Chapter 109: Powerful, Unreasonable (Fourth Update)
On September 9, 2006, at the Central Gymnasium of Wuhan, the final of the 19th Men's Basketball Asian Youth Championship was underway.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Chinese team was in trouble, and the team fell behind by double digits at one point due to the poor performance of the starting power forward and the team's strongest player, Chen Mu, who was trapped by the isolation tactics of the South Korean team.
In the ensuing game, the Chinese team gradually regained its senses, and under the leadership of Chen Jianghua, they fought to catch up, and the first quarter ended, only 4 points behind.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Chen Mu, who returned full of blood, launched his indiscriminate killing drill.
"Bang!"
After the rebound in the front court, he pulled up an angry dunk, and Choi Fujing, the South Korean interior line who defended Chen Mu, was directly bounced away by Chen Mu and almost fell to the ground.
"Good ball, good ball! Steady! ”
Chen Jianghua and Chen Mu high-fived each other, the internal and external core state rebounded, and the game entered a tug-of-war again.
The South Korean team's main control "demon" Kim Shi-lai advanced with the ball, and quickly divided the ball after blocking and dismantling the high position in the front court, and Li Dacheng on the outside pointed up Han Shuo with a fake action and strode into the inside line.
Under the basket, Su Wei was attracted to one side by South Korean center Choi Jin-so, and the Chinese team was empty in the three-second zone.
At the moment when the basketball in his hand just left his hand, a figure jumped out of nowhere, flew into the air, and then waved his big hand and directly fanned the ball to the rebound.
"Pegboard hat!"
The commentator exclaimed, the fans in the audience cheered thunderously, and Chen Mu did not stop after landing, and immediately rushed to the front court.
The basketball rebounded, and was caught by Chen Jianghua steadily, and then with a long pass, the basketball flew towards Chen Mu like an eye.
After receiving the ball, Chen Mu only had Kim Sun-hyung in front of him to return to the defense, Chen Mu did not hesitate, stepped into the free throw line, and then rose from the ground and glided towards the basket.
"This guy ......!"
Kim Sun-hyung knew that it was not good, but it was too late to dodge, so he had to reach out and push in the air, wanting to block Chen Mu's dunk with a foul.
However, after honing half a season in the NBA, Kim Sun-hyung's strength is too weak for Chen Mu, this push not only failed to push Chen Mu away, but allowed him to fly higher with his strength, and at the same time as the referee's whistle, his right hand stretched forward, his body flew almost sideways in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket.
"The South Korean team fouled defensively, the goal was valid, and one free throw was added!"
As soon as the referee's verdict came out, the fans immediately jumped up from their seats, the sound swept the field, the red flag kept waving, and the situation on the field was reversed in an instant!
"Chen Mu! Attaboy! Chen Mu! Attaboy! ”
In the corner of the stands, the fan group of Chen Mu, who called himself "sawdust", was even more cheering instantly, and couldn't stop applauding Chen Mu's wonderful performance.
Hitting the free throw steadily, Chen Mu arrogantly returned to the defense, and did not forget to stare at his right hand along the way, his eyes were full of surprise, and he seemed to be shocked by the incredible slam dunk he had just made.
The score overtook the Chinese team, the momentum of the Chinese team improved, the defense was more targeted, the South Korean team conducted on the outside, but never found an opportunity, and finally Choi Jinxiu cut to catch the ball and shot three points.
The short center, while he does have three-point range, is not a traditional shooter after all, and the basketball arc is slightly flat, smashing into the front frame and popping up.
Chen Mu came to the vicinity of the rebound landing point, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Korean players had already surrounded him, and knew that the opponent was going to be caught in situ, so he immediately changed his strategy, carried his back, and firmly stuck the Korean players who rushed behind him, and then glanced at Su Wei under the basket.
"You're here to grab the rebound!"
Reading the information in Chen Mu's eyes, Su Wei reflexively stepped forward to grab the rebound, handed the ball to Chen Jianghua's organization, and slowly ran to the front court.
Chen Mu ...... Why did you give me the rebounds just now? ”
In the process of running, Su Wei was puzzled, and he didn't quite understand why Chen Mu, who had always been "self-respecting" in this Cup, suddenly gave himself the opportunity to brush his data.
"Could it be that he has changed sex?"
Recalling the last time Chen Mu returned to China, he was single-handedly on the court, and he specially let himself score a few more goals to save face, the knot in Su Wei's heart was gradually untied, and when he looked at Chen Mu who was running all over the field, he also had a little more trust.
"Obviously the strongest player on the court, if he wants to, I probably won't be able to grab a rebound. But for the sake of my feelings, he deliberately gave me the rebound! ”
"Maybe we all misunderstood him before, and always felt that when we came back from the United States, we would definitely put on a high-minded posture and be superior to others. In fact, in retrospect, he didn't do anything to look down on us! ”
Thinking about all this, Su Wei couldn't help but look up to Chen Mu a little more.
"Even he is so desperate, how can I drag the team back!"
With such a belief, Su Wei was even more full of morale, gritted his teeth, and devoted himself to the attack.
The continuous transmission failed, and the basketball was passed to Chen Mu's hands.
The Chinese team members spread out to the side, giving up a small half of the court, giving Chen Mu a chance to go head-to-head.
Chen Mu held the ball with his back, behind him was Cui Fujing's defense, and in his ears, the footsteps of other Korean players sounded, and Chen Mu immediately appeared in his mind the moment he held the ball, and the position on the field.
"It was Cui Zhenxiu who was wrapped up behind him, and it should be Jin Shilai who ran from the left side without accident, that is to say, Su Wei and Chen Jianghua are empty!"
Clearing his thoughts in an instant, Chen Mu paused slightly, deliberately waited until the bag clamp was in place, and at the moment when Jin Shi came to break the ball, he suddenly made a crotch pass, and the basketball crossed the three-second zone and came to Su Wei's hands.
"Bang!"
Su Wei dunked and scored, roaring to the sky as if venting, and the fans in the audience burst into passion, all applauding this big man who was silent.
"It's beautiful!"
and Su Wei high-fived fiercely, Chen Mu's eyes were full of murderous energy, and he went all the way back to defense.
Kim Shi-rae's expression did not change, and the coach of the Korean team on the sidelines also gave enough trust to the players and did not call a timeout.
But in the next round, Kim Shi-rae understood a fact:
This game will be completely dominated by Chen Mu!
On the offensive end, the South Korean team quickly dispersed, crossed the baseline and ran the ball, and reversed the ball back and forth on the line.
In continuous off-ball cover, Cui Fujing received the ball in the ribs, and saw Chen Mu standing back in order to help defend him, and immediately shot a half-volley.
However, before the basketball had risen to the highest point, Chen Mu had already jumped forward quickly, jumped quickly with incredible bounce speed, and clicked on the bottom of the basketball.
Worst!
Cui Fujing knew that the trajectory of the ball had been changed, and Chen Mu would definitely grab the rebound next, so he made a look and reminded his teammates to wrap Chen Mu.
As Cui Fujing expected, the basketball failed to hit, Chen Mu turned around and grabbed the rebound, and the South Korean player immediately stepped forward to wrap it.
But before the bag clamp was formed, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand had already been passed out.
"Whoosh"
At the moment when he turned around to grab the rebound, Chen Muyuguang saw that Chen Jianghua was already about to fall, and Han Shuo and Xie Libin on the two wings also began to run to the frontcourt, obviously very relieved about their rebounds. So after grabbing the rebound, he didn't look at it, he threw it directly to the back of his head, and the basketball sprinted out like a missile, crossing the defensive line of the South Korean team, and came directly to the flank Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was stunned when he received the ball, he didn't expect Chen Mu to pass the ball to him first, and under Chen Jianghua's urging, he hurriedly got up and quickly entered the inside line, and scored a layup before the Korean players returned to defense.
"It's very comfortable!"
Returning to the defensive end, Han Shuo nodded to Chen Mu.
"Haha, it's not that you're running a thief enough~"
Chen Mu laughed and stretched out his hand, Han Shuo also responded with a smile and high-fived Chen Mu.
Chen Mu regained his hegemonic demeanor, and the morale of the Chinese team was greatly boosted, and in the cheers of the fans, he continued to play wonderful offensive and defensive performances.
At halftime, the Chinese team overtook the score, 50-42, and took an eight-point lead.
In this wave of attacks, Chen Mu's position and shot choices were extremely exquisite, and there were no more low-level mistakes. The continuous wonderful passes also revitalized the whole team, and the outside line Han Shuo and Xie Libin found their senses and threw themselves into the net again and again.
Chen Jianghua continued his unsolvable breakthrough, and Su Wei also got a few open opportunities and hit the basket. The Chinese team is full of firepower and maintains a strong offensive end.
On the defensive end, Chen Mu was even more divine, constantly interfering with the South Korean team's shooting and layups, grabbing rebounds one by one, passing the ball at the first time, and completely cracking the three-man package of the Korean team.
After the start of the second half, the "demon" Jin Shilai led the team to fight back, but I don't know if he felt that the first half was too harsh on Chen Mu, and the referee's blowing penalty began to be slightly biased towards the Chinese team.
The Chinese team made great progress, maintained a steady and steady point difference, and the substitute players also played well, and the game came to the end.
"Chinese team, come on! Chinese team, come on! Chinese team, come on! ”
In the cheers of the fans, Chen Jianghua controlled the ball steadily and lowered the success rate of the rhythm.
With little time left in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team already held a 14-point lead and led 97-83.
There was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and there was laughter on the bench of the Chinese team on the sidelines. In the VIP seat, the officials of the Basketball Association were also smiling and congratulating the staff of the Chinese team.
After a few years, the Chinese team finally defeated the South Korean team that eliminated itself last time in the final, and is about to win the Asian Youth Championship again!
The time was approaching, and when 24 seconds were about to expire, Chen Jianghua and Chen Mu made a high-post block, and then passed back.
Chen Mu took a step outside the free throw line to catch the ball, and seeing that the time was about to run out, he shot out with his hand.
"Huh"
The basketball fell into the basket in the desperate eyes of the Korean players, sent a baseline ball, and in the last three seconds, the Korean team missed a three-point shot, and the game was over.
"99 to 83, Chinese team! The Chinese team won the final! We are the champions! Our boys are the overlords of Asian youth basketball! ”
The commentators shouted loudly, the fans applauded, and the 19th Men's Basketball Asian Youth Championship finally ended.
Streamers were fluttering in the sky, and Chen Mu and his teammates stood on the podium, enjoying the cheers of the fans.
"This summer is over, so you can relax for a while~ haha!"
Chen Jianghua looked at Chen Mu and said with a smile: "You have to participate in the NBA preseason next season or something, right?" Next season you're in the NBA, I'm in the CBA, you have to hone hard! ”
"That's right." Chen Mu nodded and said, "But this summer has just begun for me!" ”
In front of Chen Mu's eyes, the system prompt flashed, and he won the Asian Youth Championship, and new rewards also appeared. (To be continued.) )
