NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - Vol 2 Chapter 970
Chapter 974 Counterattack from MVP! The legend ends! !
At 78:72, Ginobili scored 14 points in the third quarter. When he returned to the Argentine team’s bench panting heavily, it is estimated that the Argentine coach James has already thought about what kind of celebration ceremony to prepare after the game. .
Wang Zelin returned to the bench and took a deep breath. The Argentine team scored 27 points in a single quarter, while the Tianchao team was stunned by Ginobili alone. Scoring 17 points, such a performance is obviously failing.
There is still time now, if he is very clear, if he usually cannot give a response, and after the fourth quarter starts, if the score continues to expand, even if Argentina’s physical fitness declines, it will be difficult for the man to chase.
When the timeout was about to end, coach Gong Luming, who was at a loss, turned his attention to Wang Zelin, with the same deep affection and the same desperation:
“My lord, the team can only rely on you if they want to chase points.”
Wang Zelin nodded and smiled, and patted the coach on the shoulder:
“give it to me!”
The Tianchao team was beaten by Ginobili, and now they have one foot on the edge of a cliff.
On the bench, the players of the Tianchao team have different expressions, nervous, uneasy, apprehensive, etc., with all kinds of affection, but there is no…
No, one person’s face was solemn, but there was a hint of calmness and confidence in it.
The hot guy is Yi Jianlian!
In the past few years of playing for the NBA Trail Blazers, Yi Jianlian’s vision has become wider and wider, and his mentality has far surpassed other teammates.
In fact, in the NBA, the Trail Blazers also encountered such a difficult situation, and how did the Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts do it?
To put it bluntly, it’s a trick that can be eaten all over the world: if everything fails, then give the ball to Wang Zelin and let him play singles!
Relying on this trick, the Trail Blazers escaped in desperation more than once.
Therefore, thinking of all the things he experienced in the NBA, Yi Jianlian not only did not panic, but became more stable, especially when he heard the conversation between coach Gong Luming and Yi Jianlian, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I almost forgot, this guy is the MVP of the NBA, Argentine vultures, you are in for a big deal!
After the timeout, coach Gong Luming replaced Ding Yanyuhang and Zhai Xiaochuan with Li Gen and Zhou Peng, who were more accurate with three-pointers. The inside line was still the twin towers of Yi Jianlian + Zhou Qi, and Wang Zelin was the main controller in the first position.
Lu Shuren once said: The one who knows you best is often not your teammates but your enemies.
When playing, Ginobili once again reminded his teammates earnestly, remember to pay attention to Wang Zelin.
In fact, during the intermission, Ginobili kept repeating a sentence:
“He’s the NBA’s three-time MVP!”
In the third quarter, the demon knife was completely unsheathed and played like a **** descending from the earth. When he was off the field, the young players in the Argentine team looked at him with admiration, as if they were looking at God.
Seeing the Argentine basketball **** so repeatedly emphasized, all the other Argentine players nodded heavily, and there was no smile on their faces after overtaking the score.
The game is not over yet, it’s too early to be happy.
The first attack in the last quarter, the Chinese team has the ball.
When Wang Zelin slowly dribbled the ball through the half court, from Ginobili’s perspective, he felt that the figures of Wang Zelin and Duncan were somewhat overlapping. An inexplicable similarity.
It is said that desperation depends on the demon knife. As everyone knows, when the Spurs are in desperation, the player who can convey the most confidence to the team is actually not Ginobili himself, but the one who has always been taciturn on the surface, but in fact he has always used his personal skills. The stone Buddha who moves silently pushes the Spurs forward.
When you are teammates with Duncan, even if you encounter big things, it seems that you don’t have to worry about it. You just need to be yourself, because Duncan will help you solve the remaining problems.
If you want to describe this ability, it should be called “extraordinary charisma”!
Before, Ginobili only felt such ability in Duncan. Now, seeing Wang Zelin exuding confidence all over his body, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
To be honest, although this inexplicable anxiety makes people feel very uncomfortable, he is very familiar with it, because in the past ten years of playing for the Spurs, he, Duncan and Parker have to experience it several times every season.
Closer to home, as soon as he reached the top of the arc, Wang Zelin made a tactical gesture – pull it all away, put away that **** pick-and-roll for me!
Seeing this, Zhou Qi, the only player in the Tianchao men’s basketball team who didn’t have the ability to stabilize three-pointers, also quickly moved out of the penalty area and came to the short corner area on the left.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Wang Zelin’s dribbling rhythm fluctuated from slow to fast. Every time the basketball hit the ground, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Delfino’s heart. He never dared to take out Wang Zelin’s ball, but his center of gravity It changed with Wang Zelin’s dribbling.
Change direction, speed up, cheers suddenly!
“NO!”
Delfino was nearly split on the spot by Wang Zelin’s sharp change of direction, his feet went limp, and he just watched Wang Zelin break through his defense.
Diamond had to make up the defense in advance, but he didn’t dare to start.
Over the past few years, Wang Zelin is the best player in the NBA who is good at “three-point shooting”. With a terrifying tonnage of 308 pounds, coupled with that heaven-defying soft touch, once he is charged up, he is no different from a humanoid tank. Ordinary fouls are against him. It’s like scratching an itch.
In the NBA, Diamond is criticized for being soft on the defensive end, but he is very smart in playing. If he meets Lengtouqing, he will soon feel the charm of flopping art from him.
However, Wang Zelin is by no means an ordinary person. In the first half, Scola caused Zhou Qi to hit someone with a dribble. The shaped breakthrough was bypassed.
Scola’s position was not chosen well. If he wanted to make a foul, he might be sentenced to a defensive block by the referee.
It has to be said that Diamond’s golf quotient is really high, he knows how to assess the situation, decisively raises his hands high, and makes the last effort.
Ever since he had unlimited physical strength, Wang Zelin hadn’t worried about physical problems for a long time. After passing the last line of defense in Argentina, he took off decisively and staged a violent two-handed buckle.
He chose to use the craziest way to complete the finish, which was eye-catching, and he also stunned the Argentine players behind him.
Is this guy’s physical strength a bottomless pit?
Or do young people recover so quickly?
Not to mention breaking through and dunking in the final quarter, even if Wang Zelin imitated the famous scene of a certain tortoise dunking in three overtimes, it would be no problem.
74:78!
This dunk greatly boosted the morale of the Tianchao players.
So what if we fall behind temporarily, we have Wang Zelin, we have MVP!
Back on the defensive end, since it is not clear whether Ginobili’s unpredictable state will continue into the fourth quarter, Wang Zelin decided to defend himself.
When Ginobili went around to catch the ball by running without the ball, but looked up and found Wang Zelin standing in front of him, he couldn’t help being shocked.
Wang Zelin’s defensive approach is mainly based on defensive breakthroughs and cutting off passes. He did not engage in close-to-face shooting interference.
The reason why Yaodao is called Yaodao is not only because of his playing style which makes other teams unpredictable, but also because he is unstable on the court.
Especially the 39-year-old Yaodao, after three quarters of fierce confrontation, his physical fitness has declined seriously. He doesn’t think Ginobili can still maintain his fiery touch.
Otherwise, there would not be the name of “20-minute Jordan” back then.
Sure enough, Ginobili passed the ball to Nocioni after trying to launch an offensive to no avail. Nocioni faced Li Gen and made a very quick tentative step. Li Gen was deceived at that time.
There is no way, this is the gap between strength and experience, and it is difficult to make up for it in a short time.
However, Nocioni failed to make a shot after swaying Reagan. His emergency stop jump shot was swooped by No. 20 of Tianchao team, causing interference. Zhou Qi grabbed the defensive rebound to accept this wave.
Looking back, after establishing a one-on-one single defense to no avail, Argentina’s defensive strategy turned to double-teaming.
Wang Zelin showed his ability to pass the ball. In the quotation, he distributed the ball to Li Gen in the bottom corner. Li Gen made an open three-pointer and pierced into the net.
Li Gen is definitely a three-point shooter in the CBA league. In the 14-15 season, he averaged 3.5 three-point shots per game, hit 1.6 goals, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 45%. From the perspective of this era, he is absolutely called Have a high-yield and high-efficiency sentence.
Although affected by various factors last season, the data has declined, and the three-point shooting rate has dropped to 36%, but the output has not changed, averaging 4.4 shots per game and hitting 1.6 goals.
In this game, Li Gen, who played mostly as a substitute, is currently in full physical fitness. For a sharpshooter, this kind of open opportunity is equivalent to feeding food to his mouth, and he only needs to swallow it.
Relying on this three-pointer, 77:78, the Tianchao team played 5:0 at the start of the final quarter, chasing the point difference to only one point left.
“Li Gen is doing well. He scored a three-pointer from the open area. Now the men’s basketball team is only one point away!”
“Come on, boys in the men’s basketball team, victory is in sight, don’t give up.”
In the court commentary booth, the battle became more and more intense, and the commentary voices of Yu Jia and Zhang Reasonable became more and more excited, and even the Tianchao fans in front of the TV began to get nervous.
Must win!
Everyone silently prayed for the men’s basketball team in their hearts.
Argentina was attacking, Ginobili was really tired, Nicholas passed the ball to Diamond for singles, Diamond did not do the details of the hook after turning around, was successfully caught by Wang Zelin, and immediately sent a pegboard cap.
“Counterattack! Counterattack!”
The moment Wang Zelin finished blocking the shot, coach Gong Luming and Dayao shouted in unison.
“Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack…”
Nearly 10,000 Chinese fans at the scene also shouted in unison.
Li Gen and Zhou Peng quickly came down from both sides, Wang Zelin accelerated to break through from the middle, and Delnofi and Nicholas desperately returned to defense.
It’s a pity that it was too late. At this time, Wang Zelin still chose to believe in himself. After taking a step in from the free throw line, he took off on the spot and completed the shocking dunk!
At 79:78, the Tianchao team played a 7:0 offensive climax and successfully achieved a reversal of the score.
“MVP! MVP! MVP!”
The audience was completely ebullient. Wang Zelin’s dunk successfully lifted the atmosphere of the scene, and there was a uniform MVP cheer in Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium.
“Defense!”
On the field, Wang Zelin clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it to the sky, roaring wildly.
“Defend! Defend!”
The Tianchao fans present immediately defended in unison. This is really treating the basketball stadium in a foreign country as the home court of the Tianchao team.
The cheers of the fans made the adrenaline of the men’s basketball players soar. In the next round, they defended the Argentine team until they almost violated the 24-second rule.
Ginobili catches the ball at the last moment, facing Wang Zelin’s difficult shot…
“…”
He even made a three non-stick!
There is no way, the height gap between the two is too great, one is 1.98 meters, the other is 2.16 meters, and Wang Zelin’s physical fitness can crush and beat the 39-year-old Ginobili in all aspects. This ball is too difficult.
“This…”
Argentine coach James raised his heart in his throat. He never expected that the **** of basketball in Argentina would “contribute” a three-pointer at a critical moment. This should not be a big blow to Argentina’s morale.
But he pursed his lips and had no choice but to sit back on the chair.
Ginobili scored a team-high 27 points tonight, facing such a 39-year-old veteran, you really can’t ask for more from him.
Yaodao, really tried his best!
However, standing on the opposite side is the winner of the NBA’s three consecutive regular season MVPs and three consecutive championship MVPs in the past three seasons. He is a contemporary legend who can rival the top ten giants in NBA history such as Jordan, Bird, and O’Neal!
On the court, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and handed it to Wang Zelin immediately, and the Tianchao team succeeded in pushing the fast break again.
“boom!”
There was a shocking sound of smashing the basket quickly on the court, and everyone hurriedly looked, only to see that No. 20 of the Tianchao team was once again hanging on the basket.
Looking at that appearance, you don’t need to guess, he just completed another full-court one-stop dunk.
9:0!
The final quarter started 9:0!
I don’t dare to think about who will replace it!
However, the Tianchao team did it.
beep~~~
Argentine coach James immediately got up and applied for a timeout, but it was still too late. Now the momentum of the Argentine team is almost broken.
Again, Ginobili is the soul of this Argentine team, and his personal performance directly determines the life and death of the Argentine team.
The explosion in the third quarter gave the Argentine fans hope of winning, but Ginobili is really too old and has long lived up to the past. After the brief hope, the Argentine fans felt unprecedented despair.
Is the prosperous age belonging to the golden generation of Argentina really coming to an end?
The Argentine fans at the scene, as well as the Argentine audience in front of the TV, all turned their eyes to the Argentine No. 5 whose hairline had already broken through the sky. Seeing him sitting on the bench panting, everyone was silent.
The eagle that once soared in the sky on the Pampas grassland is about to perform the legendary song of departure today.
If nothing else, it’s time for them to wave goodbye to the golden generation of the Argentine men’s basketball team.
Thank you ~www.mtlnovel.com ~ Manu Nuginobili!
After the timeout, the Argentine fans couldn’t help but smile when they saw the man who was re-clothed.
At this moment, they no longer care about who wins or loses in this game. They just want to take a last look at the heroic appearance of the Pampas Eagles in blue and white shirts fighting on the field.
…
…
The final whistle sounded, and the score on the field was fixed at 107:89!
The Tianchao team scored 35 points in the last quarter and held Argentina to only 11 points. They finally defeated the Argentine team by 18 points and broke into the Olympic semi-finals in a historic way.
In the crucial last quarter, the MVP of the Celestial Team led the team to successfully launch a counterattack and reverse, while the legend of the Argentine team tried his best to save the team, and the career of the national team came to an end.
Time is so cruel, always a new generation wins over the old.
