บท 107: Chapter 107: I Am Not Jordan
Before the second quarter began, Wade Dong checked his talent points. With the continuous victories in the Olympics, his talent points were approaching five hundred.
Wade Dong still had a system mission hanging over him. If they lost this game, the system's penalty would be a halving of his talent points... Wade Dong thought about it and decided that instead of losing half his points, he might as well spend some of them now. That way, even if they lost, the points deducted would be fewer.
Previously, Wade Dong had exchanged for a Jordan fadeaway jump shot skill package.
Now, in his skill inventory, there were still several of Jordan's skill packages, including basic dribbling, layups, sideways dunks, defense... Wade Dong decided to exchange all of them.
With these skill packages, Wade Dong was now comparable to Jordan at the shooting guard position.
This was mainly because Jordan's physical talents were almost maxed out... In terms of physical talents, Jordan and Wade Dong were close, but Wade Dong had a slight edge.
...
The second quarter began.
The USA team brought in their substitutes: Love, Griffin, Anthony, Harden, and Deron Williams.
Even this substitute lineup, if placed in the NBA, would be the top contenders for the championship. For the Chinese men's basketball team, it was still a huge challenge.
At the start of the second quarter, Wade Dong broke through Harden's defense and drove to the paint.
Griffin jumped to block Wade Dong, but Wade Dong used a reverse layup to avoid Griffin's block. At that moment, Love also jumped up, but Wade Dong, with his superior core strength, used another reverse layup to avoid Love and scored the basket!
This move was completed almost instantly.
"Swish..."
The ball circled the rim five or six times before dropping in.
29:45!!!
The score difference was reduced to 16 points.
Harden looked at Wade Dong's back and sighed heavily! Basketball could be played like this? If it were him, he would have drawn a foul on Griffin's block attempt.
...
In China, many fans excitedly banged their beer bottles on the tables.
"Brothers, we were wrong!"
"Wrong about what?"
"The outcome of this game isn't that important. We should just enjoy the scoring feast that Wade Dong is bringing us."
"Instead of betting on the outcome of the game, let's bet on how many great shots Wade Dong can make."
"And how many points Wade Dong can score in this game!"
"I bet 50 points!"
"I bet 60 points!"
"I bet 70 points!"
...
The fans' attitude towards watching the game changed from the second quarter onwards.
...
"Get back on defense! Get back on defense!"
Wade Dong said to his teammates while defending, "Leave the offense to me. You guys focus on defense and don't let the USA team score easily."
"No problem!"
Wade Dong's scoring also boosted the team's morale.
The USA team attacked, and Harden, facing Wade Dong's defense, faked a move and then leaned into Wade Dong to shoot.
This shot was way off... After shooting, Harden spread his hands and shouted at the referee, "Wade Dong fouled me! Wade Dong fouled me!"
However, the referee just gave Harden a stern look and didn't blow the whistle.
"Can't you play properly?"
Wade Dong scoffed, "If you like acting so much, you should go to Big Cow Entertainment and find Zhang Yang."
In 2012, Harden was just the third option on the Thunder, the Sixth Man of the Year. In a one-on-one situation against Wade Dong, he had no advantage. His attempt to draw a foul failed, but Wade Dong immediately scored on him with two crossovers and a pull-up jumper.
"Swish!!!"
The ball went in again.
31:45!!!
The score difference was down to 14 points, and Wade Dong's two shots gave the fans hope.
On the next possession, Harden essentially lost 4 points to Wade Dong, which frustrated him. He started demanding the ball, wanting to go one-on-one against Wade Dong! But Wade Dong's defense was solid, and Harden's shot missed again. Wang Xin grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wade Dong.
Wade Dong attacked again, and Harden signaled to his teammates not to help defend. Seeing this, Wade Dong smiled and said, "Idol, you're a bit overconfident..."
As he spoke, Wade Dong spun past Harden, drove to the basket, and scored a layup over Love's defense.
33:45!!!
At the start of the second quarter, Wade Dong scored 6 points, reducing the score difference to 12 points.
The Chinese men's basketball team was making a comeback, but Coach Kidd remained calm and didn't call a timeout. He wanted the players to adjust on their own... However, Kobe Bryant couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from the bench and signaled to Coach Kidd that he wanted to replace Harden.
Coach Kidd nodded.
Five minutes into the second quarter, Kobe replaced Harden, LeBron James replaced Love, Kevin Durant replaced Griffin, and Chris Paul replaced Deron Williams. Half of the starters were back on the court.
The USA men's basketball team started to take the game seriously, especially Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant!
They seemed to have activated their killer mode, and Wade Dong couldn't defend against both Kobe and LeBron James at the same time. Meanwhile, he had to face the defense of both Kobe and LeBron James.
The score difference widened again in favor of the USA team!
With one minute left in the second quarter, Wade Dong faced the defense of Kobe and LeBron James and looked for an opportunity to score.
"Your playing style today is very similar to Jordan's," Kobe suddenly said to Wade Dong. "But even peak Jordan couldn't beat us."
"I am not Jordan," Wade Dong replied casually. "Because I am stronger than Jordan."
As he spoke, Wade Dong faked a shot and went straight up for a jump shot!
Kobe saw through the move and jumped to block Wade Dong, but Wade Dong jumped too high. Kobe hit Wade Dong's wrist, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew the whistle, signaling a foul on Kobe.
As the whistle blew, the ball bounced off the rim and went in, resulting in a three-point play!
"Wade Dong is amazing!"
The fans erupted again as Wade Dong scored a three-point play against the defense of Kobe and LeBron James!
47:65!!!
With Wade Dong's score, the difference was back to 18 points, after being down by 20 points earlier.
"Swish!!!"
Wade Dong calmly made the free throw, making the score 48:65. China was trailing by 17 points.
With 47 seconds left, Kevin Durant took a quick three-pointer and missed. There were 41 seconds left on the clock.
Both teams had one more possession.
Of course, the Chinese men's basketball team had two options: one was to take a quick shot like Kevin Durant did, which would give them another possession even if the USA team used the full 24 seconds.
