Chapter 337 is here! All the fellow disciples are here!
In just 3 minutes, Yao Ming perfectly demonstrated how strong he was in his prime in the low post, showing everyone what it means to be the best player after Shaquille O'Neal, and that he was invincible after O'Neal got old!
3分钟，6投4中，罚球4罚全中，拿下12分3篮板2盖帽！
These four shots included a mid-range jump shot after receiving the ball on the baseline, a side hook shot after a low post back-to-the-basket move, a powerful dunk over Vin Baker, and of course, that spectacular fast break dunk!
The two blood hats were given to McDyess and Payton respectively.
Baker and McDyess went up to guard Yao Ming one after the other, and each of them was beaten by Yao Ming, drawing a foul from him.
The two looked at each other, and the same emotion appeared in their eyes.
This kid is no match for one person!
Quickly invite the Northwest KG Ancestor!
"That big guy's not bad!" Bird, watching Yao Ming dominate the court, couldn't help but look at Jordan beside him and say, "I heard he's going into the draft next year. Your crappy team, can you get him? Maybe you'll make the playoffs, and then we'll give you a good beating!"
"His skills are good, his touch is good, and his height is no problem," Jordan said. "But his physique is too thin. He only had a three-minute burst of energy. We need to observe him more closely, otherwise, what if he becomes the next Muresan or Bradley?"
"What I need is a true cornerstone player, not a mediocre player who looks okay."
Bird couldn't help but roll his eyes. He couldn't tell whether Jordan was putting on a smokescreen, talking nonsense, or simply not wanting to agree with him.
But whatever his purpose, he thought Jordan was brain-dead.
During this period, Lin Tian went completely on fire, driving inside and shooting outside, scoring 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting, including 2-for-2 from three-point range! He also added 2 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal!
而在整个第四节，林天8投全中，3分球3投全中，以100%的命中率，总计轰下了19分！同时还有4篮板4助攻和2抢断2盖帽入帐！
In this chapter, Lin Tian once again transforms into the omnipotent, terrifying Lin Tian who can go anywhere!
He overcame the physical bottleneck in the third quarter!
The American team's defense was completely and utterly destroyed by Lin Tian!
The reason why the US team was able to maintain its lead despite Lin Tian's 100% shooting percentage was because of their equally terrifying and all-around offensive firepower, as well as the all-out efforts of everyone on the team in seemingly insignificant aspects such as rebounding, defense, and screen setting!
Team America is really giving it their all!
Despite some mistakes and blocks during Lin Tian's offensive onslaught, their overall performance was absolutely top-notch!
Unlike the Chinese team, which relied on Lin Tian's individual aggressive attacks, the American team played team basketball during this period!
Garnett's mid-range jumper after a pick-and-roll, Kidd's layup after receiving a pass from Garnett on a cut, Ray Allen and Houston each hitting a mid-range shot after getting space off the ball, plus McDyess's putback after grabbing an offensive rebound.
The US team scored 10 points during this period, contributed by 5 different players, and there were a total of 4 assists!
The American team, which emphasizes individual ability, talent, and strength, played team basketball, while the Chinese team on the other side played individual heroism during this period, with Lin Tian scoring wildly by driving inside and shooting outside!
With Lin Tian's three-pointer narrowing the gap to one point, there is now only one minute left in the game!
Tomjanovich quickly called a timeout. With one minute left, the US team had to score on this possession!
Otherwise, if China concedes a goal to take the lead at this point, it will have a huge impact on the team's morale, the outcome of the game, and their subsequent tactics!
It has to hit!
Tomjanovich didn't make any substitutions. He knew that all five players were in good form and warmed up, and he needed them to continue fighting on the field!
He meticulously drew out tactics on the tactics board, striving to devise a move that could directly break through the Chinese team's defense and create an absolute opportunity!
In this round, he wants to play it safe!
On the Chinese team's side, Lin Tian replaced Jiang Xingquan and stood in the middle of everyone. He didn't take the tactical board. Lin Tian knew better than anyone else that in the next minute, the least important thing was the tactics!
"Everyone, cheer up! We can win! We can take the match! The gold medal is within reach! In the last minute, if we can hold on for one round and then win one more, that's enough to win the match!"
"It's super simple! Right? The US team will definitely have a lot of screens and off-ball movement going forward. Everyone stick to your man, everyone shout it out! Remind your teammates, remind the US team about their screen plays! Whether you switch or not when you see a screen, shout it out!"
"Everyone, raise your voices! Let's unite as one, defend this round, and the gold medal is ours!"
"Then the offense begins! Everyone get ready! Be prepared to shoot! The ball might not end up in anyone's hands, and I don't know who will take the shot in the final possession! But I hope that whoever gets the ball and is open won't be afraid!"
"Shoot! If you miss, Yao Ming and Da Wang will grab the rebounds for us! Don't be afraid of missing! Just keep going! Got it?"
"clear!"
"we are……"
"China Team!"
"The Chinese team is..."
"World Champion!"
"Let's go! Let's take down the American team!"
After shouting their slogans, Lin Tian led the way onto the court, and the entire Chinese team exuded a murderous aura! By this point in the game, they had long forgotten what tension, fear, and the might of the United States were.
Just do it! Just give it your all!
Finish the competition, then take the gold medal home!
The US team is in a similar situation!
Each of them is a seasoned basketball superstar, each has countless glorious pasts, and each has faced this kind of game countless times.
They're not nervous!
They believed they could defeat all their opponents!
Because they are the Dream Team!
They are the strongest basketball team in the world!
They are basketball champions!
Challengers and the kings of the basketball world have once again stepped onto the court, and the final minute of the game is about to begin!
"The game is about to start in the last minute! I'm so nervous!" Su Qun said. "My palms are sweaty, and my back is soaked! I really didn't expect this game to be so crazy and exciting!"
"We were outscored by the US team by more than 10 points multiple times, and every time we managed to come back! Although we didn't take the lead or gain the initiative even once tonight, our boys withstood the pressure!"
Song Shixiong added, "Regardless of the outcome in the last minute, our boys deserve respect; they gave it their all! Let's take a closer look at their stats during this timeout!"
「林天的表现仍旧堪称惊艳和完美！他第四节以100%的命中率拿下19分，全场比赛也已37投18中，3分球17投8中，罚球10罚8中，轰下52分15篮板10助攻8抢断8盖帽！」
"I've never seen such stats in my entire life! Never! Nearly a 5-double! Coach Su, have you ever seen such stats before?"
"Unless I'm allowed to play basketball in kindergarten, I'm confident I can put up those numbers, but that's only kindergarten. I wouldn't have that confidence in elementary school!" Su Qun said with a wry smile. "Lin Tian in the third quarter made us think the Chinese team was in trouble, but who could have imagined that he would make a full recovery in the fourth quarter?"
"That's right! But we also can't forget the other players who held the team up during the time Lin Tian was resting due to exhaustion!" Song Shixiong continued, "Everyone!"
"We shouldn't forget the contributions of these players: Yao Ming's 8 consecutive points in the third quarter, Yao Ming's 12 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Jinsong's crucial 3-pointer, and Hu Weidong's shots! This game was achieved because the entire Chinese team was united and of one mind, which is why we've reached this point!"
"Who wins?" Bird could no longer relax in his chair; he became excited, sat up straight, and asked Jordan beside him.
"China!" Tonight, Jordan officially expressed his support for the Chinese team for the first time: "They have Lin, and the American team doesn't have a star player who can compare to Lin!"
"He's fine during regular time, but when the game gets to this stage, Lin can dominate! He won't let this opportunity slip away! At this point, Lin will rule everything!"
After Jordan gave Lin Tian an unprecedentedly high evaluation, the game on the court had already begun.
The US team kicked off again. After receiving the ball, Kidd quickly moved towards the top of the arc while constantly directing his teammates to make runs.
Then McDyess suddenly stepped forward and blocked Lin Tian for Kidd.
Kidd dribbled the ball and drove into the three-point line, then suddenly changed direction and moved to the left. At that moment, Garnett's screen arrived, blocking Yao Ming and giving Kidd a huge shooting space!
Just one step inside the three-point line, Kidd pulled up and shot!
This point guard, who isn't good at scoring or shooting, also has a big heart!
He was calm, but also incredibly cold-blooded and decisive!
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, Kidd's mid-range shot was like a steel knife, piercing the hearts of Chinese fans!
"FUXX!" After scoring, Kidd roared excitedly! He had focused 99% of his energy on defending Lin Tian tonight, and now that he had finally scored, especially such a crucial goal, he was naturally extremely excited!
The entire Chinese team immediately fell silent in despair. Kidd's basket extended the lead to 3 points, significantly reducing the number of tactics the Chinese team could employ.
The American team will definitely defend the Chinese team's outside shooting with all their might!
"No need to pause!" Lin Tian waved to Jiang Xingquan on the sidelines, indicating that he would handle this round.
Then, he received the ball from the baseline and began to advance towards the front!
The last 39 seconds!
103:100! (End of Chapter)
