Chapter 156: A Sword of Light and Cold Nineteen States

Kobe's subsequent back-shot hit Sun Yue with two points made the scene completely quiet.

There are 50 seconds left before the end of the game, but everyone knows that with Li Rong's injury, the Chinese team has been 50 light-years away from the championship.

"Kobe is still amazing!" Zhang Weiping sighed long, "What the Chinese team has to do is to give the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming is the biggest point that the Chinese team has to grasp. As long as they can score in the next round and then defend themselves against the next round, the US team will have to foul."

It's simple, but if it's really that simple, the Chinese team will not be chased by the opponent for 4 points in these two rounds.

Yunas had lowered his high head in the audience.

He remembered a saying that Chinese people often say: Plan for things depends on people, and accomplishment depends on heaven.

It is said that this is the sigh of an ancient Chinese official after losing a key battle.

Now Yunas is deeply touched. All the planning, all the calculations, including Howard's foul in the fourth quarter, and all the various things made him feel that he could win this game at some point.

But at the critical moment, Li Rong's injury disrupted everything.

Perhaps in the next year, month and day, he will think of this century battle that missed the championship.

This game made him hopelessly and finally only gain regrets.

As for the next Olympics, Yao Ming was 32 years old at that time, and Li Rong will also begin to reach the peak of his player career. Perhaps these two people can still dominate the arena.

But the rest of the national team don’t know if they can usher in a golden age.

Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng...

These players have already passed their peak age by then, and this national team is hard to come by.

The most important thing is that Yunas doesn't know whether he can coach in China in four years.

Perhaps, this will be the most regrettable failure in his coaching career.

In contrast to Yunas, the head coach of the Dream Team, Coach K, secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a light breath.

The mid-range shot that Li Rong made before leaving the court almost made him desperate. This young man could create unlimited pressure on the US team as long as he was on the court.

If he was present at this time, the US team would never dare to use the full-game pressing tactic against the Chinese team on such a large scale. His pass would easily tear all the defense line.

Especially the cooperation between him and Yao Ming is not an exaggeration to call it "unsolvable".

Fortunately, he left the field due to injury, I hope his injury is not serious.

No matter how ugly the process is, at least the United States has regained this key international gold medal.

Otherwise, I don’t know how those media will ridicule American basketball players after they go back.

Coach K was thinking, and suddenly heard the sound of roaring and tsunamis in the audience again.

Chinese fans are still good and very enthusiastic. Except for the game against the Chinese team, the Dream Team seems to be back at home.

Maybe they want to give the players on the court some extra energy through shouting, but in the end, strength is the king of the basketball court...

Coach K smiled and turned around and glanced at the fans behind him, and his smile immediately became rigid on his face.

That man, the man wearing No. 12 jersey, was slowly walking out of the entrance of the passage, with a calm expression on his face, and waved his arms to the audience on both sides of the passage.

Yunas also found Li Rong walking to the sidelines, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"It's Li Rong!" Sun Zhengping shouted, "He's back!"

"I'm back! I'm back!" Zhang Weiping murmured, feeling his nostrils a little sore.

Li Rong stood on the sidelines and nodded at Yunas, then looked up at the score on the timing board.

Yunas clenched his fists and immediately applied to the referee for a substitution.

The broadcast on the scene immediately shouted loudly to the audience: "The Chinese team requested a substitution! Li Rong of No. 12 replaced No. 8 Zhu Fangyu!"

Zhu Fangyu walked to the sidelines and hugged Li Rong tightly, then thrashed Li Rong's chest hard: "Come on!"

Then, the Chinese team members took turns to embrace Li Rong, and finally Yao Ming.

After they parted, the two looked at each other and everything was silent.

Compared with the excitement of the Chinese team, everyone in the United States was a little stunned.

He's fine?

He actually came back?

How did he do it?

The referee blew the whistle quickly and the game started again.

Sun Yue served in the backcourt, and Li Rong received the ball and carefully controlled the game time.

Li Rong made a comeback, and the US team immediately changed its defensive formation and did not dare to implement the full-game pressing tactics.

At such a critical moment, once the ball is intercepted, with Li Rong's passing skills, others will definitely have the opportunity to shoot easily, especially with Yao Ming on the court, which is very irrational.

However, Team USA soon regretted the decision just now.

Judging from Li Rong's dribbling posture, it is obvious that his left foot is not very brave to exert force.

He is holding on!

James, who was defending Li Rong, immediately judged Li Rong's situation at this time.

But it was too late, and Li Rong's pass had already flown to Yao Ming, who was inside.

Yao Ming's inside line disturbed the US team's inside line, and almost everyone in the US team retreated into the inside line and blocked it.

Yao Ming's pass was a little slow, but he still gave it.

Liu Wei received the ball at the middle distance and looked up and saw Li Rong in the large open space at the top of the arc, and hesitated a little.

He also saw that Li Rong was now playing with an injured leg, and he didn't know if the injury had any effect on his shooting.

Team USA did not give him too much hesitation time, and Kobe and Paul had already begun to approach him frantically.

Liu Wei gritted his teeth and distributed the ball to Li Rong on the outside.

After Li Rong came on the court, he used a physical recovery card, and there was absolutely no problem with physical strength at this time.

But as others have guessed, his left foot is in a bad condition and he is not very brave to exert force.

However, at such a critical moment, he was not allowed to do anything he wanted.

Li Rong received the ball, raised his hand and glanced at the ring, and shot a bump on tiptoe, while activating the purple shooting percentage card in the system space.

He fought alone for three thousand miles, and the sword shone with a cold nineteen states.

As soon as the ball was shot, James rushed out of the inside like a predatory eagle.

"Bang!" James failed to stop his steps and knocked down Li Rong, who had just completed the shot.

"The ball is in!" Sun Zhengping shouted excitedly, "The ball is in! After Li Rong came back, he made a key three-pointer! Wait... The referee also gave James a shooting foul! This is a 31!"

"So beautiful!" Zhang Weiping said excitedly, "This is a goal to lock in the victory! Li Rong can still make a key goal with a wounded leg!"

The players of the US team were already anxious. Kobe and Howard surrounded the referee and began to ask for an explanation: "Li Rong has taken the ball, and you should not judge a foul again!"

"James put his hands on his hips and kept shaking his head, obviously he could not accept the result of the penalty.

"Shut up!" the referee warned with a frown.

"Shit!" Howard cursed, "You must have accepted a bribe from the Chinese, so just give the champion to them!"

"Dou!" The referee crossed his hands and gave a technical foul gesture. Then he waved his arms and directly sent Howard out of the field.

"Technical foul!" Zhang Weiping was happy, "It's stable now, you can throw two free throws! Technical fouls in international competitions are counted as personal fouls, and Howard left the field directly."

The old coach K on the sidelines had already numb his expression and was staring at everything that was happening on the field.

It's all over, everything is over.

American basketball has lost in international competitions again, and he, the head coach, cannot be blamed.

Li Rong then made three free throws.

Then he endured the pain and ran to Yao Ming's mid-line serve, and was sent to the free throw line again, and made two free throws.

Although Kobe hit the final desperate three-pointer, the US team is already out of reach.
