I think it will be very hard to make if played against most of players at bbo after lead ♠2,however I am very lucky to get 11 tricks,so I have to say this is a odd defensive line.

Familiar story. Your 3N bid shows 25-30 HCP. Which of course is not possible from East's viewpoint. The maximum that you could have is 19, placing you with the Spade Ace and Diamond Queen to go with your other honours, West having zero points.
I expect that once you are known not to have your bid, GIB will place you with the closest approximation, and so assumes that you have those cards. In which case it is clear that the Ace of Clubs (after winning Spade Q) is the only possible trick for the defence (unless King falls) and thereafter all cards are equal.
