Chapter 684

Because.

We have never won it before.

And similarly... in a field where we have never won a medal, there is also—the men's 110-meter hurdles.

The 21-year-old Liu Xiang was given high hopes by the whole Dragon Country this year, and everyone was optimistic that he could win a medal for the Dragon Country team.

His talent was very good, and the probability of winning a medal was very high.

Even if it was just a bronze medal, it would be a historic breakthrough for us, who were weak in the track and field arena.

Just right.

The final of the men's 110-meter hurdles was just over ten hours before the men's basketball final, at 2:40 AM on the 28th.

Liu Xiang carried the expectations of countless viewers, advanced time and time again, and finally broke into the final round of the 110-meter hurdles, living up to expectations.

And then.

In the passionate commentary of Yang Jian... the final sounded.

"The game begins, Liu Xiang's start is very smooth, he is currently in first place, no one can catch up to him!

Liu Xiang's speed is very fast.

Liu Xiang... Liu Xiang... Liu Xiang is running faster and faster, he is in an absolute leading position.

Liu Xiang... Liu Xiang... Liu Xiang won!!!

Liu Xiang created history, a black-haired, yellow-skinned Dragon Country person has become a 'World Flying Man.'

Liu Xiang created history, Liu Xiang became the Olympic men's 110-meter hurdles champion, he tied the world record with a time of 12.91 seconds.

Let us congratulate Liu Xiang for becoming a world champion and adding another gold medal to Dragon Country!!!"

A ride-alone run, passionate commentary.

Although it was only less than 13 seconds, it tugged at the hearts of all the people of Dragon Country; when Liu Xiang was the first to cross the finish line.

Everyone was boiling.

All Dragon Country people were cheering and jumping for joy!!!

This was a great moment.

However... such a great moment, August 28, 2004, might happen twice in one day, this is simply crazy!

Countless Dragon Country people cheered and shouted for Liu Xiang.

Similarly.

When the time came to 9:00 PM, half an hour before the men's basketball final between China and the United States.

All Dragon Country people were also cheering for Su Yan and Da Yao, cheering for all Dragon Country players, hoping they could win tonight.

Win the gold medal together with Liu Xiang.

Let Dragon Country have double happiness today!!!

Soon.

Amidst thousands of cheers, the warm-up ended, and the main game arrived.

The starting lineups for both sides began to take the court.

China team: Point guard: Liu Wei, Shooting guard: Su Yan, Small forward: Li Nan, Power forward: Wang Zhizhi, Center: Yao Ming.

United States team: Point guard: Marbury, Shooting guard: Wade, Small forward: LeBron, Power forward: Stoudemire, Center: Tim Duncan.

The moment the Dragon Country players took the court.

Head coach Del Harris emphasized again, "Everyone must strive for the time Su Yan and Da Yao are on the court.

Win as many points as possible.

The more the better.

The most critical thing is... no matter how many points you win, don't relax your vigilance, so that when Su Yan and Da Yao are resting, you have time to breathe.

Understand?"

Because... when the Twin Stars are resting, the United States will definitely launch a fierce attack, quickly narrowing the point spread, or even closing in.

"Understand!"

Everyone waved their fists and agreed again.

Having heard the coach say it countless times, they also attached great importance to it and treated this final very seriously.

Role players.

Not to mention playing well, at least... stay steady and don't mess around.

Phew.

Stay steady and don't screw up.

Su Yan also nodded silently; except for Da Yao, the flaws of the other players were too many, and the loopholes were too big.

The difficulty of winning this duel was no less than the finals, and to a certain extent, it was even higher than the finals.

Can't relax at all.

And... from the beginning, you have to grab the offense, preferably when the United States is not paying attention and hasn't fully gotten serious yet.

Expand the score as much as possible.

"Jump ball!"

The jump ball between Da Yao and Deng Ken.

The former "Flying Devil," if Deng Ken hadn't been injured, Da Yao might not have been able to compete with Deng Ken.

Not anymore.

"Snap!"

Da Yao tipped the basketball away first.

Wang Zhizhi caught it and decisively gave it to Su Yan, letting him lead the offense and play the first offensive possession of the men's basketball final.

"Hiss..."

Liu Wei gasped.

Looking at the "Dream Team VI" opposite, all of whom were star-level players, he was truly panicked inside; this was the stage of the finals.

Even more panicked.

Li Nan was too.

Wang Zhizhi was also panicked, but slightly better than the two of them.

Da Yao's expression was also very serious; although he wasn't panicked, he knew how powerful the opponent was and secretly told himself to be fully devoted.

Must fully exert himself.

Only then could he reduce the burden on Su Yan.

And what about Su Yan?!

He was also playing on the international stage for the first time, and it was the first Olympic men's basketball final he had ever played; wasn't he nervous?!

Not at all.

Looking at the defeated opponents opposite him, what reason did he have to be nervous?!

Left arc.

Matched up against Wade, whom he had beaten at will, he scanned the side with his peripheral vision and saw no one stepping up to double-team, concluding that the United States team was still in a very lazy state.

Decisively seized the opportunity.

"Whoosh!"

Accelerated and rushed in; the moment Wade followed to defend from the side, he applied physical contact, bumping him back several steps, and didn't continue to rush.

"Rip!"

Pull-up jumper.

Shot before Stoudemire could come up to help defend.

What?!

Under 【Intermediate Half-Distance Throw】, a near-open shot could not be missed.

"Swish!"

A clean swish.

【China 2:0 United States】.

It was Su Yan again, drawing first blood for Dragon Country, but he wasn't happy.

Su Yan's expression was even more solemn, his focus was high, and in the transition offense, he sought out LeBron and applied defensive pressure to him.

Applying it from the very first attack. **CHAPTER 686**
