"Double-team! Damn it! Double-team the last one! Don't let him form one-on-one singles again!" the Australian head coach roared loudly.
Double team?
I knew it.
Tang Qian and Xu Ziyang winked. In the offensive round, the Chinese team seemed to be repeating its old trick, passing the ball to Tang Qian for a single. But when the Australian players came to double-team, Tang Qian did not delay and decisively
He passed the basketball in his hand. The target position was not Xu Ziyang standing in the corner, but who was it?
After receiving a pass from Tang Qian, Xu Ziyang looked up at the basket and saw a wide open space.
Two meters in front of me, there was no one.
Xu Ziyang did not hesitate. He took off and shot the ball in one go. The orange basketball arced through the sky and hit the net accurately.
Brush~~~
Three points into the pocket.
"Get back to defense quickly, don't let them push back."
After Tang Qian saw the three-pointer go into the net, he immediately called on the other players to retreat. After all, although the Chinese team had succeeded continuously during this period, the point difference with the Australian team was still not small. If they wanted to catch up, they would not be careless at all.
he……
Don’t you still want to win?
Four minutes and thirty seconds, trying to chase more than thirty points, how is this possible?
Xu Ziyang thought as he ran.
brush.
The small forward of the Australian team reluctantly took the shot, but he missed it and made a mid-range shot from more than four meters away.
Finally, Australia started scoring.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a lucky ball. We still have a chance." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he ran towards the frontcourt.
Opportunity? Is there really still a chance? Such a big point difference...
The other members of the Chinese team were murmuring in their hearts.
"Give me."
Tang Qian waved for the ball, as if he wanted to take Sanguez alone again.
"Don't even think about playing alone again!"
Australia's power forward quickly ran over to flank the lane.
"Well done." Tang Qian saw the opponent's power forward abandoning his original position. He raised his lips, flicked his wrist, and suddenly shot a ground pass. It was unbiased and landed on the Chinese team's running horse.
Facing an empty basket in Wu's hands, Ma Wu was naturally not polite. He jumped up high, waved his right arm, and succeeded in a slam dunk.
What a relief!
Ma Wu waved his fist after landing. It can be seen that this game has suppressed him quite miserably.
And bombing the opponent's basket is undoubtedly the most effective way to vent one's emotions.
The momentum of the Chinese National Youth Team gradually increased. They thought that even if they couldn't win this game, they would still lose spectacularly and show Chinese integrity.
How could it be possible to leave in despair???
In the following rounds, with Tang Qian as the pivot, the Chinese team scored another open three-pointer and a half-volume two-pointer. The score difference between the two teams further narrowed.
Are there less than twenty points left?
There are still two minutes left, there is still a chance.
Beep beep beep~~~
The head coach of the Australian team couldn't sit still. He began to change players and sent out the main players of the Australian team one after another.
"Coach Li, the opponent's main players have returned to the field. Should we also make substitutions?" the assistant coach of the Chinese team suggested.
"Well... don't worry, wait a little longer. If we can catch up to within ten points, then it's not too late to change." Li Qiuping lowered his head and considered for three or four seconds before replying.
"Chinaman, you are in good shape today, but if Jackson and I reappear, you will be fine." The speaker was the Australian team's main point guard Purchas. As for Jackson, he felt good today.
Australia's leading small forward.
Eighteen points is Jackson's score today.
Very good.
"Stop talking to me. If you have the guts, come find me on the inside. If you don't dare, just shut up." Tang Qian heard this and immediately retorted.
"Coach Li, this Tang Qian seems to have been quarreling with the Australian players." The assistant coach said.
"Well, you should be talking trash. This is very common in foreign basketball." Li Qiuping said: "Using trash talk can sometimes change the opponent's mentality, attack the opponent's psychology, and destroy the opponent's original rhythm.
, in order to gradually drag the opponent into his own rhythm of the game step by step."
"So that's it?" The assistant coach nodded, and then asked again: "If this trash talk is so easy to use, why don't other members of our team use it? Don't they all know how to use it?"
"That's right or wrong," Li Qiuping said.
"That's right or wrong? What do you mean? Coach Li, just say it straight, my mind is moving too slowly." The assistant coach gave up after thinking for a while.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, you haven't been in the coaching circle for a long time, so you don't know. Why can I talk trash but they can't?" Li Qiuping looked at the bench of the Chinese National Youth Team, shook his head slightly and said:
"Everyone can say sarcastic words, but fluent English... not every Chinese athlete can do it."
"This... Coach Li hit the nail on the head, and it makes sense. I thought it was too simple." The assistant coach also looked at the bench, and then shook his head slightly.
Besides, on the court, due to Tang Qian's provocation, Australia's main point guard Puchas was indeed fooled. After accelerating and breaking through Xu Ziyang's defense, he looked at Tang Qian, as if he was shouting proudly: How about it, I'll do it.
Now, can you stop me?
"Well come."
Tang Qian smiled, but that smile was not warm, but cold.
Tang Qian deliberately left a gap, allowing Puchas space to take off. Seeing this, the latter did not hesitate and laughed loudly: "You don't want to make up for it? I will accept this gift! Just look up at my butt.
, Chinaman!”
Purchas kicked the ground with his right foot, and then jumped up in the Chinese team's penalty area. His intention was obvious to passers-by.
Want to dunk!
Friends who have watched a lot of games must know that every timeout and every substitution usually has its own tactical significance.
For example, at this time, when the substitutes are beaten to a pulp, the main force is replaced to stop the bleeding and to contain it. A similar situation, such as the Los Angeles Lakers during their two consecutive championships, is a typical situation where the main force fills holes and the substitutes dig holes. Therefore, during that period
No matter how many points the Lakers lead in the front, they may be caught up later. However, the Lakers' starting lineup is really strong, so they can often overcome dangers.
So the head coach of the Australian team has the same idea now. Since the substitutes have been defeated by the Chinese team's substitutes, he can stabilize the decline by sending the main force.
But, can it really go as he wishes?
Just when Puchas was about to enjoy the pleasure of ravaging the basket, Tang Qian took off. The latter was like a giant wall, rising out of thin air and emerging out of thin air, instantly blocking Puchas' dunk route.
Oh, no, let alone the route, even the line of sight was almost obscured by Tang Qian's long arms. With a "pop", Puchas flew out with the ball, and then fell hard to the ground in a blank space.
.
No foul was called.
Tang Qian picked up the ball and flicked it with one arm. The orange basketball instantly turned into a red line, and then landed with great accuracy in the hands of Ma Wu, who was already about to take off the ball.
Defensive counterattack.
Facing the empty Australian penalty area, Ma Wu jumped up and dunked hard with one arm, slamming the basketball into the opponent's hoop.
Ma Wu dunked again.
Good guy, what kind of strength does this kid have? He actually knocked away Australia's main point guard with just one palm?
Yes, yes!
Li Qiuping seemed to remember something and immediately shouted to the assistant coach: "Xiao Chen, help me get Tang Qian's personal information, quickly!"
"Oh, okay, okay." The assistant coach quickly pulled out a folder from behind. He quickly found Tang Qian's personal information page from it, then handed it to Li Qiuping and said, "I found it, here, Coach Li.
"
Li Qiuping took the information and quickly moved his eyes down. After a while, he found what he was looking for.
Tang Qian has a bench press strength of over 150 kilograms.
One hundred and fifty kilograms? More than that?
When Li Qiuping first saw this number, he thought Cheng Jianguo had made a mistake. Now that he saw it, maybe this boy named Tang Qian could really do it.
Are you born with supernatural powers?
For some reason, these four words suddenly appeared in Li Qiuping's mind.
"Puchas, that center is not easy. Don't challenge him inside anymore. We can maintain the lead by attacking from the outside." Jackson, the leading small forward of the Australian team, said.
"Yeah." Puchas nodded.
In fact, Jackson didn't need to say more. He, Purchas, didn't want to go inside to challenge Tang Qian anymore. The shot he just made had already left a deep impression on him.
Australia attacking round.
"Puchas, give me the ball."
Jackson opened his hand to ask for the ball. After receiving the pass, he made two tentative steps, then jumped with both feet, and actually shot up directly from the ground.
Brush~~~
Australia snatched three points back.
"Damn it! I didn't expect him to have such a skill!" Ma Wu jumped and said in annoyance.
"Did you see that, Chinaman!" Jackson raised his shoulders and said with a sarcastic smile.
Tang Qian's eyelids shrank, he pulled Xu Ziyang and said: "The full-court press will start later."
"Full-court press? But we haven't practiced this tactic before!" Xu Ziyang said.
"This is the only way to narrow the gap." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the opponent's hinterland.
"Yes, really? Is this the only way to narrow the gap?" Xu Ziyang murmured twice, then gritted his teeth and said:
Fight!
The point guard is the brain and commander of the court, so it is perfect for him to give orders.
"We will adopt full-court emergency marking later! Let's all fight!" Xu Ziyang shouted loudly in Chinese. This is also the benefit of the international competition. If you don't understand what others say, others may not understand you.
Tang Qian caught the ball, and the Australian team came over to double-team as usual. No matter how stupid they were, they could see that the tall man in front of them was the core of the Chinese team's offense and defense. As long as they held him down, the Chinese team would definitely lose and they would never be able to overturn it again.
any turmoil.
Facing a double team, Tang Qian naturally had no intention of attacking. He used his height to throw the ball to Xu Ziyang, who was waiting outside the three-point line.
After Xu Ziyang caught the ball, he immediately took action, but this time, he failed to make the shot. The basketball bounced high on the neck of the basket, like the sigh of the goddess of fate. Everyone knew that the ball did not hit the goal.
Advance means that there is not enough time left.
Lost? No!
Tang Qian relied on his strength to directly squeeze away Sanges under the basket, then jumped high, stretched his right arm straight, like an iron rod, and hit the bouncing basketball hard, "Boom!"
With a sound, the orange basketball returned to the embrace of the basket.
Make up for the deduction!
"pretty!"
Xu Ziyang, who missed the shot, shouted happily.
"Full court defense!"
Tang Qian, who succeeded in tipping the ball back, did not turn back to defend like before. Instead, he slid forward, quickly spread his arms, and stood directly in front of Sanguez who was about to serve.
The left and right arms were waving continuously.
It has to be said that Tang Qian is tall and has long arms. When he spreads out his whole body, it is like an iron wall, covering the ground with darkness, blocking Sanguez's passing route.
Beep beep beep~~~
The referee suddenly blew his whistle.
Serving violation.
Under pressure from Tang Qian, Sanguez failed to deliver the ball for more than five seconds.
The ball changed hands again, and the Chinese team did not waste a second and got an extra chance to attack.
Ma Wu serves from the baseline.
The ball was passed to Tang Qian. Sanges and Jackson quickly came up to block it. In order to save time, Tang Qian directly forced the ball to score without thinking.
Snapped.
Snapped.
Brush~~~
Beep!!!
"If a player commits a foul, a goal will count, and one penalty goal will be added."
The referee blew the whistle.
"Beautiful!!!"
Xu Ziyang couldn't help but ran over and collided with Tang Qian. This two plus one score was of great significance. It not only meant that the Chinese team had scored five points in a row, but also was a node for further narrowing the score.
As long as Tang Qian made the free throw, the point difference between the two teams would be only fifteen points.
Although it still seems like a lot, who would have thought that a few minutes ago, the Chinese team was 32 points behind the opponent?
In just a few minutes, half of the points were recovered. This speed is really amazing.
"Xiao Chen, let the main players warm up and be ready to play at any time." Li Qiuping looked at the court and said.
Could it be that he could really chase the point difference to ten points by himself?
Can he really do it?
Brush~~~
Tang Qian lived up to expectations and steadily scored the extra free throw.
"Pass the ball! Sanges! Pass the ball! Shi.t! Don't worry about the Chinese kid in front of you! Pass the ball to me immediately!" The head coach of the Australian team sensed something was wrong, and he immediately moved towards Sang who was throwing the baseline ball.
Gus roared loudly.
"Damn it!" Under the pressure of the head coach, Sanges could barely throw the basketball in his hand, but this action was still anticipated by Tang Qian, who was still focused. He raised his hand and touched it, although he couldn't.
It was a direct steal, but it also completely changed the path of the pass.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Ma Wu grabbed the basketball and passed it straight towards the left three-point line at a 45-degree angle.
"Catch it, Ziyang!"
Ma Wu roared.
Xu Ziyang caught the ball, took a deep breath and said:
"Let me in!"
With no one on guard, Xu Ziyang took the shot.
The basketball was thrown smoothly by him at the highest point, with a moderate arc, flying straight to the Australian team's basket.
Gotta go in!
Xu Ziyang prayed silently in mid-air.
He knew that his ball carried the remaining hope of this game.
If the shot is made, the Chinese team still has a glimmer of hope.
If the shot fails, tonight's battle will come to an end here.
Brush~~~
Three points into the net.
The Chinese team chased the score to 12 points.
At this moment, there is only one minute and twenty-six seconds left before the end of the game.
