Although in the eyes of everyone, the overall basketball level of the Dragon Country is only at the middle and lower level in the world, and Spain has always been in the first echelon at the peak of the pyramid.

But Lin Dong's existence, as well as his performance at the Nike Summit, still made many people believe that this will be a battle of dragons and tigers, with 46 wins and losses, 4 dragons and 6 Spain...... Or 4.5, right?

And that was exactly the case, and the two sides battled it out until the end of the fourth quarter.

Team basketball in Spain is on full display.

With enough patience, reasonable tactical arrangement and good rhythm, coupled with only 2 mistakes in the whole game, the whole team is as perfect as a precision instrument, which is really breathtaking, and the overall strength is indeed a lot higher than that of the Dragon Kingdom.

Although relying on Lin Dong's heart role as the captain on the field, he always stabilized the defense line of the Dragon Kingdom like a needle of the sea god, which made Spain uncomfortable enough, but under the patient transmission of Spain, the number of mistakes made by other Dragon players was still relatively large, so that there were not many rounds of being defended by the Dragons.

And the 'four-wheeled carriage' offensive system driven by Lin Dong on the side of the Dragon Kingdom is also impressive.

Although it is far less gorgeous than Spain's team basketball, the tactics are relatively simple, with Lin Dong holding the ball and breaking through to create damage on the inside, forcing Spain to shrink the inside line to pinch and assist in defense, creating opportunities for the Dragons' outside line.

But you can't stand it efficiently......

On the outside, Zhu Fangyu's 3 points were 4 of 6 shots, Sun Yue was 3 of 5 shots, and Wang Shipeng, who was rotated on the court, shot 2 of 4, Zhang Qingpeng shot 1 of 2, Liu Ziqiu shot 1 of 1, and even the teenager Yi Jianlian also shot 2 of 3, and the shooting rate was over 50.

The team actually shot 13 of 21 from 3 points, and the overall 3-point shooting rate of 61% was quite perfect.

But everyone who understands can see that in addition to the fact that the young people of the Dragon Kingdom really feel hot today, it is really because the vacant seats pulled out by Lin Dong are too good.

Almost every time it is a big empty 3-point, so this shooting rate is obviously not because of good luck or extraordinary performance, but should be the normal strength of the Dragon Kingdom, that is, Spain's defensive ability is indeed too strong, and the defensive attitude is quite positive, otherwise the shooting rate may be further improved.

Compared with the opportunities that Spain needs to constantly transmit to create, Lin Dong has completed 70% of the work in the entire offensive system by himself, and it can only be said that his personal ability is too strong.

At the same time, Tang Zhengdong picked up 8 rebounds, including 6 frontcourt boards, and substitute center Moko scored 5 rebounds, and both of them had the ability to eat cakes under the basket, and they worked together to score 25 points on the inside, which was also one of the heroes.

And Lin Dong, although he only scored 23 points in the whole game, he had a terrifying 21 assists...... The Spaniard's defense obviously still has a certain effect on his defense, in addition to Marc Gasol's good single defense ability, the help of Reyes on the inside and Calderon on the outside at any time seems to have created a lot of trouble for Linton, so that he has almost no chance to play alone.

It's a pity that they couldn't stop his pass, and Spain also paid the price of being shot 13 3-pointers by someone other than Lin Dong on the outside.

The individual ability of the Dragon Country players may not be as good as the group of people in the international team at the Nike Summit, but the same tactics, under the guidance of a clearer tactical system and core, the overall combat power is not under those people.

Coupled with the advantage of the three points themselves, although it seemed that Spain was stronger overall, the score kept going up alternately, and by the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied again.

But......

A smile appeared on Chuck Daley's face, the first relatively big shortcoming of this Dragon Country Youth team was found, that is, the overall physical strength problem.

In the face of Spain's fierce defense and off-ball running, the physical exertion on the Dragons' side is still very large, although the 12-man rotation has basically been used, but it still can't reduce the fatigue of everyone on the field The shooting rate has begun to decline, and the tired appearance of panting has also appeared.

After Spain went through several rotations, it was the starting five tigers who were on the field at the beginning, using the 32 zone joint defense to defend Lin Dong strictly, Marc Gasol and Calderón were eyeing Lin Dong at the same time, two defenses and one defense, even if they gave the Dragons a certain opportunity to leak out.

This is to force Lin Dong to pass the ball to his teammates, and hand over the game to those teammates who have already had physical problems and their shooting percentage has begun to decline.

It's a trap, and with a significant drop in stamina and high pressure in the final crunch of the game, Chuck Daly doesn't think the other Dragons still have a consistent finishing ability.

At the same time, with Lin Dong's previous performance at the Nike Summit, physical strength problems led to a rapid decline in his singles ability in the fourth quarter, and it seems that he is destined to jump into the trap dug by the Spaniards.

Use the team to restrain Lin Dong and use physical strength to drag down the Dragon Kingdom, this is the way the Spaniards fight.

Does that Lin Dong still have the ability to break the game?

Chuck Daly was curious.

"Defend! Defend! Defend! The Spanish bench was waving a towel and shouting desperately.

The score on the electronic scoreboard was 92-92, with 32 seconds left in the game.

In Chuck Daley's view, the best choice for this ball against the dragon country is to control the ball steadily, first consume time and then play the success rate, so that there will not be much time left for Spain to attack in the next round, and the dragon country is still invincible.

For Spain, it is necessary to hold on to this goal, as long as it can be prevented, the initiative is completely in their own hands, even if they lose it, there is still a chance to counterattack, but do not foul.

The Spaniards obviously thought the same way, with Marc Gasol and Calderón opposite Lindon in front of him, both of whom were already gasping for air, but their hunger for victory was also growing, because they knew that the other side was more tired than them!

From the first quarter to the present, no matter how the lineup of the Dragon Country team is changed and matched, Lin Dong has never been replaced, and Lin Dong has always been the starting point of the Dragon Kingdom's attack.

In this case, if they choose two defenses and one defense, they don't believe that this guy can still have the ability to defy the sky!

But in the next second, the two of them saw the corners of Lin Dong's upturned mouth almost at the same time.

Frankly speaking, the last Nike summit still taught Lin Dong a big lesson.

It was too early to choose to open the zone against the U.S. team at the end of the third quarter, and he should have thought of more ways to mobilize his teammates more.

Then there will be no physical overdraft in the fourth quarter, and there will be no early fall out of the state of the zone, resulting in the final lack of ability to fully control the outcome of the game.

Those who score 50 points on the court, but throw the pot to their teammates at the last moment, will only be called a brush by the fans, and no one cares if you still have the stamina, that's your own problem.

And those who can take over the game and control the result of the game at a critical moment even if they only have two or thirty points in a game, are the real supergiants!

As the soul of a team, no matter what the circumstances, you should reserve your best state for yourself at the last moment, let yourself bear all the results, instead of letting your teammates who take one-tenth or even one percent of their salary bear the infamy.

Don't say that the score can't be dragged on, and it will be spent in advance, that is a problem that should be solved with normalcy, and if it can't be solved, it is not enough, not through overdraft.

Because you have to understand that there is no difference between losing early and losing at the end.

So I've only scored 23 points so far today...... In addition to the tactical side, the main choice is to focus on the tandem team and attack less, but more importantly, in order to retain the physical strength, state and zone until now.

Director Jiang's tactics are reserved, but he doesn't plan to have half a point reserve, defeating Spain is a worthwhile thing to do anyway!

Looking at the two people waiting in front of him, the corners of Lin Dong's mouth pulled up a smile.

Is two people enough?

Open!

His eyes suddenly became deep and serene, and the hearts of Marc Gasol and Calderón, who were staring at him in front of him, were inexplicable.

At this time, Calderon was on the left and Marc Gasol was on the right, and Lin Dong chose to take a left step without hesitation.

Changing direction?

Needless to say, with two people side by side in a defensive fan, changing direction doesn't help you open up space, what you really need to do is to use your speed to the extreme.

From the static state to the sudden entry into breakthrough mode, the pupils of Calderon and Gasol Jr. suddenly shrank.

It's been a whole game, but this speed is the first time they've felt it.

At this time, Lin Dong was as fast as a bolt of lightning, without the slightest reservation, and the moment he lowered his center of gravity, he had already rushed out.

Calderon desperately blocked it and was knocked into his arms by Lin Dong.

At this time, it was all about physical confrontation, Calderon's center of gravity was extremely stable, and he firmly blocked Lin Dong with his chest, abdomen and the arms of the horizontal bar, while Gasol Jr. strode sideways, staggering Calderon to go around the front defense.

But in the next second, Lin Dong turned sharply under Calderon's confrontation, and used his back and right arm to jam Calderon's lateral movement, and his body was already like a gust of wind, continuing to rush out from his left side.

Calderon's pupils contracted rapidly.

So fast! It's tough!

Where did this guy get his physical strength and this sudden outburst?!

At this time, Gasol Jr.'s body was circling in front of him, but it helped Lin Dong block Calderon's retreat route, and the defense of the two turned into mutual interference.

Swish!

Lin Dong rushed over in two big strides, left the two people who were already huddled together, and killed the basket!

Tang Zhengdong and others in front of him had already opened up the space under his signal, and the big forward Reyes wanted to make up for it to help defend, but it was meaningless in front of Lin Dong, who had already rushed up, and jumped high against Reyes, and slammed the lever with a change of hand!

At 94:92, Lin Dong officially kicked off the singles mode.

In Spain's offensive round, the Dragons chose to mark the whole court.

Judging from the difference in the individual abilities of the players on both sides, this is undoubtedly a 'hole-in-the-box' tactic.

Reyes sent the ball from the baseline, Calderon made a long pass to Fernandez at the midline, and Fernandez passed to Gimenez under the basket, and the basketball reached the front court basket in just two or three seconds.

This time, the conduction was extremely smooth and extremely fast.

Jimenez received the ball and had a shooting action, and after picking up Zhu Fangyu, who was defending him, he paused slightly, and then jumped high.

But in the next second, with the exclamations of the whole Espanyol team, Gimenez only felt a train rushing towards him on the left!

Before the car arrived, the pressure of persecution formed by the momentum was already like two bright headlights on the locomotive, shaking his heart.

Swish!

In a hurry, the basketball shot and grabbed a time difference, but this 'time difference' obviously only existed in his imagination.

A pegboard hat slapped the basketball, bouncing the ball off the rebound.

Lin Dong!

Jimenez was shocked and angry, and there was a huge question mark in his head.

After Lin Dong scored the goal just now, Reyes ran over to pick up the ball almost non-stop, and after that, Calderón and Fernandez did not have half a point of sticky ball rapid conduction, and when it reached his hands, it was only four or five seconds from Lin Dong's goal just now, but that guy had already rushed back from the front court to defend? !

This is a goal and starting to run back with all your might?! What kind of fairy-like sense of prediction and retreat consciousness......

Zhu Fangyu jumped up to take the rebound and passed to Sun Yue, and the Longguo team only stabilized the rhythm a little, and saw that Lin Dong had rushed to the front court again.

Spain's formation at this point is a bit out of shape.

In fact, whether it was the offense just now or the current defense, the Spanish players on the field, who still maintained absolute calmness after playing the whole game, did not realize that their original formation and team rhythm had been disrupted.

Spain has been playing a positional battle all the time, but in front of Lin Dong's sudden outburst just now, the score falling behind near the end of the game, and the man-marking tactics of the dragon country that seem to be very easy to break through, the Spaniards who want to hurry up to grab points are obviously a little lost their usual calm.

Not only did the offensive end give up the positional battle and start a fast attack, giving Lin Dong the opportunity to make up for the big hat, but the defensive end that retreated at this time obviously failed to fully keep up with the rhythm.

Lin Dong rushed up empty-handed, used his speed and agility to shake off the marking Marc Gasol and cut straight to the basket.

For this guy's sudden outburst, the Spaniards are obviously taboo, the big forward Reyes on the left, and Fernandez, who is defending on the right, all subconsciously made up for the defense at the same time, wanting to pinch Lin Dong, but Sun Yue passed straight to Tang Zhengdong, who was missed by Reyes.

Tang Zhengdong made a solid mid-range open jumper and scored 2 points.

96:92！ There are 21 seconds left.

An empty-handed Lin Dong actually attracted the bag of three Spaniards, so that the position in the penalty area was completely lost.

"Look at your people! You idiot! The Spanish coach was so angry that he jumped on the sidelines, but to be honest, that is, to scold and vent, he also knew very well in his heart that if this ball was not defended, it would just count Tang Zhengdong's score on Lin Dong's head, and he would cut to such a position, and the pass would go in!

"Hold your ground and hit one first! There is still time, don't rush! ”

It's a pity that Lin Dong didn't give the Spaniards a chance to stabilize.

Calderon just held the ball, and before he crossed the halfway, Lin Dong had already directly pushed it up.

The true legend of the glove, death entangled!

The extra-long arms are constantly trying to cut his ball and create all the interference in his ball control, which makes Calderon feel like he has a thousand hands at this moment, and his every move may be intercepted and interrupted by one of the opponent's hands!

And the physical confrontation is also an all-round loss, 190 cm and 86 kg body, facing Lin Dong's 198 cm and 93 kg body, the physical confrontation between the two is not at the same level at all.

Calderon didn't move, feeling that under the sudden super pressure of the other party, he didn't want to move forward, and even felt that he was pushed backwards by the other party!

At this time, my brain was buzzing with a full sense of pressure, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat.

Fernandez quickly ran to his right to catch it, and Lin Dong's defense also 'happened' to shift to the left at this time, and even seemed to reach out to Calderón's left side.

Calderón seized the opportunity and immediately passed the ball towards Fernandez.

Can be ...... in the next second

Syllable!

A large hand intercepted the pass with unmistakable accuracy, as if Calderón's intentions had already been seen through.

Or Lin Dong!

The center of gravity to the left is just an illusion that Fernandez deliberately left Calderón after he stepped forward to answer.

The offense and defense were easy to turn in an instant, Lin Dong held the ball and shot to the basket in one step, but Calderon couldn't catch up.

Fernandez was shocked and stepped forward to defend, but was surrounded by Lin Dong's man-ball and a dreamy step, and the European step opened.

Swish!

The basketball was gently picked into the net by him, and then again!

98：92！ There are 15 seconds left!

Fernandes was stunned, Calderón was stunned, and the voices of the Spanish bench shouting 'defend' were suddenly extinguished.

From 31 seconds to 15 seconds, a total of just 16 seconds, the score was instantly stretched from a tie to as many as 6 points!

This......

Did Spain play problematicly?

Of course, there are still some, such as being led by Lin Dong when he attacked the last ball, giving up positional battles and choosing to attack quickly.

But to be honest, in that situation, even if you give a professional player a hundred choices, I am afraid that a hundred times will still choose to break fast, and if you don't score, you will be crushed by someone's personal ability and awareness.

Another example is the 'mishap' pass just now, which was cut off...... LeBron in the stands of the American team couldn't help but get goosebumps, as if recalling the terrible scene of being tackled one after another by this guy's devilish defense in the supersonic arena.

Chuck Daley looked at Lin Dong in surprise, who was in the most active state of the whole game.

It's been a full four quarters, and you still have so much stamina to complete two full-court turnaround sprints in an instant and complete the oppressive death-winding defense against Calderon?

Such a monster, a problem with physical strength? Where did he get his physical problems? I feel that Lin Dong at this moment is in better condition than when he first came on the field!

Doom East!

Smack!

Lin Dong clapped his hands excitedly at the Spaniard.

“come on！” He shouted loudly, igniting the passion of the Japanese fans in the audience and making them shout wildly, but he also directly extinguished Spain's last fighting spirit.

The Spaniards all panted and looked at this dragon man who thought he had no physical strength, but was now in a state, and suddenly remembered the rumor on the Internet in the United States some time ago.

- In LeBron's fake fall incident, it was Lin Dong who was really injured! You see his state at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, how fierce, but after the collision, he obviously didn't rush so fast, Lin Dong was fighting with injuries, he was the real tough guy!

- Fart, that's the Asian himself, what tough guy? Don't make excuses here!

But now it seems...... Who's making excuses?

…… With 15 seconds to play and six points behind, the Spaniards were powerless.

As Fernandez hit a 3-point jumper, Tang Zhengdong picked up the rebound, passed Lin Dong, and shot into the net from a 3-point distance shot from Gasol Jr. who stepped back after a sharp stop.

At 101:92, the remaining 5 seconds of the game were completely turned into garbage time.

Spain did not choose to attack after sending the baseline ball, Calderón held the ball in his hand, looked at the intimidating dragon countryman, and quietly waited until the end of the game time.

fought the whole game, and thought that the last 31 seconds would be climaxed, but the guy in front of him quickly flattened it with the momentum of the wind and falling leaves.

At this moment, Calderón felt like he really saw Jordan.

Honk!

The whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Long Guosheng! Win the first battle!

Let's start with a big chapter, and there will be a change in the afternoon

(End of chapter)
