The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 212 The enemy who knows you best

It's okay for Old K. He can obviously see that LeBron can't be blamed.

This level of close-pressing defense, coupled with Payton's personal style and obvious playoff intensity of pressing, let alone LeBron, even if you find the best ball-protecting player in high schools in the United States, it will probably be difficult. All will have the same result.

This kind of defense is unsolvable for high school students!

The only way...

Old K endured it and did not give timely reminders or pointers. The gap between the two teams in other positions was obvious, and Old K felt that there was no need to fight for these two goals.

The training these days has made him very optimistic about this son of Russia, a very smart kid, and now he wants to see what LeBron can do.

But Old K's calmness obviously does not mean that the reporters off the court and the celebrities in the stands can also be calm.

The reporters were obviously a little embarrassed.

If your first ball is intercepted, they can also write in the press release that you were careless. First, you can highlight the strength of your opponent, and then winning will be more exciting and dramatic.

But it was cut off again within two minutes, which was a bit difficult to edit.

They are here to report on the bravery of the Chosen One, and to promote that the United States is still standing on top of the world even though it is in turmoil.

It is not to help Asians report how the chosen one was beaten, nor to report how America is going downhill and the sun is setting.

But the problem is... If you do this now, how can they write this press release?

Did you write that you were careless again?

Almost everyone present has stayed up all night to help you brag all night across the United States. Don't mess with us, man, we are very angry and the consequences will be serious!

As for the celebrities in the stands...

Frankly, these celebrities don't know a shit about basketball, and most of them don't even understand many of the basic rules of basketball.

So what are the celebrities here to see?

They just came to see the excitement, and they came to see the excitement that was beneficial to the United States.

After the U.S. team wins, they will give a few words of praise to the Chosen Ones who have made a big splash, take a photo with them, etc., and then take advantage of the limelight to take the lead in setting up a youth basketball club or a Chosen Ones Fund, even with the IRS. They have already applied for the 501c form in advance!

After that, the celebrities present can start to enter the most important part of the day: donating 1 yuan will get at least 3 yuan back. Finally, they can use the donation bill to deduct the full amount of tax, and they can also show their love for young people in front of the public media. Encourage and care about others, show your sense of social responsibility, and strengthen your personal image...

That’s all, everyone is familiar with process business.

Otherwise, except for NBA bosses like Cuban, Bezos and the others would come to see a piece of shit like Nike Basketball. If they wanted to see it, they would go to watch the NBA live. Who would be watching a bunch of brats!

But now, this originally perfect process seems to be a bit aborted?

"..." The celebrities frowned.

Can that guy from Russia and Russia do it? If it doesn't work, just replace it quickly.

………………

Although LeBron, who had the ball stolen, quickly chased after him, he was still unable to return to his normal defensive position when faced with Lin Dong, who was faster than him.

A chasing shot missed, and Lin Dong easily switched hands and scored a layup.

7: 2.

"Brother, this kid is a little tough on you." Wade is the oldest among this group of people. Even Kwame Brown and Chandler, who announced today that they will be drafted, are several months younger than him. People are honest, and they usually don’t like to take advantage of Big Brother.

After all, he has been training with the team in the NCAA for a year. The NCAA is not a happy basketball. The defensive intensity there is not comparable to that of high school.

Frankly speaking, the NCAA is the most professional basketball place in the United States. In terms of understanding of basketball, the teams in the NCAA are probably more professional than the NBA. The difference is only in personal ability.

Wade could see the reason for the NBA playoff-level intensity Lin Dong showed just now. If he continues to fight one-on-one, LeBron will not be able to win. If he becomes more impatient because of this, it will be a disaster for him. The Chosen One's reputation would be a fatal blow.

He was about to give a warning, but when he saw the high school brother in front of him, who he had just met not long ago, there was no trace of impatience or embarrassment on his face, instead he started to laugh.

"Hey!" LeBron smiled and patted Wade on the shoulder: "Brother, I can help you a little bit..."

Team USA has the ball.

LeBron did not ask for the ball from the high post, but took the initiative to play without the ball, pulling Lin Dong to the left baseline position, and then stood there leisurely, seemingly completely affected by the few balls just now. He had no intention of participating in the attack.

If you don't hold the ball, you won't lose the ball. This is a simple truth.

As for Lin Dong's defensive skills and fiery touch when pulling up from outside the three-point line that he just showed, if it were any coach to guide him, I am afraid that the first choice would be to give this guy some time to dry out and give him that hot touch. Cool down the feeling and condition of being hot.

If you want to attack, there are plenty of opportunities. There is no need to rush in when the enemy is feeling hot.

Old K couldn't help but show an appreciative smile on the sidelines.

As a hot-blooded high school student, he has just lost face in front of his opponents one after another, but he can immediately calm down and choose the most cowardly but correct way to solve the problem. Even in the NCAA college basketball world, he has such qualities. Players are also rare.

LeBron seems to have made the right choice.

But Lin Dong's lips turned up into a smile.

Although this guy has six major shortcomings in the 03 scouting report, don't forget that he also has twelve major strengths in his football evaluation report...

——The number of forced shots is very few. He is good at finding the root of the problem and making timely adjustments. He is not as calm as a high school student, but more like a 27-year-old old guard...

This seems to be in line with his current choice, but is this really his plan?

——Three-pointers and breakthroughs from the baseline are LeBron's trump card. His shooting rate from the baseline three-pointer is much higher than his less stable mid-range shot, and he can easily complete dunks or assists when walking from the baseline.

Lin Dong couldn't help but want to laugh.

Will LeBron be willing to be a green leaf? Then he wouldn't be called the little emperor!

Playing tricks on your mind is obviously the wrong choice to play against an enemy who knows you too well, even better than you know yourself. It seems that there are more than 6 shortcomings. In front of him, even LeBron's advantages can be turned into shortcomings for him!

He stayed at the bottom line calmly.

At this time, TJ Ford has already passed the midline with the ball and connected with Wade.

One is the Lightning Engine who has not yet suffered a serious injury, and the other is the Flash who has not yet had his meniscus removed. The luxurious lineup will absolutely overwhelm the back line composed of Kaede Rukawa and Alexander.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dongdu is nervous for the international team's back line. If these two attack, LeBron will have nothing to do.

Although Lin Dong's successive heroic performances just now made the American team feel a slight threat, the psychological advantage when facing the international team still exists.

In a misplacement, Wade shook off Alexander and went around to catch the ball. He turned around and faced Kaede Rukawa, who was defending him after the misplacement.

Compared with the tank-type guard in later generations who gained weight after having his meniscus removed and became "Fat Wei", Wade at this time is the one who deserves the name of the Flash!

His absolute speed may not be as fast as TJ Ford, but his flexibility, breakthrough rhythm, etc. are better than Ford.

At this time, he only moved forward slightly while holding the ball.

Rukawa Kaede could feel the opponent's wind-like starting speed. At this time, he subconsciously began to pull his center of gravity back, and his left leg moved slightly backward. Unexpectedly, Wade just feinted a shot.

Rukawa Kaede had to pull back the center of gravity of the rear adjustment, but at the moment when he pulled the center of gravity back, the figure that had just feinted him suddenly started to move.

call!

Rukawa Kaede felt a hurricane suddenly rush out from his left side, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.

So fast!

Is it because of the shaken center of gravity? Is it because of the rhythm controlled by the other party? Or is it because the other party is not inferior to Lin Dong's starting speed and absolute speed?

Frankly speaking, both, and more importantly, since the winter selection, he has never been in the same state as when he faced off against Lin Dong.

And without that state, I felt like I couldn't even make defensive moves at that moment!

One step over!

The next second, an unexpected figure suddenly came towards Wade to defend him.

It's Lin Dong!

A smile appeared on Wade's face.

Regardless of whether he plays Alexander or Ford plays Rukawa Kaede, in fact, there is no need for pick-and-roll mismatches at all. The reason why he chooses such trouble is just to choose this breakthrough route, to attract Lin Dong's defense, and then open up for his good brother Come on space!

Judging from the current performance of this international team, apart from Lin Dong, except for Darko Milicic who can barely compete with Kwame Brown, everyone else is at a completely weak level.

Like chasing points at any time, Wade has never thought about losing. All he wants now is to support his brothers.

Before Lin Dong could fully pounce, Wade's peripheral vision had already seen LeBron suddenly start on the baseline and rush towards the basket.

At this time, Wade simply ignored Lin Dong's defense. Wade threw the basketball in his hand high toward the basket, but he felt something was wrong the moment the ball was thrown.

Where is Lin Dong?

At this time, Kwame Brown used his strength advantage to hold Darko Milicic firmly behind him, and directly in front of his sight, in addition to the flying basketball, there was also LeBron's sudden rush to the basket. Jumping body.

At this time, LeBron raised his eyebrows. His defense was a little bit worse, and he was not the best at handling the ball. But when it came to using his brain to play and scoring alley-oops, there was no one in the United States who could compare to him. Stronger young people come!

The opportunity is only for a moment.

Give you a big reward...

But the next second, before the thought could finish in LeBron's mind, he already saw a figure rising from the side of him, jumping almost at the same time as him, almost as high as him.

What makes LeBron even more uncomfortable is that the opponent's take-off position is completely blocked in the route of Wade's throw.

Snapped!

With just one stretch of his big hand, he firmly grabbed the basketball passed to LeBron for an alley-oop from the air.

Lin Dong? !

Is it Lin Dong again? ! It's him again!

LeBron was taken aback.

Wasn't he attracted to Wade just now? The moment he saw Wade throw the ball, he reacted immediately, but even just turning his head took time, let alone turning to rush over.

How could he be so fast?

And how could he jump so high in a hurry!

LeBron, Wade and others on the US team were all a little shocked at this time, but Lin Dong threw the basketball forward before he landed.

"Rukawa!"

He shouted.

And Rukawa Kaede, who had just been passed by Wade, was already rushing towards the frontcourt before everyone else.

His level is a bit lower than them, but thanks to this, his concentration on the game is also the most dedicated of all.

TJ Ford and Wade both reacted and chased towards the frontcourt, but Rukawa Kaede was not a turtle after all. They were already six or seven steps behind, and even the Lightning Engine could not catch up.

Swish!

Kaede Rukawa made a layup and scored the ball steadily.

9: 2!
