Chapter 759 Weird Goal
Updated: 2013-05-09
If the opponent launches a fast attack, the Chinese team has no chance of defending it. Even if it does not have a fast attack and is in a positional battle, the Chinese team will not be able to defend this ball. Once the opponent scores a goal again, whether it is a three-pointer or two-pointer, the Chinese team will never have a chance again after the gap reaches two goals.
And now the game time has entered less than a minute, so Stephen made a quick decision and immediately made a decision. He came to Dwight Howard like a flash, reached out and slapped it hard on Dwight Howard's hand.
Stephen was not sure he could take the ball from Dwight Howard, but he just wanted to use this clear performance and firm attitude to tell the referee that this was a foul. The referee indeed blew the whistle and awarded Stephen a foul. Because the Chinese team had already had a full foul in the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard also gave two free throws.
With the booing of the audience, at this time, no matter how simple your smile is or how excellent your dunk is, as long as you are not from the Chinese team, you will be booed by them.
What Dwight Howard best meets the standards of a great inside player is his free throw shooting percentage. In addition to his rookie season, his average free throw shooting percentage is less than 60% of the season. In the playoffs, his free throw shooting percentage will further decline, which also shows that his psychological fluctuations in key games will be greater.
Since most of his shooting is dunk or tip-off, his shooting percentage has been slightly higher than the free throw percentage in the past two seasons, so when he stood on the free throw line, Dwight Howard's expression was very solemn and he did not relax at all.
Free throws are similar to shooting practice in place. The extra game pressure and psychological fluctuations have led to a very different result. Dwight Howard is similar to Ben Wallace, both of which have too developed upper limb strength, so that the subtle control ability of the wrists and fingers is weak.
When he made the first free throw, it looked outrageous at first glance, but it was useless to grab the rebound, so he didn't move. Sure enough, the ball just gently rubbed against the outer edge of the basket, and I don't know how Dwight Howard punished it. If he was a little more, he couldn't even touch the basket.
Dwight Howard's expression became heavier after losing the first one, and even felt a little nervous. For players of his level, this emotion should not exist. Although these two free throws are very important to the US team, they should not be nervous like this.
So Dwight Howard's second free throw missed again, but the good thing was that it hit the basket's neck, then bounced high and fell. Without Dwight Howard's participation, no one in the United States could grab a rebound from Yao Ming.
After grabbing the rebound, Yao Ming passed the ball to Stephen, but the US team also did it and blocked Stephen's path forward one step ahead of time and did not allow Stephen to increase his speed at all.
Although the fast break was not completed, the ball was not lost and it was still in the hands of the Chinese team. After falling into the positional battle, Yao Ming passed the ball to Yao Ming by hanging high, and Yao Ming played Dwight Howard with his back.
Although Yao Ming has lost his weight, he still weighs nearly 300 pounds, while Dwight Howard weighs only 250 pounds. At least nearly 40 of these fifty pounds are muscles. You can imagine the strength comparison between the two sides. Yao Ming easily got to the position, but before he could turn around and take action, Kobe Bryant slipped over from one side and wanted to steal the ball from behind him. Yao Ming had to pass the ball to the outside.
The ball was transferred back to Stephen's hands, and at this time the offensive time was gone. Stephen had to speed up the attack, but he was facing the defense of LeBron James and Tyane Shaprils. The two of them made a full-scale double-team defense against Stephen. Not to mention attacking, it was difficult to run and pass the ball.
Stephen could not see the thirty-second timing device, but could feel the passage of game time. So when Stephen could not see the basket, he threw the ball in a high throwing way in the direction of the basket, thinking that it would be fine whether to score or not. As long as he could touch the rebound, he would not cause the thirty-second violation to change the ball rights.
Anyway, Yao Ming is at the basket, and the chance of getting a rebound is at least half, but he is facing the basket with his back to the basket, and a distance of one meter outside the three-point line, the ball flew straight into the basket without even touching the rope net.
Many people don’t believe that this will be a shot, they will only think that the ball will fly past the outside of the basket, the person on the left thinks that it is falling from the right, the person on the right thinks that it is from the left, or the referee is keen to see, and confirms the effectiveness of the ball at the first time, indicating that the Chinese team will add three points. At the same time, it also played back on the big screen, and then everyone can see clearly that the ball has indeed entered.
With thirty-four seconds left in the game, Stephen used a very strange shooting method to score a three-pointer and tie the score again. At the same time Stephen took action, thirty seconds just finished. If Stephen took a little late, the Chinese team would have violated the rules for thirty seconds.
Apart from being magical to explain this goal, there is really no other language to describe. If Stephen was deliberately shooting like this, it is estimated that if he came to a live survey, ninety-nine out of a hundred people did not think so. The only thing he thought was that was the only fanatical fans of Stephen.
Because the score was tied again, and the game time was only 34 seconds left, which means that both sides have another chance to attack. If the US team did not use up 30 seconds of offensive time, then the time left for the Chinese team is enough for an attack.
Coach Shashevsky stood up and called a timeout again. After calling this timeout, they had no timeout, but this timeout could not be called. He only hopes that after the US team completes the attack, the Chinese team will also call a timeout, so he can use the Chinese team's timeout to arrange tactics.
At this time, he replaced Taian Shaprils. In order to enhance the diversity of attacks, he replaced Carlos Boozer. Except for Dwight Howard, there were all players with extremely strong offensive capabilities on the court, leaving three people on the outside, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant.
These three people are convenient for the right-to-use position, and at the same time they have strong personal offensive ability. Since they serve in the midfield, they don’t need a point guard. LeBron James has actually been playing in this position all the time, and his height has no effect on him.
Although he was at a disadvantage in the inside height confrontation, the lineup had an advantage in the outside. Even if Stephen could fight against LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant, no one could defend himself.
But these two are the most offensive threats. In this game, the American team scored the highest score was Carmelo Anthony, while Kobe Bryant was the best at offense, especially at critical moments, which was unstoppable.
However, Yunas also expected this situation. The ones who continued to stay on the court were Sun Yue, Stephen and Zhu Fangyu. Zhu Fangyu, who was better at power confrontation, used Zhu Fangyu to defend Carmelo Anthony. Although he was not as fast and flexible as the opponent, he was also the best choice in helplessness. Sun Yue's height and maneuverability advantages are not outstanding in defense strength but has a higher technical advantage. Kobe Bryant, who is also in a matchup.
Through cooperation with Yunas, Stephen found that the FIBA coach is not much worse than the league coach. Yunas may still have a certain gap with **Vic in on-site command and lineup change response, but the gap is also very small, and it is slightly better than Calessimo.
No wonder D'Antoni had to go to Europe for further studies and then learn from European basketball to play his world in the league. They do have their own unique features. Including the university league, Shashevsky would not be able to succeed if he coached in the league, but it would not damage his success.
After returning to the court, Dwight Howard was responsible for serving and sent it directly to Kobe Bryant, he hurriedly ran to the basket, while LeBron James frequently ran off the ball under Stephen's defense and was not in a hurry to catch the ball.
Time passed by minute by minute, Kobe was still persistently transporting the ball, trying his best to get rid of Sun Yue's defense. Everyone believed that he would take action at the last minute, because Kobe Bryant had such a personality. If it were LeBron James, he would pass it to the one with a better chance in the team.
Everyone was waiting for Kobe Bryant to take action, and his defense was a little relaxed. At this time, Kobe Bryant shook his hand and passed the ball from behind to Carlos Boozer. Many people did not expect it. Although Yi Jianlian, who defended Boozer, wanted to respond urgently, it was too late.
Only Stephen can appear at this time. He knew that players like Kobe Bryant could not predict according to the rules. What he rarely did before did not mean that he would not do this time, so while following LeBron James, he was always paying attention to the movement and position of other people.
When he saw Carlos Boozer's free time, he realized that Kobe Bryant might pass the ball, so he moved two steps ahead of time, relaxing his defense against LeBron James, and Kobe passed the ball indeed. Before Carlos Boozer could take the ball, Stephen beat the ball.
But Stephen also did not get the ball, and the ball was regained by Kobe on the side. However, Sun Yue had already stood in front of him at this time, and the attack time was extremely left. Kobe's hastily shot did not hit the basket like Stephen, giving the Chinese team five seconds of offensive time.
Chapter completed!
