Chapter 56: The semi-final opponents and the indissoluble bond with the Spurs

In the quarterfinals, the Chinese team finally defeated the French team 110 by 20 points.

面对法国队，林川全场出手20次投进14球，三分3投1中，罚球12中11，砍下40分20板6助2帽。

Once again, shocking data was produced.

I don’t know if they were desensitized by Lin Chuan’s forced triple-doubles in the first two games, but after this game, not many fans felt sorry for Lin Chuan not getting a triple-double.

More people are concerned about how far this Chinese team will go under the leadership of Lin Chuan!
Could it really be like what Lin Chuan said, that they would make it to the finals and compete with the US team for the gold medal? !
From many people's disbelief before to this point, we are only one step away from winning an Olympic medal.

"Is there anyone who is playing tricks on Brother Chuan? It can only be said that some people's eyes are not good enough to see clearly Brother Chuan's strength."

"A ruthless guy who can lead the substitutes to play against the Heat's main players, do you really think he can't lead a weak team?"

"The people who barked earlier were actually some secret agents. They are just convinced now. Who knows, they may show up again when we play against the US team later."

"We can really witness history this year! Regarding Lin Chuan's performance, I can only say that mom should come out and see God soon!"

"Go! Beat the American team and win the gold medal!"

Lin Chuan in the room was looking at the messages on his phone to see what was happening in the other three groups in the quarterfinals.

The United States team scored 119 points in the game against Brazil, while Brazil only scored a pitiful 86 points and was defeated by the United States by 33 points.

James scored 14 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, getting his second triple-double in this Olympics and third in history.

"Damn it, you don't give your old teammate any respect at all, Brother Zhan..."

As he continued to look down, Lin Chuan was a little shocked.

In the third quarter, the Brazilian team didn't know what was going on. Barbosa and Nene all showed their strength, breaking through and attacking, and actually beat the Dream Team 15 0:, tying the score.

"What are you looking at, brother?"

Guo Ailun, who had just finished his meal, came back and saw Lin Chuan fiddling with his phone. He came over and saw Brazil's 15:0 attack wave at a glance. He rubbed his eyes, looking a little unbelievable.

"Fuck, they are so fierce. Fortunately, they didn't explode when fighting us, otherwise we might have lost."

"Lose ass."

Lin Chuan lightly kicked Guo Ailun.
"I'm here. How can we lose against Brazil?"

Guo Ailun covered his butt and laughed.

"Forget Brother Chuan, mine, mine."

Lin Chuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued watching the game.

After being tied, the US team became serious again. First, Durant made a three-pointer, and then Kobe, who had not scored a single point in the first half, made two three-pointers in two rounds. Anthony and James followed up and continued to widen the score.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe went all out and made four three-pointers in a row, completely defeating the Brazilian team.

After the game, Varejao ignored James and left the court, which also made the news.

"What's going on? Aren't they good brothers and former teammates?"

Guo Ailun also saw it and felt it was quite strange.

Lin Chuan opened the game highlights video and scrolled through the progress bar.
"No, see for yourself."

In the video, the time shown was 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter. James rushed to the basket. In front of the empty basket, he threw a high pass to Kobe who jumped up behind him, making an aerial relay. Then, the English-speaking commentator excitedly shouted that James had achieved the first triple-double in the history of the US team in the Olympics, and he was the first person in the US!
After watching the video, Guo Ailun looked at Lin Chuan again. The two looked at each other and fell into a strange silence.

"So this is why Valanciunas doesn't want to pay attention to him..."

Lin Chuan nodded.

"No wonder...his triple-double is so economical compared to yours, so that's what's going on."

"You can leave the field when the fight is almost over. The U.S. team is so strong that they can still fight well even if they have a few less players."

As for the other groups, Lin Chuan also took a look.

Spain played against Lithuania. The Gasol brothers were in great form and scored 48 points and 26 rebounds, blowing up Lithuania's inside line and winning the game by ten points, easily defeating Lithuania.

Argentina played against Russia. Facing the explosive performance of Yaodao, Russia's defense failed to effectively limit him and was penetrated by his special move, the serpentine breakthrough. However, thanks to Kirilenko's strong performance, the two teams fought until three minutes left in the fourth quarter and the score was still deadlocked.

And when Ginobili's output was interrupted, "Diamond" Scola could always stand up behind him and hold on to the score.

Maintain at 80:80.

However, Russia's star player Kirilenko was strong in defense but weak in offense, and ultimately their firepower could not keep up. In the end, they were hit by 7 points in a row by Argentina but were unable to respond.

In the last minute, the Russian team implemented a foul tactic, but the Argentine team's free throws were very stable and did not leave the Russians any chance. In the end, the score was 92:85, and the Argentine team narrowly defeated the Russian team by 7 points.

Russia could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat and leave the Olympics with regret.

Lin Chuan scratched his chin. He still remembered that the third and fourth places in this Olympics were Russia and Argentina, which were both very strong teams. It was a pity that because he led the team to break through Group B and changed history, the two teams met in the quarterfinals in advance and one of them was eliminated regretfully.

So our opponent is...

Lin Chuan took a look and found that the next game of the Chinese team would be against the Argentine team.

This is a legendary team led by Ginobili that once overturned the Dream Team.

"I give up. Is it my destiny to have a conflict with the Spurs?"

Lin Chuan was speechless.

From the group stage, we played against Australia with the Spurs' Mills, played against Brazil with Split, and then played against France in the quarterfinals, led by Tony Parker. Now we play against Argentina, and we have to play against Ginobili again.

Moreover, when playing against the Australian team, Yi Jianlian was injured. The Chinese team directly lost its strongest player except for him, which made their subsequent games much more difficult.

When playing against the French team, the whole team was lost in the first half. When they lost their accuracy at one point, if it weren't for Lin Chuan's fierce effort, it would not have been a matter of being ahead by more than ten points. They would have been beaten by only thirty points.

If it weren't for Lin Chuan who fought hard with the substitutes to tie the score at the end of the first half and leave the team some room for error, the Chinese team would probably have been eliminated in the quarterfinals.

I hope there won’t be any more troubles when playing against Argentina…

Lin Chuan put his hands together and began to pray in a fake manner.

"Brother Chuan, why didn't I know you had religious beliefs? Do you think you will learn this after staying in the United States for a while? Let me learn from you."

Guo Ailun moved over again to watch Lin Chuan's prayer and imitated him.

Lin Chuan opened one eye and glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Just kid yourself, go play.
