Chapter 133: Tang Feng Faints, Su Xiaoli Rushes Over (Part 3/5)

“There’s that possibility! It must be said, the China men’s basketball team, under Tang Feng’s leadership, has indeed undergone a significant transformation compared to before.”

“That’s obvious! If we had a captain like Tang Feng, we’d definitely fight our hardest too.”

“As long as the morale is boosted, even if we lose the match, it would still be a noble defeat.”

“It’s a pity we won’t see China team compete against America team! After all, America team is the strongest.”

“No worries! The Olympics are next year! By then, I believe the China men’s basketball team will definitely be able to win the championship.”

“I guess the players from America team are secretly relieved they don’t have to face such a strong opponent as China team. Last year’s runner-up, the Get Country team, has already been eliminated, leaving America team without any competitors.”

“We shouldn’t overhype Tang Feng! Doing so could actually be detrimental to him. If the China team loses to America team, it would mean Tang Feng’s strength is still not enough. It’s better to leave some suspense for next year’s Olympic performance.”

“That’s true. I believe in a year’s time, under Tang Feng’s leadership, the strength of the China team will significantly improve! Defeating America team might not be impossible.”

As everyone was discussing, the second quarter ended.

The score between the China team and the Australian team became 49:48!

The China team not only caught up but also gained a one-point advantage.

Of course, Yao Ming and the others had also expended a lot of energy.

They would definitely need to conserve their strength in the next two quarters.

The Australian team’s coach, seeing his opponents panting heavily, couldn’t help but smirk.

“It seems the game is about to enter garbage time! Without Tang Feng, the China team is hardly a threat.”

“Now it’s our time to thrash them!”

“They probably never imagined, the misery the Japan team experienced yesterday, is about to befall them today!”

“It’s a pity Tang Feng exerted himself too much yesterday; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to participate in today’s match.”

“He was simply being impulsive! Even if he wanted to thrash the Japan team, there was no need to exhaust himself like that! Now, he has to pay the price for his actions.”

As they thought they were about to dominate, Tang Feng arrived at the venue!

The fans in the stands thought their eyes were deceiving them.

“My God! Am I seeing things? Is that really Tang Feng?”

“Didn’t he collapse right after yesterday’s game? How could he recover so quickly?”

“He’s like a god among men!”

“He is a miracle!”

The China team’s coach and players, seeing Tang Feng, were extremely excited.

“Captain, how are you feeling?” Yao Ming asked eagerly.

“I feel pretty good! Though I’m not at my peak condition compared to before, I’m more than enough to take care of the Australian team,” Tang Feng responded.

“Dr. Lin, please check on Tang Feng! If his condition hasn’t recovered, I won’t allow him to play,” Coach Tian said seriously.

“Coach Tian, I…” Tang Feng started to speak.

“You don’t need to say anything! Tang Feng, I know you really want to win this championship! Not just you, all of us do! But you know in your heart, you are our biggest hope for winning the championship! If something happens to your health, and you can’t play, it means our China team might miss out on the championship! Honestly, before you showed up, I never even thought about winning the championship! I hadn’t even considered making it to the semifinals! After all, there’s a big gap between the China team and those basketball powerhouses. So, no matter what, I must ensure your health is not compromised.”

“Not winning the championship this time is okay; there’s always next year’s Olympics! If not, there’s the next World Championship! Are you saying you’re not willing to wait even four years?”

Coach Tian spoke at length.

“Coach Tian, my body really is fine. If you don’t believe me, you can have Dr. Lin check!” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Dr. Lin, if you’re conspiring with him, and something serious happens, you’ll be responsible!” Coach Tian warned.

“Coach Tian, don’t worry! I can tell what’s more important,” Dr. Lin responded.

Then, Dr. Lin conducted a thorough examination of Tang Feng’s body.

“Tang Team’s body has indeed almost recovered. As long as he doesn’t run for an extended period, he should be fine,” Dr. Lin stated.

“Are you sure?” Coach Tian still seemed a bit skeptical.

“Yes!” Dr. Lin nodded, “I must say, Tang Team’s physical condition is really good! I thought he’d need to lie in bed for two or three days, but he’s already recovered to this extent overnight!”

“In that case, you can play! But your playtime shouldn’t be too long! It’s best if you only play in the third quarter,” Coach Tian arranged.

“Playing for two quarters won’t be a problem! Coach, it’s time for the match!” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“You can still laugh! Yao Ming and the others have already given it their all! They probably won’t be much help for the rest of the match,” Coach Tian remarked.

“They’re giving me a chance to perform! Don’t worry, I certainly won’t let them down!” Tang Feng said before heading onto the court.

“I didn’t expect you to recover so quickly! Let’s see how powerful you really are,” the captain of the Australian team said to Tang Feng.

“Don’t rush! You’ll have your turn,” Tang Feng replied with a smile.

The third quarter began.

Because Yao Ming and the others had used up a lot of their energy, Tang Feng decided to take the initiative to shoot.

He kept stealing the ball from the Australian team’s players, then breaking through and shooting.

To conserve as much energy as possible, he almost didn’t dunk.

“Tang Feng is still so powerful! He’s only been on for a few minutes and already scored 9 points!”

“Three people from the Australian team are guarding him, and they can’t stop him at all!”

“Not to mention the Australian team, even other teams couldn’t stand up to him!”

“This kind of game is so satisfying to watch! If only every game could be like this.”

“But this kind of game feels like it’s missing something. It would be better if the teams were evenly matched; that would make the game more interesting.”

“No way! An evenly matched game would only make people more anxious! Especially towards the end, losing the game would feel like dying! I prefer this kind of overwhelming victory! It’s thrilling!”

“I also find it thrilling! Before, watching the games always left me feeling frustrated! Now, as long as Tang Feng plays, I know for sure we’ll win! That feeling is also pretty great!”

While everyone was debating, the third quarter ended, and the China team led their opponent by 18 points.
