This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 525: the power of faith

On the final day, Hall 1 of the Carioca Stadium in Brazil was full.

Although the Brazil team was tragically eliminated in the group stage, fans will not miss the Olympic men's basketball final.

Moreover, the war between China and the United States four years ago is still fresh in our memory, and now it has been encountered again after four years, and the stories and topics are full.

It's not too big of a deal to watch the excitement, I'm talking about the current Brazilian fans.

In addition, there were also many Brazilian beauties who came to the scene on the final day. In the summer of August, at a glance, all of them were full of samba enthusiasm.

Brazil is rich in supermodels, and the genes of body shape are engraved in DNA.

However, the fans before the free TV broadcast of this scene appreciated that the players of both teams on the field were focused on preparing for the game.

Even on the US team, you couldn't see the hilarious scenes of their previous games.

In this game, both teams have reasons to win.

Yao Ming's walking is still a little awkward. In the end, closing this thing only has the effect of numbing the pain, and will not bring other help.

The warm-up was about to end. After Lin Ying greeted his wife in the front row, he turned around and gave the team a high five.

The opening ceremony began.

All 12 players from the two teams made their debut, and the starting lineups on both sides were also released one after another.

Team China: Chen Jianghua, Ding Yanyuhang, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming

Team USA: Irving, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Durant, Jordan

Ding Yanyuhang must be mentioned here.

This year, Tatum announced a new rule that will use a clause called a "two-way contract" in the new season to solve the problem of insufficient players on each team.

A player who signs this contract, in addition to continuing to play in the G League, can also play a certain number of games on behalf of the parent team.

Although a two-way player cannot represent the parent team in the playoffs, this is an opportunity closer to the NBA, because a two-way contract can be transferred to a formal contract.

Ding Yanyuhang has been playing in the D-League since he was selected by the Mavericks. Over the past few years, the ball has increased significantly, but he has never had the chance to enter the Mavericks.

This year, he played well on behalf of the Mavericks in the summer league and won a two-way contract for himself, which is one step closer to his NBA dream.

The match started soon, Yao Ming and Lin Ying bumped their fists before going on the court, then trotted onto the court.

The final battle has begun!

Jordan jumped up and threw the ball back to the U.S. team's half, and the Olympic finals officially kicked off.

As soon as the U.S. team came up to play, it was relatively simple to find Durant.

Yi Jianlian is following the Chinese team.

Yi Jianlian followed very well, but now he is a little overweight and can't keep up with the speed.

Durant's shot that went out to catch the ball... was interfered by Lin Ying's defense!

As a good brother and close comrade-in-arms, how could Lin Ying not stare at the attacking core of the US team.

"when!"

Durant's first shot ended in a strike.

Yao Ming received a defensive rebound at the basket.

The Chinese team was not in a hurry to break fast. After the ball was given to Chen Jianghua, it moved forward steadily.

They are already very familiar with Lao K's tactical system. They can only play slow with the US team, and play fast is asking for hardships.

The Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt, and Yao Ming received the ball from a high position.

The U.S. team is also an old opponent, and they are well aware of his strategy, so they are guarding against his passing.

Lin Ying and Ding Yanyuhang had no chance of cutting in and out.

The U.S. team has only one inside line on the field, and the defensive end is flexible. In addition, the half court of the fiba field is small, so it is not easy to play.

However, Lin Ying still had an opportunity by running back.

The U.S. team's defensive focus is all on him.

Yao Ming...turned around and quickly moved to the basket.

His choice was somewhat unexpected.

Because the outside world doesn't necessarily know that Yao Ming was shut down, but they know that he was beaten with an injury.

This does not require any special verification, because Yao Ming played fewer games in front of him, and even fewer low-post singles.

This is unusual for Yao Ming, even Yao Ming who has lost weight.

But tonight, he started singles.

Jordan didn't react the first time, but he quickly retreated to cover.

This is the advantage of being young. Jordan, who was at his peak, moved faster than the current Yao Ming and was able to attack.

However, Yao Ming quickly showed his footsteps, and a signature turnaround hook put the ball firmly into the basket.

Although Lian Po is old, he can still fight!

Moreover, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Yao Ming played Jordan at his peak, and he still has the upper hand now!

Yao Ming's goal boosted the morale of the Chinese team.

To know that he was closed down, they already knew it, and taking the lead is even more exciting.

Morale drives defensive enthusiasm, and the opening game is full of stamina. The Chinese team did a tight round in this defensive round.

Durant cut in to catch the ball and tried to shake to get rid of Yi Jianlian, but his steps were a little messy.

The referee's whistle blew, and he was directly blown for a walking violation!

There was a commotion at the scene.

As the core of the U.S. team, Durant made a mistake in the opening game, and his performance was a bit stretched.

At this time, Lin Ying noticed that Durant turned his head to look at the auditorium involuntarily when he was retreating. That was Dickel's direction.

It seems that Durant is a little anxious for personal performance when his new girlfriend is present.

This is an opportunity for the Chinese team.

Yao Ming received the ball from a high position. This time, Lin Ying cut in to catch the ball and encountered a pincer attack, and Jordan also shrank to the basket.

Lin Ying saw the opportunity to knock the ball back to Yao Ming at the free throw line.

Yao Ming made a very decisive shot after catching the ball.

"Shh!"

Hand up and down!

Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row!

The Chinese fans at the scene were very excited to see this.

They seem to have returned to London four years ago. At that time, Yao Ming was killing the Quartet in the interior just like before.

The US team's offense, Klay Thompson's outside shot is still not available!

The defensive intensity of the Chinese team has not decreased, and Thompson is not as restrained by Curry, and the shot opportunity obtained is obviously not as good as that of the Warriors. This ball was thrown directly against Ding Yanyuhang's defense.

However, Jordan was really young at the basket, and he jumped up and took off offensive rebounds.

Yao Ming's feet are obviously not faster than him.

After Jordan grabbed the offensive rebound, he looked at Yao Ming's position, arched his butt, and shot directly.

However, the moment he shot, Yao Ming's belated right hand covered the basketball.

"boom!"

A big pegboard hat!

Your uncle is old, still your uncle!

Before Jordan could react, Yao Ming had already picked up a defensive rebound!

After more than two minutes of play, the US team hadn't scored yet!

Yao Ming gave Lin Ying the rebound.

Lin Ying didn't follow the tactics step by step, but turned around and passed George in front of him, and then rushed to the front court.

Now that the Chinese team's defense is super-level, and the US team's offense is sluggish, it's time to build an advantage.

The U.S. team is not the Australian team, so it is impossible to play in a downturn for the entire quarter, and the Chinese team's defensive strength will also decline.

In addition, it is impossible for him to enter the white-hot space at will when he is playing in the national team, so the opportunities that need to be seized must be seized!

Owen saw Feifei coming to make up the defense, but Lin Ying passed away immediately after a confrontation.

The referee didn't sound the whistle, and Lin Ying passed everyone and rushed to the front court.

"Bang!"

A direct one-handed tomahawk ended the attack!

Yao Ming has been looking in the direction of Lin Ying's fast break since he passed the ball in the backcourt.

After seeing Lin Ying dunk, he couldn't help throwing his fist and roaring.

This time, the Chinese fans in the auditorium were completely excited.

They are the defending champions!

At the critical moment, Irving showed his psychological quality, and Jordan made a mid-range pull-up jumper after the pick-and-roll.

Irving's speed is very fast, even if Yao Ming's foot is not injured, it is difficult to get this kind of ball.

There was a burst of cheers from the scene.

The United States is close to Brazil, so many people come here to watch football.

Moreover, the Brazilian fans at the scene were not too big of a problem to watch the excitement. The American team was constantly being pressed and beaten at the beginning, which made them uncomfortable.

However, before the cheers fell, Yao Ming took off Yi Jianlian's missed jumper and attacked the offensive rebound.

This dunk instantly stunned all the fans at the scene.

In this final battle, the "little giant" seemed to be ten years younger, radiating unparalleled vitality!

Faith is a magical power, it can make people invincible and invincible!

8 to 2!

Yao Ming scored 6 points, and the Chinese team also suppressed the US team at the beginning!

A three-point shot from George's frontcourt...nothing!

Tonight, the US team felt cold on the outside.

Yao Ming once again protected the defensive rebound.

This time, George's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and Lin Ying, who directly received the ball, fouled him, preventing him from another fast break.

Yao Ming received the ball from a high position in the frontcourt. With the shouts of the assistant coach of the US team on the sidelines, Jordan gave him a physical confrontation.

To be honest, the U.S. team doesn't have a high evaluation of Yao Ming's strength now, because the **** who came down the mountain, even if he used to be a god, is not now.

The U.S. team is most concerned about Lin Ying.

But now, Yao Ming is using his unexpected performance to force his attention to the past.

This also makes the attacking space of the Chinese team much better than at the beginning.

Because of Yao Ming's current state, it's impossible to rely on Jordan in a single-player game. The U.S. team's defense is now relying on the inside, which is convenient for assisting defense.

With such a defensive formation, the chances of the Chinese team on the outside have obviously increased.

Ding Yanyuhang's three-point shot from the outside line hits directly!

His shooting is very elegant, with a little taste of Kobe Bryant.

The pose is picturesque.

11 to 2!

The scene was restless.

Before the game, no one would have imagined that the Chinese team, which was thought to have declined a lot, could actually play against the US team at the start!

Although the strength of this dream team is a lot worse than the previous one, it still has five All-Stars on the court!

Such a start is really surprising!

And this kind of accident lasted an entire half-time.

At the end of the half, the Chinese team led the U.S. team by 12 points 42-30!

The Chinese team played an unprecedented game in this half.

Under the leadership of Yao Ming, the team members seemed to be fighting chicken blood one by one, and they played a super-level offensive and defensive quality.

Yao Ming scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the half, and is the best player on the Chinese team.

In this final battle, he did everything he could.

The game entered halftime.

Team USA locker room.

After Lao K finished arranging his tactics and went out, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Green didn't come, Anthony didn't come, and the team didn't have any spiritual players.

The core of the team, Durant, George and Irving, are not the kind of people who prefer to use the performance on the court rather than the language off the court to boost morale.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door from the locker room, and then a person appeared at the door with a smile.

It's Kobe.

Kobe Bryant arrived in Brazil before the semifinals. He watched the semifinals, and naturally he would also come to watch the finals.

Seeing that the U.S. team had a bad halftime situation, he came to the locker room to see the boys.

Seeing Kobe's appearance, everyone's eyes burst with excitement.

Kobe Bryant is a god-like existence in the hearts of these young North American players.

"Take it easy guys, we still have half time."

Kobe came in and said with a smile.

Outside the door at this time, Coach K listened intently.

Kobe Bryant was specially recruited by him to boost the team's morale.

"The Chinese team played respectably in the first half, but their physical energy consumption is very high. Physical fitness has always been their weakness, so keep your confidence and start with defense. I believe you can do it."

Kobe didn't say much, but every sentence was on point.

After speaking, Kobe walked over to Durant and sat down again.

"You need to do more, Kevin, use your actions to tell others that you want to lead them to win this championship, and you are their leader."

When he said this, Kobe also reached out and patted Durant on the shoulder,

"Don't forget, you are fmvp."

Durant sat up straight, then nodded vigorously.

He did think a little too much in the first half.

And the charm of a man is not how well he plays the ball. After all, Dickel doesn't understand basketball either.

The true charm of a man is his appearance in the face of adversity.

The current situation is an opportunity for him.

…

Came back from the halftime break and the game continued.

Back in the second half, the Chinese team took the lead.

Yao Ming continued to respond with the ball at a high position, and Ding Yanyuhang's mid-range shot after the cut was interrupted and went out of the basket.

The U.S. team has significantly strengthened its defense on the court.

However, the morale of the Chinese team's return was still the same. The US team was blocked for two consecutive waves of attacks. The ball finally reached Durant. He faced Lin Ying's help defense mid-range dry pull-up jumper.

The ball is very difficult.

"Shh!"

But Durant still threw the ball in!

After scoring the goal, Durant let out a cathartic roar.

In the stands, Kobe stretched out his hands to applaud Durant's performance.

Everyone expresses themselves differently as a leader.

Kobe's own words, as he said in the locker room, start with defense.

And Durant is his unstoppable scoring ability in the international arena.

Or, more than that.

Durant's goal greatly boosted the morale of the U.S. team, and Jordan struggled to hold on to Yao Ming's turnaround singles.

Then, when Yao Ming turned around and made a hook shot, Durant suddenly hit him and blocked Yao Ming's shot with a slap!

His experience with the Nets over the past year has made him improve a lot on the defensive end.
