Chapter 291: The Might of Dream Eight
Liu Wei ran forward with the ball with difficulty, and after half time, he saw Paul pressing towards him, so he threw the ball to Li Nan, who came on as a substitute, and as a result, he waved his hand, and Paul, who was bent over, seemed to step on a spring, jumped up with a swish, and stabbed the ball with his fingers.
In this way, the ball suddenly changed direction, and originally flew straight towards Li Nan, but now it distorted the angle and flew to the side. James strode up, grabbed the ball in his arms, and after getting the ball, he smiled and ran to the front court with the ball.
"Hurry back to defense!" Little Nelson shouted anxiously, he knew the strength of the Dream Eight team very well, once they let them steal, it would definitely be a crazy counterattack.
Liu Wei and Li Nan were stunned, but they didn't expect the guards and forwards to react so quickly, and after the two paused, they all shouted angrily and chased forward with all their might.
After the steal, the little emperor walked on the side, and after a few steps, he had already stepped over the three-point line, and immediately put away the ball and prepared for a three-step layup, at this time he subconsciously looked back and saw a person in a big red robe flying up from behind, and quickly stuck behind him, he couldn't help but gasp, knowing that it was Chamberlain who was chasing.
The entire Chinese team, including the guards, no one can have the terrifying speed of Chamberlain, and knowing this, the little emperor quickened his pace, holding the ball high with both hands to get up and go to the basket.
"Get out!" Chamberlain shouted angrily, he stepped on the floor with one foot, and despite the danger of being unsteady on his feet, his calves rose into the sky, and although the little emperor jumped fast enough, he still chased after him in the air.
The head coach of Mengba off the court grinned, this Chamberlain's physical fitness is excellent, I am afraid he is already the first person in contemporary basketball, the key is that he still has room to grow, and his playing attitude is also very hard, the growth limit of this kind of person, thinking about it makes him afraid.
Chamberlain's defensive ability is absolutely not to say, even if he is as strong as the little emperor, he can feel the huge pressure behind him, he has a high ball quotient, and clearly understands that if he forcibly shoots at this time, he will definitely have to eat a hat, but what if he doesn't shoot, he is flying?
This is the ability between top players, the little emperor turned his head slightly in the air, and the ball that was raised above his head was suddenly put away and thrown back.
Seeing this, Chamberlain's heart sank, and the secret way was not good!
Sure enough, the ball landed in the hands of the little emperor, bounced off after hitting the floor, and a fierce figure behind it struck in like lightning, and let out an angry shout when he received the ball, like the god of war possessed and leaped into the air, and when everyone didn't react at all, he grabbed the ball with both hands and slammed it into the back of his head, like splitting Huashan, and smashed it into the basket!
"Peng!"
A loud thunderous bang spread through the megaphone on the rebound, and Wade hit his chest hard after landing on the ground, yelling at Chamberlain: "You are alone, can you prevent you personally?!" ”
He blushed and said nothing, picked up the ball and threw it to Liu Wei, this time he did not go directly to the inside, but followed Liu Wei behind, as soon as Paul went up and pressed, he received the ball.
Now he finally knows how he used to be in the blessing and didn't know the blessing, and a point guard partner like Billups, it's really a kind of happiness, Chamberlain doesn't expect to have a master of Billups level in the national team, but there is an Azubuke Curry Jr., if you can't give me an Ellis, I don't need him to attack, I can dribble the ball stably, and I can pass the ball to the inside.
Fortunately, Chamberlain had practiced ball control before, and at this time he had passed the free throw line, he was still skillful with the ball and ran a few steps to quickly approach the three-point line.
Chamberlain didn't stick to the ball, he put the ball away and handed it to Yao Ming on the inside.
Yao Ming has a lot of physical strength at this time, and there is no one to help defend or trap, Howard is behind him, this kind of defense is useless to him, he is afraid of defending around the front such as Oku, and he is also afraid of encountering a trap before he gets to the right position, as Oku and Boozer did together, Howard's traditional passive defense is useless to him.
With two pushes back, Yao Ming used his strength and weight to force Howard to defend with all his strength, and then he took a step to the side and jumped up to hit a small hook.
The stadium resounded with the cheers of the fans, and it was good to score goals, although not as beautiful and wonderful as the dream team.
The Dream Team has a great advantage on the outside, Paul and Liu Wei don't dare to go up and press with the ball, only when they get closer, Paul can easily break through him and kill it.
Kobe Bryant was cruising outside the three-point line, Paul glanced at it, and handed the pass freely, seeing this, Sun Yue hurriedly bent down and stood one meter away from him defending.
Seeing this, Kobe Bryant showed his trademark handsome smile on his face, he held the ball in both hands and pinched it on his waist, and faced Sun Yue and directly raised the ball upright to pull up and jump. Sun Yue's footsteps were immediately unstable, he had no choice, although pulling out three points was Maddy's signature move, but everyone knew that Kobe Bryant would too, he could only go up and defend closely.
Just when Sun Yue took his first step to get close, Kobe Bryant moved.
The breakthrough is actually very simple, for the top masters, half a second is enough, just figure out where the opponent's center of gravity should be at the next moment, and wait for the opportunity to move, and the rest is to rely on speed and flexibility to open the distance with the opponent.
After Sun Yue took a step, Kobe Bryant judged the position of his center of gravity, and his right foot suddenly accelerated, and suddenly staggered with Sun Yue, who was on the right side of the center of gravity, and strode into the inner line.
At this time, Chamberlain was chasing Bosh on the right side of the baseline, and he could only shake his head and watch Kobe break into the penalty area.
Fortunately, there is no one in the restricted area of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming waved his arms to make up for the defense in time, Kobe Bryant braked and made two crotch dribble feints in a row, and then jumped up in front of Yao Ming, Yao Ming hurriedly followed to block.
Kobe Bryant jumped high, facing Yao Ming, who was taller and stronger than himself, he firmly raised the ball in his hand, but he didn't shoot directly, the two were like two flying gods fighting in the air, because of the gap in air ability, Yao Ming fell first
Seeing the opponent fall first, Kobe Bryant's waist board was slammed, and he actually rose up to the top of the mountain, changed his right hand in the air to his left hand, and hooked his hand to wipe the ball into the board.
Dream Eight's lead is getting bigger and bigger, the audience can no longer sit still, some people sigh in frustration, at this time something more exciting for the players on both sides appeared, the stadium suddenly sounded a noisy shout, the players couldn't help but look over to the stands, only to find that US President George W. Bush walked into the stadium under the escort of bodyguards.
There was a vacant seat behind Dream Eight, and when Bush Jr. walked over, he high-fived the players in turn, and then shouted to Kobe Bryant, who had just scored on the court: "Cool, Black Mamba, I'm your fan!" That's it, defeat your opponents! ”
The leader of a country came to watch the game, and the excitement of the dream team was like a booster, and the dream team, which was already extremely brave, was even braver, and the outside line shot again and again, and it happened that Nelson Jr. replaced Chamberlain and Yao Ming off the court together, and the inside line was replaced by a combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, and the dream team seized this opportunity and began to perform.
Yao Ming and Chamberlain were on the floor at the same time and could not exert the energy of 1+1 greater than 2, the restricted area of international basketball is a bit small, and both of them cannot be inside, and the presence of two centers affected the team's defense, so Nelson Jr. temporarily replaced the two and discussed follow-up tactics with the two in person.
No matter how much energy Yao Ming and Chamberlain can exert together, now the Chinese team can rely on the two of them!
However, every player who can be selected for the Chinese team is also the elite of the elite, and each has its own skills.
Together with more familiar teammates, Zhu Fangyu used the high cover of his former teammate Yi Jianlian twice to hit 3 points, and Wang Zhizhi also tried to shoot 3 points as a center, and hit the same 2 times! Wang then took advantage of his experience to grab the ball from a passing error, and after getting the ball, he turned and scored a layup.
Although the Chinese team's offense was good, the defense was too bad, during which the American team found a fast rhythm of attack, and Wade and Little Emperor's continuous attacks easily made China fall behind 24-17. Only Zhu Fangyu and Wang Zhizhi can play on the field, and Yi Jianlian's confrontation with Boozer has fallen behind.
With 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in this section, Prince faced Zhu Fangyu and hit a 3-point shot to help the Dream Team start a wave of offense, they further strengthened the fast attack, and even directly served the ball after Wang Zhizhi's free throw to score in the half, James's empty dunk made Bush Jr. in the stands applaud, and Wade scored after 3 breakthroughs to help the United States play momentum.
By the end of the first quarter, the score had become an embarrassing 32-18!
In the second quarter, Nelson Jr., who had nothing to do, gritted his teeth, and he resent Chamberlain to the court, but this time Yao Ming was not allowed to play, and his assistants were Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan, Zhang Qingpeng and Wang Shipeng.
After all, Yao Ming is the number one superstar of the Chinese team, and the just-released Chamberlain has not yet won the favor of many old stars, and they shouted in unison: "We want Yao Ming!" Let Yao Ming play! We can't afford to give up on the game! ”
The cries of the fans stimulated Chamberlain, who simply did not care about any tactics or not, and spared no physical strength to prepare for a bloody battle with his opponent.
DeLong broke into the box with a powerful break, and he stopped two steps from Oxlain and threw a jump.
Chamberlain used his shoulder to forcefully knock away the substitute Xiao Si, like an ancient beast, roared and soared into the air, the fans at the scene suddenly exclaimed, Chamberlain's jump gave people the feeling that he really flew, even if Delong threw so high, but the ball was still on the way to fly, he still let him slap down!
Zhang Qingpeng, who was following behind, grabbed the ball, Wade on the side wanted to come up and pull out the ball, he raised his elbow to protect the ball, showing his blood: It was too embarrassing to be pressed and beaten just now!
After getting the ball, Zhang Qingpeng ran forward quickly, Wade returned to defense in time, he kept squeezing Zhang Qingpeng with a strong body, this time the latter played an extraordinary ability, his shoulders shook vigorously, and his feet were mixed with reality in the forward, and several consecutive changes of direction made Wade's defense uncertain, so that the fast break was finally not stagnated, and Zhang Qingpeng quickly dribbled the ball to the three-point line.
However, Kobe Bryant and Delong also returned to the defense in time, and Zhang Qingpeng killed it head-on, and jumped when he got to the penalty area.
Kobe Bryant's slender body spread his wings like a roc, jumping in the air to seal Zhang Qingpeng's shooting space, the latter had no choice but to increase the intensity of his shot, and the basketball bounced off the hoop.
The fans sighed regretfully, but the basketball just began to fall, and a sturdy body squeezed in between Kobe Bryant, Zhang Qingpeng and others who had just landed, like a tyrannosaurus broke into the Triassic, and Kobe Bryant and others, who had not yet stood firmly, were knocked away, roared after catching the ball, and then jumped up and smashed the ball into it with a bang!
Chamberlain's counterattack began!
