The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 442 The Finals Begin!

——LongCCTV! Long CCTV! This is the Olympic basketball special. I am your old friend Sun Zhengping. What I am about to bring you is the finals of the men's basketball event of the 2004 Athens Olympics! The Dragon State men's basketball team, led by Lin Dong and Yao Ming, faced off against the American Dream Team!

——In this Olympic Games, the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team has brought us too many surprises. Facing top players from all over the world, it has not lost a single game so far. It has reached the finals and has completed or even surpassed what we have done before. I want to take a historical step beyond the top four! This Dragon Nation men's basketball team is unprecedentedly powerful! Of course, our opponent, the US team, has also won seven consecutive games in previous games!

——All ball commentators have made detailed analyzes of this game before the game. They believe that the US men's basketball team still has an absolute advantage. The top superstars in the NBA are now gathered together, and their overall strength and bench depth are far inferior to those of the Dragon Country. Men's basketball can't compare.

——However, the Dragon State men's basketball team still has a chance to defeat this American team with a super luxurious lineup, because we have Lin Dong and we have Yao Ming! Even if you look at the whole world, the famous Eastern combination is one of the best, and the opponents they faced today are all their familiar opponents and even teammates in the NBA...

Director Sun's voice resounded passionately in the live broadcast room, full of passion, and quickly spread to every corner of the Dragon Kingdom.

——Must win! Must win! The Dragon Kingdom must win!

——Lin Dong! Yao Ming! Famous in the East!

——Haha, you see there are many foreign fans at the scene who like our Lin Dong!

——The whole world is a fan of Lin Dong! They are all fans of our Dragon Kingdom!

Crazy fans are everywhere across the country, waving posters and flags of Lin Dong, Yao Ming, etc., gathering in streets, alleys, and restaurants, watching TV with excitement and cheering.

Especially when I saw that there were many fans from other countries around the world, wearing red Dragon Country uniforms, holding Lin Dong's plaque and cheering for the Dragon Country, the whole nation was excited in front of the TV. Already...

In this era of 2004, a nation that has suffered for two hundred years has just stood up. It lacks self-confidence and is extremely eager to be recognized by the world. When you see foreigners worshiping the stars of your country, the sense of pride is unparalleled.

Mr. Lin was sitting in the dormitory courtyard of the Railway Bureau, with a white projection screen in front of him. The old man put on his favorite Tang suit while leaning on a cane. He sat high-spirited at the front and center of everyone, watching the foreigners on the TV. The scene of waving flags and cheering for his grandson made his face glow with excitement.

"Old man, it's Xiao Linzi! Look, Xiao Linzi is out!"

"Hahaha, old man, look at those foreigners holding Xiaolinzi signs, jumping up and down, and shouting more excitedly than us!"

"Do the foreign devils also like our stars from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Old Mrs. Lin was so happy that he felt like he was about to fly, but his face was indifferent: "What a fuss!"

The old man leaned on crutches and tried his best to hide the smile on his face: "Didn't you see that time when Xiaodong won the championship in the United States? Oops! The whole city was blocked and I saw many girls were so excited. I fainted at the scene. Do you know why? There were too many people and there was no oxygen! It’s much crazier than this. What’s the big deal? You guys just haven’t seen the world!”

"Oh, then Xiao Linzi won't be able to find a foreign woman to come back from now on?"

"Didn't I say there is already one? That American-Japanese mixed-race guy...here! That's the one! Look, I've got the camera!"

Some people exclaimed and pointed at the TV screen with a look of envy on their faces. They even had to give the girls of the right age around them a look. Why didn't these blind girls become enlightened back then? Lin Dong was still living in this community at that time. What a great opportunity. If you seize it more quickly, it will be yours to go to the scene and show your face in front of the whole world, but it will be snatched away by a foreign woman...

"They are Arabs!" The old man quickly corrected him. He didn't want to hear about his grandson's wife's relationship with Japan and the United States: "It's the country that invented 12345, do you know?"

"I heard they don't eat pork?"

"Aren't they the Hui people? They are our own people!"

"That's right!" The old man was very satisfied with the word 'one of his own', but he still didn't want to dwell too much on this issue. He stomped the crutch in his hand vigorously. Now, he is the absolute leader in this unit and community. : "Okay! Be quiet, be quiet, don't make a fuss, watch the game, the game is important!"

Players from both teams have already entered the stadium to complete their warm-up and are waiting for the coach's tactical instructions on the bench. The camera also moved to the sidelines following the players of the two teams.

There are quite a lot of fans of Long Guo at the scene, and less than 1/3 of them are from Long Guo. Most of the people who support Long Guo and Lin Dong are foreign fans, including a large number of international players who are fans of Lin Dong such as Fernandez. It took up more than 2/3 of the scene, making the scene almost a sea of ​​red.

Frankly speaking, in previous years, this was something that would have been unimaginable.

NBA basketball superstars not only always represent the highest level of basketball on the planet, but also represent massive fans around the world. Any fan who likes basketball will always be a fan of someone in the NBA, and these choices Nothing more than Jordan, Iverson, Kobe and so on.

After all, since the NBA began to go global in the 1990s, there have been too many Jordan fans, and since the OK team won three consecutive championships, there have been too many Kobe fans. Even outside of these two, most of them will be regarded as single-handedly. Attracted by Iverson, who restricted the OK group and had great personal charm.

It is human nature to worship the strong, and it is common sense to follow whoever is the strongest.

But as the saying goes, the world's aesthetics has been around for a long time, and there are just a few Americans who like it, but now there is Lin Dong.

Not only did he defeat Jordan, Kobe and other masters with his absolute strength, and conquered the entire NBA to win two consecutive championships with various records that broke history, but he was not even an American from the basketball empire.

Regardless of his strength or identity, he has clearly won the hearts of fans all over the world. His popularity is so overwhelming that in previous years, most of the fans who came to watch the NBA All-Star Game actually became Dragon Kingdom. fans.

——Dragon Kingdom! Dragon Kingdom! Dragon Kingdom!

--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!

The roar of the mountain and the tsunami-like sound at the scene gave Mengliu a feeling that was definitely different from what they had experienced before.

In the past, international competitions only made them feel relaxed and playful, but now, what they feel is pressure!

Fortunately, they also have the most pressure-resistant players on the planet.

"Hey guys, don't forget why we gathered here!" Old K said to everyone.

Kobe Bryant responded with a smile: "To beat Lin Dong."

"Of course it's to defeat Lin! Otherwise, there won't be any need for us to be an Olympic champion or something like that, hahaha!" Others behind him responded one after another.

"However, even if we have the deepest bench depth in the world and the most complete tactical chain..." Old K said with a smile: "You have all played against Lin Dong. Imagine if you faced a 120 % Lin Dong’s performance, regardless of reaction, speed, and skills.”

Frankly speaking, since Old K took over the team, he has been constantly emphasizing Lin Dong's strength in the team. Everyone knows what Old K means. He does not want everyone to underestimate the enemy or relax in the slightest, but this has already happened. Isn't it a bit demoralizing to do this kind of psychological construction on the field?

But it was Old K after all, so everyone still followed his instructions and imagined a Lin Dong whose reaction, speed, and skills were improved by 20% above the limit.

And when I thought about it carefully, I immediately felt a headache, and my mind was filled with images of being passed by, dunked by, and intercepted by Lin Dong... It was like a nightmare!

"I know some of you are still dissatisfied with the tactics I arranged, or you are dissatisfied with this arrangement," Old K said with a smile: "But you remember, there is no upper limit to human potential. In such a situation, On the field, Lin Dong may not be able to reach the level you imagined, so..."

"Don't try to defend him alone, don't try to defend him alone, definitely don't try to defend him alone!" Old K repeated this sentence twice coldly, and finally said: "I don't care what kind of superstar you are, I only know that I have already been defeated by that kid once, and I don’t want to be defeated again. So if anyone thinks that he can deal with Lin Dong and do things other than tactics, then I will not hesitate to replace him. !”

"Follow my tactics. What I want is not only to win, but also to completely defeat this Dragon Nation team so that they will never be able to think of challenging us even in the future!"

"So, you are not here to express yourself, let alone defeat someone!" After Old K finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to all the players: "You are here to win the championship and defend the honor of the basketball empire!"

Frankly speaking, if this is said about Long Guo, there is no problem in putting national honor above all else.

But for Americans, national honor is not necessarily higher than personal honor. Most of them come here not to become Olympic champions, but to defeat Lin Dong. But Lao K is not only tactically Limiting their personal performance, and even trying to deprive them of their personality on a psychological level.

All the players hesitated for a moment, but LeBron was the first to reach out and touch Old K's hand without hesitation: "Defend the honor! Defeat the Dragon Kingdom!"

This time, the superstars who were a little distracted and had their own thoughts were finally brought back.

I thought that with such a strong lineup assembled and Lao K's timely dispatch, even a round-robin battle would be enough to kill Lin Dong and Yao Ming. However, after imagining Lin Dong at 120%, everyone felt that it really didn't seem possible. Too easy to die...

Of course they think personal honor is more important, but if a group of super giants are defeated by the dual core of Lin Dong and Yao Ming, it will be embarrassing for Dafa.

No matter what, let's listen to old K first and then we can win the game steadily.

One after another, the big hands finally crossed each other, and the super giants finally put away their previous playful smiles.

"God bless America, America will win!"

A smile appeared on Old K's face, and two words came out of his mouth: "Tactics 1!"

At this time, Long Guo was on the bench.

"Everyone thinks that just because we got here is a huge success, but we can't think like that."

A dozen team members gathered together with hands on shoulders, listening to Lin Dong talking.

"Relaxation and contentment are a stress reliever for us, but they are also our biggest enemies!"

"No one in this world will remember the runner-up, and we are not the team that came to this arena just to break through the so-called historical step. What are we here to do?"

"Win the championship!"

"Win the championship! Win the championship! Win the championship!"

Lin Dong smiled and stretched out his hand. He could feel the fear of the American team on the opposite side, but now that they have come this far, no one wants to lose.

Although the Dragon Kingdom team still has many problems, I will solve the problems that others cannot solve!

If no one else in the Dragon Kingdom can score, I will take the shot!

The experience of winning two championships brings an absolute confidence that I am God and I can solve everything.

All that was left was to fight hard, and he roared in a low voice: "The Dragon Kingdom will win!"

…………

Starting lineup for the U.S. team: center Tim Duncan, power forward Ben Wallace, small forward Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Iverson.

The starting lineup for the Dragon Kingdom team: center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Lin Dong, shooting guard Zhu Fangyu, and point guard Liu Wei.

In terms of mobilization and psychological construction before the game, everything Long Guo should do has already been done.

Frankly speaking, standing on the stage of this finals with an invincible attitude of winning 7 games, challenging the American team with an NBA All-Star lineup.

That huge sense of pride and invincibility makes everyone on this team feel that they are in unprecedented good shape.

As soon as we stood on the court, we could feel that everyone's excitement level was very high, showing excitement and concentration.

"Hi, Lin!" Kobe Bryant greeted Lin Dong with a smile: "It's my turn to win."

Lin Dong was startled for a moment, then responded with a smile: "We'll talk about it after I retire."

"Hey!" Kobe smiled.

beep!

At this moment, following the referee's order, Dayao and Duncan, who were responsible for jumping the ball, jumped at the same time.

The advantage of height and wingspan and absolute concentration made Dayao feel like a god descending from heaven at this moment.

"Roar!" Dayao roared, and the height of his jump was at least 50-60 centimeters. He was the first to catch the basketball and hit the ball steadily in the direction of Lin Dong.

Lin Dong catches the ball and Long Guo has the ball!

The game finally begins! The thousands of Dragon Country fans at the scene, as well as the countless fans in distant foreign countries who were watching in front of the TV, all cheered at this moment.

--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!

As soon as the ball came to Lin Dong's hands, there was already a sound like cheering for MVP, but the next second...

Hoo, ho!

The two figures immediately blocked Lin Dong without hesitation.

Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony.

Two against one!
