Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Strongest "Doping"

In 1989, after waiting for hours in the lobby of CCTV, Stern knocked on the door of the Chinese market with several tapes from the NBA.

In 1993, CCTV broadcast the NBA Finals for the first time.

It was at that time that 4-year-old Xu Yong saw the man for the first time.

Because he was born in a basketball family, he knew basketball much earlier than his peers, so when his parents held him to watch the game, the braised egg was already deeply imprinted in his mind.

When he was a little older, when Jordan announced "I.am. back," watching the Bulls play became the greatest joy of his childhood.

And as he spent more time watching, he found that Jordan played differently than everyone else.

Others play that is called a struggle, in order to score a goal to do their best, but Jordan can easily score points in a leisurely stroll, can shake the opponent around, and the back singles are even more handsome.

It turns out that basketball can be played like this!

This was Xu Yong's truest thought, and the next thought that led to this thought was that I would also play like him.

Although it was a childish idea from an adult's point of view, it was the truest thought of him, or many children of his size in that era, naïve, but beautiful.

He began to put Jordan's posters in his room, trying to get newspapers and magazines related to Jordan by all means.

Then as he got to know Jordan more and more, he got to know more and more about the man.

It turned out that Jordan was not successful at the beginning, and it took him 6 years to win his first championship, and those 6 years were also 6 years of perseverance, progress, and transformation;

It turned out that even if he was as strong as Jordan, he couldn't win alone, he learned the team in college, and only began to build his own dynasty after waiting for his Pippen to grow and take the initiative to give up the ball;

It turns out that there are too many unknown things behind Jordan's success, the harshness of his teammates and the more demanding self-requirements than his teammates, the "breakfast club" that Barkley has tried once, and the flu battle that persists even with a high fever......

It was also after really getting to know Jordan, not just Jordan's skills, that Jordan became his idol.

So after being reborn, he trained hard, valued his teammates, and no matter what he said to his teammates, he had to do it himself, because that was the biggest influence that Jordan's idol brought him.

So when he saw Jordan sitting in the audience, just a dozen meters away from him, you asked him how he felt.

His feeling was that his heart was racing and he couldn't breathe!

If it weren't for this occasion, he would have excitedly gone up to say hello for autographs and group photos.

But when he realized the situation he was in, his excitement quickly turned into endless motivation.

What could be more meaningful than playing a good game in front of your idol?!

That's right, that's it!

After taking a deep breath, Xu Yong's eyes burst out with the strongest longing since his rebirth.

Jordan, of course, didn't notice Xu Yong.

After greeting the crowd, he set his sights on the North Carolina half.

Looking at the familiar group of guys from last year, and seeing them more mature, he was immediately relieved.

Today, after 6 years, he is wearing that pair of North Carolina shorts that represents luck, these young men must not let him down!

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The starters on both sides have also been released.

North Carolina Tar Heel Team: 1.8 meters point guard No. 5 Ty Lawson, 1.93 meters quarterback No. 22 Wayne Ellington, 1.96 meters small forward No. 14 Danny Green, 2.03 meters power forward No. 21 Dean Thompson, 2.06 meters center No. 50 Tyler Hansbrough.

Arizonada State Devils: Harden, DeRozan, Cooks, Seo, Ayers.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Hansbrough and Ayers came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Ayers struggled to get the ball back into Harden's hands, and the Devils had a chance to take the lead.

After advancing to the frontcourt, the Devils began to play UCLA's pick-and-roll tactics.

However, after a set of tactics, they didn't get any good shots.

The defense of the University of North Carolina is even better than that of Michigan State!

It's easy to overlook because of their offensive talent, but the truth is that they do do a tight job on the defensive end with great talent and a great sense of understanding.

The ball finally fell into DeRozan's hands, and there was not much time left for the attack, and he forced his shot to the basket and missed the basket, and the rebound was protected by Hansbrough.

And their defensive counterattack was very fast, here Hansbrough picked up the rebound and handed it to Lawson, and in an instant the entire offensive formation had been pressed to the frontcourt.

If it weren't for the UCLA games that played with Lefu and Wei Shao last year, this counterattack speed would have formed a direct score.

Because Lawson's speed is simply too fast, and when he kicks his legs, it is like a bullet that is fired.

However, even if they didn't get a direct opportunity to break quickly, the positional battle of the Tar Heel team was very fast.

Thompson made a high block, Lawson hit the waist and killed it, and suddenly attracted half of the pinch and quickly distributed the ball to Dean Thompson, who cut in.

Lawson is only 1.8 meters tall, shorter than Paul, but in history he is the No. 18 pick in '09, he is not only a quick change of direction and breakthrough, but also a very good sense of the big picture.

Thompson got an easy chance to score after receiving the ball, and he didn't hesitate to choose a close-range throw, which the tar heel team pulled ......

Wait a minute!

At the moment when Thompson made a move, a figure made a preemptive move, and a "poof" took off from behind him.

"Bang!"

Before the basketball reaches its highest point, press the ball directly on the rebound.

There was a burst of amazement at the scene.

A big hat from Xu Yong's chasing pegboard!

Before Thompson could react, Xu Yong had already picked up the rebound, and the Devils pushed the defense to counterattack, and the frontcourt was three to two.

Harden's layup was picked up by Lawson with a return hand, and although the ball was not lost, the shot slid out of the basket.

Ellington was about to jump up and pick up a defensive rebound when he saw the landing, but he immediately felt a huge dark cloud hanging directly over his head.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong, who followed up, directly completed the deduction!

The exclamations turned into cheers, from pegboard hats to fast-break dunks, Xu Yong's enthusiasm tonight looked higher than in any previous game!

The Tar Heels responded immediately, with Ellington and Hansbrough taking the ball from beyond the three-point line after a pick-and-roll.

"Huh!"

The basketball goes straight into the net.

The cheers continued, but this time it was the North Carolina fans.

The outside firepower of the Tar Heels team was already ferocious, and their opening hands seemed to be very hot just now.

The Devils advance to the frontcourt and play a pick-and-roll tactic.

But this time, when Harden passed, Lawson suddenly made a lightning shot to complete the steal.

In addition to scoring and playmaking, Lawson also has a strong spot in steals, averaging 2.1 per game this season. [Note 7]

This can also be seen in the last round when he pulled out Harden's ball, whether it is consciousness or speed, it definitely belongs to the "ghost hand" level.

Lawson made a steal and quickly threw the ball to Thompson on the outside, who dribbled the ball and flew down.

Xu Yong chased after him from the other side.

Thompson was on the far side, but he wasn't very fast with the ball.

So after Thompson hit the frontcourt, Xu Yong had already chased after him from the other side.

Two people, one left and one right, converge under the basket.

Thompson riveted his strength this time, in front of Xu Yong did not talk about martial arts to engage in sneak attacks, can he still put his hat on the front?

What an international joke about rabbits joining NATO!

He quickly jumped first.

But soon, he saw what had happened behind his back in the previous round.

Xu Yong was like a spring man, and he flew over him with a "poof".

His pupils dilated instantly, an instinctive reaction to the intense attack of danger.

But his layup action has gone out, and he can't get it back if he wants to, so he can only stretch out his non-shooting hand to push Xu Yong.

But he soon found that it didn't work, because he couldn't push Xu Yong at all, even if Xu Yong was already in the air.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong scored twice, and once again fanned Thompson's shot to the rebound!

Only this time because it was covered sideways, the ball rebounded after the rebound.

At this time, Ellington's follow-up got an offensive rebound, and the throw was a close-range throw.

But the moment he made the shot, his eyes became as frightened as Thompson's.

Because Xu Yong, who had just covered Thompson in the last second, turned around and turned towards him the next second.

You're a feline, aren't you?

"Bang!"

Xu Yong turned around in the air and made a block and flew the fan out of the .gif outside the court!

The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.

it, this young man!

Jordan was also stunned.

This young man is not bad at bouncing, huh?

Well, the number 23 jersey was not worn in vain.

But he probably didn't expect that this young man's excited state was stimulated by his arrival!
