Chapter 61: The second highest score in Olympic history, a super triple-double
In this game, the semi-final battle between China and Argentina finally came to an end, and the winner was China!
Scola was completely beaten by Lin Chuan in this game, scoring only 12 points and 6 rebounds, and was fouled out by Lin Chuan in the fourth quarter.

Argentina's only trump card, veteran Ginobili, scored 24 points and 7 assists, but it was still difficult to hide the decline and prevent Argentina from losing.

What they need to do now is to quickly adjust their status to face the next opponent, the strongest team in Europe, Spain.

The Chinese team, on the other hand, strode to the stage of the finals with their heads held high!

"I never expected, I really never expected, that China could actually compete for the gold medal this time."

In the studio, Zhang Weiping felt a little emotional.

"In the last tournament, when Yao Ming, who was at his peak, led the team and played a close game with the runner-up Spain, I had a fantasy that in the next few tournaments, after a few talented players emerged in the national team, the Chinese team could be led to the semi-finals or even the finals."

"I didn't expect that in just four years, at the London Olympics, Lin Chuan has done it, leading the incomplete Chinese team through all the obstacles and all the way to the Olympic finals!"

"Oh my god, this is incredible! The Chinese team has made it to the Olympic finals and is going to win the gold medal!"

Su Qun's voice was trembling, and his hands were clenched into fists excitedly.

"Lin Chuan led the Chinese team to create too many miracles. They won five consecutive games in the group stage and took first place. They defeated the European powerhouse France in the quarterfinals. They also defeated Argentina, which had defeated the United States before, in the semifinals. This made the Chinese team, which only hoped to qualify from the group before the training camp, stand in front of the United States."

"Our men's basketball team can at least get a silver medal!"

"They have made history by getting here. In the hearts of countless Chinese fans, every one of them is a hero!"

"In this Olympics, facing the United States, we will definitely have a game that will go down in history."

"In this final match against the United States, I just want to say that all the young men in the men's basketball team should do their best, play to their best level, and leave no regrets this summer!"

"Every one of us fans will cheer and send our best wishes from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Director, director, please cut the data."

Zhang Weiping heard Su Qun's tone and knew that if he continued to talk, he would lose control of his emotions. He quickly called on the director to show the post-match data.

"Okay, the game is over, now let's take a look at Lin Chuan's performance!"

“全场出战37分钟，几乎打满比赛！投篮32中20，三分10中4，罚球12中10，砍下54分24篮板11助攻1抢断1盖帽的超级全能数据！”

"A super triple-double of fifty plus twenty! This is also his second triple-double in this Olympics! No one has ever been able to do this before or since!"

"54 points is also the second highest score in the history of the Olympic Games, second only to the 88 points scored by Schmidt, a player of the Brazilian team in 55. The 40 points he scored against the French team in the quarterfinals also ranked sixth in the individual single-game scoring list of the Olympic Games!"

"Including assists, the score directly related to Lin Chuan in this game is as high as 69 points! This kind of devastating performance is unbeatable even if Ginobili returns to his 04 Olympic form!"

It can be clearly seen from this Olympics that once Lin Chuan starts to exert himself and stops slacking off, his personal strength is quite terrifying and he can easily beat the teams in the quarterfinals. When facing the teams competing for medals, his teammates can also get enough shooting space because of Lin Chuan, so as long as they can run according to the tactics, they will definitely receive the ball in the predetermined open position.

Fans across China were once again shocked by Lin Chuan's performance.

From the group stage to the quarterfinals, and then to this semi-final, Lin Chuan's data rose as the game became more critical, and he maintained super high efficiency.

So far, Lin Chuan's efficiency is the best in the Olympics. Among all players averaging more than 10 points per game, Lin Chuan's hit rate is the highest, exceeding 65%! And even though he didn't shoot in the two group matches and scored in single digits, he still averaged a full 30 points per game!
From the quarterfinals to the semifinals, scoring 40+ points in two consecutive games also created history for the Chinese team in the Olympics.

He is almost a walking record destroyer.

Every game I play will break some records to a greater or lesser extent.

Moreover, Lin Chuan is a player who becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.

It seems to have become the norm that Lin Chuan performs better in more crucial games.

They are timid when facing weak teams, but they strike hard when facing strong teams.

This is Lin Chuan’s life motto!

By winning this game, the Chinese team made history by advancing to the finals!
And this time, their opponent will be the US team.

Compete with the world's number one US team for the gold medal!

During the post-match interview, reporters swarmed towards Lin Chuan and surrounded him.

"Lin Chuan, you scored a super triple-double of 54 points in this game, just one step away from the highest score in Olympic history. What do you think of your performance?"

"Lin Chuan, in this game you showed us some offensive skills we've never seen before, the European step. Is this something you've always known but kept hidden as a secret weapon, or did you use it on a whim?"

"Lin Chuan, you will face the US team here in two days. Will you feel pressured?"

Looking at the many excited Chinese reporters surrounding him, Lin Chuan smiled slightly and answered them one by one.

"I was only one point away from breaking the all-time record in this game. I didn't really pay much attention to it because Argentina was very resilient in this game and I had to fight back with more convenient means. In the second half of this game, I adjusted my opponent's defensive strategy and found that singles was the best way to help the team win, so I may have scored an unexpectedly high score in this game."

"As for the Eurostep, the fadeaway jump shot and the one-legged stand that I used in the previous game, I have always known them. There is no such thing as a sudden inspiration or hiding them. I just play basketball in a way that leads to victory. As for these offensive moves, they are just means to score. There is no need to use these techniques if you can score easily."

"I will feel pressure when facing the United States team, but I want to say that I will feel pressure when facing any game. I hope to win the game. With this expectation, I can turn the pressure into motivation. In fact, during the group stage, I had already announced my goal for this Olympics, which is to compete with the United States for the gold medal. Now, at the last step, I also want to keep winning!"

"Tomorrow is the last match. I hope I will have no regrets in this game."
