Olympic Gold Medal
Larry Brown, in the USA Team's rest area, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The USA Team actually got completely crushed by Li Chen's team?
At this moment, Larry Brown just wanted to slap himself hard to confirm whether this unreal scene was real or not. It was simply too fantastical.
In the final quarter of the game, Li Chen hit a pull-up three-pointer to announce that they had taken the lead over the USA Team.
Seeing the score of 81-80, the National Team players were invigorated. They had actually overtaken the USA Team, an USA Team packed with superstars!
They really couldn't believe it, yes, they really couldn't believe it. Then, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their willpower reached an unprecedented level.
This includes Yao Ming, who never dreamed that one day they could surpass the USA Team. At this moment, he was as excited as if he had taken some kind of performance-enhancing drug.
Their movement, defense, and shooting were all incredibly smooth, like martial arts masters who had unlocked their full potential.
The USA Team is on offense.
Iverson easily broke through Li Nan's defense, but his layup was disrupted by Li Chen and missed, allowing Yao Ming to grab the rebound. The USA Team's offense failed.
Yao Ming handed the basketball to Li Chen.
Li Chen once again displayed his superstar flair, quickly dribbling the ball forward and then successfully breaking through the USA Team's defense, charging into the penalty area.
Duncan, James, and others had all faced Li Chen before, and they knew how sharp his penetration was. Once he got inside, the shot would be 80% likely to go in. They didn't want to lose, so they all came to double-team him.
Li Chen stopped abruptly and jumped to shoot when no one was double-teaming him.
The basketball flew through the two players' hands, tracing a beautiful arc as it swished cleanly into the net.
83 to 80.
The USA Team is on offense.
Duncan couldn't stand it anymore, and he raised his hand to signal Iverson to pass the ball to him.
Duncan, upon receiving the ball, executed his signature 45-degree bank shot.
Thump! Swish! The basketball bounces off the backboard and goes into the basket.
83 to 82.
In the next possession, Li Chen was double-teamed by Iverson and James. This time, he didn't try to take on both of them; instead, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was open.
After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian immediately took a two-point jump shot, and the ball accurately went through the Nets.
85 to 82.
After that, the USA Team seemed to fall into a vicious cycle where the more anxious they became, the less accurate their shots became, and the score gradually widened.
Finally, Li Chen dribbled past three players and finished the game with a layup.
The National Team defeated the powerful USA Team 108-99.
At this moment, the entire stadium erupted in cheers, celebrating this miracle.
The National Team players embraced tightly, celebrating their thrilling and exciting victory.
This match will be forever etched in history, becoming a legendary story.
The commentator in the domestic live broadcast room shouted hoarsely, "Our National Team has defeated the powerful USA Team! Let me cheer for our heroes!"
Meanwhile, domestic fans were also extremely excited, some even thinking they were still dreaming. If it really was a dream, they would rather not wake up than sleep forever.
This defeat for the United States is even more humiliating than any previous one, because it means they can only compete for seventh or eighth place and won't even get a medal, making it more shameful than ever before.
In this game, Duncan, who played relatively consistently for the USA Team, scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
In this game, LeBron James, one of the "Big Three" of 2003 who was not initially given much attention, performed well and began to shine on the Olympic stage.
This is all because of Li Chen's strength; he's simply unstoppable. And the Dream USA Team's defense is weak; no one can guard Li Chen, so James got the chance to shine.
James scored 18 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds in this game.
Back in the United States, when Odom saw the dismal USA Team, he patted his chest with lingering fear, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't joined the National Team, or he would have been in serious trouble.
In the following matches, the National Team, riding the momentum of their victory over the USA Team, advanced triumphantly, first defeating Italy Team in the semifinals to advance to the finals.
Then, they met Argentina Team again in the final.
This Argentina Team lacked the momentum gained from defeating the Team USA, and their spirit and morale were noticeably lower.
Our National Team, however, was different. Not only did they have the momentum from defeating the strongest team on earth, the United States, but they also had the assistance of Li Chen, who was considered a "cheater." Although the Argentina Team performed well, they were ultimately defeated 101-89 by our National Team, which had the advantage of home ground and favorable circumstances.
When the Five-star Red Flag was raised at the Athens Olympics, the whole country was thrilled, and the men's basketball team became the pride of the entire nation.
The National Team players standing on the stage, led by Yao Ming, all had red eyes as they watched the red flag slowly rise.
The fighting spirit and teamwork of the national men's basketball team became a symbol of that era and are deeply engraved in the hearts of every Chinese person.
This historic moment for the men's basketball team is not only a victory in a sporting competition, but also a symbol of national strength and national spirit, which has had a profound impact on the development of basketball and the sports industry as a whole.
Looking at his teammates' spitting out urine, Li Chen was speechless. He thought, "Why are you acting like country bumpkins who've never seen the world? Even if you're excited, you should at least pretend to be calm! There are so many people below!"
Silver Fox Harris was also very happy because he had accomplished a feat of defeating the USA Team. Now he was wondering what kind of treatment the US Chinese Basketball Association would give him next year.
On the other side, Larry Brown is now questioning his life choices. He's had incredibly bad luck this year, losing the NBA Finals to Li Chen's Clippers.
On the international stage, he once again lost to the lousy team led by Li Chen.
That bastard Li Chen is my nemesis! I'm never happy when he's around!
After the Olympics, Li Chen received a call from Old Jack, who surprisingly didn't want to return to China, leaving Li Chen speechless.
Left with no other option, Li Chen could only ask Li Ruping to come up with a solution.
Then, on Avril's birthday, Li Chen suddenly appeared in South Korea, which surprised and delighted Avril. They then spent a sweet night Avril.
After leaving South Korea, Li Chen also began preparing for the regular season.
However, Li Chen did not return to New York first, but instead made a round trip to Los Angeles.
First, I checked on Harden and Kobe's situation, and then I went to Kobe's house.
In front of Kobe, Li Chen teased the Little Kobe for a long time. The Little Kobe and Li Chen were in sync, and he kept giggling, which made the petty Kobe very jealous.
Vanessa watched Kobe sulking to the side, then covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter shaking her head uncontrollably.
How could someone go to Kobe's house and not be beaten up by Kobe?
Then...
But this time Kobe didn't win; Li Chen defeated Kobe 3-2.
Kobe was determined to get revenge, but Li Chen refused to play with Kobe anymore, which frustrated Kobe greatly.
A moment later, the two lay on the floor, and Li Chen asked in confusion, "The Olympics, why didn't you go?"
In his view, Kobe would have participated in the Olympics if the Eagle County Incident hadn't happened.
"If I go, will you still be able to win an Olympic gold medal?" Kobe said calmly.
Hearing this, Li Chen's lips twitched. "You're just putting on an act, you think I, a cheater, would lose to you?"
Li Chen wasn't one to back down easily, so he said sarcastically, "Oh dear! Looks like it's going to be cloudy in Los Angeles, it's about to rain."
With that, he stood up and walked out of the stadium.
Kobe was somewhat confused; he genuinely didn't understand what Li Chen was trying to say.
"Hey! What do you mean by this?"
"Guess for yourself. And if you're right, don't miss the Playoffs. I'll be waiting for you in the NBA Finals."
"I said that to you too."
Upon hearing this, Kobe stopped thinking about the weather question and retorted with a cold laugh.
