At the beginning of the second half, Parker's side was also a little anxious, and he was only five shots defended by Yi Dun in the first half, and only hit two goals, this kind of offensive efficiency must be incomprehensible.

Even when it was playing in the NBA Finals, Parker had never encountered such a dilemma.

It's just that Eden's defense is too tight, and Parker doesn't want to score, but he really can't find a chance.

Because of his short height, Parker knew very well that if he dared to face Yi Dun's hard throw, he would definitely be blocked.

And if you use teammates to block and shoot, you can't completely get rid of Yi Dun with Parker's speed.

Parker's speed is good, but it's not as fast as people think, and his 100m speed is actually about the same as that of Eden, which is between 10.50 and 10.60 seconds.

Even his best breakthrough was not needed by Parker tonight.

The main reason is that Eden's defense is too targeted, it is completely a step Parker, don't underestimate this step, as long as Parker breaks through, Eden has plenty of time to deal with the blocking.

And because the bounce is so good and Parker's height is too short, even if he takes a step, Yi Dun is confident to block Parker's shot.

It's fair to say that Eden is a superstar for a small player like Parker, and unless Parker has the speed of Iverson, maybe the situation can turn around.

Parker felt that this game should be the most embarrassing game of his career, and he was so aggrieved that Parker didn't show any good face in the whole game.

If Yi Dun is just strong defensively, then Parker is not unacceptable, even if Yi Dun completely locks himself up, but his teammates are not vegetarians, and the average strength is definitely better than that of Chinese men's basketball players.

But now Yi Dun is not only strong defensively, but also strong in offense, rebounding and organization, and one person has almost all the work on the court.

Now that the second half has begun, Parker knows that if things don't change from the first half, their Olympic journey will be basically over.

But even if he wants to change the situation, Parker is powerless, and in front of the monster Yidun, Parker has no ability to fight back at all.

"Doot toot!"

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team won again, beating the French men's basketball team with a score of 92:73 by nearly 20 points.

Domestic fans rejoiced, knowing that the French men's basketball team is also regarded as a team with a hope of winning medals, and now it is so vulnerable in front of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The Chinese men's basketball team has taken off!

No one expected that after Yao Ming retired, the Chinese men's basketball team would have a chance to take off.

The Chinese men's basketball players celebrated on the court, and Yi Dun, the biggest contributor to the game, was surrounded by the crowd.

"Eden, we did it!"

"The Final Four, we're coming!"

"We made history!"

Yi Dun was also excited and couldn't restrain his smile, his offensive performance in this game was really eye-catching, and he scored 51 points alone!

In addition, there are 22 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, which is another statistic that can go down in the history of the Olympic Games.

Even if Eden has not played a single NBA game now, but with only these four Olympic games, Eden has been able to become a god in the basketball world!

……

entered the semi-finals, although the opponent below is the American Dream Ten team, but the domestic fans are also very happy.

Even if they lose the next game, the Chinese men's basketball team still has the hope of winning a medal, because there is still a battle for the third place.

If nothing else, the four teams that have reached the final four are China, the United States, Spain and Argentina.

If it was predicted before the game, I am afraid that no more optimistic Chinese fans would have thought that the Chinese men's basketball team would have come to this height.

A total of six games were played, except for the first two games of Yi Dun's absence and the fiasco, the next four games were all big wins, especially the game against the Australian men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team actually played the record of the highest single game in Olympic history.

It's just that this record didn't last long, and the next night's game between the United States and Nigeria may be that the United States doesn't want this record to fall on the head of the Chinese men's basketball team, or it may be that Nigeria's strength is too weak, resulting in the United States men's basketball team scoring a terrifying score of 151 points in a single game.

In just 40 minutes of the game, 151 points were cut, and some people must believe that this is a score scored in the performance entertainment game.

Is Nigeria weak?

That is indeed weak, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that if it were not for Yi Dun to turn the tide, the fate of the Chinese men's basketball team may not be stronger than Nigeria.

Nigeria lost all the group stage, and the Chinese men's basketball team may have the same fate.

Now the two most high-profile teams are about to meet in the semifinals, which is definitely a basketball event, especially for Chinese fans, and the next game will definitely be remembered for a lifetime.

Before the Chinese men's basketball team played against the American men's basketball team, fans wanted to see the performance of the American stars on the court, but this time it was different, and some optimistic fans even felt that the Chinese men's basketball team might overturn the American men's basketball team!

Their reason is very simple, the Chinese men's basketball team has beaten the opponent in these four games in a row, and the strength of the opponent is not weak, and the average can win the opponent by more than 20 points per game!

Can Team USA do it? It's possible, but it's also possible that they can't.

So if this game is really bad, the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely lose!

If they can really win against the American Dream Team, the fans will tremble with excitement just thinking about it.

……

On the night of the game, Eden slept very soundly.

If he can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to this height, he can be regarded as having completed his goal, and there are two games left, and he only needs to win one more game, and Yi Dun will be satisfied.

You can't become a fat man in one bite, Yi Dun never thought that he could lead the team to win gold in this kind of team event by himself, which is not a realistic thing to think about.

But I still have to work hard, even if there is only one percent hope.

……

Early the next morning, Eden was awakened by a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, there were three big black men standing at the door, and the shortest one looked like he was a little taller than him.

"Yi, my fellow, it's a pleasure to meet you." The shortest player, who looked like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, came up and wanted to give Yi Dun a hug.

Yi Dun hurriedly retreated, and he saw the hell early in the morning, where did the three big black men come from.

"Who are you?" Yi Dun asked curiously.

This question directly made the three of them look embarrassed, and the three of them officially thundered the three less, that is, Durant, Wei Shao and Harden, which can be regarded as a thunderous combination in the basketball circle.

I didn't expect Yi Dun to know them?!

The bearded Harden grinned: "Yi, we are players of the U.S. men's basketball team and players of the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder, maybe you don't pay attention to the NBA game, so you don't know us." ”

Yi Dun nodded, he did pay less attention, but when they said this, he was a little impressed.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Yi Dun asked calmly.

Who are you? It is no exaggeration to say that the status of these three in front of him in the sports world is still 108,000 miles away from him, and he definitely doesn't need to pretend to be surprised.

"Can you go in and talk?" The tallest Durant asked with anticipation in his eyes.

Eden nodded, "Come in." ”

The three big black men squeezed in, and Yi Dun didn't know what the three of them were thinking when they came to find him.

After sitting down, Yi Dun did not greet them politely, and looked at the three of them puzzled, hoping that the three of them could give a reason for their visit this time.

"Yi, we don't want to bother you early in the morning, but we really want to better express our sincerity, so we came earlier." Wei Shao, the shortest, spoke up to himself.

Yi Dun also wondered, who is the boss of these three? Isn't it usually the boss who speaks on this kind of occasion? Could it be that this short man is the boss of three?

"Sincerity? What sincerity is expressed? Yi Dun was even more puzzled, he and these three black men could be said to have an incomparable relationship.

Fortunately, Yi Dun learned a lot of English before, otherwise, it would be really difficult for the two sides to communicate now.

Wei Shao's side may also hear that Yi Dun's English is not very good, so he tries to speak it as simple as possible.

"That's right, the three of us would like to solemnly invite you to join our team on behalf of the Oklahoma City Thunder."

The corners of Yi Dun's mouth twitched, what are you kidding, and now you want to invite yourself to play on their team?

"Wait, I'll call someone over." Yi Dun felt that he needed to call Yi Jianlian over, and he couldn't communicate with these three black men smoothly.

called Yi Jianlian, and after a while, Yi Jianlian, who lived next door, walked in.

After seeing the three young thunderers, Yi Jianlian looked puzzled, and he didn't understand when Yi Dun got together with these three people.

Especially after seeing Durant, Yi Jianlian felt a little uncomfortable.

The main reason is that Yi Jianlian and Durant entered the league at the same time, and the order of the two is actually not very different.

Durant is the star of the 07 draft, and Yi Jianlian is the sixth pick, and the gap can be said to be very small.

can look at the status of the two now, it can really be said that there is a world of difference.

After sitting down, Yi Jianlian asked Yi Dun curiously in Chinese, "What are the three of them doing?" ”

"Let me guess, it's not going to recruit you to join the Thunder right now, is it?"

"It seems that yes, they really said that just now, you can ask carefully." Yi Dun said speechlessly.

Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly, he can't play in the NBA now, but someone on Yi Dun's side came to the pole to beg him to join.

However, Yi Jianlian also knows that if he has the strength of Yi Dun, there must be many people who come to the pole to ask him to join.

Yi Jianlian is also a lot more mature now, and calmly chatted with the other three, Yi Dun pricked up his ears on the side, and listened carefully, even if he could not understand much.

"You want Eden to join the Thunder?" Yi Jianlian asked straight to the point.

This time, Wei Shao didn't speak, but Durant opened his mouth, "Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed." ”

These words stung Yi Jianlian even more deeply, what do you mean by not seeing you for a long time? I was obviously playing in the Mavericks a few months ago, and I also played against the Thunder!

Durant's emotional intelligence naturally couldn't notice the unnaturalness of Yi Jianlian's face, and he continued to talk about himself.

"We really want to invite Yi Dun to join, you should know the current situation of our Thunder, we are really only one step away from winning the championship!"

"If Eden joins, you can imagine that the Thunder four will definitely win the championship and will completely dominate the NBA league, and there will be absolutely no opponents."

There was longing in Durant's eyes, and it was clear that he had a desperate desire for a championship.

Yi Jianlian nodded, he didn't doubt Durant's words at all, the current Thunder is really only one step away from the championship!

In the just-concluded 11-12 season, the Thunder beat the Spurs to reach the Finals, although the loss was more miserable, but you must know that Wei Shao and Harden in the Thunder's three young ones are still in the rookie contract period, to be precise, they are still rookies.

In this case, they can reach the Finals, even if there is no Yi Dun to join, as long as the Thunder can keep this lineup and let Wei Shao and Harden continue to grow, it will definitely be no problem to win the championship in the future.

And if Yi Dun joins the Thunder, then the championship will definitely not run, Yi Jianlian is extremely clear about this.

"Kevin, you should know it's impossible."

"You Thunder simply don't have enough salary space to sign Eden!" Yi Jianlian said with a smile.

Now that Wei Shao's rookie contract has just ended, the Thunder have already given him a maximum salary contract, counting Durant's maximum salary, this is already two maximum salary contracts, where can they still have the money to sign Yi Dun.

And that's not counting Harden, who just finished his third year of his career and has one year left to end his rookie contract.

If Wei Shao's contract has not been signed yet, it is easy to say, sell Wei Shao, and then use Wei Shao's salary to sign Yi Dun, so that Harden can continue to work for a year, even with such a lineup, Yi Jianlian feels that the Thunder can win the championship.

But now that Wei Shao's contract has been signed after all, it is impossible for a team to afford three top-salary players, at least the current situation is definitely unaffordable.

It's not that the team owner is reluctant to spend money, if there is no salary cap limit, even if the Thunder boss picks the door again, he will definitely sign Yi Dun at any cost.

But now there is a salary cap limit, a top salary player has to occupy at least 25 percent of the salary space, and three top salaries are 75 percent!

A team generally has a total of fifteen players in the squad, which means that there are twelve players left to share the remaining 25% salary space?!

The average person has an annual salary of more than one million, how can you find a decent role player.

You must know that Harden's annual salary in next year's rookie contract is already as high as $5.82 million!

Therefore, Yi Jianlian knows very well that with the current salary space of the Thunder, there is no possibility of signing Yi Dun at all, unless the Thunder dismantle the team, buy out a large number of players, and then sign all the role players to the cheapest.
