NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 89 [89] The main defense against Manu Ginobili, the most difficult battle in the group stage, Jordan lived up to his reputation in 20 minutes!
On August 8th, as the Yadian Olympic Games entered the sixth competition day, gold medals in various sports also emerged one after another.

There are constantly new historical records being produced, and there are also touching deeds of counterattacks to win the championship and become famous.

The 19-year-old American teenager Michael Phelps has undoubtedly become the most star-studded athlete in the Yadian Olympics. He has won 4 gold medals in swimming...

The Tianchao delegation has already won 10 gold medals in the first shooting, diving, weightlifting and judo events. Guo Jingjing and Tian Liang easily won the championships in the women's three-meter springboard and men's ten-meter platform. The name of the Chinese diving dream team No. Well deserved.

Lin Fei also sent congratulatory text messages to Guo Jingjing, Tian Liang and others, and the journey of himself and the Tianchao men's basketball team is still going on.

Eight o'clock in the evening on August 8th.

Lin Fei and the Tianchao men's basketball team ushered in Group A, another top team in the world basketball after Spain,
That is naturally Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola led the Blue and White Army Argen suspension.

As a time traveler, Lin Fei naturally knows better than the people around him now, what a miraculous feat the Argentine men's basketball team has created in the 04 Yadian Olympic Games.

Lin Fei remembered that in the original world, the Chinese delegation won a total of 04 gold medals in the 32 Olympic Games, while Agen only won two gold medals, namely men's basketball and men's football.

Although it cannot be said that Agen's two gold medals are worth more than China's 32 yuan, the influence of the men's basketball and men's football two Olympic gold medals is absolutely greater than any other Olympic event.

For Lin Fei, this group match against Agen must be much more difficult than the first match against Spain.

During the warm-up session before the game, Ginobili also had a warm exchange with Dayao on the sidelines, and Lin Fei, who was shooting on the court, also waved and greeted each other.

Although after Lin Fei was born in the playoffs, he only played less than 10 games against the Lakers and the Pistons,
But after all, he fought with the Timberwolves in his rookie season. Even though he didn't have much playing time, he had some exchanges and understanding with many international players who were also foreigners before and after the game.

So Lin Fei, Ginobili, Nowitzki and other international players are already no strangers.

As early as after Lin Fei helped the Timberwolves win the championship in the finals, Ginobili also publicly congratulated on social media, and said that he looked forward to competing with the Celestial Dynasty led by Lin Fei and Dayao in the Olympics.

Zhu Fangyu always followed Lin Fei and continued to study the details of his shooting tirelessly.

"Lin Fei, who do you think is more difficult to fight, A Genting or Spain? We both won the first game by 16 points. As long as we play normally tonight, it shouldn't be too difficult to beat A Genting, right?"

Facing Zhu Fangyu's naive words, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Old Zhu, you are too flirtatious. Both Xi Panya and A Genting can easily win, so besides the United States, aren't we the second in the world?"

"Besides, there must be at least 6 NBA-level players in this Argentina team. Do you think it's scary or not?"

Zhu Fangyu's eyes widened immediately, and he turned around to look at the Agen players on the opponent's half, and said in surprise:

"Six NBA-level players? How is that possible? Isn't there only one Ginobili?"

At the juncture of the 04 Yadian Olympic Games, Ginobili was indeed the only one among Argento's national teams to play in the NBA, and he only played for two seasons.

With a similar situation to the China Basketball Association, coupled with various obstructions in the European League, it is not easy for Argen to stop players thinking of playing in the NBA.

"Luis Scola was a second-round pick in 2002, right? Although he hasn't landed in the NBA yet, he doesn't have enough strength to be selected?"

"And Carlos Delfino, like me, was a rookie in 03, and he was the 25th pick in the first round. He will land in the NBA to play for the Pistons in the new season!"

Zhu Fangyu nodded and said, "These two players are really strong and must be considered NBA-level, but there are only three of them?"

Lin Fei continued to smile. For a time traveler, this question is completely an open-book exam:

"Fabrizio Oberto, Walter Hermann, Andres Nocioni, these three players will definitely go to the NBA to play in the future. Isn't this the 6?"

Seeing Zhu Fangyu's obviously disbelieving expression, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Why? Don't believe it? Why don't we just make a bet?"

Zhu Fangyu naturally didn't believe it. How could it be possible that all three players were picked by Lin Fei:

"What are you gambling?"

Lin Fei was standing at a 0-degree angle on the left, and easily threw the basketball in his hand into the basket. After thinking for a while, he said:

"If my guess is true, these three players have all gone to play in the NBA within 3 seasons, as long as they get the NBA contract, then you have lost!"

"If you lose, you have to promise me one thing unconditionally. As for what it is, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll talk about it when the time comes!"

Zhu Fangyu obviously didn't think he could say it, so he nodded his head confidently and said, "Okay, Lin Fei, then you're doomed this time!"

The time soon came to [-] o'clock in the evening, and under the signal of the referee, the game officially started.

The starting players of the two teams all took to the court.

The starting five tigers of the Tianchao men's basketball team are:

Point guard (PG): Liu Wei,

Shooting guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Zhu Fangyu,

Power Forward (PF): Roughly,

Center (C): Dayao.

In order to match the strength of Agen's starting lineup and get a good start, Del Harris put Lin Fei in the starting lineup tonight, and asked veteran Li Nan to play as a substitute.

For this reason, Li Nan naturally has no complaints. As the saying goes, those who can do more work, Lin Fei hit a total of 15 three-pointers in the first two group matches, scoring 56 points, and Xiao Li Feidao naturally admired the five-body shot.

Agen's starting five for the men's basketball team are:
Point Guard (PG): Pabello Prigioni.

Shooting Guard (SG): Manu Ginobili,

Small Forward (SF): Carlos Delfino,

Power Forward (PF): Luis Scola,

Center (C): Fabricio Oberto.

Lin Fei has always been very respectful of the former World 04 Argento men's basketball team defeating the American Dream Six to win the championship, and Ginobili winning the only MVP trophy in the history of the Olympic men's basketball team.

Standing on the field and facing off against the "Golden Generation" who also wore the blue and white jerseys of the national flag of Argentina, Lin Fei was not surprised why they were able to beat the United States.

Except for Prigioni, the other four players in the starting lineup are all NBA-level players.
Herman, Nocioni and others on the bench are also forward players who are about to land in the NBA.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lineup of the "Golden Generation" of the Argentina men's basketball team this year, all 12 players, almost all have the ability to play off the bench in the NBA.

With such a deep and terrifying lineup, and a men's basketball national team with Ginobili and Scola's two core internal and external cores, it will not be surprising that they can beat the American Dream Six.

"Beep!"

Dayao flew the basketball over Oberto's head, Liu Wei dribbled the ball forward, and the Tianchao men's basketball team took the lead in attacking in the opening game.

"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience, this is Tianchao Wutai, I am the host Yu Jia, and the person sitting next to me is Director Zhang!"

"What we are seeing now is the third round of the men's basketball group match of the Yadian Olympic Games. The Tianchao men's basketball team is suspended against Agen!"

"The one wearing the red jersey on the court is our Tianchao team, and the one with the white and white basketball jersey is Agen's team!"

With the Tianchao men's basketball team's two consecutive victories in the group stage, Zhang coached the former men's basketball national player to be more and more elated. Even if Yang Ma didn't give money, he was willing to explain every game between Lin Fei and the men's basketball team.

But facing Argentine tonight, the Tianchao men's basketball team obviously didn't start smoothly.

"Oh, Liu Wei's pass was too risky, it was intercepted by Ginobili directly,"

"Lin Fei returned to defense quickly, but Ginobili still scored two points with a layup!"

"Ginobili's European step is really amazing, it is obviously better than Navarro of the Spanish team!"

"It seems that when facing Ginobili tonight, Lin Fei's defensive pressure will definitely be greater!"

"Hey, Dayao didn't hold the ball firmly at the basket, and was directly slapped to the ground by Scola. Agen stopped the team and launched a quick counterattack!"

"Ginobili borrowed a cover from Oberto at the top of the frontcourt, ran back and threw away Lin Fei, received a pass from point guard Prigioni, and made a decisive three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left!"

"Yes, Ginobili came up and scored 5 points in a row. It seems that our Tianchao men's basketball team is not prepared enough. Coach Harris should call a timeout as soon as possible. If this continues, it will be terrible!"

Because of the time difference, the game started at Yadian at 2:[-] p.m., and the time in the Imperial Capital of China was already [-]:[-] a.m.

But even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiastic fans from staying up late to watch the game.

Some fans set the alarm clock half an hour in advance, but found it was useless because they were too excited to fall asleep.

There are also some male fans who made a table of appetizers at home in advance, called a few fans and friends together, chatted while drinking, and looked forward to the start of the game.

Because it was just in time for the weekend, the bar night business was also the most prosperous. Most of the bars played the men's basketball Olympic focus game that the Chinese people were looking forward to.

This year's Tianchao men's basketball team has attracted the attention of the Chinese people. It is believed that they have the opportunity to break history and reach the semi-finals, and even hit a men's basketball medal.

After the 16-point victory over Ouzhou strong team Xipanya in the first game, the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans has increased even more.
Lin Fei, who hit 15 three-pointers in total and scored 56 points in the first two rounds, is self-evidently popular among the fans of Tianchao thanks to the enthusiasm of the NBA Finals.

At present, whether it is Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey in the Timberwolves or his No. 9 jersey in the national team, the sales are very hot, and pirated jerseys are also emerging in an endless stream.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Ningbo City.

In a bar named HEAT in Binhai, Beilun District, it was overcrowded at 2:[-] a.m., the spotlights were shining brightly, heavy metal music beat the soul, and men and women were unrestrained.

On the huge big screen, the men's basketball team VS Agen of Tianchao Wutai was playing at this time.

"Boss Liu in Box No. 3, spend 3000 yuan tonight. I wish Boss Liu a prosperous business and a lot of money!"

The voice of the host shouting Mai was loud and deafening.

At this time, in the No. 3 box of the bar, a middle-aged man who had bald for more than 30 years had already drunk his mouth. Surrounded by six or seven bar hostesses, he watched Lin Fei running on the court on the TV screen. I couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

It turned out that this middle-aged man, Liu Xing, had always been the small boss of a clothing workshop in Ningbo. A few years ago, due to poor management, he lost nearly 120 million yuan, the house was auctioned, and his wife ran away with the child.

When he was desperate, Boss Liu, who was originally an NBA fan, also seized the business opportunity and privately printed a pirated Timberwolves No. 22 Lin Fei jersey. In less than a month, he turned a profit and not only paid off his debts, but also Batches of new orders are coming in an endless stream.

"Lin Fei is my savior, woo woo, if you win tonight's Tianchao men's basketball team, I will reward each of you with a red envelope of 3000 yuan!"

Five or six escort girls dressed in sexy clothes were immediately elated. Even though they didn't pay attention to basketball, they still shouted excitedly with the boss:

"The Celestial Dynasty must win, the Celestial Dynasty must win!"

"Lin Fei, Lin Fei, you are the best, you come to shoot, I will make waves!"

Look back to Yadian Olympic Basketball Stadium.

Ginobili scored 5 points in a row and caught the Tianchao men's basketball team by surprise. Del Harris quickly called a long timeout.

Celestial Dynasty (0): (5) Agen stops.

Judging from the opening situation, it was difficult for Lin Fei to defend Ginobili well.

The 27-year-old is the golden age of a player, and Ginobili has also reached the peak of his personal competitive state.

Lin Fei actually watched a lot of Ginobili's game videos before the game. This guy can switch freely between with the ball and without the ball. In terms of his ability to move without the ball and use screens, he is not inferior. Own.

In Lin Fei's view, in this Olympic Games, Ginobili is probably the biggest test for him as the team's first defense line.

Even compared with Iverson Marbury in the six camps of the American Dream, Ginobili is the most difficult to defend.

After all, Iverson and Marbury play more with the ball, and their off-ball ability is not outstanding, but Ginobili is completely different.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth tightly, no matter how difficult it was, he had to make it. If he didn't make it, it would be even worse if he counted on Liu Wei and Li Nan, or even veterans Guo Shiqiang and Zhang Jinsong on the bench!

After winning two Olympic group games in a row, Lin Fei also received a total of 220 free attribute rewards from the system. It can be seen that the Olympic men's basketball competition is not as rewarding as the NBA finals.

Adding the 220 points of free attribute to the defensive attribute again, the 68-point defensive attribute only increased by 1 point, reaching 69 points, and the single item of steals reached 80 points.

If none of this can prevent Ginobili, it can only show that this year's Olympics is destined to belong to Ginobili's battle of the gods.

In a FIBA ​​game, each team can only call a maximum of 5 timeouts. Del Harris wasted a timeout opportunity in the opening minute.
It can be seen that the Tianchao men's basketball team lost to Agen in the opening skills and tactics tonight.

"We must control our mistakes, and we can't give Agen the chance to fight back easily!"

"Lin, playing against Manu Ginobili will definitely put more pressure on you. Take care of yourself, control fouls, and don't affect your offensive state because of defense!"

Lin Fei nodded with a serious expression, and at the same time actively encouraged his teammates.

After a timeout, the Chinese team attacked.

Lin Fei continued to use cover to run in the frontcourt, but Ginobili was always chasing after him, inseparable.

Whether it's the top screen with the center or the cross screen with the guard, it is difficult to get away from Ginobili enough.

This is the frightening thing about Ginobili. In him, Lin Fei seemed to see the shadow of Hamilton chasing and defending himself in the finals.

"Lin, I'm not going to let you hit more [-]-pointers than me tonight, this is the Olympics, you don't have Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell around you!"

Ginobili in this period still had long flowing hair and looked quite handsome.

Facing Ginobili's friendly provocation, Lin Fei also politely smiled and responded with a few words, neither humble nor overbearing:
"Manu, it's my honor to let you defend me so hard!"

"But Argentina is also not the Spurs, and you don't have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker by your side now!"

Lin Fei couldn't find a chance to catch the ball, so Dayao could only attack under the basket and missed Oberto's hook.

"Bang!"

Although Oberto's height is only 2.08 meters, he has strong upper body strength and steady defensive steps. When defending Dayao, it will make his lower body uncomfortable, similar to Boozer in the Jazz period later.

Standing on the sidelines, Argentina's head coach Martino has curly hair similar to Maradona's. He thinks Oberto's low-post defense against Yao tonight is obviously a success.

"Snapped!"

Dayao didn't have the hook, the rebound was caught by Oberto, and Agen stopped to switch offense.

Lin Fei was always chasing Ginobili in the retreat, but Delfino, who is also a swingman, took the ball and singled Zhu Fangyu, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop in the middle of a breakthrough.

"Shh!"

7: 0.

The inexperienced Zhu Fangyu was completely thrown away by Delfino, and the Tianchao men's basketball team had no advantage at all against the starting small forward.

At the critical moment, he had to rely on the inside twin towers, roughly receiving the ball with his back in the axis area, resisting Scola's continuous back-up steps, and his turn-around jumper by virtue of his height and wingspan was very decisive.

"Bang!"

But the ball was still a bit off-point, the striker popped out, and Dayao under the basket roared, grabbed the rebound on Oberto's head, and took off for the second time to complete the Dianabol dunk.

"Boom!"

Celestial Dynasty (2): (7) Agen stops.

More than two minutes into the game, the scoring drought was finally broken.

Dayao, who completed the dunk, also yelled at his teammates while returning to defense: "Get me up!"

Agen stopped attacking.

Ginobili beckoned to Prigioni for the ball from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and faced Lin Fei head-on, obviously wanting to play singles with the ball.

Lin Fei took a step away from Ginobili, bent down and spread his legs, stretched out his right arm to test, and concentrated his defensive energy.

Hassell's little tricks when defending the ball holder were rapidly circulating in Lin Fei's mind.

"Whoosh!"

After a fake move of shaking his shoulders, Ginobili suddenly lowered his center of gravity and broke through towards Lin Fei's left hand side.

Although the start of this first step was not very fast, the stride was large and the center of gravity was very low. At the moment when Lin Fei quickly slid to block it, Ginobili immediately dribbled the ball under the crotch and changed direction. Walking to the right, he passed half of Lin Fei in an instant.

It is said that "Demon Saber" has the most incredible center of gravity. This is no exaggeration. At least in Lin Fei's opinion at this moment, Ginobili's nearly 180-degree change of direction is really terrifying.

When Lin Fei came back sideways and quickly interfered, Ginobili had already dribbled the ball with his left hand and accelerated into the penalty area.

FIBA did not defend for three seconds. Seeing that Yao was sitting in the middle of the basket, Ginobili did not panic. Taking advantage of Yao's step, he hit the ball to Oberto behind him.

"boom!"

The rotation of the ball hit the ground was very large, and Oberto didn't catch the ball firmly at the first time. When he got it firmly, he jumped up and wanted to dunk.

"Snapped!"

Dayao's turnaround hat boosted morale, but the basketball rebounded from the tempered backboard was caught by the elusive Manu Ginobili in the first place.

Lin Fei also quickly stepped up to defend, not giving Ginobili an easy chance to make up shots.

"Whoosh!"

Ginobili didn't stick to the ball, and quickly returned to Scola in the high position on the right, and then almost continuously used the cover of Da Da and Scola to throw away Lin Fei and go straight to the right for a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle outside the line.

The snake-like movement of "Demon Saber" is really elusive, and the gaze and angle of looking for cover are also quite sharp, which even makes Da Da an accomplice.

Lin Fei was chasing very closely, but still almost collided with Roughly. When he rushed forward again, Ginobili on the 45-degree three-point line on the right had already received the pass from Scola and jumped decisively.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew over Lin Fei's head, and another one went into the net hollowly.

Ginobili, who was retreating, was in a good mood, with his long hair fluttering in the wind, he smiled and raised two fingers to Lin Fei:

"Lin, I've already made two three-pointers. If you don't catch up quickly, you won't have another chance!"

Lin Fei clenched his fist tightly, and his gaze became sharp:
"The game has just started, Manu, don't be too happy, so what if I let you two first?"

Although his mouth was blunt, Lin Fei had to admit that Ginobili's skills were too comprehensive.

Can freely switch between with and without the ball, sharp breakthrough, quick movement, ghostly passing, accurate three-pointers,
Ginobili, the peak of this period, is indeed a more powerful shooting guard than Hamilton of the Pistons, and the 20-minute Jordan is well-deserved!
If it is changed to the Timberwolves, the task of defending Ginobili is naturally to let the "madman" or Hassell come on.

When it comes to the Miami Heat in the new season, when they meet the Spurs, the man who defends Manu Ginobili should naturally be Wade or Eddie Jones,
But now the Chinese men's basketball team is facing Agen in the Olympic group match, Lin Fei's 69-point defensive attribute is not enough, but he must bite the bullet.

"Ginobili started the game tonight really aggressively. He scored 3 points in a row on all 8 shots. It seems that in the last game he bent his body at the buzzer to kill Serbia and Montenegro, which gave him stronger self-confidence!"

Director Zhang's commentary was inevitably a little worried. Tonight's Ginobili was undoubtedly the first victim Lin Fei encountered in this Olympic Games.

The Chinese team attacked.

Lin Fei and Dayao performed a pick-and-roll screen with the ball at the top of the arc, accelerated and moved quickly and sharply, but still failed to get rid of Ginobili and successfully caught the ball.

Ginobili obviously has more experience in defending off-ball players like Lin Fei. He has learned enough lessons in the NBA whether he is playing against Ray Allen or Reggie Miller.

Ginobili not only has a high golf quotient, but also his 11-meter speed has run in less than 11 seconds. Although Lin Fei's current 05-meter speed has also improved to [-] seconds, he was defeated by the "Demon Sword" Come on.

Fast speed, flexible body, smart playing, and an excellent wingspan of 2.06 meters, which give Ginobili a great advantage when defending Lin Fei.

It cannot be said that Ginobili was faster and better than Hamilton when chasing and defending Lin Fei.
However, neither Yao nor Daqi, or point guards Liu Wei and Hu Xuefeng on the Tianchao men's basketball team were able to reach the level of the Timberwolves' main force to cover and pass the ball to Lin Fei.

Ginobili's chasing defense is the top in history, much better than Spain's Navarro, and Argentine's coaching staff also pays much more attention to Lin Fei's defense than Spain's.

The ups and downs caused Lin Fei to face the embarrassing situation that it was difficult for Ginobili to catch the ball tonight.

Fortunately, Dayao didn't hesitate. Facing Oberto from the high position, he directly raised his hand and scored a long two points, which was a steady hit.

"Shh!"

Celestial Dynasty (4): (10) Agen stops.

Back to the defensive end.

This time Lin Fei met Ginobili who was holding the ball again at the top of the arc. He intentionally let go of the distance of two steps, mainly pinching Ginobili's breakthrough.

After all, the defensive value is there. Facing the league's first-class shooting guard like Ginobili, it is impossible to cover everything, and only the main defense is the same, otherwise it will be a lose-lose situation.

Ginobili saw that Lin Fei would not let go of the shot, maybe because of his touch, he directly made a three-pointer at the top of the arc after a breakthrough feint.

Lin Fei correctly judged Ginobili's intentions, and quickly rushed forward to seal his eyes.

"Bang!"

No matter how accurate Ginobili is, it is impossible to compare with his own three-point shooting rate. After hitting two consecutive shots, the third one will pop out of the frame.

"Snapped!"

The long rebound was caught by the general side, and seeing that Liu Wei's side was not easy to catch the ball, he turned over and threw away Scola to dribble quickly.

"Whoosh!"

In the fast break, it seems that there are eyes in the back of the head. An early change of hands avoids Scola's ball behind him, and he steps across the center line to kill the frontcourt. The former chasing boy seems to be back.

Although the big center's dribbling and fast break is not aesthetically pleasing, the speed is generally really fast. The 2.14-meter-high 12-meter sprint can run in 4 seconds, which must be terrifying.

Seeing that he was almost at the front and Scola was thrown away, Ginobili had no time to think about it, so he could only let Lin Fei go and try to draw the ball and make an offensive foul.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Ginobili run away, Lin Fei instantly seemed like a runaway wild horse, accelerating straight to a 30-degree angle on the left side of the frontcourt. It was too late for Prigioni, who had let go of Liu Wei, to make up for it.

With a flash of his eyes, he quickly passed the ball diagonally in the direction of Lin Fei's running position.

The pass was a bit too big, Lin Fei took a big step forward along the left three-point line of the frontcourt to receive the ball, before he could get rid of his inertia, he jumped up with his body tilted, and chased the three-pointer with an elegant shot.

The moment the basketball flew from Lin Fei's fingertips, the substitute players on the bench beside the court,

Li Nan, Hu Xuefeng, Ah Lian, Du Feng, Daba, Guo Shiqiang and others all jumped up immediately holding towels, ready to wave them in celebration.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of brushing the net suddenly sounded, and Lin Fei waved his arm fiercely after the elegant landing, and shouted at Ginobili who retreated to the penalty area but failed in vain:
"Manu, I'm going to catch up! Just ask if you panic!"
