Chapter 91: Battle against the Dream Team!
Before the game started, the media also interviewed members of the Dream Team.

"What do you think about the game against the Dragon Country men's basketball team?"

The social melon is outspoken in its expectation of fighting with Lin Yu.

"I don't have any opinion. I'm just looking forward to playing against Lin. Especially after seeing Lin score 60 points, I'm looking forward to playing against Lin even more."

"I hope that in the next games, I can get more playing time and face off against Lin in person."

To put it another way, social melon is...

I actually don't take the Longguo men's basketball team seriously. I just want to play against Lin Yu...

Compared to the social melon, Marbury is more direct and outspoken.

"Although I'm looking forward to playing against Lin, I want to wash away the shame even more. The two losses in the group stage have made me, no, I should say all of us, be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

"Now the only way for us to wash away the shame is to win the gold medal!"

"I don't care whether my opponent is the Dragon National Basketball Team or anyone else. My goal now is to win the gold medal!"

This can also be seen from social media, Marbury, and outside evaluations.

At this time, almost no one was optimistic that the men's basketball team could defeat the Dream Team!

But Lin Yu doesn't think so.

He's going to beat the Dream Team!
8 month 24 day.

The Dragon Country men's basketball team faces off against the Dream Team.

The competition venue was also replaced with the Australian Indoor Arena, the main venue of the Olympic Games, which can accommodate 19200 spectators.

The Dragon Country men's basketball team faces off against the Dream Team.

This focused battle also allowed the people of Yadian to feel the power of the people of Longguo.

The people of Longguo who came to Yadian for tourism bought out all the tickets within 15 minutes of the sale going on.

At this time, half of the Olympic indoor arena had turned red.

In the locker room.

As the team was about to go on the court, Harris, as the head coach, took the lead in motivating the players.

"You did a great job. The quarterfinals have already achieved the result we originally expected. But I know you can do better!"

"Next we are going to face the powerful Dream Team. Do you have the confidence to defeat the Dream Team!?"

Harris almost shouted the last sentence.

"Have confidence!!!"

"who are you!?"

"Dragon Country Men's Basketball Team!!!"

"Facing the Dream Team on the court!?"

"Never give up! Fight to the end!"

"Facing the Dream Team on the court!?"

"Never give up! Fight to the end!"

Bang!

Harris pushed open the door of the locker room and yelled to everyone, "Go! Let everyone know how powerful we are!"

The reporters in the player tunnel were all startled by the sudden yell.

This is crazy...

But the reporters didn't have time to think too much, as the men's basketball players had already run from the locker room to the court, ready to start warming up.

The reporters quickly raised their video cameras and started filming.

Coach Zhang and Yu Jia will still be commentating on the game today.

"The boys of the men's basketball team have already come on the court and are preparing to warm up. The players of the Dream Team came forward to greet Dayu and Dayao."

Although it can be considered a "greeting", it is not friendly.

The social melon walked in front of Lin Yu, his eyes full of fighting spirit. "I've already told Coach Larry that I'm going to play against you, Lin, don't try to hide from me!"

Lin Yu glanced at Larry Brown and began to mourn for the society in his heart.

Larry Brown doesn't like to use rookies, and Jason is a player who is unwilling to spend time on defense.

The probability of a social melon appearing is about the same as the probability of Lin Yu winning the lottery.

Lin Yu remained calm on the surface and said, "I'm also looking forward to playing against you, Cameron."

If being a social melon is still considered polite, Marbury was simply arrogant towards Yao Ming.

"Yao, I'm very sorry, but the Dream Team needs a big win. We are not targeting you, you just happened to be our opponent."

"Stephen, even though the Dream Team is very strong, we won't give up easily!"

Dayao had only one thought at this moment.

Fight to the end with the dream team!
As the focus of the battle, there is naturally no shortage of spectators. The Spanish Ducks's Dajiasao and Calderon, the Lithuanian Bowl's "King of Europe" Jasikevicius, Argentina's Ginobili and others came to the scene to watch the game.

In a beautiful home or studio.

This is the focus of the battle between the Dream Team and the two No. 1 picks.

In addition to Barkley and Smith, Pi Erye was also specially invited as a special guest today.

Before the game started, Barkley asked the first question.

"The game is about to start. Scottie, Kenny, how many points do you think the Dragon Country men's basketball team will lose?"

Mr. Pi spoke first: "30 points! If I remember correctly, the last time the two sides played against each other, the Longguo men's basketball team lost by more than 30 points!"

"Scottie, after all, they have Lin and Yao now, let's lose by 20 points!"

Smith gave his opinion.

While the three were discussing, the competition was about to begin.

The starting lineup of the men's basketball team: center Yao Ming, power forward Lin Yu, small forward Li Nan, shooting guard Guo Shiqiang, and point guard Liu Wei.

The starting lineup of the Dream Team: center Lamar Odom, power forward Duncan, small forward 'The Hacker' Marion, shooting guard Marbury, point guard Iverson.

This starting lineup seems a bit weird.

However, this is also because the Dream Team's lineup is distorted, with only three guards in total: Iverson, Marbury and Wade.

Wade was not valued by Larry Brown at this time and his playing time was limited.

Although Odom played more at the four position during his time with the Lakers, he played at the five position most of the time during his time with the Heat.

Although Duncan is nominally the power forward, whether he is actually playing the power forward or the power forward position will only be known after the game starts.

哔!
With the whistle, the first half of the game officially began.

Yao Ming relied on his height advantage to successfully help the men's basketball team jump ball.

Lin Yu took the ball and started to organize the offense.

After reaching the top of the arc, the defender in front of Lin Yu was not the "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, nor the "Left-handed Magician" Odom, but the "Hacker" Marion.

Marion's offense is mainly off the ball, and his ball-handling ability is considered very poor among All-Star players.

Larry Brown let Marbury face off against Lin Yu because he was impressed by his defense.

If we really want to evaluate Marion's defense.

The word 'all-powerful' is the most appropriate to describe it.

Explosive physical fitness, coupled with an extremely long wingspan of 2 meters.

This allows him to control his defensive zone well while being able to defend from the one to the four positions.

Coupled with a positive attitude, quick reactions, and excellent basketball IQ.

This kind of player is the top defender that no player wants to face!

Larry Brown saw Marion step forward to defend Lin Yu.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: "It's okay to rely on your physical talent to bully the European team, but the Dream Team will not let you score 60 points!"
