"It's just one section, hold on! We must not have Waterloo. Zhang Li Li encouraged.

"It's a little difficult physically, so you have to hold on." Sun Zhenping also encouraged.

"The U.S. team should have better physical strength, except for Garnett and Mourning, their other three positions are actually not divided into main substitutes." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Li nodded and said: "Even if it is an inside line, Da Yao has a lot of playing time, not much less than Garnett and Mourning, but their physical fitness is not as good as Garnett Mourning." Especially Da Yao, who is only twenty years old, his physical fitness has not entered the peak, and now he can't move. ”

"Persistence is victory." Sun Zhenping said.

The Dream Team 4 doesn't want to lose, starting from the Dream Team 1, the Dream Team has not lost the World Series championship, and if they lose, all of them will lose face.

So from the beginning of the final quarter, the Dream Four team launched a crazy Jedi counterattack, and everyone tried their best to attack after getting the ball.

In terms of personal ability, even if Mo Ning, who is weak and defensive, his offensive ability is stronger than that of the strong offensive and weak defense, which is the difference in strength and the bonus from physical fitness.

In the first six minutes, the U.S. team made nine offenses, successfully five of them, plus two free throws, scored 12 points, and only one turnover, and played quite well.

The Chinese team attacked 7 times in six minutes, and Da Yao, Da Zhi and Li Nan each made one mistake.

After three mistakes, Zhou Quan knew that his teammates' physical strength was gone, he stood up and took over the offense, shooting 3 of 5, 2 of 2 free throws, plus Hu Weidong made 1 of 2 shots, and the whole team scored 10 points.

At 84:94, the Chinese team still led by 10 points, and the United States team had the ball, and they called a timeout.

"Haha, their physical strength is gone, their mistakes have increased, and now the situation is in our favor. It doesn't matter if you're 10 points behind, you can get it back with one attacking wave. Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

Kenny Smith reminded: "Don't be careless, 10 points is not much, but the opponent is the Iron Fist King, if you are careless, the Chinese national team may also widen the difference to 20 points with a round of attacks." ”

Barkley glared at Smith and said angrily, "Kenny, which country are you from?" Always boost the morale of the opponent and destroy your own prestige. ”

Kenny Smith said helplessly: "Charles, I'm just reminding you not to be careless, we are the side that has always been behind.

We did play well just now, but we only chased 2 points back in six minutes, and their physical strength is really not good, but the Iron Fist King is here, and the offense will not be a big problem, and his offensive firepower alone is enough for us to drink a pot. ”

"The wolves bite the big bear to death, we are the wolves, no matter how strong the Iron Fist King is, it is a big bear." Barkley was unconvinced.

Kenny Smith pouted, the Iron Fist King is not a bear, he is a brown bear, and he is a brown bear in the prime of life, no matter how many wolves there are, they dare not challenge a well-fed and well-fed brown bear.

The Iron Fist King has not played today, and he has scored 37 points in three and a half quarters, and if he makes another effort in the second half, it is possible to make 50+ mistakes, and maybe he can break the 55-point record of Brazilian Oster in the 92 Olympic Games.

Of course, this is very unlikely, after all, there are only four minutes left.

After the timeout, the game resumes with four minutes to go.

The U.S. team fielded a lineup of Mourning, Raheem, Ray Allen, Alan Houston, and Tim Hardaway to give Garnett a breather.

The Chinese national team is on the lineup of Dazhi, Bart, Hu Weidong, Zhang Jinsong, and Zhou Quan, and Da Yao can't move, giving him two minutes of respite.

"You take care of the defense, and the offense is left to me." Before going on the field, Zhou Quan said to them.

The U.S. team serves on the sideline in the front court, and the Chinese team plays a three-two joint defense, that is, three people on the line and two people on the line.

Zhou Quan is in a high position, and can assist in the defense of various positions on the left and right, and fill in the gaps in the defensive formation of the whole team.

Raheem serves, and Houston on the left wing retreats outside the three-point line to ask for the ball.

Zhou Quan immediately moved to the left end of the free throw line, and the moment the ball was released, he had already pounced.

Alan Houston had just received the ball, Zhang Jinsong had already come up to press, and Zhou Quan had already pounced two steps away and cut off the passing line between Alan Houston and Ray Allen at the top of the arc.

Alan Houston didn't dare to deal with the Iron Fist King's bag, so he had to drop the ball to Ray Allen, and Zhou Quan immediately turned around and pounced on Ray Allen.

As soon as Ray Allen received the ball, Zhou Quan returned to the defense, and he had to pass it to Tim Hardaway on the right wing three-point line.

Hu Weidong, who was guarding the right elbow area, pounced on Tim Hardaway to create a chance for Zhou's bag.

Tim Hardaway was more head-on, and after receiving the ball, Zhou Quan's bag was almost to his side, and he did not choose to pass the ball, but attacked with the ball himself.

After a false shot, he dribbled around Hu Weidong in front of him and started to break through from the outside.

Hu Weidong turned around and chased, Zhou Quan did not continue to wrap up, but retreated to the right elbow area, blocking Tim Hardaway's breakthrough route to the penalty area, while also locking the angle of his pass to the penalty area, he could only hang the ball if he wanted to pass.

At this time, the joint defensive formation of the Chinese national team has moved to the right wing, and the penalty area is soon full of people.

"Bang!"

The jump shot missed, the basketball rebounded, and was grabbed by Zhou Quan, who rushed in.

"The most powerful restriction of the joint defense is the breakthrough ...... the outside line," Zhang said.

"Okay, Zhou Quan is getting down, and his physical fitness still looks very full. Beautiful......" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

When the offense and defense were switched, Zhou Quan changed direction continuously, killed out of the crowd, attacked the frontcourt, and when he hit the penalty area, only Ray Allen and Alan Houston were left around him.

"Brush!"

"Tick!"

The duo couldn't stop his layup, and in the double block, he scored with a pull rod and caused a foul on Ray Allen's beater.

"At the critical moment, Zhou Quan is still strong and worthy of dependence." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"Brush!"

Then Zhou Quan hit a free throw, and it became a two-plus-one.

"At 84:97, we have a 13-point lead." Zhang said reasonably.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, it's 40 minutes." Xu Jicheng said happily.

The U.S. team still played fast, so they stared at the weakness of the Chinese team's lack of physical fitness.

"Brush!"

Ray Allen fast-forwarded with the ball, and when he hit the three-point line on the left wing, he suddenly made a jumper and hit a three-pointer.

"Be careful, Zhou Quan can go to guard against Lei Allen first, don't let his hand feel out." Zhang Li immediately reminded.

The Chinese national team attacked, Zhou Quan did not follow the rhythm of the American team to play a fast attack, pressed the rhythm, came to the top of the arc, and waited until 22 seconds before suddenly pulling up and hitting a three-point shot on the head of Ray Allen.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

"Beautiful!"

Zhang Lili and the three of them shouted excitedly at the same time.

Kenny Smith shook his head and said, "From what I know of Tekken, the consistency of form in the fight is actually his strongest ability.

Even if he doesn't play well in a certain game, the lower limit is very high, and it will not be ridiculously bad, and in most games, he can play at a higher, or very high level, and even just played four consecutive 50+ games in the Western showdown with the Lakers.

So we have to be ready and for the next three minutes, Tekken will still be in very good shape. ”

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan defended Ray Allen, Alan Houston took over the offense, he passed to Mourning, who singled Bart and missed the shot.

As big as grabbing the rebound, Zhou Quan advanced to the frontcourt, the slow pace was still full, and in the 21st second, he suddenly lowered his body and made a breakthrough with all his might.

"Squeak!"

But the next moment, he slammed on the brakes.

"It's over!"

Ray Allen's feet didn't follow, and he fell directly to the floor.

Retracting his right foot and retreating beyond the three-point line, Zhou Quan shot another three-pointer, this time a big open jumper in the absolute sense.

"Brush!"

The water splashes, and the three points are in the middle.

"46 points, this is the strength, if I break out, you have to retreat, if you don't retreat, I will break out, and if I retreat, I will withdraw." Zhang Lili laughed.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Without the ability to break through with the ball that is so strong that it cannot be ignored, it is impossible to shake people." How dare Lei Allen ignore Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball? ”

"Now it's 16 points, see how the U.S. team chases?" Sun Zhenping was extremely excited.

Tomjanovic feels powerless, and there is no one up and down the league who can defend against the Iron Fist King, so what should he do?

He could only find an opportunity to switch to Kidd and Payton again, and revert to the two-point guard strategy, strengthen the outside defense, and regain his playmaking ability.

But it's useless, the U.S. team has been playing man-to-man tactics, and this defensive tactic can't prevent Zhou Quan from the outside at all, and Zhou Quan is still attacking with all his might, taking what he wants from the head of the U.S. team.

Although the U.S. team also took advantage of the weakness of the Chinese team's lack of physical fitness and declining defense, and continued to score, and the efficiency was not low, it was still not as efficient as Zhou Quan's offense, and the point difference not only did not narrow, but also expanded.

With a minute left in the game, Zhou Quan hit another three-pointer and a two-pointer, and when the game had already scored 51 points, the Chinese team had already led by 18 points, and the United States team gave up the offense and gave up the championship.

"Tick!"

The whistle blew at the end of the game, 92:107, and the Chinese team won.

"Oh roar!"

"Champion! Olympic champions, we won, we won! ”

"Hahaha, we're champions, we're Olympic champions......"

The Chinese national team cheered instantly, from the audience to the bench, from the commentary seat to the rostrum on the spot, from the Chinese and international students in the gymnasium, to countless Chinese people in China, no one was unhappy and excited.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The stadium burst into applause.

"This championship, this gold medal, Zhou Quan is a great contributor." Zhang Lili said with tears in his eyes.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan played 40 minutes, 19 of 27 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, 4 of 6 three-pointers in the final quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers in the last four minutes, plus 7 of 7 free throws, the shooting rate was as high as 70.4%, including 76.5% of two-point shots.

By the way, there are 8 assists and 3 steals, 5 blocks and 3 rebounds, and his performance today is to run for the championship. ”

On the field, in addition to Zhou Quan, Liu Yudong and a group of veterans have long been in tears, and even Zhou Quan has hot eyes.

This championship gives him a completely different feeling from winning the NBA championship, no matter how high the value of the championship is, that is, his personal honor achievement, and this championship gives him a sacred feeling, closely connected with the country and more than a billion people, and the sense of honor is far greater than the NBA championship.

After some celebration, it was the ceremony of awarding the award and raising the national flag.

Samaranch personally presented the medals, smiled and said to Zhou Quan: "Zhou, will you be able to participate in the 112th Plenary Session of the Olympic Committee next year?" I would love to hear you speak for your country's bid for the Olympic Games. ”

"Definitely, Mr. Samaranch." Zhou Quan said seriously with a smile.

When the majestic March of the Volunteers sounded, the five-star red flag was raised, and the gymnasium resounded with the chorus of many people.

……

On October 2, Zhou Quan returned to the capital with the team.

Then there will be a series of celebrations, as well as an event to Xiangcheng, he attended a national celebration banquet held in the Great Hall of the People on the 4th, and other activities are on leave, he has to give himself more rest to prepare for next season.

"Lao Liu, I told you, have you thought about it? If the money is not enough, I will lend it to you first, so you don't have to rush to pay it back. I'll tell you, you won't be able to hold on to that leg for long. ”

On the 5th, he contacted Liu Yudong by phone.

"I'm afraid that the operation will be over. I've been practicing since I was a kid, I can only play basketball, and if I can't play in the future, what else can I do? Liu Yudong's tone was full of loneliness.

"So how long can you last like this?" Zhou Quan asked.

Liu Yudong was silent for a while and said: "It's so big that I'm gone, I still want to hold on for Bayi for a few more years." ”

"Okay then."

When he met a person whose will was as hard as iron, Zhou Quan couldn't persuade him again.

Zhou Quan contacted Hu Weidong again and asked, "Old Hu, how is your injury?" ”

Hu Weidong said depressedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go, after the Olympics, my injury will not be healed." ”

Zhou Quan said decisively: "Forget it, then you can stay in China and play CBA, go to the NBA, the intensity of confrontation there is far greater than that in China, 82 regular season games in a season, and your body can't play." ”

After ending the phone call with Hu Weidong, he contacted Dazhi again.

……

On October 7, the Zhou family flew to Los Angeles together, accompanied by Dazhi.

After Zhou Jun and Zeng Yu got married, they traveled around the world, and by this time they had returned to Los Angeles and rededicated themselves to their studies.

Zhou Ye returned to Seattle at the end of September, and the university had already opened.

Cousin Zhou Ling and Zhou Ye are also at Seattle University, and like Zhou Ye, they sleep at home at night and don't have to live on campus.

As late as the next day, accompanied by Roger Phillip, the Mavericks reported that Zhou Quan's family stayed in Los Angeles for two days and returned to Seattle on the afternoon of the 10th.

At this time, the NBA preseason began, and he did not participate and continued to rest at home.

"Lingling, are you still comfortable here?"

In the evening of that day, Zhou Ling and Zhou Ye went home for dinner, and Zhou Quan asked.

"Big brother, I'm fine, but I'm not used to school meals." Zhou Ling said with a grin.

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "Don't talk about you, I'm not used to it for so many years, and I don't like it at all." ”

"Hee-hee, but I only eat lunch at school, it's okay." Zhou Ling said with a smile.

"Lingling, eat quickly, I'll take you to the lake to play after eating." Zhou Ye urged.

"Uh-huh."
