Chapter 130: Final overtime, actual buzzer beater!
Chapter 130
When the team was in desperate situation, Wang Yan once again turned the tide and dragged the game into overtime.
At the moment when Kobe made the near-game-winning shot, many Chinese fans were in despair.
Although there are many highlights of buzzer beaters and comebacks in high-level matches, they are edited from a large number of games.
In reality, buzzer beaters are still very rare.
Especially when facing a high-intensity defense like the Dream Team.
So many fans covered their eyes, and even the Chinese players on the bench couldn't bear to watch it.
"Bullshit! Bullshit!"
"Wang Yan, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
"MVP!"
All the fans at the scene cheered for Wang Yan's wonderful buzzer-beater, including American fans.
Even the enemies were defeated by Wang Yan.
Kobe watched Wang Yan make the buzzer-beater, smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
He originally thought that he would become the hero of the team, but a few seconds later, he became Wang Yan's background board and stepping stone!
Wang Yan is the only hero of the whole game!
The teammates all rushed over to hug Wang Yan.
Even Deng Huade was so excited that he knelt down and clenched his fists.
However, Wang Yan had a clear mind.
Amid the cheers of the audience, he reminded his teammates: "Don't get excited! We haven't won yet!"
The teammates were stunned. Indeed, now they are back to the same starting line.
Although this is already a highlight moment for the Chinese men's basketball team, the athletes' only belief on the court is to strive for victory!
"Wang Yan is right, we still have to work harder!"
"Five more minutes!"
"The Celestial Empire will win!"
With Wang Yan's encouragement, the teammates seemed to be energized, cheering with their arms raised and their eyes red!
When the game reaches this point, it all depends on which side has stronger willpower.
To be honest, the superstars of the Dream Team were also a little discouraged.
It’s bad enough that he was suppressed in the NBA games, but why is he still overshadowed by Wang Yan in the Olympics?
Is Wang Yan really the nemesis of all NBA players?
In addition to Kobe, many Dream Team players began to have doubts in their hearts.
After a few minutes of rest, overtime begins!
Since the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team rested for almost the entire fourth quarter, they had recovered most of their physical strength.
The overtime began and the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the court.
In other words, Wang Yan didn’t rest for even a minute in the second half!
What an iron man!
Liu Yifei was wiping tears in the audience. She really felt sorry for Wang Yan, but at the same time, she was also proud of Wang Yan!
The Dream Team's starting lineup was not the starting lineup. In addition to James and Kobe, Coach K sent out Love, Anthony and Westbrook.
Chandler was rubbed by Wang Yan on the court, which really didn't have any effect.
At least Love has a three-point shot, which can create space.
Durant was also abandoned by K.
Although his offense was very strong, Durant was a little scared facing Wang Yan and could not display his usual strength at all.
In Northeastern dialect, it means "damn it"!
James' performance was actually average, and he was severely suppressed by Wang Yan, but at least he was okay on the defensive end, and he had a good sense of the overall situation, and he had a good understanding of the cooperation with Kobe.
Jump ball in the center circle.
Wang Yan easily grabbed the ball and passed it to Abdul-Jabbar.
Alian passed the ball to Sun Yue and advanced to the frontcourt.
The fans were all waiting to see if Wang Yan would make another alley-oop in overtime.
Logically speaking, it's overtime now, so we should save our energy.
But Wang Yan still brought a surprise to the fans!
Wang Yan pushed Love away and rushed to the basket, and Sun Yue passed the ball to him.
James wanted to commit an offensive foul on Wang Yan, so he stood in Wang Yan's offensive route in advance.
But Wang Yan quickly dodged, bypassed James, grabbed the ball in the air and performed a back dunk!
boom!
It's already overtime, can you still dunk?
There was jubilation at the scene. Even those who were not fans of the Chinese Communist Party were conquered by Wang Yan and applauded warmly!
109:107, the Chinese men's basketball team takes the lead!
James held the ball in the backcourt, ready to advance, but Wang Yan suddenly moved forward and blocked James.
This was the first time in the game that Wang Yan pressed the entire court, which scared James.
In a panic, James also wanted to turn around and dribble past the opponent.
However, Wang Yan's movement speed was too fast, coupled with his long arms, snap!
He actually intercepted James' ball.
James' physical strength has also declined a bit, so his ball protection is not as stable.
In a hurry, James immediately launched a counterattack, but Wang Yan accelerated and left James behind, rushing into the penalty area and scoring a layup.
At the beginning of the overtime, Wang Yan gave his opponent a warning and scored four points in a row!
111: 107!
Coach K’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
How can we still play this game?
He shouted loudly on the sidelines: "What are you doing? This is the final! The final! Cheer up!"
Coach K is a very easy-going person, and his usual coaching style is soft-spoken.
That's because the Dream Team is basically not threatened.
But today, Coach K was really pushed into a corner, lost his composure, and became extremely angry.
The Dream Team perked up under the coach's shout.
James didn't dare to stick to the ball anymore and passed it to Kobe in advance.
Kobe played very smartly. When he saw three Chinese players rushing towards him, he immediately passed the ball to Anthony through the gap between them.
Melo performed very well in international competitions, and he made a pull-up shot under the defense of Yi Jianlian!
Swish!
Got two points.
This goal saved some face for the Dream Team.
Kobe is actually very good at passing the ball, but when his teammates are not in good shape, he will shoot under pressure.
111:109.
The score was close and the atmosphere was suffocating.
The Chinese men's basketball team attacked, and the Dream Team also pressed the entire court.
Under Westbrook's strict defense, Sun Yue didn't dare to dribble the ball too much and passed it to Zhu Fangyu.
Just as Zhu Fangyu was about to shoot, Kobe rushed over, so he had to pass the ball to Wang Yan again.
Head coach Deng Huade shook his head slightly on the sidelines. It seems that no one else can help!
When Wang Yan received the ball, he was double-teamed by James and Anthony and almost failed to catch it.
Faced with the double-team, Wang Yanxian took two steps back.
James knew that Wang Yan's three-point shot was very accurate, so he didn't dare to let go and immediately followed closely.
Suddenly, Wang Yan accelerated and rushed from Anthony's side. Anthony hurriedly used his strong body to block Wang Yan.
But Wang Yan's body was much tougher than his, and with a bang, Anthony was knocked to the ground.
beep!
The referee whistle blows.
Anthony and James thought the referee had called an offensive foul on Wang Yan and shouted excitedly.
Unexpectedly, the referee pointed at Anthony!
Block the foul!
The two men became anxious and rushed to the referee, indicating that Wang Yan had committed an offensive foul.
But the referee was unmoved.
Love and Westbrook quickly came over and pulled the two apart.
Wang Yan smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that today's refereeing was still very fair.
Just now Anthony moved a little too slowly and was out of position, so strictly speaking, it was indeed a blocking foul.
Since the number of fouls had reached, Wang Yan went to the free throw line.
Two free throws made! 113:109.
The situation is not favorable for the Dream Team.
Dream Team Offense.
It has to be Kobe.
He received a breakthrough pass from Westbrook and took a three-pointer in the corner, whoosh!
113: 112!
Only one point difference, the suspense is still there!
Kobe fans at the scene shouted excitedly.
Kobe had a blank expression on his face. He knew that his opponent today was Wang Yan and that he was in great danger.
Wang Yan noticed that Kobe's pace was actually a bit slow, after all, he was only 34 years old.
But Kobe still stood up with his skillful techniques!
It can be said that if Kobe was not there, this dream team would probably only win the bronze medal.
Maybe we can’t even get past Spain.
In the parallel world before Wang Yan traveled through time, the final was between the Dream Team and Spain, and the result was a narrow victory of 107:100.
In that game, Durant scored 30 points, Kobe scored 17 points, and James scored 19 points.
In today's game, Kobe has scored 33 points, Durant only got a pitiful 14 points and couldn't even play in overtime, and James has only scored 8 points so far.
This shows how much Wang Yan suppresses Durant and James.
. . . .
在加时赛还剩1分37秒的时候,双方比分来到118:116,梦之队领先2分。
The main reason was that Wang Yan passed the ball to his teammates in two wide-open spots, but neither Zhu Fangyu nor Abdul-Jabbar made the shot.
On the Dream Team side, Kobe scored one, Anthony scored one, and Love also scored one under the basket, so they overtook the score.
Although there is only a 2-point difference, the Dream Team's advantage has already emerged, that is, their average strength is too strong.
As for the Chinese men's basketball team, except for Wang Yan, the others are really not strong enough.
The Chinese fans at the scene were all sighing and regretting. It seemed that Wang Yan was really going to be exhausted to death today!
Wang Yan did not blame his teammates. Instead, he continued to encourage them, telling them not to get discouraged, and then called the final timeout.
During the timeout, Wang Yan took the initiative to put his arm around his teammates' shoulders and shouted, "Don't treat this game as a final, just treat it as training! Shoot boldly!"
That's what you say, but when the physical strength is almost exhausted, collective errors are inevitable.
After the timeout, Wang Dazhi and Sun Yue were substituted because they could no longer run.
Zhou Peng and Guo Ailun appeared on the court again to have a final fight with Wang Yan, A Lian and Zhu Fangyu!
The Chinese men’s basketball team attacks.
Since Wang Yan just passed the ball to his teammates but none of them made the shot, the Dream Team players double-teamed Wang Yan even more unscrupulously, and they already had three people double-teaming him.
Wang Yan did not take it lightly and passed the ball through the gap between people to Zhou Peng who had just come on the court!
Zhou Peng’s characteristic is that he has good shooting skills, but he is a bit thin.
After receiving the pass from Wang Yan'e, Zhou Peng shot calmly in an absolutely wide-open space, whoosh!
He did not disappoint Wang Yan and got two points!
This goal is very important, which shows that Wang Yan still has helpers, and it also fully demonstrates Wang Yan's overall view.
At the same time, it also shows Wang Yan's trust in his teammates.
Trust is the best catalyst that can greatly boost the confidence of teammates!
After Zhou Peng scored a goal, he let out a long sigh and took the initiative to rush over and high-five Wang Yan to celebrate.
"Good job!"
Wang Yan encouraged him.
118 flat!
With 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game, the two teams tied again!
The pressure is on the Dream Team.
The fans at the scene were all wondering, are they going to have to play a second overtime?
This is too intense...
Dream Team Offense.
Westbrook broke through with the ball again, but Guo Ailun refused to give way. The two collided and fell to the ground.
This time the referee called a blocking foul on Guo Ailun.
Westbrook made one of two free throws, 119:118.
There are 56 seconds left in the game.
It's the suffocating final moment again.
Wang Yan did not block for the ball, but kept running around the baseline.
This is the best way to escape a double team.
Sure enough, James, Anthony, and Love were dizzy due to Wang Yan's running.
With 7 seconds left in the offensive time, Wang Yan used the cover of his teammates to run to the left side of the paint area.
Alian immediately passed the ball over.
James's speed was not slow either. As soon as Wang Yan received the ball, he rushed over and defended him closely.
Wang Yan used a cross-leg dribble while moving in the opposite direction.
This operation imitates McGrady, and is what Wang Yan usually does during training.
But it was really used today, and James was tricked into jumping in the wrong direction.
Wang Yan took advantage of this opportunity and made a pull-up shot!
Unfortunately, it went a little off as soon as it was launched.
My physical strength has decreased a bit, which causes soreness in my legs.
Boom!
The basketball hit the front of the hoop and bounced up.
Just when Love got into position and was about to grab the rebound, a loud roar suddenly came to his ears!
"Let me in!"
Wang Yan knew the shot was off target, so he rushed over in advance and dunked over Love's head!
boom!
What a bully!
120: 119!
The Chinese men's basketball team took the lead again.
Coach Zhang was so excited that he waved his arms and shouted loudly in the VIP room on the sidelines: "Wang Yan! Wang Yan! You are so awesome!"
Yu Jia was stunned watching from the side. Although he was also very excited, it was the first time he saw Coach Zhang so crazy!
After Wang Yan scored a goal, he signaled to his teammates not to celebrate and to quickly return to defense!
After all, the difference was only 1 point.
There are 37 seconds left in the game.
It's that critical moment again, and both sides have one chance.
The Dream Team players exchanged glances and passed the ball back to Kobe.
It seems that Kobe is still the most stable one in the Dream Team.
Moreover, he has a very strong psychological quality, he will never show mercy and will vote resolutely!
This is Kobe!
Wang Yan was almost entangled by the two men, and Kobe dribbled the ball slowly facing the double-team of Zhu Fangyu and Guo Ailun.
With only 3 seconds left in the offensive time, Kobe suddenly changed direction and broke through the two men.
Both of them thought Kobe would force a shot, but Kobe chose to break through.
By the time they tried to stop it, it was too late.
Kobe rushed into the penalty area, facing Zhou Peng's help defense, he made a fake move, then changed hands and made a layup, snap!
Hit the rebound and get two points!
It was almost the last minute, what a big heart!
The fans at the scene cheered again, applauding Kobe's buzzer-beater.
This scene seemed to have come back to the last moment of the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Wang Yan was given 8 seconds to tie the game.
Now Wang Yan has 14 seconds left.
The Chinese men's basketball team had no more timeouts, and Wang Yan was not in a hurry. He directly advanced with the ball in the backcourt.
The Dream Team double-teamed Wang Yan again to prevent him from advancing.
Wang Yan accelerated and rushed to the front court.
But he did not rush to attack, but slowly dribbled the ball near the right sideline.
The superstars of the Dream Team were very nervous because Wang Yan got the ball again. What was he going to do?
Time passed by second by second... 6 seconds... 5 seconds... 4 seconds...
With 2 seconds left in the game, Wang Yan started!
He used his strong body to protect the ball, crossed over James' block, and got to the free throw line.
Just as Love rushed forward with his hands raised high, he took a mid-range shot!
The basketball reaches the highest point, the timing lights come on, and it’s the buzzer again!
Can this ball go in?
If you enter.
That would be the kill of the century!
