China (73): (67) United States.
But even if the lead reaches 6 points, the fans at home and abroad are still very nervous at this time, with their hearts in their throats.
After all, the opponent is now the powerful United States Dream Six. Even though they lost two games in the group stage, no fan dares to doubt the terrifying strength of this team.
After Dayao made the free throw, he was still clutching his chest and frowning. It was obvious that he was hit hard by LeBron James.
Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, James is really too strong.
You must know that James's weight as a rookie has reached 110 kilograms, equivalent to 250 pounds, before gaining weight. This is a stockier weight than many big centers.
By the time James was in the Cavaliers 2.0 era, his weight had reached as high as 128 kilograms. That was also the peak period of the little emperor's personal strength.
Del Harris quickly replaced Dayao with a bus and asked the team doctor to check Dayao's chest condition.
If there is a rib fracture, it will be a big problem and the game will definitely not continue.
Tonight, Dayao almost played the first three quarters and only rested for 1 minute in total. He was really tired.
But there was nothing Harris could do. He wanted to stabilize the score and not be overtaken by the United States, so he always held his breath in fear. If Yao played, the zone defense would be quickly broken by the United States.
This Olympic semifinal match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team has attracted enthusiastic attention from fans all over the world.
Not only did more than 100 million domestic fans stay up late to watch the live broadcast, tens of millions of people in the United States also watched.
European countries are in prime time, and more than 100 million fans are watching the live broadcast of the game, including millions of Chinese overseas Chinese and Chinese.
There are also hundreds of overseas Chinese in Sheila who came to Yadian Olympic Basketball Stadium to watch this focus game tonight.
Being able to watch one's own national basketball team play in a foreign country, and also in the semifinals against the United States in the Olympics, is a pride in itself.
"Don't let anything happen to Dayao. Without him, our Tianchao Men's Basketball Team would lose the last line of insurance in the penalty area!"
"This James is really strong. He deserves to be called the strongest No. 1 pick in the past ten years!"
"There are still more than 9 minutes left. A 6-point advantage is not guaranteed. We must play steadily and actively and concentrate on every zone defense!"
"Although Lin Fei scored 18 points in the first half, he was choked to death in the third quarter. Isn't it time for him to explode in this last quarter?"
"Yeah, Lin Fei can't hit a three-pointer. It's really difficult for us to resist the crazy counterattack of the American team in the last quarter!"
"To be honest, the two Greek referees tonight are really good, and the whistle blowing is in our favor!"
"Haha, we owed us a lot in the last game against Greece. The Olympic men's basketball referee team found out in conscience. Can we make up for it with the United States this time?"
On the court.
Sure enough, here Dayao was being examined by the team doctor on the sidelines, and Iverson relied on his personal ability to directly pass Lin Fei to the basket, and made a difficult layup that caused a foul on Bus's shooting hitter.
The basketball bounced on the rim a few times and then settled into the net.
"Uh-huh!"
"Beep!"
2+1.
Seeing Daba being beaten 2+1 by Iverson as soon as he came on the field, Lin Fei couldn't help but frown. Daba's defensive ability and enthusiasm were not comparable to Dayao.
"Uh-huh!"
Iverson, who stepped to the free throw line, also made the extra free throw, and the American team quickly chased the point difference to 3 points.
Dayao, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt that the pain in his chest had eased a lot. He quickly stood up and prepared to play at the next dead ball time.
After examination by the team doctor, Dayao did not have any rib fractures in his chest. He was just hit a bit hard by James. He lost his breath for a while and could continue to play.
Del Harris looked solemn, stretched out his hand to hold Dayao's shoulder and said: "Yao, you have to rest for at least two minutes before playing. You must trust your teammates!"
Dayao gritted his teeth and nodded, quickly sat down to rest, but his eyes kept looking at the situation on the field.
The Chinese team attacked and Liu Wei advanced with steady dribbling.
After being teased and getting a nosebleed at the beginning of tonight's game, Liu Weiren seemed to be in high spirits. He learned his shame and gained courage. He was no longer timid or nervous in front of this group of American stars.
Using his body to resist Marbury's pressing, Liu Wei changed his crotch and used Lin Fei's lift to cover, quickly bypassing the defense, and gave the ball to a high position with his back to resist Boozer's rough.
Boozer's defense was very tough, and it was very uncomfortable to press against his lower body. His knees pressed against his legs to prevent him from turning around easily, and he also kept making small movements with his hands.
He basically tried to confuse Boozer with continuous headbutts and back-stepping. In terms of delicate footwork and technique, he was obviously better than Yao, but he didn't have the advantage in physical talent.
But Boozer is also very experienced. After facing each other for most of the game, he has already figured out the general offensive routine. With the defense adapted to local conditions, he only scored 2 points in the entire third quarter.
At this time, Lin Fei suddenly withdrew his strength and ran back against Iverson. In fact, there was an opportunity at this time, but he did not dare to take the risk of passing the ball.
Borrowing a ball-holding screen from the high position on the right, Lin Fei rushed straight to the right at a 0-degree angle. This time Iverson chased closely and bypassed the opponent early, and his speed was faster.
The defensive tactics Phillip Saunders deployed against Lin Fei in the final quarter were always to not change defense when seeing a screen, but to pursue directly around the screen, or to double-team and hold the ball inside.
Because it was obvious that the core of the Tianchao team's offense in the second half fell on the Twin Towers, and Lin Fei played more of a role in using movement to involve the defense.
The opportunity didn't come up this time, so he basically had no choice but to turn around and shoot hard after taking a feint step, and missed the ball.
"Clang!"
Under the basket, two Spurs teammates, Bus and Duncan, collided and competed for rebounds.
During his time with the Spurs, Daba imitated O'Neal as a sparring partner for Duncan for a long time, and he also had a full understanding of Duncan's technical characteristics.
This time tonight, Daba was obviously more active in fighting for this rebound. Coupled with his stronger body, he got a key offensive rebound against Duncan.
"Snapped!"
However, Daba's skills were too rough. Duncan reached out to his side and knocked the basketball out of Daba's hand.
The two men bent over and rushed to fight for the ball, falling to the ground and entangled with each other.
With his better body flexibility and flexibility, Duncan took the lead in seizing the ball from Bus and quickly distributed the ball to Boozer while lying on the ground.
Marbury wanted to get rid of Liu Wei and receive a pass from Boozer, but Liu Wei gritted his teeth and pursued the defense aggressively, giving Marbury no chance to easily catch the ball.
Marbury dodged again, but Boozer stopped looking. When he saw Iverson, who was about to leave, was also being chased by Lin Fei, he did not choose to pass the ball, and directly changed direction in front of his body. Open the fast break with a rough dribble.
Chasing after Boozer, he tried to get the ball from his side, causing Boozer to dodge with the basketball hitting his feet and rolling out.
"Whoosh!"
Without any hesitation, the tall body jumped directly from the goal and flew towards the basketball rolling toward the midline.
"boom!"
The ball fell heavily to the ground with both hands tightly grasping the basketball, and Boozer quickly caught up with him and bent down to fight for it.
The referee did not blow the whistle. At this time, Lin Fei just chased Iverson to the center line, and the man who fell to the ground to save was roughly at his feet.
At the critical moment, Lin Fei quickly stopped and turned around, and with a roar, he passed the ball with difficulty amid Boozer's scramble.
It was almost a ground ball. Lin Fei took a step forward and bent down to pick up the basketball. He was completely standing on the center line. He took advantage of the chaos without stopping. He stood up and suddenly jumped up. He decisively shot a three-pointer from far away in the half court.
Iverson quickly turned over and rushed forward, but he still suffered from the disadvantage of height.
The basketball flew through the air 14 meters above the ground. Under the horrified eyes of the players from both teams, it flew straight into the net.
"Uh-huh!"
sixth.
As Lin Fei hit his sixth three-pointer tonight, his score also reached 23 points.
Still the highest in the game.
Although there were only a few Tianchao fans at the scene, the cheers at this time were loud and powerful.
Because many fans in Europe and Greece have gradually begun to defect and support the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.
So far in tonight's game, the American team has not shown its strength and grace as the world's basketball hegemon. Instead, the Chinese men's basketball team has defeated the United States in a united, hard-working and high-spirited manner.
More relatively neutral foreign fans have begun to support the Chinese men's basketball team.
Dayao, who was sitting on the sidelines, also jumped up with his teammates on the bench, pumping his fists and shouting to boost morale.
For Lin Fei's three-pointer, and also for Bus and Da's active fighting.
Marbury was obviously dissatisfied with Boozer's decision to dribble quickly. He rushed up and scolded him coldly:
"Are you a guard? Dribbling the ball on your own for a fast break? Why don't you pass it to me and Allen immediately?"
Although the co-captains of this American Dream Six are Iverson and Duncan, Marbury is also an NBA veteran at the same time as the two captains. There is no need to worry about scolding a junior who has only played in the NBA for two years.
Boozer ignored Marbury with a cold face and resisted the urge to yell back at the opponent, but he was also dissatisfied in his heart, secretly thinking that he didn't have enough possessions tonight?
Marbury did not play well tonight. Under the strict zone defense strategy of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, he made 3 of 11 shots and only scored 7 points.
Flip Saunders originally considered replacing Marbury with Wade in the final quarter, but Marbury is, after all, a very important star in this American team.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and to be on the safe side, we chose to let Marbury continue to partner with Iverson.
This is also the shortcoming of the seniority ranking in the American Dream Six. It is like an NBA game. No matter how good the backup guard is, the main star still has to be the main star at the critical decisive moment.
Boozer is also a proud and arrogant man. At the same time, he also has a special status in this American dream team, that is, he is the only white player.
For Iverson and Duncan, Boozer was still convinced, but for Marbury, a well-known cancer of the team, Boozer did not like him at all.
The internal conflicts of this American team are not limited to this.
The American team attacks.
Lin Fei continued to lead the 122 zone defense, limiting Iverson's breakthrough.
This time the ball was passed to Marion, who was squatting in the right corner. The latter took a wide open shot, but there was no impact.
"Clang!"
The American team's outside three-point shooting was very poor tonight, making only 2 of 11 shots in total. This is also one of the important reasons why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to lead until the end of the quarter.
After all, three-pointers have a lot of luck involved. The reason why the United States eliminated Spain in the last 8-4 game was because they made 12 three-pointers in the game and shot through Spain's goal Zone defense.
Outside firepower has always been the most effective way to break the zone defense. It is precisely because of this that Kevin Durant in the later period became the biggest weapon of the American team in the international arena.
If they can't shoot from outside, the stars of the American team will easily fall into passivity. Coupled with emotional imbalance, their performance will often be worse.
The defensive rebounds were roughly captured, and the Chinese team maintained a steady pace and played positional battles.
Bus's hook shot under the basket was missed by Duncan, and the rebound was firmly taken by Duncan, allowing Marbury to advance quickly.
But this time Liu Wei was standing in a very critical position. Perhaps because of his emotional agitation, Marbury turned over in a hurry after receiving Duncan's pass, and directly knocked Liu Wei to the ground.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and Marbury was called for an offensive collision foul.
The number of fouls had already arrived, and Liu Wei was sent to the free throw line to execute two free throws.
Marbury was furious, but he could only hold back his emotions.
If the American Dream Team starts to complain that the referee's whistle is unfair and cannot fight back with a strong performance on the field, then they themselves have already begun to fall from the altar.
Liu Wei was hit hard by Marbury this time, and blood flowed out of his nose again.
But he still stood on the free throw line after quickly stopping the bleeding, and made both free throws.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
Phillip Sanders couldn't sit still anymore and quickly called a timeout.
The cheers from the fans from all over the world became more and more intense.
Although Dayao rested off the court, the Tianchao men's basketball team not only was not forced to close the score during this period, but even extended the lead to 8 points.
The momentum of a dark horse in the sky and a dark horse in the end has been fully demonstrated.
Del Harris was so excited that he high-fived every player as he walked off the court.
As a famous American coach, if he can lead the Chinese men’s basketball team to defeat his country’s dream team in the Olympics,
I believe Del Harris will also leave a mark on the world of basketball.
If it is finally realized, it will not only mean that the Chinese men’s basketball team has secured a medal for the first time in Olympic history, but
At the same time, it also caused the United States team to lose in the knockout stage of the Olympic men's basketball competition for the first time since 1992, and missed the gold medal.
Liu Wei also came off the court excitedly and high-fived Dayao, Li Nan, Hu Xuefeng, Ah Lian and others who came on the bench.
Although there were two blood surges tonight, Liu Wei's state of mind was completely different between the first and second time.
So far, Liu Wei has also scored 5 points and 3 assists.
In addition to the three giants of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, Li Nan and Arab League have also scored.
China (78): (70) United States.
On the timer, there are still 7 minutes and 19 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.
As long as it lasts the last 7 minutes and 19 seconds, the Tianchao men's basketball team can make history again.
But it is obviously impossible for the American team to give up just now.
It is precisely because they lost two games in the group stage that this time the United States needs to complete its goal and win the gold medal, so that they can keep their last shameless pants.
But it’s one thing for everyone to want to win, and it’s another thing to have conflicts and unity issues within the team.
No matter how strong your personal ability is, it will eventually be no match for your opponent's tightly united defense. In the final analysis, basketball is always a sport of five people.
Pause back.
Dayao came on the field, and the Tianchao men’s basketball team re-sent the starting five at the last minute:
Liu Wei, Lin Fei, Zhu Fangyu, Da Da, and Dayao.
Flip Saunders of the American team withstood the pressure and asked Wade to replace Marbury, who was in poor condition tonight. After all, Marbury had already accumulated 4 fouls and would be expelled if he committed another foul.
At the same time, Jefferson was replaced by Marion.
Marion made 0 of 3 wide-open three-pointers tonight and couldn't get into the penalty area, which is really bad.
And with a technical foul, Marion also committed 4 fouls. Staying on the court is also a hidden danger.
According to FIBA's rules, technical fouls and other fouls are accumulated together. As long as five fouls are committed, the player will leave the game.
NBA rules are that personal fouls and technical fouls must be counted separately. A total of 6 ejections for personal fouls and a total of 2 ejections for technical fouls.
On the inside, Duncan and Boozer are still paired together.
Iverson, Wade, Jefferson, Boozer, Duncan.
When Wade came up, he faced Lin Fei and broke into the penalty area, but the young man was still young after all. He faced Dayao's difficult layup and naturally missed.
"Snapped!"
The rebound was caught by Dayao, and the Tianchao team continued to maintain a steady rhythm and stall for time.
Although the offensive end was deflated, Wade was more active defensively, much better than Marbury.
Lin Fei and Dayao held the ball at the top of the arc and continued to play pick-and-rolls. After the mismatch, Wade quickly let go of Lin Fei and Duncan and double-teamed Dayao.
Dayao handled the ball hastily again and was cut off by Wade.
"Snapped!"
Lin Fei retreated quickly, trying to stop Wade's fast break, but Mizongbu was too elusive. In addition, Wade had rested for enough time and was full of energy.
This ball couldn't be guarded at all, and Lin Fei could only decisively foul Wade.
"Snapped!"
Because this is a tactical foul for going around to the front, it is not considered an infraction.
In addition, the total number of fouls committed by the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team in the second half had 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 American team served from the sideline and attacked again. Iverson broke through and passed the ball to Duncan. The latter's mid-range jump shot was still a little short of sight and missed.
"Clang!"
The offensive rebound was obtained by Boozer. Under the general defensive cover, there was no strong attack, but it was given to Iverson again.
After Iverson attracted double-teams, he once again passed the ball to Jefferson, who was squatting in the 0-degree open space. This time, Jefferson seized the opportunity and made a steady three-pointer.
"Uh-huh!"
Dayao's hook shot under the basket was not interfered by Duncan. The American team grabbed the rebound and counterattacked. Taking advantage of the unsteady defense of the Chinese men's basketball team, Iverson went straight to the basket and pulled up a layup to score two more points.
"Uh-huh!"
After a wave of 5:0, the American team also quickly chased the point difference to 3 points.
When the Chinese team attacked, Dayao continued to play pick-and-roll with Lin Fei at the top of the arc. This time Wade and Duncan still adopted a decisive double-team strategy, completely leaving Lin Fei open.
Dayao was already prepared and passed the ball with difficulty from the double team between the two.
But the quality of the pass was not high. Lin Fei bent his body to receive the ball, without hesitation, and took off decisively from outside the three-point line.
"Clang!"
The ball missed, and the American team launched a counterattack. Wade took Iverson's breakaway layup and was as sharp as a sword. Lin Fei struggled to catch up, but was still half a step too late.
"Uh-huh!"
The score difference came to 1 point.
crucial moment.
Zhu Fangyu, who was left open on the outside, made another contribution. After receiving the ball from the outside, he took an open shot and hit the three-pointer against the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
This is Zhu Fangyu’s third three-pointer tonight, and it is also the fourth point of firepower output of the Tianchao men’s basketball team, besides Lin Fei, Dayao and Su Yu.
Because Jefferson was eager to double-team and roughly cut off the ball in the opponent's hands, he completely let Zhu Fangyu go.
The defensive choice for this ball was too risky. Duncan, who was always known for his stability when returning to defense, reminded Jefferson in a low voice.
But Jefferson didn't respond to Duncan with a cold face. The Nets were beaten by the Spurs in the Finals last year, and Jefferson's emotions were somewhat personal.
Of course, Jefferson's personal condition in this national team was very poor, his playing time was gradually reduced, and he was also taken away from the starting position by Marion, and his mentality was also bad.
Many players are not used to the tactical style of the American Dream Six. Jefferson has become accustomed to partnering with point guard masters like Jason Kidd in the Nets.
Now in the national team, there are two ball tyrants, Iverson and Marbury. Naturally, they are not in a good state.
Zhu Fangyu's key three-pointer allowed the Tianchao men's basketball team to regain a 4-point lead.
But the American team's attack wave has become more and more fierce.
Iverson missed a difficult layup when he broke through the basket, but Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in.
"Uh-huh!"
It's roughly the same as Dayao's high and low pick-and-roll. After retreating to the outside, he missed the three-pointer after catching the ball.
"Clang!"
The American team once again launched a lightning counterattack. Liu Wei had no choice but to foul and sent Iverson to the free throw line.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
As Iverson made both free throws, the American team officially tied the score.
On the timer, there are only 3 minutes and 22 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.
China (81): (81) United States.
In less than 4 minutes, the American team used a crazy 11:3 wave, constantly speeding up the defensive counterattack, and completely destroyed the defense of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The fans of the Chinese athletes and the Chinese fans in the audience all looked solemn at this time and were extremely worried in their hearts.
Del Harris also quickly called a long timeout, reminding the players that they must play steadily and not give the American team a chance to counterattack the fast break.
"In the last three minutes, on the offensive end, we must attack the basket more and grab offensive rebounds instead of shooting three-pointers from the outside. The long rebounds that pop up in this way can easily give the American team an opportunity to easily counterattack the fast break. !”
"After half a month of perseverance, we finally have the most important three minutes for the Tianchao men's basketball team. Don't think about the current score, work hard to play every attack and defend every time!"
"Believe in every teammate around you, and remember, only by uniting can we have a chance to win the final victory!"
In Tianchao's fifth live broadcast room, the atmosphere was equally solemn.
Director Zhang's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and sweat was already pouring from his hands.
"The American team's offensive is so strong. At critical moments, the huge gap in strength will be difficult to make up for!"
Host Yang Jian asked: "Coach Zhang, in your opinion, after this timeout, what adjustments should the Tianchao men's basketball team make in order to play well in the last three minutes?"
Director Zhang frowned and analyzed: "It's easy to say it, but it's hard to sit up!"
"There are two main points. First, open up the situation on the offensive end and work hard to score!"
"The second is to block the American team's fast break on the defensive end, and strictly arrange the 1-2-2 zone defense to limit the opponent's scoring!"
Yang Jian: "This..., okay, what Director Zhang said is very reasonable!"
Although the time in the Imperial Capital has reached 4 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of millions of fanatical fans are still waiting in front of the TV sets across the country, with nervous hearts in their throats.
On Yahoo and the groom's major sports forums, there are also endless comments about the match between United States and China.
"This is tied? The sixth player in the American team is so damn strong!"
"The American team's method of double-teaming the inside ball holder is really good. Yao Yao couldn't pass the ball several times!"
"In terms of high-position support ability, Dayao really can't compare with Kevin Garnett. This must be admitted!"
"No matter how bad it is, Dayao already has 6 assists tonight, another near triple-double!"
"If you can't beat the United States, let alone a triple-double, what's the point of even a real triple-double?"
"Why panic? So what if the American team ties up? I believe our Chinese boys will definitely fight with all their strength until the last minute!"
"Heaven will win, China will win!"
In the Sanlitun Bar Street near the Imperial Workers Stadium, a luxurious underground bar was crowded with people. Even though it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, it was still bustling.
At this time, the big TV screen was naturally showing the focus of the semi-final match between China and the United States. In the last three minutes, countless fans in the bar were extremely nervous.
This bar is quite famous in the imperial capital and has connections in the Beijing circle, so it also secretly sets up internal gambling.
A huge poster promoting the game was also temporarily posted on the wall inside the bar. Players such as Lin Fei, Dayao, Shou, Iverson, and Duncan all appeared on the poster.
However, this poster was made by Tianchao fans after all, in order to cheer up Tianchao men’s basketball team.
The C position of the poster is for Yao in the center, with Lin Fei and Yu Yu on the left and right respectively, and Iverson and Duncan on the outside.
At first glance, the two NBA superstars Iverson and Duncan have completely become the foils of the Chinese Big Three, and the visual effect is full.
Tonight's focus battle has been promoted to an unprecedented height. You must know that the women's volleyball team's victory in the Olympic Games has become a symbol of memory and time for all the people of China.
And now the Chinese men's basketball team, which has far more attention and fan base than the women's volleyball team, faces the United States, the world's basketball hegemon, in the semifinals, which is a big event that everyone is passionate about.
In a sense, this game even has a certain political role.
Therefore, the fans in the bar who were under the influence of alcohol naturally bet money before the game, and most of them supported the Tianchao men's basketball team to win the game.
After all, the odds are higher, and it also expresses patriotic enthusiasm.
"In the last three minutes, the men's basketball team must hold on. I bet more than 20,000 yuan!"
"Give Lin Fei the ball, let Lin Fei shoot three-pointers, damn these American guys!"
"We still need to reduce outside shots. At critical moments, the efficiency of the two inside towers is the highest. We must actively rush for rebounds!"
At this moment, a bald middle-aged man walked to the dance floor of the bar, picked up a microphone and shouted loudly:
"If the Chinese Men's Basketball Team wins tonight, I will pay for everyone's expenses alone! Let's cheer for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team together!"
Cheers were everywhere, and all the men and women in the audience shouted, "Come on China, China will win."
"Waiter, bring me another bottle of 1982 Lafite!"
"I want two more bottles of XO and five medium-rare Italian tomahawk steaks..."
This bald middle-aged man was the owner of a coal mine in Xishan. He was drunk at this time. He returned to the front row booth with the help of two bodyguards in suits. Accompanying him was a well-known actress in the entertainment industry. .
The coal boss looked up at the game on the TV. After the timeout, the United States and China had already begun the decisive battle in the last three minutes.
In his excitement, he threw another dozen bills onto the bandstand next to him and shouted:
"Play me a song called "Broader Sea and Sky" by Beyond. Once this song is finished, the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team will win!"
The audience cheered again, and the familiar singing voice also slowly sounded under the performance of the bar's resident band, directly touching the soul:
"Today, I watched the snow drifting by in the cold night, floating far away with a chilled heart..."
His eyes returned to Yadian.
Players from both teams reappeared after the timeout.
The decisive battle in the last 3 minutes was about to begin.
This lineup of the American team is very effective in chasing points. Naturally, Flip Saunders has no choice to make another substitution.
For the Chinese team, Del Harris made adjustments and replaced Liu Wei with veteran Li Nan to strengthen the offensive firepower.
At the final critical moment, veterans are naturally less likely to make mistakes.
Dayao took the ball in the low post, turned over and hooked Duncan, and this time he got it.
"Uh-huh!"
Until the final moment, Yao had made 8 of 15 shots tonight, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. His performance was very comprehensive.
Just because of physical problems, the offensive efficiency in the second half was obviously not as good as the first half.
Not only Dayao, but also Lin Fei and Da Yao also have this problem.
If the role players hadn't stepped up in the second half, the Chinese team would have probably been defeated by the American team.
When the American team attacked, Iverson faced Lin Fei's leading defense. After a sharp crossover, he shook off his opponent and decisively shot a two-pointer from the high post.
"Uh-huh!"
This ball also hit.
In the final moment of the decisive battle, Iverson's whole body showed a strong fighting spirit, and his touch became hot.
"Lin, although you may have scored more points than me tonight, the victory must belong to us!"
So far, Iverson has made 7 of 16 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He has scored the highest 18 points on the American team, plus 3 assists and 2 steals.
With Lin Fei's current defensive strength, there is really nothing that can be done about Iverson's emergency stop high jump shot after shaking off the defender.
The reason why Iverson didn't score much tonight is because of his poor overall touch.
The Chinese men's basketball team was still anxious to compete with the American Dream Six at the last moment, and the factors were very complicated.
Although the gap in strength is huge, the Tianchao men's basketball team plays more united and has stronger tactical execution.
At the same time, coupled with the poor overall feel of the American team, internal player conflicts, and the referee's proper care of the Chinese men's basketball team,
Various comprehensive factors allow the Chinese men's basketball team to be on par with the American men's basketball team and not fall behind.
Dayao continued to get the ball in the low post, but this time Duncan's interference was crucial.
"Clang!"
Dayao missed the shot, everyone grabbed the rebound and went out of bounds, and the referee awarded the American team a backcourt ball.
Iverson repeated his old trick, but this time Li Nan let go of Wade and came up quickly, successfully interfering with Iverson's shot.
Wade's mid-range and long-range shots were also selectively released. The Chinese men's basketball team was sure that Iverson would not pass the ball easily at the last moment.
"Clang!"
The basketball missed, Dayao and Duncan competed for the rebound. This time the ball went out of bounds again, and it was in the backcourt of the Tianchao men's basketball team.
In the next two offensive and defensive rounds, as the level of defense improved, neither China nor the United States scored. On the timer, the game also entered the critical last minute.
China (83): (83) United States.
When the American team attacked, Iverson still went his own way at the last moment and hit Lin Fei with a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line.
Iverson's choice was something Lin Fei didn't expect, so he didn't have time to interfere with any defense.
"Uh-huh!"
With this ball, even though Iverson made 0 of 4 three-pointers in the game, at the critical moment, he used a decisive outside shot to complete his redemption.
The American team instantly led by 3 points.
China (83): (86) United States.
On the timer, there were only the last 0 minutes and 42 seconds left before the end of regular time.
Iverson also used his first three-pointer tonight to bring his personal score to 22 points, only one point behind Lin Fei's 23 points.
Iverson, who is returning to defense, is confident, calm and mature. In front of the younger generation, this achievement is indeed nothing to show off, but the trash talk must not be less:
"Lin, I'm really sorry. Not only do I want to win tonight, I also want to score more points than you!"
"Can the zone defense restrain me? It's all bullshit!"
Facing Iverson's unruly attitude, Lin Fei's eyes became cold. In times of crisis, he knew he had to stand up.
Del Harris was reluctant to call the last long timeout, and could only pray in his heart that the Chinese men's basketball team could respond to the American team on the offensive end this time.
Two minutes after the game started, this was the first time tonight that the Chinese men's basketball team was overtaken by the United States.
All the pressure has come to the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team.
The Twin Towers continued to cooperate in the high post in the frontcourt. Lin Fei's movement involved the outside defense. After making a cross screen with Li Nan at the top of the arc,
There was a communication gap between Iverson and Wade at this time. They both chased Lin Fei immediately and directly let go of Li Nan on the left outside line.
Dayao held the ball with his back against Duncan. After discovering the opportunity, he did not hesitate and quickly gave the ball to Li Nan who was open on the left outside line.
Dayao remembers what Del Harris said in the last timeout. He must believe in his teammates. The Tianchao men's basketball team is a united team.
Li Nan caught the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left. Facing Wade, he quickly ran back and rushed forward. The calmness and decisiveness of a veteran were displayed. Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot the three-pointer.
"Uh-huh!"
hit.
After scoring the goal, Li Nan punched and roared at Wade, showing the iron-blooded spirit of a soldier.
Does the CBA's three-point champion need to coerce an NBA rookie?
Totally unnecessary.
China (86): (86) United States.
The time on the timer was fixed at 0 minutes and 29 seconds in the final quarter.
The two teams are back on the same starting line again.
Phillip Sanders called the last timeout on the American side and arranged the next most critical attack.
In the last 29 seconds, theoretically both teams still have a chance to attack.
Many Tianchao fans in the audience could not help but shed tears at this time. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, they will be proud of this Tianchao men's basketball team.
Reaching the semi-finals itself has created valuable history.
During the timeout, Lin Fei also heard the Chinese athletes in the front row of the stands suddenly discussing something excitedly.
"Liu Xiang won the championship, 12 seconds 91. Oh my god, he broke the Olympic record! He also tied the world record!"
"This gold medal is so precious. Our Chinese men's track and field team has never won a medal in the Olympics. Liu Xiang, this gold medal and record-breaking, is of great significance!"
"Yes, Liu Xiang's performance was perfect. Let's see if the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team can make history again!"
After hearing these words, Lin Fei suddenly became excited and clenched his fists tightly. Liu Xiang was good, and he, Lin Fei, must not fall behind.
Liu Xiang's real-time championship also inspired the fighting spirit of the Tianchao men's basketball team to a certain extent.
In the last 29 seconds, one attack and one defense decided too many things, and they were not allowed to make any mistakes.
If there are any regrets about this Olympics, we will have to wait until four long years later...
After the timeout, players from both teams reappeared.
When the American team attacked in the frontcourt, the ball was still given to Iverson.
There are no complicated tactics, just let Iverson play in isolation. This is the charm of a superstar.
When Iverson started to break through, Lin Fei seemed to see the "answer" that defeated the OK team one against two in the 2001 Finals. Although he was half a head shorter than himself, his eyes were full of waves. Endless killing intent rolled into a sea of blood.
Iverson knew Lin Fei's characteristics on the defensive end tonight, so he didn't make any complicated moves and just made a sharp breakthrough to completely pass Lin Fei.
Then there was another change of direction, Li Nan, who came up from defense, accelerated and went straight to the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Iverson's speed is too fast, and the zone defense of the Tianchao men's basketball team cannot achieve the best results due to physical constraints.
Iverson, who reached the basket, faced Dayao as the last line of defense. After an emergency stop, he made an incredible change of direction and shot the basket from Dayao's armpit.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the board and hit the net.
China (86): (88) United States.
Dayao's goal was even suspected of a defensive foul, but the referee chose to ignore it.
Iverson scored 5 points in the last minute tonight to help the American team take the lead. 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 before the end of the game.
With a 2-point difference, only 9 seconds were left for the Tianchao men's basketball team.
The American team had almost started celebrating. After scoring the goal, Iverson punched Yao hard, turned over and put a hand over his ear, making his signature listening gesture.
There were cheers at the scene. Those Greek and international fans who had originally defected to the Chinese men's basketball team still felt that the American team was more worthy of admiration.
Because Del Harris still has a long timeout, from the perspective of the United States, after Iverson scores a 2-point lead, the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely call a timeout to arrange the final attack.
But Del Harris did not call a timeout. Instead, he waved his hands vigorously on the sidelines, signaling the players to quickly serve and counterattack, catching the American team by surprise.
Without the point guard, Li Nan, as the team's first dribbling point, quickly received the ball and advanced. Wade was also the first to react and rushed forward to press for the ball.
Li Nan quickly passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who came up to respond. Zhu Fangyu then passed the ball and ran towards the frontcourt.
The rough speed completely threw off Duncan and Bazelle at a critical moment. Of course, there are some reasons for the signs of mental relaxation.
Roughly step into the frontcourt three -point line to pass the Zhu Xuan rain and pass the ball. Three steps are directly closed.
Although the two inside lines of the Mi Guo team did not come up, Wade rushed up to make up for the first time. The young and frivolous were completely afraid of the general height and tonnage.
I didn't expect that Wade could chase his hat, so he had to buckle the basketball in the basket. He was shot hard on the tempered rebounds with a crazy force by a crazy force.
"Snapped!"
Wade's cover completely showed his physical talent. He was the boss of the Miami heat team to focus on cultivating.
Basketball was shot crazy by Wade, smashed on the steel rebound at a large angle, and rebounded to the right side of the stadium.
At this time, only the last 2 seconds were left before the end of the game.
This century -old flying chasing hat seemed to determine the success or failure of a century war. Wade felt that the Mi Guo team had won, and he sent a key lore chase for his country.
At the moment of being chased, he was roughly stormy in his heart, and his pupils were magnified rapidly. He seemed to feel that he would become the sinner of the men's basketball team.
Is it to be a nightmare for his life by the blockade of the Heat teammate Wade this time?
Always remind himself that he is not worth playing in the NBA at all?
However, the last 2 seconds of the game can still happen.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei, who ran away from Iverson in the fast break, did not use any cover at all, and directly inserted it to 30 degrees angle on the right outside.
After Wade finished chasing the hat, Iverson's defense was obviously a bit negative, but in the next second, he instantly felt very regretful again.
The basketball after Wade chased the hat, hitting the tempered rebound just out of the 30 -degree angle three -point line on the right side of the frontcourt.
Lin Fei also dumped Everson in this familiar place to receive basketball without any hesitation.
Iverson looked at Lin Fei and jumped out, rushing up to defense, but his distance with Lin Fei at this time was more than two meters away.
The distance of these two meters seems to be far away from the Pacific Ocean, far more than the End of the End of the End of the End of the End, and continuously reproduces in Iverson's future memories.
"Uh-huh!"
The moment the basketball entered the net, the timer and the tempered rebounds also turned on the red light.
The whole game is over.
Tianchao (89): (88) Mi State.
Lin Fei used a standard three -point whistle to kill, helping the Tianchao men's basketball team to defeat the unable to life. While reaching the finals, he also locked the first Olympic men's basketball medal in the history of heaven.
This whistle is the "chasing assists" from the Heat Friends Wade.
Wade originally thought that his hasty to pursue the hat helped the team to lock the victory, but the reality was that he indirectly assisted Lin Fei to kill Mi Guo.
Another difficult whistle is also a difficult to copy. Lin Fei yelled at the audience after landing. His handsome facial features also became wild and embarrassed:
"Olympic finals, Lao Tzu is here!"
There were harsh bee sounds in front of the technical platform, the Da Yao, Great, Zhu Raining and Li Nan on the field, and the heavenly men's basketball players on the sidelines: Liu Wei, the United Arabia, bus, Hu Xuefeng, Guo is Qiang ...
All of them rushed towards Lin Fei on the court, holding up his hands and shouting his eyes hysterically:
"We win, we win!"
"Final, we are here!"
…
In the luxurious bar of the Emperor Sanlitun.
Countless fans on the scene burst at this moment the cheers and shouts, and even the sound of wine bottles and wine glasses was smashed.
The "Sea Wide Sky" of the bar singing band, at this time, finally sang the last two sentences:
"Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and freedom, I will be afraid that it will fall again!"
"I have abandoned my ideals, anyone can, how can I be afraid that one day you will only share me ..."
The Tianchao Men's Basketball Team miraculously killed Mi Guo on the Olympic Games, and reached the finals in history. At the same time, it also ensured that the first two ranked rankings.
In the final, the Tianchao men's basketball team was lightly put into battle, and there was no psychological burden.
The suspension of Agen led by Ginobili and Scolar also defeated Performance at the same time, and the Heavenly Chao team won in the Olympic men's basketball finals.
