Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 539 Suppressing the "Fourth Dream Team"

"12:7", the Chinese team leads the "Dream Four" by five points.

In the opening four minutes or so, the Chinese team has been playing against the US team, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the audience who were eating melons before the game.

Jason Kidd, who always focused on assists, saw that his teammates couldn't start the game, so he suddenly threw a three-pointer near the top of the arc and made it!
"12:10", the "Dream Team Four" was only two points behind the Chinese team, and their morale was greatly boosted.

With Liu Yudong's missed mid-range shot, the "Dream Team Four" launched a fast-breaking counterattack. Ray Allen received a pass from Kidd and made a layup in the air, rewriting the score to "12:12" "flat.

Zhou Yu murmured inwardly that it was not good, once the group of NBA stars got excited, the situation would get out of hand.

In the next round, Zhou Yu suddenly changed direction and accelerated, passed Mourning in one step, rushed straight to the penalty area, used "dream steps" to shake Garnett, and successfully threw the ball into the basket.

"14:12", the Chinese team took the lead again.

Although the members of the "Dream Team Four" were a little impatient, they had to continue to play team basketball under the strict supervision of the head coach Tomjanovich.

After a few rounds of breakthroughs, Houston, who ran to the bottom corner of one side, had a chance. When he caught the ball, he made a three-point shot. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"15:14", "Dream Team Four" surpassed the Chinese team by one point.

Zhou Yu saw that the American team was gaining momentum, so he continued to start the individual scoring mode, holding the ball and continuing to rush inside.

Followed closely by Mourning all the way, Zhou Yu took a big step and hit the basket with a chic and elegant "running shot"!

"16:15", the two sides entered the stage of alternating leads, and the score was extremely anxious.

Under Zhou Yu's strong performance, the Chinese team never let the "Dream Four" open the score in the first quarter. Not only that, Zhou Yu also used precise and powerful long passes to instigate several sharp shots. The fast-break counterattack caught the US team by surprise.

At the end of the first quarter, when the electronic boom sounded, the score was fixed at "26:23", and the Chinese team led the US team by three points!

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes to fight. Tomjanovich originally thought that the level of substitute players of the "Dream Four" team was much higher than that of the Chinese team, and it was logical to open the score.

But he never expected that the substitute players of the Chinese team are not what they used to be. Not only can they use the zone defense to effectively contain the ball-holding breakthroughs of the American players, but they can also give the American team a fatal blow through fast ball transmission and precise interspersed running positions. one strike.

Therefore, in the first half of the second quarter, the Chinese team continued to maintain the lead, and the "Dream Four" was a bit lost.

The turning point came in the second half of the second quarter. The "Dream Team Four", which had been suppressed by the Chinese team, finally found the shooting touch in the international arena, and frequently used mid-range shots to increase points. Due to their strong physical fitness, they jumped high, With quick shots, it is difficult for the Chinese team members to make effective interference.

At the end of the second quarter, the score of the two sides was rewritten as "47:41", and the "Dream Team Four" overtook the Chinese team by six points, turning the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop!
When the game started in the third quarter, the main players of both sides re-appeared. The "Dream Four Team" was like the two lines of Ren and Du who had been opened up, and the shooting touch remained high.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu stepped forward again and took the risk of scoring two "ultra-long three-pointers" in a row, which immediately extinguished the arrogance of the "Dream Four Team", and the scores of the two sides returned to the anxious state of back and forth.

During the period, the "Dream Team Four" tried to break into the inside to score many times, but they were all resolved one by one by Zhou Yu's various blocking interferences. In desperation, they had to continue to compete with the Chinese team on the outside in terms of shooting skills.

Although the "Dream Team Four" has a strong body, but in terms of shooting level, the Chinese team is not inferior at all, and even has a slight advantage.

Li Nan's "Little Li Flying Knife" three-pointer, Liu Yudong's "super hand shot", Zhang Jinsong's "drifting shot", and Ah Dijiang's "mid-range throw" all have their own characteristics and flourish.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "66:63". The Chinese team surpassed the US team by three points and regained the leading position!
Tomjanovich was quite annoyed. He never dreamed that the Chinese men's basketball team was so tenacious and tenacious, and they turned the "Dream Team Four" into an ordinary first-class team, without any dreamy style at all.

He knows very well that if the "Dream Team Four" loses this game, he will have no face to return to China to meet the "Jiangdong elders", and even end his coaching career completely, and return home early to retire.

In desperation, Tomjanovich changed his usual gentlemanly demeanor, clenched his fists at the team members and shouted:
"In the last quarter of the game, you all give me some energy! Once I lose to the Chinese team, I don't have to go back to the United States. I will stay in Australia with the kangaroos!"

All the NBA stars were gearing up and excited after hearing this. "Wolf King" Garnett first made a powerful statement:

"Coach, you don't need to say anything. Even if I die on the court in the fourth quarter, I will still stop Wang Zhizhi from scoring!"

Mourning was immediately unhappy when he heard it, and thought to himself, who is he talking to? The main defender of Wang Zhizhi is clearly himself. Isn't he a scumbag?

In the next second, Mourning was the second to make a statement:

"Coach, I think it's better to let Garnett defend Wang Zhizhi in the fourth quarter. His body is more flexible and he can jump higher than a kangaroo. He is suitable for defending a mobile player like Wang Zhizhi."

Tomjanovich stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Garnett, and asked seriously:

"Karnett, can you guarantee to limit Wang Zhizhi's scoring in the last quarter?"

Garnett was taken aback, but he didn't expect that his impassioned speech would have the effect of "angrying the upper body".

In the NBA arena, he has played against Wang Zhizhi many times, not only did he not take advantage of it, but he also lagged behind in all statistics.

Thinking about it again, when Wang Zhizhi first entered the NBA, he overthrew the mighty "God of Basketball" Jordan in the finals; and then eliminated "genius" Duncan and "Admiral" in the playoffs. "The Spurs led by the general"; and then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson twice in the finals, winning the "three consecutive championships".

Weighing his two actions, Garnett fell into hesitation and failed to respond quickly.

"Garnett, if you can't do it, I can replace you immediately and put on other players to defend Wang Zhizhi."

Tomjanovich said with displeasure.

"I can do it! Even if I die, I have to do it!"

Garnett responded immediately, as if waking up from a dream.

Garnett's state at this time is quite similar to Kiyota Nobunaga in "Slam Dunk", except that the defensive object has changed from Rukawa Kaede to Zhou Yu.

"Well done, Garnett, you are worthy of the title of 'Wolf King', and he broke his voice when he spoke."

Tomjanovich patted Garnett on the back, feeling slightly relieved.

On the other side of the bench for the Chinese team, Wang Fei was also mobilizing impassionedly before the battle.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Fei's state of watching the game off the field is very exaggerated, or screaming with clenched fists, sitting over a chair, or covering his head with his hands, not daring to look directly, or lying on the ground, rolling back and forth, which looks quite fear.

Coming to the fourth quarter, which will determine the outcome, Wang Fei is most concerned about whether Zhou Yu can continue to shine.

"Big Zhi, do you want to take a break in the fourth quarter?"

Wang Fei looked at Zhou Yu with burning eyes, and said in a concerned tone.

Zhou Yu frowned. Why didn't he want to sit on the sidelines and rest? He had played too hard in the previous game. If he hadn't possessed extraordinary physical fitness, he might have been put off by this group of muscular American players.
