Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 280 The final battle is finally here
There was constant shouting in the training ground, and the air smelled of sweat. The air in August was extremely dry and hot, and sweat dripped from the bright floor, and then when the offense and defense were switched every round, young volunteers quickly ran up to wipe off the water stains.

There is still one day until the final on August 8.

Lian Feng made a three-pointer, then waved to the coach on the sidelines, signaling that he would go down and take a rest.

Yunus glanced at his watch, silently calculated in his heart, then stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, stop for a while, let's all stop for a while!"

The players stopped training and gathered towards the coach.

"Don't take it lightly. But I believe you will not do this. At the same time, I hope that you will not think that they are invincible just because they lost a game in the group stage. You have done enough, and I believe you will win. Okay, take a break, and then do a few sets of defensive drills. That's it for today. Attend the team meeting as usual in the afternoon to review tactics."

Under the arrangement of Yunus, the players moved quickly.

Lian Feng sat on the bench silently, picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it for himself.

I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.

Knees are starting to hurt again.

Although the knee has been injured several times, and the injury threshold has increased a lot, but my way of playing is called unreasonable use of the knee, and it is actually destroying the knee.In almost every race, there will be many large changes of direction or high-speed emergency stops.And this way of playing, even if the threshold has increased a lot, there will still be problems.

This is his style, it can be said to be his label, there is no problem.Besides, it is not a bad thing to have injuries, and it is even a good thing now that it is difficult to improve.But, in the Olympic finals, if the team loses the game because of a knee injury, it is not a very wonderful thing.

He sat on the bench at this moment and began to think about something.

……

Just after practice, Kobe sat on the bench chatting with Paul.

"Our dominance has declined, hasn't it." Somewhere in the conversation between the two, Paul sighed helplessly.

No doubt so.

In the past game, Spain once cornered them.Even at the critical moment, Gasol's one-off goal dragged the game into overtime.For a long time, such a situation was simply unthinkable, at least not to the American people.

Fortunately, at the last moment, both James and Anthony stood up to stabilize the situation, and then Kobe took the game away with two three-pointers.

The repeated occurrence of such things in the international arena has declared that the period of absolute dominance of the American men's basketball team in the international arena has passed.

Kobe nodded, his tone calm: "But we will win."

"I agree with that."

Kobe was silent for a while, suddenly thought of something, and asked Paul: "In the next game, you will face your old partner again. How do you feel?"

"Haha... I don't know, he is very good, but basketball is a game for five people. We have to find a way to cut off the connection between him and Yao Ming."

Kobe smiled and shook his head.How simple it is to say, cutting off his connection with Yao Ming is not so easy to do in the game.After much deliberation, no one in the entire team could steadily defend Yao Ming in a one-on-one duel.

in case……

No matter how you think about it, there is no way to prevent Lian Feng from shooting three-pointers, or prevent Yao Ming from single-playing under the basket, then change the way of thinking to win the game.

While thinking this way, Old K called the US team for a meeting.

All the players got together, and Old K began to analyze his thoughts.

"Listen guys, we've always won on defense, from the start of the dream, on tight presses, quick transitions, counters and fast breaks. But these days have to change our thinking a little bit. My message to you is... to defend as hard as you can, but to win by attacking!"

"We have watched every game of the Hua Guo team. We have to admit that with Lian Feng and Yao Ming, it has become impossible for the Hua Guo team to rely on defense to defeat them. Yao Ming is the strongest point inside, and Lian Feng is also dominant on the outside. The offensive linkage formed by the two of them makes it impossible for us to crack."

"But don't forget, although their offense is very strong, their defense is like shit. In their starting lineup, strictly speaking, only Yao Ming and Lianfeng have defensive deterrence. But they have to allocate energy to offense. Let's look at the others. Well, a rookie power forward this year, a second-round pick of the Lakers, a small forward who doesn't move fast...the others are similar."

"What I want you to do is to avoid their strong points and give the ball to teammates who have a chance. Let them know that the shortest plank determines how much water a barrel can hold!"

The most difficult time is waiting for the game to start.

Even though he has experienced such competitions countless times, the waiting before each competition is still so boring.Both sides of the competition are the protagonists in their own stories, and they are silently waiting for the arrival of the final battle.This is not the NBA finals, there are no seven chances, just one shot, if you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose.

……

The entrance of the Wukeshu Stadium was full of people, old and young. Most of them wore Lianfeng's No. 11 jersey, and many of them wore Yao Ming's No. [-] jersey. At this time, smart people would not wear jerseys supporting Kobe or James. Doing so would be an act of scolding in the eyes of the older generation.

A sea of ​​red.

Foreigners who came to China to watch the game were all surprised by the unity and desire for honor of the Chinese people.Both sides of the battle are not for fame and fortune, but for the Olympic champion, the gold medal with gold inlaid with jade, and the honor of the motherland.

After getting off the bus, patches of red covered the field of vision, and the cheers of the crowd drowned out all sounds.

The staff struggled to clear a passage through which the players walked.

Lian Feng raised his hand and waved it, with a faint smile on his face.

A child shouted: "Uncle Lian Feng, you will get the gold medal, right?"

Lian Feng glanced back and nodded: "Brother."

I am still young, just like this national team.

Entering the arena, I made a series of preparations before the start of the game, and the time passed by every minute.After coming out of the locker room, the arena was already shouting loudly.

Lian Feng looked over there, and the American team was ready.

come on.
