Chapter 595 Different Dreams
Who is the rhythm master on the basketball court?
Perhaps some people would say it is the snake-like movement of Ginobili, the variant European step of Kyle Anderson, or the dream footsteps under the basket like Hakeem Olajuwon.
Kobe once thought so too. He has studied snake-like movement, variant European step, dream footsteps of Hakeem Olajuwon, etc. He is even proficient in all these skills.
But at this moment, Lin Dong's performance made him wake up from a dream.
If these people's control of rhythm is based on skills, then Lin Dong's control of rhythm has transcended the action itself and reached the realm of true return to nature and macro control.
He just simply used the transit station of passing the ball to Yao Ming, a thing that seems to have no skills, but successfully deceived himself at that moment, and even used the excitement of that moment to force himself to subconsciously change the defensive rhythm, but Lin Dong's breakthrough rhythm did not slow down at all. In this way, the rhythm dislocation has been formed.
This is actually an ordinary pass. If he had not been moved to the right, Lin Dong's next move would probably be to pull directly to the right where Duncan was, forcing himself and Duncan further away from Yao Ming, and then let Yao Ming complete the open shot of the outside 3-pointer.
But when he was deceived and began to move his center of gravity, Lin Dong was able to predict everything that would happen in the first place, and then almost seamlessly break through the empty cut...
A simple pass, with only two variations, but with a sense of simplicity, when Kobe recalled it, he felt that no matter how he chose at that moment, he could not stop Long Guo from scoring, let alone scoring, he and Duncan could not even achieve the purpose of consuming Lin Dong and Yao Ming in the established tactics!
This conspiracy is even more of a dimensionality reduction attack.
Just like Archimedes who once said, "You can pry the earth with a stick", Lin Dong did this with only one pass!
Looking at Lin Dong's calm smile at this time, Kobe suddenly couldn't help but sigh.
The feeling of being enveloped by Lin Dong once again inevitably returned to his perception.
Have Wade and I approached him? Have we seen the scenery he saw?
No... At this moment, perhaps only I, who experienced it firsthand, can understand the real horror of Lin Dong.
While I was still studying the skills and the footprints of that guy, that guy had already stepped into another new realm!
He was not controlling the ball, he was really controlling the whole court!
His strength is no longer simply centered around the skills itself, but has radiated to the entire court, to every player around him and even to the hearts of every opponent.
This terrible guy still stands on the top of the towering mountain!
In the past, every time I took a step forward, I felt that I was getting closer to him, but he went away silently. That was a kind of despair for ordinary people, but for people like Kobe and Wade, they would only feel high-spirited, because they finally saw a farther distance and saw the goal of continuing to work hard.
But at this moment... when Kobe realized that he had really stood next to the top of the mountain, standing closest to the man, he suddenly realized that the top of the mountain where the man was was actually a thousand meters above his own top...
There was no rope or any other tool for you to climb up. The man stood alone on the top of the mountain and looked down on everyone, but your road was over. You could only stand below and look up, sighing and even finally afraid!
Kobe Bryant finally understood and admitted it at this moment.
Such a guy... As long as he has not retired, other people in this world will never be able to enter the invincible fourth level.
And this invincible realm will always suppress him. It feels like his speed, strength, and skills have caught up with Lin Dong. Finally, he stood in front of Lin Dong with confidence and clenched his fists, but the other party directly took out a submachine gun... He doesn't fight with you at all!
I will never surpass him, even if I win against Longguo today, but at this moment, the image of Lin Dong standing on the unreachable fairy mountain is still deeply imprinted in his mind, that is the shadow that he cannot erase even if he wins against the opponent with the team.
As long as he is there, all other players in this world can only be second-rate!
But...
Kobe slapped his face hard.
I lost, but so what?
The American team has not lost yet!
We have a deeper lineup than Longguo, we have more tactical systems, and we also have more physical strength under absolute rotation!
But what about Longguo? Putting aside the bug of Lin Dong, whether it is Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the core of the twin towers, or Chen Jianghua and Xu Yong, the core of the fast break, or Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue on the outside.
Facing the full-out fight of the American team, their energy consumption will be very fast and great. They will not be able to be as energetic as Lin Dong who played conservatively in the fourth quarter. They may even start to decline after halftime, and the changes of the Dragon Country will no longer exist...
By then, it will be the American team's chance!
I can lose, but the United States cannot lose!
Kobe Bryant clenched his fists tightly, and at this time...
Shh!
Old K has also walked to the referee's bench, and the referee blew the first substitution whistle of the game.
Jason Kidd is out, Dwyane Wade is on; Carmelo Anthony is out, Kevin Garnett is on.
Two up and two down, not because Kidd and Anthony played badly, but because the previous lineup of the US team is no longer suitable for the pick-and-roll lineup of the Dragon Kingdom's double point guards plus Yao Dong.
Kidd himself actually has good offensive ability, but after all, he is old. Facing Chen Jianghua, who is energetic and faster than him, Kidd's role on the court is more to connect the team and use his experience to suppress Chen Jianghua's fast break.
Of course, he did a great job, but it also made the US team a little overwhelmed on the offensive end.
With Kobe blocked by Lin Dong, Duncan suppressed by Yao Ming, and Anthony unable to completely win against Yi Jianlian, the US team's offensive point is actually relatively single, with only Durant as the only point, which is easy to be focused on by the Dragon Kingdom.
Wade, who is also known for his speed, is also young and energetic. Wade can suppress Chen Jianghua in all aspects, even eating him alive and forcing him to make mistakes. He can also complete his own offense more easily on the offensive end, increasing the offensive firepower of the United States.
As for Garnett, his role on the court is even more obvious.
His own offensive means are also rich. Although not as good as Anthony, he is more suitable for others than Anthony. He can complete the pick-and-roll with Duncan when he goes inside, and he is also a perfect mismatch when he pulls out and does the pick-and-roll with Durant. More importantly, Garnett is good at defense. He is more active and experienced than Anthony in switching between inside and outside defense. He can better complete the overall defensive task, and even cooperate with Duncan to bring some suppression to Yao Ming under the basket.
Longguo wants to play a double point guard, double tower and double pick-and-roll lineup, so he will follow suit and play a double point guard, double tower and double pick-and-roll!
Yao Ming has entered the state, and Lin Dong has also started to attack. Let's fight them in advance and use Garnett's mobility on the defensive end to complete the restriction and consumption of Yao Ming and Lin Dong!
Kobe can see it, and the outsider on the side of Lao K can see it more clearly.
This complete Dragon Country team is too strong. Under the connection of Lin Dong, their hard power is even better than the American Dream Team!
However, the gap in personal ability makes them inevitably consume a lot in this confrontation.
The opportunity for the United States to win always exists. As long as they can withstand these waves of attacks when they are in full physical strength, the advantage will gradually return to the United States!
Lao K's eyes were as clear as fire at this time, but what he didn't expect was that when the American team pulled out this lineup, the Dragon Country side also immediately changed players and changed the formation.
Chen Jianghua went down and Xu Yong came up.
Lao K frowned.
Xu Yong's speed is not as fast as Chen Jianghua, so it is obvious that substituting him is not to increase the team's speed; and Wang Zhizhi is not as threatening as Yao Ming in the interior, no matter on offense or defense, and it has only been the first quarter. What does it mean to use him to replace Yao Ming, who still has plenty of energy?
If you say it is to save energy for Yao Ming and Chen Jianghua, it is too early now, right?
Moreover, giving up the double point guards, is it to let Lin Dong play the No. 1 position and stop attacking?
Old K glanced at Coach Jiang over there and felt that he began to understand the intention of the opponent's lineup.
Hush!
The referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.
The ball is in the hands of the American team.
Substituting Wade is obviously to speed up the offense. Xu Yong, who just came on the court, is only an 18-year-old young player. Although he has played for several years in Mobis, he still seems a little nervous facing the Olympic stage and Wade, who is already known as the Flash.
When Wade passed the midfield with the ball, he pushed forward, but Wade caught him when he was not stable. He suddenly started to break through, threw Xu Yong behind him, and rushed to the basket. Facing the general block, he made a wonderful pass, helping Duncan to score 2 points and stop the bleeding for the US team.
14:8.
This ball was attacked quite cleanly and in a short time. With Wade's smooth breakthrough, it felt that the US team's offense, which seemed a little stumbling just now, suddenly changed greatly.
It must be the Flash. At this time, fans all over the United States couldn't help but burst out in front of the TV with a venting groan and cheers.
But before they could finish their joy, they saw that the counterattack from Longguo had already started.
Chen Jianghua went down, and Longguo's speed slowed down?
If we only compare Chen Jianghua and Xu Yong, it may be true, but if we look at the overall speed of the Longguo team at this time, we should know that the team's overall speed has been accelerated!
Almost as soon as the American team scored, Xu Yong ran to the baseline, picked up the baseline ball and threw it out directly. The other four players of the Dragon National Team, except Lin Dong who received the ball in his own half, the other three had already rushed to the front court at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
On the American team, Wade, the fastest player, was still near the baseline because he had just scored a goal, and his defense target was Xu Yong who was serving the baseline ball.
Kobe was still in the back half to keep up with Lin Dong.
Although Duncan's speed was faster than Yao Ming, compared with other forwards and even guards, how could he be so slow? In addition, the previous defense made him land, and he had just run to the backcourt three-point line.
In the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Zhizhi had already relied on their speed to form a perfect three-on-two situation against Durant and Garnett, and even Garnett's speed was slightly slower than the first echelon.
Durant was the first to land, facing the impact of NBA senior Wang Zhizhi and guarding the basket. Garnett faced Yi Jianlian at the right three-point line, but Zhu Fangyu had already formed an absolutely wide open space at the 60-degree angle of the left three-point line.
And such an open guard would definitely not be missed by Lin Dong...
The moment he received the ball, he made a long pass, and the basketball flew towards the left baseline of Zhu Fangyu's front court.
Durant's heart tightened, and he quickly gave up Wang Zhizhi under the basket and rushed towards Zhu Fangyu, but the basket was a little far from the 60-degree angle of the top of the three-point arc, and he had no chance to steal the ball, and could only barely block Zhu Fangyu.
It seemed that he was defending against him, but Durant only saw a smile on Zhu Fangyu's face.
To be honest, Zhu Fangyu didn't have any big ambitions in his life. He initially chose to play basketball because of his excellent physical condition. He was selected by the Guangdong Youth Team, and then he went there because he didn't want to sit in the classroom and study all day.
After being selected for the national youth team and making a name for himself, he turned his desire to study into "working to earn money".
Until he met Lin Dong, Sun Yue and other good friends later, and even listened to Lin Dong's various righteousness and dreams every day, and even followed Lin Dong to Mobisit, his purpose never changed.
He did not have Lin Dong's pure love for basketball, nor did he have Yao Ming's righteousness of always thinking about serving the country and the people after his background in the system.
But for him, earning enough money, going home to open the hottest and largest nightclub in Guangdong, and then partying until three in the morning every day, this is also an equally noble and pure dream!
Dreams are enough. No matter whether I am noble or not, it does not affect the conversion process of "Olympic champion = great honor", "great honor = huge money", "huge money = Guangdong's largest nightclub".
So when it comes to the desire to win, he is no less than anyone else in this team!
The moment he caught the ball, he bent his legs slightly, aimed at the basket and made a shooting motion. Then, looking at Durant who jumped towards him, Zhu Fangyu wanted to laugh.
3 points? I only know how to score 3 points? No, I am not the kind of person who only likes to show off. I can also pass the ball!
Things have changed, and it’s finally my turn!
I was fooled by Kevin just now, and I have to give it back!
Bang!
Almost at the moment when Durant jumped up, Zhu Fangyu changed his shot to pass. With a ground pass, the basketball passed Durant’s sight, and flew towards Wang Zhizhi in the inside.
