At half-time, the players sat there with disappointed expressions on their faces.

The opponent in the first game is still relatively weak among the five opponents in the group stage, and if they can't even win this game, the situation of the next country Z team will be very difficult.

The players don't want to put the team in a difficult situation, but how do they get out of the quagmire?

Everyone has no clue.

Lao Jia still emphasizes defense, in fact, the players did a good job in defense in the first half, and the key problem is still in the offense.

"Hurry up in the second half, right?" Quietly said: "Fight it one last time, and if you continue to fight so decently, I'm afraid of ......."

Afraid of what? She didn't say it, but everyone knew it.

Lao Jia did not agree with her suggestion.

"We can't mess up just because the opponent has a good play, stick to our own style of play, adjust your state, there are still two quarters of the game, as long as you play steadily, there is still a chance to turn the tables", Lao Jia finally said to the players.

In the second half, the players conscientiously implemented Lao Jia's deployment, and did a good job in the first two rounds of offense and defense, beating the opponent 5-0.

The opposing coach called a timeout, and when they came back, their state was adjusted, and the two teams began a tug-of-war.

The tug-of-war is good for the opponent because they are still in the lead. If the stalemate continues, the Z team will lose the game.

At the end of the third quarter, the Z team was still seven points behind the opponent, and it was not impossible to chase seven points in ten minutes, provided that their side was good and the other side was not good.

The Z national team can do its own good, but it does not let the opponent do not do well in defense.

In the end, the score was fixed at 66:59 and the girls lost the game.

After the game, the girls were very depressed, and they sat in a row in the locker room, all of them drooping their heads and not speaking.

Lao Jia asked the team leader to find a way to cancel the post-game press conference, and the players did not have to face questions from the media, but Lao Jia still had a lot of problems to deal with, and he had no time to appease the lost players.

"Now we're finished, we will definitely be scolded to death", Shen Tui was the first to lose his breath and said dejectedly.

When a team member heard this, he also took out his mobile phone and opened the commonly used social networking site, and after reading it, the whole person was even worse.

"The game was broadcast live, and many fans in China watched the game, and many people said that they were very disappointed with the table of the Z country team," the team member said with a sigh.

"It's so easy to be disappointed with us, it's definitely not the fans who really love the women's basketball team of Country Z, they don't love us, why don't we care if they are disappointed or not!" Qiao Mingle persuaded: "We have already done what should be done, and many times winning or losing is not determined by whether we work hard or not." So, we all want to play a little bit more, and we have four games to go, and we still have a chance."

"Then Sister Qiao, are you still willing to take us out to play? You said you took us out to play when you won the game," Shen asked aggrievedly.

"Of course", Qiao Mingle said with a smile: "Win or lose, the first game has been played, and we will turn the page." How about taking you out for a walk when I go back to the village? ”

Shen Tui immediately laughed, but everyone could see that there was a loss on her smiling face that could not be concealed.

Qiao Mingle sighed in his heart, anyone can say anything, but his mentality is not so easy to adjust.

They are burdened with too many expectations and they themselves are hungry for victory, and losing a game that is a must-win for country Z in such a situation is too big a blow to the players.

What they need is victory, and only one victory can solve the problem once and for all.

Before welcoming the victory, all they can do is to try to bury their feelings of loss, worry, fear, etc. deep in their hearts, with a smile on their faces, a confident smile, and continue to play.

Qiao Mingle promised a thousand gold, and immediately went to ask the team leader for leave when he returned to the Olympic Village.

At first, the team leader didn't give leave, for fear that something would happen to them.

Later, Qiao Mingle invited the team leader to join them, and the team leader reluctantly agreed.

The team members didn't all go out, only Shen Tui and the other three young athletes, plus Qiao Mingle and the team leader, a total of six people.

There are still many places for athletes to have fun in the Olympic Village, where you can meet athletes from all over the world.

The number of Olympic delegations of country Z ranks among the top three of all countries, but in such a place for athletes to relax and entertain, it is rare to see the shadow of country Z athletes.

When the team leader and a group of young and beautiful female athletes appeared on these occasions, they attracted a lot of attention.

Some enthusiastic athletes will also take the initiative to greet the girls, and at this time it is time for Qiao Mingle to show her skills, she will act as a translator, so that the athletes can get acquainted with each other.

Everyone was chatting happily, and Qiao Mingle suddenly felt that there was a burning gaze behind her back.

When she turned her head to look, she saw a tall, handsome foreign man with an inch of hair looking at her with a smile.

"Sister Qiao, he's coming for you", Shen Tui quietly bumped into her, and said with a wink: "If you let Brother-in-law Qiao know, it is estimated that the vinegar in the whole country will have to be drunk dry."

Qiao Mingle glanced at her, smiled at the male athlete, and did not step forward to speak.

She thought the male athlete was familiar!

There are really not many international sports athletes she knows, and the ones that can make her feel familiar must be very famous.

Sure enough, after dealing with the foreign athletes, when only the team leader and team members were left, the team leader said to Qiao Mingle: "You should go over to say hello just now, it's best to ask for an autograph." He is an Olympic legend, a famous swimmer who won eight gold medals in one Olympic Games! ”

Qiao Mingle was stunned, no wonder he felt familiar, no wonder he was in such a good figure, it turned out to be him!

"Our Sister Qiao is also an Olympic legend, and it is rare to ask for someone else's signature, it should be someone else who comes to her to ask for an autograph!" Shen Tui said shortly.

She really said it, and after a while, foreign athletes came to Qiao Mingle to ask for autographs.

Moreover, most of them are young and handsome male athletes.

Some of them even flattered Qiao Mingle unabashedly, invited her to dinner, and asked for her phone number......

"Doesn't it mean that the aesthetics of foreigners are different from the aesthetics of our country Z, my appearance should be ugly in the eyes of foreigners", Qiao Mingle said suspiciously when he walked to the dormitory.

Originally, she wanted to accompany the little athlete out to relax, but she didn't expect to end up with a group of people surrounding her and leaving the little athlete aside, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.

Shen Tui took her arm and said a little proudly: "Our Sister Qiao is a big beauty, no matter which country is in the eyes of a big beauty, maybe that Olympic legend will appear in front of you in two days, looking at you with big eyes!" (To be continued.) )
