The players of the Dream Team played very easily at the beginning. Facing a second-rate team like Jiangnan Club, they didn't need to try their best. They just needed to be a little more serious.
But after the first timeout, the situation changed quietly. They felt that the opponent was getting faster and faster, and their luck was getting better and better. They even wanted to foul to prevent the opponent from getting the ball, but even fouling was useless.
Whether it was dribbling, rebounding, or three-point shooting, the players of Jiangnan Club played very well. They felt like they had met the strongest opponent in their lives.
They felt their physical strength was gradually fading away, and their confidence was also gradually lost. This situation of starting out in the lead but then being tied made them feel very bad, and this kind of pressure could easily destroy their self-confidence.
Coach Allen felt the same as the players, even more nervous and depressed than them. He knew that the opponents were not ordinary people, but a team trained by China's ancient martial arts supreme master.
He could tell at a glance that Zhao Dongqiang and the others were stronger and faster than normal people. He became a little impatient and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Tom, one of the main players of the Dream Team, sprained his ankle due to excessive exertion and had to leave the court. He was replaced by substitute player Pot Cover Head.
The guy with the pot-covered hair looked unconvinced. He didn't believe that the Chinese players were physically stronger than his own players.
After Zhao Dongqiang easily bypassed his defense and put the basketball into the net, reversing the score, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
How could this guy be so fast
Zhao Dongqiang broke through him again, as fast as a phantom.
He was furious and thought to himself that he couldn't let this kid break through so easily again. He reached out to pull Zhao Dongqiang's sleeve.
His coach had taught him this tactic in previous professional leagues. If he encountered a strong opponent, he had to take some small actions in order to curb the opponent's dominance.
His little move was very covert, blocking the referee's view with his body.
But when his fingers touched Zhao Dongqiang's sleeves, he felt his fingers shake violently and he couldn't hold Zhao Dongqiang's jersey at all.
A gust of wind blew, and Zhao Dongqiang scored another layup.
He touched his aching fingers blankly. Is this kid electrified
Allen was so angry that he yelled at him: "What are you doing? Get serious."
Zhao Dongqiang took advantage of the situation at the beginning of the second half and scored two goals, which made the Jiangnan Club team surpass the Dream Team.
The whole stadium burst into thunderous applause. The Chinese fans' hands turned red from clapping with excitement, and the cheers almost blew the roof of the stadium off.
Deputy Mayor Zhang and Director Chen of the Sports Bureau also cheered along with the fans.
Deputy Mayor Zhang said proudly: "This team played really well. These players played better than the national team."
Seeing Deputy Mayor Zhang's excited look, Director Chen was secretly happy. It seemed that Deputy Mayor Zhang liked basketball, and he was right to bring him to watch the game.
"After I got back, I showed the video to the head coach of our national team. He said a few days ago that he would select players from our Jiangnan Province. I think these players are pretty good. They beat the dream combination of the United States."
Deputy Mayor Zhang restrained his smile and said, "Director Chen, if you want to make a deal, the game isn't over yet. We've only played two-thirds of the way through, with one-third left. The gap is only a few points, and the Dream Team could overtake us at any time. We haven't won yet."
Director Chen nodded quickly and said, "The leader is right. I am too excited. I need to stay calm."
The deputy mayor smiled and said, "Director Chen, I understand your patriotism, but we have to make a deal. The uncertainty of the results of this kind of competition is the charm of sports. If the result is known at the beginning of the game, then what is the meaning of the game and sports competition?"
"The leader is right. We need to negotiate."
Suddenly, a breeze blew in the stadium, bringing a little chill. Most people could not feel that breeze, but Ye Feng had extraordinary senses. His heart tightened, thinking that this chill was suspicious.
On the surface, his face was always full of smiles, but in his heart he was always alert.
When leaving the island, Earl Cran reminded himself to be on guard against Coach Allen's witchcraft during the game, as Coach Allen's best skill was wind control.
This basketball court is enclosed, not open-air, so how could there be a cold wind blowing
Ye Feng noticed that Alan's lips were moving, he was chanting a spell, and the sly smile on his face showed that he was cheating.
The changes in players on the field prove this.
The players of the Dream Team are under tremendous pressure, resisting the attacks of the Jiangnan Club players, and their confidence is gradually collapsing.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing a slight coolness. They felt their bodies became lighter, as if a small motor was installed. They ran, grabbed the ball, and jumped beyond their limits.
Zhao Dongqiang was dribbling the ball and was about to slip past the Pot Cover Head. Several times, Zhao Dongqiang failed to dodge past him. The Pot Cover Head's reaction arc seemed to be too long and he could not prevent Zhao Dongqiang's breakthrough at all.
But this time, Zhao Dongqiang first swayed to the right, turned left, and rushed past the left side of the pot-covered man.
What was surprising was that a strong wind blew between the hands of the guy with the pot-cut hair, and he slapped the basketball out of Zhao Dongqiang's hand, and it fell at the feet of a teammate from the Dream Team next to him. After getting the ball, the teammate rushed to the backboard as fast as a gust of wind, jumped up, and dunked the basketball fiercely into the net.
The fierce spike triggered thunderous applause and caused screams.
No matter which team the players are from, China or the American Dream Team, as long as it is a good shot, the fans will feel excited and cheer for it.
The players of the Dream Team cheered ecstatically, not just because of the goal just now, but also because they felt their bodies became relaxed. The feeling of becoming like superman was so great.
In the blink of an eye, the Dream Team played very well, dunked five times in a row, overtook the score, and the score was gradually widening.
The score was not much, just five points, but the mental pressure was like a mountain pressing on the shoulders of Zhao Dongqiang and others.
And that superhuman feeling makes the players of the Dream Team bursting with confidence. This situation is terrifying, like a sharp blade inserted into the chest of every member of the Jiangnan Club.
Apart from Allen, only Ye Feng knew what happened.
Ye Feng cursed inwardly, this kid actually cheated. Our ancient martial arts are to improve the physical fitness of players, it is not cheating, it is to improve personal ability.
This wind control technique, which speeds up the Dream Team members, is the work of an external force and is blatant cheating. The two are completely different in nature.
