067 The End of the Crossbow
Strong crossbow.
But it just so happens that there is also an idiom in China called "the end of the strong crossbow".
At the end of the crossbow, the arrows fired by the crossbow have reached the end of its range.
The metaphor is that the great power has weakened and is not of much use.
Yang Yiming was the most powerful offensive point of the Chinese team in the fourth quarter, a super strong crossbow. But when he was out of the limelight, he was inevitably surrounded and suppressed by the entire American team, trying to confirm the idiom of the end of the strong crossbow in him!
After all, who can keep cutting points all the time.
At least in the eyes of the players of this dream team, how can the role of such a lone hero be played by a Chinese?
Coach Popovich called a timeout, and he adjusted his lineup to replace Myles Turner with Blake Greenfin, Victor Oladipo for Kevin Booker, and Klay Thompson for Mike Conley. The Dream Team's on-court five Tigers will become a five-man lineup of Griffin, Thompson, Oladipo, Beal and Lowry.
And more importantly, three of them, Griffin, Oladipo and Lowry, when they didn't know it, were overheard by Yang Yiming in the airport bathroom, talking about the purpose of their trip to China: Lowry can be happy if he has a ball game, Oladipo wants to take the opportunity to establish a position in the second team of the Dream Team, Griffin is the most unforgiving, he came to China, not for others, it is Yang Yiming who has a grudge against him in Stamps!
All three of them are on the field at the same time!
Sure enough, Griffin appeared in the fourth quarter and officially faced Yang Yiming for the first time in this confrontation game, and it was menacing. When he wanted to take the position, he was unceremoniously, relying on his white monster tiger's body and squeezing Yang Yiming directly into the paint area. As soon as the ball was passed into his hand, he turned 180 degrees, did not move his left foot as the pivot, and took a big step with his right foot, stepping directly on the line of the reasonable collision zone. Taking advantage of his position, Griffin immediately made a second move, dribbling a step and hitting Yang Yiming's chest with his left shoulder. Although Yang Yiming was on guard against the coherent movements, he couldn't stand Griffin's physical strength, even if he lowered his center of gravity and went up to meet the collision, he was still bounced away half a step. Griffin seized the gap, jumped directly into the basket, and dunked with one arm!
"To dunk on top of Yang Yiming's kid's head!"
The bold words he made in the airport bathroom at that time really made Griffin succeed!
The White Monster stood its arms on its chest, bared its teeth, and roared like a King Kong giant ape that had succeeded in revenge, and ran back to its own half of the court to defend. In the five-small lineup, he sat in the middle of the penalty area, waiting for the challenge of the Chinese team, especially Yang Yiming.
Just got a dunk, and if he defends this round again, then he Blake Griffin will undoubtedly win completely.
And Yang Yiming, who had just been dunked overhead, also knew that the offense and defense of this round were extremely important. If he can't fight back, he may really frustrate the momentum of the Chinese team's just rising momentum in this section, and he may really become the end of the strong crossbow that will decline and exhaust!
He needs to score this goal!
Although the situation was urgent, Yang Yiming maintained a valuable sobriety. His oriental wisdom prevailed. Instead of rushing straight to the basket, he ran to the bottom corner first. While running, Yang Yiming also gave Griffin a sly look, as if he was the one who had just finished the basket and was worthy of pride, not Griffin, who was angry under the basket. This mischievous provocation made Griffin a little dazed for a while.
At the moment when he hesitated to give up the penalty area guarded by the town and pulled to the bottom corner to defend Yang Yiming, Yi Jianlian, the center of the Chinese team on the court, had already hit the basket, and the point guard Zhao Rui chased the ball and passed!
Yi Jianlian wins the ball under the basket.
At this point, Griffin had to step forward to defend! He may still be looking at Yang Yiming in the bottom corner, but his heart wants to take care of Yi Jianlian, who is already ready to jump. There are two places in the heart, but I can't take care of anywhere. Yi Jianlian flew into the air with the speed of a teenager's madness, Griffin jumped a step late, and watched Yi Jianlian lift the basketball above his head with both hands, and then fill the basket to score!
11-7, the two teams are still the difference between the points before the pause.
"Got a dunk overhead, hehe."
The ball was exchanged, and when Yang Yiming returned to the field to defend, he deliberately ran to Griffin's side, and rubbed the latter's arm a little playfully.
"You didn't deduct it!"
Griffin was right, of course. It was his teammate Yi Jianlian who spoke for Yang Yiming, but his tone had obviously messed him up. Obviously, he was the one who dunked first, but he seemed to have completely lost his memory, immersed in the anger of being dunked, and forgot about it.
"Obviously it was meβI detained you first, didn't I?"
By the time Griffin came back to his senses and remembered it, it sounded like a child's argument for a quarrel.
"Yes." Yang Yiming further began to verbally tease, "But it seems that you are a little more miserable that time." β
"You wait!"
"I'll wait." Yang Yiming smiled slightly and stood in a defensive position first.
He knew that mockery was mockery, and Griffin's counterattack would not be gentle! Sure enough, this time he still took the ball with his back to him, but Yang Yiming, who had been prepared for a long time, lowered the plate, and was sure that Griffin would definitely attack, and used his two forearms to resist Griffin's back. After the latter tried several back-to-back strong pushes and was blocked, he could only turn his body around first and attack the frontal basket.
Compared to previous seasons when he relied on his body to eat, Griffin's face-frame offensive skills have actually improved a lot. It's just that he was disrupted by the mistake in the last round and Yang Yiming's provocation, and all those offensive skills that he had learned with great difficulty were left behind by him at this time. He didn't even think about it, after one dribble, he grabbed the basketball and charged to the basket!
He must have thought about it, and he wanted to repeat the scene of the dunk on Yang Yiming's head just now.
It's just that just now he stepped on the line of the reasonable collision zone, but this time it was from the far away free throw line, and he started to charge!
Hold the basketball with both hands, take three steps, and open the way with your elbows...
Yang Yiming fell.
Toot β
The referee's whistle blew too.
Team USA No. 14, Blake Griffin, offensive foul!
The referee made an offensive foul and pointed to his elbow, which means: this is it. You're using this part to gain an advantage, it's just not right!
Griffin, who was completely annoyed and angry, pointed to Yang Yiming, who was still lying on the floor, and turned back to complain to the referee: "I didn't even touch him, he fell, that's acting!" β
The referee shook his head and warned Griffin to shut up.
At this moment, Yang Yiming, who had succeeded in his goal, had already sat up from the floor all of a sudden-he had already prepared for Griffin's elbow, and he really didn't hit him much--even if he acted, it was a strategic advantage within the rules! I saw that the Chinese team ball had been sent, Yang Yiming dribbled the ball and killed half of the court by himself, and it was obviously too late for Griffin to find out the speed. Griffin chased frantically to make up for the defense, still half a position short, Yang Yiming dunked in the air, and Griffin also jumped out with his life, but the hand that fished back was a few centimeters short...
The ball is buckled.
Griffin is the background for a dunk again!
