Yi Jianlian scored 19 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks, making him a perfect partner for Xie Kai.Under the excellent performance of these two men, the Chinese men's basketball team made history.
This is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has broken into the final of the Olympic men's basketball competition. Their opponent in the final will be the American Dream Team [-].
For a time, the domestic sports world was boiling.Although the Chinese men's basketball team did not win the gold medal, the major breakthrough of this kind of event is completely different from other small ball events.
Not to mention the Chinese men's basketball team, even in Asian basketball, no team has ever won a medal, or even made it to the top 4.Therefore, this breakthrough of the Chinese men's basketball team is not only a major breakthrough for the Chinese basketball world, but also a major breakthrough for the entire Asian basketball world.
Xie Kai is regarded as a god-like figure by Chinese basketball fans!In the last London Olympics, his outstanding performance has created history for the Chinese men's basketball team. Although he regretted not winning a medal in the end, he has also achieved a historical breakthrough.Unexpectedly, in this Olympics, which everyone is not optimistic about, the men's basketball team broke into the finals!
Moreover, the men's basketball team still has a chance to compete for the gold medal!
It is the Thunder's management that is as happy as the Chinese fans at the moment.They finally breathed a sigh of relief, more convinced that Xie Kai's arrival can help this team, and maybe even achieve a breakthrough in team history.
Even if the FIBA rules are different from the NBA, there are many NBA players who participated in the Olympics. Xie Kai scored 41 points against Dellavedova and showed more versatile offensive methods than before the injury, which made them more excited.
Who said the Thunder won't be good in the new season?Warriors, let's wait and see!
At 8:22 on August 2, the men's basketball final of the Rio Olympics officially started.This time the two sides are the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the American Dream Team.
This "China-US war" has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.Everyone wants to see how the Chinese men's basketball team led by Xie Kai can compete with the Dream [-] team.
This dream twelve team is not the strongest lineup that the United States can send, at least last season's regular season MVP Stephen Curry and Finals MVP LeBron James did not come.
But even so, this dream team is still star-studded, with a lineup of 12 All-Star players still proud of the Olympics.
Pre-match predictions are naturally optimistic that the dream team will win the vast majority.There are two most common views that support the Chinese men's basketball team: one is that even if it is the dream team, no one is right to thank it; second, compared to the dream team, the Chinese men's basketball team has no burden.
At the beginning of the match, unlike the previous match, Xie Kai came up with full firepower.
The dream team is proud that they didn't attack Xie Kai.But in the face of single defense, no matter who came, he accepted it without error.
Not only Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian, but also the young Chinese men's basketball players Zhao Jiwei and Ding Yanyuhang played extremely confidently and proactively.
On the contrary, the Dream Twelve team faced such an opponent with a lot of jump shots on the offensive end and a lot of strikes.
The Chinese men's basketball team took the lead.
The dream team was in a hurry, they started to increase their intensity, and after the timeout, they also started to pinch and thank.They let go of their pride and started fighting to win.
The dream team players are not familiar with FIBA rules, which is their shortcoming.But their individual abilities are too strong, so once they are pressed to play defensive counterattacks, the average team simply cannot bear it.
The Chinese men's basketball team has Xie Kai, so being pressed is not enough to be beaten all at once, but under the pressure of the opponent, the mistakes of other role players began to increase, and their physical energy was consumed.
The Dream Team also has an advantage that other teams do not have, that is, its 12 players are all All-Star players, and the gap between the strength of the main force and the rotation is extremely small.So they can maintain the strength and defensive strength of the whole court, which is not available to the other 11 teams.
This advantage may not be obvious in the first half. In the second half, when the physical fitness of the Chinese men's basketball players is severely reduced, the advantage of the dream team will come out.
The Chinese men's basketball team led by 3 quarters, but in the last quarter, their physical fitness seriously declined, and they were counterattacked by their opponents, and finally lost the game.
The Chinese men's basketball team did not create a miracle in the end. They lost to the dream team and won the silver medal.
Xie Kai performed bravely in this game. He played the whole game and scored a game-high 45 points, plus 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He almost brought down the Dream Team.
After the game, a reporter lamented: "Xie Kai's strength is a level higher than any star in the Dream Team, but the strength gap between the two teams is too large, and the Chinese men's basketball team still cannot create miracles."
Xie Kai scored 3+ in the 40 games of the knockout round. He used his super performance to let people see that he did not decline after a truce for a season. Just like his good brother Westbrook, he returned to the factory to strengthen, not Become a used car with poor performance.
Although no miracles were created, Xie Kai and his Chinese men's basketball team are still the biggest dark horses among the 12 men's basketball teams in this Olympic Games.It was they who pushed the dream team to the brink, and it was not easy for the dream team to win. They were behind most of the time. If it weren't for the physical problems of the Chinese men's basketball team, they might even lose.
Xie Kai is very satisfied with his state. It is not the fault of himself and the men's basketball team that he did not win the gold medal. They have played very well.
This is the first medal in the Olympic history of the Chinese men's basketball team. The significance of this medal is epoch-making, and many gold medals cannot match it.
After the Olympics, Xie Kai returned to China with members of the Chinese sports delegation. After a series of celebrations and fun, he returned to the United States and went to meet Westbrook at his home.
At Westbrook's house, Xie Kai didn't say anything when they met him, just hugged him.
"The Olympics are over, I watched all your games!" Westbrook said with a smile.
Xie laughed and said, "Am I qualified to be your partner now?"
Westbrook grinned: "Are you kidding me? Are you qualified? You are better than me. You will be the core of the team next season."
Xie Kai knew that Westbrook was not joking, he waved his hand: "This is your team, you are the core, I am here to help you. I am your brother, not here to fight for the boss!" He said It's also true, if you really want to be the boss, wouldn't it be nice to stay in the Grizzlies?Wouldn't it be nice to go to Kaizi to be the boss of the youth army?Wouldn't it be nice to go to the Lakers Mavericks to succeed a historical superstar?
