Chapter 342 The King of the World——LIN! 【Digital Chapter】
Chapter 342 The King of the World——LIN! 【Digital Chapter】
Only one minute into the fourth quarter, the biggest problem was magnified to the fullest. Liu Wei was first directly intercepted by Billups in the backcourt, and then the next attack failed to pass halftime in eight seconds. Two consecutive mistakes made the United States The team completed the overtake in an instant.
The head coach of the Chinese team, Deng Huade, roared at the players on the field. In the third attack of the Chinese team, with the cooperation of the players, Liu Wei finally took the ball across the half court. When he came to the half court, he tried to pass the ball to When Yao Ming on the inside was in the hands, Yao Ming was being defended by Kevin Love.
Defense around the front has always been the most troublesome problem for Yao Ming. Love's height disadvantage happens to give Love a certain advantage in the defensive end.
Liu Wei's tentative false pass failed to make Derrick Rose careless. Seeing that the offensive time was getting shorter and shorter, Liu Wei seemed extremely helpless under Rose's personal harassment.
"The Chinese team without Lin is unbelievable. They urgently need to solve the problem that Lin is not on the court and hand over the ball to Yao. Pick-and-roll coverage may be a good choice." Hoffman expressed his thoughts, Deng Huade on the sidelines really asked for this, but the players on the field failed to implement such a seemingly simple tactic. When Yao Ming used the screen to find an opportunity to catch the ball, there were only 3 seconds left before the attack time. Yao Ming made a move before he had time to adjust.
Bang!
The sound of iron striking soon sounded, and Yao Ming shook his hands angrily and ran to the backcourt.
Kevin Love easily protected the backboard and passed the ball to Derek Rose. Rose quickly took the ball across the half court. Facing Liu Wei's defensive speed, Rose immediately accelerated. Liu Wei Very helpless about this, Rose left him a gust of wind when he responded defensively.
Rose, who easily passed Liu Wei, glanced at the situation inside and then plunged into the inside without hesitation. Although Derrick Rose is of average height, his ability to swipe the basket is top-notch among the new generation of NBA players. Ross is the Windy City's hope for revival.
Facing Yao Ming's supplementary defense, Ross pulled the bar to the limit and picked the ball into the basket. Huge cheers immediately erupted in the Istanbul Arena.
After landing, Derrick Rose looked over Liu Wei's eyes and looked directly at Lin Fei, who was on the bench of the Chinese team.
Lin Fei followed the players on the field all the time. When Rose looked over, the two people's eyes met at this moment.
The corners of Derek Rose's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes clearly told Lin Fei that he was expecting Lin Fei to play.
Ross was looking forward to Lin Fei's response, who knew that Lin Fei took a sip of the Gatorade drink as if nothing had happened, and then looked away.
"Proud guy!" Rose couldn't help spitting in a low voice.
There is a saying that it is impossible to step into the same river twice. Compared with the US team’s continuous full-court press from the fourth quarter, the Chinese team has its own way to deal with it. Two people in the frontcourt helped cover Liu Wei’s lead. The ball passed the half court, and Yao Ming did not directly station in the penalty area, but pulled to the middle distance of 45 degrees. This position is conducive to Yao Ming's offensive. After all, Yao Ming is not a player who loses his threat when he leaves the basket like Howard.
With the help of the screen, Liu Wei bypassed Rose and rushed inside, then made a counter-pass and passed the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming catches the ball and makes a mid-range shot. Love, who is almost floor-like, doesn't have much impact on Yao Ming's shooting. After all, Yao Ming's height advantage is obvious and he leans back slightly. Love has no way to defend and can only watch. Watching the ball fly over his head.
Swish!
The basketball got into the net cleanly, and this goal somewhat eased the decline of the Chinese team after the fourth quarter.
However, the American team showed morale in the fourth quarter and did not slow down their progress because of Yao Ming's goal.
Melon Anthony’s signature offense is relying on the defender to use his big butt to hold it up and then stage a turnaround jumper. Rose’s speed makes the Chinese team’s defense line look like a turtle. If Yao Ming is not supporting the point difference, it may have been It turned into the Chinese team falling behind by [-] points.
When the game came to 6 minutes and 34 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team was 90:100 behind the US team by [-] points. Deng Huade on the sidelines had already ignored too much and directly requested a long timeout.
At the scene, many fans from the American team were dancing and cheering with the Stars and Stripes in their hands. In sharp contrast, there were fans and overseas students from China.
"It's like riding a roller coaster. Although there are still six and a half minutes left in the game, a double-digit lead is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the morale of the US team. Even if Lin's hot state in the first three quarters does not necessarily help The Chinese team rewrites the score." Hoffman looked at the Chinese team's bench with some concern, the Chinese team's greatest reliance on creating a miracle was Lin Fei, but can Lin Fei do it?
"Even if the Chinese team can't create miracles, they have already left people with unforgettable memories. For all those who love basketball, this game is already very precious." Bill Wharton said lightly, his eyes and Hoffman also stopped on Lin Fei who stood up.
"No one can take away our championship, the championship will always be ours!" The shouts of the American fans on the scene hit the eardrums of everyone in the Chinese team. It came up like a tide.
After a timeout, Lin Fei stepped on the floor again, and there was a lot of cheers in the Istanbul arena. Kobe squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Fei who was beyond the three-point line. After saying something, he speeded up and ran to the front court.
After Billups brought the ball across half court, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe. As the most attractive player on the US team in the world, Kobe immediately burst into cheers when he held the ball.
Kobe protected the ball with one hand and raised his left hand to indicate that he wanted to play singles, and the other four members of the US team immediately chose to pull away.
Lin Fei's improvement on the defensive end has already been recognized by everyone, but Kobe's offensive ability is more about blocking as much as possible and then betting on Kobe's luck. It is really too difficult to really block Kobe. The center of gravity kept a distance of less than half a body from Kobe, waiting for Kobe's next move.
As Lin Fei's old big brother, he and Lin Fei often trained together during the offseason. He was very familiar with everything about Lin Fei, and he didn't underestimate Kobe when facing Lin Fei's defense.
The expression on Kobe's face was so cold that people could feel the chills. He continuously crossed steps in front of him, and the rhythm changed from fast to slow. Lin Fei didn't dare to attack casually. Once he lost his defensive position, it was very likely that he would It was Kobe's goal. Now the Chinese team is [-] points behind. If Kobe makes another easy shot, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the Chinese team whose morale is at a low point.
Staring at Kobe's shoulders, he moved his left foot back a quarter to form a simple misaligned stance.
Seeing Lin Fei's appearance, Kobe still maintains his own rhythm, but the fast rhythm of dribbling is slowly increasing, and suddenly two fast-paced crossovers are accompanied by a movement of the foot, which makes the defensive end Lin Fei, who was highly concentrated, responded immediately, but Kobe was waiting for this moment.
With a heavy slap with his left hand, the basketball quickly slipped back from his crotch, and he lifted the ball with both hands with a shake of his shoulders. Lin Fei, who had already lost his position, forcibly moved a step and jumped up, but at this time Kobe took the ball with his left foot as the axis. Stepping down with his right foot, he took a step under Lin Fei's arm, then jumped up with one foot and threw the ball.
Lin Fei turned around immediately, but what Kobe left him was an image of a goal.
"Wo... oh... Lin has done his best, but obviously Bryant is a little more cunning. This is Bryant telling Lin that he is still the scariest guy on the planet." Hoffman said Said.
"Don't try to take away the championship!"
A familiar voice entered Lin Fei's ears, it was Kobe's unique voice.
Lin Fei didn't care. He shook his head and immediately threw out the messy thoughts in his mind. Now, scoring goals is the most important thing for him. Only scoring can relieve the pressured atmosphere of the team.
After receiving Yao Ming's serve, Lin Fei slowly pushed forward, and Kobe posted it immediately.
The cold eyes that Kobe stared at Lin Fei seemed to freeze Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stared back without showing any weakness, "Isn't the game over now? You once told me not to give up until the last moment. Today I will tell you with actions that I will not give up, even at the last second."
Almost at the end of the speech, Lin Fei jumped directly in front of Kobe, and then made a fearless three-pointer. Everything came so suddenly that Kobe was completely unprepared for Lin Fei's choice.
In most people's eyes, Lin Fei's shooting was too sloppy. Only Lin Fei himself knew whether his choice was right or not. Soon the basketball crossed the sky above the Istanbul Stadium and entered the ball six meters away cleanly. basket.
Lin Fei's shot was too sudden, not only Kobe Bryant but also the fans were a little unexpected, but the goal has come.
"Crazy guy, no one has Lin's crazy heart. He is motivating his teammates with actions. The game is not over yet. The point difference is back to single digits. There are 5 minutes and 42 seconds before the end of the game. China The team is still nine points behind." Bill Wharton looked at the court expectantly.
Kobe didn't speak, just glanced at Lin Fei and ran forward.
In the next attack, the U.S. team really handed over the ball to Kobe, and Lin Fei faced Kobe's attack again.
Looking at Lin Fei's position, Kobe began to dribble, almost exactly the same as the previous time, with a combination of speed and slowness. The overall rhythm was very steady, and he adjusted his offensive rhythm from time to time according to the changes in Lin Fei's defensive position.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the basketball collided with the ground again and again, Lin Fei's defensive attention was also put into defense little by little.
Kobe played back his understanding of Lin Fei's defense in his mind, and slowly lowered his body's center of gravity. The basketball shuttled back and forth under Kobe's crotch like an elf!
Facing Kobe's dribble, all Lin Fei could do was wait.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
After hitting the ground three times in a row, Kobe suddenly changed direction and sprinted towards Lin Fei's right under Lin Fei's nose.
With his chest straightened out, Lin Fei faced Kobe's line that prevented Kobe from cutting inside.
However, Kobe did not stop his offensive pace, but pulled the ball with his left foot as the axis. Lin Fei's defense followed Kobe's movement, but this kind of pull and turn was just a fake move of Kobe, Kobe turned back again, Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei was thrown away.
When Kobe's jersey brushed against Kobe's breakthrough, Lin Fei felt momentary disappointment in his heart, wondering whether he was still poor in front of Kobe's offense after working hard for so long.
But soon Lin Fei shook his disappointment out of his mind, quickly turned around, and chased after Kobe's back. Lin Fei didn't want to give up so easily.
Kobe, who passed Lin Fei, did not choose to make an emergency stop jumper, but chose to hit the inside line. Perhaps Kobe wanted to directly use this ball to destroy the Chinese team. Facing the inside line, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant did not have any fear.
Fans in Istanbul are looking forward to Kobe's moment, while Yao Ming's fans can't bear to see Yao Ming being dunked by Kobe.
However, most people underestimated Yao Ming's determination to defend this time. It seemed that because of this, his bounce increased a lot. Yao Ming jumped up to face Kobe, and his raised hands were like a big net covering Kobe's face.
Yao Ming used his own attitude to tell Kobe that it is not that simple to win the championship.
It was precisely because of Yao Ming's defense that Kobe's movements were delayed. Facing Yao Ming's huge body and blocking area, Kobe subconsciously made a lever dodge.
It was this dodging action of pulling the bar that gave Lin Fei, who was chasing behind him, a chance to defend. He almost jumped up at the free throw line, and stretched his straight right hand as far as possible towards the ball in Kobe's hand.
"Never give up, never!" echoed in his heart, never give up, Lin Fei's potential on the defensive end seemed to be fully stimulated.
The 2.26 Yao Ming not only has an advantage in height, but also has a huge size, just like a huge city wall lying in front of every player who tries to attack.
However, for Kobe, he has long been familiar with such a big man's defense. He has faced Yao Ming's defense too many times. out, and then gently picked the ball up and dialed it out, with the goal pointing directly at the basket.
Kobe's movements are beautiful and not lacking in difficulty. If he can score, he will definitely be at the top ten level, but Lin Fei doesn't want to make Kobe happy.
His finger is getting closer and closer to the rising basketball in the air. James, who is standing at 45 degrees and ready to grab the rebound at any time, does not agree with Lin Fei's supplementary defense. He feels that Lin Fei is doing useless work. It is better to give up chasing defense and wait for an opportunity. It is good to launch a counterattack as soon as possible.
James is not the only one who thinks this way, most people think of Lin Fei's turn and chase in this way.
However, Lin Fei's action told everyone that this was not a useless effort. Soon Lin Fei's big hand that was unwilling to give up defense appeared on the top of the basketball, and a look of disbelief appeared in Kobe's eyes in the next second. , He never expected that Lin Fei could still complete the defense.
come down!
Lin Fei slapped the basketball with his big hand.
Taking off from the free throw line to block the shot, the height of the palm is obviously higher than the basket. If Lin Fei holds the ball in his hand, a slam dunk from the free throw line will be born. Almost no one has ever seen such a long-distance jumping block.
Snapped!
Fingers covered the basketball, the ball immediately changed direction, hit Kobe's body and bounced off the baseline.
The long-distance gliding defense further consumed Lin Fei's physical strength, and he looked very embarrassed when he landed.
"Are you physically fit?"
Lin Fei raised his head to look at Yao Ming, and said firmly, "Brother Yao, I can do it myself, we will surely create a miracle if we work together!" As he spoke, Lin Fei looked firmly at the basket in the opposite half of the court.
The words that got into his ears made Yao Ming slightly stunned. He never thought that one day he would be so close to the highest honor in international basketball. It seemed that everything was in a dream, and what Lin Fei just said brought him out of the dream. Back to reality.
Yao Ming himself didn't realize that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, let's work hard together."
After receiving the serve, Lin Fei quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. There were more than five minutes before the end of the game, and he was behind by seven points. Attacked by himself but used himself to attract the defense and then made a pass. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming leaned on Tyson Chandler and hit a hook.
However, in the next period of time, the US team also paid attention to cooperation rather than blindly individual offense. The US team, which was already stronger by a large margin, became even stronger after using the overall coordination, but the Chinese team's offense also revolved around Lin Fei and Yao Ming played impressively, but this situation is not enough for the Chinese team to create miracles.
"The Chinese team requested a timeout again. There are still 58 seconds before the end of the game. The Chinese team is still behind by five points. Needless to say, the excitement of the past 4 minutes of the game, but for the Chinese team, the past 4 minutes are theirs. Unwilling, they did not further narrow the point difference, only 58 seconds left, the five-point point difference is not so easy to recover, how should coach Deng Huade arrange it?"
What Hoffman cares about is the same as what the fans in front of the TV care about. The on-site director pointed the camera at the Chinese team's bench.
give lin... give lin!
Deng Huade's voice reached the ears of the fans in front of the TV, and such an answer was what they expected.
Bill Wharton looked at the real-time statistical data in his hand, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Lin Fei's personal statistics are a conspicuous 58 points. The single-game scoring record in the international competition has been trampled by Lin Fei. However, Such a statistic failed to bring us a lead, “The Chinese team had a good night, but it wasn’t enough for them. A 10-minute fourth quarter might ruin their lead for the night. No one likes to lose. , but I have to say that the Chinese team is on the verge of failure, even though they have Lin who can no longer be defined in words."
"Everyone cooperates with Lin, and all the ball rights are given to Lin!" Deng Huade emphasized again.
Lin Fei did not respond to Deng Huade's expectant gaze with firm words, sweat dripped from the tip of his hair, every second of rest time was precious to Lin Fei.
The referee's whistle urged the players from both sides to come on stage. With a five-point difference in 58 seconds, the final outcome was in just 58 seconds.
Liu Wei on the bench looked at Lin Fei's back with a complicated expression. For him, he should have been jealous or hated Lin Fei, but now he couldn't think what he thought he should have. It seemed to be getting taller and taller in his eyes, Liu Wei shook his head and wanted to get rid of his absurd thoughts, but he couldn't do it.
The Chinese team served in the frontcourt, and the US team did not press too much, but when Lin Fei received the ball, James and Kobe stood in front of him, while the other three simply guarded the inside and two. 45 degrees sideways.
Lin Fei didn't dribble the ball immediately but straightened up, looking at James and Kobe in front of him.
"Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team!"
The cheering and shouting of a limited number of Chinese team fans gathered into a force, and the five-star red flags flying sporadically in the stands were so red.
Lin Fei bowed slowly, his eyes became sharper and sharper.
James and Kobe moved at the same time and built a huge net in front of Lin Fei. It would be a failure for the proud of them to defend Lin Fei by the two of them. Not being able to defend Lin Fei was undoubtedly the most unacceptable thing in their life for them.
Lin Fei moved very thoroughly. He retreated and half-turned directly to the left side of Kobe's body. Since Kobe and James were almost double-teamed, Kobe could Cope with it calmly, but James was a bit slower because of Kobe's body.
The body collided, and Kobe's body was staggered a little by Lin Fei. At this time, James was in place to defend, but he was the only one left to defend.
Combining the three aspects of the body with speed feints, Lin Fei leaned on James' strong body to cut hard from outside the three-point line to the inside.
However, Lin Fei didn't intend to complete this attack by himself, but chose to pass the ball to another most sure point of attack.
Lin Fei's pass was very stealthy, and the ball passed between his spread legs and came in front of Yao Ming. Faced with such a close-range and concealed pass, Tyson Chandler, who was in charge of defending Yao Ming, had no way at all. Realized for a moment, Tyson Chandler didn't react until Yao Ming got the ball, but Yao Ming had already made a shooting action.
Tyson Chandler wanted to retract his arm, but Yao Ming didn't give him the chance.
He leaned his arm up and listened to the referee's whistle. Yao Ming threw the ball to the basket with one hand.
Boom!
Swish!
Roar!
Accompanied by the basketball hitting the board and entering the basket, Yao Ming’s roar was ferocious. This is the best adjective for Yao Ming’s facial expression at this moment. Although the team did not overtake, such a key goal is very precious to the team. Although the Chinese team In this World Championships, Yao Ming's Chinese team has slowly changed to Lin Fei's Chinese team in most people's eyes, but Yao Ming still hopes that everyone will know his role in this team.
Tyson Chandler waved his hand in frustration. At such a critical moment, he not only let Yao Ming score a goal, but also gave Yao Ming a chance to add a penalty. You must know that Yao Ming's free throws are very accurate, which is equivalent to letting the Chinese team catch up. Three points, but no matter how upset it is, the US team can only accept this fact.
"Brother Yao is doing great!" Lin Fei stretched out his fist and collided with Yao Ming.
"Yao and Lin, the biggest reliance of the Chinese team inside and outside, joined forces again and succeeded. Many people say that this American team is even better than Michael and his team in Barcelona. I never think so. Although they are strong outside, they basically have no inside. , Such a team can’t be called strong at all.” Hoffman associated the situation on the court with the topic of the strongest American men’s basketball team off the court.
"Yes, I think so too. Tyson is good on the defensive end but almost useless on the offensive end. In this game, Yao Tyson's defense is also very embarrassing. Look, Yao has scored 22 points. He and Lin are two people. It almost got 90.00% of the Chinese team's points, which is really an extremely unbalanced statistic, let's look at Yao's free throw." Bill Wharton replied.
Yao Ming, standing on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and the previous images appeared in his mind. At that time, he always led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals. He dare not imagine the current scene, but now he is getting closer and closer to the championship. The closer he got, he didn't want to give up the opportunity, glanced at the basket and shot the ball.
Swish!
Yao Ming heaved a sigh of relief, "Two points, only two points away!" Yao Ming muttered softly and ran to the backcourt. The American team members on the field shouted loudly: "Defense!"
Hearing Yao Ming's voice, Lin Fei was a little surprised. In his impression, Yao Ming would never express his thoughts with such defense. Yao Ming's voice conveyed his desire to win the championship. The corners of Lin Fei's mouth rose slightly, and his arms opened wider.
Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. When Kobe was closely guarded by Lin Fei, Billups passed the ball to James. James, who returned to the small forward position, was very confident facing Ding Jinhui who was defending him. After resisting, he suddenly turned around and cut directly to the inside line. Looking at the basket not far away, James took off towards the frame and a standard one-handed Tomahawk dunk will be born in the Istanbul Arena in the next second.
However, he did not expect Yao Ming to appear within the defensive range at the fastest speed. It was a bit late when James realized Yao Ming's defense. Even though Yao Ming's block was not completely solid, it still had an impact on James' dunk. .
James' dunk bounced off the inside of the basket under Yao Ming's block. Unfortunately, it bounced on Yao Ming's body and flew out of the baseline.
It was less than 20 seconds before the end of the game. As long as the ball fell to the floor, it would give the US team another chance to attack. Once such a thing happened, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence for the Chinese team.
Lin Fei wished he could grow wings and fly to the bottom line to save the ball, but he had no choice but to be anxious, but at this moment a person appeared in Lin Fei's sight.
Wang Zhizhi, the former chasing boy, the big boy who made mistakes, and the returning veteran, although his footsteps have slowed down, although he has lost the bounce of his youth, he has lost the ability to block Admiral Robinson head-on Ability, but at this moment, it was such a veteran who rushed out regardless of his own safety.
Lin Fei immediately became hopeful, even if Wang Zhizhi failed to grab the ball in the end, Lin Fei immediately ran to the bottom line when he thought of it.
Wang Zhizhi hooked the ball behind him and slammed his whole body on the billboard at the bottom line.
The basketball flew over Wang Zhizhi's body and flew back into the field.
Lin Fei threw himself at the basketball!
James and Anthony also rushed to the basketball in the air for the first time.
Lin Fei completely ignored that he was in the route of James and Anthony.
Bang!
Both sides of his body were hit hard. At this moment, Lin Fei felt that he was about to be crushed, and his consciousness seemed to become blurred at this moment. He stretched out his arms as far as possible to the basketball in the air based on his impression. .
When the feeling of basketball came from his fingertips, Lin Fei tried his best to push the ball behind him, and then he was sandwiched between the bodies of James and Anthony and fell to the ground.
Yao Ming did not let the efforts of himself, Wang Zhizhi and Lin Fei be in vain, relying on his height and strength Yao Ming snatched the ball into his hands.
The tense head coach Deng Huade immediately used the last timeout. The situation of Lin Fei and Wang Zhizhi did not look good.
"This 1 minute belongs to the time when Yao belongs to the Chinese team. They are using their actions to prove that they are not willing to let the US team take away their expected fruit. Wang and Lin are not looking good, especially Lin. I just heard a huge I feel like if I was caught between Cameron and LeBron, I think I would be unconscious now, or worse, I might have broken a few bones." Hoffman said.
Wang Zhizhi stood up first, but it looked like his elbow was a little bit broken, the billboards were smashed by Wang Zhizhi, and Lin Fei was a little dizzy, feeling his head was buzzing.
"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Yao Ming walked up to the two of them and asked.
"I'm fine, Lin Fei, are you okay?" Wang Zhizhi shook his head and said.
"I'm fine." Lin Fei shook his head vigorously, his head hurting intermittently.
Back on the bench, the team doctor immediately checked Wang Zhizhi and Lin Fei. The 1-minute timeout passed quickly, and Lin Fei also felt that his head was much better. He rejected Deng Huade's rest proposal and Lin Fei appeared again. Finally, 19 seconds, no mistakes can be made.
"Lin came on the field with an injury. It seems that the injury is not a problem. In the last 19 seconds, the two-point difference is now under pressure from the US team. They must defend the ball, but the inside Yao played his own in this 1 minute. It's difficult to rely on Tyson alone, and Lin on the outside is a huge threat, how does old coach K choose to defend?" Hoffman asked a question, and looked at the court with the idea of looking for an answer.
"Come on Chinese team!" The sound of cheering came and went, and the decibels became louder and louder.
Lin Fei was not in a hurry to attack, and the difference between two points was not too big. Although it was safer to choose two points, compared with the US team's large number of soldiers, the Chinese team had already lost the capital to play overtime, so for the Chinese team It is almost certain to lose in overtime.
Kobe and James tried to come up to double-team. At this time, Yao Ming on the inside pulled to the top of the free throw line with the help of Wang Zhizhi's cover, and Lin Fei passed the ball almost at the same time.
"Yao pulls high, Lin chooses to pass, Yao has a chance..." Bill Wharton shouted.
Lin Fei's choice to pass the ball was beyond the expectations of James and Kobe. In the impression of all of them, Lin Fei basically would not choose to pass the ball at critical moments, and almost 100% chose individual singles.
Lin Fei's current pass caught them a little by surprise, and directly affected Lin Fei's defense.
For Lin Fei, a little loophole is enough to complete a fatal blow. After passing the ball, Lin Fei did not stop his footsteps, but raised his speed in the shortest time after a feint of his upper body.
Only then did Kobe and James realize that it was not good, but everyone knew that Lin Fei could not be allowed to run without the ball, especially Kobe, who knew very well that Lin Fei could run without the ball.
"Replenish defense, make up defense!"
Kobe yelled.
Five seconds into the end of the game, Yao Ming caught Lin Fei's pass steadily, and Tyson Chandler also rushed in front of him. Yao Ming did not choose to force the shot but received the ball Come down, "Trust Him!"
Yao Ming didn't know why he believed in Lin Fei so much. Even though he was still not sure that Lin Fei could run to the position he had just mentioned during the timeout, he still chose to pass the ball and he believed that Lin Fei would run to that position.
Lin Fei, who was still on the three-point line a second ago, had already appeared in Yao Ming's field of vision. Yao Ming felt that all the worries in his heart dissipated at this moment.
run!
run!
run!
This was the only thought in Lin Fei's heart. When the basketball appeared in his eyes, Lin Fei's speed became faster, which surprised Kobe and James who were chasing after him.
The three-point line in the right bottom corner, this is the position he and Yao Ming mentioned during the timeout.
Stretching out his hands to catch the ball steadily, with the fierce friction between the third generation of the soul and the floor, Lin Fei stopped perfectly outside the three-point line in the right bottom corner.
The moment Lin Fei received the ball, the fans of the American team felt a bit of coolness. This kind of Lin Fei was very familiar to them, and they saw Lin Fei who was extremely cold-blooded at the critical moment in their impression.
Jumping with both feet on the ground, holding the ball high in his hand, Lin Fei's shooting hand looks extraordinarily perfect under the lights of Istanbul.
James jumped at Lin Fei!
Kobe jumped at Lin Fei!
Anthony jumped at Lin Fei!
However, in Lin Fei's world at this moment, only he, the ball and the basket in the distance are left.
With a flick of the finger, the basketball quickly left the palm and flew into the air. Everything was so familiar to Lin Fei, who had already made many key goals.
"Enter!"
Basketball carried Lin Fei's hopes, the efforts and expectations of his teammates, and the thoughts of generations of Chinese basketball fans to the basket!
The ball flying higher and higher seems to become the center of the whole world, drawing a perfect arc with the gaze of hundreds of millions of people.
Lin Fei, who landed, still maintained the last-minute shot posture, looking along his fingertips, the basketball did not disappoint him.
Swish!
At this moment, the clear sound of scraping the net seemed to be the only sound in the world.
"Lin, it's still Lin, the craziest, the best and the most important... He gave the US team a heavy blow, he proved himself again, maybe for him there is no need to prove, unique, he is destined to become an eternal legend ..." Bill Wharton was not depressed because his country was lore, but roared passionately for Lin Fei's goal.
The Istanbul Arena, which was silent for a moment, soon became crazy, and the overwhelming cheers stung the nerves of the Americans. It was only 0.6 seconds before the end of the game, and they had used up all the timeouts and could only serve in the backcourt.
Failure has basically become a foregone conclusion. They never imagined such a situation, but now it has become a reality.
In the end, the US team didn't even have a chance to make a shot before the whistle sounded for the end of the game.
The rest of the Chinese team rushed towards Lin Fei. Lin Fei was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's miracle.
"Let's congratulate Lin and the Chinese team. They have created a miracle that belongs to the East and a myth that belongs to the Chinese. Let us always remember this night and the amazing Lin. At this moment, he is the king of the world!" Huo said. Fuman took off his headset and quietly looked at Lin Fei who was surrounded by his teammates in the middle of the field.
Kobe glanced at the center of the field celebrating wildly and turned his head to the player tunnel. James and Wade looked at each other and shook their heads, followed Kobe to the player tunnel.
"You are the best!" The FIBA president extended his hand with a professional smile.
"Thank you!" Lin Fei's answer was simple.
When the president of FIBA put the gold medal of the World Championships on his neck, Lin Fei felt that his heart became calm. This year is extremely important to him. His first child is about to be born. Won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career, won the first NBA championship, and even won the World Championships, all of which happened in just one year.
After the game, when the old coach K faced the media to interview why the US team lost, he only said one word - LIN!
And Yao Ming, a member of the miracle-making Chinese team, the absolute leader of the Chinese national team for nearly ten years, also only said one word when the media interviewed him about the reason for the miracle--LIN!
Lin Fei's name has almost monopolized all sports newspapers and even the Times.
The front page of the official website of FIBA, the home page of the NBA official website, the front page headline of the "Los Angeles Times", the home page of the ESPN official website, the home page of Yahoo Sports, and the front page headline of the "New York Times" all used what Bill Wharton said in the final commentary of the game. The phrase "king of the world--LIN" became the title of this game.
The king of the world--LIN has almost become the focus of discussion among basketball fans all over the world.
However, just three days after the Chinese miracle in the World Championship finals, James ignited a new round of storms and brought people's attention back to the United States.

PS: I don’t want to say anything about the update. All updates will be made in the next two days on Saturday and Sunday. The finale should be in the next few days!
(End of this chapter)
Only one minute into the fourth quarter, the biggest problem was magnified to the fullest. Liu Wei was first directly intercepted by Billups in the backcourt, and then the next attack failed to pass halftime in eight seconds. Two consecutive mistakes made the United States The team completed the overtake in an instant.
The head coach of the Chinese team, Deng Huade, roared at the players on the field. In the third attack of the Chinese team, with the cooperation of the players, Liu Wei finally took the ball across the half court. When he came to the half court, he tried to pass the ball to When Yao Ming on the inside was in the hands, Yao Ming was being defended by Kevin Love.
Defense around the front has always been the most troublesome problem for Yao Ming. Love's height disadvantage happens to give Love a certain advantage in the defensive end.
Liu Wei's tentative false pass failed to make Derrick Rose careless. Seeing that the offensive time was getting shorter and shorter, Liu Wei seemed extremely helpless under Rose's personal harassment.
"The Chinese team without Lin is unbelievable. They urgently need to solve the problem that Lin is not on the court and hand over the ball to Yao. Pick-and-roll coverage may be a good choice." Hoffman expressed his thoughts, Deng Huade on the sidelines really asked for this, but the players on the field failed to implement such a seemingly simple tactic. When Yao Ming used the screen to find an opportunity to catch the ball, there were only 3 seconds left before the attack time. Yao Ming made a move before he had time to adjust.
Bang!
The sound of iron striking soon sounded, and Yao Ming shook his hands angrily and ran to the backcourt.
Kevin Love easily protected the backboard and passed the ball to Derek Rose. Rose quickly took the ball across the half court. Facing Liu Wei's defensive speed, Rose immediately accelerated. Liu Wei Very helpless about this, Rose left him a gust of wind when he responded defensively.
Rose, who easily passed Liu Wei, glanced at the situation inside and then plunged into the inside without hesitation. Although Derrick Rose is of average height, his ability to swipe the basket is top-notch among the new generation of NBA players. Ross is the Windy City's hope for revival.
Facing Yao Ming's supplementary defense, Ross pulled the bar to the limit and picked the ball into the basket. Huge cheers immediately erupted in the Istanbul Arena.
After landing, Derrick Rose looked over Liu Wei's eyes and looked directly at Lin Fei, who was on the bench of the Chinese team.
Lin Fei followed the players on the field all the time. When Rose looked over, the two people's eyes met at this moment.
The corners of Derek Rose's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes clearly told Lin Fei that he was expecting Lin Fei to play.
Ross was looking forward to Lin Fei's response, who knew that Lin Fei took a sip of the Gatorade drink as if nothing had happened, and then looked away.
"Proud guy!" Rose couldn't help spitting in a low voice.
There is a saying that it is impossible to step into the same river twice. Compared with the US team’s continuous full-court press from the fourth quarter, the Chinese team has its own way to deal with it. Two people in the frontcourt helped cover Liu Wei’s lead. The ball passed the half court, and Yao Ming did not directly station in the penalty area, but pulled to the middle distance of 45 degrees. This position is conducive to Yao Ming's offensive. After all, Yao Ming is not a player who loses his threat when he leaves the basket like Howard.
With the help of the screen, Liu Wei bypassed Rose and rushed inside, then made a counter-pass and passed the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming catches the ball and makes a mid-range shot. Love, who is almost floor-like, doesn't have much impact on Yao Ming's shooting. After all, Yao Ming's height advantage is obvious and he leans back slightly. Love has no way to defend and can only watch. Watching the ball fly over his head.
Swish!
The basketball got into the net cleanly, and this goal somewhat eased the decline of the Chinese team after the fourth quarter.
However, the American team showed morale in the fourth quarter and did not slow down their progress because of Yao Ming's goal.
Melon Anthony’s signature offense is relying on the defender to use his big butt to hold it up and then stage a turnaround jumper. Rose’s speed makes the Chinese team’s defense line look like a turtle. If Yao Ming is not supporting the point difference, it may have been It turned into the Chinese team falling behind by [-] points.
When the game came to 6 minutes and 34 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team was 90:100 behind the US team by [-] points. Deng Huade on the sidelines had already ignored too much and directly requested a long timeout.
At the scene, many fans from the American team were dancing and cheering with the Stars and Stripes in their hands. In sharp contrast, there were fans and overseas students from China.
"It's like riding a roller coaster. Although there are still six and a half minutes left in the game, a double-digit lead is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the morale of the US team. Even if Lin's hot state in the first three quarters does not necessarily help The Chinese team rewrites the score." Hoffman looked at the Chinese team's bench with some concern, the Chinese team's greatest reliance on creating a miracle was Lin Fei, but can Lin Fei do it?
"Even if the Chinese team can't create miracles, they have already left people with unforgettable memories. For all those who love basketball, this game is already very precious." Bill Wharton said lightly, his eyes and Hoffman also stopped on Lin Fei who stood up.
"No one can take away our championship, the championship will always be ours!" The shouts of the American fans on the scene hit the eardrums of everyone in the Chinese team. It came up like a tide.
After a timeout, Lin Fei stepped on the floor again, and there was a lot of cheers in the Istanbul arena. Kobe squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Fei who was beyond the three-point line. After saying something, he speeded up and ran to the front court.
After Billups brought the ball across half court, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe. As the most attractive player on the US team in the world, Kobe immediately burst into cheers when he held the ball.
Kobe protected the ball with one hand and raised his left hand to indicate that he wanted to play singles, and the other four members of the US team immediately chose to pull away.
Lin Fei's improvement on the defensive end has already been recognized by everyone, but Kobe's offensive ability is more about blocking as much as possible and then betting on Kobe's luck. It is really too difficult to really block Kobe. The center of gravity kept a distance of less than half a body from Kobe, waiting for Kobe's next move.
As Lin Fei's old big brother, he and Lin Fei often trained together during the offseason. He was very familiar with everything about Lin Fei, and he didn't underestimate Kobe when facing Lin Fei's defense.
The expression on Kobe's face was so cold that people could feel the chills. He continuously crossed steps in front of him, and the rhythm changed from fast to slow. Lin Fei didn't dare to attack casually. Once he lost his defensive position, it was very likely that he would It was Kobe's goal. Now the Chinese team is [-] points behind. If Kobe makes another easy shot, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the Chinese team whose morale is at a low point.
Staring at Kobe's shoulders, he moved his left foot back a quarter to form a simple misaligned stance.
Seeing Lin Fei's appearance, Kobe still maintains his own rhythm, but the fast rhythm of dribbling is slowly increasing, and suddenly two fast-paced crossovers are accompanied by a movement of the foot, which makes the defensive end Lin Fei, who was highly concentrated, responded immediately, but Kobe was waiting for this moment.
With a heavy slap with his left hand, the basketball quickly slipped back from his crotch, and he lifted the ball with both hands with a shake of his shoulders. Lin Fei, who had already lost his position, forcibly moved a step and jumped up, but at this time Kobe took the ball with his left foot as the axis. Stepping down with his right foot, he took a step under Lin Fei's arm, then jumped up with one foot and threw the ball.
Lin Fei turned around immediately, but what Kobe left him was an image of a goal.
"Wo... oh... Lin has done his best, but obviously Bryant is a little more cunning. This is Bryant telling Lin that he is still the scariest guy on the planet." Hoffman said Said.
"Don't try to take away the championship!"
A familiar voice entered Lin Fei's ears, it was Kobe's unique voice.
Lin Fei didn't care. He shook his head and immediately threw out the messy thoughts in his mind. Now, scoring goals is the most important thing for him. Only scoring can relieve the pressured atmosphere of the team.
After receiving Yao Ming's serve, Lin Fei slowly pushed forward, and Kobe posted it immediately.
The cold eyes that Kobe stared at Lin Fei seemed to freeze Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stared back without showing any weakness, "Isn't the game over now? You once told me not to give up until the last moment. Today I will tell you with actions that I will not give up, even at the last second."
Almost at the end of the speech, Lin Fei jumped directly in front of Kobe, and then made a fearless three-pointer. Everything came so suddenly that Kobe was completely unprepared for Lin Fei's choice.
In most people's eyes, Lin Fei's shooting was too sloppy. Only Lin Fei himself knew whether his choice was right or not. Soon the basketball crossed the sky above the Istanbul Stadium and entered the ball six meters away cleanly. basket.
Lin Fei's shot was too sudden, not only Kobe Bryant but also the fans were a little unexpected, but the goal has come.
"Crazy guy, no one has Lin's crazy heart. He is motivating his teammates with actions. The game is not over yet. The point difference is back to single digits. There are 5 minutes and 42 seconds before the end of the game. China The team is still nine points behind." Bill Wharton looked at the court expectantly.
Kobe didn't speak, just glanced at Lin Fei and ran forward.
In the next attack, the U.S. team really handed over the ball to Kobe, and Lin Fei faced Kobe's attack again.
Looking at Lin Fei's position, Kobe began to dribble, almost exactly the same as the previous time, with a combination of speed and slowness. The overall rhythm was very steady, and he adjusted his offensive rhythm from time to time according to the changes in Lin Fei's defensive position.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the basketball collided with the ground again and again, Lin Fei's defensive attention was also put into defense little by little.
Kobe played back his understanding of Lin Fei's defense in his mind, and slowly lowered his body's center of gravity. The basketball shuttled back and forth under Kobe's crotch like an elf!
Facing Kobe's dribble, all Lin Fei could do was wait.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
After hitting the ground three times in a row, Kobe suddenly changed direction and sprinted towards Lin Fei's right under Lin Fei's nose.
With his chest straightened out, Lin Fei faced Kobe's line that prevented Kobe from cutting inside.
However, Kobe did not stop his offensive pace, but pulled the ball with his left foot as the axis. Lin Fei's defense followed Kobe's movement, but this kind of pull and turn was just a fake move of Kobe, Kobe turned back again, Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei was thrown away.
When Kobe's jersey brushed against Kobe's breakthrough, Lin Fei felt momentary disappointment in his heart, wondering whether he was still poor in front of Kobe's offense after working hard for so long.
But soon Lin Fei shook his disappointment out of his mind, quickly turned around, and chased after Kobe's back. Lin Fei didn't want to give up so easily.
Kobe, who passed Lin Fei, did not choose to make an emergency stop jumper, but chose to hit the inside line. Perhaps Kobe wanted to directly use this ball to destroy the Chinese team. Facing the inside line, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant did not have any fear.
Fans in Istanbul are looking forward to Kobe's moment, while Yao Ming's fans can't bear to see Yao Ming being dunked by Kobe.
However, most people underestimated Yao Ming's determination to defend this time. It seemed that because of this, his bounce increased a lot. Yao Ming jumped up to face Kobe, and his raised hands were like a big net covering Kobe's face.
Yao Ming used his own attitude to tell Kobe that it is not that simple to win the championship.
It was precisely because of Yao Ming's defense that Kobe's movements were delayed. Facing Yao Ming's huge body and blocking area, Kobe subconsciously made a lever dodge.
It was this dodging action of pulling the bar that gave Lin Fei, who was chasing behind him, a chance to defend. He almost jumped up at the free throw line, and stretched his straight right hand as far as possible towards the ball in Kobe's hand.
"Never give up, never!" echoed in his heart, never give up, Lin Fei's potential on the defensive end seemed to be fully stimulated.
The 2.26 Yao Ming not only has an advantage in height, but also has a huge size, just like a huge city wall lying in front of every player who tries to attack.
However, for Kobe, he has long been familiar with such a big man's defense. He has faced Yao Ming's defense too many times. out, and then gently picked the ball up and dialed it out, with the goal pointing directly at the basket.
Kobe's movements are beautiful and not lacking in difficulty. If he can score, he will definitely be at the top ten level, but Lin Fei doesn't want to make Kobe happy.
His finger is getting closer and closer to the rising basketball in the air. James, who is standing at 45 degrees and ready to grab the rebound at any time, does not agree with Lin Fei's supplementary defense. He feels that Lin Fei is doing useless work. It is better to give up chasing defense and wait for an opportunity. It is good to launch a counterattack as soon as possible.
James is not the only one who thinks this way, most people think of Lin Fei's turn and chase in this way.
However, Lin Fei's action told everyone that this was not a useless effort. Soon Lin Fei's big hand that was unwilling to give up defense appeared on the top of the basketball, and a look of disbelief appeared in Kobe's eyes in the next second. , He never expected that Lin Fei could still complete the defense.
come down!
Lin Fei slapped the basketball with his big hand.
Taking off from the free throw line to block the shot, the height of the palm is obviously higher than the basket. If Lin Fei holds the ball in his hand, a slam dunk from the free throw line will be born. Almost no one has ever seen such a long-distance jumping block.
Snapped!
Fingers covered the basketball, the ball immediately changed direction, hit Kobe's body and bounced off the baseline.
The long-distance gliding defense further consumed Lin Fei's physical strength, and he looked very embarrassed when he landed.
"Are you physically fit?"
Lin Fei raised his head to look at Yao Ming, and said firmly, "Brother Yao, I can do it myself, we will surely create a miracle if we work together!" As he spoke, Lin Fei looked firmly at the basket in the opposite half of the court.
The words that got into his ears made Yao Ming slightly stunned. He never thought that one day he would be so close to the highest honor in international basketball. It seemed that everything was in a dream, and what Lin Fei just said brought him out of the dream. Back to reality.
Yao Ming himself didn't realize that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, let's work hard together."
After receiving the serve, Lin Fei quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. There were more than five minutes before the end of the game, and he was behind by seven points. Attacked by himself but used himself to attract the defense and then made a pass. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming leaned on Tyson Chandler and hit a hook.
However, in the next period of time, the US team also paid attention to cooperation rather than blindly individual offense. The US team, which was already stronger by a large margin, became even stronger after using the overall coordination, but the Chinese team's offense also revolved around Lin Fei and Yao Ming played impressively, but this situation is not enough for the Chinese team to create miracles.
"The Chinese team requested a timeout again. There are still 58 seconds before the end of the game. The Chinese team is still behind by five points. Needless to say, the excitement of the past 4 minutes of the game, but for the Chinese team, the past 4 minutes are theirs. Unwilling, they did not further narrow the point difference, only 58 seconds left, the five-point point difference is not so easy to recover, how should coach Deng Huade arrange it?"
What Hoffman cares about is the same as what the fans in front of the TV care about. The on-site director pointed the camera at the Chinese team's bench.
give lin... give lin!
Deng Huade's voice reached the ears of the fans in front of the TV, and such an answer was what they expected.
Bill Wharton looked at the real-time statistical data in his hand, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Lin Fei's personal statistics are a conspicuous 58 points. The single-game scoring record in the international competition has been trampled by Lin Fei. However, Such a statistic failed to bring us a lead, “The Chinese team had a good night, but it wasn’t enough for them. A 10-minute fourth quarter might ruin their lead for the night. No one likes to lose. , but I have to say that the Chinese team is on the verge of failure, even though they have Lin who can no longer be defined in words."
"Everyone cooperates with Lin, and all the ball rights are given to Lin!" Deng Huade emphasized again.
Lin Fei did not respond to Deng Huade's expectant gaze with firm words, sweat dripped from the tip of his hair, every second of rest time was precious to Lin Fei.
The referee's whistle urged the players from both sides to come on stage. With a five-point difference in 58 seconds, the final outcome was in just 58 seconds.
Liu Wei on the bench looked at Lin Fei's back with a complicated expression. For him, he should have been jealous or hated Lin Fei, but now he couldn't think what he thought he should have. It seemed to be getting taller and taller in his eyes, Liu Wei shook his head and wanted to get rid of his absurd thoughts, but he couldn't do it.
The Chinese team served in the frontcourt, and the US team did not press too much, but when Lin Fei received the ball, James and Kobe stood in front of him, while the other three simply guarded the inside and two. 45 degrees sideways.
Lin Fei didn't dribble the ball immediately but straightened up, looking at James and Kobe in front of him.
"Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team!"
The cheering and shouting of a limited number of Chinese team fans gathered into a force, and the five-star red flags flying sporadically in the stands were so red.
Lin Fei bowed slowly, his eyes became sharper and sharper.
James and Kobe moved at the same time and built a huge net in front of Lin Fei. It would be a failure for the proud of them to defend Lin Fei by the two of them. Not being able to defend Lin Fei was undoubtedly the most unacceptable thing in their life for them.
Lin Fei moved very thoroughly. He retreated and half-turned directly to the left side of Kobe's body. Since Kobe and James were almost double-teamed, Kobe could Cope with it calmly, but James was a bit slower because of Kobe's body.
The body collided, and Kobe's body was staggered a little by Lin Fei. At this time, James was in place to defend, but he was the only one left to defend.
Combining the three aspects of the body with speed feints, Lin Fei leaned on James' strong body to cut hard from outside the three-point line to the inside.
However, Lin Fei didn't intend to complete this attack by himself, but chose to pass the ball to another most sure point of attack.
Lin Fei's pass was very stealthy, and the ball passed between his spread legs and came in front of Yao Ming. Faced with such a close-range and concealed pass, Tyson Chandler, who was in charge of defending Yao Ming, had no way at all. Realized for a moment, Tyson Chandler didn't react until Yao Ming got the ball, but Yao Ming had already made a shooting action.
Tyson Chandler wanted to retract his arm, but Yao Ming didn't give him the chance.
He leaned his arm up and listened to the referee's whistle. Yao Ming threw the ball to the basket with one hand.
Boom!
Swish!
Roar!
Accompanied by the basketball hitting the board and entering the basket, Yao Ming’s roar was ferocious. This is the best adjective for Yao Ming’s facial expression at this moment. Although the team did not overtake, such a key goal is very precious to the team. Although the Chinese team In this World Championships, Yao Ming's Chinese team has slowly changed to Lin Fei's Chinese team in most people's eyes, but Yao Ming still hopes that everyone will know his role in this team.
Tyson Chandler waved his hand in frustration. At such a critical moment, he not only let Yao Ming score a goal, but also gave Yao Ming a chance to add a penalty. You must know that Yao Ming's free throws are very accurate, which is equivalent to letting the Chinese team catch up. Three points, but no matter how upset it is, the US team can only accept this fact.
"Brother Yao is doing great!" Lin Fei stretched out his fist and collided with Yao Ming.
"Yao and Lin, the biggest reliance of the Chinese team inside and outside, joined forces again and succeeded. Many people say that this American team is even better than Michael and his team in Barcelona. I never think so. Although they are strong outside, they basically have no inside. , Such a team can’t be called strong at all.” Hoffman associated the situation on the court with the topic of the strongest American men’s basketball team off the court.
"Yes, I think so too. Tyson is good on the defensive end but almost useless on the offensive end. In this game, Yao Tyson's defense is also very embarrassing. Look, Yao has scored 22 points. He and Lin are two people. It almost got 90.00% of the Chinese team's points, which is really an extremely unbalanced statistic, let's look at Yao's free throw." Bill Wharton replied.
Yao Ming, standing on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and the previous images appeared in his mind. At that time, he always led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals. He dare not imagine the current scene, but now he is getting closer and closer to the championship. The closer he got, he didn't want to give up the opportunity, glanced at the basket and shot the ball.
Swish!
Yao Ming heaved a sigh of relief, "Two points, only two points away!" Yao Ming muttered softly and ran to the backcourt. The American team members on the field shouted loudly: "Defense!"
Hearing Yao Ming's voice, Lin Fei was a little surprised. In his impression, Yao Ming would never express his thoughts with such defense. Yao Ming's voice conveyed his desire to win the championship. The corners of Lin Fei's mouth rose slightly, and his arms opened wider.
Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. When Kobe was closely guarded by Lin Fei, Billups passed the ball to James. James, who returned to the small forward position, was very confident facing Ding Jinhui who was defending him. After resisting, he suddenly turned around and cut directly to the inside line. Looking at the basket not far away, James took off towards the frame and a standard one-handed Tomahawk dunk will be born in the Istanbul Arena in the next second.
However, he did not expect Yao Ming to appear within the defensive range at the fastest speed. It was a bit late when James realized Yao Ming's defense. Even though Yao Ming's block was not completely solid, it still had an impact on James' dunk. .
James' dunk bounced off the inside of the basket under Yao Ming's block. Unfortunately, it bounced on Yao Ming's body and flew out of the baseline.
It was less than 20 seconds before the end of the game. As long as the ball fell to the floor, it would give the US team another chance to attack. Once such a thing happened, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence for the Chinese team.
Lin Fei wished he could grow wings and fly to the bottom line to save the ball, but he had no choice but to be anxious, but at this moment a person appeared in Lin Fei's sight.
Wang Zhizhi, the former chasing boy, the big boy who made mistakes, and the returning veteran, although his footsteps have slowed down, although he has lost the bounce of his youth, he has lost the ability to block Admiral Robinson head-on Ability, but at this moment, it was such a veteran who rushed out regardless of his own safety.
Lin Fei immediately became hopeful, even if Wang Zhizhi failed to grab the ball in the end, Lin Fei immediately ran to the bottom line when he thought of it.
Wang Zhizhi hooked the ball behind him and slammed his whole body on the billboard at the bottom line.
The basketball flew over Wang Zhizhi's body and flew back into the field.
Lin Fei threw himself at the basketball!
James and Anthony also rushed to the basketball in the air for the first time.
Lin Fei completely ignored that he was in the route of James and Anthony.
Bang!
Both sides of his body were hit hard. At this moment, Lin Fei felt that he was about to be crushed, and his consciousness seemed to become blurred at this moment. He stretched out his arms as far as possible to the basketball in the air based on his impression. .
When the feeling of basketball came from his fingertips, Lin Fei tried his best to push the ball behind him, and then he was sandwiched between the bodies of James and Anthony and fell to the ground.
Yao Ming did not let the efforts of himself, Wang Zhizhi and Lin Fei be in vain, relying on his height and strength Yao Ming snatched the ball into his hands.
The tense head coach Deng Huade immediately used the last timeout. The situation of Lin Fei and Wang Zhizhi did not look good.
"This 1 minute belongs to the time when Yao belongs to the Chinese team. They are using their actions to prove that they are not willing to let the US team take away their expected fruit. Wang and Lin are not looking good, especially Lin. I just heard a huge I feel like if I was caught between Cameron and LeBron, I think I would be unconscious now, or worse, I might have broken a few bones." Hoffman said.
Wang Zhizhi stood up first, but it looked like his elbow was a little bit broken, the billboards were smashed by Wang Zhizhi, and Lin Fei was a little dizzy, feeling his head was buzzing.
"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Yao Ming walked up to the two of them and asked.
"I'm fine, Lin Fei, are you okay?" Wang Zhizhi shook his head and said.
"I'm fine." Lin Fei shook his head vigorously, his head hurting intermittently.
Back on the bench, the team doctor immediately checked Wang Zhizhi and Lin Fei. The 1-minute timeout passed quickly, and Lin Fei also felt that his head was much better. He rejected Deng Huade's rest proposal and Lin Fei appeared again. Finally, 19 seconds, no mistakes can be made.
"Lin came on the field with an injury. It seems that the injury is not a problem. In the last 19 seconds, the two-point difference is now under pressure from the US team. They must defend the ball, but the inside Yao played his own in this 1 minute. It's difficult to rely on Tyson alone, and Lin on the outside is a huge threat, how does old coach K choose to defend?" Hoffman asked a question, and looked at the court with the idea of looking for an answer.
"Come on Chinese team!" The sound of cheering came and went, and the decibels became louder and louder.
Lin Fei was not in a hurry to attack, and the difference between two points was not too big. Although it was safer to choose two points, compared with the US team's large number of soldiers, the Chinese team had already lost the capital to play overtime, so for the Chinese team It is almost certain to lose in overtime.
Kobe and James tried to come up to double-team. At this time, Yao Ming on the inside pulled to the top of the free throw line with the help of Wang Zhizhi's cover, and Lin Fei passed the ball almost at the same time.
"Yao pulls high, Lin chooses to pass, Yao has a chance..." Bill Wharton shouted.
Lin Fei's choice to pass the ball was beyond the expectations of James and Kobe. In the impression of all of them, Lin Fei basically would not choose to pass the ball at critical moments, and almost 100% chose individual singles.
Lin Fei's current pass caught them a little by surprise, and directly affected Lin Fei's defense.
For Lin Fei, a little loophole is enough to complete a fatal blow. After passing the ball, Lin Fei did not stop his footsteps, but raised his speed in the shortest time after a feint of his upper body.
Only then did Kobe and James realize that it was not good, but everyone knew that Lin Fei could not be allowed to run without the ball, especially Kobe, who knew very well that Lin Fei could run without the ball.
"Replenish defense, make up defense!"
Kobe yelled.
Five seconds into the end of the game, Yao Ming caught Lin Fei's pass steadily, and Tyson Chandler also rushed in front of him. Yao Ming did not choose to force the shot but received the ball Come down, "Trust Him!"
Yao Ming didn't know why he believed in Lin Fei so much. Even though he was still not sure that Lin Fei could run to the position he had just mentioned during the timeout, he still chose to pass the ball and he believed that Lin Fei would run to that position.
Lin Fei, who was still on the three-point line a second ago, had already appeared in Yao Ming's field of vision. Yao Ming felt that all the worries in his heart dissipated at this moment.
run!
run!
run!
This was the only thought in Lin Fei's heart. When the basketball appeared in his eyes, Lin Fei's speed became faster, which surprised Kobe and James who were chasing after him.
The three-point line in the right bottom corner, this is the position he and Yao Ming mentioned during the timeout.
Stretching out his hands to catch the ball steadily, with the fierce friction between the third generation of the soul and the floor, Lin Fei stopped perfectly outside the three-point line in the right bottom corner.
The moment Lin Fei received the ball, the fans of the American team felt a bit of coolness. This kind of Lin Fei was very familiar to them, and they saw Lin Fei who was extremely cold-blooded at the critical moment in their impression.
Jumping with both feet on the ground, holding the ball high in his hand, Lin Fei's shooting hand looks extraordinarily perfect under the lights of Istanbul.
James jumped at Lin Fei!
Kobe jumped at Lin Fei!
Anthony jumped at Lin Fei!
However, in Lin Fei's world at this moment, only he, the ball and the basket in the distance are left.
With a flick of the finger, the basketball quickly left the palm and flew into the air. Everything was so familiar to Lin Fei, who had already made many key goals.
"Enter!"
Basketball carried Lin Fei's hopes, the efforts and expectations of his teammates, and the thoughts of generations of Chinese basketball fans to the basket!
The ball flying higher and higher seems to become the center of the whole world, drawing a perfect arc with the gaze of hundreds of millions of people.
Lin Fei, who landed, still maintained the last-minute shot posture, looking along his fingertips, the basketball did not disappoint him.
Swish!
At this moment, the clear sound of scraping the net seemed to be the only sound in the world.
"Lin, it's still Lin, the craziest, the best and the most important... He gave the US team a heavy blow, he proved himself again, maybe for him there is no need to prove, unique, he is destined to become an eternal legend ..." Bill Wharton was not depressed because his country was lore, but roared passionately for Lin Fei's goal.
The Istanbul Arena, which was silent for a moment, soon became crazy, and the overwhelming cheers stung the nerves of the Americans. It was only 0.6 seconds before the end of the game, and they had used up all the timeouts and could only serve in the backcourt.
Failure has basically become a foregone conclusion. They never imagined such a situation, but now it has become a reality.
In the end, the US team didn't even have a chance to make a shot before the whistle sounded for the end of the game.
The rest of the Chinese team rushed towards Lin Fei. Lin Fei was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's miracle.
"Let's congratulate Lin and the Chinese team. They have created a miracle that belongs to the East and a myth that belongs to the Chinese. Let us always remember this night and the amazing Lin. At this moment, he is the king of the world!" Huo said. Fuman took off his headset and quietly looked at Lin Fei who was surrounded by his teammates in the middle of the field.
Kobe glanced at the center of the field celebrating wildly and turned his head to the player tunnel. James and Wade looked at each other and shook their heads, followed Kobe to the player tunnel.
"You are the best!" The FIBA president extended his hand with a professional smile.
"Thank you!" Lin Fei's answer was simple.
When the president of FIBA put the gold medal of the World Championships on his neck, Lin Fei felt that his heart became calm. This year is extremely important to him. His first child is about to be born. Won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career, won the first NBA championship, and even won the World Championships, all of which happened in just one year.
After the game, when the old coach K faced the media to interview why the US team lost, he only said one word - LIN!
And Yao Ming, a member of the miracle-making Chinese team, the absolute leader of the Chinese national team for nearly ten years, also only said one word when the media interviewed him about the reason for the miracle--LIN!
Lin Fei's name has almost monopolized all sports newspapers and even the Times.
The front page of the official website of FIBA, the home page of the NBA official website, the front page headline of the "Los Angeles Times", the home page of the ESPN official website, the home page of Yahoo Sports, and the front page headline of the "New York Times" all used what Bill Wharton said in the final commentary of the game. The phrase "king of the world--LIN" became the title of this game.
The king of the world--LIN has almost become the focus of discussion among basketball fans all over the world.
However, just three days after the Chinese miracle in the World Championship finals, James ignited a new round of storms and brought people's attention back to the United States.
