NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 120 Final, Wang Chao's hole card bullet time
In this game against the Spanish men's basketball team, Wang Chao continued his outstanding performance in the previous game, making 19 of 11 shots, 10 of 5 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 31 points!
The Olympic Games are different from the NBA. The game time is 8 minutes shorter, and it is very rare to score more than 30 points in a single game. Just like in this game, the Huaguo Men’s Basketball team only scored 81 points in total, and Wang Chao’s 31 points are already Accounted for nearly 40% of the team's points!

In addition to Wang Chao, other Huaguo men's basketball players also played very well. Yao 17 points and 10 rebounds, Da Zhi and Zhu Fangyu also scored 15 points.

In Spain, Gasol scored 27 points and 8 rebounds, and Fernandez also scored 19 points. The two scored 46 points together.

Originally, according to the historical process, the Spanish men's basketball team should strive to catch up with the tie in the final quarter, and then rely on more physical strength than the Huaguo men's basketball team to finally win in the overtime period.

But with Wang Chao, everything is different.

Wang Chao's explosive unsolvable scoring on the offensive end is completely unrestricted, especially in this game when facing the opponent's defense, various ball-handling breakthroughs and mid-range shots. After the space, Spain has no way to deal with it. This is also the key to the Huaguo men's basketball team winning the game.

……

As everyone imagined, the Huaguo men's basketball team lost to the American men's basketball team and defeated the Spanish men's basketball team. The fighting power shown made fans all over Huaguo feel at ease. Group B, which was originally regarded as a death group, now Shi also seems to have become the best stage for the Huaguo men's basketball team.

On August 8, in the third round of the group stage, the Huaguo men's basketball team played against Angola. Facing the opponent who had played many times in the warm-up match, the Huaguo men's basketball team mercilessly struck out and won easily with 14:92. The second game of the group stage was won, and the group qualifying was determined in advance.

Huaguo fans celebrate happily.

Originally, in this capital Olympic Games, the men's basketball team shouted the slogan to keep eight and compete for four, keep the top eight in the Olympic Games, and at the same time compete for the top four as the ultimate goal.

Now that the quarterfinals have been determined, but the ultimate goal of competing for the fourth, it seems that the pattern is a bit small now.

They even defeated the Spanish men's basketball team, the champion of the 06 World Championships. What are the top four?
The goal is to reach the top three and win medals!
The Huaguo fans did not expect the men's basketball team to overthrow the American dream team and win the Olympic gold medal, but even if it is a silver medal or even a bronze medal, it will be of great significance to Huaguo!

On August 8, the fourth round of the group stage, the Huaguo men's basketball team vs the German men's basketball team.

The German men's basketball team is also one of the top teams in the world. It has regular season MVP-level top star Dirk Nowitzki and center Chris Kaman. Their strength should not be underestimated.

The Hua Guo team had played against the German team 12 times in the World Championship before, with only 2 wins and 10 losses, which was an absolute disadvantage.

But this time, the situation has completely changed.

79:55, the Huaguo men's basketball team easily won by a big score.

The duel between Yao and Nowitzki, the two top insiders in the NBA, was evenly matched. Yao scored 25 points and 11 rebounds, while Nowitzki scored 24 points and 17 rebounds.

In addition to Nowitzki, the German team scored in double figures, namely Basil with 13 points and Kaman with 10 points.

As for the Huaguo men's basketball team, apart from Dayao, only Wang Chao scored in double figures, but Wang Chao alone topped the German team's two teams.

21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Although Wang Chao's scoring in this game was worse than that of the previous game, he sent 7 assists.

The combat effectiveness of Wang Chao and Dayao's internal and external dual-core made everyone feel extremely at ease.

After defeating the German team, there is only the last game left in the preliminaries of the Huaguo men's basketball team, and the opponent is the Greek men's basketball team.

In the original history, at this time, the Huaguo men's basketball team had 2 wins and was confirmed to qualify for the group stage, and the match with the Greek men's basketball team would determine the opponent in the final stage.

As the former head coach of Lithuania, the head coach Jonas believed that the Huaguo men's basketball team would have a greater chance of winning against Lithuania, which he is more familiar with, so he voluntarily gave up the game against the Greek team. Dayao only played in the entire game. After 18 minutes, there was even a dispute with Jonas because he wanted to play in the middle.

But in the end, Dayao still took the overall situation into consideration, sat on the bench according to the arrangement of Yunus, and watched the Huaguo men's basketball team lose the game.

Everyone knows the story after that. In the quarter-finals, against Lithuania, the Huaguo men's basketball team had no resistance. No support, and finally lost the game 17:19, ending the Olympic journey.

But this time the situation is different.

The Huaguo men's basketball team currently has 3 wins and 1 loss, ranking No. 2 in the group stage, second only to the American men's basketball team that has won all 4 games.

As long as they win the game against the Greek men's basketball team, the Huaguo men's basketball team will qualify with the second record in the group and face the team with the third record in Group A.

Although Group A is not as exaggerated as the group of death in Group B, there are still strong teams. For example, Argentina and Lithuania are currently ranked first and second in Group A respectively. It is naturally excellent to drive these two teams.

Therefore, in this game with the Greek team, Jonas and the players reached an agreement on the goal, go all out to win the game, strive for the second record in the group to qualify, and avoid the strong opponents of Group A!

"The game is over! Congratulations to the Huaguo men's basketball team for defeating the Greek men's basketball team with a score of 89:75. In this way, the Huaguo men's basketball team has a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the group preliminaries, and they will definitely qualify as the second place in Group B. The opponents in the quarter-finals will be Croatia, who are third in Group A."

Director Sun said happily: "This is definitely a top pick! Croatia is a relatively weak team in Group A, and the Huaguo men's basketball team will have a great winning percentage."

"That's right." Director Zhang nodded and echoed: "Not only that, but more importantly, if the Huaguo men's basketball team defeats Croatia and advances to the semi-finals, the opponents will be Lithuania, the first in Group A, and Greece, the fourth in Group B. The winner of the two teams will most likely be Lithuania. Everyone knows that the current coach of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Jonas, is the former head coach of the Lithuanian national team. He must be familiar with Lithuania's players' technical characteristics and team tactics. It is also the best opponent of Huaguo men's basketball team in the semi-finals, much better than against Argentina!"

What the two commentators said made the audience in front of the TV feel excited.

If, just if, if the Huaguo men's basketball team beat and eliminated Croatia and Lithuania in a row, wouldn't it guarantee a silver medal?

Not long ago, they just changed their slogan from keeping eight and fighting for four to fighting for the bronze medal. In just two days, the bronze medal will rise to the silver medal?In that case, does the Huaguo men's basketball team... have a chance to win the gold medal?

Although the possibility is not great, but the dream, after all, must have!

……

At the end of the group preliminaries, all four groups of matches in the quarter-finals also appeared.

The American men's basketball team ranked first in Group B vs. the Australian men's basketball team ranked fourth in Group A.

The Huaguo men's basketball team ranked second in Group B vs. the Croatian men's basketball team ranked third in Group A.

The Spanish men's basketball team ranked third in Group B vs. the Argentine men's basketball team ranked second in Group A.

The Greek men's basketball team ranked fourth in Group B vs. the Lithuanian men's basketball team ranked first in Group A.

All four groups of competitions will start on August 8.

The match between Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and Croatia is the first group matchup.

At 8:20 pm on August 14th, Wukesong Stadium, this much-anticipated game started as scheduled.

Croatia is a traditional strong team in the world. The best result in history is the Olympic silver medal lost to the United States Dream Team in the final in 92, and then won the third place in the World Championships in 94.

However, in recent years, Croatia has not had any particularly good results in world competitions. Although there are several active NBA players in the team, most of them are bench substitutes or role players. The biggest player is Big Z of the Cavaliers. Personal problems did not play in the Olympics, and even Big Z is far from being able to compare with the Huaguo men's basketball team with two top all-stars.

77:56, Huaguo men's basketball team won by 21 points.

"Congratulations to the Huaguo men's basketball team for defeating Croatia and reaching the semi-finals! Achieved a historic breakthrough in men's basketball at the Olympics! This historic moment will be remembered forever!"

The passionate voice of the narrator accompanied by the deafening cheers at the scene made the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but raise their arms and shout.

On the field, Dayao clenched his fists and raised his head to the sky, screaming, Ah Lian, Da Zhi, Zhu Fangyu and others also embraced together, wantonly celebrating this historic moment.

In contrast, Wang Chao seemed much calmer, because such a situation itself was within his expectation.

But the so-called tranquility is only relative to Dayao and others who are emotional.

With the roar of cheers from the audience and the high-spirited national flag, no Chinese person could remain absolutely calm on such an occasion.

"Wang Chao, we did it! Thank you, thank you!"

Dayao, who had completely released the suppressed emotions in his heart, turned and hugged Wang Chao. He knew very well that whether it was the Huaguo men's basketball team reaching the quarter-finals or defeating Croatia in the quarter-finals, Wang Chao was the biggest contributor!

At this moment, he is very fortunate that he did not hesitate to use various network resources to help Wang Chao return to the national team. It is no less than the level of top scorers like Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

"Thank me for what? Isn't this what I should do?" Wang Chao said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not over yet. Our goal is not the semi-finals, it should be an Olympic medal!"

"Yes, you are right!"

What Wang Chao said made Dayao feel emotional.

Olympic medals!These men's basketball players actually have the opportunity to compete for medals in their lifetimes!
Almost at the same time, the sound of the system sounded in Wang Chao's ear.

"Ding—trigger a random mission, the mission objective, and lead the Huaguo men's basketball team to win the Olympic medal."

"The first level of rewards, win the Olympic bronze medal, and get rewards: 2000 point rewards, one random talent skill."

"The second tier of rewards, win the Olympic silver medal, and get rewards: 4000 points reward, one optional talent skill."

"The third tier of rewards, win the Olympic gold medal, and get rewards: 6000 point rewards, optional types of talents and directly upgrade to the upgraded version of talent skills."

At this moment, Wang Chao's eyes showed an unprecedented look.

The Olympic system rewards are too generous!

The gold medal reward actually has 6000 points and upgraded talent skills?
This is much more than getting an S-level season rating plus a championship in the NBA!
But calm down and think about it, it seems quite reasonable.

The Olympic Games are held every four years, which is much more valuable than the NBA held every year. Moreover, Wang Chao's Huaguo men's basketball team is not the world's top team, and the difficulty of winning medals is much more difficult than winning the NBA championship.

What's more, the Olympic finals are not like the NBA playoffs with 7 games and 4 wins. It has a certain error tolerance rate.

Based on so many conditions, it is understandable that the mission rewards are generous.

It's just... the gold medal reward is too sweet, right?

6000 point reward, an upgraded optional skill?
Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help licking his lips.

Is the Dream Team a stick?Do him!

……

"The Huaguo men's basketball team defeated Croatia and broke into the semi-finals! Make history!"

"Wang Chao and Yao continued to play well, and both scored 20+ points!"

"In the semi-final against Lithuania, does the men's basketball team have a chance to defeat a strong opponent and win an Olympic medal?"

As the Huaguo men's basketball team defeated Croatia and broke into the semi-finals, the men's basketball event became a phenomenon-level topic in Huaguo for a while, and even completely overwhelmed the news of winning gold in other Olympic sports.

This is the best embodiment of the huge influence of basketball as a sport in China!

No way, who made basketball the most popular ball game in the world besides football?
Especially in China, limited by venues and conditions, basketball is a sport that is more popular and accepted by the public than football.

Of course, Hua Guo's achievements in the basketball field are also the main reason why people prefer basketball.

As the Huaguo men's basketball team broke into the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, the national football team was shot while lying down.

As the host, the national football team has directly qualified for the competition, but such a qualification is just asking for humiliation.

As early as August 8, the national football team was eliminated in the group preliminaries with 13 wins in 3 group matches, and the national football team only scored one goal in the three games, which was ridiculed by Chinese fans as more precious than gold. goal.

The national football team missed the final, but the men's basketball team made a historic breakthrough and entered the semi-finals, which perfectly explained what it means to be a foil to peers.

Perhaps the national football team is the only one in China that doesn't want the men's basketball team to continue to win. After all, the more men's basketball team wins, the more incompetent they will appear, and the more scolded they will be by fans across the country.

But the expectations of the national football team often backfire.

On August 8, the men's basketball semi-finals took place as scheduled.

The Huaguo men's basketball team played against Lithuania, and the American men's basketball team played against the Spanish men's basketball team, which had a difficult victory after a bloody battle with Argentina.

The result of the two duels was that the American men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team 118:107.

Huaguo men's basketball team beat Lithuania 88:82.

The Huaguo men's basketball team won again.

The national football team is completely numb.

The Huaguo men's basketball team that defeated Lithuania directly entered the final, and will compete with the US men's basketball team for the gold medal in the Olympic men's basketball championship!
This also means that even if they lose the game against the American men's basketball team, the Huaguo men's basketball team will guarantee a silver medal!
Don't underestimate this silver medal. For Hua Guo, who has never had high-end results in football and basketball, this silver medal is priceless!The influence is far greater than the gold medals of some niche sports in the Olympic Games!

……

It must be admitted that the Lithuanian men's basketball team is very strong, and it is also the top team after the United States, Spain, and Argentina in the entire Olympics.

The overall strength of the Huaguo men's basketball team is still far behind that of the Lithuanian men's basketball team.

But the Huaguo men's basketball team has Dayao, Wang Chao, and the former head coach of the Lithuanian men's basketball team, Jonas.

In Wang Chao's version of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Dayao's combat effectiveness is completely different from that in the original history.

Originally, before the Capital Olympics, Dayao had already suffered serious injuries in the middle of the NBA season. In the Olympics, Dayao could be regarded as a forced comeback with injuries. The injuries have not recovered. It is not bad to play 60% of the peak level on the court. up.

But the current Dayao, because of the reduced pressure on the field due to the combination of the Rockets' Big Three, although he also suffered from various minor injuries and illnesses, he did not suffer serious injuries. The combat effectiveness at the peak of health is at least around 90%.

It is self-evident how terrifying a healthy Yao's dominance at the basket is, and the Huaguo men's basketball team also has a super scorer who can be ranked among the top in the NBA, and he has absolute dominance from the outside.

In the game against Lithuania, Wang Chao continued to play as the starting point guard. Although he had already learned from the Spanish men's basketball team in the group stage and was a little psychologically prepared, Lithuania was still at a loss for Wang Chao appearing at the point guard position. , The full-court closed tactics originally formulated for the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team did not work at all when Wang Chao was holding the ball.

1-on-1 tightness can't stop Wang Chao at all. In the case of double-teaming, Wang Chao can still pass the ball to the open teammate easily and calmly. He will not rush and make mistakes because of the opponent's pressing. Press very firmly.

The problem that has plagued the Huaguo men's basketball team for decades was solved by Wang Chao alone. When the basketball can pass halftime without any mistakes, it is naturally not so difficult to hand it over to Yao on the inside.

In the battle against Lithuania, Dayao scored a game-high 28 points and 12 rebounds to completely dominate the inside line. Wang Chao was still able to maintain a high scoring efficiency despite a large number of Lithuanian outside players chasing and intercepting. He made 9 of 4 three-pointers and scored 22 points and 3 rebounds. 5 assists.

During the game, when the situation reached a stalemate, the elevator door tactics would reappear. Although it was occasionally called a mobile pick-and-roll violation, considering Wang Chao's high profitability with almost no missed shots, such violations were completely acceptable.

Even the Spanish men's basketball team, which is stronger than Lithuania, fell on the three axes of the Huaguo men's basketball team. Naturally, Lithuania couldn't cope with it, and could only suffer and lose.

By defeating Lithuania, the Huaguo men's basketball team will receive a silver medal, and at the same time, Wang Chao will receive at least the second level of system task rewards, which is 4000 point rewards and an optional talent skill.

The rewards have not yet been issued, because the Huaguo men's basketball team will compete with the American men's basketball team in the final to determine the championship and gold medal.

Although the Huaguo men's basketball team has shown a strong combat effectiveness in this Olympics, if the opponent is the American men's basketball team, there are still not many people who are really optimistic about their ability to win.

After all, it is the American Dream Team, the strongest basketball national team in the world.

In the past few years, perhaps due to various reasons, the strength of the national team has declined, the quality of participating players has been uneven, and they have lost the Olympic Games and World Championships. He even gave himself the title of the Redemption Team, intending to redeem the name of the Dream Team as the world's hegemon.

The two teams played against each other once in the group stage, and the American men's basketball team also won the game. The two teams met again in the final, and I am afraid that the result will not change.

But many people don't know that before the game between the two teams, in the locker room of the American men's basketball team, the head coach Old K looked at his teammates with a serious expression.

"Guys, with one more game, we can win the championship and win the Olympic gold medal, but I want to say that at this most critical moment, we must not take it lightly, especially the opponent in this game is the Huaguo men's basketball team! "

"Although the outside world is not optimistic about them, and thinks that the Huaguo men's basketball team all the way to the final is a counterattack, just luck, but in my opinion, the Huaguo men's basketball team is undoubtedly our strongest opponent in this Olympic Games, and even To surpass the Spanish men's basketball team! Because they have Wang Chao and Dayao!"

"Among you, there should be many people who have played against Wang Chao last season and know his strength, but I am afraid that not many people have noticed that during the Olympics, Wang Chao's strength is compared to last season's playoffs or even the total. During the finals, there were obvious improvements!"

"Speed, strength, explosive power, dribbling ability, passing, what I see is a powerful player who has improved his skills in an all-round way. His strength is no less than any of you!"

"Now, please think about it, why the Huaguo men's basketball team can beat Spain, Lithuania and other teams all the way to the finals? If we don't have an absolutely vigilant mentality, it will really be very dangerous!"

It can only be said that Old K is worthy of being a legendary coach in the United States. Although he has never coached an NBA team, his coaching experience and sense of smell are quite strong!

If it is said that in the locker room of the American men's basketball team, the head coach K's focus is to beat the dream team players who have been underestimating the enemy because the game has been going smoothly.

Then in the locker room of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, there is a live chicken soup teaching for the soul.

After the head coach Jonas explained the things that need to be paid attention to in the game, he left time for the players.

"guys……"

Although he is not currently the oldest player in the team, and he has not served as the captain of the national team because of playing in the NBA, but at this time, Dayao is the first to speak out and convince everyone.

"I am very lucky. In my lifetime, I can represent the national team to participate in the Olympic finals to compete for the gold medal. A month ago, I would not even have thought of such a thing."

"But now that we are standing on this stage, I would like to ask everyone, in our lifetime, will we have such an opportunity to touch the Olympic gold medal? To let the national flag of Huaguo fly? This opportunity is worth my all to fight for, no matter who the enemy is in front of us, we must do everything to win!"

Dayao put his hand in the middle, and all the players put their hands on it one after another.

"Hua Guo team! Come on!"

……

Wukesong Gymnasium and the stands were completely covered with a sea of ​​red. All the fans who came to the scene to support the Huaguo men's basketball team put on red half-sleeves representing Huaguo one after another, cheering like waves.

All Huaguo fans are present, looking forward to the miracles that will continue to come to Wukesong Stadium.

"Audience! It's finally the last game of the men's basketball event in the Olympic Games, the Huaguo men's basketball team vs. the Miguo men's basketball team! Can the Huaguo men's basketball team defeat a strong enemy and win the first basketball event in Huaguo's history at home? The Olympic gold medal depends on this final match!"

The game started with never-ending cheers!
Hua Guo team starts, Wang Chao, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Ah Lian, Dayao.

The US team started, Wade, Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard.

The midfielder jumped the ball, and the ball was still won by Howard.

The first attack of the American men's basketball team was very patient. After continuous transmission of the ball, James finally hit a three-pointer from the outside and scored first.

Ball transfer.

"Sure enough, the American men's basketball team is different from other teams..."

The commentator Director Zhang shook his head and said: "The Hua Guo team's idea of ​​letting Wang Chao start the point guard is very good. The teams I have encountered before have had difficulty coping with this move. Wang Chao can always get a chance to be misplaced on the court. , but against the American men's basketball team, the effect is obviously not so good."

"In this game, the starting lineup of the American men's basketball team has been adjusted. Kidd did not start the game, but replaced it with a younger and more impactful Wade. On the defensive end, it is still responsible for marking Wang Chao. Small forward James, Wade and James switched defenses to mark Zhu Fangyu."

"Wade, who is 1 meters tall, is at a disadvantage against Zhu Fangyu, who is 93 meters tall, but he is far superior to Zhu Fangyu in terms of speed, strength, jumping and other aspects. He has outstanding defensive ability and will not easily give Zhu Fangyu a chance to shoot. "

Wang Chao stood at the top arc and took a glance at the ball.

Just like what he thought, the defensive strategy of the American men's basketball team still focuses on taking care of themselves. Not only James is following closely, but other American team players around are also staring at his side all the time. Once there is any action, they will come up immediately Assist in double-teaming.

"It's really a card..."

Although Wang Chao is not afraid, but now is not the time for him to exert his strength.

Standing at the top arc, Wang Chao has already seen Dayao card in the main position on the inside and actively raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Without hesitation, Wang Chao immediately passed the ball to Dayao.

The Huaguo men's basketball team is at a disadvantage in almost all positions when facing the American men's basketball team, but there is only one position that has an absolute advantage, and that is the center.

As I said before, the only weakness of this dream team of the American men's basketball team is the inside line. There is only Howard as a traditional inside line, followed by Bosh and Boozer.

Don't look at the fact that many people are now Park Kan, Dayao can't beat Boozer, but that is based on the premise that Boozer relies on flexible footwork and often cooperates with Deron in pick-and-rolls. Boozer has a precise mid-range shot , can fire from the outside, but Dayao's footsteps are heavy, he can't keep up with the opponent's pace, and he can't defend from the outside.

You try to let Boozer play with Dayao under the basket?A short insider with a height of only 2 meters, why should he challenge Dayao on the inside?
At this moment, Dayao has plenty of energy and is not troubled by injuries. With the blessing of the home court, he is completely at the peak of his competitive state.

He leaned on Howard to carry it twice, and the latter tried his best to resist Dayao, but due to the weight difference, he was squeezed close to the basket by Dayao, and then sent the basketball into the basket with a signature small hook basket.

3: 2.

Eat, sleep, and fight Warcraft. This is a joke that Huaguo fans once came up with in pursuit of Dayao's dominance over Warcraft. It means that Dayao singled out Howard, which is as simple as eating and sleeping.

This is of course a bit exaggerated, but judging from the results, it is really easy for Dayao to eat Howard alone.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chao tried every means to pass the ball to Dayao. The latter lived up to expectations, feeling hot, and successfully scored consecutive singles against Howard.

After a few rounds, the American men's basketball team had to change its defensive strategy and instead used a forward defense against Dayao.

This is the move Dayao fears the most.

If you want to destroy the defense around the front, you must have a lot of physical contact with the defensive players. Because Dayao's footsteps are slow, he can't take the lead in many cases. Therefore, the physical consumption in the competition for blocking and anti-blocking is very huge. , Yao, who is originally lacking in physical fitness, will soon lose his offensive efficiency due to excessive physical energy consumption if he competes fiercely with the opponent for positions at the basket many times.

But this situation was also expected by the Huaguo men's basketball team. Yao was restricted by the forward defense and did not get too entangled with Howard. Instead, he was pulled directly to the outside to help Wang Chao pick and roll. After the pick and roll, Yao He will not go down to the basket, but will stand outside the three-point line, ready to return to the defense at any time. This not only saves energy, but also allows Dayao to return to the defense and guard the basket faster.

And Wang Chao took over Yao's offensive banner and began to lead the team's offense.

"Dayao's pick-and-roll, Wang surpassed James, faced Howard's defense with a super long-range three-pointer-yes! His shooting is really flawless!"

"Relying on Wang Chao's three-pointer, the Huaguo men's basketball team once again surpassed the score. The confrontation between the two teams in the first quarter was really fierce and stalemate!"

Many fans who watched the game in front of the TV were sweating nervously.

Soon, the first quarter ended, and the scores of the two teams were much closer than expected. The two sides fought to 28:27 in the first quarter, and the Huaguo men's basketball team led by 1 point.

Dayao scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, showing dominance on both ends of the offense and defense, but at the same time he also committed 2 fouls. The offensive pressure of the American men's basketball team was completely exerted on Dayao who was guarding the basket. body.

Wang Chao also scored 9 points in a single quarter, including 2 three-pointers. Under the highly targeted chasing and interception of the American men's basketball team, he has performed very well.

But after the game entered the second quarter, the old problems of the Huaguo men's basketball team began to gradually emerge. The high-intensity and fierce competition caused the Huaguo men's basketball players to start to consume their physical fitness. At the beginning, he made frequent mistakes and was successfully beaten into a counterattack.

"No way, as expected, Wang Chao still needs to hold the ball. No matter who the other players of the Hua Guo team are holding the ball, it is difficult to hold the ball under the oppressive defense of the American team. This is too much of a burden for Wang Chao!"

In the blink of an eye, the American men's basketball team established a double-digit score advantage, forcing the Huaguo men's basketball team to call a timeout.

When he came off the court, Dayao was already covered in sweat.

While shouldering the heavy burden on the offensive end, Dayao's work on the defensive end is even heavier than that of Howard on the US team, and so far he hasn't even rested for a minute. It is fake not to be tired.

Wang Chao thought about it, and felt that Dayao could not continue to support him on the court. If he was exhausted in the first half, he would really not even have a reliable helper in the crucial second half.

"Brother Yao, you will have a break after the game, and I will take care of the rest of the second quarter."

Wang Chao took the initiative to say to Dayao.

Dayao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head. "No, I'm off, the score will definitely be pulled away in an instant, and it will be difficult to catch up..."

But before he finished speaking, Wang Chao's decisive voice sounded.

"Don't worry, it's me!"

For a moment, everyone in the Huaguo team couldn't help looking at Wang Chao.

"In the next few minutes, I will carry the Huaguo men's basketball team! Before you play again, the point difference will definitely not continue to widen!"

Wang Chao's tone was calm, but unquestionable, it sounded so reliable.

Before Dayao could speak, head coach Jonas spoke first.

"2 minutes, I can give you 2 minutes, if you can't do it, Dayao must return to the court immediately."

Yunus said to Wang Chao.

After all, he is the head coach of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Wang Chao and Dayao don't count.

But his thinking is similar to Wang Chao's. Now it seems that the Huaguo men's basketball team is extremely dependent on Dayao, but if it continues like this, how will the Huaguo men's basketball team play when Dayao's physical strength is exhausted in the second half?
Since Wang Chao wants to try, it is better to try now than to wait until Dayao really exhausts his physical strength and loses a little bit of error tolerance!
……

"Okay, back from the timeout, players from both sides reappeared... Huh? Dayao was finally replaced after the timeout."

Director Sun gave a light snort.

"That's right, just now it can be seen that Dayao is very tired, it's time to take him off the field and have a good rest, but during the few minutes of Dayao's off-court rest, Wang Chao alone can lead the team and can handle it." Is the offensive of the American men's basketball team?"

Director Zhang shook his head slightly, "Now we can only trust and rely on Wang Chao."

In the Huaguo men's basketball team, Wang Chao slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and the defensive player in front of him had changed from James to Prince.

In fact, in this Olympic Games, as the least famous player in the team, Prince rarely has the chance to play, and more often he sits on the bench and watches others play.

There is no way around this. Prince's playing style is unpretentious, he pays attention to defense, and his personal strength is not outstanding among forwards. Only when he is facing the Huaguo men's basketball team, he can get some playing time, because the American team This side hopes to use Prince, who has excellent height and wingspan, to limit Wang Chao's performance.

However, Wang Chao is no longer what it used to be. Even during the playoffs, when the Pistons met the Magic, Prince could not limit Wang Chao's scoring, let alone now, he has become stronger. ?

Old K didn't expect Prince to defend Wang Chao alone. Just like James defending Wang Chao, when Prince defended Wang Chao, the other teammates on the left and right sides were also staring at him all the time. The action of the ball breaking through will immediately step forward to help defend the double-team.

Wang Chao is proud enough to be targeted by these top NBA superstars with such an attitude, but obviously there is no way to win.

"It's time to use the last hole card!"

Standing in the top arc position outside the three-point line and slowly dribbling the ball, Wang Chao thought in his heart.

Prince, who was staring at Wang Chao, suddenly saw the opponent making a shooting action, and without thinking, he immediately went up to him and raised his hand to interfere, even though it might be Wang Chao's fake move, but he didn't care about that much at all.

Wang Chao’s shooting fakes have reached the level of fake shots. This is no secret to all teams in the entire league. During the regular season, more than 50% of Wang Chao’s breakthroughs with the ball were fake shots to deceive the defense. The player's center of gravity will then be used for a breakthrough.

But even if he knows, he must step forward to defend, because Wang Chao's threat from outside the three-point line is far greater than his breakthrough with the ball.

If Wang Chao breaks into the inside line, they can also make up for it by assisting in defense, but if Wang Chao is given the opportunity to calmly shoot from outside the three-point line, then Wang Chao will most likely use a hollow three-pointer To teach you how to defend next time.

As Wang Chao's old opponent, Prince naturally made a choice without hesitation in the face of this situation.

Then he saw Wang Chao take back his shot, lowered his center of gravity to accelerate with the ball, passed him with one step, and rushed straight towards the basket.

At the same moment as Wang Chao moved, the American male basketball players on both sides of Wang Chao moved at the same time and began to shrink their feet. At the same time, Howard on the inside line also moved forward in the direction of Wang Chao.

The others are just fine. As a teammate, Wang Chao knows how exaggerated Howard's defensive radius was at his peak.

He didn't rush to stop for the first time and shoot a jumper to avoid Howard's defensive range, but said silently in his heart.

"Bullet time...on!"

"Om-!"

A strange buzzing sound sounded in Wang Chao's mind, and in an instant, everything in his sight began to become extremely slow, almost as if it had stopped.

Wang Chao didn't have time to observe this miraculous scene carefully, because the duration of the bullet time talent was only a short 1 second, and he had to make the most appropriate judgment for the current situation within 1 second!

The next moment, time resumed and everything on the field returned to normal. Wang Chao remained unchanged and continued to rush towards the basket with the ball.

"Come on, king!"

Howard's eyes flickered, watching Wang Chao eager to try.

Then he saw Wang Chao suddenly stopped one step inside the free throw line, and then jumped up to shoot.

"In this position, I can cover him!"

Howard didn't understand why Wang Chao made an emergency stop for a jump shot at this distance, but this was within his defensive radius, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately took two strides, and the whole person flew into the air to give Wang Chao a shot. Remember the volleyball smash.

However, Wang Chao did not shoot, but threw the basketball to the ground in the air. The basketball flew along Howard's crotch, rebounded after hitting the ground, and fell into the hands of Da Zhi not far behind Howard with great precision.

"Good pass!"

Dazhi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Wang Chao to catch himself moving towards the basket at this moment. The timing of the pass was just right, and he immediately raised his hand and scored a layup.
