Chapter 70: Fusion Skill" Sakurai Ryo's Speedy Attack", The Quarterfinals Begin
As Mr. Zhang Weiping spoke, he turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.
In his eyes, the Chinese team with Jiang Chen has unlimited possibilities.
There is no doubt that this Chinese men's basketball team will be one that will be remembered. They are the strongest in the history of men's basketball and will also be the one with the highest achievements.
On the court, the players of the Huaxia team were still hugging each other to celebrate their victory.
Jiang Chen was surrounded in the middle, and his consciousness had already entered the system.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing the mission and successfully helping the Chinese team advance to the quarterfinals as the second in the group. The mission reward is now released."
"Rewards: 2000 achievement points, 1000 skill fusion fragments, [Sakurai Ryo's Speedy Attack] skill fusion card!"
The system's cold voice sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.
"Fusion Skill [Sakurai Ryo's Light Speed Attack]!"
Jiang Chen said excitedly.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for the successful fusion."
The system voice sounded.
Jiang Chen's mind moved, and the introduction of [Sakurai Ryoko's Speedy Attack] emerged in his mind.
[Sakurai Ryoko's Speedy Shot: A first-year student at Tōō Academy, he has the ability to shoot quickly! His initial level is intermediate, and his fusion rate is 50%. After fusion, he can increase the host's original shooting speed by 50%.]
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
This skill combined with the [Midorima Shintarō Super High Arc Three-Pointer] skill is simply invincible.
Although it only increased the shooting speed by 50%, it was already terrifying enough.
In this way, his three-point shooting ability will be more difficult to defend.
He looked at his system interface.
[System: Black Basket System]
[Host: Jiang Chen]
[Height: 201cm]
[Weight: 98kg]
[Comprehensive physique: 89]
[Skills: Atsushi Murasakibara's physical talent (perfect level); Tsukawa Tomonori's strongest wall (advanced); Midorima Shintarō's high arc three-pointer (advanced); Hayama Kotaro's thunderous dribbling (advanced); Aomine Daiki's irregular shooting (advanced); Sakurai Ryoko's speedy shooting (intermediate)]
[Items: Akashi Seijuro Emperor Eye Experience Card1 (valid for 10 minutes), Kise Ryota Imitation Experience Card1 (valid for 10 minutes)]
[Achievement Points: 3000]
[Skill Fusion Fragments: 1450]
"I only have 3,000 achievement points, so it's unlikely that I'll be able to win a lottery in the short term. But I've accumulated 1,450 skill fusion fragments, and with another 550, I can upgrade my skills. I hope that the rewards for subsequent tasks will be more skill fusion fragments."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, his eyes full of anticipation, and he had already decided which skill to upgrade.
"Ding Dong, now issuing a mission, lead the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve great results in the Olympics!"
"The higher the Huaxia men's basketball team's ranking, the more rewards they will receive."
"Reach the semi-finals and receive 2,000 achievement points and 600 skill fusion fragments as rewards."
"Reach the finals, 500 fusion skill fragments."
"Win the championship, 500 fusion skill fragments, and reward the perfect level [Kagami Taiga physical talent] (focusing on strengthening jumping ability and air-staying ability), and a treasure box of your choice."
"Note: The rewards are not distributed all at once, but cumulatively!"
The voice of the system sounded in Jiang Chen's mind again.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, staring at the final reward.
This reward is really rich.
Kagami Taiga's physical fitness is absolutely abnormal, especially his jumping ability and air-staying ability, which can be said to be the strongest in Kuroko basketball comics.
You can even walk on air!
If he can get this reward, his physical fitness will be further improved.
Even in the NBA, he is not inferior to any player.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen was filled with fighting spirit.
No matter what, we must work hard to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to a breakthrough.
Turning his consciousness back to reality, Jiang Chen laughed brightly along with the cheers of his teammates.
...
the next day.
The news that the Chinese team made it to the quarterfinals once again dominated the internet.
At the same time, major sports media have also launched a round of predictions for the upcoming quarter-finals.
In addition to the match between China and Croatia, the remaining three matches are Lithuania and Greece, Argentina and Spain, and Australia and the United States.
Among them, the most watched teams are the Chinese team and the American team.
Now more and more media outlets are commenting on the possibility of the Chinese team reaching the finals.
After all, they beat the strong team of Spain in the group stage, lost to the United States by only 13 points, and qualified as the second in the group.
All signs indicate that the Chinese team has become a powerful team that cannot be ignored in the Olympics.
Such predictions completely aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, who left messages on the Internet to express their support and expectations for the Chinese men's basketball team.
...
Two days later, the quarterfinals officially began.
The first game was between Lithuania and Greece.
As European powerhouses, the two teams have similarities in terms of playing style and style.
And the players are very familiar with each other.
The two teams fought fiercely until the fourth quarter, but in the end the Lithuanian team had the last laugh. Relying on the outstanding performance of their star players, they defeated the Greek team with difficulty and advanced to the semi-finals.
The next match is between the United States and Australia.
There is a huge gap in strength between the two teams.
There is basically no suspense.
Although the Australian team has Bogut, the No. 1 center, they are still vulnerable in front of the powerful US team.
Throughout the game, Bogut was completely suppressed by Howard, and it could even be said that he was beaten to a pulp.
The Australian team lasted only five minutes before the U.S. team pulled away from the lead.
The final score was 115:80.
The US team easily won the game with a huge difference of 35 points and advanced to the semi-finals.
Thus, the first day of competition ended.
The next day, the quarterfinals continued.
The first game is between Spain and Argentina.
The Spanish team was the champion of the 2006 World Championships, while the Argentine team was the champion of the 2004 Olympic Games.
When the two teams meet, it can be described as a collision of heaven and earth.
At the same time, both teams have NBA superstar players.
The Spanish team has Pau Gasol, while the Argentine team has Ginobili.
Judging from the lineups on paper, the two teams are evenly matched.
Both sides played very tensely throughout the game. No matter which side performed well, the other side was able to respond, which made the fans watching the game very excited.
In the fourth quarter of the final battle, the Spanish team showed stronger strength. Gasol and Pau Gasol dominated the restricted area, made consecutive strong hits and created a climax of offense.
Ginobili was ultimately powerless to turn the tide, and after missing two consecutive three-point shots, he announced his defeat in the game.
In the end, the Spanish team successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Two hours later.
It's still Wukesong Arena.
The last quarter-final match between China and Croatia is about to begin!!
