Legendary basketball manager

On August 8th, Beijing time, the fourth match day of the group stage arrived as scheduled.

China's opponent is the Brazilian team, while the United States' opponent is the Lithuanian team.

The first match was between China and Brazil.

The Huaxia team, which had won three consecutive victories before, continued to advance in this game.

In this game, Yao Ming played a dominant performance.

Facing Brazilian center Nene Hilario, known as the elephant, Yao Ming made 5 of 5 shots in the first quarter and scored 10 points.

In the second quarter, Dayao continued to show off.

Not only does he continue to get whatever he wants inside, but he also has excellent shooting performance outside the three-point line!

After halftime, Yao Ming scored 22 points alone!

This score may not be scary.

But what is scary is that Yao Ming still maintains a 100% hit rate so far!

Under his leadership, the Huaxia team established a double-digit lead at halftime.

In the second half of the game, Mark Jackson specially arranged Yao Ming's offensive tactics.

Dayao strikes while the iron is hot, and continues to slash and kill inside!

The Brazilian team had no choice but to double-team Yao Ming.

As soon as Dayao received the ball, a second Brazilian player would step forward to defend Yao Ming with Nene!

This kind of defensive strategy did curb Dayao's performance, but it also gave other Huaxia players the chance to shoot easily.

In the third quarter alone, Sun Yue took 5 shots from beyond the three-point line and hit 3 of them.

The United Arab Emirates also scored two.

Huaxia bloomed more points and achieved a 33-point lead at the end of the third quarter!

The fourth quarter was once again garbage time...

............

A day later, the United States faced a challenge from Lithuania.

Lithuania, as a traditional powerhouse in Europe, has always been an object that all teams are reluctant to play against in the international arena.

Although they don't have many stars on the books, the team has strict discipline, high tactical quality, and the players are very united.

Even the U.S. team did not dare to take it lightly when facing Lithuania!

And today, Lithuania scared the Dream Ten team into a cold sweat...

Before the game, Kobe accidentally sprained his ankle during training, so he did not start the game.

In the first quarter of the game, Anthony continued the fiery touch of the previous game, scoring consecutively,

But Lithuania's small forward, Linus Kleiza, who played for the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, stood up.

He shot from inside and outside, scoring 13 points alone, helping Lithuania to bite the score!

In the second quarter, Kobe played with an injury and used defense to drive the team, giving the US team a double-digit lead.

But after Kobe took a break, the situation of the game changed suddenly.

Lithuania took advantage of the US team's weakness inside and scored consecutively at the basket, narrowing the gap with the US.

At halftime, the United States only led 55-51.

At the beginning of the second half, Lithuania scored 5 points in a row and directly overtook the score!

At the critical moment, Curry stepped forward and scored consecutively to help the United States regain its advantage.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lithuania launched a counterattack again.

They succeeded one after another in the offense and overtook the score 82-80!

Fortunately, after the offensive and defensive transition, Durant immediately responded with a stick single.

Afterwards, Curry first made a super long 3-pointer, and then made a high rebound in the fast break, leading the United States to a 17-6 scoring climax and reopening the gap!

In the end, the US team won 99-94 and passed through danger!

In the fifth game two days later, China beat the British team lightly, and the United States did not dare to be careless, and did their best to beat the Argentine team.

At this point, the group stage is officially over.

The Huaxia team and the US team both achieved a record of complete victories, ranking first in Group AB!

The subsequent quarter-finals and semi-finals were also uneventful.

The victories of the Huaxia team and the US team are unique.

The two teams passed the test separately and finally met in the final!

............

On August 8th, Beijing time, the much-anticipated Olympic Men's Basketball Finals will come as scheduled!

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

"Hi, everyone, and welcome to the broadcast of the Olympic Games brought to you by CCTV-5."

"I'm Zhang Weiping!"

"I'm Yu Jia."

In the broadcast room, two commentators started.

"What I bring to you today is the last and most critical game of the men's basketball competition in this Olympic Games - the finals. The two teams facing each other are our Huaxia team and the US team."

"Now the starting lineup for both players has come out, let me read it to everyone."

"The Huaxia team sent: Jeremy Lin, Sun Yue, Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming."

"The US team sent: Curry, Kobe, James, Durant and Tyson Chandler."

"Director Zhang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Ok, no problem."

"Subjectively speaking, I definitely hope that our Huaxia team can win and win the first Olympic gold medal in men's basketball in history. But objectively speaking, the strength of the US team is better."

"Kobe said in a press conference yesterday that this will be his last Olympic Games. He will do his best to help the United States win another gold medal."

"And superstars such as Curry and James also expressed that they would go all out to help Kobe get his wish."

"With superior strength and such determination, it's hard for me not to worry about the prospects of the Huaxia team today."

Zhang Weiping analyzed with worry.

"Director Zhang, what you said is indeed quite reasonable. The strength of the American team is obvious to all. In their starting lineup, except for Chandler, the rest are MVP-level superstars."

"Kobe, James, Durant, and even Curry are all scoring king-level offensive masters! It's hard to imagine how we can resist the offensive of the US team..."

"However, we are not without advantages at all, right? Yao Ming's dominance in this Olympics is enough to be described as mvp! I believe he will punish the US team in the paint!"

Yu Jia said seriously.

Zhang Weiping nodded after listening.

"Yao Ming's point is indeed our advantage."

"But I think the most important thing is... defense! If Mark Jackson can find a way to contain the US team's offense, we have a chance to win!"

"Just like the United States played against Lithuania in the group stage, Lithuania used their team defense to limit the United States' offense very well, so they can fight the United States until the last moment!"

Zhang Weiping continued.

"But in that game, Kobe was plagued by injuries, and the U.S. team lost a hard solution point."

"Today was different, Kobe said he's 100 percent back from his ankle injury."

"In addition to Kobe, Curry will also be a big problem for us. Since the game against Lithuania, Curry has gradually become the core of the United States' outside offense and played better and better."

"How to deal with Curry, I think it will be the key to victory today!"

Yu Jia saw that he had done a lot of research, and he spoke logically.

While the two were talking, the referee had already walked to the center of the field with the basketball in hand.

The starters on both sides are already in position.

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

............

Yao Ming and Chandler jumped at the same time.

Chandler bounced faster and won the scrimmage.

Team USA goes first!

Curry passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Kobe and Durant cross-run in the corner.

Kd used the cover to go out and came to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

But Yi Jianlian quickly returned to the defensive position and did not give Durant an easy shot.

KD took a triple threat pose.

After a few tentative steps, he suddenly started, leaning on Ah Lian to kill inside, and made an emergency stop at the free throw line to shoot a jumper!

Yi Jianlian struggled to take off, but still failed to cover.

......

......

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

2:0, the US team took the lead!

"Hey~ The UAE has defended this ball very well, Durant is relying entirely on his talent to force himself..."

Zhang Weiping commented with exclamation.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jeremy passed the ball to Yao Ming at the top of the arc.

The moment Dayao received the ball, James dropped Xu Yong, who was facing him, and stepped forward to pinch.

Yao Ming quickly passed the ball back.

The double-teaming of the opponent means that the local side will form a situation of playing more and playing less.

But the Huaxia team failed to find a chance after conducting several passes.

There is no other reason, but the US team's defensive rotation is too fast!

But the Huaxia team was well-trained and immediately changed their strategy and played an off-ball pick-and-roll.

But the next moment, a surprising scene happened...

Shuhao ran quickly, from the right side of the court to the left side.

And Kobe chased and defended all the way, staying behind him.

Yao Ming saw the timing, stepped off after Shu Hao passed by, and set up a very solid pick-and-roll.

But when Kobe saw it, he didn't intend to slow down at all. Instead, he turned slightly sideways and rushed towards Yao Ming...

"Boom..."

A muffled sound.

Kobe, who was sprinting at full speed, bumped into Yao Ming.

Looking at his posture, it seems that he wants to go straight through Yao Ming's body...

Generally speaking, there is no good fruit to eat when a defender and a center collide.

But Kobe is known as the "Little Marlon", and his physical strength is more terrifying than many forwards!

In addition, he sprints at full speed, while Yao Ming stands still.

When there is movement and stillness, it is natural that the person who moves takes advantage.

Therefore, the next moment, the little eastern giant showed surprise, lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground!

"woo..."

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene.

Not only the fans were surprised, but the other eight players on the field, as well as the substitute players of the two teams, all showed shocked expressions...

Like Bosh on the bench.

At this moment, his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, and his eyes were full of disbelief!

What is Kobe doing?

Did he knock Yao Ming down on purpose? ? ?

Only Shen Fei in the stands remained calm.

He knew that this was Kobe's scheming.

In the original time and space, the opponent of the US team in the finals was Spain.

And Spain's center - Pau Gasol was also knocked to the ground by Kobe in parallel time and space!

Gasol and Kobe are teammates who have fought side by side for several years and won two championships together.

The relationship between the two has long surpassed teammates, friends...

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the closest comrades in arms!

But Kobe still knocked Gasol to the ground like he knocked down Yao Ming now!

What he wants to show is - I must win this game?It doesn't matter who comes!

............

After Kobe knocked Yao Ming down, Yi Jianlian was the first to quit!

He rushed to Kobe immediately and gave the latter a hard push.

But Bryant did not mean to escalate the conflict.

He raised his hands up the whole time, with a cold expression on his face, ignoring Ah Lian who came forward to ask for an explanation.

The referee could only shoot to separate the two.

Yi Jianlian was still very angry and wanted to bypass the referee and go to Kobe to continue his theory.

At this time, a big hand stopped Ah Lian.

It's Yao Ming!

After he was pulled up by Xu Yong and Shu Hao, he immediately pulled Yi Jianlian: "I'm fine, you can't be impulsive, you are very important in this game."

Ah Lian was taken aback when he heard the words, then calmed down immediately, and rejoined the game.

Yao Ming's mood is also very stable.

As smart as he is, he immediately understood the intention of Kobe's outrageous behavior...

Such a rough bump is nothing more than trying to show toughness or irritate the opponent.

But this just exposed the place where the US team is afraid of Huaxia-the inside line!

As long as Yao Ming is on the court, Huaxia can gain an advantage in the paint.

If it can disturb Dayao's mind, or irritate Yao Ming's inside partner Yi Jianlian, Huaxia's greatest advantage will be greatly reduced!

[His heart can be punished...]

Yao Ming thought to himself.

I have to say that this approach is very "Kobe".

In order to win, the Black Mamba will do everything possible, even if it is something that cannot be put on the table!

............

After the episode, the game continued.

Kobe's collision was only awarded a common foul in the end.

The Huaxia team served from the sideline.

Yao Ming still asks for the ball in the low post.

And after he got the ball, he was still double-teamed in the first place.

Dayao waved his hand and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin on the outside.

Shuhao made a gesture to shoot, but failed to fool Kobe.

Kobe bullied himself and launched an oppressive defense.

Fortunately, Shu Hao has excellent basic skills, and after a few simple dribbles, he gained a certain amount of space.

At this time, the 24-second attack time is running out, and it is difficult to launch tactics.

Shuhao raised his right hand and signaled his teammates to pull away.

He wants to single out Kobe!

Seeing this posture, the fans at the scene immediately became excited.

Most of the fans booed, the American fans yelled for defense, while the Huaxia fans yelled Shuhao's name in unison!

Soon, Shuhao moved!

He made continuous crotch dribbles and kept approaching Kobe.

Kobe, on the other hand, moved in small steps to maintain the flexibility of his feet.

Shuhao swayed several times, but to no avail, and finally forcibly accelerated his breakthrough from the right.

After rushing two steps, Shuhao made a sudden stop, dribbled the ball under his crotch and pulled it back.

In an instant, the two separated by a step.

Shuhao didn't think too much, he decisively collected the ball and shot...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe slapped the cap off the ball!

Face to face, single defense under the ball cap...

This kind of defense can be called ruthless!

After completing the block, Kobe took off for the second time, controlled the ball, and then rushed towards the Huaxia half.

Shuhao came back to his senses and rushed to catch up.

His speed is faster than Kobe, but the black mamba has rich experience, leaning against the book giant with his body all the way, and finally made an easy layup!

4:0, the US team made a strong start!

Kobe alone put Huaxia in a disadvantageous position!
