Jason Kidd was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team four times and the Second Team five times; Kobe Bryant was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team nine times and the Second Team three times.

Two defensive warriors stopped Lu Qiujian's last shot. Coach K didn't take him seriously.

Seeing Lu Qiujian using his physical advantage to leap high on the aging Kidd, all the players of the Dream Team and all the fans at the scene and in front of the TV held their breath.

Kobe stretched out his arm to block Lu Qiujian's shooting path. Kidd glanced at the referee secretly and touched Lu Qiujian's waist with his elbow.

At first glance, Lu Qiujian had no chance to score. However, the basketball in his hand did not meet Kobe's raised arm. He took the ball back and flicked it from behind his head. The basketball fell to the penalty area not far away.

In the hands of Wang Zhizhi.

There was no one in front of Wang Zhizhi at this moment. He turned around slightly, glanced at the basket, and gently moved his fingers. At this moment, the entire audience stood up, watching the basketball slowly fly across the sky, and landed when the red light came on.

Into the basket!

The whole court seemed to be frozen. Everyone stared blankly at Wang Zhizhi standing at the top of the free throw arc. He looked at the basket in the distance with nostalgic eyes. He wondered if he remembered April 6, 2001, in Dallas.

The Mavericks played against the Atlanta Hawks at home. When the game reached 6 minutes and 7 seconds in the fourth quarter, he took a pass from Steve Nash and made his NBA goal in the same position and using the same technique.

First goal.

At that time, he was just twenty-four years old and in his prime. As the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, he was shrouded in a dazzling aura. However, due to his technical and character flaws, he was unable to play in the NBA.

The road he walked was extremely difficult; later, in order to get a chance in the NBA, he had huge differences with the basketball center, which led to him being banned for a long time.

However, he also used his actions to let the basketball management center know that athletes are not playthings that can be manipulated by them. He used his own painful sacrifice to pave a bloody path for Yao Ming and others in the later period, and won for them more relaxed conditions.

space.

In 2006, he returned to the national team and used his outstanding performance to lead the national team to win the Asian Championship; in this Olympics, without Yao Ming, he used his aging body to carry the inside.

Although the heavy burden of offense and defense was not as dazzling as Lu Qiujian in the first few games, he also contributed an indelible force to the victories of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In this final, he once again used three-pointers and mid-range shots to hold on to the score, using his scarred body to hit the inside again and again, desperately causing fouls from Howard, Bosh and others.

After Yao Ming returned to the field, he did not give up the opportunity to return. He paid close attention to the defensive formation of the Mengba team; sure enough, at the last second of the game, he found the opponent's defensive loophole and ran to the position he was most confident about.

From the position, Lu Qiujian's pass was delivered in time just like Nash's back then. He did not hesitate at all, took the shot decisively, and delivered the most wonderful kill in the history of basketball!

Thinking of all the efforts he had made for the Chinese men's basketball team and his bumpy career, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, when was your most glorious moment? And for me, it's now!" For some reason, what came to his mind at this time was "Slam Dunk" Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance against Sanno.

paragraph.

"Yes, the most glorious moment in my career is now!" Wang Zhizhi raised his right hand high, then made a fist and slammed it down!

Beep! The referee's whistle sounded, two points were valid, and the game was over. In the men's basketball final of the 29th Summer Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the star-studded Dream Team 8 with a two-point advantage of 89:87 and won the championship.

The ultimate champion!

"Ah ah ah ah!" The whole place instantly turned into a boiling ocean. "Wang Zhizhi! Wang Zhizhi! Long live Wang Zhizhi! Long live the Chinese men's basketball team!" The shouts were like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"Dazhi, you are so awesome!" Yao Ming, who has always been reserved, was the first to pounce on him, hugging the big brother of the team and shaking him for a while, followed by Yi Jianlian, Du Feng, and Wang Shi on the bench.

Peng, Chen Jianghua and Wang Zhizhi were instantly submerged in the crowd.

"Do you think I will definitely shoot the last ball by myself?" Lu Qiujian looked at Kobe with a dull expression, "Basketball is for five people! I trust my teammates very much!"

All the members of the Dream Team 8 were frozen, staring blankly at the scoreboard above. They still couldn't believe that in this highly disparate game, they were defeated by an NBA player who averaged only 4.4 points in his career.

The water dispenser keeper made a killing blow! Some weak-willed ones even couldn't help crying. There is nothing more painful than being killed at the last second in the finals!

"Let's go, you performed very well in this game, and the responsibility for the failure is on me! If only I could discover the purpose of their inside killing tactics earlier!" Coach K recovered first and hugged his players one by one.

He glanced at the scoreboard in the distance for the last time with nostalgia. He knew that his career as the head coach of the Dream Team was coming to an end! When he was at Duke, he almost lost his position as head coach. In the Olympics, he lost his position as head coach again.

After taking away the championship, Lu Qiujian was really his nemesis!

After the celebration, all the members of the Chinese Basketball Team stood at the top of the podium wearing national flags. The Prime Minister, who almost shut up in laughter, appeared in front of the podium in person, preparing to award them with awards.

They shook hands one by one and wore medals for them. When Yao Ming, Lu Qiujian, and Du Feng finally came to Wang Zhizhi, the fans present applauded.

Yes, there were countless outstanding players in today's game. Lv Qiujian, who played for 35 minutes and scored 28 points, 10 assists, 13 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocks, only played half a game.

hour

Yao Ming, who scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 hot shots in one moment, Yi Jianlian, who rushed to the inside and drew fouls regardless of his own safety, veteran Li Nan, who showed no mercy at critical moments, and Chen Jianghua, a young player who was not afraid of tigers even after he was born.

However, Wang Zhizhi, who only scored 11 points and 6 rebounds, became the brightest star in the night sky of Beijing tonight! His victory will be remembered in the hearts of countless fans for ten or twenty years, even until he leaves.

that moment!

The national anthem sounded, and the bright national flag slowly rose into the sky. Wang Zhizhi put his left hand on his chest and sang quietly to the rhythm; today, I have no regrets in my career! (To be continued.)
