Chapter 371 Champion! Champion! Champion!
Athens, where the Olympic Village of the Chinese men's basketball team is located, returned to the village after the game. There was no celebration, and all the players went to rest.
Yuan Weimin took a few doctors to watch here personally, and did some psychological counseling work for the players.
In fact, he himself couldn't contain his excitement.
Three big goals, the men's basketball team not only achieved breakthrough results this time, but also reached the finals. What made him expect more was that the opponent in the finals was the defeat of the Chinese team. If they could win the championship in one fell swoop, their influence would be too great. big.
"Yao and Hammer were exhausted in the semi-finals," said Adi Jiang.
"Dayao voted a lot, he is really exhausted." Min Lulei said.
"The hammer is even more tiring. Attacking the basket and grabbing so many rebounds is the most exhausting." Adijiang said.
"Win the last battle, I will personally celebrate them." Yuan Weimin said.
The final is tomorrow, and it is already the early morning of the 28th, which is today.
For three consecutive days, the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals are extremely testing people's will and physical fitness.
At this time, the Internet in China is very lively.
"To be honest, I never dreamed that the men's basketball team would make it to the finals and possibly win the championship. It's unbelievable!"
"Ditto!"
"I'm very worried. Today, the Hammer and Dayao will play against each other. What will happen in the final?"
"Should the finals resume?"
"Today the hammer hit too hard, I doubt that man's bones were broken!"
"It deserves it!"
...
The next morning, in the building where the Argentine men's basketball team was located, discussions about tonight's finals were underway.
"Manu, what do you want to say?"
Seeing that Ginobili wanted to say something, coach Fernandez asked.
Ginobili said: "Sir, from last night's semi-finals, the Hammer has obviously exerted strength on the offensive end of the basket. This is something we have never experienced before. We must re-evaluate his ability."
"That's right, our insiders..." Fernandez looked at his insiders, nodded and said, "Not better than Italy."
A few insiders are a little ashamed, but this is the truth.
"The only difference is that Scola can pull out to play, this is our advantage." Ginobili said.
"So, what you're saying is, he's taking more shots this time, using his scoring to pull the Hammers out of the paint," Fernandez said.
"Yes, sir, I think so." Ginobili said.
"I'll think about it," Fernandez said.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the competition for the seventh place in the men's basketball team began. The US team finally won the victory and won the seventh place in the Olympic Games.
"After four years, we have to control the national team and do it like a hammer."
After the game, James, who didn't get any chance to play at all, said to Anthony and Wade.
"The future is up to us!" The two nodded.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the bronze medal competition began.
Italy finally defeated Lithuania and won the bronze medal.
At ten o'clock, the championship game began, and the Chinese team played against Argentina.
In the afternoon, the Chinese team went to the training hall to warm up, and the players were in better condition than yesterday, which made the coaching staff and delegation leaders heave a sigh of relief.
Today not only the main leaders of the delegation are present, but even the chairman of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee is here.
Then officials from the International Olympic Committee and FIBA, and officials from the Athens Olympic Committee were present.
Before the game, the first release was announced.
The Chinese team starts: Li Ba, Yao Min, Yi Jianlian, Guo Shiqiang, Liu Wei.
Argentina starting: Volkoski, Scola, Nocioni, Ginobili, Sanchez.
The young player Yi Jianlian started, and he felt a lot of pressure in the most critical championship game.
"Yi Jianlian, your task is to do a good job of flank defense and offensive cover, and you must make up the defense in time."
"Guo Shiqiang, keep an eye on Ginobili."
"Liu Wei, don't make mistakes, don't make wild shots, just go to the frontcourt and give it to Dayao."
"Dayao, your main attack and high-level support."
"Hammer, you have the right to take over the offensive end if other people are not good offensively, but you need to be efficient on the defensive end first."
The translator continued to talk about tactics following Harris, his voice trembling.
No way, not only him, but everyone else too.
Including the coaching staff, the mood is very nervous at this time.
After the tactical instructions, all the players stood together and put their hands together.
"victory!"
Captain Li Nan shouted loudly.
"victory!"
From the players, to the coaching staff, to the delegation and leadership behind, everyone cheered.
"champion!"
At this time, Li Ba shouted loudly.
Everyone was startled.
"What are you afraid of at this time? In today's battle, we met on a narrow road, and the bayonet saw red. There is victory but no defeat. There is only victory. Only victory. Call me..."
With a cold voice, Li Ba yelled: "Champion!"
"champion!"
Dayao took the lead, and everyone drank.
"champion!"
Li Ba shouted wildly again, shaking the arena.
"champion!"
Everyone drank.
"champion!"
Li Ba was already roaring.
"Champion! Champion! Champion..."
Everyone shouted in unison, all the Chinese and Chinese in the arena shouted and shouted in unison.
Even the Chinese people in front of countless TVs were also shouting in their hearts.
At this time, the Chinese team was full of fighting spirit and domineering.
In the final arena, everyone looked sideways.
"Chairman Liu, that's the hammer."
Behind the bench, Yuan Weimin pointed to Li Ba and said to Liu Qi.
In order to fully prepare for the game, the leadership did not disturb the rest and training of the men's basketball team before the game.
Nodding, Liu Qidao: "I know him. I've watched the CCTV live broadcast of the Suns game. This guy is different and has a bit of madness."
On the field, jump ball.
Dayao took the lead to touch the ball and hit Liu Wei.
Li Ba started very quickly, bypassing Scola on the opposite side, and rushed to the frontcourt.
When the small forward Nocioni saw it, he gritted his teeth and quickly moved laterally to block it.
When Li Ba saw it, he exerted force on his feet and increased his speed.
Nocioni's speed was not much faster than Li Ba's, and how could the speed of lateral movement be comparable to Li Ba's frontal sprint, Li Ba accelerated to pass.
Manu Ginobili and point guard Sanchez on the left and right wings could only watch helplessly as Li Ba rushed into his penalty area.
"Quick pass!"
Dayao was shouting.
As soon as Liu Wei hit the zero, he threw the ball to the basket from behind Li Ba's left side.
"Boom!"
Li Ba with a cold and stern face rose from the ground like a mountain flying.
"Snapped!"
Catch the ball with both hands, smash it forward, and dunk with both arms.
"boom!"
The basket trembled violently, the body swung forward, and the basket was steep.
"ah!!!!"
The super heavy dunk caused the arena to burst into cheers.
"Beautiful! The Hammer sent out a super heavy dunk at the beginning, and the Argentine basket was bombarded by heavy artillery..." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
The bench of the Chinese team was full of joy.
"Back to defense!"
Li Ba landed and let out a loud roar, preventing everyone from coming to celebrate, and led the Chinese team to run to the backcourt immediately.
Sure enough, Argentina launched a fast break.
Ginobili made a quick serve and passed from Li Ba's head to Sanchez at the top of the arc.
"Oops!"
As soon as the ball was released, he zeroed it out.
