Chapter 159 Mero, Make Money!
There were constant cheers at the scene, and the little eyes of the audience became more and more excited.
They led the Dream Team in a single quarter of the Olympics!
This was something I couldn’t even imagine before!
Although this is not the first time the Chinese team has achieved this in the World Championships, in the 2002 World Championships they led the Dream Team 5 at halftime.
But comparing the lineups of Dream Five, Dream Eight, and even Dream Six, we know that the Dream Team attaches completely different importance to the Olympics than the World Championships.
What's more, this is Mengpachi who is determined to take revenge!
Anthony couldn't help but glance at Lin Ying.
You don’t follow martial ethics!
I am your boss after all!
Lin Ying turned his head.
In the face of national interests, teammates and everything else should be put aside.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Ying sat off the court to rest.
Although he looks so handsome wearing an Anthony hat, he is a little out of breath at the moment.
Although the fiba game only lasts ten minutes, the confrontation with the American team is basically half a game in the NBA.
If your physical fitness is not good enough, even if you are an NBA player, you will be an ordinary player in the fiba arena.
This is the "match intensity" mentioned before.
As soon as the second quarter started, the Chinese team was widened.
The full bench lineup of the US team: Paul, Deron, Prince, Boozer, Bosh.
Four All-Stars plus one All-Defensive team player.
This is really bullying someone who has more people than you.
So after only two minutes of rest, Lin Ying was replaced by Yunus along with Yao Ming.
In the second quarter, Lin Ying's changes to the men's basketball team were further highlighted.
He can space the floor at the top of the key and always passes the ball to the person with the best opportunity.
Coupled with the help he can provide in breaking the press, the two major problems of the men's basketball team have been greatly alleviated.
So soon, under the leadership of him and Yao Ming, the men's basketball team took the lead again!
Lao K's side was forced to replace all the main players.
And the domestic fans are really enthusiastic!
The shouting continued, and the adrenaline on the Chinese team never stopped.
The result is that everything is accurate.
Although my physical strength was basically exhausted in the second half of the second quarter, I was able to score!
This finally made old K feel a little bit better.
Is Yunas only preparing to play half-court ball?
Yonas: You guessed it.
He knows the level of his team best.
As mentioned before, the main focus of the opening game is momentum.
Only when the momentum comes out can you be in good shape for the rest of the game. Once you are in good shape, you can play for everyone.
This is his strategy.
Then, it worked.
With Lin Ying's steal and fast break before halftime, the Chinese team ended the first half with a 47-46 lead!
A small record was set in the first quarter, and another one was set in the half!
Satisfied!
Domestic fans looked at the half-time score and felt comfortable for a moment.
The Chinese team leads Mengba at halftime?
If you say this before a game, people will definitely say you are daydreaming!
But now the Chinese men’s basketball team has done it!
This is enough for them to brag about for a long, long time!
It's just that the men's basketball players' legs were a little weak when they returned to the locker room.
The American team didn't hold anything back in the second quarter. They kept pressing and defending with high pressure, and the main players of the men's basketball team basically couldn't rest.
It feels like my body is being hollowed out and my legs are being stretched to pieces.
But like the fans, watching the score is still very comfortable.
Although they may not win the final game, in terms of momentum, they overfulfilled the task!
Back from the halftime break, the U.S. team made a splash at the beginning of the third quarter to open the score to double digits.
Anyone who has played 2K knows that if the player's physical fitness is used intermittently, he can maintain full fitness, but if he keeps pressing the sprint consumption, he can only recover half of it after resting.
2K is very realistic in this regard.
The Chinese team members are much worse than the American team in terms of speed and reaction. They are always running at full strength on both offense and defense.
After half a game, you really can't regain much energy.
On the contrary, the US team's old K12 players have a big rotation, and one of the main midfielders is full again.
Of course, the most important thing is that these are NBA superstars!
When the physical fitness is insufficient, it is really difficult to follow the opponent or get rid of the defense.
That's no longer a matter of willpower.
More than 6 minutes into the third quarter, the US team has opened the point difference to 15 points.
Old K finally sat back down with peace of mind.
To be honest, the Chinese team shocked him into a cold sweat.
If this fails in the opening game, he will be sprayed to death by American fans when he returns home.
On the court, after finally opening up the score, the US team's fun began.
Howard was the first to attack. After seeing Sun Yue in front of him during the fast break, he jumped up and wanted to dunk.
This deduction is worth $500,000!
50,000 is not much for these super giants, but 500,000 is still very attractive!
But it was obvious that he underestimated Sun Yue.
This can be seen from his preparation for taking off. Because of his average height, Howard will give defensive players a confrontation before dunking in the NBA, so that if the opponent cannot get up, he can dunk without restraint.
But this time he didn't. He stood up directly towards Sun Yue and wanted to dunk.
A sentence even flashed in his mind: $500,000 is mine!
"boom!"
However, what he never expected was that Sun Yue met his shot and blocked the ball with a slap. gif!
The ball's take-off timing and blocking angle are almost perfect!
It was no coincidence that he was able to block Anthony back then. This shot-blocking ability was the Chinese version of Kirilenko!
Moreover, the ball was blocked and hit the backboard. After rebounding, Sun Yue got it again.
The Chinese team took advantage of the situation and launched a defensive counterattack. Yi Jianlian dunked after receiving the pass!
Howard was still laughing in the backcourt because he felt he was careless.
There was also a burst of laughter from the bench of the American team.
It was clear that no one on Team USA cared much about this round.
However, in the next round, James missed a three-pointer from outside. After Lin Ying got the rebound, he quickly advanced and scored with the ball.
54 to 65!
The Chinese team has closed the score to 11 points again!
This old K had to get up again before his butt was warmed up by sitting on it.
The performance of the Chinese team tonight was really unexpected.
It's just that the American team members on the field don't seem to have a sense of crisis.
On the court, Anthony took the initiative to ask Wade for a pick-and-roll, and then broke through Sun Yue in a misplaced position.
This is not just a matter of 500,000, it is also a matter of his own face!
He wanted to avenge himself for the "vengeance" he suffered in 2006!
He used his body to crush Sun Yue to the inside, and gave Sun Yue a fight before he stopped and stood up.
This is obviously based on Howard's previous experience and lessons.
Moreover, after Sun Yue was blocked this time, he really had no chance to block shots.
Anthony paused for a moment, then pulled up and buckled.
But the moment he pulled the ball up, he felt a dark shadow coming towards him.
Didn't Sun Yue give him a fight?
"boom!"
Just a nail board!
Of course, this ball was not blocked by Sun Yue, but...
Lin Ying!
There is no way, Lin Ying is too familiar with Anthony!
This ball even waited for Anthony to take off before he saw the right time to take the shot!
Anthony: Are you really my teammate? This is already the second time, it’s too much!
Lin Ying: I can’t help it, who told you to tell me about the bet! Fight to protect Sun Yue!
Another wave of defensive counterattack by the Chinese team. This time Sun Yue followed up and received Lin Ying's pass and hit a three-pointer!
57 to 65!
The Chinese team miraculously brought the score back to 8 points!
Old K was forced to call a timeout!
Wukesong burst into flames again.
You won’t believe it if you tell me, but the Chinese team and the Mengba team even fought back and forth in the third quarter!
"Look at the score. You are now facing an opponent who may defeat you. If you don't try your best, you will lose this game. Do you want your revenge plan to fail in the first game?"
Old K's timeout emphasized only one point, allowing the players to focus on the game.
He could understand the lagging behind at the beginning, but now he couldn't tolerate a bunch of people just thinking about beating Sun Yue.
After the timeout, Kobe was replaced again.
He hit a difficult pull-up jumper as soon as he came up.
"Our best player" does not necessarily mean the one who scores the most points in the team, but it must be the one who can stand up at important moments.
In the finals of the Beijing Olympics in history, it was Kobe's key 3+1 from outside that sealed the deal.
These two points were crucial, but looking back, Yi Jianlian took a pass from Lin Ying and scored!
Originally, the physical fitness of the Chinese team could not keep up, and when they were stretched to 15 points, their morale was already low.
As a result, Howard and Anthony's operations gave the Chinese team hope again. After the adrenaline was secreted, their physical fitness seemed to be restored!
This is actually an illusion.
It is common sense in medicine that when rescuing a patient in shock, adrenaline will be injected into the patient to excite the heart, constrict the blood vessels, stimulate the body's potential, and then achieve the purpose of saving the patient.
The Chinese team is not in "shock", but this wave of adrenaline secretion has indeed stimulated the body's potential!
Give it a try and the bicycle might actually turn into a motorcycle!
However, after Old K reminded the American team, they also took it seriously. The Chinese team played with great momentum, but they were unable to continue to close the score and were even further pulled away.
Serious Mengpachi and the passive-aggressive Mengpachi are not the same team at all!
The last attack of the Chinese team in the third quarter.
At this time, the score on the court was 62 to 73, and the Chinese team was 11 points behind.
Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian broke through after the pick-and-roll.
He broke into the paint and flew to hit the board.
"boom!"
Covered by Howard!
This wave is back!
But what no one expected was that after the ball bounced back, Lin Ying, who was cutting in, got it.
Lin Xiang followed as if he had stepped on a spring.
Before Howard turned around and Sun Yue came to their senses, he smashed the ball directly in between them!
No one expected this goal, and the number of goals in the fiba game was endless, so the third quarter ended immediately.
64 to 73!
The Chinese team trailed the US team by 9 points entering the final quarter!
After three quarters, the Chinese team was only trailing by single digits!
They faced the Dream Team, which included Kobe, James, Howard, Wade, Anthony, Paul, Bosh and so on!
"This is our strongest men's basketball team!"
Yang Yi was really excited now.
He said at the beginning that he was more looking forward to the opportunity, but this time he was moved!
He could feel that the spirit of the men's basketball team was fully unleashed!
At this moment, there was a detail on the court, Lin Ying was communicating with Anthony.
Because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have accomplished the feat of dunking on Sun Yue!
The right hand spreads: Mero, make money!
Anthony laughed angrily.
Sorry!
I've been slapped twice by you, but you still want me to ask for 500,000!
Who do you think I am, losing my wife and losing my troops?
But there was nothing he could do. Who told him to agree to Lin Ying at the end of the season?
This wave can only be regarded as An Gongjin.
Trailing by 9 points in the third quarter, Chinese fans are looking forward to it. If they really win Mengba in the group stage, it's not a question of how long they can brag about it, but how long they can brag about it for a lifetime!
But obviously, this is a bit too much.
The ability to recover in the third quarter was purely due to the American team's own random play, and the Chinese team's physical fitness had already been exhausted.
When I was on the court, I gritted my teeth and felt nothing, but all of a sudden I lost all my strength.
In the last quarter, the Dream Team didn't hold anything back and went full-fire.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team lost to the American team 79-98.
The loss was expected, but only by 19 points!
This score difference set the smallest score difference in any World Series!
At the end of the game, all the spectators in Wukesong, including Premier Zhu, stood up and applauded the men's basketball team.
In tonight's game, the men's basketball team showed momentum and the Chinese spirit.
In terms of statistics, Wade scored the most points for the US team with 19 points, James had 18 points, Kobe had 13 points, and Anthony had 5 points.
For the Chinese team, Yao Ming scored a team-high 15 points and 10 rebounds, Zhu Fangyu had 11 points and 3 rebounds, Yi Jianlian had 11 points and 6 rebounds, and Sun Yue had 8 points, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
Lin Yingze handed over 13 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in his first Olympic game!
And what's even more interesting is that he has never played except for the fifth position on the field, and he has played from one to four!
Yao Ming: Originally I was just looking for someone to pass the ball, but unexpectedly I found the second in command of the national team!
After the game, the two teams shook hands.
Anthony and Lin Ying chatted about the $500,000 for a while, but he was not going to go back on his word.
Lin Ying finally asked Anthony to donate the money to Wenchuan in his own name.
A wave of "Emotional Intelligence".
Kobe and Sun Yue were chatting happily over there.
Speaking of which, three Chinese players were selected in last year's draft, but only Sun Yue has not landed in the NBA because he was a second-round pick.
…
The day after the Sino-US war, all major domestic sports media praised the performance of the men's basketball team.
"The men's basketball team creates the smallest point difference between the US men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team in the World Series, the spring of Chinese basketball is coming"
"Chen Jianghua breaks through Kobe, Sun Yue blocks Howard, Lin Ying blocks Anthony, the new golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team"
"Yang Yi: This is the beginning of an era"
…
Prime Minister Guda was not idle either and published an article titled "Yao Ming looks back, there is a group of people behind him" in a certain wave.
It can be seen from this title that this wave of Guda has changed his gender, and for the first time he has become sensational.
"The big brothers who led me back then are all getting old one after another, and Li Nan and Du Feng are already competing in the last Olympics.
And those people in the same period are not particularly good at fighting.
It felt like the people before me were drifting away, and there was no one around me.
Yao Ming looked back in loneliness, only to find a group of people behind him. "
…
Thanks to Xi Yin, Gordon Gordon, and Long Haomiao for the rewards~
