Chapter 66 Winning the World Championship! The Dawn Has Come?

Coach Lao K said earnestly that he understood the Spanish team coach's approach very well.

As the head coach of a college team, he not only helps players improve their basketball skills, but also often counsels them psychologically.

After all, they are all children, and it is easy for them to have psychological problems.

Especially a talented teenager like Rubio, who has never suffered any setbacks since playing basketball since he was a child and has grown up completely in praise and applause.

Previously in European competitions, he was the absolute ace.

But now in the Olympic arena, he was beaten by Jiang Chen in his first Olympic game of his career.

This will definitely deal a huge blow to Rubio's confidence.

It's like a kid in junior high school who has always been a top student in the school and is admired by other students. But after getting into a good high school, he suddenly becomes ordinary, and is no longer noticed, becoming just like everyone else.

Many students cannot bear this kind of psychological gap and eventually fall into complete depravity.

Making a person lose confidence is more terrible than defeating him.

If the coach of the Spanish team does not replace Rubio and is abused by Jiang Chen for a few more rounds, I am afraid he will completely lose confidence...

The game goes on.

Calderon took over the responsibility of organizing the team's offense.

Although he didn't have Rubio's passing acumen, he also completed every tactic conscientiously.

Gasol and Gasol took turns to dig into the restricted area, which gave Yao Ming and Al-Farouq Aminu a hard time.

Especially Gasol Jr., who is like a strong white bear.

Yi Jianlian looked much smaller and thinner in front of him, and he couldn't hold on at all.

The brothers scored consecutively but failed to catch up with the score.

Without Rubio's close defense, Liu Wei was completely fearless of Calderon's defense and began to play his role, delivering consecutive wonderful assists.

Dayao, Zhu Fangyu and Yao Ming all got chances to shoot and scored steadily.

The two sides were engaged in a tense offensive battle.

Time is slowly passing by.

The less time, the better it is for the Chinese team.

When the fourth quarter reached about 7 minutes, the Huaxia team began to control the time.

The Spanish team became obviously anxious and stopped attacking the restricted area. Instead, they started shooting three-pointers from the outside.

Hope to catch up quickly through three-pointers.

Navarro attacked repeatedly, but all failed due to the defense of Jiang Chen [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall].

Fernandez and Calderon each made a three-pointer.

But Zhu Fangyu from the Huaxia team showed no mercy. After receiving the pass, he hit a three-pointer against the defense, showing the style of the former "No. 1 small forward in Asia."

The current "No. 1 small forward in Asia" Jiang Chen was not to be outdone, and also fired from the outside, hitting a three-pointer from beyond the range.

Still leading by 13 points.

Kill the game!

With 2 and a half minutes left in the game, the Spanish team called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and gave up the game.

Seeing this, the entire audience began to cheer wildly, and it felt like a dream.

"We are really going to win this time. It's unbelievable! The Chinese men's basketball team really won glory at home!"

"We won the World Championship! I just want to say that the Chinese men's basketball team is awesome."

"It lived up to expectations! The Chinese men's basketball team performed really well."

"This is definitely a moment that will go down in history. I am so lucky to be able to witness this great moment."

The fans were talking excitedly, some of them couldn't control their emotions and shed tears.

Winning the World Cup champion Spain team, even if it was just a group match, has made the fans proud.

No matter how far the Chinese men's basketball team can go in the subsequent games, this one game alone is enough to live up to the fans' expectations.

beep!

The whistle sounded, signaling the end of the game.

101:110.

The Chinese team defeated the Spanish team with a 9-point advantage and won the first victory in the group stage.

The audience cheered with complete abandon, as if the Chinese team had won the Olympic championship.

Many foreign fans at the scene found it hard to understand why they were so happy just because they won a group match.

They don't know what this means to the Chinese men's basketball team and all Chinese fans.

Only Chinese fans can understand the emotions involved.

"We won! The Huaxia team really did something that seemed impossible."

"All the young men in the men's basketball team are heroes of China. It is they who make the Wukesong Arena full of pride tonight."

Yu Jia said excitedly, his eyes slightly red.

As a commentator, it is such a happy feeling to see the Chinese team beat the world's top team at home.

"Unprecedented! I have never felt such mixed emotions in my heart."

"I have been watching the Chinese men's basketball team since I was a child. I have seen them lose in international competitions and get beaten by strong international teams. But I have never stopped looking forward to the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team."

"Now, I finally see the light!"

"The dawn of the Chinese men's basketball team is coming, and it will be a bright new world."

Yang Yi was full of emotions and described his feelings in delicate language, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Jiang Chen! He will lead the Chinese men's basketball team to complete its rise and become the guide to that new world."

"Look at his stats in this game! He played 35 minutes, made 18 of 26 shots, 12 of 18 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 50 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 steals. He completely dominated the game."

Yu Jia exclaimed, looking at the statistical sheet, he couldn't control his blood boiling and his emotions surging.

"Setting a record! Jiang Chen once again broke his own scoring record in the Olympics, and also broke the scoring record of Chinese players in the Olympics, and even set a single-game scoring record in basketball in the history of the Olympics."

"Not only that, the most exciting part of this game was that Jiang Chen completely restricted the performance of Navarro and Rubio, causing the backcourt combination of the Spanish team to perform poorly."

Yang Yi said excitedly, his eyes shining.

Jiang Chen's data is not only shocking.

The performance on the court was even more shocking.

Only those who have actually watched this game can know how much energy Jiang Chen showed in the game.

On the stadium.

The players of the Huaxia team were already hugging each other excitedly.

Jiang Chen was surrounded in the middle, enjoying the cheers from his teammates.

The players of the Spanish team left the court dejectedly, and only Gasol found Jiang Chen and had a brief chat with him.

Losing the first game of the group stage was a big blow to them as they were aiming to compete for the gold medal with the US Dream Team.

All the reporters focused their attention on Jiang Chen.

Without a doubt.

Jiang Chen is now not only well-known in basketball, but also a celebrity in the entire Olympic Games!
