Chapter 136 - Fighting Dream Eight Again
In the rest time of the next day or so, as long as Li Yao's mental state allows, he will brainlessly drill into the training mode to practice, which also makes Da Yao in the same dormitory a little dumbfounded, what is this? A special way to decompress?
Of course, this kind of practice still has a role, originally under the defense of virtual Wade, Li Yao's shooting rate of only about 30% has actually increased by 2%.
Don't underestimate the 2%, you must know that the three-point shooting rate is very difficult to improve under the premise of having defensive players, the reason why Li Yao can be improved in such a short period of time actually comes down to the strength of Ku Ritian's skills themselves, because although Li Yao has obtained Ku Ritian's three-point stunt, but it cannot be regarded as completely digested, so there is potential room for improvement.
But this 2% increase is enough in Li Yao's opinion, after all, time is limited, but it is enough to surprise Mengba.
It was 12 noon on August 24 again.
The bronze medal battle for the men's basketball team at the Beijing Olympics has begun, and the Greek men's basketball team has once again faced the Spanish men's basketball team.
With the premise of the Chinese men's basketball team's two defeats over the Greek men's basketball team, the Spanish men's basketball team also made personnel adjustments in a timely manner, using the golden boy Rubio as the starter to limit Spanoulis with the advantage of speed. Coupled with the power of the Gasol brothers' inside twin towers of the Spanish men's basketball team, the Spanish men's basketball team has been suppressing the Greek men's basketball team in all directions from the beginning.
The young player Rubio is not left behind in the face of the king of Europe, Spanoulis, whether it is the chic style of the offensive end or the conscientious of the defensive end, it has made many scouts on the scene full of praise, and also made many Chinese fans fall in love with this Spanish golden boy. Rubio is also since the 06 European Championships U16 League shine, once again in the Beijing Olympics to show his head, for a time the name of the golden boy spread to the world.
"It seems that this Rubio will land in the NBA soon, but I don't know if he can change the tragic fate of the predecessors of those kings of Europe." Da Yao, as a person who has come over, is of course familiar with the behavior of NBA scouts.
Li Yao didn't know how to answer Da Yao, as the No. 5 rookie in the first round next year, Rubio was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves, you can see how high the Spanish golden boy was at that time, you must know that behind him is Stephen Curry, who has led the Warriors to win the championship twice and won the regular season MVP twice; DeMar DeRozan, also known as the "King of the North", although Rubio's performance was more suitable for the NBA than his previous European predecessors, but he was far from achieving the expected goal of the Timberwolves, and was finally sent to the Utah Jazz by the Timberwolves before Li Ya crossed, in exchange for a first-round pick in 2018, and also ended his six-year Timberwolves career.
However, Rubio was also able to average 10+ points, 4.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2 steals and nearly 3 turnovers per game in his 6-year career with the Timberwolves. For this reason, the Timberwolves signed a four-year contract with Rubio totaling $55.03 million after Rubio's rookie period, but what Rubio didn't think of was that he was sent to the Utah Jazz by the Timberwolves as soon as the season ended in the second year of signing this contract.
Of course, these are all things before Li Yao's rebirth, and as for whether Rubio can become a superstar or even a supergiant later, these are not things that Li Yao can know.
However, Rubio played a wonderful game in this game, and even Li Yao couldn't help but applaud his chic style of play.
In the end, the Spanish men's basketball team ended the bronze medal battle with a 15-point lead of 89-74. Gasol also won the best player of the game by virtue of the advantage of playing inside, which also made many fans feel sorry for the golden boy Rubio, after all, Rubio's performance today is very eye-catching.
Seeing the end of the game, Li Yao couldn't help but shake his neck, and the real showdown was about to begin.
When the clock turned to 14.30 minutes, the final of the men's basketball of the Beijing Olympics was officially announced.
The Chinese men's basketball team, which has reached the finals for the first time, will once again face the only Dream Eight team that has lost in the group stage, and of course, this time Li Yao is far more confident than last time.
Jumping ball in the middle circle, Li Yao didn't have hope this time, after all, although Da Yao has an innate advantage in height, there is still a gap compared to the perverted bounce of Warcraft Howard, Da Yao is also very aware of this, the jump ball didn't even jump, just symbolically stretched out his hand, and immediately turned around and landed to defend.
This also made Howard, the monster who was struggling to jump, stupid, what does this mean?
Not only Howard was dumbfounded, but even the audience and the commentators of CCYV were dumbfounded.
But Kidd, who was the starting point guard of Dream Eight, was not in a daze, although he had never seen such a thing on the court, but he still turned out the basketball that Howard dialed in the first time and began to organize Dream Eight's offense.
With the experience of playing each other in the group stage, coupled with the fact that the coaching teams of both sides have been watching all the games on both sides, both sides have a certain understanding of each other, and Kidd also knows that the individual defensive ability of Li Yao, a rookie, is still very good among point guards in this Olympic Games. Paul is estimated to be only a little worse, and Li Yao's advantage in speed can also make up for his control of the offensive rhythm, so Kidd, as a qualified old demon, is not in a hurry to attack, and commands his teammates to run in an orderly manner.
However, in terms of mobility alone, the Chinese men's basketball team seems to have lost to the Mengba team in every position except for Li Yao, but Li Yao has discussed with the players and Coach Guo Shiqiang before the game, and their defense in this game will be converted between man-to-man and 1-2-2 joint defense, and the defensive formation is not fixed, because Li Yao knows that there is a peak Wade on the bench of Mengba, this guy is the first person to break through the joint defense in the Beijing Olympics, although he pirated Wade's actions in advance, but it also uses Wade's exclusive skill, Lightning Step. Therefore, Li Yao is not confident to the point of arrogance, and wants to use joint defense to limit the Dream Eight team, and the Spanish joint defense in the semifinals has sounded the alarm for them.
More importantly, when the Chinese men's basketball team discussed tactics, it has decided to give up the full defense in the group stage.
When Kobe Bryant received a pass from Kidd, he successfully sent the basketball backward jumper into the basket with his trademark back-to-back single, and also scored the first point in the Beijing Olympics final for the Dream Eight team.
Li Yao looked at the skillful and beautiful movements, and couldn't help drooling, Nima, Kobe's back-to-back singles and back-to-back jumpers This combination can be said to be the most beautiful action in the NBA league now, of course, in terms of back-to-back jumpers alone, Qiao's helpmaster is called beautiful, but no one in the active players should be able to compare with Kobe, Li Yao thought about the 5000 ball coins in his pocket, and swallowed this saliva.
When it was the turn of the Chinese men's basketball team to attack, when there was still a big step from the three-point line, Li Yao beckoned Da Yao to step forward to block and dismantle.
The Dream Eight team is also familiar with the current fixed tactics of the Chinese men's basketball team, with Da Yao as the core offensive initiation point of the central axis, although the Chinese men's basketball team also used this tactic in the group stage, but it is far from being as effective as when facing other teams, although the Warcraft was pulled out of the inner line, but the mobility of the Warcraft can also limit this tactic, after all, Howard is not a heavy center.
However, just as Da Yao just walked to the top of the arc of the three-point line, before he could settle down in the card position, Li Yao just shot a cross over and then a dry pull-out jumper, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell steadily into the basket, making Kidd, who still wanted to bypass Da Yao, stunned on the spot, when will Li Yao shoot three points?
You must know that these people have a lot of understanding of Li Yao, after all, Li Yao is also a popular figure in the United States this year, NCAA is a blockbuster, leading Stanford University all the way forward, cutting down all kinds of heroes and horses, and in one fell swoop, the original champion of the big hit Michael. Beasley squeezed into the flower show. However, whether it is from the beginning of the NCAA or the group stage of the Olympic Games, Li Yao has not been seen to shoot a three-pointer, and Kidd doubts how Li Yao feels so bold and does this in the Olympic finals.
Even the Mengba bench and the Chinese men's basketball bench off the court were a little dumbfounded, so this is a shot? is still in the special, Li Yao is too bold.
"Li Yao, beckoned Da Yao to step forward to block and dismantle, thinking that the Chinese men's basketball team is going to implement their disguised Princeton style of play again, you must know that when facing the Dream Eight team for the first time in the group stage, Da Yao assisted Captain Li Yao with a shocking dunk. Wait a minute, Li Yao actually pulled out his hand directly after a cross over, this ball is unreasonable, Da Yao has just fallen into position, Li Yao is even a big step away from the three-point line, uh, the ball is in, it's okay, the Chinese men's basketball team opened the situation with a three-point shot from Captain Li Yao. "As soon as Mr. Zhang's unreasonableness came out, I saw Li Yao's three-point shot scored, and the slap in the face really came too fast, like a tornado.
"This kid is too nonsense, you must know that this is the final." Wade frowned a little puzzled, in his impression, Li Yao was not such an impulsive guy, he never imagined that Li Yao, who had always been old, would actually make such a hasty move, although the ball was scored, but it was still a little unacceptable.
The whole game, including the audience, thought that Li Yao's ball was unreasonable, but there was one person on the court who frowned, this person was Kobe Bryant, he just saw Li Yao's smooth shooting movements and the confidence in Li Yao's eyes when Li Yao shot, he didn't believe that a person could guarantee this in a hurry, so there was only one answer, Li Yao has been hiding his three-point shooting strength. In this case, Li Yao is too big, right, he has been hidden from the NCAA to the present? Kobe Bryant couldn't imagine it.
Although he was reluctant to believe that Li Yao would do this, Kobe Bryant was cautious in his heart.
