NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble
Chapter 210 [210] A thrilling 72 seconds, the most amazing kill in FIBA history!
Chapter 210 [210] A thrilling 7.2 seconds, the most amazing kill in FIBA history!
After a timeout, players from both teams re-entered the field.
The Dream Seven team served and attacked, and saw three highs piled up around the penalty area. Since FIBA did not have a three-second defensive rule, this obviously restricted the American team's breakthrough scoring.
Therefore, Ray Allen's outside three-pointer has once again become the first choice for offense.
Wade gave the ball to Anthony in the high post. At this time, Bosh moved to the outside and made a solid screen for Ray Allen, completely delaying Sun Yue who was pursuing the defense.
Ray Allen, who ran to the open space on the left outside line, also happened to receive Anthony's high-post support ball. Facing Yao, who was obviously slower in covering up defense, he decisively started and shot another shot.
"Bang!"
The basketball circled rapidly in the basket for several times, and finally came out.
At the critical moment, Ray Allen's three-pointer was obviously a bit unlucky.
Although he had hit 6 three-pointers tonight, scoring 20+ points efficiently, he missed two consecutive three-pointers at the end of the quarter.
This also made Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, frown slightly.
It seems that compared with Lin Fei, there is a clear gap between Ray Allen in terms of running and catching the ball and shooting.
The off-ball cover tactics originally assigned to Lin Fei during the Heat period required very precise spatial awareness and shooting ability.
Ordinary shooters simply cannot fully match such off-ball tactics, and top shooters like Ray Allen can only do so reluctantly.
"Snapped!"
The Chinese men's basketball team once again had a chance at the height of the basket. Although Dayao was brought to the three-point line, he still relied on his height and wingspan advantage to hold on to James and grab this key defensive rebound.
For the 2+1 that was previously beaten by James, I have been looking for opportunities to make up for the miss.
The ball was quickly given to Lin Fei, who was running forward. After receiving the ball, Lin Fei dribbled the ball and changed direction, throwing away Wade's tackle and rushing straight to the front court.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Ray Allen quickly defended and caught up on the other side. Lin Fei crossed the center line and got unlucky, changing direction again and shaking Junzi Lei away.
"Whoosh!"
Following closely, James also overtook Lin Fei's breakthrough line with a meteoric stride and intercepted Lin Fei's breakthrough line outside the right three-point line.
Taking advantage of the inertia of James' sprint, Lin Fei suddenly stopped and retreated, opening a distance of more than two meters from James. He watched as Wade and Ray Allen on the left rushed forward at the same time.
He raised his head and stared at the basket 9 meters away. Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot again.
"Shh!"
No. 13.
Although Ray Allen and Wade, who were flying forward, both turned sideways to avoid hitting Lin Fei, Lin Fei still fell to the ground when the shot landed, showing full actor style.
"Beep!"
The Asian referee was belatedly aware of the whistle and gave the foul to Wade.
The ball goes in and there is a penalty, 3+1.
After a moment of silence, the entire Saitama Super Arena erupted into deafening cheers and screams.
Lin Fei, who was lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, turned over and sat up, slammed his fist on the court floor, and roared at Wade and James in front of him:
"Want to win? It's not that easy!"
Sun Yue was the first to greet him and quickly pulled Lin Fei away. Dayao, Shou and A Lian also rushed forward to bump into Lin Fei and celebrate.
On the Tianchao men's basketball bench on the sidelines, the main players, Liu Wei, Du Feng, Li Nan and others also jumped up excitedly, shouting and waving towels with great momentum.
Trailing by 1 points in the last minute, Lin Fei's 6+3 in the fast break was priceless.
"OMG, Lin's fast break three-pointer is so crazy. He was one on three, dribbling past Wade, Ray Allen and James in a row!"
"It only took 4 seconds for this goal to go from counterattack to three-pointer. Did I really not dream? Is there such a crazy goal in the world?"
"With Lin's free throw shooting percentage, this 4-point score is definitely stable. This point difference has been directly chased to two points. It seems that Meng Qi is panicking!"
"An unparalleled basketball genius, so handsome, Lin is the combined PLUS version of Kaede Rukawa and Hisashi Mitsui!"
"This game is so exciting to watch. If Lin Fei really leads the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to reverse the American Dream Seven and win the championship, we must celebrate it properly. We will see you tonight!"
"MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP..."
Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Lin Fei ignored his good friend Wade's questioning of his flopping. Instead, he walked to the free throw line calmly and confidently and made the extra free throw easily.
"Shh!"
With Lin Fei's 4-point success, his personal score tonight officially reached 50 points.
China (95): (97) The United States.
On the timer, there are only 0 minutes and 39 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.
"Oh my god, Lin Fei has scored 50 points tonight. This is not only the highest score in a single game for the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships and Olympic Games, but also the second man to score 50 points in a single game in FIBA history!"
"He is the first player in FIBA history to score 50+10 points in a single game!"
"No matter whether the Tianchao men's basketball team can reverse the game and win the championship tonight, the name Lin Fei will be famous all over the world!"
"In my opinion, there is no doubt that the final MVP of this Island World Championships will be Lin Fei!"
"With 13 three-pointers in a single game, Lin Fei has set FIBA's personal three-point record in a single game to a level that no one else can reach!"
In the live broadcast room of Tianchao [-], Director Zhang and host Yu Jia were so impassioned and passionate that their high-pitched voices trembled.
"We were only 39 points behind in the last 2 seconds. I believe in miracles, I believe in Lin Fei, and I believe in the China Men's Basketball Team!"
Because both teams have no timeouts, the final 39 seconds of the game will become very tense.
Facing Lin Fei tonight, Wade scored 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. With everyone in Meng Qi equally sharing the shot, and being specially taken care of by Lin Fei,
This performance is already very good, and it also proves that he is indeed the strongest being in the Dream Seven camp.
But compared with Lin Fei's 50+10, Wade is still significantly behind.
At the critical moment, with the anger and unwillingness to get fouled after being shaken by a fast break, and the stubbornness and confidence to never admit defeat on the court,
Wade brought the ball to the offensive end. Facing Lin Fei's dribbling to press for time, he suddenly used the pick-and-roll to speed up and kill the basket. Against the aid of defense, Arab leaned forward and threw the ball at an extreme angle.
Arab Lian raised his arms high, but still could not stop the basketball from flying past him towards the basket.
"boom!"
Just as Wade's body fell heavily to the floor, the basketball on the rim bumped a few times before falling into the net.
"Shh!"
Wade broke through and hit two points, which also consumed 23 seconds of attack time.
China (95): (99) The United States.
With a 4-point difference, there were only the last 0 minutes and 16 seconds left on the timer.
The fans at the scene had no time to think too much in the suffocating atmosphere of the game, because the Chinese men's basketball team did not wait for anything. Taking advantage of the moment when the American team was slack in scoring, they quickly served from the baseline and launched a fast break.
"Whoosh!"
Dribbling continuously to get rid of the pressure of Ray Allen and Wade, Lin Fei saw that Dayao and Su Yu had quickly landed in the frontcourt penalty area, so without any hesitation, he jumped decisively after double-stepping.
Facing Wade's defense, he leaned back slightly and raised the arc of the lightning shot.
Although Lin Fei's ball avoided Wade's block, the difficulty level was too high. The basketball flew through the sky and landed heavily on the basket.
"Bang!"
Because of the angle and strength, the rebound didn't bounce very long. Yao, who was under the basket, roared at Bosh, jumped up, grabbed the basketball, and scored a direct dunk.
"Boom!"
China (97): (99) The United States.
With a two-point difference, the time on the timer reached the last 8.2 seconds.
The ball was in the hands of the American team, and the Chinese men's basketball team could only resort to foul tactics.
Lin Fei chased Wade, while Sun Yue clenched her teeth and followed Ray Allen. Although her physical strength was exhausted, Sun Yue knew the mission he was shouldering at this time.
It was the fighting spirit of Lin Fei and Dayao that sublimated Sun Yue, who participated in the World Championships for the first time.
The game is not over yet, even if it is only to the last second, we must not relax.
Seeing that it was difficult for both defenders to catch the ball, in order to avoid serving timeout, Bosh on the baseline gave the ball to the nearby James at will.
And this move fell into the trap of the Chinese men's basketball team.
There was roughly no hesitation. The moment James took the ball, he quickly slapped the opponent's arm with a big hand. "Beep!"
The time on the timer has only gone by one second, and there are only 7.2 seconds left.
James went to the free throw line to execute two extra free throws.
Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the American Dream Seven, and several assistant coaches standing on the sidelines suddenly frowned and realized the seriousness of the situation.
James, this guy, only made 51% of his free throws in this World Championship.
Tonight alone, James' free throws were even more extreme. He made only 5 of 2 shots, and his free throw percentage was as pitiful as only 40%.
Judging from the full-court press defense of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, they obviously induced Meng Qi to pass the baseline ball to James, and then quickly committed a foul and sent James to the free throw line.
Of course, this is only the best way in a passive situation. As long as James can hit one of the two free throws, the American team will lead by 7 points in the last 3 seconds, which will basically help them become invincible.
However, an ominous premonition still arose in Stan Van Gundy's heart.
Wade and Anthony both came up and patted James on the shoulder, telling him not to be nervous and relax.
The players on Mengqi's side prayed that James would hit at least one of the two free throws. It would be best if he hit all of them.
The players on the Tianchao men's basketball team, including Lin Fei and Dayao on the court, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and Li Nan on the bench, naturally prayed for James to make two free throws.
The suffocating atmosphere lingered in every corner of the arena. The beautiful island fans and several NBA stars sitting in the front row were all watching James' key free throws.
Because FIBA's free throw time is only 5 seconds, in a tense atmosphere, the strict time limit obviously affected James' poor free throw feel.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the ball and James missed the first free throw.
There were huge cheers at the scene, obviously from the fans who were looking forward to the Chinese men's basketball team's comeback.
Even if James made his second free throw, the Tianchao men's basketball team still had a chance to help the team tie the score and send it into overtime through Lin Fei's fatal three-pointer in the last 7 seconds.
Four teammates rushed up to high-five James, encouraging him to relax and take it easy.
After all, James is not a rookie, so he is definitely not nervous, but the free throw feels really cold.
For the second free throw, James mentally considered whether he should miss the free throw on purpose, and then tried to let the rebound bounce to a position conducive to his teammates grabbing it.
But James soon gave up this idea. For him, the success rate of doing so was simply more difficult than making free throws.
James took the second free throw anxiously, and the basketball drew a small arc in the air, taking away the attention of everyone on the court.
"Bang!"
The ball bounced on the side of the basket, bumped twice, and finally jumped out.
The rebounders of the two teams in the penalty area were already ready to go, and several inside players jumped up to compete for rebounds at the same time.
"Snapped!"
Dayao first lifted the basketball out against Bosh. Seeing that the ball was about to fall into Anthony's hands, he took one step away and relied on his height and long arms to fly the basketball outward again to the free throw line.
At the moment when James was about to step forward and seize the ball, Ah Lian, who rushed forward from a diagonal thrust, jumped up without thinking about his own safety, as if his eyes were red with his youthful energy.
Like a beast swooping towards its prey, it volleyed in front of James to grab the basketball, and then quickly passed it towards Lin Fei on the outside.
"boom!"
The moment the ball was passed from Ah Lian's hand, his whole body fell hard to the floor. Because he knew that time was running out, the pass was obviously too hasty.
It is always difficult for young players to make the most rational and correct choice at the last moment when every second counts.
What's more, the current situation itself is completely unfavorable to the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although the Arab League passed the ball at risk, Lin Fei also threw away Wade on the left outside and prepared to catch the ball.
But Wade still accurately predicted the direction where Lin Fei would catch the ball, turned around and jumped up, struck out with his long arms, and intercepted the ball the moment before Lin Fei caught the ball.
Wade also risked his life to make this save, but his big hands did not completely intercept the basketball, but allowed the ball to change direction and fly out of bounds.
"Whoosh!"
Said it was too late.
Seeing the ball change direction and fly out of bounds in front of his eyes, Lin Fei did not hesitate at all. He subconsciously took a step forward, flew up and rushed towards the basketball.
At the critical moment, Lin Fei grabbed the basketball with his big hands and threw the ball back into the court purely by feeling as his body soared into the air and landed on the front row of the auditorium outside the bounds.
"boom!"
With the loud noise, Lin Fei's whole body was hit hard on the billboard. The three beautiful fans from the island nation in the first row behind the billboard were not biased and were hit by Lin Fei.
All this happened in an instant. Arab League, Wade and Lin Fei flew to fight for each other at the same time. The entire Tianchao Men's Basketball team's backcourt became chaotic, with Wade and Arab League still falling on the floor.
The basketball rescued by Lin Fei had just been roughly retrieved. At this time, the time on the timer only had 3.5 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.
Under James' pressure, it was difficult for the general to dribble and sprint as his center of gravity was too high. Sun Yue, who was near the midline, threw away Ray Allen and ran back, hurriedly waving to the general for the ball.
The ball was quickly given to Sun Yue in the LOGO area. At this time, Ray Allen's pressing and blocking was also very fierce, leaving Sun Yue with no chance to break through and shoot.
Seeing the time on the timer reaching the last 2 seconds, the young Sun Yue, under the entanglement of Ray Allen, no longer knew what to do, and asked him to force a three-pointer from the center circle. The probability of hitting was almost zero.
But Sun Yue knew that she and the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team had no other opportunities.
Standing on the sidelines, Yunus, the head coach of the Tianchao men's basketball team, jumped to his feet and roared at Sun Yue to shoot quickly.
The moment Sun Yue leaned against Ray Allen, crooked his body and jumped up to make a strong shot,
A figure suddenly jumped out from the smashed billboard outside the boundary. With clear blood stains on his forehead, he quickly ran into the field and waved to Sun Yue for the ball.
"Sun Yue, here! Give me the damn ball!"
Sun Yue trembled, and without even having time to think, he passed the ball directly to the figure wearing the red jersey No. 9.
At this time, Lin Fei caught the ball half a step inside the right sideline near the center line, facing the basket 14 meters away in a diagonal stab. Even though the blood flowing from his forehead fell into his eyes and blurred his vision,
But still without any hesitation, he jumped up and quickly threw the basketball in his hand completely relying on his feeling and body memory.
The moment the basketball left your hand, the red light on the steel backboard and timer also lit up, signaling the end of the game.
No one would have thought that Sun Yue could find the passer at the last second of the game, and no one would have thought that Lin Fei, who broke his forehead trying to save the ball, would be able to rush out from behind the smashed billboard at the last moment.
Therefore, Lin Fei's extreme shot was not disturbed or hindered by any interference, but the blood dripping into his eyes blurred his vision.
The basketball flying through the void seemed to turn into a shooting star. Every fan in the Saitama Super Arena,
Every player from the two teams on the court, including James and Alley who were entangled with each other in the backcourt, Wade and A-Lian who quickly got up from the ground despite the pain,
As well as Dayao, who collided with Bosh who was close to him in the sprint, as well as Sun Yue and Ray Allen near the LOGO in the middle circle.
Everyone's eyes looked up at the basketball flying in the sky at the same time. The basketball seemed to fly from the island country to the sky, and then from the sky to the United States.
"boom!"
When the basketball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the net, the whole world seemed to become quiet at this moment.
The referee's eyes widened in shock. After being stunned for a moment, he blew the whistle and raised his hand to indicate that Lin Fei's three-point goal was valid.
China (100): (99) The United States.
The game was over, and a harsh buzzer sounded.
Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the floor tiredly.
After reacting quickly, Sun Yue, Dayao, Shou and A Lian all jumped up crazily, raised their hands and rushed towards Lin Fei.
"We win, Lin Fei, we win!"
"A decisive blow, Lin Fei, we are the champions!"
Liu Wei, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and others on the Tianchao men's basketball bench also rushed onto the court with shouts.
Dayao and Ah Lian directly lifted Lin Fei who was lying on the ground and threw him high into the sky...
The entire Saitama Super Arena exploded, with 3 fans inside the stadium and more than [-] fans outside the stadium screaming and cheering crazily at this moment.
Lin Fei's superb shot is destined to become the most classic memory of this arena.
There is no doubt that this will be the most classic three-pointer in the entire history of FIBA.
James, Wade and Ray Allen all rushed towards the referee, saying that Lin Fei's three-pointer had timed out and asked to review the video.
The FIBA vice president in front of the technical table smiled and stood up, spread his hands, and said loudly to the players and head coach of the American team:
"I'm really sorry, the game is over, no one can try to change this crazy result!"
(End of this chapter)
After a timeout, players from both teams re-entered the field.
The Dream Seven team served and attacked, and saw three highs piled up around the penalty area. Since FIBA did not have a three-second defensive rule, this obviously restricted the American team's breakthrough scoring.
Therefore, Ray Allen's outside three-pointer has once again become the first choice for offense.
Wade gave the ball to Anthony in the high post. At this time, Bosh moved to the outside and made a solid screen for Ray Allen, completely delaying Sun Yue who was pursuing the defense.
Ray Allen, who ran to the open space on the left outside line, also happened to receive Anthony's high-post support ball. Facing Yao, who was obviously slower in covering up defense, he decisively started and shot another shot.
"Bang!"
The basketball circled rapidly in the basket for several times, and finally came out.
At the critical moment, Ray Allen's three-pointer was obviously a bit unlucky.
Although he had hit 6 three-pointers tonight, scoring 20+ points efficiently, he missed two consecutive three-pointers at the end of the quarter.
This also made Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, frown slightly.

For the 2+1 that was previously beaten by James, I have been looking for opportunities to make up for the miss.

"Beep!"
The Asian referee was belatedly aware of the whistle and gave the foul to Wade.
The ball goes in and there is a penalty, 3+1.
After a moment of silence, the entire Saitama Super Arena erupted into deafening cheers and screams.
Lin Fei, who was lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, turned over and sat up, slammed his fist on the court floor, and roared at Wade and James in front of him:
"Want to win? It's not that easy!"
Sun Yue was the first to greet him and quickly pulled Lin Fei away. Dayao, Shou and A Lian also rushed forward to bump into Lin Fei and celebrate.
On the Tianchao men's basketball bench on the sidelines, the main players, Liu Wei, Du Feng, Li Nan and others also jumped up excitedly, shouting and waving towels with great momentum.
Trailing by 1 points in the last minute, Lin Fei's 6+3 in the fast break was priceless.
"OMG, Lin's fast break three-pointer is so crazy. He was one on three, dribbling past Wade, Ray Allen and James in a row!"
"It only took 4 seconds for this goal to go from counterattack to three-pointer. Did I really not dream? Is there such a crazy goal in the world?"
"With Lin's free throw shooting percentage, this 4-point score is definitely stable. This point difference has been directly chased to two points. It seems that Meng Qi is panicking!"
"An unparalleled basketball genius, so handsome, Lin is the combined PLUS version of Kaede Rukawa and Hisashi Mitsui!"
"This game is so exciting to watch. If Lin Fei really leads the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to reverse the American Dream Seven and win the championship, we must celebrate it properly. We will see you tonight!"
"MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP..."
Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Lin Fei ignored his good friend Wade's questioning of his flopping. Instead, he walked to the free throw line calmly and confidently and made the extra free throw easily.
"Shh!"
With Lin Fei's 4-point success, his personal score tonight officially reached 50 points.
China (95): (97) The United States.
On the timer, there are only 0 minutes and 39 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.
"Oh my god, Lin Fei has scored 50 points tonight. This is not only the highest score in a single game for the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships and Olympic Games, but also the second man to score 50 points in a single game in FIBA history!"
"He is the first player in FIBA history to score 50+10 points in a single game!"
"No matter whether the Tianchao men's basketball team can reverse the game and win the championship tonight, the name Lin Fei will be famous all over the world!"
"In my opinion, there is no doubt that the final MVP of this Island World Championships will be Lin Fei!"
"With 13 three-pointers in a single game, Lin Fei has set FIBA's personal three-point record in a single game to a level that no one else can reach!"
In the live broadcast room of Tianchao [-], Director Zhang and host Yu Jia were so impassioned and passionate that their high-pitched voices trembled.
"We were only 39 points behind in the last 2 seconds. I believe in miracles, I believe in Lin Fei, and I believe in the China Men's Basketball Team!"
Because both teams have no timeouts, the final 39 seconds of the game will become very tense.
Facing Lin Fei tonight, Wade scored 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. With everyone in Meng Qi equally sharing the shot, and being specially taken care of by Lin Fei,
This performance is already very good, and it also proves that he is indeed the strongest being in the Dream Seven camp.
But compared with Lin Fei's 50+10, Wade is still significantly behind.
At the critical moment, with the anger and unwillingness to get fouled after being shaken by a fast break, and the stubbornness and confidence to never admit defeat on the court,
Wade brought the ball to the offensive end. Facing Lin Fei's dribbling to press for time, he suddenly used the pick-and-roll to speed up and kill the basket. Against the aid of defense, Arab leaned forward and threw the ball at an extreme angle.
Arab Lian raised his arms high, but still could not stop the basketball from flying past him towards the basket.
"boom!"
Just as Wade's body fell heavily to the floor, the basketball on the rim bumped a few times before falling into the net.
"Shh!"
Wade broke through and hit two points, which also consumed 23 seconds of attack time.
China (95): (99) The United States.
With a 4-point difference, there were only the last 0 minutes and 16 seconds left on the timer.

Although Lin Fei's ball avoided Wade's block, the difficulty level was too high. The basketball flew through the sky and landed heavily on the basket.
"Bang!"
Because of the angle and strength, the rebound didn't bounce very long. Yao, who was under the basket, roared at Bosh, jumped up, grabbed the basketball, and scored a direct dunk.
"Boom!"
China (97): (99) The United States.
With a two-point difference, the time on the timer reached the last 8.2 seconds.
The ball was in the hands of the American team, and the Chinese men's basketball team could only resort to foul tactics.
Lin Fei chased Wade, while Sun Yue clenched her teeth and followed Ray Allen. Although her physical strength was exhausted, Sun Yue knew the mission he was shouldering at this time.

Said it was too late.
Seeing the ball change direction and fly out of bounds in front of his eyes, Lin Fei did not hesitate at all. He subconsciously took a step forward, flew up and rushed towards the basketball.
At the critical moment, Lin Fei grabbed the basketball with his big hands and threw the ball back into the court purely by feeling as his body soared into the air and landed on the front row of the auditorium outside the bounds.
"boom!"
With the loud noise, Lin Fei's whole body was hit hard on the billboard. The three beautiful fans from the island nation in the first row behind the billboard were not biased and were hit by Lin Fei.
All this happened in an instant. Arab League, Wade and Lin Fei flew to fight for each other at the same time. The entire Tianchao Men's Basketball team's backcourt became chaotic, with Wade and Arab League still falling on the floor.
The basketball rescued by Lin Fei had just been roughly retrieved. At this time, the time on the timer only had 3.5 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.
Under James' pressure, it was difficult for the general to dribble and sprint as his center of gravity was too high. Sun Yue, who was near the midline, threw away Ray Allen and ran back, hurriedly waving to the general for the ball.
The ball was quickly given to Sun Yue in the LOGO area. At this time, Ray Allen's pressing and blocking was also very fierce, leaving Sun Yue with no chance to break through and shoot.
Seeing the time on the timer reaching the last 2 seconds, the young Sun Yue, under the entanglement of Ray Allen, no longer knew what to do, and asked him to force a three-pointer from the center circle. The probability of hitting was almost zero.
But Sun Yue knew that she and the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team had no other opportunities.
Standing on the sidelines, Yunus, the head coach of the Tianchao men's basketball team, jumped to his feet and roared at Sun Yue to shoot quickly.
The moment Sun Yue leaned against Ray Allen, crooked his body and jumped up to make a strong shot,
A figure suddenly jumped out from the smashed billboard outside the boundary. With clear blood stains on his forehead, he quickly ran into the field and waved to Sun Yue for the ball.
"Sun Yue, here! Give me the damn ball!"
Sun Yue trembled, and without even having time to think, he passed the ball directly to the figure wearing the red jersey No. 9.
At this time, Lin Fei caught the ball half a step inside the right sideline near the center line, facing the basket 14 meters away in a diagonal stab. Even though the blood flowing from his forehead fell into his eyes and blurred his vision,
But still without any hesitation, he jumped up and quickly threw the basketball in his hand completely relying on his feeling and body memory.
The moment the basketball left your hand, the red light on the steel backboard and timer also lit up, signaling the end of the game.
No one would have thought that Sun Yue could find the passer at the last second of the game, and no one would have thought that Lin Fei, who broke his forehead trying to save the ball, would be able to rush out from behind the smashed billboard at the last moment.
Therefore, Lin Fei's extreme shot was not disturbed or hindered by any interference, but the blood dripping into his eyes blurred his vision.
The basketball flying through the void seemed to turn into a shooting star. Every fan in the Saitama Super Arena,
Every player from the two teams on the court, including James and Alley who were entangled with each other in the backcourt, Wade and A-Lian who quickly got up from the ground despite the pain,
As well as Dayao, who collided with Bosh who was close to him in the sprint, as well as Sun Yue and Ray Allen near the LOGO in the middle circle.
Everyone's eyes looked up at the basketball flying in the sky at the same time. The basketball seemed to fly from the island country to the sky, and then from the sky to the United States.
"boom!"
When the basketball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the net, the whole world seemed to become quiet at this moment.
The referee's eyes widened in shock. After being stunned for a moment, he blew the whistle and raised his hand to indicate that Lin Fei's three-point goal was valid.
China (100): (99) The United States.
The game was over, and a harsh buzzer sounded.
Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the floor tiredly.
After reacting quickly, Sun Yue, Dayao, Shou and A Lian all jumped up crazily, raised their hands and rushed towards Lin Fei.
"We win, Lin Fei, we win!"
"A decisive blow, Lin Fei, we are the champions!"
Liu Wei, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and others on the Tianchao men's basketball bench also rushed onto the court with shouts.
Dayao and Ah Lian directly lifted Lin Fei who was lying on the ground and threw him high into the sky...
The entire Saitama Super Arena exploded, with 3 fans inside the stadium and more than [-] fans outside the stadium screaming and cheering crazily at this moment.
Lin Fei's superb shot is destined to become the most classic memory of this arena.
There is no doubt that this will be the most classic three-pointer in the entire history of FIBA.
James, Wade and Ray Allen all rushed towards the referee, saying that Lin Fei's three-pointer had timed out and asked to review the video.
The FIBA vice president in front of the technical table smiled and stood up, spread his hands, and said loudly to the players and head coach of the American team:
"I'm really sorry, the game is over, no one can try to change this crazy result!"
