"It's really your fault. You made two free throws. When you made the free throw just now, I was so nervous that my heart was in my throat!" his teammates said to Zhang Guan.
"We're lucky, we all scored, but we haven't won yet. There are still more than thirty seconds left in the game. Facing the American team, anything can happen." Zhang Guan said.
"Yes, we must defend the next ball!" Dayao on the side had a look of determination in his eyes, and he continued: "I don't know how you feel now, but I feel that now is the best time in my life. Brilliant moment! Being able to play like this with Team USA, I’m afraid I’ll never see it again in my life. I don’t want to lose, and I don’t want to leave any regrets!”
"I don't want to leave any regrets!" He said from the side.
"Me too!"
"And I!"
The players of the national team have become more motivated. Even though they are very tired now and even though they have little physical strength left, their spirits are extremely full. They all know that the game has reached the final moment. If they can prevent the next attack of the American team, they will already have one foot in the door of the championship.
When the game started again, Yunas did not hesitate to replace the five best defenders.
The boys of the national team defended this goal very hard. They really used their last strength. They used their bodies that were a whole circle thinner than their opponents to push against them and stuck their positions tightly. With the United States The team fights hand-to-hand. Even if their strength is at a disadvantage, even if their body does not have any advantage, they will not hesitate even if they are attracted by moths.
The American team felt the determination of the Chinese team, but for the American team, they also had reasons why they could not lose.
The difference between the two sides is one point. If the American team scores a two-point goal, it will lead by one point. However, the American team is obviously not satisfied with this. Krzyzewski arranged a three-point goal tactic, and it is also a very complicated one. tactics.
Dribbling, pick-and-roll, trying to break through, passing the ball, the basketball is passed back and forth in the hands of James, Anthony, and Wade. These people all have good three-point shooting abilities, but none of them tried to shoot.
Time passed by second by second, and the 24-second even-read attack time was getting closer and closer, but the American team was still passing the ball calmly and looking for opportunities.
"10! 9! 8! 7..." The audience at the scene began to count down loudly, putting pressure on the American team and encouraging the Chinese team. This sound seemed to remind the Chinese players to hold on for the last few seconds. Bell, you can prevent this ball.
"There are 5 seconds left! Hold on!" Sun Yue stared at Wade hard with his body, not giving him any space to catch the ball.
"Four seconds, come on! We're about to succeed!" Ah Lian almost hugged Anthony with his hands.
"3 seconds! Time passes quickly!" Dayao and Howard were like a pair of wrestlers, fighting hand-to-hand under the basket.
"2!" When the audience shouted this number, James, who was holding the ball, suddenly took off and made a shooting motion.
"It's James! Three-pointer!"
"Keep it!"
Everyone's attention was attracted by James, and at this moment, James flicked his wrist and the ball quickly flew to Kobe's hand on the side.
"1!" The audience shouted the last number of the countdown, and at the same time, Kobe took action.
Three-pointers, fadeaway three-pointers!
The basketball turned into a beautiful arc and accurately fell into the basket. At the moment when the basketball entered the frame, the timer turned to 0!
Obviously, this shot works! And it's a three-pointer.
99 to 97, the US team once again led the score by two points, and the game time was only more than 7 seconds, less than 8 seconds! In this attack, the American team can be said to have run out of time.
"Kobe, it's Kobe! A three-pointer at the buzzer, and it can be regarded as a three-pointer. The missed shot just now caused the US team to fall behind by 1 point, and now he has completed the redemption! A three-pointer , giving the U.S. team another two-point lead. And there is not much time left for the Chinese team!" a European commentator shouted excitedly.
After making this shot, Kobe roared with excitement, and the depression of losing the shot just now was swept away. This shot was obviously more critical than before. As the European commentator said, he completed it. Redemption, he put Team USA on a winning path.
In fact, fans all over the world cheered for this wonderful shot and were excited for this final buzzer-beating three-pointer, except for the Chinese team fans.
The entire audience let out a sigh of disappointment. It was too short-lived. The 1-point lead only lasted for one round. The Chinese team was once hovering on the edge of victory, but Kobe's goal made China The team is getting further and further away from victory.
The two CCTV commentators fell silent at the same time. On that shot just now, the Chinese team played very hard and desperately, but it was a pity that the person was Kobe, an unreasonable Kobe. This kind of fade-away three-pointer at the buzzer is helpless for anyone.
However, the Chinese team still has a chance, and there is still close to 8 seconds. The Chinese team can also arrange an attack. Although 8 seconds is a bit hasty for an attack, it can at least make a tactical cooperation.
The question before the Chinese team is still the old question, two points or three points.
After scoring two points, the two sides were tied, and then entered overtime, which was a new starting line. One side was strong and had a deep bench; the other side was playing at home and full of momentum. The outcome is still unclear.
And if you fight for a three-pointer, although the success rate will be lower, as long as you score, you can win with one hit!
Yunus had already called a timeout immediately after Kobe Bryant scored. At this time, he looked at Dayao and Zhang Guan, hesitating to whom to give the final ball.
"Zhang Guan, come and attack!" Dayao took the lead in giving up the right to attack. He then said: "I will try my best to block Howard and try to create space for you."
"Okay!" Zhang Guan nodded seriously.
…
"The situation is very favorable to us. I think the Chinese team will definitely hesitate now whether to shoot a two-pointer or a three-pointer." Krzyzewski changed his voice and said decisively: "Whether it is a two-pointer or a three-pointer, We all have to defend! Our mission is not to let the Chinese team score! We want to win this game directly instead of playing overtime with the Chinese team!"
Krzyzewski continued: "We must defend this goal with all our strength. I am very confident in your defense. Our opponent, the Chinese team, will definitely give the last opportunity to attack to Dayao or Zhang Guan." . You should be more familiar with Dayao's ability than I am. You should have played against him many times in NBA games. What we have to do is to prevent Dayao from catching the ball. As for Zhang Guan, he has world-class breakthroughs, but Luckily for me, he can't shoot."
Krzyzewski's words stopped here. He had top players in the NBA in front of him, so he naturally knew how to defend a player who could only break through but not shoot. Krzyzewski didn't need to say a word at all. Everyone Just know what to do.
"Okay, boys, come on! In the last 8 seconds, go and get that gold medal back after eight years!"
