Chapter 1316 World Cup Champion, Chinese Team!
But fortunately for the US team, the ball bounced and landed on the field, and Leonard quickly caught the ball with his eyesight and hands.
Moreover, the overall poor tactical quality of the Chinese team was also exposed.
With this unexpected dunk, Durant ran to the bottom corner under cover and had an open chance.
Leonard passed the ball, and Tang Tian followed suit.
Durant took the ball and took off, Tang Tian bypassed the pick-and-roll and flew over.
His speed was still a bit slower, and Durant had already completed the shot when he jumped.
The ball traced a parabola in the air.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, the ball hit the net.
Durant's key three-pointer, go again!
In the past three minutes, he scored all 7 points of the US team!
And the goal went in and out, and the US team evened the score!
Now there are only 10 seconds left in the game. As long as the US team defends a wave, it is tantamount to dragging the game into overtime!
For the U.S. team, which has plenty of physical fitness and better overall strength, playing overtime is obviously more beneficial to them.
Now it depends on whether the Chinese team can grasp the last 10 seconds.
Li Chunjiang stretched out his hand and called a timeout.
In the Wukesong Stadium, the fans could no longer sit still. They all stood up and looked at the Chinese team's bench from time to time.
The next 10 seconds are likely to be the 10 seconds that determine the basketball history of the Chinese team.
But the nervousness is the nervousness, they are still full of confidence in the Chinese team.
Not only because they have Tang Tian, but also because the Chinese team has been hot outside in the past three or four minutes.
Moreover, it is also possible for Tang Tian to possess James. When he played Cameroon before, it was Tang Tian who assisted Ding Yan Yuhang and hit a three-pointer to get close to the quarterfinals.
Back from the timeout, the Chinese team's frontcourt ball.
The scene suddenly fell silent, including Su Qun and Zhang Weiping in the commentary booth, who also stopped to explain at this moment.
Not to mention the fans at the scene, even the fans in front of the TV can feel the sense of selling smoke that fills the scene.
This is really a living battlefield, and the kind where the bayonets have been fought until the ground is covered with blood.
For the sideline ball in the frontcourt of the Chinese team, Tang Tian served from the sideline.
The Chinese team ran a tactic, Tang Tian successfully passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, and then ran out to get the ball.
9 seconds.
Others opened up the space one after another.
At this time, the US team's defensive tactics had an obvious change.
They didn't have a high-intensity defense against Tang Tianshang, not even double-teaming, but Leonard was defending alone.
Popovich is still a very keen person. He has already noticed that the Chinese team's outside shooting rate is very unreasonable.
Although I can't tell what it is, it feels like the person who receives Tang Tian's pass will definitely be able to throw the ball in.
So he adjusted his defensive strategy, even though it might have seemed silly to others.
But he made a choice.
Tang Tian wanted to praise his mentor at this time, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people have.
Then he chose to wear a butterfly step and break through Leonard unmatched.
In the krypton gold system, Leonard is the person with defensive skills second only to Olajuwon.
Olajuwon has already retired, and he is the strongest defender in active service.
And Leonard is now at the peak of his career.
The strongest offense against the strongest defense determines the final ownership of the World Cup champion.
The fans watching this scene stopped breathing.
Leonard's excellent anticipation and wingspan prevented Tang Tian from being unrivaled.
This was one of the rare times Tang Tian was guarded.
The strongest defense lives up to its name.
But Tang Tian obviously knew more than this move, he pulled the ball back, and his body also returned to normal.
Leonard struggled to keep up.
But his center of gravity wavered a bit.
After Tang Tian saw it, he chose to turn around, rely on hitting, and turn around again.
Leonard couldn't keep up with the swing of his center of gravity.
There is not much time left for this series of technical movements, but the flower-crossing butterfly step + unrivaled + turning and leaning back.
Tang Tian finally managed to get rid of Leonard's defense!
In the confrontation between the spear and the shield, the spear finally gained the upper hand.
Tang Tian is an offensive textbook. He knows too much. Even if Leonard has the strongest defense, it is difficult to defend alone.
Tang Tian turned around and leaned back to shoot the ball. Not long after the ball left his hand, the red light on the sidelines followed.
The scene seemed to stand still at this moment.
Everyone stared at the basketball spinning in the air.
Time slows down like Jay Chou casts the magic of stopping time in a slam dunk.
"Shua!"
Finally, there was a crisp sound.
Tang Tian's lore shot hit!
Just like he did in previous games.
"Go in! Go in! Tang Tian beat the US team! The Chinese team is the world champion!"
At this time, Su Qun started Yang Jian's roar.
At this moment, as a senior basketball media person, he couldn't calm down.
Zhang Weiping on the side was instantly reddened, his body trembled slightly, and he was speechless.
They also experienced such a scene in 2016, but the difference is that this time it was at their own home court, in front of their own family members, and at the door of their house!
After Su Qun, the fans at Wukesong and in front of the TV all raised their hands and cheered, and many of them burst into tears with excitement.
The dormitories of those universities were even more covered by the screams of fans.
This moment is the most exciting and proud moment for all Chinese fans!
The Chinese team, following the Rio Olympics, once again defeated the US team in the Men's Basketball World Cup.
The Olympic champion, plus the World Cup champion, this is the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history!
The players on and off the field all rushed to Tang Tian's side at this time, cheering and shouting at him.
This also includes the always shy Yi Jianlian.
At this moment, no one wants to keep a low profile!
They just want to shout at the camera, the Chinese team is the world champion!
The Chinese team was celebrating crazily. On the other side, the members of the American team looked unbelievable and unacceptable.
Before the game, no one thought that the game would be so fierce, and they never thought that they would be reversed after leading in the last five minutes.
It all seems so unscientific.
And compared to lost, they are now more confused.
Losing in Rio, people going to nightclubs before the game, that's not the best team for Team USA...they can come up with a lot of reasons.
But this time in China, they have avoided these reasons. The strongest lineup and even the head coach are the strongest in the NBA.
Even the referee's penalty in this game did not have a home whistle.
But in the end, they still lost.
In the Olympic Games next year, they still have a chance to take revenge, but they don't even know how to do so at this moment.
Popovich also seems to have aged a lot at once.
His sideburns, which were full of white hair, looked indescribably old at the moment.
His final choice was not wrong, but those who did not make mistakes may not necessarily have the last laugh.
