NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 90 [90] 8 into 4, at the last moment, should the whistle decide the outcome?
There were cheers everywhere, and many Chinese fans in the auditorium waved their national flags.

With the rough dribble and Lin Fei's elegant three-pointer, the Tianchao men's basketball team quickly recovered and was no longer under the pressure of Agen.

Agen came to the offensive end, and Ginobili held the ball to face Lin Fei again. It seems that this is obviously the offensive strategy emphasized by Agen's coaching staff.

That is to allow Ginobili to use his advantage in the matchup to consume Lin Fei with more strong plays with the ball.

This time, "Demon Saber" successfully shook Lin Fei with a lifelike prayer to Buddha, and after the cat's waist protruded a step, he stopped suddenly and made a mid-range shot, and the basketball hit the net.

"Shh!"

Ginobili, who played less than half a quarter, made 5 of 4 shots and scored 10 points in a row. This offensive efficiency is really scary.

Lin Fei was not in a hurry, and quickly learned from the mistakes of the defensive end, constantly changing his defensive methods.

With the long-term training during the offseason, Lin Fei's bench press has reached 79 kg, and his body weight has also increased to 88 kg while maintaining his body fat percentage.

At least in terms of physical confrontation with most white defenders, he no longer suffers.

On the offensive end, Del Harris continued to give full play to the advantage inside. Yao and the twin towers, who were roughly in the low position, connected and directly dunked Scola to score 2+1.

"Shh!"

The roughly extra penalty that went to the free throw line was also hit, and the Tianchao team was chasing the score.

Returning to the defensive end again, the Tianchao men's basketball team has also perfected its defensive strategy against Ginobili.

Lin Fei defended closely at the top of the arc, creating more physical confrontation for Ginobili. Once Ginobili breaks through Lin Fei and enters the penalty area, Zhu Fangyu will immediately defend him.

After all, facing a scorer of Ginobili's level, relying on single defense is almost equal to nothing.
No matter how hard Lin Fei works, but his defensive ability is there, if he doesn't double-team, it will inevitably make Ginobili, who is in hot form, score 30+ tonight.

As soon as Ginobili broke through Zhu Fangyu, he made up for it, and formed a front and rear flanking situation with Lin Fei.

For the Tianchao national team, Zhu Fangyu's defense at the small forward position is very good. He is 2.01 meters tall, but weighs 100 kilograms, and he is very confrontational.

Faced with the defensive changes of the Chinese team, Ginobili's first choice was naturally to pass the ball to Delfino, who was emptied, and let Delfino finish with three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Delfino was a first-round pick in 2003. Although his strength is not as good as Ginobili's, he is still quite strong, and his shooting percentages are very good.

The supplementary defense strategy of the Tianchao men's basketball team is not a good choice, but it can only give Agen the opportunity to stop other players' air defenses in addition to the two points of pinching Ginobili and Scola.

The overall strength and skills are not as good as others, and this can only be a way out of nowhere.

In this way, although Ginobili's firepower was pinched, Delfino threw it away.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Fangyu could only choose to return to defense as soon as possible, and Lin Fei also followed Ginobili closely to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.

Of course, in the face of Lin Fei and Zhu Fangyu's fierce double-teaming, Ginobili could not pass the ball successfully every time, and also made a mistake during the period.

With the help of Zhu Fangyu's physical confrontation with Ginobili, Lin Fei completed an oppressive and fierce steal, and he also ran continuously to find opportunities during the counterattack.
From outside the three-point line at a 0-degree angle on the right, he took the opportunity to block Ginobili with Zhu Fangyu's elevator door cover, received the ball from Dayao's sudden basket, and then scored a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

In the entire first quarter, Lin Fei only got two rare opportunities, hit two three-pointers and scored 6 points.

However, Ginobili was also successfully pinched by Lin Fei and Zhu Fangyu. After scoring 10 points in the first quarter, he did not get another good chance.

Dayao and General's inside advantages were brought into play, so that after the first quarter, the Tianchao men's basketball team did not fall behind significantly.

Celestial Dynasty (19): (22) Agen stops.

After the start of the second quarter, Del Harris replaced Lin Fei with Li Nan, and Dayao and He roughly staggered the rest.

Seeing that Agen's substitutes played well, Scola took advantage of his absence to score 5 points in a row, so Ginobili rested for most of the second quarter and did not rush to play.

Argentine is obviously confident on the basis of a deep lineup, presumably Ginobili has not exerted his full strength.

In the last 2 minutes before the end of the first half, the coach of Argen stopped and re-appointed Ginobili, and Del Harris also let Lin Fei and Zhu Fangyu play.

But in these 2 minutes, Lin Fei really saw the strongest Manu Ginobili.

Coming up, Ginobili used realistic and sophisticated shooting fakes to create a shooting foul by Lin Fei, and he made two free throws when he walked to the free throw line.

Immediately afterwards, Ginobili completed a steal on the defensive end, broke through a pass in the fast break, and assisted Prigioni to score a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Then Ginobili played a pick-and-roll with Scola in the high post, misplaced a small hit, a big strong, a rough, and a crooked throw to score 2+1.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The foul generally held his head helplessly, looking at Ginobili seemed to see the devil.

"When Ginobili lost his balance, he scored roughly 2+1. This goal is too similar to the goal he scored against Serbia and Montenegro two days ago!"

"Tonight's Manu Ginobili really has the feeling of being possessed by Jordan!"

"Shh!"

Ginobili, who walked to the free throw line, also made extra free throws, leading Agen to quickly play a wave of 8:2, and the point difference also came to 10 points.

Lin Fei shot near the center line at the last moment of the first half and hit an incredible halftime buzzer shot.

But the Tianchao men's basketball team still entered the second half with a 7-point disadvantage.

Del Harris boldly changed his offensive strategy in the third quarter, completely using Lin Fei as the first offensive core, allowing Dayao and roughly mentioned outside to do more and more complicated pick-and-rolls,

Create opportunities for Lin Fei to shoot three-pointers, and want to use this to sound the clarion call for chasing points.

Under the cover of continuous elevator doors, Lin Fei also got more chances to make shots.

However, due to the uneven passing quality, Agen's defensive aggressiveness, and his personal touch also fluctuated to a certain extent,
Therefore, Lin Fei got 7 shots in the third quarter, only hit 4 of them, and scored 3 points through free throws.

7 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, this is already a terrifying three-pointer percentage, but in the established impression Lin Fei gave to the fans, it seems that the touch is not too hot.

Lin Fei's 15 points in a single quarter, coupled with Yao He's performance, allowed the Tianchao team to score 23 points in the third quarter, and the offensive efficiency is already very high.

But Agen's firepower was even stronger. Under the tandem of Ginobili, he scored 26 points in a single quarter and beat the Chinese team by 3 points.

Three quarters down,
Celestial Dynasty (66): (76) Agen stops.

The opponent has already led by 10 points.

At the end of the quarter, Argentine continued to play steadily, the rhythm master Ginobili perfectly controlled the situation, and Dayao's lack of physical strength also made the inside line miss frequently.

Perhaps it was due to too much energy on the defensive end. Tonight, Lin Fei's overall three-pointer feeling was not good. He played 7 minutes in the fourth quarter and only made 2 of 1 shots.

In the end, the Tianchao men's basketball team lost to Agending 82:93, swallowing their first defeat in the group stage.

Lin Fei played 30 minutes in this game, made 12 of 8 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a team-high 28 points and 2 steals, but it didn't help the team win.

Dayao had 22 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, roughly 19 points. In addition, there was no player in the Tianchao men's basketball team who scored in double figures. Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu made only 10 of 2 shots in this game.

吉诺比利全场16投9中，三分8中5，罚球5中4，拿到27分4篮板7助攻3抢断1封盖，数据相当全面，无愧于全场的MVP！

The loss of this game inevitably caused the major Chinese and foreign sports media to compare the two shooting guards Lin Fei and Ginobili.

林飞的28分2抢断，在吉诺比利27分4篮板7助攻3抢断1封盖的全面数据下，便难免要黯然失色。

The Greek Sports Herald believes that Lin Fei has obvious technical shortcomings, and his defensive strength needs to be strengthened, which is obviously far behind Ginobili.

The Renton Sports Morning Post pointed out that Ginobili is fully capable of becoming the boss of a weak NBA team, while Lin Fei's position is still the best puzzle piece for an NBA championship team, the third person in the team.

Although they lost to A Gending, the Tianchao men's basketball team was not discouraged by it. Lin Fei quickly adjusted his state and continued his daily training.

Ever since he found Brother Antetokounmpo's dilapidated basketball court, Lin Fei would run over every morning to practice shooting, and he soon became friends with Brother Antetokounmpo and other black children who stole away.

In addition to buying shampoo from Brother Antetokounmpo, Lin Fei also gave the children a new basketball and taught them some basketball skills.

But this group of children is only in their teens after all. Except for Antetokounmpo, none of the other children has enough strength to throw a basketball from beyond the three-point line to the basket.

Looking at Lin Fei's stalwart figure sweating profusely on the court with admiring eyes, Brother Antetokounmpo also strengthened his dream. He will definitely play in the NBA in the future.

Because Lin Fei told Xiaoyan that even if the three-point shot is not accurate, he can still contribute to the team's victory through strength confrontation, rebounding and breakthrough layups.

The last two opponents of the Tianchao men's basketball team in the group stage are Italy and Montenegro, which are also two top European teams.

The game against Italy was intense until the last minute. Under the targeted suffocation defense of the Italy men's basketball team, Lin Fei, Dayao and Da Da didn't get a good chance.
Zhu Fangyu's open three-pointer missed and missed the lore. The Tianchao men's basketball team lost by two points at 81:83.

After the game, Lin Fei also comforted Zhu Fangyu who missed the lore.

Zhu Fangyu gritted his teeth and realized his shame, then clenched his fists and said: "Lin Fei, from today on, I will learn from you and practice at least 1500 three-pointers every day!"

In the first four rounds of the group stage, the Tianchao men's basketball team won 2 wins and 2 losses, which does not guarantee advancement. The final match against Serbia and Montenegro is a battle that cannot be lost.

In 2004, Serbia and Montenegro were not independent, so they still belonged to a republic, referred to as Serbia and Montenegro.

Serbia and Montenegro had a very strong lineup during this period, including NBA three-point shooter Peja Stojakovic and 2.16-meter center Verati Divac.

At the same time, last year's No. [-] pick Darko Milicic was on the bench.

Although these three are all playing in the NBA, there is only one Peja in the true sense of the top player.

In the 03-04 season, Peja was the scoring leader of the Kings, averaging 24.2 points per game, second only to Tracy McGrady, and ranked No. 2 in scoring in the regular season.

The scoring average in the NBA during this period was obviously much lower. The scoring leader McGrady had 28 points, and the second-place Peja and Garnett only had 24 points.

This is naturally because the promulgation of the NBA's zone defense rules has curbed the firepower of powerful insiders such as O'Neal and Duncan, and the no handcheck rule has not yet been activated.

In the ten seasons of the NBA from 03 to 12, it can be said that the center has been weakened continuously, and at the same time, the small ball era is also in a transitional stage.

But at this stage, super three-point shooters such as Curry and Thompson have not really grown up, and the center has begun to lose its dominance, so a group of powerful strikers have emerged in the league to take charge.

McGrady, James, Anthony, Pierce, Durant... Kobe and Wade are also beneficiaries of this period.

In this critical battle with Saihei, Lin Fei's three-pointer once again became the sharpest weapon of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because Serbia and Montenegro did not have a defender who could chase Lin Fei like Ginobili did, and at the same time, the pace of changing defenses inside was also very slow.

Peja tried to switch to defend Lin Fei during the game, but the effect was also not good. After all, his height is still too high, and his speed will not be able to keep up.

In this way, Lin Fei shot like crazy in this unbeatable battle. He let out all the depression of the previous two losses. He played 31 minutes and made 13 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. 35 points.

Continue to break the FIBA ​​single-game three-point record, and at the same time, 35 points in a single game is also Lin Fei's single-game scoring high in the men's basketball team.

It is even the highest score in a single game among all players in the men's basketball team at the Yadian Olympic Games.

Dayao and Da Da joined forces to completely blow up the 36-year-old Divac who is about to retire in the paint. The young No. [-] pick Milicic also failed to get a good chance to play.

that's it.

The Tianchao men's basketball team finally defeated Serbia and Montenegro 90:77, with a total of 3 wins and 2 losses, ranking behind Spain and Agendeng, and advanced to the quarterfinals as No.3 in the group stage by virtue of the advantage of point difference.

Italia ranked fourth in the group, New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro were eliminated.

According to the rules, the Tianchao men's basketball team will face No.8 in Group B in the 4-to-2 knockout round, which is the host Greek team.

Although Xipanya lost to the Tianchao men's basketball team at the beginning, their overall strength allowed them to win four games in a row and advance to the top of the group.

However, Spain's No. 1 in Group A is not necessarily a good thing, because they will face the fourth American team in Group B in the 8-in-4 match.

No one could have imagined that the U.S. team actually lost to Puerto Rico and Litao Bowl in a row in the group stage. With 3 wins and 2 losses, they could only rank fourth in the group because of the record of the match.

Regarding the poor performance of the American Dream Six in the group stage, the fans of the American side are naturally quite indignant, thinking that even if the American country can win the championship in the end, it still throws people from the basketball kingdom into it.

Disunity within the team, lack of communication between old and new players, lack of active defense and unclear division of labor, lack of an excellent organizational point guard to sort out the overall situation,

This is the main reason why the American Dream has 3 wins and 2 losses in the six group matches.

At this time, Philip Sanders finally understood the distress of coaching the national team. If he had a choice, he would never come again.

8 month 25 day.

The Tianchao men's basketball team ushered in a strong opponent in the 8-to-4 knockout round, the host team Greece.

Although reaching the quarter-finals has fulfilled the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team, after all, it was the team that beat Spain and Serbia in the group stage.

Therefore, the fans of Tianchao are enthusiastic, looking forward to the men's basketball team can beat the host in this knockout match, reach the semi-finals and make history.

The Greek men's basketball team is known for its strong style of play. Although no one in the team has played in the NBA, no one dares to question the strength of this team.

What's more, with the convenience of the host, the referee will inevitably favor the Greek team to some extent in terms of whistle-blowing scale.

Entering the knockout stage of the Olympic men's basketball team, the attention of basketball fans around the world has also increased.

The President of Greece also came to the game site and personally cheered for the national team.

Europe's largest gaming company gave the Greek team a handicap of 6.5 points, and the mainstream media is obviously more optimistic about the Greek team's victory.

The time of this game is 2:[-] pm local time, while it is [-]:[-] am on the Tianchao side.

"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience, this is Tianchao Wutai. I am Director Zhang. The knockout match between the Tianchao men's basketball team and the host Greek team will start soon!"

"In the just-concluded another knockout match between the US vs. Spain, the US team swept away the decline and played the demeanor of the world's basketball hegemony. They eliminated Spain at 102:90 and reached the semi-finals!"

"Among them, Allen Iverson scored 36 points alone, breaking Lin Fei's record of 35 points in a single game in this Olympic Games!"

"In this way, according to the rules, the winners of the Tianchao men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team tonight will also face the American Dream Six in the next round of semi-finals!"

"Okay, let's see that the starting players of the two teams have stepped onto the court, and the game has officially started!"

"Come up to the Tianchao team to take the lead in attacking. Liu Wei uses Dayao to cover and pass the ball in the middle.

"A long pass from behind, and the ball was given to Lin Fei, who threw off the Greek defender behind him. Lin Fei's position is too far from the basket, more than 12 meters away!"

"What? Lin Fei directly chose a super-long three-point shot, and sent a super-long three-pointer from 15 meters away in the first 12 seconds. Is this shot?"

"Ah! The ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in!"

"Lin Fei hit a super long three-pointer at the beginning of the game, which gave the Tianchao men's basketball team a good start tonight's knockout match!"

Director Zhang's commentary was passionate, and the host Yu Jia was equally excited.

In the live broadcast room of Tianchao [-] tonight, besides Director Zhang and Yu Jia,

"God of War" Liu Yudong and "Tianchao Jordan" Hu Weidong, these two representatives of the golden generation of the men's basketball team, also came to the live broadcast room as guests to witness the sprint history of the Tianchao men's basketball team.

This knockout match determines whether the Chinese men's basketball team can make history in the Olympics. Therefore, there are significantly more fans in China who stay up late to watch the live broadcast of the game than in the group stage.

hawaii.

In the luxurious suites of the Marina Beach Hotel,

Szebiak, his wife Shannon Ward, and their two daughters were watching TV in the living room. What was being played on the screen was the Olympic knockout match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team.

Although he is on vacation with his wife and daughter in Hawaii, Szerbiak is also concerned about his friend Lin Fei's performance in the Yadian Olympics.

As for the American Dream VI, Szczerbiak has no hope. In short, he feels that it is difficult to win the gold medal.

Although the United States has just eliminated Spain, it is more because of Iverson's superb performance alone. It is unreasonable to win the game like this, and it is difficult to have a second time.

The five-year-old eldest daughter pointed at the TV screen and said excitedly, "Law, look quickly, it's Uncle Lin!"

His wife, Shannon Ward, laughed and said, "Lin hasn't eaten my fried filet mignon for two months. He must miss it very much! Wally, do you think China can beat Greece?"

Szczerbiak said with a smile: "Of course, I believe in Lin and Dayao. The knockout round will always be the place to test the quality of superstars!"

"I'm still waiting for the Celestial Empire to eliminate Greece. In the semi-finals, I will see Lin Fei and Dayao playing against our American team! Haha!"

Look back to the Greek Olympic Basketball Stadium.

The whole game was very tense, with the Tianchao men's basketball team and the Greek team taking the lead alternately.

It wasn't until the last minute of the final quarter that Dayao held the ball at the top of the arc and Lin Fei picked and rolled. With the help of Lin Fei's huge containment force to attract the defense, he made a sudden stop at the free throw line and made a steady mid-range shot. This made the Tianchao men's basketball team take the lead. 1 minutes.

China (81): (79) Greece.

Sitting in the front row of the auditorium, Liu Xiang, Tian Lianghe Sui Feifei, Zhao Ruirui and others roared excitedly and clenched their fists, expecting the Tianchao men's basketball team to protect this victory to the end.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire arena became suffocated and tense, because most of the stands were local Greek fans, and they prayed in their hearts that the team could reverse.

On the timer, there are only 0 minutes and 39 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

In theory, both teams still have at least one chance to attack.

Greece paused and came back to execute a crucial attack.

In the NBA draft in June this year, guard Spanoulis, who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 6th overall pick in the second round, was facing Lin Fei's defense at the top of the arc with the ball.

The atmosphere is tense and full of gunpowder.

Spanoulis played against Lin Fei tonight, but he didn't get the desired effect.

At the last moment of the game, Lin Fei hit 7 three-pointers through various screen moves, and scored 25 points with free throws. At the same time, he had 3 key steals on the defensive end.

And Spanoulis's organizational ability is obviously stronger. In addition to contributing 6 assists, he only scored 10 points on 4 of 9 shots. It can be said that both offense and defense were exploded by Lin Fei.

This is the most critical attack, and Spanoulis knows that he must not fail.

Beads of sweat dripped from Lin Fei's forehead, he kept a step away from his knees and raised his arms, always alert to Spanoulis' next move and the pick-and-roll man's move.

Greece's starting center Pros quickly stepped up to cover Spanoulis in a pick-and-roll, and Dayao followed closely.

Dayao and Lin Fei didn't switch defenses for this ball, and Lin Fei also bypassed the pick-and-roll man to catch up to Spanoulis without giving him a chance to break through the basket.

At this time, Spanoulis made an obvious movement of reaching out and pushing the ball, directly pushing Lin Fei two steps away, opening up the space and decisively stopping the jump shot.

Lin Fei was shocked, subconsciously frowned and looked at the referee, but the referee obviously didn't intend to blow the whistle.
