Chapter 468 Guaranteed Silver Medal
Back from the timeout, Spain replaced the Hernandez brothers with Fernandez and Yui.

Both Fernandez and Youyi are three-pointers. According to Ge Feng's strategy during the timeout, the Chinese team should focus on defending Spain's three-pointers.

Can Spain really shoot three-pointers?
You know, the Chinese team is only 1 point ahead of Spain. As long as Spain scores a two-pointer, it is enough to win the game. If you think about it this way, the probability of Spain shooting a three-pointer is very small.

Li Nan rubbed her hands anxiously on the sidelines.

To be honest, now Li Nan feels a little guilty.

After all, the three-point defense against Spain's small lineup was proposed by Ge Feng.

As Li Nan, who has a more stable style of play, he personally prefers to defend against Spain's two points.

However, it is useless to be anxious whether to defend the opponent's two points or three points. We can only leave our fate to the result and let the result tell the world, Li Nan or Ge Feng, whose idea is right.

Scalio knows that the Chinese team has always been seeking stability, so he decided to take a gamble and bet on the three points of Fernandez, Uy or Rubio.

It's a pity that Scully's idea of ​​Luoao was completely understood by Ge Feng, and there was no chance for consecutive pick-and-rolls.

Seeing that there were only a few seconds left in the attack time, Fernandez forced a three-pointer against Zhou Qi.

The timing of the shot was not good, and he had to increase the arc of his shot.

Scario felt his eyes go dark. After all, he still made a wrong bet.

The Chinese team actually changed their style of seeking stability and frantically blocked Spain's three-pointer. Who can count on this.

Team China, you don't play by the rules! ! !

Although Fernandez threw the ball high, Zhou Qi, who had long arms, still hit the ball.

This is a crucial lore block.

The ball never flew in the direction of the basket, but fell straight into Yi Jianlian's arms.

The red light symbolizing the end of the audience time came on, Yi Jianlian wrapped his arms around, opened his mouth and roared to the sky.

Won!The Chinese team won!

Zhou Qi used the last-minute block to justify his name!
He is not as useless as the fans scolded him!
He may still need time to grow, but his talent is not bad, and his future will definitely be able to carry the sky of the Chinese men's basketball team!

When the final whistle sounded, Yi Jianlian was still holding the ball tightly, looking up at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

The substitutes huddled together, knelt on the ground and roared loudly.

Ge Feng sat down on the ground, looked at Zhou Qi with a smirk, and gave Zhou Qi a thumbs up by the way.

A hint of shyness and surprise appeared on Zhou Qi's face.

There were deafening cheers from the Chinese fans at the scene.

Not only at the scene, but at this time, on the other side of the ocean, on the land of China, tens of millions of fans cheered.

An 82-year-old fan jumped out of a wheelchair, fell to the ground weeping, convulsed, and shouted loudly: "Long live China! Long live the Communist Party of China!"

I can't imagine how many fans like this old man in China have spent their whole lives waiting for the day when the Chinese team will advance to the Olympic men's basketball finals.

Won!The Chinese team won!

The Chinese team has secured the silver medal!
Ge Feng and Zhou Qi were lifted up by the substitutes rushing to the stage and thrown into the sky to celebrate.

When the two of them were put down, Ge Feng noticed that only Yi Jianlian was still standing silently in the corner with his arms wrapped around the basketball, his head raised in a daze.

Ge Feng walked over and wanted to ask Yi Jianlian what was wrong, but he found tears streaming down the corners of Yi Jianlian's eyes.

Look up and don't let the tears fall.

What a writer said back then became Yi Jianlian's lifelong creed.

Don't bow your head, the crown will fall; don't cry, the bitch will laugh.

When the Chinese men's basketball team really made history and climbed to a level that they could not have imagined before, Yi Jianlian held back tears for more than ten years and couldn't hold back anymore.

Ge Feng patted his shoulder.

Zhou Qi also came over at this time and punched Yi Jianlian twice.

Only then did Yi Jianlian come to his senses, and hugged the two of them tightly into his arms.

Yi Jianlian doesn't talk much, and even when he was the captain, he rarely communicated with his teammates.

When the word "thank you" was squeezed out of Yi Jianlian's mouth, it sounded very blunt.

He is a person who doesn't show his feelings very well.

His time is running out.

Maybe four years later, Ge Feng and Zhou Qi will continue to join forces to climb to a higher peak, but at that time, Yi Jianlian should have announced his withdrawal from the national team and will never appear on the stage of the World Series again.

However, Yi Jianlian is still very happy. In the last years of his career, he was fortunate to create history with these outstanding young men. This is definitely the happiest moment Yi Jianlian has never imagined in his life.

After shaking hands and responding to the audience, Ge Feng led his teammates back to the locker room.

In the player tunnel, Yao Ming was already waiting for them there.

His eyes were red, and he hugged the new players of the Chinese team one by one. When he reached Ge Feng, Yao Ming said in a trembling voice, "Thank you."

Another thank you.

This is the second senior Ge Feng heard today, and said thank you to him.

Ge Feng smiled, he didn't want everyone to regard the silver medal as the ultimate goal.

"It's too early to say thank you now~~~ We still have a match to play, so thank you after we finish."

When Ge Feng said this, he took a special look at Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian pursed his lips and nodded.

Yao Ming laughed gratifiedly after hearing this: "Haha, that's right, it's too early to say thank you. I will solemnly thank you when you win the next game."

"That's right!"

From the very beginning, Ge Feng did not intend for the players to aim for the silver medal.

Perhaps after the elimination of Spain, most fans and media believe that the Chinese men's basketball team has completed the task perfectly, so no one continues to expect that they can really beat the US team in the final.

But Ge Feng didn't think so, so he didn't want Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian to have negative thoughts.

In the group stage, since China can lead the US team for as long as one quarter, it shows that the US team is not invincible.

Moreover, Spain, which can most threaten the United States, is now eliminated by China with hard power.

Since the Chinese team can beat Australia, Argentina and Spain in a row, why did they stop before the final?

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian understood what Ge Feng meant.

Seriously, the Chinese team is not the US team did it!What's there to be afraid of?

The big deal is to do it again!
Back in the locker room, the players started to celebrate wildly.

Because the Olympics doesn't even allow champagne to be brought, they can only use water instead of wine, and they are so excited all night that the bedding is wet.

After the carnival in the middle of the night, the athletes' dormitories arranged by the Olympic Sports Committee were no longer able to accommodate people.

Yao Ming paid out of his own pocket and took the players to rest in the most upscale five-star hotel nearby.

Athletes all over the world, and only athletes in the United States, can enjoy this level of treatment in a bachelor apartment.

But Chairman Yao was happy tonight, he invited all the players at his own expense, and lived in the most upscale apartment in Japan.

Since we are going to play against the US team in the final, let's fight from where we sleep.
