Chapter 337: Jedi Strikes Back (Asking for Support)
338γ The Jedi Strikes Back
Chamberlain's block was domineering, and the strong Matthew Leith was directly knocked to the ground by him, not only failed to dunk, but ate a complete hot pot!
But if anyone thinks that this is all Chamberlain's ability, it is a big mistake, and what is even more exciting is that he launched a powerful fast counterattack!
One defense and one attack, Chamberlain knocked over two of the toughest players in Lithuania, he landed on the ground with his legs on the floor, his upper body leaned back, like a strong bow that was pulled away, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the fans in the stands, and roared: "Guys, go!" β
"Roar!" The cheers of the wind and waves then rang out, and the two supreme leaders who were close to the age of sixties glanced at each other, and then together they loosened their elegant and upright ties.
Jaftokas got up in embarrassment, he looked at Chamberlain angrily, and shouted, "You are looking for death!" β
Chamberlain smiled fiercely, and his chest muscles bulging like a hill suddenly pressed against Jaftokas's chest, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Watch your words, idiot, I don't want to fucking kill people in the Olympics!" Check out my games in the NBA, more players have died under my hands than you've ever seen! β
Jascovy Hughes took the ball to the frontcourt, Liu Wei pestered him, and in annoyance, he passed the ball to the substitute Marius Precovis.
Precovis, a 1.95-meter-tall two-way defender who is mid-range in physical fitness and good at shooting. He's the standard NBA star compared to his compatriots, as he attended an American high school and played in the NCAA at the University of South Florida, where he was the team's backup scorer. A year later, he returned to Europe, playing first with a Polish team before joining Ε iauliai, the No. 3 team in the Lithuanian league, and was signed by another traditional powerhouse, Litas, this summer.
This year's Olympics were Prekovias' debut at the World Championships, having never been in the national team before being able to join this year after Lithuanian veteran Sanghaila withdrew due to injury.
In fact, Prekovis's ability is not bad, the reason why he has not been able to enter the national team for a long time is because he has poor psychological quality, and he was criticized in this regard when he played in the NCAA before, and this time the Lithuanian team was unavailable, so he was sent out.
Chamberlain's strong dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends caused Precovis' old illness to relapse, and he had the same shortcomings as Odom, so coupled with Jascovisius's fast and ruthless passes, Precovis's inadvertently missed the ball and went out of bounds.
Sun Yue quickly served to Liu Wei, Yao Ming entered the penalty area and fell into position, Liu Wei passed the ball in, Matthew Leiss wanted to trap Yao Ming, but Chamberlain came in from the right wing, so Matthew Leys could not continue to wrap Yao Ming, because the latter passed the ball to Chamberlain.
Chamberlain took two big strides into the penalty area after holding the ball, grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled up his arm, like a tomahawk to slash down.
Matthewlis and Jaftokas wrapped up Chamberlain, Chamberlain smiled coldly and turned around and shook his arm, passing the ball directly out of the box.
Zhu Fangyu was vacant outside the three-point line, and when he got the ball, there was no one within three meters around, and he could even adjust his posture, and then put on a posture and jump out.
"Huh!" Three-point hit!
At 29-21, the Chinese team chased the difference to single digits.
Jascovisius's face became solemn, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, played Liu Wei, he quickly shook his shoulders to change direction, Liu Wei shook his subconsciously backwards, and after pulling away the distance, Jascovisius stepped back and jumped and jumped.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, a huge figure appeared out of thin air, pressing on Jascovitius's nerves like a black cloud!
Chamberlain, who was in a high position, was waiting for this opportunity, and as soon as he slapped up, he pressed the ball down.
As soon as Sun Yue leaned over to pick up the ball, Prekovios hurriedly went up to press it, and he was embarrassed by his previous mistakes, so he wanted to strengthen his defense to make a contribution.
The outside line of the Chinese team is poor, but after all, he is also a national player, especially Sun Yue, who is also a substitute for the NBA powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers, and his ability is not so bad that the opponent will lose the ball as soon as he presses, he pushes forward along the sideline, and after half court, he quickly pulls the ball horizontally, staggers the contact with Precovis, and begins to accelerate with a larger area.
As Sun Yue advanced along the sideline, Precovis, seeing that the pressing was ineffective, stepped back and pulled down a few distances, waiting for Sun Yue to break through so that he had enough reaction time to mount. In this way, after Sun Yue's unexpected horizontal dribble, the distance between the two widened a few points.
Although it is only a distance of one or two meters, it is enough for these national players to attack.
After half the time, the distance was widened, Sun Yue did not stick to the ball, and threw it in the direction of Zhu Fangyu.
The ball whistled from the half court to the left foot of the three-point line in the front court, this was a large-scale transfer, the Lithuanian players did not expect the Chinese defenders they looked down on to dare to transfer the ball so dangerously, so when Zhu Fangyu got the ball, they realized that the front line of their position was on fire.
Zhu Fangyu jumped up from outside the three-point line on the left wing, and Matthewlis pounced on him like a wolf, stretching his arms with all his fingers open, trying to block the ball with all his might.
Matthew Liss is a defensive expert, he dared to do this, naturally because Zhu Fangyu jumped first, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped, what if he was shaken away?
Zhu Fangyu is jumping, and Matthewlis jumps fast and high enough, if he insists on shooting from a distance, with his shot arc, he will definitely be blocked, but he didn't shoot, but passed! Zhu Fangyu, who was in the air, passed the ball out of the air again, and at this moment, he became a natural killer and became a transmission station, and when the ball came to him, it would only fly to its true owner at a faster speed.
A fierce and fierce figure stabbed in from the middle, Chamberlain!
Jaftokas is also a defensive stalwart and he has been keeping an eye on Oxlade-Chamberlain, so when the latter slotted into the box from the middle, he took the lead from the flank. And Jaftokas made up his mind this time, he must stop Chamberlain, he was deeply ashamed of the scene of being knocked down just now, and he wants to take revenge in this contest!
Chamberlain rushed forward like a powerful tank, while Jaftokas stepped on the floor with his hands open and his legs one after the other, like an iron wall.
But what happened next surprised everyone.
After Chamberlain received the ball, he also rushed to Jaftokas, who closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and waited for this ferocious impact, but it didn't happen at all, Chamberlain pulled his shoulders after receiving the ball, he twisted his waist sideways, and then took a diagonal step, chic against Jaftokas's body and went around.
Rounding Jaftokas, there was a smooth road left under the basket, Chamberlain raised his head proudly, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it outward, his legs bent violently, and the fans at the scene only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and then vaguely saw a rocket soaring into the sky.
With a bang, a violent dunk, Chamberlain smashed the ball into the hoop and landed on the ground and ran forward two steps, he rushed to a camera and held up the jersey fiercely, he put the small national flag representing the Chinese team on his chest in front of the camera, and then roared: "Father, old folks, wait for us to triumph!" β
The applause continued, and the young fans took off their Chamberlain jerseys and waved them in their hands, and the red, yellow and white jerseys flew around like ocean waves!
At 29-25, the score quickly approached.
Lithuania's assistant coach Robetas Kunzettis reminded head coach Bututas: "Boss, I think we should call a timeout, the Chinese played the game they wanted, we can't continue like this." β
Butautas's expression was solemn, but he stubbornly shook his head and said, "No, Robettas, trust our lads, they can do better. β
Jascovisius did not disappoint Butautas, attacking again, he no longer insisted on passing, but broke through like a sharp knife, Liu Wei chased after him in embarrassment, he tried to reach out to stop Jascovitius, but the latter was like a swimming fish, and he completely shook him off after two changes of direction.
Shake off Liu Wei, Jascovisius put away the ball to shoot, Chamberlain no longer hesitated to go up to make up for the defense, seeing this Jascovisius smiled slyly, shook his hand and passed the ball to the vacant Jaftokas because of Chamberlain's departure, the latter did not dare to hesitate, after receiving the ball, he took two steps directly to rush to the basket, and came to a violent dunk to fight back against the Chinese team.
Chamberlain wiped his sweat, Yao Ming patted him on the shoulder, and sneered: "Let me come, Lao Zhang, let me teach them a lesson!" β
The Great Wall of China has erupted into a small universe.
With his back to Lavrinovic, Yao Ming reached out for the ball after he got in position, Lavrinovic greeted Yao Ming with small movements, first stuck the opponent's leg with his knee, and then twisted Yao Ming's back with one hand, and kicked Yao Ming's ankle with the other foot.
Yao Ming stretched out his arm to receive the ball, and instead of hitting it with his back like before, he turned around. As he turned, he curled up his left arm and aimed his elbow at Lavrinovic's chin, and unrelentingly elbowed him up.
After swinging his elbow, Yao Ming moved forward, after all, he is a person who has been in the NBA for many years, what small actions have he not seen? It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't disdain to use such actions, and his personality is more restrained, and he doesn't want to use such means.
But this time, Lithuania provoked him, and this game was too important, since the other party did anything to win, then what else was he polite?
Yao Ming's wave and turn to advance the action was very coherent, even the old and spicy referee didn't see the problem, Lavrinovich snorted and couldn't help but retreat, Yao Ming took advantage of the situation to follow up, jumped slightly under the basket, and sent the ball into the hoop with a flick of his wrist.
Seeing this, Chamberlain immediately waved his arms and shouted: "Well done, Yao, well done!" β
Lavrinovich, who suffered a loss, was unwilling, reached out and pushed Yao Ming, shouting: "Fuck, yellow-skinned man, you dare to do it to me?" β
Yao Ming coldly looked at Lavrinovich and took a step back, he raised his arms to indicate that he had no movement in his hands, Chamberlain was angry, he gritted his teeth and pushed up, but he didn't make a move, but spitted Xingzi and roared: "Soviet Maozi, do you know whose territory this is?" Fuck, I swear to you great **** Stalin, you're going to die, I'm going to kill you sons of bitches! How the fuck do you dare to do it to my brother? Ha, even Stalin's son of a bitch's resurrection can't save you! β
He knew that he couldn't do it, and if he was blown off the court, it would be miserable, what kind of game was this? Olympic semi-finals! There is only one game in four years, and the playoffs are still seven games, and this game is eliminated in one game, and you must not be rash, but you can still move your mouth.
This time, the referees could no longer favor Lithuania, Lavrinovic's action of pushing Yao Ming caused public anger, many fans began to scold emotionally, and there were even mineral water bottles flying all over the sky.
The referee gave Lavrinovic a technical foul, which under FIBA rules is a two-throw throw.
The Chinese team sent free throws is Zhu Fangyu, this is a shooting machine with a free throw shooting rate that is more terrifying than Yao Ming, after two free throws and two hits, Chamberlain held the ball into the penalty area and attracted three people to pass the ball to Yao Ming to a wonderful low post cooperation, Yao Ming hooked his hand and hit it, chasing four points in a row!
At 31-29, the tie was in sight.
At this moment, the Lithuanian coaching staff couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout without hesitation.
