Chapter 222: Fierce Dream Eight

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics shocked the whole world.

China has been aiming to make the Beijing Olympics the most successful Olympic Games in history, and China has invested heavily in the opening ceremony, but the investment is proportional to the return. The splendid opening ceremony dazzled people all over the world.

In the midst of the brilliant fireworks; After a great show; The delegations of various countries finally appeared.

The first time the fans cheered at the high tide was when the American team entered. The appearance of American Dream VIII caused a collective cheer from everyone at the scene.

When Argentina entered the stadium before, Messi also caused a burst of cheers, but compared with the appearance of the American Dream Eight this time, it is still not comparable.

"Kobeβ€”"

"LeBronβ€”"

"Paulβ€”"

The people at the scene were calling the names of these people in the American Dream Eight, but the number of people calling Kobe Bryant was the most, which shows how huge Peter Pan's influence in China is.

Yumehachi, who stood out from the crowd, smiled and waved his hand, passing by people's eyes. Then when Yao Ming appeared in people's field of vision carrying the five-star red flag, the scene erupted in the fiercest cheers tonight.

There were all kinds of shouts, but a cheer overpowered everyone's shouts.

"Li Cheng-Li Cheng-Li Cheng-"

The voice of shouting Li Cheng became louder and louder, gradually overshadowing a qiΔ“.

Li Cheng's influence in the hearts of Chinese fans is really huge. His previous performances in the warm-up matches and the Si Cup have attracted more fans for him in this part of China.

The Chinese delegation, as the host, was the last to appear. Naturally, the host was the group that received the most cheers. But Li Cheng is the most eye-catching one of them all.

Handsome appearance. The height that stands out from the crowd and the super high popularity. These are the keys to his attention.

The flash shook Li Cheng's eyes, but the people at the scene still did not let Li Cheng disappear from their lenses, until Li Cheng's figure disappeared completely, and the flash on the scene slowly disappeared like daylight.

Basketball's popularity in China is definitely no less than football. With the weakness of the national football team over the years, basketball has received more and more attention.

And because of the broadcast time, the NBA's broadcast is very popular. Nowadays, many fans have to watch an NBA game on the weekend, which has become a habit.

Getting used to this kind of stuff is quite terrible. Because even though these NBA teams are thousands of miles away from the Celestial Empire, fans who watch NBA games every week will still feel a sense of belonging to these teams.

Therefore, in the land of China, the promotion of basketball is very successful.

From Kobe's influence in China, you can see how strong basketball has grown in China.

And the Sino-US war on August 10 has also attracted huge attention in this country. Before the official start of this game, the ratings have already surpassed the broadcast of the NBA Finals. It shows how popular basketball is in this country.

Facing the U.S. team. Everyone knows what will happen to the Chinese team. Because the American Dream Team, which has lost two consecutive World Championships, has vowed to defend its dignity in this Olympics.

This time, the lineup sent by the American team was unusually luxurious.

Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard, Paul, Kidd, Boozer, Bosh, DeLong, Reed, Wade, Prince. These people are all the best stars in the NBA, and this is definitely a pure All-Star team.

Li Cheng is not very familiar with these people on the American team, and of course the grievances between him and James are worth mentioning. In addition, Kobe Bryant is a little familiar with Li Cheng, and other people don't have much intersection with Li Cheng.

In the face of such a luxurious American team, the defeat of the Chinese team seemed to be doomed. But in history. China has lost to the United States by 63 points, and it is not known whether China will usher in the smallest point difference in history this time.

"What kind of performance will the Chinese team have? I'm really looking forward to it! ”

"Yes! During the warm-up game. The Chinese team did not show all their strength, and they will definitely show all their strength in this game. Let's see how strong this strongest Chinese team really is. ”

The fandom was already in the thick of the discussion before the game.

This game is also the first time that the chat room opened by the "Xiao Li Flying Knife" website has been opened, and many fans have entered this chat room to participate in the discussion. The atmosphere of discussion was very lively.

In the locker room of the Chinese team before the game, everyone was very relaxed, after all, this was just a group stage, and the loss did not have a great impact on the Chinese team's qualification, so everyone was not prepared to work hard.

"Xiao Cheng, don't be too fierce with your firepower outside the three-point line today, you are our secret weapon!" Li Nan patted Li Cheng's shoulder and said.

"You just run without the ball today, just play a dozen, don't take it too seriously, just play it as a normal exhibition game." Yao Ming also said.

Li Cheng turned the wristband of his left hand and said, "If I can really win, then I will definitely fight hard." ”

"Young people's imagination is rich." Li Nan smiled.

Li Cheng said unusually strictly: "The American team is also human, why can't we win?" James was swept by me in the playoffs, so why can't they be beaten by us? Didn't Dream 6 and Dream 7 both lose? The U.S. team has long been no longer the hegemon of world basketball. ”

"Before the Pacers vs. Celtics series, who would have thought we'd be playing a tie-break? Who would have thought that we would win them in the Battle of Tennoyama? In the end, they came close to capsizing, and the Pacers had a chance to beat the Celtics. Like, the Chinese team definitely has hope of beating the American team. ”

Li Nan was a little embarrassed when Li Cheng said this. But what Li Cheng said is true, why did they think they would lose before the game even started?

Li Cheng also realized that this team still lacked a belief in winning. So, he decided to give at least a little confidence to his teammates today. How far can this team go on the road to the Olympics? A team that does not have the belief to win, a team that cannot maintain the belief of reversal in the face of any adversity, will never go far.

Li Cheng's words. It makes the atmosphere in the locker room a little dignified. Everyone was thinking, but no one blamed Li Cheng.

And on the other side of the American locker room. The big guys of the American team are really relaxed.

"The guy on the Chinese team named Li Cheng is quite interesting." Bryant said.

James snorted and said, "I'm going to win him today." ”

Everyone didn't speak, but Anthony said, "Let's make a bet!" ”

"Bet on what?" Hearing about gambling, these bigwigs are interested.

Anthony said: "Just bet on who can get this kid today, how about it?" His rookie season has blown us all away! ”

"One hat, $100." James said.

"Then he can send it once! Who is participating? Anthony shouted.

$100 is not a lot of money, and everyone wants to have fun. Naturally, there will be no one who will not participate in this group activity. All members of the U.S. team participated in this gamble. In this way, Li Cheng can earn 1,100 US dollars, which is a "huge amount of money"!

"Sun Yue is coming to the Lakers next season. How about we start another game with this guy? Bryant added.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed, "How are you going to bet this time?" ”

"How about betting on who will be capped by him? $100 per visit. Kobe Bryant's eyes sparkled with a sly sly.

"Damn, this is a heavy hemorrhage when Sun Yue covers it once!" Howard shouted at the top of his lungs. In fact, at this time, he is very aware in his heart, as a super center, Howard is confident that he will not be caught by Sun Yue, so he shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

"Is this 100 for 100 for everyone, or is it a total of 100!" Kidd is more steady. He asked.

"Are you short of money!?" Bryant Road.

"It's a big deal that he defends me, I just don't shoot, what am I afraid of?" Kidd shrugged and said.

Everyone laughed. In fact, no one took this money to heart.

……

Soon, the players were walking onto the field. When the U.S. team played, it naturally caused a burst of cheers from the audience. And there was a female fan sitting next to the players' tunnel. Because he high-fived Kobe, he fainted excitedly. However, everyone only found out after the game was reported by reporters. Now the players are naturally focused on the game.

When the Chinese team played, the entire Wukesong Stadium shook.

Yao Ming and Li Cheng's influence in China is very huge. It was they who caused the cheers to be unusually violent. Today, Li Cheng appeared in his "Li Cheng Generation", and the two dragons on his two shoes looked unusually dazzling. And Li Cheng's white jersey, with this conspicuous color, also sets off his handsome appearance to the fullest.

……

Today's starting of the U.S. team is playmaking guard Kidd, scoring guard Kobe, small forward James, power forward Anthony, and center Howard.

From the No. 1 to No. 5 positions, Team USA is a superstar.

The lineup of the Chinese team is much darker than that of the opponent.

Point guard Liu Wei, scoring guard Li Cheng, small forward Zhu Fangyu, power forward Yi Jianlian, and center Yao Ming.

However, the Chinese team also has two All-Star-caliber players in this lineup, as well as a player who can be at the top of the bench in the NBA. Such a lineup may be bleak compared to the American team, but it is much better than many other teams.

However, competitive sports can never see the results from the appearance list on paper, and even if you can see the results, you can't predict the process, which is the charm of competitive sports.

Everyone knows that the Chinese team must have a secret weapon, but they don't know if the Chinese team will take out all their weapons in this "must-lose" game.

However, everyone is still looking forward to this game.

Players from both sides are standing in the center circle, and the referee is also in a position and ready to jump the ball.

At this time, the DJ at the scene suddenly shouted. "Team China!"

Then the fans continued: "Come on! ”

Bursts of neat shouts. And as far as the eye can see, the red sea of five-star red flags is also exciting.

The referee blew the whistle and the referee threw the ball into the air. Yao Ming pressed Howard and tossed the ball to Liu Wei. Liu Wei controlled the ball. The Chinese team got the first chance to attack.

"The first time you attack, you have to play with momentum." Li Cheng said secretly in his heart. At the same time, he remembered the battle between the Pacers and the Celtics to tie seven, even if he had to lose, he had to play with momentum. After all. Momentum is sometimes the most important thing.

Liu Wei controlled the ball and walked through the half court, and Li Cheng reached out to Liu Wei to ask for the ball.

As soon as Li Cheng got the ball, Kobe Bryant pressed up, and this was the first time Li Cheng had played against Kobe. Li Cheng was still a little excited about his idol for the first time, but his first time he was against his idol, he was bound to play a wonderful attack.

Li Cheng controlled the ball and then began to dribble. The dazzling dribble will definitely be the prelude to Li Cheng's breakthrough.

Everyone knows what the prelude to Li Cheng's breakthrough is. Kobe Bryant is naturally clear. So he opened up his stance and prepared to defend Li Cheng.

Many people say that Kobe's defense is overrated, but Li Cheng is now eager to slap those people in the face. Kobe Bryant is definitely one of the toughest people he's ever faced.

No matter how Li Cheng fakes, Kobe Bryant just doesn't move. And as long as he moves, Kobe Bryant will definitely move, and the prediction of the position is also quite accurate.

Li Chengyi gritted his teeth, made a feint, and rushed in with his shoulder against Kobe. Then he bumped into Kobe. After a cross-step, he stepped back and seemed to be about to shoot. This time Bryant was finally deceived.

At the moment when Kezhong's center shifted, Li Cheng suddenly changed his posture of retreating and rushed forward. Kobe Bryant was passed by him.

James wanted to come over to help defend, and Li Cheng turned around and passed James with a light turn.

"His speed ...... It's fast again. James' eyes were filled with shock.

Li Cheng was definitely one of his most familiar opponents, but this time he clearly felt that Li Cheng's speed was a lot faster.

Then Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian completely stuck their positions on the inside. Li Cheng went to the basket and made a wonderful one-handed split. Instantly detonate the whole audience.

The cheers of the fans at the scene soared into the sky, and then in the five-star red flag fluttering at the scene. The song of "singing the motherland" sounded.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud; Singing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength......"

The exhilarating singing sound sounded in the Wukesong Gymnasium, and all the Chinese present were infected by this singing. The Chinese players who are playing are even more infected. At this time, they also raised a sense of mission, that is, this game must not disappoint the fans at the scene.

"Beautiful dunk, beautiful dunk-" Yu Jia, the commentator of Celestial Dynasty 5, shouted frantically.

"Li Cheng used such a beautiful way to get the first two points of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games. He also fired his first shot in the NBA with such a domineering breakthrough and dunk. ”

……

After Li Cheng scored this goal, he walked up to Kobe Bryant and said, "You can't stop me alone." ”

Kobe Bryant snorted and said, "The game has just begun. ”

Next, Kobe Bryant and Li Cheng were completely entangled together, and Li Cheng in the Chinese team had no way not to defend seriously, after all, he did not have Granger to assist here.

Li Cheng had just broken through Kobe, and this time Kobe Bryant immediately found his way back on the field.

In the one-on-one defense, Li Cheng absolutely couldn't prevent Kobe, although his defensive attitude was very good, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being singled by Kobe.

Kobe Bryant returned the Chinese team's throw.

Then the ball returned to the hands of the Chinese team, this time Li Cheng did not play again, and Liu Wei hoisted the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is now the strongest center in the NBA, and in this era when the center is gradually declining, Yao Ming can be regarded as the top center in the world. Howard's upper body strength is super strong, but his lower strength is not as strong as Yao Ming's, he was sat down by Yao Ming's ass, and then Yao Ming pushed it twice, turned around and sent the ball into the basket with a hook hand.

This is a game that Chinese people all over the world are paying attention to, and hundreds of millions of Chinese are paying attention to this game.

Yao Ming and Li Cheng, two Chinese players, scored a goal each, and Chinese people around the world were very excited. And what makes everyone even more excited is that now the Chinese team is leading the American team 4-2.

No matter what kind of lead, at least this time the Chinese team is ahead. Some of the more optimistic fans were very happy to see this score.

Howard then tried to keep hitting the response shot, but his layup bobbed around the basket twice before jumping out.

Yi Jianlian picked up the rebound, and the Chinese team counterattacked.

Li Cheng dribbled quickly across the half. Then he came to a halt from beyond the three-point line. Because of inertia, Bryant ran out two more steps. After all, no one would have thought that Li Cheng would stop outside the three-point line. And it is well known that Li Cheng's three-point shooting ability is more fragile than a blank sheet of paper.

But Li Cheng raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

The spinning basketball flew towards the basket, and a crisp sound was heard. Li Cheng's three-pointer helped China extend its lead.

7 to 2! How could the Chinese team have been so proud when they played the American team?

Although this was a very brief lead, the five-point lead was enough to go down in the history of the basketball confrontation between China and the United States.

"Beautiful!" Yao Ming waved his fist and said victoriously.

Li Nan was on the sidelines, waving his towel violently and shouting: "Just fight like this, kill them!" ”

At this time, Li Nan, where is there a middle-aged person's calmness, completely like a child.

In a basketball game. The advantage of the opening game is very important, so the Chinese team was able to achieve a 5-point advantage in two minutes, which is a very wonderful start.

However, the Chinese team is facing a behemoth like the American team this year, and the Chinese team will never be able to control the game and maintain the advantage until the end.

The luxurious American team began to fight back, LeBron James faced Zhu Fangyu, and he crashed into Zhu Fangyu hard, and he went straight to the inside. After the jump, he straightened his arm and smashed the ball into the basket hard.

Seeing the way the basket swayed, everyone present could only sigh, facing such an opponent. The Chinese team is really a bit difficult.

James was like a bulldozer, domineering into the inside of the Chinese team and completing a dunk. His dunk was a morale boost for the U.S. team.

The athleticism of the U.S. team is not comparable to that of the Chinese team. Their impact on the basket is unmatched by any team in the world.

Then, Zhu Fangyu's mid-shot missed. The U.S. team grabbed the rebound and immediately went on a fast break.

Seeing the American team rushing to his basket like a tide, Li Cheng sighed helplessly. And then I didn't even have the desire to chase.

The three people on the U.S. team's fast break are Kobe, James, and Anthony. Each of these three people dunked unusually beautifully, so that although the fans at the scene were a little unhappy, they still wanted to enjoy the Dream Team's violent dunk.

Bryant passed the ball to James, who jumped one step past the free-throw line, fully stretched out in the air like a gymnast, a windmill dunk, and the dunk squeaked.

"Roar!" After James landed, he yelled at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng pursed his lips, but ignored James's provocation.

"You're bringing a bunch of god-like teammates and you're here to provoke something with me." Li Cheng didn't even think about paying attention to James.

After several rounds of confrontation, the difference in strength between China and the United States was finally completely exposed.

Although Li Cheng scored another goal in front of Kobe Bryant with a very beautiful step-back jumper. However, the American team's tidal attack still took the lead and opened up the difference.

Five minutes into the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind by 5 points 9-14.

Younas sighed helplessly on the sidelines, there is still a gap between the Chinese team and the American team! And in the face of the pressure of the American team, the lack of tacit cooperation between Li Cheng and Yao Ming was finally exposed.

Some problems can only be exposed under pressure.

Younas reluctantly asked for a timeout, he didn't have a particularly good solution, but he couldn't let the momentum of the American team's attack continue, if that happened, the Chinese team would be very difficult.

"The Chinese team is behind, but we are very much looking forward to the fact that after this timeout, the Chinese team can continue to bite the score, and it is best to overtake the score."

"The difference in the strength of the two teams is too big, none of these players of the American team are worse than Li Cheng and Yao Ming, and we have three fewer players of the same level than our opponents, which is not counting the depth of the bench."

"Look! I hope that Li Cheng, who beat the Cavaliers in the playoffs, can appear and lead the Chinese team to complete a leap. ”

"I really hope that in this game, Li Cheng can take the Chinese team to 'take off!' ”

After the timeout, the game resumed.

This time, the Chinese team is everyone. Including Yao Ming, they all pulled away.

"The Chinese team wants Li Cheng to play singles, and Younas wants to give full play to Li Cheng's personal ability."

"I have to say. It was also a psychological encounter. As luxurious as the American team, they are absolutely embarrassed to wrap up Li Cheng. ”

"If you don't wrap it. Neither Kobe nor James has the ability to completely seal Li Cheng in one-on-one. ”

"Let's see what Li Cheng will do with this ball!"

Li Cheng once again faced Kobe Bryant, and this was their second meeting in this game.

"Put away your flashy and impractical dribble! It didn't do much for me. Kobe Bryant said coldly.

"Not necessarily, weren't you deceived by me before?" Li Cheng said with a smile.

In the competition, Li Chengke did not have the kind of respect for idols.

With a flick of his wrist, he changed direction in front of his body, and then Li Cheng rushed into the three-point line with steps.

This time, Li Cheng still used a cross-step and then retreated. Kobe Bryant thought that Li Cheng was another feint, and he ignored it. Who knew that Li Cheng was not a feint this time. Rather, it really retreated beyond the three-point line.

Kobe Bryant wanted to step forward to block again, but it was too late. Li Cheng leaned back slightly, and the shot had already been shot.

Li Cheng's three-point shooting is no longer as bad as it used to be, and now he can definitely say with great confidence that he has fully inherited Miller's mantle, and he will be the best three-point man in the NBA in the future.

The crisp sound came again, and the fans at the scene once again burst into violent cheers.

After the Chinese team was suppressed, it was Li Cheng who stepped up again, and his save zΓ i helped the Chinese team bite the score tightly.

Kobe Bryant's attack on Li Cheng. It's really a little helpless. He really couldn't imagine that such a kid was just his rookie season last season. And this guy's rookie career doesn't seem to be over yet, and he hasn't played more than 82 fights.

"Now he's so omnipotent, and he'll have it later?" Bryant sighed in his heart.

And this goal from Li Cheng. But it boosted the morale of the players on the field even more.

At this time, all the Chinese players realized.

"The U.S. team is really not invincible, you see Li Cheng. Isn't it very easy for him to score? ”

"Li Chengneng can be so easy in front of Kobe, why can't we?"

"Even if we can't do more on the offensive end. Can't we defend against them? ”

"As long as we don't give up, we will always have hope."

The morale of the Chinese team is gradually being stimulated. This time, all the players really felt that winning really didn't seem impossible!

Li Cheng's continuous efforts have completely adjusted the mentality of the Chinese players. Then the others also began to exert their strength, and after Zhu Fangyu picked up James, he dribbled a step to the left, and then easily hit a mid-range shot.

After Yao Ming scored two points at the beginning of the game, he finally blossomed again. He added two more points to the Chinese team with a trademark turnaround jumper.

Under such high pressure from the American team, in such a star-studded lineup of the American team, the Chinese team actually played a wave of offensive small highs.

In the 9th point of the first quarter, the Chinese team trailed by two points 19-21.

"In this game, the Chinese team played so anxiously with the American team."

"Unconsciously, the strength of the Chinese team has improved so much!"

"It's thanks to Li Cheng, if it weren't for him, we might have collapsed a little now."

In the first quarter of the game, the personnel of both teams rotated, and only Li Cheng played from the first minute after the opening to the present.

This time it was the U.S. team's offense, and Wade's breakthrough was very successful, but his layup was bizarrely deflected off the basket. Wang Zhizhi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhang Qingpeng, who controlled the ball to complete the last attack of the game.

After the ball passed half-time, Li Cheng asked the player over. Now the U.S. team is on the court with Paul, this guy is a steal master, this last offensive chance, if the ball is stealed, it can't be rowed.

Seeing that there were still 12 seconds left in the attack time, Li Cheng finally moved.

Yi Jianlian ran out to block and dismantle Li Cheng, Li Cheng turned around and spared out, Wade was blocked by Yi Jianlian, but the person Li Cheng faced became Bosh.

Bosh is not good-looking, but his energy on the field is really not small, and Li Cheng can't take it lightly.

After Li Cheng shook back and forth. A decisive step back is all about the rhythm of the shot.

Bosh thought that Li Cheng was going to forcibly lean back and shoot. You must know that Li Cheng's step-back jumper has a huge reputation in the NBA, and Bosh really doesn't dare to take it lightly. But this time Li Cheng didn't shoot. He withdrew his hands above his head and passed the ball from under Bosh's armpits.

The basketball bounced off the floor, and then flew straight into Yi Jianlian's hand under the basket.

After the blocking, Yi Jianlian returned to the inside, but the U.S. team's defense was all around the perimeter, because it helped the U.S. team to counterattack quickly.

At this time, the Chinese team formed a 2-on-1 on the inside. Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian are both on the inside, while Howard is the only defender.

Howard chose to pounce on Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian did not hesitate to pass the ball to Wang Zhizhi again.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi did not have any interference at all. Roughly with the force of the force to split the momentum of Huashan. Poured the basketball into the hoop.

The U.S. team has 1.2 seconds left to attack. At this time, the score of the two teams on the field was 21-21, and the two teams were tied.

Wukesong Gymnasium was like a pot of boiling oil, and a basin of cold water was poured into it in an instant. The calm oil pot boiled instantly, and the crazy cheers swept over the world. This burst of cheers soon turned into a neat singing, and the song of "singing the motherland" sounded again.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi hugged Yi Jianlian excitedly, "Ah Lian, it's beautiful!" ”

Then Yi Jianlian did not forget Li Cheng, he ran to Li Cheng's side. rubbed Li Cheng's head fiercely and said, "Your ball is really amazing." ”

Li Cheng smiled, but did not speak.

At this time, the final ball of the American team also passed. The Chinese team interfered slightly. Anthony's ultra-long-range shot smashed on the rebound and bounced out, and the first quarter of the Sino-American game ended, with China and the United States tied at 21.

"The Chinese team is really careful! The ball was passed really well. ”

"This ball. Yi Jianlian played very reasonably, he could have come by himself. But when he saw that Howard had already pounced, he simply passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi completed the dunk this time. ”

"Now there is a draw between the Chinese team and the American team, which has never been seen in the history of the two teams."

"That's right, from the opening stage of the Chinese team to lead by 5 points, to be overtaken by 5 points, and then to the current draw. This time, the Chinese team is well-deserved to be the 'strongest in history' from any point of view. This is a team that has never been seen before and will not be surpassed for a long time. ”

The match was unexpectedly anxious, and the match whetted the appetite of all the spectators.

The second quarter of the game did not make everyone wait long. The lineup of the U.S. team has changed almost dramatically.

Point Guard: Delon, Shooting Guard: Reed, Small Forward: Prince, Power Forward: Boozer, Center: Bosh.

A group of people has changed, but the lineup continues to be luxurious.

The Dream Team's lineup is really like a dream, and Lao K doesn't need to worry about the lack of available players at all, what he needs to worry about is how to balance the playing time of these players.

A game lasts 40 minutes in total, and almost all 12 players have to play, which is not easy!

With a lineup like the U.S. team, the defense did a better job than in the first quarter, and the spears of the Chinese team's offense were limited. Younas took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Li Cheng and Yao Ming at the same time, and then asked the players on the field to defend it.

These players of the U.S. team have weaker offensive ability than the previous batch, so Younas chose to let Li Cheng and Yao Ming get enough rest time at this time.

After 3 minutes, the U.S. team made another substitution, Kobe, James, and Paul came on the court to replace Delon, Prince and Reed, and Lao K's substitution strengthened the U.S. team's offensive ability a lot.

At this time, the U.S. team took another 4-point lead.

The U.S. team made substitutions, and Younas naturally followed suit. Li Cheng and Yao Ming played one after another, and he absolutely couldn't let Kobe's group of people crush the Chinese team.

"Li Cheng, don't think about defense when you're on the field, just attack me. In front of a squad like the United States, defense doesn't play much of a role, and only offense can have a glimmer of hope. Before Li Cheng came on the field, Younas whispered in his ear.

Li Cheng nodded, at this time he had already cut 10 points and 2 assists, and almost half of the Chinese team's points were related to him. There were also some goals, the balls he passed. But he didn't get an assist. For example, at the last moment of the first quarter, Wang Zhizhi's powerful dunk.

This time the ball was in the hands of the American team. Bryant's step-back jumper helped the U.S. extend the margin to six points.

Once again, the pressure came to the Chinese team, and the basketball passed several times. Li Cheng's shot is missed.

Bosh defended the backcourt rebound, and the U.S. team's quick counter-attack reappeared.

Paul dribbled directly to complete a layup, and the difference came to 8 points, which was the largest point difference since the beginning of the game.

However, the wave of offensive highs and tides of the American team does not seem to be over, and the Chinese team's offense once again ended without a problem. The hearts of the Chinese people around the world are raised at this moment, is it possible that the score difference that has been burning for more than a quarter will come to double digits this time?

The U.S. team controlled the players, and James was on the ball from beyond the three-point line. Their quick counter-attacks were unsuccessful, and James controlled the rhythm of the U.S. team's attack.

James is definitely one of the top talents in basketball so far. He is the spirit on the basketball court created by God.

A few years later. Some people have made this assessment of the NBA from 2008 to 2018.

God created a Kobe, but his old man was a little dissatisfied, so he created James again. But Xu felt that James would be lonely after reaching his peak, so he created Li Cheng and Durant. In order to make this alliance no longer lonely, so that the little emperor cannot be lonely and invincible in the world after ascending the throne. However, his personal achievements were too monotonous, so he wrote the perfect script for Popovich.

These are people who stand at the top of the NBA, and these people are all born for basketball. Their savings are to promote the development of basketball.

This time, after observing it, James was ready to forcibly attack the basket of the Chinese team.

But Yao Ming's supplementary defense made James lose the opportunity to attack. He jumped to his feet. But he didn't attack the basket, because if he attacked the basket at this time, then Yao Ming would definitely treat him to a hot Chinese hot pot on this hot summer day.

After the take-off. James just began to observe the movements of his teammates on the court. This time, he's shown an outrageous ability to stay in the air.

James spotted the gap in the pass. He threw the ball out with one hand, in Bryant's direction.

Li did not have a personal "protection" for Kobe Bryant in the future. But James's pass seemed to Li Cheng to have a chance to steal.

Li Cheng's body tensed, and then he rushed out. His powerful explosiveness allowed his speed to reach the limit in this moment.

Kobe Bryant saw that Li Cheng had the idea of breaking the ball, and also greeted him in the direction of the ball.

Li Cheng roared, and finally touched the basketball first, he poked his fingers, making the basketball change direction, and then he pounced along the defense of the basketball.

"It's broken! Can Li Cheng control the ball? Yu Jia shouted loudly.

At this time, all the people of the Chinese team had already run to the opposite half.

Li Cheng finally controlled the ball, and he shouted, "Run!" ”

He himself no longer has the opportunity to complete a dragon attack with the ball, so whether he can play this fast break depends on his teammates.

Sun Yue took the lead in running at the forefront of everyone, and he is now the most impactful player in the Chinese team.

Li Cheng has always taken the route of technical flow, while Sun Yue is a player who rushes and hits.

"Catch!" Li Cheng roared again and threw the ball far away.

A very accurate long pass, Sun Yue didn't need to slow down to catch the ball, the basketball appeared in front of him, and finally caught up with the basketball with his speed that he had improved again.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yue was like a charging general, he rode a horse, and the spear in his hand plunged into the heart of his opponent.

It was another powerful dunk, Sun Yue hung his hands on the basket and shouted to his heart's content.

With Sun Yue's shout, the fans at the scene also let out a violent shout.

"Good Ball !!" After Sun Yue landed, he opened his arms and gave Li Cheng a "fierce" hug.

Maybe he was too excited, Sun Yue's face was a little deformed, but his dunk was extremely important. The Chinese team relied on Li Cheng's steal + assist and Sun Yue's dunk to stabilize its position again.

After this goal, the Chinese team played steadily and steadily, and slowly narrowed the gap in the score.

The U.S. team also exposed some problems at this time, and these NBA superstars did not cooperate tacitly. And they are the core of their respective teams, and they are all masters who want to control the ball in their hands.

If there are five balls on the field. Maybe the Chinese team can surrender directly, but fortunately, there is only one goal. The U.S. team hasn't been able to bring out the best in them.

The Chinese team continued to play steadily, and they once again bit the score. In front of the hegemon of this world basketball world, the Chinese team stabilized its position.

"It's incredible, we all thought the Chinese team was going to collapse, but then they stabilized their position."

"In this game, the Chinese team's defense was very good, while the American team didn't seem to feel very good, and their shooting was a little poor. If it weren't for their sharp counterattack, they might be the ones who are lagging behind now. ”

Old K called a timeout again, and now everything else is not easy to say. There are still 4 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, and the Chinese team is only 3 points behind, so it depends on how Lao K makes a move next and how the Chinese team picks up. ”

"Next, as long as the Chinese team bites the score in the second quarter, maybe there will be a chance to create a miracle in the end."

"I don't dare to hope for a miracle, at least to make the American team feel the pressure and make them scramble for a while, which is a victory for the Chinese team."

After the timeout, the U.S. team switched to a pure small lineup. Looks like they're going to get the break to the end.

The Chinese team has Yao Ming on the inside, and it will definitely not be fast, so the American team will carry out the word "fast" to the end.

Old K's strategy was right, but after the game restarted. It was the weakness of the Chinese team that Lao K wanted to grasp and started his first flash in this game.

Li Cheng has scored 18 points so far, but Yao Ming has only scored 6 points. Such a number is definitely not worthy of Yao Ming's name.

Yao Ming bared his fangs in front of the small squad of the American team, and his "Shanghai footsteps" that he hadn't seen in a long time since Van Gundy coached the Rockets finally appeared again in the Olympic arena.

Yao Ming shook several times. Shake off the bosh, and then hit it easily with a hook hand.

He then gave Wade a big hat on the defensive end. The Chinese team's fast break did not work, but Yao Ming scored another dunk on the inside, and he sent four points in a row plus a big hat, and the Chinese team overtook the score again.

The game between the two teams has really been in a state of anxiety so far.

The combination of Li Cheng and Yao Ming, one inside and one outside, really caused very huge trouble for the Americans. But after the score was overtaken, the American team did not mess up. After all, these people are the core of their own team, what wind and waves have not been seen?

Wade, who had just been capped, was ready to have one of his own, after all, he also wanted to get back face, didn't he?

Paul passed the ball to Wade just after halftime, and now they are one point behind, which is not a big deal.

Wade just received the pass, and he was instantly unreserved, he immediately prepared to attack the basket, and after a dispensable change of direction, his first move was maximized!

Dwyane Wade's first step, that speed must be lightning fast, otherwise how could he be called "The Flash"?

Lost Steps! Wade passed Li Cheng in one step, and then he held the ball in both hands and circled twice in the air.

Wade's famous layup around the ball!

Wade's attack, so fast that no one in the Chinese team reacted, he had already rushed to the inside, and the basketball was smashed into the basket by him.

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant and James played lively, but he Flash hasn't been powerful yet! This time, the Flash finally burst out all his energy.

Wade's goal was wonderful, but it could only be part of a great game.

Next, Li Cheng and Kobe Bryant took turns to perform a backward jumper, which seemed to mean that the audience around the world would evaluate who had the more beautiful backward jumper.

However, the step-back jumpers of the two of them are really not easy to compare together.

Bryant's step-back jumper was clean, but Li Cheng's step-back jumper was extremely angled, and his posture was graceful like a dance.

Li Cheng and Yao Ming's saving zΓ i made it impossible for the U.S. team to widen the point difference. The two teams have always maintained a gap of 1 point, and sometimes the Chinese team can still lead, but no one can continue to widen the difference.

Lao K also felt the difficulty of the Chinese team for the first time on the sidelines.

Before the game, Lao K said, "The Chinese team is a very strong opponent, and they also have the best players in the world, so we must not underestimate the enemy." ”

At that time, he was just saying some spectacle in front of reporters, but now he really admits it.

The Chinese team is really a very difficult opponent.

The second quarter came to an end in a dog-and-tooth battle, with 21 seconds left in the second quarter and the U.S. led by one point at 48-47, this time with the ball in their hands.

Bryant was on the ball from outside the three-point line, and he was going to compress the time for the last shot, and it seemed that he was going to finish the last shot himself.

With 15 seconds left, Bryant moved. He stepped out in one step, then pushed Li Cheng away with an elbow, and then continued to kill inside.

Iverson's first step, Kobe's third step, those are all unchasable existence.

Kobe Bryant, who has already taken three steps, is no longer something that Li Cheng can catch up with from behind, Yao Ming came out to make up for the defense, and Kobe Bryant stopped and leaned back to shoot directly.

The basketball smashed into the basket but didn't go in, and Howard grabbed the rebound and he was ready to make a layup.

But at this moment, a man jumped up and covered Howard's up.

Sun Yue!

Howard thinks it's impossible to cover his own people!

$1,100 out of his pocket is still a small matter, and this time it's a shame.

But now no one really cares whether Howard is ashamed or not, and there are still 3 seconds left in the second quarter of the game, and the Chinese team has to grab the last ball.

In the chaos, Yi Jianlian held the ball, and he seemed to see Li Cheng outside the three-point line, so he threw the ball in that direction.

Li Cheng received the ball with his left hand, then immediately turned to face the basket and threw the ball directly to the basket of the American team.

The basketball smashed straight through like a cannonball.

"Bump!" The basketball smashed on the rebound, then bounced, and the ball fell into the basket.

"Li Cheng's super long-distance three points, in!" (To be continued......)
