Chapter Seventy-Seven: Faith, Tears, Weakness!
Why do they get tired so quickly?
Why are they always not fast enough and are always hesitating? Always making mistakes, making mistakes?
Why are they always so soft and always unbearable?
Why can't the bad habits of Chinese players always be changed?
Why can't the level of the CBA league be improved so far?
Why can't the players I want, the players I want to scout?
If a player doesn't perform well, do you report it in the newspapers?
Why did we not have confidence in playing when Yao Ming was away?
Why do the players keep asking me about every style of play?
The above nine question marks are the life-threatening "nine questions" of Chinese coach Younas that stirred up the storm back then!
To this day, no one can answer Younas's question, and this "nine questions" are like a curse, pressing on the history of the Chinese men's basketball team and profoundly affecting the future development.
In the dressing room, most of the players were out of breath and in poor form, with only a few showing no signs of fatigue.
Unexpectedly high-intensity confrontation, Lin Mu thought that after rigorous training, the players could at least hold on until the end of the third quarter, but the determination of the American team was unexpected, and the indiscriminate bombardment in the second quarter disrupted Younas's pre-game deployment.
In that intractable five minutes, Younas couldn't make any adjustments, the five people on the field were already the best lineup, once the balance was broken and the score was pulled away, even Lin Mu was helpless.
This situation directly led to the serious consumption of the main force, and at halftime, it could only recover some physical strength, and could not fully recover.
At the beginning of the second half, against the American team in such a state, it was inevitable to lose!
Just over the halfway point of the game, do you have to disarm and surrender?
From the facial expressions of his teammates, Lin Mu saw the word compromise.
That's a helpless recognition, that's helpless silence!
In this case, Lin Mu will never allow it!
In his dictionary, as long as the earth is still turning, the road under your feet will always be forward!
"Maybe the world is like this, but we are still on the way, and no one can tell us about our future!"
"The road under our feet is taken by ourselves, and the glory of the Chinese men's basketball team is also created by us!"
"If even we want to give up, if even we can't persevere, then what is the future of Chinese basketball?"
"Look at the hoarse fans outside, they haven't given up yet, they're still cheering for us, cheering for us!"
"I, Lin Mu, will never compromise even if I fight until the last second!"
A firm voice sounded in the locker room, and all the players, including Yao Ming, looked at Lin Mu with surprised expressions.
"Fuck it! I have never compromised in my Zhu Fangyu's dictionary! ”
"Isn't that Team America? Lao Tzu can't beat them, won't he fight hard? ”
"It's done! Lin Mu, Lao Tzu wants to fight you to the end! The boxing king stood up reluctantly, his expression excited.
"And me, I won't compromise, I will fight to the end!" The same is true of the United Arab Emirates, which has the style of the future men's basketball boss.
"The younger generation is working so hard, my old guy can't say anything about the chain." Wang Zhizhi patted his buttocks, got up and stood up and said.
"Then fight! We Chinese people are never afraid of losing, and we are never afraid of losing, but our backbone cannot be lost, and no one can give up until the last second! ”
The Great Wall joined the ranks with firm conviction.
Why do they get tired so quickly?
Why are they always not fast enough and are always hesitating? Always making mistakes, making mistakes?
Why are they always so soft and always unbearable?
Why can't the bad habits of Chinese players always be changed?
Faced with such a scene, Younas seemed to understand something.
Looking at Lin Mu, a young man who is only 19 years old, his presence seems to have brought something, something that can change the Chinese men's basketball team.
That thing, it's called faith!
At the beginning of the second half, everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team had firm expressions, they did not flinch, they did not feel timid because of the strength of the opponent, they will fight the enemy to the end just like in the first half!
"Don't underestimate the enemy anymore, show your strongest strength!"
"This Huaxia team is worth your best!"
"Go and conquer them, go to victory, and let the whole world know that we are back!"
In the firm words of Coach K, the U.S. men's basketball team united for the first time to fight for the team and the country!
"The first battle against China, I don't know if it's a good thing for us." Before the game, Coach K said to media reporters like this.
However!
Now, he has an answer!
"Thank you for giving this group of lazy superstars a real sense of what a real team is!"
At the beginning of the third quarter, the storm suddenly changed!
Compared to the temptation in the first half, the American team launched a strong offensive in the first minute!
The Chinese men's basketball team continued to use the opening lineup, and Sun Yue went to the second position to defend Kobe.
The two who are about to work together have a direct dialogue, Kobe Bryant changed the way of passing in the first half and began to play low back to show his strong strength!
Sun Yue has a strong defense, but how can he block Kobe Bryant's offense?
Like a textbook step-back jumper, the basketball goes into the net.
Liu Wei held the ball, and Kidd gave enough intensity as soon as he came up, forcing the latter to be sad for half the court, resulting in a rare 8 seconds for example.
Looking at Liu Wei's performance, Younas waved his decisive hand, Sun Yue came to the No. 1 position, Zhu Fangyu came off the bench to the position of scoring guard, and after exchanging with Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu's weight can also effectively limit Kobe's back singles, killing two birds with one stone.
Kidd controlled the ball and passed to Anthony, who hit a stick and went back to nothing.
Lin Mu saw the right time and quickly pushed the counterattack!
Under the interception of three people of the American team, the ball was passed to Zhu Fangyu, who was on the outside line.
The latter hit the ground running, a three-point shot!
The fierce battle continued, and the American players continued to attack the inside line, forcing Yao Ming to jump one after another, and the damage to his ankle was extremely huge!
Considering Yao Ming's state and the subsequent Olympic schedule, Younas gritted his teeth and did not choose the head iron, letting Wang Zhizhi replace Yao Ming as a substitute.
With the gradual fatigue of Chinese players and the decline in the height of the inside line, the old K coach found the key point and replaced Wade, who has stronger impact ability.
At this time, the U.S. team no longer has the traditional No. 1 player, and the all-talent system of Kobe, James, Wade, Anthony and Howard is bound to break down the defense in the third quarter and win!
The strongest lineup of the U.S. men's basketball team showed its super strength in the first game!
Wade broke through with the ball, ignoring Zhu Fangyu's frontal defense, the title of Flash is not in vain, fast as lightning, and he left Zhu Laoba behind him in one step.
Facing Wang Zhizhi, what does Wade want to do?
He's going to buckle!
Yes!
Wade jumped high, ignoring Wang Zhizhi's defense, wanting to rely on his physical talent to crush the latter and dunk the basketball into the basket!
“NO!”
"Don't!"
The audience had already covered their eyes, and they didn't want to see such a cruel scene.
"Wade, watch out for the side!"
Just as Vedra bowed to the full moon and was about to make a brutal slap, Lin Mu arrived and came from the side!
"Bang!"
The power confrontation between Wade and Lin Mu, Wade failed to complete the dunk, but Lin Mu also received a foul because of this.
"Cheer up, the game isn't over yet!"
After the foul, Lin Mu roared loudly, he wanted to wake up his teammates with his voice and let them continue to fight!
There is only one minute left in the third quarter, and the state of the Chinese players has reached the limit, and the only thing that supports them is the arrogance of the Chinese people and the belief of not admitting defeat!
68:56!
Unconsciously, the U.S. team has stretched the score to double digits, the Chinese players dragged their tired bodies and persevered on the field, they wanted to rest for a while, but the game is not over, even if they break their legs, they have to persevere, and they must continue to pass on this belief!
looked at Wang Zhizhi who was bent over and sweating profusely on the inside, looked at Zhu Fangyu's heels that couldn't stand on his feet because of fatigue, looked at the UAE fighting on the inside, and the red-eyed face that had been killed, and Yao Ming, who had his back to him and was like a mountain.
Lin Mu took a deep breath, and in the face of the last attack of the American team, he decisively stood in front of Kobe!
Kobe Bryant, the black mamba who will never pass the ball easily at the last moment, he saw the flame burning in Lin Mu's eyes, which is the unyielding challenge of the strong and the courage to defeat the opponent!
"Boy, I accept your challenge!" Bryant grinned, his expression focused for a moment.
Lin Mu wants to win, why shouldn't he?
Kobe Bryant's stubbornness is well known, he didn't call for any blocking, signaled his teammates to open up the space, and he wanted to have a one-on-one heads-up with Lin Mu!
Lin Mu also raised his hand, he didn't want his teammates to get involved in his duel with Kobe.
It's a tactic, a strategy to buy recovery time for your teammates.
Whether Kobe Bryant can score or not, it has no impact on Lin Mu.
The defense is successful, Lin Mu earns blood, and it can also greatly improve the morale of the team.
The defense failed, Lin Mu didn't lose, anyway, the situation was bad enough, what are these two points?
"Come on! Let me see what the best scoring guard is in the world today! Lin Mu beckoned, his expression not afraid at all.
With the camera in focus, basketball fans around the world are holding their breath in anticipation of the upcoming story.
"! Do you think Lin Mu can succeed? Wei Shao asked with some concern.
"Whether he succeeds or not, I will always support him!" Curry raised his hand and clenched his fist with one hand, excited inside.
"It's not fun to talk to yourself, Lin Mu is playing with fire!"
"I don't believe he can't win Kobe!" Thompson, who had a hard mouth, went online again, and his trembling hands revealed his worry about Lin Mu.
"Come on! Even though I'm a Kobe fan, you're my good brother! DeRozan thought silently in his heart, his face expressionless.
When Kobe Bryant shoots with his hand and countless pairs of eyes are projected, can this goal be scored?
Realistic feints, Kobe's shooting posture shook everyone!
As long as Lin Mu jumps, Kobe Bryant can turn around in an instant and complete the layup!
This is Kobe's signature and one of the means by which Black Mamba induces opponents!
"You've been fooled!" Kobe Bryant, who was about to make a turn, saw Lin Mu's smug smile.
The feint attribute of 92 made Lin Mu see through Kobe's thoughts, he did not choose to jump, but went down with one hand and slapped it on the ground!
The basketball that was held in the palm of Kobe Bryant's hand landed on the ground, Lin Mu fell to the ground to grab the ball, and handed it to Yao Ming in the bewildered eyes of the American generals, Yao Ming broke through and completed the whistle dunk at the last second of the third quarter!
"Good shot! It was a clean steal! It's a beautiful dunk! ”
"Lin Mu and Yao Ming have completed the relay connection!"
The fans who had been silent for a long time burst into cheers again, and the long-pent-up worries were completely released at this moment.
Find a glimmer of light in the darkness, and a glimmer of comfort in the storm.
Lin Mu was right, watching his teammates regain their strength, watching the fans boiling again, is there anything more gratifying than this?
We can lose, but we definitely have to lose!
Even if I'm the only one left, I'll take your strength and go on together!
This is a responsibility, but also a responsibility.
Under the protection of Big Brother, we will eventually grow up, and being alone is the only way out!
When Lin Mu stole Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming completed the dunk, and the third quarter counted the seconds, Lin Mu knew in his heart that the night that belonged to Huaxia was over after all.
The Chinese players in the fourth quarter were exhausted, and when the spiritual food no longer worked, the main force was exhausted, and only Lin Mu was still fighting bloodily on the field.
Wang Shipeng wanted to survive in a desperate situation and help Huaxia turn the tide, but after all, his strength was limited and he failed to complete a score.
Du Feng and Li Nan also tried their best, and their abilities were not as good as the starters, but they also wanted to play with style and arrogance.
Lin Mu defends James, Lin Mu defends Kobe, Lin Mu makes up for the inside line, Lin Mu falls to the ground to grab the ball, and Lin Mu completes the block.
In the last section, everyone's minds echoed with that figure, on the commentary seat, Director Zhang was already a little choked, he repeated Lin Mu's name over and over again, even if he encountered a buckle in the process of changing defenses, Lin Mu did not slack off at all, and conscientiously completed every defense and every attack.
Until the last moment of the game, Lin Mu was still entangled with James, trying to intercept the latter outside the paint area.
James also went all out to express his respect for Lin Mu in the most extreme way.
All the players of the U.S. team still maintained their competitive state despite the steady victory, and fought with Lin Mu until the last second!
When the final whistle sounded, Lin Mu stood a little lonely in the center of the field.
Look at the numbers on the scorer.
110:90。
Trailing by 20 points, the Huaxia team lost the game to the mighty U.S. men's basketball team.
The irreversible difference in strength, such a score is acceptable to everyone, but for Lin Mu, it is like a humiliation, engraved on the heart!
It was difficult to breathe, which made Lin Mu feel like he was in his throat!
"There's nothing you can do, that's how it feels?"
Looking up at the sky, Lin Mu shed tears.
"I, don't be so weak again!"
