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

Chapter 213 The American team is getting normal

Wade was really a little depressed. He clearly saw Lin Dong pounce on the ball just now.

But if you think about it carefully, you feel that from the moment the opponent started, the turn that made both you and LeBron mistakenly thought it was a defensive attack, seemed to be just a feint. When LeBron moved, Lin Dong He followed immediately. In fact, he didn't lose his defensive position at all.

It's just that there were too many dramas at that moment, enough for both himself and LeBron to misjudge the situation at the same time.

This was completely beyond the scope of reaction. It felt like the other party had the ability to read minds and seemed to have already seen through his and LeBron's plans.

This goal was not thrown unfairly, but it was also really frustrating.

Old K had to call a timeout.

It's only 7 points. This kind of point difference is easy for the US team to catch up, but the prerequisite is that LeBron must be replaced for a while.

After only a few days in the team, he was able to make others follow his lead, so that everyone knew that Lin Dong was difficult to deal with in that position, but they ignored other better offensive positions and insisted on attacking Lin Dong's position. Just to help LeBron find his stretch as soon as possible?

Old K's eyes are sharp.

This group of people are not Duke's biological sons. He can allow them to have a certain degree of arrogance and personality. For example, if Wade wanted to challenge Lin Dong just now, then Old K would have nothing to say after losing the ball, even if it was Le Brown did not realize the gap and wanted to try again, so he lost the ball, and Old K could tolerate it.

But in order to help LeBron, Wade went to beat Lin Dong, and for this he gave up obviously more opportunities on the right. Such an irrational choice, it seems that the whole team revolves around him and LeBron alone. But it made Old K a little intolerable.

Forming a gang under his nose?

"Are you two faggots? Do you think my court is your big bed? You can play whatever you want?"

As soon as the players got off the field, Old K's venomous words came mercilessly: "You two only deserve to use the toilet once! Get out and find a toilet before you come out after making love. Don't dirty my eyes here." !”

Everyone else was holding back their laughter, while Wade and LeBron looked embarrassed.

But Old K obviously had no intention of giving them a chance to explain, and instead shouted: "Anthony, Paul, you two come on!"

"Pull Lin Dong to the weak side for me." He instructed Anthony, and then looked at Ford: "TJ, the offensive end focuses on the strong side and the basket. Brown, you said you would draft this year, the scouts on the sidelines But everyone is watching, but you are acting like a sissy today! Open up the space for me, and don’t get entangled with that guy under the basket. Europeans are good at positional warfare, and your advantage is in mobile warfare. Give me When I start running, if anyone is stuck on the court like a telegraph pole again, I will take him off!"

"As for the defense, it's time to give them more strength." A cold flash flashed in Old K's eyes: "Mark me all over the court. Don't let that Lin Dong catch the ball so easily. If you want to win in the first half, The winner will be determined on the spot, and that Japanese is your best breakthrough!"

………………

Compared to the scolding voice of Old K over there, the international team was much more joyful, and the players at the end of the game all clapped and celebrated.

Frankly speaking, even though Yunus knew that Lin Dong was unstoppable, facing the American team, it was still a huge surprise for him to have a dream start of 9:2 at the beginning.

This is all due to Lin Dong's attraction to firepower. Of course, it is also thanks to the sufficient cooperation of LeBron on the opposite side.

But Yunus knew very well that Old K would not just watch the American team being hammered. This timeout would be the beginning of the opponent's changes. The advantage gained before could at best give the international team a little more room for error. , the real fierce battle has just begun.

The American team returned to the field and looked very different from just now.

Not only did LeBron and Wade be replaced, but the offensive rhythm of the entire team also changed significantly.

Prior to this, the US team had not made much movement. After all, the topic of LeBron and Lin Dong had already begun to ferment in the media a few days ago. The reporters on the sidelines were almost all waiting to see the duel between the two. LeBron's image during training was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the relationship within the team was a mess. Therefore, most of these teammates knew that it was not their time to steal the show, and they were giving up the stage to LeBron intentionally or unintentionally. I just didn't expect that it would become Lin Dong's success.

So much so that everyone was watching the show most of the time, as if they were collectively sealed, and then the international team easily scored a 7-0 climax.

And Old K's scolding and replacing LeBron seemed to open the seal of the American team...

The new player Carmelo Anthony executed the old K's arrangement perfectly, pulling the defensive Lin Dong to the left weak side.

But it is different from the scene when the Japanese high school team faced Lin Dong and used scoring points to pull him to the weak side and then ignored him. Although the US team's main attack point at this time was obviously on the right side, Anthony was also on the weak side. Running constantly, trying to get rid of Lin Dong's entanglement to catch the ball, his positive attitude is obviously different from the tactic of 'pull him away if you don't dare to face Lin Dong'.

Not only did it draw Lin Dong's attention to a certain extent, but it also used the team's strength to help him share the pressure from Lin Dong, and did not completely separate himself from the team's system.

This is a whole.

TJ Ford passed the midfielder with the ball. At this time, Kwame Brown under the basket had already pulled Darko Milicic to the free throw line and moved him away from the basket.

Facing Rukawa Kaede's defense, TJ Ford did not hesitate this time. Unlike Wade's silky breakthrough in disguise, his breakthrough was more like an extremely sharp knife, stabbing wherever he pointed.

Defend? As a mortal, how can you defend yourself against a knife?

Kaede Rukawa was easily broken through. At this time, Darko Milicic, who was closest to the basket, had to throw away Kwame Brown to help defend, but as soon as he moved, Kwame Brown started to drill towards the basket again, and then received TJ· Ford made a crotch pass as if to wash away Darko Milicic, and succeeded in a dunk.

At 9:4, the US team pulled back 2 points.

The reporters on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. This finally looked like the American team. If they kept going, they could quickly get back the score within three to five minutes at most. International team possession of the ball.

Darko Milicic threw the ball to Rukawa Kaede at the baseline, but he didn't expect that what followed was a full-court press from the US team.

What Europeans in this era are best at is positional warfare. They play precise basketball under the basket and use their inside advantage to create opportunities for the outside. This means that their confrontational nature is not weak, but at the same time they also lack a certain degree of flexibility. .

At this time, facing the running and pressing of the US team, you can immediately feel that the players on the field are a little uncomfortable. The previous integrity has been affected, so that no one came forward to respond to the goalkeeper immediately. Rukawa Kaede of the ball.

Defending Kaede Rukawa is TJ Ford.

Although he doesn't have Lin Dong's extraordinary wingspan and ubiquitous defensive confrontation, with his fast speed and quick reaction, TJ Ford almost made Rukawa Kaede lose the ball in several pressings.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong feels that Rukawa Kaede has actually made great progress during this period.

If it were Rukawa Kaede during Japan's winter selection, facing TJ Ford's level of pressing defense, Rukawa Kaede, who could not open the zone, would not be able to dribble the ball through half the court. Let alone how good this guy is in the zone. With a thorough understanding and control, he probably didn't even know how that state appeared during the winter selection.

But now, Rukawa Kaede, who is not in the zone, can at least control the ball through half the court, but the butt that has to be pushed up feels like he is learning from Liu Wei. If the Rukawa Meiko group in the Japanese stands see this, I am afraid it will It will greatly affect his image as a handsome guy.

Lin Dong did not choose to respond at halftime. Some things must be faced by the players themselves. If they can't even pass the halftime, then Rukawa Kaede has no qualifications to stay on the court.

But...this is probably Rukawa Kaede's limit.

When the ball passed through the midfield, Lin Dong quickly responded first.

One's pick-and-roll response helped Rukawa Kaede slightly relieve the pressure of ball control. When the two of them missed each other, the hand-to-hand pass also smoothly handed over the dominance of the offense to Lin Dong.

As for the pick-and-roll mismatch between the two, they didn't even have to wait for Lin Dong to break through. Anthony and TJ Ford had already made a mistake on their own.

Anthony's first reaction was to take advantage of the situation and let TJ Ford guard Lin Dong; while Ford's idea was to beat him to death and not want to be dunked by that guy again.

Frankly speaking, both of them have good ideas, and they are not avoiding the battle because they are afraid of Lin Dong.

There is a full 17cm height difference between TJ Ford and Lin Dong, and Lin Dong's speed, breakthrough and ball protection abilities have been obvious to all before. TJ Ford knows very well that he cannot guard the opponent at all.

But he didn't understand Anthony's defensive habits...but Lin Dong did!

This future superstar, who is famous for his kaleidoscope of offense in the Four Heroes, is most criticized for his defense.

His single defense ability is actually not bad. If he wants, he can even restrict Kobe to a certain extent.

Because Melon himself is also a powerful attacker, he is often unique in interpreting the opponent's offensive intentions, which allows him to always make correct judgments. Coupled with his physical strength advantage, he can even start from the No. 1 position. Guard to position 5.

But the problem is that his ability to help defend is too poor, his awareness of switching defenses is also too poor, his lateral movement is slow, and his center of gravity is too high when filling positions, making it easy for people to pass by, and his defensive attitude is often based on gambling. This makes it easy for him to give his opponents wide-open 3-pointers when he is on defense, just like now...

At the moment of misalignment, Anthony and TJ Ford almost unanimously chose Rukawa Kaede, who was thrown to the right. However, Lin Dong, who came out of the misplacement, saw nothing in front of him.

This made Yunas off the court feel a little unbelievable.

That Japanese Kaede Rukawa actually took away two defenders? Is he so important to Americans...

Lin Dong easily jumped up and hit a pull-up 3-pointer.

Knowing your enemy is half the battle.

Swish!

The ball scored, 12:4.

This made the reporters on the sidelines who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly become a little nervous again.

Is the gap still widening?

Fortunately, the American team responded quickly.

TJ Ford passed the midfielder with the ball, and Chris Paul, who had just come on, played a pick-and-roll with him. The two's super speed and dazzling passes played between Kaede Rukawa and Alexander.

Two little men of 1.8 meters opened a big gap in an instant. Chris Paul jumped high and raised the knife in his hand.

Three points were also scored, 3:12!
