The last five seconds will win or lose


The last five seconds will win or lose

If there is a basketball game, only the last 5 seconds are left, and you have to win 5 more points to be promoted. Are you desperate?
In a European basketball tournament, the Bulgarian team encountered such a situation. At that time, according to the victory and score of each team in the group stage, the Bulgarian team must win 7 points in the Czech Republic to appear. After the start of the game, the two teams are quite equal, and they will fight for you. When the game has 5 seconds left, the Bulgarian team leads by 2 points. However, they must also win 5 points.
Anyone with a little basketball knowledge knows that this is an impossible task. Because even if you score 3 points in the shortest time, and the opponent has an opportunity to control the ball, it is easy to consume the remaining seconds.
The audience at the scene has already begun to leave, and the Czech team’s eyes also show the joy of victory. At this time, the Bulgarian head coach exercised his last right and decisively requested a timeout. The TV commentator said with ecstasy: "I really don't know what the significance of the pause is at this time. Is there really a tactic for resurrection in the world?" The timeout was extremely short. The coach simply confessed to the player and the game continued.
The two Bulgarian players kicked the ball from the baseline and then took the ball to the midfield. The Czech team has no intention of fighting, all returning to their own half, the only thing they want to do is to consume the fleeting 5 seconds in defense. At this time, a stunned scene happened. The Bulgarian player with the ball suddenly turned around and strode forward, jumping forward and slamming the ball into his own blue basket! In the exclamation, the referee's final whistle sounded, the game was over, and the two sides fought equally. In the end what happened? Are Bulgarians crazy? The audience talked a lot. Until the start of the extra time, all the talents suddenly realized that the Bulgarians used the unconventional approach to win the precious time of 5 minutes. Next, the Bulgarian team was unstoppable and scored again and again. For the Czech team, the players still seem to have not been awakened from the strange scene just now. The morale is low, there is no fighting spirit, and they are only beaten. As a result, the Bulgarian team out of the opponent 7 points in one fell swoop and successfully qualifyed.
After the game, the reporter interviewed the coach of the Bulgarian team and asked him why he thought so. The old man said with a smile: "Experience is a good thing, it will let you not take risks and reduce detours; but experience is not a good thing, it will tell you that it is impossible, so that you are not brave. In special circumstances, when others When you are bound by experience, you use reverse thinking to go beyond experience and create miracles."
