NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 50 Five consecutive wins! The first in the group advances with all wins!

After hearing what Lin Chuan said, the official media reporter finally understood, but still felt it was a pity and continued the interview.

"At the last moment, I heard the fans cheering and shouting your name, hoping that you could get a triple-double, but you didn't play again until the end of the game. Will it leave regrets for our fans?"

"Alas, I don't think so."

Lin Chuan thought for a while and decided to follow his heart and speak properly. After organizing his words for a while, Lin Chuan leaned closer to the microphone and said,

"In fact, I think that although the statistics are important in the eyes of the fans, the victory or defeat of the game is the most important, especially in a competition like the Olympics where we win glory for our country. Winning the game is more important than anything else."

"If a player does some fancy performances just to show off or please the fans and get cheers, I think it would be better for him to play street basketball or fancy basketball. This kind of large-scale basketball event is not suitable for him."

After listening to Lin Chuan's heartfelt explanation, the Chinese official media reporters finally stopped asking questions. After simply thanking Lin Chuan, they finally let him go.

Lin Chuan then fled and ran into the locker room.

In the locker room, Lin Chuan couldn't help but be teased by his teammates.

"Brother Chuan, why don't you take two more shots? A triple-double is so cool. If I can do it, I will definitely take one."

The young Guo Ailun jumped up from his chair and looked at Lin Chuan as if he saw some rare species. He didn't understand how someone could leave him alone like that. Points are easiest to score when the player has poor stats.

If it was him, the game would have been decided anyway, so he would have to score 10 points even if he had to fight hard.

Lin Chuan patted his shoulder,

"Paying too much attention to statistics will put winning the game second! You are still young, you will understand when you grow up!"

"What do you know? Besides, Brother Chuan, you are only one year older than me!"

"And I said it's on the premise of ensuring victory in the game, brother!"

Guo Ailun followed behind Lin Chuan, who was chattering while Lin Chuan was changing clothes, and felt sorry for Lin Chuan not going to get that triple-double.

Seeing that not only the fans, but also the media and the players were so concerned about the data, Lin Chuan sighed secretly in his heart.

He finally understood why someone would wear clothes with words like "Check my data" on them...

But it’s not his fault. Anyone who is exposed to this kind of environment for a long time will care about this.

However, Lin Chuan was also feeling angry.

He doesn't care about triple-doubles or not.

Everyone cares so much about triple-doubles, even considering it more important than winning, but Lin Chuan just doesn't want to get it.

He's going to give everyone another big one in the end.

It would be better to desensitize this group of people, otherwise it will be troublesome for us.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but it would be very annoying if the media had to question you after every game about why you didn't get a triple-double because your stats were close to a triple-double.

Wang Zhizhi watched Lin Chuan and Guo Ailun chatting with envy in his eyes.

How great it would be if he could go back to his youth, grow up with them, and create history with the Chinese team...

He was once a genius who was highly expected!
Maybe there will be some explanation for attacking the United States!
After four consecutive wins in the group stage, the last game is against the host of this Olympics, the British team.

As the host, it has to be said that judging from the lineup, the British team should be the weakest team in the group.

In the entire team, the only player worth mentioning is Luol Deng. Although he made it to the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team this year, he was only a substitute.

Moreover, the East has been much weaker than the West in recent years. Because of this, facing the Chinese national team with Lin Chuan, the game was no surprise at all.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Lin Chuan repeatedly assisted his teammates and got 6 assists, and the team led by seven points with an advantage of 24:17.

Because the opponent's defense was poor and was repeatedly penetrated by Lin Chuan's passes, the British team found it increasingly difficult to keep up with the Chinese team's rhythm.

After the half, Lin Chuan scored a double-double with 11 rebounds and 13 assists, extending the score advantage to 16 points.

But just like the previous game, Lin Chuan kept delivering ammunition to his teammates, letting them be responsible for the final scoring.

He was even more excessive in this game. He took two shots in the first half, scored one goal, and caused a foul.

Only scored four points!
Even during the halftime break, the audience had already started complaining.

"With such a huge score difference, is Lin Chuan not going to play again?"

"That's right. The British team is really disappointing. As the host country, shouldn't they play hard at home? But they were beaten by the Chinese team in the first half. They are really weak."

There were also British fans at the scene who could understand Chinese. When they heard the Chinese complaining that their home team was bad and couldn't even get their star players to get a triple-double, they got angry and stepped forward to argue.

"You, say, what!"

"Philosophy is a hard country!"

"Fake!"

What started as a friendly exchange turned into an argument over profanity, causing quite a stir in the audience.

Fortunately, it happened quickly and ended quickly. The British fans did not dare to actually start a fight, and the matter ended after the staff came over to persuade them.

But I don’t know if the British team learned from their mistakes and became braver after hearing this. In the second half, they suddenly got into hot form in the third quarter when Lin Chuan was not there, and successfully narrowed the gap to only 8 points at the end of the quarter, leaving the game suspense until the end.

Lin Chuan sat on the bench for the entire third quarter. Looking at the situation on the court, he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

"It seems like you have to go, otherwise this battle will be difficult."

Guo Ailun sat aside, propping up his chin with his hand, looking at Lin Chuan with his eyes slanted.

"My plan to be lazy has failed."

"Hey!"

Lin Chuan stretched his body, patted Guo Ailun on the back, and said righteously,

"I don't mean to be lazy. I just want to give everyone a chance to play and gain more competition experience."

"You don't know how to appreciate a good person!"

Lin Chuan stood up and stretched his body aside, waiting for the substitution after the free throw.

Seeing Lin Chuan come on the court, many fans were very excited and started cheering.

Hearing everyone so happy, Lin Chuan pulled up a sly smile.

Have fun now! I'll show you my strength later!
The British players on the field were already nervous when they saw Lin Chuan coming on the field. Captain Luol Deng saw that they were a little distracted, so he clapped his hands and shouted at them,

"What are you afraid of! This is our hometown! Don't embarrass yourself in your hometown! Fight well!"

When Lin Chuan came on the court and held the ball for the first time, they became fully focused and nervous.
