Chapter 499: Reversal of Serbia

Chu Xuan has become a popular figure all over the world, and the Olympic column made a big fuss about Chu Xuan on the day of the 7th, writing a lot of legendary introductions, so that people in Brazil and even the world know that there is such a person, he has a coaching history in the NBA that can only be described as legendary, and led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships in the post-Kobe era. Then at the quadrennial Olympics, he explosively joined the historically weak Chinese team as a player, and put in an eye-catching performance against the United States in the opening game, with 11 assists that seemed to announce to the world that China can also have a top-quality playmaker.

You know, this is facing the American Dream Team, not a mixed weak team. In fact, not only Chu Xuan's performance is breathtaking, but it is also incredible that the Chinese team only lost by 23 points. It seems that the Olympics that everyone sees now is a fake Olympics, when did the Chinese team have such a level of basketball.

Of course, praise is only a compliment from some people after all, and too many people also feel that the performance of Chu Xuan and the Chinese team is just a flash in the pan. When their characteristics are thoroughly studied, then the Chinese team will be completely revealed. However, soon the Chinese team under the leadership of Chu Xuan shut up everyone, and everyone had to admit that this was a brand-new Chinese team, and it could no longer be measured by the Chinese team in the past.

In the five games of the group stage, except for the first loss to the United States, the Chinese team won all the remaining four games. In these four games, the assist king is Chu Xuan, his stable play and on-the-spot command have completely changed the Chinese team, this is not a team that can only play with height, and the outstanding tactical execution has made the Chinese team unprecedented competitiveness on the stage of this year's Olympic Games. In the fourth game, Chu Xuan was the most stable, and in addition to Chu Xuan, the other players all played well, Ding Yanyuhang scored 21 points in the second game, and the third game against Venezuela Yijian United slashed 22 points and 11 boards double-double, and in the fourth game against the hard-nosed Australian team, Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi contributed 23 rebounds and 9 blocks, and excellent defense was the main reason for the Chinese team to win. In the final game, Zhang Yang scored 7 three-pointers, contributing the highest individual score of 26 points in the Chinese team's five Olympic games.

The talent of the Chinese team, the efforts of the Chinese team, and the performance of the Chinese team are seen by the whole world, and the record of four wins and one loss allows the Chinese team to advance to the quarterfinals with the second place in the group. At this moment, no one said that it was luck, and the Chinese team deserved such a result.

"There is no doubt that Chu Xuan continues to create legendary deeds, and he is the wonder boy in the history of basketball."

"The strength of the Chinese team is not particularly strong, but their performance is definitely the best national team so far, if it can be continued, I believe that the Chinese team may be able to fight for a medal."

"From now on, every step of the Chinese team is creating history, and greatness continues to accompany Chu Xuan, and I can't find the words to describe such a phenomenon."

……

In the quarterfinals, the opponent of the Chinese team is the Lithuanian team.

The Lithuanian men's basketball team is one of the strongest basketball teams in Europe, and this team is characterized by outstanding team performance, and tactics are their greatest strength. So even without particularly top players, the Lithuanian men's basketball team is still the most threatening team. This year's Lithuanian men's basketball team is relatively weak compared to the past, but when the Chinese team faced the Lithuanian men's basketball team, Chu Xuan did not have any contempt, but he attached great importance to it. Because in Chu Xuan's view, the Chinese team does not have any capital to despise any team.

Chu Xuan's attention benefited the Chinese team a lot, and their full pre-game preparation allowed them to deal with a lot of emergencies in the game, so they also completed a big reversal when they were as much as 20 points behind, narrowly defeated the Lithuanian men's basketball team 75:72, and advanced to the semifinals for the first time in history.

When the news of the Chinese team winning the Olympic semifinals reached China, the whole country was boiling.

In fact, before the start of the Olympic Games, even with Chu Xuan and four NBA players, the Chinese side was not very sure that the Chinese team would be able to reach the top four, and their expected assumption was only the top eight. Therefore, this result is really exciting, and the Chinese team continues to play in the hot form of the group stage. In this game with the Lithuanian men's basketball team, Chu Xuan contributed 13 assists, and after this game, everyone found that he was the most fundamental reason for the qualitative change of the Chinese team. This Chinese team, Chu Xuan has become the soul in a short period of time, and defending Chu Xuan is already the next thing that the opponent must do, obviously, as long as Chu Xuan is guarded, the good chemistry of the Chinese team will be interrupted, so the Chinese team will not have much of a threat at that time.

This is the conclusion of the whole world, and defending Chu Xuan is equivalent to defending the Chinese team. As a result, unprecedented pressure began to pour into Chu Xuan, and poured into this old rookie who had only played six major competitions!

Next, the Chinese team ushered in the biggest challenge, that is, the Serbian men's basketball team!

Speaking of the Serbian men's basketball team, I have to say that it is the two most surprising teams in this Olympic Games and China. In the group stage, the Serbian men's basketball team lost to the United States team by 5 points, which shook the world for a while. In the group stage focus dialogue, the Serbian men's basketball team only lost to the Chinese team by 1 point, ranking third in the group stage. Losing to the Chinese team, it is not that the Serbian men's basketball team is inferior to the Chinese team, after all, the Chinese team lost to the United States team by 23 points in the group stage. On the contrary, the overall sense and overall strength of the Serbian men's basketball team are stronger than those of the Chinese team, and the reason why they lost in the group stage is because the players of the Chinese team are in better condition as a whole.

Now that the semi-finals are together, Chu Xuan has no certainty of winning in his heart. After all, no one can say which team will play better. However, in the pre-game mobilization, Chu Xuan still asked everyone to look at this game calmly and not put too much pressure on themselves, after all, as long as they don't have any regrets.

This year's Serbian men's basketball team has 6 players who have played in the NBA, which is a hard power that the Chinese team does not have. Moreover, Serbia's basketball concept and tactical system have been built very mature, and for the Chinese team, this is the biggest challenge except for the American team.

The two semi-finals are both focus matches, and both are considered to be two evenly matched, and the games will certainly be quite exciting. In fact, it was indeed as predicted, the game was exciting, both teams played very anxiously, and the suspense rose sharply.

In the game with Serbia, the Chinese team played very strongly in the first quarter of the game, Chu Xuan withstood the opponent's defensive pressure and assisted his teammates to score five times, allowing the Chinese team to lead the game 17:14.

But in the next two quarters of the game, Serbia relied on indomitable will to play and iron-blooded defense to successfully cut off the connection between Chu Xuan and others, and only achieved 2 assists in the two quarters, but there were 5 turnovers. This is extremely deadly, and everyone knows that the Chinese team is in the biggest predicament since the Olympic Games.

After Chu Xuan's ability to control the field was destroyed, the Chinese team fell into a situation of fighting on its own more often, which obviously could not allow the Chinese team to continue to maintain its advantage. You know, even the U.S. team, which has 12 stars, can't guarantee that it will be able to maintain its suppression of Serbia while fighting on its own.

Serbia successfully entered the final quarter of the game with an 11-point lead, which put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team, and the play on the court was a little out of rhythm. In the first minute of the final quarter, the Chinese team made two consecutive errors, and Serbia brought the difference to 15 points. It seems that everything is going to end here, the Chinese team has no possibility of winning, and the miracle of the Chinese team in this year's Olympics will end here.

In such a situation, the mentality of the players of the Chinese team has become relaxed, and the players have begun to play casually, no longer cramped and afraid of failure. In this way, the surprise game appeared, and at that moment, the miracle continued......

The first to unload the burden and find a solution to the game was Chu Xuan, he was no longer obsessed with tandem teams and organizing attacks, he began to attack with the ball like a cauldron in a boat, which had not appeared in the first six games. For a long time, everyone felt that Chu Xuan's offensive ability with the ball was poor, and this illusion also made the Serbian men's basketball team not have any preparation in this regard, and finally when Chu Xuan played on the offensive end, the Serbian men's basketball team was caught off guard!

In the middle of the final quarter and two minutes before the end, Chu Xuan scored 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 12 points, which boosted the morale of the Chinese team, and more defensive pressure was transferred, Chu Xuan occasionally took the assist teammates, so the magic happened, when there were 2 minutes left in the game, Chu Xuan took the Chinese team to narrow the difference to 3 points, and the suspense arose again.

A group of people in the Serbian men's basketball team suddenly felt that Chu Xuan in front of him was so unfamiliar, he could organize, shoot, and have good physical fitness, this was completely a comprehensive NBA star-level player. Obviously, they had to admit that because of Chu Xuan's hiding, everyone looked away.

Without preparation, the Serbian men's basketball team still has to continue to find ways and withstand the pressure.

In the 2nd minute of the decisive game, Jokic took the lead, scored with an inside hook shot, and threw 1 goal outside the three-point line to help the Serbian men's basketball team maintain its lead. However, Zhang Yang, who was 0-of-5 three-pointers in the game, became a surprise soldier, and he accepted Chu Xuan's assist and hit 2 three-pointers in a row, and the score was narrowed to 2 points.

The crucial goal, the Serbian men's basketball team made a mistake that none of them could forgive, Belica pointed out a goal that Marjanovic was about to score, and it was judged to be an interference ball, because the basketball was still on the frame at that time. This was a fatal mistake, and it undoubtedly gave the Chinese team a chance to reverse after being ruled invalid.

The Serbian men's basketball team made a historic fatal mistake, but the Chinese team played a classic offense that is destined to be remembered by history, and the tactics were interpreted to the extreme by the five young people.

No one expected him to be so bold, you know, at such a time, it is undoubtedly a wiser choice to keep 2 points than to chase 3 points. Because if they can't keep the draw, the Chinese team will lose the chance to win. After all, after this goal, Serbia had one last chance to attack. So in a situation like this, anyone would choose two points instead of risking a three. However, the most unlikely thing happened, and the bold Chu Xuan threw a three-point shot at the most critical moment.

After the basketball was gone, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

But the magic continues!

The basketball spun and fell into the basket under the incredible and unwilling gaze of the Serbian players!

Overtake the score!

Chu Xuan's ability and big heart were undoubtedly revealed in this ball, and his choice never seemed to be conservative, and a three-point shot almost ended the game, and completely wiped out the last hope of the Serbian men's basketball team.

In the last 3 seconds, the Serbian men's basketball team failed. The Chinese team won this incredible game. Chu Xuan was undoubtedly voted the best of the game, scoring 15 points in the final quarter, 22 points and 12 assists in the game, continuing to write his luxurious playmaking guard chapter.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the world's nearly 2 billion people were jubilant.

Chu Xuan was also very happy, facing reporters, he said angrily: "History is often created like this, I look forward to the last game!" ”
