Chapter 418: Four overtime

"Are we going to say goodbye to the World Championships this way?" Durant looked unwilling, as the boss of the Dream Nine team, he once dreamed of leading the American team to regain the world championship after a ten-year absence, and accomplish what those predecessors did not do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info, however, is a vivid lesson in the harsh reality.

Shashewski forcibly kept his composure, as the most well-known coach in the United States, he has experienced countless ups and downs, seen too many big scenes, and has faced adversity many times, but in such an important arena, he lost twice in a row at the hands of one person, and Shashewski is the first time he has encountered it.

"The referee has returned to the table!" I don't know who shouted, everyone immediately looked over, only to see a number "1" appear on the timer.

"One second! After watching the video, the referee decided to give a 1-second return to the table! One second is too short to complete an attack, and this should be the last one second of the World Championships for the United States! ā€

Deng Huade looked at this number, a little unhappy, it is said that this time the return to the table is at most a few tenths of a second, and the referee gave 1 full second, which is obviously beyond the normal range, and it seems that he wants to give the American team a little more time.

However, Deng Huade confidently thinks about it, 1 second is not enough time for the American team to turn the tables. If it's in the NBA, a comeback of less than one second will always happen once or twice a season, and even on the playoff stage, because in the last two minutes of the NBA, you can serve in the middle after a timeout. But in the World Championships, you can only serve on the baseline, and 1 second is too short.

The U.S. made another substitution, with Love, Gay and Westbrook coming on to replace Odom, Billups and Rose. Coupled with Iguodala and Durant, these five men represent almost the greatest physical gifts of the U.S. team.

When Lefu stood on the baseline and prepared to make a free throw, the players of the Chinese team had already realized that the American team was preparing to use an aerial relay to achieve a comeback.

In 1 second, you have to serve from the baseline, and the serve air relay is undoubtedly the means with the highest chance of scoring. Throwing the frontcourt directly after grabbing a defensive rebound is Lefou's housekeeping skill, and the task of throwing the opponent's basket directly on the baseline serve can only be completed by Lefou.

As for the air relay, Durant and Guy are both suitable. Durant's height and physical fitness make it easy to complete an aerial relay. Guy, on the other hand, has an impressive reach and incredible jump, he can dunk from the free-throw line, and the aerial relay is not difficult for him.

"Defend Durant and Gay!" Deng Huade issued an order as soon as possible.

……

Lefu has never felt that the burden on his body is so heavy.

As an interior player and the core of the Timberwolves, he's been tasked with saving the team many times, but those have been shooting the killer shot or grabbing the most crucial rebound. But today, he has to do the point guard thing and save the team by serving.

Lefu took a deep breath, chose a landing point, took a half-step back slightly, and threw the ball directly.

"Block Durant!"

"Stop Guy!"

"Don't let Iguodala pass!"

The players of the Chinese team stubbornly resisted the opponent and did not let them move a single bit.

"Damn! Entangled by this Chinese! Rudy Gay looked at the air in annoyance, the basketball had already flown over, and Lefou's choice of landing point was very good, with Gay's bouncing ability, as long as he could get rid of defenders, he could easily complete an aerial relay.

"Let me pass!" Durant squeezed over like crazy, and Zhou Peng was almost squeezed down by Durant in the physical confrontation, but at this time in the game, no one cared about this, and everyone's attention was all on basketball.

"Oops, it's too late!" Durant watched as the ball got closer and closer to the basket, and he was too late to run past it.

"Team USA is finished!" Seeing Durant blocked, almost everyone had this idea.

At this moment, a body suddenly flew over!

Indeed, for humans, this can really be described as "flying".

"Westbrook! Relay in the air! ā€

There was an exclamation from the audience.

I saw Wei Shao grab the ball, and then gently push it in the direction of the basket, and his body lost his balance in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"Did the ball go in?" People look at the baskets.

I saw the basketball roll on the basket twice, and then slowly stopped.

At this moment, it was as if time had stood still.

"I'm going to get in!"

"Don't go in!"

Everyone's heart hung in the air.

"Bang!"

The ball rolled into the basket anyway.

"The ball is in! The air relay, the ball worked, and at the last second, 128 to 128, it was deuced! It's a deuce again! We're going to see a fourth overtime! ā€

"It's not Durant, it's not Iguodala, it's not Guy, it's Westbrook! Westbrook pulled the U.S. team back from the brink of defeat! ā€

……

On the bench, Shhashevsky breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Durant and Guy were blocked, he really thought that the American team had lost the game, and Westbrook's sudden air relay was not in Shawzewski's plan.

With a center-tall forward like Durant, a spring man like Guy, and an all-around fighter like Iguodala, Shashefski certainly wouldn't expect the shortest point guard to pull off the aerial relay, but Westbrook had a big surprise.

"Russell [Westbrook's] physical gifts are horrible, and I think it won't be long before he's the No. 1 point guard in the NBA!" Shashewski sighed softly.

The assistant coach next to him was slightly surprised, and now the No. 1 point guard in the NBA is of course Paul, and in the future, this position obviously belongs to Rose.

"Does the coach think Westbrook has more potential than Rose?" The assistant coach looked surprised, and he lowered his voice and said, "I think Russell is still a long way from being the world's No. 1 point guard." ā€

"I'm talking about the No. 1 point guard in the NBA, not the No. 1 point guard in the world!" Shashefsky added.

"Isn't NBA No. 1 the world?" The assistant coach asked puzzled.

"Nope! The world number one is still on the pitch, in our opponent's squad! It is almost impossible to surpass him. Shashewski looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "To play the fourth overtime, we must win the Chinese team in one go, and there must be no fifth overtime!" (To be continued.) )
