0899: [The Crossing of the Sea Shows the True Colors of Heroes]
For this result, whether it is the Wind and Dust Four, or Kevin Durant, or Iguodala and James Harden who came on the court later.
In all fairness, it's not that they're doing badly.
Throughout the third quarter, the U.S. team had a very high shooting percentage, and it could even be said that everyone played at an over-level level, except for Carmelo Anthony who tried to choke three times in the penalty area.
"Without an inside barrier, the superstars of Team Dream 10 are dancing like they are in shackles. They are not adapted to the restricted area environment without the three-second zone, and this just magnifies the advantage of the Chinese team, especially Snoopy, under the basket. β
ESPN's Chatford is finally not as secure on TV as he used to be, and his arrogant stance has been lowered a lot: "Snoopy's intimidation at both ends of the pitch is amazing. He fully opened up the offense in the third quarter, and all the scores of the Chinese team were closely related to him. β
"I'll admit Snoopy played really well." Another commentator, Hollinger, is still emphasizing: "But that doesn't prove that Snoopy has the power to surpass all the Dream Team superstars." He's in a great environment for him to play, and... There's only one basketball. Heroes can't be judged by data! β
And, he firmly believes, "The Dream Team will have the last laugh, although... The process will be a bit bumpy. But I believe that the United States will stand on the top podium. And don't you think it's weird when we send some of the NBA's most appealing stars to form a Super Dream Team that doesn't end up winning a gold medal? β
"The self-esteem of the superstars would never allow this to happen."
Hollinger is still convinced.
Later, he pointed out: "I don't believe that Snoopy's physical fitness can support him at such an astonishing consumption at both offensive and defensive ends, in fact, we can see that the other players of the Chinese team have exhausted themselves in the high-intensity confrontation with the American team, and the physical fitness of Asians is not as good as that of Americans, which is a natural gap that cannot be changed." β
While ESPN was discussing the matter, the U.S. team was also in close deliberations.
With three quarters down, the Dream Team's anxiety was palpable. They started to worry that they were going to lose, and they came with the slogan of winning the championship. In fact, no one doubted that they would win the gold medal.
Now, however, the little-known Chinese team has bitten them and taken the lead under Snoopy.
This greatly broke their conjecture, before the start of this game, the players led by Kevin Durant, LeBron James, all had the idea of embarrassing the Duke dog by cleaning up the Chinese team.
However.......
"I think we should just play with them and use the high intensity of the game to drain their energy. As long as we form a multi-point offensive, Snoopy will inevitably be tired of coping, and he will lose his rhythm in the hectic. β
Kobe Bryant very seriously suggested.
He knew the Duke very well, and if it was this kind of fast fighting, chaotic fighting, no one in the whole world would be able to beat Snoopy.
But if you fall into position. Even if the inside advantage is not obvious enough, as long as Tyson Chandler can hold on for a while, he will inevitably cut the Chinese team into pieces in a regular fight one by one.
And, at this time, Bryant mentioned: "We can put Carlos Boozer on the court. His backcourt defensive rebounding, pick-and-roll ability, and mid-range jumpers can all help us substantially. β
Frankly, the Black Mamba thinks Boozer and Durant are a bit naΓ―ve, so why bring the feud in the league to the Olympics? Now it is for the sake of the country to fight for honor, and personal grievances should be put aside.
But, obviously.
Neither Kevin Durant nor LeBron James can pull this face, they are the pride of the sky, they are the superstars who are loved by thousands of people, how can they turn around and bow their heads?
Of course, if Carlos Boozer had come forward and asked to play for the team at this time, they would never have objected. After all, the situation is stronger than the person.
However, Carlos Boozer is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"I want to play for my country, but I need an explanation. Why didn't I get a chance to play in the group stage and semi-finals before, even in garbage time? Carlos Boozer said unforgivingly: "If some people are disgruntled because they were beaten in the league, I want them to come forward and give me an apology. β
Speaking of this, Boozer couldn't help but drift a little: "The savior is also dignified. β
It's good that he doesn't say that he is a savior, but as soon as he says this, James can't stand it. He stood up and said, "I can play power forward." β
Forehead.......
β¦β¦
While the U.S. team was still 'infighting', the Chinese team was recuperating.
The decline in the fitness of the players is an indisputable fact, after all... Three quarters against Team USA is no ordinary attrition. The muscular hunk from the NBA made the domestic players quite deflated in the confrontation.
So, when the fourth quarter began, Dugg decided to bring four bench players into the line.
Zhou Peng, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue and Zhang Zhaoxu became the four players named by Duger.
These four players, except for Wang Shipeng is a three-point shooter, the other three are good at defense, among which Sun Yue also blocked melon and Howard in the 08 Olympic Games, Zhang Zhaoxu is a 222 cm center produced by the NCAA, he knows something about the playing style of the American team, Zhou Peng is a well-known defensive warrior in the CBA, known for his tough style and daring to play, and also has a certain vacancy projection ability.
"The U.S. team is bound to attack next, and we must withstand their wave. As long as we hold on to the first seven minutes and don't let the difference open. I assure you that each of us will become a legend in the history of Chinese basketball. β
Before going on the field, Dugg told every teammate very solemnly.
Defeating the Dream Team is something that the Chinese men's basketball team never dreamed of before. But now, it's almost a kick in the door.
If this is really done in the end, then as Duge said, everyone will become a legend in the history of Chinese basketball. And will permanently leave his name in the annals of history, and the significance of this victory is no less than Liu Xiang's victory in the Olympic track and field field. This means that the Chinese men's basketball team has become the only legend in history to break the monopoly of white and black people on the Olympic gold medal.
This is incomparable in helping to build national self-confidence.
And, to put it a little cheesy. As long as the Chinese men's basketball team returns home with an Olympic gold medal, any player can enjoy the rewards and influence that will not be spent in this life. Not to mention the rewards of the national team, the rewards of sports bureaus at all levels, and the rewards of clubs. Just the sponsorship of various enterprises across the country will make them soft, and some developers will send luxury houses and villas.
So, when the whistle blows. Every Chinese player walked on the field full of fighting spirit and unprecedented determination.
Whether it is based on national glory, racial beliefs, or personal interests, they all have reasons to fight tenaciously to win.
When the Chinese office workers entered their lunch break and turned on their TVs and mobile phones, they were amazed by the scores of the two teams.
Then, everyone saw a completely different showdown between China and the United States in the fourth quarter.
The first offensive of the Chinese team began with Dug holding the ball and attacking the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant has been following him closely. He is very smart defensively and does not aim to succeed defensively, but to disrupt Dug's offensive rhythm.
Sometimes he approaches, sometimes he relaxes, sometimes he rushes.
In a way, he was the only one who made Dug feel bad in the game.
Because before that, the other players defended themselves with the kind of projection that allowed themselves to increase the tempo and increase the rate, and then was quite unreasonable: give themselves enough CD time.
But Bryant didn't do that.
However, even so, he was unable to defend Duge.
Dugg used his superior physical confrontation and incredible speed to quickly get past him after a moment of grappling, and then rushed straight into the paint area. Tyson Chandler immediately came up to the defense. But as he took a step, Duge hoisted the basketball into the penalty area, and Zhang Zhaoxu fell from the sky...... Rumble!
This time, the unknown Chinese player from the NCAA League in the United States completed the aerial bombardment of the dream team on the stage of the Olympic Games!
He roared excitedly.
His catharsis further boosted the momentum of the Chinese team.
Then, back to the defensive end.
When LeBron James passed Sun Yue's defense, he rushed to the penalty area like a tank. The thin Zhou Peng resolutely stood on the way that James had to pass, and met the violent impact from LeBron James straight up...... When this scene happened, Duge felt incredible!! In the NBA, few people dare to foul James. Zhou Peng, this guy looks like a paper man, and he .......
What a man!!
While Dugg was in awe, Zhou Peng was knocked out without suspense, and when he landed heavily on the floor and slid off the court, the referee blew the whistle, and he did not hesitate to give James an offensive foul.
At this time, Zhou Peng, who fell to the ground, couldn't care about the pain, he slapped the floor hard, straightened his body and roared angrily.
Chinese players have always been restrained, but when they release the enthusiasm in their hearts, it is like the most violent soju, invading everyone's nerves.
Doog walked over, pulled him up, and asked if he was okay.
Although Zhou Peng clenched his teeth, his emaciated facial muscles were trembling. But after he just gasped, he replied lightly: "It's okay." You can still them! β
This touched Dugg deeply, and he suddenly saw his own shadow in this group of introverted and silent teammates. Originally... Everyone is the same, this is rooted in the tenacity and tenacity of the blood, although usually not showing the mountains and waters, but when the sea is crossing, it shows the true character of the hero.
The so-called Sino-US showdown.
Come on!
Duge slapped his palms, took Sun Yue's serve, and said, "Score this goal and continue to expand the lead!" β
