The reward pool of the national war system can be said to be quite generous.

Compared with the NBA, it is a business where you can make a fortune with just one vote.

If you win the gold medal in an international competition, you can randomly give one attribute a value of 7 among all the strong attributes!

Silver medal 5, Bronze medal 3.

The system defines strong attributes as: attributes with an ability value higher than or equal to 75 are considered strong attributes.

Looking at it this way, Li Ang feels that he is quite strong. He now has a total of 9 abilities above 75.

In other words, if you win a card, one of these nine attributes will be randomly selected to increase attribute points.

You know, if you calculate according to normal upgrades, you currently need to play 25-35 games in the NBA to get an upgrade.

But how many games are there in the Olympics? If you want to win a medal, you only need to play eight games.

It's equivalent to getting half an upgrade in eight games, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course, the system's definition of international competitions is also very strict, including only the Olympic Games and World Championships.

Medals won at the Asian Championships and Asian Games are not included.

If the Asian Championships were all counted, Li Ang would probably be the most active in participating in the Asian Championships every year.

Although the Olympic Games and World Championships only occur once every four years, a player will not participate in them more than once in his entire career.

But this kind of opportunity to harvest wool is precisely because it is rare, so it is more important to seize it.

Soon, Li Ang looked at the schedule again.

Let me put it bluntly, if you really want to compare with hard power, it would be very difficult for the Chinese team to win a medal.

Because according to normal logic, if you want to win a medal, you must at least be ranked among the top three of all Olympic teams in terms of physical strength.

But the three teams of Dream Team, Lithuania and Yugoslavia are actually stronger than the Chinese team in terms of hard power, and they are so strong that they are currently insurmountable.

But the good thing is that the basketball competition in the Olympic Games is really not as simple as hard power.

Sometimes, luck is also important.

In the first round of the knockout round, Lithuania and Yugoslavia met on a narrow road, causing Yugoslavia to be eliminated early in the first round.

This means that in the second round, the Dream Team and Lithuania will fall in love and kill each other in advance!

In other words, these three teams that are almost impossible for the Chinese team to defeat are precisely the ones that China will never encounter.

This schedule allowed the Chinese team to perfectly avoid all strong enemies before the finals!

In the next round, the Chinese team only needs to defeat Australia to advance to the finals.

Entering the finals means that the Chinese team can win at least a silver medal!

The men's team won medals in the big ball event, which was a historic breakthrough for 0!

In the original history, France was not ranked among the top three in terms of strength, but it relied on this incredibly lucky schedule to win the runner-up spot.

But now, Li Ang used a death slam to steal the Frenchman's script.

There is simply no better opportunity to win a medal than this!

The only trouble is that Australia is playing on home soil, they have home field advantage and their morale is high.

Don't underestimate the factor of playing at home. Playing in front of your own home, in front of your own fans, you will really have the feeling that the people of the whole country are behind you.

Moreover, Australia is a team that values ​​physical confrontation.

Before Bogut appeared, the world already knew that Australians were good players, not easy to mess with, and had a tenacious style.

The most important thing is that the hands are dark enough.

In the warm-up match of the 1996 Olympic Games, although Australia lost to the Dream Team 77-118, Australian guard Sean Hale struggled with Barkley for the whole game, using various little tricks to mess up the Flying Pig Jazz.

Annoyed.

The most outrageous thing is that in front of the Dream Team, Hale made 8 of 12 three-pointers and scored 28 points.

Of course, when talking about Australia, we have to mention their basketball pioneer Longley. Although this curly-haired white center is not a superstar in the NBA, his strength is recognized because he has experienced three consecutive championships with the Bulls.

Isn't there a joke going around: "Longley led Jordan to three consecutive championships with four major centers on his shoulders."

Longley is indeed not a dominant big man, he just does some dirty work.

But he was able to survive in that environment at that time and was influenced by the rough playing style. Is it possible to say that he played softly?

This is Australian basketball, tough, solid basic skills, able to shoot and fight.

Although the game didn't look very good, the pace was extremely slow.

But we must admit that they are indeed a world-class team.

What the Chinese team is most afraid of is this kind of team that plays physical confrontation.

Mr. Jiang has a headache. The reason why he deliberately avoided Australia when he lost to Italy was because China would suffer too much against Australia.

Australian basketball values ​​confrontation too much. It’s not that the Chinese team can’t win in a confrontation. The main reason is that after half a game, the Chinese team will be drained.

The physical problem cannot be solved by Mr. Jiang's tactics.

Although the Chinese team has accomplished its mission by reaching this point, with the silver medal in front of them, how could they not have any ideas?

Therefore, in the past few days, everyone has been very active in preparing for the game. Knowing that the opponent is difficult to beat, in order to achieve the goal, the only choice is to fight hard.

In order to boost everyone's confidence, Li Ang performed crosstalk with Yao Ming in the training ground whenever he had nothing to do:

"Yao Zi, are we among the top two in the world?"

"Just tomorrow, hey, just tomorrow!"

Their Tianjin accents made everyone laugh.

Top two in the world, how dare you think about it before!

But now that we have the right time, right place, and right people, why not?

Li Ang couldn't imagine what kind of storm this would cause when he won a medal in the Olympic men's big ball event.

No need to imagine or even wait to win a medal.

Right now, there is overwhelming momentum building for the men's basketball team in China, and its popularity even exceeds that of the women's volleyball team.

The women's volleyball team is so strong, and it has only reached the top four in this year's Olympics.

Banners such as "Dedicate a lifetime, work hard throughout a lifetime. Learn men's basketball and revitalize China" are posted at the entrances of major neighborhood committees.

In schools, the essay topics given by teachers now are generally: Write an essay of no less than 600 words with the theme of learning the spirit of the men's basketball team, challenging yourself, and never giving up.

The National Youth Team also asked the players to write an article on learning the spirit of the men's basketball team. As a result, a player named Zhu was the only one in the team to score 0 points.

Because he wrote in the article: "The spirit of men's basketball is to act like Li Ang if you don't accept it. If anyone plays rough tricks with us on the court, we will beat him!"

Regarding the result of 0 points, Xiao Zhu felt that it was a bit unfair.

Everything I said is true, Li Ang did it too!

In short, the popularity of men's basketball in China is far beyond Li Ang's imagination.

Of course, in Australia, basketball is also unprecedentedly popular.

Ten years ago, most Australians had no enthusiasm for basketball at all. Basketball was just one of the sports they would touch after rugby and tennis when they were extremely bored.

It wasn't until Longley entered the NBA and won three consecutive championships with the Bulls that basketball began to be taken seriously here.

Now, the Australian men's basketball team has the opportunity to win a medal for the first time in the Olympics, which undoubtedly brings the Australian basketball atmosphere to a climax.

Although both countries are very excited, the Australians' mentality towards this game seems to be completely different from the Chinese.

While the Chinese media are cheering for the men's basketball team, the Kangaroo media are being irritated.

First, there were a lot of media questioning Li Ang's illegal drug use.

They all agreed that Li Ang's performance in the Olympics was a bit too incredible.

How could an Asian fly over Vis and lead the team to defeat France? It must be high-tech!

Li Ang is also convinced. In the last game, I was only fourth in the team in scoring. Can this also hit me?

Later, some media made fun of Yao Ming, saying that he was just a big fool and would die if Langley touched him.

At the same time, he did not forget to tease Lao Hu: the top scorer in the Paralympics.

Facing the groundless accusations and insults from the Australian media, Li Ang was angry, but not surprised.

Aren't kangaroos always like this?

No one really thinks that people like Bodog are the only ones in Australia, right?

As luck would have it, Li Ang was actually selected to take a drug test the day before the competition. In an instant, the effect of this program was immediately maxed out.

According to Olympic practice, generally the top four athletes in a certain event are easily called for drug testing.

As for the team event, one from each of the top four teams will be selected for testing.

Of course, Li Ang did not detect any problems, which made the Australian media furious.
