Chapter 278: Helpless Defeat (Part II)
Tang Wenlong couldn't help but roll his eyes, as if after returning to the national team, Gasol, a well-known technical center in the NBA, has become a little different. Maybe he has never been soft, but the honor and aura of the country make him more courageous!
The Chinese team only had one last timeout left, and Deng Huade endured it and did not use it.
Tang Wenlong advanced the ball past the half, and it was Fernandez who had already committed four fouls on his back to defend him, and the Spanish boy was also out of the way at this point, anyway, it didn't matter if he left the field, as long as he could block Tang Wenlong's attack.
As soon as the half passed, Calderon ran directly over to wrap up, and two people defended Tang Wenlong!
Tang Wenlong's face darkened, he was not close to the three-point line, the Spanish player pounced like crazy, in order not to make a mistake, he could only choose to distribute the ball to Sun Yue, who was in the vacant position within the field of vision.
Sun Yue vacated his seat and didn't dare to make a move, waiting for Tang Wenlong and Fernandez to play the game of eagles catching chickens.
Tang Wenlong even made an unknown number of anti-run feints before he ran out of the encirclement and interception of the two people, and then leaned back against Fernandez, who followed him like a mad dog, and asked for the ball with one hand and an open arm.
At this time, the Spanish front fell into the right position again, which means that the Chinese team has taken so many tactical covers in vain, and in the end, it is up to Tang Wenlong's personal ability to solve the problem.
In 10 seconds, Tang Wenlong took the ball and turned around directly, and broke through without saying a word.
Emergency stop, the right hand controls the spinning basketball, and the crotch is switched to the left hand after the next beat, and the whole body has an exaggerated emergency braking from movement to static.
"Grass!" Fernandez couldn't control his center of gravity at this time, and wanted to force his way back to defend Tang Wenlong, but his pace was chaotic, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he was sitting on the ground with his ass. With the inertia of moving forward, he slipped a distance, looking at Tang Wenlong's calm eyes looking at him, as if he was saying "Made's retarded", he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a hole to drill into.
The premise is that he has to be a hard laborer.
Tang Wenlong stepped on the line, and he didn't have time to think about it more, so he moved forward with his left foot. Move your right foot backwards, and then use both toes at the same time, and the correct feeling is transmitted to the tips of your fingers, which gently pluck the ball and shoot the ball steadily!
Hit again! He scored 5 points in a row at a critical moment! Spain led by three points at 72-69.
Tang Wenlong's ability to have a big heart simply looked at the audience all over the world, and the most terrifying thing was that he scored another 31 points quietly, and in the whole game, Spain resolutely executed the package from the beginning. Even at the last moment, it was directly a double ball bag, and Tang Wenlong was not given a chance to shoot as soon as half time passed.
It's like Spain's tactics are two people with the best mobility to defend Tang Wenlong, and then the remaining three people play three or four in the half, no matter how powerful Tang Wenlong is, two NBA-level players always follow him and wrap him, and he can't play his strongest ability.
Fortunately, the goal was scored at the critical moment, and Tang Wenlong raised his arms and roared, and he also felt very good. It was possible to score in such an unfavorable situation.
There were only 30 seconds left in the clock, and the Chinese team did not foul. Give Spain time for the last attack.
Spain spent less than 10 seconds in the end, and the basketball was passed to the hands of Gasol Jr. as soon as he saw that his brother might not be able to crush Yi Jianlian, so he ran over and cooperated with him with the inside pass, which was a game he often played with his brother when he was a child, and he passed it over. He kept putting it back on.
It's just that he changed his position, Gasol Jr. stuck Wang Zhizhi with his back, and he hit the ground with an exaggerated attack without stopping, which happened to be handed over to Gasol, who was cutting in the air, and Gasol took a step. Backhand layup. The two of them actually played a football-like wall-hitting coordination, Yi Jianlian was only one step late, only ten centimeters slower, and his long arm was able to destroy this cooperation.
In 8.6 seconds, 74-69, the Chinese team almost fell into death.
Deng Huade reluctantly asked for the last timeout, and he arranged a three-point strategy, and the first executor was of course Tang Wenlong.
The Spanish coach was even more ruthless, directly emptying the inside line of the Chinese team, and went all out to save the three points of the Chinese team. Tang Wenlong always has six or seven hands around him interfering with him catching the ball, seeing that five seconds are coming, Sun Yue has no choice but to give it to Wang Shipeng on the sideline, Wang Shipeng is also the focus of Spain's care, as soon as he catches the ball, Reyes raises his long arms high, looking like you will cover you if you vote.
The clock began to tick the count, and everyone was nervous and couldn't breathe.
Tang Wenlong desperately dodged Fernandez, and retreated back to receive Wang Shipeng's high lob at a position near the middle line.
He swung the ball to the left, then broke through to the right, followed by Fernandez and Calderón, and little Gasol in the distance also ran over to block him, as if he was holding a jade seal instead of a basketball in his hand!
Tang Wenlong didn't have time to think, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his teammate who raised his arms and waved to him, and then passed the ball steadily with a horizontal pass.
"Smack!"
Zhu Fangyu clasped his hands, bent his knees, pressed his wrists, and shot three points!
The game was also dragged out of time by the Spanish team, Zhu Fangyu only had the last 4 seconds left when he shot, even if he hit this three-pointer, the Chinese team still hung on the edge of the cliff, and Spain even had a timeout to arrange tactics.
"Bell!" The basketball bounced off the basket, and Gasol grabbed the rebound, held it in his arms at once, and the game was over.
Tang Wenlong was helpless and speechless, he was used to losing in the NBA, but it was the first time he lost in the national team, and it was an indescribable experience, it can only be said that the tactics of the head coach of Spain are too targeted, almost all of them are aimed at him alone, even if it is for this reason, it doesn't matter if other Chinese players train to shoot.
"I don't know where he got his self-confidence, we will definitely win the next game if we feel better." Tang Wenlong turned around and walked back to the court, slapped his hands with Zhu Fangyu, and said to Zhu Fangyu.
Zhu Fangyu, who was still a little sullen, was stunned for a moment, and for the first time felt the huge gap in thought between herself and Tang Wenlong. He remembered that at that time, he had also received a tryout for an NBA team, and he had almost entered the league where the masters were so high, but in the end, it still didn't happen. Now that I think about it, maybe it's not because my own technology and body can meet the standards, or because it's difficult to adapt to the United States, but what I lack may be Tang Wenlong's self-confidence spirit of never admitting defeat
Tang Wenlong didn't know that his casual words had such a big impact on his teammates, and he was still thinking about how to defeat the next opponent - the Russian men's basketball team led by Kirilenko. (To be continued.) )
