298。 The dragon flies

With 12 seconds left, Kobe Bryant, who had the ball in his hand, waved his hand, and Boozer and Bosh on the inside coincidentally left the penalty area, so that Chamberlain couldn't stay long, otherwise it would become a defensive three-second, and he got to the top of the penalty area according to his habit.

Everyone has their favorite position, and the NBA has a special word for this, which is 'lucky position'. For example, Duncan likes to be in the 45th corner of the right wing from the mid-range, Maddie likes to be a little left or right at the top of the three-point line, and Iverson likes two feet, where they are particularly comfortable with their offense.

Chamberlain likes to stay at the top of the penalty area when defending, he believes that this is his own Chinese army tent, and he has absolute command here: if the outside line wants to enter the penalty area, it must be agreed by him, and the inside player is in the penalty area, he can also complete the defense at any time, this is a fortress for him to connect the inside and outside, as long as he stands here, the opponent does not want to score easily.

Kobe glanced at Zhu Fangyu, who was defending him, the corners of his mouth showed a free and easy smile, when the time jumped to only five seconds, his fierce step was wrong, his slender body leaned slightly to the left, and at the same time, his right foot exerted force, and the ball of the right hand holding the ball instantly reached the left side with a twist of the shoulder, and he began to change direction and break through with great strides.

Zhu Fangyu held Kobe Bryant with one hand and opened the other hand and tried to move sideways to the right side to block the other party, the two were entangled and took two steps in a row, and Zhu Fangyu's defense was no problem. But two steps later, Kobe's inclined body suddenly pressed against Zhu Fangyu's chest, and then a hand stuck in his waist suddenly forced, his left heel rolled on the floor, his body spun half of his body like lightning, and he took a big stride, breaking through Zhu Fangyu like this.

Broke through Zhu Fangyu, Kobe Bryant broke through from the middle, Chamberlain gathered the most powerful strength left in his body, bent down and spread his arms and retreated, all the way to the penalty area - he was not worried that Kobe would make a stop-and-go jump shot, he had already understood his plan from Kobe's eyes, Kobe Bryant wanted to single him out and dunk him!

No matter what time the audience was, Chamberlain was defending his dignity, and the Dream Team was full of good players, but no one could dunk him head-on, whether it was the fierce James or the fierce Wade or even the elegant Kobe, they did not do it.

Now that the game is coming to an end, Kobe Bryant wants to draw a perfect end to this game, and his choice is to dunk Chamberlain head-on!

Sure enough, Chamberlain retreated all the way to the penalty area, and Kobe Bryant immediately held the ball and hit the penalty area.

His feet stepped on the top arc of the forbidden area, and the calf muscles tightened, as if a piece of steel was embedded in the black skin, hard, wild, and full of strength!

As soon as he stepped down, Kobe's other foot followed up like lightning, exactly the same, his whole body muscles were raised high, and the whole person looked like a fighting machine.

Striding into the forbidden area, Kobe Bryant bowed his knees, and then he took a deep breath, two cold lights suddenly emitted from his eyes, his mouth let out a clear angry shout, his right hand put away the ball in his lower abdomen, and his slender and powerful body was like a launched missile, which flew into the air on the floor and flew directly towards the hoop.

"Don't think!" A roar was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Chamberlain gritted his teeth and spit out these two words from between his teeth, he jumped up with a hideous expression, and his exhausted and weak body was still like an iron wall firmly defending the forbidden area of the Chinese men's basketball team, which could not be broken!

This is a no-fly zone, this is my forbidden area, this is my territory, here, it's a dragon you have to hold for me, it's a tiger you have to hold for me!

The rifled missile flew obliquely, while Chamberlain went straight up and down, like a straight steel gun, standing proudly in the air in the restricted area.

In an instant, Kobe Bryant flew to the top, he pulled his feet back and forth, held the ball in his right hand like a blacksmith picking up a hammer, and in the face of Chamberlain's defense, he raised his eyebrows and smashed the ball to the hoop.

Chamberlain was hit by Kobe Bryant, he had long lost his strength, he never paid attention to this kind of impact before, but this time he was helpless to find that he couldn't block such an attack, under Kobe's impact, his weak body could not continue to maintain balance, and he was about to be knocked over!

This is impossible! Chamberlain roared inwardly, and he raised his arms high with all his might, and his five fingers scrambled to the ball in Kobe's hand.

Kobe Bryant was taken aback, he didn't expect that he almost knocked over Chamberlain, his hand was still firmly held high and almost covered himself, he is now flying in the air is also a critical moment, the new force is not born, the old force is exhausted, and he has jumped to the highest point, if you want to continue to complete the dunk, I am afraid that you will have to eat a big hat if you press your arm!

There was no way Kobe Bryant could only change the expected dunk to a throw, with a wrist pick, precise control of the ball flying high, and then crossed a perfect arc and fell into the hoop:

"Huh!" The voice was crisp and beautiful, Chamberlain fell heavily to the ground, and in the face of Kobe's throwing, he was completely helpless!

"Toot!" After the crisp sound of the basketball entering the net, a sharp and piercing beep sounded, and the surrounding area of the rebound suddenly turned bright red, and the game was over!

When he heard the whistle for the end of the game, Chamberlain couldn't continue to stand firm, he staggered a step after landing and fell directly to the ground: tired, too tired!

Kobe Bryant also staggered to the ground, but he didn't fall, but went up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Chamberlain, and said with a smile: "Rookie, do you know the way, if I can deduct one of you just now, I can earn 1.2 million US dollars?" Then I can divide you 600,000! ”

Chamberlain didn't want to move, Kobe Bryant pulled him and dragged him forward, but he didn't pull it up, which made Kobe cry and laugh: he was still a tough guy during the game, how did he become a scoundrel now?

On the scoreboard, it was scarlet 104-90, and the Chinese men's basketball team played so hard, but it still lost by 14 points at the end.

But the fans at the scene were obviously very satisfied, it was a dream to beat the dream team, and now, they are so close to that dream, and today's game has made them satisfied, their team has played very hard, dare to fight, although defeated!

At the end of the game, the fans did not leave the court, and stood up and gave warm applause to both sides of the game, whether it was the American men's basketball team or the Chinese men's basketball team, they did their best in this game, and they could force the dream team to do their best to this part, which was something that Chinese fans could not think of before.

"Chamberlain, hero! Chamberlain, hero! Chamberlain, hero! ”

"Dragons, come on! Dragons, come on! Dragons, come on! ”

The neat cheers resounded in the sky, Chamberlain couldn't continue to lie on his stomach, so he stood up and waved to the fans, Kobe Bryant hugged Chamberlain, with a bright smile on his handsome face: except for failing to dunk on Chamberlain's head after the worst, everything else was perfect.

"What do you mean, 1.2 million?" Chamberlain asked Bryant out loud that he had always been sensitive to money.

Bryant smiled and told Chamberlain about his offer, who gasped and then exclaimed in annoyance, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" I'll honestly let you deduct one, how good it would be for you to give me the money! ”

LeBron, Wade, Kidd and other players began to prepare to leave, they came up to hug the Chinese team players, today's opponent deserves their respect, they have worked hard.

With the CBA players, they just simply hugged, and with Chamberlain and Yao Ming, they joked when they were more familiar, and left after laughing for a while.

Bush Jr. stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel and high-fived each Dream Team player, Kobe and James stayed on the scene to accept the courtside interview of reporters after the game, CCTV sent Yu Jia to interview Kobe, he asked: "Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game today, Kobe, can you evaluate your opponent?" ”

Kobe Bryant and Yu Jia knew each other, and the latter interviewed him several times, and he shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "You're not right, man, it's not a game, it's a fight, a fierce battle." My opponent did a very good job, everybody knew it, we gave our best to each other, to defend with all our might, to attack with all our might, to cooperate with all our might. They did a great job, especially Z, he did everything a player could do, he is a hero today, I envy him because he is young and he is good! ”

Chamberlain didn't stay on the pitch to warm up, he was so tired, Nelson Jr. directly escorted him into the players' tunnel first, the fans never left, and greeted him with applause, Chamberlain turned around and waved to the fans, his tired face was still full of bright smiles.

Yao Ming stayed on the field for an interview, and he listened attentively to the reporter's question: "As the person who got the most points today, Da Yao, do you have anything to say?" ”

Yao Ming scored 40 points today, which is the record of a Chinese men's basketball player in the history of the Olympic Games, and also the scoring record after allowing professional players to participate in men's basketball events at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, which was previously held by Marbury with 31 points, which he set at the Greek Olympics, and the overall Olympic record was 55 points set by Oscar Zmitt of the Spanish men's basketball team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Yao Ming was obviously very excited to get this score, he thought for a while and said: "I'm very proud, but we know that it's not my merit alone, I got 40 points, and it's more that my teammates help, especially Chamberlain, who completely helped me share the pressure on the defensive end, I have to thank him, otherwise I don't have much strength to score." ”

The reporter then asked, "Since you mentioned your teammates, then Da Yao, do you want to say something to your team?" ”

Yao Ming smiled and waved and said, "This is not my team, but our team!" We lost the game, but I feel like we played really well and I'm proud of my teammates and we don't regret it. "Before this game, all of us were in a circle, we all put our hands together, and we encouraged each other to carry this team on our shoulders, and it was probably just a matter of saying it, but luckily we did it. ”

"It's a shame to lose to the Dream Team, but there's a lot of games to come, what are your thoughts on that?" The reporter asked again.

Yao Ming said with a smile: "You may not know the way, before the game, our head coach Mr. Nelson divided our game into two kinds, one is the 'winnable battle', the other is the 'must-win battle', except for the dream team, I think the others are the latter, we have to win every game!" But there is no doubt that we have to play one game at a time, and we can't think too much about it, because all the teams in the Olympics are strong teams, and this is what we need to do is to make ourselves stronger, and we have this confidence! ”

Being able to play a close match with the Dream Team made Yao Ming more optimistic about the future than ever, and he felt that the opponents behind him were nothing to fear.

For the fans who can still follow the Chinese team's game late at night, Yao Ming expressed his gratitude to the camera, he said to the camera: "Thank you to every audience who came to the scene, thank you to the audience who waited for our game in front of the TV until late at night, thank you for your attention to us, this is a human event, we will insist on fighting and give you a satisfactory result." ”
