Chapter 57: Scoring the Most! The Future of Chinese Men's Basketball Team

On the stadium.

The players of the US team were celebrating their victory, with relaxed expressions and a little bit of surprise on their faces.

They also didn't expect that they would be sniped by the Chinese men's basketball team in the first game of the Olympics, and victory came so hard.

It seems that returning to the top of world basketball is not an easy task.

On the other side, the players of the Huaxia team walked back to the bench.

There was no frustration on their faces, only fatigue after the game and a little bit of excitement.

Yao Ming stood on the sidelines with a proud smile on his face, raising his hands high and high-fiving his teammates one by one.

When the score gap widened in the middle of the second quarter, he thought the Chinese team couldn't even be a shining firework.

But looking at the whole game, the Chinese team and the American team fought to the end.

These are not fireworks, they are simply burning magma.

This magma will not cool down until the game is over.

Of course, there is also a dazzling fire in the magma, that is Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's performance was astonishing and gave the Chinese men's basketball team great confidence, making them believe that they will go further in the upcoming Olympic journey.

"Brother, good job! You helped the Huaxia team hold on to the end."

When it was Jiang Chen's turn, Yao Ming gave him a big hug.

"But we still lost."

Jiang Chen said somewhat frustratedly that although he had expected this result, losing still felt very uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter. We performed well enough in this game! We have already exceeded expectations."

Dayao patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder to comfort him.

Doesn't he want to win?

But as an adult, the most important thing is to be able to accept reality.

The huge gap in strength between the two sides is like a chasm that is insurmountable and cannot be made up by a player like Jiang Chen.

"Next time I meet the United States team, I will definitely find a way to win the game!"

Jiang Chen said, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.

Dayao was stunned.

Next time?

The next time we meet the US team will be at least in the semi-finals, or even the finals.

If the Chinese team wants to meet the US team again, they have to reach that level.

Looking at Jiang Chen who was full of confidence, Dayao smiled.

If Jiang Chen can keep up this explosive performance, it is possible for him to make it to the finals!

"It's over! I'm proud of this Chinese team!"

"Although they lost the game, the strength they showed in the game has completely exceeded my expectations."

"After all, the Chinese team and the American team are not at the same level. In the previous matchup between the two teams, the Chinese team lost by an average of 48 points per game."

"But in this game, the Chinese team has been creating difficulties for the US team throughout the entire game! You know, since the Dream Team 8 was formed, few teams have been able to compete with them for a quarter and a half."

Yang Jian spoke passionately, his voice choked up, his emotions surging uncontrollably in his heart.

"In addition to the hard work of the Huaxia men's basketball team, the most important thing is Jiang Chen's explosion."

"In the whole game, Jiang Chen made 17 of 26 shots, 12 of 19 three-pointers, and scored 46 points!"

"This accounts for nearly half of the Huaxia team's total score! 12 three-pointers in a single game set a record for the men's basketball event at the Olympics!"

"There is no doubt that Jiang Chen surpassed superstars such as Wade, Kobe, and James to become the most dazzling player in the game, and even forced the US team to use double-teaming tactics to limit his performance."

"Hey, I have to say Jiang Chen really has the demeanor of a great general!"

Mr. Zhang's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't wait to start playing Jiang Chen.

"Yes! Jiang Chen played an indispensable role in the Chinese team's ability to fight the American team to the end."

"Except for Jiang Chen, no other player on the Chinese team scored more than 20 points. Even Yao Ming only scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game. The U.S. team completely killed them on offense."

"The U.S. team scored more evenly, with Kobe scoring 13 points, Howard scoring 13 points, James scoring 18 points, and Wade, who came off the bench, scoring a team-high 19 points."

Yang Jian looked at the statistics sheet and said, his tone filled with shock.

Jiang Chen's score...is really far ahead!

At this time, the comment section of the live broadcast room was completely boiling.

"46 points, Jiang's three-pointer is awesome! He always brings us surprises."

"Although we lost the game, the players of the Huaxia men's basketball team can walk out of the Wukesong Arena with their heads held high."

"We celebrate together when we win, and we fight together when we lose! I am proud of the Chinese men's basketball team."

"This No. 12 player is really awesome. Because of his heroic performance, I couldn't help but fall in love with basketball."

"Dude, why are you here if you don't know anything about basketball?"

"Humph, if you don't understand sports, you can't watch it? This is a grand event for the entire Chinese nation, and with the international superstar Yao Ming here, of course we have to come and support it! But what surprised me the most was Jiang Chen."

"To be honest, the men's basketball game is much more exciting than the national football game. It makes my blood boil, but when I watch the national football game, I just want to sleep..."

...

In Wukesong Arena.

The audience began to leave the stadium, while gathering in groups of three or four to discuss the game.

There were so many unforgettable and wonderful scenes that they couldn't help but tell the people around them about their feelings about watching the game.

Being able to see the Chinese men's basketball team play an outstanding game that makes history at home will definitely become an unforgettable memory for the fans.

Now, they can't wait to look forward to the next game of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The U.S. team and the Chinese team also left the court, returned to the locker room, and then conducted a post-match interview session.

Interview room of the Chinese team.

When hundreds of reporters saw Dayao, Jiang Chen and Jonas appear in the interview room, they pressed the shutter button and took a lot of photos.

"Yao, how do you evaluate the performance of the Huaxia team tonight?"

A reporter asked hurriedly.

"Very satisfied. I know we can play good, tough basketball."

"When I left the court, I only had one thing in mind: we finally showed what the Chinese team is really like!"

"That's enough."

Dayao said in a deep voice, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yao, you only got 13 points and 10 rebounds tonight. Is it because your injury hasn't healed yet, or is it because the U.S. team's defense made you play poorly?"

A reporter asked.

"This is my best performance. I tried my best and did everything I could."

Dayao said firmly.

"What do you think of your teammate Jiang Chen's performance?"

A reporter asked.

"Excellent! He played in his own style and showed strong offensive power."

"He is undoubtedly the strongest player on our team."

"And he is also the future of the Chinese men's basketball team!"

ps: I consulted a lot of information when writing this plot.

The author also knows that this is a fun story, so it should be written at a fast pace.

However, the author still suppressed the sense of excitement a little, trying to express the real emotions expressed by the Chinese men's basketball team and its fans in this game.

This was difficult to write, but I tried my best to express the emotions and sounds.

I believe that many basketball fans will think of this game and their feelings when watching the game when they mention the Chinese men's basketball team.

Every fan will have his or her own memory of this game.

This game is also a microcosm of the Chinese men's basketball team in that Olympics.

Now, the most difficult match is finished, and the next step is for the protagonist to completely lead the team. The next match will be so exciting!

I hope you will support me!
