Chapter 599 Come on Lin!

Sun Zhengping suddenly realized and echoed a few words. Although he was laughing, his worry was about to overflow the screen.

At this time, in the land of Dragon Country, Sun Zhengping and Coach Ma were analyzing the difficulties of Dragon Country in the second half.

The noise of celebration in countless taverns stopped, and countless fans who were sitting in front of the TV happily fell silent. The excited young people who were brushing the barrage on the computer before also calmed down. Even the barrage in front of his computer that was madly shooting was blank for a few seconds, just because the commentator in the Penguin live broadcast room just made almost the same analysis.

We are leading, but we haven't won yet...

Even the American team has a seemingly more favorable advantage!

Worry, tension, and even frustration, countless emotions are brewing in the hearts of fans across the country.

Only by relying on the whole team to survive the third quarter and then relying on the God of Basketball to survive the fourth quarter can we maintain this 15-point advantage!

Come on!

Come on! Dragon Country Team!

You must come on! Our basketball god!

Defeat the United States, defeat the superpower that claims to be invincible, and let China stand on top of the world!

Even if it's only once, even if it's only for one second, even if I can only feel this moment in my life, it's enough!

Beep!

Just when the people of the whole country were extremely nervous, the referee blew the whistle for the game, and the third quarter of the 2008 Olympic men's basketball semi-finals began!

The American team continued the lineup that was played at the end of the second quarter, making it clear that they wanted to fight with Longguo in consumption, attack and fast-paced, that is, to use physical strength to exchange for your physical strength.

On the other hand, Longguo changed its lineup cleanly and directly, replacing Xu Yong, Chen Jianghua and other small players who had already had cramps at the end of the second quarter, using Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to form a double tower inside line, and Lin Dong, Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue to form a 3D lineup outside, and in turn began to control and slow down the rhythm of the game.

"That's right! If you want to delay, then slow down the pace!" Coach Ma's eyes lit up in the live broadcast room. Lao Jiang's idea coincided with his: "In a positional battle with the United States, it is best to play for 24 seconds in each round, ensure the success rate on the offensive end, and prevent the Americans from entering the fast pace as they wish. This is the best response!"

At present, this lineup needs height, inside players, and outside players who can turn into shooters at any time. They also have the ability to control the ball and break through, but to be honest, there are not many highlights overall. It is a panacea lineup.

It is not matched to deal with the current fast break lineup of the US team. There is a big difference in mobility.

But there is no way that the bench lineup is not as good as the opponent. If you want stability and slowness, you will inevitably give up something.

Maybe God also wants to tell the Dragons how difficult it is to win the championship. Since the Dragons had the ball during the jump ball in the first quarter, the ball in the third quarter was also the American team. Combined with the Americans' buzzer-beater after the second quarter, this cheap luck was taken to the extreme by them.

Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue, who had just come on the court, had not yet entered the state when they rotated defense. Although Lin Dong had already pulled them out of the weak side double-teaming opportunity, Sun Yue's replacement was half a beat slower, and Durant seized the opportunity to shoot a 3-pointer from the outside.

The ball went in, and only 6 seconds into the third quarter, the Americans had already taken the lead.

72:60, the score difference was only 12 points.

The Longguo team turned around and played steadily. While Lin Dong controlled the ball and slowly consumed time, he was also waiting for the three inside players to get into position.

Although Yao Ming's physical strength had begun to appear in crisis, it was not yet time to overdraw. Garnett could not bear him after gaining weight, and was successfully squeezed to the basket by Yao Ming.

Lin Dong spent the last 5 seconds before shooting the ball. Yao Ming received the ball and turned around to score a small hook shot. 74:60, the score difference came to 14 points again.

But unexpectedly, the US team took advantage of Yao Ming's slow return to defense and set up a 4-on-3 offensive formation in the frontcourt in just two or three seconds.

Paul broke through Sun Yue on the left, attracted Zhu Fangyu's double-team, and then made a wonderful pass to Durant, who jumped up cleanly. Zhu Fangyu hurriedly made up for the position, but was tricked into a foul. Durant scored 3+1, 74:64, and the score difference had reached the 10-point position of the double-digit goalkeeper.

The score difference was narrowing, but you couldn't see even a trace of panic from the players of the Dragon Country team, because when the baseline ball was sent out, the man who controlled the basketball was not panicking.

This is a man who is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, holding up the sky of the entire Dragon Country team. As long as he is not panicking, the Dragon Country team will not panic!

Still the ball control is as steady as a mountain, still the perfect control of time, the same rhythm control as the previous ball, until the last 5 seconds to steadily hoist the ball into the inside line, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming played a mismatch, Yao Ming received the ball, facing Bosh, whose defensive ability is obviously weaker than Garnett, Yao Ming turned over and jumped, and hit 2 points steadily, pulling the score difference back to 12 points again.

76:64.

Although the score difference is slowly closing, after all, you attack and I attack, not only does the scene still look balanced, but the control of time consumption is also completely in the tactical arrangement of Longguo, which is a situation that both sides can accept.

But I didn't expect...

The American team is still controlled by Paul. Longguo has learned from the previous two balls and has obviously improved its defense against Durant. Not only does Zhu Fangyu follow at any time, but also Sun Yue is pulled to the top of the three-point arc, ready to cooperate with Zhu Fangyu to complete the rotation double-teaming of Durant at any time.

Lin Dong was on the left side of the US team's strong side, trying to repeat the previous one-defense-two strategy, but before Paul passed the ball, Wade had already slipped to the left in advance.

At this time, the US team's strong side became a weak side, and the weak side became a strong side, and even formed a trinity of Durant, Wade and Paul. Facing the defense of Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu, at most Yi Jianlian in the interior helped defend, but it was just three-defense-three, basically in an undefensible state.

Lin Dong immediately adjusted his position, pulled away from McGrady, and moved closer to the 3-point 60-degree angle on the right. It seemed that he was going to chase Wade and leave McGrady in a large open position, but in fact he was in the center between the two points.

It was to deliberately leave McGrady in a seemingly good open position to trick the US team into passing the ball here.

When the ball was in the air, Lin Dong could chase it underground. He couldn't intercept it, but at least he could fill in the position and go back to play a one-on-one with McGrady.

Unexpectedly, Paul passed the ball directly to Wade without even looking at it. At this time, Lin Dong was already in a desperate situation.

Because he came in, Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu had automatically moved to the strong side, leaving Wade empty.

At this time, Lin Dong could only choose to pounce on Wade, and at the same time shouted "Alian", hoping that Yi Jianlian in the inside could defend McGrady's position.

In the end, Lin Dong blocked Wade, and Wade also passed the ball directly to McGrady on the right baseline as Lin Dong imagined, but Yi Jianlian's defense was half a beat slower after all.

If such a switch of defense had happened at the beginning of the first quarter, there would definitely be no problem, but now, the physical strength of the three inside players of Longguo has begun to decline, which will definitely affect not only the speed, strength, shooting accuracy and other skills, but also slow down your reaction and affect your consciousness.

Yi Jianlian's reaction at this time was obviously a little slower than in the first quarter. What's more terrible is that it was McGrady after all, the player who was known as the best pull-up player in the NBA and the fastest 3-pointer player with 13 points in 35 seconds.

The latter ignored Yi Jianlian's defense and shot the ball the moment he received it.

3 points scored, 76:67!

The whole Wukesong Stadium was quiet at this moment, and even countless viewers sitting in front of the TV in the country were also worried.

The score difference was only 9 points!

"Roar!" McGrady vented his anger and yelled at Lin Dong who was helpless with his hands on his waist.

In the NBA, in his peak years, he was always suppressed by Lin Dong. Whether he was in the Magic or later went to the Wizards to form a super combination with O'Neal, he was blocked by Lin Dong again and again.

Now, he finally made that guy feel uncomfortable. McGrady felt so happy that he shouted to Lin Dong the most inappropriate words at the most inappropriate time, which was later scolded by countless American fans: "Come on! Lin!"

Lin Dong was stunned. He was still thinking about another emergency method for the ball just now. It was his habit to summarize at any time when playing basketball. So he stood with his hands on his waist for two seconds. Unexpectedly, he attracted the provocation of his opponent.

The Dragon players on the court were all stunned at the wanton McGrady, and the players of the American team looked at Lin Dong who seemed to have no reaction with a little worry.

Old K couldn't help but open his mouth... What is that old black man doing? !

Then, Old K saw Lin Dong laughing.

He laughed happily, as if he was very interested.

"Oh." Lin Dong only smiled and responded with one word, but it made Old K feel goose bumps all over his body at that moment.

To be honest, Old K hoped to see Lin Dong take over the game in advance in the third quarter.

Because that means that the rest of the Dragon Country is no longer able to fight, and that Lin Dong will officially enter the phase of being consumed the most. Only then can all the advantages of the US team be converted into a winning advantage in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, if the Dragon Country team is left with a score difference of more than 10 points and a full-blooded Lin Dong in the fourth quarter, frankly speaking, even Lao K doesn't know how the United States can win.

However, that is based on the situation that the Dragon Country is no longer able to fight and Lin Dong is forced to take action.

But if Lin Dong is deliberately provoked, deliberately activated, or even with emotions, and enters a rampage state when the rest of the Dragon Country team still has the strength to fight and the ability to cooperate... That will not only activate Lin Dong, but also activate the entire Dragon Country team, and even activate the entire nation. You know, Lin Dong is now the spiritual totem of that nation!

Why do you have to provoke him when you can't provoke anyone else? Come on, you MM!

I...

At this moment, Lao K couldn't help but spit out a Dragon Country curse that he learned from watching the Dragon Country game video: Fuck!

He felt as if he saw a stupid black man holding the farmer's cotton and preparing to run away, and as if he saw an ancient oriental dragon awakening.

He couldn't help but want to replace the idiot who was showing off after making a 3-pointer.

But Lin Dong obviously didn't give him a chance to react.

Dragon Country's ball possession.

It was still a steady 24-second inside attack, 78:67, which pulled the score back to 11 points and also made Lao K breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that Lin Dong was not angry? It seems that he thought too much? Really, how could the God of Basketball care about such a sentence with an idiot...

But the next second...

McGrady served the ball from the baseline, Paul held the ball and advanced steadily against Sun Yue's defense, but forgot that Lin Dong, who was defending McGrady, was near the left and had not returned to the court yet.

When Sun Yue attracted Paul's attention, a sudden sneak attack from the left side, Lin Dong completed the steal, turned around and faced McGrady for a dunk, 80:67, which made Lao K tremble in his heart, and the score difference came to 13 points again, pulling back to the double-digit safety line.

The US team adjusted their mentality and stabilized their position. Wade faced Sun Yue's defense and made a quick stop jump shot, scoring 2 points, 80:69, narrowing the score difference to 11 points.

Turning around, Lin Dong seemed to control the ball slowly through the midfield. When everyone in the US team thought that he would continue to waste time and wait for him to hang inside, Lin Dong suddenly faced McGrady's defense and stood up 2 steps away from the three-point line.

3 points scored, 83:69.

Lin Dong smiled at McGrady and made an "oh" mouth shape, as if responding to his previous provocation.

McGrady's face turned black, and Lao K on the sidelines was even more angry.

It couldn't be more obvious... it was that black guy who caused the trouble!

The score difference that the US team had managed to pull away earlier returned to 14 points again, and the Americans suddenly realized who their opponent was in the joy of chasing points.

After all, that was Lin Dong.

When you think I will get angry, I won't get angry. I will play slowly and wait for you to relax your vigilance inevitably after overreacting.

Hey, I won't delay any more, I'm going to take action! I'm going to settle accounts with you later!

The provocation of that black guy not only did not disrupt the rhythm of Long Guo and Lin Dong, but disrupted the rhythm and deployment of the US team itself.

Beep!

Old K stood up without hesitation and called for a substitution.

Not only because of McGrady's stupid provocation just now, but more importantly, Old K could see that Lin Dong was indeed planning to take over the game.

It's just that unlike everyone's understanding of taking over the game by purely fighting alone, Lin Dong was trying to establish a "takeover" between "single" and "team" balance.

Under the control of rhythm, he mainly used the team's strength to maintain the offense, but at the same time, he would take advantage of the American team's relaxation of his personal carelessness to insert his own offense, which could not only share the offensive pressure of his teammates, reduce their physical consumption, and let them hold on for as long as possible, but also be subtle, making the American team's encirclement and consumption of him like hitting a ball of cotton, with nowhere to exert force.

This balance point is difficult to control, but Lin Dong has mastered it!

He can no longer lead the rhythm, and the American team must take the initiative to seek changes!

Kobe came on, McGrady came off, and at the same time, Duncan was replaced by Bosh to strengthen the defense on the inside.

To chase points, you must score points and prevent losses. If you can't control the rebounds, then chasing points is undoubtedly just an empty promise.

Lin Dong showed his strength in the third quarter, which was actually a double-edged sword for both sides, with both advantages and disadvantages. But for Lao K, if it was an angry Lin Dong, he would rather not have such a change. After all, it would affect the mentality of the US team more, because these superstars would be too sensitive to anything involving Lin Dong...

Sure enough, after replacing McGrady, the rhythm of the US team finally stabilized.

The overall play was based on the physical strength of the Dragon Country.

Yao Ming couldn't run fast, and Yi Jianlian's physical strength was no longer enough. Of course, Duncan, who came back on the court, also played a great role. After all, he got more rest and his physical strength was much more abundant than Yao Ming.

Relying on the perfect center partner of Duncan and Garnett, the US team regained the advantage in the interior. Although the offensive rhythm slowed down a little, it began to slowly erode the 14-point advantage of the Dragon Country team.

85:72!

89:77!

94:82!

99:88!

The Dragon Country team has changed its lineup twice, changing to the death five, changing back to the three towers in the interior, and then changing back to the previous balanced lineup. Until the end of the third quarter, relying on the constantly changing lineup and Lin Dong's insertion, it finally withstood the wave of counterattacks from the US team and kept the score difference at the ideal double-digit 11 points.

But at the same time, the physical strength problem of the Dragon Country team has been completely exposed.

The successive switching of several lineups gives people the feeling that each lineup can see the effect immediately after it is replaced, but it will immediately become decadent after one or two rounds at most. This is obviously due to the physical strength of the players.

It seems that you can be active for one or two minutes after a few minutes of rest.

But this also gives people a feeling of being constantly squeezed. Until the end of the third quarter, Chen Jianghua on the court actually had a weak leg when he walked back to the bench, and almost slid to the ground with his butt, while Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others were also constantly panting, sweating profusely, and their chests kept rising and falling.

Everyone knows that the Dragon Country team's physical strength has been exhausted to the limit...
