Chapter 593 We Can Win!

At this time, Longguo had two choices: either to be defeated in a one-on-one duel, or to let Lin Dong switch to the weak side. Then Kidd would pass the ball to the strong side, and let Kobe + another superstar face Longguo's two-on-two. The result was the same. After all, Kobe's offensive ability was more comprehensive than Durant's, and Kobe was very familiar with the rotation defense of the Supersonics. If you replace Sakuragi Hanamichi and the group of Supersonics veterans, Kobe might not be able to break it, but it would be no problem to deal with two NBA substitute players from Longguo.

But the next second...

The weak side was Durant versus Zhu Fangyu, and the US team's lineup was clearly for them to fight one-on-one.

But as soon as Kidd passed the ball to Durant in the weak side, Longguo's rotation defense had already arrived.

Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, two-on-one!

The sudden double-teaming not only surprised Durant, but also all the American players on the court and Old K on the sidelines.

Although the rotation defense is fast enough, it is based on the control of space. At this time, there is no American player around Durant. As long as the ball is passed to the strong side position of the opposite side, neither Zhu Fangyu nor Yi Jianlian will have time to run back to the strong side position to defend. At this time, Anthony and Kobe are already in position outside the 3-point line, but there is only one defender, Lin Dong, which is equivalent to directly leaving a man for the American team.

What kind of play is this? Old K was a little confused at this moment. It is completely unreasonable!

Durant was double-teamed once just now and suffered a loss. At this time, when he saw this posture again, he immediately thought of the correct response strategy in his mind.

Swish!

He jumped high without hesitation and made a big lateral pass, throwing the ball to Anthony at the 60-degree angle of the left three-pointer. Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped up and threw the ball out of his hand, Lin Dong, who was still at the 3-point baseline, seemed to have predicted his passing route. He gave up Kobe Bryant and rushed towards the passing route between Anthony and Durant.

Reaction, speed, and anticipation.

Anthony was still unaware at this time, and made a gesture to catch the ball with both hands. Kobe knew that he was going to scream, but he was already a step too late. He saw Lin Dong had already crossed the distance of nearly two meters between them in one big step, and then jumped high before Anthony and Kobe who was chasing behind him.

Bang!

The basketball was intercepted by Lin Dong in the air.

Steal success!

If Lin Dong had jumped one step earlier, Durant would have reacted and chosen to throw the ball to Kobe, and if Lin Dong had jumped one step slower, the ball would have been in Anthony's hands.

The timing was too accurate!

Anthony couldn't help shaking all over, and was really startled by Lin Dong who suddenly jumped out, but Kobe Bryant behind him could only be secretly surprised.

Just now, his attention was all on Lin Dong, but he didn't pay attention to Durant's passing rhythm, so that when Lin Dong suddenly jumped over there, he realized the opponent's steal route, which made him completely unable to keep up with Lin Dong's rhythm.

But, Lin Dong and he were clearly eye to eye just now... Lin Dong is indeed worthy of being called Lin Dong, as if he had eyes on his back. How did he know when Durant would pass the ball?

Kobe Bryant's mind raced, and Anthony, who had just been intercepted, had already surrounded Lin Dong. After all, when the ball was in this guy's hands, his counterattack success rate was almost 100%, and he must not let him rush up.

After all, they were two super giants. Although they lost the ball, they reacted very quickly. Lin Dong had just landed and stood firm when the two double-teamed him, and it was a full-coverage front and back double-team, leaving Lin Dong no room to move. However, Lin Dong only made a ground pass and passed the ball from Anthony's crotch to the frontcourt.

Double-team? Stop fast break?

Don't forget, it's not just Lin Dong who can play super-fast counterattacks in this Dragon Country team!

The two years since Lin Dong left the NBA have created this Dragon Country team, and also created everyone in this team!

The No. 4 player rushed up like a whirlwind, picked up Lin Dong's pass and rushed straight to the front court basket as if he was in an empty space.

Kidd followed closely.

Lin Dong's steal came too suddenly, and the speed of the pass was too fast, so Kidd, who reacted quickly, had to slow down helplessly when chasing. However, Chen Jianghua and Lin Dong's cooperation was natural, one steal, one run, and one pass, without any gap between them.

What made Kidd seem even slower was the super speed of No. 4!

The reaction of the two players, one in front and one behind, was only 0.23 seconds apart at most, but when Chen Jianghua received Lin Dong's ground pass, Kidd felt that he could only chase the guy's back.

So fast!

Whether it was explosive power or absolute speed, it was so fast that Kidd could hardly chase.

After all, I am old and no longer at my peak. I may be able to limit this kid with experience and strength, or make him undefendable, but in terms of absolute speed...

This kid feels like Wade who has already rushed up, the real Asian lightning!

At this time, Anthony, Kobe and others quickly ran back to defend, but seeing that Kidd and No. 4 in front had gone far away, they could not catch up, and could only hope that Kidd could intercept the ball while returning to defense.

While everyone was staring at No. 4 and Kidd, Old K on the sidelines looked at Lin Dong with his eyes wide open, revealing an incredible look on his face.

Was that just a steal?

No... Perhaps only Lao K, who has studied Lin Dong for two years, can see what the Dragon Country team and Lin Dong were thinking in the ball just now.

That was not an obvious omission, and it was not an accident or coincidence.

That was the second "loophole" in the rotation defense, and also the second "rotation axis" in their rotation defense. This was the "flaw" that Lin Dong deliberately sold to the American team!

According to the strongest rotation defense theory of the former Supersonics, A1 and A2 defend B1, then when B1 passes to B2, A1 and A2 will immediately fill in the position of B4 and B5, and the original A4 and A5 will complete the switch of B3 and B2. In this way, the defense of B2 who just held the ball will still be two people, and only B1 who originally held the ball will be unguarded.

But just now, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian, as A1 and A2, were in the weak side position with a large space, too far away from others, and they could not participate in the subsequent rotation defense. The defensive loopholes of the strong side position of the Dragon team must exist, either in the strong side position or under the basket. This is also the reason why the American team deliberately pulled the formation like this, making sure that they could not double-team.

The Americans know rotation defense too well, but the Dragons still double-teamed them...

This is not rotation defense... or, it is not the standard traditional rotation defense, but an upgraded version, based on Lin Dong's absolute personal ability and absolute prediction of the situation on the court!

The Dragon team believes that Lin Dong can defend Kobe alone, and radiate his defense range to the passing route of Anthony's position. They believe that no matter which of the two Durant passes to, Lin Dong is sure to predict and intercept it.

At the same time, Chen Jianghua's position at the top of the three-point arc is also very important. It is like a nail, which makes Anthony subconsciously stand further to the right in order to get an obvious open opportunity, but ignores the right side. In fact, it is equivalent to moving closer to Lin Dong, which is equivalent to giving Lin Dong a one-defense-two foundation!

This must be from Lin Dong's layout. The position of the Dragon Country players on the court may even be accurate to centimeters!

Scary guy... He has a strong sense of reading and control of the court, so strong that he is like a real god, using his vision that is two or three seconds ahead of everyone to predict the next move of every player on the court.

While he was still thinking about using two super giants to double-team Lin Dong at the critical moment, Lin Dong was already doing a one-man "double-team" of two super giants!

Although the game has just started, Lao K's face has become a little pale.

He has thought about the evolution of all members of this Dragon Country team, and he has thought that the overall Dragon Country team will become very strong under the leadership of Lin Dong, and he has even preset every tactical change and every possible outbreak point.

But I never thought about it... When Lin Dong, the basketball god, came to the court with a completely dimensional attack and became the hand of God that transcended the chessboard of the game, what kind of situation would it be!

One person defended two people... The American team was equivalent to five against six.

It's not that I didn't think carefully enough, but because I couldn't imagine such a realm at all. This is not something that people can do!

And when the opponent team has such an all-knowing and omnipotent hand of God and eye of God, frankly speaking, even Lao K suddenly felt powerless.

Because even he couldn't predict Lin Dong's movements and thoughts, it meant that his words before the game that "controlling the rhythm can control the outcome of the game" became empty talk...

No!

Lao K swallowed his saliva and looked at the calm Lin Dong on the court.

You can't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. The game is not over yet!

After all, Anthony was unguarded at the time. According to the theory that the loopholes in the rotation defense are the core of the rotation, Lin Dong chose to pounce on Anthony at that time, which was itself part of the rotation defense tactic. As for the timing being just right... it can only be said that he was a little lucky.

Yes, that's it. It's just a coincidence, a coincidence with a bit of luck...

I thought too much and was misled by the halo of the God of Basketball.

Don't be anxious, don't panic, just play as you should!

While K was distracted, the stands around the stadium were already boiling.

—— So fast! That No. 4 is so fast!

—— God, he doesn't look tall, but he passed Kidd and shook Anthony before, and he was a master in the counterattack fast break. His speed is simply amazing. Kidd, who was running at full speed, seemed to be left behind by him!

—— Do we still have players with such a fast speed? It feels no worse than Flash Wade!

—— Chen Jianghua! Chen Jianghua! Chen Jianghua!

Kidd was indeed a little behind. He could barely hang on for the first few steps, but when he rushed to the front three-point line, the two were already one body apart.

Feeling the cheers from the stands and the "weakness" of Kidd, the NBA superstar, behind him, Chen Jianghua felt passionate at this moment, with countless energy and fighting spirit burning from the bottom of his heart.

Scenes from the past flashed through Chen Jianghua's mind.

——What's the use of having a good sense of the ball? You are too short. Basketball is a sport that requires talent. What kind of career can you play if you are not two meters tall?

——You only started playing basketball at the age of 11? Don't you think it's too late? Just play for fun, and study hard!

——The 188cm short guy? So what if he is 15 years old? His bone age is too old and he can't grow taller. It's useless to be fast. What's the use of being a sieve on the defensive end? If Lin Dong wants him to go to Mobis, just let him go. I don't feel bad at all. It's just right to change a foreign player. That guy can't play well in La Liga.

——Haha, Asian short guy, La Liga is not a place for you to run rampant!

——This short guy still wants to play in the Olympics? It's not that we don't have good point guards. Lin Huang himself is the best point guard! Otherwise, let Sun Yue play. After all, he is 204cm tall, has good ball control and is not slow. He is also a substitute for the Lakers' main rotation.

From the moment Chen Jianghua fell in love with basketball, the height problem has become an indelible haze on his career path.

Whether he was in the national youth team, the Sharks, or later went to Mobis, he could never find his position.

As a point guard, speed is indeed his capital. He is quite good at offense, but it is hard to describe him on defense.

He is not one of those power guards in the NBA, nor is he the type of Gary Payton who can be ranked among the strongest defensive point guards in history with a height of 193 cm. The physical characteristics of Asians have destined him to have no power and confrontation while having speed, which also destined him to be unbalanced on both offense and defense, and also made him unable to replace Sendoh as the starting point guard even in Mobis.

But...

——Everyone on the court has his role and value. Players who are good at everything are actually just mediocre.

——Practice your advantages and expand your advantages. When you use your speed to the extreme, 190 cm can still make a way in the world basketball arena!

Lin Dong's voice of encouragement echoed in Chen Jianghua's ears over the past two years, building a solid psychological foundation for him. At this time, the cheers from the stands and the American superstars looking at his back seemed to have grown a towering building from his foundation in an instant, making him stand tall on the top of the world!

I did it! Brother Lin! I am the Asian Lightning!

Chen Jianghua's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he roared loudly. His speed increased again at this moment. When he rushed to the basket, he had already left Kidd, who was running with him, behind him by a whole body!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jianghua jumped high towards the basket.

Layup?

No, don't even give Kidd a chance to chase the block!

Boom!

The basket rack shook.

Chen Jianghua, who did not have a tibia fracture, was once a flying man of the Dragon Country. This dunk with both hands holding the basketball was extremely violent and pleasing to the eye. The violent rim-breaking sound was accompanied by Chen Jianghua's wanton roar when he landed.

——Roar!

12:6!

The numbers on the electronic scoreboard jumped slightly.

Although it was only a 6-point difference, if you imagine this score as "the American team scored only half of ours", that kind of confidence seemed to be released suddenly.

——Chen Jianghua! Chen Jianghua!

——Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!

——Dragon Country must win! Dragon Country must win! Dragon Country must win!

The entire Wukesong Sports Center was completely boiling at this moment.

Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu's open double-team, Lin Dong's unsolvable steal, plus Chen Jianghua's fast break of Kidd's defense, this moment seemed as beautiful as a painting on the court, which revitalized the Dragon Country team that was once evaluated as "rigid". They undoubtedly seemed to be much more active than the five super giants on the opposite side!

This is the American team, the Dream Team 8, which is known as the strongest lineup in history and the most important one. But at this time in the semi-finals of the Olympics, it was beaten by the Dragon Country team as a whole!

Whether in terms of scoring, momentum, or the scene, even before Lin Dong shot, the 12 points he got were all from Lin Dong's teammates!

You know, in all the games that Lin Dong participated in, whether in NBA games or international games, as long as his teammates opened up their touch, scored first, and found the rhythm of the game first before him, the team that Lin Dong was in had never lost a game!

At this moment, even those who originally did not hold much hope for defeating the United States, or dared not to think so, finally couldn't help but get excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

We can win! We can win! We will definitely win!
