The most versatile player in history

Chapter 149 The Trouble After Happiness

"I'm here to defend Murray."

At the last moment, Lu Shaojie began to mark Murray again.

In his view, Murray's threat is greater.

At this most critical moment, the Canadian team really wants to focus on Murray.

After seeing Lu Shaojie switch defenses, the Canadian team had to adjust their tactics.

With the experience of the previous game, Murray knew that it would be difficult to find room to shoot in front of Lu Shaojie by himself.

You have to get through the screens of your teammates and a lot of running to find opportunities.

After nearly 40 minutes of fierce fighting, it is difficult for the players to have such physical strength to complete such cooperation.

Relying on the player's personal ability to play singles has become the best choice.

This is what NBA players are good at.

After adjusting the tactics, the Canadian players all opened up and vacated a large area as a breakthrough space.

Murray broke through Lu Shaojie to no avail and passed the ball to Wiggins.

Wiggins made a breakthrough, made an emergency stop, and made a jump shot.

The ball goes in.

85:84
Lu Shaojie also waved to his teammates to open up space.

He dribbled the ball continuously at the top of the arc, and when he was about to accelerate to start, Murray suddenly rushed over and double-teamed him with Barrett.

Hu Mingxuan is vacant.

Lu Shaojie played the ball quickly and passed it to Hu Mingxuan.

Wiggins came to defend Hu Mingxuan.

Hu Mingxuan passed the ball to Wang Xiangbin in the bottom corner.

There was no one in front of Wang Xiangbin, and Thompson, who was defending inside, had to go to defend Wang Xiangbin.

At this time, Lu Shaojie had already gotten rid of Barrett's entanglement and rushed to the basket.

Wang Xiangbin threw the ball into the air, Lu Shaojie jumped high, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket.

Air Relay!

"nice shot!"

"So handsome!"

"This physical fitness, this take-off height, absolutely amazing!"

"Am I not mistaken? Is it a flat basket?"

"Fuck, I'm so stupid!"

Lu Shaojie dunked the goal, which once again made the fans' emotions restless.

87:84
Canada's ball.

Murray made another attempt in front of Lu Shaojie, but had no chance and had to pass the ball to Barrett.

Barrett suddenly started and rushed to the basket to score.

87:86
Lu Shaojie dribbled the ball halfway, Murray came to double-team again, and Lu Shaojie passed the ball to Hu Mingxuan in advance.

Hu Mingxuan chose to shoot this time.

The ball missed.

Thompson grabs the rebound and throws a long pass to a fast-down Barrett.

Lu Shaojie chased after him.

When Barrett rushed to the basket, Lu Shaojie also arrived.

The two jumped up almost at the same time, and the moment the ball was released, Lu Shaojie's palm also shot out.

"Snapped."

Another pegboard hat.

Lu Shaojie didn't foul, and got the ball in his hand.

He dribbles forward.

Like the wind, he directly killed the opponent's basket.

Thompson reached out and grabbed Lu Shaojie.

The whistle blew.

Thompson fouled!
Lu Shaojie made two free throws.

89:86
There are less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

Canada's possession of the ball.

Murray also played almost the entire game. He was already very tired at this time, but at this critical moment, he had to stand up.

Because the next goal has to be scored.

If the goal is not scored, the game is basically lost.

Although he believes in the strength of his teammates, Murray believes in himself even more.

Murray gestured, and Thompson ran to cover.

Murray dribbled the ball laterally, and Lu Shaojie was blocked by Thompson, but Lu Shaojie was prepared, quickly bypassed Thompson, and stopped in front of Murray.

Murray jumped up high, and Lu Shaojie jumped up too.

A pair of big hands completely blocked Murray's shooting space.

Murray had no choice but to pass the ball down to Thompson.

Thompson was unprepared and missed the ball securely, and was touched by Hu Jinqiu, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

The ball hit the ground, and players from both sides fell to the ground to grab the ball.

The ball rolled to Lu Shaojie's feet.

Lu Shaojie picked up the ball, dribbled quickly and rushed towards the opponent's basket.

Barrett chased after him.

The two rushed to the basket one after the other, Lu Shaojie jumped up and dunked, and Barrett also jumped up, reaching out and hanging on Lu Shaojie's shoulder.

The whistle blew.

time out.

"It's the last ball. As long as we defend the ball, we can win the game. Everyone moves, get stuck in the position in advance, and try not to give the opponent a chance to charge up."

The coach is arranging the defense, "But remember one thing, don't foul, definitely don't foul, it doesn't matter if you can't defend, even if you can slow down the opponent's speed and force the opponent to take longer to organize the attack, that's fine."

"come on!"

"come on!"

"come on!"

"Definitely!"

The timeout ended, and Canada passed a tactical screen to an open Barrett.

With Wiggins missing a shot, the game ended.

"Won!"

"Promoted!"

"These young players have done wonders!"

"My God, this is so dreamy!"

"This is a great victory!"

"Lu Shaojie is worthy of being the leader and core of the team!"

"He did his best!"

"Let us look forward to the performance of the national team in the Olympics!"

The two commentators were very excited and praised Lu Shaojie and these young players.

At the same time, there was also an explosion in the online live broadcast room.

"Too fucking awesome!"

"Impressed!"

"It's a great game to watch!"

"Go, let's celebrate!"

The fans were rejoicing, and Lu Shaojie and his teammates were also celebrating.

"Brothers, well done!"

"Everyone is amazing!"

"This is something I didn't even dare to think about, but I did it!"

"Lu Shaojie, thanks to you!"

After the experience of the Olympic defeat, these young players have grown a lot.

Especially mentally.

This also caused the coaching staff of the national team to fall into happiness troubles.

In less than a month, the Olympic Games will start.

Will the national team continue to use these young people to fight, or let those veterans return?

If they use veterans, can they get along well with Lu Shaojie?

Will they regard Lu Shaojie as the leader and core of this team like these young players?
I'm afraid it's difficult, right?

Even if you take it orally, you may not be convinced.

What if the running-in is not good and the grades are poor?
If these young players continue to be used, will those veterans have any complaints in their hearts?

Will the fans complain for the veterans?
Lu Shaojie didn't have any worries about this. He believed in himself, no matter who his teammates were, he could show his strength.
