[95] Wade's bizarre hat-chasing assist? Lin Fei's three-point shot is a whistle shot!
Celestial Empire (73) :(67) Rice Kingdom.
But even if the lead reached 6 points, the majority of fans at home and abroad were also nervous at this time, and their hearts were in their throats.
After all, now the opposite side is the powerful United States Dream Six, even if they lost two games in the group stage, no fan dares to doubt the terrifying strength of this team.
Da Yao was still clutching his chest after the free throw, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously hit by LeBron James.
Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy James is really too strong.
You must know that James in his rookie period weighed 110 kilograms before weight gain, which is equivalent to 250 pounds, which is a more solid weight than many big centers.
By the time James was a 2.0 knight, his weight was already as high as 128 kilograms, which was also the peak of the little emperor's personal strength.
Del Harris quickly replaced Da Yao with a bus and asked the team doctor to check Da Yao's chest.
If you have a broken rib, it's a big problem and you can't continue the game.
Tonight, Da Yao played almost the first three quarters, and only rested for 1 minute in total, which was really too tired.
But Harris can't do anything, if he wants to stabilize the score and not be overtaken by the United States, he has always been frightened and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Olympic semifinals of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and the United States men's basketball team have attracted enthusiastic attention from fans all over the world.
Not only did more than 100 million fans stay up late to watch the live broadcast in China, but tens of millions of people also watched in the United States.
European countries are in prime time, and there are more than 100 million fans watching the live broadcast of the game, including millions of overseas Chinese and Chinese in the Celestial Empire.
There are also hundreds of overseas Chinese in Xila who came to the Yadian Olympic Basketball Stadium tonight to watch this key battle.
It is a pride to be able to see my country's basketball team play in a foreign country, and it is also a semi-final against the United States at the Olympics.
"Da Yao, don't have anything, without him, our Celestial Empire men's basketball team will lose the last insurance in the forbidden area!"
"This James is really strong, and he deserves to be called the strongest champion in the past ten years!"
"There are still more than 9 points of time, and the advantage of 6 points is not safe, we must play steadily and steadily, and actively focus on every joint defense!"
"Although Lin Fei scored 18 points in the first half, he was strangled to death in the third quarter, and in this last quarter, it is time for him to break out, right?"
"Yes, Lin Fei's three points are not open, it is really difficult for us to resist the crazy counterattack of the United States team in the last quarter!"
"To be honest, these two Greek referees tonight are really good, and the whistle is in our favor!"
"Haha, the last game with Greece owed us too much, and the Olympic men's basketball referee team found out in conscience, this one was made up for in the United States?"
on the pitch.
Sure enough, Da Yao was examined by the team doctor on the sidelines, and Iverson relied on his personal ability to directly pass Lin Fei and rush to the basket, and the difficult layup caused the shooting fighter of the bus to foul.
The basketball bounced a few times on the basket and steadied it into the net.
"Huh!"
"Beep!"
2+1。
Seeing that the bus was beaten by Iverson as soon as he came on the field, Lin Fei couldn't help frowning, the defensive ability and enthusiasm of the bus could not be roughly compared with Da Yao.
"Huh!"
Iverson, who walked to the free throw line, also hit a free throw, and the United States team quickly chased the difference to 3 points.
Da Yao, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt that the pain in his chest had eased a lot, and hurriedly stood up, ready to play at the next dead ball time.
After the examination of the team doctor, Da Yao's chest did not have a rib fracture, but he was hit a little hard by James, and he was angry for a while, and he could continue to play.
Del Harris had a solemn face, reached out and pressed Da Yao's shoulder and said, "Yao, you have to rest for at least two minutes before you go up, and you have to trust your teammates!" ”
Da Yao gritted his teeth and nodded, quickly sat down to rest, but his eyes kept looking at the situation on the field.
The Celestial Empire team attacked, and Liu Wei steadily dribbled forward.
After being teased and bleeding from his nose at the beginning of tonight, Liu Weiren also seemed to be in good spirits, brave after being ashamed, and no longer had the slightest timidity and nervousness in front of the stars of the United States.
With his body tough to push through Marbury's pressing, Liu Wei's crotch changed backwards with the help of a cover raised by Lin Fei, quickly bypassed the defense, and gave the ball to the high post with his back to resist Boozer's rough.
Boozer's defense was tough, the general bottom of the top was very uncomfortable, the knee against the general leg did not allow him to turn easily, and at the same time, the small movements of his hands continued.
Roughly trying to confuse Boozer with continuous counterbumps and back-to-back footsteps, in terms of footwork and technical delicacy, he is generally significantly better than Da Yao, but he does not have an advantage in physical talent.
But Boozer is also very old and spicy, and he has long figured out the general offensive routine for most of the half, and under the defense of local conditions, he only scored 2 points in the entire third quarter.
Lin Fei suddenly ran back against Iverson at this time, in fact, there was a chance at this time, but the general ball did not dare to risk passing.
borrowed a rough ball-holding cover from the high post on the right side, Lin Fei rushed straight to the right 0-degree angle, this time Iverson chased very tightly, bypassed the rough in advance, and the speed was faster.
Philip Saunders' defensive tactics about Lin Fei in the final quarter were all seen in the cover without changing the defense, directly chasing around the cover, or holding the ball inside.
Because it is obvious that the offensive core of the Celestial Empire team in the second half falls on the twin towers, Lin Fei plays more of a role in using running positions to involve defense.
The opportunity didn't come out this time, so I could only choose to turn over and shoot after a false step, and the basketball hit the iron.
"Bang dang!"
The two Spurs teammates, Big Basket and Duncan, collided together for a rebound.
During his time with the Spurs, the bus simulated O'Neal for a long time to be used as a sparring partner for Duncan, and he also had a full understanding of Duncan's technical characteristics.
This time tonight, the bus was also significantly more active in the fight for this rebound, and coupled with his stronger body, he got a key offensive rebound against Duncan.
"Smack!"
However, the bus technology was too rough, and Duncan reached out to his side and directly slapped the basketball in the hands of the bus.
The two stooped over and hurriedly fought for the ball, falling to the ground and tangling with each other.
Duncan, with his better physical flexibility and flexibility, took the lead in the bus and quickly distributed the ball to Boozer, who was lying on the ground and quickly distributed the ball.
Marbury wanted to get rid of Liu Wei and receive Boozer's pass quickly, but Liu Wei gritted his teeth and chased the defense very actively, and did not give Marbury a chance to receive the ball easily.
Marbury flashed again, Boozer didn't look at it directly, and when his eyes turned to see that Iverson, who was about to be fast, he was also being chased by Lin Fei, so he didn't choose to pass the ball, and directly changed direction in front of his body, throwing off the quick attack under the roughly dribble.
Roughly chasing Boozer, one of the sideways tried to pull out the ball, causing Boozer to smash the basketball directly on the surface of his feet and roll out when he dodged.
"Whoosh!"
Roughly without any hesitation, the tall body jumped directly into the dragon gate and flew towards the basketball that rolled towards the middle line.
"Bang!"
The roughly two-handed hands that fell heavily to the ground gripped the basketball tightly, and Boozer's side followed up and bent over to scramble.
The referee did not blow the whistle, at this time Lin Fei just chased the fast Iverson to the middle line, and the save that fell to the ground was roughly at his feet.
At the last moment, Lin Fei quickly stopped and turned around, and roughly roared, and passed the ball out with difficulty in the scramble of Boozer.
This is almost a rolling earth, Lin Fei stepped forward and bent down to pick up the basketball, completely standing in the middle line, taking advantage of the chaos without stopping, he jumped up sharply after getting up, and made a decisive shot at half court with three points.
Iverson's side quickly turned over and pounced, but he still suffered a loss in height.
The basketball crossed the air at a height of 14 meters, and under the horrified eyes of the players of both teams, it was impartial and went straight to the net.
"Huh!"
Sixth.
As Lin Fei hit his sixth three-pointer tonight, his score also came to 23 points.
It's still the highest in the game.
Although there were a few Celestial Empire fans at the scene, the cheers at this time were one after another, high-pitched and powerful.
Because many fans in Europe and Greece have gradually begun to defect and support the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
So far in tonight's game, the United States team has not shown the strength and demeanor of their world basketball hegemon, but the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has to defeat the United States in unity and hard work and high morale.
More relatively neutral foreign fans have begun to turn to support the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
Da Yao, who was sitting on the sidelines, also followed his teammates on the bench, jumped up and shouted with his fists to boost morale.
For Lin Fei's three-point shot, but also for the bus and roughly actively scramble.
Marbury was obviously dissatisfied with Boozer's choice to dribble fast on his own, and rushed directly to scold him:
"Are you a defender? Dribble fast on your own? Why didn't you pass it on to me and Aaron as soon as possible? ”
Although the co-captains of this year's Dream Six are Iverson and Duncan, Marbury is also an NBA veteran of the same period as the two captains, and he naturally doesn't need to worry about scolding a junior who has only played in the NBA for two years.
Boozer ignored Marbury with a cold face, resisted the urge to scold the other party, but was equally dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly said that he didn't have enough of the ball tonight?
Marbury really didn't play well tonight, under the tight joint defense strategy of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, he only scored 7 points on 3-of-11 shooting.
Philip Saunders originally considered replacing Marbury with Wade in the last quarter, but Marbury is a very important star in this team of the United States after all.
For the sake of unnecessary conflict, for the sake of safety, it was still chosen to let Marbury continue to partner Iverson.
This is also the disadvantage of the United States Dream Six on seniority, which is like an NBA game, no matter how good the backup guard is, he still has to be the main star at the key decisive moment.
Boozer is also a proud man, and he also has a special identity in this Mi Dream Six, that is, the only white player.
For Iverson and Duncan, Boozer is still convinced, but for Marbury, a well-known team cancer, Boozer doesn't love him at all.
The internal contradictions of this Mi national team are not only this.
The United States team attacked.
Lin Fei continued to lead the 122 joint defense, limiting Iverson's breakthrough.
This time, the ball went to Marion, who was crouching in the bottom corner on the right, and the latter shot from a wide open position.
"Bang dang!"
The U.S. team's outside three-point shooting was very bad tonight, with only 2 of 11 shots in total, which is one of the important reasons why the Celestial Empire men's basketball team can lead to the final quarter.
After all, the three-point shot has a lot of luck, and the reason why the United States eliminated Xibanya in the last game in 8 into 4 is because they shot 12 three-pointers in the whole game and shot through Xibanya's joint defense.
Outside firepower has always been the most effective way to break the joint defense, and it is precisely because of this that Kevin Durant in the later period has become the biggest killer weapon of the United States team in the international arena.
If you can't shoot from the outside, the stars of the United States team are easy to fall into passivity, and coupled with emotional imbalance, they often play even worse.
The defensive rebounds were roughly caught, and the Celestial Empire team stabilized the rhythm and played positional battles.
The hook under the basket of the bus was interfered with by Duncan, and the rebound was taken by Duncan steadily, giving Marbury a quick advance.
But this time Liu Wei stood in a very critical position, perhaps because of emotional anxiety, Marbury turned over and was obviously anxious after receiving Duncan's pass, and directly knocked Liu Wei, who was in a good position, to the ground.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew decisively and blew a foul on Marbury's offense.
The foul count had already arrived, and Liu Wei was sent to the free throw line to make two free throws.
Marbury was furious, but he could only hold back his emotions.
If the Dream Team of the United States also starts complaining that the referee's whistle is unfair, and cannot fight back with a strong performance on the field, then they have already begun to fall off the altar.
Liu Wei was hit by Marbury this time, and the blood in his nose flowed out again.
But he still stood on the free throw line after quickly stopping the bleeding, and both free throws were safe.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Philip Saunders couldn't sit still and quickly called a timeout.
The cheers of fans from all over the world at the scene became stronger and stronger.
Although Da Yao rested off the court, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team not only did not force the score to close during this time period, but even stretched the lead to 8 points.
The momentum of the dark horse of the Celestial Empire has been fully demonstrated.
Del Harris was thrilled and high-fived everyone who walked off the field.
As a famous coach of the Mi nationality, if he can lead the Celestial Empire men's basketball team to defeat his country's dream team in the Olympic Games,
I believe that Del Harris will also leave a strong mark on the world basketball world.
If it is finally realized, then it not only represents the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has secured a medal,
At the same time, it also allowed the United States team to lose in the knockout stage of the Olympic men's basketball field for the first time since 1992 and missed the gold medal.
Liu Wei also walked off the field quite excitedly and high-fived Da Yao, Li Nan, Hu Xuefeng, UAE and others on the bench.
Although there were two blood surges tonight, the first and second moods were completely different for Liu Wei.
Up to now, Liu Wei has also scored 5 points and 3 assists.
In addition to the Big Three, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, Li Nan and the United Arab Emirates have also scored.
Celestial Empire (78) :(70) rice country.
On the timer, there were 7 minutes and 19 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.
As long as they hold on to the last 7 minutes and 19 seconds, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team can make history again.
But it is clear that the Mi team will not give up on this.
It is precisely because they lost two games in the group stage that this year's Mi Dream Six needs to complete their goal and win the gold medal, so as to keep their last fig pants.
But it's one thing for everyone to want to win, it's another thing for the contradictions and unity in the team.
No matter how strong the individual ability is, after all, it can't match the opponent's tightly united defense, and basketball is always a five-person sport in the final analysis.
Pause back.
Da Yao played, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team re-sent the starting five tigers at the last moment:
Liu Wei, Lin Fei, Zhu Fangyu, roughly, Da Yao.
On the side of the United States, Philip Sanders withstood the pressure and let Wade replace Marbury, who was in poor form tonight, after all, Marbury has accumulated 4 fouls, and one more foul will be ejected.
It also brought on Jefferson for Marion.
Marion, this guy made 0 of 3 three-pointers from the big open position tonight, and he couldn't get into the restricted area, which was really bad.
And with the addition of a technical foul, Marion also committed 4 fouls, and staying on the court is also a hidden danger.
FIBA rules stipulate that technical fouls and other fouls are all accumulated together, and you must leave the court as long as you have committed five fouls.
The rules of the NBA are that individual fouls and technical fouls are counted separately, with 6 ejections for individual fouls and 2 ejections for technical fouls.
On the inside, Duncan and Boozer are still partnered.
Iverson, Wade, Jefferson, Boozer, Duncan.
When Wade came up, he broke through the restricted area against Lin Feiqiang, but the young man was still young after all, and he made a difficult layup against Da Yao, so he naturally missed the iron.
"Smack!"
The rebound was grabbed by Da Yao, and the Celestial Empire team continued to slow down the time.
Although the offensive end was deflated, Wade was more active on the defensive end, and he was much better than Marbury.
Lin Fei and Da Yao held the ball at the top of the arc and continued to play cover and block the dismantling, and after the dislocation, Wade quickly let go of Lin Fei and Duncan to wrap Da Yao together.
Da Yao's ball was handled in a hurry again, and it was cut off by Wade.
"Smack!"
Lin Fei quickly retreated, wanting to stop Wade's fast attack, but the Lost Step was too elusive, and Wade rested enough time to be physically active.
This ball couldn't be prevented at all, and Lin Fei could only decisively choose to foul Wade.
"Smack!"
Because it's a tactical foul that goes around the front, it's not a violation.
In addition, the cumulative number of fouls in the second half of the Tianchao men's basketball team just reached 7, so Lin Fei's non-shooting foul did not give Wade a free throw.
This can be said to be a very cost-effective foul.
The U.S. team served and attacked again on the sideline, and Iverson broke through the middle to Duncan, who still missed the crosshairs with a mid-range jumper and missed the iron.
"Bang dang!"
The offensive rebound was picked up by Boozer, who did not force the offense under the general defensive cover, but re-gave it to Iverson.
Iverson drew the bag and then distributed the ball again to Jefferson, who was crouching in the 0-degree corner vacancy, and Jefferson seized the opportunity this time and hit the three-pointer steadily.
"Huh!"
Da Yao's hook hand under the basket was not interfered with by Duncan, the United States team grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, taking advantage of the unstable defense of the men's basketball team in the Celestial Empire, Iverson butterfly wore flowers and went straight to the basket, and pulled the rod to make a layup to score two more points.
"Huh!"
In a wave of 5:0, the Mi team also quickly chased the difference to 3 points.
The Celestial Empire team attacked, Da Yao continued to block and dismantle with Lin Fei at the top of the arc, and this time Wade and Duncan still adopted a decisive strategy of wrapping and clamping, completely emptying Lin Fei.
Da Yao had already prepared and passed the ball out of the two-person bag with difficulty.
But the quality of this ball pass was not high, Lin Fei leaned over to receive the ball, did not hesitate, jumped outside the three-point line and made a decisive shot.
"Bang dang!"
The ball missed, the United States team launched a counterattack, Wade received Iverson's breakthrough layup as sharp as a sword, Lin Fei struggled to catch up, but he was still half a step late.
"Huh!"
The difference came to 1 point.
Moment of truth.
Zhu Fangyu, who was empty on the outside, made another meritorious service, and took a shot from the outside position that roughly divided the ball, and hit the basket with a three-point shot.
"Huh!"
This is Zhu Fangyu's third three-pointer tonight, and it is also the fourth firepower output point of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team outside of Lin Fei, Da Yao and roughly.
Jefferson was in a hurry to roughly cut off the ball in the opponent's hand, which completely emptied Zhu Fangyu.
The defensive choice was too risky, and Duncan, who has always been known for his steadiness in the defense, whispered a reminder to Jefferson.
But Jefferson did not respond to Duncan with a cold face, the Nets were hammered by the Spurs in the Finals last year, and Jefferson still has a bit of a personal grudge in this mood.
Of course, Jefferson was in poor personal form in this national team, his playing time was gradually compressed, and he was robbed of his starting position by Marion, and his mentality was also not good.
The tactical style of play of the United States Dream Six has made many players uncomfortable, and Jefferson has become accustomed to partnering with a point guard master like Jason Kidd in the Nets.
Now that he has two balls in the national team, Iverson and Marbury, naturally he is not in good shape.
Zhu Fangyu's key three points allowed the Celestial Empire men's basketball team to regain a 4-point lead.
But the wave of attacks of the United States team has become more and more violent.
Iverson missed a difficult layup under the basket, and Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound to make a rebound.
"Huh!"
Roughly and Da Yao's high and low blocking, after retreating to the outside line, the three-point shot of the catch missed.
"Bang dang!"
The Mi team launched a lightning counterattack again, and Liu Wei had no choice but to foul and send Iverson to the free throw line.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
With Iverson making both free throws, the U.S. team officially tied the score.
On the timer, there were 3 minutes and 22 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.
Celestial Empire (81) :(81) Rice Country.
In less than 4 minutes, the United States team used a wave of crazy 11:3 to constantly speed up in the defensive counterattack, completely destroying the defense of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
The Celestial Empire athlete fans and Chinese fans in the audience were all solemn at this time, and their hearts were full of worry.
Del Harris also quickly called a long timeout, reminding the players that they must play steady and not give the United States a chance to counter the fast break.
"In the last 3 minutes, on the offensive end, we must impact the basket more and rush to grab offensive rebounds, instead of shooting three-pointers floating on the outside, so that the long rebounds that pop up can easily give the United States team an easy opportunity to counterattack the fast break!"
"After half a month of persistence, we finally ushered in the most important 3 minutes of the men's basketball team, don't think about the current score, try to play every offense, do a good job in every defense!"
"Believe in every teammate around you, and remember, only together can we have a chance to win the final victory!"
In the five live broadcast rooms of the Celestial Empire, the atmosphere is also dignified.
Director Zhang's face was calm, his brows were furrowed, and sweat had already come out of his palms.
"This wave of offensive of the Mi national team is really strong, and at the critical moment, the huge gap in strength is difficult to make up after all!"
Host Yang Jian asked: "Coach Zhang, in your opinion, after this timeout, what adjustments should the Celestial Empire men's basketball team make in order to play the last three minutes?" ”
Director Zhang frowned and analyzed: "It's easy to say, but it's also difficult to sit up!" ”
"There are two main points, the first is to open up the situation on the offensive end and try to score!"
"The second is to block the fast break of the Mi national team on the defensive end, and strictly arrange the 1-2-2 joint defense to limit the opponent's scoring!"
Yang Jian: "This ......, good, what Director Zhang said is very reasonable!" ”
Although the time in the imperial capital has come to 4 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of millions of fanatical fans are still waiting in front of the TVs in various parts of the Celestial Empire, and their nervous hearts are in their throats.
On the major sports forums of Yahoo and the groom, the message posts about the game of the United States VS Celestial Empire are also skyrocketing and endless.
"Is this being equaled? The sixth old man of the Mi national team is really strong! ”
"The method of the Mi national team to wrap the inside ball carrier is really amazing, and Da Yao can't pass the ball several times!"
"In terms of high-level response ability, Da Yao really can't compare with Kevin Garnett, this must be admitted!"
"No matter how bad it is, Da Yao has already had 6 assists tonight, and it is another quasi-triple-double!"
"If you can't win the United States, don't say that the quasi-triple double, even if it's a real triple double, it's useless?"
"What's the panic? What if the United States team equaled? I believe that our Celestial Empire boys will definitely fight with all their strength until the last moment! ”
"The Celestial Empire will win, the Celestial Empire will win!"
On Sanlitun Bar Street, near the Imperial Capital Workers' Stadium, a luxurious speakeasy is bustling with people, even though it's 4 a.m.
On the big TV screen at this time, it is natural that the focus semi-finals of the Celestial Empire VS United States are being played, and in the last 3 minutes, countless fans in the bar are very nervous.
This bar is quite famous in the imperial capital, and it has a relationship in the Beijing circle, so it also secretly sets up a bureau to conduct internal gambling.
On the walls of the bar, there are also huge game posters temporarily, and players such as Lin Fei, Da Yao, Roughly, Iverson, and Duncan have appeared on the posters.
However, after all, this poster was made by the fans of the Celestial Empire, in order to cheer for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team,
The center of the C position of the poster is given to Da Yao, Lin Fei and roughly on the left and right, and then Iverson and Duncan on the outside.
At a glance, Iverson and Duncan, two NBA superstars, have completely become the foil of the Big Three of the Celestial Empire, and the visual effects are full.
Tonight's focus battle has been hyped to an unprecedented height, you must know that the women's volleyball team won the championship in the Olympic Games has become the memory and time symbol of the whole people of the Celestial Empire.
And now the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, which is far more concerned than the women's volleyball team and has a fan base countless times higher, facing the world basketball hegemon Mi Guo in the semifinals is a big event that the whole people are keen on.
In a sense, the game even has a certain political level.
Therefore, the fans in the bar who were under the influence of alcohol naturally also invested money to bet on the game before the game, and most of them supported the Celestial Empire men's basketball team to win the game.
After all, the odds are higher, and at the same time, patriotic enthusiasm is expressed.
"In the last 3 minutes, the men's basketball team must withstand it, Lao Tzu bet more than 20,000 yuan!"
"Give the ball to Lin Fei, let Lin Fei shoot three points, and TMD will shoot this group of Mi Guoyanes to death!"
"It is still necessary to reduce outside shots, at critical moments, the efficiency of the inside twin towers is the highest, and you must actively rush to grab rebounds!"
At this moment, a bald middle-aged man walked up to the dance floor of the bar, picked up a microphone and shouted:
"If the Celestial Empire men's basketball team wins tonight, I will pay for the consumption of everyone in the audience! Let's cheer for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team! ”
There were cheers, and all the men and women in the audience shouted that the Celestial Empire is coming on, and the Celestial Empire will win.
"Waiter, bring me another bottle of '82 Lafite!"
"I want two more bottles of XO, five parts of the medium-rare Tomahawk steak......"
This bald middle-aged man is the owner of a coal mine in Xishan, who was already drunk at this time, and returned to the front seat with the support of two suit-bound bodyguards, accompanied by a well-known actress in the entertainment industry.
The coal boss looked up at the game on the TV, and after a pause, the United States and the Celestial Empire had begun the final three minutes of the decisive battle.
In a fit of emotion, he threw a dozen bills onto the bandstand next to him and shouted:
"Give me a song of Beyond's "Sea and Sky", after this song is sung, the men's basketball team of the Celestial Dynasty will win!"
The audience resounded with cheers, and the familiar singing voice also sounded slowly under the performance of the bar's resident band, which hit the heart:
"Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, and floated far away with a cooled heart......"
Look back at the elegant point.
After the timeout, players from both teams restarted.
The final 3 minutes of the decisive battle were on the verge of breaking out.
The team of the United States team has a very good effect on chasing points, and Philip Saunders naturally did not choose to make another substitution.
On the side of the Celestial Empire team, Del Harris made an adjustment and replaced Liu Wei with veteran Li Nan to strengthen the firepower on the offensive end.
At the last critical moment, veterans are naturally less likely to make mistakes.
Da Yao took the ball in the low post and turned over to hook his hand towards Duncan, this time there was.
"Huh!"
At the last moment, Da Yao also shot 8 of 15 tonight, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, and his performance was very comprehensive.
It's just that because of physical problems, the offensive efficiency in the second half is obviously not as good as in the first half.
Not only Da Yao, but also Lin Fei and Lin Fei also have this problem.
If it weren't for the role players who stepped up in the second half, the Celestial Empire team would probably have been played by the United States team by now.
The United States team attacked, Iverson faced Lin Fei's lead defense, shook off the opponent after a sharp crossover, and decisively shot a two-point shot in a high position.
"Huh!"
This ball is also hit.
At the final decisive moment, Iverson exuded a strong fighting spirit, and his hand became hot.
"Lin, although you may score more points than me tonight, the victory must be ours!"
So far, Iverson has made 7 of 16 shots, plus 4 of 5 free throws, scoring a team-high 18 points, plus three assists and two steals.
For Iverson's emergency stop high jump shot after shaking off the defender, with Lin Fei's current defensive strength, there is really no way at all.
The reason why Iverson didn't score much tonight was because he didn't feel good overall.
The Celestial Empire men's basketball team can still be anxious at the last moment with the United States Dream Six, and the factors are very complex.
Although the gap in strength is very large, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team is more united and has stronger tactical execution.
At the same time, coupled with the poor overall feel of the United States team, the internal player contradictions, and the referee's proper care of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team,
All kinds of comprehensive factors have allowed the Celestial Empire men's basketball team to be on a par with the United States men's basketball team and not fall behind.
Da Yao continued to ask for the ball in the low post, but this time Duncan's interference was key.
"Bang dang!"
Da Yao missed the shot, everyone grabbed the rebound and went out of bounds, and the referee awarded the ball to the backcourt of the United States team.
Iverson repeated his old tricks, but this time Li Nan let go of Wade's bag and came up quickly, successfully interfering with Iverson's shot.
Wade's mid-range and long-range were also selectively emptied, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team was determined that Iverson would not pass the ball easily in the final moments.
"Bang dang!"
The basketball hit the iron, Da Yao and Duncan competed for the rebound, and this time the ball went out of bounds again, the backcourt ball of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
In the next two offensive and defensive rounds, as the level of defense increased, neither the Celestial Empire nor the United States could score, and on the timer, the game also entered the crucial last 1 minute.
Celestial Empire (83) :(83) rice country.
The U.S. team attacked, and Iverson still went his own way at the last moment, directly facing Lin Fei outside the three-point line and making a three-point shot.
Iverson's choice was something Lin Fei didn't expect, so he didn't have time to give any defense interference.
"Huh!"
This ball was there, and even though Iverson shot 0 of 4 three-pointers in the game, at the critical moment, he used a decisive outside shot to complete his redemption of the whole game.
The Mi team instantly took a lead of 3 points.
Celestial Empire (83) :(86) rice country.
On the timer, there were only 0 minutes and 42 seconds left until the end of normal time.
Iverson also used his first three-pointer tonight to bring his personal score to 22 points, only one point short of Lin Fei's 23 points.
Iverson in the defense is confident and mature, in front of the juniors, this achievement is indeed nothing to show off, but the trash talk should definitely not be less:
"Lin, I'm really sorry, I'm not only going to win tonight, but I'm going to score more points than you!"
"Can joint defense restrain me? It's all bullshit! ”
In the face of Iverson's unruliness, Lin Fei's eyes also became cold, and in a moment of crisis, he knew that he had to stand up.
Del Harris was reluctant to call the last long timeout, and could only pray in his heart that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team could respond to the United States team on the offensive end this time.
From the opening 2 minutes of the game, this is the first time that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has been overtaken by the United States in the score tonight.
The pressure has all come to the side of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
The twin towers continued to play high in the front court, Lin Fei ran to involve the outside defense, and after making a cross cover at the top of the arc with Li Nan,
Iverson and Wade had a deviation in communication at this time, and they all chased Lin Fei at the first time, and directly released Li Nan on the left outside.
Da Yao held the ball with his back against Duncan, and did not hesitate after discovering the opportunity, and quickly gave the ball to Li Nan who was in the empty space on the left outside line.
Da Yao remembers what Del Harris said at the last timeout, he must believe in his teammates, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team is a united team.
Li Nan received the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and quickly ran back in the face of Wade, and the calmness and decisiveness of a veteran were fully displayed, without hesitation, he jumped decisively to shoot a three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Hit.
After the goal, Li Nan shook his fist at Wade and roared, and the soldier's iron-blooded spirit was undoubtedly displayed.
Does the CBA's three-point champion need to instigate an NBA rookie?
Not at all necessary.
Celestial Empire (86) :(86) Rice Country.
The time on the timer freezes at 0:29 of the last quarter.
The two teams are back on the same page again.
Philip Saunders called the last timeout on the side of the United States to set up the next crucial attack.
In the final 29 seconds, both teams theoretically had one more chance to attack.
Many Celestial Empire fans in the audience couldn't help but shed tears at this time, no matter how they won or lost in the end, they would be proud of this year's Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
Reaching the Final Four has already made history in itself.
During the pause, Lin Fei also heard the athletes of the Celestial Empire in the front row of the stands, and suddenly excitedly talked about something.
"Liu wants to win the championship, 12.91 seconds, oh my God, he broke the Olympic record! Also tied the world record! ”
"This gold medal is too precious, our men's track and field in the Celestial Empire has never won a medal in the Olympic Games, Liu Xiang has a direct gold medal and a record-breaking, which is of great significance!"
"Yes, Liu Xiang's performance is too perfect, and then it depends on whether the Celestial Empire men's basketball team can make history again!"
When Lin Fei heard this, his mood suddenly became excited, and he clenched his fists tightly, Liu Xiang is good, and he Lin Fei must not be left behind.
Liu Xiang's real-time championship also stimulated the fighting spirit of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team to a certain extent.
In the last 29 seconds, one offense and one defense, there were too many decisions to allow them to make the slightest mistake.
If there are any regrets left in this Olympic Games, it will have to wait until four long years......
The timeout came back and the players from both teams restarted.
The U.S. team attacked in the frontcourt, and the ball was still in Iverson's hands.
There's no complicated tactic, just let Iverson play alone, that's the charm of a superstar.
When Iverson started the breakthrough, Lin Fei seemed to see the "answer" of the hard bar OK combination in the 01 finals, although he was half a head shorter than himself, his eyes were full of turbulence, and the endless killing intent rolled into a sea of blood.
Iverson knew the characteristics of Lin Fei's defense tonight, so he didn't make too complicated moves, and directly broke through with a sharp step to completely pass Lin Fei.
Immediately afterwards, Li Nan, who changed direction and threw off the defense, accelerated and hit the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Iverson's speed is too fast, and the joint defense of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team cannot achieve the best effect under physical constraints.
Iverson, who hit the basket, faced Da Yao's last line of defense, and after stopping to worship the Buddha, he made an incredible change of direction and shot from Da Yao's armpit.
"Huh!"
After the basketball hit the board, it hollowed into the net and hit.
Celestial Empire (86) :(88) rice country.
Da Yao's goal was even suspected of a defensive foul, but the referee chose to ignore it.
Iverson scored 5 points in a row in the last 1 minute tonight, helping the United States team to take the lead, and at the same time, he also surpassed Lin Fei in personal scoring, the highest in the game.
On the timer, there were only 0 minutes and 9 seconds left until the end of the race.
With a difference of 2 points, there are only 9 seconds left for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
The U.S. team had almost begun to celebrate, and Iverson even threw a punch at Da Yao after the goal, turning over and putting one hand to his ear in a trademark listening gesture.
The cheers at the scene came and went, and those Greek and international fans who originally defected to the men's basketball team of the Heavenly Dynasty still felt that the United States team was more worthy of admiration after all.
Because Del Harris still has a long timeout in his hand, in the eyes of the United States, after Iverson scored a 2-point lead, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team will inevitably call a timeout to arrange the last offense.
But Del Harris did not call a timeout, but waved his hand vigorously on the sidelines, signaling the players to quickly serve and counterattack, and hit the United States team by surprise.
Without a point guard, Li Nan, as the team's first dribbling point, quickly received the ball and advanced, and Wade was also the first to react and hurriedly rushed up to force it.
Li Nan hurriedly gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who came up to answer, and Zhu Fangyu passed the rough idea of running to the front court.
The approximate pace completely shook off Duncan and Boozer at the critical moment, and of course there was some reason for the mental slackness after the United States took the lead.
Roughly stepped into the front court three-point line outside the Zhu Fangyu pass, directly combined the ball with three steps, and entered the penalty area to send a violent dunk.
Although the two inside lines of the Mi national team did not come up to defend, Wade rushed up to make up for the defense as soon as possible, and the young and frivolous were completely unafraid of the approximate height and tonnage, and they were about to send the chasing hat when they jumped up.
I didn't expect Wade to chase himself at all, so he was about to dunk the basketball in the basket, and was slapped on the tempered rebound by the Flash with a crazy force.
"Smack!"
Wade's block showed his physical talent to the fullest, he is the boss that the Miami Heat wants to focus on developing, how can he lose to a foreign interior player who can't even play rotation on the bench?
The basketball was frantically slapped away by Wade, smashed into the tempered rebound at a large angle, and bounced off the right side of the court.
At this time, there are only 2 seconds left until the end of the game.
This flying cap of the century seems to determine the success or failure of a century's war, Wade feels that the United States team has won, and he sent a key stunner for his country.
At the moment when he was chased, he was also in turmoil in his heart, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he seemed to feel that he was going to become a sinner in the men's basketball team of the Celestial Empire.
This time being blocked by Heat teammate Wade, is it going to be the nightmare of his life?
Remind yourself that he doesn't deserve to play in the NBA at all?
However, in the last two seconds of the game, a lot can still happen.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei, who ran back to throw off Iverson in the fast attack, did not use any cover at all, and directly interspersed with a 30-degree angle on the outside line on the right side.
After Wade completed the hat, Iverson's pursuit was obviously a little negative, but in the next second, he instantly felt extremely regretful.
After being vigorously chased by Wade, the basketball hit the tempered rebound and just bounced outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right side of the frontcourt.
And Lin Fei also threw off Iverson to receive the basketball in this familiar position, without any hesitation, bent the bow and arrows, jumped and shot again.
Iverson saw Lin Fei jump up and shoot out, and rushed up desperately to pounce, but the distance between him and Lin Fei at this time was more than two meters.
The distance of these two meters seems to be far away from the Pacific Ocean, far beyond the ends of the earth, and it will continue to reappear in Iverson's memories in the future.
"Huh!"
The moment the basketball hollows into the net, the timer and tempered rebound also light up red.
The game is over.
Celestial Empire (89) :(88) Rice Country.
Lin Fei used a standard three-point whistle to help the Celestial Empire men's basketball team defeat the invincible Mi Guo Dream Team, and while reaching the finals, he also locked the first Olympic men's basketball medal in the history of the Celestial Empire.
This whistle-blowing stunner can be said to be a "hat-chasing assist" from Heat teammate Wade.
Wade originally thought that his hat-chasing strike helped the team lock up the win, but the reality is that he indirectly assisted Lin Fei to kill the United States.
Another whistle kill that is difficult to replicate, Lin Fei roared at the audience after landing on the ground, and his handsome facial features also became wild and hideous:
"Olympic finals, Lao Tzu is here!"
There was a piercing buzz in front of the technical table, Da Yao, Roughly, Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan on the court, as well as the Tianchao men's basketball players on the bench on the sidelines: Liu Wei, UAE, Daba, Hu Xuefeng, Guo Shiqiang......
All of them rushed towards Lin Fei on the court, raised their hands and stared at each other in a hysterical shout:
"Win, we win!"
"Finals, here we come!"
……
In the luxurious bar of the imperial capital Sanlitun.
Countless fans at the scene erupted in cheers and shouts at this moment, and there was even the sound of wine bottles and glasses being smashed.
The song "Sea and Sky" by the bar resident band finally sang the last two lines at this time:
"Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, and I will be afraid that I will fall down one day!"
"If you have abandoned your ideals, anyone can do it, how can you be afraid that one day you will only be with me......"
The Celestial Empire men's basketball team miraculously defeated the United States in the Olympic arena, reached the finals historically, and also ensured a place in the top two, winning the gold medal and losing the silver medal.
In the finals, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team traveled lightly and no longer had any psychological baggage.
Ginobili and Scola's Argen Suspension also defeated Italian at the same time to meet the Celestial Empire in the Olympic men's basketball final.
