Chapter 192: A Historic Breakthrough

"Yao Ming hooked his hand and hit, beautiful. Lads of the national team, just hold on for a few more minutes and you're going to have a historic moment. On the afternoon of September 28, 2000, although today is Thursday, there are still countless domestic fans waiting in front of the TV to watch the Olympic men's basketball quarterfinals between the Chinese basketball team and the Australian team, looking forward to the boys of the men's basketball team to defeat Australia and enter the top four of the Olympic Games, thus writing a new chapter in the history of Chinese basketball.

61-55, with a 6-point lead into the fourth quarter, when the main lineup of the Huaguo basketball team went off the court, the Australian team launched a crazy counterattack again, and the difference between the two teams was getting smaller and smaller, but relying on Yao Ming's continuous scores, the Huaguo basketball team always held its breath and maintained a advantage of about 2 points.

"CJ Bruton's outside shot, a 3-pointer, gave Australia the first time since the opening game." After the Australian commentator at the scene shouted out this sentence hoarsely, the atmosphere of the Olympic Basketball Stadium reached its peak in an instant, and the mentality of the Chinese basketball fans on the court also fell sharply from the peak to the valley. The Huaguo basketball team has been accustomed to being overturned in international competitions, and those who are also familiar with basketball games know that in key games, in this critical moment, both teams are holding their breath, just to see who will thank this breath first, and once this breath is gone, it is very difficult to get it back.

Coach Jiang Quan on the sidelines immediately called a timeout, and when he only played 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, he replaced all the main lineup, originally Coach Jiang Quan also wanted to let the substitute lineup play a few more minutes, so that the main players, especially Meng Xu, had a good rest, although the basketball game of the Olympics was only 40 minutes, but in the first quarter of the game, Meng Xu, who was crazy about the Australian backcourt combination, his physical strength was not enough to support the whole game, so far, Meng Xu played the whole quarter of the game in the first and third quarters, and also played about 4 minutes in the second quarter, and his 24 minutes of playing time is also the most among the players on the field in the current national team.

"Australia has overtaken the score, the national team is now in a very dangerous situation, and now it depends on whether the main squad can get the score back." In the studio hall of CCAV, Teacher Zhang Li is now more anxious than Coach Jiang Quan on the sidelines. Not only Mr. Zhang Lili, for this historical moment of the national team, countless Chinese basketball people have been waiting for decades, and today's game is also breaking the ratings record of CCAV sports events, it is said that the top leaders of several countries in Zhonghaili are also watching this game in front of the TV today.

"Director Zhang, I believe that Meng Xu will definitely be able to move the score back." After seeing Meng Xu return to the court, Su Qun is now full of confidence, in the NBA game, the Spurs have fallen into a more dangerous situation than now many times, and finally they are tenaciously moving the game back, and Meng Xu can always play a decisive role at critical moments, in the playoffs and the Lakers series, the Spurs have almost been recognized by everyone to be eliminated by the Lakers, and it is also Meng Xu's excellent play that saved the Spurs and helped the Spurs win the final championship. So after following and reporting on Meng Xu for half a season, Su Qun has developed the habit of not giving up hope to Meng Xu until the end of the game, and at this point, Su Qun is more confident than Meng Xu himself.

"Hmm." After hearing Su Qun's words, Zhang Li also regained his calm: "Sure enough, after the main players returned to the field, the main attack point of the national team was still here with Meng Xu. ”

Meng Xu held the ball near the center circle and waved to his teammates, is he ready to break through? Meng Xu started, very easily shook off Glenn Saville, who was defending himself, and shook Shaun Redhatch again, Meng Xu shot directly outside the 3-point line, and hit the shot, Meng Xu's 3 points successfully helped the national team overtake the score. ”

"This is Meng Xu, this goal just now is the best embodiment of Meng Xu's strength, worthy of a big-hearted player, worthy of the title of the king of lore." When Meng Xu's goal helped the national team overtake the score, the most excited was Mr. Zhang Lili, just an ordinary 3 points, and it was not a lore, Mr. Zhang Lili directly put on a big hat for Meng Xu as the king of lore, but for this hat, Meng Xu still deserves it, in just one season, Meng Xu's lore has been more than many players' entire career shots.

"CJ Bruton attacked with the ball, Meng Xu stepped forward to grab, CJ Bruton passed to Glenn Saville, Meng Xu, Meng Xu broke the ball again, Meng Xu launched a fast attack, hit a layup, and after scoring these two points, Meng Xu's score in this game has reached 26 points."

"Meng Xu attacked with the ball again, shook off the defense of Glenn Saville with a feint, and shot very decisively at a 45-degree angle outside the 3-point line, hitting again."

"The Australian team called a timeout, and after Meng Xu returned to the game, it took only 37 seconds to score 8 points in a row, which not only helped the national team overtake the score, but also extended the lead to 7 points, and now there are 5 minutes left before the end of the game, as long as the normal play, the Australian team basically has no chance." Compared with the excitement on Mr. Zhang Lili's face, and even some words could not be said, Su Qun seemed much calmer, after being accustomed to Meng Xu's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter in the NBA, when the national team was replaced, Su Qun saw Meng Xu's relaxed expression, and knew that as long as Meng Xu played, the national team would definitely be able to move back to the score, but he didn't expect that only 30 seconds after Meng Xu came on the court, he scored 8 points in a row, and directly forced Australia into a corner.

"Congratulations to the national basketball team, congratulations to the boys of the national team, today, just today, they have created a miracle in the history of Chinese basketball, they have opened a new chapter in the history of Chinese basketball, they have completed the grand goal that the basketball predecessors have not completed in the previous decades, congratulations to them, congratulations to them for successfully entering the final four of the Olympic Games." When there were less than 2 minutes left in the game, 85-73, and the Huaguo basketball team had already led Australia by 12 points, far away in the CCAV studio hall in Beijing, Mr. Zhang Lili stood up directly from his seat, and his excited voice trembled a little.

"We played very well in this game, every one of our players was good, but unfortunately we lost to Huaguo, we lost to the number 5 opposite, he is a great player, congratulations to Huaguo Basketball, they made history, they have such a great player."

"For CJ Bruton's performance? I don't think he's playing badly, you have to know that it's Meng who defends him, he's the best defensive player in the NBA, the best defensive player on the planet, and there's nothing embarrassing about losing to him. At the press conference after the game, although the Australian head coach was very frustrated, he still exonerated his disciples when facing reporters, and at the same time kept touting Meng Xu, his potential meaning was that he would not admit that he lost to the Huaguo team, but would only admit that his team lost to Meng Xu.

In this game, Meng Xu not only led the Huaguo basketball team to the top 4 of the Olympic Games, but also scored 36 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 7 steals, and 5 blocks of 3 doubles + 5*5 data, and this kind of data is also the first time in the history of basketball in the Olympic Games.

"Congratulations to the host for the national team milestone award."

"Congratulations to the host for the epic national team award."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many rewards for entering the semi-finals, if I can lead the national team to win the championship, wouldn't this reward be against the sky?" After the game, Meng Xu heard the system prompt in his ear, and at the same time, he was very excited and looked forward to his country's future career.
