The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

The ball belongs to the American team.

Wade ran over to catch the ball, but Kobe signaled him to serve the ball. When the ball reached Kobe, Kobe's eyes had changed.

He could see that the Dragon Country was full of momentum at this time. No matter Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue or Zhu Fangyu, they all burst out to a level beyond their own limits under the blessing of this belief.

He could also see that the American team was in despair at this time. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the other members of the American team would have a hard time scoring.

The score difference has reached 16 points. If they continue to force the ball, once they make a mistake, the result will inevitably be devastating. Not only will the score difference continue to widen, but it also means that everyone's confidence will collapse, and the pressure will be as huge as a mountain.

Now it is not just about considering the problem of defense, but we have to solve the problem of scoring first, so let's do it ourselves!

The "heart-to-heart" when he was facing Lin Dong just now, he knew that he had reached the fourth level.

At the same level, offense is always greater than defense, which must be an unchanging iron law.

In the same realm, Lin Dong couldn't defend himself either!

Seeing that Kobe didn't pass the ball to Wade, but held the ball across the center line himself, several people on the US team also understood his intention. With his sudden evolution in this battle, everyone knew that this might be the last chance for the US team.

Wade didn't come up to ask for the ball, but pulled away to the top of the arc on the left. The other three members of the US team also cooperated to open up space. Even Duncan, who was closest to the inside, was already standing outside the paint area at this time. He had a stable mid-range shot in this position, forcing Yao Ming not to let him go and could only follow him out.

The situation on the court became clear in an instant, a one-on-one duel!

Kobe's control of the ball was not slow or fast, and he adjusted his breathing, as if he was accumulating all the strength in his life, while Lin Dong just steadily lowered his center of gravity and intercepted in front of Kobe, with a faint smile on his face.

Everyone watched intently, and Lao K's palms were sweating.

The evolved version of Kobe VS the ultimate Lin Dong.

It's not just about scoring, but also about the aura and fighting spirit of each other. If the ball goes in, the American team still has a chance, but if it doesn't go in, it means that the American team is already doomed.

Go for it!

Old K shouted in his heart.

The momentum of the two people is constantly rising, and they collide in the air through each other's fighting eyes.

At this moment, Kobe's eyes are only Lin Dong.

"The fourth floor, I'm here too." Kobe suddenly said.

To be honest, he admires Lin Dong very much. If it weren't for Lin Dong, he probably wouldn't know in his life that after the peak state 3 of the God of Basketball, there is a state 4. For those who want to surpass themselves, this is the greatest temptation in the world.

But Lin Dong just said lightly: "You haven't arrived yet."

"I know what you mean, you mean the so-called invincible mentality? As long as I haven't defeated you, I can't control this feeling?"

"It's not that only with the invincible thought can you reach the fourth level, or maybe my fourth level is temporarily possessed under your stimulation, but no matter what..." Kobe's eyes gathered, and he issued a final declaration of war to Lin Dong: "I have already arrived here, even if it's only this game, even if it's only this moment, I will take this opportunity to do my best to defeat you, and then get your so-called invincible belief and achieve the real fourth level! Right now!"

Lin Dong finally laughed: "You can't do it, because you got something wrong."

"What is it?"

Lin Dong stopped talking, just smiled slightly: "You will understand after this ball... Come on!"

Want to put pressure on me and mess up my mind?

Kobe stopped talking and took a deep breath.

What did I get wrong? Then let's see the truth on the court!

Huh...

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Kobe's eyes suddenly fixed, his body's center of gravity lowered, and the long-accumulated power burst out, rushing towards Lin Dong's right side like an arrow from a bow.

Super low body breakthrough!

The signature skill of the previous generation of basketball god, used by Kobe at this time, feels that the power and speed are no less than Jordan at his peak.

But Lin Dong in front of him moved to the right side as if he had expected it. Although they were accelerating and approaching each other, their centers of gravity were aligned, and the defensive route and the breakthrough route were exactly the same.

Kobe knew the opponent's ability and had never thought that he could step over in just one step.

What Jordan could do, he could do, and what Lin Dong could do, he could do too!

The rhythm of the super low body breakthrough suddenly paused, but it was not a stop, but a rhythm change like a frame drop, and the center of gravity was slightly retracted, as if he was about to turn around and change direction.

At this point, Kobe has a clear understanding of the rhythm of both sides. If Lin Dong does not follow and does not slightly retract his center of gravity, then the rhythm change of this fake move can easily become a real move.

If the opponent follows, then he will fall into his own rhythm. He controls the initiative and initiative of the offense. No matter how timely the opponent's defensive response is or how accurate the judgment is, he can always turn that initiative into a slight advantage of "a little faster than the opponent". After accumulating such advantages several times, he can turn it into a final breakthrough that is one step faster than the opponent!

In the past, he could not perform such a move even if he could see it clearly, but now, the natural state of the body in the fake fourth level realm provided Kobe with an absolute sense of control over the rhythm, allowing him to use the same technique as Lin Dong when he broke through him just now.

Under the same strength realm, he had to fight back the way Lin Dong hit him just now!

Lin Dong really followed, and Kobe could clearly feel the subtle changes in Lin Dong's center of gravity, so his rhythm changed and accelerated in an instant, and continued to rush to the right.

Lin Dong also accelerated and followed closely.

Kobe immediately followed with a spiral turn without slowing down. The huge potential energy of the forward rush just now was converted into rotation, which not only made this turn extremely fast, but also used his back to lean against Lin Dong's chest when turning.

The physical confrontation between the two instantly connected, and Kobe felt that Lin Dong's confrontation was very strong, but it seemed that because of the excessive use of strength, his flexibility decreased.

Mistake? Can a guy like Lin Dong also make mistakes?

In a flash, this thought only flashed through his mind. Kobe would not let go of any mistakes made by his opponent, not to mention that this opponent was Lin Dong!

Taking advantage of the opponent's power and center of gravity on the confrontation, Kobe had already completed the turn. The rotation of the pivot foot shortened the span distance, allowing his body to get stuck in Lin Dong's left defensive position!

Passed!

Feeling Lin Dong being pulled to his side by his right hand, and feeling that he had already bullied into Lin Dong's defensive position, Kobe did not feel happy in his heart, but was full of doubts and felt an unparalleled crisis at this moment.

Why is it so easy?

With Lin Dong's strength, he should be able to keep up with this step anyway!

Even if Lin Dong used this trick to hit him before, it was only after experiencing seven or eight changes of direction... Wait!

A thought of crisis has not yet turned in Kobe's mind, but he feels that his hands holding the ball are empty.

The ball was intercepted? !

How was it intercepted? When? !

He suddenly realized that Lin Dong, who was originally behind him, had disappeared...

No!

Kobe suddenly remembered that when he turned around just now, he seemed to see Lin Dong suddenly reaching out. At that time, he subconsciously thought that Lin Dong was just moving sideways to block him, but now he thought that he was reaching out to grab his ball in advance!

It was not that he turned around to get into his defensive position, nor that he easily blocked Lin Dong after turning around, but that guy did not compete with him for this position at all.

The opponent's attention was all on the ball just now. The opponent had already predicted his turn when he made the first breakthrough, and even predicted his dribbling route clearly.

The fierce confrontation just now was to provide him with a route to steal the ball. He didn't compete with me for position at all. He didn't follow the rhythm of the attacker like I did before. He...

Kobe turned his head in shock, but saw that Lin Dong, who easily stole the ball, had already rushed out two steps, grabbed the basketball that was still falling forward, and rushed into the empty basket in the backcourt of the United States.

At this time, there was only Lin Dong in the entire backcourt of the United States. Whether it was Kobe or other members of the American team, everyone seemed to have forgotten to chase and defend and fight at this moment.

Lin Dong jumped high with the ball and made a tomahawk dunk.

Boom!

114:96, 18 points difference!

This scene changed so quickly that the Wukesong Sports Center became silent at this time.

Kobe on the court showed shock in his eyes, and Wade, Duncan and others on the side opened their mouths wide.

From the evenly matched momentum confrontation between the two just now, to attracting everyone's attention, to Kobe's super low-body breakthrough beyond the limit.

Everyone thought that this would be the most exciting and the craziest ball in this round of the Olympics, but it ended quickly in this way...

On the sidelines, Lao K's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Dong.

Lin Dong fell to the ground after hanging the frame, turned around and looked at Kobe who was still sluggish over there.

Kobe's eyes were full of disbelief.

Mistake?

No, this is not his own mistake.

Frankly speaking, with the help of the fake fourth level realm, his breakthrough just now, no matter the speed, rhythm or deception, has reached the level of Lin Dong's breakthrough, Kobe is extremely sure of this.

And in his own understanding, with such a breakthrough, no one can defend it anymore.

But...

Is this what Lin Dong meant by "you can't win"? Is this what Lin Dong meant by "you will understand after this ball"?

But, but I still don't understand!

Why is this? !

Why did he clearly achieve a breakthrough at the level of Lin Dong, but was intercepted by the opponent more easily? Was it just because he was familiar with his own moves? But he was not a wooden stake. He really understood Lin Dong's rhythm, and his movements were not exactly the same as Lin Dong's...

At this time, the audience in the stands did not have so many complicated thoughts. Kobe, who was regarded as the last savior of the US team, lost more ugly than Wade before.

The lifeline of 15 points was not pulled back by Kobe, but was further expanded to 18 points.

Winning is certain!

All the Dragon Country audiences could not help but cheer excitedly because of the almost certain joy in their hearts.

——Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!

——MVP! MVP! MVP!

——We will definitely win!

The momentum continued after the momentum, blessing all the Dragon people's hope. At this moment, it seemed that even God was on the side of Dragon Country.

The last will of the American team was finally broken at this moment.

Wade, Duncan and others felt a sudden sense of relief, and the light in their eyes became dim.

Old K on the sidelines suddenly softened all over, sat back on the chair, just staring at the court blankly, no longer making any sound.

Lin Dong returned to defense amid the cheers of the whole audience, but the five players of the American team were sluggish, and no one realized that they should return to the court to serve.

Kobe looked at Lin Dong with shock and confusion in his eyes, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Lin Dong was startled and scratched his head.

Why? This is really a bit difficult to explain.

Kobe only entered the fourth level because of his desire to win and his will to surpass himself, and then under his own stimulation and drive, he was just imitating himself.

Lin Dong couldn't help but think of a sentence that once described a pop king: always imitated, never surpassed.

He is probably in this state now.

Because of imitation and the desire to surpass himself, Kobe may have the absolute control of the body, rhythm, and nature in the fourth level, but he still doesn't have the awareness and prediction that the fourth level should have.

To put it bluntly, Kobe's understanding of rhythm is still at the physical level.

But the real fourth level rhythm is not just a simple fast or slow movement.

It is to control the changes in people's hearts and predict all the actions of the opponent. This must be deduced based on everything that changes rapidly on the court, and it is even close to an instinct.

Actions can be imitated, skills can be stolen, and physical fitness can be approached through exercise, but can thoughts be imitated?

The only thing in this world that cannot be replicated is human thoughts.

Who says that defense must only be defense?

Defense can also be offensive, as long as you predict accurately enough, and only when you can control this offensive and defensive rhythm freely, that is the essence of the fourth level of rhythm!

What's more, the opponent is still using his own skills to hit himself.

Lin Dong doesn't even need to observe and predict too much.

After all, no one knows this trick better than him. Even if he relies on his body's instinctive reaction, he can always turn defense into offense!

What Kobe learned is only the external manifestation of rhythm, but he can never understand the essence of rhythm. It is impossible to defeat himself.

Although Lin Dong thought about the cause and effect in his mind, he didn't say it to Kobe.

It's not that he hides it, but some things can't be explained in a few words, and it's not appropriate to preach on the spot.

So he just smiled and said in a joking tone: "Because I am Lin Dong!"

Kobe was stunned, stared at Lin Dong for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.

Although there were still 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kobe already knew that the US team was doomed. The ball just now not only stole his ball, but also crushed all the confidence of the US team.

And Lin Dong's answer was not wrong.

Yes... There was only one reason why he lost, and that was because his opponent was Lin Dong!
