Chapter 480: Chapter 159: This Era Belongs Only to Me! (5,000-word Chapter, begging for subscriptions and monthly tickets)_3
Especially during the fourth quarter when Qin Yue surged into Australia’s restricted area.
At that moment, with four Australian players stationed under the basket, they could only watch helplessly as Qin Yue snatched three consecutive offensive rebounds right in front of them, and with Ingles hanging on him, violently slammed the ball into the hoop like Shaquille O’Neal! (Qin Yue: ?)
Final score, 77 to 98.
In the second half, under the same level of intense physical battle given by the Chinese Team, Australia’s perimeter shooters also lost their rhythm in this high-intensity match.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue exploded with 54 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal for the Chinese Team, delivering his most explosive single-game performance since the opening match.
Qin Yue’s outstanding play in the quarterfinals once again ignited the entire basketball world.
In FIBA matches, he seems like an unstoppable beast.
"I don’t know how to stop him. His dominance on the international stage far exceeds the NBA," said Yao Ming, who scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks for the Chinese Team that night, "Luckily, he is my national teammate."
Yao Ming was happy during this Olympics.
This happiness came not only from Qin Yue showing him the hope of winning gold but also from the joy of no longer being the backbone of the Chinese Team, now immersed in the pleasure of supporting Qin Yue.
Yao Ming knows well that if this Olympic gold medal is redemption for the United States...
Then, for Chinese Basketball, this gold medal can only be described as the "creation of the world."
Yao Ming cannot imagine what positive changes this gold medal would bring to Chinese basketball.
But he is certain that this gold medal will surely make countless young people in China engage in basketball.
A day later, the Chinese Team faced Argentina Team in the semifinals.
Facing the defending champions, the Chinese players who were just one step short of entering the finals couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Even though making it to the semifinals was already a historic achievement for Chinese men’s basketball.
But with Qin Yue as the GOAT, how could this Chinese Team and the Chinese fans be satisfied with just the semifinals?
It’s worth mentioning...
Before this match began, the United States Team had already defeated Spain Team 118 to 108 in the other semifinal, so the players of the U.S. Team longing for redemption were hoping Ginobili would lead the Argentina Team to defeat the Chinese Team.
However, coincidentally, at the start of the semifinals, just like in Qin Yue’s memory, Ginobili twisted his ankle.
This non-contact injury for Ginobili was related to his style of play over the years.
In fact, even before the Olympic games began, the Spurs’ medical team discovered severe swelling in the ligaments connecting Ginobili’s heel and ankle.
For this reason, the Spurs coaching staff had hoped Ginobili would not participate in this year’s Olympics and heal properly.
But eager to play for his country, Ginobili eventually went to Beijing with concealed health risks.
And as the high-intensity matches unfolded one after another...
Ginobili’s injury outbreak was obviously a matter of time.
Qin Yue did not know if Ginobili’s unexpected injury would affect his contract renewal with the Spurs, as in history.
But Qin Yue could confirm that, at this moment, Ginobili is struggling to stay standing on the court, no longer a threat to the Chinese Team.
At the start of the game, the Argentina Team lost a key player.
Under Qin Yue’s leadership, the unstoppable Chinese Team expanded its lead to 19 points before the end of the first half.
Though unwilling to give up, the Argentine Team increased their frequency of outside shooting in the second half, led by several veterans, and tried to close the score gap with three-pointers.
But to the despair of soccer king Maradona watching and the players of the Argentine Team on the court, whenever they hit a three-pointer, Qin Yue would respond in the next round with a violent jump shot.
Moreover, compared to previous strong teams that had a dominant center in the paint, this Argentine Team’s only player they could rely on in the post was Oberto.
Scola, Yao Ming’s teammate from the Supersonic, knew well that Oberto was no match for Yao Ming, so he repeatedly attempted to fake falls to create offensive fouls on Yao Ming.
But no matter how good Scola’s acting was, on this night when FIBA wanted more than anything to see the Chinese-American Teams clash for the second time in the finals, he found it difficult to deceive the eyes of the sharp referees.
Like in the NBA, who says there is no script in FIBA matches?
It’s just that most of the time, the script only belongs to strong teams.
With divine assistance, Yao Ming totaled 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks in this game.
Qin Yue had an average performance this game, scoring only 40 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal.
Throughout the game, the final score between Argentina Team and Chinese Team was fixed at 81 to 101.
Qin Yue is now just one step away from shattering the redemption dream of American Basketball.
After the game, when discussing Qin Yue’s outstanding play during this Olympics, Yao Ming humorously said, "You know, I initially thought he was here to assist me."
The Chinese Team unprecedentedly reached the finals of the Olympic men’s basketball tournament.
They will face off against the United States Team at 2:30 PM on the afternoon of the closing ceremony day at Wukesong Basketball Hall to decide the champion of this Olympic men’s basketball competition.
If Qin Yue can personally seize this significant gold medal, not only will he put a perfect end to his legendary performance in this Olympic basketball tournament...
This substantial gold medal will also establish him completely as the God of Basketball in the hearts of all fans of this era.
In Qin Yue’s view, if the previous opening match was a meticulously prepared funeral for American Basketball.
Then the upcoming final is an exclusive coronation ceremony belonging only to him.
He will not allow anyone to stop this coronation ceremony.
Qin Yue has never been greedy.
But this era can only belong to him!
