The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

There were 6 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game, and neither side replaced their main lineups, and the game continued.

But in fact, both the American team members and the Dragon National team members knew very well that the American team had lost.

What made them unable to struggle was not the 18-point difference and the approaching end time, but the crushing strength of the Super East in the final quarter.

Kobe's spirit had dissipated at this time, and he would never be able to get back into his previous false fourth-level state. In the next round of offense, he once again chose to beat Lin Dong, but he got a solid hot pot.

The Dragon Country team counterattacked, but the US team, which had entered a state of "desperate defense", desperately returned to defend to prevent a fast break, but it was already a return to glory.

Zhu Fangyu hit a 3-pointer from the outside, and Yao Ming succeeded in a make-up dunk. 116:96, the point difference widened to 20 points.

The American team turned around and tried to hit the basket again. Garnett, the wolf king, made a mid-range shot, barely saving the team's decline.

But then looking back, Lin Dong used a fake move to shoot Kobe Bryant in the face. When the latter lost his center of gravity and fell backward, trying desperately to regain his center of gravity, he easily pulled in and scored 3 points. The score difference was 119:98. It has been expanded to 21 points again!

Fortunately, Wade launched a fast break and made a wonderful pass to Garnett. The Wolf King faced Yi Jianlian and scored a high throw, causing Yi Jianlian to foul. Unfortunately, the Wolf King was cold for too long, had poor touch, and missed the free throw. , 119:100, the point difference returned to 19 points again, Long Guo had the ball.

Everyone could see that at this time, Kobe no longer had the momentum to block Lin Dong when he broke out before, as if he was being played.

Old K mustered up his last courage and tried the strategy of using Wade and Kobe to attack Lin Dong again. However, since Kobe's rhythm was messed up, it in turn hindered Wade. Full of loopholes, Lin Dong rushed out of the double team of the two, attracting Garnett, the wolf king, to attack at all costs. The three-for-one with no blind spots is already the most desperate method for the US team, and Lin Dong did not force it. , but chose to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was already open and sinking to the bottom. The latter shot a 3-pointer without any obstruction.

With a solid foundation and the belief that he wanted to defeat the United States at this time, the basketball hit the net, 122:100.

There were 5 minutes and 29 seconds left on the clock, but the 22-point difference had completely extinguished any counterattack momentum of the American team.

When the battle reaches this point, it has actually evolved into a contest of fighting spirit and fighting spirit. When one party becomes discouraged, such an evenly matched contest ceases to exist.

The next two games were lackluster. Although the American team never gave up and desperately tried to catch up with the score, the offensive end always seemed to be stumbling under the united defense of Long Guo. However, the defensive end was under the sharp knife of Lin Dong. , without any resistance, even if he was double-teamed by three people, Lin Dong's timely distribution of the ball also created a lot of opportunities for the outside line. If the outside line hadn't missed two shots under the great excitement of the upcoming victory, he would have just missed the ball. The gap will further widen.

Although with more than 2 minutes left in the game, Duncan finally beat Yao Ming under the basket and scored a 2+1, allowing Yao Ming to leave the field for five fouls, but it didn't help anymore...

Although the scene at the end of the game was still fierce and the confrontation was still crazy, everyone understood that this was just the last struggle of the American team to maintain the dignity of the basketball empire.

There were only the last 14 seconds left on the electronic scoreboard, the score was 138:116, and the 22-point difference was maintained until the end.

Dragon Kingdom’s ball rights!

When Xu Yong threw the baseline ball and handed it to Lin Dong, CCTV's Directors Sun and Ma couldn't help but burst into tears in the live broadcast room.

These two, one of whom has been a commentator on CCTV Sports Channel since 1981, has witnessed the entire development process of Dragon Country basketball from dominating Asia to going global.

The other is the first player in the history of the Dragon Kingdom to enter the NCAA, and the first player in history to enter the NBA. Although he only played a few preseason games after joining the Clippers in 1995, he was also an NBA player. , was once the number one forward in Asia, and knows both Dragon Country basketball and the NBA very well.

I think back then, as a representative of Asians, I was despised in the NBA. Not to mention standing on the same court as these giants, even if I was their substitute, I was not qualified to compete with all Asians, but it was just Just 13 years later, Asians defeated those once-high-ranking superstars in the world's grandest international competition!

The joy of avenging shame and clearing the name of Asians made Director Ma burst into tears!

He roared in the live broadcast room: "Since FIBA ​​changed its rules in 1989 to allow professional players to participate in national basketball competitions, this dream team from the NBA has never lost in an important world-class competition. But today they are destined to fall at our feet! The ball came out. In the last 14 seconds, the ball was in Lin Dong's hands. We have defeated the invincible legendary American team. Facts have proved No matter what we do, we Asians are no worse than any other race. Even in this new era, we can still be on top of the world! Ahhhh!”

He was so excited that he was completely speechless, and could only vent everything in his heart with an excited roar.

"There is no doubt that this is destined to be one of the greatest moments in the history of Longguo sports!" Coach Sun's eyes were full of tears. In fact, his voice was choked up, so much so that even his usual stable voice was a little out of place, but it did not affect his emotional expression at all: "Longguo basketball's shortcomings are still very obvious, lineup depth, player physical strength, continuous intensity of confrontation, etc. But in the last and most difficult fourth quarter, Lin Dong carried the Longguo men's basketball team on his shoulders by himself, and also carried a miracle of a nation! He is worthy of the title of basketball god, he is worthy of the expectations of this nation, he is worthy of his own pursuit of dreams, he..."

Accompanied by the excited voice of the CCTV host, the entire Wukesong Sports Center was already a sea of ​​cheers.

Semi-finals?

So what about the semi-finals? The next game is either against Japan or Spain. The basketball of these two countries has made rapid progress because of Lin Dong, and Longguo, which has Lin Dong, is like a father beating his son when playing against them, with no other possibilities at all.

If we beat the United States, we are destined to be the champions!

All the spectators stood up and shouted the popular word to Lin Dong who was holding the ball.

——MVP! MVP! MVP!

"Brother Gao is invincible! Long live Brother Gao! Brother Gao, you did it, I know you can do it, I just know it!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi in the stands looked much more excited than Long Guoren, pulling the railing and shouting loudly to Lin Dong in the court.

Having known Lin Dong for so long, many of his ideas and thoughts have become the same as Lin Dong's.

He is probably the person in the world who knows best why Brother Gao left the NBA. After all, that was the last lesson that Brother Gao took him to Chinatown to teach him before leaving.

Frankly speaking, just watching this game, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt that Brother Gao had indeed reached another realm in the field of basketball, a realm of true invincibility.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.

Although Long Guoren was extremely excited, the fact is that Brother Gao played this game too easily.

With the strength he showed in the last quarter, he could have penetrated the US defense by himself from the first quarter to gain more leading advantages!

Even Sakuragi suspected that Gaoren had no physical problems at all. Even if his opponents were Kobe and Wade, he was still like playing against elementary school students!

This reminded Sakuragi of the feeling when Gaoren swept the Hidaka League, but at this moment, Gaoren was sweeping the strongest basketball empire in the world!

Gaoren seemed to be able to fight five...

But Gaoren didn't do that.

Instead, he chose to integrate into the team, hide himself more often, and give his teammates more opportunities, so that the team can show a stronger side in front of the world.

Just like what Gaoren said to him when he left Seattle.

——What I want is not just a gold medal, and my dream is not just the honor of the Olympics.

——I love this sport, and I hope that Longguo will become a real basketball power, not just my personal strength!

Gaoren did what he said.

Regardless of financial resources or energy, Brother Gao has been training everyone in the Dragon Country team in the past two years, studying every tactic suitable for the Dragon Country team, even if it is just to catch the American team off guard and disrupt the deployment and rhythm of the American team in this arena, or even just to study tactics for a few months, just to be able to unexpectedly succeed once in this game and get a 2 point.

Doing all this, perhaps Brother Gao is doing it so that when he retires, Dragon Country can still stand on the Olympic arena and win all the victories!

"Hehehe... This is Lin Dong!" Coach Anxi laughed and applauded.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was so excited that he jumped on the chair and shouted: "Brother Gao is invincible! Meet in the finals!"

Although the Spaniard next to him was also celebrating for Lin Dong and the Champions League players in the Dragon Country team on the field, he still couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him when he heard Sakuragi's half-baked Dragon Country language.

We haven't played yet, what's the point of you competing? If we have to compete, it's us Spain and Dragon Country. After all, Lin Huang has been our opponent in La Liga for two years.

And what about them, Japan? I heard that Lin Huang was too lazy to participate in the Asian Games and Asian Championships, so what does a competition have to do with you, Japan?

So the Spaniards also shouted in broken Chinese: "Compete with Dragon Country in the final! Spain will win!"

Unfortunately, the passionate shouts of the two teams were completely drowned out in this already crazy stadium. The whole stadium was filled with cheers for MVP and Lin Dong, making it impossible for people to notice their existence.

At this time, Lin Dong had already crossed the center line with the ball, and then stood still with the ball in one hand, which obviously meant that he had no intention of attacking again.

And Kobe Bryant, who was facing him, also straightened up breathlessly.

Looking at the man in front of him who was as still as a mountain after holding the ball, Kobe's eyes finally rose with an amazing relief.

Six years ago, he admired another person and was also chasing after that person's footsteps. Although he never caught up, the closer he got, the more excited he felt.

But in the next six years, he began to catch up with another person, but the pursuit became farther and farther away, and the pursuit became more and more desperate. Until the last moment, when he finally broke through his peak limit under the pressure of that person, When I stood at the top of the mountain, I found that the man was not at the top of the mountain at all... but above the clouds on the top of the mountain!

It was still so far out of reach, and even he had no way to continue pursuing it.

Kobe has never surrendered to anyone in his life, even his biggest idol Michael Jordan. Kobe feels that only defeating him is the greatest respect and tribute to him.

But now, facing the guy in front of him who had dominated him for six years since Hengkong was born, facing this man who was recognized by the world as the God of Basketball, he felt a sense of 'convinced' for the first time. .

This guy is invincible. As he said, there is only one basketball god in this world, and that is Lin Dong!

Standing in front of Lin Dong, Kobe took the lead in reaching out his hand, with a calm smile on his face.

"Congratulations." Kobe said: "The true god of basketball, you have always been beyond my reach."

Lin Dong smiled and shook hands with him, and Wade next to him also came over: "And me."

He was really convinced. Not to mention Lin Dong, he couldn't understand even Kobe's previous evolution, but he could feel it, because he was also on the edge of that realm.

But so what? Even such Kobe is still full of loopholes in front of Lin Dong.

This man is so strong...so strong that you feel like you can't catch up at all!

Wade laughed and shook hands with Lin Dong: "By the way... there is another guy. Before I came here, he said we couldn't win... That guy seems to know you better than us, he is Your biggest fan now, even though he no longer plays football, he watched every game you played in the Champions League without missing a beat. He asked me to tell you that you are the well-deserved chosen one."

Lin Dong was startled, and then thought of who Wade was talking about.

I haven't been in the NBA in the past two years, and my thoughts are all at home. I really don't have time to care about NBA gossip: "How is that guy doing recently?"

"I'm going to get married to Laura next month. In the words of you Dragon Country people, let's get married with your son." Wade shrugged: "He is taking good care of the Cavaliers now and plans to bring Bosh over next year. As long as you're not here for a few years, I'm going to kill the Lakers no matter what."

"You want to compete with me for the championship?" Kobe laughed. Although he was convinced by Lin Dong, in the current NBA... Kobe felt that no one could beat him.

"Nonsense, you can break through but I can't?" Wade laughed, holding Lin Dong's hand, but looking at Kobe's face: "If I can't beat Lin, I can't beat you? Next year's championship must be Knight's!"

"We have won two consecutive championships. Next year will be the first three consecutive championships for Yao and I. Just save it, but..." Kobe said with a smile, while pouting at Durant who was shaking hands with Zhu Fangyu on the other side. : "If Lin returns to the SuperSonics on a whim and cooperates with that guy and Sakuragi, let alone you Cavaliers, I think Yao and I will lose the three consecutive championships."

Wade opened his mouth and couldn't help but turned to look at Lin Dong: "You won't come back, will you? I haven't won the championship yet."

Lin Dong laughed and said, "Who knows."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

There were cheers at the scene, and the laughter of old friends was also full of relief and congratulations.
