On the sidelines, Coach Yunas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Almost forgot, Zhang Guan doesn't seem to be able to shoot, let alone a free throw. If a foul is committed on Zhang Guan and he is allowed to execute the free throw, maybe he will miss two free throws. Hurry up and replace! "
Although there are some skill points in Zhang Guan, he has not learned the skills in shooting. In the previous men's basketball training camp, Zhang Guan has always said that his shooting is only at an amateur level, so the men's basketball team knows that Zhang Guan will not shoot.
But it is the same, letting other men's basketball players breathe a sigh of relief. A person who has never received formal basketball training has such a powerful breakthrough and breakthrough points, which has exceeded everyone's normal understanding of basketball. If he still shoots accurately, Zhang Guan may be regarded as a monster.
The Spanish team fouled. Coach Yunas took advantage of this opportunity to quickly replace Zhang Guan and replace the players who are good at free throws.
The moment Zhang Guan walked down the stadium, the fans stood up and gave Zhang Guan the warmest applause. They knew that Zhang Guan might be the biggest contributor to this game. Although Zhang Guan only scored 4 points, and although Zhang Guan only participated in two rounds of offense, Zhang Guan's 4 points were the most important to when the national team needs to score the most, it is worth a lot.
Then the Chinese team continued to play. After a misplaced defense, Yao received the ball, and the foul was also committed to Yao's head. Yao is the only center in the NBA to perform tactical free throws, with a point guard-like free throw percentage, and Yao did not disappoint the fans. With two free throws, the point difference again came to four points.
At this time, there were less than seven seconds left until the end of the game, which was the service just now, and the Spanish team spent more than a second.
In less than seven seconds, to chase a 4-pointer, the Spanish team can only fight hard, and grabbing a 3-pointer is their only chance.
Renesse decisively called a timeout, arranged a set of tactics, and replaced Navarro with a three-point ability guard. When the game starts again, except for Gasol Jr. who grabbed an offensive rebound on the inside, the other four people all can shoot three-pointers.
Rubio passed the ball to Fernandes, Fernandes made a three-pointer, but unfortunately, the ball was short, and Gasol Jr. tried to put the ball outside the three-point line. Rubio grabbed the ball again and shot a three-pointer, however it still didn't go in. At this point, he almost reached the rim and grabbed this crucial defensive rebound.
The Spanish team didn't foul anymore, with 1.5 seconds left in the game at this time, the foul also lost its meaning. 78-74, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team and won the first victory in the Olympic Games!
...
On the bus to the Wukesong basketball court, members of the Mengba team were either listening to music or chatting with each other, which seemed very easy.
The upcoming opponent of the Mengba team is the Angola men's basketball team. It can be said that it is the weakest team among the twelve teams participating in the Olympic Games. Of course, these big names from the NBA will not take the Angola men's basketball team seriously.
At this time, the phone of the team leader Colangelo rang and he immediately answered the sound. After a while, Colangelo turned around and said to Shashevsky who was sitting in the back, "The previous game between Spain and China has already finished."
"Oh? What's the score?" Shashevsky asked with raised eyelids.
"78-74," Colangelo answered in Rome.
"Oh, it sounds like the Spaniard is a little out of shape, only winning the Chinese team by four points," Shashevsky said.
"The Spaniards are indeed in a state of absence." Colangelo continued, "But they didn't even win by four points. They lost. The winner is Chinese."
"What did you say?" Shashevsky almost jumped from the seat.
...
The men's basketball game against Spain was held at 16-45, so after the game, it was less than seven o'clock in the evening, and news reports about the game also caught up with the seven o'clock broadcast that day.
The men's basketball victory over the Spanish team is undoubtedly an upset for the Olympics. You know that the Spanish team won the championship in the World Championships two years ago. It is considered to be a strong team after the US team. The men's basketball team can beat the Spanish men's basketball team. It is unimaginable.
And this is the first time the men's basketball team has beaten the Spanish team. For the men's basketball team, the victory over the Spanish team made the road of their group qualifying smoother.
At the same time, various media are discussing this matter, and there is even more praise on the Internet.
"The men's basketball team is awesome. In the face of such a powerful team in Spain, they dare to fight and dare to play and stick to the end!
"We not only won the game today but also won the future. The performance of the men's basketball shows us that as long as we unite, we can overcome the difficulties."
"Today's performance of the men's basketball team is really beyond my expectations. Although I didn't go to watch the live broadcast of the game, I know that this game must be very difficult! Men's basketball players, continue to cheer!"
This time, no one questioned whether Zhang Guan was eligible to be a member of the men's basketball team. Everyone who has watched that game knows that although Zhang Guan played less than a minute, although he only scored 4 points, he scored at the most critical time. It was these 4 points that helped the men's basketball team to resist Spain. The team's desperate counterattack helped the men's basketball team win the final victory.
"Zhang Guan is the biggest hero of the men's basketball team. At the last minute, the Spanish team is about to catch up with the score. It was with Zhang Guan's two breakthroughs that he kept the score at 4 points."
"I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be so good at playing basketball. It was just like playing the Spanish Golden Boy!"
"Don't you see it, he buckles Gasol! The height of the two men is 20 centimeters, but Gasol didn't take any advantage of it!"
"It is Zhang Guan, who always brings surprises to me. I was still questioning whether he should play basketball. Now think about it, I have no eyes! I decided, no matter what Zhang Guan does in the future, I will support him!"
"No wonder the Basketball Association wants Zhang Guan to join the men's basketball team. It turns out that the Basketball Association has long known the power of Zhang Guan. This time I have to compliment the Basketball Association! The Basketball Association has finally done a beautiful thing! "
"When playing with the US team before, Zhang Guan didn't play. It must have been Yunas' intentional purpose. Yunas didn't want to expose Zhang Guan's strength. The result happened to be a surprise for Spain! I guess if it was not tied by Spain after the score, Yunus may continue to hide Zhang Guan!"
"It's a pity that Zhang Guan only played less than a minute. I also hope to see more of Zhang Guan's performance. In the next game, I hope they give Zhang Guan more playing time."
In Spain in Europe, the people are already boiling at this time. The Spanish people clearly cannot accept the result of losing to the Chinese team. Some people even ran to the Spanish Basketball Association to protest and demanded that the Spanish Basketball Association chairman step down.
The Spanish Basketball Association had already been criticized when the meritorious coach Hernandez was fired more than a month ago, so the Spanish people immediately pushed the reason for this defeat to the coaching change.
