Chapter 463 The Unstoppable American Dream 14
As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together.

The semi-finals of this Olympic Games, whether it is the United States VS France, or China VS Spain, are enough to attract the appetite of fans all over the world.

France eliminated the United States in the World Cup last year. China was also reversed by Spain and missed the semi-finals, which became a scar in the hearts of the older generation of Chinese fans.

The confrontation between these two groups was just as planned in advance by the script.

The semi-finals are of great significance. The winner will be crowned and runner-up, and the loser may not even get a medal.

This is the meaning of the semi-finals, and it is also the reason why the semi-finals must not be lost.

The semi-finals will start in two days, and the Chinese team is also making final preparations.

Not long ago, Li Nan, who was sprayed by fans as a soft persimmon because he gave up the game with the US team, staged a big reversal at this moment and became the "Chinese basketball hero" and "the best head coach in China".

The credit of Ge Feng and Yi Jianlian is indispensable for this, it is they who explained the ins and outs of the matter very clearly.

Fans are willing to listen to Ge Feng and Yi Jianlian.

They are the pillars of Chinese basketball and a member of the Chinese men's basketball team.

They both defended Li Nan's head coach at the same time, which is more convincing than any media speculation.

The Chinese men's basketball team entered the semi-finals, allowing fans and media across the country to let go of their prejudice against the men's basketball team and work together to wish the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve even more impressive results!

At this moment, the domestic basketball atmosphere is surprisingly good, and the Chinese team is also preparing for the final match against Spain in this relaxed and pleasant environment.

Spain has also continued to conduct high-intensity training in the past two days.

It can be seen that after the Chinese team reached the semi-finals, Spain has already attracted enough attention.

In 08, the Chinese team almost beat Spain.

Now that the Chinese team has defeated Australia one after another and eliminated Argentina, even Spain, the second strongest men's basketball team in the world, feels unprecedented pressure.

The two days passed quickly. On the afternoon of August 8, when there were only two days left before the Tokyo Olympics, the semi-finals of the men's basketball team officially kicked off.

The game between the United States and France will start at 3 pm that day.

Now that the knockout rounds have been played, there are fewer and fewer teams left in the Olympics.

Players from China and Spain came to the sidelines to watch the battle.

The end of the game between the United States and France is the moment when the game between China and Spain begins.

The semi-finals attracted a lot of stars, and many famous Japanese celebrities came to the competition site.

Old-fashioned Kazuhito, Hayao Miyazaki, Masashi Kishimoto, Akira Toriyama, Maria Ozawa, Sora Aoi, etc. all attended the competition.

Before the start of the game, Gu Ban Heren came to the stage to sing to the fans his Divine Comedy, which is enough to brainwash the whole world.

"Ihave a pen. I have an apple. Apple-pen!
Ihave a pen. I have a pineapple. Pineapple-pen! Uh
Apple-pen. Pineapple-pen. Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen."
As soon as the Brainwashing Divine Comedy came out, the audience fell into wild laughter and couldn't stop.

The climax was that Maria Ozawa also came on stage in person and performed dances for Guban Renhe's magical singing.

Fans all over the world are excited.

But for any normal man, there is no one who does not know Maria Ozawa...

After the joyful opening ceremony, the game between the United States and France officially began.

However, the result of this game was quite different from what the fans imagined.

France's game was basically crushed by the US team.

97 to 45, the French team lost to the US team by 52 points, creating the largest difference in the history of the two teams.

France defeated the United States in the World Cup last year. Even in this Olympic Games, when they lost to the United States in the group stage, France did not allow the United States to expand the point difference to more than 5 points.

Fans originally believed that the strength of the French men's basketball team was infinitely close to that of the American men's basketball team, and it could even be said that the decline of the American men's basketball team is not an exaggeration.

But this game in the United States once again made the world realize the invincible American men's basketball team.

The god-killing Durant, the dream-chasing Green with all his heart, the robot Leonard, the immortal Butler, and the strategizing LeBron and Harden, they have once again proved to the world that the basketball strength of the United States is far higher than that of other countries.

Fans from countries other than the United States felt a sense of suffocation.

As long as there are basketball games in the United States, it is almost impossible for other countries to get any gold medals...

Immediately after the United States advanced to the final, it was the match between China and Spain.

China defeated France with 52 points, which really put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team and Spain.

Now, no one believes that their country can beat the United States and win the gold medal in the Olympic basketball event.

In this regard, even Spanish players are no exception.

Frustration appeared on every player's face in China and Spain.

The game is about to start, and it's not a big deal that the players are immersed in the terrible dominance of the US team.

Ge Feng needs to give the players another wave of chicken soup.

"Believe me, the U.S. victory over France is not because of how strong or unattainable the U.S. men's basketball team is.

The French team lost purely because the confidence of the French team collapsed, so they lost without any suspense.

As early as when France was drawn to the United States, French fans complained everywhere on the Internet:
It is impossible for France to eliminate the United States for two consecutive years. The French team will definitely lose to the United States and stop in the semifinals.

When the French fans and players agreed that they would stop in the semi-finals, they really had no strength to resist.

So please believe me, relax your muscles, strengthen your confidence, we can defeat all opponents and create the pinnacle.

The knockout round is no different from the group stage. In the knockout round, when we played against Argentina, we were too nervous and missed many goals that should have been scored.

Even so, we still won Argentina to get this far.

This shows that even if we don't feel good, we are still a world-class team, and we don't need to have any psychological burden at all.

Of course, if our outside touch can be better, it is not impossible to beat Spain, or even the United States!

I need your help!

Whether it's for ourselves or for the glory of the Chinese men's basketball team, show our fighting spirit and let the world take a good look at Asian basketball, can they trample on it casually? "

After the team members listened, they nodded heavily one by one.

Li Nan quietly gave Ge Feng a thumbs up.

Ge Feng's wonderful speech really missed the point of every sentence.

The United States is still the same America, and France is still the same France.

The reason why France was overwhelmingly abused by the United States was because the French team lost confidence in advancing.

The faith of France collapsed, so they were naturally rubbed on the ground by the United States.

This is a very metaphysical topic. In many cases, the true depth of a person's strength is not the level that people can see on the surface.

Confidence can turn a strong man into a beggar, and it can also turn a beggar into a strong man.

This is the greatest charm of confidence!
As long as we never lose confidence, all the results are hard to say!
