I am so Accurate

Chapter 489 No more dream team! (8K update today, please vote for the next month~)

Sun Hao also noticed the changes in the US team.

It seems that Old K did a lot of psychological work during midfield, and the effect was remarkable.

The next game should be more difficult than he expected.

Back in the second half, the Chinese team attacked first.

Sun Hao then lobbed the ball inside to Yao Ming.

Howard was the same as he was in the first quarter. No, to be precise, he should be working harder against Yao Ming than he was in the first quarter.

And after Yao Ming launched another trash talk offensive, he remained unmoved!

It seems that his prediction is correct, which is mostly due to... James.

Why not old K?

It's simple. If Old K's words were useful, Howard wouldn't have to suffer consecutive fouls in the second quarter.

As for why James.

One thing you have to admit is that James is a natural leader.

No matter where he is, he plays the role and plays it well.

Moreover, there are no other super giant veterans in the Dream Seven Team, and James is the only choice.

James' actions on the field also verified this.

James not only convinced Howard, but he also immediately helped defend.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Yi Jianlian from a double team.

Yi Jianlian caught the ball and took one step to prepare for a dunk.

But James showed his excellent reaction speed and confrontation ability at this time, and rushed back to block the hole.

Yi Jianlian failed to gain an advantage after the confrontation, and his shot after turning around went wide.

James jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Chinese team's first attack in the second half came to nothing!

In this round, the most dazzling performance on the field was not Howard, but James.

James' style of play relies more on his body. His defense has declined significantly as he gets older, and he has "only" defended one team 5 times in his career.

But at this time, James was in his early twenties, when his body was at its peak, and this double-team return defense was a textbook.

And it can be clearly felt that after a successful defense that was completely different from that in the second quarter, the morale of the US team has returned.

Reflected on the offensive end, James rushed to the basket and continued to confront Yao Ming. However, he did not gain strength after the confrontation, but passed to Anthony on the weak side.

Anthony caught the ball and shot.

This melon is very sweet.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

As of now, Anthony is averaging 20 points per game and is the U.S. team's leading scorer.

Moreover, in the group stage match against Brazil, he scored 35 points on 13-of-18 shooting, breaking the Dream Team's single-game scoring record previously held by Marbury.

fiba's killer weapon is beginning to show its edge.

Of course, this goal further demonstrated James' leadership skills.

On the basis of old K's tactics, he added his own personal abilities.

Judging from the effect, it’s the icing on the cake.

And when he returned to the defensive end, it was James's successful defense that allowed Yao Ming's hook to miss the basket.

The American team launched a defensive counterattack, and James passed a long pass to Wade.

Wade blitzed the frontcourt and scored a dunk!

52 to 58!

The American team launched a 4-0 attack in the second half, reducing the score to 6 points!

When Wade returned to defense, he found James and gave him a high-five.

"Janeway Connected" Youth Edition!

"Looks like I have to think hard about how to limit LeBron in the next game!"

In the stands, Ginobili nodded repeatedly.

He felt that his prediction this time should be, right!

Harris looked up at the score, stood up from the bench and walked to the sideline.

Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and gave Yao Ming a look inside.

Yao Ming understood this and moved to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

After a pick and roll, Sun Hao immediately broke through to the inside.

His first step was too fast. There was no possibility for the US team to go back and defend, so they could only choose to change.

Sun Hao versus Howard.

He accelerated directly to break through and squeeze through.

Howard couldn't keep up with the speed and watched Sun Hao rush to the basket.

Sun Hao was not polite, he seized the opportunity, jumped into the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Bang!"

A huge muffled sound came through the loudspeaker, causing cheers from the Chinese fans at the scene.

Finally, that tone came out!

If this doesn't come out again, they will be depressed!

Then, the touching scene on the field appeared again.

"Sure enough, what Yao said is right. Your defense is like a road at four o'clock in the morning. There are not even sanitation workers."

Sun Hao glanced at Howard after dunking and spoke in fluent English.

Yao Ming:? ? That’s not what you told me!

Howard:? ? ……\u0026*……\u0026¥

After understanding what Sun Hao said, Howard suddenly felt his blood boiling over again.

Sun Hao's level of trash talk is a level higher than Yao Ming's before!

At this time, what James said has no effect!

On the offensive end, he directly asks for the ball in the low post. If the ball is not given to him in that posture, he will give you an attack in three seconds.

fiba does not have three seconds of defense, but there are still three seconds of offense!

Hinrich lobbed the ball in, and Howard hit Yao Ming hard. This time he used all his strength, but he still didn't beat Yao Ming too much.

Although Yao Ming has not gained weight compared with history, the confrontation is weaker.

But Howard is the typical player with excellent upper body strength but average lower body strength!

This kind of inside line has a special characteristic. If you give him inside space, he can wreak havoc on the basket.

But if you block him, it will be difficult for him to perform well.

This is why there is such a big difference in dominance between him and O'Neal.

The inside position is the one that requires the most talent.

Howard couldn't get enough space to take action, and his steps suddenly became chaotic.

The referee's whistle also sounded, Howard's...

Wrong move!

James pouted, but didn't say anything.

The offense and defense switched, and Sun Hao started a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming again.

After this time, Sun Hao quickly retreated to the three-point line.

Howard saw it and swooped out.

His speed was so fast that he caught up with Sun Hao's shot.

Blocking out the sky!

The main road at four o'clock in the morning?

He wants to prove that what Sun Hao said is wrong!

But just as he was flying into the air, he saw a smile on Sun Hao's lips.

Sun Hao did not take action immediately. He stayed there for a moment and waited for Howard to pounce before taking action.

There was a direct physical confrontation between the two in the air.

Even with Sun Hao's body like a small steel cannon, he was knocked back when facing Howard.

The referee's whistle then sounded.

Howard's fourth personal foul!

Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian ran over and pulled Sun Hao up. Yi Jianlian was even more concerned about whether Sun Hao was injured.

Sun Hao shook his head, unable to hide the smile on his face.

Howard put his head in his hands.

Seeing Sun Hao's current reaction, he finally realized that Sun Hao had been trying to trick him into committing a foul from the beginning!

But it was too late.

"damn it!"

James reached out to cover his face, and when he turned around, he finally couldn't help but curse.

Before it was Yao Ming, now it is Sun Hao.

This is the same pit, but in a different place. Howard was able to fall into it twice in a row!

At this time, Old K also shook his head, held his forehead, and sighed three times.

It's only the third quarter, and Howard's foul may be the last straw for the American team.

Brand came on to replace Howard, and the game returned to the scene in the second quarter.

The multiple-choice question about death is comparable to "Which one do you save first when your mother and I fall into the water?"

"What would you do if my best friend and I exchanged souls?"

"Do you want to double-team Yao Ming or not?"

Of course, there are no answers to these questions.

The Chinese team opened the score at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the second half of this quarter, Lao K was forced to play against the Chinese team.

But it’s like a game of chess, when you start to be forced to move, you’ve already lost!

Harris said that he is familiar with this trick!

By shrinking the paint and keeping an eye on Anthony, another key point of the US team is exposed: they can't score!

Ever since, at the end of the three quarters, the Chinese team had led the American team by 18 points, 83 to 65!

In the stands, Ginobili held an empty fist in his hand and coughed. He looked left and right while coughing, fearing that someone would notice him.

If he opens his mouth now, he will definitely not be able to speak again.

In the last quarter of the game, he quietly acted like a handsome man.

The Chinese team also played steadily and withstood the counterattack of the American team.

One minute before the end, the score on the field was 101 to 88, and the Chinese team was in the lead!

The Chinese fans at the scene began to stand up early and cheered in celebration!

Another World Series, another elimination of the United States!

And the Dream Team 7 eliminated this time is obviously stronger than the previous Dream Team 5 and Dream 6!

From now on, let’s call the Chinese team the nemesis of the Dream Team!

"Uh-huh!"

With Sun Hao's final super long three-pointer sealing the deal, the score on the court was finally fixed at 104-90!

The Chinese team eliminated the United States team by 14 points and became the second team to reach the semi-finals of the World Championships.

The American team, after Indianapolis in 2002, once again fell outside the semi-finals of the World Championships!

At the end of the game, everyone on the American team left the field with their heads down and their heads together.

It's just that no one in the arena paid attention to them, because most of the people present were Chinese fans, and even if they weren't Chinese fans, they were mostly Asian fans.

At this time, they were all cheering for the Chinese team's victory.

In competitive sports, the winner takes all!

Dream Team 7 participated in the remaining qualifying matches. Although their morale was poor, they still relied on hard power to get fifth place.

This also shows that the hard power of this team is not bad. If they had not encountered the Chinese team in advance, they would have a good chance of winning...

silver medal?

But the problem is that they themselves lost the Greek team, so there is no one to blame.

After qualifying, they had no plans to attend the closing ceremony and were preparing to return to the United States immediately.

It was at this time that the media and reporters turned their attention to this "defeated army."

The few dozen meters they walked from the hotel to the bus were crowded with reporters and media.

Most of the U.S. team members kept their heads down, avoiding the cameras.

Like Anthony, he wore the iconic hood and covered his face tightly.

The entire team passed by, and no one was interviewed or greeted the fans.

Obviously, this should be explained in advance by the American Basketball Association.

In fact, even if they don't explain it, with this result, they have no intention of doing anything else and just want to return to the United States as soon as possible.

After all, after the dream team is disbanded, they will return to their respective teams, and the national team will not have much to do with them.

Of course, reporters won't give up so easily.

"What do you think of the Dream Team's defeat in the World Championships?"

"Will you make a comeback in the 2008 Olympics?"

"Will the Dream Team send stronger insiders to the next World Championships?"

Wait, that question is like a machine gun, firing at this group of defeated generals.

Anthony couldn't help but put on his headphones through his hood.

The reporters saw that no one from the dream team answered and they were about to get on the bus.

At this time, a reporter in the reporter group thought quickly and shouted directly to the team:

"Do you think the Chinese team will win the championship? Will the Dream Team become the top loser?"

The number one loser is what Kobe Bryant said, and it is a familiar one.

As soon as this sentence came out, someone in the team over there paused.

James.

Anthony pulled James but didn't hold him back, and James walked towards the reporters.

Although there were security guards blocking him in front of him, a bunch of recorders were quickly piled up in front of James.

James' eyes were firm and he seemed to have made a decision.

He said this in front of all reporters:

"No more dream teams."

Just one sentence caused an uproar in an instant.

Including Wade and Anthony, they were all stunned on the spot.

James is not leaving a way out for himself or the American team!

However, Wade and the others didn’t know how to refute.

The head coach Lao K, who was at the front of the team, opened his mouth and finally closed it again.

Take a look at the U.S. team’s results in the World Series in recent years: it didn’t reach the semi-finals in the 2002 World Championships, it finished fourth in the 2004 Olympics, and it didn’t reach the semi-finals in 2006!

With such results, how can we talk about a dream team?

A dream?

You must know that the reason why the American team was called the Dream Team was because they won all the World Series championships!

Although James' words are harsh, they are true.

"Will you still participate in the 2008 Olympics?"

The reporter asked quickly while James was still there.

This is a very critical question.

Not to mention the distant players, Iverson and Duncan, who are close by, faded out of the national team after the defeat in Athens.

Even Duncan publicly stated that he would never play for the national team again.

"Team America will be back."

James only answered one sentence, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

"what does that mean?!"

James did not answer the reporter's questioning.

Including questions from other reporters, there was no further response.

All members of the American team boarded the bus one after another after James, and then drove towards the airport.

"There will be no more Dream Team" and "Team America will come back."

These two sentences from James became a hot topic among all media and fans before the start of the World Championship semi-finals.

Many people don't even understand it. They say there is no Dream Team and that Team USA will come back again.

This is a contradiction!

No one even knows whether James will participate in the 2008 Olympics!

Of course, there are people who understand, such as... Sun Hao.

In fact, these two sentences are not conflicting.

There is no Dream Team, which means that the American team will no longer claim to be the "Dream Team" in competitions.

The American team will come back, which means that the American team will definitely make a comeback in the 2008 Olympics.

James would say this. On the one hand, he is ambitious, and on the other hand, he also wants to alert American players through such a voice.

After all, in the dream team in recent years, there have been too many superstars who have not played for various reasons.

While Sun Hao lamented James' ambition and emotional intelligence, he could also foresee one thing.

In Beijing in 2008, the US team's lineup is likely to be more luxurious than the dream team he knew.

And, it’s a lot more luxurious.
