Chapter 454 The visit of the Thunder Three Young Masters(1/2)
At the beginning of the second half, Parker was also a little anxious. He was defended by Yi Dun in the first half and only scored two goals. This offensive efficiency was definitely unexplainable.
Even in the NBA finals, Parker has never encountered such a dilemma.
It's because Yi Dun's defense is too strict, and Parker doesn't want to score, but he really can't find an opportunity.
Because of his short height, Parker knew very well that if he dared to fight against Yi Dun, the one who greeted him would definitely be blocked.
If you use teammates to shoot with pick-and-roll, you will not be able to completely get rid of Yi Dun at Parker's speed.
Parker's speed is good, but it is not as fast as people think. His 100-meter speed is actually similar to Yi Dun, which is between 10 seconds, 50 and 10 seconds, 60.
Even Parker couldn't use his best breakthrough tonight.
The main reason is that Yi Dun's defense is too targeted, so it is completely a step that Parker is putting aside. Don't underestimate this step. As long as Parker makes a breakthrough, Yi Dun has plenty of time to deal with the interception.
And because the bounce was so good and Parker was too short, even if he took a step, Yi Dun was confident that he would block Parker's shot.
It can be said that Yidun is completely the super nemesis of a small player like Parker. Unless Parker has the speed of Iverson, the situation may turn around.
Parker felt that this game should be the most frustrating game he played in his career, so frustrating that Parker didn't show any good looks throughout the game.
If Yi Dun is just a strong defense, Parker is not unacceptable. Even if Yi Dun completely locks himself up, his teammates are not vegetarians, and their average strength is definitely better than that of Chinese men's basketball players.
But now, Yi Dun is not only strong in defense, but also strong in offense, rebounds and organization. He has almost taken over all the work on the field by himself.
Now that the second half has begun, Parker knows very well that if the situation has not changed much from the first half, their Olympic journey will basically end.
But even if he wanted to make changes to the situation, Parker was powerless. In front of the monster Yidun, Parker had no ability to fight back at all.
"Dududu!"
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team won again, defeating the French men's basketball team with a score of 92:73 and nearly 20 points.
Domestic fans are excited. You should know that the French men's basketball team is also regarded as a team with hope of winning cards. Now it is so vulnerable in front of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Chinese men's basketball team has taken off!
No one expected that after Yao Ming retired, the Chinese men's basketball team would have a chance to take off.
The Chinese men's basketball player celebrated on the court, and Yi Dun, the biggest contributor to win the game, was surrounded by the generals.
"Yidun, we did it!"
"We are here in the semi-finals!"
“We made history!”
Yi Dun was also so excited that he couldn't control his smile. His offensive performance in this game was really impressive, and he scored a very high score of 51 points by a single player!
In addition, there are also data from 22 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 steals, which is another data that is enough to be recorded in the history of the Olympics.
Even though Yi Dun has never played in one NBA game, just with these four Olympic games, Yi Dun can already be a god in the basketball world!
...
After entering the semi-finals, although the opponent below is the American Dream Team 10, domestic fans are also extremely happy.
Even if they lose the next game, the Chinese men's basketball team still has hope of winning the cards, because there is still a third place battle.
If nothing unexpected happens, the four teams entering the semi-finals are China, the United States, Spain and Argentina.
If we predicted before the game, I am afraid that even the most optimistic Chinese fans would never have expected that the Chinese men's basketball team would have reached this level.
There were six games in total. Except for the first two games Yi Dun was away and his defeat, the next four games were completely defeated. Especially in the game against the Australian Men's Basketball Team, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team actually scored the record of the highest score in Olympic history.
However, this record has not been maintained for long. The next night in the United States against Nigeria, it may be that the United States does not want this record to fall on the Chinese men's basketball team, or it may be that Nigeria's strength is too weak, resulting in the American men's basketball team scoring a terrifying score of 151 points in a single game.
In just 40 minutes of the game, 151 points were scored, saying that this was a score from the performance and entertainment competition, and people must believe it.
Is Nigeria weak?
That is indeed weak, but it is not an exaggeration to say that if Yi Dun had not turned the tide, the fate of the Chinese men's basketball team might not have been stronger than Nigeria.
Nigeria lost all the group stages, and the Chinese men's basketball team may have the same outcome.
Now the two most popular teams are about to encounter in the semifinals, which is definitely a basketball event, especially for Chinese fans, the next game will definitely be remembered for their lives.
Before the Chinese men's basketball team played against the American men's basketball team, fans wanted to see how these American stars performed on the court, but this time it was different. Some optimistic fans even felt that the Chinese men's basketball team might overturn the American men's basketball team!
Their reason is very simple. The Chinese men's basketball team beat their opponents in these four games in a row, and their opponents are not weak, and they can win their opponents by more than 20 points per game!
Can Team USA do it? It is indeed possible, but they may not.
So it’s really hard to say that the Chinese men’s basketball team will definitely lose in this game!
If they could really win the American Dream Team, the fans would be trembling all over when they thought about it.
...
On the night of the game, Yi Dun slept particularly sweetly.
Being able to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to this level now can be considered as achieving its goal. There are still two games left in the next, and Yi Dun is satisfied with just winning another game.
Yi Dun never thought that he could lead the team to win money in such a group project alone, which is not a realistic thing to think of.
But I still have to work hard to win, even if there is only one percent hope.
...
Early the next morning, Yi Dun was awakened by a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw three big black men standing at the door. The shortest one seemed to be a little taller than me.
"Yi, my guy, I'm very happy to see you." The shortest player, who looked like a ninja turtle, wanted to give Yi Dun a hug when he came up.
Yi Dun hurriedly retreated. When he saw a ghost in the early morning, there were three black men coming from?
"What are you?" Yi Dun asked curiously.
This question directly made the three of them look embarrassed. The three of them are officially Thunder Third Young Masters, namely Durant, Westbrook and Harden, which are also well-known in the basketball circle.
Unexpectedly, Yi Dun didn’t know them?!
The bearded Harden grinned and said, "Yi, we are players of the American men's basketball team and the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder. Maybe you pay less attention to the NBA games, so you don't know us."
Yi Dun nodded. He did pay less attention to it, but he had some impression of what they said.
"So it's you, is there anything wrong?" Yi Dun asked calmly.
What is my identity? It is not an exaggeration to say that the three people in the sports world are still thousands of miles away from me, so there is definitely no need for me to pretend to be surprised.
"Can you go in and chat?" Durant, the tallest, asked with anticipation in his eyes.
Yi Dun nodded, "Come in."
Three big black men squeezed in, and Yi Dun didn't know what the three of them were thinking about coming to find him.
After sitting down, Yi Dun greeted them without hesitation, looking at the three of them in confusion, hoping that the three of them could give them a reason for visiting them this time.
"Yi, we don't want to disturb you early this morning, but we really want to better express our sincerity, so we came earlier." Westbrook, the shortest, spoke up on his own.
Yi Dun was also wondering, who is the boss of these three? In such occasions, isn’t the boss usually speaking? Could this short man be the boss of the three?
"Sincerity? What sincerity is expressed?" Yi Dun was even more puzzled. He had nothing to do with these three black men.
Fortunately, Yi Dun learned a lot of English before, otherwise it would be difficult for both sides to communicate now.
Westbrook may also hear that Yi Dun's English is not very good, so it is as simple as possible.
"That's right, the three of us want to solemnly invite you to join our team on behalf of the Oklahoma City Thunder."
Yi Dun's mouth twitched, what a joke, come and invite himself to play on their team now?
"Wait, I'll call someone here." Yi Dun felt that he needed to call Yi Jianlian over, but he couldn't communicate with these three black men smoothly.
After calling Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian, who lived next door, walked in.
After seeing the Third Young Master Thunder, Yi Jianlian looked puzzled. He didn't understand when Yi Dun got together with these three people.
Especially after seeing Durant, Yi Jianlian felt a little uncomfortable.
The main reason is that Yi Jianlian and Durant entered the league at the same time, and the rankings of the two are actually not very different.
Durant was the second place in the 2007 draft, while Yi Jianlian ranked sixth, and the gap can be said to be very small.
But looking at the current status of the two, it can be said that they are very different.
After sitting down, Yi Jianlian asked Yi Dun curiously in Chinese, "What are the three of them here?"
"Let me guess, I won't be here to recruit you to join the Thunder now, right?"
"It seems that's what they said just now. Please ask carefully." Yi Dun said speechlessly.
Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly. He could no longer play the NBA anymore, but someone from Yi Dun came to ask him to join.
However, Yi Jianlian also knew that if he had the strength of Yi Dun, there would definitely be many people who came to ask him to join.
Yi Jianlian is now much more mature, and he calmly started chatting with the other three. Yi Dun pricked up his ears and listened carefully, even if there were not many people who could understand them.
"Do you want Yi Dun to join the Thunder?" Yi Jianlian asked straight to the point.
This time Westbrook did not speak, but Durant spoke, "Yi, it's been a long time since we saw each other. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
This sentence deeply hurt Yi Jianlian. What does it mean to have been a long time no see? He was playing basketball with the Mavericks a few months ago and even fought with the Thunder!
