Meet Nowitzki in the paint

Germany coach Stowe's face instantly turned pale, while coach Yunas raised his arms and started cheering. This point is really important. Zhang Guan scored two points. The Chinese team was ahead 56 to 52. A four-point lead was extremely safe for the Chinese team.

More importantly, Zhang Guan also scored 2+1, and then an additional foul will be executed. Whether Zhang Guan's additional foul can lead to another point or not, the Chinese team's players can use the free throw preparation time to take a short break. It is good news for the Chinese team, which has almost bottomed out.

Taking advantage of the time to prepare for the free throw, Coach Stowe called Green to his side and arranged the next tactics.

"What the hell was going on just now? Since you are going to foul, you should be more decisive about how you were going to execute it rather give him 2 free-throws than 2+1." Coach Stowe was very dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry." Green felt unspeakable. He was indeed very forceful in the foul just now, but he was completely at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation. Even though he had already pulled Zhang Guan's upper arm, he still couldn't stop the layup.

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

Coach Stowe didn't care about this extra foul anymore. He went on to say, "You defended well in front of the ball just now, but Zhang Guan's ability to change the direction is a little beyond my expectations. He is better than I expected. Too much flexibility."

Green nodded and admitted, "Zhang Guan narrowed the distance between me by continuously changing directions, and then forced a breakthrough through speed. I really can't stop him. I thought Zhang Guan would not have many game experiences, but I didn't expect him to choose this method to attack which is undoubted to give full play to his speed advantage."

"So we need the help of the inside players. After you come to the court, tell other people that in this situation, you must help in advance." Coach Stowe said.

...

On the field, Zhang Guan stood on the free-throw line.

At this time in the frontcourt preparing to fight for rebounds are UAE and Zhu Fangyu, as Yao has already returned to the backcourt. After all, Yao's speed is slow. If he competes for rebounds in the frontcourt, he can easily be attacked by people, so it is better to prepare for defense directly in the backcourt.

He saw that Uzbekistan made a color at Zhu Fangyu, and the other side knew it and immediately made a rebound.

The players in the national team know that Zhang Guan can't shoot, and his free-throw level is also very bad. Therefore, the Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu are prepared to fail to score free throws.

The German team doesn't know this. The free throws of the Chinese team have always given people a more reliable feeling. Even in the fourth and fifth positions, the free throws are still very accurate. So when Zhang Guan was on the free-throw line, Nowitzki was still considering how to launch the offense next ball.

Nowitzki is the German team's trump card and the main offensive point. He knows that at this time of the game, he has to stand up.

"If Zhang Guan is fouled for the ball, 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 run, and then come back to defend one, and there will be another chance to attack." As Nowitzki was thinking, Zhang Guan prepared to shoot.

"Rebounds!" The Yi Jianlian yelled. His reaction was very fast. He stepped forward and got stuck in a good rebounding position. Zhu Fangyu also started at the same time, cutting to the basket, and squeezing Kaman together.

"Huh?" Kaman was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect this situation. Under normal circumstances, for teammates free throws, shouldn't they expect it to go in? The performance of Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, on the contrary, was determined in advance that the basket could not be scored.

The next moment, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Yi Jianlian immediately took off, relying on the pre-carded position to firmly grasp the rebound.

"Oh SHIT!" Nowitzki screamed loudly. He had been thinking about the next offense, but he was a little distracted. Yi Jianlian was the first to get stuck in the rebounding position. And Nowitzki did not expect that Zhang Guan would miss a free throw. After all, the Chinese team's free throw percentage had always been very good, so Nowitzki preconceived that Zhang Guan would also make a free throw. Precisely because of this, Nowitzki's reaction was half a beat slow, and Yi Jianlian took the lead.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is good. After another year of experience in the NBA, he certainly will not let go of such a good opportunity. He just got up and made a two-handed dunk. With a sound, the ball directly buckled the basket tightly.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh..." The sound on the scene instantly resembled a volcanic eruption. This dunk has an unparalleled effect on morale boost, especially since the last minute of the game, the national team players are already very tired, this time boost morale is a booster, giving everyone the motivation to stick to it.

With the basket of Yi Jianlian, the Chinese team's original 4-point lead became 6 points. 6 points is an invincible point difference. The German team needs to chase two three-pointers in a row. to equalize the score, and even if the score is equalized, there will still be overtime to play. In short, the Chinese team can't lose in regular time.

The German team was forced to the corner, but at this time, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, making the score 58 to 55. With this ball, the Yi Jianlian's defense is actually in place, but the opponent is Nowitzki after all, and the signature "Golden Rooster Independence" is unsolvable.

With forty seconds left in the game, both teams still have a chance to attack.

Zhang Guan attacked again with the ball, and other Chinese players still pulled to the outside line, creating a breakthrough opportunity for Zhang Guan.

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

The opposite Zhang Guan also summed up the experience of the previous breakthrough, and then the same change of direction breakthrough.

"Green can't hold it anymore." Nowitzki gave up Yi Jianlian for the first time and stepped forward to make up the defense.

Directly Nowitzki rushed from the side. He raised his arms high. If Zhang Guan lies directly, he will be blocked. At the same time, Nowitzki also has a body that blocks Zhang Guan's sight, making him unable to pass the ball to the open hands of Yi Jianlian.

This is Nowitzki. The defense is perfect. You can't layup or pass the ball without vision.

Zhang Guan was posted to Nowitzki, and he reached the basket. His vision was blocked by Nowitzki. He couldn't find the passer, so he could only go hard.

"Not good!" Yunas's heart tightened. Nowitzki has already gone to the defensive position. If Zhang Guan now lays up, he will be blocked by Nowitzki.

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

"Look for a cover! Give you a big hot pot!" Nowitzki showed a sullen look and waited for Zhang Guan to raise his hand to the basket.

However, what Nowitzki did not expect was that Zhang Guan was still holding the basketball, he did not layup, and his body was still flying in the air.

"What a strong air dominance!" Nowitzki signed secretly in his heart, Zhang Guan's air dominance ability is probably the same as those of the NBA "spring man".

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

"Go up to the basket! The goal is very difficult! It is unlikely to be scored!"

Zhang Guan's anti-blue is beyond the scope of Nowitzki to block. Of course, if Nowitzki chooses to foul, he can also force Zhang Guan down, but Nowitzki will not foul Zhang Guan.

Nowitzki could only watch Zhang Guan throw the ball, and the basketball flew high, just beginning to fall over the hoop.

"Hey!" The basketball and the net made a sound.

Basket COUNTED!

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