But it can be seen that he is still looking forward to meeting the Chinese team in the final and beating Lin Ying once.

"the same as you."

Lin Ying replied.

The dream team is the boss of the World Series, who doesn’t want to win once!

After Durant and the others left, Lin Ying turned around and saw Yao Ming looking at their backs for a long time.

From the look in his eyes, he must be eager to play against the Dream Nine Team.

…

The next day the men's basketball team went to Ankara Stadium for training.

When they arrived at the entrance of the stadium, they discovered a very interesting thing.

On the promotional poster at the entrance of the arena, both Yao Ming and Lin Ying are present, and they are the only team with two of them.

It may be a bit strange to say it, but they are really the top team in this World Championship!

…

The opponent of the men's basketball team in the quarter-finals is the Croatian men's basketball team.

The Croatian men's basketball team performed well in the Beijing Olympics and finished seventh.

However, their performance in this World Championship was a bit dismal, with 2 wins and 3 losses in the group stage, and their form was not good.

But in the knockout rounds, the Croatian played his best form in the World Championships.

Although there are no NBA players in the lineup, the smart European style of play is pleasing to the eye.

Especially by relying on quick defense, they successfully limited Lin Ying's misplaced singles.

Facts have proven that international competition comes much faster than the NBA.

They once led the Chinese team at halftime.

Then in the second half, Yunus used the pick-and-roll tactics of Lin Ying and Yao Ming.

This left Croatia completely unable to cope.

The improvement of Lin Ying's ball-handling skills, coupled with Yao Ming's flexibility after losing weight, this is the classic choice of drinking twice the poison.

And the key is that these two people are also incredibly capable of dislocation.

Under the leadership of the two of them, the men's basketball team launched a crazy 18-0 attack wave, directly ending the suspense of the game early.

According to statistics after the game, there were only two people on the Croatian side who scored in double figures. One was Mark Popovich who scored 16 points, and the other was Bojan Bogdanovic who had not yet landed in the NBA and scored 13 points.

.

For the Chinese team, Yao Ming scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, while Lin Ying scored a game-high 24 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Chinese twin stars dominate the game.

After the game, the Croatian head coach shook his head with a helpless expression, which became the most realistic portrayal of this game.

But the most interesting thing was that after the game, Lin Ying was asked by Mark Popovich to take a photo and sign an autograph.

Here is a hot NBA fact: Popovich of the Spurs is an American of Serbian and Croatian descent.

Therefore, anyone with qi in their name belongs to them.

The morale of the 16-to-8 men's basketball team was greatly improved, especially after Yunus discovered that Lin Ying was stronger than in the 2008 Olympics, and developed the pick-and-roll tactics between him and Yao Ming, showing off the style of a famous coach.

After defeating Croatia, the men's basketball team met Spain in the quarterfinals four days later.

It was at this time that the fans suddenly discovered that the schedule of the Chinese men's basketball team was not a bit miserable, it was the most difficult road to promotion!

Spain is as slow as ever. With 3 wins and 2 losses in the group stage, they easily defeated their old rival Greece after entering the knockout round.

Although Pau Gasol did not come, Marc Gasol carried the team's inside banner; Calderon did not come, and the "golden boy" Rubio played more smartly and brilliantly.

However, the Chinese team was also in good condition, and the two sides played a close match.

The game lasted until 30 seconds before the end, when the score was 91 to 89, with the Chinese team leading.

In the Spanish team's last attack, Navarro cut in and received Rubio's pass, facing Yao Ming's early shot and drawing a high parabola.

This is a Spanish depth charge, heading straight for Huanglong.

And Yao Ming didn't have time to take off.

But just when the Chinese fans were despairing, a familiar figure jumped up from Yao Ming's side.

Lin Ying!

"Crack!"

A shot directly turned the Spaniard's hope into despair.

My hero will come one day riding on colorful auspicious clouds, and this is the moment!

Lin Ying was finally sent to the free throw line, and he made two steady free throws to end the suspense of the game.

The Chinese team is close to the semi-finals!

And their opponent in the semi-finals is the host Türkiye team!

The performance of the Turkish team in this World Championship is impressive.

Ranked only fifth in the fiba rating, they won the first place in Group C under the leadership of the team's trident Turkoglu, Ilyasova and Asik, and have not lost a single game so far.

The home whistle is definitely a bit lacking, but their own performance is also outstanding.

Compared with the previous games, the intensity of the competition in this game was obviously more intense, and conflicts also broke out during the game.

Turkoglu elbowed Yi Jianlian during the game, and was later elbowed back by Lin Ying in the same way.

The two sides even almost broke out into a full-scale conflict.

Obviously, the only chance for the Turks to take the cards may be now, and they are not easy at all.

The game got very intense and there were constant disputes and penalties.

However, at the critical moment, Lin Ying showed MVP-level psychological quality. After being called for defensive and offensive fouls in succession, he began to go berserk. He made three consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and the last one was a 3+ shot against Turkoglu.

1!

The entire Ankara Stadium fell silent.

It’s not that we don’t have enough power, but the enemy has Gundam!

In the end, Turkoglu's pent-up emotions finally broke out, pushing Lin Ying to the ground and being directly expelled from the game.

Lin Ying was lying on the ground. For the first time, he had no intention of getting up to fight. Instead, he smiled and watched Turkoglu leave the field.

When Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian came to pull him up, he also let out a long breath.

Hey, you’re mature!

81 to 68.

In the end, the Chinese team, led by Lin Ying's 25 points, defeated the host and reached the finals of the World Series for the first time in history!

Their opponent will be the winner between the United States and Lithuania.
Chapter completed!
