Chapter 5347: Strength Determines Everything
The launch of the "Wind God Pavilion" was during the Olympic Games. [First Release] Originally, this should have been a sensational event, but under the Olympic halo, it was naturally not remembered by reporters. Although there were reporters reporting on it, it can be said that it was a groundbreaking event in human history. But the Olympic halo is so brilliant that even if there were reporters reporting on it, not many people paid attention. Now people are paying attention to the gold medal list and the medal list.
And Lin Feng chose to launch it at this time to avoid making too much noise and causing some unnecessary trouble. After all, the launch of the "Wind God Pavilion" and the "Merit Law" is somewhat suspected of shaking the country's rule. Although this is a good deed and a contribution to a harmonious society, you have things to exchange, laws, and law enforcement teams, which is not much different from a country.
If you are investigated for this and are directly blocked, you will be in big trouble. Now, taking advantage of the popularity of the Olympics, after the Olympics, everyone has become accustomed to this "Wind God Pavilion" and this "Wind God List", and has seen the benefits and positive energy it brings to society, so it is naturally not easy to ban it. In that way, Lin Feng can really capture everyone's heart.
People's hearts, people's hearts.
The ancients said: Saints move people's hearts, and the world is peaceful. Today's China is not peaceful, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and social contradictions are becoming increasingly fierce, which will sooner or later brew a catastrophe. From the current system, it is difficult to change this widening gap between the rich and the poor. It can even be said that the people have a kind of understanding that under the current system, the poor will only get poorer and the rich will get richer. Under this system, the contradictions will become greater and greater. Because the people can't see hope!
If a nation, or a class, can't see hope, it is extremely terrible. This will produce resentment, and when this resentment spreads, it will bring unrest to the entire society. Therefore, Lin Feng gives everyone hope. A hope that can be easily achieved.
People. Need hope. The nation, also needs hope!
The game has begun!
The Olympic semi-finals between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team have begun. At the beginning, the Chinese team showed a high morale for the NBA contract. They must win! This is also the closest opportunity to the finals in their careers. The next time will be four years later. Four years later, Yao Ming will be 32 years old. At the age of 32, the yellow race has basically passed the peak of their careers and has gone downhill. Without Yao Ming, the level of the Chinese men's basketball team will inevitably decline. By then, it will be hopeless to impact the finals.
So, this time, they bet everything for the finals!
But ideals are beautiful. Reality is cruel. Sometimes, it's not enough for you to work hard. You may not succeed even if you work hard. Especially facing the powerful Spain, the Chinese team was completely suppressed throughout the first half. Spain was too strong, so strong that Chinese fans felt desperate.
The whole court was beaten! Yao Ming tried hard, but just like in the NBA, he couldn't defend Gasol. Facing Gasol, Yao Ming's footsteps were not as fast as the opponent, and his body was not as agile as Gasol. He was either forced to be eaten by Gasol, or he defended Gasol, but was called out of the penalty area, giving other Spanish players a chance.
On offense. Spain adopted a one-on-one defense strategy, which is a defense strategy that relies heavily on personal skills. Obviously, Spanish players believe that they can eat China one-on-one in every position. And the result is indeed so. Except for Yao Ming, who has a strong point and can occasionally eat Gasol, it is basically difficult to break through the opponent's defense in the other four points. Basically, he was eaten hard, and the one who occasionally gave a little surprise was Jeremy Lin, whose breakthroughs occasionally brought surprises. But obviously, he is not the core of this national team. The core is Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi! Although he is a point guard, basically most of the time, he starts to pass the ball after dribbling through the backcourt.
Just like that, the first half ended. The Chinese men's basketball team was 10 points behind 42:52. Although the score behind was not too much, it was obvious that the momentum was not on the Chinese men's basketball team. Especially from the physical point of view, Yao Ming was a little tired on the Chinese men's basketball team. He is the pillar, and if he collapses, it's over. However, Yao Ming's physical strength has always been a problem.
What to do? This is a problem that the Chinese men's basketball team must face in the midfield. How to solve it? It won't work if we continue playing like this. But there is no way. No one can do it. Facing Spain's one-on-one defense, they were very angry, but helpless. This kind of defense is a bit humiliating. To be honest, international basketball is played with a zone defense. And throughout the game, Spain rarely, rarely adopted a zone defense. Only after Yao Ming got the ball, would they adopt a zone defense. Otherwise, when other people got the ball, it was basically one-on-one. It depends on whether you have the ability to break through, or face tough defense and shoot directly.
Unfortunately, you can't get in. This is a problem of strength. In particular, even if you get in, Spain's inside Gasol is also an Optimus Prime. His defense is by no means as weak as the NBA sees it. He is just not iron-blooded enough, but it doesn't mean he is weak.
Frowning! Jeremy Lin wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
At this time, Lin Feng came in. Everyone stood up.
"I brought you NBA contracts, real contracts, contracts with six teams including the Mavericks, Lakers, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, and Washington Wizards. If you win, you will get a million-dollar annual salary for two years, and a minimum salary for one year if you lose." Lin Feng took out a stack of contracts in his hand. These were the contracts that Lin Feng got after contacting the NBA. Of course, this was also because the owners of the NBA teams gave Lin Feng face, and only then did they offer such contracts. This was purely to give Lin Feng face, and of course to give the Chinese market a little face.
Everyone's eyes lit up. But then they dimmed. They wanted to win, but they couldn't. In fact, it was not easy for China to beat Lithuania, and it would be really difficult to beat Spain. This is really a question of strength.
"Do you think confidence?" Lin Feng asked.
Everyone was silent. Yao Ming was unwilling, but in the entire first half, he couldn't defend Gasol, and he chose to go to the explosion, but the opponent double-teamed him, and when he passed the ball out, it was difficult for others to shoot in, which made him helpless.
"I have a solution, perhaps a way to survive a desperate situation, but I wonder if you are willing to adopt it?" Lin Feng said lightly.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng.
"So, in the second half, Yao Ming, don't defend Gasol. Let Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhizhi defend. You only need to make up for the defense. Your pace can't keep up with Gasol and you can't defend him. He can defeat you, just like you defeat Howard. As for offense, I suggest that Jeremy Lin play singles! Since they choose one-on-one defense and give up double-teaming, let Jeremy Lin play singles!" Lin Feng patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder.
Let Jeremy Lin play singles? All the players were stunned. This, Jeremy Lin is a newcomer. In the past, he is also a newcomer. Even in the Rockets, he is a substitute among substitutes. It's good to play for a few minutes in each game. Let him play singles?
Several national team members looked disdainful.
Head coach Jonas was also surprised. This, is Jeremy Lin feasible? Can he play singles?
"You are all surprised and don't believe him, but look at Jeremy Lin, is he surprised? He may be surprised that I specifically asked him to play one-on-one, but he is not afraid. Believe me, he is very strong! He is just buried." Lin Feng said confidently.
Jonas was still a little hesitant. And the other players did not say anything. China is a country that values seniority. Can Jeremy Lin do it? He is so young and immature. Can he defeat Spain alone?
Lin Feng saw contempt in the eyes of the men's basketball players.
"You all look down on him, and so do the other Spanish players. But this is his chance. I think he can play a phenomenal performance, a crazy performance. It depends on whether you are willing to give him a chance!" Lin Feng said lightly, "Okay, I'll just say so much. How to play is your choice. I won't get involved. But in the end, I want to tell you one thing, that is, Jeremy Lin will be the main point guard of the Rockets in three years!"
Three years later, Billups will be old, and then the point guard will belong to Jeremy Lin. Of course, Jeremy Lin has a fatal flaw, that is, his defense is not good. But this point can also be solved. Just defend the shot instead of the breakthrough, let the opponent go in, and replace it with other people to make up for the defense.
Lin Feng left, and the national men's basketball team fell into deep thought. This, should Jeremy Lin be the main player? This is a very thought-provoking question. This is gambling!
Jeremy Lin did not speak either. His life in the national team during this period made him understand many of the customs here. To be honest, if Yao Ming was not there, he would have left long ago. He could not stand this kind of atmosphere. Unlike, although he also bullied rookies, most of them were well-intentioned bullying. If you have the ability, other players will also give you the ball and let you play. Especially in the Rockets, this atmosphere is better.
On the contrary, on the men's basketball side, to be honest, many people can't stand seeing others do well. For example, he was excluded. If Yao Ming was not there, he would have been excluded as a marginal figure. Therefore, he was very grateful for Lin Feng's words, but he did not fight for himself. If you are willing to give me a chance, I will prove myself. If you are not willing to give it to me, I will not force it. Everything is up to you.
Soon, the second half began. But Yao Ming was still chosen to play hard, but unfortunately the effect was not good. The best defense against Yao Ming is to go around him. Yao Ming's footsteps are relatively slow, and it is difficult to play against him when he is bypassed. The Rockets have also been troubled by this, but the Rockets still have James, Wade, and Boozer, so it is difficult for the opponent to double-team Yao Ming. Because James, Wade, Boozer and others all need to be double-teamed, how can you have so many people to double-team Yao Ming?
But the Chinese men's basketball team does not have James and Wade!
What to do? (To be continued.)xh118
