Chapter 795 Unlimited physical strength

The U.S. team, which escaped from the dead, was celebrating wildly. Love and Westbrook obviously became the great heroes of the U.S. team and were surrounded by everyone.

"Russell (Westbrook), how did you do it! It happened to be where the ball landed at that time!" Iguodala asked happily.

"I know Kevin (Love) will definitely throw the ball to that position! Don't forget we used to be teammates!" Westbrook said.

Westbrook and Love both attended the University of California, Los Angeles in their college days. They have led the school team to the NCAA semi-finals many times, so there is a certain tacit understanding between the two.

Durant also looked elated. Others may be surprised by Westbrook's talent, but Durant will not be like this. He knows how amazing his teammate is. , given time, Westbrook will definitely become a superstar in the NBA.

"The fourth overtime is about to start. I really didn't expect this game to be so difficult. It will be the fourth overtime, but I will never allow the fifth overtime!" Du Rand clenched his fists tightly.

...

A few minutes later, Durant sat on the bench, panting heavily.

"Damn it, it's really going to be the fifth overtime."

The score not far away shows that the score of the two sides is 134 to 134, which means that in the fifth overtime game, the two sides each only scored six points, which is not a high hit rate.

For the Chinese team, the backup center roughly left the field with five fouls in this quarter, and Zhang Zhaoxu, who is 2.21 meters tall, roughly appeared in the center position as a substitute, which can be regarded as maintaining the height advantage of the Chinese team inside.

Counting Dayao, Ah Lian and Sun Yue who were in the previous position, the Chinese team has 1 injured and 3 five offenders left the field, and 4 people have been reduced.

Zhou Peng and Ding Jinhui also had four fouls and one three fouls. At this time, Deng Huade's formation seemed stretched. Even Guo Dashao, the 17-year-old young player at the end of the bench, also got a chance to play.

The US team, on the other hand, paid a lot of physical strength.

Durant is the one who consumes the most energy. As the core of the Dream Nine team, Durant played an average of 25 minutes per game in the World Championships. Today is the final of the World Championships, so he played for a longer time. During regular time In the game, Durant played nearly 30 minutes, and in the next four overtime games, Durant stayed on the court, so today Durant played nearly 50 minutes.

The regular time of an NBA game is only 48 minutes, so Durant today is equivalent to playing a full NBA game. And since the second half of the fourth quarter, the US team has not replaced Durant, and his physical exertion is also increasing. At this time, Durant encountered the problem of insufficient physical strength. Although he can still run on the court, jump and break through, his shooting percentage has dropped very seriously due to his physical strength, which is why the US team only scored six points in the fifth overtime game.

Another person on the US team who encountered physical problems was Lamar Odom.

Odom is deeply trusted by Krzyzewski. His playing time is second only to Durant, and he is currently playing nearly 45 minutes. If it was five years ago, this might not be a big deal. Five years ago Odom's average playing time in the NBA can reach 40 minutes, but since getting married last year, Odom's physical strength has not been as good as before.

Odom's weight is about the same as Durant's, but his endurance is far inferior to Durant's. At this time, Durant still has the power to fight, but Odom really doesn't even have the power to fight.

"It seems that Odom is no longer available. I remember that Odom used to have good stamina. Since he married that woman with a big butt, he has become a soft-footed shrimp!" Billups said silently shook his head.

Odom married socialite Kohler Kardashian in 2009. Kardashian's protruding figure made many NBA stars envy Odom. However, for basketball players, Kardashian is a poison. In the eyes of many fans, Kardashian is synonymous with "destroy people".

Billups didn't laugh at Odom, he just felt sad for Odom. After all, before James, Odom was the youngest triple-double player in the NBA. Almighty King. What's more, the current Billups is not much better than Odom.

Billups' current physical condition is better than Odom's, but worse than Durant's. After all, he is 34 years old, and it is impossible for him to run on the court without any scruples like when he was young.

Krzyzewski's face was ashen. He could tell from the player's state that Odom and Billups might not be able to continue playing.

As the two oldest players in the Dream Nine team, Odom and Billups have always been deeply trusted by Krzyzewski, and they have always appeared in the starting lineup. manifested. If both of them are off the field, the Mengjiu team will lose two Dinghaishen needles at once.

"Durant's physical strength is also a hidden danger." Krzyzewski suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart. He felt that he should not be stingy in the suspension of the first few overtime games.

Krzyzewski refused to call a timeout, because he didn't want to give Zhang Guan a chance to breathe. He thought that Zhang Guan's physical strength could not last, but he ignored one point, that is, his team members also did not get a chance to breathe. . As a result, Zhang Guan hadn't left the game yet, but Odom and Billups had to leave the game to rest first.

In the fifth overtime game, the US team's lineup was Love, Durant, Iguodala, Rose and Westbrook.

...

Zhang Guan used another bottle of stamina potion and a bottle of status potion at the same time.

His playing time has reached 60 minutes, and with the continuous accumulation of playing time, the consumption of physical strength has also increased geometrically, and the rapid physical consumption has also made his state consumption become faster.

"Fortunately, I have the stamina potion to support me. Otherwise, I would not be able to move now." Zhang Guan stood up and looked at the lineup of the US team, but found that Odom and Billups did not move. Appear.

"The U.S. team has also changed players, and the replacement of the two oldest players must be due to physical problems." Zhang Guan looked at his teammates again and frowned slightly.

"The U.S. team is just experiencing physical problems, but we are about to have no one to replace!" Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. He felt that the game could no longer be dragged on endlessly.

...

At this time, Westbrook's morale was high. Not long ago, his alley-oop saved the US team, which gave him even more momentum and gave him the courage to challenge Zhang Guan. Now he took over Billups' position and faced Zhang Guan directly, choosing a one-on-one breakthrough without hesitation.

The Chinese team can't wait for Westbrook and Zhang Guan to play one-on-one, because the other players in the Chinese team are far inferior to American players in personal ability, and it is certain that they will suffer in one-on-one confrontation.

Zhang Guan was a little baffled, he didn't understand where Westbrook's confidence came from, and he dared to challenge himself one-on-one.

Westbrook tried to break through for the first time, but was unsuccessful; the second time he tried to break through, he still failed; the third time he tried to break through, the ball was directly destroyed by Zhang Guan, and the US team's attack also ended in failure.

The U.S. team retreated quickly, but the Chinese team's advance speed was obviously half a beat slower. When Zhang Guan dribbled the ball across the midfield alone, no one else followed.

Zhang Guan also ignored the other teammates. He looked ahead. Westbrook, Rose and Iguodala had all retreated back. If Zhang Guan wanted to force an attack, it would be a 1v3 situation.

However, Zhang Guan did not stop the ball. He held the ball in his right hand and made a breakthrough directly from Westbrook's right side.

Iguodala rushed to the right for the first time to help defend, and Westbrook also moved to the right involuntarily, trying to block Zhang Guan's breakthrough route.

Zhang Guan rushed within the three-point line, he bowed to the right, but his left hand suddenly extended to the right, but at this time, the palm of his left hand was outward.

"Not good!" Westbrook screamed in his heart that it was not good, but Zhang Guan had already made the next move. His left hand hooked the ball from the right to the left abruptly, and then his body's center of gravity also moved to the left. At this moment, Zhang Guan's breakthrough from the right side changed to a breakthrough on the left side.

This time the change was too sudden, before the three defenders of the US team had time to react, they were rushed to the basket by Zhang Guan, and then scored a layup.

"Sam Gold! This is Sam Gold!" CCTV's commentator couldn't help shouting.

Zhang Guan's change of direction this time is indeed not an ordinary one, but the famous "Sam Gold" catching action. This kind of passing is actually a streetball action, created by the famous catch star Sam Goud, so it is named "Sam Goud", and the English name is "Shammgod".

Most of the movements of streetball are not suitable for formal competitions, especially in some high-intensity competitions, fancy streetball movements are even rarer. And "Sam Gold" can be regarded as a technical action that can be exercised in official competitions. There are many variants of this action, some of which are also quite practical.

The extraordinary movement that Zhang Guan used today is obviously a variant movement that is relatively difficult, because Zhang Guan completed this movement while running at high speed, and at the same time, Zhang Guan dribbled the ball to the right. Big, which makes it very difficult for him to adjust his center of gravity. More importantly, Zhang Guan's movements are very fast, so fast that Westbrook has no time to react.

For the top guards in the NBA, "Sam Gold" is probably just an entry-level street ball dribble, especially those black guards with strong physical fitness, they must be able to do this kind of dribble, and it is also possible to achieve Zhang Guan's level. Not a few. However, when Zhang Guan showed this action, Krzyzewski on the bench was ashamed.

Although the streetball moves are very fancy, they have always been physically exhausting. Zhang Guan's "Sam Gold" set just completed can often be done when his physical strength is relatively abundant. If the physical strength is insufficient, it is impossible to achieve such a fast speed, and it is impossible to have enough strength to shift the center of gravity of the body in an instant. Zhang Guan's ability to make such a set of movements shows that he is still very energetic.

"Sam Gold! Zhang Guan can still make such a difficult Sam Gold! Does he still have so much physical strength to complete this kind of action? How is this possible? He has played for 60 minutes! No matter how good his physical strength is, he probably won’t be able to hold on anymore. How can there be such a freak as Zhang Guan? He shouldn’t be playing basketball, he should be running a marathon! He will definitely break the world record!” Live complained.

In the next second, Krzyzewski suddenly thought that for Zhang Guan, the most indispensable thing might be the world record...
