298 Dragon Flying
2B Dragon Flying
With 2 seconds left, Kobe, who was holding the ball in hand, waved his hand, and Bozer and Bosh in the inside left the penalty area at the same time. Chamberlain could not stay for a long time, otherwise it would have been defensive for three seconds. He was as used to the top of the penalty area.
Everyone has their own favorite position. The NHA has a special term to call this, which is the "lucky position." For example, Duncan likes the middle distance from the right wing forty-five corners, McGrady likes the top arc of the three-point line slightly left or right, and Iverson likes two feet. In these places, they are particularly skillful in launching attacks.
Chamberlain likes to stay in the top of the penalty area when defending. He believes that this is his central army tent, where he has absolute command rights: if people on the outside want to enter the penalty area, it must be approved by his consent. Inside players in the penalty area, he can also complete the defense at any time. This is a fortress that connects the inside and outside lines. As long as he stands here, his opponents will not easily score.
Kobe glanced at Zhu Fangyu who was defending him, and a free and easy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. When time jumped to only five seconds left, he made a sudden mistake. His slender body leaned slightly to the left, and at the same time, his right foot exerted force. When his shoulder twisted his right hand holding the ball, the ball instantly reached the left, and he started to change direction and break through with a big step.
Zhu Fangyu held Kobe with one hand and spread his hand and tried to move sideways to the right to block the opponent. The two of them took two steps in a row, and Zhu Fangyu's defense was fine. But after two steps, Kobe's tilted body suddenly pressed against Zhu Fangyu's chest, and then his hand stuck on his waist and suddenly exerted force. His left foot rolled on the floor. His body swung half of his body like lightning, took a big step, and broke through Zhu Fangyu.
After breaking through Zhu Fangyu, Kobe broke forward from the middle. Chamberlain gathered the strength of his body in the end, bent down and opened his arms and retreated, and retreated to the penalty area. He was not worried that Kobe would stop and jump shot. He understood his plan from Kobe's eyes. Kobe wanted to fight him one-on-one and deduct him.
No matter when the whole audience was playing, Chamberlain defended his dignity. The Dream Team was very good, but no one could hold him head-on. Neither the fierce James nor the tough Wade nor the elegant Kobe did this.
Now the game is about to end. Kobe wants to put a perfect end to this game. His choice is to deduct Chamberlain from the front.
Sure enough, Chamberlain retreated all the way to the penalty area, and Kobe then took the ball and entered the penalty area.
His feet were on the top arc of the penalty area, and his calf muscles were tightly tense, just like steel plates embedded in the black skin, hard, wild, and full of power.
As soon as he stepped down, Kobe's other foot followed him like lightning, exactly the same. His muscles were bulging high, and his whole body looked like a combat machine.
With a big step into the penalty area, Kobe sank his waist and bent his knees. Then he took a deep breath, and two cold lights suddenly came out of his eyes. He opened his mouth and let out a clear angrily shout. He put the ball on his lower abdomen with his right hand. His slender and powerful body was like a launching missile. He then flew up on the floor and flew directly into the basket.
"Don't imagine" a roar was like a bolt from the blue. Chamberlain gritted his teeth and spitted out these two words from his teeth. His expression was ferocious and he jumped up. His already exhausted and weak body was still as firm as a wall of iron, defending the Chinese men's basketball penalty area. He could not break through.
This is the no-fly zone, this is my restricted zone, this is my territory, here, if it is a dragon, you have to carry it, and if it is a tiger, you have to hold it.
The Koruo missile flew up tiltly, while Chamberlain went straight up and down, like a straight steel gun, standing proudly in the air of the restricted area.
In an instant, Kobe flew to the top. He pulled his feet away from each other, holding the ball in his right hand like a blacksmith swinging an iron hammer. Facing Chamberlain's defense, he raised his eyebrows and penetrated his whole body, and he unswervingly smashed the ball towards the ring.
Chamberlain was hit by Kobe, and he had long lost his strength. He never took this kind of impact seriously before, but this time he had no choice but to find that he could not stop such an attack. Under Kobe's impact, his weak body could not continue to maintain balance and was about to be knocked over.
This is absolutely impossible for Chamberlain to roar in his heart. He raised his arm with all his strength and tried his best to press the ball in Kobe's hand.
Kobe was shocked. He didn't expect that he almost knocked over Chamberlain. His hand was still able to hold it firmly and almost block him. He was flying in the air now at a critical moment. The new force had not yet grown, and the old force was exhausted and he had already jumped to the highest point. If he wanted to continue to complete the dunk, he would probably have to take a big hat if he pressed his arm.
There was no way Kobe could only change the expected dunk to a throw, pick his wrist, accurately control the ball to fly high, and then cross a perfect arc and fall into the ring:
"Swish" sound was crisp and beautiful. Chamberlain fell heavily to the ground. Facing Kobe's throw, he had no choice but to do anything about it.
After the crisp sound of the basketball entering the net, a sharp and harsh beep sounded, and the rebound suddenly turned into bright red color. The game was over
When Chamberlain heard the whistle at the end of the game, he couldn't continue to stand firm. After landing, he stumbled and fell to the ground: tired, too tired
Kobe also staggered to the ground, but he did not fall, but went up and stretched out his hand to Chamberlain and smiled, "Rookie, do you know, if I could deduct one of you just now, I could earn 1.2 million US dollars? Then I can share you with 600,000."
Chamberlain didn't want to move, Kobe pulled him and actually dragged him forward, but didn't pull him up, which made Kobe laugh and cry: he was still a tough guy during the game, but now he has become a rogue child
On the scoreboard, it was scarlet 1043. The Chinese men's basketball team lost 14 in the end.
But the fans on the scene were obviously very satisfied. It was a dream to defeat the Dream Team. Now, they are so close to the dream. Moreover, today's game has made them satisfied. Their team played very hard, dared to fight, and even if they lost, they are still honored.
The game ended but the fans did not leave. They stood up and gave warm applause to both sides of the game. Whether it was the American men's basketball team or the Chinese men's basketball team, they tried their best in this game. It was something that Chinese fans dared not imagine before.
"Chamberlain, hero Chamberlain, hero Chamberlain, hero"
"Come Dragon Team, Come on Dragon Team, Come on Dragon Team, Come on Dragon Team, Come on"
The neat cheers resounded throughout the sky. Chamberlain could not continue to lie down, so he stood up and waved to the fans. Kobe hugged Chamberlain, with a bright smile on his handsome face: except for not being able to dunk on Chamberlain's head in the end, everything else was perfect.
"What did you mean just now, one million and two million?" Chamberlain asked Kobe loudly, he had always been sensitive to money.
Kobe smiled and told Chamberlain the bet he had made. The latter took a breath and then shouted in annoyance: "Why don't you tell me in advance? I honestly asked you to deduct one, how good you can give me the money?"
As the players began to prepare to leave the court, they all came up to hug the Chinese players. Today's opponents deserve their respect and they have worked very hard.
They just hugged Chamberlain and Yao Ming. They were more familiar with each other and joked, and then left after joking for a while.
Bush Jr. stood at the entrance of the player's channel and briskly played with every Dream Team player. Kobe and James stayed on the scene to accept the sideline interview of the reporter after the game. CCTV sent Yu Jia to interview Kobe. He asked: "Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game today. Kobe, can you evaluate your opponent?"
Kobe and Yu Jia met him, who had interviewed him many times. He shrugged and smiled, "You're wrong, man, this is not a game, but a battle, a fierce battle. My opponent is very beautiful, and everyone knows that we have done our best to defend, attack, and cooperate with each other. They are not bad, especially since he has done everything a player can do. He is a well-deserved hero today. I envy him because he is very young and he is very outstanding."
Chamberlain did not stay on the court to warm up. He was too tired. Nelson Jr. directly protected him and entered the player passage first. The fans did not leave and gave him off with applause. Chamberlain turned around and waved to the fans, and his tired face was still full of bright smiles.
Yao Ming stayed on the court for an interview, and he listened to the reporter's question: "As the person who got the most points today, Yao, do you have anything to say?"
Yao Ming scored 40 points today, which is the record of Chinese men's basketball athletes in the history of the Olympics and also the score record after professional players were allowed to participate in men's basketball events in the 2019 Barcelona Olympics. It was previously maintained by Marbury's -l points. He set this record at the Greek Olympics, and the overall Olympic record was 55 points set by the main Spanish men's basketball player Oscar Summit at the 196 Seoul Olympics.
Yao obviously was very excited to get this score. He thought for a while and said, "I'm very proud, but we know that this is not my own achievements. I got 40 points, and more because of the help of my teammates, especially Chamberlain. He helped me completely on the defensive end. I must thank him, otherwise I wouldn't have much strength to score."
The reporter then asked, "Since you mentioned your teammates, then Yao, do you want to say something to your team?"
Yao Ming smiled and said, "This is not my team, but our team lost this game, but I think we played very well. I am proud of my teammates, and we don't regret it." He thought for a while and continued, "Before this game, all of us formed a circle, everyone put their hands together, and then encouraged each other. We must use our shoulders to carry the team forward. At that time, maybe just said it, but fortunately, we did it."
"We feel sorry for losing to the Dream Team, but there are still many games in the future. What do you think about this?" the reporter asked again.
Yao Ming smiled and said, "You may not know that before the game, our head coach, Mr. Nelson, divided our game into two types, one is a 'winning battle, and the other is a winning battle. Except for the Dream Team, I think the rest are the latter. We want to win every game, but there is no doubt that we have to play one game after another, and we can't think too much, because all the teams in the Olympics are strong teams. This is what we need to do to make ourselves stronger, and we have this confidence."
The ability to play against the Dream Team made Yao Ming more optimistic about the future than ever before. He felt that the opponent behind him was nothing scary.
