Chapter 149: Fighting Black Mamba and The Flash

When the Wukesong Stadium ushered in the last game of this Olympic Games, the starters of the two teams participating in the men's basketball final were already standing on the court.

The U.S. team lineup is as follows: point guard Paul, point guard Kobe, small front James, big forward Anthony, center Howard. The U.S. team, which used to suffer under the regional defensive system of European teams. This time, under the leadership of the old coach K, who is familiar with the joint defense tactics, Anthony, who covers the entire half of the court with a shooting range, plays the power forward and completely solves the once unsolvable problem.

The Chinese team's starters have changed from the previous games, point guard Liu Wei, point guard Sun Yi, small forward Sun Yue, big forward Yi Jianlian, center Yao Ming.

Head coach Younas also racked his brains for this game against the world basketball hegemon. The Chinese team, which used a 2-3 joint defense, intended to protect its own penalty area with heavy troops. Scheduling Liu Wei to start is not to make him the brains of the team. His role is just a 'fake point guard real pitcher', because the star-studded American men's basketball team will never let traditional point guards like Paul, Williams, and Kidd become the team's main point of attack, and the defensive pressure will be much less than his defense.

The real strength of the opponent is still in the quarterback position, Kobe, Wade, and Reed are all top-notch scorers in the NBA. If this position is defeated by the opponent, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, Sun Yi, who has strong personal ability, has become the only trump card that Coach Younas can count on.

The small forward position is arranged for Sun Yue to play, mainly for James. Although the technical and physical abilities of the two are not at the same level at all, Sun Yue's height and arm span are much more advantageous than Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan. Of course, this is also a helpless move.

Yi Jianlian will definitely suffer against Anthony, but there is no better choice for this Chinese team at present. The only advantage is Yao Ming vs. Howard, judging from the experience of the two in the NBA, Da Yao has the absolute upper hand in the face of the Magic's center forward. The most worrying thing is that the captain of the Chinese team, who has just come out of a serious injury, is in very poor physical condition.

When Sun Yi stood with Kobe, his idol of his youth, the excitement made him tremble. I rub! It's true. It's really Corbyer!

After the jump ball started, the U.S. team got the ball smoothly. After handing it to Paul for half court, the ball came to Kobe's hand. The captain of the Dream Eight team, who was standing outside the three-point line with the ball, looked at the young man who was one step away, and said habitually. "What's your name?" Kobe Bryant, who has been imitating Jordan. Bryant, let's not talk about the skills and achievements. Just like the aspect of educating the league newcomers, the core players of the Lakers can be regarded as ten out of ten.

The intensity of trash talk of idols has no feeling at all for Sun Yi, who has lived in the United States for 6 years. Focused on the game, he just wants to prove himself with his strength.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Kobe Bryant seemed to feel a little bored. Soon he put the ball in James' hands again, and ran to the other side with his defenders.

"It's boring! Do you really like to waste your energy on saliva? "The young Chinese player doesn't mind hitting the opponent with words when the opponent is off the ball.

Hey! Kobe Bryant looked back in some surprise at the rookie player next to him who was about to enter the NBA. Interesting little guys! Competitive to the extreme, he immediately accelerated from the sideline to the top of the arc and spread his hands to the ball.

Sun Yi, who was chasing after him, kept sticking to each other with his body as if he were nothing. When Kobe Bryant received the ball, the All-American Defensive Player, who had been trained by the defensive master 'Collinson', took a slight step with his left foot and stuck the opponent's habitual breakthrough route.

Hey! Kobe, who has been moving very consistently, seems to be like a young woman who is ready to meet the climax, and suddenly finds that the man lying on her body has fallen thousands of miles, and this feeling of not being up or down is very uncomfortable.

The Chinese guy who grew up watching Kobe Bryant play is of course very aware of the other party's habits. Although he temporarily limited his opponent's intention to break through, he still didn't dare to be careless. After all, this is a real superstar.

The captain of the U.S. team, who lost the opportunity to break through at the first time of receiving the ball, looked at the less than 8 seconds of the round time, and immediately forced the young opponent in front of him with a stabbing move.

"Kobe vs. Sun Yi, this is a duel between the outside aces of the two teams." Yu Jia's explanation, if known by the American media, is estimated to be angry.

"Kobe Bryant looks like he's going to play, and Sun Yi's defensive distance is well controlled. Ooh! Really voted. It's amazing, in the face of the defense that has been sealed to the face, you can still throw the ball in, this is the strength, you can't accept it! "Dubbed 'reasonable' by the fans. Bryant's Zhang director, in fact, the real idol of worship is Phil. Jackson.

Kobe, who hit a three-pointer, didn't spew trash talk again this time. HE JUST MADE A 'SOEARY' FACE TO TELL HIS OPPONENT THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF.

Although his defense was very good just now, the opponent was still able to throw the ball accurately. Sun Yi, who had been mentally prepared, was indifferent to Kobe's provocation.

After dribbling past half court, he passed the ball to Liu Wei, and he ran without the ball along the sideline.

"Hey! Kid, aren't you going to hit me back?" Kobe Bryant's trash talk is not humorous at all. Not even, there are any features. What really makes him great is that he can do what he says.

After several outside transmissions, the ball came to Sun Yi, who was 45 degrees outside the three-point line. When he saw that Yao Ming had already taken a good position, he did not hesitate to hoist the ball in. After all, Da Yao is currently the only strong point that is sure to score.

Swish! After super center Yao Ming shook the slightly immature Howard with two fantasy dance steps, an easy low-handed layup scored the first point of the final for the Chinese team.

……

In the 3rd minute of the first quarter of the game, Sun Yi finally made a shot. Use your speed advantage and flexibility to dodge Kobe Bryant, who defends you, and directly stops and shoots.

Swish! Hit!

Sun Yi scored, and in the face of Kobe's defense, a beautiful mid-range shot scored two points. Now he has become the other Chinese player to score in addition to Yao Ming. Yu Jia also said that the core of the Lakers, who felt quite smooth in this game, had already shot two unreasonable three-pointers in a row.

After that, you went back and forth, and the dominant American men's basketball team never opened the score between the two sides, and the score difference was maintained within 5 points. This situation was finally changed when the Chinese team began to rotate their main players. In just three minutes, the United States team, which is superior in strength, played a wave of 7-0 small climax.

At the end of the first quarter, they led the Chinese team by 10 points at 28-18.

Although Sun Yi has now mastered the realm of a defensive master and can judge the opponent's intentions most of the time, a player of Kobe's level is not enough to rely on these. Maybe it's because you're too slow, or maybe the other party is too fast. Sun Yi felt that his defense had been done to the extreme, but 'Black Mamba' was still able to shoot and hit under his interference. Bryant, who played 9 minutes in the first quarter, scored a team-high 10 points.

In fact, Sun Yi also felt good today, scoring 6 points on three of four shots, including a fast-break dunk after a steal. But overall, his style of play is not as aggressive as in previous games.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the United States team, which has a strong lineup, still uses a rotating lineup to deal with the main force of the Chinese team.

Sun Yi, who was dribbling the ball, was secretly fascinated when he saw Wade with a focused expression in front of him. This game is really exciting, I just played against the first quarterback, and I can immediately continue with the second quarterback!

I looked at it and saw that there were no good opportunities. He passed the ball to Liu Wei on the other side of the arc, after all, the team's main attack point now is Da Yao.

"It's not good, the Chinese team made a mistake as soon as they came up in the second quarter. Liu Wei's passing intention was too obvious, and he was cut off by Prince's diagonal stab. The ball is passed to Wade, and it's time for a fast break......"

Looking at Wade, who had just dribbled past half of the court, Sun Yi was not frightened by the name of the opponent's 'Flash', and kept chasing after him.

Faced with such a good opportunity, the Heat's leading players were ready to end the battle with a violent dunk. He was jumping up and down from the three-second zone when he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him.

What the heck? So fast! Wade, who felt the crisis, immediately accelerated the movement of his hands, wanting to complete this violent dunk before the opponent's defense arrived.

Burst!

A large hand appeared in front of 'The Flash' without warning and stopped precisely in front of his right hand holding the ball.

Due to Sun Yi's height and arm span, he jumped from the side and gave his opponent a chasing side cap!

The ball that lost control smashed into Wade's calf and rolled out of the bottom line. Beautiful defense, the Chinese team regained the ball.

Airplanes! The audience in the audience gave an earth-shattering cheer for this incredible defense. It also includes the Spanish men's basketball team and the Lithuanian men's basketball team, which have just finished the bronze medal battle, as well as the women's basketball teammates who cheered them on.

Tamara can finally cheer for her boyfriend's wonderful performance without being stared at by her teammates in amazement......

When Yu Jia and Zhang Lizhi were facing Sun Yi's pursuit of defense this time, the high-definition slow-motion footage that was used for the first time in the domestic broadcasting industry had already calculated the 100-meter speed of the offensive and defensive two.

Wade dribbled the ball, but at an astonishing speed of 10.7 seconds/100m. Sun Yi, who sprinted empty-handed, ran a terrifying time of 10.4 seconds/100 meters. Of course, this is only calculated based on the sprint speed of the two of them for more than ten meters.

Wade, known as the 'Flash', really didn't expect that someone would be able to catch up with him and successfully defend when he played a fast attack. He doesn't like trash talk, so he glanced at the young opponent next to him and secretly decided that he had to get back on the field.

Sun Yi, who organized the attack with the ball, adjusted his breathing after the sprint defense just now, while looking for weaknesses in the opponent's defensive line.

saw that when Yao Ming came to the high post with Bosh, he immediately took advantage of the high-quality cover of his teammates, shook off Wade, who was in hot pursuit, and rushed to the Raptors in the opponent's penalty area with the ball.

Chris. Bosh squinted at the young players who were getting closer and closer to him, did he want to burst or shoot? Just as Bosh was wandering, he saw the long-haired guy with a red rope on his head, and with an inadvertent flick of his wrist, the ball instantly crossed his head.

Not good! By the time Bosh reacted, the little giant, who was 2.26 meters tall, had already completed the empty catch and hung high on the hoop......

The Chinese team, which was full of momentum, continued to narrow the score in the next 4 minutes. It wasn't until Coach K changed to the starting lineup that the scores of the two teams were entangled again. 33 to 33!

Sun Yi's luck is good, his gambling strategy of preventing sudden and unstoppable throws, today happened to meet the time when 'The Flash' was not feeling good. Although, the opponent used his super strength attribute and not weak physical flexibility to score 5 points (one of which was 2+1), but Wade's efficiency was not high, only 2 of 6 shots.

On the Chinese team's side, it is Sun Yi and Yao Ming's blocking and dismantling cooperation. The two are constantly forming a dislocation, and then throwing or bursting.

When Kobe Bryant stood on the court again and faced the young NBA recruit in front of him, the expression on his face was much more solemn. After all, he also came from a young age. When sitting on the sidelines and resting, it can be seen that the No. 6 player of the Chinese team is getting more and more excited and confident as the game progresses.

No, I'm going to completely defeat this opponent, and that big guy on Team Rocket will be alone!

The re-emerging Lakers superstar has been eyeing the Knicks' rookie onslaught whenever he gets the chance. Three-point, mid-range shot, backwards, breakthroughs, that is, Kobe's feel has declined, or it really blew up the young Sun Yi.

Before the end of the second quarter, after Kobe Bryant played a 2+1, the U.S. team had a 10-point lead at 54-44.

"Xiao Yi, you can't go on like this." Yao Ming, the leader of the national team, patted his little brother on the shoulder and said: "You have to use offense to share your own pressure, blindly passive defense, that guy will fight more and more crazy." ”

Beads of sweat continued to roll down Sun Yi's cheeks, and some rapid gasping made the young national team newcomers a little embarrassed.

"I understand, Brother Yao!" Sun Yi is a very brainy player who can understand the meaning of the captain's words. It's just that in his basketball career, it was the first time he encountered such a strong opponent, and it was difficult to adapt for a while.

"The next attack is up to you." Yao Ming looked up at the timer behind the basket, and there were 18 seconds left before the end of the first half......

When Bryant hit a free throw, the U.S. team's lead came to 11 points.

Bang Bang Bang! Sun Yi, who dribbled the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the arc, looked at the large open field behind his opponent. Without too much fancy dribbling, accelerate the breakthrough directly from the left side.

Although not as tall as Kobe, speed has become the winning weapon of this young player.

In the face of the opponent's lightning breakthrough, the captain of the American team did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly lowered the center of gravity and retreated.

Chirping! The 'Generation of Sun's' conspicuous red soles and wooden floors made a cacophony of rubbing.

Seeing that the opponent's center of gravity was moving, the long-haired guy with a red rope on his head suddenly retreated from his crotch and dribbled. Syllable! When the ball returned to the palm of his hand, he immediately made a pull-up jump shot with a slight backwards.

Although Kobe Bryant's second reaction was very fast, the one-step distance between the two still allowed the No. 6 player of the Chinese team who jumped high to complete the shot.

It's too high! Can't be capped at all!

The ball spinning rapidly in the air plunged headlong into the hoop, and there was a burst of white spray!

"Looks good! That's what a McDonald's All-Star MVP should be. Kobe, who commented on Sun Yi's high school All-Star Game, said in a deep voice with an expressionless face. However, no one knows if the 'MVP level' refers to themselves or their opponents. (To be continued.) )
