There are 1 minute and 05 seconds left in the game, and theoretically, three more offenses can be played. Three attacks are divided between the two teams. Naturally, one team gets two attacks, while the other team can only get one and two. So this jump ball is particularly important.
The Turkish team leads by two points, so if Turkey gets the ball this time, it will have one more offensive right than the Chinese team. This will be a fatal blow to the Chinese team; and if the Chinese team gets the ball, it happens to be There was a chance to tie the two-point gap, and then the two teams each had an attack, which was equivalent to standing on the same starting line.
However, everyone knows that when the referee awarded a jump ball, it was equivalent to awarding the ball to the Turkish team in a different direction. Although Ilyasova's physical talent is average, he is 2.08 meters tall after all, while Zhang Guan's official height is 1.92 meters. There is a 16 centimeter gap between the two sides. This is a decisive advantage in jumping balls.
The first thing that competes in jump ball is height and arm length, followed by jumping ability. As long as you are a big man with normal jumping ability, the possibility of losing to a smaller player in a jump ball is very slim. There are many relatively short springers in the NBA who can easily dunk. They may even be able to win the slam dunk contest, but if they are asked to compete with a center on jumping balls, they may not be able to win even once out of ten times.
The height difference is of course the main reason for this situation, and another reason is the time difference caused by the height difference.
For example, the difference between the two sides of a jumping ball is 10 centimeters. The short person will naturally have to jump 10 centimeters more to be equal to the tall person. However, it takes time for the short person to jump 10 centimeters more. If the acceleration of the two people's jumps is about the same, they will jump 10 centimeters more. Centimeters means it takes more time. In the end, the taller person will reach the highest point first and touch the basketball first.
Now there is 16 centimeters difference between Zhang Guan and Ilyasova. If Zhang Guan wants to beat Ilyasova in jumping ball, he not only needs to jump 16 centimeters higher than Ilyasova, but he also needs to take off earlier. To make up for the time spent on these 16 centimeters.
When Ilyasova and Zhang Guan stood face to face, the height difference immediately became apparent. The audience at the scene couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers. In their opinion, Ilyasova would win a crushing victory.
As for the Chinese team, the veteran players all looked like they were watching the excitement. They were not worried about Zhang Guan at all.
Than a jump ball? The Chinese team's most capable jump ball player, Alian, is no match for Zhang Guan. You must know that Ah Lian is called a "yellow-skinned black man". His physical fitness is comparable to that of black people, almost reaching the limit of yellow people, but even so, he still can't beat Zhang Guan. And this kind of "failure to jump" is simply a failure in reaching the limit.
Ah Lian is 21 centimeters taller than Zhang Guan, but in terms of reaching height, he is not as good as Zhang Guan.
"Ilyasova is going to be unlucky. His height is only 2.08 meters. If he were replaced by American Howard, he might still have a chance, but he is just a European with normal jumping ability. How can he win Zhang Guan with a jump ball? Everyone, get ready Get the ball." Ah Lian said to his teammates.
If Ilyasova could understand Chinese, he would be depressed for a long time. The height of 2.08 meters is considered a relatively perfect height among basketball players, but when it comes to the opponent's mouth, he needs to be described with the word "only".
At this time, Ilyasova still looked confident, and the cheers from the surrounding audience made him immersed in a kind of vain satisfaction.
I saw the referee throwing the ball up, the basketball spinning slightly in the air, and Zhang Guan started to take off first.
"Zhang Guan is not stupid at all. He knows how to make up for the time difference by jumping first, but there is nothing you can do to make up for such a huge height gap! As long as I don't make mistakes, there is no way you can jump over me." Ilyasova's expression also became focused. He raised his head, looking up at the basketball in the air, and then saw the opportunity and jumped high.
In the sky, both hands were stretched straight upward, desperately trying to touch the basketball first.
The rising speed of the basketball gradually slowed down, and then reached its highest point. Ilyasova's hand reached a position where he could touch the ball. He pointed back, preparing to pass the ball to his teammate.
However, when he twisted his knuckles, there was a feeling of nothingness, as if he was grasping the air.
"Where's the ball?" Ilyasova was slightly surprised, but he saw that Zhang Guan had already taken the basketball away, and the tip of his middle finger only reached below the center of Zhang Guan's palm.
The tip of the middle finger is the highest position that Ilyasova can touch, but even this highest position cannot even reach the palm of Zhang Guan's hand. For someone with longer fingers, the fingertip from the middle finger to the palm of the hand can't be reached. The position is almost fifteen or six centimeters. In other words, Ilyasova's original height advantage of 16 centimeters was not used at this time, but Zhang Guan overtook him by 16 centimeters.
"Why is he so tall! He is more than ten centimeters shorter than me, and he is even higher than me! How high can he jump?" Ilyasova's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. everything of.
"Ilyasova lost? How is this possible!"
The players of the Turkish team were also very surprised. They never expected that Ilyasova would lose to Zhang Guan in the jump ball. Because of this, their reaction was slightly slower by half a beat.
The Chinese team was already ready to catch the ball. Suddenly, Arab League stepped forward to grab the ball and successfully won the ball.
"Retreat!" Turkoglu shouted.
"Attack!" As Ah Lian spoke, his body also started to move.
Turkey retreated very quickly. The ball was not in Zhang Guan's hands, and the Chinese team was unable to form a fast break. Therefore, after bringing the ball across half court, they had to switch to a positional attack. The Turkish side obviously realized that Zhang Guan would become the main point of attack. Turkoglu came to Zhang Guan's side and took the initiative to assume the important task of defending Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan will definitely be able to break through with the ball. He only has this kind of offensive method! And today, the referee is biased towards us, and maybe he can get an offensive foul." Thinking of this, Turkoglu deliberately talked to Zhang Guan kept a step away to prevent Zhang Guan from passing by in one step.
The referee next to him also stared at Zhang Guan with wide eyes, as if waiting to grab Zhang Guan's pigtails.
The next second, Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated and rushed into the three-second zone while changing direction, trying to avoid Turkoglu.
Turkoglu took a sharp step back, and then ran in the direction of Zhang Guan's movement. He was obviously preparing to use eye-catching defense to stop Zhang Guan.
"Haha, let's hit him! Let's see who the referee will help!" Turkoglu thought to himself. He was already prepared. As soon as Zhang Guanyi touched him, he would fall to the ground with a "sticky clothes" .
However, what Turkoglu didn't expect was that Zhang Guan suddenly stopped and then jumped up.
"What is Zhang Guan going to do? Make a jump shot!" Turkoglu never expected that Zhang Guan would use a jump shot to complete this attack.
In this World Championship, all Zhang Guan's offense came from breakthroughs, breakthrough points, breakthrough layups, and breakthrough dunks. Although there are also very ornamental scoring methods such as reverse layups, pull rods, and windmills. But it still cannot be separated from the essence of breakthrough.
Zhang Guan's only shot came from the Olympic finals two years ago, the shot that beat the United States team. But a shot obviously cannot be regarded as statistics, so in Zhang Guan's statistics, all his points come from Because of this, the whole world feels that Zhang Guan can only achieve breakthroughs.
And people don't find this strange. Breakthroughs are originally an offensive method that players with abnormal bodies like to use. In terms of physical talent and abnormality, who can compare to Zhang Guan? Moreover, Zhang Guan is not a professional basketball player, so it is normal that he cannot shoot.
This kind of inertial thinking kept Turkoglu on guard against Zhang Guan's breakthrough. He even deliberately distanced himself from Zhang Guan. However, what he didn't expect was that at the most critical moment of the game, Zhang Guan failed to break through. Choose a pull-up jump shot. The distance that Turkoglu had deliberately set before ended up with Zhang Guan's open shot.
"Emergency jump shot!" Turkoglu opened his mouth in surprise. He watched as he jumped up, swung his arms, and completed the shot. At this moment, a word flashed in his mind - picturesque!
…
"What a beautiful shooting posture! Perfect! It's simply picturesque!" Coach Bogdan looked at Zhang Guan. At this time, he even wished that time would freeze so that he could carefully appreciate this beautiful shooting posture.
The lines of the muscles created the silhouette of the athlete, and the elegant movements made this shot more like an artist's work. Zhang Guan's shot was simply impeccable. Even the Turkish spectators at the scene had some comments about it. There was a sound of exclamation.
Zhang Guan comes from Kobe’s experience book, allowing him to make equally beautiful shots, and his physical fitness is better than Kobe’s, and he can complete more difficult and intense actions, so Zhang Guan’s shooting is definitely The most beautiful shot in the world.
The basketball turned into a perfect arc in the air. Although the ball has not yet fallen into the frame, almost everyone has realized that the goal must have been scored! Such a perfect shooting action, and it was an open shot, how could he not score.
And when the basketball fell into the basket, the same thought flashed in everyone's mind: the ball really went in!
…
"Could Zhang Guan know how to shoot?" Turkoglu suddenly realized this, and then he shook his head: "It's impossible. If Zhang Guan can shoot, he would have used it in previous games. Why do he keep trying to break through."
However, when Turkoglu thought of Zhang Guan's shooting posture, he immediately became at a loss.
"Such a beautiful shooting posture reminds me of Kobe. No, it's even more beautiful than Kobe's shooting! If Zhang Guan couldn't shoot, how could he have such a beautiful shooting posture?"
As a pitcher, Turkoglu certainly knows that beautiful shooting posture is not something you are born with, but can be obtained after hard work. When it comes to shooting, people with relatively high talent can still make it even if they have little practice. However, if you want to shoot well, talent alone cannot do it. You must practice. Whether it is Jordan or Kobe, they can make beautiful shots because of countless practices.
"That's a shooting posture that can only be acquired after a lot of practice. This shows that Zhang Guan has worked hard on shooting practice. So Zhang Guan can really shoot!"
…
The unfair calls made many times before made Zhang Guan realize that the referee was obviously preparing to push Turkey into the semi-finals. Zhang Guan doesn't know what kind of price Turkey has paid to allow the referee to blow the "black whistle" so shamelessly, but one thing Zhang Guan is sure of is that he cannot continue to break through. The physical contact caused after the breakthrough is too easy to be The referee called an offensive foul.
So Zhang Guan chose a jump shot, a way of scoring without physical contact at all: jump shot.
…
The score was equalized again, and the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn. In the remaining game time, both sides had one chance to attack. In other words, Turkey had to score the next goal if it wanted to end the battle within regular time.
Coach Bogdan called a long timeout and arranged the offensive tactics for the next goal. Coach Denghuade also arranged defensive tactics. After the timeout, the two sides began the final showdown.
Zhang Guan faced off against Turkoglu, and the Arab League faced off against Ilyasova, and they generally withstood Asik. However, surprisingly, the executor of the Turkish team's attack was not Turkoglu. , not Ilyasova, not Asik, but Tongcheri!
Kerem Tuncheri, Turkey's first point guard, made a successful breakthrough and once again gave the Turkish team a two-point lead.
Deng Huade shook his head angrily. His defensive tactics mainly focused on guarding against Turkoglu and Ilyasova, while preventing Asik from catching the ball under the basket. However, he ignored Toncheri. It can be said that in this offense and defense, Deng Huade was tricked by Bogdan at the tactical level.
Tactics are originally Deng Huade's end goal, and "playing chicken blood" is his strength. Therefore, at the final critical moment, when competing for the last ball or the last two goals, tactical arrangements are needed at this time, and Deng Huade becomes Became a "weak chicken".
…
There is still enough time for the Chinese team to launch an attack.
Deng Huade called a timeout, then took the tactical board and looked at a loss.
He had not thought about how to complete this final attack at all. Until the players gathered around, Deng Huade was still hesitating whether to play it safe and score two points and then play overtime, or to give it a try. Shoot a three-pointer.
"This, we, um..." Deng Huade kept tapping his pen on the tactical board, but he didn't know what to say.
The translator next to him was also confused. The coach didn't speak there, and he could only stare at the players.
"What should I do? The timeout is almost over, and I haven't thought of the tactics yet!" Deng Huade suddenly remembered coach Van Gundy Jr., who often carried some notes in his trouser pockets. When he couldn't think of tactics, he would take the notes out of his pockets. Take it out and take a look. Deng Huade had laughed at Van Gundy Jr.'s approach before, but now he feels that Van Gundy Jr.'s approach was extremely wise.
Finally, Deng Huade remembered something, the Chinese team's heavy attack tactics. He hesitated for a moment, put down the tactical board, and then said:
"Let's give the ball to Zhang Guan!"
I finally got home and ran to Chengdu Airport at around six o'clock in the morning. After taking the plane, I took the bus, and then I took the bus and the train. I was exhausted. No way, there is no direct connection to my place from Chengdu today. I didn't eat anything after I got home, so I coded immediately, but I finally coded out this chapter. Please give me a monthly pass to cheer me up.
