Chapter 1604 1603. The Strongest Pretender

Gasol tried his best to stop the Chinese team's iron heel, but...

Liu Mang scored four three-pointers in the middle of the fourth quarter, narrowing the gap that Gasol had finally led to 3 points to 15 points!

This feeling is just like Kobe Bryant's three-pointer that made the Spanish team desperate in the Olympic finals in time and space... and it is even more desperate!

The Spanish team was finally thrown into collapse by Liu Mang!

Although Gasol scored a huge triple-double of 41 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, creating the strongest triple-double in the history of the Spanish team.

But... Liu Mang scored 52 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, the strongest triple-double in Olympic history!

Liu Mang, who played for 40 minutes, made 19 of 33 shots, including 9 of 14 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 52 points. He scored 50+ points in his third Olympic Games and led the Chinese team to a 113-102 defeat. The Spanish team advances to the finals!

When the final whistle sounded, all the fans went crazy!

All 17,316 Chinese fans were cheering. The Chinese team players worked hard for the whole game. Although there were only 8 players in rotation today and four players did not have a single second of playing time, no one was dissatisfied. Because they won!

Yi Jianlian played the entire game on the inside, and Liu Mang played the entire game on the outside. The inside rotation only used Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming. The outside was okay. Li Nan, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng rotated and tried their best to maintain the game. Sustaining a weak lead gave Liu Mang the chance to explode and take away the game!

Entering the finals, which is a guaranteed silver medal!

The feeling of having the opportunity to win a gold medal in the Olympic Games held in his country made veteran Li Nan, who had previously won the World Championships gold medal with Liu Mang and Yao Ming, become like a dying old man, sobbing and unable to speak. Only tears were flowing.

"We did it, we really did it..." Director Zhang, the leader of the men's basketball team, went crazy. He couldn't even cheer like when the Lakers won the championship in the 2007 Finals. He trembled and said the same word repeatedly.

Seeing the madness of his teammates and listening to the crazy celebration cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and stood in the center of the court, closed his eyes, spread his arms and enjoyed it all.

Seeing his actions, even the reporters who gathered around to interview him consciously stopped and did not bother Liu Mang.

As basketball reporters, they were in awe of Liu Mang's performance today!

There has never been such a player, not even the Big Three of the Dream Team, the Devil Birds, can't compare with Liu Mang!

It seems like everything can be done!

Everything!

Finally, Liu Mang opened his eyes and threw the basketball into the audience. A seven or eight-year-old kid grabbed the ball, making a group of adult fans embarrassed to grab it.

The referee was helpless. The ball was originally going to be recycled and auctioned, but this was his home court, so he went with Liu Mang.

It was finally time to interview, and Chang Gun Dun Pao immediately approached Liu Mang: "Ace, congratulations on leading the national team to the Olympic finals for the first time. How do you feel about this game?"

What does it feel like? Are you happy?

Liu Mang felt that he didn't feel like this...

He feels this is natural!

Liu Mang made a pensive expression, organized his words and said: "This game was very good. The Spanish team performed very well. They made me enjoy the happiest game. They worked very hard, but we are number one in the world." ! I hope the next US team can bring me more fun.”

Hot news comes out instantly...

"...He is indeed the strongest pretender in the legend! Well, if you win, everything you say is right..."

…

The players and coaching staff of the American team rushed to Wukesong Arena to watch the game immediately after the game. They happened to see the Chinese team lead Spain by 9 points at halftime, and then watched Liu Mang get a super triple-double, and finally scored 12 consecutive points. points sealed the victory in the second half.

This group of coaches, who are the most unique or strongest in the NBA, and a team of 12 superstars who can aspire to be the best in the NBA in various technical aspects, were all stunned by Liu Mang's performance.

I thought that by bringing together the best players from my country and most of the core players who have won NBA championships in the past few years, I could easily win the gold medal in this Olympics.

But...the performance of the opponent's world's strongest player, who has won the Finals MVP for the past five years and the regular season MVP four times, has made Team USA, the team with the most luxurious lineup, feel deeply fearful...

When the American team returned to the hotel to rest, the little blacksmith saw Liu Mang's words during the interview and was so angry that he went back to the gym to practice more!

…

…

"Relax, relax..."

Liu Mang tried his best to adjust himself to a relaxed state. The medal has been locked in, and the worst is a silver medal. Even netizens who stand on the moral high ground are crazily praising their country's men's basketball team online for seven consecutive victories and reaching the finals. In the past, this was the exclusive performance of the U.S. team and Yugoslavia. The Chinese team has achieved it in two consecutive world championships.

Entering the final means that the Chinese team has secured a medal in the three most valuable men's competitions in ball sports, and the fans are very satisfied.

Therefore, Liu Mang's pressure was naturally much less.

Liu Mang naturally wanted to defeat the strongest American team since the Dream Team. If he could win the world championship at home, it would definitely be something that Liu Mang wanted very much, and it was also something that his teammates wanted very much.

But he should not be too stressed because of this. Just moderate stress is enough.

The morning after the match against the Spanish team, Liu Mang played Real 3-5 on the TV and PS3 in the conference room, waiting for the national team leaders and coaching staff to come to the morning meeting.

Both the Chinese team and the American team got two days of rest. On August 26, the final will be held at the Olympic Sports Center.

As for Wei Yuanli, Liu Mang had already communicated with Coach Zhang about playing games on the TV here, so there was no problem. When his teammates saw Liu Mang playing games and felt his relaxed attitude, the pressure that had been accumulated in their hearts to defeat the American team was also relieved a lot.

Although the Chinese team was the champion of the last World Championships, it is now the world's number one and has locked in the top two in the world for the next two years; although the American team has not won the championship for three consecutive world championships, and even failed to enter the semi-finals for three consecutive world championships.

However, when the US team re-formed the Dream Team, they were still the strongest in the world in the minds of most basketball fans.

China once won the world's first place, and of course they didn't want to give it up so easily, so even if the Chinese people didn't put pressure on them and the top management of the national team rarely put pressure on them, the players put pressure on themselves.
