Chapter 864 Noisy, Perfect, Legendary!

After the Chinese team easily defeated France to advance to the final, the Olympic men's basketball final between the Chinese team and the United States was scheduled for August 7 at 12 noon.

After the men's basketball finals between the United States and China at noon, it will be the third-place finals between France and Slovenia in the evening.

After the third and fourth place finals, there is the Olympic men's basketball awards ceremony.

But obviously, basketball fans around the world don't care much about the third or fourth place finals between France and Slovenia.

After all, the Chinese team and the United States team once again meet in the Olympic finals. Such a prosperous basketball era is really rare.

In the history of Olympic men's basketball, the last time the U.S. team won the Olympic championship was in 2000.

In the four Olympic Games after that, the champions were all Chinese teams.

It is hard to imagine that the United States team has not won the Olympic men's basketball championship for 21 years.

It is really hard to imagine that the Chinese team can actually suppress the American team for 21 years.

Therefore, for the Chinese and American teams, if the Chinese team wins this year, it will be an astonishing five consecutive championships.

And if the U.S. team wins the championship, it will regain its own dignity and pride after 21 years.

Therefore, this game is really important to the two teams.

So much so that before the game started, the coaches and players of both teams were very low-key.

During the interview, they were all teasing each other crazily.

For example, Jordan, the head coach of the US team, said in an interview before the game: "This Chinese team is the strongest team in the history of FIBA. In the history of FIBA, there has never been such a team." They are all two meters tall, and three players are over 2.13 meters tall. Everyone can shoot, everyone can pass, and everyone can control the ball and play in isolation. I don’t know if there will be a team stronger than them in the future. There has never been a team that can be their opponent in the past.”

"Michael, do you think the Dream Team is not their opponent?"

"The Dream Team is not their opponent?"

"The Dream Team with O'Neal may be their opponent, but everyone knows that the Dream Team does not have O'Neal."

Jordan smiled and continued: "For this American team, facing such an opponent, our requirements are very simple, that is, try our best to do every detail, try our best to play every round, and try our best to The Chinese team creates confrontation and pressure. We will not have many opportunities, but we need to seize all opportunities. This is not an easy task, but I know we are ready."

Joe's humility at the press conference before the game made American fans feel sad.

Everyone knows that Boss Joe is actually not such a person, not before, and now that he has become the president of the NBA, he is even more not such a humble person.

But there is no other way. It is impossible not to be humble. Calculating the winning rate based on the handicap offered by various bookmakers before the game, the winning rate of the Chinese team is as high as 85%.

This still takes into account the history of the U.S. team. If the U.S. team is replaced by a team from Spain or other countries, a team without such a great historical reputation, the U.S. team's winning rate may not even be 10%.

After all, after watching the inextricable battle between the United States and Slovenia in the semifinals, and the brutal beating of the French team by the Chinese team, some people believe that these two teams are not on the same level.

The French team, which overwhelmed the American team in the first game of the group stage, knelt down too thoroughly in front of the Chinese team.

Gobert, a player who was like a defensive god in front of the American team, became a sieve in front of the Chinese team and was shot in various ways.

Even the French team's inside line is so miserable. As for the American team's inside line consisting of Adebayor and Dream Green, can he stop the Chinese team?

Even in the previous games of the US team, Dream Green and Adebayor did not play together. The two played separately. In fact, Durant was the player who played power forward most of the time.

Durant and Adebayo are the starting insiders of the US team.

The two are very mobile, but in the FIBA ​​arena, regardless of the size of the court or the rules of the game, FIBA ​​is not conducive to mobility.

Tall, big and accurate, he is the chosen one of FIBA.

Durant actually fits this profile personally, but compared to the Chinese team as a whole, the American team is short, thin, and tough by the standards.

Can't beat it, in short, definitely can't beat it!

Before the game, the TNT team, headed by Barkley, Webber, Mai Zi, and O'Neal, looked down on the American team crazily.

O'Neal even said: "Michael thinks too highly of me. There are only three big men as tall as the Chinese team. Even if it is me, under the rules of FIBA, it will be difficult to break through them. However, if the Dream Team has me and KD, We can have a 50-50 draw with this Chinese team."

"I know you will think this is incredible, but man, in terms of FIBA ​​rules, most of the so-called NBA superstars and All-Stars on the US team are not that useful, and maybe not even as good as a role player like an international player in the NBA. use."

"I agree with Shaq. In FIBA, Patty Mills is more of a superstar than Devin Booker and Lillard."

It is in this atmosphere that the U.S. team is going to face an opponent that has always been regarded so highly.

Of course, such an atmosphere is actually very beneficial to the American team.

The arrogant and powerful team of the US team laid many traps for Durant in this year's Olympics. Isn't it because the US team is stronger than these teams?

I feel that no matter how big the hole is, it can still be buried, but facing the Chinese team, a team that has dominated an era for the past 21 years, even Lillard and other American players who are crazy about digging holes will inevitably feel a little awe-inspiring.

Under such external pressure, the US team will definitely be more united and play more holistically, and this is also a point that the Chinese team needs to pay attention to.

Therefore, at the pre-match combat meeting on August 6, Chen Xiao, as the head coach, also pointed out this point.

"A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, which means we are like this now. Although we are very close to the end, we are still missing the last step, and this step is destined to be different from the path we took in the past."

Chen Xiao didn't say much to put pressure on the players, but pointed out the issue.

Chen Xiao is willing to believe that Ah Lian, who is in the most agitated mood in the Chinese team, understands what he is talking about.

Yes, Arab League is the most excited person in the Chinese team right now, and he will be perfect soon.

Faced with such a thing, no one would not feel excited.

Generally speaking, players whose psychological quality is not up to par, faced with such a situation, are hard to tell whether they can sleep the night before the game.

Of course, after so many years, Arab League has a very strong psychological quality.

So after being picked on by Chen Xiao, Arab League worked very hard to adjust his mentality before the game.

Arab Lian is actually very clear. As long as there is no problem with his mentality and the team continues to play according to the previous style of play, no team in the world can beat them.

Neither does Team USA.

Therefore, whether he can realize his dream of a perfect career depends not on his opponents, but on himself.

On August 7th, at 12 noon, the Saitama Super Arena, which was originally not allowed to have spectators, was almost full today.

What's most surprising is that the spectators around the arena are all wearing staff or volunteer clothing, but as everyone knows, most of these people are probably not Olympic staff or volunteers.

Faced with such a group of people, it is actually very difficult for the Olympic Organizing Committee to handle it.

If it were a one-size-fits-all approach, there would be no spectators allowed at the Olympics, which would be easy for them to handle.

But the weird thing about the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee is that football is allowed to have spectators, but other games are not allowed to have spectators. Then, Japanese men's basketball fans stopped doing it.

Your Japanese men's football team is a favorite to win medals in the Olympics.

The Japanese women’s basketball team led by our idols such as Kanna Hashimoto and Asuka Saito won medals in the last session, and this session is also a hot spot for medals.

Why can fans watch the men's football team, but not our women's basketball team?

I have to say that the Japanese women's basketball team is really up to par this year.

The Japanese team relied on the host country's advantage in drawing lots to draw the Chinese team to the American team, and even made it all the way to the finals. This result is really amazing.

Although it is certain that they cannot beat the American team, they have already made history by defeating the South Korean team led by Choi Yi-won in the semi-finals and reaching the final.

Especially in this game against the Korean team, in the end it was Hashimoto Kanna who assisted Saito Asuka with a three-pointer to win the game.

Let's put it this way, although South Korea's overall strength is not as good as Japan's this year, the South Korean team's Choi Yiwon plays just like Doncic of the men's basketball team, which is quite explosive.

Cui Yiyuan, who is 22 years old this year, started practicing basketball in Chen Xiao's training camp when he was 12 years old. He made his idol debut at the age of 16. Now, he has been practicing with Chen Xiao for 10 years.

Cui Yiyuan's vitality is definitely a top talent among girls, and she also works very hard. At the age of 17 in the last Olympics, she was actually a substitute for South Korea's Lee Ji-eun.

This year, she has succeeded Lee Ji-eun and become the well-deserved leader of the Korean team.

And the stunning battle she led the South Korean team against the Japanese team in the semifinals this year set off an anti-Japanese wave throughout South Korea.

For Japan, the Japanese team finally won this game. It was the tacit cooperation between the two beautiful girls that finally staged a perfect victory.

But for Korean fans, this game is about your Japanese team cheating and black whistle. If it weren't for the help of the referee, you would have lost long ago. If you hadn't blackmailed the Chinese team into another division, would you have reached the finals?

There is no way, the Koreans are always narrow-minded. They could have reached the finals and won a silver medal, but in the end they could only get an iron medal. No one can stand this.

After all, even the most cautious Koreans know that the strongest women's basketball teams now are the American team and the Chinese team. These two teams are simply invincible to other teams.

If the Korean team plays the Chinese team in the third or fourth place finals, it will definitely be gone.

Of course, although there is a high probability that the Korean women's basketball team will not win a medal this year, there is no harsh criticism of them in South Korea, which is very unusual.

Girl idols such as Choi Yiwon, Im Nayeon, and Son Chaeyoung have all gained huge popularity.

Of course, in the competition between Korea and Japan, there is also a girl idol who is the worst.

Minami Nai, who played on behalf of the Japanese team, is a female idol who debuted in South Korea, and she was the key player who completed the steal in the end and created the final chance for the Japanese team.

And the last person she stole was the same female teammate Lin Nalian.

Moreover, her steal was indeed suspected of being a foul.

She also knew that there was a suspicion of fouling, but there was still a little time left in the game, there was no timeout, and she was two points behind in the end. She might as well give it a try. If she committed a foul, it would be a foul. She would lose. If she committed a foul and missed the free throw, there would still be a chance. Chance.

However, who would have thought that the referee would not blow the whistle at the last moment.

Her foul, which was originally a free throw, ended up being a game-winning steal.

She became the heroine of all Japanese girls.

At the same time, she also became the female thief who was angry all over South Korea.

Just like Ahn Jung-hwan who was fired by the Italian team.

Ming Minami’s journey as an idol in Korea is definitely coming to an end.

So, in the end, after Saito Asuka completed the winning goal, the entire Japanese team was celebrating like crazy and happily, but only Nai Minami was crying and laughing at the same time. It was heartbreaking to see that.

However, another interesting thing happened after this game. When fans and reporters in Japan comforted her and said that she was also a super idol back in Japan, Nai Minami, who had adjusted her mood and returned, said something that made the whole of Japan break down. if.

"No, after competing in the Olympics, I will retire from the idol world. Let me tell you some good news. I will become a full-time mother."

"..."

Good guy, if she hadn't blown herself up, no one would have known that she was a mother at the age of 24.

This is also well hidden.

But thinking about that person, the Japanese reporters were really angry.

No one knows that in the current Japanese and Korean idol world, those seemingly innocent and lovely girl idols actually hide countless mothers.

Of course, as a national hero, even if the defense is broken, what can be done?

Of course I have to support it even with tears in my eyes!

Such a beautiful and powerful Yamato hero wants to take advantage of that guy again!

Of course, it's not like they can't do anything.

For example, during the men's basketball final between China and the United States, I booed that guy crazily.

Let's put it this way, Japan and South Korea played in the semifinals last night, and today happens to be the time when the Japanese women's basketball team is the most popular.

Therefore, the Japanese spectators on the sidelines of the Chinese and American teams really booed crazily whenever Chen Xiao got the ball during the game.

For the match between the Japanese women's basketball team and the Korean women's basketball team, the stadium was full.

In this match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the American Men's Basketball Team, the stadium was also full.

In a game where fans were not allowed to enter, the presence of such a bunch of fans booing Chen Xiao really stunned the American players present.

Of course, the Chinese players were also stunned.

So when Gao Bo and Xiao Chen were replaced to rest, Gao Bo couldn't help but ask Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, my idol Mina (Ming Jingnan), is it you too...?"

After Gao Bo asked secretly, little Chen Sheng, who was always known as the little stone Buddha, closed his eyes helplessly.

In fact, if the pretty and cute girls in your life are all you...

You will also break defenses.

Seeing Xiao Chen like this, Gao Bo regretted asking this question. It reminded him of the tragic story of returning to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and seeing a bunch of children calling him grandpa because of their junior status.

Thinking about it, Xiao Chen must have much more than his grandfather.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was wildly booed by the Japanese audience on the court, naturally did not know that Xiao Chen was defeated by Gao Bo's question.

On the court, Curry, Rose, Lillard, and the U.S. team's back line are all about to break through for him.

Not to mention the group of American players on the court, even the commentators on the sidelines were clueless.

"Hua Q, God is already 39, but in this game, he still has to play the entire game!"

"No wonder he is just like Chamberlain. Even basketball cannot consume his excess energy!"

In the FIBA ​​arena, after the disadvantages of athletic ability were covered up, Chen Xiao's advantages in strength and height were simply a nightmare for the defenders of the US team.

Especially in this game, Chen Xiao was online from the beginning to the end of the game, maxing out the entire US team's luxurious back line.

Amid wild boos from the Japanese audience, Chen Xiao led the Chinese team to a 108-96 victory over the US team.

At the same time, in the evening match between France and Slovenia, the French team defeated Slovenia 90 to 89.

At the award ceremony, when the Chinese team wore the gold medal, Arab League, who had won his tenth world championship on the podium, cried, although he had already cried once in the morning.

This is the fifth consecutive Olympic championship for the Chinese team, five consecutive Olympic championships, an incredible legend.

At the same time, the UAE also won the tenth world championship in his career, which is also an incredible legend. The only one in FIBA ​​history, the first PF in history, it is certain.

By the way, the MVP of this Olympic Games was finally shared between Chen Xiao and Arab League.

I have to say that FIBA ​​is quite good at being a good person.

At the same time, Gao Bo, UAE Lian, Durant, Chen Xiao, and Doncic were selected for the first team of this year's Olympic Games.

Although the 2021 Tokyo Olympics has been postponed for a year, it is still perfect.

At the press conference that night after the Olympics, the number one power forward in FIBA ​​history, the ten-time champion legend of the Chinese men’s basketball team, the 15th All-Star starter in the NBA, and the double legend of the Chinese team and the Jazz who completed the 215th milestone in the NBA. , Yi Jianlian, announced his retirement.

Another legend comes to an end.
