Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 122 It's an honor to be defeated
"Friends from the audience, hello everyone, welcome to continue to watch the men's basketball match of the London Olympics broadcasted by ccav for you. This game is the semi-final between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team. In the first half of the game, the Chinese team fell behind the Brazilian team Six points." The host said, "Okay, now the third quarter has officially started. The Brazilian team attacked first, and Marcelo Herstad broke through to attract the defense and then passed the basketball to Diego Spur Lite. Diego Splitter singles Yi Jian...a turnaround shot...beautiful! Yi Jianlian sent a beautiful block at the beginning of the second half!"

Lin Fengzhe and Wang Shipeng first pulled Andro Barbosa to grab the basketball in one step, and after two dribbles, he passed it to Lin Fengzhe who was about to go down.Lin Fengzhe made an emergency stop outside the three-point line in the front court. Ribeiro Garcia and Marcelo Herstad, who were chasing after him, ran past and entered the three-point line. They wanted to turn around and come back to organize Lin Fengzhe. Shooting is no longer realistic, I can only watch Lin Fengzhe hit a three-point jumper.

"Shua!" The three-pointer was hit hollow, and the Chinese team was still three points behind the Brazilian team, with a score of 38 to 41.But I really want to thank the Brazilian team for not having a high shooting percentage in the first half of the game, and not digging too much for the Chinese team. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort for the Chinese team to catch up with the score.

Anderson Varejao mentioned the high post to set a screen for Marcelo Herstad, then cut to the basket from the middle, and Marcelo Herstad's pass arrived immediately.Just when Anderson Varejao was about to turn around and shoot for a dunk, a hand stretched out, cut off the basketball in Anderson Varejao's hand with one palm, and then took a step forward to pick up the basketball and drop it quickly.

Sun Yue, who successfully made the steal, rushed forward with his maximum speed. He turned his head and looked at it. The player of the Brazilian team was still some distance away from him. After entering the paint area, he raised it high. After a short gliding, Score with one hand.The Chinese team started the second half with a 5-0 start, narrowing the point difference to only one point.

Leandro Barbosa stretched out his hand and took Wang Shipeng from the left side of the court to the top of the three-point arc. He jumped high and made a shot. The basketball bounced off the backboard and went into the basket. four points.

Lin Fengzhe dropped the basketball to Li Yifeng.Li Yifeng singles Anderson Varejao.Li Yifeng kept hitting Anderson Varejao's body with his back.Anderson Varejao felt like he was being hit by a truck.Li Yifeng felt that the position was almost there, and once again pushed away Anderson Varejao, turned around and scored a one-handed dunk.

But at 28 minutes and [-] seconds into the game, Lin Fengzhe took off and shot after shaking Marcelo Herstad with a fake move. After a gesture, he pushed the basketball out softly, as if sending off his lover.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded. "Shua!" The basketball plunged into the hoop.The three-point goal was valid, and an additional penalty was added. Lin Fengzhe also scored an additional penalty and scored four points successfully.At this time, the Chinese team has already led the Brazilian team by six points.This period of time was completely the performance time of Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe. One of the two played hard from the inside and the other fired from the outside, allowing the Chinese team to regain the advantage in the game.

The performance of Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe stimulated the other players of the Chinese team, and the attention of the others gradually returned to the game. The Chinese team's next offense and defense suddenly became much smoother, and the score gap It was gradually stretched to eight points.

In the last 14 seconds of the third quarter, Marcelo Herstad passed the ball to Leandro Barbosa in Brazil's possession.After Diego Split screened for Leandro Barbosa and blocked Sun Yue, Leonard Barbosa made a strong jumper.

This is a person jumping up from the side, and with a palm, the shot that Leandro Barbosai has already shot is flying away, but it is Yi Jianlian who comes from the side and blocks Leandro Barbosai's shot.The basketball just came in front of Wang Shipeng. Wang Shipeng was stunned for a moment and immediately dribbled forward and rushed forward, trying to seize the last time to hit the buzzer.Just after halftime, I saw that the timer above the backboard in front of me showed that it had been less than two seconds. I immediately took two steps forward and threw the basketball out.

At this time, the audience's attention was focused on the basketball that was still flying in the air.The basketball bounced off the backboard and bounced back and forth a few times into the basket, as if it would pop out at any time, but in the end it was unwilling to click into the basket.Wang Shipeng successfully hit the buzzer three-point shot, and the Chinese team also expanded the score advantage to eleven points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team let the substitute players go up to play for 4 minutes. This time the substitute players performed far better than in the first half. They withstood the counterattack pressure of the opponent. The Chinese team still leads Brazil by six points.

After getting a full rest, the starting players played, without giving the Brazilian team any chance, they directly played a 12-3 offensive climax, widening the score gap to 97 points.When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 86 to [-]. The Chinese team made great efforts in the second half and defeated the Brazilian team by [-] points. In the middle of the game, they played against the powerful American team-Dream Ten.

"What we lack is not strength, but the heart to move forward, just like the most popular saying in the NBA - 'Don't ignore the heart of a championship', the Chinese team is not much weaker than those strong teams in terms of strength , what they lack is the heart to win. They regard this kind of competition as a task, as long as the expected goal is achieved. But I, Li Yifeng, and Yao Ming told them with actions how to view competitive sports correctly .”—From "My Basketball Career", author Lin Fengzhe.

The men's basketball game on the second day began with the bronze medal match between the Russian team and the Brazilian team. Both teams played at their highest level. The game was not decided until the second half of the fourth quarter. Relying on his strong defense, he finally defeated Brazil 92 to 85 and won the bronze medal. Brazil could only rank fourth.

What follows is the gold medal battle between the Chinese team and the US team.

"Lin, I won't be soft on you, you have to be careful." Kobe Bryant said to Lin Fengzhe.

"Oh, cute little mamba, are you scared, are you now begging me to release water on you?" Lin Fengzhe asked Kobe Bryant sideways with his eyes.

"Damn it! You bastard, I won't make it easy for you!" Kobe Bryant dropped a sentence viciously and turned back to his halftime warm-up.Lin Fengzhe can always easily ignite Kobe Bryant's anger.

The first offense of the Chinese team was handed over to Li Yifeng to hit an inside hook shot.Team USA's first offense went to Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant took the initiative to approach Lin Fengzhe with a dribble, "Boy, I want to let you know the price of arrogance!" At the distance, Kobe Bryant turned over and swayed, and then shot a large backward jumper. Although Lin Fengzhe had stretched his arm to block Kobe Bryant's shot, but for Kobe Bryant deliberately A ball that increases the height of the shot is also powerless.Hearing the crisp sound of "shua" coming from behind, Lin Fengzhe shook his head helplessly.

"Boy, this is the beginning!" Kobe Bryant said viciously.Of course, Kobe Bryant is just talking about it. After all, he is now in the national team instead of the Lakers. Except for the "monogram" Davis, everyone else is the top star in the league. It is impossible to let him alone Take all the ball.

The highlight of this game is the head-to-head contest between Lin Fengzhe and Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and other front-line players of the American team, and Li Yifeng's various offenses at the basket are the most shining.At the end of the half, the Chinese team was clinging to the score, 48 to 52, only four points behind the US team.

In the third quarter of the game, when Lin Fengzhe turned on the individual mode and broke out strongly, the Chinese team even tied the score and overtook the US team by five points.However, this advantage did not last long, and was wiped out by the powerful US team and then surpassed.

In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team encountered a physical crisis, and the second team could hardly compete with the US team.As the saying goes, "Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a good man can't hold back against a large number of people." Even if Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe played the fourth quarter, they still couldn't resist the US team.In the end, the Chinese team lost to the US team by 92 points, 103 to [-], and won the runner-up in the men's basketball event.

Although the Chinese team eventually lost to the US team, the domestic fans are already very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team. This is the first time that the Chinese team has won the group stage in the Olympic Games and the first time it has successfully entered the semi-finals , Successfully entered the semi-finals for the first time, which is enough to make many domestic fans happy.

The strength of the US team is well known, and the Chinese team is proud enough to be able to entangle the US team for more than three quarters.And through this trip to the Olympics, the domestic fans' pursuit of Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe has reached a new level.In the post-match interviews, the old men of the national team, such as Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, all shed tears. For some of them, this may be the last time they participated in the Olympic Games. It's a good ending.

At the awards ceremony, Yao Ming and others wept again. Although the national anthem of China was not played, it was the national anthem of China that rang in their hearts.

On the second day, the domestic sports news borrowed a news picture from the media. On it was a picture of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi crying on the podium. The text on the picture read "the best gift for a veteran"...
