Chapter 487: Chapter 161: World Champion! (Today, one update for adjustment)_4
In the final moments of the third quarter, Qin Yue deliberately drew the United States team’s double-team to the sideline and first passed the ball to Sun Yue, who came over to assist him. Then, using a give-and-go play with Sun Yue, Qin Yue drove directly to the basket and delivered an alley-oop pass to Yao Ming that the opponent would never forget.
"Have you seen Saint Seiya? There’s a special move called Athena’s Exclamation in there, which needs three Golden Saints working together to execute. When I received that pass from Qin Yue in the game, I was thinking that the cosmos of me, him, and Sun Yue seemed to have concentrated at one point." Many years later, Yao Ming recalled the alley-oop dunk this way.
Bam——!
At the Wukesong Basketball Hall, Yao Ming’s alley-oop dunk locked the score at 68 to 84 in favor of the Chinese-American Teams at the end of the third quarter.
Qin Yue, who scored 24 points for the Chinese Team in a single quarter, had decisively widened the score gap.
Regarding Qin Yue’s creative breaking of the double-team in the second half, Bulin remarked, "Through his early observations and unique basketball IQ, he made the Redemption Team, lacking in coordination, pay a severe price during the entire third quarter."
As early as his rookie season, Qin Yue’s observation ability and basketball IQ had been fully recognized by the veteran coach Jerry Sloan.
Although compared to more visually apparent physical talents, these are relatively low-key attributes.
But the higher the level of competition, the more these two attributes will prove their importance.
The Redemption Team’s coordination determined that it would be difficult for them to perform high-level defensive tactics on the FIBA stage.
Qin Yue came from the future, and he clearly knew that the United States team’s defense was essentially about relying on stars’ personal abilities and applying full-court press to force the opponent’s mistakes and gain fast-break opportunities.
But once in the game, if the United States team couldn’t oppress the opponent’s offense in this way, they too would find themselves dragged into tough battles by numerous teams with significantly less overall strength.
It’s still that sentence.
FIBA and the NBA are two different dimensions of competition.
Attempting to win in FIBA by piling up star players means the United States team must ensure their stars outshine the opposition.
However, in this match that would decide the Olympic gold medal, Qin Yue was clearly the most brilliant superstar.
In fact, he’s the undisputed greatest player in FIBA history.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe, still rallying strings, repeatedly attempted to increase the game’s pace to create more offensive opportunities.
But in FIBA, where each quarter is only ten minutes...
If the Redemption Team couldn’t continuously hit threes like Qin Yue, catching up to a 16-point deficit would be nothing short of a pipe dream.
Moreover, Qin Yue’s passing and control ability wouldn’t allow the United States team any chance to quickly tie the score through fast breaks.
On the court, Qin Yue was like an elegant ball-handling maestro, firmly controlling the pace of the game for the Chinese Team.
And at the Wukesong Basketball Hall...
The once deafening stadium had gradually been reduced to a single sound.
Especially as the game neared its end.
The fans who initially feared the Chinese Team would collapse in the fourth quarter slowly felt a sense of security under Qin Yue’s historic-level control.
"The time left for the United States team is running out!" On CCTV, Zhang Weiping said powerfully in commentary.
"Only 19 seconds remain before the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team unprecedentedly becomes the Olympic men’s basketball champions!" Beside him, watching the Chinese Team voluntarily give up the offense in the last play, Sun Zhengping tremulously narrated in his broadcast tone.
Beep——!
Beijing.
When the buzzer signaling the end of the game sounded, Qin Yue, having put down the basketball, was immediately surrounded in the center of the court by Chinese Team players who could no longer contain their emotions.
Unlike the "world champion" in quotes...
At this moment, Qin Yue was the world champion!
This new GOAT of the basketball world, while crushing the redemption dream of American Basketball, officially kicked off an era defined solely by him with a legendary performance!
Mike Breen gracefully summed up after the game: "The redemption dream of American basketball ended in a heartbreaking fashion, but Chinese Basketball stood atop the world under the leadership of the Messiah. As fans of the United States team, we are unfortunate, but as basketball enthusiasts, we are undoubtedly lucky. I think this is a match that people will repeatedly mention even after a hundred years. The Messiah has perfectly interpreted the greatest individual heroism in basketball at this Olympics, making the Chinese Team with him more deserving of the Dream Team name."
