The quadrennial Olympics have finally begun. The Chinese national basketball team led by Li Qiang easily defeated all the teams in the group and successfully advanced as the first team in the group.
At this time, Li Qiang also won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter dash by the way, breaking the world record with a time of 7.84 seconds for a full 1.3 seconds! He also broke the men's 400m, 1500m and marathon world records and won the gold medal. Li Qiang also participated in the men's weightlifting, men's high jump, men's long jump and men's 110-meter hurdles, easily breaking the world record and winning the gold medal. Li Qiang has won eight gold medals on his own, and Li Qiang still has several events to participate in!
In the quarterfinals, the Chinese team met the Danish team. In the case of Li Qiang attracting the joint defense to open the gap, the Chinese men's basketball team still successfully advanced. Everything is under Li Qiang's control, as long as he wants to score, Li Qiang can score anytime and anywhere! Li Qiang easily got 32 points and 19 assists.
In the semifinals, China met a strong opponent, the Spanish team. Spain, but it has the strength to fight with the American Dream Team! And unlike the Dream Team's solo style, the Spanish team's joint defense is still more difficult!
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played very closely. Most of the players of the Chinese team seem to have not woken up at this time and are sleepwalking. Only Li Qiang alone supports the overall situation! Spain's offensive system has repeatedly broken through the defense of the Chinese team. And Li Qiang didn't dare to let go of the ball anymore after handing over to his teammates several times, so let's do it yourself! Use the breakthrough to hit the momentum!
Li Qiang stood three meters outside the three-point line and slowly slapped the ball, and the two Spanish players who defended him did not dare to relax in the slightest. You must know that any area within two meters of the three-point line is Li Qiang's attack range!
Suddenly, Li Qiang's dribbling speed increased. Li Qiang did a beautiful cross-over. Although the defenders were about to be stunned, they just decided that Li Qiang would continue to shoot three points! So they rushed up instead!
At this moment, Li Qiang suddenly burst into the inner line from the gap between the two players in front of him! Gasol didn't have time to react at all, Li Qiang had already jumped high, and the tiger went down the mountain, and it was a heavy buckle across Gasol!
This goal seemed to awaken the sleeping soul of the Chinese team, and the momentum of the Chinese team suddenly rose. A wave of 7:0 was played, and the score was tied at 27:27 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the momentum of the Chinese team extended the score advantage to an eight-point gap of 56:48.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team seemed to not know how to play again. The difference between the points quickly narrowed, and four minutes later, the two teams had played to a 60-all draw.
"Let the Emperor come!" This is the voice of more and more Chinese fans.
At the end of another defensive round, Gasol Jr. and Gasol Jr. played a delicate coordination on the inside with telepathy between the twins, and Gasol Jr. easily made a small throw into the basket. Spain are two points ahead.
At this time, Spain slowly began to defend back. Rest assured, the rhythm of the Chinese team is very slow, and they don't know how to play fast attack. Li Qiang received the ball in the backcourt, and without warning, suddenly accelerated like lightning!
That's 8 seconds at 100 meters!
Li Qiang instantly surpassed all the players who returned to the Spanish defense, and Gasol reacted and caught up!
It only took more than two seconds for Li Qiang to sprint to the three-point line of the opponent's half, and with the current amazing speed, Li Qiang kicked hard with his left foot on the ground!
Taking off like a big bird, Li Qiang completely stretched his body in the air, and then, re-buckled!
The audience was silent.
Yes, international basketball does not have the NBA's new free-throw line. They underestimated Li Qiang's influence, which led Li Qiang to recreate this classic dangerous move on the international stage!
After an urgent discussion by the organizing committee, this goal was finally counted as 3 points!
In the next game, Spain no longer dared to slowly return to defense.
In the second half, Li Qiang was full of firepower, and in addition to three points, he repeatedly rushed into the interior and dunked. In the end, the Chinese team, under the leadership of Li Qiang, defeated the strong rival Spain 112-105 and rushed to the Olympic basketball finals, setting an unprecedented record!
In this game, Li Qiang played almost the whole game, scoring a super triple-double of 64 points, 14 assists and 16 rebounds! Despite being tightly encircled by the opponent and defended by two or three people, Li Qiang still stood up to help the team score! Due to the different defensive rules, superstars are more limited on the international stage! Li Qiang's three-point shooting rate fell below 50% for the first time in this series. But Li Qiang fought more resolutely! Break through more inside to cause damage!
The reason why Li Qiang played so difficult, in addition to the rules, the teammates did not give a very important reason, in addition to the offensive in the second quarter, the Chinese team in the first quarter and the second half except for Li Qiang everyone's performance was unsatisfactory! In the next game, we must pay attention to this issue!
Two days later, the final match, the contest between the Chinese national team and the American Dream Team, finally began! In this game, can Li Qiang defy the sky??? Can the other players in the Chinese get out of sleepwalking???
All the media here is drawn with a big question mark.
