Chapter 441 Facing Nowitzki, go further

The head coach of the German team Stowe turned pale instantly, while coach Jonas raised his arms and began to cheer. This goal is really important. Zhang Guan scored two points, and the Chinese team led 56 to 52. The four-point lead is extremely safe for the Chinese team.

More importantly, Zhang Guan also scored 2+1, and then an additional penalty will be implemented. Regardless of whether Zhang Guan's additional penalty can score, the players of the Chinese team can use the free throw preparation time to take a short rest. It is definitely good news for the Chinese team whose physical strength has almost bottomed out.

Taking advantage of the preparation time for the serve, Coach Stowe called Green to his side and arranged the next tactics.

"What happened just now? Since you want to foul, you should be more decisive, and you should be more aggressive when you strike. It is better to let him make two free throws than 2+1." Coach Stowe said very dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry." Green had a bitter feeling that he couldn't express. He was indeed very forceful in the foul just now, but he was completely at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation. Even if he had already pulled Zhang Guan's upper arm, he still couldn't prevent Zhang Guan from scoring a layup.

In terms of strength, Zhang Guan is definitely the top defender, especially Zhang Guan's body has been fully activated, and he has full impact. If it is a muscular black athlete, he may be able to use a deadlift to prevent Zhang Guan from laying up, but Green, who is not the top defender in Europe, obviously cannot do this.

Coach Stowe didn't care about the penalty anymore. He went on to say: "You defended very well in front of the ball just now, but Zhang Guan's ability to change direction continuously is a bit beyond my expectation. He is better than I imagined. So much flexibility."

Green nodded and admitted: "Zhang Guan narrowed the distance with me through continuous changes of direction, and then forced a breakthrough through speed. It was indeed difficult for me to guard against him. I thought that Zhang Guan would not have many matches, but I didn't expect him Choosing this method to attack is undoubtedly to give full play to his speed advantage."

"So we need the defense of the inside players. After you get on the court for a while, tell others that in this situation, you must help defend in advance." Coach Stowe said.

...

On the court, Zhang Guan stood on the free throw line.

At this time, Ah Lian and Zhu Fangyu were preparing to fight for rebounds in the frontcourt. As for Dayao, he had already retreated to the backcourt. After all, Dayao's speed is slow. If he competes for rebounds in the frontcourt, it is easy to be attacked by others, so it is better to prepare defense directly in the backcourt.

I saw that Ah Lian played a trick on Zhu Fangyu, and the other party understood, and immediately made a move to grab a rebound.

All the players in the national team knew that Zhang Guan couldn't shoot, and his free throw skills were terrible, so Ah Lian and Zhu Fangyu made preparations for Zhang Guan not to make free throws.

The German team obviously doesn't know this. The Chinese team's free throws have always given people a more reliable feeling. Even in positions 4 and 5, free throws are still very accurate. So when Zhang Guan stood on the free throw line, Nowitzki was still thinking about how to attack with the next ball.

Nowitzki is the trump card 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 is fined for this goal, 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 Ski was thinking, Zhang Guan behind the free throw line took a deep breath and threw the ball.

"Rebound!" Ah Lian yelled, his reaction was very fast, he stepped forward and got stuck in a good position for rebounding, and Zhu Fangyu also started at the same time, cut to the basket, and squeezed together with Kaman.

"Huh?" Kaman was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect this kind of situation. Normally, teammates should expect to score goals when they make free throws. The performance of Ah Lian and Zhu Fangyu, on the contrary, determined in advance that the goal would not be scored.

The next moment, the ball really bounced out of the frame, and Ah Lian immediately took off, relying on the position that was locked in advance, and firmly grasped the rebound.

"Oops!" Nowitzki yelled in a bad mood. He had been thinking about the next attack, but he was a little distracted, and was blocked by the UAE to grab a good rebound. Moreover, Nowitzki did not expect that Zhang Guan would miss free throws. After all, the Chinese team's previous free throw percentage has always been very good, so Nowitzki preconceived that Zhang Guan would also make free throws. Because of this, Nowitzki's reaction was half a beat slow, and the UAE took the lead.

Ah Lian's own physical fitness is already good, and he has practiced in the NBA for another year. Of course, he will not let go of such a good opportunity. He just got up and dunked with both hands. Fastened the basket.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Morale is really a shot in the arm, giving everyone the motivation to persevere.

With the goal of the United Arab Emirates, the Chinese team's original 4-point lead has become 6 points. 6 points is an invincible point difference. The German team needs to chase two three-pointers in a row. Equalize the score, and 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 cornered, but at this moment, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, making the score 58-55. For this goal, the UAE's defense is actually in place, but the opponent is Nowitzki after all, and the signature "Golden Rooster Independence" is really unsolvable.

With forty seconds left in the game, the two teams each had a chance to attack.

Zhang Guan attacked with the ball again, and the other players of the Chinese team still pulled to the outside, creating opportunities for Zhang Guan to break through.

Green of the German team greeted him again, this time he was more cautious than before.

On the opposite side, Zhang Guan also summed up the experience of the previous breakthrough, and then made another breakthrough in the same direction.

"Green can't defend anymore." Nowitzki immediately gave up the UAE and stepped forward to defend.

Nowitzki rushed past from the side. He raised his arms high. If Zhang Guan layup directly, he would be blocked. At the same time, Nowitzki also blocked Zhang Guan's sight with his body, so that he could not Pass the ball to the open UAE.

This is Nowitzki, the defense is perfect, you can't get to the basket, and you can't pass the ball with no vision.

Zhang Guan stuck to Nowitzki and went to the basket. His vision was blocked by Nowitzki. He couldn't find the passer, so he had to force it.

"It's not good!" Jonas's heart tightened. Nowitzki had already run to the defensive position. If Zhang Guan made a layup now, he would definitely be blocked by Nowitzki.

However, Zhang Guan didn't care so much, he still jumped high and started laying up.

"Looking for Gai! I'll give you a big hot pot!" Nowitzki looked terrified, 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 didn't make a layup, and his body was still flying in the air.

"What a strong ability to control the air!" Nowitzki secretly sighed in his heart. Zhang Guan's ability to control the air is probably comparable to those "spring men" in the NBA.

The next moment, Zhang Guan flew from one side of the basket to the other, and then raised his hand.

"A layup! This ball is very difficult! It's impossible to make it!"

Zhang Guan turned against the blue, which was beyond the scope of Nowitzki's blocking. Of course, if Nowitzki chooses to foul, he can also forcibly pull 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.

"Hey!" There was a sound of friction between the basketball and the net.

Go in!

"What? Scored! This goal can be scored!" Nowitzki suddenly looked surprised.
