Chapter 81: Want to Throw the Tactical Board in Anger? The Olympics Are Coming to An End, And the Whole Nation Is Paying Attention to the Men's Basketball Finals

"Indeed, Jiang Chen said this to me after the group match with the United States."

"I was shocked and a little bit unbelievable at the time, but I didn't expect that in less than half a month, what Jiang Chen said would become a reality."

"We have made it to the finals and will compete with the United States for the gold medal."

As Dayao spoke, his tone changed from shock to determination, and his eyes also became resolute.

"What are your expectations for the upcoming finals?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"What other finals can there be? We have come this far, of course we have to strive for the gold medal!"

Dayao said this harshly, as if he had used up all his strength to say this.

I didn't dare to think about it before.

Now we are heading straight for the gold medal!

The reporters all gasped.

I never thought these words would come out of Yao Ming's mouth.

Yao Ming, who has always been modest and introverted, has gradually become more outspoken!

"Jonas, what do you think of Jiang Chen's optimization of the high pick-and-roll tactics? Will this bring any changes to the Huaxia team?"

The reporter asked.

"Oh! I can't describe my surprise. Jiang Chen has shown his potential as a coach!"

"This tactical optimization will bring a qualitative leap in the strength of the Chinese team."

"And Jiang Chen was born for this tactic. His three-point shooting ability greatly enhances the threat of the high pick-and-roll tactic."

"We are confident that we can compete with the United States in the final."

Jonas said excitedly, his face flushed with all his emotions.

This is the moment for the Chinese team to create history, the moment for Jiang Chen to create a miracle, and it is also the time for Jonas to move towards glory.

From a player to a coach now, he has never been truly brilliant.

To put it bluntly, the position of coach was just a job for him before.

But now, his career is going to be brilliant. It is not just a job for him, but also a accumulation of personal achievements.

I believe that after this Olympics, he will become an internationally renowned coach and will be favored by many national basketball teams.

The future is extremely bright!

The reporters nodded, fully understanding Jonas's feelings.

It can be said that Jiang Chen is his benefactor.

After asking a few more questions, the reporters concluded the post-match interview, which was full of useful information.

.....

Interview room of the Lithuanian team.

"What do you think about the loss in this game?"

A reporter asked the head coach of the Lithuanian team.

"It's hard to accept. We are the team with stronger overall strength!"

"In the first quarter, we once had a 16-point lead, which completely restricted the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team."

"But unfortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team found a way to attack. With their average defensive capabilities, they completely defeated us with their offense."

The coach of the Lithuanian team said somewhat frustratedly.

"What do you think is the reason for this? What do you think of the performance of Jiang Chen, the young player of the Chinese men's basketball team?"

A reporter asked.

"Obviously, all of this is because of Jiang Chen!"

"This young man played an incredible performance. The most surprising thing was his breakthrough ability in the game. We did not expect this at all. After all, he had not shown such ability in previous games."

"Of course, what shocked me the most was his use of high-post pick-and-roll, which completely elevated the power of this tactic to a new level."

"It can be said that the Huaxia team defeated us with the high-post pick-and-roll tactics that we are good at. This made me want to throw the tactics board in anger."

The coach of the Lithuanian team said very depressedly.

This incident will definitely make him depressed for a long time.

It was obviously in their favor to meet the Chinese team in the semi-finals. He had great confidence in leading the Lithuanian team to defeat the Chinese team and create history.

After all, the Huaxia team was a weak team with no threat before.

But who would have thought that such a team that had never made it to the semi-finals would show even stronger strength after reaching the semi-finals for the first time.

"Do you think the Chinese team has the strength to compete with the American team?"

A reporter continued to ask.

"It's a difficult question to answer. The strength of the US team is well known. They have assembled the best basketball players in the world and have shown an absolutely overwhelming strength in this Olympics."

"Before this Olympics, the Chinese team had never even made it to the semi-finals, and their best result was only the quarter-finals."

"But I want to say, don't underestimate the Chinese team. When you think you have the game under control, the Chinese team always bursts out with unexpected energy and turns the game around."

"Let's see what interesting things happen in the final."

The coach of the Lithuanian team shrugged and said, his eyes full of anticipation.

However, no matter who wins the championship in the end, it doesn't mean anything to the Lithuanian team. What they need to focus on now is the subsequent ranking battle.

Two days later, they will play against Spain to compete for the third place in this Olympics.

If we defeat the Spanish team, we will also win a bronze medal, which means the trip will be worthwhile.

...

The next day, the news that the Chinese men's basketball team had made it to the finals attracted the attention of the entire Chinese nation!

Everyone was discussing the amazing performance of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Even people who didn't usually watch basketball couldn't help but secretly search Baidu for the latest news and some basic information about the Chinese men's basketball team, and then joined their friends in the discussion.

To put it bluntly, anyone who doesn't know that the Chinese men's basketball team has made it to the finals is likely to be isolated by their friends.

Because there is no common topic!

After all, the Olympics is a national event, and the entire nation is paying attention to the situation of the Olympics.

Basketball has become the most proud and eye-catching of all the sports that China participates in.

In this final stage of the Olympics, whether the Chinese men's basketball team can win another gold medal for the country to consolidate the country's leading position in the Olympic medal table has become a matter of concern to all Chinese people.

If the much-anticipated Liu Xiang's withdrawal from the hurdles group match due to injury was the most disappointing and regrettable thing in this Olympics.

The performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympics became the most surprising thing.

Compared to the sense of honor brought by the unsuspenseful and steady wins in table tennis, diving, gymnastics and other events, the counterattack performance of the Chinese men's basketball team can better inspire the Chinese people's sense of national honor and pride!

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Chinese Olympic Games ushered in the final day of competition.

In the medal table, the Chinese team was far ahead with 48 gold medals, firmly ranking first.

The second place is the United States team.

This is also the first time in Olympic history that China has surpassed the United States in the medal table.

On that day, the last few events of the Olympic Games ushered in the final battle, among which was the men's basketball final between the Chinese team and the American team!!
