Chapter 268: The Last Throw
Fernandez said that Ibaka is a big threat to Wang Meng's shooting, the former Congolese player has a great advantage in height and bounce, so he pounced, Wang Meng clearly felt that if he chose to shoot in this situation, there would be only one result, which was blocked.
Ibaka also thinks so, as the NBA's top blocking expert, he almost expected that Wang Meng would be slapped away by him. "If I block Wang Meng's crucial shot, will it make me more popular?" For no reason, such an idea suddenly appeared in Ibaka's mind, but then, his thought disappeared.
Wang Meng was in the air, and suddenly leaned back sharply, unlike ordinary players who leaned back at 75 degrees, Wang Meng's recline was very large, almost to 60 degrees, or even lower, in this case, Ibaka couldn't block Wang Meng at all, and could only watch Wang Meng throw the ball out.
"Huh!" The basketball hollowed into the net, and at the same time, Wang Meng fell to the ground due to excessive leaning back.
"Drink! Strike! Not only them, but also the Chinese players on the bench were eager to try and want to rush to the court, Deng Huade stopped them all sensibly, joking, there are rules for basketball games, if non-game players enter the court at will, they will be blown off, and now at such a critical time, no mistakes can be made.
Spain called a timeout, although Wang Meng scored the goal, but it did not mean that Spain lost, in fact, the weak side is still the Chinese team, Wang Meng's three points just tied the score, Wang Meng took only two seconds to catch the ball and shoot outside, and there were 32 seconds left in the game, which was enough to maintain two offensive times. Just to see how Spain will play next.
"Spain now has nothing more than two ways to play, the first is to play steadily for 24 seconds, get two points and then defend us to win, and there is a strong fast break to win two points and keep the remaining time at about 28 seconds, so that Spain will attack again time."
"The way we deal with it is simple, but it's definitely not easy to do." Deng Huade said loudly: "We need to defend against Spain's next attack, as long as we defend it, then the initiative is really in our hands!" Keep an eye on your own people, if the opponent blocks and dismantles, you must go up to make up for the defense as soon as possible, we only need to guard against a ball! ”
Back on the field, Wang Meng held his knees with both hands, feeling that his legs and feet were softening, Wang Meng was fighting hard throughout the game, plus the extra physical strength consumed by the instant explosion many times, Wang Meng had reached the limit again.
It seemed that seeing that Wang Meng's state was a little not good, Yao Ming patted Wang Meng's shoulder and said, "This is the last fight!" ”
In order to strengthen his defensive ability, Yao Ming naturally returned to the field again.
Looking up at Yao Ming's serious face, Wang Meng nodded.
Unlike the Chinese team, which grabbed three points, Spain sent the ball to Calderón after returning from a timeout, and then Calderón controlled the ball and stood at the top of the three-point line to prepare for the tactical arrangement.
"It looks like it's going to take 24 seconds to get ready to attack." Seeing this situation, Wang Meng also knew Spain's decision, "Are you ready to decide the winner with one blow?" ”
The clock ticked by, and with 10 seconds left on the offensive time, Calderon finally hoisted the basketball to Pau Gasol, who was standing inside to ask for the ball.
At this critical juncture, Spain has chosen to put its hopes on a veteran who has already led Spain to many international tournaments.
Looking at Yi Jianlian, who was staring at Gasol, Wang Meng's heart suddenly burst out, and he had a bad feeling.
Yi Jianlian tried his best to stand up to Gasol, he knew that the most important moment in his life had come, and his defense would go down in history, whether he could defend it or not. Of course, Yi Jianlian wants to be the one who defends and is praised, not to be spurned by thousands of people because he didn't defend it.
But it's not something he can defend if he wants to.
Gasol leaned on Yi Jianlian and did not choose to play directly with his back, but suddenly turned around and wanted to shoot head-on.
Yi Jianlian hurriedly went up to interfere, and he kept an eye on it, and did not choose to jump to interfere, as Yi Jianlian expected, Gasol's shot was a feint, seeing Yi Jianlian come up to interfere, Gasol slapped the basketball to the ground, squeezing Yi Jianlian and rushing to the basket.
Yi Jianlian stared at Big Gasol with his chest, trying to squeeze Big Gasol out of the inner line. Da Gasol dribbled and turned, immediately dodged Yi Jianlian's hard center of gravity, continued to erase the inside line, reached the basket in two steps, and raised his hand to go to the basket.
"Damn it!" Yi Jianlian was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped up to block Da Gasol.
Seeing Yi Jianlian jump and block, Da Gasol unhurriedly put away the basketball again, bowed his head and let go of Yi Jianlian, and then raised his hand to send the basketball to the basket. While sending the basketball to the basket, Gasol did not forget to glance at Yao Ming, who was the most threatening, only to see that Yao Ming was dead behind his younger brother Mark Gasol, and he couldn't get over at all, Gasol was suddenly relieved.
"No, why do you feel as if you have forgotten anyone, Wang Meng?" As Wang Meng's perennial teammate, how could Da Gasol ignore Wang Meng at such a critical moment?
He was just about to turn his head to look at Wang Meng, but before he could turn his head, he heard Calderon's frightened shout, "Paul! Be careful! ”
Immediately afterwards, Gasol, who turned his head, saw Wang Meng's chin.
That's right, it's the chin, and it's very close to Gasol.
Before Gasol could think more, the hand that was grabbing the basketball and preparing to go to the basket suddenly felt a huge surge of power, and the basketball in his hand flew out uncontrollably.
"How could it be ?!!" Gasol watched in shock as Wang Meng flew out of him like a superman, and at the same time put his basketball on the rebound, and his brain fell into a crash for a while.
In the past, when I played in the Hornets, every time I saw Wang Meng rushing into the inside line with an inhuman speed to block those big players, Gasol would be glad that he and Wang Meng were in the same team, and it would not be ashamed to be blocked by Wang Meng like this, but Gasol was finally blocked by Wang Meng like this.
"After all, it's still too late." Gasol let out a long sigh, it's not like he hasn't been blocked by players, but as a power forward, Gasol really hasn't let a point guard block.
Gasol didn't sigh much, and suddenly found that the situation was a little wrong, and after being rebounded by Wang Meng's basketball on the rebound, it fell straight into his arms, and in front of him was an empty basket.
Without even having time to think about it, Gasol subconsciously raised his hand and sent the basketball into the basket.
"What a damn thing!" Wang Meng happened to look back and see this scene, and immediately regretted it, "I broke out in an instant when I knew that I wouldn't open it." ”
The cover just now had consumed a little of Wang Meng's remaining physical strength, so that when Wang Meng landed, his legs were weak and he sat directly on the ground. Unexpectedly, Gasol scored this goal in the end.
"Pause!" Deng Huade immediately called a timeout.
Things have developed towards the worst-case scenario, and the Chinese team is once again on the passive, leaving only 6 seconds left for the Chinese team. Spain, on the other hand, are two points ahead.
These two points in this case are obviously a very suffocating score.
"It's the last stand." Deng Huade said solemnly: "Wang Meng, it's useless to arrange any tactics now, I decided to take the opportunity in your hands, everyone will create opportunities for you in a while, you need to do the same as before, throw the ball in." ”
Wang Meng nodded fiercely, Yao Ming, as an inside lineman, is not suitable for such a thing, and a guard or forward with a more stable shot is a frequent visitor to the lore.
Deng Huade is also single, and directly put all his hopes on Wang Meng alone, Wang Meng can throw it in, then China will defeat Spain and advance to the finals, if not, then what will bring China is failure.
Wang Meng's blow must have been used in order to ensure the hit rate, and the heart eye skill is also cooling, the only thing that can be used is an instant burst, not to mention that Wang Meng's physical strength can no longer support his instant burst burst out of powerful power, even if Wang Meng can use an instant burst, when he shoots at the three-point line, he opens the instant burst that he doesn't want to throw the ball in.
Despite this, Wang Meng still calmly accepted this task, he knew that in the entire Chinese team, no one was more suitable for this task than him, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, these three-point players usually shoot one by one, but in this kind of international competition, their shooting rate at critical moments is really unbelievable.
Yao Ming patted Wang Meng on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be too nervous, even if you can't throw this ball and stop in the semifinals, it's successful enough." ”
Wang Meng smiled, he looked at Yao Ming, and said, "Nervous? Don't really use that word for me. ”
Yao Ming was stunned, he suddenly remembered that standing in front of him was the 11-season finals MVP, the 12-year All-Star MVP, and the strongman Wang Meng, who led the team to the second round of the playoffs in 12 years.
"Huh." Yao Ming smiled and shook his head, Wang Meng's age always makes people feel not particularly mature, but if you think about it carefully, how could Wang Meng ever disappoint people at a critical moment?
"Well, it's the last six seconds of the day, and after six seconds, we may stay on the court and fight, or we may just be off the court and watch others on the field, but whatever the result, I want you to remember." Deng Huade exclaimed: "I will be proud of you, you are the best player I have coached in my life.
