Chapter 73 Advance to the Semifinals! Upgrade" Thunder Dribble"

After halftime.

The game entered a turbulent third quarter.

The Huaxia team exploded again, and in less than 3 minutes, they scored an 11:4 climax, widening the score difference to 28 points.

The game lost its suspense.

The audience began to cheer and celebrate.

No one expected that the Chinese team would be able to show such strong dominance in the quarterfinals, and it can be said that they left the Croatian team without any chance of fighting back.

Everyone can't help but feel proud of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In a historic match, the Chinese team's performance can be said to be perfect.

In the following period of time, all you have to do is to stabilize the situation and wait for the game to end.

Although the Croatian team launched several counterattacks, they were all suppressed by Dayao and Jiang Chen.

Finally the game was over.

87:104.

The Chinese team defeated the Croatian team by 17 points and easily advanced to the semi-finals.

When the whistle sounded, the audience cheered wildly, the roar was deafening.

At the same time, the fans who were watching the game in front of the TV also began to celebrate and cheer, just like an awakened dragon roaring with joy on the land of China.

"We won! The Chinese men's basketball team played beyond expectations under the attention of hundreds of millions of fans at home and made history!"

Yang Jian said with a trembling voice, his heart filled with a huge sense of happiness.

He had waited for this victory for more than ten years.

Since he entered the commentary industry, there has been a day when he did not look forward to the Chinese men's basketball team performing well in international competitions.

Waiting year after year only results in disappointment year after year.

Now, my wish has finally come true.

What is even more exciting is that the Chinese men's basketball team created history as the host, which undoubtedly added a deeper meaning to this record.

"Not bad! The guys on this year's Chinese men's basketball team are all very good!"

"From the beginning of the game, they showed their desire and fighting spirit to win the game. It can be said that every player made his own contribution to the game."

"In the end, they united as one, fought bravely, and worked together to help the Chinese men's basketball team create history."

"But Jiang Chen and Yao Ming still showed absolute dominance."

"In the whole game, Jiang Chen made 15 of 25 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring a maximum of 39 points. Yao Ming made 13 of 20 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points and 12 rebounds, completely robbing the opponent's restricted area."

Old man Zhang Weiping also spoke excitedly, his tone full of emotion and even a hint of relief.

Yao Ming and Jiang Chen are both indispensable for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve such brilliant achievements!

During the last peak period of Yao Ming's career and when Jiang Chen was just beginning to make a name for himself, the two teamed up at the Kyoto Olympics and led the Chinese men's basketball team to win glory for the country.

The last Olympic Games were not held in China, and there was no Jiang Chen.

In the next Olympics, which will still not be held in China, Jiang Chen will become the leader of the national team, but Yao Ming will most likely not be there.

So everything is arranged just right now.

"Next, the Chinese team will compete with the Lithuanian team in the semi-finals for a place in the finals!"

"Compared with Croatia, Lithuania is a little stronger, but the playing styles of the two teams are very similar. Both rely on accurate shooting and exquisite teamwork to gain a foothold in the basketball world. At the same time, their shortcomings are both weak in the restricted area."

"So, I think the Huaxia team has a great chance of advancing to the finals!"

Yang Jian said passionately. When the hormones of excitement rushed to his head, he began to become bolder and made his own predictions very confidently.

The Chinese team has easily advanced to the semi-finals, what else is there to be afraid of?

"This prediction is correct! Under the invincible combination of Yao Ming and Jiang Chen, all the strong European opponents are paper tigers!"

Coach Zhang said excitedly, feeling a sense of pride.

The men's basketball team is like China today. It has been weak for a century and bullied by the great powers. Now that it has risen overnight, who dares to look down on it?

I believe that after this Olympics, the influence of the Chinese men's basketball team in the world will become increasingly greater.

When basketball fans from all over the world talk about the current basketball strength of various countries, the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely be included in the discussion.

On the stadium.

The players of the Chinese men's basketball team hugged each other, like heroes returning home, and enjoyed the joy of victory and the worship of the fans.

I have no regrets to have this honor in my career.

Of course they all know that this is not the end, nor is it the end of the story.

They will continue to write greater legends and strive for higher rankings.

Dayao was particularly excited. The pressure of many days was transformed into joy and released at this moment.

He once said several times in interviews that maybe if you play badly, it's not okay for others to say anything?

All Chinese fans are qualified to comment on the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although he said this, he was undoubtedly in pain inside.

As a national team athlete, he didn't even have the face to face the fans.

But now it's different.

I believe that hundreds of millions of Chinese fans will be proud of today's Chinese men's basketball team!

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the phased mission. Now I will issue you a reward. You will receive 2,000 achievement points and 600 skill fusion fragments."

Just as Jiang Chen was celebrating, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

His face lit up with joy; this reward came just in time.

After receiving this reward, his skill fusion fragments have accumulated to 2150 pieces, which is enough to upgrade a high-level skill to perfection!

"System, upgrade the [Hayama Kotaro Thunderous Dribble] skill!"

Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

He decided to upgrade this skill a long time ago.

Because after the upgrade, his strength will bring about a qualitative leap, that is, he will have the ability to break through.

He clearly remembered the description of Hayama Kotaro - "After the dribbling fingers are raised to four fingers, you can dribble past the opponent as quickly as if you disappear!"

"Congratulations to the host for the successful upgrade!"

"[Hayama Kotaro's Thunderous Dribble] skill has been upgraded to the full level, with a fusion rate of 80%.

In addition to possessing superb dribbling skills, he has gained the ability to dribble past opponents like disappearing.

The breakthrough rate varies depending on the strength of the defense, and the chance of being intercepted is 10%."

"Note: When you activate the ability to break through, you must raise your dribbling fingers to four fingers!"

The system's voice sounded, without any emotion, but it made Jiang Chen very excited.

He looked up at the Lithuanian team in the audience, his eyes sharp and his mouth slightly grinning, as if he had seen prey.

"Final Four! Here I come!"
