I’m Really Playing Basketball

August 31, 2002, this day, for Pierce, is destined to become one of the most special days in his life.

Just like on September 25, 2000, on that day, physically, he suffered the 'torture' of being hacked 11 times.

But today, mentally, he also encountered an untold amount of 'torture'.

If Pierce hadn't always been strong, what happened to him tonight, even if he was replaced by the NBA's number one 'iron-blooded tough guy', 'the leader of the Wolf King', Kevin Garnett, it would be crazy.

Before the wolf king met a certain magical boy face to face, he was almost 'crazy'.

On the field, after Chen Xiao yelled at the top of his voice, "If you see Pierce, you will be tricked", the Chinese players who were hesitant and confused on the offensive end seemed to suddenly see the light.

Human beings are not afraid of setting too high goals, but afraid of not having goals.

Now, they who are confused have a goal!

Gong Xiaobin pulled out to catch the ball, and after using Yao Ming's cover to fend off Jermaine O'Neal's pursuit, he and Zhu Fangyu picked and rolled to put Pierce in front of him.

After being fouled by Zhu Fangyu for two consecutive fouls, Pierce is now a little nervous.

Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.

Especially Chen Xiao's voice on the sidelines just now put a lot of pressure on him.

There were two fouls before the second quarter of the game was over.

It stands to reason that the US team should replace Pierce.

But George Karl dare not!

Pierce is the most dependent player in this US team's offense.

Can't collapse!

Now the team is 20 points behind, and Pierce needs to stay on the court to chase points!

"That's why Fantastic Boy has a vicious voice!"

George Karl secretly hated in fear.

Pierce didn't have a big defense in the first place, Jermaine and Marion were hard to deal with, and Baron Davis was 50-50.

But Baron Davis doesn't have a foul problem, Pierce does.

It can be said that Pierce is now the biggest loophole in the US team's defense!

On the defensive end, Pierce no longer dares to make moves so much!

The players of the Chinese team and the "old actors" like Gong Xiaobin are afraid of being aggressive.

It's great that you're not aggressive.

Seeing that Pierce was a bit hesitant and nervous, but did not dare to go up, Xiaoyao Wang smiled slightly, and used the change of pace to change his release point and shooting direction on the basis of shooting on the spot, avoiding Pierce's last "struggle" ', cap!

Pierce's current defense dares to finally block it desperately.

Without fierce physical confrontation, the Happy King who can move smoothly, let Pierce know how weak his "last fight" is.

This trick of shooting is almost being played by Xiaoyao Wang!

"This is Xiaoyao Wang's iconic stepping shot!"

The basketball was thrown by Gong Xiaobin, passed Pierce's slightly shorter fingers, and flew gracefully to the basket.

Swipe!

The basketball crossed a wonderful arc and fell into the net in a hollow!

Hearing the wonderful sound of the basketball brushing the net from behind, Pierce, who had been seriously injured by Chen Xiaozheng, felt that his spirit had been severely stabbed.

On the court, Pierce was once again in a circle.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Chinese team, Faye Wong, was already dancing like crazy, and she was about to hug anyone she saw!

"It's unbelievable, the old tree is blooming. This is Gong Xiaobin's first shot in this game, and he hit the first shot. This shot is so chic!"

Now Faye Wong hugged everyone as if she was crazy, but what he wanted to hug most was Chen Xiao who was high-fiving Gong Xiaobin on the sidelines at this moment.

"Just now, Xiao Chen's decisiveness was terrifying. After Xiao Zhu committed two fouls on Pierce, he immediately made the most accurate judgment, and hit the nail on the head. He is more direct and bolder than the head coach!"

To be honest, he was actually surrounded and afraid of being suppressed by the US team just now.

Even if Xiao Zhu really caused Pierce's two fouls, according to his condition at the time, he probably wouldn't dare to catch him.

That's Pierce, even if Pierce fouled twice, do you really dare to hit him like you beat Korean players and Japanese players?

I dare not, I dare not!

He dare not, but someone dares!

"Xiao Chen dares to shout, Gong Xiaobin dares to do it!"

This is great!

If the Chinese team can really win this game, Xiao Chen will be the number one hero!

Originally, the second quarter was the most dangerous time for the Chinese team, but now after being yelled at by Chen Xiao, the crisis was easily resolved like this!

Now it is no longer the Chinese team that is uncomfortable, but the US team!

Do you want Pierce to stay on the court?

George Karl is already pacing constantly on the sidelines.

Various options are being evaluated.

On the court, as the oldest player on the court, Gong Xiaobin has fulfilled his responsibilities as a leader of the national team very well.

With a bang, Chen Xiao and Gong Xiaobin's high fives were extraordinarily loud.

"Brother Gong, well done!"

Chen Xiao was very excited, and so was Gong Xiaobin.

This is the greatest and most important score of my career!

It's great to be able to help the national team at this time!

"Mr. Chen!"

Um?

"Thanks."

After Gong Xiaobin passed by the sideline and thanked Chen Xiao, he backed up with a smile on his face.

Me, it's great that we can meet you at this time.

The game continues, the US team is attacking, and the players of the US team are still strong.

Although facing Big Ben's three-point line, Yao Ming was unmoved.

Faced with Xiao Ao's three-point line, Gong Xiaobin was unmoved.

The entire Chinese team's defense line is surrounded by Yao Ming as the center, forming a circle-like defense, just like a hedgehog.

But Baron Davis still used his superhuman physical talent and strength to squeeze in under the restraint of his teammates this time, and completed a dunk on Gong Xiaobin.

Gong Xiaobin's defense has been very hard, but he is still old, slow, and his jump is not so high.

Heroes always have their twilight.

What a hero needs is not sympathy, but to exchange one's own "death" for an earth-shattering, earth-shattering!

50 to 30!

The score gap is still huge.

But this time Baron Davis broke through the entire Chinese defense line and made the American Basketball Association officials on the sidelines calm down a little.

At least, the strength of the US team's players is still stronger.

At least, there is still a lot of time left, and the US team still has a chance!

On the court, it was the turn of the Chinese team to attack.

After Gong Xiaobin resolutely implemented Chen Xiao's strategy, stood up as the leader of the team's oldest boss, and succeeded when he saw Pierce. The confidence that Davis had lost was completely restored.

This time, it wasn't the Happy King who called his teammates to cover Pierce.

Gong Xiaobin thought about it, but everything was pointed at him, his physical strength and body really didn't allow it.

His 'stepping shot' just now was all he could come up with.

This time, it was the teenager Liu Wei who was embarrassed by Baron Davis on the defensive end.

Facing Baron Davis, I am obedient!

But hit you God outcast Pierce, I'm gonna punch you hard!

Seeing Pierce in front of him, Liu Wei was very excited.

Which young man doesn't want to become famous?

Who doesn't want to be like Zhu Fangyu just now, leaving his shadow in this epoch-making game for Chinese basketball?

No further entry!

No further entry!

Absolutely no further entry!

Pierce's singles against Liu Wei was like an eagle catching a chicken.

But the eagle is an eagle with a broken claw.

The chick is a chicken that has been bloodied.

So, don't look at Pierce's aggressiveness this time, but he doesn't dare to make moves. His defense looks fierce, but the effect is very soft.

It's okay to scare ordinary chickens, but it's a bit difficult to scare chickens that have been bloodied.

So, on the court, Pierce was scored again!

When Liu Wei was covered by Pierce and couldn't break through, he stepped back to the three-point line and made a shot!

For Liu Wei, this ball is a bit like a fairy ball.

But there were so many fairy balls in front of Pierce in this game that many American team players and spectators on the sidelines were no longer surprised by it.

53 to 30!

For the US team, Liu Wei's three-pointer was a bit murderous.

George Karl, who was hesitating, finally didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately replaced Pierce with Finley.

As for the Chinese team, Faye Wong was also making transfers, using Battelle to replace Yao Ming, who had played for 14 consecutive minutes, from the court.

The US team replaced Pierce and replaced Finley, the effect is very obvious.

In the next round, Finley fired from outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer for the US team.

53 to 33!

The score of the two sides was chased to 20 points again.

The two teams seem to be seeing each other again.

However, the score was chased to 20 points, and many American reporters and experts on the sidelines did not have any joy on their faces.

As professionals, they certainly know that the end of Pierce, the top offensive player of the US team, has dealt a huge blow to the offensive potential of the US team.

If possible, the US team would like to put 5 players with super offensive ability on the court when they are 20 points behind.

"Will George Karl replace Reggie Miller?"

Putting on Reggie Miller may still have a chance.

But without Reggie Miller and without Pierce, under the current circumstances, the US team definitely has no chance.

In fact, when Liu Wei made a three-pointer, Reggie Miller, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also looking forward to George Karl's decision.

Seeing George Karl choose Finley again, Reggie Miller's eyes flashed self-mockery and sarcasm.

The score is so far behind, the US team needs to bring an offensive frenzy.

But to the desperation of the US team, the entire US team does not have any super scorer who can lead to an offensive frenzy.

Baron Davis, Andre Miller, O'Neal, A Davis, Marion, Ben Wallace, Captain Brand...

Except for Reggie Miller, Jay Williams, LaFrentz, Nick Collison, the four untrusted players, and Pierce, who was beaten and unsuitable to continue playing, now the US team can count on these 7 players .

It's true that these seven players are all NBA stars, but in the remaining six minutes of the second quarter, trying to bring the point difference back to 10 points, why is it so unbelievable?

In particular, they don't have six minutes!

Because Chen Xiao, Hu Weidong, and Guo Shiqiang have already started warming up on the sidelines!

If the score cannot be chased close enough before most of the Chinese team starts to play, then the US team will have no chance in this game.

In the stands, many fans of the American team were already praying with their hands clasped.

Hope God can perform a miracle in this game.

In front of the TV, Wang Zhizhi's already nervous heart was about to jump out.

Although he didn't participate in this game, this was the victory over the dream team!

The first team in basketball history to beat the Dream Team!

"Bus, hold on!"

"Two more minutes and we'll win!"

At this time, Wang Zhizhi did not notice that his "closest friend" in the United States, who tricked him into tearing up the agreement with the national team and the Bayi Basketball Association's Chinese reporter Chen Weiming, was already pale at this time.

He looks Chinese, but he has an American heart.

The game between the U.S. team and the Chinese team has not yet finished halftime, but the balance of the game has completely tilted to the side of the Chinese team, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, from the Dream Team 1 in 1992 to the Dream Team 5 in 2002, American fans, USA Basketball officials, American reporters, and American experts who have gone through ten years of undefeated teams are looking at the situation on the court at this time. The game will be so shocking.

"No one thought that the first defeat of the American Dream Team would come quietly like this..."

Moreover, the target is the Chinese team!

"Who would have thought that the dream team would be defeated by the Chinese team one day?"

In front of the TV, as the leaders of the Dream Team, Magician and Big Bird opened their mouths in surprise.

As the leader of the second dream team, O'Neal, who had just won the FMVP again and established a dynasty in Los Angeles, at this time, his big troublesome eyes were flickering frantically.

In extreme shock, O'Neill seemed to have discovered a super hot spot to rub against.

And as the leader of Dream Team Three, Olajuwon was equally shocked.

However, his gaze was always on the Chinese giant who returned to the court again.

It's really a good seedling!

And as the leaders of the Dream Team Four, Kidd and Garnett, who almost sent the Dream Team to their first defeat in the 2000 Olympics, were all looking at the Chinese team who returned to the court earlier than Yao Ming. No. 11, Chen Xiao.

Garnett appreciated it, while Kidd fell into thinking.

He, it seems, is okay.

At this time, as the spokesperson of the American Dream Team, Jordan.

At this moment, Jordan felt his heart ached.

My heart hurts so much that the wine in my hand is sour, and the taste of the cigar is not so 'fragrant' anymore.

He certainly wasn't heartbroken for the American Dream Team.

"He originally belonged to me!"

Listening to the exclamation of 'Wonder Boy' constantly coming from the TV, Jordan felt extremely melancholy.

As his defender changed from Pierce to Marion, the difficulty of Chen Xiao's offense increased sharply!

But, it doesn't matter, put cold arrows beside Yao Ming and Daba, and be a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin.

By the way, it's good to have Marion, the strongest defensive player on the perimeter of the US team, by his side.

In this game, the players of the Chinese team are in hot form. Yao Ming and Ba Ge lead the inside line, and Chen Xiao holds the outside line. The Chinese team will play very comfortably!

Although Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Battelle, Hu Weidong, and Guo Shiqiang all entered the field, the Chinese team was still at a slight disadvantage against the US team of Big Ben, Jermaine O'Neill, Marion, Finley, and Baron Davis. .

But the advantage in the first quarter and the first half was too great.

Even in the second half of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming, Ba Ge and Chen Xiao all had physical crises, and the US team failed to catch up in the end.

The U.S. team, which has no outside offense, has a hard time chasing points.

With one minute left in the game, the US team has chased the score to 80-88.

Facing the difficult scoring problem of the US team at this time, George Karl finally thought of Reggie Miller, who was left cold for 39 minutes by him.

But the minute Reggie Miller came on the court, the legendary NBA shooter, did nothing.

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0 turnovers, and 0 shots.

Reggie Miller, on the court, sarcastically witnessed the desperation of George Karl and the US team on the sidelines!

88 to 82!

The 2002 World Championships, the biggest storm in the history of world basketball, hit!

"They worked miracles!"

"This is the miracle of Chinese basketball!"

"This is also a miracle in world basketball!"

And the people who started this epic hurricane were those sweaty and exhausted Chinese basketball players standing on the court with their hands on their hips laughing!

This is a famous painting destined to be recorded in the annals of world basketball.

This is a famous painting that shocked the world, the United States, and China even more crazy!

that is……

This style of painting seems to be a bit secondary...

"Attention world, hurricanes are coming!"

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The demonic laughter accompanied the storm they created, sweeping the whole world together!

ps: In history, Brother Wei missed that three-pointer. This shot is a compliment for Brother Wei who worked hard, haha.

ps2: After writing the 5,000-word chapter, the Chinese team defeated the US team, perfect!

ps3: Ask for collection, ask for monthly pass, ask for recommendation! ! !
