Chapter 95 The little emperor’s jealousy!
As the "chosen son" of a beautiful family, James has been accustomed to fans and the media praising his talent since high school.
James is well aware of how terrifying his physical talents are.
But until Lin Yu showed up...
Both the media and teammates praised Lin Yu's talent.
Now head coach Larry Brown once again expressed his admiration for Lin Yu’s talent in front of James.
James felt a sense of loss.
Yes, that feeling of loss.
From being the center of attention to being lost and ignored.
Looking at Lin Yu running on the court.
James clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness and a hint of jealousy.
He firmly believed that his talent was not inferior to Lin Yu's, as long as he developed his shooting and further honed his skills.
He is the strongest in the NBA!
He was jealous that Lin Yu was in perfect form from the beginning. It would take him more than a season to develop his shooting and techniques, but Lin Yu had already mastered them completely at this time!
"I am the real 'chosen one', Lin Yu, I will definitely defeat you!"
Beautiful home, in the studio.
When Barkley saw Lin Yu score 2+1, he was shocked by Lin Yu's talent and criticized the Dream Team.
"I have to admit that Lin Yu's talent is terrifying! He can actually lead a person to complete a fast break dunk!"
"But the Longguo men's basketball team was about to tie the score. Lin made a free throw and the Longguo men's basketball team tied the score again!"
"The players of the Dream Team should reflect on themselves now. They should reflect on why they played like this. They used to lose to opponents by 30 or 40 points, but now they can't even close the gap!"
Mr. Pi even used the word "shame" to describe the current situation of the Dream Team.
"Before the game started, the media was promoting that the Dream Team would wash away their shame with a big win!"
"The players of the Dream Team thought so too, but their performance after the game started was not worthy of what they said before the game!"
"To be tied by the Dragon Country men's basketball team is a shame in my opinion!"
Smith also took the opportunity to add: "If it's not a big win of more than 20 points, there is no way to wash away the shame of the Dream Team!"
If the players of the Dream Team on the court heard what Barkley and the other two said at this time, they would definitely fight back directly.
This is crazy...
This perfectly illustrates what it means to talk without any back pain while standing!
Although the Dragon Country men's basketball team is not strong on paper, its lineup can really restrain the Dream Team.
Although the bus is slow, it is a sieve when defending against pick-and-rolls.
But if it's just about protecting the basket in the low post, there's no problem with Daba.
With his height and weight, he is the second best player in the current men's basketball team in terms of low-post rim protection, second only to Yao Ming.
On the outside, the men's basketball team directly adopted close defense against the Dream Team.
The Dream Team doesn't have any shooters.
Even players like Iverson and Marbury who have shooting skills are only just passable.
Under the close defense of the men's basketball team, he had no space to shoot.
If you break through to the middle distance, Lin Yu, the auxiliary defense monster, will appear immediately.
As long as Lin Yu appears, the Dream Team's mid-range shots become extremely difficult to play.
Facing the men's basketball team's targeted defense, another problem of the Dream Team was exposed.
No tactics!
The only two point guards on the Dream Team, Iverson and Marbury, are both offensive point guards.
Even Iverson, nominally, was the point guard of the Dream Team.
But in terms of playing style, he is a shooting guard.
then……
The match between the men's basketball team and the Dream Team basically gave the audience the feeling of a singles match between the stars.
"Iverson succeeded in singles against Liu Wei and made a three-pointer!"
"Dayu was double-teamed by the Dream Team again. Daba received the ball and wanted to single out his old teammate Duncan."
"Duncan blocked the shot directly to Dabashi. Dabashi is not Yao Ming after all."
"Richard Jefferson made a single shot from mid-range, and the score difference is 5 points again." Seeing the score difference gradually widening again, Coach Zhang began to get anxious.
Yao Ming, who was on the sidelines, was also very anxious.
But he also knew that he had to reserve his energy for the second half!
When 'Silver Fox' Harris saw the Dream Team widen the gap to 5 points, there was no change in his expression.
This score difference is already within the acceptable range.
What really determines the outcome of this game is always the second half!
The fans of the Beautiful team began to be satisfied with the performance of the Dream Team.
"The Dream Team is leading again! 5 points is not enough, we have to lead by at least 10 points in the first half!"
"I admit that the Longguo men's basketball team and Lin Yu are both very strong. It may be difficult for the Dream Team to win by 30 points, but winning by 20 points should be no problem, right?"
"Just give the Dragon Country men's basketball team's two No. 20 picks a favor. The Dream Team only needs to win by points!"
"..."
On the court, Lin Yu held the ball and began to organize the offense.
Facing Mariyi in front of him, he made a series of drastic changes in direction to pass Marion and then accelerated directly into the penalty area of the Dream Team.
Stoudemire simply abandoned Al-Farouq Aminu and joined Duncan in double-teaming Lin Yu.
It cannot be said that Al-Farouq Aminu had no shooting ability during this period, but it was indeed unstable.
Facing a double-team, Lin Yu jumped directly, looking like he wanted to make a dunk.
Stoudemire and Duncan jumped with Lin Yu.
"Dayu is going to dunk! No, Dayu changed hands in the air. This is not a dunk but a pass. After Ah Lian passed the ball, he broke through directly with the ball."
Amid coach Zhang's exclamations, Ah Lian received the ball in the bottom corner and went straight to the penalty area along the baseline.
As soon as Stoudemire landed, he saw Al-Farouq Aminu coming towards him with the ball.
Stoudemire was about to jump, but it was too late.
bump!
With the help of the huge impact force brought by the running-up, Al-Farouq Aminu directly pushed away Stoudemire.
Bang!
Al-Farouq Aminu dunked over Stoudemire!
Roar!
After landing, A-Lian roared and celebrated with Lin Yu by puffing out his chest.
Inside the Olympic Indoor Arena, the cheers of the fans instantly echoed throughout the entire stadium like a volcano erupting!
Stoudemire: ???
At this time, Stoudemire looked at Al-Farouq Aminu and Lin Yu who were celebrating with a confused look on his face.
How come he didn't remember that Longguo's style of play was so explosive.
What's the matter with him rushing to the basket and dunking from time to time?
This is crazy...
"Dayu assisted A-Lian to dunk over 'Little Overlord' Stoudemire!!!"
Coach Zhang didn't expect that the first dunk today would be by Yi Jianlian. The Dragon fans in front of the TV started cheering for Yi Jianlian.
"Alian is awesome! He dunked over the little bully!"
"Although this dunk is not as impressive as Dayu's just now, it is still very strong!"
"Come on men's basketball team! Puerto Rico can beat the Dream Team! We can do the same!"
"..."
on the field.
Stoudemire wanted to curse at this time, but he didn't have time to curse, so the Dream Team had already started attacking.
Richard Jefferson broke through with the ball, facing Lin Yu's assist defense, and made an accurate pass to Duncan.
After Duncan received the ball, it was too late for Lin Yu to provide assisting defense.
Daba was also well aware of the terrifying nature of this former teammate, so he chose to foul directly and hugged Duncan.
Beep! Beep!
The referee's whistle sounded, and Duncan walked directly to the free throw line without saying anything.
The coaches of both sides started to make substitutions at the same time.
Daba and Liu Wei were replaced by Dayao and Guo Shiqiang.
The Dream Team replaced Marion, Stoudemire and Richard Jefferson with Boozer, James and Wade.
