Chapter 1025: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat, Moving Forward (1)
When returning to the locker room, UAE, Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi, Li Gen, Zhou Peng, Zhao Jiwei ...... Everyone lowered their heads, and finally it was the UAE who raised his head and was the first to speak: "I didn't do well in today's game, coach, everyone, I'm sorry." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Everyone was shocked.
"It's my fault, only 1 of 5 shots."
"No, it's my fault, I'm dragging the team back."
The crowd spoke out.
Chen Feng and Yu Qian's performance in this game was still good, Chen Feng scored 29 points, Yu Qian scored 21 points, and everyone else was much less.
However, seeing that everyone was like this, Chen Feng also stood up: "If you want to say that there is a mistake, it is also the fault of all of us." We are a unit, and losing the game is not the problem of one person or a few people, and one person or a few people should not be blamed. β
Yu Qian also said: "Chen Feng is right, we are a whole, so we should bear it together." β
Everyone looked at the two and nodded.
Gong Luming patted everyone and said, "Okay, we lost this game today, we should review it and strive to do better next time." But if you want to blame anyone, that's not necessary, you've worked hard and done a good job. We reached the semi-finals this year, which is the best result in history, and no one can blame you. β
"But ......"
"I know what you're going to say." Gong Luming interrupted, "In today's game, we are indeed a little unwilling to lose. But first, the opponent played really well. Second, we are inexperienced and have never been to the semi-finals before. Now that he has suddenly reached the semi-finals, it is definitely impossible to say that his mentality is not affected at all, and he has no intention of gaining or losing at all. β
"To put it bluntly, this is a foundation. The opponent, Serbia, has reached the final of the men's basketball World Cup in 14 years, and has competed for the championship with the dream team. So even though they lost to us in the group stage, they played better when they were like this. β
"But it's nothing."
"We failed this time, but at least the next time we encounter this situation, I believe we should be able to take it in stride." Gong Luming said, changing the subject, "I want you to forget about this game." We're going to look forward, we won't be able to compete for the title, but we still have three or four places to play. We have to be in a good mood and in shape for this game. At this point, we have no way back, we must win the battle for the third or fourth place, we must get the third place. β
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes began to shine, and they shouted in unison: "Yes!" β
This game is over, no matter what happens, the most important thing for them is to play the next game.
In the next race, they have to win because they can finish third and win an Olympic medal β a bronze medal, but it's better than nothing.
Especially at this time, this bronze medal is particularly important for the Chinese men's basketball team, because they have no way out, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent.
A few hours later, the other semi-final was over.
In the end, the United States defeated Spain and advanced to the finals without any suspense, where they will compete with Serbia for the men's basketball championship at this Olympic Games.
Spain, which was eliminated, will also compete with the Chinese men's basketball team for three or four places.
......
On August 21, the day after the end of the semifinals, the battle for the third and fourth places began, and the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Spanish men's basketball team.
The stadium was full of people early, and many Spanish fans and Chinese fans came to the scene with various slogans and small flags to cheer for the team.
On the sidelines, many reporters carried long guns and short cannons, aiming at the court.
The title fight is not going to take place until tomorrow, so a lot of reporters are here today to follow today's match.
This is a battle for three or four places, which may be inferior in color compared to the championship fight, but the intensity will not be bad. Because whether it is for the Chinese men's basketball team or the Spanish men's basketball team, this is a game with no way out, and it must be broken and move forward.
If you win, you can get a medal; Lose, but nothing.
In the locker room, all the Chinese men's basketball players had serious faces, everyone was sorting out their equipment, no one was talking, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
Gong Luming clapped his hands, and when everyone looked over, he said, "It's time for us to play." Today's game is our last game of the Olympics and it's a game we can't lose. But I have to warn you, it can't be like the last one. We've got to give it our all, we've got to be pressured, but we can't be affected by pressure, and I want you to turn pressure into motivation, you know? β
"Yes."
"Understood."
"Coach, don't worry, this time it will definitely not be."
Everyone said one after another, expressing their attitude to Gong Luming.
After yesterday's failure, everyone is more mature, their mood has improved a bit, and they will not make the same mistakes again.
Gong Luming nodded and led everyone out of the locker room.
On the other hand, the players of the Spanish men's basketball team also had a serious atmosphere, not smiling, and their eyes flashed with fierce light, like a group of fierce beasts.
In this Olympics, the Spanish men's basketball team did not perform well at the beginning, with 3 wins and 2 losses in the group stage, although it ranked second in Group B, but it always felt that something was missing.
Entering the semi-finals, they faced the United States team and lost without any suspense.
Of course, the reason for this is also because the replacement of new and old players in the Spanish team is not smooth enough, and there is still a lack of giants such as Gasol Jr. and Ibaka.
But even so, their strength should not be underestimated, in 08 and 12 Olympics, they are the favorites to win the championship, and they are the biggest opponents of the dream team.
This year's Spain has big drops such as Gasol and Mirotic on the inside, and excellent players such as Rubio and CalderΓ³n on the outside, and it is still a strong team.
Before the game began, the two sides began to collide with each other, and constantly staged dunks during the warm-up, even Chen Feng, who had never dunked during the warm-up, also staged a one-handed split dunk.
Seeing Chen Feng's dunk, many fans couldn't help but exclaim.
And some reporters who knew about it were even brighter, and hurriedly pointed the camera at Chen Feng, kept pressing the shutter, and discussed while capturing.
"Chen Feng has never dunked in the warm-up stage, but today he actually dunked one, it seems that he is bound to win this game."
"Yes, Chen Feng has shown his determination."
"This game is interesting, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Spain, this is their first meeting in this Olympic Games, which is exciting. Is Spain led by Gasol stronger, or is the Chinese men's basketball team led by Chen Feng more skilled? β
(There was a bit of a problem in Serbia because I accidentally made a mistake while looking at my own settings and looking at the actual Olympics.) In order to modify the front, the eliminated Serbia was changed to France, and the semi-finals were still Serbia. οΌ
