Chapter 867 The world focuses on you!
The Chinese men's basketball team is full of energy and ready to join the Dream Team.
From coaches to players on the court to substitutes, the U.S. men's basketball team is among the best in the world in every position.
This actually gives the Chinese men's basketball team no psychological pressure.
Even if they lose to the United States, they can still get everyone's applause. If they win, they are national heroes, national heroes.
The pressure on the United States is great, especially after Kobe said, "If perfection cannot win a gold medal, then our American citizenship should be revoked."
This was originally a joke, but after it was amplified by the media, fans took it seriously.
The training atmosphere of the American men's basketball team before the game was slightly solemn. They knew that the overall strength of the Dream Ten team suppressed the Chinese men's basketball team, but the Chinese men's basketball team had Chen Yan, a guy who could create miracles.
Some members of Dream Team [-] have a psychological shadow on Chen Yan, and they are frightened by Chen Yan.
Kobe gave a mobilization speech before the game: "There is nothing to worry about. Our lineup is fully occupied. As long as we play our style, this gold medal will definitely belong to us. No accidents will happen. Chen's performance in the NBA cannot be separated from his teammates and coaches." Team, his power will be greatly reduced in the international arena, so don’t worry too much, just play and win the game!"
The players from Dream Team [-] had a normal reaction after hearing this. If they hadn't seen Chen Yan's Olympic game averages, they would have almost believed Kobe's nonsense.
The Chinese men's basketball team looked relaxed, and several veteran players even joked during training.
Chen Yan and Dayao discussed it and they felt that being too tight was not good and being too relaxed was not a good thing.
Players tend to have the mentality that even if they lose, they deserve it.
Dayao convened a pep rally for the men's basketball players the day before the game.
Dayao said: "Don't have any ideological baggage, but you must not play this game with a relaxed mentality. We must fight this game as a war. Everyone must tighten their nerves from the beginning. All of China The elders in our hometown are watching us, and we must be worthy of the national flag on our chests."
Dayao's words were very serious and heavy.
Chen Yan was the second to speak: "Yao Yao is right. We have exceeded many people's expectations at this point, but we cannot stand still because of this. Maybe we only have this opportunity in this life to fight to the end. Get this gold medal!”
Chen Yan's speech was brief, but also very inspiring.
The Chinese men's basketball players collectively responded loudly.
Various experts analyzed the men's basketball finals.
Most people think that the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team are roughly between [-] and [-].
It is already a miracle that the Chinese men's basketball team can reach the finals. It is difficult to take another step forward.
The U.S. men's basketball team is full of talents, and they are all All-Star players on the outside. They can even have the luxury of letting Kobe be a defensive specialist and not participate in the offense.
Since the start of the Olympics, Kobe has always been a key figure in defending the opposing team, and the finals will be no exception.
The last time Kobe Bryant and Chen Yan faced off in an international arena was in the 2008 men's basketball group stage.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team lost in that game, it still achieved the smallest point difference between the two teams in history. It was precisely with this momentum that the Chinese men's basketball team finally reached the semi-finals and won third place.
If the US men's basketball team uses Kobe to defend Chen Yan full-time, then Chen Yan's offense will definitely be greatly restricted.
After all, Kobe is the outside player who knows Chen Yan best in the entire NBA. It is no secret that the two are both enemies and friends and often discuss technical moves.
Kobe's advantage is his rich experience and strong willpower.
He had made up his mind before the game to fight Chen Yan to the end. Even if he didn't make a single shot tonight, he wouldn't be able to play comfortably.
Chen Yan's advantage is mobility. Chen Yan's running and jumping talents are better than Kobe's at his peak, let alone him at the end of his peak now.
Every time Kobe met Chen Yan, he would burst out with a strong desire to win, and the same was true for Chen Yan. This was a duel between strong men.
Kobe is not the only one who wants to beat Chen Yan in the US men's basketball team.
Durant's desire to win against Chen Yan was no worse than Kobe's.
The two are classmates and entered the NBA in the same year. As they are both the proud sons of heaven, it is difficult not to be compared by fans.
Durant is embarrassed by this comparison.
He never had a chance to win against Chen Yan, and he was the only one to win the honor of regular season MVP. That year, he was beaten by Chen Yan.
Durant has more or less Chen Yan phobia.
The person who is more afraid of Chen Yan than Durant is LeBron James.
James felt that Chen Yan had taken away all his honors.
Duncan's words "the future is yours" back then seem more like what he said to Chen Yan now.
Deron Williams also wants to defeat Chen Yan. The Nets were defeated by the Knicks in this year's playoffs. At that time, Chen Yan brought a sense of powerlessness to the Nets. Deron Williams still vividly remembers it now.
Paul was also unhappy with Chen Yan. When Chen Yan was in the Western Conference, Paul didn't make a single All-Star start. The two starting guards were always Chen Yan + Kobe. Paul only had a chance after Chen Yan left for the Eastern Conference.
In the NBA, some players like Chen Yan are said to have lost. After all, from the Suns to the Knicks, the teammates around Chen Yan were not bad.
But if they lose in the Olympics, these people can really retire.
Two days later, the Olympic men's basketball finals began!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this game is hard to get a ticket for. The best players in the NBA met a team composed of many NBA stars.
Everyone is looking forward to what kind of sparks there will be.
"All the best players in the NBA currently appear in this game. This is a very special Olympic men's basketball final." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Zhang Lili looked very relaxed.
Yu Jia nodded: "Based on the men's basketball training these days, I got a very important piece of information, that is, Chen Yan is in very good condition. Chen Yan's importance to the Chinese men's basketball team is self-evident. If he If the Chinese men's basketball team can perform at 100%, or perform at a super level, then the Chinese men's basketball team has hope of winning the championship."
"The U.S. men's basketball team will definitely keep a close eye on Chen Yan tonight, and the performance of others is also very important. If the outside shooter cannot shoot, then Chen Yan will be under great pressure," Zhang Liang said.
"On the defensive end, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team also have a heavy burden. They have to face the best scorers on the planet. In short, this is not Chen Yan's battle alone." Yu Jia said.
Chen Yan felt the enthusiasm of the fans from the warm-up stage, and fans kept shouting his name.
As the number one player in the NBA, Chen Yan is the idol of many basketball fans. His popularity has long surpassed that of Kobe and James, not to mention new generation stars such as Durant and Harden.
Even the cameras kept giving close-ups of Chen Yan. In this final, the eyes of the world were focused on Chen Yan.
