Chapter 505 The Chinese version of Booker
"Do you want to lose this game? Are you going to lose to the Chinese team? You try your best to come here to play like this?!" Parker shouted loudly at his teammates on the bench of the French team.↑,.
The French team members unconsciously lowered their heads. Even now, they have not yet reacted. How could the 18-point difference turn into 3 points in the blink of an eye?
Parker grabbed the towel and threw it on the ground, then sat back on the bench angrily.
He yelled at his teammates, more about his performance. He was also on the court when the team was chased continuously, but the 34-year-old basketball player is almost at the end of his career, and he wishes he was a few years younger.
"Tony, don't blame yourself too much." At this moment, Dior came over to comfort him and said.
Parker glanced at Dior and said meaningfully: "Boris, this is our last Olympics."
Dior was stunned, and after a while, he said firmly: "Tony, we will win, we will definitely win."
"beep!"
After Dior finished saying this, the time for the sidelines was up and the players from both sides returned to the court.
In the French team's offense, Parker asked Dior to do pick-and-roll, but Yi Jianlian and Tang Shuai were completely in place in defense, and there was no chance of pick-and-roll.
Parker wanted to break through hard, but Tang Shuai insisted on him and refused to give him a chance. After finally passing by, Zhai Xiaochuan's assisted defense almost stole the ball in his hand.
After all, Parker is no longer the "French sports car" at his peak, and he finally jumped out of the basket with bumpy moves.
Seeing that the French team's offense was about to return in vain again, Dior suddenly threw away Zhou Qi with a mission, and then grabbed the rebound, and then pressed the ball into the basket with the danger of being blocked by Zhou Qi.
The ball was very tough, and the French fans on the sidelines made a burst of excited cheers.
After scoring the goal, Dior turned around and slapped Parker hard, and said firmly: "I said we will win!"
As the golden partner of the French team, Parker and Dior can be said to have taken on too much, but their results in the Olympics have always been unsatisfactory. As Parker said, this is their last Olympics and their last chance.
The charm of competitive sports lies in that better performance can force stronger opponents, while stronger opponents will give rise to stronger performances for players. This is a virtuous cycle.
Dior's tough performance made the French team's morale battle, but the Chinese team was also not at a disadvantage.
Tang Shuai took the ball to the frontcourt, took advantage of a pick-and-roll to break through, and then he stopped and pulled out.
Batum rushed up and called Tang Shuai directly. It would not make Tang Shuai succeed even if the foul was done.
Generally speaking, when players see such a big foul action, they will subconsciously hide. After all, they are coming to the face, and then being slapped is like being slapped.
But Tang Shuai was not afraid at this moment and took action directly against the defense.
"Bang!"
Batum slapped Tang Shuai in the hand, and the slap in the face was just a threat. Seeing that Tang Shuai was unmoved, he turned his target to his hand.
His judgment was very accurate, but it was a little late, and Tang Shuai had already taken action.
The basketball crossed a parabola in the air and flew straight towards the basket.
"Swish!"
With a clear sound, Tang Shuai's pulling hit a steadily, causing Batum's foul!
The difference in points, back to 3 points again!
Another extra penalty!
The Chinese fans at the scene burst into cheers, all stood up from their seats, raised their hands high, and the expression of excitement could not be hidden on their faces.
The fans far away from the ocean were so excited that they could not speak. They couldn't help but shouted, even if they attracted the surprise gazes around them, they were completely unaware of them.
This time, Tang Shuai seemed very calm, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the free throw line.
With steady hits and free throws, the Chinese team's behind score has reached a point within reach.
When the score difference is so small that it can be ignored, any offensive round is crucial, and any detail may determine the final outcome of the game.
In the offensive round of France, as Parker advanced forward, he looked up at the scoreboard above his head, his face was unprecedentedly serious.
The French and Chinese teams have not played many games in the past, but they have easily won in only a few matches. If they really lose in such an important game as the Olympics, then he and his teammates will always be nailed to the shame of the French men's basketball team.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, he waved his hand to Gobert and made a move to break through. After seeing Guo Ailun shrink back, he suddenly took a step back to the three-point line and then jumped directly.
This attack was caught off guard. Not to mention the Chinese team, even the French team members did not realize it.
As a representative of breakthrough players, Parker rarely shoots three-pointers even in NBA, let alone international games.
The arc of the ball was not good. It can be seen that Parker was not good at shooting three-pointers, but he kept his gestures after shooting, and his eyes were staring straight towards the direction of the basketball's back spin.
After the basketball crossed the highest point, it fell straight down.
Tang Shuai looked up at the falling ball, shocked, the ball was about to enter!
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Parker's three-pointer made a comeback!
The French fans at the scene went completely crazy. Some fans kept cursing there in French, and their excitement was like winning five million.
It was indeed like winning five million. At the most critical moment, Parker scored the most critical points for the French team in the way he was not good at! It was still a three-pointer!
After scoring, Parker let out a long breath, reached out and tapped his forehead, and pointed it straight to the top of his head.
At this moment, he is thanking His God.
Tang Shuai looked up at the timer. There were still 2 minutes of game time. The French team's lead had 4 points. The score that was originally within reach instantly became far away.
He turned to look at his teammates again. Although he was still full of fighting spirit, he could clearly feel the feeling of frustration.
Parker's 3-pointer is too lethal.
A response must be made!
He thought secretly in his heart.
When he advanced to the frontcourt, he called Zhou Qi to catch the ball from the outside, and then ran around the three-point line by himself.
Parker chased him closely, and Yi Jianlian and Zhai Xiaochuan's pick-and-roll failed to block him. It can be seen that the French team must have conducted targeted research on him before the game, and this three-pointer will definitely not allow him to take action easily.
"beep!"
At this moment, the referee blew up the foul at the basket, and Gobert received his fourth personal foul.
Collette immediately replaced Gobert with Masinmi. At this moment, the Chinese team also made a personnel adjustment, and Gong Luming replaced Guo Ailun with Zhao Haoyan!
This move was very sudden. Judging from the constant whispering between Christopoulos and Gong Luming off the court, it should be the suggestion from the Greek.
Tang Shuai secretly gave his two coaches a thumbs up in his heart. Although Zhao Haoyan was very young, changing to a stable three-pointer at this time would definitely be a qualitative improvement to the team's offense. Even if he didn't shoot in the end, it would be a big deterrent point there.
Zhao Haoyan kept taking deep breaths before going on the court. He obviously didn't expect that he would appear at such a critical moment, so he must be so nervous.
Seeing this scene, Tang Shuai walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous."
Zhao Haoyan nodded, and his nervous expression eased a lot.
Although he is only 19 years old this year, he is similar to Guo Ailun's original experience. He has always been the core of the team in the National Youth Team. He has no shortage of self-confidence. What he lacks is the opportunity in front of him. After Tang Shuai encouraged him, he focused on the field.
The Chinese team's sideline ball still has 14 seconds of offensive time.
"Come on China!" Chinese fans on the sidelines cheered loudly for the home team. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening in Brazil, but the fans were always staying in the stadium.
"Come on, Tang!" The Brazilian fans who were still on the court also cheered for Tang Shuai.
Zhai Xiaochuan sent the ball from the sideline, Zhou Qi ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball, Tang Shuai and Zhao Haoyan ran around the baseline to the opposite corner, and Yi Jianlian stood near the basket and made a solid pick-and-roll for the two.
This is a tactic with a very simple strategic intention, which is a three-pointer, two points, depending on which one you are the main defense.
Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll is still very good, and the defenders on both sides cannot dodge and directly form a ball.
"Switch defense! Change defense!" Collet shouted anxiously from the sidelines.
Parker and Fournier immediately changed the defender after hearing this. Gobert at the basket hesitated for a moment and followed him to chase Tang Shuai's position.
It is obvious that the deterrence that Tang Shuai brought to the French team is much stronger.
Shuai Tang turned around and saw the French team's defensive formation, and stopped when he was about to raise his request.
At this moment, Zhao Haoyan ran outside the three-point line and waved his hand.
Zhou Qi immediately passed the ball. After Zhao Haoyan received the ball, he turned around and was about to take action. Seeing Parker chasing him, he swayed.
After all, Parker is old and has slowed down a lot. Seeing that Zhao Haoyan is about to take action, he jumped and rushed forward without thinking.
When Zhao Haoyan saw Parker pounce, there was no change in expression on his face. After flying Parker steadily, he dribbled the ball to the left, and then made a three-pointer.
When Tang Shuai saw this scene, he was stunned. Zhao Haoyan's psychological quality was OK! He looked so nervous and thought it was not possible, but he didn't expect that he was not at all stage frightened at the critical moment.
The basketball flew out of Zhao Haoyan's hand, drifted in a perfect arc in the air, and fell straight towards the basket.
The hand shape and movement of the move are very standard, and the angle of the move is not high and the speed is very fast. It looks a bit similar to Curry's posture.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Zhao Haoyan scored three points!
At the scene, domestic fans were instantly exploded!
Zhao Haoyan responded positively to Parker's three-pointer!
The Chinese team once again scored 1 point!
After scoring the goal, Zhao Haoyan was extremely excited. He first pretended to make a three-pointer gesture at the audience, and then ran around the half.
"Yes!" Tang Shuai looked at Zhao Haoyan's actions and couldn't help but smile and mutter.
Chapter completed!
