After winning the game against Spain, it also means that the Chinese men's basketball team has helped China lock in a medal in advance! !
As for whether this medal is gold or silver, it depends on the result of the final battle with the dream team!
"The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Spain and helped us lock in the medal. This is a historic moment. Our medal statisticians will know the next night whether the Chinese men's basketball team added a gold medal or a silver medal to the Chinese team."
"Whether it's a gold medal or a silver medal, this is the first Olympic medal in the history of men's basketball!"
Yu Jia and Wang Fei were very excited and high-fived in celebration in front of fans across the country.
Not far away, Director Zhang burst into tears when he learned the news! !
The Chinese men's basketball team has been waiting for this moment for too long! !
In countless homes across the country, basketball fans also began to celebrate.
This is of great significance to Chinese basketball.
After the game, Zhao Chen also hugged the Gasol brothers goodbye.
"You have a chance to beat them, don't let us down." Gasol smiled.
The Dream Team is the common enemy of all teams, and Gasol naturally hopes to see the Dream Team's jokes.
"I hope you can also win the bronze medal match." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
...........
After bidding farewell to his opponent and returning to the locker room, Zhao Chen heard the system prompt.
"Dang, released the ultimate honor mission: "Lead the Chinese team to defeat the Dream Team in the Olympic finals and win the Olympic gold medal. ""
"Ultimate Honor Mission Reward: Enter the "Legendary Challenge" mode!"
"Do you want to accept the mission?"
"What is the "Legend Challenge"? ""
Zhao Chen asked questions about the system.
Except for using the hot state, Zhao Chen has not used other functions of the system for a long time.
It’s not that the system is broken, it’s just that it’s unnecessary.
Zhao Chen is already so powerful that he doesn't need to do tasks to receive rewards.
The system is not of much help to him.
The ultimate honor mission sounds cool.
This attracted Zhao Chen's curiosity.
"This task is of the highest confidentiality and will be informed after the competition. The host should be interested," the system said.
Zhao Chen and the system have a symbiotic relationship. The two have cooperated tacitly for a long time, and Zhao Chen doesn't think the system is joking.
"Then take it." Zhao Chen said.
The tasks of the system are all like this, with rewards for success and no punishment for failure.
Anyway, he was going to defeat the Dream Team, and it was just a side mission.
"The mission to receive the ultimate honor was successful..."
.....................
Zhao Chen scored 52 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks in the game against Spain.
The media and fans are accustomed to Zhao Chen being able to complete such magical data.
This is how Zhao Chen dominates the game.
After Zhao Chen's game, he also locked in a number of helpers for the Olympic men's basketball team.
Scores, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, efficiency!
That's right, Zhao Chen ranks first in basically all lists.
Even if he didn't have any data in his last game against the Dream Team, he was still number one! !
...........
After defeating Spain and locking in a medal, the Chinese men's basketball team also invested in the final preparations.
As long as it defeats the Dream Team for the second time, the Chinese team will win the gold medal.
The same goes for the Dream Team. As long as they defeat the Chinese team in the final, they can wash away the shame of embarrassing defeat in the group stage! !
In terms of public opinion, both countries are constantly building momentum for their respective national teams! !
There were even interactions between the top leaders of the two countries.
This kind of interaction puts some pressure on the Chinese men's basketball team.
The leaders of the Basketball Association kept coming to the locker room to ask whether the logistics support was in place...
Although they can't help much with playing basketball, they do have funds.
Zhao Chen was not polite and asked the leaders of the Basketball Association to prepare a full-time masseur for him.
In the past, this requirement was basically difficult to achieve because it seemed more luxurious.
But this time is different.
Zhao Chen is now a pillar of the men's basketball team.
People across the country are looking forward to watching Zhao Chen's performance in the finals.
The leaders directly assigned four masseurs to Zhao Chen, and kindly told Zhao Chen to pay attention to his health and ask him if he needed anything.
Naturally, the masseur was not there to meet Zhao Chen's special needs, but to help Zhao Chen relieve muscle tension and fatigue caused by the intense competition.
........
Soon, the decisive day arrived.
Domestic fans were the first to become excited.
"Come on, Zhao Chen, try harder!"
"Achieve greatness tonight!!"
"Come on, Zhao Chen, come on, Team China!!"
Fans of the Dream Team are also cheering on the other side of the Pacific in anticipation of the night.
They look forward to revenge!
They can't afford to lose either.
Except for fans from outside the two countries, most fans are on the side of the Chinese team. There is no way, the country represented by the Dream Team is a bit annoying.
The men's basketball finals are on the same day as the closing ceremony.
According to statistics from relevant survey agencies, more than 1.5 billion people will watch this game.
This broke the history of basketball viewership!
You know, the world's population is only 6 billion.
In China, almost all the families, old and young, come to watch the game. It is the weekend and many people have time.
So far in the Olympics, the only event in which the Chinese team has won gold medals is the Chinese men's basketball team!
All Chinese people are looking forward to the Chinese men's basketball team once again helping the Chinese team increase the number of gold medals!
Dream team locker room.
Before the game started, Coach K gave his final speech.
"Forget the previous defeat, don't be careless, tonight is our night of revenge!"
"Go and prove to everyone that you are the best team in this Olympics!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
Players on the Dream Team rarely speak out like this.
But that's it tonight, they're the Avengers!
In the locker room of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhao Chen is also giving his final speech.
"During the group stage, we already proved that they are nothing more than that!"
"They lost to us before, and they were defeated by our hands. We just need to do our job well and we can add numbers to the gold medal list!!"
"If we win tonight's game, we can tell our kids, what's the dream team? That's my team that lost."
