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

Chapter 224 LeBron Returns

Lin Dong patted him on the shoulder, and then clapped his hands for the first time to encourage the whole team: "Come on, guard against one of them!"

"Defend one! Guard one!"

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

Not only the players on the court, but the substitutes of the international team on the sidelines were also excited. At this moment, it seemed that everyone had forgotten that the purpose of today was to show themselves in front of the scouts during the game.

They all watched the red-haired guy being ignored in the international team, playing the role of a cheerful person who didn't care about anything all day long, and then secretly trying his best to work hard, and finally grew up rapidly in a short period of time, and then Looking at the opportunity he finally looked forward to playing, looking at...

Unknowingly, they had been infected by the red-haired guy and finally focused entirely on the game.

And these infected people also include Yunus.

Frankly speaking, although I don’t understand what this guy is yelling about, the language may be blocked, but the emotions are often relatable...

From the guy's voice, Yunus felt the hard work and grievance, but he also felt the joy and catharsis after trying his best to prove himself, as if he was shouting to his fate!

Yunus closed his mouth and looked a little serious.

I... maybe I really ignored the two Japanese people a little too much before.

At this time, in distant Japan...

Haruko couldn't help covering her mouth in front of the TV, while Akagi next to her secretly wiped her eyes, as if she thought of something, but muttered: "This guy... is still so messy."

The Sakuragi troops who were crowded in Anke Fried Chicken Restaurant to watch the live broadcast had their eyes shining with 'HOHOHO': "Hanamichi is going crazy! Sakuragi, the rebounding king, is the number one rebounder in the United States!"

And in a hotel not far from the Sonics Arena, looking at the pictures on the small TV in the hotel, Coach Anzai's lips trembled slightly.

Sakuragi-san...has just been exposed to basketball for a year.

Yes, on April 4 last year, he had a one-on-one duel with Takenori Akagi in the arena. That was his first contact with basketball.

And on April 4 this year, he was able to stand on the court at the Nike Summit and roar at the world's top basketball players.

Exactly one year!

——The Japanese cannot play basketball well. Coach, you will know if you come to the United States. Here, there is no room for Japanese players to survive, no matter how talented you are, no matter how hard you work! Stop feeding your disciples chicken soup for the soul. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? What we fight in the country is a piece of shit!

Coach Anxi couldn't help but take off his glasses, and then wiped his eyes with a handkerchief tremblingly.

Gu Ze, did you see it?

you are wrong……

………………

In the US team's offense, TJ Ford holds the ball. Although the opponents are still those opponents, it is obvious that TJ Ford feels that the opposite team seems to be a little different from before...

Old K finally stood up from the bench.

That No. 10... can no longer be left alone.

Anthony is not suitable to defend him. Of course, it does not mean that there is anything wrong with Anthony's choice just now, nor does it mean that Anthony cannot deal with him.

The Japanese boy's basic skills are relatively average, but his basketball intuition is excellent and he is very hardworking. He also has this kind of purity towards basketball that even old K admires very much.

Such people will not be knocked down by difficulties, they will become stronger when encountering difficulties.

And Anthony's provocation will only make them more focused and more motivated. With the young man's defensive skills and rebounding awareness, he can continue to grow rapidly in that state, and once he starts to enter A state of super-level performance will create many uncertain factors for the US team.

At this time, the US team had already taken the baseline kick, but Old K ignored it and didn't watch the offense on the court. Instead, he turned to look at LeBron, who was sitting quietly on the side.

Has your chance come?

LeBron suppressed the restlessness in his heart, but looked at Old K with a little bit of expectation that could not be concealed.

"If I let you play, what do you think you should do?" Old K asked calmly while observing his emotional changes.

"Maybe I should strangle that Japanese rookie." LeBron pointed in the direction of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The right choice. It seems that he can at least understand the changes in the situation on the court.

"why?"

"The rest of the Asian team is not very strong and can be targeted by a single blockade, but with Lin Dong dominating everything on the court, and with No. 10 coming to the rescue everywhere, all the shortcomings of their team are eliminated. It has been temporarily covered up. As long as Lin Dong or No. 10 can be cut off from any point of contact with this team, then they will defeat themselves. And..." LeBron said with a smile: "That No. 10 has He is very contagious. If he is eliminated, other people on the other side may also be hit to a certain extent. From this aspect...the value of No. 10 is second only to Lin Dong."

This guy might be able to become a coach in the future, but he will probably be a scheming coach... Old K thought to himself.

"Then how do you plan to deal with that No. 10?"

"It's nothing special. You won't be affected by him. Just follow him as the absolute main force. After all, his foundation is still very poor, and I am very good at dealing with rookies." LeBron said with a smile: "Anthony just can't stand being serious. I just want to deal with a rookie, he thinks it’s worth it, but... I won’t.”

"That's a good answer, but can it be done?" Old K asked with a sneer: "Don't you want to face off against Lin Dong? Don't you want to block No. 11, who has a better touch now? Don't want to show it in front of reporters? "

The jerseys have numbers... 7 European players got the numbers 1-7, Lin Dong No. 8, Zhu Fangyu No. 9, while Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede magically used the numbers they had in Shohoku, No. 10 and number 11.

Old K stared into LeBron's eyes. No matter how smart this guy was, he was only 17 years old. If he lied even a little bit, it would be impossible for him to hide it from Old K's eagle eyes that had seen countless people.

"Of course I do."

LeBron's words surprised Old K slightly. He thought the other party would cover it up.

But then I heard LeBron say: "But I want to win more. If the team loses, then my performance will be meaningless."

"..." Old K finally smiled: "Although it is not an answer that satisfies me, it at least proves that you can still distinguish priorities."

"Go ahead and remember what you have to do. If you forget, then I will let you sit on the bench until the end!" Old K said, and at this time, the American team on the field was also guided by TJ Ford. Next, Wade tore open the International team's defense from the right, scored from mid-range, and regained 2 points.

68:67, Team USA makes a substitution!

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly.

LeBron's appearance was expected by him. Counting the intermission, this guy had been sitting on the court for more than half an hour, but the longer he sat, the calmer he became. Until now, when he came on the court, he had a faint smile on his face. , all gave Lin Dong a different feeling.

Frankly speaking, after the first quarter of the match, Lin Dong already had a very different understanding of this little emperor who would stir up trouble in the NBA in the future.

LeBron's skills are indeed not the best in this American team, and his physical fitness is indeed not the strongest. After all, there is Kwame Brown, who is two years older than him. His speed is not the fastest, and his shooting is not the most stable. Yes, it can be said that Lin Dong was greatly disappointed in terms of strength.

However, this guy's EQ, IQ, and outstanding mentality must be the most outstanding in this American team.

This guy has a trait that no one else in the current U.S. youth team has, and that is leadership ability. He can mentally twist the U.S. team into one, coupled with his unique inside killing ability, This is where LeBron's threat lies.

At the same time, the American team was replaced not by Anthony or Bosh, the two No. 3 and 4 positions that overlap with LeBron, but by TJ Ford.

The reporters outside the court were a little confused and talked a lot, but Lin Dong and Yunus on the sidelines understood what Old K was thinking at a glance.

TJ Ford's height is destined to be a colander on the defensive end.

After all, if playing normally, TJ can still rely on steals and speed to support his defensive scenes, but now the Asian team's three shots are almost all fixed-point shots. If TJ Ford is allowed to guard Pietrus, then it is really just a matter of time. It's just a bet on whether Pietrus' 3-pointer is accurate.

Replacing him is the intention to lock down the Asian team's perimeter.

68:67, the international team has the ball, Lin Dong holds the ball across the center line.

After this substitution, the U.S. team's defenders also changed slightly.

Bosh was still guarding Lin Dong, but Anthony, who was originally guarding Sakuragi Hanamichi, was pulled to the right baseline to guard against Pietrus. At this time, the person targeting Sakuragi Hanamichi was suddenly the chosen one, LeBron James!

Lin Dong knew in his heart that this was to cut off the international team's ability to detect and correct errors...

Lin Dong gave a slight signal to Sakuragi and Pietrus to move to the baseline, further opening up the space, and then broke through towards the basket.

The original intention was to attract help from Wade or Kwame Brown, and then distribute the ball to the outside, but neither of them moved this time.

Do you think you can't play alone?

Lin Dong rushed forward against Bosh's defense, and finally saw the person coming to help defend.

LeBron!

He knows that Sakuragi has no outside line, which can be seen from many of Sakuragi's basic moves. His basic skills are indeed not enough among this group of people.

But... Sakuragi is not completely incapable of attacking!

Lin Dong jumped high, facing LeBron and Bosh who also jumped to defend him and blocked him tightly in front and behind him. Lin Dong passed the ball from behind and passed the ball between them. Sakuragi near the left baseline penalty area.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was in good condition at this time. He was only two steps away from the basket. When he saw Lin Dong being double-teamed, he had already rushed up. At this time, he suddenly jumped up with the ball in his hand.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes flashed with fire.

The true story of the gorilla! Fill...

But the next second, a tall figure jumped up in front of him.

Sakuragi's pupils shrank suddenly.

It was LeBron who took off twice immediately after landing!

Lin Dong's pass was already expected by him.

Most of the time, your prediction will come faster than your reaction.

Lin Dong obviously wanted to save his energy for the fourth quarter, so since he started taking possession of the ball in the first quarter, he tried his best to find opportunities for his teammates throughout the process.

Facing the defense of himself and Bosh, he may still have the ability to force the ball, but he will not choose that way.

Because if the American team realizes that his teammates can be left open, then what will greet him next will be unlimited double-teams!

Therefore, LeBron did not try his best in his first jump. With Bosh who also jumped from the side, the two people's flanking attack, coupled with the natural leakage of red hair after his own defense, was enough to create a situation for Lin Dong. It felt like I had to pass the ball.

This also allows LeBron to land earlier and make his second takeoff faster.

With his physical explosion and bounce, LeBron is confident that no one on the court will be better than him!

Snapped!

The basketball was slapped hard by LeBron and flew straight into the hands of Kwame Brown near the three-point line.

The reporters on the sidelines suddenly became excited.

In the first quarter, LeBron made two consecutive mistakes and was replaced.

At the beginning, reporters may not have any complaints about this. At most, they complained that LeBron was too watery.

But as Anthony, Bosh and others who came to defend Lin Dong were all beaten in front of Lin Dong, they realized that the Asian was too strong.

As a result, reporters will miss LeBron and start complaining about K.

It's a mule or a horse, why don't you let it run around a few more times? After all, he was the chosen one who was blown up by the newspapers. He was waiting for a showdown with that man from the Dragon Kingdom, but you made two mistakes and got benched...

Now, LeBron finally got a chance to play, and as soon as he came on the court, he stopped an attack by the International team, first guarding Lin Dong, and then guarding the redhead who had just performed a series of highlights.

This...this **** is our chosen one!

　The game started at 208. Even if I lose the bet if it reaches 228, the brothers in the group are already shouting to watch my live broadcast, but... there is no chance^^. It only takes two single chapters to defeat LeBron, and then the game There will be an ending that none of you can imagine, hahaha, very soon!

Everyone who sees here are distinguished VIPs, so just join directly. The current activities in the group are mainly to urge updates and occasionally talk about the plot. It is not very active yet.
