Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 537 Challenge the "Dream Team"

It was thought that the Chinese men's basketball team would continue to advance by virtue of their winning streak. Unexpectedly, they lost consecutive games against Spain and the United States.

In the eight-to-four match, the Chinese men's basketball team met the Argentine men's basketball team on a narrow road. Argentina's "golden generation" with Ginobili is strong. No matter how you compare it, the Chinese men's basketball team has very little hope of advancing.

The progress of the game was just as expected before the game. Under the leadership of Ginobili, the Argentine team broke through the ball and counterattacked very sharply. The first quarter of the game was "26:16", leading the Chinese team by as many as 10 points .

In the second quarter, the Argentine team further expanded its lead. Ginobili's three-pointer and breakthrough layup were unstoppable. At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at "51:35", leading the Chinese team by 16. Points, the game seems to have no suspense.

Zhou Yu's performance in the first two quarters was mediocre, scoring only 13 points. It seems that he has not fully adapted to the rules and atmosphere of the Olympic basketball game.

Wang Fei's eyes were red, and he simply ordered the players to give it a go and fight against the Argentine team with all their strength. At the same time, he also let Zhou Yu play the spirit of daring to fight in the "Tie-break" of the NBA Finals, leading the men's basketball team out of the predicament as soon as possible.

Zhou Yu is also well aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He made two gambling-style "ultra-long three-pointers" at the beginning of the third quarter. As a result, he was lucky to make consecutive hits and stabilized the morale of the team in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong also began to show off their power, hitting mid-range shots and breakthrough layups one after another.

The Chinese team started a jedi counterattack, and the muscles and bones of the players seemed to be active all of a sudden, and tacit cooperation followed one after another.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was rewritten as "68:67", and the Chinese team was only one point behind the Argentine team.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhou Yu began to gradually take over the game by virtue of his super personal ability. It was difficult to stop the inside attack and outside mid-range shots.

As one ebbs and another, the Argentine team's shooting percentage began to decline, and unnecessary mistakes gradually increased. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Argentine men's basketball team by "89:81", an eight-point lead, and advanced to the semi-finals!
In the semi-finals, the Chinese team faced the French team. Although the French team is strong, the Chinese team, which has already opened up the "two veins of Ren and Du", is already unstoppable. The inside attack, the outside long-range shot, and the fast-break counterattack are all blooming. "86:75" defeated the French team by [-] points and broke into the Olympic men's basketball final!

This is an epic achievement for the Chinese men's basketball team. At least the silver medal has been won, achieving a breakthrough of zero medals in the history of Olympic competition.

In the Olympic men's basketball final, the opponent of the Chinese team was the extremely powerful American dream team.

Although the current American Dream Team is slightly weaker than before, it is still star-studded.

The team has top NBA stars such as Carter, Garnett, Mourning, Payton, Houston, and Ray Allen.

Before the game, various media had different opinions and opinions. Some believed that the Chinese team would definitely lose, while others believed that the Chinese team was the only team that could compete with the "Dream Team". [-]-[-].

All in all, the Olympic men's basketball finals attracted special attention and became the biggest highlight of this Olympic Games.

In the stands, members of the Chinese diving team, table tennis team, badminton team and other teams who had finished participating in the competition also came to the scene in person and played the banner of "Chinese men's basketball must win" to cheer for the men's basketball players.

Seeing the gold, silver and copper medals on their necks, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing at his teammates and joked:
"Brothers, do you see that, in the past, we only envied other people for winning gold and silver, but now we have become the envy of others."

"Yeah, Da Zhi, our relatives and friends are all gathered together and are sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast. This time our men's basketball team can finally return home with a full load."

Li Nan nodded and said excitedly.

"Brother Nan, it is inevitable to return home with a full load, but, tell me, should we return home with a full load of gold medals, or a full load of silver medals?"

Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

"Big Zhi, are you talking nonsense, of course it's good to go back to China with a gold medal, but the strength of the American 'Dream Team' is too strong, it seems that we have little hope of winning."

Li Nan couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

"Brother Nan, don't forget, we also have four NBA-level players on our team. Don't you have confidence in winning the championship?"

Zhou Yu asked back.

"Big Zhi is right, no matter whether he is a 'dream team' or not, we finally reached the final and won them, we are the 'dream team', just like the diving team and the table tennis team, become the Chinese sports team. The delegation's 'King's Division'."

Liu Yudong said in an imposing manner.

"Brother Dong said so well, we must win this game!"

Zhou Yu glanced around at his teammates, raised his arms and shouted.

"The Chinese team will win!"

Everyone was encouraged to shout loud slogans, and then started preparations.

Soon, the starting lineups of both sides will be freshly released:
The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is as follows:

Point Guard: Ah Dijiang, Shooting Guard: Zhang Jinsong, Small Forward: Li Nan, Power Forward: Liu Yudong, Center: Wang Zhizhi.

The USA Basketball starting lineup is as follows:

Point guard: Kidd, shooting guard: Ray Allen, small forward: Houston, power forward: Garnett, center: Mourning.

The members of the "Dream Team" stretched their muscles and bones while looking at Zhou Yu with burning eyes.

"Look at that boy Wang Zhizhi, who is crazy, not only won the 'three consecutive championships', but also led the Chinese team to the Olympic men's basketball final. If he wins the Olympic championship again, there will be no one in the world."

"That's right, this kid has been in the limelight recently, we must work together to teach him a lesson."

"That's right, we must make him doubt his life and let him know how powerful the 'Dream Team' is."

"..."

The opinions of the American "Dream Team" are very unified, that is, to "repair" Zhou Yu.

After the scrimmage in the middle circle, the first quarter of the competition between the two sides officially kicked off.

The U.S. team took the lead to get the ball, Kidd passed the half court with the ball, and others settled down one after another.

Although the members of the "Dream Team" held a grudge against Zhou Yu, they were not stupid. They did not attack the strong points of the Chinese team at first, but passed the ball to Garnett.

Liu Yudong, who defends Garnett, looks relatively weak, which is conducive to Garnett's full play.

Garnett was also unequivocal, and decisively hit Liu Yudong with his back. After a few turns and inward cuts, he then made a signature turn-around jumper and walked away.

In this regard, Liu Yudong can only stare blankly. All he can do is try not to let Garnett get into the penalty area and form a slam dunk.

After a crisp sound of "swish", Garnett's fadeaway jumper was successfully hit.

"2:0", the US team made a "good start".

The Chinese team then launched a counterattack. Ah's Jiang held the ball across halftime and first passed the ball to Zhou Yu who fell to the low post.

Facing the defense of the famous NBA "Iron Man" Mourning, Zhou Yu knew that he could not lose, and must open the situation from the inside.
