Chapter 103 We are the champions!
Argentina double-teamed him, so Lin Yu chose to pass the ball.

Zhu Ba and Li Nan were in great shape today.

朱八全场9投6中，三分球6中4，罚球2中2，砍下16分4篮板。

李南全场8投4中，三分球5中3，罚球3中3，砍下14分1助攻2篮板。

再加上林禹的21分11助攻7篮板2抢断和大姚的22分9篮板2盖帽。

The men's basketball team defeated Argentina 90:86.

Won the first Olympic gold medal in basketball!
The moment the game ended, Coach Zhang shouted excitedly!

"We won!!! The men's basketball team won the Olympic gold medal!!!"

"Before the Olympics, no one was optimistic about the men's basketball team, but along the way, we defeated world powerhouses such as Spain and Argentina, and even broke the myth of the Dream Team!"

"Now!"

Having said that, Coach Zhang paused, then he roared with all his strength!

"We can proudly say! We are world champions!!!"

The Dragon Country fans were also completely excited at this time.

Although many fans thought that the men's basketball team would win the gold medal when they guessed that the final opponent would be Argentina.

But when the men's basketball team won the gold medal, I was still very excited!
"World champions! We are world champions!"

"The men's basketball team is awesome! Dayu is awesome!"

"Overthrow the Dream Team and win the gold medal! This men's basketball team is destined to be a legend!"

"..."

on the field.

Lin Yu and others had already started celebrating at this time.

Among them, Yao Ming was the most excited player, with tears constantly flowing out of his eyes.

For Yao Ming, whether he made the NBA All-Star team, was selected for the third team, or even won the championship, it is far less than the achievement of winning the gold medal for the men's basketball team!

Olympic gold medal!

For any athlete, it is the highest honor!
Looking at the celebrating Dragon Country men's basketball team, the Argentine players also looked unhappy at this time.

Ginobili threw the towel on the ground.

Although he was unhappy.

But he didn't leave.

It's different from the NBA Finals.

If you lose the NBA finals, you can exit immediately.

If you lose in the Olympic final, you have to collect the silver medal before you can leave.

At this time, the Spanish Ducks team also arrived at the scene, ready to receive the bronze medal.

Unlike the angry Ginobili, the wife of the emperor was very graceful at this time.

"Lin, Yao, congratulations! You led the Dragon Country men's basketball team to the top!"

Dayao and Lin Yu also thanked everyone for their blessings.

At this time, the Olympic podium had been built.

The Spanish Ducks players were the first to stand on the podium. Although their goal was the gold medal, they were surprised to think that the Dream Team lost in the quarterfinals.

They got a bronze medal, which was barely acceptable, so they just smiled.

No one on the silver medal-winning Argentina team smiled.

Especially Ginobili.

It's just as if 'I'm very unhappy' is written on his face.

They had a chance to win a gold medal, but now they only got a silver medal.

It would be strange if the Argentine men's basketball players were happy!

Finally, amid the cheers of the fans, Lin Yu, Dayao and all the men's basketball team members stepped onto the podium.

Jacques Rogge, head of the International Olympic Committee, also appeared at this time.

The gold medal was presented by him personally.

From left to right, Jacques Rogge personally puts the gold medal on the men's basketball players!
Even at the Olympic medal ceremony for team events, each athlete's name will be announced when the gold medal is presented.

As Jacques Rogge put the gold medal on the men's basketball player, the names of the men's basketball players were also called out at the scene.

Lin Yu, Yao Ming, Daba, Alian...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Winning the Olympic champion!] Looking at the gold medal on his chest and listening to the system prompt sound, Lin Yu also smiled.

Next is the flag-raising ceremony.

When the national flag was hoisted, all the Dragon Country fans stood up and the male basketball players stood in awe.

The next second, a familiar melody sounded.

"Singing our dear motherland..."

The Olympics are officially over.

On the night of the championship, the men's basketball team's top management also arranged a celebration banquet for the men's basketball players.

The Dragon Country’s celebration party naturally couldn’t be a champagne fight like an NBA champion, a nightclub party, or a trip to Las Vegas.

Mainly drinking!

When Lin Yu woke up the next day, he was already in bed in the Olympic Village.

After getting up, Lin Yu turned on the computer and started surfing the Internet.

The news that the men's basketball team won the gold medal was everywhere.

As one of the three major sports, basketball's attention and influence are not even on the same level as weightlifting, high jump, triathlon and other events.

Not to mention, this is the first time that any of Dragon Country's three major men's ball sports have won a gold medal!
The Dragon Country men's basketball team is now enjoying the same heroic treatment as the women's volleyball team!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Selected for the best team in the Olympics! ]

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Yu also started to check.

The Olympics is not like the NBA, which has awards such as scoring champion, assist champion, and regular season MVP.

There is only one award in the Olympics and that is the best team.

The best lineup does not have five positions like the NBA, but six, one of which is given to the best sixth man.

The best point guard award went to 'King of Europe' Jasikevicius.

Although Jasikevicius did not win a medal, he also overturned the Dream Team in the Olympics this time.

In terms of strength, it is indeed worthy of an all-time best lineup.

Ginobili was named the best shooting guard.

In terms of Ginobili's personal performance in the Olympics, no one can surpass him except Lin Yu.

And he won the silver medal, which was well deserved for him.

The best small forward award was given to Carlos Delfino of Argentina.

Although Delfino's playing style is more 3D, his defense helped the Argentina team reach the finals and he also had a wonderful performance in the semi-finals.

Although it’s a bit of a stretch to give it to him, the three teams that won medals didn’t have very strong players at the small forward position.

The best power forward award was naturally given to Lin Yu without any controversy.

He set an Olympic record of 60 points in a single group match.

In the quarterfinals, he defeated the Dream Team with a 41-point performance in a single game.

It would be unjustifiable not to give it to Lin Yu.

The best center award was given to Yao Ming.

Although it's okay to give it to your sister-in-law, Yao Ming won the gold medal after all, so it's more reasonable to give it to Yao.

The best sixth man award was given to Scola of Argentina.

Scola mostly came off the bench in this Olympics, but he still averaged 10.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

The performance is also outstanding.

After receiving two system rewards, Lin Yu was considering how to choose.

jingle!

When Lin Yu heard the phone ringing, he saw it was Bill Duffy.

"Bill, are you calling with any good news?"

"Of course, Lin, first of all, congratulations on winning the Olympic championship!"

"My phone has been bombarded with calls from businesses and companies that want you to be their spokesperson."

"If nothing goes wrong, you will make a fortune next!"

Lin Yu nodded. He was not surprised by this.

After winning the championship, it is normal for your value to increase and for you to make money by taking on endorsements.
