Team USA kicked off and Gary Payton dribbled the ball slowly through the half. He did not rush to attack, but started a positional battle.

While Payton protected the ball, he did not forget to continue to speak trash words to Lu Feng...

"No matter how many points you get, you can't win. Give up as soon as possible, Farke Road!"

"Then, I'm still better than you. Look at our score, 47:8. To be honest, it's really unlucky for Team USA to bring you. It's as disgusting as chewing gum stuck to the soles of your shoes!" Lu Feng said casually.

Payton tsk in disdain and passed the ball to Mo Ning who was inside. Mo Ning turned around and hooked his hand to score.

"At least I can get the team ahead, that's enough, don't envy me."

"Your brain is not sick, do you think I envy you, a clown who only scored 8 points?" Lu Feng held the ball and looked at Payton with contempt: "Don't you think it's your credit, are you, you and your teammates scored 84 points to lead the team ahead?"

Lu Feng did not launch a fast attack because there was no need for him and his teammates couldn't run at all.

Although the other eight teams except Lu Feng and Payton played for only 20 minutes, the mental states of the two teams were completely different.

Although the US team's starting lineup is not physically fit, its condition is not bad. However, the starter on the Chinese team's starting lineup gives people a bad feeling from the beginning, and the speed is much slower.

"Stop mentioning that damn score. You can't win even if you get 100 points. That's the gap!"

After most of the game, the two played countless offenses and defenses, and neither of them wanted to be at a disadvantage. Whether it was basketball or other things, they were... Similarly, the two became more and more tired of each other, and they both disliked each other.

Payton: How could there be such a shameless person? The team is still confident that they are behind?

Lu Feng: How could there be such a shameless person who is so confident that he is beaten up by the opponent?

As soon as the two teams started, the United States increased its lead to 4 points.

But for the Chinese team, there is not no good news. Lu Feng can feel that Payton's speed is getting slower and slower.

Payton's pace slowed down, and Lu Feng would definitely break through to him and amplify his defensive loopholes.

Lu Feng bent his knees, leaned forward, and patted the basketball with his right hand to the left, then pulled the ball to the right with an in and out.

Payton slowed down a little, but still followed Lu Feng's change of direction.

Lu Feng rushed out step by step. Just as Peyton was about to fight against him, Lu Feng came with an Irving-style back with an extremely low center of gravity and turned around to dribble.

Not only was Payton passed, but he was also pushed aside and couldn't speed up.

Failed to catch up with him, Payton subconsciously reached out to grab Lu Feng's jersey. Lu Feng threw the ball with one hand when the jersey was caught and the center of gravity was tilted to one side.

The ball hit the whistle and Lu Feng scored 2+1!

"This is useless. No matter what action you use, I am still scoring. My hands are so hot that they can't stop. Now it's 50:8!" Lu Feng said viciously to Payton.

Payton responded dissatisfied: "Let's get the ball first!"

"No, I still need to watch my free throw?"

"Do you know what the real gap is? The real gap is that in the future, whenever someone talks about this game, they will only remember one thing. I humiliated you hard in this game, and scored 50 points and 60 points!"

"Damn it, if you think about it this way, your luck seems to be pretty good. Even if you accomplish nothing in the future, you can still be remembered in this way. Gary, you should say thank you to me."

Payton: “…”

Although Payton was not convinced by Lu Feng, he also knew that his scoring ability was not as good as Lu Feng.

But he didn't care much. Isn't it normal for Lu Feng to score less than that, as long as he can win the game.

Payton looked at his teammates, all of whom were elite soldiers and then looked at Lu Feng’s teammates... they were all unrecognizable passers-by faces. Payton felt much more comfortable!

But soon his mood was not so good, because Lu Feng seemed to have decided, and he stopped shooting the basket at once and kept breaking through.

Lu Feng did this to disrupt the US inside line, and it is best to be able to make fouls in the US inside line, which can reduce the pressure on some teammates.

After Payton was broken through, Billy Owens immediately assisted in defense and helped Payton make up for the position.

But once he fills up, Ma Jian's position is completely empty. Ma Jian, who cuts in, receives the pass and dunks.

Lu Feng broke through Payton's defense again and again, attacked the basket, and faced the assisted defense of others, and assisted his teammates to score.

Payton defended Lu Feng for most of the game. He was tired at first, but after slowing down, he could not defend Lu Feng's breakthrough at all. However, he could not ignore the opponent directly, so he could only become more and more tired. After a few rounds, Payton felt that he was about to be broken into a Muggle.

Although Lu Feng was able to play Payton frequently, he was not happy at all because the shooting percentage of other people in the national team was also declining.

Especially the national team's outside shooting, Lu Feng broke through and passed the ball several times, and his teammates failed to make an open shot. Although Lu Feng's singles efficiency was maintained, the overall efficiency of the national team was not maintained.

You should know that compared with the starter of China and the United States, the biggest problem is that the inside line cannot grab rebounds and the number of attacks is not as good as the United States, and the efficiency is slightly reduced, the American team can widen the gap.

The national team has a pair of Song Ligang in the interior, and Gong Xiaobin faces Mo Ning and Larry Johnson of the United States. Although they are about the same height, the Chinese team's figure is a lot thinner than the American team's two.

Payton was suddenly scared by Lu Feng, and he unconsciously retreated when defending.

Seeing that Payton was not waiting to lie down and let him beat him, Lu Feng actually tried to resist with a clever mind and decided to teach him how to be a good person.

He shot with a tentative step and a fake move to ignite Payton, jumped up and leaned against him, causing a three-point foul.

Lu Feng made two free throws, with 3 minutes left in the game, 95:97, Team USA led by 2 points and Payton fouled 4 times!

Old K on the bench saw Lu Feng missing one free throw and took a breath. If Lu Feng made three free throws, the difference between the two teams would be only 1 point. Even if the United States scored 2 points, China would only need one 3-pointer to tie.

Fortunately, the US team is now leading by 2 points, and it is still its own offensive round. As long as it can score the next goal and pull the difference to 4 points, the probability of winning this game is very high.

"Guys, don't be anxious, control the time, play more at the basket, and play success rate!"

At this time, Payton was not in the mood to continue saying trash to Lu Feng. As soon as he dribbled the ball, he saw Larry Johnson and Mooning in the inside raise their hands to ask for the ball at the same time.

He thought about it and passed the ball to Mo Ning, who was in better shape in this game. Mo Ning turned over and jumped into the ball!

95:99, Team USA leads by 4 points, and the Chinese team applies for a timeout!

At this time, in the CBS studio where the World Championships was broadcast live, several commentators said excitedly:

"There are two minutes left in the game, and the US team still maintains a 4-point lead. The US team played much harder in this game than we imagined. The Chinese team looks very strong, especially Lark, no one can stop him from scoring!"

"Damn it, isn't we playing too badly? Wake up and wake up. We need to send real NBA stars. Why did Yugoslavia make NBA players join us? We are still using a group of college students?"

"Hey, guys, shouldn't we focus on the game now? The Chinese team still looks like a big chance. Lark is not the one who gives up so easily!"

...

Lu Feng took a deep breath. He knew that in the last two and a half points, he could not miss a single shot, so that the Chinese team would have hope of winning.

He dribbled through half the court, and Payton opened his hands and waited in front.

After hesitating, Lu Feng closed his hands, and Payton subconsciously tiptoed, but found that this was a worship of Buddha. Before he could prepare, Lu Feng slipped in directly next to him.

Lu Feng did not stop and made a mid-range shot from mid-range shot, but continued to rush to the inside. As soon as he stepped into the free throw line, Lu Feng jumped up, and Morning and Larry Johnson immediately assisted in defense.

Put the ball in his arms, and after the three people collided, Lu Feng's hand holding the ball passed through the gap between Morning and Larry Johnson, and then gently hooked up.

A high-difficulty pull-rod picking basket under a double-teamed double-team - swish!

The only regret is that this ball did not foul, it was just a 2-pointer, which was inconsistent with Lu Feng's expectations. He clearly wanted to score 3-pointers!

97:99, Team USA attacks!

At this time, no matter which side, the players are under great pressure, and no one dares to be too arrogant. At the same time, everyone is afraid of taking the blame.

This is how the United States team was. The basketball was passed around in the hands of several people, and when it finally came to Kenny Anderson, there was no more time.

Anderson was confused. He was just a role player in the first few games of Team USA. He didn't even get a mobile phone number in total. What does it mean to give him the key ball now?

In a hurry, he could only take action when there was not much time, but...swish!

Anderson scored 2 points with a buzzer!

With the last 50 seconds left, the score was 97:101, and the United States still leads by 4 points!

The Chinese team called a timeout, mainly to give Lu Feng a rest. They had no special tactics to arrange. Everyone knew that the person in charge of the Chinese team's offense was Lu Feng in the end.

"Fengzi, do you want to grab a three-pointer? Or should you just make a steady score and then use a foul tactic?"

"Grab! I would rather bet on my own feel than bet on the opposite side!"

"I don't suppress time. If I shoot in, don't foul it. If I can't shoot in, then I will play foul tactics."

Without any hesitation, Lu Feng took on the task of shooting a desperate three-pointer. In his plan, he would shoot three-pointers from the beginning. Only by making this three-pointer would he have a chance to turn the tables.

The Chinese team kicked off, Lu Feng bypassed the cover, got the ball in two steps outside the three-point line, and then took action without any hesitation!

Everyone was stunned. The Chinese team's offense was still long, and no one expected Lu Feng to take action like this.

How could such a ball be possible...swish!

Everyone: "..."

"Lu Feng scored 3 points, and there are 45 seconds left. There is still a chance, and the Chinese team has not lost yet!"

"The United States called a timeout, and the last attack is here. Keep it, and you will have a chance!"

"The person wearing the No. 4 jersey is 17-year-old Lu Feng, who..."

...

100:101, there are 45 seconds left, and now the problem is on the side of the US team, so Lao K also called a timeout in time.

Team USA attacked, Payton held the ball and suppressed the time, and did not rush to attack.

Finally, the ball was given to Larry Johnson, the best performer in the US team, who played Gong Xiaobin with the ball.
