Chapter 383 Men’s Basketball Awards, National Attention

At the end of the game, the men's basketball team finally defeated Lithuania 84:80, with a 4-point advantage, and won the first bronze medal in the history of the men's basketball national team and the only Olympic medal.

Li Chengming played the entire second half of the game again, playing the most 37 minutes in the game. He made 13 of 23 shots, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 37 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals.

While watching the game, everyone was too excited and didn't take a closer look. They even felt that Li Chengming shot very hard today.

But once this data is listed, it is really speechless and jaw-dropping.

Especially when he posts the performance of his teammates, it makes him even more valuable.

Of course, fortunately, his teammates also stood up in the fourth quarter and gave him a helping hand.

Yoga said with emotion: "Li Chengming carried the team for more than three quarters, and finally let his teammates catch up. However, although the offensive end performance was a little worse, on the defensive end today, everyone in the men's basketball team did a great job today.

outstanding.

"Under Yunus' training, this men's basketball team seems to be very good at hiding its weaknesses on the defensive end and trying its best to release positions that the opponent is not good at. This way, even if it cannot be guarded, it can minimize the losses.

"In short, this is another victory for all members. Even Dayao contributed his towel-swinging skills..."

When I say this at this time, of course everyone smiles when they hear it.

But if he loses this game, even if Li Chengming says that he will stand up and take the responsibility for the failure, in the end someone will inevitably blame Dayao.

After all, they were not the ones injured, so there would be no psychological burden at all to say "going into battle with injuries".

If you win with an injury, it's okay, but no one will understand if you lose. On the contrary, you may be more likely to be criticized because of your poor performance. Isn't it even more worthless?

There is a clear example in this Olympics. Like Yao and Li Chengming, Liu Xiang is the top local player in this Olympics, but he is remembered in another way.

He suddenly withdrew from the first qualifying round of the 110-meter hurdles on the 18th, causing an uproar in public opinion.

In the eyes of many people, this was a gold medal that was inevitable, and Liu Xiang was very likely to defend his title at home. At least due to the rumors before the game, few people knew that Liu Xiang was injured. Instead, all kinds of advertisements about him were flying all over the place.

It also makes people feel confident in him.

Even though Liu Xiang was unable to attend the opening ceremony for some reason, which caused some speculation, no one could have imagined that he would come like this.

So it seemed as if it was natural for him to be criticized by almost the whole people, and some reasonable voices were lost in the turbulent condemnation.

Perhaps in the future, when everyone changes their minds and learns more about the inside story, they will look at this matter more rationally.

But at least for now, it is not too much to say that he has hurt the feelings of the people across the country.

If it were said before the game that he was injured, it would at least reduce a lot of negative comments. It can only be said that the team's operations are a bit confusing, or it is for profit and other reasons, regardless of the athlete's own body and even reputation.

Dayao had also experienced this feeling of being coerced before, so this time he was even more grateful to Li Chengming. After the game, he almost forgot about his injury and wanted to hug him up to celebrate - luckily he couldn't hold him...

However, there are too many surprises for the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games. So far, it is ranked first in the gold medal list, and it is very likely to continue until the end. That is, it will be able to overtake the American delegation in the gold medal list for the first time.

As for the medal list, there are too many advantageous events, and this one is really incomparable.

For many people, the bronze medal won by the men's basketball team is as valuable as an ordinary gold medal. It can even be said to be much more than that. After all, the weight of the events is different, let alone a breakthrough in history, a zero breakthrough.

meaning.

And this is even more true for domestic basketball fans.

It is completely foreseeable that there will be a basketball craze in the country in the future, not to mention surpassing football, at least it will be equally matched.

…

"I still remember that Li Chengming said before that he hopes to hear the national anthem played again when the men's basketball team receives the award..."

In the subsequent finals, the American Dream Team defeated the Spanish team as everyone expected and successfully regained their world championship after six years.

However, at the subsequent awards ceremony, the focus of everyone's attention was on the Chinese men's basketball team.

They were also the first to get on the podium. Everyone stood in a position. As the medals were distributed, their names were also read out. Everyone's expressions were a little tense, even though they thought they would be calm.

Li became famous, and the corners of his eyes became moist.

The national anthem ringing from all sides is more like a response to them. At this moment, they are the protagonists here.

Even if the Spanish team and Mengba appear later, Kobe, who once attracted the attention of the entire stadium, cannot take away the limelight of the men's basketball team.

Especially when looking at the third national flag, the five-star red flag was slowly raised. Although it was accompanied by the American national anthem, the live "March of the Volunteers" completely overshadowed the BGM.

Even if they had expectations before the game, most people never imagined that this wish would actually come true.

In particular, there were twists and turns due to Dayao's injury.

When no one had much hope, Li Chengming and his teammates still gave everyone a surprise.

So everyone couldn’t help but feel excited. Yoga sighed: “We did it. The men’s basketball team won the Olympic bronze medal. This is also the first Olympic medal in the history of the men’s basketball team. This is a historic breakthrough moment!”

For the Dream Team, winning a bronze medal is undoubtedly a shameful result, but for the Chinese men's basketball team, which has a much poorer lineup, this is already the best result in history.

You must know that they had already achieved great success in the quarterfinals before, and the semifinals were something they didn't even dare to think about.

Now I actually got a medal!

Perhaps for the national sports delegation that performed well in this Olympics and even surpassed the United States in the gold medal list, a bronze medal is nothing, but the medal itself is not much different, but the gold content between the events is vastly different.

Don't.

After all, basketball can still be regarded as a world-class sport, at least in Europe, America, and Asia, it has a good audience.

Especially when the Olympic men's football team is subject to various restrictions, the football competition in the Olympic Games has become a place for powerful countries to train their troops, and there is not enough to watch. Therefore, the most watched major football event in the Olympic Games has actually become the men's basketball game.

In this case, the Chinese men's basketball team won the bronze medal, which is simply comparable to Liu Xiang's 110 -meter column at the Athens Olympic Games before, but it is a gold medal after all, so it can only be "comparable".

But in the hearts of many people, the influence of the two pieces is similar.

So for granted, everyone in this men's basketball team also received great attention.

At the end of the game, there were many places invited them to invite them. The foreseeable future. These national players who have tears and laughter on the podium will become the hottest invitation objects in various places in China.

Of course, the hottest candidate is Li Chengming. His schedule has already been ranked until the beginning of the new season. For this reason, many schedules have to be pushed away by Li's father.
