481 Athenian God 6
Chen Feng looked at the photo of his little daughter in the room. Time flew quickly. It was not until someone came to knock on the door to remind him that he remembered that he would go over to participate in the basketball game in the afternoon.
After a little preparation, Chen Feng gathered with the basketball team and set off together to go to the competition basketball hall.
In the car, Chen Feng took two Olympic gold medals with them to take photos with them due to the request of Yao Ming and other teammates. Yao Ming had prepared a photo and immediately took a photo and asked him to sign it. As a result, he was naturally very popular. Even a few coaches, the team leader and other staff members in the team were not spared, and they asked him to take photos with him and sign.
Fortunately, the basketball team had only less than twenty people in total, so Chen Feng met their requirements very well.
When he arrived at the competition venue, Chen Feng completely planned to be an audience this time, so he even had a warm-up. However, he was sitting on the bench and had no intention of warming up with his teammates, but it disappointed the audience who had already been full of people. Many audiences were yelling to ask Chen Feng to play, but they had all kinds of languages, and everyone could barely hear the "long" shouts.
However, Chen Feng was still sitting quietly on the bench, which disappointed the audience. Five minutes before the game, Harris came here specifically to ask him to warm up to cause psychological pressure on his opponent.
Of course, Chen Feng understood what Harris meant. Although Harris had communicated with him privately when he was on the minibus before, in principle, he would not be sent to the court, but it is impossible to just call Chen Feng as an audience member. If he should use his influence and shock, he should still use it. Now let Chen Feng warm up. He can immediately put strong psychological pressure on his opponents. Let them see that Chen Feng, the ace, may come on the court to participate in the game at any time. In this way, it will naturally force the opponent to fail to exert 100% strength in the game.
Of course, Chen Feng did not object to Harris' order, so he immediately took off his coat and went on the court to warm up.
Because of Chen Feng's participation, the live broadcast of this game started fifteen minutes before the game, and the camera was always facing Chen Feng for most of the time. Chen Feng sat down and didn't move for ten minutes before, and the audience in front of the TV were also very disappointed. Now that he finally moved, everyone was excited and looking forward to it.
"My audience friends in front of the TV. This is Tianchao TV station. I am Yang Jian. I will explain the men's basketball team of this Athens Olympics. Today, the Chinese team will play against New Zealand... Now there are fifteen minutes before the official game. Everyone has seen it. Now Chen Feng has warmed up on the court. The audience on the scene is excited to cheer for him... Because Chen Feng's super popular player exists, the scene is almost the home court of our Chinese team... Chen Feng is not in the starting list of this game, but his warm-up now still puts a lot of psychological pressure on the New Zealand team. You can see that the New Zealand players on the opposite side are watching Chen Feng warm up. Obviously, they are very afraid of going on the court... Chen Feng still remembers his three-pointer in the game against Spain.
The ball ability makes the opponent desperate... No team would want to see Chen Feng play and face a powerful opponent like Chen Feng... According to reliable news, many NBA teams have revealed to the outside world that they hope to sign Chen Feng. Among them, the New York Knicks are even willing to offer Chen Feng a sky-high annual salary of 100 million US dollars... The highest annual salary before was Jordan, and he only had more than 33 million US dollars... It's just a pity that Chen Feng has stated before that he has no plans to play professional basketball in the NBA... Although we all understand this, it's also a pity that Chen Feng is undoubtedly a very excellent basketball player, but he is also a king of pop music. In the two swimming competitions that ended last night at Athens time, Chen Feng won two gold medals in a row, which shocked the world."
"There is another sensation at the scene, because Chen Feng just made three three-pointers in a row, which was very casual, but they all hit. His three-pointer made the Spanish team feel desperate in the last game. They even ruled out three players to defend, but failed to completely freeze Chen Feng... Now the warm-up players of the New Zealand team have almost all suspended the warm-up and are watching Chen Feng's performance. From their expressions, it can be seen that their morale has plummeted because of Chen Feng's three-pointer... New Zealand men's basketball team is not a traditional strong team. Judging from the world ranking, they are far behind Spain, and their strength has been comparable to our Chinese team. Of course, this refers to the Chinese team without Chen Feng's participation... In this game, because of Chen Feng's participation, no one will be optimistic about the New Zealand team. Chen Feng's strong performance in the last game has greatly reduced the morale of the New Zealand team this time. Well, the game will begin soon."
Chen Feng changed five positions outside the three-point line and made five three-pointers in a row. After he finished the brief warm-up exercise with cheers all over the court. It can be seen that his live show just now, especially the last few three-pointers, made the New Zealand team opposite him look pessimistic, causing them a lot of psychological shadows.
Chen Feng did this and exceeded Harris's coaching intentions. So, after he got off the game, Harris hugged him with a smile on his face and patted his shoulder with admiration.
Before the game started, Chen Feng's warm-up show made his opponent almost lose his morale. The Chinese team won't have to watch this game.
Sure enough, after the game started, almost all of New Zealand teams were sleepwalking in the first five minutes, and the score was scored 9:0. It was not until the New Zealand head coach on the sidelines got angry and called a timeout and started again. The New Zealand team finally regained a little morale. The opponent's top scorer Philip Jones rewrites the score of the game with a three-pointer.
The players of New Zealand team are generally not tall, so their tactics are to shoot outside, have a high shooting percentage, and are also very sharp three-pointers. But their advantage is really pale in comparison with Chen Feng's three-pointer.
After a three-pointer, the New Zealand team scored another two-pointer, which also caused the Chinese team to foul and made a free throw. On the court, the New Zealand team changed its sight and scored a 6:0 climax.
However, Yao Ming finally showed his power next time. Then two goals were scored. One of them was a more morale dunk, which once again widened the score between the two sides. After that, both sides went back and forth and scored goals with each other.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led New Zealand with a score of 20:14.
Because of Chen Feng's participation, this game is very different from the game Chen Feng remembers. However, the overall situation is more conducive to the Chinese team.
Therefore, after the game, Harris praised each player. Especially Yao Ming, who performed the best, Harris praised him, and the entire team members looked relaxed. Judging from the current situation, it should be a sure win to win this game.
However, as soon as he came on the second quarter, the situation changed suddenly. The New Zealand Philip Jones suddenly got angry and made two consecutive three-pointers, directly tying the score. He caught the Chinese team off guard.
Yao Ming, as the core main force, roared repeatedly. He then made a powerful move and drew a goal, overtaking the score again, but then another player from the opponent, Marcos, also had a three-pointer, and the score was ahead of the Chinese team again.
Seeing this, Harris quickly requested a timeout and made adjustments to the tactics. After the timeout, the Chinese team strengthened their defense against New Zealand's outside shooting, but Yao Ming was also stared at by the opponent's No. 10, who is 1.96 meters tall. Although Yao Ming had a breakthrough, his score was curbed to a certain extent, and the scores of both sides rose alternately. When the second quarter was about to end, Philip Jones suddenly had a cold arrow outside the three-point line, and another three-pointer hit, turning the score into 29:31. New Zealand led the way. Although the Chinese team wanted to tie the score for the remaining ten seconds, they still failed to do so.
After the first half, the Chinese team was finally two points behind, which made it difficult for the whole team to accept. Yao Ming was not very good in the second quarter and looked even more angry and calm.
Chen Feng was still stuck with this result for a while. He did not have the big butterfly in his memory in his previous life. In the second quarter, the Chinese team was also leading, and it was nine points ahead and entered the second half.
But the result is that the opponent leads the Chinese team by two points and enters the second half. It seems that the psychological pressure he has put on the New Zealand team before has stimulated their nerves. Although it has caused the opponent's morale to plummet for a while, the opponent, inspired by the head coach, was like a fight against the water, and instead exerted greater strength.
It seems that his previous warm-up live show was somewhat counterproductive, forcing the opponent to play a greater strength and know how to cooperate and unite more. It has to be said that the opponent's head coach is good, just like the opponent's top scorer Philip Jones. In this game in his previous life and time and space, he only made five three-pointers. Although his performance was excellent, he was obviously not as good as he is now. It can be said that under tremendous pressure, Mr. Jones showed his better competitive skills.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng was really amused and crying. The other party turned pressure into motivation, which was indeed something he did not expect, which surprised Chen Feng.
Chen Feng had no intention of playing in this game, but if the opponent continued to perform so well, he would still be sent to the court by Harris in the last quarter. You can't be sure that he would lose this game.
This is obviously the scene that the audience hopes to see. It can be seen from the reaction of the audience in the first half. That is, the cheers of the Chinese team when they scored goals were obviously less than that of the New Zealand team, and the cheers were even more loudly on the New Zealand team, which made the Chinese team players on the scene and the Chinese audience in front of the TV a little laughed and cried.
Of course, the audience's reaction was not that they disliked the Chinese team, or that they liked the New Zealand team, and there were even fewer New Zealanders on the scene. Their main purpose was to see Chen Feng appear on the field and turn the tide. As soon as Chen Feng came on the field, they would definitely cheer for the Chinese team and Chen Feng, and the scene was truly the home court of the Chinese team.
During the half-time break, Harris made another adjustment to the tactics, mainly focusing on strengthening the defense, especially against the opponent's top scorer Philip Jones, who specially sent Liu Wei to guard the defense and Guo Shiqiang assisted the defense.
At the beginning of the third quarter of the second half, the Chinese team once curbed the New Zealand team's offense. First, Yao Ming made a hook shot and scored a two-pointer to tie the score. Then Liu Wei made a three-pointer and overturned the score with a color. On the other hand, the New Zealand team made two shots but failed to hit, and they didn't get a rebound.
Afterwards, Yao Ming took the ball at the basket and squeezed out the opponent's No. 10 defense player, turned around and spiked the ball to score. He looked very domineering. He even attracted a lot of cheers from the scene and directly made a 7:0 climax.
Harris and Chen Feng were a little relieved when they saw this. If this continues, the Chinese team will still be able to win this game smoothly.
However, the opponent's head coach immediately requested a timeout. After the timeout, the morale of the New Zealand team increased greatly again. First, Jones hit a three-pointer again, and then another New Zealand player also hit a three-pointer, easily overtaking the score again. He led the Chinese team by one point.
The Chinese team was completely confused by these two three-pointers. Although they rose up to overtake, even Yao Ming also made an iron shot. He missed the shot, grabbed the rebound and missed the rebound. He threw it to Zhu Fangyu outside the three-point line. Zhu Fangyu took the ball and shot a three-pointer, but someone interfered and followed him to the iron shot.
The opponent grabbed the rebound that grabbed the ball and immediately counterattacked quickly. Although the Chinese team returned to defense in time, Jones suddenly threw away Liu Wei's defense and received the ball from the three-point line, and without hesitation, he actually hit the ball again.
In this game, he had already shot six three-pointers in a row, and each shot, with a shooting percentage of 100%, almost like Chen Feng possessed, which made many people look at him with admiration.
This three-pointer hit the morale of the Chinese team very much. Although the Chinese team was a little unacceptable and rose up to resist, they still felt addicted to their hands. They even made a goal in seven consecutive shots. At this time, New Zealand had already led the Chinese team by seven points.
At the end of the third quarter, New Zealand finally led the Chinese team and entered the last quarter with seven points.
This time, all the Chinese team members had no good looks. Yao Ming was so angry that he kowtowed his forehead with his fists. The bad hand feeling in the third quarter started with him. After that, the whole team followed him to make a blacksmith.
With Chen Feng's joining, Yao Ming certainly felt the tremendous pressure. He wanted to prove himself in this Olympics too much. It was also because of male hormones. He really wanted to show his excellent side to his girlfriend. Zhang Li, who also came to the Olympics to participate in basketball this time, showed his excellent side on the field. As a result, he was a little unwilling to play twice. Originally, he was the most confident that he could lead the whole team to win the game without Chen Feng's play, but he still fell behind in the third quarter. This made him very unwilling.
If he wants the world to prove his basketball value and prove that he is also the core of the Chinese team, he is not much worse than Chen Feng. But it is obvious that at least he has messed up this game that is almost certain.
Therefore, he said to head coach Harris after the game: "Coach, I'm sorry, I didn't perform well enough, but in the last quarter I promised to perform better and eventually win this game. There is no need to send Chen Feng to the court. He still has several swimming competitions tonight and must save his strength."
Harris looked at Chen Feng and Chen Feng shrugged, saying that it doesn't matter. Harris couldn't help but give Yao Ming face. For safety reasons, he planned to let Chen Feng play in the last quarter.
"Okay, Yao, I believe you. Don't have too much psychological burden, and the same goes for others. Continue to strengthen the defense, especially the opponent's No. 8 player, Liu Wei and Guo, you two must defend..." Harris talked endlessly and arranged the tactics for the last quarter.
A few minutes later, the last quarter began. The audience thought Chen Feng would play, but it was not the case. They were disappointed. Many people were even angry and even booed after the Chinese team took the ball, which affected the morale of the Chinese team somewhat.
But Yao Ming really planned to work hard this time. After receiving the ball, he immediately dunked with a very domineering dunk and scored two points first.
However, the New Zealand team obviously tried hard this time, and immediately returned the ball, which was a two-pointer. Moreover, Cook, the No. 10 player in charge of defending Yao Ming, frequently harassed Yao Ming, and kept making small moves. After Yao Ming harassed his small moves, Yao Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Cook directly.
The New Zealand No. 10 player staggered back two steps, then sat on the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle. At this moment, the whole audience suddenly became quiet, and the audience's eyes were focused on the referee.
After making several gestures, the referee directly determined that Yao Ming had violated his body and was sent off. The judgment was immediately in an uproar. Not only did the Chinese team quit, but even the New Zealand team quit. The players on both sides immediately surrounded the referee and pleaded for mercy, thinking that the penalty was too heavy. The initiator, the New Zealand No. 10 player, looked even more regretful, and pleaded with the referee on his head, and said in English that he had fallen on purpose just now, so Yao Ming did not push him very heavily.
What Cook said was the truth. He originally wanted to cheat the opponent's technical foul and got two free throws for his team, but the result was counterproductive. Unexpectedly, the referee directly made Yao Ming's physical foul. This obviously made the New Zealand team lose more than he deserved. Chen Feng would definitely come up without saying that Yao Ming would go on. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
