Chapter 166 Finals ([-])
When the final whistle blew, the substitute players on the sidelines, who had long been eager to try, rushed out and rushed towards Li Chongxiao and the others.
Yao Ming was the first to react, and hugged Li Chongxiao, smiling like an emoji.
The other teammates were running and jumping, even the players Wang Shipeng or Zhang Qingpeng didn't play in this game, they were all celebrating selflessly.
Li Chongxiao was also very excited. This was the first time he represented the national team in a competition, and he entered the finals.Regardless of whether you win or lose in the end, you can get a silver medal before.
This achievement has greatly exceeded the past honors of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, and it has also far exceeded the expectations of the fans.
At this moment, all the fans stood up, applauding all the time, expressing their love to the heroes on the field.
Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming led the team around the stadium, bowed to the fans and thanked them for their support.
At the press conference after the game, when talking about this result, Li Chongxiao said with a smile that it was finally worth the ticket money of the fans who watched the game.
Regarding the trivial matter of scoring 41 points, he played it lightly, thinking that this game was a typical team victory. Every player had completed their own tasks and put in all their efforts for the victory.
The victory does not belong to any individual, but to all the players of the Huaxia team and the fans across the country.
Amidst the peaceful voices in the interview booth, there was talk of the final, and even an optimistic reporter asked whether we have the confidence to win the US team and get a gold medal tomorrow.
Amid the roar of laughter from the audience, Li Chongxiao also smiled helplessly.No one thinks that the Huaxia team is capable of defeating the US team.He really wanted to refute, but he also knew in his heart that there was indeed a gap in strength.
Even a team composed of NBA bench players without obvious shortcomings, he has the confidence to compete with the Dream Eight team.
But now many players in this Huaxia team are far from an NBA-qualified bench player. How can they beat a group of all-stars and even superstars who are united in one goal?
"It's too early to say who will be the opponent in the final. The game over there is not over yet." Li Chongxiao said solemnly: "Maybe we have to face the Spanish team again? I look forward to my new teammates. , beat his former teammate."
The reporters present all laughed, Yao Ming was also overjoyed, and added: "I don't want to see Kobe at this point in time, let him go home early, I can reimburse him for the car fare."
In the midst of laughter, Li Chongxiao continued: "You know that I am not a person who likes to talk big. I can only tell the fans and friends that no matter who our opponent in the final is, we will go all out."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Maybe you won't see a winning game, but it must be a wonderful game!"
Everyone applauded unconsciously.In the past, no one would believe whoever said such a thing, but now everyone knows that the two in front of them have this ability.
The achievements they have made also support the promises they said.
What this game brought to Li Chongxiao was not only the satisfaction of his achievements, but also the huge domestic prestige.
In the past, many fans who hated him for not participating in the national team turned fans one after another.Posts queuing up to apologize continued from morning till night.
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, but I have never tried the frost blade. Today I will try you, it will be unfair!" This is the true portrayal of Li Chongxiao now.
Likewise, Yao Ming's reputation has gotten better.During the offseason, instead of returning to China to participate in miscellaneous competitions, but focusing on improving the big competitions, it has proved to be an effective path.
Many enthusiastic netizens have already arranged for Yi Jianlian to take a vacation next summer.
The sales of products endorsed by Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming have seen explosive growth in the past few days.
A mature fan does not necessarily buy a product specifically because of an idol, but when he needs to buy something, he will basically give priority to the endorsement of the idol.
……
The time soon came to the final day. After two days of fermentation, the game attracted widespread attention.
There are no tickets on the market at all, not even scalper tickets.Many fans paid five times or even ten times, but no one sold.
Being able to meet again in the final, not only the Huaxia team felt like a dream, but even the US team was a little surprised.
For the first time, the old coach K found the video of the match between the Huaxia team and Lithuania, and studied the reasons for their victory.
Popovich, who was watching the game together, looked very bad. Seeing Li Chongxiao's wonderful performance, D'Antoni couldn't help but look at him several times. He couldn't understand how the Spurs coach thought of letting go of this article for nothing. big fish.
Everyone knows that Li Chongxiao is very good, but in the Spurs before, with a group of excellent teammates as the backing, it is only natural that he played well.I didn't expect him to be so brilliant after leaving the Spurs.
In the match against Lithuania, although the Huaxia team's united and united attitude played a big role, in the final analysis, it was still relying on Li Chongxiao to bite the score and complete the overtake.
"Judging from this performance, this kid is no worse than Kobe!" Coach K finally came to a conclusion, and the coaching staff also agreed.
……
On the day of the final, the scene was full of gongs, drums and flags, and the audience came to the arena early, waiting for the start of the game.
It was a surprise to the majority of fans that the Huaxia team was able to break into the final, but to the players of the US team, it couldn't be more normal.
The NBA has always claimed to be the highest-level basketball league in the world. Every player selected for the US national team is an all-powerful role in the team. They have their own set of judgment methods.
Although basketball is a team sport, the mainstream of the NBA is the superstar policy.Every superstar is favored by the team and the fans. Unknowingly, there will be the idea that the superstar determines the strength of the team.
For example, Kobe doesn't think much of players with average strength, and has always asked the Lakers to pursue All-Star players.For example, James, the Cavaliers use him as the core, and when other players come over, they are all called helpers.
The Huaxia team, which has two first-team and first-defense players, is the team second only to them in the eyes of several American team players.
In fact, it can also be seen from the scores of the match that the US team played seven games, and only the game against the Huaxia team did not reach more than 30 points.
So when Li Chongxiao was warming up as usual, when he went to say hello to the coaching staff and friends, all the players of the US team responded enthusiastically.
In the first game, everyone knew his strength, and after watching him play against other national teams one after another, there was no doubt about whether he could support a team after flying solo.
