(In the case of the recent update is not powerful, the perverted big brother can still support the sharp knife all the time, touched!) Today's 5,000-word chapter is given to book friends who will never give up! ）

55 to 46!

When the Olympic men's basketball final broke at halftime, the powerful American Dream Eight team was nine points ahead of the Chinese team playing at home.

"Hey! Brothers! ”

Sun Yi, who was about to return to the locker room with his teammates, suddenly heard a familiar voice!

After the guy looked around, the expression on his face changed from doubt to surprise......

It's Thomas! Ha ha! It's really the friend I've known for 6 years! Wait, what's going on with the girl next to him? Looking at the intimacy of the two, it doesn't seem to be simple!

Thomas, who has followed in the footsteps of his friend's basketball for six years, finally ended this wonderful life journey after Sun Yi won the NCAA championship as he wished and announced his entry into the NBA.

Sun Yi's departure also made the Chicago real estate tycoon who lost his goal gradually move away from the college arena that was too difficult for him. Thomas, who has been with his friends and basketball, finally has time to find a new meaning in his life.

"Damn it! Why don't you give me a call! Sun Yi protested to his friend angrily.

"Haha! It doesn't matter. Come, let me introduce you. Thomas pulled the sweet-looking girl next to him, but with a shy look on her face. Linda! My girlfriend. He pointed to his friend again, "Your idol, you don't need to be introduced!" And, do you still think I'm bragging? ”

When the girl heard this, she was a little embarrassed to hide her pretty red face in her boyfriend's arms.

"Brother, you can. I've known you for so many years, but I didn't realize that your ability is not small. Brother, I just left on the front foot, and you will start a family right away! Sun Yi has never spared no effort in ridiculing his friends.

……

After the two chatted for a few words, Thomas looked puzzled.

"Sun, your match today makes me look strange."

"Huh? Unfamiliar? Have it? ”

"Of course, I never missed a single of your games!"

The No. 6 player of the Chinese team, who bowed his head slightly and pondered, said with a depressed expression. "Maybe the opponent is too strong, I feel that I have fought very hard and struggled."

"That's right!" Thomas, who snapped his fingers, seemed to think of something. "You felt like you were tied hand and foot with an invisible rope today, and you don't see the competitive temperament of the Duke Blues."

"It's different." Sun Yi replied with little confidence.

"What's the difference. Today's opponents are just different in name and appearance. You have to be yourself, and Linda and I will be cheering you on. Alright, you go back quickly! ”

"Come on! Grandchild! ”

……

After this brief episode, when Sun Yi returned to the locker room, his teammates had already wiped the sweat off their bodies and were ready to change into brand new game jerseys.

Head coach Younas and his assistants discussed in a solemn whisper.

Sitting in front of his locker, the newcomers to the national team could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere in this room. Da Yao, who was constantly replenishing water, was re-bandaging his ankles, Yi Jianlian, who was leaning on a chair and looking at the roof, Li Nan, a veteran who bowed his head and was silent, and even Sun Yue, who was usually the most active, also paid attention to the pair of untied and tied shoelaces......

Although they only trailed by nine points at halftime, the boys, who are known as the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history, seem to have lost the confidence to win. The opponent's strong individual ability and overall strength made every player feel a lot of pressure. Under the intensity of the NBA playoffs, their physical fitness has dropped dramatically. The men's basketball players, who have far exceeded the expectations of the Chinese people, are not willing to fall when they are only one step away from the championship.

The veteran Lithuanian man with rich coaching experience is well aware of the team's current predicament. Most CBA players lose their fitness too quickly in this kind of high-intensity resistance game. The strength of the main force and the substitutes are completely different by several levels. Of the 46 points scored in the first half, Yao Ming alone scored 18 points. Next, Sun Yi scored 10 points, Yi Jianlian 8 points, Wang Zhizhi 5 points, Li Nan 3 points, and Liu Wei 2 points.

The strong American team could not limit the play of the oriental giant, but Da Yao, who had just come out of a serious injury, was far from his best form. Especially physically, if the Chinese team can't share his offensive pressure in the second half of the game, I'm afraid Yao Ming will find it difficult to hold on even in the third quarter.

Who will share the burden? Or who can afford to share the burden for him? Younas's gaze turned to Sun Yi and Yi Jianlian. The newcomers of the national team, who took on most of the defensive pressure on the outside of the Chinese team, were combined by Kobe and Wade to score 20 points. But he used tenacious defense to force the opponent to only shoot at medium and long distances, and successfully protected the Chinese team's interior line, otherwise Yao Ming now has more than 2 fouls.

Yi Jianlian was one of the few players who could form a fast attack with Sun Yi, and two step-back mid-range shots in the first half against Anthony showed his excellent form and feel in this game.

It seems that the only way to salvage the defeat is to rely on these three players who have played in the NBA or are about to enter the NBA.

"Sun, I hope you can play more aggressively and aggressively in the second half." Younas told the team's most fitted players right now, even though the 20-year-old only had four minutes off in the first half.

"Coach, the pressure I face on the defensive end is very high......" Sun Yi, who wanted to win and was afraid of losing, was interrupted by the other party before he finished his explanation.

"Attacking and defending is always a contradictory choice in competitive sports. Maybe we're going to lose today, and instead of waiting until we run out of ammunition, I want my players to give it a go with strong opponents. Besides, I don't think that the Chinese men's basketball team, which is concerned by more than a billion people, will easily lose the game. ”

"I see, Coach!" It seems that the manager and Thomas have seen the problem with my game today. Sun Yi, can't you play in the face of your idol? Are you cowardly? Or is it too much respect for the opponent? Don't you want to prove your strength in front of them?

……

"Xiao Yi! Come on! Li Jinfeng, who was sitting behind the bench of the Chinese team, shouted encouragement for his son.

Sun Yi, who had just come back from the locker room and was about to return to the game, waved to his mother with a smile, and he also saw Coach Lao Li sitting with his father Sun Wenyuan. The basketball genius who has become the absolute main force of the national team has always been full of respect and love for his own basketball enlightenment coach.

The second half of the game began quickly, and the Chinese men's basketball team, which had a 15-minute break at halftime, launched a fierce attack as soon as it came up. With the frantic cheers of more than 18,000 spectators, the star-studded American Dream Eight team was suppressed for a while.

Especially Sun Yi and Yao Ming, who had recovered a little physical strength, constantly used the two of them to block and shoot with their incomprehensible blocking and dismantling. In just three minutes, the hosts, who had fought with their backs, quickly equalized the score. 55 to 55!

Coach K, who had been standing on the sidelines, had to ask for a pause to redeploy the team's tactics. This legendary head of Duke University, glanced at the former beloved apprentice not far away, this kid finally found the confidence he had lost for a long time. Unfortunately, it was not good news for the American team.

D'Antoni, the new assistant coach of the Dream Eight team, is very conflicted at this time. He wants to see the best in his players at this level of competition, but he is also worried about the United States team, which is aiming to win the championship......

As Bryant's hand turned cool in the third quarter, after returning from the timeout, the U.S. team stepped up Anthony's offensive at this point. This change can make Yi Jianlian, who is 2.13 meters tall, suffer. Defend out, the opponent has passed him. If you don't go out, you can shoot three points.

Younas, who was on the sidelines, although he also saw the opponent's intentions, but now on the bench of the Chinese team, it seems that he can't pick a player who can do better than Yi Jianlian......

Although the defense is tight, Sun Yi and Yao Ming's increasingly skilled cooperation also gives Americans a big headache, and the most depressed is Howard.

Every time he misplaced the number 6 defending the opposition, he would fall into Yi Jianlian-style distress. It's not out, it's not out. Especially that guy, it feels hot and hot. Four shots, no false shots, all hits.

In the third quarter, the game fell into a stalemate under the mutual pressure of the two teams.

When Kobe Bryant was substituted off the court in the 8th minute, the captain of the Dream Eight team threw the towel handed by Boozer to the ground in anger. He didn't feel good in this quarter, and only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting. And the NBA rookie who was just educated by him in the first half would use the block to evade his own defense every time to score points. wanted to stimulate the other party with trash talk, but the little guy who was so handsome that people were jealous would always show a mouthful of white teeth and smile to say that he didn't understand.

I'll load your TM's for me! The depressed Lakers superstar can only pour his anger on the towel that can't fight back.

With the rotation of the U.S. team, the Chinese team, which is playing at home, has also replaced the main players who have exhausted their physical strength. And Sun Yi became the only starter who stayed on the field.

The NBA Tanhua Show, which has already played its form, seems to feel that he has inexhaustible energy. Especially with the crazy cheering of the fans, in the face of the 'Flash' Wade, who had just come on the court, he used a signature dry three-point to give the Chinese team the lead for the first time in the second half.

67 to 66!

This beautiful goal made the teammates who were resting off the field raise their arms and shout. Especially the little giant Yao Ming, who stood up from his seat, waved the towel in his hand even more frantically......

However, the excited Chinese team members did not rejoice for long. Wade, who is extremely competitive, also hit a shot from outside the three-point line and overtook the score again.

Once he finds the Heat superstar who has a shooting touch, it is definitely not something that Sun Yi can guard against now. Anti-burst or anti-throwing, he can only choose one......

In the last three minutes of the third quarter, the game completely became a stage for the two to perform.

Here, Sun Yi hit a step-back jumper, and Wade immediately hit back with a step-back mid-range shot......

When the third quarter ended, Younas finally saw the light of day. 73 to 76! The Chinese team, which replaced most of the main players, was only three points behind the opponent.

The biggest contributor to the score was sitting on the bench panting for air. The constant sweat gushed out completely soaked his long flowing hair.

This newcomer to the national team who fought against the two external superstars of the other side alone made the old Lithuanian man both relieved and moved in his heart.

You must know that in the third quarter of the game, against Kobe, the captain of the Dream Eight team, Sun Yi played an overwhelming score of 10-2. Even against a physically energetic Wade, the young player was only slightly down 7-8. It can be said that this national team recruit has single-handedly kept the hope of the Chinese team to turn around.

……

"Kid, do you really think you can stop me?" The Lakers superstar, who returned to the court in the fourth quarter, squinted his eyes and said to the young opponent in front of him.

"Why not?" Sun Yi, who was completely confident and in shape, responded positively to his opponent's provocation in the match for the first time.

"We'll see!" After saying this, Bryant ran to his teammate Paul, who was in possession of the ball, and motioned for the opponent to pass the ball.

……

"The game started in the fourth quarter, the U.S. team had the ball, and now the ball is in Kobe's hands." The Chinese men's basketball team has been able to play with the Dream Eight team until now, which makes the young commentator Yu Jia very excited.

The familiar voice of Zhang Lizhi's guidance also sounded, "Kobe Bryant is going to prepare himself to see if Sun Yi can prevent it." Yo! He really dares to vote, and he can enter. This ball has been defended very well, there is no way, a player like Kobe Bryant ......"

The opponent once again ignored the interference and hit the shot, so that the young Chinese team teenager could only shake his head and smile bitterly. It is an impossible task to completely prevent this kind of well-honed shooting, and you can only hope that Lady Luck will take more care of you.

Sun Yi, who has been playing for 32 minutes, especially in the last few minutes of the third quarter, has to use more individual offenses to maintain the fragile balance of the scores of the two teams.

After beckoning Yao Ming to make a block, Sun Yi found that the opponent in front of him was still Kobe Bryant, who had just hit a mid-range shot under his own defense. It seems that the consumption of physical energy has not only greatly reduced the little giant's offensive ability, but even the incomparable cover has lost its previous effect.

"Yao Ming's physical fitness seems to have a problem, and he actually stood in place after blocking and dismantling." Seeing the increasingly unfavorable situation on the field, Yu Jia said anxiously.

"Sun Yi meets Kobe, throw or burst? Ooh! Pass the ball. Allen's air cut is very beautiful, wow! This dunk is too morale-boosting! Yi Jianlian, who suddenly cut into the air, received a pass from Sun Yi and used a violent dunk to extend the life of the precarious Chinese team.

"Yi Jianlian! Nice mid-pitch! Yao Ming was tired, Ah Lian stood up and helped the Chinese team bite the score! ”

Yi Jianlian's sudden outburst was the last tactical arrangement of head coach Younas. Use Yao Ming, who is no longer able to attack, as a pretense to let the big forward, who has a long-range shooting technique, pull to the outside to shoot. The U.S. team, which couldn't react for a while, was scored 8 points in a row by this Chinese player who broke out of the 'age gate'.

But the score was 83-88! The Chinese men's basketball team is still five points behind.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Kobe, who suddenly went violent, scored 10 points in a row on the head of the young Chinese team player, washing away the depression of the third quarter of the game.

With the large-scale decline in the physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball team, the score gap between the two teams is getting bigger and bigger.

In the case of the inability of his teammates to support, the No. 6 player of the Chinese team, who was facing a desperate situation, aroused the long-lost blood. First, he turned around and leaned back, and Kobe Bryant had no temper.

Immediately after the next attack, a change of direction accelerated to shake off the captain of the Dream Eight team, who was a little heavy-footed, and in the face of Howard's supplementary defense, this oriental guy with long broken hair bravely greeted him......

When he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, those resolute eyes were still firmly fixed on the orange basketball bouncing on the hoops......

2+1！ After completing this wonderful one-on-two, Sun Yi's amazing performance in the Olympic men's basketball game ended here.

With 2 minutes left in the game, the Chinese team, which was 17 points behind, replaced all the main players.

On the way to the bench, this newcomer to the national team, who played 40 minutes, couldn't help but shed tears of unwillingness and sadness! Victory had been so close to them that it seemed like it could be reached with an outstretched arm. However, the cruel reality always makes the hope in the heart even more stinging!

When the game was over, 109-90! The U.S. men's basketball team, which regained the world championship, celebrated wildly in the court! Many of the team members were in tears of emotion. Because, this heavy Olympic gold medal is very hard-won for those NBA superstars.

As the captain of this Dream Eight team, Kobe Bryant walked straight to the Chinese guy who was still sitting on the bench crying bitterly.

"Hey! Nabs! ”

The familiar and hateful voice, and an unfamiliar hug, made Sun Yi, who was immersed in grief, raise his head.

"Man, will swallow tears in his stomach. If you can't, you'll repeat it again and again in your NBA career. ”

Seeing the encouragement of his idol close at hand, the young Chinese basketball genius wiped the tears from his face very childishly. "Thank you, and the next time I meet you, I hope this comforting person is me."

"Really? Then I will be very much looking forward to this day. ”

……

In this confrontation with a huge disparity in strength, Yao Ming, who scored 18 points in the first half, was restricted by physical problems and only scored 6 points in the second half. Yi Jianlian, who was determined to prove himself, completed self-redemption and scored 18 points in the game. Sun Yi, a young player who played 40 minutes in the game, scored a high 32 points for both teams. Although Kobe Bryant and Wade combined to score 48 points on his head, no one will blame this rookie from the national team who has not even played a professional game.

In addition to Yao Ming's average of 25 points and 10 rebounds per game, Sun Yi, who averaged 22 points per game, became the second scorer of the national team, and also had an excellent record of 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

The magical Olympic journey of the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history will remain in the hearts of those who love Chinese basketball for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
