Chapter 160: With me here, you are only worthy of competing for the silver medal ( words updated per day, begging for monthly subscription)

In just half a quarter, Qin Yue broke the myth that American basketball had left in the international arena in the past.

In order to prevent Qin Yue from scoring on the court, the American team used a cruel double-teaming tactic against him in the high position.

Since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when have you ever seen the arrogant Dream Team give the opposing star players such respect on the perimeter?

If we have to double-team the inside, it is because we have no choice.

The fact that the opponent double-teamed Qin Yue as soon as he dribbled the ball across half court fully proved that no one on the American team could match up with Qin Yue.

There is no doubt that a team that cannot even match up with the opponent's stars can never be called a dream team.

On the court, it's time to test other players of the Chinese team.

The tall Qin Yue showed that he is far superior to the traditional point guard when organizing with the ball.

It is his height that gives him a broad field of vision, allowing him to always face the double-team of the American team very calmly and pass the ball to his teammates.

Zhu Fangyu became the first person to eat crabs tonight.

On the court, Zhu Fangyu, who had trained hard enough in the summer, was ready to catch the ball and shoot the moment he noticed that Qin Yue was double-teamed.

Unconditionally trust Qin Yue to pass the ball to them - this was the consensus reached by many men's basketball players at the 2006 World Championships.

At the 45-degree angle on the left side, Zhu Fangyu got the ball and quickly shot it, also giving feedback to Qin Yue with his actions.

Swish!
At CCTV, Zhang Weiping said with emotion: "This is the sense of security that Qin Yue brings to people when he is in charge of passing and controlling the ball!"

On the side, Sun Zhengping echoed: "Qin Yue's passing and controlling ability is indeed unparalleled. Throughout his career, his assist-to-turnover ratio reached an astonishing 3.6 to 1."

So far, Qin Yue has made a total of 2133 assists in his career, but his total number of turnovers is only 771.

Even looking at the history of the NBA, his passing and control abilities are among the best.

In return, James made the first three-pointer for the US team.

There is nothing wrong with James' three-point shot selection.

Just now, in order to prevent him from breaking through, Yi Jianlian deliberately took a step back during the rotation defense.

But can young James continue to punish China's perimeter defense like he just did?

In the Chinese team's offensive round, Qin Yue noticed that this time it was Kobe who helped James to complete the double-team, and he threw the ball to Sun Yue in almost an instant.

At this moment, Qin Yue was like a command tower with a full-map vision. In the extremely small half court compared to this group of giants, he made Sun Wukong feel that the shooting environment was like a training session.

Swish!
Sun Yue did not miss the opportunity.

The Chinese team's outside shooters made three-pointers one after another with the same accuracy as Qin Yue remembered.

This
This also put US team coach Mike Krzyzewski in a dilemma.

In the first quarter, the US team thought about using full-court pressure to force the Chinese team to make mistakes and thereby get fast break opportunities.

But the U.S. full-court press was unable to stop the Chinese from lob-passing the ball to the tall and strong Qin Yue.
At the same time, since Qin Yue could always dribble the ball across half court with his breathtaking skills, the American team's full-court press could not exert their usual power.

Why do NBA teams only use the full-court press on certain possessions?
Because in terms of the dribbling ability of NBA guards, if you use full-court press on the court for a long time, it is almost the same as giving points to the opponent.

In the eyes of Coach Lao K, Qin Yue's passing and controlling ability is tailor-made for this Chinese team.

They have a group of qualified FIBA shooters.

There is also a super center who you have to double-team to limit.

Coupled with Qin Yue's passing and controlling ability that can rival that of a super defender.
After the first quarter, the score was 21 to 30.

On the scoreboard, the American team was only one Wade behind.

But judging from the course of the game, they were almost suppressed by Qin Yue on their own.

Moreover, because the first quarter went so smoothly, Yao Ming, who only had to focus on defense, did not even get a few decent chances to shoot.

During the intermission, Yao Ming, who did not feel tired at all, declined Jonas's request for substitution and said with a smile: "Have you watched Saint Seiya? Tonight I am one of the five little strong men around Athena. Playing the full 40 minutes is no problem."

To be honest, no matter in his past or present life, Yao Ming really loves to play the Saint Seiya meme.

If Qin Yue remembered correctly
After this year's Olympics, when asked how he viewed the group of "Yao haters",
Yao Ming said, "How should I answer this question? Look at Saint Seiya. Gemini has a good side and a bad side. My analogy may not be appropriate. They all watch my games, but they may watch the games with different mindsets. Some people like to watch my games, while some don't like to watch my games but still watch them. In general, they all watch my games, and as long as they watch my games, I say thank you."①
just
After reacting, Qin Yue suddenly grabbed Yao Ming and said, "Old Yao, you just said you were one of the five little strong men around Athena, then who is Athena?"

Hearing this, Yao Ming smiled at Qin Yue and the answer was self-evident.

Oh shit!

Why are you Seiya, Shiryu, and Hyoga, while I can only be the fucked-up Kido Saori?
Qin Yue didn't like Yao Ming's metaphor very much.

So he turned his anger on Bosh, who replaced Howard in the second quarter.

In the first offensive round of the US team, Bosh, who chose to run down the court after the pick-and-roll, did not notice that Qin Yue had been following him.

then
Above the sky, Bosh's bank shot was caught by Qin Yue who rushed over!

This is a horrific mid-air block!

CCTV, Sun Zhengping described it very aptly: "'Dragon King' Bosh wanted to make a big move in the Chinese team's penalty area, but he obviously didn't ask Qin Yue, the Nezha who made trouble in the sea, whether he agreed or not!"

At Wukesong Basketball Arena, when Qin Yue grabbed Bosh's shot and strode towards the American team's half, in the eyes of the fans at the scene, every step he took was so proud and proud!
Qin Yue found Wang Lei who was following up during the fast break and assisted the latter to make a two-handed dunk.

ESPN, Breen shook his head and said: "He made this game too simple. The stars of the US team looked like a group of high school students who couldn't play basketball in front of him.

Our talents are nothing compared to this new GOAT!"

Although China's two FMVPs remained on the court in the second quarter, after both teams entered the rotation lineup, this should have been the critical stage for the US team to exert its strength and catch up with the score in one fell swoop.

However.
The American team was unable to take advantage of the Chinese team's mistakes to launch fast breaks, and was destined to suffer losses in positional warfare, which they were not good at.

Interestingly, at the moment when the US team needed a three-pointer the most, the inexperienced Michael Redd did not get even a second of playing time.

Who says you don’t need to gain experience to play basketball in the United States?
In fact, no matter which American team in history, it requires a certain level of qualifications to get stable playing time.

Qin Yue knew very well that even if Devin Booker of the future wanted to get stable playing time in the Olympics, he would have to serve as the 3D for "James Duku".

But here comes the problem
No matter how well Booker performs in the game, doesn't the US men's basketball team have a 3D player who is more suitable for "James Duku"?

The answer is obviously no.

However, the American team, which has been bringing in stars for the sake of bringing in stars, has long been unable to select a perfect team in the strict sense.

In addition, in actual games, these NBA stars who share the ball just for the sake of sharing the ball often have to play roles that are not suitable for them.

So in Qin Yue's opinion, how could the American team be as terrible as the world imagines?
This is just a paper tiger that seems to have many stars but is unable to exert its full strength.

In history, only the 10 American team, which was wildly underestimated by the American media but ended up slapping the American media in the face in the game, successfully solved this problem.

Because many young stars of the US team had not yet become famous in the 10 World Championships, they could only rely on Durant as the absolute core at that time, which in turn showed their true level.

And it made the entire basketball world feel an inexplicable fear.

After all, that Dream Team, which was strictly speaking only the second or third team in the United States, slaughtered their opponents almost every night.

It was from that World Championships that it started.
Mike Krzyzewski just realized what type of NBA star can dominate FIBA and make American basketball recognize that Kevin Durant is the big brother of the American team in the international arena.

But now.
Even if Coach K wants to invite Durant, who is not even considered "Durant", to come out, he doesn't have the opportunity.

Because Durant is not on the roster of this "redemption team" that only wants to field its strongest players.

Qin Yue has personally rung the bell for the basketball world to enter a new era. On the court, the Chinese team's offensive round.

Seeing that the American team dared to use Prince to defend him alone, Qin Yue chased the opponent into the restricted area without saying a word, and when he noticed that Yao Ming was ready to receive the ball, he chose to ignore Yao Ming and forced the ball into the basket.

Beep!
The ball went in and the whistle blew, it was another AND-ONE!

The referee Jungbrand did not disappoint the good relationship Qin Yue had established with him before the game.

But Yao Ming, who had not conceded even one goal in the game, said to Qin Yue as he was about to step onto the free throw line: "You said you hated Kobe. I feel like you are Kobe tonight."

Hearing this, Qin Yue, who felt that he had indeed been a little bit like Kobe just now, said: "I am in good shape in this game, you save some energy, we still have to play against Spain next."

If it were in the past, Yao Ming would definitely feel that he had heard it wrong.

Because at this moment
Qin Yue's implication was clearly that he didn't take the American team seriously at all.

At the free throw line, Qin Yue made the free throw.

Coach K gradually replaced the main players of the Dream Team in the second half of the second quarter.

However, this funeral successfully attracted the attention of the entire American team, including the fans of the American team, at the end of the first half.
Panic in the entire American basketball world!

The scoreboard showed 41 to 58.

The Chinese team will enter the second half with a 17-point lead.

During the halftime break, Qin Yue was interviewed by CCTV and ESPN.

In front of the CCTV camera, Qin Yue was as well behaved as possible.

However, under the camera of ESPN, Qin Yue immediately changed his expression, "I don't deny that these American players want to complete their redemption with a gold medal.

But in my opinion, now that I am on the Olympic stage, this competition, including the US team and other opponents, deserves only to compete for the silver medal."

With me here, you guys are only worthy of competing for the silver medal!

At this moment, Mike Breen commented on Qin Yue's interview: "This is definitely the most arrogant gold medal declaration I have ever seen in history!"

After the halftime break, the game continued.

As soon as the third quarter began, Qin Yue set off James from the outside and hit a 45-degree shot that broke the heart of American basketball!

Brin said helplessly: "The God of Death from the East once again swung his scythe in his hand."

Then, turning back, facing Anthony who dared to pull up for the ball without even a fake move, Qin Yue directly blocked Anthony's signature jump shot with a volleyball block that blocked the sky!
"Melo, who gave you the courage to shoot like that in front of me?"

If it were in the NBA, with the tactical support of the Nuggets, Anthony would definitely get the chance to regain his face in front of Qin Yue.

But in this egalitarian American team
Anthony and other American team stars who were humiliated by Qin Yue on the court have created a stereotype that Qin Yue is high above everyone else and that all the stars of the American team are suppressed by him alone.

This stereotype is terrible.

Because it will continue to fuel the arrogance of the group of "Qin fans" in the United States, and will drag down those fans who are extremely disappointed with the performance of the American team, and then transform it into a fanatical worship of Qin Yue in the American basketball world.

Admiration for the strong has always been part of human nature.

Maybe not everyone admires the strong.

But in the United States, which has its own national conditions.
The stronger Qin Yue is, the more fans he will have in the United States.

Starting from the second half of the third quarter, the US team once again launched their full-court press.

However, the purpose of the US team's full-court press is no longer to create fast break opportunities by causing mistakes by the Chinese team, but to consume the physical energy of the new GOAT.

Qin Yue was slapped in the face by himself.

Because he kept saying in the first half that he hoped Yao Ming would conserve his strength, but in the second half of the third quarter, he made many wonderful passes to Brother Yao.

As long as Yao Ming could fall into the low post, Qin Yue could always use his height and arm span to smash the basketball into Yao Ming's chest like a cannonball in the first place.

Seeing this, Zhang Weiping said with tears in his eyes: "We used to say that the passes from the Chinese team's guards and forwards to Yao Ming were not up to standard. Why not? Because those passes were either too low or too high, making it difficult for Yao Ming to receive them. But look at the few times Qin Yue passed the ball, each time it was passed to Yao Ming's chest, which allowed Yao Ming to launch an attack immediately after receiving the ball."

Qin Yue admitted that the United States' high-intensity full-court press did have something to it.

But it's a pity
This Chinese team is not the only one with him as the FMVP.

Moreover, Yao Ming is also stronger in FIBA than in NBA.

In the second half of the third quarter, Howard received his third and fourth fouls of the game.

then
This American team, which once had four major centers taking turns to play, once again sent out "Dragon King" Bosh in desperation.

then
Back-to-back dunk, sideways hook, slow turn and fadeaway shot.
Throughout the second half of the third quarter, Yao Ming, who showed off all his skills, said happily, "The happiest thing in life is being able to back up Howard and play against Bosh."

After three quarters, the score was 65-81.

The American team did not give up just because they were unable to narrow the score gap.

As the captain of this "redemption team", Kidd encouraged morale before the start of the fourth quarter: "Now is the time for us to fight for this country and for the fans who support us!"

Qin Yue took the initiative to slow down the Chinese team's offensive rhythm in the fourth quarter.

If he feels that the opportunity is not good in a certain offensive round, Qin Yue will use his ability to combine man and ball to directly shoot from the outside.

Coach Old K had thought about using the double-team tactic again to stop Qin Yue from shooting.

But on this night, China's outside shooters were always on target.

Therefore, compared to letting the Chinese team's outside players shoot open shots, Coach K believes that it is better to bet that Qin Yue's strong shot will miss.

However.
At the Wukesong Basketball Arena, the increasingly louder cheers and the spontaneous singing of the fans were like slaps in the face of the American team.

The funeral of American basketball is almost over.

If the defeat in Indianapolis in 02 was just an accident.

The defeat in Athens in 04 was more like the Waterloo suffered by American basketball after hiring a coach who had no knowledge of FIBA.

The disastrous defeat in Tokyo in 06 was only because the U.S. men's basketball team was still inexperienced.
After American basketball sent their strongest players to compete in the Beijing Olympics, the cold score of the opening game officially announced the end of American basketball.

全场比赛，29投16中，其中三分球17投9中，罚球14罚14中的秦岳，总计斩获55分14篮板10助攻4封盖2抢断。

Mike Breen called the 16 goals scored by Qin Yue for the Chinese team in the game the "16 o'clock" to announce the end of the old era.

Especially the last attack completed by Qin Yue before the end of the game.

Qin Yue, who was double-teamed by Kobe and James on the wing, did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he performed a difficult fadeaway jump shot from tens of thousands of miles away like an acrobat!
Moreover, at the moment when this exciting and difficult three-pointer was scored, Qin Yue also performed his signature celebration:

—Good night, America.

This was Qin Yue’s final blow to American basketball at this grand funeral.

The final score was 88 to 102.

This night, don't ask for whom the bell tolls!

The death knell will toll for all of American basketball!

The new GOAT of the basketball world, just like sweeping away garbage, swept this dream team that claimed to have sent out the strongest players into the dustbin of history!
