269 OT! Carry the team
The situation has taken a turn for the worse!
Several people in Spain were watching the game in a daze, and a minute ago they thought they should be able to win the Chinese team steadily, but who knew that at this time that damn Zhang Chen jumped out again. The person who gritted his teeth when he mentioned Zhang Chen was Gasol, when the Suns bloodily slaughtered the Lakers at home, Zhang Chen was the mastermind, even Nash They can be regarded as an accomplice at most, and Zhang Chen's ferocity remained in the depths of his heart because of this. Now that he saw Zhang Chen exerting his power again, there was nothing surprising that he was angry.
The Spaniards walked off the pitch in a huff, anyway, now their chance of victory is only extra time, in fact, they have all thought about making the Chinese team have no return, although the situation has changed a little bit, but their original intention has not changed. It is necessary and necessary to defeat the Chinese team, and like the American team, a strong team like Spain is also a championship, and their goal is to step on the top of the world, so they naturally do not want to lose under the Chinese team.
"Well done!" Younas came up and patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, and at the same time, Yao Ming also came over and patted Zhang Chen's shoulder: "Thanks to your performance at the critical moment, otherwise we would have lost the game just now." ”
Zhang Chen modestly said where and where, and at this time Younas scolded with a smile: "Guys, stop complimenting each other, what we need now is to find a way to win this game - tell me, do you want to win?" ”
"I want to!" Everyone replied in unison that although the loss to the United States in the last game was expected, but after all, it was a loss, and they were more or less unhappy, and this game was different, they were quite close to victory. Of course, this proximity was also exchanged for Zhang Chen's play in the last moments of the first half, but it didn't matter.
"Our next tactic is to focus on the outside!" Younas waved his hand and said proudly: "We have to put our offensive firepower on the outside, and at the same time, the possession is still given to Zhang Chen, because he is the key to being able to get the game." This sentence has already shown Younas's attitude, in fact, he is really getting more and more fond of Zhang Chen. It's a pity that he also knows the little bit of the cat between Zhang Chen and Lan Xie, and knows that Zhang Chen may not have much time to appear in the national team, so he cherishes Zhang Chen's use even more.
It's just that this sentence is a little unpleasant when it reaches Liu Wei's ears - although Zhang Chen's ball control skills are quite strong, which everyone admits. It's just that he still has some vague unhappiness in his heart. After all, he is supposed to be a real point guard, but in this case, he just thinks about it, and he knows that he also wasted a lot of opportunities to shoot today, which makes Younas extremely annoyed.
Liu Wei stuck out his tongue and didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't have anything to say, and after saying these things, overtime began.
The two sides still sent their respective starting lineups, and in the face of Zhang Chen, the Spanish team did not dare to slack off at all, they were afraid that Zhang Chen would suddenly go berserk and kill them without leaving a piece of armor, so they arranged people around Zhang Chen to trap him. Zhang Chen's scoring is also more difficult, and Zhang Chen's opponent, the person who defends Zhang Chen is an NBA player - land? Fernandez. This guy's appearance is not bad, he has also played against Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen knows his strength, it is not remarkable in the NBA, but in such an international league, every NBA player is a wealth of the national team.
At the beginning of the jump ball, Yao Ming was still slightly inferior, the ball was jumped away by the Spanish team, their point guard grabbed the rebound, and killed most of the court in an instant, and then passed the ball to Gasol, who followed quickly, Gasol hit a layup, and the Spanish team led by two points.
Extra time is a battle of life and death, every ball will be fought both sides, everyone will fight for its ownership, after all, extra time is only 5 minutes, every ball is quite important.
Zhang Chen controlled the ball over half court and quickly came to the three-point line, Yao Ming was desperately stuck in the position to receive Zhang Chen's pass, Zhang Chen saw that Yao Ming hi needed a while to pass through a crotch, transferred the basketball to his left hand, and then, immediately used an acceleration to hit the depth of the inside line.
Although the Spanish team adopted a defensive approach to Zhang Chen, their bag did not really work at this moment, because Zhang Chen's speed just now was too fast and dazzling, and by the time people noticed it, he had already appeared on the inside.
Gasol immediately jumped up to defend, Zhang Chen did not retract in time, but he had to face the difficulties, but looking at his current trajectory, most of the shots were going to be covered by Gasol.
Zhang Chen was unwilling, swept out of the corner of his eyes, and just saw Sun Yue who was in a vacant state, and at that moment he forcibly twisted his waist in the air, and the basketball left his right hand and rushed out!
The players who have been with the Suns have been able to learn a lot of things a lot of times, the two main ones are shooting and passing, most of the Suns players have good shooting skills, and the shooting crosshairs are also very good, and the other is their passing, perhaps because of the subtle influence, although the players from the Suns can't all be point guards, they can also occasionally pass a few brilliant balls, such as now.
Zhang Chen's ball trajectory was quite weird, Sun Yue was not very comfortable when he received it, but it was enough for him to shoot in the empty space, so he no longer stayed, shot the basketball, and after the basketball crossed an arc, he crashed into the net, and the Chinese team overtook by one point.
Spain's possession, their outside tried to shoot, but was blocked by the basket, the rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming, and quickly passed to Zhang Chen, who began to run to the half. This time, Zhang Chen's speed was quite amazing, and in just a moment, he had already crossed the half court and came to the opponent's three-point line.
The other party made a little mistake in judging this ball, so Zhang Chen launched a fast attack, when Zhang Chen's speed and firepower were in full swing, everyone was surprised to find that even if Zhang Chen was in possession of the ball and the person chasing Zhang Chen did not control the ball, they could not catch up with Zhang Chen, on the contrary, Zhang Chen was getting farther and farther away from them.
Collect the ball! One step, one step, two steps! Zhang Chen jumped high in mid-air, and after a moment his right hand reached the basket, he pressed the basketball into it fiercely, and the tremor of the basket reminded people of the strength of the ball. Zhang Chen's strength training has finally achieved preliminary results, for example, the current ball, if he had buckled it before, it would probably be extremely ugly, which made people feel a little painful to look at, but now that his strength has risen, he will play quite beautifully when he handles this ball.
Zhang Chen's growth this holiday is indeed in all aspects, his dunks are more beautiful and full of tension, his shooting has gradually developed in the direction of Dacheng after being sharpened, and his ball control skills can basically be regarded as a grandmaster.
The applause of the audience instantly pierced the stadium, as if it wanted to break out of the ceiling and kill the boundless sky. The Chinese team is already 4 points ahead!
The Spaniards were in a hurry, this time it was Fernandez himself who made a breakthrough, although Zhang Chen's defense was not very good, but it was still possible to prevent Fernandes, so Fernandez finally chose to block and dismantle, Zhang Chen was basically helpless in front of this block, so that Fernandez got two points like a sneak attack, and the score gap returned to 2 points.
However, the ball has come to the hands of the Chinese team, but unfortunately they failed to score this time, the basketball walked around the basket and then ran out, the rebound was grabbed by the Spaniards, and a mid-range shot came after running through the half, but unfortunately it didn't go in. The Chinese team attacked again...... Still didn't get in.
It was two and a half minutes of extra time, and time flew by at this time, with China leading Spain by two points. This time they passed the basketball to the hands of Gasol on the inside, this big tall man did not completely go to a deterrent route, Gasol's presence is more of a combination of rigidity and softness, he has the height of a center and the dribbling skills of a point guard, and he also has the vision that the point guard does not have and the passing skills of the point guard. His offensive options for this ball are quite good, he pretends to want to beat Yao Ming on the inside, but in fact he is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. His real target was Calderón, a player who burst in from the outside, and his pass was pinpointed into Calderon's hands.
Calderon saw this opportunity and quickly slammed the dunk, the Chinese team's interior line was completely too late to defend, so the basket trembled again, and the time passed 2 minutes and 47 seconds, and the Chinese team's lead was tied.
Collapse at a critical moment is also a feature of the Chinese team, of course, there is also an objective reason, that is, because of their physical strength, and now the physical strength of the Chinese team does have problems, everyone is a little out of breath, including Zhang Chen, he now also feels that he has lost a lot of physical strength, as if every breath exhaled, every running step can make the physical support in the body consume more quickly. However, he still controlled the ball for half of the court diligently, and then hung the ball to Yi Jianlian on the inside, but unfortunately Yi Jianlian was a little inconvenient to move against the opponent's inside, and the rapid loss of physical strength, he pulled to the outside to shoot.
"Bang!" The basket once again refused the entry of the basketball, the ball returned to the hands of the Spanish team, and 3 minutes and 05 seconds passed, and there was only 1 minute and 55 seconds left before the end of the game.
The more polite Chinese audience did not boo, on the contrary, they gave a goodwill applause to Gasol's ball, but the applause was sparse. At the same time, it can also be heard through their cheers and cheers for the Chinese team, and they are also a little anxious.
Now the Spanish team has finally overtaken the score, it is in a period of high morale, in short, now their defense is more active, and at this time there is only 1 minute and 32 seconds left, Zhang Chen passed the ball to Liu Wei and asked him to organize the attack by himself. Liu Wei was also a little anxious when he saw this situation, and felt that this was the time when the team needed to shoot by itself, so he staggered to the place near the free throw line to shoot a jumper, but unfortunately the basket rejected him, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol, with 1 minute and 16 seconds left, the Chinese team was 2 points behind, but the ball was in the hands of the Spaniards, and their situation was a little bad.
Everyone was a little disgusted by Liu Wei's choice, especially Younas, who also stomped his feet next to the basketball court to express his dissatisfaction with the ball, but Liu Wei didn't know this, in fact, he was a little annoyed and guilty now, but he thought about it anyway, but he was a little unlucky. Thinking about it, he felt a lot more relaxed, and now he regained his energy and began to defend the Spanish point guard in front of him. As if the opponent was dragging his feet, it wasn't until 18 seconds into the offensive time that he passed the basketball to Gasol on the inside.
Gasol was so lucky that it turned out to be another hook hit, and with 52 seconds left, the Chinese team was already four points behind.
The audience began to be dissatisfied, the Chinese team did not score a point in the past few minutes, although they played quite well at the beginning of overtime, who knows how to shoot and how not to hit? When everyone was frantically yelling at China to cheer, their hearts were also full of nervousness.
No one wants to lose in this game, neither side wants to lose. The basketball was controlled by Zhang Chen and reached outside the three-point line with 44 seconds left.
Zhang Chen handed the basketball to his right hand, then faced Fernandez, and then smashed the basketball to the ground, and his body instantly followed the fight, turning into a bolt of lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he was about to pull Fernandez almost half a distance away. Fernandez was in a hurry, and he quickly followed his body, and his usual surname was basically to kill the inside.
At this time, the players who helped Fernandez to wrap Zhang Chen were also in place, and the two of them were about to surround Zhang Chen in the middle, but at this moment, Zhang Chen dribbled under his crotch, and instantly took back the basketball that was rushing forward unhurriedly, and then his body took a step back without hurry after being steady, and then he stood firmly on the periphery of the three-point line.
Later, the person who came up to wrap Zhang Chen stood up to his body, and Fernandez was tragic, he wanted to rush up and completely restrain Zhang Chen, who knew that Zhang Chen suddenly shrank back at this time, and such a shrinkage would be a bit of a cheat for him, so Fernandez also followed in James's footsteps on the ground, and accidentally fell on the ground, almost knocking off his front teeth.
Zhang Chen ignored Fernandez's miserable situation, but fired a steady jumper, no one in front of him could pose a threat to him, and the basketball shot steadily, easily into the frame, allowing the Chinese team to take another step back from the edge of the cliff - just like Zhang Chen's rather particular step back. The Chinese team is now one point behind their opponents, and although there are only 37 seconds left, the situation of the Chinese team is undoubtedly much better.
The applause of the audience suddenly rang out one after another, layer by layer in the basketball court, this ball Zhang Chen is not only so simple as letting the score gap of the Chinese team only last 1 point, but more importantly, he shook Fernandez at this very critical moment, which is undoubtedly quite inspiring.
Since Zhang Chen shined in the Olympic Games, everyone has found that he has changed from the guy who can only break through with speed to the current ankle finisher, and his flower-wearing butterfly step seems to be in the same vein as Iverson's, but it is a step higher than Iverson's, at least a two-meter-three-meter person uses a flower-wearing butterfly step, which is a miracle in itself.
The Spaniards were quite annoyed, they didn't expect Zhang Chen to stand up again at such a time, and at this time they couldn't help but think of Bosh's words: "He's like a vampire...... He's always there when you hate him, and he sucks up your score gap little by little...... You want to say to him, okay, no, you need to take a break...... But alas, he didn't listen at all! "But the ball still has to be played, and the Spaniards started to attack unhurried again, but Fernandez is not in very good shape, and he is not happy when anyone is shaken down by an attacking player.
However, after several transfers, the basketball finally came to the hands of Gasol on the inside, Gasol began to stand up to Yao Ming, and once again used his offensive ability to finally hook up for the layup, unfortunately, at this time, apparently luck has deviated from the blessing of them, and the rebound was snatched by the Chinese team, and at this time there are only 18 seconds left before the end of the game.
The Chinese team immediately called a timeout, and after the timeout, Zhang Chen still controlled the ball, he controlled the ball and came to the halfcourt, and then faced Fernandez, and began to slowly look for the position of his teammates. Zhang Chen maintained this position for a long time, and it was not until there were three seconds left in the match that he began to make real moves.
In fact, when Zhang Chen was in possession of the ball, the Spaniards also expressed strong contempt for this kind of delay - but they couldn't steal at all, that guy's ball control skills were too good, and at the same time they couldn't foul, after all, it was they who were leading now, since the Chinese team dared to risk suppressing time until the last moment, why should they take the risk?
And Zhang Chen controlled the ball like this until the last three seconds, and suddenly jumped high outside the three-point line! Suddenly, the defenders hidden on both sides rushed up and headed towards Zhang Chen, and it was conservatively estimated that there were three people.
Through the large screen brought by the camera, the audience can even see the uninhibited smile on the corner of Zhang Chen's mouth at this time!
They saw that Zhang Chen was also a little upset when he was dragging time, after all, in that case, the win or loss of this game would basically be maintained on Zhang Chen alone, but Zhang Chen obviously didn't care about that thing, and a twenty-year-old boy had the bearing to take on such a responsibility...... It's also convincing.
