The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 279
Turning heads, the Dream Team began their second offensive round.

This time it was Paul who assisted Kobe to make a mid-range shot.

It was Sun Yue who defended Kobe tonight, and he was already the best candidate for the Tianchao team to defend Kobe.

As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, you hit the seven inches. The seven inches of this dream team are their insiders.

Li Xun didn't hang out on the outside line at all, and went directly to the inside line, wreaking havoc on the restricted area of ​​the Dream Team with Yao Ming.

Chandler and the young Love, where would they be the opponents of Li Xun and Yao Ming, and the abused people were turned on their backs.

The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

Li Xun didn't even take much shots himself, he just helped Yao Ming get in position and let Yao Ming stand and dunk under the basket.

With Yao Ming's height, he can dunk a basketball by jumping a little as high as a matchbox.

And if Li Xun dunks, it must be more difficult than Yao Ming.

In order to win the gold, Li Xun definitely couldn't care about his personal statistics. He just wanted to win the game, and only wanted to win an Olympic gold medal.

If this can win an Olympic gold medal, it will be really glorious.

All Chinese players count as one, and if they are asked which one to choose between the Olympic gold medal and the NBA champion, they will definitely choose the Olympic gold medal with 100% certainty.

As for the old American players, some people may choose the gold medal, but more than half of the players who choose the NBA champion will definitely choose.

By the time of the first half of the game, the Tianchao team had a seven-point lead.

The reason why they took the lead was because Yao Ming and Li Xun's dominance at the basket was too amazing.

李勋已经半场抢下了17个篮板，另外篮下还要10分7助攻5盖帽2抢断，帮助姚明在篮下拿到了34分的恐怖得分。

With 34 points in the half, Yao Ming can be said to have played the most perfect game in the international competition.

No way, with Li Xun by his side, Yao Ming is really at a loss on the offensive end.

First of all, Li Xun can pass the ball to Yao Ming, and his passing success rate must be much higher than that of outside lobs.

And Li Xun is at the basket, neither Chandler nor Love can defend Yao Ming.

If there is an offensive rebound, Li Xun can also grab it immediately, and then pass it to Yao Ming for a second offense.

The second is Li Xun's card position, which allows Yao Ming to only face one defensive player all the time.

It's even possible that both Chandler and Love will be stuck with Lee Hoon.

Like these traditional top centers, everyone knows how scary the 1V1 situation under the basket is.

This makes Yao Ming's efficiency amazing.

Li Xun has already begun to miss the days when he won the championship with Yao Ming.

Leading by seven points in the first half, things looked very good.

But the Tianchao team is still a little worried, mainly because Yao Ming's physical fitness can't keep up.

With his current tonnage, in fact, he can only last for 10 minutes.

No matter how long it takes, he won't be able to handle it at all. Even on the court, his offensive and defensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Like those young people, they can recover a lot of physical fitness by taking advantage of the inter-section rest time or time-out time to catch their breath.

But these old guys can't do it, their physical fitness is not so easy to recover.

Yao Ming played another 5 minutes in the second half, and the effect was really bad.

He has begun to be unable to defend Chandler, and the offensive end cannot withstand Chandler's defense.

Although Li Xun is there to help, it is impossible for Li Xun to play one-on-two in every offensive and defensive round.

In the end, Yao Ming took the initiative to leave the field. He knew very well that he could no longer help the team by staying on the field, and might even have a counterproductive effect.

"The rest is up to you, Li Xun."

"Come on, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Yao Ming panted heavily, and said to Li Xun.

Li Xun nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Yao."

This Olympic Games is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Now Yao Ming can still play half the court, how can Yao Ming play half the court in another four years.

And Li Xun doesn't remember any decent players emerging four years later.

There is Zhou Qi instead.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Zhou Qi is indeed the ceiling of the new generation of domestic insiders, and this is the reality.

But if there is no template card, Zhou Qi is useless.

In the first 5 minutes of the second half, the two sides failed to widen the point difference, and continued to maintain a 7-point point difference.

With Yao Ming's exit, the coach of the dream team, Old K, heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt that the dream team led by him would surely win.

In his opinion, the strength of this Chinese men's basketball team is indeed good.

Especially Li Xun's point is indeed extremely powerful.

But according to the barrel theory, this team has too many shortcomings.

With Yao Ming's exit, another shortcoming was exposed, and his strength will only decline even more.

Sure enough, by the end of the third quarter, only the last point remained from the original seven-point gap.

The Celestial Dynasty fans were suddenly relieved.

It was only the last step away from winning, but unexpectedly, it was still a failure.

Li Xun sat on the sidelines, thinking about countermeasures with his teammates.

The main problem now is that they can't prevent the opponent's players.

Under this FIBA ​​rule, James' offensive power is limited, but Anthony and Durant are a bit confused.

"Li Xun, why don't you attack too."

"If we don't attack, we will die slowly."

Gong Luming said worriedly.

三节比赛打完，李勋入账了16分26篮板10助攻7盖帽4抢断。

This data is enough to be called luxury.

But the score is too little.

If Li Xun didn't participate in the attack, he would indeed be dying slowly now.

However, if you fully participate in the offense, the team's penalty area is not guaranteed, and the situation may not necessarily improve.

Li Xun also had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor now.

If you attack, you still have a chance.

If we continue to play like this, losing is the only result.

Back on the court, Li Xun did not enter the penalty area this time, but Da Zhi, who came off the bench, entered the penalty area.

Big Zhi himself is not that kind of traditional center.

There is no other way now, but let him go to the top.

Just at the beginning of the game, Durant scored a three-pointer, directly overtaking the difference between the two sides, and the Dream Team has already led by two points.

Turning his head, Li Xun took a step back and made a mid-range shot. He scored steadily and chased the score back.

In the following time, the two sides continued to fight anxiously.

Li Xun's shooting percentage is actually high enough, but Dazhi can't effectively protect the rebounds at the basket.

No one can expect Big Zhi to beat Chandler or Love on the rebounding end. This is completely impossible.

With such strength, top rebounding ability and big Zhi's one-handed shooting skills, not to mention becoming a first-line star, he can at least gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

The rebounds can't be protected, which leads to the dream team's lead getting bigger and bigger.

Li Xun now has a feeling of helplessness, he can finally feel the despair of his NBA opponents.

It is no exaggeration to say that when those NBA teams play the Pistons, it is like the Chinese team playing the dream team.

And the gap may be even bigger. After all, the Dream Team does not have the luxurious inside combination of the Pistons.

What is the concept of the Pistons' inside combination?
In the first two years, Li Xun partnered with Yao Ming, and in the next year, Li Xun partnered with Howard.

It doesn't matter which of these two is the number one center in the league at the time, anyway, they are at least the top two centers.

Plus Li Xun, the No. [-] power forward.

This power can be imagined.

This is definitely the strongest inside combination in NBA history, because there has never been an inside combination of the first center and the first power forward in NBA history.

The Pistons' backcourt combination is not weak, and their lineup is completely comparable to the Dream Team.

To be reasonable, if the dream team pulls out to fight the Pistons, the chance of winning the Pistons may be only [-] to [-]%.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the last 2 minutes of the game.

The Tianchao team has fallen behind by six points.

Li Xun tried his best. In the fourth quarter, he has already scored 21 points.

In terms of offensive efficiency, it is not worse than Anthony's 14 points in 37 minutes.

But there is no way, the Celestial Dynasty can't defend against the opponent's attack, the opponent has more attack points, and the point difference can only be opened step by step.

"Brothers, we can only fight for the last 2 minutes."

"If we win the fight, we may be able to leave our name in history."

Li Xun began to encourage his teammates at this juncture.

"Speak, Brother Li, we all listen to you."

Sun Yue quickly expressed his opinion.

"Okay, let's shoot three-pointers desperately at the last moment. We can only pin our hopes on three-pointers."

"Give me the ball and I'll shoot."

Li Xun's whole body was full of confidence.

Now he hasn't left the Pistons, so Curry is still his teammate, so he still enjoys Curry's attributes.

In the last 2 minutes, if you want to recover the point difference, three points is undoubtedly the best way.

It can even be said to be the only means.

If you keep scoring two points in 2 minutes, unless you can get the whistle and hit a lot of 2+1s, it will be difficult to recover the point difference.

After all, it is impossible for the dream team not to score.

All the generals nodded one after another, they could only rely on Li Xun at this last moment.

Return to the court after the timeout ends.

Ah Lian's three-pointer was not particularly good. He began to run without the ball, which involved the opponent's defense.

Sun Yue controlled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Li Xun.

Facing Durant's defense, Li Xun opened his hand for a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Li Xun felt a thump in his heart when he failed to make a three-pointer.

This three-point miss is too fatal. Originally, they still had at least a [-]% chance of winning, but now they may only have a [-]% chance.

If you still don't make it in the next offensive round, then everything may be gone.

When it was the turn of the Dream Team to attack, Paul scored two points, bringing the point difference to eight points.

Li Xun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At this juncture, you must not be anxious.

He hasn't fought such a difficult battle for a long time. In the previous games in the NBA, he swept his opponents.

Sun Yue still controls the ball and passes the ball to Li Xun in the frontcourt.

This time Li Xun stepped back and made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Still missed, Li Xun's heart was half cold.

Is it such bad luck?

It is a common thing to hit irons on the basketball court, but it is too fatal to hit two irons in a row, and it is at such a critical point.

Two offensive rounds, plus a defensive round, have consumed 40 seconds of time, and there is a little more than 1 minute left in the game.

Now there is still an eight-point gap left, and it is too difficult to recover.

Unless Lee Hoon has a McGrady moment or a Miller moment.

In the offensive round of the dream team, they already had the chance to win, and they were slowly pacing in the frontcourt, wasting time.

They knew very well that although winning this game was difficult, if nothing else happened, they would be the winners.

After 20 seconds, with more than 50 seconds left in the game, Kobe made a shot.

"boom!"

Kobe's shot also missed, but it didn't have a big impact, and it didn't affect the result in their opinion.

The difference is only winning double digits and single digits.

Not daring to waste time, Sun Yue quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and passed the ball directly to Li Xun just after the half-court line.

When Li Xun was one step away from the three-point line, he took a step back.

It is equivalent to saying that his shot point is at least two steps away from the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Finally scored.

After Li Xun returned from a timeout, he finally hit one of three three-pointers.

The point difference came to five points.

This offensive round consumed a total of seven seconds, and there were still about 50 seconds left in the game.

The Dream Team is still not in a hurry, and they still have a great advantage.

In 50 seconds, they will spend a little time here, at best it will be two rounds of offense and defense.

If the Tianchao men's basketball team wants to win, they must hit three-pointers in both rounds, and the Dream Team must hit both irons.

The probability of this is obviously quite small.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Chris Paul assisted Love at the basket and scored two points, bringing the point difference back to seven.

The Dream Team generals laughed.

The game is solid.

Li Xun felt cold in his heart, but he still didn't give up hope.

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he can't let go of the chance to win the gold.

Continuing to attack wildly, still about two steps away from the three-point line, Li Xun made another three-pointer.

When the basketball flew to the basket, he prayed silently in his heart.

Perhaps prayers worked, and the ball went hollow again.

The point difference has come to four points.

It's a pity that there are only 20 seconds left in the game.

Paul was still in possession of the ball, and Sun Yue hurried forward to press.

Paul didn't pay attention to Sun Yue at all. After pacing outside for a few seconds, he was ready to change direction.

With Sun Yue's height, he is doomed to suffer from the breakthrough of a small man like Paul.

So he was easily passed by Paul.

But at this moment, Li Xun rushed out quickly, and directly took Paul's ball with his big hand.

It's a pity that the ball was too hard and the ball flew towards the boundary line.

If this is out of bounds, it will still be the Dream Team's right to the ball, which almost means that they will win.

Sun Yue stepped forward at this moment.

The whole person fell out almost lying flat, and slapped the ball in the direction of the front court in mid-air.

How dare Li Xun let go of this last chance to win, and rushed forward with big strides.

After reaching the frontcourt, Li Xun picked up the ball from beyond the three-point line, and without even thinking about it, he directly shot a three-pointer.

After the shot, he has continued to run towards the basket.

If the goal is missed, he can still grab two points.

"Shh!"

Make another three points.

The point difference is only the last point.

But there are only ten seconds left.

Gong Luming hastily called a timeout. It's a pity that they don't have the ball in the last ten seconds, so they must arrange tactics.

The tactics that can be used now are foul tactics, and they cannot foul people without the ball.

The current NBA rule is that in the last 2 minutes, no fouls can be made against players without the ball, otherwise the opponent will get two free throws and one throw.

Later, in order to limit the rampant tactics of hacking sharks, the time was changed to the last 2 minutes of each game.

In the FIBA ​​rules, there is no such restriction, but fouls against players without the ball in the last 2 minutes may be called a violation.

That's also a penalty of two free throws.

That's two free throws plus one possession.

Now at this juncture, once the Tianchao team is called two free throws, it must be cold, there is no chance.

So you can only foul the ball holder and send him to the free throw line.

If he misses two free throws, the Tianchao team will have plenty of time to catch up to the point difference.

If two free throws hit one, the point difference becomes two points. Li Xun can choose to let the game enter overtime, or directly kill the game with three points.

Even if two free throws are made, the Tianchao men's basketball team still has the opportunity to drag the game into overtime.

Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Sun Yue saved not only the ball, but also their chance to win.

There is no doubt that Sun Yue has made meritorious service.
