US team exchanges several shooting experts all of a sudden, obviously is the preparation must throw the three-pointer. 美国队一下子换上好几个投篮能手,显然是准备要投三分球。 The competition is also left over the final 29 seconds, both sides divide equally, if hits a three-pointer at the final moment, can be accurate sure-kill a time, moreover a difference of 3 points, makes US team be successful sufficiently the advantage. 比赛还剩下最后的29秒,双方平分,如果是在最后时刻投中一个三分球的话,算得上是一次准绝杀,而且3分的优势,足以让美国队立于不败的优势。 Against three points!” Player in China team after seeing changing players of US team, first reached the agreement. “防三分!”中国队的球员在看到美国队的换人后,第一时间就达成了共识。 Experienced Billups dribbles the advance, he carefully is observing the position of China team everyone, sees only everyone in China team closely to paste the opponent, obviously is guarding against shooting of US team. 老练的比卢普斯运球前进,他仔细的观察着中国队每一个人的位置,只见中国队的每一个人都紧紧的贴着对手,显然是在防备美国队的投篮。 Hehe!” On Billups's face appears a wisp to sneer, the next quarter, sudden strikes passes, threw the ball to Gordon. “呵呵!”比卢普斯的脸上浮现出一缕冷笑,下一刻,突然一个击地传球,将球扔给了戈登。 After Gordon catches a ball, has not stayed, the direct selection the breakthrough, changed to crashed in the center line. 戈登接球后并没有停留,直接选择了突破,一个变向就冲进了三分线以内。 Breakthrough? Isn't the three-pointer? Said this is only a trap?” “突破?不是三分球么?还是说这只是个陷阱?” Deploying troops for defense of inside connection player takes place quickly, Gordon's height is also not enough to welcome the giant to layup, sees only his hand to shake, ball biography to Grainger. But after Grainger catches a ball, has not stayed, threw to Durante the ball directly. 内线球员的布防很快就位,戈登的身高还不足以迎着大个子上篮,只见他手一抖,将球传向了格兰杰。而格兰杰接球后没有停留,直接将球抛给了杜兰特。 Really Durante! Had guessed correctly that can be he. Others are the pretences, carried out this three points of tactic most afterward, can be Durante!” Donewald under field was rejoicing oneself guessed right time, a Durante actually acceleration, broke through the inside connection. “果然还是杜兰特!早就猜到会是他了。其他人都是幌子,最后来执行这个三分战术的,一定会是杜兰特!”场下的邓华德正在庆幸自己猜对了的时候,杜兰特却一个加速,突破进了内线。 Hasn't thrown three points? To attract the defense passes again?” Donewald surprise wants to say. “没有投三分?还是为了吸引防守再传球?”邓华德诧异的想道。 Favors own person!” The player in China team has not relaxed outside the vigilance to center line, at this time was put for two points not to put three points. “看好自己的人!”中国队的球员没有放松对三分线外的警惕,这个时候本来就是放两分不放三分。 Durante has not passed, his feigning movement penetrates under the basket directly, a tension bar layups, two points enter. 杜兰特并没有传球,他直接假动作突入篮下,一个拉杆上篮,两分打进。 „Did US team want two points? The competition also 15 seconds, the attack of US team spent in other words for 14 seconds, this is not considered as that fast two points? Old Coach k must do, 15 seconds, enough makes a complete tactical coordination, does he also want by the sure-kill?” Donewald silently wants to say. “美国队要了一个两分?比赛还有15秒,也就是说美国队的这次进攻花费了14秒,这也不算是一个快速两分吧?老k教练要干什么,15秒的时间,足够打出一次完整的战术配合,难道他还想被绝杀么?”邓华德默默的想道。 92 : 90, US team leads two points, but China team also has 15 seconds of attack time, in other words China team can definitely arrange a three-pointer the tactic, US team sure-kill. Even if no opportunity of three-pointer, a two-pointer can still tie the score, draws to the overtime period. 92比90,美国队领先两分,而中国队还剩下一个15秒的进攻时间,也就是说中国队完全可以安排一个三分球的战术,将美国队绝杀。就算是没有三分球的机会,一个两分球也可以将比分扳平,拖入到加时赛当中。 Before the television, these narrators are also analyzing the approach of US team, why they cannot understand old Coach k to make this tactical arrangement. 电视机前,那些解说员也在分析美国队的做法,他们看不懂老k教练为什么会做出这种的战术安排。 US team originally 29 seconds of attack time, if hits 24 seconds of pressure sentry posts to attack time, leaves China team also to only have 5 seconds. After international championship suspends, cannot center kick, therefore these 5 seconds contained time that dribble to the preceding performance, therefore in international championship, 5 seconds almost cannot play what tactical coordination, generally have also dribbled the middle place, pass on to shoot. 美国队原本有29秒的进攻时间,如果打一次24秒的压哨进攻,留给中国队也就只有五秒的时间。世锦赛暂停后是不能中线发球的,所以这五秒钟包含了带球到前场的时间,也因此在世锦赛中,五秒的几乎是打不出来什么战术配合的,一般也就是运球过中场,传一下投篮。 But now, US team actually leaves China team in 15 seconds, this makes a complete tactical coordination sufficiently. A 15 seconds of complete tactical coordination, with 5 seconds of hasty shooting, it can be said that other day of badly two attack, but probability of goal, is no comparison between them. 可现在,美国队却留给了中国队15秒中,这足以打出一次完整的战术配合。一次15秒的完整战术配合,和一次五秒的仓促投篮,可以说是天差地别的两次进攻,而进球的概率方面,更是不可同日而语。 In other words US team leaves the Chinese 15 seconds, was equal to leaving China team opportunity, an opportunity of final sure-kill. 也就是说美国队留给中国15秒,也等于是留给了中国队机会,一次最后绝杀的机会。 ...... …… „Do 15 seconds, make a complete attack sufficiently, why US team no longer press the ball? Aren't they worried to encounter the sure-kill?” “15秒啊,足以打出一次完整的进攻,美国队为什么不再压一下球呢?难道他们不担心遭到绝杀么?” China team also has the three-pointer shooter, moreover at two years ago Olympic Games, Zhang Guan on successful using three-pointer sure-kill US. Today's Zhang Guan is the feel more fiery, he has taken 50 points, perhaps will offer a three-pointer sure-kill again!” “中国队又不是没有三分球射手,而且在两年前的奥运会上,张冠就成功的用三分球绝杀了美国。今天的张冠更是手感火热,他已经拿下了50分,说不定会再次献上一个三分球绝杀呢!” „Can US team encounter setback? For successive two times the finals of competition by the same person sure-kill, this were really inconceivable.” “难道说美国队又要遭遇滑铁卢了么?连续两次大赛的决赛被同一个人绝杀,这真是难以想象。” On the bench, Donewald has not arranged what tactic, but makes everyone pull open the space, gives Zhang Guan processing the ball power, but on the side of US team, the player in US team encircles side Krzyzewski, but Krzyzewski unceasing the picture on the tactical board goes. 替补席上,邓华德并没有安排什么战术,只是让大家拉开空间,将球权交给张冠处理,而美国队一边,美国队的球员围在沙舍夫斯基身旁,而沙舍夫斯基则不断的在战术板上画来画去。 The suspension ended, the player goes on stage. At this time the entire audience have also stood, waits for China team this to attack finally. 暂停结束,球员上场。此时全场观众也都已经站起来,等待着中国队这最后一攻。 Can present the sure-kill?” Everyone harbors this question, as if by prior agreement will look at Zhang Guan, in the hall is filling depressing atmosphere. “会不会出现绝杀?”所有人都怀着这个疑问,不约而同的将目光投向了张冠,球馆内弥漫着一股压抑的气氛。 China team serves, basketball just passed to the Zhang Guan hand, Eric Gordon threw. 中国队发球,篮球才刚刚传到张冠手中,埃里克-戈登就扑了上来。 Full-court press? This is not the wise choice. Once China team indeed was afraid full press very much, but since had Zhang Guan, full press does not have the effect, moreover after Zhang Guan breakthrough, will also create in a short time hit few situations. US team believes that Gordon can prevent Zhang Guan?” “全场紧逼防守么?这可不是什么明智的选择。曾经的中国队的确很害怕全场紧逼,但自从有了张冠之后,全场紧逼已经没有了效果,而且张冠突破之后,还会造成短时间内的多打少的情况。难道美国队认为,戈登能够阻挡的了张冠么?” bi......” in the meantime, the whistling sound of referee suddenly resounds, breaks the tension-filled atmosphere instantaneously. “哔……”就在此时,裁判的哨声突然响起,瞬间将现场紧张的气氛打断。 Violated a regulation, US team breaks the rules on own initiative, they delivered the basketball Zhang Guan!” Scene calling out in alarm at the same time. “犯规了,美国队主动犯规,他们将张冠送上了罚球线!”现场一面的惊呼。 Eric Gordon flushed, but has not gone to pressure defense Zhang Guan, but is breaks the rules to Zhang Guan directly, delivered the basketball him. 埃里克-戈登是冲了上来,但并没有去紧逼防守张冠,而是直接对张冠犯规,把他送上了罚球线。 I understood, old Coach k quite plans, first takes a two-pointer, then delivers the basketball Zhang Guan directly, lets the Zhang Guan penalty kick. If Zhang Guan two punish all enters, is both sides divides equally at most, but the ball power in US team hand, the rest of the time also makes US team arrange a tactical coordination sufficiently. The words that if the Zhang Guan ball has not scored, US team held the lead, meanwhile held the ball power! This tactical arrangement, but compared with leaving China team 5 seconds of attack time is much better!” “我明白了,老k教练好算计啊,先要一个两分球,然后直接将张冠送上罚球线,让张冠罚球。如果张冠两罚全进的话,顶多是双方平分,但是球权却在美国队手中,剩下的时间也足以让美国队安排一次战术配合。而万一张冠有一球没有罚中的话,美国队就握有了领先优势,同时还握有了球权!这种战术安排,可要比留给中国队五秒钟的进攻时间要好的多啊!” Right, stays behind for 5 seconds to the opponent with it, might as well be received to grasp 15 seconds of attack power by oneself, such initiative can also grasp! However I guess to only have US team, dares to use the tactic that this type breaks the rules on own initiative.” “没错,与其给对手留下五秒钟,不如让自己收握一个15秒的进攻权,这样主动权还可以自己掌握!不过我猜只有美国队,才敢使用这种主动犯规的战术。” In the basketball movement, the penalty kick is the difficulty lowest score method, surface basket shooting, disregards the defense obviously, the probability of score want high many compared with any other attack methods. It looks like in many coaches, oneself make contact with break the rules one time delivers on the opponent the basketball to be equal to again a mistake, it is precisely for this reason, except for special cuts shark tactic beside, in the basketball competition few people will adopt the tactic that breaks the rules on own initiative. 篮球运动中,罚球显然是难度最低的得分手段,面筐投篮、无视防守,得分的概率要比其他任何的进攻手段都要高的多。在很多教练看来,自己搭上一次犯规再送对手上罚球线等于是一次失误,也正因如此,除了专门的“砍鲨战术”之外,篮球比赛中很少有人会采取主动犯规的战术。 At the hit probability, the pitcher penalty kick hit probability over 90% are very normal things, generally the penalty kick hit probability of player also surpassed 80%, the bad words 70% penalty kick hit probabilities can also accept, probably Howard that 50% penalty kick hit probabilities, have been able with cutting the person tactic. 以命中率而言,投手罚球命中率超90%是很正常的事情,一般球员的罚球命中率也超过了八成,再不济的话70%的罚球命中率也可以接受,像是霍华德那种50%的罚球命中率,已经可以用砍人战术了。 But during ordinary attack, the positional warfare or the mobile warfare, can have 50% hit probabilities are very high, O'Neill this type of the world 's top inside connection, the hit probability was also close to 60% probably, the common outwire player is also 40% hit probabilities. 而普通的进攻当中,无论是阵地战还是运动战,能够有50%的命中率已经是很高的了,像是奥尼尔这种世界顶级的内线,命中率也只是接近60%,一般的外线球员也就是40%的命中率。 Similarly is 50% hit probabilities, in the ordinary attack is the efficient performance, however actually became the loophole in the penalty kick, can explain from this point, penalty kick score, truly other score methods easy are too more. Therefore no one will make the attack of opponent easy, but becomes by own attack difficult, this is also a reason that few will choose breaks the rules on own initiative. 同样是50%的命中率,在普通的进攻中是高效的表现,但是在罚球当中却成了漏洞,从这一点也可以说明,罚球得分,确实比其他得分手段容易的太多。所以没有人会让对手的进攻变得容易,而让自己的进攻变得艰难,这也是几乎没有人会选择主动犯规的一个原因。 However Krzyzewski actually dares to use this tactic, US team also dares to use this tactic, because they believe that so long as is the ball power in US team hand, they are also capable to enter two points again. If Zhang Guan has a ball unable to punish, that US team gained in a big way. 但是沙舍夫斯基却敢用这种战术,美国队也敢用这种战术,因为他们坚信,只要是球权在美国队手中,他们也有能力可以再打进两分。况且若是张冠有一球罚不进的话,那美国队就赚大了。 Zhang Guan punishes two balls, the score turned into 92 draws. Gordon's violation was very a moment ago decisive, the time only walked for 1 second, at this time ended from the competition is also left over 14. much seconds points time, this made US team complete a tactical coordination sufficiently. 张冠罚进两球,比分变成了92平。刚才戈登的犯规很果断,时间仅走了一秒,此时距离比赛结束还剩下14秒多一点的时间,这足以让美国队完成一次战术配合。 Was one's turn US team to attack, this time definitely was the sure-kill! Durante, Grainger, Gordon, Billups, they have the ability of three-pointer sure-kill!” “轮到美国队进攻了,这次肯定是绝杀了吧!杜兰特、格兰杰、戈登、比卢普斯,他们都有三分球绝杀的能力!” Why with three-pointer? One two points enough. The previous time is 29 seconds, China team also has the time to overturn, but this time 14 seconds, so long as US team throws a pressure sentry post two-pointer, can win!” “何必用三分球?一个两分就够了。上一次是29秒钟,中国队还有时间可以翻盘,但这一次只有14秒,只要美国队投一个压哨两分球,就可以胜利了!” Worthily is old Coach k, driving violation, not only grasped the initiative in oneself hand, but also turned over the superior disadvantage.” “不愧是老k教练,一次主动的犯规,不但将主动权握在了自己手里,还将优劣势翻转。” Yeah, but also only then US team dares in this way! Moreover the opponent or China team, trading to do are Spain or Argentina, old Coach k will also choose the little darling to defend. But disparity between China team and US team is really quite big, if were not Zhang Guan just that several mysterious three-pointer, China team has lost!” “可不是么,不过也就只有美国队才敢用这种方法吧!而且对手还是中国队,换做是西班牙或者阿根廷,老k教练也会选择乖乖防守的。但中国队和美国队之间的差距实在是比较大,如果不是张冠刚刚那几个神奇的三分球,中国队早就输了!” 14 seconds, 92 : 92, US team holds the ball power, day chessboard another turn over of victory, was just still discussing that Zhang Guan can the fan in sure-kill US team, transfer the direction again in abundance, they instead start to discuss in US team, whom will make complete this sure-kill. 14秒,92比92,美国队握有球权,胜利的天枰又一次的翻转,刚刚还在讨论张冠能不能再次绝杀美国队的球迷,纷纷调转了方向,他们反而开始议论起美国队中,会让谁完成这一次绝杀。 ...... …… Billups just received to serve, Zhang Guan had thrown. 比卢普斯刚刚接过发球,张冠就已经扑了过来。 Zhang Guan? Pressure defense? He is delaying me to dribble the half-court time! Very intelligent choice.” Billups realizes this point immediately. 张冠?紧逼防守吗?他是在延误我带球过半场的时间!很聪明的选择。”比卢普斯马上意识到这一点。 14 seconds of attack time, said that were long, said were short, almost can also play tactic a coordination of time, the time that if dribbled earlier was also delayed, then the behind running tactic will be quite definitely hasty, the probability of score will also drop. 14秒的进攻时间,说长不长,说短不短,差不多也能够打一次战术的配合,如果前期运球的时间还遭到延误的话,那么后面跑战术肯定会比较仓促,得分的概率也会下降。 Billups pass rashly, he has not been worried about to be cut off by Zhang Guan, although will lose some time, but after he waits for the teammate is aiding, the ball passes to the teammate. 比卢普斯没有贸然的传球,他担心会被张冠断掉,虽然会耽误一些时间,但他还是等待着队友接应后,才将球传给队友。 Here!” Durante runs up to the center line circumscribed sphere directly closely, how United Arab Republic with, him knows that this ball is important, is deciding the life and death of China team. “这里!”杜兰特直接跑到三分线外接球,阿联怎紧紧的跟了上去,他知道这一球至关重要,决定着中国队的生死。 Other players in US team moving of keeping, but Durante stopped the ball, obviously he arrives in the standby period acts at the last minute again. 美国队的其他球员在不停的跑动,而杜兰特则停下了球,显然他在等待时间到达最后一刻再出手。 However in the meantime, Zhang Guan discarded Billups suddenly, flushed. 然而就在此时,张冠突然舍弃了比卢普斯,冲了过来。 Ahead of time hold/container clip!” Durante slightly one startled, he stopped the ball without hesitation, crossed the top of the head ball tall Gaoju. “提前包夹!”杜兰特微微一惊,他毫不犹豫的停下了球,将球高高举过了头顶。 Billups's position was spatial! The good opportunity......” Durante to wave, ball biography to Billups. “比卢普斯的位置空了!好机会……”杜兰特一挥手,将球传向了比卢普斯。 But, Zhang Guan seems like the shell general in the meantime, leaves from Durante, charged into Billups. 而也就在此时,张冠像是炮弹一般,从杜兰特身边离开,也冲向了比卢普斯。 Person possibly is how quicker than the ball!” Curling the lip of Durante disdains, but Billups also received the ball. “人怎么可能比球快!”杜兰特不屑的撇了撇嘴,而比卢普斯也接到了球。 Shooting?” Billups hesitant, direct setting out jump shot, at the same time, his corner of the eye split vision had not seen slightly Zhang Guan had flown. “投篮么?”比卢普斯没有丝毫犹豫,直接起身跳投,与此同时,他的眼角余光看到了张冠已经飞了起来。 The Zhang Guan person has not pursued Billups, jumping that but the person has actually been ahead of time. 张冠的人还没追到比卢普斯,但人却已经提前的跳起。 Good quick projectile velocity, such high altitude, I can the quilt fall! I understood, Zhang Guan discards me intentionally, he makes me shoot intentionally, then prepares to cover me!” In this flash, Billups made the accurate judgment. “好快的弹速,还有这么高的高度,我会被盖掉的!我明白了,张冠是故意舍弃我,他是故意让我投篮,然后再准备盖掉我!”在这一瞬间,比卢普斯就做出了精准的判断。 Billups is the dream in nine teams a oldest person, is 34-year-old he already in data, although is very good, but has crossed the peak of career. The Billups biggest merit is stable, compares, his body, bounces with the speed can only be outstanding, but cannot be the apex. Now increases young, his bouncing and speed fell, but he played a ball game is also getting more and more intelligent. 比卢普斯是梦九队中年龄最大的一个人,34岁的他已经在数据方面虽然还很不错,但已经过了职业生涯的巅峰。比卢普斯最大的优点就是稳定,相比较起来,他的身体、弹跳和速度都只能算是优秀,而不能算是顶尖。如今年轻增大,他的弹跳和速度都出现了下降,不过他打球也越来越聪明了。 Finally throws, not whose head of test is more intelligent, whose shooting but is more accurate, Billups's intelligent head and rich experience, cannot help him improve the accuracy of shooting, but the age actually became he biggest enemy. If changes into is five years ago Billups, he will definitely throw this ball without hesitation, but present Billups, jumping is not high, the speed was slow, he knows, if shoot, ten will have is overwhelmed by Zhang Guan. 最后一投,考验的并不是谁的脑袋更聪明,而是谁的投篮更准,比卢普斯的聪明的脑瓜和丰富的经验,并不能帮助他提高投篮的准确性,而年龄却成了他最大的敌人。如果换成是五年前的比卢普斯,他肯定会毫不犹豫的投出这一球,但现在的比卢普斯,跳不高了,速度慢了,他知道如果自己投篮的话,十有会被张冠盖下。 Passes!” Billups waves, he has not chosen shooting, but in in the air threw to Grainger the ball. “传球!”比卢普斯一挥手,他没有选择投篮,而是在空中将球抛给了格兰杰。 ...... …… Grainger has not thought, oneself can be that person who completes the final attack, although he is the eldest child of pedestrian team, however the position in nine teams in the dream is quite ordinary. As the small forward, he must with Durante, Gedala, Rudy Gaye competitive position, but facing these three opponents, he has no advantage. 格兰杰万万没想到,自己会是完成最后进攻的那个人,他虽然是步行者队的老大,但是在梦九队中的地位却比较一般。作为个小前锋,他要和杜兰特、伊戈达拉、鲁迪-盖伊竞争位置,而面对这三个对手,他并没有什么优势。 Durante is dream nine teams of cores, Grainger did not need to compare ; Gedala many that wants Grainger to be versatile, this versatile soldiers player was liked by Krzyzewski deeply, therefore Gedala can be in the position of another first round frontal line. But Rudy Gaye, the height or the body weight, are similar to Grainger, but Gaye Grainger young and strongly and is more energetic. 杜兰特是梦九队的核心,格兰杰就不用比了;伊戈达拉要比格兰杰全能的多,这种全能战士型的球员深受沙舍夫斯基喜爱,所以伊戈达拉可以占据另一个首发锋线的位置。而鲁迪-盖伊,无论是身高还是体重,都和格兰杰差不多,但是盖伊比格兰杰更加的年轻、更加的强壮、更加的有活力。 Grainger's attack method mainly shoots, however he is actually not Alan that type comes a three points of killer suddenly, he needs the ball power, needs specially for the tactic that he formulates, can have the stable display, is in the dream in nine teams, impossible Grainger as tactical core, dream nine teams of needs also is really the killer who that type comes a three-pointer suddenly. Therefore many times. 格兰杰的进攻手段主要还是投篮,然而他却不是雷-阿伦那种冷不丁来一个三分的杀手,他需要球权,需要专门为他制定的战术,才能有稳定的发挥,可是在梦九队中,不可能将格兰杰作为战术核心,梦九队需要的还真是那种冷不丁来一个三分球的杀手。所以很多的时候。 This attack, Grainger's primary mission also attracts the defense, therefore he has stood outside the center line, especially ball to Durante hand in time, Grainger had guessed correctly, then did not have anything matter. 这一次进攻,格兰杰的主要任务也只是吸引防守,所以他一直站在三分线外,特别是球到了杜兰特手中的时候,格兰杰已经猜到,接下来没有自己什么事情了。 However Durante actually passed to Billups the ball. 然而杜兰特却将球传给了比卢普斯。 Grainger thought is little significance as before with, because Billups is completely in the vacancy, attained ball affirmation direct shooting. 格兰杰依旧觉得和自己没太大关系,因为比卢普斯完全处于空位,拿到球肯定直接投篮了。 However Billups was actually worried oneself meet the quilt to fall, therefore forcefully passed to the ball Grainger's hand. 但是比卢普斯却担心自己会被盖掉,于是硬生生的将球传到了格兰杰的手上。 Grainger has not been ready completely, then jumps up and shoots ignorant. 格兰杰完全没有做好准备,然后就懵懵跳起投篮。 ...... …… Grainger, three-pointer! Shoots the frame, backboard!” “格兰杰,三分球!弹框而出,篮板!” Le Fu wallops, caught the ball, his position not too attacks suitably immediately. 乐福猛冲过去,抓到了球,不过他的位置并不太适合马上进攻。 But the time are not much, Le Fu renders meritorious service cherished, choice direct slam dunk. 可时间已经不多了,乐福立功心切,选择直接扣篮。 „!” Roughly waves, directly ball cover drop. “啪!”大致一挥手,直接将球盖掉。 After all is the experience is roughly rich, after he has not grabbed the rebound, first closed off Le Fu the attack route, Le Fu attacked forcefully, can only the quilt fall. 大致毕竟是经验丰富,他没有抢到篮板后,第一时间就封锁了乐福的进攻路线,乐福强行进攻,只能被盖掉。 Almost all people rush over to the ball, scene immediately one side chaotic war. 几乎所有人都冲着球冲了过去,现场顿时一边乱战。 Attained!” Gedala grasps the ball in the hand. “拿到了!”伊戈达拉一把将球抓在手中。 bi!” “哔!” Long whistle sound also resounds, this is the sound that the competition ended. 一个长笛声也同时响起,这是比赛结束的声音。 Competition ended, 92 : 92, the tie, must play the overtime period! “比赛结束了,92比92,平局,要打加时赛了!
