The strongest small forward on the planet!

In the semifinals between the United States and Spain, at the most critical moment, LeBron James made a step-back jumper to help the United States team stretch the difference to 6 points.

And LeBron's performance is not over yet.

"Kobe Bryant has the ball, and the U.S. team still has to play the ball off the guard line! Spain is about to be trapped, Kobe Bryant went to the ribs, leaned on his back, had no chance to shoot, the ball was given to the top of the arc, and LeBron James made a three-point shot...... Medium!! ”

Three Point Shot!!

LeBron's lethal three-pointer gave the U.S. a nine-point lead at 102-93 with 1:59 left before the end.

After that, the desperate Navarro missed a three-point shot, and Spain fell completely into the abyss.

Time, in fact, was enough for Spain to make a counterattack, but the United States team stubbornly continued to let the back line end the attack.

Chris Paul.

"Captain Paul is moving fast! Middle-distance heads-up! Dribble under the crotch and change direction, stop and start again! Calderon couldn't keep up, and Paul took off sideways and licked the basket with his right hand...... Hit!!! ”

11 points gap!

"I'm so ruthless......!"

In the stands, the expressions of the Chinese players were all very solemn.

If LeBron's three-pointer closed the door of hope for Spain's comeback.

Paul's licking of the basket locks the door completely.

“…… Substitutions! The Spanish team has made a substitution! The main player came off the bench and Spain was going to give up the game!! ”

Surprisingly, Spain decided to abandon the game, and in the last minute, Spain made a number of substitutes.

And after the next dead ball, the U.S. team also replaced the substitutes.

Soon after, the game ended.

"Team USA! The runner-up of the men's basketball event in the last Olympic Games, the United States national men's basketball team, which came to the Olympics with the flame of revenge, entered the finals!! ”

And in this case......

"It's still the same recipe, it's still the same familiar taste! Tomorrow, at the Olympic Basketball Stadium, the two teams that met in the Olympic men's basketball final four years ago will once again compete for the Olympic championship trophy! ”

Everything is as if it were yesterday.

"At the last moment, he didn't forget to demonstrate against us."

In the stands, Chen Mu clasped his hands in front of his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Can't hide.

At the beginning of the knockout round, no, when I learned that Gu Yu would also be in the national team squad, the strength of the team was greatly enhanced, and there was hope to disrupt the situation in the Olympic arena.

Chen Mu already knew this very clearly.

The U.S. team's hurdles......

"We still have to take ...... after all!"

“USA！ USA！ USA！ USA！ ”

At the scene, the shouts of American fans were the same as the shouts of the Chinese when the Chinese team was promoted before.

The Stars and Stripes fluttered in every corner of the stands, and the Spaniards, who once again fell under the iron hooves of the American team, bowed their heads in loneliness.

“NICE-ORK。”

Pau Gasol looked down at the floor with his hands on his hips.

In my ears, a familiar voice sounded.

"You've done your best."

Gasol looked up and saw a familiar face.

Bryant.

"Oh, yes......"

Gasol nodded, the man in front of him, in the NBA, and he were like a husband and wife.

But when it came to the Olympics and the time to fight for the country, the two had to become rivals.

"24 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, if you can play like this every day when you go back to Los Angeles, we can beat that guy."

Bryant looked at Gasol's stats on the scoreboard and laughed.

"You've won, don't count me down again, okay......"

Gasol smiled wryly and slapped Kobe Bryant.

"Winning is winning, but ......"

Kobe Bryant's face did not see the slightest joy of winning.

His eyes have been looking at the corner of the stands.

A group of men in red tracksuits are sitting there.

"Your strategy is right."

Gasol saw his friend's thoughts at a glance and said: "Just like when the Chinese team faced France before, we transformed early, adjusted our tactics in advance, and put them into practice in the game. When the time comes, are you going to use the guard line to endlessly attack the hairstyle brother, consume his physical energy, and make him unable to play his strongest strength when he attacks himself, right? ”

"Haha, is our purpose so obvious?"

Kobe Bryant is happy, and he knows it very well in his heart, not to mention Gasol of the basketball IQ bunker, anyone who is really in the basketball circle probably knows what the American team thinks.

"It's a good idea, mainly because you have a lot of outside scorers, and everyone can come up with the ball to attack, which puts a lot of defensive pressure on the hairstyle."

Gasol said: "We also thought of this method at the time, and we wanted to let Ruel attack the hairstyle brother, but ...... It didn't work out very well. ”

"That's because the Chinese team was using the method of squeezing through and not changing the defense to consume you."

Bryant said: "Your ball carrier is not impactful enough, the projection is strong, but if you only have one strong point, it is easy to be targeted by tactics." The hairstyle brother's offense is too sharp, and in the NBA, he is surrounded by unfinished bodies like Cousins and Evans, which is not so obvious. When he arrived at the national team, with Chen by his side, his power was fully reflected. It's normal that you can't beat it, but the staffing is not up to par. ”

"That's right, you're different."

Speaking of this, Gasol looked up at the players of the American team, and his eyes were full of envy: "If we had you on our team, we would have won the game, and we wouldn't have met you in the semifinals." ”

Both of them were stunned, and for a few seconds, neither of them spoke.

Kobe Bryant thought of the past at once.

Once upon a time, there was such a super inside line by my side.

At that time, he was still a little young, although the firepower on the offensive end could already be regarded as the top five levels in the league, but there were still big problems in terms of tactical concepts, shot selection, etc.

It's exactly the same as Gu Yu now.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of that big fat man that Kobe Bryant can have a huge wing shelter in the most golden period of his rise. The fat man's containment power is at the same level as the current Chen Mu, creating countless opportunities for Kobe Bryant to be one-on-one.

And on the basketball court, you let Kobe Bryant hold the ball and pick up anyone, and there is only one result.

That's crushing.

Kobe Bryant's mind couldn't help but have a picture.

If in the next few years, Gu Yu is given a teammate of the same level as Chen Mu......

The Kings, I'm afraid they're about to take off quickly!

In addition, who is the outside ball carrier who is growing up under the protection of Chen Mu's wings?

It seems to be Dale Curry's son......!

On the other hand, in Gasol's mind, he was thinking about another thing.

Age, physical fitness, likelihood of receiving honors......

Judging from all aspects, is it still necessary for me to continue to play in the national team?

If it is said that the competition of the national team, because of the national honor, it is difficult to refuse.

So...... What about the Lakers?

In the next few years, do we Lakers still have any hope of taking out Philadelphia? What about the Heat? What about Spurs after the transformation?

If the Kings' three bad imps grow up......

"Speaking of which, how are you going to deal with the problem of the Chinese team hiding the hairstyle at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends?"

Gasol asked, changing the subject.

"When you, Argentina, Brazil and other teams attack, the reason why the hairstyle brother can hide is because your ball is not fast enough, and there are people in other positions on the field, the ability to hold the ball and go heads-up is not strong enough, and you can't give the hairstyle brother enough threat."

Kobe Bryant said: "We are different, I block with LeBron, Deron and Durant block, Paul and Anthony block, no matter who faces the hairstyle brother in the end, one-on-one pulls away, you can blow him up." ”

"Hmm...... What about the defensive end? Gasol asked.

"On the defensive end, the reason why you can't change defenses infinitely and put constant defensive pressure on the hairstyle brother is the same."

Bryant shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your perimeter defenders aren't fierce enough, and there are too few defenders above the level. Fernandez, Ginobili, and Batum defend the hairstyle, not to mention the effect, the physical consumption of him is always large enough. But what about after the change of guard? Calderon? Barbossa? Just kidding! ”

"I ......"

Calderon, who was about to step forward to shake Kobe's hand, had embarrassment on his face capitalized......

"It's not against you, it's true."

Kobe Bryant has always been straightforward, and said without scruples: "You go up to prevent hairstyle, that's for nothing." Originally, when they played Argentina, the Chinese team could have allowed the hairstyle brother to hide, but they didn't do so, obviously to prepare for the battle with us. So you see, in the hearts of the Chinese team, it is impossible for you Spain to win...... Well? What about the Chinese team?? ”

Several people turned around when they heard this, and on the stands, where were the Chinese players.

At the same time, the Chinese team shuttled the bus.

“…… What do you think? ”

The players barely said a word along the way, and after a long time, Chen Mu broke the tranquility, looked back at Gu Yu and said: "The American team will definitely use all the outside offensive players to attack you and consume you, do you think...... Can it hold up? ”

"In my dictionary, there is no such thing as 'untenable'."

Gu Yu shook his head domineeringly.

“…… There is no such thing as 'untenable' in the modern Chinese dictionary, well, it's a phrase! ”

Liu Wei complained, everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere was finally relaxed.

"Hahaha...... Okay, don't make a fuss, let's be serious. ”

Chen Mu was also happy, and after laughing a few times, he said, "The game just now...... What do you think? ”

The bus fell into a deathly silence once again.

“…… It's too strong. ”

After a long time, Sun Yue looked at his knees, shook his head and said, "Team America...... It's too strong. ”

Sun Yue is under pressure, that's normal. In the last game, the U.S. team deliberately experimented with the way the back line led the attack, and after great success, this game, because the Spanish back line attack firepower is also extremely ferocious, the U.S. team's attack focus has returned to the small forward position.

Spain, a formidable opponent, has forced about eighty or ninety percent of the star-studded stars in the small forward position of the U.S. team.

Sun Yue finally clearly saw the strength of the No. 3 position of the American team.

Moreover, Sun Yue has always had a thought in his heart that made him extremely uneasy:

Two in a row.

In both games in a row, the U.S. team won with exactly the same scoring statistics as the Chinese team in their previous games.

Is all this really just an accident......?

A day later.

The finals are coming.
