Chapter 266: I'll Control These Five Minutes
"Will you regret it?" This sentence is like a sledgehammer, hitting all hearts fiercely.
The current Chinese team, Yao Ming is 33 years old, Wang Zhizhi is 36 years old, Liu Wei is 33 years old, these veterans, after the end of this year's Olympic Games, have basically decided to say goodbye to the Olympic Games in four years, that is to say, this year is their last Olympic Games, if they don't get a medal this time, then this life will say goodbye to Olympic medals.
And without Yao Ming's Chinese team, only under the leadership of Wang Meng and Yi Jianlian, will it still reach the stage of the semifinals?
No matter how you think about it, this Olympics is like the best opportunity for the Chinese team, and if you give up this opportunity, then whoever you are, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Yao Ming vaguely pushed Wang Meng.
Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Yao Ming meant, Yao Ming wanted to help himself to take the position at this time.
Yao Ming's idea is very simple, although after Wang Meng's medication, Yao Ming's height and weight cannot support him to stand on the field for a long time, regardless of other factors, the Chinese team must find a leader to lead the team down.
When Yao Ming first announced his retirement, he chose Yi Jianlian, but now, Yao Ming has found a more suitable candidate than Yi Jianlian, Wang Meng.
This guy was born out of thin air and became the top player in the league in a short period of time, and whether it is surname or strength, Wang Meng is much more suitable than Yi Jianlian, although this seems a little unfair to Yi Jianlian, but for the future of the Chinese team, Yao Ming still made such a choice.
"I won't say much else." Yao Ming's meaning was so obvious, Wang Meng naturally knew what to do, and he followed Yao Ming's words and said: "We want to win this game!" And! We're going to win the next game! But no matter how strong I am, I can't play against five players at the same time, and for the next five minutes, I'll attack in my own way, and I hope you can help me! β
Therefore, Wang Meng didn't say anything, he decided to use his actions to tell these players his determination, the timeout passed quickly, Deng Huade didn't have time to make some remarks, the timeout was over.
"Let's go! Let's win the first and possibly the last medal of our lives! Yao Ming let out a loud shout and stretched out his hand.
The Chinese players stretched out their hands one after another and put them on the back of Yao Ming's hand, "Come on!" β
Re-entering the arena, Yao Ming came over and whispered to Wang Meng: "I have to say, your speech is really not up to standard, and I don't feel it at all." β
Wang Meng glanced at Yao Ming, and said angrily: "You have said everything that should be said, what else can I say?" β
Wang Meng is not Yao Ming, his language skills are not as strong as Yao Ming, he will not use language to mobilize players, after all, he is only a player who has played two seasons in the NBA, and it also includes a shrinking season after the shutdown, he really doesn't have much experience, although he can attack by himself, and he can also lead the team to victory with the help of the system, but let him use words to mobilize the players, Wang Meng can't do it, just like Kobe Bryant won't communicate with his teammates in the early days, Wang Meng won't, and he doesn't know how to say it, Because no one had taught him this.
"That's why I'm going to say what was given to me for the next five minutes." Wang Meng smiled and said to Yao Ming.
"Huh?" Yao Ming didn't know why, he didn't understand the specific meaning of Wang Meng's words.
Wang Meng lowered his head, looked at the wooden floor of the court, and said lightly: "I will use five minutes to make all the players of the Chinese team ignite their fighting spirit, and at the same time, make the opponent afraid!" β
Looking at Wang Meng's expressionless face, Yao Ming finally felt that he knew Wang Meng a little, Wang Meng was different from any player in the NBA, the funny thing is that before this, he always compared Wang Meng with his strongest partner Maddie, now think about it carefully, how could Maddie have such a domineering performance as Wang Meng?
Perhaps, just like in the case of 35.13 seconds, Maddie is not a little contribution, but most of the time, Maddie is very indifferent on the field, and he is not very obsessed with winning the game. In order to brush himself up as a scoring champion during the Magic period, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the team's record, was intoxicated in nightclubs, and often missed team training, which is what Maddie has done, Maddie's talent may be the strongest in the world, but his mentality is not enough to become the king of the NBA, he is only a strong man after all, it can be expected that when Maddie retires, he will never enter the NBA Hall of Fame.
Yao Ming had just made such an exclamation, and immediately saw Wang Meng's performance.
Without any fancy moves, without any precursors, just using speed and explosiveness, Wang Meng instantly threw off CalderΓ³n, who was defending him, and rushed into the Spanish interior line at high speed.
"Wang Meng, this is too anxious!" Zhang Weiping said with some regret: "At this time, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian did not enter the Spanish inner line to stand in a good position, but the opponent's inner line stood with Ibaka and Marc Gasol, two defensive giants, Wang Meng broke through a little too fast!" β
Although Zhang Weiping said on TV that Wang Meng made a big mistake, in fact, Ibaka and Gasol Jr., who saw Wang Meng rushing in so quickly, were shocked, and they also had the same idea as Zhang Weiping, the opponent's inner line did not come and fall into place, Wang Meng would definitely stabilize the attack.
The two of them hurriedly came up to make up for Wang Meng.
A trace of madness flashed in Wang Meng's eyes, at this moment he had already entered a state of instant explosion, without any hesitation, Wang Meng rushed into the muscular wall formed by Ibaka and little Gasol like a moth to a fire.
In an instant, Wang Meng fell to the ground like a sandbag, and the basketball in his hand was also slapped away by Ibaka, but a smile appeared on Wang Meng's face.
"Squeak! Spanish No. 13 defensive foul! β
Looking at Gasol's annoyed look, the smile on Wang Meng's face became stronger and stronger.
Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu ran over and pulled Wang Meng up, Wang Meng stood on the free throw line, and hit two free throws steadily.
"That scene was so fast, I'm sure a lot of people didn't see what was going on, so let's take a look at the video replay." Yu Jia said, and at the same time, the previous slow-motion video was played back on the TV.
In the video, when Wang Meng was about to collide with Ibaka Gasol Jr., he suddenly stepped on his feet, made a jumping step, passed through the gap between the two people, and prepared to go to the basket with the ball in one hand.
Seeing Wang Meng passing between the two of them, Ibaka hurriedly turned around to block Wang Meng's layup, and Gasol Jr. saw that the opportunity was not good, so he directly hit his ass and flew Wang Mengding out.
Due to the impact of Gasol Jr., Wang Meng's layup action in the air was deformed, and the basketball was slapped by Ibaka, and it is indisputable that regardless of whether Ibaka is a beautiful block, anyway, before that, Gasol Jr.'s foul on Wang Meng was an ironclad fact that could not be changed.
Spain attacked, the Chinese team was somewhat affected by Yao Ming's speech, they were all in a state of excitement, the defense was extremely active, Spain rotated and passed the ball a few times, there was no particularly good opportunity to shoot, and finally Ibaka shot at the end of time in the middle distance, which was interfered by Yi Jianlian's full force, and the basketball was deflected, and it happened to be taken into Wang Meng's arms.
"Instant explosion!" There was almost no pause, and after Wang Meng grabbed the rebound, he immediately opened the instant explosion and rushed to the backcourt like a wild horse.
"Stop him!" The Spanish coach's eyes were about to pop out, and he stood on the field and shouted, but Wang Meng's speed in the case of an instant explosion when he turned on, how many people could keep up?
Before Wang Meng grabbed the rebound, there was already a Spanish player Fernandez who was ready to return to defense, and after seeing Wang Meng get the rebound and was about to break fast, he ran to the backcourt, trying to return to his half of the court before Wang Meng to defend.
But what made Fernandez stunned was that he was obviously closer to the backcourt than Wang Meng, but when he just retreated to the half-court line, when he turned around, he was stunned to find that Wang Meng was already behind him.
"No! It's too fast! Fernandez didn't dare to slow down to block Wang Meng, he knew that with Wang Meng's speed, if he went up to block alone, he would definitely be the first to pass, and then Wang Meng would face an empty basket. All Fernandez can do now is run back with all his might, try to run back before Wang Meng, and then guard the basket to prevent Wang Meng from making a layup easily.
After only running two steps, Fernandez regretted his previous judgment to the extreme, he suddenly found that Wang Meng's speed was terrifying, Fernandez just continued to run two steps, Wang Meng had already rushed past him, Fernandez subconsciously wanted to grab Wang Meng's jersey hem, so that he could not run with all his strength, but he couldn't catch up with Wang Meng anyway.
"Damn it! How can it be so fast! He's still dribbling the ball! Fernandez, who was left behind by Wang Meng, regretted it very much, and knew that he had blocked Wang Meng just now to prevent him from accelerating smoothly, although it was possible to be passed, but it was better than being caught up with speed and pulled away by such a ** naked.
Throwing off Fernandez, there was no defender in Spain's backcourt, Wang Meng took two big steps, jumped high, and dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands.
At the same time as Wang Meng's goal, Fernandes, who was closest to him, had just chased inside the three-point line and outside the free throw line, and the inside player such as Marc Gasol had not even had time to return to the halfcourt.
"It's too fast! Wang Meng is so fast! He should go to the track and field competition, not basketball, I don't use a stopwatch to calculate, just visually measuring the speed, Wang Meng is definitely not weaker than those foreign track and field champions. Zhang Weiping's sentence made many fans feel a little familiar, participating in track and field competitions, this sentence was in the NBA live broadcast not long ago, Barkley and Smith also sighed like this, Wang Meng's speed seems to have become a signboard, compared to the Brazilian lightning Barbose, the French sports car Parker is faster than the gold signboard.
It is unknown whether Wang Meng will participate in the track and field competition, the game is still going on, Spain's offense is very smooth, after using the block to block Zhu Fangyu, Fernandez shot quickly at the three-point line, and finally hit a three-point shot for Spain.
"Damn it!" Zhu Fangyu clenched his fists fiercely, and the four points that he finally recovered were gone, this mood was really uncomfortable, "It's okay." Wang Meng came up and patted Zhu Fangyu on the shoulder and said, "The score will catch up, because I will control these five minutes!" β
