On the morning of the game day, Lin Yu got up early and ran to the hotel basketball court to practice shooting for a while.
He saw Chen Jianghua again. This 17-year-old boy seemed to have suddenly become the hardest working person in the national team. Although hard work may not necessarily yield the results he wanted, Lin Yu believed that hard work would eventually allow him to make progress.
.
Lin Yu thought of himself. At first, after getting the system, he tried to improve his attributes through hard work.
The result was a failure. He thought he could only rely on the system to improve himself.
Time gave him a completely different answer.
You can improve yourself by working hard, but it requires more effort and time. Some people give up midway, and they will never be able to touch success. But some people persist, and maybe they are still some distance away from real success.
, but at least, he will be better than the former.
"Director Guo, what do you want to say about the afternoon game?"
After practicing shooting, Lin Yu felt that he felt good today and that he could perform well in the afternoon game and strive to make big news.
While eating, he couldn't help but ask.
Director Guo waved his hand: "Don't ask me, ask Lao You."
When playing against the United States, the men's basketball team must come up with something different. Yunus had already thought about it. After dinner, he directly summoned all the players.
"We have to make some tactical adjustments for the afternoon game."
Then, Yunus drew his tactics on the tactical board: "Yao, in the afternoon game, you will be a support point. On the offensive end, your active position will be concentrated in the high position. You have to get the ball at this position."
, and then continue to support the attack."
Yao Ming nodded, he knew that the role Lao You gave him was a role played by many European centers, a high-level organization and support center.
Yunus then looked at Lin Yu: "Lin, your singles may be frustrated in this game, so you have to switch to the off-ball side. Yao's high position support and cover are prepared for you..."
The battle is about to begin, and the atmosphere in the men's basketball team is still very good. Some people may feel nervous, but no one will give up directly because the afternoon game is a game with no hope of winning.
At least, from the outside, the fighting spirit of the men's basketball players is still there.
At the Sapporo Basketball Arena, more than 7,000 seats were filled once again, and domestic fans once again turned this arena into the home court of the Chinese team.
During the warm-up, Lin Yu hugged LeBron James again. The guy seemed very excited about becoming teammates with Lin Yu in the new season.
He mentioned again: "Lin, this game may be the last game we play as opponents before the start of the new season."
Lin Yu shook his head: "LeBron, unless you don't participate in the Yanjing Olympics in two years, otherwise, we will still be rivals in two years."
"I only focus on this game, Lin. I want to make 'join if you can't beat' a reality."
"..."
Lin Yu's face turned dark. He added this meme when he couldn't beat him. It has spread all over the United States, and even James made a joke.
After a brief exchange, the game was about to begin.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Chinese team had some changes from the previous games. Sun Yue was in the starting lineup and was the team's main point guard. This adjustment was to strengthen the defense.
Against the American team, confrontation and defense are the keys to determining the outcome of the game.
Shooting guard Lin Yu, small forward Zhu Fangyu, power forward Yi Jianlian, center Dayao, the other four positions remain unchanged.
On the U.S. team, point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Anthony, and center Dwight Howard.
"LeBron, Cameron and Dwyane are led by three superstars, and are supported by two young players with significant upward momentum in Chriss and Dwight. This is the starting lineup of this American team. Even if it is not that luxurious, it is It has already surpassed most countries on paper."
The game was broadcast live on ESPN, hosted by Stephen A. Smith, and commented by Mike Breen and Marv Albert.
"In this game against the Chinese team, what we need to face is the inside and outside combination of Yao and China Lin. I hope the boys can perform well and win a victory without pressure."
Stephen A. Smith shouted: "We want to win consecutively, we want to keep winning, and we want to clear away the haze of the Greek Olympic Games!"
Just as Stephen A. Smith was shouting, Yao faced Howard on the court, and the jump ball session began.
"Yao and Dwight's jump ball, Dwight jumped too early! The basketball was taken by the Chinese team..."
Sometimes bouncing too hard is not a good thing, so Howard jumped a little harder and jumped over. Dayao didn't even jump much, he reached out and grabbed the basketball.
Before halftime, Sun Yue passed the ball to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took control of the game after halftime, and Wade immediately followed him, muttering: "Lin, we meet again, don't even think about scoring from me in this game."
When he reached the frontcourt, Lin Yu did not continue to control the ball and directly threw the ball to Yao Ming in the high position.
Then he moved without the ball and threw a sentence to Wade: "Dwayne, please stop making such meaningless harsh words. Do you think you can guard me all the time?"
Wade shrugged and spread his hands. Lin Yu smiled, then ran away and went around again, but Wade kept following him closely.
"After facing the US team, Dayu lost his confrontation advantage. Under Wade's defense, he could only rely on getting rid of the defense without the ball..."
Dayao was holding the ball in the high post. He looked for an opportunity to pass the ball for a while, but couldn't find it. He suddenly turned around and took two steps inward.
Forced to guard against Yao Ming, Anthony stood in front of Yao, but Yao missed two points.
Whoosh!
The basketball got into the basket accurately!
Lin Yu ran over and high-fived Dayao. At the beginning, he didn't get a chance, but Dayao had many opportunities.
Yunus's tactical arrangement achieved its goal. Yao Ming in the high position is not so easy to defend, especially today's Yao Ming is still a Yao Ming who made a long-range shot at the beginning.
In the American team's offensive round, they played simply and roughly. James crushed Zhu Fangyu to the basket and successfully scored two points with a floater.
James, who scored, celebrated a little, took a crab step, and pointed his finger at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled. He knew that James was interacting with him, a kind interaction.
The Chinese team served from the backcourt, Lin Yu received the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt.
In that time and space in the past life, the Chinese team's guards faced the top NBA-level guards and had a hard time even dribbling the ball through half court. However, the emergence of Lin Yu has completely solved this problem.
He easily bypassed Wade's interference, then controlled the frontcourt and handed the ball to Yao Ming again.
It was Dayao's organization and support from the high post. Lin Yu circled to the right without the ball, and immediately stopped after gaining a little space.
When he stopped running, he shouted: "Give me the ball!"
The words were in Chinese, and Wade, who was guarding Lin Yu, looked confused. Then, he saw Dayao's pass and Lin Yu's catch.
Wade jumped directly in front of Lin Yu, but Lin Yu still took action without hesitation.
Whoosh!
The basketball hits the net!
The Sapporo Basketball Stadium instantly erupted into cheers like a roaring tsunami.
"pretty!"
In the commentary box of Central Five, Yu Jia shouted directly: "Make a three-pointer against the defense! Dayao and Dayu both performed very strongly at the beginning, and the Chinese team immediately showed momentum!"
The momentum has indeed been unleashed, with the Chinese team taking the lead at 5:2 in the opening match.
But then, the American team increased its defensive intensity. Under the rules of fiba, the Americans' physical advantage was fully utilized.
Howard stayed in the penalty area, while on the outside, Lin Yu began to be double-teamed by the zone defense. However, Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue's shots were directly deformed under the high-intensity confrontation.
After the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind by 9 points, and the game suddenly became one-sided.
"In the first quarter, Dayao scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Dayu scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. They all tried their best."
"The American team is still too strong. I just hope that the score will not continue to widen in the next games."
