Chapter 775: Finals: Overcoming strength with softness

　　 August 24, the last day of the Olympic Games.
　　 The 18,000 seats in Wukesong Arena are full, and red flags can be seen everywhere.
　　 Today, this is our home court. More than 10,000 people in the audience and 1.3 billion people in front of the TV will cheer for the boys of the Chinese men's basketball team.
　　 "China team, come on!"
　　 "Li Nan, come on!"
　　 The game hasn't started yet, and the sound of cheering is lingering in the arena.
　　 On the broadcast booth, TNT commentator Groom Albert appeared in front of the camera.
　　"Beijing Olympics Men's Basketball Finals: China vs. the United States.
　　 The two strongest teams met at the end. This is the best script for the Olympic men's basketball game.
　　 In 2004, the Chinese men's basketball team took the Olympic gold medal from the US team.
　　 In 2006, the U.S. men's basketball team narrowly beat the Chinese team by 1 point and regained the World Championship championship.
　　 In 2008, two strong teams competed against each other. Who will the final victory belong to?
　　 Is the Chinese team playing at home with Li Nan, the first player in the NBA? Or the American Dream Team with a super luxurious lineup?
　　 We will wait and see. "
　　 beep beep!
　　 The referee's whistle urged the players on both sides to play.
Chinese team:
　　 Liu Wei, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Dazhi, Yao Liang,
　　 US team:
　　 Kidd, Kobe, James, Garnett, O'Neal.
　　.
　　 As soon as he came on the field, Li Nan felt several vicious eyes from the opponent, and he felt like he was about to tear himself apart.
　　 Suddenly, Li Nan stepped forward and pointed at Kobe.
"Kobe, I heard that you made up with O'Neal? I'm going to talk about you like this. Is there anything in our Yao Liang that I'm sorry about you? How can you betray our Yao Liang like this? Huh? "
　　 Hearing what Li Nan said, Yao Liang, the big man beside him, rolled his eyes: Brother, can you not bring me in? Makes me like a little daughter-in-law. I'm a big guy with a height of 226!
that side.
　　 "I..." Kobe had just stared at Li Nan fiercely, but now he couldn't say a word.
　　 At the Olympics, he reconciled with O'Neal. But isn't that to deal with the Chinese team and Li Nan?
　　 Thinking of this, Kobe suddenly became hardened.
　　 "I'll make up with Shaq, can you control it?"
　　 As he said, Kobe and O'Neal hooked up their backs, brothers are good.
　　 Li Nan smiled and clapped, "Congratulations, congratulations."
　　 Kobe and O'Neal said at the same time: "Lee, you wait! We want you to look good!"
　　 Li Nan hooked Kobe and the others, "Come on! Just let the horse come."
　　 did not forget to add, "Oh, yes, don’t cry if you lose later. I will only beat people and cry, not comfort them.
　　 Kobe looked at O'Neal involuntarily, but found that O'Neal was also looking at himself.
　　 "He said you!"
　　 "He said you!"
　　 Then, the two of them froze at the same time, shook their heads at the same time, and finally twisted the beginning in disgust at the same time.
　　.
　　 The players on both sides are ready.
　　 O'Neal and Yao Liang squeezed side by side in the center circle, Li Nan and Kobe squeezed on one side, Zhu Fangyu and James were fighting on the side, Wang Dazhi and Liu Wei were in the backcourt, Kidd and Garnett guarded their home.
　　 beep!
　　 There was a whistle, and the audience suddenly became nervous.
　　 The referee threw the ball into the sky.
　　 O'Neal and Yao Liang suddenly jumped up to the basketball.
　　 Both hands hit the ball at the same time. The ball suddenly changed direction and flew to Zhu Fangyu and James.
　　 James got the ball first.
　　 The moment he got the ball, James didn't make any stop, and directly took the ball and rushed to the backcourt of the Chinese team.
　　 James drove Liu Wei, who was in the lead, to the basket and forced a layup.
"Be careful!"
　　 I don’t know if it’s because of this reminder, or James had been prepared. When Li Nanfei behind him pounced, James magically did not choose to layup, but instead scored the ball.
　　 What a coincidence, it was given to Kobe who just reminded James!
　　 Li Nan flew by behind James, he could only watch Kobe in the air as he flew to the basket and then blinked away proudly.
　　 opened, and came to dismiss the horse.
　　 Li Nan knew that it was not easy to win today's game.
　　 "China team, come on, China team, come on!"
　　 At this time, all the fans standing in the stadium shouted loudly to cheer the Chinese team.
　　 Li Nan smiled at the corner of his mouth and clenched his fist!
　　For you!
　　In the frontcourt, Liu Wei handed the ball to Li Nan's hands.
　　 As soon as he got the ball, Li Nan had only Kobe in front of him, and the US team had no intention of double-teaming.
　　Li Nan directly greeted Yao Liang's pick and roll.
　　 one file and one split.
　　 Yao Liang completely covered Kobe. Although O'Neal followed, the defense was still slow.
　　 Li Nan did not advance and retreated, stepped back, and directly shot a three-pointer.
　　 At the 6.25-meter three-point line, Li Nan made a very comfortable shot.
　　嗖!
　　 Basketball also simply got into the net.
　　3-2
"Yay!!!"
　　 The fans all cheered.
　　 It's just that most people didn't do it, but continued to stand and cheer for the team.
　　 When the American attack came, the fans shouted loudly.
　　 "Defense, defense, defense!"
　　 Under the influence of such an atmosphere, all the players of the Chinese team became excited.
　　 Li Nan himself is the same.
　　 Sometimes it’s good to play at home, but sometimes it’s not so good.
　　 It's easy for fans to get players too excited.
　　 At that Olympics, the first half was very fierce, and it matched the American team. But what about the second half? It feels like taking time out of myself.
　　 This is the impact of the home game on the home team.
　　 Although Li Nan is very confident in the physical fitness of the players on the team, sometimes the psychological effects can make the body and mind exhausted and accelerated. I have to guard against it.
　　 Thinking of this, Li Nan also had cares.
　　 At this time, Kobe also slowly leaned over, without greeting, Garnett, the iron-blooded power forward who almost became a member of the Purple and Gold Army, came up.
　　Pick-and-roll!
　　 The semicircle of the Olympic three-point line at 6.25 is too crowded. Pick-and-roll is the best and most practical tactic.
　　 one file and one split.
　　 Kobe frowned.
　　Because, Li Nan's speed around the pick and roll is too fast. Before Kobe made any room, Li Nan came up directly.
　　 Compare Yao Liang, Kobe gave Garnett a bad review.
　　 However, Kobe will not miss the opportunity.
　　 When Li Nan's foothold was not stable, Kobe directly lowered his center of gravity and went straight into the three-point line.
　　 drove in diagonally forward from a 45-degree angle.
　　 It's just that Kobe is facing Li Nan on the left front, and the path forward is skewed, at most 15 degrees.
　　 was originally to get into the basket, but in the end he went to the corner of the "T" in the paint zone and the bottom line.
　　 power!
　　 Kobe suffered a loss in power.
　　 However, at this time, a man appeared on their path.
　　O'Neal!
　　 Kobe smiled.
　　 O'Neal blocked Li Nan's way.
　　 Kobe quickly walked around O'Neal and jumped directly from the ground, making a mid-range jumper.
　　嗖!
　　 hits steadily.
　　3-4
　　 Kobe feels really good today.
　　 After this goal, Kobe followed and hit the Chinese team a few goals.
　　 At the beginning, except for Li Nan, the Chinese team played hard and made several unnecessary mistakes.
　　 The US team constantly seizes opportunities and plays back and forth.
　　 After James made a quick pass to Kobe and completed an empty dunk, the score on the court quickly came to 8-14
　　 The US team leads slightly by 6 points.
　　 Watching Yao Liang and Wang Dazhi both try their best to rush forward, Li Nan took the initiative to get the ball in the backcourt.
　　 After getting the ball, Li Nan slowly dribbled through the half, and the US team was still Kobe Bryant defending Li Nan. Although Li Nan scored 6 points, the US team still did not choose to double-team. They seem to be determined to let Kobe defend Li Nan today.
　　 However, Li Nan didn't have the idea of ​​continuing to score by himself.
　　 He understood the defense of the US team. This is to guard against the other four people and let Li Nan play against the American team alone. However, Li Nan did not do so.
　　 He believes in his brothers.
　　Everyone has experienced a lot of battles, so what about the dream team on the opposite side? Li Nan believes that brothers can definitely do it!
　　 was protecting the ball sideways, Li Nan singled his finger and shouted:
"Brothers, slow down, slow down, don't rush! Let's play one steadily, don't run so tired. Didn't you see? The boys below Wu You can't wait to play. You want to be replaced by them. Go down?"
　　 Of course I don’t want to!
　　On the field, Yao Liang and Wang Dazhi answered in their hearts unconsciously.
　　 However, they didn't know why, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after such an answer.
　　 started a few times like that. They didn't even touch the ball.
　　 Now that they heard Li Nan's words, they felt a lot more comfortable.
　　 "Pull, pull, let Yao Liang hit the ball first."
　　 Talking, Li Nan drove Kobe, and dropped the ball into the hands of Wang Dazhi on the wing.
　　Wang Dazhi took the ball without stopping, and directly gave it to Yao Liang, who was stuck inside.
　　 Yao Liang pk O'Neill.
　　 This is a topic that Yao Liang has been speculating since he entered the NBA.
　　 In the confrontation between the two people, Mars hits the earth every time, and both win and lose.
　　 This time, the two met again.
　　 Yao Liang turned around and walked fast.
　　 O'Neal held the position, motionless.
　　 Is he responding too slowly?
　　 No!
　　 When Yao Liang turned over to take a jumper, O'Neal suddenly jumped up with all his strength.
　　 This time, Yao Liang's shot was not straight enough, and he was almost covered by O'Neal.
　　 But, it’s almost a bit.
　　嗖!
　　 Go in!
"Wow!!!!"
　　 There was cheers on the scene.
　　.
　　 Turn around, the American team's offense.
　　 Kobe dropped the ball to O'Neal.
　　 O'Neal has no chance of singles.
　　 Yao Liang and Wang Dazhi directly double-teamed.
　　 The two elders raised their hands in front of him. O'Neal played smartly and passed the ball from behind Wang Dazhi to Garnett.
　　 Wang Dazhi quickly turned around and threw himself out.
　　 Garnett's thoughts that he was going to advance suddenly disappeared, and he pulled up directly on the spot.
　　 Jagged big jumper shot.
　　嗖!
　　 steady hit!
　　 The U.S. team retreated quickly, but the Chinese team still dribbled the ball slowly over the half, without any idea of ​​chasing after it.
　　 "Da Zhi, hit one!"
　　 This ball, Li Nan first passed to Zhu Fangyu, after Zhu Fangyu's hand, passed the ball into the hand of Zhu Fangyu on the flanks.
　　 Turning his back to Garnett, who was tough behind him, Wang Dazhi played very hard.
　　Peng!
　　 Wang Dazhi directly hit Garnett.
　　 This collision caused Garnett, who was unprepared, to take a step back.
"Wow!"
　　 The audience exclaimed. Everyone was amazed at Wang Dazhi's physical strength.
　　 At this moment, Wang Dazhi hit again!
"Wow!"
　　 Amidst the exclamation at the scene, Garnett took the bump raw. With a defensive Garnett, this time he didn't suffer such a big loss.
the third time!
　　 Wang Dazhi is coming again.
　　 Garnett gritted his teeth, ready to eat again.
　　 However, when Wang Dazhi was about to hit Garnett, he suddenly turned sideways and leaned on his side. Using Garnett as the axis, he turned around and took a big step. Wang Dazhi went directly into the paint area.
　　 There is no one in the penalty area!
　　Because everyone believes that Garnett can defend Wang Dazhi.
　　 But, no.
　　 Seeing that there was no one inside, Wang Dazhi was not welcome. He went in and the Dapeng spread his wings.
　　 Boom!
　　 Directly, a heavy slash was successful.
"Yay!"
　　 This buckle directly ignited the passion of the live fans.
　　 The Chinese team had just dunked, and the American team had a quick serve. Kobe accelerated from the left and directly killed Li Nan.
　　 A pass and found James in the middle.
　　 James passed the defensive Zhu Fangyu, went to the basket, bounced directly and dunked successfully.
　　 On the Chinese team's side, Zhu Fangyu's L-shaped run left LeBron James and directly shot a three-pointer.
　　 James couldn't catch up, so he could only watch the Cavaliers teammate throw the ball.
　　 three points!
　　 James shook his head.
　　 He finally knew why those defending Zhu Fangyu had those helpless expressions.
　　......
　　 The game slowly opened up. If one goal is scored here, one must be returned there.
　　 The score was entangled, and no one was able to pull the opponent away.
　　 Seeing that the American team's round-trip speed was slowly slowed down by the Chinese team, the old coach K stood up.
　　 "Jason, rhythm, rhythm!"
　　 Kidd on the field was still slowly moving through the half-court, but suddenly it was a bold and diagonal long-distance hitting pass, and he found James who had a chance to play in the frontcourt.
　　 Outside the 45-degree angle of the three-point line, James suddenly got the ball up to speed, went inside, pushed Zhu Fangyu to the basket, and licked the basket.
　　 hit!
　　 Just after scoring the goal, the US team played a full court press.
　　 The Chinese team put the ball in Liu Wei's hands.
　　 Liu Wei faced Kidd's oppressive defense, but he didn't panic at all.
boom! boom!
　　 Chicken Thief Kidd counted Liu Wei's rhythmic dribble point. First, he let Liu Wei take a step, then suddenly leaned forward and stretched out his left hand.
　　 Liu Wei subconsciously dribbled the ball with his right hand under the crotch, and accidentally avoided Kidd’s grab.
　　Who knows, Kidd is a lie, he still has a trick.
　　 immediately grabbed the right hand!
　　 However, Liu Wei subconsciously dribbled the ball from the back of his left hand, then speeded up and killed it from the right. .
"Wow!"
　　 In the exclamation, Kidd knelt on one knee, but Liu Wei had already left.
　　 The frontcourt formed 5 on 4.
　　 Liu Wei slowed down outside the three-point line and made a move.
　　 James defending Zhu Fangyu jumped out.
　　 Liu Wei was not in a hurry and passed the ball directly to Zhu Fangyu.
　　 Zhu Fangyu raised his hand, and O'Neill inside also speeded up the pace and turned out.
　　 However, Zhu Fangyu didn't make a shot, but dashed past and went inside.
　　 At this time, Garnett had two defenses, Zhu Fangyu and Yao Liang, he had to make a choice.
　　 Zhu Fangyu came in and yelled deliberately.
　　 "Yao!"
　　 Garnett quickly retreated.
　　Who knows, Zhu Fangyu passed the ball to the bottom corner of this side.
　　 Wang Dazhi!
　　 Kobe has chased him.
　　Who knows, Wang Dazhi closed his shot and made a pass, as if to pass to Li Nan.
　　 Kobe immediately stopped in place.
　　 Then, Wang Dazhi smiled and jumped up to shoot.
　　嗖!
　　 three-pointer!
　　 The crisp sound of basketball entering the net resounded through the audience, refreshing!
　　 "Wang Dazhi!" "Good job!"
　　 The audience cheered.
　　 But Wang Dazhi didn't have the same thing, turned around and ran back.
　　Flick your clothes away, and hide your merit and fame deeply!
　　.
　　 That's it, you come and I go with each other.
　　 What the American team wants is to speed up and constantly raise the rhythm of the game.
　　 But the Chinese team is not in a hurry.
　　 If you have a chance, you don’t have to fight. Find the best chance. Organize slowly when you have no chance, and look for opportunities slowly.
　　 The US team wants to play fast break, want to play offensive waves to open the score, but every time it is played on cotton, it is always resolved by the slow pace of the Chinese team.
　　 Overcome strength with softness!
　　 The Chinese team interpreted this word vividly in the first half.
　　 At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 56-51. It turned out that the Chinese team led by 5 points.
　　.
　　 At halftime, the US team trailed by 5 points.
　　 The old coach K who walked in the player channel also had to sigh, "The Chinese team has really improved again."
　　 2 years ago, he led the team and played with the Chinese team. At that time, the Chinese team relied more on Li Nan's containment power. Although Li Nan's containment power is still influential now, the other starters of the Chinese team all have the ability to stand alone.
　　 However, coach K is still full of confidence in the current lineup of the US team.
　　 The US team led by Larry Brown's coaches was completely random and ununited.
　　 The current lineup was carefully selected by him himself, and after a month of running-in training.
　　 Coach K attaches great importance to the Chinese team. He knows that the Chinese team is very good. He even thinks that the strength of the Chinese team and the US team is between the two.
　　 Of course, the old coach K still believes that the American team will win.
　　The strongest of the Chinese team is only Li Nan, a few starters are okay, but the American team is all strong!
　　 The old coach K will use brother basketball, teamwork basketball to defeat the Chinese team and return the US team to the world's number one.
　　 "American basketball wants to return to the top, I can only rely on me and you!"
　　 It’s just that other people’s ideas are different.
　　.
　　 In the lounge, everyone on the American team looked solemn.
　　 The Olympic Games in Athens 4 years ago are still vivid.
　　 At that time, the Chinese team was supported by Li Nan. Although Kobe gave a chance at the end, everyone knows that Li Nan was really strong at that time. At that time, the Chinese team really only had Li Nan alone as a threat.
　　 The current Chinese team is a soldier of all the people, no, not only soldiers, but generals!
　　Even the players on the bench are like tigers, all of them playing fiercely.
　　 In the first half of the U.S. team, everyone tried their best and kept fighting each other. As a result, the Chinese team was ahead!
　　 Although it is only 5 points, but this is really too hurt for the American team who has come out and tried their best.
　　 Moreover, what’s even more hurt is that Li Nan, the Chinese team’s big killer, didn’t make a lot of shots in the first half!
　　 In the second half, if Li Nan suddenly broke out, as it did in the NBA games in the past two years, what shall we do? Who can stop us?
　　 James remembered last year's NBA Finals. "The future is yours," James doesn't believe it at all now. Li Nan is now 30 years old, and looking at that state, at least there is still a peak of five, six, seven or eight years. Where is my future?
　　 Iverson remembered the last game of this year's finals. Although Li Nan scored 70 points, he scored 69 points, but, Iverson knew that Li Nan kept his hands. You can tell from Li Nan's 12 assists that Li Nan has given up many opportunities.
　　 Kobe remembered the past few years against Li Nan and the Nuggets. As long as Li Nan wants to score, the Lakers can't stop them. Today, Li Nan got 4 of 4 and scored 11 points. At other times, other players from the Chinese team shot. Kobe knew that this was Li Nan giving his teammates a chance. Once Li Nan really starts fighting, it will definitely be stronger than this year's playoffs, right?
　　......
　　 just when everyone is thinking about it.
"Hey!"
　　 The old Coach K, who just walked into the lounge, called out, which echoed directly in the lounge.
　　 Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and they all focused on Coach K.
　　 Old Coach K walked slowly into the lounge and stood in the middle of everyone.
"Our opponent, the Chinese team, is very strong. Yao, Zhu, Wang, and Liu have all caused a lot of damage to our defense. Also, Yi and Wu in their bench, each of them showed a very strong fighting spirit. And, most importantly, our man-to-man defense did not even force Li to increase his shots."
　　 Old Coach K's eyes swept over everyone present. He found that unwillingness appeared in the eyes of everyone, and some even appeared depressed.
　　 Depressed!
　　In the American Dream Team players, there is even frustration!
　　 This is what the old coach K did not expect.
　　 Is this still a dream team?
"We have to admit that our American men's basketball team is no longer the number one in the world. With Li and the Chinese team, our status can only be equal to that of the Chinese team. This is the current situation, what about the future? We will be surpassed by the Chinese team, and we will become second in the world. We will even become third, fourth and fifth!"
　　 Scanning again for a week, the old coach K found that these people are really disappointing. His words were so exciting, but no one stood up to refute himself.
　　 I have no confidence at all! Is this still the American Dream Team?
　　 Coach K waited for a while.
　　 Still no one stood up to refute himself!
　　 shook his head.
　　 There was a trace of "satisfaction" in his heart, but now it is all gone!
boom!
a slap!
　　 The old coach K flies the drawing board!
　　 Everyone was so excited that they almost jumped up.
　　 Looking at the old man with red eyes, is this still coach K?
　　 At this moment, coach K spoke up again.
　　 "In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, our dream team swept the world, scoring an average of 117.3 points per game and earning 43.8 points per game.
　　 In the 1994 World Championships in Toronto, our dream team was in a state of power, averaging 37.7 points per game and 120.1 points per game. At that time, we won the Chinese team by 55 points!
　　 At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, our dream team was the only one in the world, averaging a 30.3 point margin against the opponent! We won the Chinese team by 27 points!
　　 Why? Why are we now reduced to competing with the Chinese team? Or even overwhelmed by the Chinese team?
　　 Our young people are really inferior to one generation.
　　 Look at your current virtues!
　　Are you guys on the dream team? Do you deserve to be a member of the dream team? "
　　 When talking about this, the old coach K's body was a little trembling, but those people still didn't respond. Of course, their heads were lowered.
　　 I hate that iron can't make steel. Coach K stepped forward and kicked the drawing board with a bang. Really angry!
"What brother basketball, do you think I would like to play? I would rather sit on the bench like Chuck Daly of the Dream Team for a whole game, without calling a timeout, and comfortably pass the whole game. ! But, can you guys? Huh?"
　　 At this time, someone finally stood up.
　　 "Yes! We can!"
　　 Kobe!
　　 Kobe Bryant!
　　 Kobe stubbornly tilted his mouth, his face is very determined!
　　 Old Coach K frowned and glanced at Kobe, but then looked at others.
　　 "We can!"
　　 Allen Iverson stood up.
　　 "We can!"
　　 O'Neal stood up.
　　 "We can!"
　　 James, Paul... and others all stood up.
　　 Coach K said sharply:
　　 "No, you can't! You can't even beat the Chinese team, you can't! You will only make our citizens worry more!"
　　 The crowd was in high spirits and shouted in unison:
　　 "No! We can! We can beat the Chinese team!"
　　 Coach K put his hands behind his back and walked in front of everyone, staring at each of them closely for a while.
　　 "Well, I believe you can do it for the time being. But, how do you play next? How do you play in the second half? If Li suddenly breaks out~EbookFREE.me~Who can stop it?"
　　 After three consecutive questions, the lounge was quiet for a while.
　　 Kobe took the lead and said, "Fight with them!"
　　 "Yes, we fight with them!"
　　 The sentiment is angered!
　　 "hen~" Coach K smiled faintly, disappointed!
　　 Finally, the cunning Kidd said, "Coach, we all listen to you!"
　　 Kobe's people took a look at Kidd, and then they all said: "Coach, we all listen to you."
　　 then walked a few steps forward, picked up the drawing board, and wrote on it:
　　 "Yao: 3Wang: 3, Zhu: 3"
　　 "KB→Li←LBJ"
　　 After writing these, everyone of course understood at a glance. The three starters of the Chinese team, Yao Liang, Wang Dazhi, and Zhu Fangyu, all have three fouls, which can be taken advantage of.
After 　　 it is better to understand, we got rid of the three starters of the Chinese team, and then double-teamed Li Nan. The rest of the Chinese team should not be afraid.
　　 At this time, the old coach K said:
　　 "We need an offensive wave!"
