Chapter 339: Chapter 187 The Free Market Shakes Once Again_5

"Dream 7 Team" couldn’t break through, and they didn’t have a second chance on offense.

Players like Wade and LeBron didn’t dare to take three-point shots from outside.

Carmelo Anthony, though, was bold enough to shoot and is known as a "major weapon on the international basketball scene," but his touch wasn’t great tonight.

What’s more important is...

"Another three-pointer!"

"OMG!"

"Has Su Wan’s three-point shooting improved that much over the summer?"

"He’s already hit five three-pointers in the game!"

The FIBA three-point line is actually like the NBA’s long mid-range line, so, strictly speaking, it’s more about Su’s mid-range skills being stronger. Of course, his three-point shooting has also genuinely improved. Over the last month he has increased it to 74 points, and 75 points would be on par with the upper level of main players.

His response allowed the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team to tighten their defense under the basket with peace of mind, preventing the Dream 7 Team from getting up to speed.

In fact, every iteration of the Dream Teams, due to the need for synergy and other factors, had a very simple strategy: defense counterattack, constant breakthroughs, and fast-paced "one-and-done" offense.

From Dream One Team to Dream 7 Team, it has always been this way.

Except previous Dream Teams were more reasonably matched and were at their peak, with superstars used to the grand stage.

This year’s Dream Seven doesn’t have a single NBA Championship Trophy between them.

Not to mention, they continually leave the ball in the hands of LeBron, the "Superstar" capable of making star teammates look ordinary.

Fans who watched the 2024 Olympics know that if that Dream Team had lost two players and activated two benched ones, they would definitely have displayed more dominance.

Some people just have the ability to turn their teammates into fixed roles, no matter how capable they are.

With the ball in his hands, Su felt very reassured.

In the second half, the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team played even tighter, and the point difference reached about 10. LeBron probably saw his stats and immediately went into "adversity" mode, forcefully driving with the ball, breaking into double-digit scoring, as the game time ticked down to the last 3 minutes.

The Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team was just a shiver away from victory; as long as they guarded this 8-point lead, they would become another team in FIBA history to defeat a "Dream Team."

"Emperor" takes turns sitting, this year it’s coming to my house!

It was time the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team tasted victory against the "Dream Team."

But it was an incredibly difficult task.

The "Dream Team" also had a trait, like mutated bosses, that would "burst seed" and go "Unrivaled" when wounded.

The Dream 7 Team was no exception.

After all, each of them was the core of their respective teams, lacking synergy and not accustomed to FIBA rules. But when the game became turn-based, needing them to stand out with individual play to solve problems, they quickly found their rhythm.

First, "Solo Joe" hit a stable mid-range shot against Wang Shipeng, then Anthony scored a three-pointer. At this time, Wade also charged towards the basket, successfully completing a layup.

In just 1 minute, the lead was cut down to 1 point.

Fortunately, the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team also had members who could go "Unrivaled."

Yao Ming scored a jump shot, then Su Wan faked a three-point shot, shaking off Wade and charging to the basket, drawing a foul from Brand.

After sinking both free throws, the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team narrowly defeated the Dream 7 Team 98 to 96.

Another team has emerged victorious over the "Dream Team" in international competition.

That is the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team!

"Damn!"

Zhu Fangyu, who had been battling LeBron all game long, feeling his heart about to burst, threw a hard punch.

Standing next to him, LeBron seemed to have thought of something and quickly dodged far away, a look of wariness on his face.

Zhu Fangyu’s eyes were no longer on him at this moment; he rushed towards the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team, now centered around Su Wan.

"Dream 7 Team"?

Heh~

It was about taking down your "Dream 7 Team"!

The domestic fans watching the game were ecstatic beyond measure.

Everyone was looking forward to the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team’s performance this year, but they never expected them to take down the Dream 7 Team and advance as the first in the group.

Su Qun was still analytically saying, "This has a lot to do with the lack of veterans on the Dream Seven team, and their form tonight was unusually poor. If... "

But who cares about rationality in the commentary booth?

Yu Jia shouted, trembling, "This is a historic moment for the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team, the dream of all in the Huaxia basketball community. We’ve beaten the great basketball nation, the United States. We’ve done it. Generations of basketball players’ efforts have finally taken root today and borne fruit. Let’s congratulate the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team on advancing to the knockout stage as the group leader. Every one of their names will be remembered by history!"

Subsequently, the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team successfully advanced to the semifinals but lost to the muscular Greeks who had previously defeated the United States.

This Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team wasn’t afraid of "Talent Teams" like the "Dream Team" that used NBA-style play, but they dreaded the European "muscular clubs" and their grinding, meat-grinder-like attrition.

Physical fitness was always the Achilles’ heel of the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team.

Su Wan had a bit of an accident in this match.

Trying to save the ball, he lunged out of bounds, headed for a collision with a female fan watching the game. Seeing her terrified expression, he knew he was in for it. Fearing she might end up directly in ICU, he used his hand to brace against the back of a chair to roll past her to the row behind.

He hit his forehead and started bleeding right away.

After a simple bandaging, he continued with the game, but unfortunately, by the fourth quarter, every player on the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team apart from him had run out of stamina.

After the game, the female fan found an interpreter to ask if he was dizzy and if he needed to go to the hospital for a check-up.

And then he learned her name: Yui Aragaki.
