Chapter 790 The Last Attack

Krzyzewski looked a little surprised. The shooting position just now was already two meters away from the three-point line. Even according to the NBA's three-point line standard, it was still one meter away from the three-point line. It was a long-distance shot. three-pointer.

"I didn't expect Zhang Guan's shooting range to be so far, and for the three-pointer just now, his shooting action was not forced at all, and he seemed to be able to do it with ease! I think this may not be his limit, he should have a super shot The ability of long-distance three-pointers. I didn't expect that I would underestimate him." Krzyzewski thought silently.

Next to him, the assistant coach said, "Coach, Zhang Guan seems to have a pretty good touch. Do you want to call a timeout to let his feel cool down?"

"No, there is still a six-point difference, and the ball is in our hands. As long as we can keep scoring, there is no need to worry." Krzyzewski said firmly.

While Krzyzewski was speaking, the ball passed to Durant. Durant turned around and hit a jumper, making the score 86-78.

Zhang Guan still quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this time he chose a farther shooting point, and stopped two and a half meters away from the three-point line, which was half a meter farther than before.

"Another long-distance three-pointer? Farther than just now? This is too hard!" Rose was a little stunned, which made his defense a little slower. Zhang Guan even had time to take a look and then shot.

"Again! Zhang Guan scored 9 points in practice, and now the Chinese team is only five points behind 81 to 86! Is the situation going to be reversed? Now the Chinese team only needs to successfully defend the next time, and it is possible to catch up with the score Within one goal! Unexpectedly, at the last moment of the game, suspense appeared again!" The commentator said.

Krzyzewski still didn't call a timeout, convinced he couldn't win by shooting alone.

The US team chose to push forward again, and the players kept running back and forth, making it difficult for the Chinese team to keep up with the rhythm. In the end, it was Durant who made a jump shot.

"Be careful Zhang Guan!" Durant yelled at Rose while returning to defense, but as soon as his voice fell, Zhang Guan made another long-range three-pointer.

88 to 84, the Chinese team caught up to four points behind, and there were less than two minutes left before the end of the game.

However, this time, Zhang Guan did not return to defense immediately after the shot, but went towards Westbrook. He knew that the US team would definitely choose to advance quickly, so he directly stepped forward to delay Westbrook's advance speed.

Odom stepped forward to respond and passed the ball to Durant. Durant did not shoot, but gave the ball to Westbrook again.

Westbrook tried to break through, had no chance, and passed the ball to Rose. Chandler stepped forward to pick and roll, Rose broke through for a layup after the pick and roll, and was pulled down by the UAE with a foul.

And when people didn't expect, Rose missed two free throws at this critical moment!

Rose's free throw percentage was only 76.6% last season, which is obviously unqualified for a guard. This hit rate is reflected in actual combat, which is equivalent to four free throws and three hits. Missing two free throws in a row is really a rare situation for Rose.

After Ah Lian grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Zhang Guan immediately. Zhang Guan didn't miss this opportunity, and quickly pushed forward, rushing directly to the direction of Rose's defense.

Rose is still annoyed by the situation of missing two free throws just now. Missing two free throws is equivalent to contributing a mistake, and it is a mistake at such a critical moment, so Rose is a little eager to make up for it at this time, and his mind is not as good as before. He was so calm that he was accidentally shaken by Zhang Guan.

"Be careful, that's a fake move!" Billups shouted from the field, but it was too late.

Zhang Guan rubbed against Rose, found a foul, and then shot.

Make another three-pointer!

"Three plus one! Rose didn't stop Zhang Guan's shot, but paid for a foul and sent Zhang Guan to the free throw line! The Chinese team has a chance to tie the score..." The commentator held his breath and stared at the court.

"Oh, an extra penalty was scored, and the game was tied at 88. My God, there was a little more than a minute left in the game. I didn't expect the Chinese team to even the score at this time. It's really hard to say now, who will win Victory! Oh! The old coach K requested a timeout, it seems that he can't sit still!"

...

"The American team called a timeout!" Zhang Guan let out a long breath.

The players of the Chinese team clapped their hands to celebrate, and the players who played just now couldn’t wait to sit on the chairs and let themselves rest as much as possible, especially Ah Lian and Sun Yue. He drank half of the bottle in one breath, and then poured the rest of the water on his head.

So far in the game, they are really too tired. If they hadn't participated in the few offenses just now, they might not even be able to run when defending.

The playing time of both of them is close to 35 minutes. Ordinarily, this is not a very long time, especially for the UAE, it is normal to play more than 30 minutes. It is said that playing 35 minutes will not make you tired like this. In the NBA, there are many iron men who play 40 minutes a game.

The total playing time is completely different from the continuous playing time. For example, if a player plays 32 minutes in a game, if he plays eight minutes in each quarter, he will definitely not look very tired when the game is over. But if a player is allowed to rest for a period of time, and then play for 32 consecutive minutes, even if the intermission is counted, the body will not be able to hold it. Fortunately, the first 10 minutes, after 10 minutes, if there is no rest, the physical strength will drop rapidly, and after 20 minutes, the decline in physical strength will be very large. Already overwhelmed.

When a player feels tired, the rest time does not need to be too long. Three minutes is enough. Three minutes of game time, plus the dead ball time, foul time, free throw time, and timeout time, can really be used for rest time. It can reach almost five minutes. For professional players, five minutes of rest is enough.

It's just that the current Chinese team can't even take a three-minute break. They can only keep a few main players on the court. And this suspension of the US team is also like a life-saving straw for the Chinese team, giving them a chance to breathe.

...

"Zhang Guan, you are amazing! You made five of five three-pointers, and there was a three-plus-one. The US team led by 11 points just now. I thought we must be doomed. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, we caught up Already!"

"Yeah, Zhang Guan, you scored 48 points for that shot just now, and you scored more points than the rest of us!"

Zhang Guan nodded with a smile, but he was secretly relieved.

The few precise shots just now were the result of Zhang Guan using the status potion. For a 100-level Zhang Guan, he is already in the category of super-level performance. Any pitcher, when he is super-level, can make five of five three-pointers, and even McGrady's 35 seconds 13 A magical moment.

However, this state cannot be sustained. The decline in physical strength and the consumption of the state after the timeout, Zhang Guan has just filled up to 100 state, after such a cooling off on the bench, it has dropped to 88, and now he has I can't hit every shot like I did just now.

...

The sound of his girlfriend's snoring reached Xiao Li's ears, and he tossed and turned, making it even more difficult to fall asleep.

"I can't sleep, I can't sleep at all!" Xiao Li picked up his phone, looked at the time, and thought to himself: "At this time, the game is almost over, I don't know how many points we lost."

He hesitated for a moment, got up from the bed, went to the living room and turned on the TV.

"Let's take a look. Even if the competition is over, isn't it still the awards ceremony! The Chinese team won the runner-up anyway, so it's okay to watch the awards ceremony."

Xiao Li was thinking about it, and the TV screen became clear.

"Huh? It looks like the game isn't over yet. Is this a timeout? What's the score now?"

As soon as the TV screen turned, the scores of the two sides appeared below.

"What? 88 vs. 88? A tie? I read that right! It's a tie? There's no Dayao, and they can still draw with the US team? There's still one minute left, and now they're tied, maybe they can win in the end!" Xiao Xiao Li immediately perked up.

...

CCTV, the director of the sports channel is leaning on a chair, drowsy.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and then a person cautiously put his head in and looked around.

"Director?" the man asked tentatively.

"Come in." The director sat up straight, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, picked up the cold coffee at the table, and took a sip. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"The ratings are back, and they've surpassed 1.5%!"

"Oh?" The director looked at the wall clock on the wall, and then said: "It's this time, and there are still so many people watching the game? And the ratings have rebounded. Is it time for the awards ceremony?"

"No, the game is not over yet, there is still the last minute left! Now the score between the two sides is 88."

"One more minute? Still a tie? How is this possible? Doesn't it mean that after Dayao retired from injury, we have already lost?" The director stood up abruptly and took over the ratings report.

"It's Zhang Guan. He scored 48 points alone! Our entire Chinese team only scored 88 points. He scored more points than all the others combined!"

...

Durant's expression seemed a little unnatural. He scored 38 points in the last game, which had already caused a sensation in the entire World Championships. Originally, Durant thought that this would be the highest score in this World Championships, and it was impossible for anyone to surpass it Unexpectedly, Zhang Guan scored 16 points in just a few minutes, and his personal score also came to an astonishing 48 points.

"If Zhang Guan scores another goal, he will break the 50-point mark. I really didn't expect his scoring ability to be so strong, especially the three-pointer just now, which is really scary. Today I count I have seen that there are people outside the sky and people outside the sky, and after I go back, I must practice three-pointers hard!" Durant secretly made up his mind.

At the same time, the competitive spirit in Durant's heart was uncontrollably released.

Although there is only the last minute left, the US team did not delay the time. As long as the tactics are to run out, even if there are more than ten seconds left in the attack time, the US team will score without hesitation. They have a strong defense against themselves. confidence.

Breakthrough, emergency stop, jump shot, goal, Durant's straightforward scoring methods made it difficult for the Chinese team's defensive players to deal with. Players in the same position in the Chinese team are not as tall as Durant, not as fast as Durant, not as good as Durant in terms of physical fitness, and not as good as Durant in terms of experience. This gap is reflected in the defense. Can't help it.

Durant scored very easily this time, and the score became 90-88, with the US team leading.

"Be careful of Zhang Guan's three-pointer!" Durant said while returning to defense.

Zhang Guan repeated his old trick, quickly dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, and when he was still far from the three-point line, he suddenly gave up.

"It's still the same trick!" Rose rushed forward with a lunge. At the same time, Westbrook's figure not far away flashed and rushed past the defense. This time, the US team's defense came prepared.

However, this time, Zhang Guan didn't shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, and immediately rushed forward after a pause. I saw Zhang Guan flashed past Rose in a change of direction, and rushed into the three-point line before Westbrook came over.

"It's not a three-pointer! Oops, I was tricked!" The players of the US team were taken aback. They thought that Zhang Guan would still make a sudden stop to shoot a three-pointer. Chandler even started to face the basket and was about to grab a rebound. Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Guan chose another scoring method.

Rose has been left behind by Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan rushed all the way to the free throw line, jumped up and shot.

The jump shot facing the basket at the free throw line is not very difficult. Even a junior high school student can maintain a certain shooting rate in this position, let alone an unguarded space. This is a must for professional defenders. If the goal is scored, if the position is unmarked and the shot cannot be scored, it can almost be regarded as a mistake.

The basketball crashed into the basket, and the score between the two sides was tied again.

"50 points, Zhang Guan got 50 points!" The commentator shouted excitedly. Whether it is in the NBA or the World Championships, scoring 50 points in a single game is very rare, enough to occupy the headlines of tomorrow's basketball news.

Krzyzewski decisively called a timeout and arranged tactics.

"There are still 29 seconds. The US team's attack should take 24 seconds! In this case, we still have at least five seconds, maybe six seconds. It takes two seconds to dribble to the frontcourt, and the remaining four seconds Time is enough for a shot after a pick-and-roll. At least I don’t know what tactic the US team will choose this time, is it two points or three points?” Deng Huade calculated silently in his heart.

"Put two points to defend against three points." Zhang Guan said to his teammates. In fact, even if Zhang Guan didn't speak, his teammates knew what to do now. The game reached the final stage, and there were 29 seconds left. It would be great if he could defend the next goal. If he couldn't, it would definitely be a priority. Choose to defend the 3-pointer.

The game started again, and the US team made substitutions. Rose and Westbrook went off at the same time, and Billups and Gordon were replaced. 39% of the three-pointers. Compared with Rose and Westbrook, these two people's three-pointers are obviously much more reliable. As for Curry, although he has a 43% three-point shooting percentage, after all, he didn't play the whole game. Maybe he felt cold, so Krzyzewski didn't let him play.

The two players on the front line are Durant and Granger. As a core player, Durant must stay on the court, and Granger has nearly 40% three-pointers. Although his three-point shooting level has declined, it is still much more accurate than Odom, Gay and Iguodala.

At the center position, Love replaced Chandler. Although Love's height is not dominant, Krzyzewski still values ​​​​his ability on the offensive end.

The original five people on the field, except for Durant, the other four have changed, and the US team also started their last attack.
