German coach Stowe's face instantly turned livid, while coach Yonas raised his arms and started cheering. This goal was really important. Zhang Guan scored two points and the Chinese team led 56 to 52. The four-point lead was extremely safe for the Chinese team.
What's more important is that Zhang Guan also scored 2+1, and the extra penalty will be executed next. Regardless of whether Zhang Guan's extra penalty can score a goal, the Chinese team members can use the penalty preparation time to take a short rest. This pair This is definitely good news for the Chinese team whose physical strength is almost at the bottom.
Taking advantage of the preparation time to serve, Coach Stowe called Green to his side to lay out the next tactics.
"What happened just now? Since you are about to commit a foul, you should be more decisive and hateful when you start. It is better to let him make two free throws than 2+1." Coach Stowe said very dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry." Green felt a pain that he couldn't explain. He did use a lot of force in the foul just now, but he was completely at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation. Even though he had pulled Zhang Guan's upper arm, he still couldn't stop Zhang Guan from scoring a layup.
In terms of strength, Zhang Guan is definitely the best among defenders, especially since Zhang Guan's body has been fully activated and has full impact. If he were a muscular black athlete, he might be able to stop Zhang Guan's layup with a deadlift, but Green, who is not the top defender in Europe, obviously couldn't do this.
Coach Stowe didn’t care about the extra penalty anymore. He went on to say: “The ball you just defended was very good, but Zhang Guan’s continuous change of direction ability was a bit beyond my expectation. He was better than I expected. There’s so much flexibility.”
Green nodded and admitted: "Zhang Guan shortened the distance with me through continuous changes of direction, and then forced a breakthrough through speed. It was really difficult for me to guard against him. I originally thought that Zhang Guan would not have many games, but I didn't expect him Choosing this method to attack will undoubtedly fully utilize his speed advantage."
"So we need the help of the inside players to defend. After you come on the court, tell others that when encountering this situation, they must help in advance." Coach Stowe said.
…
On the field, Zhang Guan stood on the free throw line.
At this time, it was Arab League and Zhu Fangyu who were preparing to fight for rebounds in the frontcourt, while Dayao had already retreated to the backcourt. After all, Dayao's speed is slow. If he fights for rebounds in the frontcourt, he will easily be beaten on a fast break, so it is better to prepare for defense directly in the backcourt.
I saw Ah Lian making a gesture towards Zhu Fangyu. The other party understood and immediately made a move to grab the rebound.
The players in the national team all knew that Zhang Guan couldn't shoot and his free throw skills were terrible, so Ah Lian and Zhu Fangyu were well prepared for Zhang Guan to miss the free throw.
The German team obviously doesn't know this. The Chinese team's free throws have always given people a relatively reliable feeling. Even in the fourth and fifth positions, the free throws are still very accurate. So when Zhang Guan stood at the free throw line, Nowitzki was still thinking about how to launch the offense on the next ball.
Nowitzki is the ace of the German team and the main offensive point. He knows that at this point in the game, he must stand up.
"If Zhang Guan scores a penalty, the Chinese team will lead by five points, and there is still one minute left. I will score a three-pointer as soon as possible for the next goal, and then come back to defend one, and there will be another chance to attack." Novi Just as Sky was thinking about it, Zhang Guan behind the free throw line took a deep breath and threw the ball.
"Rebound!" Ah Lian shouted. He reacted very quickly. He stepped forward and blocked a good position for rebounding. Zhu Fangyu also started at the same time, cutting to the basket and squeezing with Kaman.
"Huh?" Kaman was slightly startled. He had not expected this situation. Under normal circumstances, when teammates take free throws, shouldn't they expect to score? As for the performance of Ah Lian and Zhu Fangyu, they were sure in advance that the goal would not be scored.
The next moment, the ball bounced out of the frame. Arab League immediately took off and firmly grabbed the backboard by virtue of the pre-positioned position.
"Oops!" Nowitzki yelled. He had been thinking about the next attack. As a result, he was a little distracted and was blocked by the United Arab Emirates in a good position to grab the rebound. Moreover, Nowitzki did not expect that Zhang Guan would miss the free throw. After all, the Chinese team's previous free throw shooting rate had always been very good, so Nowitzki preconceived that Zhang Guan would also miss the free throw. Because of this, Nowitzki's reaction was half a beat too slow, and the Arab League took the lead.
Ah Lian's own physical fitness is already good, and he has been practicing in the NBA for another year. Of course, he will not let go of such a good opportunity. He just stood up and dunked with both hands. With a "bang", the ball was directly passed by Ah Lian. Tighten the rim.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..." The sound on the scene was like a volcano erupting instantly. This dunk had an unparalleled effect on boosting morale. Especially in the last minute of the game, the national team players were already very tired. It was important to boost morale at this time. , is really a shot in the arm, giving everyone the motivation to persevere.
With the UAE's goal, the Chinese team's original 4-point lead became 6 points. 6 points is an invincible point difference. The German team needs to chase two three-pointers in a row. Even if the score is equalized, there will be overtime to play. In short, it is impossible for the Chinese team to lose in regular time.
The German team had been forced into a corner, but at this time, Nowitzki actually hit a three-pointer, making the score 58-55. For this goal, the UAE's defense was actually in place, but the opponent was Nowitzki after all, and the signature "Golden Rooster Independence" was really unsolvable.
There were forty seconds left in the game, and both teams had one chance to attack.
Zhang Guan once again attacked with the ball, and other players of the Chinese team still moved to the outside, creating opportunities for Zhang Guan to break through.
The German team's Green came forward again, this time he was more cautious than before.
Zhang Guan on the opposite side also summarized the experience of the last breakthrough, and then made the same breakthrough in the same direction.
"Green can't defend anymore." Nowitzki gave up on the UAE immediately and stepped forward to cover the defense.
Nowitzki rushed past from the side. He raised his arms high. If Zhang Guan went for a layup, he would definitely be blocked. At the same time, Nowitzki also had his body blocking Zhang Guan's sight, making him unable to Pass the ball to the open Ah Lian.
This is Nowitzki, the defense is perfect, preventing you from getting to the layup and having no vision to pass the ball.
Zhang Guan followed Nowitzki and reached the basket. His field of vision was blocked by Nowitzki. He couldn't find the passer and had to force it.
"Not good!" Yunus' heart tightened. Nowitzki had already moved to the defensive position. If Zhang Guan goes for a layup now, Nowitzki will definitely block it.
However, Zhang Guan didn't care so much. He still jumped high and started to lay up.
"Look for the cover! I'll give you a big hot pot!" Nowitzki looked ferocious, waiting for Zhang Guan to raise his hand for a layup.
However, what Nowitzki didn't expect was that Zhang Guan was still holding the basketball. He did not make a layup, and his body was still flying in the air.
"What a strong aerial control ability!" Nowitzki sighed inwardly. Zhang Guan's aerial control ability is probably on par with those "spring men" in the NBA.
The next moment, Zhang Guan rushed to one side of the basket and flew to the other side, then raised his hand.
"Reverse layup! This shot is very difficult! It's unlikely to go in!"
Zhang Guan's counter-attack is beyond the range of Nowitzki's block. Of course, if Nowitzki chooses to foul, he can also force Zhang Guan down, but Nowitzki obviously will not foul Zhang Guan.
Nowitzki could only watch Zhang Guan throw the ball. The basketball flew high and began to fall just above the basket.
"Chi!" The basketball made a sound as it rubbed against the net.
The ball goes in!
"What? I scored! This goal can be scored!" Nowitzki suddenly looked surprised.
