Chapter 12 The Olympic Finals of the Classics(1/2)
Wukesong, the Olympic men's basketball final is half over.
The Dream Team played a completely different game from the first game of the group stage, and the score opened very early.
At the end of the half, they led the men's basketball team by 13 points with a score of 49 to 36.
Coach K made a ruthless move at the beginning. He learned the "learning" of the group stage and set up a lineup that was very suitable for playing in the men's basketball team at the beginning.
Point guard Chris Cannon, shooting guard Kobe, small forward Lebang, power forward Boozer, center spark.
Then, relying on Lebang, one defense against Li Ke, and one defense against Boozer, one defense against Da Yao, supplemented with certain auxiliary defense, basically strangled the two strong points of the men's basketball team.
The Dream Team's offense is even simpler. Just stare at the outside military training of the men's basketball team other than Li Ke. One-on-one, Dasheng, Brother Wei, and Wang Qi and Zhu Ba who came from the bench were unable to make effective defense.
In short, in a group match, Coach K found the weakness of the men's basketball team.
In the finals, he needs to do it to amplify these weaknesses.
Not very difficult, very easy.
The Dream Team did this, so the score was widened.
For men's basketball team, the weak and the strong are the ones that can be played.
But in this game, the Dream Team lost the men's basketball team's tone at the beginning.
In the third quarter, the men's basketball team could only survive.
Li Ke has not given up yet, and his playing style has become increasingly extreme.
Kobe's existence once again made him lose his peak Du's cheat.
With Lebang's defense, Li Ke scored a three-pointer.
Bang-!
The sound of the ironwork was very clear because Wukesong had already been silent.
But at the basket, Yao jumped up and grabbed the rebound, cheers still rushed like a tide.
"Yao Yao grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in? No, Howard has stuck his turn around and can only pass back..."
Outside the three-point line, Li Ke received the ball again, and Lebang was still staring at him closely.
However, under the gaze of the whole audience, Li Ke aimed at the basket with one crotch and two crotch, and then made another three-pointer.
Bang-!
This time, the audience sighed.
TNT TV station, Barkley shook his head: "Obviously, Sheldon was anxious. He knew that the conventional style of play could no longer make the Chinese team turn defeat into victory. He could only bet on three points..."
"But, his feel is not very good."
The Magician shook his head: "No, LeBron defends so well. When LeBron turns on the full-strength mode and turns the mode button completely to the defensive end, he is the best defensive player on the planet, the same as Sheldon."
Lebang's defense has been recognized the greatest recognition. Li Ke on the court actually felt this way. Lebang's defense made him feel so uncomfortable.
But he was helpless, he could only continue to play singles and continue to attack.
Because of this game, the defensive strategy adopted by the Dream Team is to insist on defending one by one, and without assisting defense, so that other members of the men's basketball team will not be vacant.
Without open space, other players of the men's basketball team lose their ability to attack independently.
When facing a strong enemy, the Great Sage, Alian, Wang Qi and Zhu Ba are brave enough to fight, but the attributes of daring to fight are not worth mentioning in the face of strong strength.
Instead of letting your teammates hit the wall, it is better to put all your hopes on yourself.
This is what Li Ke thought at this moment.
In the Dream Team's round, Li Ke faced Kobe, and Lebang on the other side used an unstoppable breakthrough to push away all the defenders in front of him. He made a layup in the near-frame area and the score widened again.
Immediately afterwards, the men's basketball team's offense.
It was Li Ke who asked for a cover on the outside, and with the cover, he staggered the position and shot another three-pointer.
This time, the five pine trees sounded—
Swish—!
With the crisp sound of rubbing the net, the basketball finally passed by!
The cheers of Wukesong also erupted completely at that moment.
Although behind, Wukesong fans are still cheering for the men's basketball team and still contribute their enthusiasm.
Because they knew that it was not surprising that they lost this game.
"No matter what the result of this game is, the men's basketball team has tried their best. They have made history. Now, the dream team that formed the Superstar United team is just 12 points ahead of them..."
When Director Zhang sighed, on the field, the Dream Team had already extended the lead to 14 points with another wave of unstoppable attack.
Li Ke's three-pointer seems to have no effect.
Unless, he can now hit three-pointers in a row.
However, the men's basketball team's offense and Lebang's close-fitting defense prevented Li Ke from making a three-pointer.
"The defense is too strong, Li Ke has tried his best."
"This is the current situation of this game. Apart from Li Ke and Dayao, there is no third player in the men's basketball team who can stand up and score."
"In contrast, each of them can tear open the defense line of the men's basketball team."
“…”
At the end of the third quarter, thanks to Li Ke's struggle, the men's basketball team barely failed to let the situation collapse.
The score of 75 to 59 represents the entire third quarter, and the men's basketball team lost only 3 points.
Then the fourth quarter was the one, and the Dream Team was sure to win and they controlled the game.
Li Ke's crazy moves only made the game scene look a little anxious.
If the Dream Team score is subtracted by more than ten points, the anxiety will be even stronger.
But the backwardness always exists. Another ten-minute period of the game, Wukesong still cheered continuously, but amid the cheers, the men's basketball team finally lost the final.
"It's over, congratulations to Team USA, they are the gold medalists in the 2008 Olympics."
First of all, congratulations to the winner, this is the convention.
But the protagonist of CCTV's broadcast has always been the men's basketball team.
"Although the men's basketball team lost this game, their performance is still worthy of praise."
"Now, they are the silver medal winners of the Olympic men's basketball team, and this is the best record in the history of men's basketball team!"
On the other hand, TNT, the commentary trio only felt that this victory was a bit boring.
The victory of the Dream Team was too overwhelming. Although the men's basketball team worked hard, their efforts failed to make this game exciting.
"The Chinese team's strength is still too much worse than the Dream Team. Of course, Sheldon and Yao have tried their best. They need more and better teammates..."
The camera returns to the court and the Dream Team is celebrating the victory.
On the other hand, the men's basketball players also high-fives.
It feels bad to lose the game, but fortunately, this is a game where no one thinks the men's basketball team can win.
"We lost this game, but we have tried our best, so we don't need to underestimate ourselves. The game is over. Now, all we need to do is to smile. First, thank the fans of Wukesong, and then stand on the podium and kiss your medals!"
Dayao, who has always been the official spokesperson of the men's basketball team, was silent at this moment. He stood on one side of the basketball court with his waist on his hips, watching his opponents cheer and celebrate.
So Li Ke stood up and clapped his hands.
These words also made Yao Yao react: "That's right, we should thank the fans who came to the court for their support!"
In this way, while the Dream Team was still celebrating, the 12 men's basketball team were already standing in a row, bowing to the four sides of the court, thanking them.
Cheers burst out again, screams rang out, and shouts came one after another.
"come on!"
"You are not losers in this game!"
"Men's basketball team, get up!"
Listening to the strings of shouting, Li Ke clenched his fists and waved it.
What he thought in his mind was: Let's come back in four years!
With his fists waving, Li Ke couldn't help but shout: "Four years later, we will launch a real impact on the Olympic gold medal!"
But, do men's basketball team really have the strength to compete for that gold medal?
Li Ke turned his head and looked at Yao, who was also waving his fists and shouting "That's right, let's come back in four years!"
Thinking that four years later, he is probably the only one left in the men's basketball team.
"We have to try it in four years, no matter what!"
The celebration of the Dream Team did not last long. Soon, staff from the Olympic Organizing Committee appeared and presented gold medals to the US team, silver medals to the Chinese team, and bronze medals to the Argentina team.
Holding the silver medal, the "losers" of the men's basketball team still smiled. No matter what, this is the best record in the men's basketball team.
