Breaking the Record
In this game, Yao Ming 30 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked 5 shots.
It's worth mentioning that Yao Ming triggered the doping buff twice during this game.
Goodness, Da Yao's bewildered face was filled with a tired yet happy expression, which almost made Li Chen break down.
Okay! Okay! He admits he misunderstood.
Yi Jianlian came off the bench, also performed well, scoring 10 points and grabbing 5 rebounds.
Yi Jianlian was overjoyed after receiving praise from Li Chen.
The other players also performed well.
Li Chen played 45 minutes in this game, shooting 10-for-12, scoring 25 points, 20 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 5-for-7 from three-point range.
Although Li Chen was in good form today, he didn't choose to attack himself; he usually launches attacks when the offense stalls.
The National Team is currently ranked first in the group stage with two wins.
The third match is between the National Team and Argentina Team.
Only Li Chen knew how strong this Argentina Team was; they were the USA Team.
However, that happened after the group stage. The current Argentina Team hasn't shown its fangs yet, because in the original timeline, this Argentina Team lost to Spain National Team.
Li Chen was really looking forward to this match; he was eager to see just how strong the Argentina Team that had defeated the USA Team really was.
The two teams' first Olympic encounter dates back to 1996, when they defeated Argentina Team 87-77 to advance to the Olympic quarterfinals for the first time.
After the start of the first quarter, the National Team quickly returned to the form of the previous game, with Li Chen's 20% shooting percentage boosting his teammates' scoring.
That's how people are; as long as they have confidence, scoring is easy.
Of course, physical talent is something that cannot be compensated for, but Li Chen's 20% shooting percentage can completely make up for this deficiency.
Because Li Chen is there, no one can defend him one-on-one, so whenever a teammate is open, Li Chen will pass the ball to them.
As Silver Fox Harris watched Li Chen pass the ball without looking, his eyelids twitched. Holy crap, this kid is practically Magic Johnson 2.0!
Moreover, 70% of his passes result in points, which is truly terrifying efficiency.
What puzzled this legendary American coach even more was that Li Chen seemed to be able to score whenever he wanted.
Although this absurd and bizarre idea surprised him somewhat, the confidence emanating from Li Chen unconsciously gave him this strange feeling.
"You're a truly amazing kid," Silver Fox Harris pushed up his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips. At that moment, he felt that with Li Chen around, getting paid couldn't be easier.
He figured even his own wife could lead the team to good results. At this point, Silver Fox Harris was already letting his thoughts wander.
In the first quarter, the National Team led 25-18.
In the second quarter, Argentina Team tightened their defense, but Li Chen was a stamina monster and didn't need to rest at all.
So Li Chen's passing on the court allowed his teammates, who were considered "useless," to maintain their strong scoring momentum, giving them a 44-37 lead at halftime.
Li Chen is very satisfied with the current result. Even CBA players can perform well with his constant ball feeding, let alone NBA players.
But here's the question: who is he going to groom to sabotage Morey?
Wait, Morey also graduated from MIT, just like me, I just didn't go.
Wait a minute, am I getting a bit off-topic? Li Chen thought helplessly.
As his thoughts wandered, Li Chen thought of a very suitable candidate: JR Smith, who had played ghost games one after another.
As for why I thought of this erratic surgeon...
The reason is his unpredictable, almost erratic, nature, which is remarkably similar to a stimulant buff. So he had a wild idea: could the two create some kind of synergistic effect?
If a real chemical reaction occurs, then this kid will be amazing. With my help, he'll definitely become a super scorer.
Hehehe! When he sends his own All-Star player to the Rockets, I wonder how interesting Morey's expression will be when Morey discovers that J. R. Smith is a complete erratic player.
It has to be said that people who excel academically have incredibly creative minds.
However, a problem remains: JR Smith, the 18th overall pick, is a key player. It's uncertain whether the Knicks can secure him.
Just as Li Chen was plotting how to trick Morey and couldn't help but let out a wicked grin, Yao Ming, sitting next to him, asked strangely, "Li Chen, what are you grinning about?"
Li Chen was taken aback, and then he felt a little embarrassed, after all, Yao Ming was the person involved!
However, he still shook his head seriously and said, "It's nothing."
Yao Ming nodded, not asking any further questions. He was very excited because they had won three consecutive games in the group stage; how could Yao Ming not be excited?
In the second half, Li Chen made consecutive Pull-up Jumper, forcing the Argentina Team to continue double-teaming him. Whenever they tried to defend him one-on-one, Li Chen would Pull-up Jumper, and his continuous three-pointers gave the Argentina Team a headache.
So they had no choice but to surround Li Chen, even though they knew this was Li Chen's goal, they had no choice but to comply!
So Li Chen continued to feed the ball, and his teammates maintained their steady performance, widening the score gap to 10 points.
In the final quarter of the game, Argentina Team launched a furious counterattack in an attempt to catch up.
However, at the crucial moment, Li Chen stepped up again and suppressed Argentina, ultimately defeating the Argentina Team 99-72.
The National Team performed exceptionally well in this match; the players played to their full potential. Well... mainly because their cheat codes were amazing.
Those self-proclaimed National Team legends, unaware of the underlying tactics, are praising the players to the skies, even claiming they have the potential to play in the NBA. This group is displaying utter arrogance.
When Li Chen saw this report, he was speechless. He thought that unless they continued to follow him, they would be so discouraged that they would question their existence.
The top scorer for Argentina in this game was Ginobili, who scored 21 points.
Yao Ming had the best performance, scoring 28 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
Li Chen scored 18 points and had 21 assists in this game. Although Li Chen score was low, he set a record in this game.
In another game, he made all 6 of 6 shots, achieving a 100% field goal percentage, breaking the record previously held by Mag Boguesmills of Australia Team, who set the record for the highest single-game field goal percentage in Olympic history with a 75% field goal percentage (9 of 12 shots) in a women's basketball game against the USA Team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Li Chen set a new Olympic record. Although Li Chen only took 6 shots, they were not consecutive; he made them in 4 separate attempts, which is extremely difficult. Therefore, no one believes that Li Chen was deliberately trying to break the record.
In addition, Yi Jianlian also showed his talent, and Li Chen nodded secretly. There was a reason why this kid was selected by the Bucks with the 6th pick in the draft.
The National Team's phenomenal performance has left domestic fans bewildered, with some feeling that the current National Team resembles the USA Team, while the team next door is the real National Team.
