Chapter Seventy-Five: Climax, Fighting, Superstar and Lin Mu!

"Huaxia TV! Huaxia TV! ”

"Welcome everyone to lock in the Huaxia Sports Channel on time at 22:15 in the evening, the second day of the Olympic Games, we will usher in a high-profile focus battle, the Chinese men's basketball team against the United States men's basketball team game is about to begin!"

"This game will be guided by Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping will bring you a review of the game!"

In front of the TV, countless fans have packed up their excitement, when the national anthem sounded in the audience, transmitted to the ears of every family through the audio, everyone couldn't help but be solemn, stood up and saluted, and looked at the five-star red flag that belongs to China rising!

Lin Mu's expression was serious, looking at the red flag floating in front of him, a familiar voice sounding in his ears, and he couldn't help but think of the wild era when his predecessors threw their heads and spilled blood.

Today, the competition with the American team is inevitably going to be desperate!

Even if the strength is not as good as the opponent, the momentum must not be lost!

If you lose, you will lose!

In the pre-game warm-up, Kobe Bryant deliberately found Lin Mu and whispered in his ear.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to release water today!" Kobe said to Lin Mu with a smile.

"Oops! Who do you TM look down on? ”

"Drain the water? If I don't let you peel off the skin today, do you think I'll give up? Lin Mu's eyes were horizontal, and he had the courage to give up his body and dare to ask the general to pull off the horse.

"Hey, hey, no wonder Wei Shao and they all said that you were Lin Papi, and now I finally know why." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Peel?

Wei Shao?

What does this have to do with them?

Did I Lin Mu pick their skins?

Isn't it just to let them treat them to wash their feet, isn't my Lin Mu not taking enough care of them in training?

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go, you make it clear to me! ”

Slander, can I, Lin Mu, endure it?

In the interval between Lin Mu and Kobe Bryant's conversation, the American team was also discussing Lin Mu.

"That is the MOP who won the NCAA championship?"

"Looks like it's average." Cameron Anthony, known as the offensive kaleidoscope, said calmly that the most valuable player of the NCAA championship, Little Melon has always been arrogant.

Especially now that he is at his peak, being selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years is the best proof!

Under his leadership, the Denver Nuggets are gradually getting on the right track.

Newly traded Allen Iverson, the former son of Philadelphia, the two will join hands to challenge for the championship!

Although the Nuggets were bloodied out of the Lakers in the first round of this year's playoffs, this did not affect Anthony's expanding ambitions.

"Average? Don't underestimate this kid, his strength is far more powerful than you know! James, who had watched Lin Mu's game on the spot, had a different opinion from his good brother.

"How powerful?" The older boy, Howard, was interested, and he liked to hear this kind of interesting news the most.

At this stage, Howard is still the cheerful "Sunshine Big Boy", unaffected by injuries, just won the league's rebounding king this year, and successfully entered the best team, the best defensive second team!

In the next two years, Warcraft will start a violent career, sit in the DPOY, and become a legendary man who can replace James alone!

"Are you still in the mood to worry about this? Think about how to deal with Yao Ming, who beat you up in the Alliance! "Uncle Wei is worthy of being an old fritter, and he poked Howard's soft underbelly with one mouth.

"Humph! I'm going to beat Yao Ming tonight! Look, it's not easy for anyone to come! Howard snorted coldly and turned his head to stop talking.

"This Huaxia team is not simple, don't underestimate the enemy, you must go all out!"

The legendary coach of the NCAA, Coach K has a strong reputation in the team, and only in this way can he suppress the big stars in the United States.

Of course, there is not only Lao K in the coaching team in the United States, but also assistant coaches.

Mike D'Antoni, Nate McMillan and Jim Boheim, each of whom are well-known league coaches, have led their respective teams to impressive records.

Among them, D'Antoni is famous for the Suns' run-and-bomb tactics, leading the Suns to the first place in the Pacific Division for four consecutive years.

Knight McMillan, the former Seattle SuperSonics coach, led the Portland Trail Bla Blazers to a 50 percent win rate this year, and in the future, the defensive coach will continue his legendary journey with the Trail Blazers and Pacers.

Last one, Jim Boheim!

Perhaps Chinese fans don't know it, Jim Burheim is the 5th all-time coach in NCAA history for coaching wins, and his entire coaching career was at Syracuse University.

Under his leadership, Syracuse University has reached the NCAA National Championship 27 times and the NCAA Finals three times.

In 2003, Berheim led Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship over Kansas.

At the same time, Berheim also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. men's basketball team during the 1990 World Championships, the 2006 World Championships, the 2008 Olympics and the 2010 World Championships.

Off the pitch, Berheim is equally formidable and a very brave prostate cancer fighter.

That's right, Anthony's mentor in college was Jim Boheim!

The luxurious lineup system and luxurious coaching team once made this "Dream Eight" known as the second only "Dream One" super team!

Before the game, the "Dream Eight Team" was called the "Redemption Team" by the domestic media in the United States, trying to save American basketball after six consecutive years of sluggish form in international competitions.

The stumbles and thrills of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the continuous failure of the 2004 Athens Olympics to the darkest moment, with the gray memory of American basketball for 8 years, the "Dream Eight Team" came to China.

They have only one goal: to win the championship.

In addition to Duncan and Garnett, two legendary interior players of the "five-star generals" who fought for the NBA championship and politely declined, the "Dream Eight" is a condensation of all the essence of the NBA, comparable to the fantasy team led by Jordan 16 years ago.

U.S. basketball director Colangelo also said before the game: "We want to use the championship to show the world that there is still the best basketball in the birthplace of the sport." We want to prove that we are invincible. ”

With such strength, such a lineup, and such a belief in victory, everyone understands that the American team, which has played invincible opponents all over the world, is coming back!

The handshake signaled, the fist salute before the whistle, the smell of gunpowder had been ignited, and with a whistle, the game officially began!

Huaxia team starters: Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Lin Mu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming!

The players on the field are almost the strongest lineup that Chinese coach Younas can arrange!

Point guard Liu Wei, the main point guard of the Huaxia team who was criticized and questioned in his previous life, was once nicknamed Yao Ming's follower by the majority of netizens.

Fans who are deeply impressed by the Chinese Olympics are most familiar with Liu Wei's last moment against Spain, under the defense of the golden boy Rubio, Liu Wei made a fatal mistake, which made the game enter overtime, and the Chinese team finally lost to Spain due to physical reasons!

"The sinner of the Chinese men's basketball team!"

"He has the ball – Liu Wei will only use his ass to push through half the court."

"He passed the ball - Liu Wei didn't assist, he would only pass half the court, and he would give it to Yao Ming after half time."

"He can't shoot - iron to the point, don't shoot in waves."

"He's got a shot — there could have been a better option."

"Chris Paul, the Lithuanian coach praised him - people are actually accumulating character, and foreigners praise everyone when they see him."

is such a Liu Wei who has been belittled by countless people, but he has played for the national team for ten years diligently, and even the decline of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future, those fans who criticized Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh: "What the hell, you TM is not as good as Liu Wei!" ”

Offensive Defender: Sun Yue!

Sun Yue, who had an agreement with the Lakers before the game, hoped that Sun Yue could play the role of offensive guard in the national team, and after some deployment, Younas finally chose to put Sun Yue in the second position.

Small forward: Lin Mu!

Lin Mu, who is even better than Anthony in static talent, is particularly important in Younas's tactical position, and the defensive pressure that Lin Mu will bear for the marking of arrow figures is far more than his output on the offensive end!

On the court, Lin Mu will also collide head-on with James, how terrifying James is at his peak, Lin Mu is not completely sure, and he can have enough restrictions on James on the defensive end.

Fortunately, with the presence of Yao Ming on the inside, the pressure on Lin Mufang to break through will be much smaller.

Power forward: Yi Jianlian!

Needless to say, the UAE's athleticism is comparable to the NBA's top power forwards, but what needs to be improved is the UAE's strength and choice of offense and defense.

Anthony, who plays the power forward position, wants to play one-on-one against the United Arab Emirates, and under the rules of the international men's basketball team, it may not be as easy as imagined.

Center: Yao Ming!

Huaxia's interior pillar, NBA All-Star level inside, the top three centers in the league at this stage, is also the main defensive object of the United States team before the game.

How much energy can Yao Ming, who returned from a serious injury, exert on the field, Lin Mu is clear in his heart.

If you want Yao Ming to exist on the court for more time, including Lin Mu himself, you must do more to relieve the pressure on the inside.

USA starting lineup: Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Howard!

If the U.S. selection were more fair, the starting lineup of the U.S. team would be five superstars at the "Big 75" level!

They don't have any shortcomings, they can tear apart any enemy in front of them in just 40 minutes!

Insist on picking bones in the egg, the U.S. team does not have any advantage in interior height, Howard's offensive means are lacking, Anthony's offensive options are not reasonable enough, James's outside shooting, and back-to-back singles are not skilled enough...

However, when talent reaches a certain level, the rest is just a passing moment.

The two sides jumped the ball, Howard and Yi Jianlian with serious expressions stood in the center of the court, and as the basketball was thrown into the sky, Howard suppressed Yi Jianlian and helped the American team win the offensive ball in the first round!

Although Lao K told him before the game, he must be careful to deal with the Huaxia team and not make mistakes in his busyness.

But the superstars were obviously more relaxed in the opening situation, Anthony didn't even look at it, and directly handed the ball to James under the basket.

After James got the ball, Lin Mu quickly got close, his strong body collided head-on with James, James was pushed to near the bottom line, Sun Yue hurriedly stepped forward to wrap up, James missed and knocked the ball out of bounds!

"Mistake! The Huaxia team's defense at the beginning was very good, and they didn't give the opponent any chance to shoot! ”

"Young player Lin Mu forced James to make a mistake in the bottom corner, which is a very good signal for the Chinese team!"

In the commentary seat, Director Zhang unconsciously raised his voice a little, revealing a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Offensive and defensive switching, Liu Wei dribbled over half the court, the U.S. team pressed all over the court, and Liu Wei looked extremely difficult under Kidd's physical confrontation, and was forced to hand the ball to Sun Yue, Sun Yue faced Kobe, the pressure was also huge, and there was no room to break through.

Offensive and defensive, this is the most terrifying thing about the American team!

After the switch of blocking and dismantling, Sun Yue threw the ball to Yao Ming, who was standing near the three-point line, according to the pre-game deployment of the American team, Howard did not defend the outside line at all, giving Yao Ming a chance to shoot three points!

"Brush!"

Yao Ming started with a knife and helped the Huaxia team open the scoring!

"Wow~~"

Yao Ming shoots three points!

The fans at the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and even the commentators were amazed.

In the 404 NBA games Yao played at the time, he had only shot one three-pointer, and the U.S. team was more accustomed to Yao Ming's defensive and rebounding abilities than such an unconventional way!

A three-point shot also kicked off the climax of the opening of the Huaxia team!

The speed of the transition between offense and defense was extremely fast, and as soon as Kidd passed to James, James took the ball and flew forward.

The Huaxia team retreated with their lives, and Lin Mu pressed step by step, using his strong body to delay James's breakthrough.

James was forced to slow down and look for teammates.

Once the speed is reduced, the biggest threat of the American team is reduced, and the quick transition cannot be pushed, and the Chinese team will have more opportunities to defend when they fall into position.

FIBA does not have the so-called defense of three seconds, Yao Ming can stand in the paint area unscrupulously, and the massive use of joint defense will also bring great threats to the United States.

Forced to shoot outside, Anthony shot out of the frame with a three-point shot, Howard jumped high to win the frontcourt rebound, and Howard, who was holding his breath before the game, actually wanted to dunk Yao Ming!

Although Da Yao is not in the best state after returning from injury, the cap monster is extremely simple.

"Come down, you!"

Grizzled, the monster was overturned to the ground by Yao Ming!

Lin Mu quickly grabbed the basketball and handed it to Liu Wei, Liu Wei forced a breakthrough in the face of Kidd, and suffered the same treatment as Howard while making a layup.

The roles are reversed again, and this time the protagonist is replaced by Kobe.

In the face of Lin Mu who came to make up for the defense, Kobe Bryant had no fear, and in the heads-up in the training camp, Kobe naively thought that he could still easily defeat Lin Mu.

But what he didn't know was that one year and two months, Lin Mu was no longer the Lin Mu of the past, and now he has made tremendous progress!

"You still want to single me? Who gave you the courage exactly?! ”

Kobe Bryant forced a layup against Lin Mu, and the moment he made contact with Lin Mu, Kobe Bryant felt strong pressure.

Cover head-on!

This time there is no need for Yao Ming, Lin Mu intercepted Kobe's attack one-on-one!

"Beautiful!"

"Lin Mu! In the No. 4 show in 2008, he showed his physical talent unscrupulously! ”

Sun Zhengping cheered loudly, and Director Zhang was silent.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, which is hard to kill Weiping Bryant!

"Again?" Lin Mu looked at Kobe Bryant with a smile, and now it was the latter's turn to go crazy.

"Get out of the way!" Kobe Bryant pushed Lin Mu away with a black face, and that look was very similar to the actions of a couple after a quarrel.

The U.S. team re-serves, Anthony can only forcibly pull out in the face of Yi Jianlian, the outside line of Huaxia under the joint defense has Lin Mu, and the inside line has Yao Ming, with Anthony's athletic ability to break through, there is a high probability that he will eat a Chinese specialty: spicy hot pot!

In the opening three minutes, the shortcomings of the American team were exposed.

There is no superfluous cooperation, all rely on individual ability to force breakthroughs, defense drives offense, relies on talent to advance quickly, and has the opportunity to hit the inside for layups, but in the same way, they also face the risk of being blocked.

Anthony's jumper continued to hit the iron, and the Chinese team got another chance to break fast!

Looking at the UAE and Liu Wei in front of him, Lin Mu did not choose to pass the ball again, but single-handedly forced a breakthrough under the interference of James!

Russell Galloping!

With the blessing of the skill effect of the good brother, Lin Mu was like a bolt of lightning, quickly rushing towards the hinterland of the United States, dribbling with both hands, wanting to smash the yellow dragon!

But the little emperor in 2008 is incomprehensible, although Lin Mu sped up again, he still did not throw the latter away, if Lin Mu lays up, he will most likely be chased and blocked by James!

"Can you get in? Lin Mu faces James! ”

The audience has long been sweating palms, the game has just begun, and the climax is already continuing!

Who is James?

James is the world-famous little emperor and the ultimate spokesperson for physical fitness!

As a yellow person, can Lin Mu resist James's strong defense?

Looking at the menacing James behind him, Lin Mu did not have the slightest timidity.

What is the best way to break the cap?

Lin Mu jumped up and threw his entire body into the air!

James also jumped and won at a higher height, trying to use his physical talent to complete the block on Lin Mu.

Under the strong confrontation, Lin Mu's core strength did not change, and he firmly controlled the basketball with both hands, and between James's fingers, he completed the two-handed violent dunk!

"Beep beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, the goal is valid, and the penalty is added!

"Wow!"

After landing, Lin Mu couldn't even hear the sound of the whistle, the shouts of the audience had already resounded in the sky, Lin Mu faced James, and really completed the act against the sky!

The U.S. bench has exploded, and they can't imagine that someone in the Chinese team can complete a violent dunk under James' pursuit.

"This is Lin Mu, the player who eliminated us in the NCAA!"

There is no doubt that for Lin Mu's existence, Coach K's heart is also mixed.

From the player's point of view, Lao K likes Lin Mu very much.

But from the perspective of his position, Lao K is really a little disgusted with Lin Mu.

Love and hate coexist, this is probably the contradiction in the heart of every ordinary person.

Lin Mu made free throws, and in addition to Kobe, James became the second American player with a little black face.

Obviously he didn't have any slackness, he knew that he had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop his attack?

At the beginning, Curry's words still echoed in James's ears: "One day, Lin Mu will rule the league!" ”

Now it seems that this is not a joke, but Curry's appreciation for Lin Mu from the bottom of his heart.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have some fun?" As if seeing James's heart, Kobe Bryant said a little jokingly.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Fighting against strong enemies and fighting with juniors, this is what we should expect!"

Kobe licked his lips, his face full of war!

Lin Mu, who was making free throws, didn't know that he had been targeted by the two biggest players in the American team!
