Zhang Guan relied on his body to forcibly break through Fernandes and also surprised Spanish coach Renesse.
"Not only the speed but also the body. I didn't expect Zhang Guan to choose to use his body to force a breakthrough. He doesn't look so strong, and his height is not as good as Fernandes, but the physical confrontation is even stronger than Fernandes!"
Renesse frowned. This time he failed to win. The situation was already very unfavorable for Spain. Zhang Guan has advanced to the three-point line. He can completely stop dribbling there and wait for 24 seconds to run out, or throw at the end of 24 seconds so that the ball in the air and the rebound time will consume the last two seconds, and the Spanish team will lose the last chance to attack.
"No, you have to foul ahead, and let Zhang shoot the free throw, then we still have a chance." Renesse had just instructed the players to use foul tactics, but Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated and wanted to rush to the basket.
...
"Zhang Guan, forcible breakthrough, okay, rushed past!" Director Zhang relieved with a sigh of relief, and then he said, "Hold on, don't worry, just run out of time, it takes 24 seconds, we have hope to win!"
Announcer Zhang's words have just fallen, and Zhang Guan has launched a breakthrough to hold the ball.
Zhang Guan did not plan to spend the 24 seconds, he decided to make a layup.
"Oh, how did you breakthrough, don't worry!" Announcer Zhang said regretfully.
Zhang Guan accelerated towards the basket, and at this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of Zhang Guan.
This man is Gasol. He has been paying attention to Zhang Guan's movements. When Zhang Guan successfully broke through Fernandes, Gasol was ready to step forward to defend. However, he has been brought to the edge of the three-point line, and then there must be a certain distance to the rim, so he cannot stand on the rim and can only interfere with Zhang Guan from the side.
"Fortunately, there is Gasol, otherwise Zhang Guan would have easily made the basket." Coach Renesse took a breath.
At this time, Zhang Guan also found that it was Gasol who prevented himself from making a layup.
"It's worthy of being Gasol. Other people may be waiting for me to slowly dribble the ball to consume 24 seconds of attack time, but only Gasol realized that I want to attack directly. I used to hear people say that Gasol played softly, I don't know if it's true, maybe I can try it." Zhang Guan thought of this and jumped up.
"Oh, Zhang Guan jumped. He jumped so high!"
"What is he going to do?"
"This is a dunk!"
"Dunk against Gasol? Oh my god!"
Everyone in the auditorium stretched their necks, and on the court, the athletes watched the basket, including Gasol himself, all surprised by Zhang Guan's move.
After all, Gasol is a 2.13-meter inside big man. Although he is a power forward, he does not lose at the center position; Zhang Guan is a rookie guard. There is a gap of 20 centimeters between the two. Zhang Guan even wants to welcome him. Gasol dunks.
In the next moment, the two of them touched each other. One was a center and a point guard. The physical confrontation between the two should be no suspense. Some audiences even felt that Zhang Guan would be knocked off in the next moment. The small audience even closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look straight.
"Wow!" This voice echoed on the court, this is the sound of basketball and basketball contact.
"Basket scored! Zhang Guan dunked! Zhang Guan scored against Gasol!"
At this moment, the sound of mountains and tsunami spread all over the stadium.
"Did you see it, Zhang Guan's dunk! Zhang Guan welcomed Gasol with a dunk!"
"It's amazing, Zhang Guan's front hard steel Gasol! Too strong!"
"Zhang Guan looks good, it's beautiful, it's bloody!"
"What a tough dunk! Zhang Guan dunks on Gasol!"
Zhang Guan's dunk instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. This ball is boosting morale. The game has reached the last moment. The physical strength of the Chinese players is close to the limit. At this time, this dunk, It is undoubtedly a stimulant, so that they temporarily forget the fatigue.
The score is 76-72. The Chinese team still has a 4-point lead. With 20 seconds left before the end of the game, the Spanish team still has a chance. At this time, Spanish coach Renesse called a timeout and arranged to receive new tactics.
Zhang Guan recalled the basket just now, he found that Gasol was indeed a bit soft in the style of the game, Gasol was very careful when interfering with his layup, apparently deliberately avoiding fouls, and when Gasol found out that he wanted to dunk, he wasn't tough and decisive enough. Instead, he dunked the ball in front of him.
Gasol Jr. stepped forward to comfort his brother, and Gasol grinned at his brother, "I'm fine, but I finally understand why Fernandez was forced by Zhang Guan to break through with his body. Zhang Guan's body is very strong, he has plenty of strength, and he should be heavier than he looks. And he is very decisive and dares to fight. Fernandes must not be able to stop him, even in NBA, among the defenders, there are not many who can block Zhang Guan. If you meet him, be careful."
...
It is still 4 points, which is an embarrassing difference for Spain. The Spanish team still needs at least two offenses to pull back the score. However, there are still 20 seconds left until the end of the game, which means that even if Spain scores the next goal, they must foul the other team immediately. At the same time, the Spanish team also faced a choice, whether to shoot a two-pointer or a three-pointer.
If the Spanish team chooses a two-pointer and fouls after scoring, the Chinese team makes a free throw. If they make all two free throws, it will still be a four-point difference. Only if the Chinese team makes one or two free throws, the two-point goal is considered to be earned.
If a three-pointer is thrown, the foul will be scored after the goal. The Chinese team makes a free throw. If two free throws are made, the difference is three points. Spain can make another three-pointer and enter overtime. Spain is facing a two-point or one-point difference and will immediately change from passive to active.
For the Chinese team, there is no doubt that two points will be missed and three points will be defensive. You want to take two points, but you can't shoot three points. Another important point is to be careful not to foul.
The game started again. The Spanish team decisively chose a fast two-pointer. After several consecutive transmissions, Fernandes broke into the layup and scored a layup. However, this attack also took the Spanish team 9 seconds. There are 11 seconds left before the game ends.
Next, the Chinese team played the ball, and the Spanish team chose to press the whole game, but Zhang Guan threw Rubio away with the speed, successfully received the ball, and then ran in the direction of no one. At Zhang Guan's speed, he was running to the corner, and when there was nowhere to move, he stopped to control the ball.
Although Rubio immediately stepped forward to foul, when the referee's whistle sounded, three seconds passed and there were 8 seconds left before the game.
However, this foul is the fourth foul of the Spanish team in this game. The fouls are not enough. The Spanish team still has to wait for the next foul before the Chinese team can make a free throw.
The ball is still in the hands of the Chinese team, and the winning balance has begun to lean towards the Chinese team...
