Chapter 397 Main task, reverse breakthrough?
·
Zhuan Zhu
In the locker room, the morale of the Chinese team was very low.
No one likes to lose, even when making history and reaching the Olympic semi-finals.
Under the low pressure, Chen Yan spoke first to break the calm: "Brothers! This competition is over but our Olympic journey is not over yet! We must look forward, there are still three or four finalists waiting for us! "
Chen Yan's speech is a bit like a leader.
He is the youngest and most junior in the team, but he is the most qualified player of the Chinese team to say this tonight.
If there is no Chen Yan tonight, the Chinese men's basketball team is probably slaughtered.
Dayao, who just blamed himself for falling into a foul trap, also cheered up again. He clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Chen Yan is right, it's not the time to be depressed yet, cheer up and prepare for the next game." Get ready for the competition and work hard together to reach the Olympic podium!"
As soon as Dayao's words came out, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team seemed to be resurrected, and their eyes lit up. That's right, the Olympic journey is not over yet, and they still have the chance to compete for a medal!
Although it is just a bronze medal, this is an honor that the Chinese men's basketball team could not have imagined before. You must know that the Chinese men's basketball team has never won a medal in the Olympics. If the Chinese men's basketball team can do it, it will be considered proud.
Jonas on the side is also constantly boosting morale. He is the kind of extremely dedicated head coach. Even if the last game has nothing to do with rankings, he will go all out, let alone have the opportunity to compete for an Olympic medal.
......
......
After returning to the Olympic Village, the system notification sounded in Chen Yan's mind.
"Ding! The main task has been updated: Bloom on the Olympic stage and win your first Olympic medal in your career!"
"Task reward: 50 honor points, [spiritual leader] team skills, after use, it will improve the team's fighting spirit within 3 minutes, and slightly improve the team's defensive awareness, rebounding ability, stealing ability, and blocking ability."
The rewards are very generous, and Chen Yan said that he now has another reason to compete for the Olympic bronze medal.
......
......
In the early morning of the next day, news of the men's basketball team's defeat appeared on the pages of major media.
Although they lost the semi-finals, most of the reports were positive, and they were much more tolerant of the Chinese men's basketball team than the Chinese men's football media.
After all, the Chinese men's basketball team has completed the tasks set before the start of the Olympic Games at a super level and achieved a historic breakthrough.
Not only this Olympic Games, but it is estimated that the attitudes of the media towards men’s basketball and men’s football will be very different in the next ten years. After seeing Chen Yan’s performance in this Olympic Games, fans have said that the Chinese men’s basketball team will have no worries for at least ten years, while the men’s football team will have nothing to worry about. There is still no hope in sight, and Dong Fangzhuo, the former star of hope, has no sign of rising...
Soon, three or four bronze medal opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team came out.
The Spanish team narrowly lost in the semi-finals with the Dream Eight team. The two teams will have a third- and fourth-place final on August 8.
The preparations for the Chinese men's basketball team in the past few days are mainly based on adjusting their mentality. Jonas repeatedly emphasized that the players should not have too much pressure. Chen Yan also said in an interview that they beat Spain once in the group stage. Just do what you did in the group stage again.
The reason why Chen Yan said this is not to underestimate the enemy, but to let his teammates face the opponent with more confidence. In addition to fighting for strength, the rest of competitive sports is fighting for mentality.
The time soon came to August 8, and the Wukesong Stadium was full of people!
This is the last match of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games. The fans are very enthusiastic. It would be a wonderful thing to see the Chinese team win medals at home.
Before the start of the war, Gasol also mobilized the Spanish men's basketball teammates impassionedly. The winner of this game can get a bronze medal to contribute to the medal list of the motherland, and the loser can only be ranked fourth. The difference is still very big of.
"Friends from the audience, the third and fourth finals of the Olympic men's basketball team are about to start. The two sides are the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team. The two sides have played against each other as early as the group stage. As the winner, the Chinese men's basketball team will have some psychological advantage." Director Sun Zhengping made an opening introduction at the commentary booth.
Zhang Lili, the partner on the side, nodded and said: "I hope the guys in the men's basketball team will show their style and their own characteristics. Although they beat Spain in the group stage, they must not be taken lightly. The intensity of the group stage and the knockout stage are different, so This game will definitely be more difficult!"
Zhang Li is right. The Spanish team's competitive state is obviously better than that of the group stage. They opened fire from inside and outside as soon as they came up. Gasol and Calderon hit a basket hook and a three-pointer respectively.
After the group stage, Spain has regarded the Chinese men's basketball team as an opponent of the same level, and they have tried their best from the beginning!
The lagging start did not make China too anxious.
Liu Wei took possession of the ball steadily across the half.
Yuna did not let Sun Dasheng start tonight. He can defend, but his shooting touch in recent games is really not flattering.
After halftime, Liu Wei subconsciously looked for Dayao.
Dayao was defended by Gasol. Liu Wei has always been known for his stability, and he did not risk passing to Dayao.
A lateral transfer, Liu Wei found Chen Yan.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Ah Lian near the free throw line.
Ah Lian quickly turned around after the ball, dribbled one step and then forced three steps, very resolute!
After the UAE confronted Gasol in the air, the referee blew his whistle and blew a thug foul on Gasol, and the UAE got two free throws.
"Good shot! Let's hit it like this!" Chen Yan and Ah Lian clapped and shouted.
The moment the two looked at each other, Chen Yan felt Ah Lian's murderous aura.
The UAE's performance in the previous few games was very mediocre, and it became the object of criticism from fans and the media. Under the pressure of the outside world, the UAE also held its breath. Tonight he will prove himself.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Made both free throws.
2:5.
Spanish men's basketball team attack.
Calderon moved forward with tactical gestures, and Chen Yan's defense came up just after halftime.
Chen Yan temporarily changed defensive positions with Liu Wei, and this round directly put pressure on Calderon to confront.
Calderon's basic skills are very solid, but his body is weak, and he almost lost the ball under Chen Yan's sudden pressure!
In order to get rid of Chen Yan, Calderon called a pick-and-roll, and Chen Yan swept away from the corner of the screen and directly caught up with Calderon.
In tonight's bronze medal match, Chen Yan worked very hard, as can be seen from the opening round.
Calderon's rhythm was disrupted, and the ball was rushed to Navarro.
The ball was not passed well, and Navarro was not very comfortable to catch it. After adjusting the catch, Navarro dribbled a throw and shot.
Miss!
Dayao took a step back and firmly received the defensive rebound.
After protecting the ball, Dayao passed it to Liu Wei, who protected the ball for halftime.
At the top of the three-point arc, Liu Wei stopped the ball and waited for Dayao to settle down, then passed the ball in with a lob.
Except for Chen Yan, in the Chinese team, Liu Wei is the most comfortable passing the ball to Dayao.
After catching the ball, Dayao quickly turned around and shot a jumper.
The Spanish men's basketball team didn't dare to double-team the first time, because Chen Yan pulled to the bottom corner, and Dayao has the ability to pass the ball.
"Shh!"
In a one-on-one situation, Dayao easily turned around and hit a jumper.
4:5.
Spain attacked.
Chen Yan did not choose to oppress Calderon this round.
Calderon is already mentally prepared, and using the same routine to defend him will not be effective and will waste energy.
Calderon was relieved to see that Chen Yan didn't come up. Although Chen Yan's defensive skills are not outstanding, he is very good at using his advantages to create a sense of oppression for the ball holder.
Calderon wondered if he learned this trick from Kobe in the Lakers series. After all, it is not surprising that Chen Yan even learned Kobe's elbow to learn his oppressive defense.
After calling the pick-and-roll, Calderon hands the ball to Gasol in the high post.
Pau Gasol raised his hand and hit a long two-pointer. The big man's touch is as soft as ever.
4:7.
In the next offensive round of the Chinese men's basketball team, Liu Wei passed the hand to Chen Yan after halftime.
Navarro faced Chen Yan.
Navarro is not a defensive expert, and the Spanish team does not expect him to be able to restrain Chen Yan. To prevent a player like Chen Yan, the whole team must work together.
Everyone pulled away, and Chen Yan started playing singles.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
I don't know if it was because the state was not opened at the beginning of the game. Chen Yan made a mistake when he dribbled the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and the ball fell out of his hand.
Navarro quickly rushed to grab the ball with a hungry wolf.
The moment he pounced forward, Chen Yan touched the basketball first, then turned around and passed him.
Chen Yan's combination of man and ball is so perfect that Navarro has the illusion that Chen Yan did it on purpose...
After passing Navarro, Chen Yan burst in.
But the inside line was too crowded. Dayao, Ah Lian, Jimenez, and Gasol were crowded together. Chen Yan saw that there was no breakthrough space and had an idea, and suddenly came to a second-stage acceleration.
But the direction of his acceleration is not the basket but outside the three-point line.
The fans immediately exclaimed when they saw this scene: "Chen Yan is making a reverse breakthrough?"
Navarro was very speechless. As soon as he went back to catch up with Chen Yan, he rushed out quickly. How about playing with him?
When Navarro came out again, Chen Yan had already made a three-pointer.
"Shh!"
Hit the bullseye!
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV cheered!
Chen Yan's three-point approach seems a bit crazy to fans of this era!
No one likes to lose, even when making history and reaching the Olympic semi-finals.
Under the low pressure, Chen Yan spoke first to break the calm: "Brothers! This competition is over but our Olympic journey is not over yet! We must look forward, there are still three or four finalists waiting for us! "
