"The suspension of Yunas is very timely. The Chinese team has a two-point lead and has the right to the ball. If they score next time, they will be very passive for us." Spanish coach Renesse went on to say, "The game has reached the most critical time, the next defense is very important to us, so you must focus! Focus!"
Renesse finished, looked at Rubio and Fernandez, and then said, "In the position of the guard, we have an advantage, especially the point guard position. So during the game, we must impose on the opponent's ball controller. Pressure, to force him to make a mistake! Yunas made a mistake just now, he called a timeout immediately after grabbing a defensive rebound, instead of requesting a timeout after driving the ball through halftime, in this case, after the game started, it will be served in the backcourt and we will also have more opportunities to stop them from advancing!"
The Chinese team does not have a strong point guard, so he has always been more afraid of the opponent's tight game. The backcourt has more room for full-court pressing, which is also an advantage for the Spanish team.
The referee signaled that the timeout was over and the athlete walked into the court again.
"Huh? That's Zhang Guan! He is here!"
I don't know who yelled, and at the next moment, a voice also sounded on the big sound of the scene, "The Chinese team is asking for a substitution. No. 12 Zhang Guan replaced No. 5, Liu Wei!"
"Wow, what did you just say? Zhang Guan came on! I heard it right!"
"Zhang Guan, Yunas even sent Zhang Guan to play."
"In the last forty seconds or so, why did Yunus send Zhang Guan to play? Doesn't he want to win?"
"Oh my God, it's Zhang Guan. Now is the most critical time for this game. Zhang Guan was sent out! Why is it, Zhang Guan!"
"Zhang Guan didn't even have a second of playing time in the previous game. Now it's time for life and death in this game, Zhang Guan was even sent on the court!"
Everyone didn't understand why Yunus sent Zhang Guan at this time. Even on CCTV's broadcast commentary, the commentator and the commentary guests were also confused, and the two didn't even know how to comment on Zhang Guan.
On the sidelines, Coach Renesse's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's Zhang Guan. Yunas sent Zhang Guan at such a critical time. Why is that? IS Zhang Guan able to play basketball? Does Yunas want to deliberately confuse us, or does he have special tactical arrangements? Oops, about Zhang Guan, we have no idea..."
Coach Renesse was caught off guard. Zhang Guan was unknown to him. In the basketball court, any unknown is a hidden danger, and now is the last and most critical moment of the game. Any hidden danger may cause a final crash.
"Hopefully this is Yunas' bluff, deliberately confusing me!"
...
On the court, the Spanish men's basketball players also looked dumbfounded.
Among the Chinese team players, not many of them can call their names, but Zhang Guan is one of them. With Zhang Guan's reputation, athletes from all over the world know Zhang Guan, but no one can guess that at this critical time, Zhang Guan would come out.
The other Spanish players are better, but Rubio, the "Golden Boy" as the Spanish point guard, is at a loss.
"Why did it change to Zhang Guan? The coach asked me to stare at No. 5 and put pressure on No. 5. Now that No. 5 is replaced by Zhang Guan? What should I do? Is Zhang Guan playing point guard or shooting guard, the team's No. 9 (Sun Yue) also seems to be able to control the ball? Should I mark the No? 9?" While Rubio was thinking, he saw that Fernandez had found Sun Yue.
"Okay, it seems that I'm still the one to guard Zhang Zhang. So how do I fight? Or use the original full-court tactics?" Rubio decided to continue to follow the original tactics before receiving new tactical instructions. The tactical arrangement of Zhang Guan's pressing defense.
The game restarted, the Yi Jianlian inbounded to Zhang Guan, and then ran towards the frontcourt. Zhang Guan dribbled ready to start after receiving the ball but saw a figure has rushed to the front, almost leaning against him leaned over.
"Oh, here is a young handsome guy, Rubio! Is this posture to press the whole audience? You look down on me too!" Zhang Guan did not hesitate and chose to accelerate directly when Rubio approached. He accelerates the breakthrough.
Rubio only felt that the figure in front of him flickered, and Zhang Guan was gone. He turned around hurriedly and found that Zhang Guan had begun to throw away himself, and the dribble rushed to the frontcourt.
"He rushed through without reacting at all!" Rubio was taken aback.
...
"Breakthrough!" CCTV's narrator suddenly shouted, the voice was full of excitement and incredible, he did not expect Zhang Guan to break Rubio's tight defense so easily.
Indeed, from the perspective of the commentator's view, Zhang Guan's breakthrough was extremely easy. He only passed through Rubio with acceleration, and there was no fancy at all in his action, which was simply a crush on speed.
The audience suddenly boiled, as long as the opponent used the entire press, the audience will always have a feeling of fear, fear of losing the ball, and this time Rubio's pressing was resolved by Zhang Guan, and Rubio still found it hard to figure out how he was blown away.
Rubio also made a mistake. His pressing defense was originally intended to be used against Liu Wei. If the opponent is Liu Wei, both the defensive strength and the pressure applied are sufficient. Zhang Guan will replace Liu Wei after the timeout. But Rubio still uses the rhythm and intensity of defensive Liu Wei to defend Zhang Guan. Between Zhang Guan and Liu Wei, the speeds are very different, of course, Rubio is directly eaten by Zhang Guan with speed.
On the sidelines, Coach Renesses also felt tight.
"The speed is so fast, Rubio was passed, and Rubio was passed by the speed alone. I understand that Yunas put Zhang Guan on the court to break the full-court press. At the speed of Zhang Guan, the whole court pressing really can't restrain him. Oops, Rubio was left behind by Zhang Guan, there is a gap in the frontcourt, Zhang Guan is going to attack the rim directly! Make up for defense!"
As Renesses expected, Zhang Guan rushed to the basket with the fastest speed. Although Rubio was struggling to catch up, he still could not keep up with Zhang Guan's footsteps.
In the frontcourt, several players of the national team have already moved beyond the three-point line. Even Yao did not continue to stay around the three-second zone but moved to a position close to the three-point line. The Spanish team was afraid of the Chinese team's shooting ability, and they all followed and defended. Therefore, there is a large block of empty space under the basket, and Zhang Guan can drive straight into it.
"Rubio was breached by Zhang Guan. The speed is good, it's not good. You must hurry up!" Reached.
"Is Yao asking for the ball? This position is also within the range of Yao. If he doesn't catch the ball and I don't keep up, Yao will score by eight or nine." Marc Gasol hesitated when he was thinking whether to abandon Yao and go forward to defend, or to continue to stare at Yao.
"Quick switch!" Coach Renesse's voice suddenly sounded.
"Still have to make up the defense! Can't let Zhang Guan score." Marc Gasol immediately abandoned Yao and ran to the basket.
However, it was at this time that Zhang Guan had crossed the free throw line and then jumped high.
Layup!
It went in!
