This striker is not serious

Of course, this step is also the most difficult step.

Judging from the previous performance of the Dream Nine Team, they are not as miserable as the outside world said.

Although it was a team dominated by new players, Durant performed as killer as he has in history.

So far, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 48%, which is quite ruthless.

What is a fiba nuclear weapon! (tactical fallback)

So after the game, the Chinese team stayed to watch the match between Lithuania and the United States.

The Lithuanian team's performance in this competition is also extremely brave, especially Kleiza's average of 17+ points per game.

In a European team, and it is a Lithuanian team that mainly plays team style, Kleiza's performance can only be described as extremely brave.

So it’s really not certain that the Mengjiu Team will win this game.

And another hot fact is that during the Athens Olympics, Lithuania defeated the Dream Team 94-90.

The overall strength of Mengjiu is not necessarily much stronger than Mengliu.

When the players from both teams entered the field, you could see that the expressions of the players on both sides were quite serious.

Of course, not everyone, young player Stephen Curry always has a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, Curry is probably the brightest NBA player Lin Ying has ever seen.

But it's a pity that in the only World Series he participated in in his career, he couldn't even be considered a supporting role.

Soon the opening ceremony ended, and the lineups of both sides were announced.

Lithuania team: Karnieitis, Posius, Machulis, Kreza, Yaftokas

Team USA: Rose, Billups, Iguodala, Durant, Odom

Odom plays center?

You read that right, this is not a change of tactics by Old K, but the regular lineup of Dream Nine Team for this World Championship.

On the one hand, Howard did not come, and the only insider on the Dream Nine team was Chandler.

But the more important aspect is that what Old K is best at in the Dream Team is his defensive counterattack style.

Odom, an insider who can carry and pass, is obviously more favored by him than Chandler.

When the game started, Rose made a mid-range shot.

As is commonplace, Fiba games do not defend for three seconds, and the big center stops at the basket. This is a disaster for players who play breakthrough games.

Wade's ability to become a killer in Beijing was not only due to his steals and breakthroughs, but also his terrifying 47.1% three-point shooting rate.

But it's a pity that Rose doesn't have three-pointers now.

Similarly, Westbrook's performance as a substitute in this World Championships is very good, which is also closely related to his good outside touch.

Lin Ying watched and took notes on the sidelines. If Mengjiu is really going to be played in the final, this is a point that can be exploited.

After five minutes on the court, Kleiza made a layup to help the Lithuanian team lead 7-6.

To be honest, the gap between NBA superstars and All-Stars is still huge.

Most of the players on this Mengjiu team are not dominant in one-on-one situations.

Hey, dominance comes as he says.

Durant hit a three-pointer from Kleiza at the top of the arc, directly opening Pandora's box.

Durant chased and blocked the shot;

Durant followed up the fast break with a mid-range jump shot;

Durant caught the ball from a 45-degree angle on the right side and hit a three-pointer;

Durant broke through for a layup and made two free throws!

In the next period of time, Durant dominated the screen!

He personally scored 10 points in a row, helping the Mengjiu team launch a 12-0 attack wave!

Then, the Dream Nine team led by 11 points.

That's a bit outrageous!

If American fans are watching this, they will definitely shout "Captain America"!

And on the final foul shot, Durant used the heavy pivot kick technique he had learned from Kobe before.

Like Lin Ying, Durant's ability to master technology is also very quick.

Who is not a training freak?

It was at this time that Curry and Westbrook were substituted on the court together.

Curry... really has no chance to touch the ball.

Moreover, when playing against European teams, you can clearly see the two concepts of passing the ball and assisting more.

The Lithuanian team is tall and powerful, so if you want to pass the ball, you must have vision and anticipation.

In the most typical round, Curry raised his hand empty in the right corner for a long time and almost felt sore. Westbrook broke through from the left but couldn't see it, and finally got blocked.

If nothing else, Lin Ying felt that it was really wise not to be tempted by Durant and go to the Thunder.

Otherwise, people at this young age are really prone to high blood pressure.

At the end of the game, the United States defeated Lithuania 89-74.

In addition to Durant's surge in the first quarter, he also scored 7 points in a row in the second quarter, directly giving the United States a 42-27 halftime lead over Lithuania.

In the end, he scored 24 points in the half and finished with 38 points and 9 rebounds, setting a new single-game scoring record for an American player.

Not to mention the previous ones, in this game, Durant's status in the international arena has been directly elevated to the same level as James and Wade.

Of course, watching the game is more shocking than the data.

Basically, as soon as the ball reaches Durant's hands, you feel like you are going to score.

However, after watching this game, Lin Ying's thinking actually became clearer.

The chances of winning against this Dream Nine team are still very high.

But the key is to do two things well: Needless to say, the first point is to hold down Durant's score. If Durant misses the shot, it will really be a random killing mode;

Another point depends on the inside scoring performance of several of them. The Dream Nine team only has Chandler as the most serious center, and then there is Odom. As for the inside, Love is more useful than Curry at this time.

Not much better.

The opportunity is great!

…

After the game, Durant returned to the hotel and started checking social media.

North America cheered for his performance.

Another trivia fact, the Dream Team not only failed to win the championship in 2016, but also failed to reach the World Championship finals in 2016!

So, Durant has actually made history.

Many fans compare him with James and believe that he will be the next generation core of the US men's basketball team.

Durant replied happily.

But soon he was no longer happy.

Where there is white, there must be black, and where there are people applauding, there must be people stepping on it.

"My emperor just doesn't bother to go to such a bad competition as the World Championships. If I go to the championship, there is no suspense at all!"

"Durant scores more just because he takes more shots. If you let Anthony do it, he can still get the same score!"

"Durant is the type who can never kill anyone by scoring. This kind of player cannot be the core."

…

"Then why doesn't James come to Türkiye? Are you busy making a 'decision'?" Comment from "Kevin Durant".

Cut, cut the wrong number!

It wasn't until a minute later that Durant, who was about to reply to the second post, realized this.

He quickly deleted the comment, but even faster someone took a screenshot and posted it on social media.

This is so embarrassing!

If it wasn't fast enough, he would calmly continue to open a trumpet and continue to argue.

As for those people who liked him, he pretended not to see them at all.

Then after waiting for a while, he logged into the account again and replied to those messages.

What happened? I don’t know, I didn’t do it, that’s not me, that’s someone else’s picture!

It is impossible to admit it. If you admit this kind of thing, you will bring trouble to yourself.

Of course, his explanation was a bit pale.

Because soon others posted similar screenshots.

This incident has triggered a wave of public opinion in North America.

It was already the next day when Lin Ying saw the news.

After reading this, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Durant really can't help but pick up any pot!

This time point is very sensitive. James has just been blacklisted by the United States for his decision.

Durant's operation is equivalent to saying: Come on, let's continue to complain and then criticize!

Hey, the relationship between the two of them is probably getting bigger now.

And the key is some extreme James fans. If the Dream Nine team doesn't win the championship in the end, Durant will be blackened into carbon!

We are good brothers on one side and our country on the other.

Or I can only wrong my brother!

…

After two days of rest, the World Championship final between the Chinese team and the United States began at the Ankara Stadium.

The Ankara Stadium, which can accommodate 10,000 people, was packed.

Although Türkiye was eliminated in the semi-finals, the Chinese team's glorious victory also won the respect of the Turks.

Of course, what’s more important is that we have a dream team!

When the Dream Team came out to play a game, it was either a game or a fan meeting with the stars. The scene when taking photos after the game was much more lively than the game.

Although this Mengjiu team is a little behind in terms of star power, Durant's performance deserves recognition, and it's worth even watching him perform.

Durant, the dark circles under his eyes are a bit serious.

He probably didn't sleep well in the past two days.

When Lin Ying saw this, he could only go over and say a few words of comfort.

After getting along with Durant for a long time, you will naturally know his character, which is very sensitive.

I don’t know how many mobile phone screens I’ve damaged by pressing the button in the past two days.

The warm-up was over and the lineups for both sides were announced one after another.

Chinese team: Chen Jianghua, Sun Yue, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming

Team USA: Rose, Billups, Iguodala, Durant, Chandler

When jumping the ball, Yao Ming glanced at Chandler on the other side and couldn't help but smile.

The story between the two of them is quite old.

The reason why Yao Ming had the confidence to play in the NBA back then was because he defeated Chandler, who was selected as the second overall pick the following year.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the two would meet again in the international arena.

This really corresponds to the saying: All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence!

"beep!"

As the whistle blew on the court, Yao Ming jumped up slightly and moved the ball back to half court, and the World Championship finals officially began!

Yao Ming came up and took the position in the low post.

Now that we have met an old friend, we must catch up on old times!

At this time, we have to mention the benefits brought by Yi Jianlian's change of play. With several players stationed outside, the space on the court is as large as that of the Pacific Ocean.

Yao Ming got a perfect one-on-one opportunity to beat Chandler.

Chandler: Don't come over here!

Although he has lost weight, Yao is obviously more flexible, and Chandler in the Shanghai dance show is a little unsure of his direction.

"Bang!"

The last shot was a solid hit.

Chandler relived his youth.

The Chinese team came out on top!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

As mentioned before, the Dream Team is the public enemy of basketball all over the world, so in a sense, most of the Turkish fans at the scene are now Chinese fans.

Moreover, the Turkish team defeated the Lithuanian team in the third and fourth place finals and won a bronze medal. They were in a good mood.

"when!"

Looking back, Rose made steady mid-range shots.

Without three seconds of defense, Yao Ming would be like Mount Everest at the basket.

Yao Ming got the defensive rebound and the Chinese team played quickly.

Lin Ying caught the ball and passed it to Chen Jianghua in the middle of the transition. Chen Jianghua rushed to the frontcourt to "take you to relive the Beijing Olympics moments" and flew to the basket to score.

4 to 0!

The Chinese team started with a powerful display!

Moreover, it is not easy for the US team to get the ball to Durant at this time.

Under Lin Ying's suggestion, Sun Yue's defensive method in this game was to pinch Durant to catch the ball.

"when!"

Billups' three-pointer from the outside was also interfered by Lin Ying and missed.

The American team started by playing a mamba piano song.

The Chinese team once again played a fast break. This time Chen Jianghua passed the ball from behind to Lin Ying during the fast break. Lin Ying jumped up and made a flying dunk across Rose.

"Bang!"

World famous paintings!

6 to 0!

Old K, call a timeout!

The opening is only 2 minutes long!

The Chinese team was too targeted. The Chinese team directly pushed Mengjiu to the ground and rubbed it!

There were also many domestic fans at the scene who were very excited at this time.

This is the rhythm of really winning the championship!

"Kevin, we need you."

After the timeout, Old K said something to Durant.

As a veteran, he is very clear about the strength of this Mengjiu team. He can only rely on Durant to win the championship.

After the timeout, the US team replaced Chandler with Odom.

This idea is very clear. Yao Ming cannot be guarded anyway, and replacing Odom can help more on the offensive end.

The American team advanced until everyone in the frontcourt was separated, and Durant received the ball with Sun Yue behind the three-point line.

This is no longer about tactics, it's just a simple and rough singles fight.

When Durant changed his back frame to face frame, Sun Yue directly defended.

This is to guard against Durant's shot.

However, Durant is not the same Durant who didn't hold the ball two years ago. He directly jumped on the spot with his feet and changed direction. With a huge change of direction, he passed Sun Yue directly.

The range of direction changes for such a tall man is exaggerated.

And Durant didn't have to go inside at all. He passed Sun Yue in one step and then pulled up and shot.

It doesn't give the rest of the Chinese team a chance to help defend.

"Whoa!"

With dark circles under his eyes, Durant still raised the knife and dropped it!

Team USA finally broke their scoring drought!

This goal also boosted the morale of the American team.

The Chinese team will then pass the ball to Yao Ming, and Durant will directly help defend the basket.

Yi Jianlian received Yao Ming's pass from the bottom corner and missed the three-pointer.

There is still room for improvement in this 3D.

This time it was the American team's turn to play fast break, and Rose was as fast as lightning.

Lin Ying retreated quickly. Rose had no chance for a layup and passed the ball back to Durant who followed up on a fast break.

Durant made an emergency stop at the top of the arc and chased for a three-pointer!

"Whoa!"

Hit again!

This is a 30-meter-long sword, and it is deadly!

In the blink of an eye, Durant scored 5 points in a row, and the American team immediately chased the score to 5-6!

The cheerleaders on the sidelines looked at Durant and said, "Yes, handsome!"

I have to talk about this Turkish cheerleading team in particular. They wear black stockings and pink shorts, paired with a black lace outfit, which is quite eye-catching.

Yao Ming made a strong attack under the basket, but Odom blocked it with all his strength. He also missed the tip-in. The second rebound was grabbed by Durant.

Team USA now has a chance to overtake the score!

Durant continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, but this time his defender changed from Sun Yue to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying looked at Durant with a very clear look, just one sentence:

Brother, come and kill me!
