Silently Writing

Chapter 658 We Are Always the Champions!

On the court, it was Spain's turn to attack.

Gasol moved to the free throw line to receive the ball.

Tonight, the Chinese men's basketball team did not arrange for Xiao Yao to match up with Big Gasol.

The reason was that Big Gasol's high mobility greatly restrained Xiao Yao on offense.

In Su Feng's previous life, after Little Gasol gradually grew up, you could often see these two brothers feeding each other in FIBA games.

And now, Gabayosa, who is cooperating with Big Gasol, is also not to be trifled with.

Su Feng knew that the Spanish men's basketball team would definitely make a fuss about Xiao Yao tonight.

Therefore, in defense, the Chinese men's basketball team tonight sacrificed a brand-new version of the "four-man zone defense".

That is, Su Feng, Yi Jianlian, Zhang Jingsong, and Zhu Fangyu relied on their formation and positioning to deal with the Spanish men's basketball team.

Xiao Yao was responsible for guarding the penalty area.

No matter what changes happened on the court, Xiao Yao would never pull out of the three-second zone when defending.

The advantage of this defense is that the Spanish men's basketball team cannot easily obtain offensive opportunities in the interior.

You must know that in this World Championship, the Spanish men's basketball team, whose average score in the interior is second only to the Chinese men's basketball team...

Relies on Calderon and Navarro's back-and-forth cuts on the court, as well as Gasol's central coordination, to continuously provide top-notch cutting opportunities for the two forwards.

Su Feng knew very well that no matter how high the scoring efficiency of three-pointers was in modern basketball, once your interior was penetrated by the opponent, your opponent would be able to continuously obtain easy scoring opportunities.

On the court, the Spanish men's basketball team's opening attack tonight was obviously disrupted in rhythm.

At the free throw line, seeing that his teammates were unable to cut into the inside according to the original route, Gasol had to take out the sniper rifle from his pocket.

However...

Before Big Gasol's gun could fire, Su Feng took the lead and cut off the basketball from Big Gasol's hand.

"Wow, Su Feng can really block this ball!" On CCTV, seeing this, Zhang, the commentator, once again contributed a divine quote in a moment of urgency.

Uh...

Fun fact.

Before Su Feng's rebirth, Big Gasol was blocked a total of 1121 times in NBA games.

This data ranks fifth in NBA history. (In this ranking, Duncan ranks first with a total of 1488 blocks in his career)

As a player who relies on skills to make a living, because he often walks by the river, when Gasol encounters a reckless man on the court who doesn't fall for his feints...

Don't even mention how depressed Gasol is on the court.

Gasol obviously complicated the Chinese men's basketball team's defense with this ball.

Before taking the shot, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, he even did a fake shake to the air first.

But...

Who would have thought that it was this completely unnecessary fake shake that provided Su Feng with ample time to help defend?

On the court, a world-famous painting called Su Feng Angrily Slapping Gasol...

Appeared in front of the world like this.

At this moment, there should be a sound:

Awesome, Feng-ge (big brother)!

On the court, after Su Feng controlled the second landing point before the Spanish men's basketball team players, the Chinese men's basketball team immediately launched a fast break.

On the other side, the Spanish men's basketball team retreated quickly.

But...

But it was useless.

Because under Su Feng's influence these years...

The Chinese men's basketball team has long developed a good habit of taking three-pointers if there is a three-pointer in a fast break.

On the outside, after receiving Su Feng's pass, Little Zhu pulled up and shot.

Swish!

5 to 0.

Back on the other end, it was still the Spanish men's basketball team's possession.

After being accidentally used as a background board by Su Feng in the previous attack, Gasol was obviously smarter this time.

Since the free throw line was the vacuum zone of the Chinese men's basketball team's "four-man zone defense" tonight, after getting the ball, Gasol decisively completed a tough pull-up jumper from the high post.

Swish!

5 to 2.

At the Saitama Super Arena, after scoring the first point for the Spanish men's basketball team tonight, Big Gasol did not forget to encourage his other teammates on the court by pounding his chest.

It's a pity...

Compared to someone's chest-pounding, Gasol's chest-pounding was still a bit lacking in flavor.

Alas!

But there's no way around it.

After all, with the wolf king's roar, who can retreat while fighting so uniquely?

On the court, it was the Chinese men's basketball team's turn to attack.

Knowing that it would be difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to completely restrict Spain on the defensive end tonight, Su Feng knew very well that if they wanted to win this final, the Chinese men's basketball team must ensure their scoring efficiency on the offensive end.

To put it bluntly.

This was a game that could only be won by going head-to-head.

Therefore, the Spanish men's basketball team was lucky tonight.

At the same time, they were also unlucky.

Because unlike all the previous games...

Tonight, as soon as this game began, Xiao Yao had already moved to the high post, ready to set a screen for Su Feng.

What is a "crazy pick-and-roll"?

On the court, at the moment when Yao Ming and Su Feng completed their pick-and-roll, the Spanish players responsible for guarding these two were already going crazy.

As everyone knows.

On the basketball court, the only two ways to break a pick-and-roll are either for your defensive player to get around the pick-and-roll in advance, or for you to directly stop the opponent through switching defenses.

But...

Yao Ming and Su Feng's pick-and-roll.

When the former sets a screen for his teammates, he is not only as solid as a wall.

Moreover, because his pick-and-roll has great destructive power both when cutting to the basket and popping to the outside, you must concentrate all your attention on him when Yao Ming sets a screen for his teammates.

However...

Now the problem comes.

Once you concentrate all your attention on Xiao Yao, how are you going to defend his Feng-ge (big brother)?

"In today's world basketball, I'm afraid there is no player who understands how to use the pick-and-roll better than Su." On the front broadcast seat in Saitama, Japan, the American commentator commented on Su Feng.

On the court, Calderon failed to get around Yao Ming.

And at the moment when Yao Ming chose to cut to the outside and take away Spain's attention...

On the other side, Gasol had already begun to pray in his heart...

But...

Gasol's prayer did not change the Spanish men's basketball team's fate.

Swish!

On the outside, after dribbling the ball and taking a step back, Su Feng shot in their second three-pointer of the game for the Chinese men's basketball team from the outside!

8 to 2!

"Feng-ge, did I set a good screen for this ball just now?" On the court, when retreating on defense, Xiao Yao took the initiative to ask for credit.

Hearing this, after patting him on the back, Su Feng also smiled and said, "Well, this ball has 50% of Da Ben's skill when he set screens for me back then."

Xiao Yao: "..."

No way, Feng-ge!

I'm not a simpleton like Da Ben and O'Neal. Do you think I can't tell that you're deliberately provoking me?

Forget it, forget it.

Anyway, as long as Feng-ge is happy...

Then, as Feng-ge's Ming-di (younger brother), in Xiao Yao's opinion, what if he pretended to be provoked by Su Feng?

So, on the court, after frowning, Xiao Yao lowered his head and said to Su Feng: "Feng-ge, next, I will definitely let you see what a real screen is!"

Seeing this...

Knowing that Xiao Yao was deliberately cooperating with him, Su Feng was also amused.

Because he knew that Yao Ming's EQ was very high, Su Feng used such a straightforward way to provoke him.

However, just when Su Feng thought he knew that Xiao Yao was deliberately cooperating with him...

How could Xiao Yao not know that Su Feng knew that he was actively cooperating with him?

In this game, Yao Ming, who had extremely high basketball IQ, knew very well that only if Su Feng completely opened up would the Chinese men's basketball team be able to gain the initiative in this game.

Therefore...

Feng-ge!

In this game, let you experience what it's like to be the big boss of the Chinese men's basketball team!

On the court, the Spanish men's basketball team attacked.

Under Yi Jianlian's interference, Gabayosa's mid-range shot missed.

In the penalty area, Xiao Yao posted up and boxed out, giving the rebound to Su Feng.

Because in modern basketball, having a guard grab rebounds allows your team to launch a transition offense at the fastest speed...

Therefore, in the Chinese men's basketball team's games, which previously preferred to play positional warfare with their opponents...

This was also a rare sight.

On the court, after Su Feng picked up the rebound, a red whirlwind swept to the Spanish men's basketball team's half of the court in an instant.

"In this World Championship, we often praise the Chinese men's basketball team for playing well on offense in the half court.

But tonight, this Chinese men's basketball team led by Su Feng and Yao Ming...

Plays more like the Raptors and Heat on the NBA court!" On CCTV, accompanied by Zhang Jingsong hitting a three-pointer in transition, Yu Jia also said with emotion.

11 to 2.

At the Saitama Super Arena, in less than 6 seconds, Zhang Jingsong showed the Chinese fans in front of the TV what a real man is!

Calm in the face of danger.

The more you fight, the braver you become.

The stronger you are when you encounter the strong.

In this life, as Su Feng's bodyguard, Su Feng has never only valued the fighting spirit in Zhang Jingsong.

On the sidelines, after being hit with an 11-2 opening run by the Chinese men's basketball team, the Spanish men's basketball team had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the timeout, relying on Gasol's two attacks in the high post and the Chinese men's basketball team's consecutive misses in two possessions, the Spanish men's basketball team slightly stabilized their somewhat collapsing situation after the opening tonight.

But...

Su Feng, who never misses more than twice in a row, hit another three-pointer for the Chinese men's basketball team from the top of the arc in the next possession.

In the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team, which played extremely unrestrainedly tonight, scored 34 points in the first quarter alone.

Since the duration of a single quarter in a FIBA game is only 10 minutes...

So in a FIBA game...

Generally speaking, unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, such a single-quarter score is basically impossible to occur.

Tonight, on the court, the Chinese men's basketball team players not only strictly executed the tactics Su Feng explained before the game.

And the most commendable thing is...

The other Chinese outside players besides Su Feng were also more accurate than the next.

As for the Spanish men's basketball team...

It's also amazing to talk about it.

Because in this life, Gasol did not miss the final of the Spanish men's basketball team due to injury...

So perhaps because they were dependent on Gasol, it instead caused the Spanish outside players who would have performed well in this final to collectively lose their way...

In the first quarter, the Spanish men's basketball team, whose overall three-point shooting percentage reached 42.5% in this World Championship, only made 2 of 11 shots from beyond the three-point line.

And in the absence of outside firepower support...

Before the end of the first quarter, Gasol was once again attacked by someone.

At that time, after dribbling all the way to the basket, Gasol had already drawn Yao Ming...

But...

To Gasol's despair...

Someone actually didn't even want his defensive position in order to block him, just like Camby!

No!

For someone like Su Feng...

Are you sure he's not really a dog?

(Dog: Who are you calling a dog!)

In the second quarter, Su Feng did not rest.

Xiao Yao also did not rest.

In this World Championship, even in the game against the United States, Yao Ming did not expend too much energy.

Therefore, tonight, Xiao Yao, who only wanted to join forces with Su Feng to raise the trophy again, also volunteered before the start of the second quarter.

This time, Su Feng did not reject Xiao Yao's good intentions.

Because for Su Feng, who had a lot of experience in finals...

He knew very well that at this moment, as long as the Chinese men's basketball team made a concerted effort, the Spanish men's basketball team would immediately collapse.

This had nothing to do with the strength of both sides.

It was just because the pressure on both sides participating in a final was too great.

As the saying goes, it is better to pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage than to indulge in fame and learn from King Xiang Yu.

You must know that in a basketball game, what the players on the court compete in is not just their skills.

Back then, the reason why the Lakers always seemed to be short of breath at critical moments...

Was because the Raptors were always able to continuously hit them on the court when they tried to chase points.

In the second quarter, at the Saitama Super Arena, under the successive hard digging of the "crazy" duo...

The defensive line of the Spanish men's basketball team tonight was a picture of the following:

Big hammer, eighty.

Small hammer, forty.

On the court, Big Su dug, then Little Yao dug.

As a result, when the first half of the game ended...

Compared to the score of 60 to 42...

All the Spanish men's basketball team players had this thought during the halftime break:

Is this Chinese men's basketball team really one that we can defeat?

During the halftime break, in the locker room, the Spanish coaching staff, noticing the low morale of the Spanish players, hurriedly gave the players a psychological massage.

But at this time, no matter what the coaches said to the players...

The players couldn't listen to it anymore.

Just like RNG in the S8 documentary before their fifth game against G2...

Morale...

Is nothing more than a breath.

As long as you can't hold on, then collapse.

In the third quarter, in fact, compared to the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team's offensive efficiency had already begun to decline.

However, the Spanish men's basketball team failed to seize this stage where the Chinese men's basketball team was continuously missing shots to bring the score back as much as possible...

And when the fourth quarter arrived, after someone had recovered...

The suspense of this game was lost from this point on.

In the end, 96 to 80.

In this Men's Basketball World Championship...

The Chinese men's basketball team had the last laugh!

"Let us congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team!

They have successfully defended their title as champions of the Men's Basketball World Championship!"

Su Feng, who scored a total of 40 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks (all of which were Gasol) for the Chinese men's basketball team in the entire game, was as he wished elected as the Most Valuable Player of this World Championship.

And in the final, Xiao Yao, who played as Su Feng's assistant, was selected into the Best Team of this Men's Basketball World Championship together with Su Feng and Yi Jianlian.

Saitama Super Arena, Japan.

Looking at the Chinese men's basketball team players who had already started celebration mode on the court...

At this moment...

The entire Huaxia (China) family had already turned into a sea of ​​joy.

We are the champions!

We are the champions again!

We are always the champions!

2002 World Championship.

2004 Olympic Games.

2006 World Championship!

We have reached the top of the world three times in a row!
