In the German team's locker room, Coach Stowe was also encouraging the players.
"Boys, you did a great job. Although we didn't find the touch in the first quarter, our defense in the second quarter was very good, allowing the Chinese team to only score 8 points. We have to keep it up." Coach Stowe continued. Said: "But we can't be careless. I believe that if the Chinese team continues to fall into a scoring drought, they will definitely change their tactics. Don't forget that they also have Zhang Guan on the bench who is good at breakthroughs. Once Zhang Guan comes on the court, we will Keep your spirits up to deal with this unknown opponent!"
The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the athletes took the field again to start the third quarter.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Dayao and Sun Yue scored consecutively, and the Chinese team completed the lead 32-31, and then the two sides fell into a stalemate. When the two sides started fighting inside, the Chinese team gradually regained the lead. Especially Sun Yue's block made a great contribution at this moment. He blocked Nowitzki's layup. The Chinese team became more and more courageous as they fought. , with a 12-4 climax at the end of the third quarter, locking the score at 47-39. This time it was the German team's turn and only scored 8 points in one quarter.
After three quarters, the Chinese team held an 8-point lead, giving fans hope of victory. At this time, the audience temporarily forgot about letting Zhang Guan play. After all, they are leading now, which shows that the current playing style and lineup configuration are very good, and there is no need to change the lineup.
Coach Yunus also continued to put Zhang Guan on the bench. For coaches, directing the game is like playing cards. Whoever has more cards in the end is more likely to win. For now, Zhang Guan is obviously the last trump card hidden by Yunus. Coach Yunus will not reveal this trump card unless he has to.
In the fourth quarter, while the German team strengthened its defense, it also made mistakes one after another and failed to score a point in three minutes. For the Chinese team, Dayao scored 4 points in a row, and the score became 51-39. With the German team's shooting rate today, chasing 12 points in seven minutes seems a bit difficult. The two teams then stalemate for several rounds, and Wang Shipeng even scored a 2+1. The score was 54 to 41, and the Chinese team's lead reached 13 points.
The German team looked more and more passive. At this critical moment, Nowitzki stood up. He scored five points in a row, chasing the score to 46-54. Coach Yunus immediately requested a timeout.
At this point in the game, the physical fitness of both athletes has declined, but the Chinese team's physical fitness has obviously declined more. The most intuitive reflection is that the shooting rate has dropped significantly. Today, the Chinese team's shooting percentage was not high to begin with, and after it dropped, it became even more disastrous.
Liu Wei missed two consecutive jump shots, and for the German team, Mr. Basler scored a three-pointer, and then Nowitzki scored 2+1. At this time, the score became 52 to 54, and the German team caught up. Only two points were missing, and the Chinese team requested a timeout again.
From 54 to 41 to 54 to 52, the German team scored 11 points in a row, but during this period, the Chinese team did not score a point.
Coach Yunus looked at Zhang Guan and said: "Zhang Guan, get ready to play! Just like we did against the Spanish team, we now need your breakthrough to use your breakthrough to tear apart the German team's defense, just like we did Beat Spain like that!”
…
"Look, that's Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan is on the stage!"
"Zhang Guan finally played. In the previous game against Spain, Zhang Guan came on at the last moment. At that time, the Spanish team was about to tie the score, which is the same as the situation now!"
"I seem to see history repeating itself. Zhang Guan's sharp breakthrough is coming again!"
"I didn't watch the game against Spain. I have been regretting it. I didn't expect to make up for it today!"
The audience immediately started cheering. This cheering was not only their expectation for Zhang Guan, but also their trust in him.
…
"Well done, boys, we hit a wave of 11-0, and now we are only two points behind! The Chinese team's physical strength has dropped seriously, even for Dayao. Our strong period is finally here! Let's keep up the good work. , Victory belongs to us!" Stowe, the coach of the German team, roared loudly, cheering for his players.
At this moment, the timeout time came, the athletes were ready to take the field, and the audience roared at this moment.
"Huh? The cheering sound is much louder than before. What's going on? Did something happen?" Stowe played the tennis ball in the direction of the Chinese team and happened to see one of the five players walking onto the court. An unfamiliar number. This number has never been played before.
"No. 12? The Chinese team's No. 12! That's Zhang Guan!" Stowe exclaimed.
In international competitions, teams may not be familiar with each other, so they will be distinguished by the numbers of their players. Of course, if you are some stars, you don’t have to worry so much. For example, if you meet the US team, they are all big-name NBA stars. You can recognize them just by looking at their faces, so there is no need to look at their numbers.
Although Zhang Guan is not a big-name football star, his popularity is even better than that of big-name football stars. Not to mention that he is engaged in the sports industry, even many people who do not usually pay attention to sports know Zhang Guan.
The same was true for Stowe. When he first saw Zhang Guan's number, he was ready to lower his head to check the player information, but when he saw Zhang Guan's face clearly, he immediately recognized Zhang Guan.
"The Chinese team still sent Zhang Guan!" Stowe couldn't help but feel guilty. He wanted to call the players back and rearrange the tactics, but he was definitely reluctant to take a timeout. The game had reached the final stage, and every timeout They are all extremely precious, and every timeout will affect the final outcome.
…
The game started again, and the ball was passed to Zhang Guan. The German team was very smart and did not choose to press the whole court. Instead, it retreated to its own half and started positional defense. The Chinese team still followed the tactical arrangement. Everyone ran to the outside, which opened up enough space for Zhang Guan's next breakthrough.
The German point guard is named Demond Green. He is 29 years old this year, which can be said to be the golden age of a basketball player. Faced with Zhang Guan dribbling forward, Green did not panic. While he approached Zhang Guan, he always kept a certain distance from Zhang Guan, obviously guarding against Zhang Guan's breakthrough.
"Zhang Guan is only 22 years old this year, and he is still a basketball player. His game experience is definitely not very rich. He is just fast, but sometimes, speed is not everything, especially in defense, experience is king. !" Green thought silently, and at the same time he was full of confidence in guarding Zhang Guan.
The next moment, Zhang Guan suddenly started and broke through to the right.
"If you want to get past me, there's no way!" Green reacted immediately and blocked it with his body.
But the next time he dribbled the ball, Zhang Guan suddenly changed his hands, and then his body rushed in the other direction.
"Zhang Guan changed direction! The breakthrough just now was a fake move!" Green followed up again.
Zhang Guan, however, changed direction again.
"Continuous changes of direction?" Green followed the defense again, but this time, he did not notice that Zhang Guan was actually close to him. The distance that Green deliberately kept between him and Zhang Guan just now was already in this kind of situation. It was erased in the continuous changes of direction. At this time, Green had no defensive buffer space.
Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated and broke through Green. Green, who lost his defensive buffer space, was unable to stop Zhang Guan's progress.
"Oops, Zhang Guan broke through!" Green immediately turned around to pursue him, but he found that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan at all.
At this time, inside players are needed to help defend, but both Nowitzki and Kaman have been brought to the position near the three-point line. With the speed of the two, they cannot stop Zhang Guan now if they start to follow up. Attack the basket.
So at this moment, Green chose to foul. He wanted to foul Zhang Guan. Even if Zhang Guan was allowed to make a free throw, he would not be able to score two points.
Zhang Guan had already taken off and made a layup motion. Green, who was chasing behind him, also jumped up and went to pat Zhang Guan's arm. He even wanted to pull Zhang Guan's arm down directly so that he could not complete this move. A layup.
The two people's bodies came into contact in the air, Green's hand also grabbed Zhang Guan's back arm, and then a huge force came, and a look of horror suddenly flashed in Green's eyes.
"What a power!" Green was shocked. He already had a premonition that something was wrong. He found that his foul did not seem to interfere with Zhang Guan's layup.
The referee's whistle sounded.
The basketball falls into the basket.
Zhang Guan made a layup, the ball was scored, and there was an extra penalty!
