NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 45 Dirty moves, chaos on the field
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team entered the second half with a four-point lead of 52:48.

“I feel this match is pretty stable.”

After Guo Ailun finished eating the banana, he shot the banana peel and it hung on the side of the trash can.

“Pay attention to hygiene.”

Lin Chuan walked over and threw a handful of banana peels in.

"The game isn't over yet, and you're so confident with only half left?"

Guo Ailun laughed, jumped up from his chair and punched Lin Chuan in the chest.

"You are here, right? If you put in a little more effort, you can defeat the opponent."

Lin Chuan spread his hands and looked at Yi Jianlian, the new big brother of the team.

Yi Jianlian shook his head helplessly. He couldn't care what other people thought. At least it was enough that Guo Ailun tried his best on the court.

Deng Huade severely reprimanded Guo Ailun,

"Your idea is wrong. How can you always count on the team's big shot? If Lin Chuan doesn't play anymore, will you surrender?"

After being criticized by the coach, Guo Ailun stopped laughing and lowered his head, fiddling with his phone in his hand.

Lin Chuan was still worried that Deng Huade might be really angry, but as soon as they looked at each other, he saw Deng Huade winking at him, and his worries were finally put to rest.

Wow, this coach with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also a guy who knows how to do things.

The second half of the game started, and as usual, the substitutes went on first.

The Chinese team made minor adjustments to their lineup, replacing Ding Jinhui and Yi Li and continuing the game.

The Australian team took the lead at the beginning of the second half. They used a screen to run away from the point guard, and Mills received the ball and made a three-pointer.

Chen Jianghua dribbled the ball across half court, and Sun Yue stepped forward to screen and shoot from outside.

After Chen Jianghua broke through with his low body, he immediately passed the ball to Sun Yue with great force.

Sun Yue shook off the defense, released the ball and broke through quickly, carrying the defense to the free throw line, and Sun Yue threw the basketball high into the air.

Ding Jinhui raised his hands high to catch the ball and score.

"Good news!"

Deng Huade shouted encouragement from the sidelines.

When it comes to the Australian team, the playing style is much simpler.

The small forward received the pass from the point guard, broke through the inside and made a layup against Yi Li.

The two sides fought back and forth, and Lin Chuan was happy to take a break. As long as he maintained this state, he would not be in a hurry to be sent into the court.

Only Deng Huade was left around, giving loud commands.

After seeing the Australian team make mistakes, Yi Li grabbed the rebound, but did not dare to launch a fast break and just passed it to Chen Jianghua.

After missing the fast break opportunity, they had to settle down and fight a positional battle.

Deng Huade was very dissatisfied.

The good fast break opportunity was gone, and the ball was not scored.

"Lin Chuan, you guys will come up later."

Lin Chuan, who was sitting comfortably on the bench, was a little dazed. He only reacted when he heard Deng Huade's substitution order. He took a look and saw that the second quarter had played for more than five minutes, so the time was about the same.

"Okay, let me connect with my teammates!"

Lin Chuan stood up, took off his training suit, and stretched his muscles.

Seeing Lin Chuan stand up again, many sharp-eyed fans began to cheer.

Taking advantage of the free throw opportunity, Deng Huade replaced Ding Jinhui and Yi Li with Lin Chuan and Guo Ailun.

The lineup suddenly became smaller.

Although they are small, the flexibility of the entire team, except for the fat Lin Chuan himself, has been greatly improved.

After defending the Australian attack, Lin Chuan grabbed the rebound and his four teammates were already running forward.

At this time, Australia had only three players crossing the half court.

Lin Chuan took a look and threw the ball to Sun Yue, the only person who was not defending and who was already in position in the bottom corner.

Sun Yue received the ball and shot, making another three-pointer.

Lin Chuan once again performed a standard fast break initiated by the center to the whole audience.

Grab the rebound, throw it forward, and your teammates will score. After Lin Chuan once again ravaged the Australian team's substitute inside line and caused a foul, the Australian team finally replaced the main players.

The score on the field has become 75:60.
While standing at the free throw line, Lin Chuan also saw the Australian head coach whispering something to Bogut.

Lin Chuan became alert instantly.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Chuan squinting at the Australian team's bench, Zhu Fangyu walked up and asked.

"Nothing, I hope I'm overthinking it, but be careful next time you play, we can't rule out the possibility that they might resort to some tricks."

Lin Chuan covered his mouth with his hands and replied to Zhu Fangyu in a low voice.

Hearing Lin Chuan say this, Zhu Fangyu also followed his gaze and noticed Bogut's direction.

"Then we can only see who is tougher."

After making both free throws, several players retreated to defend, and Zhu Fangyu also conveyed Lin Chuan's guess to everyone on the court.

Everyone was on high alert, guarding against possible means.

The Australian team simply played a tactic, running out of the open space and passing the ball to Bogut who made a layup.

On the Chinese team's side, Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Lin Chuan stepped forward to cover while Yi Jianlian quickly ran to the other side.

"Be good at defense!!!"

The Australian head coach on the sidelines shouted at several people, and Bogut quickly ran towards Yi Jianlian who was in the open space.

Yi Jianlian received the ball and jumped up to shoot, but half of his attention was on Bogut in front of him.

Bogut's pounce was very fierce this time, and his whole body almost crashed into Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian glanced at the soles of his feet when he fell.

Sure enough, Bogut's big foot hit Yi Jianlian's landing point!

"Grass!"

Yi Jianlian cursed inwardly and landed with his legs apart, but was still hit by Bogut who pounced on him and fell straight to the ground.

Boom!
He was knocked down from a height and hit the ground with a dull thud.

"Fuck, how do you play basketball!"

When the referee blew the whistle, Zhu Fangyu immediately rushed up and pushed Bogut away, and the players also rushed up to check on Yi Jianlian's situation.

"Grass……"

Yi Jianlian lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

what happened!

Lin Chuan was stunned. He had just told everyone that the other party might resort to trickery.

Yi Jianlian covered his waist in pain.
"I... I just saw him trying to stand on tiptoe, and all his attention was on his feet. I didn't expect him to bump into me."

"Fuck, these bastards! I'm going to kill him!"

Seeing Yi Jianlian in so much pain, Zhu Fangyu's eyes turned red with anger, and he was about to rush up to avenge Yi Jianlian.

Lin Chuan and Wang Shipeng quickly stopped Zhu Fangyu.
"Fighting in the Olympics, you're crazy!"

Seeing the aggressive Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng was frightened and quickly hugged him to prevent him from moving forward.

Bogut saw the situation on the Chinese team and spread his hands in an innocent manner.
"I didn't mean to do that. I just rushed in too hard by accident."

Although Bogut was so shameless, the referee only called a foul on him and gave the Chinese team two free throws and one.

Yi Jianlian was carried out on a stretcher by the team doctor to check his injuries.

The audience present were all worried when they saw his painful expression.

The whole audience booed.

There were also a lot of shouting and cursing coming from the audience.

But it was soon stopped.

At the Olympics, image is very important.

After Lin Chuan finished his free throw, he returned to the center line to prepare for his serve.

His eyes were fixed on Bogut.

Anyone who dares to mess with us will pay the price!
