For the vast number of Chinese sports fans...

Right now, perhaps what they need most is a translator to explain what a surprise feels like after the last ten-plus days...

Beijing time, early morning August 28th.

As the Athens Olympics were about to close, and the Chinese Olympic delegation had already secured second place in the gold medal count...

No one knows how many "rabbits" (a term of endearment for Chinese people) were awakened from their slumber by the screams and exclamations of the "noisy kids" next door.

"Liu Xiang is in lane four!"

"The race starts! Liu Xiang has a very smooth start!"

"He's currently in first place, next to him is Trammell..."

"Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang is in the lead!"

"Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang wins!"

"Liu Xiang has made history!

A Chinese man with black hair and yellow skin has become the world's fastest man!"

Athens Olympic Stadium, as the on-site timer confirmed Liu Xiang's final result of 12.91 seconds...

While winning the first-ever Olympic gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles for the Chinese track and field team...

On this night, by the Aegean Sea, Liu Xiang also used his actions to tell those "noisy kids" in front of the TV...

Don't believe what the "eagles and rabbits" (a reference to internet slang) are saying...

About the "lost generation."

Because whether it's the post-80s, post-90s, or the future post-00s, post-10s, post-20s, post-30s...

China's young people will only get faster, stronger, and taller.

Now, please translate again, what is t...

Conversely, facing Ginobili, who was showing off in front of him, Su Feng used his long arms to interfere with Ginobili's shot successfully.

Compared to the explosive start of tonight's game, in the middle and late stages of the first quarter, both teams chose to slow down the pace to reduce mistakes.

Because they have Yao Ming and Su Feng, the Chinese men's basketball team is not afraid of playing a positional game with Argentina.

On the Argentinian side, relying on tacit cooperation and Ginobili's threading passes, Nocioni and others can also exert their corresponding value in positional warfare.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams tied at 20 to 20.

In the second quarter, Su Feng did not rest.

The Chinese men's basketball team adjusted its lineup to Bateer, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Su Feng, and Guo Shiqiang.

On the Argentinian side, Ginobili also did not rest.

In the second quarter, the initial lineup of the Argentinian men's basketball team was Oberto, Scola, Delfino, Ginobili, and Prigioni.

Because the Argentinian men's basketball team's guards are basically "erratic knife" types, in order to save Su Feng's stamina, Guo Shiqiang, who did not play in the semi-finals, was sent by Zhang Bin to serve as Su Feng's dribbling tool man in tonight's second quarter.

On the court, as the two teams took the lead alternately, in front of the TV, Chinese and Argentinian fans felt that their hearts would jump out in the next second.

Compared with the starting lineup of the Argentinian men's basketball team, this Argentinian men's basketball team's substitute lineup is not only good at chaotic battles, but their substitute center Oberto is also a reliable finishing point.

Perhaps, in Oberto's future NBA career, he will appear more often as a "substitute tool man."

But on the FIBA court, Oberto is definitely a star player.

After Yao Ming came off the court to rest, Da Ba's defensive area and mobility were not comparable to Little Yao.

The young Yi Jianlian was also tormented by Scola's cunning style of play.

On the Chinese men's basketball team's bench, Little Yao, who was resting, was really anxious this time.

Because although in terms of score, neither the Chinese men's basketball team nor the Argentinian men's basketball team could do anything to each other...

But...

As an insider, Little Yao is very clear.

As long as Su Feng can't withstand the pressure of any subsequent round...

Then the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to lose the dominance of this game.

"Coach Zhang, let me go up, I've rested enough!"

So, in order to win this precious gold medal for the Chinese men's basketball team with Su Feng, Yao Ming took the initiative to ask for a fight when there were still 7 minutes left in the second quarter.

However, after patting Little Yao on the shoulder, Zhang Bin directly rejected Little Yao.

Because to win this final against Argentina...

Zhang Bin is very clear that Yao Ming must ensure that when he is on the court, the Chinese men's basketball team can occupy the absolute right to speak in the interior.

Don't look at a FIBA game only lasting 40 minutes...

But in the high-intensity confrontation of this kind of final, under the premise that Yao Ming has not been fully rested, Zhang Bin knows that forcibly replacing him will only disrupt the Chinese men's basketball team's layout for this final.

In Su Feng's original timeline, the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team was unable to follow up in the game against Spain in 2008 was because Jonas only had so many cards to play at that time.

But tonight...

If he can't even last for a few short minutes, then what kind of NBA four-time regular season MVP is Su Feng?

On the commentary booth, the American commentator said with emotion: "Tonight's game is simply a showdown between 'star basketball' and 'team basketball'."

On the side, Pippen retorted: "I don't think the Chinese team is playing 'star basketball' tonight.

Because trusting the trump card player on your team is a very correct way to play the game."

As the most outstanding second-in-command in NBA history, no one knows better than Pippen that at this time, it is better to hand the ball to the boss of the team than to hand it to other players.

At this time, the American commentator on the scene also curiously asked Pippen: "So Scotty, in your opinion, what else should other players besides the ace player do at this time, besides expecting the ace player to shoot all the balls in?"

Think about what Scotty Pippen would have done back then?

Listening to the questions from the commentator beside him, Pippen, recalling the wonderful years he spent working with Jordan, smiled and said: "In my opinion, the Chinese team's players have already begun to do it."

On the court, the Chinese men's basketball team attacked, and after helping Su Feng pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian quickly cut into the basket.

Immediately, Su Feng also threw the ball towards the basket.

Thump!

34 to 32.

"When players like Michael and Su are constantly attacking on the court, other players will have 100% chances to get opportunities.

Therefore, what we need to do is to shoot the damn ball in when we receive assists from the ace players." Pippen smiled as he looked at the American commentator beside him.

In Su Feng's original timeline, the reason why Pippen is Pippen is because he knows that he cannot become Jordan.

Therefore, whether it was for wages and conflicts with the Bulls in the later stages of his career, or when he could score 30 points or 40 points on the court, he would not think about replacing Jordan.

In Pippen's view, if Jordan is light, then he is Jordan's shadow.

And the shadow...

Why bother to illuminate everything like light?

The second-in-command should have the awareness of being a second-in-command!

And this is Scotty Pippen's way of basketball.

Athens Olympic Stadium, with 4 minutes and 25 seconds left in the second quarter, Yao Ming returned to the court.

"In my opinion, being able to cooperate with a player like Su in the game is undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world.

Because at the moment, for 'Big Yao', Su has cleared all the obstacles for him to move forward!"

On the commentary booth, Pippen said with emotion as he watched Yao Ming return to the game with full health.

And on the court, just as Pippen predicted...

After Yao Ming returned to the stage, Oberto and others, who could still dominate the Chinese men's basketball team's interior before, soon didn't even dare to enter the three-second zone.

Because, no matter how strong a FIBA star player is, he is not Ultraman.

But...

The inside of the Chinese men's basketball team is now standing a monster.

From the group stage to the final.

The Chinese men's basketball team has always implemented the strategy of "Tian Ji's horse race" (a strategy of carefully matching strengths and weaknesses).

And if you want to ask why Zhang Bin can be so calm in the final...

Then Coach Zhang will definitely tell you:

No matter how bright and far the lighthouse shines, it will go out.

But...

When have you ever seen the sun not rise from the east?

Athens, when this stadium changed from "Manu Time" to "Gotta Go Crazy Time"...

Tonight, the Argentinian fans in front of the TV are really "going crazy."

Because under the relay of Su Feng and Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team has gradually gained control of this game!

At halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team led by 46 to 40.

After the halftime break, in the third quarter, Ginobili continued his various "back stabs" against Su Feng.

Serpentine steps, outside three-pointers, no-look passes...

In Pippen's words, Ginobili is heading straight for 30 points tonight.

However, on the scoreboard, at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team actually expanded their lead to 8 points.

In front of the TV, O'Neal, who was losing weight in Miami, became more and more confident in his alliance with Su Feng.

Because in the eyes of this fathead fish, Su Feng not only knows how to use these big guys on the court in the offensive end...

Moreover, on the defensive end, he is like a close-fitting cotton jacket for these big guys, always able to alleviate the pressure of the big guys' defense pick-and-roll.

Just wait and see, those who thought the shark was about to sink into the sea!

Next season, I will definitely use my actions to tell you...

What is called even if you tie huge stones on my legs, Su Feng can also fish me out of the Pacific Ocean!

At this moment, while eating donuts with tears in his eyes, O'Neal was already preparing to start his "treadmill."

And Athens Olympic Basketball Hall.

As the final quarter began, Chinese fans also ushered in their most tense moment of the night.

In the fourth quarter, Nocioni, Delfino and others successively hit three-pointers for Argentina from the outside.

And Buenos Aires.

Some people who were originally preparing to order "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" for Argentina also hurriedly gave up this plan.

Although from the perspective of strategy and combination with the game process, Su Feng has already done his best with Zhang Bin tonight.

But this Argentinian men's basketball team is indeed worthy of being the team that Su Feng remembers laughing to the end in Athens.

When Ginobili's feel declines with his physical strength, other players on their team are also capable of taking over the sniper rifle from Ginobili.

On the court, with 5 minutes and 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Delfino once again hit a three-pointer for Argentina.

At this time, the Chinese men's basketball team's lead was only 1 point left.

Returning to the Chinese men's basketball team's attack.

Under the extremely nervous gaze of the "rabbits" in front of the TV, with the help of Yao Ming's screen, Su Feng rushed into the hinterland of the Argentinian men's basketball team with the ball.

At the same time, inside Argentina, Scola and Wolkowyski also immediately retracted their defense.

At a critical moment, after noticing Hu Weidong, who was already lurking in the bottom corner with the corner of his eye, Su Feng decisively threw the ball into Lao Hu's hands.

At this moment, no one knows what kind of spiritual communication Su Feng and Hu Weidong just had.

Su Feng: I dare to pass, do you dare to shoot, Lao Hu?

Hu Weidong: Why wouldn't I dare?

Shua!

In Hu Weidong's view, the luckiest thing in his life...

Was meeting Su Feng in Long Beach that year.

And in Su Feng's view, the luckiest thing after he joined this national team was...

Every time he looks back, he doesn't have to carry all the pressure on his shoulders like future A-Lian (Yi Jianlian).

As the last trump card on the shooting guard position of the Chinese men's basketball "Golden Generation"...

It's time to turn over this last mountain and engrave your name forever on the monument of Chinese basketball.

Athens Olympic Stadium, 84 to 80.

On the court, after Hu Weidong hit this key three-pointer for the Chinese men's basketball team, Argentina also made a mistake on the offensive end.

On this night, Manu Ginobili, who twisted every last bit of energy for Argentina, no matter how high or far he flew, could not escape Su Feng's Wuzhi Mountain (referencing the Monkey King legend, meaning inescapable control).

On the court, after cutting the basketball from Ginobili's hand, Su Feng, who went straight in, scored with a powerful劈华山 (pī huà shān - splitting Mount Hua) in Yu Jia's exclamation!

86 to 80!

And on the Argentinian men's basketball team's bench, looking at Su Feng, who seemed like the game had just begun at this moment...

At this moment, perhaps only Celtics fans can understand the despair of Argentinian players and fans!

"Time is running out for the Argentinian team!"

On the commentary booth, as this game entered its final decisive moment, Yu Jia also playfully borrowed a line often used by the football commentators next door.

On the court, facing Su Feng's relentless charge at the last moment, the Argentinian players were unable to resist.

And as the timer came to its zero point in the sound of da, da, da...

On the scoreboard, 94 to 84.

Eight battles to success!

The Chinese men's basketball team successfully won the final of this Olympic men's basketball game!

Two years ago, Yu Jia, who took the lead in shouting "We are the champions" in Indianapolis, announced excitedly to the "rabbits" in front of the TV:

"We are the champions! We are the champions again! We are always the champions!"
