This striker is a bit of a monster

When the whole people is carnival for BJ Olympics.

8月9日，女子48KG决赛结束，中国选手陈燮霞以抓举95公斤、挺举117公斤，总成绩212公斤夺得金牌。

This is also the first gold medal won by the Chinese delegation at the BJ Olympics.

On the same day, on August 8, BJ time, in the just-concluded BJ Olympic men's 9m air pistol final, Chinese player Pang Wei won the gold medal with a score of 10, and won the second place for the Chinese sports delegation in this BJ Olympic Games. gold medals.

August 8, the second Olympic competition day.

The Chinese delegation won another gold medal in the women's 3m double springboard, women's 52kg judo, and weightlifting 56kg!
At 8:10 on August 22th, the Olympic men's basketball group match is the finale of the day, and it is also one of the most noteworthy games in the men's basketball event at this Olympic Games.

As for the Chinese men's basketball team, they also ushered in the most powerful opponent in the group stage - the men's basketball team from the United States.

Known as the American Dream Team.

The successive defeats in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the Japan Men's Basketball World Championships made the United States finally make up its mind and make every effort to assemble a men's basketball team that can be said to be the strongest after the American Dream Team. All come from the NBA. All star players.

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Tyshawn Prince, Michael . Redd, Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer and Chris Bosh.

This is a team of three generations, old, middle-aged and young. It not only has young impact, but also has rich experience in competitions.

The four members of the Platinum Generation in 03 have become the absolute protagonists on the NBA stage.

In the 04 class, the point guard duo also showed their heads and feet and became the league's first-line stars. Warcraft's Dwight Howard even lost in seven games with this year's championship Boston Celtics in this year's NBA Eastern Conference finals. Come on.

And the joining of this season's MVP Kobe Bryant is to give this team an absolute backbone and the absolute boss of the team!

On the back line, there is Jason Kidd, who is getting older and more bewitching.

And as the host of the Chinese men's basketball team.

It is also the strongest in history.

A series of warm-up matches also demonstrated the competitiveness of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Back line: No. 4 Chen Jianghua, No. 5 Liu Wei, No. 6 Zhang Qingpeng, No. 7 Wang Shipeng, No. 9 Sun Yue, No. 10 Li Nan.

Forward line: No. 8 Zhu Fangyu, No. 12 Zhou Lin, No. 15 Du Feng.

Center position: No. 11 Yi Jianlian, No. 13 Yao Ming, No. 14 Wang Zhizhi.

As far as light configuration is concerned, the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team is definitely not inferior to that of the American men's basketball team.

On the front line, Zhou Lin also played an extremely bright performance in the NBA playoffs this year. Among them, Tyshawn Prince of the Pistons who was eliminated by him, and Dwight Prince who fought against him in 6 games Howard is also in the lineup of the American Dream Team.

The Chinese team is divided into Group B of the Olympic Games. In addition to the American Dream Team, there are also the Spanish men's basketball team ranked third in the world, the Greek men's basketball team ranked fourth, and the German men's basketball team led by German chariot Nowitzki , this team has naturalized Chris Kaman, a player who has never set foot on German soil since birth, and also represented the German men's basketball team in this Olympics. The other team is the African powerhouse Angola men's basketball team.

Of the four best national men's basketball teams in the world, three are in Group B, which is definitely called the Group of Death!

In terms of strength level, the Chinese men's basketball team in history has no doubt that it is inferior to the three teams of the American Dream Team, the Greek men's basketball team, and the Spanish men's basketball team. The teams are also close to each other, and the Angola men's basketball team is undoubtedly the bottom of the group.

In the correct historical trend, the Chinese men's basketball team finally entered the quarterfinals by defeating the Angola men's basketball team and the German men's basketball team with difficulty, and finally lost to Lithuania, which ranked first in Group A, and stopped in the quarterfinals!
But the current Chinese men's basketball team is different. The appearance of Zhou Lin can be said to fill in the shortcomings of the Chinese striker. Yes, although Zhu Fangyu is also very strong, but Zhu Fangyu is not a striker with the ball.

Of course, many classic moments may also be destroyed. Zhou Lin remembers that in this game, Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer was also explosive!
But even with the best efforts of the Chinese team, they failed to pose even a slight threat to the dream team.

The positional battle of the Chinese team during this period will always have an answer. Whether it is Yao Ming or Wang Zhizhi, they are both good inside choices, but the problem is that the Chinese team needs to give the ball to Yao Ming at the best time, and When Yao Ming is double-teamed, he can also help to share the pressure. When meeting the US team or a strong European team, sometimes it will be a kind of torture after halftime, and the appearance of Zhou Lin can share the pressure on the back line in the lineup. .

After the national anthems of the two countries were played, the match was about to start!
In the Wukesong Basketball Stadium with nearly 1.8 seats, there are almost no seats left.

The lineup of the American team is: Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard.

The lineup of the Chinese team is: Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming!
Zhou Lin, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian are three active NBA players, and the other two are also players with ties to the NBA. Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers last year, and Liu Wei was also signed by the Kings for a short period of time in 2004!
Although this is a group match, but because it is a match between the Chinese team and the American Dream Team, the ratings and the number of viewers have reached the peak of this game day, which is even higher than the ratings of the finals between Spain and the United States in history The rate is even higher.

Yi Jianlian stood on the middle circle to jump the ball with Dwight Howard!
Howard helped the Dream Team win the first wave of possession.

Kobe gave a pass to Carmelo Anthony who had already run to the basket.

It's a pity that Anthony was unstable with the ball and made a wave of mistakes.

Anthony can be regarded as the player in the American Dream Team who is most adapted to the FIBA ​​system, not even one of them.

Under the FIBA ​​system, the three-point line is closer, and zone defense is the norm. It is not friendly to breakthrough players, but it will be very comfortable for players who are good at shooting.

It can be said that Anthony is definitely much easier to use than James in international competitions.

Looking back, Sun Yue struggled to complete the attack under Kobe's defense. With some pressure, he passed the ball to Yao Ming who ran out. At this moment, Dwight Howard couldn't keep up. Yao Ming completed three Points, so that the American players on the scene looked at the huge little giant, and they were a little confused.

This is also an extremely classic scene in the BJ Olympics.

Looking back, the Chinese team was defending a 2-3 zone defense. Carmelo Anthony got an open shot at 45°. Unfortunately, the shot still missed.

Zhou Lin protected the backcourt rebound and gave it to Liu Wei.

The U.S. team still insists on their man-to-man. Even in international competitions, the U.S. men's basketball team still only plays man-to-man most of the time.

It is said that the man-to-man quality of the American men's basketball team at this stage is extremely high. It can be said that the physical energy consumed in one game with the US team can basically be used to play two games with other teams.

Liu Wei is holding the ball, and standing in front of him is Jason Kidd, who may be the best defensive player in the NBA at the point guard position, and Howard, as a forward with relatively fast movement speed, is also walking with Yao Ming. in a vacant period.

Liu Wei didn't make a strong attack, Zhou Lin came up and set a pick-and-roll with Liu Wei.

Zhou Lin went down to the basket, and Liu Wei's pass found Zhou Lin through the gap between Jason Kidd and Dwight Howard.

Zhou Lin rushed to the basket and jumped high, with Carmelo Anthony at his side!
Carmelo Anthony, who was pushed to the fourth position, saw that Zhou Lin had already flown, so he gave up defending.

Zhou Lin dunked with both hands!
The process of the game also began to change at this moment!

"A good shot, for the Chinese team, the No. 12 Zhou Lin of the Chinese team dunked the ball directly into the basket, and the Chinese team scored a 5-0 start!"

Mr. Sun Zhengping, the gold medal commentator of CCTV, said excitedly.

Looking back, Jason Kidd gave the ball to Kobe, but Kobe was not greedy, and passed it to James on the other side. James took a step inside and failed to pass the ball in the first place. Zhou Lin passed the ball back to Kobe. Kobe tried a mid-range shot, but missed. Howard grabbed the offensive rebound, got up to the basket, made Zhou Lin's foul, and scored 2+1!

"Rebound, rebound, he has no basket!"

Yao Ming shouted loudly, Zhou Lin knew this without Yao Ming's reminder, after all, he had just played against Howard in the Eastern Conference semifinals a few months ago, and Howard's free throws were as stable as ever, even if he came from afar, The basket in Wukesong Gymnasium didn't give him any face either. He just shot up the basket. Zhou Lin got stuck in the position and gave Yi Jianlian the space to take off and grab the rebound.

Liu Wei came up to catch the ball, and Zhou Lin was on the side, raising his hand to set Liu Wei's pick-and-roll, and at the same time preparing to receive Liu Wei's pass.

Zhou Lin safely 'escorted' Liu Wei to the front court.

Yao Ming stood in the paint, stuck to Dwight Howard, and stretched out his hand for the ball. Liu Wei gave the ball to Yao Ming until Yao Ming's cool point, turned around and hooked, and the basketball hit the bull's-eye steadily!
7-2, the Chinese team continued to stabilize the score advantage.

As for the U.S. side, Kobe finally couldn't help it anymore. The outside line was directly one step away from the three-point line, and Sun Yue, who was defending him, was helpless. He could only watch the ball hit the net!

7-5!

It's the Black Mamba!
Looking back, the U.S. side defended an expanded press, and Liu Wei had difficulty handling the ball, so he could only pass it across to Sun Yue on one side. Sun Yue saw that Yao Ming was about to take a position in the paint, so he directly One pass to Yao Ming.

But here James has already consciously helped defend, after all, he was just scored in the same one before.

Yao Ming pushed twice, a big hook, which was still slightly affected by James on the side, and the hook was obviously wide, but at this moment, Zhou Lin suddenly came out, because James was on the opposite side to help defend Yao Ming Instead, some gaps appeared for Zhou Lin. He charged inside, saw the basketball bounce high, and directly pushed the ball into the basket.

9-5!

"Strike, it's Zhou Lin again."

Sun Zhengping explained excitedly: "This is a supplementary deduction. Zhou Lin's physical talent is really good. With a height of 2.08 meters, he can play both the 3rd and 4th positions. He also has the top talent of the yellow race." Compared with Yi Jianlian, he seems to be more flexible, and of course he is more confident, after all, he is also the core figure of a team in the NBA, and he is not afraid of these top players from the NBA at all psychologically."

"Pay attention to the top man!" Jason Kidd said while clapping the ball.

"My fault, my fault!"

LeBron James patted his chest and said, "I will take a good look at Zhou!"

"If you want to help defend my teammates, you have to come back at such a price."

Zhou Lin said to James in English: "You know it, so don't do that lightly."

Looking back, Carmelo Anthony finally made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

9-8!

The Chinese team adopts a zone defense, and it must bear the burden of being cut by the opponent's outside projection at certain moments.

On Yi Jianlian's side, he tried to push Anthony into the inside line. What should be said is that Anthony's bottom plate is really stable, and Yi Jianlian, who took the initiative to exert force, felt that he was going higher and further outside. It may be that seeing that the time is approaching, Piao made an outside shot.

Howard immediately took off the rebound and gave it to team guard Jason Kidd. Kidd didn't stop the ball and gave it to LeBron James, who was sprinting forward like a wild horse.

And let the US team run a fast break, not to mention the Chinese team, even top basketball powerhouses like Argentina and Spain, can't resist it.

James was a high-speed armored vehicle, and Zhou Lin was chasing after him, but James ended the round with a dunk.

10-9!

The Dream Eight team completed the overtake at 7 minutes and 12 seconds into the game.

"Overtaken, the Chinese team needs someone to stand up!"

Another ball from Dayao, but this time, Anthony and Howard were all concentrated on the basket, Yao Ming had no choice but to give the ball to Sun Yue, Sun Yue dribbled twice, but found that he couldn't find a way to get rid of Kobe's restraint , to Zhou Lin on the side.

In this lineup, Zhou Lin is more of a pitcher, a support, and a support point, but now that the ball is in Zhou Lin's hands, there is no time, he can't attack, and he has to attack.

The defense on James' side was almost face-to-face. Zhou Lin made a feint from outside the three-point line, and James flew.

Zhou Lin adjusted his breathing instantly.

Three points, hit!
12-10!

In Wukesong Stadium, there was a wave of cheers!
"Zhou Lin, it's Zhou Lin again, he has already scored 7 points, and this three-pointer also helped the Chinese team overtake the score!"
