Chapter 353 The last thirty seconds
Argentina Demon Sword scored 9 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, allowing fans familiar with the Spurs to finally find the style of the best sixth man last season. As Ginobili, who once led the team to pull the American Dream team down, his performance in the first half was really bad. Even facing the inside of the NBA champion team, he should not perform so sluggishly.
Fortunately, Ginobili completed the redemption in the third quarter, but the last quarter is the time to truly test the stars of the two teams. Whoever can't withstand the opponent's impact in the last quarter will be eliminated!
In the fourth quarter, the two teams still had a good reputation. Canada has no tricks. It only relies on the three giants to attack in turn. The three people have different offensive combinations every time, and it doesn't look monotonous. Argentina knew that Canada only had those offensive routines, but it just couldn't defend its opponent.
In fact, there are not many tricks on Argentina's offensive end. Most of them rely on Ginobili's breakthrough and Scola's low post to attack. The two of them attack by themselves when they have the chance, and create opportunities for their teammates to pass the ball without the chance. This combination of internal and external and sudden points is also very simple, but the power is equally not small.
The two teams will launch a battle against each other with clear swords and guns, and the final winner will definitely be the side with stronger comprehensive capabilities.
Although the Canadian team tried hard to counterattack in the last quarter, the Argentina team's scorer group performed well. Delfino and Nosioni performed well on the defensive end. As long as they had the opportunity, they could not only have three-pointers at open positions, but also one-on-one, they could even attack the Canadian team's second and third-place players.
The Canadian team initially used Joel Anthony as the center, allowing Ji Guohu to play a small forward, but within a few minutes in the fourth quarter, Joel Anthony received five fouls. His defensive style was destined to be difficult to stick to the end of the game in international basketball games. There are many actions of NBA's intensity defense here, which are fouls.
Argentina firmly takes the initiative by relying on its own advantages, and they always keep a five or six-point lead.
Three minutes before the final game, Ginobili made a layup and Argentina led by 8 points with 72:80.
"Damn big bald man, I can't cover you with telepathy. It's so hateful, I deserve to be hairless!" Ji Guomomiy just helped defend himself in time and was played with by Ginobili in the air, and he scored a goal against his butt. The little fox felt his face burning after the pause.
Ginobili was also scolding Ji Guomo on the Argentina bench at this moment. The ball was almost blocked just now. Ginobili didn't expect that Ji Guomo was turned over by him, but he turned around and waved his arms to block it without looking at it. He almost slapped his layup off. Finally, he almost stretched his waist and pulled a lever before he could get out of danger.
The broadcasting technology of the Beijing Olympics is very superb and professional. At this moment, the director divides the picture into two, with Argentina's bench on the left and Canada on the right.
At this time, careful fans could find that the two core members of Argentina, Ginobili and Scola, were already sitting in their seats and breathing. This was a sign that their physical strength reached its limit.
Looking at the Canadian team, except for the two core members of Nash and Argentina, the breathing frequency of the twin brothers was not as fast as that of these three people, especially the dead fox was muttering something. The picture flashed by, but he could already see that he was exhausted at all.
How much does physical strength have to affect the player? He can make you score 62 points in the first three quarters, then make 1 of 11 shots in the last quarter and concede 9 free throws.
Ginobili and Scola did not rest in the second half. The excited Argentine fans may not have found any problem, but Fernandez's face began to be a little gloomy. The old Argentine coach knew that the 31-year-old Ginobili had actually begun to decline, and his physical strength has never been his strength. His spirituality and key ball abilities can only be exerted when he is full of energy. This is also the reason why **Vic asked him to play the sixth man. Ginobili, who has no physical strength, has lost his power. His double-edged sword can easily hurt himself at this time.
Canada changed: Nash, Aaron Donakamp, Ji Guomeng, Matt Bonner, Ji Guoqie.
Argentina replaced: Paboro Prigioni, Emmanuel Ginobili, Andres Nosioni, Luis Scola, Fabrichio Obotto.
After the game started again, Ginobili's breakthrough was quickly replaced by Ji Guomo again. The dead fox competed with the big bald man today, and he focused on Ginobili's breakthrough to assist in double-teaming.
Ginobili shook his wrist and quickly passed the ball outward...
Spurs fans knew that the result of bald passes was completely divided into two extremes, either an angel or a devil. This time, the pass was reduced due to the decline in physical strength, and the basketball did not pass through Ji Guomeng smoothly, but was touched by the little fox's finger.
Nash jumped out of the crowd and handed the basketball in his hand. Canada immediately launched a quick counterattack...
Canada's quick counterattack is similar to that of the Suns and the Clippers. Two inside players came out and followed Nash to quickly. There are two pass targets in the national team. The only question for him is who to pass it to?
Ji Guomomiya jumped up and received a wonderful tomahawk dunk from the basketball with one arm. The entire Wukesong Stadium became boiling under the Fox Brother's dunk!
Canada's counterattack was not over, it was just the beginning. Triano did not arrange a quick attack, but Nash began to consciously speed up after Ji Guomeng's slam dunk. Nash, who was experienced, knew that the game had reached a watershed, Canada's morale was rising, and they had a chance to end their opponents.
The two brothers integrated into Nash's offensive rhythm without any obstacles, and the Canadian offense turned into the Suns' 7-second bombardment tactic in the last three minutes.
Argentine players said they could not keep up with Canada's fast pace, and Ginobili and Scola could not keep up even if they were not physically exhausted.
Not only them, but even the other two Canadian players couldn't keep up with the speed of the three.
A dunk, several mid-range shots, and Nash finally finished with a three-pointer.
In just one and a half minutes, the three Canadian giants were like 3v7, relying on only three people to hit an attack wave. The 7:2 small ** allowed Canada to quickly tie the score.
In the last 1 minute and 20 seconds, the score was 82:82, and the two teams tied.
Fernandez called a timeout not long ago, but only allowed Argentina to score two points. They were powerless to stop this running and bombing tactic. Once the twin brothers ran, the impact was too strong and they could not keep up.
In the last few minutes, Ginobili had no strength anymore. Once his breakthrough and cold shots could not be shot, the threat was immediately reduced significantly.
At the critical moment, Scola stood up. At this time, Ginobili was not only the core in Argentina, but Scola was also a player who could save the team at the critical moment.
Louis Scola - nicknamed Argentina's best actor. His true identity is actually the successor of Fantasy Footsteps. At a critical moment, he once again used his strange footsteps in the inside line, and he was so amazing that he was trying to score a goal at the basket.
"Damn, have you walked?"
Ji Guochou felt that his defense was good enough, but in the end he was shaken away from the center of gravity by Scola's back footsteps, which once again made this white man who had no height, could not run fast, and could not jump high with his skills.
Yao Ming smiled when he saw his miserable Panda brother, "The Little Pandas look very unhappy, it's not his fault for not defending well. Scola's steps are indeed too gorgeous. When he first arrived at the Rockets, he knocked Hayes down in the training game. It can be seen how powerful his steps are. Now looking at the entire league, I can't find an inside line that can be more beautiful than his steps."
Master Reliable smiled and said, "Scola's back-to-body footsteps are actually composed of several most common basic inside movements. They rely on fighting, dreamy footsteps, hooking scores, and several movements are elegant and elegant. They are done in one go. The footsteps and movements are explained very clearly without any drag. If you break these down, I believe that professional players can do it, but if they combine them together and use them to shake the opponent, then few people can do it. What is talent? This is talent. In terms of body, Scola is not as good as Wang Zhizhi, nor as good as Alien, and far less than the twin brothers. But now Scola's footsteps are becoming a symbol of the Rockets. This Argentine power forward has become the most vicious inside player in the league today."
Fans in Wukesong Stadium applauded Scola. When the fans saw Scola fainting Ji Guoqiu, even more than a thousand Canadian fans who came from afar were exclaimed. Scola was so cool that he completely reproduced Olajuwon's long-lost dreamy dance steps.
Canada turned around, Ji Guoqiu received the ball at a low post, and the giant pandas dealt with Scola. All the fans immediately focused on the two people who were fighting. They wanted to see if Ji Guoqiu could return the ball back? Moreover, this offense is not just about face. Now the game is about to enter the last minute, and if the mistake is lost, it is likely that his team will lose the game.
Ji Guoqiu is self-aware. Scola's footsteps are a technique he has always wanted to learn, but it takes time. He has not had enough time to calm down and study this fantastic footsteps. Now he cannot score like Scola, but he has his own way. Although the viewing is a bit poor, it doesn't matter. What they want now is not beauty, but victory!
When Scola saw Ji Guochou turning left, he immediately moved a little horizontally, and then saw Ji Guochou quickly turned around in the opposite direction and broke through. The other hand holding the ball pulled the ball from the position that the referee could not see. The athletic ability far exceeds Scola made the Argentine actor not have time to step to stop it. Brother Panda had completed the turn in an instant, and after breaking through, he jumped up and dunked the basketball with both hands!
Yao Ming's smile never fell, and then said: "Scola can rate A in offense, but on the defensive end, even if his fake falls are included, he can barely rate B in the face of an inside line with amazing athletic ability like Ji Guochou, his defensive footsteps are not as gorgeous as his offense."
The Argentina team called a timeout again. Ji Guoqiu and Scola fought one-on-one this time, and the two were tied, one had a strong offense and weak defense, and the other had a strong defense and weak offense. Both of them had a temporary flaw. However, Ji Guoqiu was less than 20 years old, and this flaw could be compensated quickly through training, but Scola is already 28 years old. This is his peak. It will only decline without much improvement in the future.
This timeout has restored some strength to Ginobili. After the game started again, the Demon Sword made a hit outside the three-point line. The Spurs' last reliance in desperate situations. As long as he still has the strength, he cannot relax at all.
Nash turned around and played pick-and-roll with Ji Guomeng. Argentina also made a mistake at the critical moment. They pounced on Nash together. Ji Guomeng received a pass from behind and tied the score with a wing three-pointer again.
There are the last 30 seconds left in the game, and the score is 87:87, and the two teams are still evenly matched.
Master Sun slapped the table and shouted excitedly: "Good ball! The Canadian team's No. 10 Nash has a wonderful pass. After the separation, Steve received the ball with a three-pointer, and he cooperated very well!"
Master Heli was also excited to see it, and his face turned red, "Oh... Look at this ball is so good, so this ball is so good... this ball is so good..."
Yao Ming: “…………”
In the last 30 seconds of game time, theoretically, both teams have an offense. Argentina can choose to attack or suppress the time, but both methods are risky. Deliberately accelerating or compressing the offensive time will reduce the shooting rate. Once this offense is not completed, it will leave the opponent with a chance to win.
After careful consideration, Fernandez did not choose these two options, but chose to attack normally, not deliberately pursuing time or rushing to attack.
In the opinion of the Argentina head coach, this is the safest way.
Triano replaced Matt Bonner, who was not flexible enough, and the two brothers returned to the inside. Canada played 32 and two-way defense. Three players defended Argentina from the outside to the inside. The inside was completely handed over to the two brothers. Whether they could defend it depends on their champion's defensive level inside.
The two brothers felt that the pressure was very high, but after the playoffs, they no longer took this pressure seriously. They just tried their best to do it without considering the outcome. Winning means that they are more skilled. If they lose, they are not as skilled as others. They go back to practice hard for the next Olympics and don’t need to think too much at this time.
This mentality made the two brothers make a correct judgment on the defensive end. Ginobili's breakthrough did not cause the two brothers to lose their position. The Fox brother made up for defense like in the previous game, and the Panda brother made up for the gap left by Ji's national humiliation. The two of them had a perfect rotation, which left Ginobili without a goal to pass the ball, so he could only choose to force his move...
"Bang!" Ginobili, who was not in the best condition, failed to hit the key throw this time, and the basketball hit the basket.
Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound at the basket, Scola sighed secretly. Facing the tall, long and amazingly bouncing brother Panda, he really had no chance. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
