NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

With just over 3 minutes left in the game, the Chinese team came up and scored 5 points, chasing the score to 94. The two sides returned to the same starting line again, and coach K had no choice but to call a timeout.

Finally I can rest for a while!

Li Kaiming dragged his legs as if they were filled with lead, high-fived his teammates, then walked to the bench, sat down on the floor and gasped for air.

Sweat like rain!

Li Kaiming only felt that his limbs were no longer his own, and his lungs were like leaky bellows, unable to provide him with enough oxygen every time he breathed.

With a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, Deng Dehua patted the shoulders of every player on the Chinese team.

From before the game to the last timeout, Deng Dehua never thought that the Chinese team could defeat the biggest boss dream team in the gold medal match.

This is not to blame for Deng Dehua not having confidence in his players, it is because the American team is too strong.

The Olympic Games have been held for so many times after the war, and only two championships were won by someone other than America. One was in the last century when they lost to a disintegrating power in the north that played at home, and the other was in the 2004 Athens Olympics semi-finals when they overturned and lost to The Argentina team led by Ginobili only got a bronze medal in the end.

Moreover, during the loss to Argentina, many well-known players were not called up to the national team due to injuries. The biggest names in the team were Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson.

This improvised Dream Six team has been in decline since the beginning of the group stage. There is basically no cooperation between the players. After one round of group stage, they lost more games than in the entire previous Olympic Games.

So after 2004, the American Basketball Association also directly fired the previous head coach Larry Brown, and then replaced him with the famous NCAA head coach Lao K.

After Old K came up, he worked hard and asked the players of the American National Team not to be careless as before, but to be called in for training in advance, and the entire dream team's decline in losing games was wiped out.

Coach K is indeed a man who graduated from West Point Military Academy. He is very good at building the team's style. Under his leadership, all the big names of the 2008 Huadu Olympics Dream Team 2010 were dispatched and returned to the gold medal with a complete victory. Later in [-] The International Basketball World Cup also won the championship.

Therefore, it is normal for Deng Dehua not to have confidence that this Chinese team can defeat America. After all, the dominance of the Dream Team in the Olympics over the years is clearly visible to the naked eye. Even losing one game is enough for basketball fans around the world to discuss it for a while. , let alone losing the gold medal face to face.

But the situation is completely different now. The players on the Chinese team are at the bottom of their strength, and America's team is not much better.

Because Li Kaiming didn't rest during the whole game, America was almost beaten by the Chinese team throughout the whole game. It was difficult to overtake by a few minutes and was caught up by the Chinese team in two rounds.

In this case, the opposite coach K also had to increase the playing time of the starting players. Until now, the high-intensity confrontation in international competitions has made America's stars a little tired.

Especially the stars who like to break through to the basket are panting like a primitive man at this time.

The outside stars are also having a hard time. Kobe's physical strength is not as good as before as he gets older. Durant's lack of physical strength under high-intensity confrontation is his weakness. Now he is constantly wiping the sweat on his head with a towel. It's a pity that fresh sweat seeped out as soon as I wiped it off.

Coach K knew that he should make a decisive decision at this time to determine the core. Otherwise, if the next game is the same as before, if whoever gets the ball shoots, he may be in trouble today.

But who should give the ball to?

From the perspective of seniority and influence, it should be given to Kobe, but the latter's touch was not very good tonight, and the most important thing is that everyone knows how Kobe will play at critical moments.

Kobe leaned back and hit the iron against the defense of several people on the opposite side, and then the others in America stood and watched. This was not the effect that Old K wanted to achieve.

From the perspective of pure strength, LeBron James is definitely the strongest in the current dream team. His physical condition is at its peak, and he is good at blasting the opponent's defense. He is also good at hitting hard and can score the ball. To the open teammate.

But the problem is that after all, James is still a star who relies on breakthroughs. At this time, the Chinese team will definitely guard against interior breakthroughs, and the basket is even more airtight. In this case, the only advantage of handing the ball to James is that he can hit a The tactic of breaking through and distributing the ball.

The last choice is Kevin Durant. He was the best performer in today's game and he is also the one in the starting lineup who has no blind spots in offense. But the problem is that he is still young and the first two are willing to give the ball to Durant. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult...

The timeout was very short, leaving little opportunity for Old K to think. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to let James be the brains of the team at critical moments!

Players from both sides walked onto the court again, and everyone's eyes were on the players.

The critical moment that determines tonight's victory or defeat is here!

The American team serves, and James directly receives the ball from the backcourt and dribbles across half court.

When the Chinese team saw that James had the ball, the United defense became tighter, especially Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian on the outside. They were getting closer to each other, ready to form a wall at any time to defeat James. Block it.

Although it is difficult to break through the zone defense, at this moment, James believes most in his own breakthrough, so he just hesitated for a moment, and then tensed up his muscles, slamming the accelerator and rushing towards the basket like a tank!

The three members of the Chinese team immediately surrounded and blocked James. When the latter was about to hit the wall, he looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Durant who was waiting to catch the ball on the outside.

Yi Jianlian quickly returned to defense, but Durant's shot was very cold-blooded, like a killer, taking the three-pointer with a knife in his hand!

97 is better than 94!

There are 3 minutes left on the clock, and America's attack is very tough and critical this time.

Seeing this scene, all the Chinese fans were heartbroken.

Could it be that the outcome of losing is still unavoidable?

The Chinese players on the field had no time to think about this problem. Li Kaiming ran out of the baseline and quickly served to Liu Wei, then took the ball and dribbled across half court.

After discovering that Li Kaiming started dribbling from the backcourt, America no longer pressed the whole court, but followed the example of the Chinese team and went directly back to the backcourt to communicate and defend.

When the game comes to this moment, although this dream team is put together temporarily, it is still the top group of NBA stars. Even without a coach, they can spontaneously put all their thoughts on defense, let alone them. There is also the famous coach Lao K.

America's side also defends a zone defense. In front of Li Kaiming are James and Durant.

In fact, the best way to deal with this kind of defense is for Li Kaiming to hand over the ball, then go one step inside the three-point line to catch the ball and launch an attack.

But the problem is that in this case, he dare not give the ball to other players of the Chinese team.

At this time, America's high-pressure defense on the outside, coupled with the lack of physical strength of the Chinese team players, made it easy to be intercepted. Now they were 3 points behind. If they were intercepted and allowed the opponent to score another 2 points, the game would be impossible to recover. Oh my god.

Therefore, Li Kaiming did not dare to bet, and could not bet. This round must be won steadily. In this case, he only believed in himself!

The time slowly came to around 12 seconds, and Li Kaiming began to speed up his dribbling and at the same time approached the three-point line.

All the players on America's side were nervous, especially the first line of defense defending Li Kaiming. Both James and Durant stretched out their hands, ready to pounce.

Zhang Weiping's voice in the broadcast area was already trembling. Of course he knew what this attack meant to the Chinese team!

"Li Kaiming dribbled the ball and started to attack. James and Durant on America's side were staring at him! The other side came up to double-team!"

What everyone didn't expect was that before Li Kaiming took action, James and Durant, who were standing opposite him, actually rushed over and tried to double-team him!

Faced with the encirclement of these two people, even Li Kaiming couldn't find any room to break through for a while, so he could only dribble the ball and retreat to create distance.

Unexpectedly, James and Durant were aggressive and aggressive.

The two people formed horns like a big net, covering Li Kaiming's sight, constantly pushing Li Kaiming toward the midline!

If you retreat further, you will have to return!

Li Kaiming was also anxious. The two people on the opposite side were both tall. He couldn't see where the open person was. If he forced the pass, he would definitely be intercepted.

It’s not easy to break through, so there’s only one way!

A light flashed in Li Kaiming's eyes!

Then he gritted his teeth, stepped back and distanced himself under the stunned gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, and then pulled up and shot a super long three-pointer!

Not to mention the audience, not even James and Durant expected that Li Kaiming would be so crazy!

This was the last two minutes of the Olympic gold medal game. How could anyone take such a shot?

Zhang Weiping's lips in the broadcast area trembled and he couldn't say a word. He could only stare blankly at the basketball in the air.

America's players worked hard to block the Chinese players. As long as the ball didn't go in, no matter which direction it bounced from, the rebound belonged to America!

And just when America's players thought they were ready for everything, the basketball flying in the air spun closer to the basket, and immediately flew into the basket under the eyes of America's players like a ghost!

Swish!

97 flats!

Li Kaiming hit a super long three-pointer in the half, tying the score again!

The arena was quiet for a whole second, 1 seconds, 2 seconds!

It wasn’t until the 4th second that countless exclamations and exclamations broke out!

"Ouma! What the hell is this?"

"Am I deceived? Can you get in from such a distance?"

"Crazy crazy!"

"Li Kaiming is awesome! The Chinese team is expected to win the championship!"

Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia in the broadcast area immediately stood up!

"It's Li Kaiming again! A perverted super long three-pointer! He created a miracle again!"

Liang Zhen, who was in the VIP area, also had a smile on his face. He put his hand on the table and started tapping rhythmically.

"It seems like there is an unexpected surprise today..."

Liang Zhen murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth raised...

A middle-aged white man sitting not far from him slapped his hand on the table, attracting the attention of those around him.

People who can sit in the VIP area have status, and it is rare to be so rude.

But Liang Zhen just glanced at that person, and the smile on his face became even brighter!

The leader of America’s representative team seems to have lost his defense a bit...
