Early the next morning, driven by the heat of the World Championships finals, there was already a crowd of people outside the Saitama Super Arena.

On the outer wall of the arena, there is a huge promotional poster for the finals, on which Lin Fei and Wade are facing each other and fighting each other, representing the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and the United States Dream Seven.

As far as the eye can see, there are many fans from island countries wearing Lin Fei's No. 22 Heat jersey, and there are also many fans wearing Wade's No. 3 jersey.

As the first Asian superstar to compete in the NBA and win the Finals MVP, Lin Fei has become the pride of all Asian and all yellow people.

Therefore, this World Championship final in the island country can be said to be half of the home of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

The on-site fans who support the Celestial Empire men's basketball team obviously account for the vast majority.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the more than 19,000 seats in the Saitama Super Arena were already filled with enthusiastic fans, and the atmosphere was frenetic to catch up with the NBA games.

"I never thought that the finals of a men's basketball world championship could have such a warm atmosphere as the NBA finals!"

"The stars of the two teams in this final are no worse than the NBA finals, Wade, James, Ray Allen, Billups, Elton Brand, and all All-Star players on the side of the United States!"

"What's more, on the side of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, there are also two NBA stars, Lin Fei and Da Yao, who are roughly the same starters of the championship Heat!"

"That's right, the Mi Guo Dream Seven and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team reached the finals this time, and both teams won all 8 games in the group stage and the knockout round, and they have not tasted defeat!"

"I really envy that the Celestial Empire can emerge two NBA-level stars at the same time, but no one in our country has stepped on the NBA stage, the gap is really too big!"

"Have you forgotten Yuta Tawo? But this guy doesn't mention it, even if he has entered the NBA, there is nothing to show off! ”

While looking forward to the start of the game, many fans of the island countries in the audience are also discussing, praising and envying the rapid rise of the men's basketball team in the world today.

Following "Slam Dunk", Lin Fei's birth in the NBA, coupled with the success of the World Championships,

Let the basketball atmosphere of the island country come to a new height again.

An hour before the start of the game, in the locker room of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, head coach Younas was making the final mobilization for the players before the game:

"The team of the United States in this World Championship is very strong, not only with talented young players such as Wade, James, Anthony and Howard,"

"We also have experienced Mesozoic stars like Ray Allen, Billups and Elton Brand!"

"We've done a thorough analysis of the characteristics of these players' playing styles and the offensive and defensive tactics that Stan Van Gundy has used!"

"To be able to beat the best teams in Europe, Spain and Germany, and to stand on the final stage, the fans of the whole country are very proud of you!"

"But our journey is not over yet, if before the start of the World Championships, our goal is to beat the United States and win the championship, maybe you will feel that this wish is a bit unrealistic!"

"But now that we are on the stage of the finals, there is only one winner of the game, so why can't it be the Celestial Empire men's basketball team?"

"Come on, kids, I'm sure you can defeat any opponent, including Mengqi, of course!"

When Younas said this, the players were not moved, but they couldn't help but have a little tears in their eyes.

From the 04 Athens Olympics to the 06 Island Country Men's Basketball World Championships, Younas has really integrated with this group of boys from the Celestial Empire along the way.

also through the rise of Lin Fei and Da Yao, the incomparably brilliant present and future of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team were foreseen.

To be able to witness all this as a head coach and witness the take-off of a big Asian country in basketball is an honor that Younas will never forget.

Lin Fei high-fived every opponent of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, and at the same time couldn't help but say excitedly:

"Brothers, this will be our last game in this World Championships, and I cherish the half month I spent fighting side by side with you!"

"You all know that I beat up Jason Terry in the Mavericks' locker room during the NBA Finals in June because he insulted me and our country!"

"I hope we can use our actual actions and performances on the field tonight to defeat the dream of the United States, and also defeat all the doubts and insults!"

"Let's lift the final championship trophy and announce to the world that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has stood on top of the world!"

Lin Fei's words were far more morale-boosting than head coach Younas, and every player in the Celestial Empire men's basketball team clenched their fists at this time, exuding fanatical fighting intent all over their bodies:

"For the sake of victory, let's rush together!"

"Celestial Empire men's basketball team, come on!"

Slogans rang out in unison, filling every corner of the locker room.

In the dressing room on the side of the United States team, head coach Stan Van Gundy also temporarily announced a change to the starting lineup tonight.

"The inside starters of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team must be Yao and Wang, and the two of them are the most trustworthy players in the team outside of Lin Fei!"

"Yao and Wang have an absolute height advantage, and their projection level is also very high, and Yao also has good frame protection and rebounding ability!"

"But in terms of the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, Yao and Wang are obviously at a disadvantage!"

"So tonight we focus on fast-paced defensive counterattacks, with constant impact on the basket, continuous fast-break breakthroughs to drag across the inside line of the Tianchao men's basketball team!"

"Dwayne and Ray continue to partner in the starting backcourt, with Cameron and LeBron up front, and Elton Brand as a cameo center!"

The time soon came to 7 p.m. local time, and in the anticipation and cheers of nearly 20,000 enthusiastic fans at the scene and more than 30,000 fans outside the stadium,

The competition has officially begun.

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

Point Guard (PG): Lin Fei,

Scoring Guard (SG): Wang Shipeng,

Small Forward (SF): Zhu Fangyu,

Power Forward (PF): Roughly,

Center (C): Da Yao.

Lin Fei made a cameo appearance as the starting point guard tonight, and Wade went head-to-head on both offensive and defensive ends, two superstars who helped the Heat win two consecutive championships.

There will also be a real showdown at the top tonight.

Because Lin Fei and Wade are wearing No. 9 jerseys in their respective national teams, tonight's head-to-head battle between the two is also known as the strongest No. 9 battle by fans.

In the group of guards of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, except for Lin Fei, there is never an excellent guard who can take on the heavy responsibility.

Whether it is Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng or Sun Yue, they all have their own obvious shortcomings.

Younas asked Wang Shipeng to temporarily serve as the starting quarterback tonight, and in the subsequent game process, he will make adjustments at any time according to the offensive and defensive effects.

The starting five tigers on the side of the Mi Guo Dream Seven are:

Point Guard (PG): Dwayne Wade,

Shooting Guard (SG): Ray Allen,

Small Forward (SF): Carmelo Anthony,

Power Forward (PF): LeBron James,

Center (C): Elton Brand.

Although Brand is the starting center, among the starting five Tigers of Dream Seven, the best height and bounce is actually the "little emperor" LeBron James.

Therefore, the task of jumping the ball for the Mi national team in the opening game was also given to James.

"Smack!"

As the so-called art industry is special, Da Yao's experience in jumping is much higher than James's, coupled with the crushing of height and arm span, even if the bullet speed is not as good as that of the little emperor, he successfully took the lead in picking up the basketball above the opponent's head.

Lin Fei came up to get the ball and pushed directly into the front court.

The scene resounded with cheers, as if turning this arena into the home of Lin Fei and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

The players of the United States team looked at each other, and in the previous games, the popularity of these NBA stars in the United States was obviously higher than that of their opponents, and there were more fans on the scene.

But tonight, the situation has completely reversed.

Several members of Dream Seven, who knew a little about the modern history of the Celestial Empire, were even more confused at this time.

Haven't the Celestial Empire and the island nation always had a deep hatred? Why did these fans of the island countries become fans of Lin Fei and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team tonight?

Lin Fei quickly came to the top of the arc two meters outside the three-point line with the ball, Wade quickly came up to the defense, and there was tension between the two No. 9s.

"Lin, you may score more points than me tonight, and you may have more assists than me, but I'm very sorry, the victory must be ours!"

Lin Fei casually dribbled under his crotch to adjust the rhythm, and chuckled at his old friend Wade in response:

"Dwayne, that's exactly what I want to say to you!"

"Personal data without victory, it means nothing to me!"

Before the words fell, Da Yao, who was raised on the right, quickly made a high-quality blocking and dismantling cover for Lin Fei.

Lin Fei shook off Wade and moved to the right side of the dribble, and Brand switched up for the first time.

As the top pick in 1999, Elton Brand is only 2.03 meters tall, but he is very strong physically, weighing in at 270 pounds.

Whether it's a low-post single back-to-back foot, or a mid-range jumper, it's Brand's forte.

In the 05-06 season that just ended in the NBA, Elton Brand averaged 24.7 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game for the Los Angeles Clippers, and was selected for the All-Star bench in the West.

Although he does not have the potential of a superstar and his ability to lead the team is average, Elton Brand is still the top five power forwards in the league at this stage.

Defensively, Elton Brand is just as aggressive, with a solid body and excellent arm span, not only defending the center in the low post, but also switching guards on the outside, which can really be said to be from 1 to 5.

The reason why Stan Van Gundy let Elton Brand play as the starting center tonight is to hope that the starting lineup of Dream Seven can be infinitely changed.

So as to better limit Lin Fei and Da Yao, as well as roughly on the outside of the blocking and dismantling three-point.

On the court at this time, facing Brand's rapid change of defense, and Wade, who bypassed Da Yao and hurriedly chased after him.

Lin Fei lowered his center of gravity and made a breakthrough, and at the moment when Brand took half a step back, he quickly retreated and jumped out.

"Whoosh!"

By the time Brand jumped up to block, the basketball had already flown over the opponent's head.

"Huh!"

Facing the dream of the United States, Lin Fei made full preparations before the game tonight, and the opening feeling was far hotter than the last game against Spain.

The scene was full of cheers, and Stan Van Gundy, the head coach standing on the sidelines of the United States team, also shook his head helplessly and sighed.

A difficult three-point shot like Lin Fei's step-back, even if the defense is in place, it is difficult to complete the block, so he can only try to interfere or seal his eyes, begging him to miss.

Lin Fei hit a step-back three-pointer in less than 10 seconds after the opening game, instantly igniting tens of thousands of fans inside and outside the Saitama Super Arena arena.

Wade's side was naturally not to be outdone, dribbling the ball to the offensive end, and also summoned a lifting block from Brand, and accelerated to break through the penalty area in a dislocation.

Taking advantage of the momentary opportunity when James blocked the basket, he jumped up and grabbed the ball with his left hand to send a dunk.

"Boom!"

Celestial Empire (3) :(2) Rice Kingdom.

Wade's first step to break through was quite fast, and after entering the penalty area, he was full of impact, and at the same time, there were unpredictable and unpredictable steps, and Lin Fei had no chance to chase the block behind him.

Wade at this year's World Championships has made a qualitative leap from the 04 Olympics, from a talented rookie to a real MVP-level superstar.

The current level of Wade's breakthrough alone has reached the highest level in NBA history, not only stronger than Kobe, but also not inferior to the peak Iverson and Jordan.

Even in the face of the combined defense strategy of the European powerhouses, Wade was still able to average 28.1 points per game in this World Championships, and the shooting rate reached 56%.

Looking back, Lin Fei used the containment force after blocking and dismantling this time to easily hoist the ball to Da Yao who went down.

Da Yao hit a solid jumper near the free throw line.

"Huh!"

Dream Seven Team Attacks Again.

In the face of Lin Fei's rapidly increasing defensive pressure, Wade did not choose to take the risk of attacking, but gave the ball to Anthony who was high on the right side.

"Melon" has an absolute singles advantage in the face of Zhu Fangyu, three threats in the face frame, and a horizontal jump shot after a false shake.

Basketball is also hollow into the net, splashing beautifully.

"Huh!"

Conversion of possession.

Lin Fei gave the ball directly to Da Yao in the key position under the basket this time.

Against the short and stout interior line of the Dream Seven team, Da Yao has an obvious advantage in height.

Brand defended hard against Da Yao's waist, and his long arms interfered with his movements, which was a full learning of Boozer's defensive strategy against Da Yao.

With his back to pass through continuous dream steps, Da Yao successfully turned over and threw off Brand, and when he hit the basket, he was about to send a dunk directly.

However, James, who quickly came up from the right side, flew up with the blessing of talent, his head was directly flat on the frame, and his big hand slapped the basketball in the basket that Da Yao was about to dunk into the basket.

"Smack!"

James' flying basketball happened to be picked up by Ray Allen, and Dream Seven quickly launched a counterattack and fast attack.

Seeing that Ray Allen's breakthrough with the ball completely shook off the opposing Wang Shipeng, Lin Fei could only quickly make up for it.

On the other side, Wade and Anthony had already stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight to the frontcourt.

"Whoosh!"

Ray Allen avoided Lin Fei's pressing, and quickly passed the ball diagonally to Wade.

After Wade entered the penalty area, he threw a freehand high, and Anthony, who followed up, took off and grabbed the ball to deliver a strong dunk.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei shook his head helplessly, the counterattack of the Mi Guo team just now was too fast, except for him, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu couldn't catch up with the rhythm of the Mi Guo team at all,

Roughly and Da Yao, the two inner lines have no advantage in the speed of returning to defense.

Once the United States team plays a defensive counterattack, relying on the current lineup of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, if you want to prevent the opponent from scoring in the defensive back, I am afraid there is only one way to make tactical fouls.

During the 08 Olympic Games in the original world, Lin Fei had a deep memory of the group stage between the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and the United States Dream Eight at that time.

The Celestial Empire men's basketball team was constantly counterattacked by the United States in the second half when it was physically overdrawn, and there was no way to do it at all.

The final defeat against Spain had a similar problem.

Now that he is really deep in the game with the United States team, Lin Fei feels the gap between the players of the two teams in terms of talent and basketball IQ.

In the subsequent attack, Lin Fei faced Wade's close defense at the top of the arc, directly changed the direction of a crossover to shake off the opponent, and accelerated the dribble to the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

It is precisely because Lin Fei has the ability to shoot three-point against the sky, so the defender will always subconsciously stick very close, and the obvious anti-shooting is not to prevent breakthroughs.

So even in the face of Wade, it is not difficult for Lin Fei to complete a breakthrough.

After entering the penalty area, in the face of Elton Brand's quick step forward to make up for the defense, Lin Fei threw the ball lightly into the air above the basket, and Da Yao flew up to eat cakes and dunk easily.

"Boom!"

With Lin Fei's two breakthrough dunks at the last moment of the semifinals, the Mi Guo Dream Seven team did not dare to completely let go of Lin Fei's breakthrough, because he obviously had the basic ability to break through to the basket.

In the opening game, the offense of the two teams went back and forth, and they quickly played their own styles.

Lin Fei and Wade did not give in to each other in the process of alignment, showing their respective talents to the fullest.

Celestial Empire (7) :(6) Rice Country.

The offensive end of the men's basketball team of the Celestial Empire relies on Lin Fei, Da Yao and roughly three people, while the Mi Guo team gives full play to the advantages of talent and singles.

Make a big fuss on the front line, let Anthony and Ray Allen play more ball-handling singles.

Anthony, Ray Allen and James and Wade are all very different, Anthony has a strong ability to shoot singles and mid-range jumpers, and Ray Allen's outside three-pointers are also a clear label.

So whether it is facing the singles defended by Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, or facing the four-star of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team,

Both melon and gentleman lei can play their respective values.

Just tonight, playing the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, this Mi Guo Dream Seven has the same hatred, and there is no arrogance and slackness and internal contradictions, and it is determined to avenge the shame of losing to the Celestial Empire men's basketball team in the semifinals of the 04 Yadian Olympics.

You must know that in the semifinals of the 04 Olympic Games, Lin Fei scored 26 points and 2 steals, and at the last moment, Wade's unexpected block made a dramatic assist.

In the sixth dream of the United States at that time, Wade, James, Anthony and Bosh are all there, and Lin Fei's lore can be said to have them always in mind.

After the first quarter of the game, "Melon" Anthony shot 4 of 5 and scored a team-high 9 points, and Ray Allen also hit two three-pointers.

Under Lin Fei's key care, Wade still contributed 4 points, 3 assists and 1 steal.

James and Brand also teamed up to grab 6 rebounds in the first quarter, and in terms of rebounding protection at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, they did not lose to the top three of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

Celestial Empire (19) :(27) Rice Country.

After the first quarter of the game, the United States team had already led the Celestial Empire men's basketball team by 8 points.

Lin Fei scored 6 points, 4 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and focused more on organizing and connecting teammates.

Da Yao and roughly scored a total of 10 points in a single quarter, and Zhu Fangyu also hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

After the start of the game in the second quarter, according to the requirements of rotation, Lin Feihe temporarily rested off the court for about 2 minutes, and the team was brought by roughly and the United Arab Emirates on the court.

Compared with the youth of 04, the United Arab Emirates has made significant progress in the past two years, but in the face of Howard and Bosh on the inside bench of the United States team, it is still not a little cheap.

Under the leadership of Chauncey Billups in the second quarter, the United States team quickly seized the opportunity and blasted a wave of 6:0 in less than 2 minutes, directly stopping the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

Among them, Billups forcibly cut off Liu Wei's breakthrough and chased a three-point shot, which made the bench of the United States team explode.

Many island country fans at the scene couldn't help but start cheering for the performance of the United States team.

"It seems that the overall strength gap between the Celestial Empire men's basketball team and the Mi Guo Mengqi is still too obvious, except for Lin and Yao on the Celestial Empire's side, there is no third existence that can compete with the star players of the Mi Guo team, and it can only be barely reluctant!"

"The game has just begun, and I believe that Lin will definitely break out quickly! Lin Ke in the 04 Olympics couldn't even dribble, and his defense was also very poor, and the Celestial Empire didn't beat the United States in the semifinals at that time? ”

"The Dream Six team in '04 was not united at all, let alone a head coach like Larry Brown, but in the end, he was only killed by Lin, otherwise he wouldn't have lost!"

"But this year's Dream Seven team is completely different, the 03 generation has risen rapidly, and there are two solid defenders in Billups and Ray Allen, plus the coaching staff is also good, isn't it a little bit stronger than the 04 Dream Six?"

Celestial Empire (19) :(33) Rice Kingdom.

The score difference was rapidly widened.

Younas had no other way, and he didn't dare to take risks, so he could only replace Lin Fei and Da Yao in advance.

After Lin Fei came on the court, he quickly switched to scoring mode, and compared Loops's close defense outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, the continuous dribbling changed direction sharply and quickly.

After seeing the opportunity, he suddenly stepped back and widened the distance, and met Billups, who was half a beat slower, and flew up and bent his bow and arrow, and shot another one with lightning shot.

"Huh!"

This ball has been defended well enough by Billups, but because of the constraints of talent, it is still a little worse than Wade.

In the subsequent attack, Lin Fei used Da Yao's blocking and dismantling cover, dislocated and accelerated to break through the basket, and faced a light board assist in the face of supplementary defense.

"Bang!"

Da Yao, who followed up, had a good heart, jumped up to catch the ball and sent a violent dunk.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei quickly contributed 3 points and 1 assist, and Dream Seven coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly replaced Wade, Ray Allen and Anthony.

Anthony felt really hot tonight, coming up to face Zhu Fangyu in the right axis area, and a turnaround jumper with the ball on his back.

"Huh!"

In the defense, Anthony also spread his hands to Zhu Fangyu, shrunk his neck and said provocatively:

"Zhu, it seems that you are indeed not suitable to play in the NBA, and the reason why the Mavericks signed you is entirely because of Lin's face!"

Zhu Fangyu was obviously annoyed by Anthony's trash talk, and clenched his fists fiercely with his temper.

Lin Fei came to the offensive end with the ball, continued to block and dismantle Da Yao at the top of the arc, and after misplaced to attract the bag, he gave the ball to Da Yao again near the free throw line.

James let go and rushed up to interfere with Da Yao's shot, Da Yao wanted to stuff the ball straight to the basket, but the ball passed a little casually and was slapped down by James.

"Smack!"

James, who hurriedly controlled the ball, dribbled sideways to avoid Da Yao's counter-grab, and saw Wade throw off Lin Fei and quickly go to the frontcourt, so he quickly passed the ball over.

However, Lin Fei, who was chasing Wade closely, flew up in front of Wade in the return defense, accurately judged the flight trajectory of the basketball, and shot down the basketball with his long arm, directly completing the counter-robbery.

"Whoosh!"

After landing, Lin Fei grabbed the basketball, stepped near the LOGO in the middle circle, took advantage of the fact that there was no interference three meters away in front of him, looked at the basket 13 meters away, took a deep breath, and directly rode a horse and shot an arrow to send a super long shot.

"Huh!"

In order to pursue the speed of the fast attack, James sent a risky pass, which allowed Lin Fei to complete a wonderful flying steal.

Or when James chose to pass the ball to Wade just now, he obviously underestimated Lin Fei's reaction speed and steal level.

Feeling a little embarrassed, James came to the offensive end, asked Wade for the ball to regain face, faced the misplaced defense of the United Arab Emirates, dribbled to the penalty area, and forced a shot against Da Yao.

"Bang dang!"

"Beep!"

The basketball pop misses, but the referee's whistle blows.

Just when James thought that this was blowing Da Yao's shooting foul and was about to go to the free throw line to prepare for the free throw, the referee's gesture made him jump like thunder in an instant.

Walking violation?

James was furious, opened his mouth, and chattered at the Asian referee:

"Am I walking? What international jokes? Lao Tzu has always played like this in the NBA, okay! You hillbilly! ”
