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

Chapter 255 The node of balance

Team USA has the ball.

Everyone could see the fire burning on Wade's face at this time. TJ Ford would not destroy the beauty of adulthood.

After passing the midfield with the ball, he pulled Zhang Qingpeng to the left and quickly distributed the ball. The ball went to Wade.

Wade holds the ball with both hands and protects it on his right side.

The moment he caught the ball, he made a feint. He pushed his right leg back slightly and raised his hands upward.

Lin Dong had been staring at the movements of his right leg and took a step back, but then a smile appeared on Wade's face.

If it weren't for Lin Dong, Wade felt that he might not be able to discover his subconscious tricks and loopholes for another year or two, but now, the loopholes will become his weapons!

Wade jumped up slightly without hesitation. The movement behind the pad of his right foot was indeed very awkward for shooting, making it difficult for him to jump high and unable to reach the highest shooting point. The rhythm of his shooting was also completely different from usual.

But after deceiving Lin Dong, the price was worth it.

But before Wade could stand up close, Lin Dong rushed out and got stuck at the point where Wade was moving forward and his center of gravity was too late to move immediately. His body was low, his center of gravity was pressed down, and he made an extremely fast breakthrough from the left!

The U.S. team instantly switched defenses with three players, showing great understanding.

In terms of speed, the two of them are about equal at this time, but in terms of rhythm, the attacker always dominates the rhythm!

As expected of The Flash...

Just hold back a little and leave a little energy to open the zone in the fourth quarter!

Dragon Kingdom’s possession of the ball.

At this time, Wade's attention was all on the basket in front, ignoring Lin Dong who was already a step too late to rush to cover, and shot a 3-pointer.

Lin Dong was already one and a half steps away, and there was no room for blocking the ball.

Small movements like Wade's foot-stepping when making fake movements are usually a process that requires a professional trainer to discover and slowly adjust for you to correct, but this guy only used it three times on the court and suffered a loss. He discovered and corrected himself, and even used this action to set a trap to trick himself.

Perkins was still thinking about blocking Lin Dong's emergency jumper, but he saw that the opponent rushed towards him without slowing down at all.

Perkins, who was guarding the front, came up immediately. Although his steps were not agile enough, some of the centers under the basket had very solid skills. In just a moment, he was already standing directly in front of the basket with his hands open. , assuming a defensive posture, and Bosh, who was not far away, immediately changed defense to intercept Tang Zhengdong's reception for Perkins. Wade, who was a step behind, caught up and was 'thrown away' by Bosh. of Moco.

So fast!

At this time, Lin Dong only had Wade in his eyes. He held the ball steadily and brought it across the center line. Wade went up to him. Looking at the fierce posture when he came up, it was clear that he was pressing closely again.

This is to block Lin Dong's fast break. With Perkins' already fixed position, Lin Dong, who is rushing over, will definitely hit someone with the ball. And with the two defense changes completed in an instant, Lin Dong If he wanted to pass the ball, there was nowhere to pass it. He would either stop and look for another chance, or he would make a pull-up jump shot.

Feeling the provocation from Wade on the opposite side, Lin Dong also got a little excited.

Lin Dong laughed dumbly.

His reaction was already extremely fast, but since Lin Dong took the first step, it was impossible to completely block it. Lin Dong cut into the defensive position with just one step.

Swish!

The ball goes in!

When Wade retreated, he raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Dong with a slight downward gaze, his provocation was beyond words.

Wade's pupils shrank, the opponent's control of the rhythm was really good.

45: 33!

At this time, one was rushing forward and the other was moving sideways. The latter naturally couldn't keep up. He only barely followed three or four steps before Lin Dong accelerated and rushed past.

Perkins' pupils shrank suddenly.

Lin Dong's super speed and momentum with no intention of evading made Perkins feel that what was rushing from directly in front was not a person, but a bullet that was full of lethality and could kill him!

Anyone facing such an attack will have a sense of self-protection in an instant...

At the same time that Perkins's face changed sharply, he subconsciously closed his open arms to protect his body. He subconsciously shrank his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and tightened his whole body, preparing to withstand the terrifying attack from the opponent. Collide.

But next second...

call!

Perkins, who had his eyes closed tightly, his neck curled up, and his chest tightened, felt a big hand press on his shoulder, and then a hurricane flew over his head!

Immediately afterwards there was a huge earthquake and shaking sound from the basket behind him.

boom!

The score on the electronic scoreboard jumped slightly.

47: 33!

The American players on the court were stunned, and countless fans in the entire stadium had their mouths wide open.

Perkins, who was shrinking his neck, turned his head in shock and looked at the basket behind him. He saw Lin Dong letting go of his hand grabbing the frame and jumping down from the basket lightly.

The on-site commentator was mute for a while. He opened his mouth wide and looked dumbfounded, forgetting what to say.

Not to mention his temporary team, even Director Sun, the CCTV commentator in Longguo, was in a somewhat sluggish state at this time.

Oh my god...

Button!

It flew directly over a 208cm center and flew over his head for a dunk!

How often have you seen such a scene in the Dragon Kingdom? Let alone the Dragon Kingdom, it is rare even in the NBA.

Although the center shrank his neck in fear, and although Lin Dong put his arm on the opponent's shoulder to use force, it was like a vault... But after all, this was a dunk against a 208 cm big center.

The extreme stretch of Lin Dong's body at that moment, the height of his leap at that moment, and his posture as if a man descended from heaven and reigned over the world, were simply invincible. There has never been such a dunking player in the Dragon Kingdom, not to mention the National Youth League, nor in the entire history of the CBA or the national team!

Director Sun's lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time. If the director hadn't urged him one after another, he might have been shocked for another two or three minutes!

"Ah, ah..." CCTV's famous mouthman stuttered for a rare time, and then quickly organized his words: "This is the power from the Dragon Kingdom, this is the cry from the basketball players of the Dragon Kingdom, let the whole world see it The new East, I would like to call it China Power, the absolute breakthrough of the century!"

The arena finally came to a boil after a brief period of tranquility.

"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!"

The shouts were endless, and the climax came one after another, which made the old man feel a little incredible. Do these Japanese people like their eldest grandson so much? This... is disgusting, I don't want you to like it!

However, my precious grandson jumped really high just now.

The noise outside the court has faded away, but the battle inside the court continues non-stop.

Perkins, who was dunked, had a look of shame and anger on his face, and other teammates were also furious.

Lin Dong retreated to the top of the 3-point arc, and this time he was really excited.

A good shot can not only ignite the passion of the audience, but also the players themselves.

"Come on! Boy!" Lin Dongchong clapped his hands fiercely to Wade and roared loudly: "Fight with me to the end!"

Wade licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes sparkling.

"on!"

At the 3-point line, Wade was holding the ball and playing singles. The moment his legs slightly bent, Lin Dong thought of the deception just now. After a slight hesitation, Wade had already stood up again. The small movements on his legs not only did not become a loophole for him, Instead, it really became a weapon he used to confuse Lin Dong.

Pitch release.

The ball goes in.

47: 37!

Lin Dong turned around and held the ball. Wade learned the lesson he had just received and did not dare to get too close at the first time. As a result, Lin Dong pulled him up three steps outside the three-point line.

The ball goes in again!

50: 37!

The United States had the ball, and Wade's fake moves were of no use this time. He was shaken by this guy twice. Lin Dong already understood that the 'strategy' of observing the opponent's legs was useless, and it was Payton's real pass. Death coil.

Wade held the ball and rushed forward, unable to break through Lin Dong's defense, but he also rushed into the penalty area with the ball. At this time, he firmly grabbed Lin Dong's defense, attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and then distributed the ball near the penalty line. of Anthony.

Anthony scored steadily with a mid-range jumper.

50: 39.

Lin Dong, who turned around, continued to hold the ball and beat Wade. After attracting a double-team from Perkins, he made a wonderful pass to the basket. Tang Zhengdong caught the ball and jumped up, dunking with both hands.

52: 39.

The offense and defense of both sides are back and forth, the rhythm is extremely fast, and the hit rate is also extremely high.

Often when the commentator is still talking about the excitement of the last goal, the other team's fast break has already been scored, causing the audience in the stadium to scream in surprise.

The score difference between each other always swung between 10 and 13 points. The American team could not narrow the score difference, and the Dragon Kingdom could not widen the score difference. The situation on the court fell into a stalemate.

Such a tug-of-war consumes a lot of physical energy, and it is also a time to test a team's foundation.

After Tang Zhengdong played nearly the entire first half, his physical exertion and Perkins' power to suppress him caused him to frequently lose position under the basket.

Facing Bosh and Anthony, Moko and Wang Lei could hardly do anything on the defensive end. Instead, they could not keep up with Lin Dong's counterattack, which often put Lin Dong in a situation of playing less and playing more on the offensive end.

Coach Jiang took the lead in making frequent substitutions, restarting the combination of Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian in the first quarter, replacing the three infield towers, and supporting Lin Dong with speed and outside firepower.

The U.S. team also responded to the situation and replaced the slow-footed Perkins and TJ Ford, who had played two quarters, and replaced them with Chris Paul and substitute Kirk Hinrich. This was a sign of giving up height. , the five small lineups turned to compete with Long Guo for speed.

By the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 62:51, with Long Guo leading by 11 points.

After a short break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, continuing the rhythm of the second quarter.

Wade, Bosh, and Anthony all scored in double figures, and the three-man offensive lineup made the Dragons almost unstoppable.

However, the attacking lineup led by Lin Dong on the Dragon Kingdom side also gave the American team a headache. They were also unable to defend themselves and exploded with each other.

Not only the players on the field, but also Coach Jiang on the sidelines and Chuck Daly on the opposite side were also in a tense state.

For Chuck Daly, the biggest harm caused by LeBron's two previous fouls was the referee's tightening of the penalties. At the same time, he was also naturally wary of the American team, which made him dare not make the decision at this time. Some of the means arranged for Lin Dong were used.

After all, this is a youth game, not an adult NBA game. What’s more, the score is still within reach for the time being, and there is a faint tendency to catch up.

65:53、72:61、79:70、85:77……

physical strength!

Chuck Daly knew clearly that Lin Dong had not only been controlling the rhythm of the game, but also been causing damage to the American team's inside line. This was a great drain on his physical strength. After entering the second half of the third quarter, Cha Kedaili could clearly feel that Lin Dong's sprinting speed was no longer as fast as before.

Although there was no exhaustion, and although Chuck Daly knew that the kid was deliberately conserving energy for the fourth quarter, this undoubtedly proved that Lin Dong's physical strength was beginning to be in crisis!

And as soon as Lin Dong's rhythm slows down, it's time for the US team to chase points and break this balance!

Chuck Daly firmly believed that until the two sides fought fiercely for 9 minutes in the third quarter, the score was 89:83, and the first node to break the balance finally arrived...
