NBA: James wants to team up with me

As Kobe Bryant made 2 free throws, there was only 2 minute and 1 seconds left before the end of the game. The Chinese men's basketball team fell behind by 40 points, but had the ball.

Wang Chong caught the ball from the baseline, and the Dream Team immediately stepped forward to double-team Wang Chong. James and Wade surrounded him one after another, not giving him any chance to move with the ball.

If it were the beginning of the game, Wang Chong could still use his superb dribbling ability to find a way to break out of the encirclement.

But now that the game is going on, Wang Chong, who has played for more than 38 minutes, is at the end of his game and unable to break through. He has to reluctantly pass the ball to Sun Yue, who is not far away.

Under the full-court press of the Dream Team, the Huaguo men's basketball team had a hard time protecting the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

When everyone on the court stood still, 24 seconds of the 10-second attack time had passed.

Everyone knows that Wang Chong still has to carry out the offense of the Huaguo men's basketball team. Even though he is very tired, he is still the most confident player in the entire Huaguo men's basketball team's offensive scoring.

At this time, Wang Chong was standing at the three-point line in the right corner. James followed him closely and did not dare to neglect him. At the same time, two nearby Dream Team players were also paying attention to Wang Chong's movements at any time. Prepare to rush forward and attack from a flank.

The first to act was power forward UAE.

He took the initiative to come out from the inside and blocked James' right side to cover Wang Chong.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chong moved laterally to avoid James. Anthony, who was facing the Arab League, immediately stepped forward to defend Wang Chong, but as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by Zhu Fangyu running from the other side.

The double screen pick-and-roll finally gave Wang Chong some space to catch the ball.

Sun Yue immediately passed the ball to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong, who successfully caught the ball, was already standing at a 45-degree angle outside the right three-point line.

"not good!"

Seeing this scene, all the players on the Dream Team couldn't help but be shocked. At least three players immediately rushed in the direction of Wang Chong. Among them, James, who bypassed the Arab League pick-and-roll, bore the brunt.

Wang Chong took a deep breath, bent his knees, jumped up and took action, completing the entire set of movements in one go.

But at this time, when his physical fitness was on the verge of reaching its limit, Wang Chong's take-off height was very limited. James, who rushed to the scene, jumped high and almost blocked Wang Chong's shot.

The basketball almost passed James' fingertips and fell straight into the basket under everyone's gaze.

Three point hit!

This ball shocked Wang Chong into a cold sweat. Fortunately, his shooting speed was very fast, because he was blessed with a fast shooter badge. Although this badge was only the lowest level of bronze, it still made Wang Chong's shooting speed faster than before. Much faster.

When his physical fitness declines and he cannot jump very high, Wang Chong's advantage of height and long arms is already within the reach of a spring man like James, so there is a possibility of being interfered by blocks.

Fortunately, there was less than 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game, and the winner would be decided in two to three rounds at most.

With Wang Chong's three-pointer, the Huaguo men's basketball team once again took the lead, taking a 92-point lead at 91:1.

The uniform shouts of Chinese fans rang out in Wukesong Stadium.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

As long as it can prevent the next attack of the Dream Team, the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team will have a chance to defeat the Dream Team and win the game!

Even though they were about to reach their limit, the players of the Hua Guo Men's Basketball Team still gritted their teeth and persisted, staring desperately at the Dream Team players, not daring to relax at all.

In this critical offense and defense, the Dream Team chose to hand the ball over to Wade, who had the best performance in the entire game.

Wade slowly dribbled the ball across half court, stood at the top of the three-point line, and started attacking when there were 6 seconds left in the attack time.

Even though he knew that Wade would definitely break through with the ball, Zhu Fangyu, who was facing Wade, was still completely unable to guard against Wade. The opponent broke through Zhu Fangyu like lightning and rushed into the penalty area, throwing the basketball towards the basket before Dayao stepped forward to defend.

The fiery touch made Wade convinced that the ball would be successful the moment he took action.

However, the moment he took action, Wang Chong suddenly came out from the wing, pointed his finger on the basketball, and the trajectory of the basketball was destroyed and deviated from the basket.

"what?"

Wade was startled and couldn't help turning his head to look at Wang Chong.

As Wang Chong's teammate and good brother in college, Wade, who also played against him many times in the NBA, knew Wang Chong well and knew that Wang Chong's physical fitness was already exhausted at this time and he could not run at all.

Because of this, Wade had no defense against Wang Chong.

The basketball bounced off the rim and was hugged down by Howard who was leaping high.

But Howard, who was about to take off for a dunk immediately after landing, was directly fouled by Dayao and went to the basket.

The floater that should have been a solid hit turned into a free throw, and the person who performed the free throw was Howard, who was the worst free throw shooter on the Dream Team.

Standing at the free throw line, Howard took a deep breath. The first free throw, which he had been planning for a long time, went straight away from the basket without any surprise.

The Dream Team and even the American fans who were paying attention to this game couldn't help but feel their hearts sink when they saw this, and an unpleasant feeling came to their hearts.

"If Howard misses both free throws...will he really lose this game?"

Is it really possible for the Dream Team to lose to a team like the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, which is not even ranked in the world of basketball? Is there such a big change just because Wang Chong joined?

Howard had been preparing for the second free throw for a long time. It was a crucial free throw and the pressure can be imagined.

If this free throw can be made, the two teams will tie the score. However, if both free throws are missed, the Dream Team will be at a disadvantage. The result of this free throw is likely to directly determine the outcome of the game.

Under tremendous pressure, Howard's second free throw affected everyone's minds.

In front of everyone's attention, Howard threw the basketball into the basket, and then... "Bang——!"

The basketball hit the back edge of the basket, and Yao immediately roared, overwhelming everyone to protect the rebound first.

At the same time, head coach Yunus immediately called the last timeout.

With 57 seconds left in the game, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has the ball and a 1-point lead, has the absolute initiative.

"King, I still have to rely on you for this next attack."

During the timeout, Yunus said to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong, who has scored 36 points, is definitely the most trustworthy player on the court, bar none!

After the timeout, the Huaguo men's basketball team served from midfield.

Wang Chong continued to use the double pick-and-roll screen to run to the outside to receive the serve. After receiving the ball, he accelerated directly towards the basket and forced a breakthrough without any pause.

<divclass="contentadv">The physical exertion caused his speed and explosive power to drop sharply. James easily kept up with Wang Chong and used his strength advantage to push Wang Chong to the outside. At the same time, Wade also leaned in Come over and form a double attack with James.

Wang Chong knew very well the situation he was facing. Although the attack time had only passed for a few seconds, he could no longer delay. Once the opponent formed a double-team, it would be too late to take action.

Thinking of this, Wang Chong immediately stopped suddenly, half-turned with James behind him, and connected with a fadeaway jumper.

Although it is a fadeaway jumper, Wang Chong is basically unable to jump in his current state, and his movements are more like Nowitzki's signature golden rooster independence.

The slight backward angle is to prevent James from blocking shots.

Wang Chong was quite good at learning Nuo Tianwang's signature stunts.

"Shh!"

The shots hit like a sure shot to the heart of the Dream Team.

This is actually possible! Wang Chong's scoring ability is really strong.

94:91, the Chinese men's basketball team is already 3 points ahead!

It's just that Wang Chong spent too little time in this attack. Only 6 seconds passed and 51 seconds remained.

The Dream Team immediately served from the baseline. James received a pass from his teammate and ran towards the frontcourt.

At this time, Wang Chong could no longer keep up with James' speed and physical strength. Let alone him, the players on the court of the Chinese men's basketball team were already very tired. Fighting against the Dream Team was different from previous games in Asia. The intensity and physical exertion of the confrontation were considerable.

But when James rushed to the frontcourt at lightning speed and was about to hit a huge flat-the-basket dunk, the referee's whistle sounded.

James stopped in confusion and looked back, only to see Wang Chong dragging Howard hard.

"Oops!"

James was suddenly startled.

FIBA's competition rules are different from those of the NBA. In the NBA, in order to eliminate the loopholes of opponents using shark-shattering tactics at critical moments in the final quarter, a rule was introduced that the ball holder must be fouled in the last 2 minutes of the game. If the ball holder is fouled in the last 2 minutes, An internal foul against a player without the ball will result in a direct penalty of 2 free throws and 1 throw.

But this rule does not exist in FIBA, because there are only a few players like O'Neal, Big Ben, and Howard who are bad at free throws. Especially in the European leagues, there are very few big men who can't shoot. Free throw situation.

Originally, the American men's basketball team was also very aware of the rules of this game, but they really didn't expect that the game with the Chinese men's basketball team would be so stalemate, and there was no chance to replace Howard just now.

Howard, who was fouled by a tactical foul, walked to the free throw line with a depressed look. This time he finally made the first free throw successfully, but the second one still missed.

With 4 of 1 free throws, Howard can be regarded as a direct waste of the Dream Team's precious offensive opportunities in two rounds.

Dayao once again protected the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Sun Yue.

Because the Dream Team focused all its defense on Wang Chong, the defense of other players of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team was much laxer. Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu worked together to successfully move the ball to the half court and successfully passed it to the inside lane. Yao's hands.

Dayao also had no strength at this time, but the game had reached this point, and he had to stop even if he was gritting his teeth to win.

With Howard's back on his back, Dayao turned and stepped to the basket and missed the layup, but the referee's whistle sounded again.

Howard made a defensive foul and sent Dayao to the free throw line.

In the last few minutes of the game, Howard was like an undercover agent, being targeted in turn. The Chinese men's basketball team had a chance to win this game, and thanks to Howard, no one dared to use chopsticks until Howard was present at the celebration party in the evening. That kind of thing.

Dayao's career free throw shooting percentage in the NBA is 83%, which is outstanding among centers. He is even more ruthless in free throws at such critical moments, making 2 of 2 free throws steadily.

At 96:92, the Huaguo men's basketball team's lead reached 4 points. It was no longer a point difference that could be caught up in one round.

What's worse is that there are only more than thirty seconds of game time left, so there is really not much time left for the dream team!

The American men's basketball team called a timeout. Now there is only one choice before the Dream Team, which is to shoot a three-pointer, then defend the Chinese men's basketball team from attacking for 24 seconds, and use the last few seconds to complete the buzzer-beater. Or tie the score.

Whether it is to kill the opponent or drag the game into overtime, the Dream Team will win the game, because the Chinese men's basketball team no longer has the physical strength to continue to compete with the Dream Team in overtime.

After the timeout, the Dream Team lineup was re-adjusted. Wade and James, who were not good at three-point shooting, were replaced. The lineup on the court became Paul, Michael Redd, Kobe, Anthony, and Bosh.

These five people are the players with the best outside shooting ability of the Dream Team. Anyone can see what the Dream Team is thinking.

The defensive focus of the Huaguo men's basketball team in the next round will naturally be placed outside the three-point line, even to the point of preventing shots but not sudden attacks. You can break through with the ball and hit the basket. I fully welcome it, but if you want to shoot three-pointers, you will have to worry about it. No!

After some entanglement, the basketball was finally handed over to Kobe. Kobe faced the defense and took a difficult drift shot one step away from the three-point line.

When the basketball flew toward the basket, everyone's hearts were in their throats. The fans at Wukesong Stadium had already stood up, nervously watching the parabola the basketball drew in the air.

"Kobe's super long three-pointer! This shot is very difficult!"

In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang's tone was much higher.

After the basketball circled in the basket, it was thrown out with inertia.

"Beautiful! Kobe missed a three-pointer! Arab League grabbed the defensive rebound! Winning! The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the invincible American Dream Team and won its first victory at Wukesong Stadium in the capital!"

The whole court instantly boiled with fans cheering and yelling crazily. Although the game was not over yet, Arab League grabbed the rebound and immediately protected the ball in his arms. Then he was immediately pounced on by Anthony's tactics. foul.

If this goal is not scored, the Dream Team basically has no hope of winning.

With 27 seconds left in the game, the Arab League went to the free throw line and made 2 of 1 free throws. Although it missed a shot, the difference between the two teams had reached 5 points. One attack could no longer solve the problem.

Sure enough, in the next offensive round of the Dream Team, Paul found an opportunity and finally scored a three-pointer. However, there were only 10 seconds left in the game. As the Dream Team once again used foul tactics, their foul target was only 2 seconds. It can be put on the UAE who just made 1 of 2 free throws. This time the UAE did not miss the opportunity, making 2 of 4 free throws, and the point difference came to points again.

In the last 10 seconds of offensive opportunity, the Dream Team failed to put the basketball into the basket.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the entire Wukesong Stadium was covered in deafening cheers from the audience.

Even the voice of the commentator on the live TV broadcast was a bit blurry.

"At the end of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American men's basketball team 99:95 and won the first victory in the group stage. Let us congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team. Today they are not afraid of strong enemies. Their tenacious struggle is the best embodiment of Olympic sports. Spiritual! This is a well-deserved and priceless victory!"

The audience in front of the TV looked at each other, especially some senior fans, with a strong feeling of unreality.

"Incredible! Did the men's basketball team really win? Defeat the American Dream Team?"

"Even the Dream Team can defeat it. Does the Chinese men's basketball team have a chance to win the championship in this Olympics?"

"Winning the first gold medal in the history of Chinese basketball at the Olympic Games held in the capital? Isn't this something you will brag about for the rest of your life?"

"I just want to say one thing, Wang ChongNB!"
