Chapter 714 Olympic Gold Medal + MVP
Chapter 714 Olympic Gold Medal + MVP
The Dream Team once again fielded their offensive lineup.
Jia Fei volunteered to defend Durant, and when Coach Li Nan asked him if he should use the "penalty shootout tactic," he decisively shook his head.
Holiday inbounds the ball from the sidelines, and Jia Fei tightly guards Durant.
"Good heavens, Jia Fei is guarding Durant; he's trying to prevent Durant from receiving the ball!" Coach Zhang exclaimed.
The ball was served out, and it ended up in Lillard's hands!
Lillard wanted to find Durant, but Durant was being held back by Jia Fei!
The shot clock was too short, leaving little time for thought. Lillard decided to take matters into his own hands, stepping back for a three-pointer...
The ball is flying through the air, and this ball will determine the outcome of this game. If it goes in, the Dream Team wins; if it misses, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team wins!
The entire audience was on tenterhooks. The game had reached this point, it was truly amazing, both sides gave it their all, especially the Chinese men's basketball team.
The ball missed!
Almost simultaneously, the final whistle blew!
China's men's basketball team won!
Everyone on the bench rushed onto the field, including the coaching staff! They formed a circle, cheering wildly, and almost everyone cried with excitement!
Everyone truly understands how difficult and challenging this match was.
Jia Fei was so exhausted he could barely stand and collapsed to the ground. If there really was overtime, he definitely wouldn't be able to maintain this level of energy. The intensity of this game was too great; he had to shoulder both offense and defense, and the drain was simply too much.
"We've won! We've won!" Coach Zhang was as happy as a 70-year-old child...
Yu Jia excitedly commented, "This is absolutely the most glorious moment in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team! We have won the gold medal in the Olympic men's basketball competition! This is the first time we have defeated the Dream Team! The Chinese men's basketball team has won the gold medal!"
The Dream Team players' winning streak was filled with frustration, not just Durant, but everyone.
The victory that was within their grasp slipped away. They lost this battle in a very frustrating and extremely unwilling manner!
本场比赛,贾飞打满了全场!他上场40分钟,疯狂砍下全场最高的58分13个篮板8次助攻8个抢断6个盖帽,表现真的是炸裂Plus!
With 58 points, Jia Fei scored his highest score in the Chinese men's national basketball team. At this moment, he paid tribute to Chris Paul and became the first player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team to score 50+ points in a single Olympic game.
Keep in mind that the entire Chinese men's basketball team only scored 81 points, with Jia Fei scoring 58 points alone. That means everyone else combined only scored 23 points! This was his ultimate individual performance!
Next was the awards ceremony, where Jia Fei and his teammates stood together on the highest podium!
Next, the national anthem played and the national flag was raised...
Jia Fei fulfilled his promise and helped the Chinese men's basketball team achieve remarkable results!
Before the Olympics, no one thought the Chinese men's basketball team would be the ultimate gold medalist, nor did anyone think they could defeat the then-dominant American Dream Team.
But now all of this has become a reality. The Chinese men's basketball team has achieved a historic breakthrough, becoming the first Asian team to win an Olympic men's basketball gold medal!
Jia Fei won his first Olympic gold medal and was named the MVP of the men's basketball tournament!
Undisputed MVP!
Without Jia Fei's phenomenal performance, the Chinese men's basketball team wouldn't have even made it out of the group stage, let alone defeated Slovenia, France, and the United States in the knockout rounds. Their victory was truly remarkable. Adding to that their group stage wins against Germany, Australia, and Nigeria, they achieved a six-game winning streak at the Olympics, making them the undisputed champions.
If we're talking about which Olympic gold medal was the most unexpected, it has to be this one. No one could have predicted that the Chinese men's basketball team could defeat the American Dream Team.
The US Dream Team isn't immune to defeat. Back in the 2004 Athens Olympics, they lost to Argentina, ultimately only managing a bronze medal. However, since fielding a stronger lineup, they've achieved a three-peat in the Olympics. Although this year's roster lacks Curry and the "Running Man" duo, it's still incredibly formidable. It's not that this lineup is bad, just that it's not the strongest US men's basketball team.
Aside from Jia Fei, the Chinese men's basketball team really can't find any other NBA All-Star caliber players. Lee Kyle is just a regular rotation player on a strong NBA team, Art Mayok is a veteran benchwarmer, and Yi Jianlian is a CBA legend already retired from the NBA. As for players like Wang Jianlin, they have absolutely no connection to the NBA anymore. And players like Paul the Poker nephew are just CBA stars.
As one of the three major ball sports, volleyball is far less market-oriented and professional than football and basketball. However, due to the existence of the World Cup, the Olympic football competition is limited to U23 players, which makes the gold medal in men's basketball the most valuable.
Jia Fei led his team to win the gold medal in men's basketball at the Tokyo Olympics, and this gold medal is undoubtedly the most valuable one in this Olympic Games.
The Chinese men's basketball team's planning strategy was successful. Jia Fei, Art Mayok, and Li Ke'er, these three NBA players, were the backbone of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympics. Without these three players, it would be impossible to defeat the Dream Team, even without cheat codes in a game.
On August 8th, the 32nd Summer Olympic Games closed at the New National Stadium in Tokyo. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach described it as an Olympics of "hope, unity, and peace," an "unprecedented" Games. In his closing address, he said, "In this difficult time, you have given the world the most precious gift—hope! For the first time since the pandemic, the entire world has united. Sport has returned to center stage. Billions of people around the world have shared joy and inspiration. This gives us hope, this gives us faith in the future."
Led by the Olympic flag, athletes from 206 delegations entered the stadium in turn. Jia Fei, who led his team to a gold medal in the men's basketball competition in Tokyo, served as the flag bearer for the Chinese delegation, carrying the national flag high as he entered.
This was Jia Fei's first time appearing as an Olympic flag bearer. It was his first Olympic Games, and he became the flag bearer, which was very memorable for him.
Following the athletes' entrance and the closing ceremony performance, the final medal ceremony of this Olympic Games took place. The women's and men's marathon winners enjoyed the honor of receiving their medals at the closing ceremony.
As the music played, the Olympic flag was slowly lowered and folded up, handed to Bach by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, and then to Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, the host of the 33rd Summer Olympic Games, thus beginning the video version of "Paris Eight Minutes".
