When Popovich was interviewed, he was full of praise for the Dragon Kingdom team.

A reporter asked: "Coach, the U.S. team should have no opponents. The final opponent is the Longguo team in the same group. They are your defeats!"

Popovich shook his head and said: "Wrong, the group stage is not the true level of the two teams at all. At that time, it was only the difference between the first and second ranks. The Longguo team had reservations."

The reporter asked in surprise: "What can the Longguo team keep? Apart from Xu Feng, do they have any other stars?"

Popovich smiled helplessly: "It doesn't have to be a star to be great, as long as you have strength, you can exert a stronger effect when you pinch together."

It seems that the old coach understands this truth very well. It is not that if you pile up stars together, you can play an invincible effect.

"Since this is the case, do you think the strongest opponent in this Olympic Games is Spain or the Long Guo team?"

Popovich seemed speechless to the reporter. He shook his head and said, "What's your name? Didn't the Dragon Kingdom win against Spain? Of course the Dragon Kingdom is stronger!"

"Can you reveal the starting lineup of the US team?"

"Durant and Anthony will definitely start, and the others have not been determined." Popovich seemed a little impatient.

The relationship between the old man and the reporter was very delicate. Sometimes he would talk and laugh happily with the reporter, very harmonious, and sometimes he would be cold-hearted.

The reporters were afraid to ask.

……

Two days later, in the Rio de Janeiro Stadium, the Olympic men's basketball final between the Long Guo team and the US team started here.

Of course, the US team's entry into the finals was expected by the fans.

But the Long Guo team was not expected by many people.

Although the Long Guo team upset the US team and won the World Cup two years ago, people think that the US team is the youngest enemy.

As long as the American team is serious about playing, the Longguo team is not an opponent at all!

Most fans think so.

Xu Feng also held his breath before the game, because he saw a lot of sports news before the game, and they were all more optimistic about the US team.

Of course, the media respects Xu Feng a lot, saying that he is the backbone of the Longguo men's basketball team. Without him, the Longguo team would be a weak team.

But Xu Feng doesn't like this kind of statement very much. He thinks that he is a native of Longguo.

He must defeat the US team with his teammates and fight for the basketball of the motherland!

……

The starting lineup for the US team is Durant, Cousins, Irving, Anthony, Paul George.

The starting five Tigers of the Long Guo team are Xu Feng, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Ding Yan Yuhang and Guo Ailun.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, Cousins ​​grabbed the first wave of possession.

Irving received the ball in the backcourt, and after halftime, Guo Ai stepped forward to press down.

It can be seen from the expressions of the players that the American team still attaches great importance to the Longguo team.

Owen used his dexterous technique to pass Guo Ai, but just as he was about to enter the penalty area, he was stopped by Ding Yanyuhang.

This is the defensive strategy of the Longguo team. You can easily pass me alone, but there will be more people standing in front of you!

Owen was taken aback, and found that he had been double-teamed, and Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang were standing beside him.

Although the combination of the ball and the ball is at a historical level, he is not that strong in the face of double-teaming.

This is also the conclusion Xu Feng came to after playing against Owen many times. In the targeted training before the game, he had a countermeasure against Owen.

Irving had no choice but to pass the ball to Durant hastily.

But before the ball reached Durant, Xu Feng made a diagonal stab and broke the ball.

Paojiao immediately came to defend, Xu Feng scored the ball, passed Paojiao, took a big stride, and killed half of the court.

Durant and Paojiao followed closely behind, preparing for a two-person attack to destroy Xu Feng's attack.

But Xu Feng was already ruthless. He had to score the first goal to boost teammate Zhang's morale!

Facing the pincer attack between the two, Xu Feng handled the ball skillfully, and as soon as he entered the three-point line, he started a three-step basket.

Although Durant and Pickled Pepper were pulling and pulling, Xu Feng was like a tank that started, unstoppable!
boom!
Slam dunk!

Xu Feng scored two points for the Longguo team!
2: 0!

The American players were very helpless. They knew that Xu Feng was good and restricted them, but Xu Feng could still score if he wanted to!

Irving dribbles again, and this time instead of initiating an offense, he lobs the ball to Cousins.

As the league's No. [-] center, Cousins ​​is skilled and tall, and he has an advantage against centers from other countries.

Although Zhou Qi's height is good, his weight is much worse than that of Cousins.

So one of the tactics of the US team is to use Cousins ​​​​to bully the Dragon Kingdom center.

Cousins ​​knocked Zhou Qi away with his broad shoulders and was about to make a layup.

Who knows, Yi Jianlian suddenly burst out, volleyed a big hat, and slapped the ball in Cousins' hands out of the baseline!

This tactic was also seen through by the Longguo team, and they were already prepared.

After the big hat, A Lian, who has always been restrained, also roared to the sky. Xu Feng and his teammates came to celebrate with his chest bump. This ball is too domineering!
There were only more than 3 seconds left in the attack time, and Durant sent the sideline ball directly to Paojiao.

Under Ding Yanyuhang's defense, Paojiao made a three-pointer, boom!

After the bullet came out, Zhou Qi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian kept the ball and passed it to Guo Ailun.

Guo Ailun quickly crossed halftime and rushed towards the penalty area. Owen and Paojiao chased after him.

Guo Ailun suddenly threw the ball towards the backboard, Owen and Paojiao were taken aback, it doesn't look like a shot, does it?

Xu Feng then rushed over, flew over Owen's head, took the rebound, and slammed it into the basket!

Whoa!
This ball is too shocking.

First of all, Guo Ailun's pass is very imaginative. Only in the NBA All-Star Game, there will be such a quick pass.

In official competitions, few dare to pass like this.

Guo Ailun's ability to make such an action shows that he is very relaxed and confident!
In fact, this kind of alley-oop is not the first time Guo Ailun and Xu Feng have played.

Every time after training, Xu Feng would play trick dunks with his teammates for a while.

This is not just playing around, but Xu Feng is cultivating the imagination of the players.

Xu Feng found that the imagination of the players of the Longguo team is indeed a bit poor. It seems that their thinking is a little rigid. When they should be able to play some tricks, they are always afraid of making mistakes.

This kind of thinking will not dare to make big moves.

Without imagination, technology will not progress.

Under Xu Feng's training, the skills of the players of the Longguo team have improved a lot.

Of course, Xu Feng didn't let the players do those meaningless movements similar to streetball, which are all fancy.

Instead, on a practical basis, make some bold attempts to increase the finishing effect of the technology.

After Xu Feng dunked in, he beat his chest with both hands, roared loudly, and high-fived with his teammates.
