On the sidelines, Coach Yunus breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost forgot, Zhang Guan doesn't seem to be able to shoot, let alone free throws. If the foul is committed on Zhang Guan and he is asked to take free throws, he might actually miss two free throws. Hurry up and replace him! "
Although Zhang Guan still has some skill points, he has not learned shooting skills. In the previous men's basketball training camp, Zhang Guan has always said that his shooting is only at an amateur level, so everyone in the men's basketball team knows that Zhang Guan Can't shoot.
But it is exactly this that makes the other players of the men's basketball team breathe a sigh of relief. A person who has never received formal basketball training has such a powerful breakthrough and breakthrough distribution, which has exceeded everyone's normal understanding of basketball. If he could still shoot accurately, Zhang Guan would probably be regarded as a monster.
The Spanish team fouled, and coach Yunus took advantage of this opportunity to quickly replace Zhang Guan and replace players who are good at free throws.
The moment Zhang Guan walked off the court, all the fans stood up and gave Zhang Guan the warmest applause. They know that Zhang Guan may be the biggest contributor to winning this game. Although Zhang Guan only scored 4 points, although Zhang Guan only participated in two rounds of offense, Zhang Guan's 4 points were the most critical. I got it at the right time, when the national team needed to score the most, and it was priceless.
Next, the Chinese team continued to serve. After a defensive change, Dayao received the ball. This foul was also committed on Dayao's head. Dayao is the only center in the NBA who can execute tactical free throws. He has a free throw shooting rate like a shooter. Dayao did not disappoint the fans. He made two free throws and the point difference once again came to four points.
At this time, there were less than seven seconds left before the end of the game. That is, the serve just now took up more than one second of the Spanish team's time.
In less than seven seconds, the Spanish team had no choice but to fight tooth and nail to chase a 4-point ball. A three-pointer was their only chance.
Reneses decisively called a timeout, arranged a set of tactics, and replaced Navarro, who has three-point ability. When the game started again, except Gasol who was fighting for offensive rebounds in the paint, the other four players all had the ability to shoot three-pointers.
Rubio passed the ball to Fernandez. Fernandez directly shot a three-pointer. Unfortunately, the ball was short. Gasol worked hard to move the ball outside the three-point line. After Rubio grabbed the ball, he once again shot a three-pointer. Still didn't get in. At this time, he roughly reached the basket and grabbed this crucial defensive rebound.
The Spanish team did not foul again. There were 1.5 seconds left in the game at this time, and further fouls would be meaningless. 78-74, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team and won its first victory in this Olympic Games!
…
On the bus heading to the Wukesong basketball court, the members of the Dream Team were either listening to music or chatting with each other, looking very relaxed.
The opponent that Dream Team 8 is about to face is the Angola men's basketball team, which can be said to be the weakest team among the twelve participating teams in this Olympics. Of course, these big names from the NBA will not take the Angola men's basketball team to heart.
At this time, team leader Colangelo's cell phone rang, and he immediately answered it. After a moment, Colangelo turned around and said to Krzyzewski, who was sitting behind him: "The previous games between Spain and China have already happened. The fight is over.”
"Oh? What's the score?" Krzyzewski asked with raised eyebrows.
"78-74." Colangelo replied immediately.
"Oh, it sounds like the Spaniards are a little out of shape. They only beat the Chinese team by four points." Krzyzewski said.
"The Spaniards are indeed out of shape." Colangelo continued: "But they didn't even win by four points. They lost, and the winner was the Chinese."
"What did you say?" Krzyzewski almost jumped out of his seat.
…
The men's basketball game against Spain was held at 16:45, so after the game ended, it was not yet 7 o'clock in the evening, and the news reports about this game happened to catch up with the 7 o'clock broadcast that day.
The men's basketball team's victory over Spain was undoubtedly a big upset in the Olympics. You must know that the Spanish team won the championship at the World Championships two years ago and is considered to be a powerful team after the United States. The fact that the men's basketball team can defeat the Spanish men's basketball team is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
And this is also the first time the men's basketball team has defeated the Spanish team. For the men's basketball team, defeating the Spanish team made their path to qualifying for the group smoother.
At the same time, various media are discussing this matter, and there is even more praise on the Internet.
"The men's basketball players are awesome. Facing such a strong team from Spain, they dared to fight hard and persisted until the end!"
"We not only won the game today, but also won the future. The performance of the men's basketball team showed us that as long as we unite, we can overcome difficulties."
"The performance of the men's basketball team today really exceeded my expectations. Although I did not watch the live broadcast of the game, I know that this game must be very difficult! Men's basketball athletes, keep up the good work!"
This time, no one questioned whether Zhang Guan was qualified to be a member of the men's basketball team. Anyone who watched that game knows that although Zhang Guan played for less than a minute and only scored 4 points, he scored at the most critical moment. It was these 4 points that helped the men's basketball team resist Spain. The team's desperate counterattack helped the men's basketball team win the final victory.
"Zhang Guan is definitely the biggest contributor to the men's basketball team's victory. In the last minute, the Spanish team was about to catch up with the score. It was Zhang Guan's two breakthroughs that kept the score at 4 points."
"I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be so good at basketball. It's just like playing with the Spanish golden boy!"
"Didn't you see, Gasol was forced to dunk on him! There is a 20 centimeter height difference between the two of them, but Gasol didn't take any advantage at all!"
"As expected of Zhang Guan, he always brings surprises to us. I was questioning whether he should play basketball before, but now that I think about it, I am really blind! I have decided that no matter what Zhang Guan does in the future, I will Everyone supports him!”
"No wonder the Basketball Association wants Zhang Guan to join the men's basketball team. It turns out that the Basketball Association has known Zhang Guan's greatness for a long time. This time I must give the Basketball Association a thumbs up! The Basketball Association finally did a beautiful thing! "
"When we played against the US team before, Zhang Guan didn't play. It must have been intentional by Yunas. Yunas didn't want to expose Zhang Guan's strength. As a result, Spain was caught off guard! I guess if it hadn't been tied by Spain If the score is known, Yunus may continue to hide Zhang Guan!"
"It's such a pity that Zhang Guan only played less than one minute of the game. I also hope to see Zhang Guan's performance more. In the next game, I hope to give Zhang Guan more playing time.
In Spain, in Europe, the public was already boiling at this time. The Spanish people obviously could not accept the result of losing to the Chinese team. Some people even went to the gate of the Spanish Basketball Association to protest and asked the president of the Spanish Basketball Association to step down.
The Spanish Basketball Federation was already criticized when it fired its meritorious coach Hernandez more than a month ago, so the Spanish people immediately blamed the loss on the last-minute coaching change. The Spanish Basketball Federation was definitely blamed. .
