Chapter 159: A groundbreaking solo dance! (5000-word chapter, begging for monthly ticket subscription!)
Former NBA star and now famous commentator Charles Barkley once again warned the arrogant Dream Team before the match between the host Chinese team and the United States:
"I don't know where our optimism and confidence come from, this American team, which is said to be the strongest in the past decade, has only two championship players (Kobe and Prince).

I admit that they are young and talented, but don't forget that their opponent in the opening game is the Chinese team, which has the best player in the world and the strongest center in the league. "

As a member of the first Dream Team, Barkley's warning was already very implicit.

In fact, if Barkley was not worried about boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige, what he would like to say is that American basketball has reached the point where it is just a shoddy product.

You know, for a long time, the American team has always given people the impression of being a team with a tradition of super centers.

In the past, the centers who represented the US team were Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, and O'Neal.

But now?

Apart from Howard, the Dream Team doesn't have a single decent center.

Moreover, in the past three seasons, almost everyone in the golden generation and pan-golden generation that American basketball is proud of has been defeated by Qin Yue.

When the GOAT is on the opposite side - Barkley, whose basketball dream was destroyed by the old GOAT single-handedly, knows better than anyone that in a basketball game where the personal ability of stars can solve problems, it is far less difficult for the US team to complete redemption in BJ than the world imagines.

2008 8 Month 10 Day.

9:20 pm.

Wukesong Basketball Stadium.

For the entire basketball world, this battle between China and the United States, which is of great historical significance and global influence, has officially begun.

During the entrance ceremony, players from both the Chinese and American teams received a lot of cheers.

Thanks to the outstanding contributions of Qin Yue and Yao Ming, the current influence of NBA in China is unprecedented.

Just like Qin Yue's memory, this generation of NBA stars has quite a lot of fans in the country.

Especially Kobe.

Among the Chinese and American teams, the amount of worship he received was second only to Qin Yue and Yao Ming.

just
The overly polite behavior of the fans at the scene towards the visiting team has aroused the dissatisfaction of countless fans on a certain football forum.

"What are they doing? This is our home court. Why are they cheering for the American team's stars?"

"I'm so angry! Damn the country of etiquette, this is a war! Do they know what home advantage is?"

"Still cheering for Kobe! I admit that I am a Kobe fan, but the boss must hit the ball hard for me tonight!"

As someone who has experienced this, Qin Yue knows very well that not all the spectators who bought tickets for the Olympic basketball games are fans who watch basketball games regularly.

but
As the game progresses, Qin Yue believes that when the Chinese team shows its strength to win the championship, the audience who originally cheered for the American team will definitely show their true colors to the stars of the Dream Team.

The entrance ceremony is over.

During the pre-match warm-up session, Qin Yue did not rush to do shooting training. Instead, he took out the small note prepared by Gary Payton for him and strode towards the Finnish referee Carl Jungebrand who was in charge of enforcing the game.

This is a big shot who will later become the head of FIBA referees.

Although Qin Yue didn't know Jungbrand's resume, he noticed from the detailed information about Jungbrand provided by Payton that he had a very cute grandson.

And coincidentally, the other party's grandson is also his avid fan.

So, after walking to Jungbrand, Qin Yue said, “Karl, I heard from the staff that your grandson also participated in my sneaker promotion event before?”

Jungbrand didn't expect that the famous new GOAT would be so concerned about such a trivial matter.

"He was unlucky and failed to get your autograph." Looking at Qin Yue with a friendly face, Jungbrand replied politely.

Seeing this, Qin Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. I prepared a pair of my new signature shoes for him. I'll have the staff give them to you after the game."

Hearing this, Jungbrand wanted to decline Qin Yue's kindness.

But after Qin Yue specifically added, "This is just a gift for children," Jungbrand finally did not refuse.

For the next few minutes, Qin Yue and Jungbrand had a great conversation.

The new GOAT humbly asked Jungbrand a lot about the differences between FIBA and NBA penalty standards.

After Payton's careful research, Qin Yue knew very well that in FIBA games, the referee's subjective judgment could allow a team to gain an advantage of at least 20 points, and it was not groundless.

Although Qin Yue did not need such "subjective judgment" to have the confidence to defeat the American team, Qin Yue also did not want to be criticized when playing at home.

so.
Since some people, due to their damn face, are unwilling to let the Chinese team have the home advantage that should belong to the Chinese team.

Then Qin Yue naturally had to find a way on his own, by leaving a good impression on the referee, to ensure that under the FIBA rules, he would not encounter a foul crisis due to the referee's "subjective judgment".

On the court, after the warm-up, the big screen at the Wukesong Basketball Arena immediately gave the starting rosters for the Chinese and American teams.

Team USA: Howard, James, Anthony, Kobe, Kidd.

Chinese team: Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Qin Yue.

When the starting lineups of the two teams were announced, the American commentator Mike Brin, who was responsible for commentating the game, exclaimed: "Oh my God! If I'm not mistaken, they want to use the Messiah to play point guard?"

Brin got it right.

Since the secret of the Chinese team to breaking the American team's full-court press was that Qin Yue dribbled the ball himself, in order to avoid the American team using a full-court press at the beginning of the game to disrupt the Chinese team's offensive rhythm, Jonas pushed Qin Yue to the number one position without hesitation.

In addition, I learned from my good brother Anthony that the US team will start a dunk competition in this game. Whoever can complete a dunk in front of Sun Yue will receive a 2,000 US dollar sponsored by James. Qin Yue also said to the starting five of the US team before the game started:
"Would you like to make a bet with me? If any of you can defend one of my shots in the game, I will reward him with $10,000."

"."

A few seconds later, seeing that no one on the American team dared to take up the bet, Qin Yue said with regret: "Why would Mike choose such a group of spineless players like you to redeem American basketball?"

"."

Originally, facing the extremely arrogant Qin Yue, Kobe really wanted to take the bet.

But Kidd grabbed him and said, "Kobe, don't argue with him. Winning the game is the most important thing."

Anthony also advised from the side: "There is no point in arguing with him. The five of us combined can't beat him."

Anthony told the truth.

In today's NBA, Qin Yue considers himself second in trash talk, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Because I want to turn trash talking into an art.
First you have to be strong enough.

Just like in the 20s, no one dared to anger Jordan.

Since the price of arguing with Qin Yue is often painful, every time Qin Yue uses his trash talk on the court, how many people dare to argue with him?

James, who will be responsible for defending Qin Yue in this game, joked with Qin Yue: "I can get 10,000 US dollars every time I defend you?"

"Brown, you are another price."

"What's the price?"

"As long as you are willing to defend me for a whole game, I will give you $20,000 every time you defend me."

Qin Yue likes to play against James.

Because Qin Yue is not afraid of James' defensive style of putting pressure on offensive players through physical confrontation, so if James is willing to defend him for the entire game, Qin Yue doesn't mind raising his bid.

In the center of the field, Jungbrand threw the ball high.

Yao Ming won the ball for the Chinese team amid the cheers of the fans.

Qin Yue easily dribbled the ball across half court under the full defense of young James.

Then, Yao Ming quickly moved up to a high position to serve as a wall for Qin Yue.

Qin Yue, who usually plays for the Warriors and can only enjoy the screens of Brown and Murphy, immediately felt the difference between pick-and-roll and screen-and-roll.

At the top of the arc, seeing that Howard's delay was not timely enough, Qin Yue immediately received the ball and shot.

Why did Qin Yue become even more terrifying in FIBA games?
Because in the current era, the FIBA three-point line is only 6.25 meters away from the basket.

It wasn't until 2010 that FIBA extended the three-point line to 6.75 meters.

And what about the NBA?
As we all know, except for the period when the three-point line was shortened in history, the farthest distance between the three-point line and the basket in the NBA has always been 7.25 meters.

what does this mean?
This means that Qin Yue's hard work for the Warriors through violent jump shots in the NBA will become three-pointers in FIBA.

Swish-!
At Wukesong Basketball Arena, Qin Yue scored a signature pull-up three-pointer for the Chinese team. 0-3.

Coming back, Qin Yue took the initiative to confront Anthony.

Among the starting lineup of the US team, only Anthony can thrive under FIBA rules.

Therefore, for his good brother, Qin Yue must strike hard and use one-on-four combination to effectively curb his scoring.

On the court, in the first offensive round of the US team, Howard, who wanted to move up to the high position to cover Kidd, encountered an extremely embarrassing scene.

Since FIBA does not have a three-second defense, when Howard screened for Kidd, the US team was almost performing an invalid screen.

Yao Ming was not moved away from the inside by the US team's pick-and-roll.

Kidd's dribbling and shooting ability means that it is difficult for him to immediately collect the ball and shoot a jump shot after the pick-and-roll like Qin Yue did just now. Therefore, this gives Sun Yue time to calmly go around the pick-and-roll.

CCTV, seeing that the US team spent 17 or 18 seconds on this attack before Kobe completed the shot against the double team defense, Zhang Weiping said: "Yi Jianlian must pay attention to protecting the rebound, Kobe will definitely not be able to score this goal!"

Under the curse of his die-hard Kobe fans, Kobe really missed his shot.

However, under Yao Ming's positioning, Yi Jianlian fully exposed his weakness of insufficient physical confrontation ability.

In this ball, Howard, who took the initiative, was able to pick the melon from behind Yi Jianlian's head.

However, just when Howard was about to use the second attack to score as usual, Qin Yue, who came down from the sky, nailed Howard's second attack directly to the backboard!
Moreover, at the moment when Qin Yue completed the block, almost all the fans in the stadium heard his casual Chinese curse:
——Fuck you!
On the court, Sun Yue successfully protected the second landing point.

Originally, Sun Yue was about to look up to find Qin Yue, but when he looked up, Sun Yue found that Qin Yue had already run towards the American men's basketball team's half after landing.

Sun Yue knew very well that if he didn't dare to pass the ball, a beating from Qin Yue would be the least of his punishment. So, after taking a look at Qin Yue's position, Sun Yue immediately launched a long pass.

It was difficult for Qin Yue to describe in words the extremely poor quality of this long pass.

But James, who touched the basketball while retreating, accidentally put the basketball in a perfect position for Qin Yue to attack the basket immediately after getting the ball.

Qin Yue looked back at James with gratitude, then leaped up and slammed the ball into the basket with a one-arm slam dunk amid the cheers of the fans.

"Brown, I'm willing to give you nine points for this assist, and one point is for Sun Yue."

"."

James shouldn't be blamed for this all-out retreat.

But in the last round, luck was indeed on the side of the Chinese team.

The American team has the ball, and this time it is James who organizes the game at the top of the arc.

Young James' organization is very patient.

But the US team's positional warfare offense can only be described as a piece of shit.

It was difficult for Anthony to catch the ball under the entanglement of Qin Yue.

The American team, which was unable to break through the double-team defense, immediately crowded the Chinese team's half.

Kobe received the ball in the last five seconds and found Howard who was lurking in the penalty area through a fake shot.

Since Yao Ming immediately pounced on Kobe who left Sun Yue behind, Yi Jianlian should have been the one to assist in the defense of this ball.

However, Al-Suwaidi's weakness of being too afraid of confrontation during this period was exposed again.

Howard made an easy layup.

2:5.

Qin Yue was dissatisfied with Yi Jianlian's defense and said, "Can you stop being so timid like a woman? Next time this happens, just pin that bastard to the floor with the ball!"

Judging from Howard's free throw shooting percentage, it was incredible in Qin Yue's eyes that Yi Jianlian could make him finish so easily in front of him.

What is even more incredible is that
The future of the Chinese men's basketball team can only rely on Yi Jianlian's iron-blooded attack to barely support it.

In turn, it was China's offensive turn.

Qin Yue started a "1-5" pick-and-roll with Yao Ming at the top of the arc and successfully switched Howard in front of himself.

That night, at this solemn and dignified funeral, Qin Yue did not allow any of the American men's basketball players to have even the slightest smile on their faces.

So, since Howard smiled so brightly after scoring the first goal for the American team just now, Qin Yue naturally had to teach this bastard Howard a lesson in his own way.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the high position, Qin Yue’s dribbling rhythm is getting faster and faster.

At this moment, you can't see any trace of a super inside player in him.

Especially at the moment when Qin Yue lowered his center of gravity and suddenly jumped up, he was clearly a much larger version of Kyrie Irving!

Howard tried to keep up with Qin Yue by sliding quickly.

But after Qin Yue suddenly pulled the ball back quickly and completed a step back, Howard's ankle was out of control and forcibly dragged him to kneel in front of Qin Yue.

Qin Yue ended Dwight Howard's ankle.

And he made the other party pay for his rude behavior at the funeral with an extremely pious kneeling.

Swish-!
Wukesong Arena, Qin Yue made another three-pointer!

When retreating, Qin Yue pointed to the top of the arc and said to the American players: "Remember this position, I will score here next round!"

Team USA has the ball.

Kobe used his speed to eat up Sun Yue and finished with a difficult jump shot.

Next, it was China's turn to attack.

Knowing that Qin Yue always keeps his word, Anthony simply gave up defending Zhu Fangyu, and rushed towards Qin Yue together with James the moment Qin Yue was about to launch an attack.

On CCTV, Zhang Weiping wanted to say "Zhu Fangyu is empty", but after seeing Qin Yue dribble past Anthony's defense like a butterfly, Zhang Weiping immediately changed his words and said, "Qin Yue, play with him!"

On the court, Qin Yue bypassed Anthony and completed this unreasonable one-on-two pull-up shot despite James' defense!

then
Swish-!
Just as Qin Yue expected before the game.

On the court, with Qin Yue's domineering three-pointer, the entire stadium completely became the home court of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Now, are there any fans who will cheer for the American team?
The audience was cheering Qin Yue's name and cheering for the Chinese team.

And in front of the technical desk.
When the new GOAT showed his extremely troublesome dominance in the FIBA arena, the US team coach Mike Krzyzewski showed a look of fear while requesting a timeout.

In the NBA, Qin Yue has already proved that as long as his condition is fine, he can complete fifteen to twenty mid-range jump shots on the court with a hit rate of about 45%.

This is a very scary statistic.

Because after Coach K confirmed that Qin Yue was in his best condition, the American men's basketball team was going to face
It is an ultimate killer machine that can shoot three-pointers whenever it wants in the FIBA arena with its unstoppable man-ball combination ability.

There was even a moment when Coach K felt that Qin Yue was the true god of basketball in the FIBA arena.

The dominance Qin Yue displayed in the FIBA game tonight may only be comparable to Durant in the future Rio Olympics, who wielded a sickle and scored 18 points in a single quarter for the US team to defeat Serbia.

But the current US men's basketball team.
Where is Durant?
Therefore, this night is destined to be a solo dance for Qin Yue, the epoch-making unicorn.

After the timeout, the US team attacked.

Yi Jianlian, who remembered Qin Yue's teachings, pulled Howard down while assisting in defense.

Howard went to the free throw line and missed both free throws.

Next, it was China's turn to attack.

Facing James's extended defense that clearly didn't want him to shoot a three-pointer, Qin Yue leaned over, accelerated, and after rushing into the US team's restricted area, he changed hands in the air and shot a pull-up shot.

Beep——!
Moreover, the whistle sounded after the ball went in, and there was an extra penalty, it was an AND-ONE!

ESPN, Breen frowned and said: "I don't want to say that the test has appeared in front of this 'Redemption Team', but in the current situation, the Messiah almost destroyed the US team's defense by himself."
