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

Chapter 222 Kill the crazy Asian team!

On the sidelines, Yunus frowned and relaxed slightly.

Regardless of whether it was luck or not, this 3+1 really extended the life of the international team.

As the free throw was steadily made by Kaede Rukawa, the International team got a good start in the second half at 56:58, and the point difference was close to 2 points again.

Team USA's possession of the ball.

It can be seen that these Asians who just came on the field have a very active defensive attitude and momentum, and the 3+1 just now has boosted their morale, but... morale is not enough to make up for the gap in strength.

The international team's strategy is to focus on defending against 3-pointers. Faced with Rukawa Kaede's stalking on the outside, Wade easily breaks through in one step.

The concept of zone is a scientific analysis and summary from the sports world of later generations. For this era, players do not have such a clear concept. Even if opening a zone is as easy as eating and drinking, it has even entered zone2.0. For version of Jordan, he couldn't explain why he was in such a state. He could only attribute it to 'entering the game quickly', 'enough concentration' and so on.

For young and famous players like Wade, the amount of training is large enough and professional. In fact, zone has become the same normal state for them as Lin Dong. They just don’t understand and can’t take the initiative to start the second stage. .

As long as these people focus, they will always be at the 70% zone level. Occasionally, they can accidentally burst into version 2.0... such as McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

Therefore, even if Rukawa Kaede is in full condition, facing Wade's breakthrough on the defensive end, it actually doesn't make any difference whether he can open the zone or not. His consciousness has caught up with him, and his defensive actions are no problem, but his physical condition cannot keep up. If the speed is slow, it is slow.

Although the defensive attitude was sufficient, a chasing shot was missed, and Wade switched hands and scored a layup.

56: 60.

The reporters on the sidelines cheered, and Rukawa Kaede looked at the scoreboard.

4 points left...

The international team turned around and immediately repeated their old tricks. Lin Dong held the ball across the center line. Rukawa Kaede stepped forward to catch the ball, turned around and jumped to shoot with the help of Lin Dong's cover.

Turn around, take off, and hold the ball with your right hand.

And long before doing this action, as early as when he was still running, he was already using the corner of his eye to capture all the detailed information that could be seen.

For example, where you are on the three-point line at this time and how far away the sideline is from you, by observing the two positions, you can clearly construct in your mind where you are on the court, and the basketball How far away and at what angle should the basket be after you turn around, how much strength should you use, and how should you throw it...

At this moment, my mind was filled with all kinds of information, calculating as fast as a computer. I was fully immersed in it, and the messy tension and thoughts before had long disappeared.

Zone is not a metaphysics, it is a refinement of the will and brain, making you focused and pure, making it easier for you to control your body, and allowing you to do things that are usually difficult to do under various interferences.

And when all of this comes together, Rukawa Kaede can feel that every detail of himself is in a state of perfection, and everything about this shot seems to be under control.

The moment he turned around and jumped up, Wade beside him was still frantically trying to cover Lin Dong from the side, but Rukawa Kaede's eyes had not even seen the basket, and the basketball had already shot out.

This guy's shot was so fast that Wade felt that this guy's shot left no room for the defender to block the shot. He didn't even look at the frame!

It's impossible to get in!

Wade turned his head and looked in the direction of the backboard, but what he saw was the moment when the basketball went hollow into the net.

Wade was stunned.

3 points in!

Rukawa Kaede clenched his fists fiercely, while the American reporters on the sidelines opened their mouths.

59: 60!

This Asian has actually scored two 2-pointers in a row, including the previous 3+3.

Moreover, anyone with some discernment can see the real difficulty of the two shots this guy just made. Even in the NBA, as long as someone can cooperate with him in the pick-and-roll, it would be difficult to guard him. , not to mention that the individual defensive ability is far inferior to that of high school and college basketball in the NBA.

"Dwyane!" Old K expressed his dissatisfaction on the sidelines and roared at him: "How many more points do you want that Asian to score? Stick to me tighter! Otherwise, get off!"

"Yes, coach!" Wade Nen blushed.

With this guy's current 3-point shooting speed, as long as Lin Dong completes the pick-and-roll with him, it will be almost impossible to defend. The only way is to destroy their pick-and-roll. In fact, this is not difficult. There is the simplest way, and that is Just pay attention to Lin Dong's position at all times, and then block between them to prevent the two of them from having a chance to be intimate.

I obviously underestimated these Asians before, so I have to work more seriously and focused on the defensive end...

The American team was still extremely sharp in the offensive round, or in other words, the Asian team had too little interference with the defensive team, even less than the European team that had previously performed poorly.

Compared with the magical 3-pointers that relied on the cooperation of Lin Dong and Rukawa Kaede just now, the defensive end is undoubtedly the place where the skills of this Asian team are tested more, but obviously their skills are not enough.

TJ Ford holds the ball and drives past Pietrus on the right. Compared to Pietrus' persistent explosive defense on the left, the right now becomes his gap. In addition, TJ's breakthrough is actually faster than Jay. And impactful, easy to pass through.

Zhu Fangyu, who was following Kwame Brown's movement, immediately covered up the defense. TJ did not choose to hit hard. He made a wonderful pass, assisted Kwame Brown who was missed, and made a two-handed dunk.

The overall attack time only took 7 seconds, and the smooth cooperation was already completed. The Asian team's defense seemed to be useless to them, making the reporters on the sidelines and the spectators in the stands look relaxed.

Even though the Asian team seems to have caught up with the score, 3-pointers cannot always be accurate. The reason why the fairy ball is called the fairy ball is because it is difficult to replicate.

The American team plays every ball with reasonableness and success rate, and how many more magical 3-pointers can you Asians score?

No matter who looks at it, Team USA is firmly in the upper hand.

59: 62.

International team possession.

Lin Dong held the ball to the top of the three-point arc. He hit the two balls just now so easily. He was just holding the ball and making fake moves. He was almost standing without moving much. It was completely equivalent to resting and recuperating.

It feels really good to have teammates step up and score.

But as soon as I glanced at the entire field at this time, I could immediately feel that the American team was focused on the defensive end, which was obviously much better than before.

Wade clung to Rukawa Kaede, always blocking Rukawa Kaede and his route. At this time, Rukawa Kaede wanted to get rid of or bypass Wade and came forward to do a pick-and-roll with Lin Dong, but he was stunned by Wade. It was stuck in place, blocked on the left and right, making it impossible for Rukawa Kaede to cross the thunder pool even half a step!

This continuous pick-and-roll pursuit of points seems to be impossible. But a smile appeared on Lin Dong's face.

The offense of this lineup is one link inside another. Now that the first link of Rukawa Kaede has been set up by the American team, it is time to move on to the second link.

call!

Lin Dong made a sudden move to the left and squeezed into Bosh's defensive position on the right side. His breakthrough had already made everyone on the US team taboo, especially the breakthrough from the left, which was not only fast but also rhythmic. The feeling is very well controlled, and it always gets stuck at a point that makes you uncomfortable.

For example, the node where you breathe, the node where your body’s center of gravity shifts, and the node where your consciousness is distracted.

The defensive distance was further extended, this guy's 3-pointer was accurate, and his first step was really unstoppable...

Bosh could barely keep up, and based on the American team's experience in defending Lin Dong in the first half, what was needed at this time was assistance.

The closest player was Wade. He immediately subconsciously wanted to cover up the defense, but Kaede Rukawa in front of him suddenly made a counter run toward the 3-point line, which made Wade calm down quickly.

This is a trap...

If he were to defend Lin Dong and let this guy who was feeling hot at the moment go to the outside for a 3-pointer, that would be more dangerous than letting Lin Dong rush into the inside.

Wade immediately chose to follow Kaede Rukawa. At the same time, Kwame Brown, who was near the right free throw line, also realized that Wade would not cover up. He immediately came over to cover up Sakuragi, who was also running around on the right. Hanamichi also led Anthony towards the basket.

Anthony couldn't help but was amused by this guy again. His teammates were all trying their best to help Lin Dong open up space, but this idiot actually took the initiative to squeeze inside... Anthony followed suit.

The situation on the court changed rapidly. At this moment, a 3-on-2 situation was formed between Bosh, Kwame Brown, and Anthony on the inside against Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

At this time, Pietrus was in the bottom corner of the left line, and Rukawa Kaede led Wade to the top of the left three-point arc. Everyone seemed to think they had found the target, but they completely missed another person...

When Kwame Brown was on defense, Zhu Fangyu had already made a counter move and ran towards the three-point line on the right side.

At this time, Lin Dong jumped up high to meet Kwame Brown and Bosh who were coming to defend. The two people there also jumped to block at the same time, but what was ushered in was a large-scale back pass from Lin Dong.

Swish!

The basketball was passed to Zhu Fangyu outside the 3-point line.

The American team was surprised when they discovered that one person was missing, and this person also had the biggest open three-pointer since the start of the game. At this time, there were people in front of and behind him within two or three meters. Empty!

Zhu Fangyu caught the ball and stabilized the rhythm.

He doesn't know how to open a zone. He just wants to make a living in the CBA and pick up girls while playing basketball. In the future, when he becomes famous, he might as well open a bar or other ambitions and hobbies. There is a high probability that he will never be able to open a zone in his life. He doesn't. It's so pure, and he doesn't play basketball because he loves it. It's just a job for him.

But this definitely does not affect his solid foundation.

He has always been the most serious about basic training. In his words, if the audience buys tickets to watch the game, we must at least make the ticket price affordable. This is called professional ethics!

The huge open space gave him enough time to stabilize and adjust his rhythm. He looked directly at the basket. At this time, the US team also gave up on defense. They were two or three meters away. They were so defensive... Everyone in the audience watched. He made a solid 3-pointer.

The ball is scored, 62 draws!

Those on the sidelines were still saying, 'The American team played reasonably and steadily', 'Asians' 3-pointers will soon start to be inaccurate, and this unreasonable way of playing can only rely on luck' and so on. The reporters all opened their mouths at this time.

Tied? !

And this ball is different from Rukawa Kaede's speeding 3-pointer just now. This is a super open space created purely by tactical movement. This is proof of the team's strength and cooperation, which is what they call 'reasonable play'!

The situation just now was almost unsolvable.

If Kwame Brown doesn't fill in, then when Lin Dong is about to break through Bosh's defense, he can still score steadily when he gets to the basket. It can only be said that Lin Dong poses too much of a threat to the US team's defense, and this To help the Asians who suddenly came on the scene, it seemed as if each of them had opened their 3-point skill pack...

And it wasn't until the score was tied that the US team finally became a little wary.

After the start of the second half, their offense obviously had no problems, but they didn't expect that in just a minute or two, the opponent had already wiped out the 6-point difference.

"TJ, give me one!"

Anthony is asking for the ball. He is definitely the angriest person in the US team at this time, even angrier than Kwame Brown who missed the ball just now.

He was obviously on the right side just now. If he hadn't been running around chasing the rookie who obviously knew nothing, he would have had the opportunity to defend Zhu Fangyu's 3-pointer.

Damn it... I was too lazy to follow him the first time, but he ran into the right position and stole Kwame Brown's ball. But just now I chose to follow him and ran blindly, but I happened to encounter this bad thing.

Anthony was so angry.

He felt that this red-haired man was here to mess with his mentality! He was going to dunk a ball on this guy's head and knock the red hair away!

At this time, holding the ball in his hand and standing at the top of the three-point arc on the left side of the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi's body was slightly sideways to the right, half a step away from him, and he was obviously guarding him from shooting a 3-pointer like the rest of the Asian team. Points also block his breakthrough to the basket.

Guard against the right? Then push to the left!

Anthony was getting angry. The moment he held the ball, he only used his back to feel Sakuragi Hanamichi's defensive focus. At this time, he suddenly turned around and broke through to the left.

But next second...

Snapped!

A big hand stretched out from nowhere and knocked his ball away.

Anthony was stunned.

Lin Dong was at least 1 meter away from him at this time, and the rest of the international team were further apart. This is...

"Wahahahaha!" Sakuragi Hanamichi had already rushed out two steps at this time, grabbed the ball on the ground in his hand, and then rushed forward with the ball without hesitation, laughing proudly and excitedly. His face was full of emotion: "Brother Gao Ren's true biography, Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara!"

"Haha, well done Sakuragi!" Zhu Fangyuye laughed.

"Not bad!" Lin Dong encouraged with a smile, and the members of the international team on the sidelines jumped up one by one waving towels.

MD, this is the first steal for the international team other than Lin Dong! You must know that the international team was completely riddled with holes on the defensive end by the American team. This is much more encouraging than scoring 3 points!

Anthony was confused for a moment, and then he felt bad all over.

I... was intercepted by that idiot who didn't even know how to move? !
