[89] Main defense Ginobili, the most difficult battle in the group stage, 20 minutes of Jordan deserved his name!

On August 19th, as the Yadian Olympic Games entered the 6th day of competition, gold medals in various sports also emerged one after another.

There are constantly new historical records, and there are also touching deeds of counterattacking to win the championship and becoming famous.

19-year-old Michael Phelps is undoubtedly the brightest athlete at the Games, with four gold medals to his name......

The Celestial Empire delegation has won 10 gold medals in the first shooting, diving, weightlifting and judo events, and Guo Jingjing and Tian Liang easily won the women's 3-meter board and men's 10-meter platform, and the name of the Chinese diving dream team is well deserved.

Lin Fei also sent congratulatory text messages to Guo Jingjing, Tian Liang and others, and the journey of himself and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team continued.

August 19 at 8 p.m.

Lin Fei and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team ushered in Group A, another top team in the world basketball after Spain.

Naturally, it was the Blue and White Legion led by Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola who was suspended.

As a traverser, Lin Fei naturally knows better than the people around him now what a miraculous achievement the Agenstop men's basketball team has made in the 04 Yadian Olympics.

Lin Fei remembered that in the original world, the Celestial Empire delegation won a total of 32 gold medals in the 04 Olympic Games, while the Agen team only won two gold medals, namely the men's basketball team and the men's football team.

Although it cannot be said that the two gold medals are worth the 32 medals of the Celestial Empire, the two Olympic gold medals in men's basketball and men's football are absolutely more influential than any other Olympic sports.

For Lin Fei, this group stage with Agen is bound to be much more difficult than the first game against Spain.

In the pre-game warm-up, Ginobili and Da Yao also exchanged a few words enthusiastically on the sidelines, and Lin Fei, who was shooting on the court, also waved hello to each other.

Although after Lin Fei came out in the playoffs, he only played less than 10 games with the Lakers and Pistons,

But after all, in his rookie season, he traveled with the Timberwolves to the north and south, even if he didn't have any playing time, but before and after the game, he also had some exchanges and acquaintances with many international players who were also foreigners.

Therefore, Lin Fei, Ginobili and Nowitzki, these international players, have long been no strangers.

As early as after Lin Fei helped the Timberwolves win the championship in the finals, Ginobili also publicly congratulated him on social media, and claimed that he was looking forward to competing with the Celestial Empire led by Lin Fei Dayao in the Olympics.

Zhu Fangyu always followed Lin Fei and continued to tirelessly study the details of his shooting.

"Lin Fei, who do you say is more difficult to fight? We all won the first game by 16 points, as long as we play normally tonight, it shouldn't be too difficult to win Agen, right? ”

Facing Zhu Fangyu's naΓ―ve words, Lin Fei smiled and said: "Lao Zhu, you are too floating, Xibanya and Agenzhu can easily win, so except for the United States, aren't we the second in the world?" ”

"Besides, now there must be at least 6 NBA-level players in this Argen team, do you say horror or not?"

Zhu Fangyu's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned to look at the Agen players in the opponent's half, and said in surprise:

"Six NBA-caliber players? How can it be? Isn't there just one Ginobili? ”

At the point of the 04 Yadian Olympics, Ginobili was indeed the only one in the national team who played in the NBA, and he only played for two seasons.

Having a similar situation with the Celestial Basketball Association, coupled with all kinds of obstruction in the European League, it is not easy for Argen players to think of playing in the NBA.

"Luis Scola was a second-round pick in 2002, right? Although you haven't landed in the NBA yet, but you don't have enough strength to be selected? ”

"And Carlos Delfino, like me, was a rookie in '03, and he was a 25th pick in the first round, and he will land in the NBA to play for the Pistons in the new season!"

Zhu Fangyu nodded and said: "These two players are indeed very strong, they must be counted as NBA level, but there are only three of them?" ”

Lin Fei continued to laugh, for a traverser, this question was completely an open-book exam:

"Fabrizio Oberto, Walter Herman, Andres Nocioni, these three players will definitely go to the NBA to play next, isn't that six?"

Looking at Zhu Fangyu's obviously disbelieving expression, Lin Fei smiled: "What? Not convinced? Why don't we make a bet? ”

Zhu Fangyu naturally didn't believe it, how could it be that the three players were all said by Lin Fei:

"Bet on what?"

Lin Fei stood at a 0-degree angle on the left side at this time, easily put the basketball in his hand into the basket, and thought for a while:

"If I guess it, these three players have all gone to the NBA to play in 3 seasons, as long as they get NBA contracts, this is a loss!"

"If you lose, you have to promise me one thing unconditionally, as for what, I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it then!"

Zhu Fangyu obviously didn't think he would speak, so he nodded confidently and said, "Okay, Lin Fei, then you will lose this time!" ”

The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and under the signal of the referee, the game officially began.

The starters of both teams all took to the pitch.

The starting five Tigers on the side of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team are:

Point Guard (PG): Liu Wei,

Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Zhu Fangyu,

Power Forward (PF): Roughly,

Center (C): Da Yao.

In order to match the strength of Argen's starter and grab a good start, Del Harris promoted Lin Fei to the starting line tonight, and let the veteran Li Nan play as a substitute.

For this reason, Li Nan naturally has no complaints, as the so-called capable people work hard, Lin Fei hit a total of 15 three-pointers in the first two group games, and scored 56 points.

The starting five Tigers on the side of the Argen men's basketball team are:

Point Guard (PG): Pabello Prigioni.

Shooting Guard (SG): Manu Ginobili,

Small Forward (SF): Carlos Delfino,

Power Forward (PF): Luis Scola,

Center forward (C): Fabrizio Oberto.

Lin Fei has always been very respectful of the original world 04 Argent men's basketball team defeating the United States Dream Six to win the championship, and Ginobili won the only MVP trophy in the history of the Olympic men's basketball team.

At this time, standing on the court and facing the "golden generation" who also wore the blue and white jersey of the Agenzu national flag, Lin Fei was not surprised why they were able to defeat the United States.

Except for Prigioni, the other four are all NBA-level players.

The substitutes Herman, Nocioni and others are also forward players who are about to land in the NBA.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all 12 members of the "Golden Generation" of the Argen men's basketball team have the ability to play as a substitute in the NBA.

With such a terrifying squad and two internal and external cores of Ginobili and Scola, it is not surprising that such a men's national basketball team can beat the United States Dream Six.

"Beep!"

Da Yao picked up the basketball above Oberto's head, Liu Wei advanced with the ball, and the Tianchao men's basketball team took the lead in the opening game.

"Audience friends, audience friends, this is the five sets of the Heavenly Empire, I am the host Yu Jia, and the one sitting next to me is Director Zhang!"

"What we are seeing now is the third round of the men's basketball group stage of the Yadian Olympics, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team is suspended against Agen!"

"The one wearing the red jersey on the court is our Celestial Empire team, and the white one is the Agen Suspension team!"

With the two consecutive wins of the group stage of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, Zhang's guidance, the former men's basketball player, is also becoming more and more elated, even if Yang Ma does not give money, she is willing to explain every game between Lin Fei and the men's basketball team.

But tonight in the face of Agen, the start of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team was obviously not smooth.

"Oops, Liu Wei's pass is too risky, and he was directly intercepted by Ginobili,"

"Lin Fei's return speed was fast, but he still let Ginobili score two points with a layup!"

"Ginobili's European step is really amazing, and it is obviously a notch stronger than Navarro of the Spanish team!"

"It seems that tonight against Ginobili, the pressure on Lin Fei's defense will inevitably be greater!"

"Oops, Da Yao didn't hold the ball under the basket, and was directly slapped to the ground by Scola, and Agen stopped and launched a quick counterattack!"

"Ginobili borrowed a cover from Oberto at the top of the front court, ran back and shook off Lin Fei, received a pass from point guard Prigioni, and made a decisive three-point shot at a 45-degree angle on the left!"

"Yes, Ginobili came up and scored 5 points in a row, it seems that our Celestial Empire men's basketball team is not well prepared, Coach Harris should call a timeout quickly, it's terrible to go on like this!"

Because of the time difference, the game started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the time in the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

But even so, it still can't stop the enthusiastic fans from staying up late to watch the game.

Some fans set their alarm clocks half an hour in advance, only to find that they simply don't need them because they can't sleep because they're so excited.

There are also some male fans who made a table of snacks at home in advance, called a few fans and friends together, and chatted while drinking, looking forward to the start of the game.

Because it happened to be the weekend, the business of the bar night was also the most prosperous, and most of the bars played this much-anticipated men's basketball Olympic focus game.

This year's Celestial Empire men's basketball team has attracted the attention of the Chinese people, and it is believed that there is a chance to break history and reach the semifinals, and even impact a men's basketball medal.

After the 16-point victory over the strong team Xibanya in the first game, the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans is even higher.

Lin Fei, who hit a total of 15 three-pointers and scored 56 points in the first two stops, took advantage of the craze of the NBA Finals that has not yet faded, and the popularity among the fans of the Celestial Empire is self-evident.

At present, whether it is Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey in the Timberwolves or his No. 9 jersey in the national team, sales are very hot, and pirated jerseys are emerging in an endless stream all over the country.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Ningbo City.

At 2 a.m., a bar called HEAT in Binhai, Beilun District, was overcrowded, with bright magnesium lights, heavy metal music beating on the soul, and men and women wandering.

On the huge big screen, the men's basketball team VS Argen stop game of the five sets of the Celestial Dynasty is being played at this time.

"Boss Liu in Box No. 3, spend 13,000 yuan tonight, I wish Boss Liu a prosperous business and a lot of money!"

The voice of the host shouting microphone was loud and deafening.

At this time, in the No. 3 box of the bar, a middle-aged man who had been drinking for more than 30 years had already drunk a big mouth, surrounded by six or seven bar escort girls, looking at Lin Fei's figure running on the court on the TV screen, and couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

It turned out that this middle-aged man with Liu sex has always been the small owner of a garment workshop in Ningbo, and a few years ago because of poor management, he lost nearly 1.2 million, the house was auctioned, and his daughter-in-law also ran away with her children.

When he was desperate, Boss Liu, who was originally an NBA fan, also seized the business opportunity and privately printed a pirated version of the Timberwolves No. 22 Lin Fei jersey, which turned into a profit in less than a month, not only paying off his debts, but also a steady stream of new orders.

"Lin Fei is my savior, woo, if the Celestial Empire men's basketball team wins tonight, I will reward you with 3,000 red envelopes each!"

Five or six sexy-dressed escort girls were suddenly overjoyed, and even though they didn't pay attention to basketball, they still shouted excitedly with the boss:

"The Celestial Empire will win, the Celestial Empire will win!"

"Lin Fei, Lin Fei, you are the best, you come to shoot, I will make waves!"

Eyes return to the Olympic Basketball Stadium.

Ginobili came up and scored five points in a row, catching the Celestial Empire men's basketball team off guard, and Del Harris quickly called a long timeout.

Celestial Empire (0) :(5) Agen stops.

Judging from the opening situation, it was difficult for Lin Fei to guard against Ginobili.

The age of 27 is the prime of a player, and Ginobili has reached the peak of his personal form.

Lin Fei had actually watched a lot of Ginobili's game videos before the game, this guy can switch freely between with and without the ball, and he doesn't lose himself in terms of running without the ball and the ability to cover.

In Lin Fei's view, in this Olympic Games, as the team's first reliance on the backline, Ginobili is likely to be the biggest test.

Even compared to Iverson Marbury in the Mi Dream Six camp, Ginobili is the most difficult to defend.

After all, Iverson and Marbury play more with the ball and are not excellent without the ball, while Ginobili is completely different.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth, no matter how difficult it is, if he doesn't get on, he will count on Liu Wei and Li Nan, and even the veterans Guo Shiqiang and Zhang Jinsong on the bench, it will be even worse!

After winning two consecutive Olympic group games, Lin Fei also received a total of 220 free attribute rewards from the system, which shows that the Olympic men's basketball game is not as rewarding as the NBA finals.

Adding these 220 free attributes to the defensive attribute again, the defensive attribute of 68 points has only increased by 1 point to 69 points, and the steal individual has reached 80 points.

If this can't prevent Ginobili, it can only mean that this year's Olympic Games is destined to be a battle for the gods of Ginobili.

Each team can only call a maximum of 5 timeouts in a FIBA game, and Del Harris wasted a timeout in the first minute.

It shows that tonight, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team lost in the opening technique and tactics, and Agen stopped.

"We have to control our mistakes and not give Agen a chance to fight back easily!"

"Lin, playing against Ginobili will inevitably put more pressure on you, put your mentality, control the fouls, and don't affect the state of the offensive end because of defense!"

Lin Fei nodded seriously, and at the same time actively encouraged his teammates.

After a pause, the Celestial Empire team attacked.

Lin Fei continued to cover the running position in the front court, but Ginobili was always chasing after him and was inseparable.

Whether it's a top arc screen with a center or a cross screen with a defender, it's hard to get enough distance away from Ginobili.

That's what's terrible about Ginobili, in him, Lin Fei seems to see Hamilton chasing himself in the finals.

"Lin, I'm not going to let you hit more three-pointers than I do tonight, this is the Olympics, you don't have Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassel by your side!"

At this time, Ginobili still had long flowing hair and looked quite handsome.

In the face of Ginobili's friendly provocation, Lin Fei also smiled politely and replied with a few words, neither humble nor arrogant:

"Manu, it's already my honor to let you rack your brains so hard to defend against me!"

"But Argen is not a Spurs either, and you don't have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker by your side right now!"

Lin Fei couldn't find a chance to catch the ball here, so Da Yao could only attack under the basket and hit the iron with Oberto's turnover hook.

"Bang dang!"

Although Oberto is only 2.08 meters tall, he has strong upper body strength and steady defensive footwork, which will make his lower game difficult when defending against Da Yao, similar to Boozer in the Jazz period later.

Standing on the sidelines, Argent coach Martino, with curly hair similar to Maradona, thought Oberto's strategy of defending Dayao in the low post tonight was clearly successful.

"Smack!"

Da Yao didn't have this hook, the rebound was rolled over and grabbed by Oberto, and Agen stopped converting the offense.

Lin Fei was chasing Ginobili at all times in the retreat defense, but Delfino, who was also a swingman of the guard, took the ball and singled Zhu Fangyu, and hit a stop-and-go jump shot in a breakthrough in the high position.

"Huh!"

7:0。

The inexperienced Zhu Fangyu was completely thrown off by Delfino, and the Tianchao men's basketball team had no advantage at all in the position of the starting small forward.

At the critical moment, he had to rely on the inside twin towers, roughly receiving the ball with his back in the shaft area, withstanding Scola's continuous back-to-back footsteps, and his turn-over jumper with the advantage of height and arm span was very decisive.

"Bang dang!"

But the ball was still a little worse on the crosshairs, the iron popped up, and Da Yao under the basket roared, grabbed the rebound on Oberto's head, and completed the vigorous dunk on the second jump.

"Boom!"

Celestial Empire (2) :(7) Agen stops.

The scoring drought was finally broken after more than two minutes of the opening period.

Da Yao, who completed the dunk, also shouted to his teammates in the return defense: "Give me the spirit!" ”

Agen stopped attacking.

Ginobili beckoned to Prigioni for the ball from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, facing Lin Fei head-on, obviously to hold the ball alone.

Lin Fei opened a step away from Ginobili, bent down and spread his legs, stretched out his right arm to probe, and his defensive energy was highly concentrated.

Hassell's little tricks when defending the ball carrier were running through Lin Fei's mind at this time.

"Whoosh!"

After a shoulder shake feint, Ginobili suddenly lowered his center of gravity and broke through to Lin Fei's left side.

Although the start of this first step was not very fast, the pace was very large, and the center of gravity was also very low, and at the moment when Lin Fei quickly slid up to block it, Ginobili immediately changed direction with a crotch dribble, and he passed half of Lin Fei's body in an instant when he walked to the right side.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "Demon Knife" has the most incredible center of gravity, at least in the eyes of Lin Fei at this moment, Ginobili's nearly 180-degree change of direction is really terrifying.

By the time Lin Fei came back sideways and quickly interfered, Ginobili had already dribbled with his left hand and accelerated into the penalty area, and now he had completely shaken off Lin Fei.

FIBA didn't defend for three seconds, seeing that Da Yao was in the middle of the basket at this time, Ginobili was not flustered, and took advantage of the moment when Da Yao stepped on a step to hit the ball to Oberto behind him.

"Bang!"

The rotation of hitting the earth is very large, Oberto didn't catch the ball for the first time, and when he got it steady, he jumped up to dunk, and Da Yao had already turned over and jumped up for the first time and gave a big hat.

"Smack!"

Da Yao's big hat was very morale-boosting, but the basketball that rebounded from the tempered rebound was picked up by the elusive Ginobili for the first time.

Lin Fei also quickly defended up, and did not give Ginobili a chance to shoot easily.

"Whoosh!"

Ginobili didn't stick the ball in his hand, quickly returned to Scola in the high post on the right side, and then almost continuously with the help of the cover of roughly two people with Scola, he shook off Lin Fei and went straight to the right side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.

The serpentine running position of the "Demon Knife" is really elusive, and the eyes and angles of finding cover are also quite keen, which makes him roughly an accomplice.

Lin Fei chased very tightly, but he still almost collided with the roughly, and when he pounced again, Ginobili on the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side had already received Scola's return pass and jumped out decisively.

"Huh!"

The basketball flew over Lin Fei's head, and the hollow entered the net again.

Ginobili in the retreat was in a good mood, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and he raised two fingers at Lin Fei with a smile:

"Lin, I'm already two three-pointers, if you don't catch up quickly, you won't have a chance!"

Lin Fei clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze became sharp:

"The game has just begun, Manu, don't be too happy, what if I let you two first?"

Although he had a hard mouth, Lin Fei couldn't help but admit that Ginobili's technique was too comprehensive.

Able to switch freely between with and without the ball, breaking through sharp, fast running, ghostly passing, and accurate three-point shooting,

Ginobili, the pinnacle of this period, is indeed a stronger scoring guard than Hamilton of the Pistons, and Jordan in 20 minutes is worthy of his name!

If it were the Timberwolves, the task of defending Ginobili would naturally be to get the "madman" or Hassel on board.

When the new season arrives at the Miami Heat, when encountering the Spurs, the person who defends Ginobili should naturally be Wade or Eddie Jones.

But now it is the Olympic group stage of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team facing Agen, and even if Lin Fei's 69-point defensive attribute is not enough, he must be hard-headed.

"Ginobili started tonight really fiercely, scoring 8 points in a row on 3 shots, it seems that the last game of crooked body pressure whistle to kill Serbia and Montenegro gave him a stronger self-confidence!"

Director Zhang's commentary was inevitably a little worried, tonight's Ginobili was undoubtedly the first sufferer Lin Fei encountered in this Olympic Games.

The Celestial Empire team attacked.

Lin Fei and Da Yao carried out a ball blocking and dismantling cover at the top of the arc, accelerating and running quickly and sharply, but still couldn't shake off Ginobili and successfully received the ball.

Ginobili obviously has more experience defending off-ball players like Lin Fei, and he has learned enough lessons in the NBA against Ray Allen or Reggie Miller.

Ginobili not only has a high ball quotient, but also his 100-meter speed has also run within 11 seconds, and Lin Fei's current 100-meter speed has also increased to 11.05 seconds, but he is defeated in front of the "Demon Knife".

Fast speed, flexible body, smart play, and excellent arm span of 2.06 meters give Ginobili a big advantage when defending Lin Fei.

It can't be said that Ginobili is faster and better than Hamilton when chasing Lin Fei, and the Pistons also need to change their defenses infinitely during the Finals.

But on the side of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, whether it is Da Yao or Rough, or Liu Wei and Hu Xuefeng on the point guard, they cannot reach the level of the Timberwolves' main force to cover and pass the ball to Lin Fei.

Ginobili's pursuit and defense are the top in history, much better than Navarro of Spain, and the Agen's coaching staff also attaches much more importance to Lin Fei's defense than Spain.

Under the advantages of the other, it caused Lin Fei to face the embarrassing situation that it was difficult for Ginobili to catch the ball tonight.

Fortunately, Da Yao did not hesitate, and in the face of Oberto in the high position, he directly raised his hand to make a long two-point shot and hit it steadily.

"Huh!"

Celestial Empire (4) :(10) Agen stops.

Back on the defensive end.

This time, Lin Fei faced Ginobili who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and deliberately let go of the two-step distance to pinch Ginobili's breakthrough.

After all, the defensive value is there, and in the face of a first-class quarterback like Ginobili, it is impossible to cover everything, and the main defense can only be the same, otherwise it will be a lose-lose.

Ginobili saw that Lin Fei couldn't let go of his shot, maybe it was because of his hand, and he directly started to shoot a three-point shot at the top of the arc again after a breakthrough.

Lin Fei judged Ginobili's intentions accurately, and quickly pounced on him to seal his eyes.

"Bang dang!"

No matter how accurate Ginobili is, he can't match his three-point shooting percentage, and after hitting two in a row, the third one pops up.

"Smack!"

The long rebound was grabbed roughly here, and seeing that Liu Wei was not good at receiving the ball, he directly turned over and threw off Scola to dribble quickly.

"Whoosh!"

In the general fast attack, it seems that he has a long eye in the back of his head, and he changed hands in advance to avoid the ball of Scola behind him, stepping over the middle line and hitting the front court, and the former wind-chasing boy seems to be back.

Although the big center's dribble fast attack is not aesthetically pleasing, it is also really fast, and the 2.14-meter-tall 100-meter sprint can run into 12.4 seconds, which must be terrifying.

Seeing that he was roughly at the front, and Scola was also thrown away, Ginobili didn't have time to think about it, so he could only let go of Lin Fei and rushed up to try to pull out the ball and make offensive fouls.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei saw that Ginobili had run, and in an instant, he was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, accelerating straight to the left 30-degree angle of the front court, and it was too late for Prigioni, who let go of Liu Wei, to make up for it.

With a general flash of his eyes, he quickly passed the ball diagonally in the direction of Lin Fei's running position here.

The ball was a little too big, Lin Fei took a big step forward along the three-point line on the left side of the front court to receive the ball, and he didn't have time to unload the inertia, so he directly tilted his body and jumped, and he made a floating shot to chase three points.

The moment the basketball flew out from Lin Fei's fingertips, the substitute players on the bench on the sidelines,

Li Nan, Hu Xuefeng, UAE Lian, Du Feng, Daba, Guo Shiqiang and others all jumped up with towels for the first time, ready to celebrate and wave.

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded suddenly, and after landing elegantly, Lin Fei also waved his arm fiercely, and shouted at Ginobili, who retreated to the restricted area but tried in vain:

"Manu, I'm going to catch up! Just ask if you are in a panic! ”
