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

Chapter 227 Accident on the court

One against four!

The guy first used a pick-and-roll to pass through the defense of Bosh and Wade, and then faced LeBron and Anthony at the same time with a throw ball.

This……

Everyone in the arena, including Old K, who had always been calm before, couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time.

In fact, there was no obvious problem with the choice of everyone on the US team. At least Old K couldn't find too many faults, but the Asian still scored...

Such a critical moment not only tests the players' skills, but also their mentality!

"How about BOSS, am I right?" Payton crossed his legs and sat next to Schultz triumphantly: "This kid is worth any price you pay!"

Schulz was already dumbfounded and his brain was spinning crazily.

Frankly, his basketball knowledge is not particularly professional.

As the CEO of Starbucks, he is better at doing business. Basketball is just his hobby. Buying this team from Boeing is not only about hobbies and hometown feelings, but also because of the After Turn took over, the NBA market in the United States has been rising every year, and he wants to make money from it.

If you want the team to make money, there are no more than three ways.

The easiest thing is of course to win the championship. In an instant, the tide will rise, fans will gather, and the appeal and influence will be greatly improved. Not to mention making peripherals and expanding other business areas, it will make the entire league's money, just selling tickets and Dividends can be counted without mercy!

The second step is to create the player's personal business card and star effect, making him a representative of a city and having a bunch of die-hard fans, which can at least guarantee the basic income of the local city. Payton originally had this condition, but... he looked a bit ugly!

And the third is to recruit international players and use the overseas value of the players themselves to open up markets in other countries. At that time, just going to those countries to sell peripherals or jerseys, or receiving dividends from overseas ratings will be a huge sum. Considerable income.

So in summary, you must have the ability to win the championship, be handsome, and have overseas influence...

Thinking of this, Schulz's lips trembled slightly.

This Lin Dong, he has it all!

Schultz couldn't help but look in the direction of Yang Dong over there.

Just now, that old fox in Cuban gave away a black gold card to the arena early, but as the owner of the SuperSonics Arena, people came to the door, and he didn't even think of going up to it, so he didn't send one in advance... ...Tsk, I really want to slap myself in the face. This guy Cuban’s vision is indeed more vicious than his own.

How about... make up one now?

Although I am close to the water this time, Payton has made a deal with the kid in advance, and the other guy seems to be interested in coming to Seattle for development, but if the opponent is a smart person like Cuban...

What's more, that mother seems to have a lot of energy, and she should have a great influence on her son, but she can't be dismissed as the parent of those rookies who don't understand anything.

Tsk tsk tsk, you have to get your brain online quickly and think more carefully! Oh, and that guy Payton...

Schultz couldn't help but turned to look at Payton.

Payton was stared at inexplicably by him and touched his face: "What happened to my face?"

"How about showing off?" Schulz said: "I told you before...don't care about one season, this is for the person you highly recommend!"

Peyton: "..."

Back to this topic that troubled him again.

... Just talking about showing off, not talking about wages?

I've wanted to mention it for a long time. I'm not saying that it can't be ruined, but you have to be sincere!

If you want to fail, you can take advantage of this summer trading market to reduce your staff in advance and give yourself some rotten fish and shrimps so that you can't win a game even if you try your best. Then the fans will only criticize the trader for having no vision, but not If you scold me for being passive and slow in my work and my skills are declining, maybe you will even appreciate and feel sorry for me as a lone hero...

Then, can't you give the extra salary to me, the person who works the hardest?

It turned out that he was doing well. He could just call me a loser and call me a loser. Then the team happily rebuilt the team with the No. 1 pick, but it was me, the captain who led the team, who had no money. I was scolded. Next season, I will come back with a bad report card. Because of your salary pressure, no one wants to go out to other teams...

Damn it, you took all the good things, I got all the bad reputation, and ended up losing all my personal and financial resources?

There is no sincerity at all, I will make a fool of you!

…………

"The Asian will be the main attacker in the fourth quarter." Based on Lao K's experience, even if you think about it with your buttocks, you want to know Lin Dong's next performance.

That was not just a goal. In Old K's eyes, that guy's concentration, excitement, game state, etc. were all at their peak.

There is a feeling of starting to release, as if in the first three quarters of the game, he was just accumulating energy to prepare for this final wave!

This guy is a goat, the goat of that international team.

Or maybe it’s the goat of all the young players who have challenged the Americans since the Nike Summit!

I thought that this U.S. youth team was already stronger than ever, but I didn't expect that such a monster would appear in the international team.

We can no longer use the loose tactics we had before. Facing such a guy, if we continue to defend him alone, he will kill him alone!

"On the offensive end, dig me into the basket and hit the success rate!"

"...On the outside, Bosh is still guarding Lin Dong alone, and Brown returns to the basket to play positional battles. Except for Lin Dong, everyone else should pay attention to covering up the 3-pointers. If the international team's shooting percentage is given to them, it will be worse. This is our advantage. LeBron moves closer to the inside. The red-haired boy’s offensive ability is limited. He can take two more steps to form a triangle area defense. He can cooperate with Bosh and Brown to double-team Lin Dong at any time..."

Old K quickly drew the tactical route on the tactical board and explained it while spitting.

LeBron next to him was staring at the tactical board, but his mind was a little distracted.

The inside triangle tactic mentioned by Old K is definitely effective. The one-on-four just now was actually just a time difference between the opponent and the use of Zolan's fake pick-and-roll to catch the four of them off guard.

There are no peers in this world who can face him, Kwame Brown, and Bosh one-on-three. Let alone peers, even if Jordan comes, LeBron feels that he can't beat them one-on-three. !

LeBron knows it very well, but...

If you need to attack with Anthony and Bosh to stop Lin Dong, then who do you think you are? Does it count as the Asian background?

So what if we win? Even if he wins, he is just an A in ABCD in the media and newspapers!

Those scouts and reporters who had placed high hopes on him will be greatly disappointed. They will turn all their attention to the Asian. The Asian will be proud of defeat!

The halo of being the Chosen One that I had worked so hard to create would be completely removed by that Asian overnight!

Then he would have to go back to St. Mary's High School and play for another two or three years, then curl up on the small bed in the Walkers' home, and continue to rely on the Walkers' funding to fill his stomach...

No! No! No!

If he had followed the script he designed today, he would have debuted in the draft this year or next year at most with a domineering attitude that would sweep through everything. But now...

The team wins, you lose!

If the team loses, you lose too!

The only way to break the situation is to defeat and defeat the Asian on his own, but the Asian's strength...

LeBron's brows were furrowed. He basically didn't hear a word of the second half of what Old K said.

hum hum...

The noise in the arena made LeBron feel increasingly irritated.

what to do? ! what do I do? !

……beep!

The rest time between single quarters was not long, and both sides returned to the court.

Both sides invariably maintained the lineup at the end of the third quarter.

Yunus originally planned to replace Shaq and Darko Milicic to strengthen the inside lineup, but judging from Lin Dong's current state, what he needs more is his teammates to open up space for him and go to more places. Singles also require teammates to have good speed and be able to quickly switch offense and defense to improve the game rhythm and overall speed in the fourth quarter.

Naturally, the American team is just looking at the side dishes. Even Chandler, the inside gatekeeper, was put on the bench in order to strengthen the overall speed of the team to cope with the current small lineup of the international team. ', and can also use speed to strengthen the flanking attack on Lin Dong.

Last 10 minutes!

Team USA's possession of the ball.

After coming on the field, the American team played very proactively and attacked at a very fast pace. It was obviously a posture of "I am not afraid to attack you."

Wade broke through Zolan's defense with the ball, attracted Lin Dong's defense, and passed the ball to Kwame Brown under the basket.

Zhu Fangyu couldn't resist him. Kwame Brown jumped up and hit a slam dunk, helping the US team regain the lead.

75: 76!

As for the defensive end who turned around, the reporters on the sidelines became excited as soon as the triangle area defense formation was established.

Kwame Brown under the basket, Bosh at the top of the arc, and LeBron wandering near the free throw line are trying to prevent Lin Dong from breaking through.

The previous one-on-four score was certainly exciting, but it was obviously a bit like a magic ball. Now facing the defensive lineup arranged by Old K, it’s so weird that the Asian can still score!

But the fact is, there really is a ghost...

Lin Dong held the ball against Bosh and at the same time, he only made a fierce test to Bosh's right side.

Bosh was really shaken by his sudden attack. As soon as Lin Dong's physical confrontation came over and he felt the rapid shift of his center of gravity, Bosh simply wanted to throw himself in that direction to defend.

An extremely quick step laterally to defend, but the next second he saw Lin Dong take a step back and jump high into the air just a little beyond the 3-point line.

Bosh's consciousness was pulling back, but his maneuverable center of gravity was still moving back along the inertia. His brain and body were instantly out of balance, and he fell to the ground, while the basketball in Lin Dong's hand had already been shot.

The goal was scored, 78:76!

When the American team had the ball, Wade quickly advanced with the ball and passed the ball to Kwame Brown under the basket. According to Kwame Brown's previous rhythm, Zhu Fangyu always had a slam dunk, but this time he actually chose to turn around and shoot.

There is no other reason, Kwame Brown is also tired... He is currently the one who has played the longest time in the US youth team, and he has played against Darko Milicic and the Greek Shark one after another, which has greatly depleted his physical strength. Although Zhu Fangyu has strength, Not as good as him, but he is a new force after all, and since the third quarter, in addition to constantly pulling Kwame Brown to move around and play without the ball, further consuming his energy, even if he knows he is losing at the basket, he has always been strong. The energy was building up, the energy was being consumed, and finally the time came when Kwame Brown ran out of energy.

I'll kill you while you're sick!

Zhu Fangyu continued to engage in physical confrontation. He relied on his physical strength and jumped close to Kwame Brown. Although he failed to block it, it affected his accuracy after all.

Hitting a jump shot, Sakuragi Hanamichi went straight to the basket and jumped high, but another figure rushed faster and jumped higher than him.

LeBron!

In the air, he used the strength of his body to squeeze Sakuragi away and grabbed the ball in his hand.

But the moment he landed, a big hand reached between his hands holding the ball.

LeBron caught sight of LeBron from the corner of his eye, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to avoid it, but the hand cut it too fast and too suddenly. As soon as he had the idea of ​​avoiding it, his big hand had already cut the basketball. .

It's Lin Dong again!

A trace of anger surged in LeBron's heart, but then reason suppressed the anger. Instead, there was a deep fear and despair towards Lin Dong's ubiquitous figure.

That guy is like his nemesis. When he is strong, he steals. When he steals, he is strong, but he always has the upper hand!

Now the reporters on the sidelines are watching, and the scouts on the sidelines are writing... LeBron can even imagine the contents of the scouts' reports: Facing high-intensity games and high-level opponents, there is a lack of Vigilance, lack of ability to lead the team, lack of ability to handle key balls...

I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to win against him today. If I continue like this, I will only be looked at more and more badly by others!

Didn't listen to Old K, gave up helping to defend Lin Dong, and let Old K get angry and replace him? But that would probably make the scouts feel even worse...

what to do? What should I do?

No matter what, let’s get one goal first!

Lin Dong steals the ball and breaks quickly with the ball. At this time, both his physical and mental state are at their peak. Facing Anthony's defense, he directly turns around with one step, and his forward speed does not slow down at all! From the steal in the backcourt to the layup in the frontcourt, including passing someone in the middle, the whole process only took four or five seconds!

The goal was scored, 80:76!

Old K immediately made adjustments. Kwame Brown's physical strength was a bit beyond his expectation, mainly because it was so easy to watch him beat Zhu Fangyu in the third quarter that he didn't even notice that the Asian was actually It is also constantly consuming Kwame Brown.

The US team makes substitutions, Kwame Brown comes off and Chandler comes on.

As soon as the new force Chandler came up, the inside line immediately became much stronger.

LeBron gave the signal and took advantage of Wade's pick-and-roll mismatch to get rid of the difficult Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was about to rush to the basket, but then he saw Lin Dong coming to defend.

LeBron was shocked. With the successive steals, he had really lost the confidence to attack with the ball in front of this guy.

At this time, Anthony on the outside is asking for the ball, but the red-haired man has already covered it, and Chandler is under the basket...

LeBron Fuling was so concerned that he drove the ball straight to the basket before Lin Dong could make up the defense.

Chandler caught the ball under the basket, made a standard back shot, easily pushed away the panting Zhu Fangyu, turned around and dunked.

80: 78!

There were constant cheers from the sidelines, and most of them said that LeBron passed the ball well.

But only LeBron knows in his heart that he was just timid about the shot just now, and Chandler just happened to have a chance...

This time I got through with an assist, but what about next time?

The international team had the ball, and Lin Dong repeated his old trick, taking a step to the left. Bosh was afraid of his step-back shot, so he was too tight on defense. He didn't know what Payton did. The Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara's blocking technique was activated only half a beat later, and Lin Dong rushed past him in one step.

The international team was playing a fast break. At this time, Chandler had not returned to the defensive position, and LeBron rushed in to cover the defense.

He knew that his skills were not as good as his own, so he originally wanted to use his physical strength to make a more subtle and aggressive foul. As long as he could stop Lin Dong once alone, then...

But the next second, what he saw was a figure making a sudden stop for a jumper.

Lin Dong braked too quickly, causing LeBron's reaction to slow down by half a beat. He stood under the basket like a fool at a loss. Bosh, who was catching up from behind, failed to stop the car and hit him head on. Lin Dong's back.

But before his body loses balance, he still throws this mid-range shot steadily.

The hit rate was amazing, the ball was scored, Bosh got a defensive foul and got an extra free throw!

LeBron broke out in a cold sweat on his vest. The opponent had such control over his body and the sudden stop was too fast. He had really lost control just now.

Fortunately, Bosh's foul helped him cover this up, shifting people's attention to the foul and 2+1, so that they ignored LeBron's lack of reaction when facing the ball just now...

This was already the second goal, and his incompetence at that moment was covered up by his own luck.

LeBron knew very well that due to this guy's heroic performance, he was completely out of shape today...

Frankly speaking, LeBron knows that this is not his level, and he also knows that as long as he puts aside his obsession with fame and fortune and is willing to be a green leaf, he may be able to adjust immediately!

But, giving up fame and fortune?

LeBron gritted his teeth. Even if he died, he was unwilling to go back to his old life. If God had to let him choose the same thing, he would rather give up on himself!

Luck can happen once or twice, but not a third time.

It can't go on like this!

As Lin Dong steadily made the free throw, at 83:78, the international team was already 5 points ahead!

Team USA's possession of the ball.

After Chandler's new force came on the court, the US team's advantage in the interior was fully demonstrated.

Wade held the ball to stabilize his position and hit the ball successfully. He cooperated with Anthony in a pick-and-roll and successfully mobilized Lin Dong, who was assisting in defense, and drove the ball straight to the basket.

Zhu Fangyu had really tried his best to consume Kwame Brown before. Now Chandler was no match against the new force. He was forced away again and was beaten in singles.

83: 80.

Yunus also saw Zhu Fangyu's exhaustion, and immediately made a substitution. Darko Milicic, who had been resting for more than a quarter, came on, and Zhu Fangyu came off.

The U.S. team wants to fight positional warfare and success rate, so the international team will naturally respond with a center. Without Kwame Brown, who is more experienced and has significantly stronger confrontation, Chandler will play in the already well-rested Darkomiri. There is no advantage in front of Xiqi.

With Darko Milicic suppressing him at the basket, the triangle defense between Chandler, LeBron and Bosh suddenly seemed a little loose.

Chandler's tonnage and strength are slightly inferior to Darko Milicic's, and his positioning skills are also slightly inferior. At this time, he was stuck behind the opponent, and the triangle defense suddenly seemed to be missing a corner.

Frankly speaking, by this point in the fight, the physical strength of the main players of both teams had already been greatly depleted.

Especially for Bosh, guarding Lin Dong alone is the most difficult and tiring job for the American team in this game. Bosh has already done it for most of the game and is already running out of energy. Facing this current zone all-conference player The Asian Demon King, who was trying his best, was really beginning to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Lin Dong made a strong breakthrough and easily passed Bosh's defense line.

At this time, under the basket, Chandler was restrained by Darko Milicic and forced out of the inner circle, opening up space for Lin Dong. The only one guarding him was LeBron, who came over to defend!

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Dong's mouth, and his forward speed did not slow down at all.

The Chosen One? End you right here!

With the inertia of sprinting, Lin Dong and the ball merged into one. One step beyond the free throw line, he suddenly jumped high with the ball. He wanted to dunk LeBron!

Under normal circumstances, he may not be able to do this. LeBron's strength is there, and his physical fitness is stronger than himself.

But it's different now. Starting from the previous two goals, Lin Dong has been able to see the fear and fear of himself in the eyes of the opponent. That fear may be diversified and complex, including many things outside the court. factors, but no matter what, fear is fear!

The opponent has lost his spirit. Just one dunk against him can completely destroy his will and give the American team the heaviest blow!

But at this moment, Lin Dongcai suddenly and surprisingly discovered that LeBron's complex eyes when he faced him had disappeared, replaced by a kind of calmness and depth.

Zone?

Lin Dong was a little surprised, but it didn't seem like it.

In a flash of thought, LeBron in front of him also jumped up to meet him.

The other party actually still had the courage to face him... Lin Dong was a little surprised.

But now that the arrow is on the line, Lin Dong clears his mind of distracting thoughts.

If you don't even have the confidence to win, then the dunk will definitely fail.

He was facing the ball frame head-on and had the inertia of sprinting and leaping, but the opponent only jumped from the left side to block.

And with his own jumping height, even if LeBron's own strength is higher than his own, he must win this shot!

He can't stop the ball!

next second...

boom!

There was a loud noise, and the two figures collided hard.

A flash of anger suddenly flashed in Lin Dong's heart. He rarely gets angry on the court... His judgment was correct. LeBron couldn't stop the ball when he jumped from the diagonal, but that guy didn't come for the ball!

The movements of his hands and legs were very subtle, but at this moment, LeBron's elbow and knee joints hit Lin Dong hard.

The ball that was destined to be won was dashed away, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Yang Dong on the sidelines exclaimed and stood up suddenly.

Not only him, but Schultz, Payton, Cuban, Wang Zhizhi, Nash, Nowitzki and others also stood up subconsciously.

The collision just now seemed too tragic. The two people landed not at the original place where the collision occurred, but at least tilted away by more than one meter during the fall, which is enough to imagine the intensity of the collision.

Snapped!

Lin Dong's knees hit the ground, and he felt a sharp pain all over his body. He was suddenly forced out of the zone.

"Hold!"

Lin Dong was lying on the ground hugging his knees and couldn't help but cursed. He was so angry that he couldn't be more angry.

When he landed just now, his knees hit the ground first, and coupled with the sudden severe pain all over his body, judging from his experience, this was definitely a serious injury!

I really never expected that the basketball emperor who would be compared to Jordan in later generations would move so much, and he was obviously not rushing the ball!

He turned his head angrily and looked over there, only to see LeBron falling to the ground like him, with his eyes tightly closed and a look of pain on his face, holding his knees with his hands.

LeBron's painful expression made Lin Dong slightly startled.

I feel like I'm injured more... Wait!

Lin Dong tried to prop up his body, but found that his knees did not hurt as much as he imagined. He looked down and stretched out his hands.

Only then did I realize that the knee that felt like it was going to break was actually intact, and that McDavid's original knee pad, which was brand new, actually had a crack in the middle...

The severe pain all over the body was caused by being forcibly frightened out of the zone state, so that the body's perception of fatigue and pain expanded several times in an instant.

He was not injured, although after falling out of the zone, the outcome of this game may be unpredictable; although this disposable McDavid first-generation knee pad looks like it has been reimbursed... But at least, he is still healthy. Yes, this is the most fortunate thing after everything that happened just now.

But LeBron over there...

At this time, people on both sides of the team, including reporters and scouts, were shocked.

The referee blew the whistle and immediately paused the game, allowing the team doctor to come on the court.

As a result, before the team doctor came on the scene, Lin Dong stood up on his own, as if nothing happened. Yang Dong in the stands breathed a sigh of relief, but LeBron didn't look so relaxed. …

He was holding his knees in pain and sweating profusely. When the team doctor forced his hands open, he saw a bright red patch on his knees, which made some reporters who poked their heads in the air gasp.

But the team doctor's expression was a little strange. He stretched out his hand and pressed left and right on LeBron's knee, and then asked LeBron how he felt.

"It hurts!" LeBron held his hand tightly, with sweat on his head and a pleading look in his eyes: "Robert, can I stand up again? I don't want to leave my beloved stadium... "

The sincere voice and the tears in his eyes made people cry. Old K on the sidelines couldn't help but be moved by it. After all, the Nike Summit is considered an official game. According to regulations, coaches cannot enter the stadium casually, so even if He was a little moved, but he could only watch from the sidelines.

But the reporters couldn't help but write furiously.

The team doctor was slightly startled.

Frankly, as far as he's concerned, LeBron's knee is fine.

The red mark was made by him with his own hands just now. It was a handprint!

But...Robert?

That's a name that only a few of the team doctor's better friends would call.

He is a Portland native, a doctor at Nike headquarters, and a VIP member of the famous Argentinian Girls Club in Portland. Of course, with his status, he was able to get that membership card because of that day While playing in the club, I happened to meet LeBron and his friends going there too...

Looking at LeBron's begging and tearful eyes, the team doctor understood. He asked the staff on the sidelines to bring a stretcher, and when he carried LeBron up, he carefully covered LeBron's head with a towel. on the knees.

He held LeBron's hand and answered him in a voice that even the reporters on the sidelines could hear: "Don't worry, it's just a sprain. The departure is only temporary. I guarantee that you will be able to return to your beloved court in a month at most!"

　There is still the end of a chapter. I will try to finish the update in the morning. Damn... I said I was asking for leave, but I found out that I have updated 1 since I got up yesterday... I still have to catch up on one more chapter. I am so diligent.
