Deng Huade stood on the sidelines, and he could feel that there was a clear difference in the morale of both sides. The morale of the American team is high, and their bench is also talking and laughing; but the players of the Chinese team are like lost dogs, and the atmosphere on the bench is full of depression and gloom.
Deng Huade felt that he could not do nothing, at least he should encourage his team members. Although he is several levels behind Krzyzewski in terms of tactical adjustments, when it comes to boosting morale, Deng Huade is definitely world-class.
Deng Huade clapped his hands and said to the players on the bench: "Why are you so frustrated? Do you think losing to the American team is a shameful thing? The whole world lost to the American team, we lost Isn’t that a normal thing?”
The players on the bench of the Chinese team raised their heads one after another. After Deng Huade reminded them, everyone suddenly felt that it was the same. Everyone knew how strong the basketball level of the United States was. Teams from other countries in the world were not. As an opponent of the American team, it is only natural that he loses to the American team.
"Coach, I don't think it would be embarrassing to lose. I just feel a little uncomfortable and unwilling!" Zhou Peng said.
"Can unwillingness change the result of losing?" Deng Huade asked rhetorically. He paused and then said: "You are all still very young and have a bright future. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, why don't you think about it? How to play well when you get on the court!"
Deng Huade pointed to the court and continued: "The whole world is paying attention to this game, especially the Americans. They are also paying attention to the performance of the Dream Nine Team. What I am sure is that there are many NBA team owners and players. Team managers, team coaches and scouts are watching this game, you should know what this means, right?"
Deng Huade's words shocked many young players. For these young people, entering the NBA is an unattainable dream. They are eager to enter the NBA and play, even if they are sitting at the end of the bench watching the water dispenser waving towels, but they don't even have a stepping stone. Unless they can perform as well as Yao Yi, they will not attract the attention of the NBA.
But today's game can be seen as an opportunity and a stepping stone. As long as you can perform well, you may be valued by NBA teams and have a chance to enter the NBA, even if it is only a one percent chance. Sex, even if they only get a chance to train, it is still worth fighting for for these young people.
In comparison, the older players would not have such thoughts. Is it so easy to get into the NBA? But several young players were obviously bewitched by Deng Huade, the American coach, and they all became eager to try. Their morale was low just now. In the blink of an eye, they were like little calves who only saw red underpants and wanted to rush. Go up and arch hard.
Seeing the change in the players' expressions, Deng Huade let out a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the field and happened to see a familiar figure from behind.
"Beautiful, this shot is really beautiful!"
…
"Three-pointer, scored! Zhang Guan made another three-pointer, closing the gap to two points!" the commentator shouted.
Westbrook pouted in dissatisfaction: "It seems that Zhang Guan hasn't given up yet! Then let us beat you until you give up!"
Thinking of this, Westbrook and Rose exchanged glances.
"Westbrook broke through, beautiful, scored two points!"
Westbrook was smiling after scoring, and the Chinese team’s defense
The U.S. team puts both Rose and Westbrook on the court, and Zhang Guan can only guard one of them, which allows the other to easily break through and score.
"Westbrook is so strong! As soon as he made contact, he was pushed away, and then he faced the defensive player for a layup without any change in his posture. Except for Zhang Guan, no one of our backcourt players can really Just let him go!" Deng Huade stood there, looking a little confused.
However, more than ten seconds later, Zhang Guan fought back with a pull-up jumper.
"In!" Deng Huade, who had been sighing for Westbrook just now, waved his fists excitedly.
…
"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan ran back without even looking after shooting.
"Whoa!" The basketball hit the net.
"Another three-pointer! Zhang Guan scored three consecutive three-pointers! 50 to 51, the US team is only leading by 1 point! I think Coach K should call a timeout now!" While the commentator was speaking, The camera focused on Krzyzewski sitting on the bench.
Krzyzewski still looked calm and composed.
"Shoot, shoot, I'm not afraid of you shooting. Anyway, you can't always maintain such a high shooting percentage. It's impossible to win by just shooting." Krzyzewski thought silently.
It is a consensus in the basketball world that shooting cannot kill anyone, and Krzyzewski also quite agrees with this. Of course, this recognition is based on facts. Before the future Warriors team appeared, almost all basketball coaches felt that the game could not be won by shooting alone. And when the Warriors really relied on shooting to win the championship, countless basketball experts realized that shooting can really kill people.
Zhang Guan made three consecutive three-pointers, which proved that he was hot, but Krzyzewski did not call a timeout.
Perhaps due to the influence of Zhang Guan, Westbrook played the ball a little impatiently. He was roughly disturbed on the way to the layup. The ball circled around the basket twice and then missed.
"Return to defense!" Durant shouted and ran towards the backcourt first.
The U.S. team's speed advantage came into play at this time. Even Love, who had just been standing under the basket fighting for rebounds, ran back quickly at this time.
The young man's advantage is that he runs fast. As soon as he passes the ball to Zhang Guan, the American team on the opposite side has already set up a defensive line.
"There is no chance for a fast break!" Zhang Guan quickly stabilized, and then shouted to his teammates: "Take your time, don't be anxious, score this goal, and we will overtake!"
The U.S. team's defense is very oppressive. Except for Zhang Guan, no matter who else gets the ball, the U.S. team players will stick closely to them and engage in close physical confrontation. The physical talent of the Chinese team is not comparable to that of the talented young men of the US team. They basically stop as soon as they get the ball and are completely unable to engage in sports battles.
Fortunately, Zhang Guan was there. When Zhang Guan was holding the ball, the U.S. team still didn't dare to get too close. They were still very afraid of Zhang Guan's breakthrough, for fear of being accelerated by Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan, vote again! Oops, it missed!"
A smile appeared on Krzyzewski's face.
"I've known for a long time that there will be times when the shooting percentage drops! You can't make every shot."
Under the basket, several inside players crowded together to grab the rebound, but the rebound eventually fell into Love's hands.
Love threw the ball forward without hesitation. This is Love's unique skill. After grabbing the rebound, he directly throws the ball forward. His assists basically rely on this trick.
The American team has also become accustomed to Love's move. Rose has already started and ran towards the frontcourt. Zhang Guan followed closely behind.
"Zhang Guan? You returned to defense very quickly! It's a pity that you are too late!" Rose stretched out his hand to catch the ball.
At this moment, Zhang Guan jumped up fiercely and put the ball directly in the air.
"It was actually copied by Zhang Guan!" Rose was surprised for a while, and what surprised him even more was that after Zhang Guan landed, he almost didn't stop and dribbled the ball in the opposite direction.
"What? This is impossible! How did he do it! This is not an action that humans can complete!" Ross was shocked.
However, Rose couldn't do this and suddenly ran in the opposite direction.
In a five-on-four frontcourt, Zhang Guan successfully scored the goal with a throw.
"52 to 51, overtake! I read that right! The Chinese team actually overtook!"
