The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 123 Blood Splattered Arena (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)
Throughout the second half of the third quarter, the Spanish team attacked wildly under the leadership of Gasol.

When Yao Ming is not on the court, he frequently hits the inside line.

Yao Ming and Lin Yue looked anxious off the court, but Jonas planned to let them play the entire fourth quarter, so he chose to go through this difficult 5 minutes.

However, Liu Wei is really powerful. On the offensive end, he can not only assist his teammates, but also score by himself.

Today, he scored in double figures at this time, swept away his previous slump, and supported the second half of the third quarter with Zhu Fangyu.

With Yi Jianlian's mid-range hit at the buzzer, the Chinese team rewritten the score to 67 to 62, leading by five points into the final quarter.

Gasol scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in this quarter to support the Spanish team's offensive and defensive ends.

Fernandez, who performed well in the first half, didn't make any shots, and seemed to want to go all out in the fourth quarter.

"Who would have thought that the Chinese team was still in the lead after the third quarter? After the fourth quarter, they will win the Spanish team for the first time." Yu Jia said excitedly. He felt that he could witness the miracle happening with his own eyes.

The audience at the scene fell into an extremely excited state. Lin Yue knew that if he won this game, the probability of the Chinese team qualifying for the group stage would be greatly increased.

"Hold on, we will play steadily in the fourth quarter, and we still have a great hope of winning." Jonas said to the players. At this time, it is very important to encourage the players and give them confidence, but the mentality of the Chinese team members is also very good at this time.

Facing the upcoming fourth quarter, they will not take it lightly.

"The physical strength of the Chinese team has become the key factor. In this game, Jonas only used a rotation of nine players. Wang Shipeng didn't have much playing time. This is a challenge for others." Zhang Weiping said the hidden disadvantage of this game.

The Chinese team did not fall behind the US team by many points when they played for two and a half quarters, but then, the physical disadvantages of the yellow race showed up. The Chinese team lost too much physical strength, which led to the US team scoring consecutively in the remaining one and a half quarters.

This fourth quarter is the key physical battle.

"Yao Ming didn't play in the second half of the third quarter, and Lin Yue didn't rotate in the entire third quarter. It seems that Coach Jonas is going to make a big move." Yu Jia said.

……

"The fourth quarter begins, let's turn our attention to the field."

"Sure enough, Yao Ming and Lin Yue of the Chinese team came on the stage at the same time. In addition, Zhu Fangyu, who had performed well before, sat on the sidelines to rest, and Yi Jianlian returned to the field." Yu Jia said.

In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team no longer had any reservations, and put the strongest lineup they could deploy on the field.

Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Lin Yue, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

The Spanish team is also the opening lineup, Raul Lopez, Fernandez, Carlos, Reyes, and Gasol.

The Chinese team has a 5-point advantage in the possession of the ball. The point difference is not big. If you don't pay attention, you will be overtaken by your opponent, so you can't be careless.

Lin Yue gave the ball to Liu Wei and let him lead the half court.

After that, Lin Yue received the ball at the top of the arc, and with the help of Yi Jianlian came to a high screen, passed the defensive Carlos, and made a two-point shot.

"Sitting on the bench for a whole quarter, my hands are cold. I have to find the feeling of shooting first." Lin Yue looked at the trajectory of the basketball after taking the shot.

"short."

The ball hit the front of the basket, Yao Ming was physically stuck by Gasol, and Reyes picked up the rebound.

Raul Lopez immediately ran to the Chinese team's half after getting the ball, trying to use the fast break to recover the score.

Lin Yue wanted to recover the missed ball by himself, but he kept harassing Raul, so Raul had to slow down.

The remaining players of the Chinese team were able to return to the defense, but the fast break was unable to play, and the Spanish team turned to a positional attack.

Gasol stuck Yao Ming in the low post and reached out for the ball.

Raul hangs inside.

The Chinese team had been prepared for a long time, and Yi Jianlian went over to double-team immediately. He still had a chance to play one against one, but one against two equaled the right to pass the ball.

After a few laps, Gasol gave up the shot and transferred the ball to Fernandez.

The latter missed the layup after breaking through Sun Yue.

"The Chinese team is now waiting for you to attack inside. It is unreasonable for the Spanish team to rely on the inside to score." Zhang Weiping said, as if forgetting how much trouble Fernandez caused the Chinese team in the first half.

Lin Yue did not choose to shoot himself this time, but gave the ball to Yao Ming on the outside.

Dayao got a good three-point opportunity after the pick-and-roll, and Lin Yue took advantage of the opportunity to hit the ball to the ground.

Yao Ming will take aim outside the three-point line before shooting. His shots are a bit slow, but with his height, it is basically impossible for him to be capped after switching defenses.

"Kang Dang." With great force, it hit the back edge and flew directly to the outside line.

Lin Yue was lucky to get a defensive rebound, and his three-point attempt after receiving the ball also missed.

"The Chinese team's shooting is a bit unstable." Zhang Weiping said worriedly.

In fact, the Spanish team's defense has never lost its position. Whether it is a pick-and-roll or a one-on-one single, they have been sticking to each other and not giving a chance.

At this point, defense becomes the deciding factor of the game.

In the defense, Sun Yue actively fought for the ball for the team, but Fernandez made a pass error under Sun Yue's interference.

The Chinese team's counterattack, after Lin Yue rushed to the inside, hit the ground to Yi Jianlian who followed up. The latter took the ball and dunked with both hands, scoring the first point of the fourth quarter for the Chinese team.

After all, the Spanish team made the first mistake.

"Ah Lian, good ball, Lin Yue passed the ball reasonably, and deceived the players of the Spanish team." Zhang Weiping is more and more appreciative of Lin Yue, a young man.

The Spanish team started to play steadily and didn't want to make any fast breaks. They had to score first.

Gasol made a mid-range hit near the free throw line and scored two key points for the team.

"Pau Gasol is still strong, Yao Ming's pace is slow, give him a chance in the middle distance." Zhang Weiping said.

Gasol's golf quotient is not low, he took advantage of Yao Ming's slow speed, ran to the free throw line instead, and shot directly without waiting for the Chinese team's supplementary defense to be in place.

"It's okay, we won't lose." Lin Yue comforted.

Lin Yue dribbled the ball across half court, Yi Jianlian came out to cover, Lin Yue crossed past the defender, stretched his position with the back defender, changed to the left hand side and took three big strides towards the basket.

"Lin Yue's action is to dunk? But Gasol is still under the basket, is this a dunk?" Zhang Weiping shouted.

The audience also began to scream, how many surprises this 18-year-old will bring.

"boom!"

Gasol took the initiative to attack and collided with Lin Yue heavily, and then Lin Yue lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he subconsciously supported it with his hands or he would fall to the ground on his face.

"It's a good thing I didn't fall on my face, otherwise I wouldn't be able to rely on this handsome face to eat." Lin Yue smiled, but the expression on his face made him look a bit hideous, and he couldn't hide the pain,

"Lin Yue, you are bleeding." Yao Ming said to him.

The teammates of the Chinese team surrounded him, and the team doctor came to bandage him.

"Can you still stand up? It's not good news if you get injured at this time." Yu Jia was very worried about Lin Yue's situation.

"This is a physical foul. Gasol hit Lin Yue on the forehead in the air." Zhang Weiping said loudly.

Gasol regretted his actions just now. He just wanted to defend the ball. He didn't intentionally foul, let alone hurt Lin Yue. It's just that Lin Yue jumped better than he imagined, and his hands were confiscated.

"Sorry." Gasol walked to Lin Yue and said.

"It's okay, no problem." Lin Yue got up and shook his body twice, as if there was nothing serious, the pain disappeared a lot, and some blood oozes from the white cloth on his forehead, staining it red.

Lin Yue walked to the free throw line, ready to make two free throws.

"Isn't this a physical foul?" Zhang Weiping was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, but he couldn't change it.

When Lin Yue went to the free throw line to adjust, he missed the first free throw.

Lin Yue was very surprised when the voice of MVP was heard at the scene. This MVP was meant for him. The captain of this team is Li Nan, and the core is Yao Ming. He is just a rookie.

But he got the voice of MVP.

"MVP, MVP, MVP..." the voice continued.

Perhaps this is what makes people moved. Basketball is not just a sport where strength is paramount, but also spirit.

The moment Lin Yue puts on the team uniform, he is not just a person, what is shed is blood, but also the spirit of never giving up.

With the second free throw, the Chinese team's lead came to 6 points.
