Chapter 144: Punishment
After the regular procedures are completed, the press conference officially enters the reporter's question session, which is also the most anticipated part of this press conference.
And almost all the questions from media reporters revolve around the conflict between the players on both sides.
Qiao Mingle, as the only athlete on both sides of the conflict, suddenly became the center of everyone's questions.
"I want to ask Qiao Mingle, what happened at that time that led to your love getting out of control and almost fighting your opponent?" A reporter from an online platform asked politely.
This is really polite, at least not as sharp as Qiao Mingle thought the question was sharp.
"I successfully stole the ball of the opponent's No. 9 player, made a long pass to Ye Xiaoxiao, and finally scored. Then player 9 hit me from behind, and I fell to the ground with an unsteady center of gravity. Of course, if that wasn't enough for me to abandon sportsmanship and the rules of basketball, it was she who said something insulting to our country when she hit me, which I couldn't bear anyway. ”
Qiao Mingle sat upright, his hands clasped on the table, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations on his face, even the ups and downs of his voice.
"Then may I ask, what did the No. 9 athlete say at that time that insulted your country and made you so angry? I want to make it clear, are you sure that your anger comes from the other person's insult to your country and not from the other person's behavior of knocking you down? ”
This time it was a foreign journalist who asked the question.
Thinking about it, he asked what many people thought in their hearts, and many of them nodded silently, waiting for Qiao Mingle's answer seriously.
Qiao Mingle moved his fingers, and only three seconds after the reporter's question, he calmly replied: "I don't want to repeat her words, because that sentence just came to my mind, and I feel that it is a blasphemy against my country!" If you want to know, you might as well ask the opposing athlete to sue you personally, and if she dares to act boldly, she should not deceive you. As for the second question you asked, I would like to say. I'm a professional athlete and I know the rules on the field all too well. If she just hit me, I could have told the referee if he was fair. She will be punished, and in that case it will be very beneficial to us. ”
"Would you have done it if you had known before you did it that you might be banned or punished more severely?" This time the question was asked by a reporter from a domestic newspaper, obviously he was on Qiao Mingle's side, and wanted to drag the question in the direction of Qiao Mingle.
Qiao Mingle's answer did not disappoint him.
"Like I said earlier. I knew the rules of the arena very well, so I thought about it before I even started it. But even if I do get a long-term ban or a lifetime ban, I won't regret it, because that's what I'm supposed to do as a Z person, and someone else would do it. ”
She clenched her fists, "Violence can't solve all problems, but sometimes, violence can make people aware of the existence of problems, and sports should be fair and just." I don't want to have people in the future who feel that their skin color, race, or country are higher than others, and even make this kind of self-righteous expression out of their ignorance. ”
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strict, Qiao Mingle put down his fist, smiled slightly, and relaxed: "I won't regret it, but there is a situation that will make me even more angry." ”
"What's the situation?" Someone immediately asked a very good question.
"I'm banned for playing by the rules of the arena, and the people who really did the wrong thing haven't realized their mistakes, I'm going to be angry, really angry," Qiao Mingle said jokingly.
The press conference ended successfully. Qiao Mingle was tired and rushed to gather with everyone, and then took the bus to the hotel to rest.
Everyone asked her about the press conference, and Qiao Mingle smiled bitterly, "It's much more tired than playing." ”
Return to the hotel. Qiao Mingle fell directly on the bed and didn't want to move at all, Ye Xiaoxiao leaned over and lay beside her, and said worriedly: "The situation seems to be really bad, I accidentally heard Coach Gu calling just now, he was very angry, and he quarreled with the person on the other end of the phone." You know that Old Man Gu is not angry when he is light. Anger designation is no small matter. ”
After the incident, although Qiao Mingle was very calm on his face, he actually had no bottom in his heart.
Her sporting career was just going in a good direction, and she didn't want to end it. But the current situation is that her fate is completely in the hands of others, and if the team wants to calm things down from the standpoint of the rules of the game, then the punishment for her will not be light.
"It's useless to think so much now, let's wait for news. Don't worry, play the next games well, play well in the cross-knockout rounds and try to reach the quarterfinals. She restrained all the negative feelings, and her face was relaxed, and sure enough, Ye Xiaoxiao was not as worried as she was just now.
Qiao Mingle received the news of the punishment early the next morning.
The punishment is divided into two parts, one is FIBA's punishment of her, which punished her for ten games, which is an international event; The other part is the punishment of the National Sports Center, which is also a ban, a three-month ban, and directly removed from the national youth team.
After getting the news of the punishment, Qiao Mingle breathed a sigh of relief, this was much better than she expected!
was removed from the national youth team, but she couldn't participate in the competition she was going to participate in this time, and she still had a chance to reorganize the national youth team next time there was a heavy event.
As for the ban, as long as it is not a lifetime ban, it is not a big deal for her.
She was worried that she would be removed from the Bayi team, after all, she was wearing a military uniform, and the army was the most disciplined place.
Compared to her punishment, the opponent's No. 9 departure was much stricter, she was asked to make a public apology, and was banned by FIBA for three years.
Three years is too long for an athlete, because three years can completely make a person decadent and there is no possibility of turning over.
But no one sympathizes with her, only that she is self-inflicted.
When the public apology was made, many media were present, and the No. 9 player cried very sadly, and Qiao Mingle was on the scene, recording the whole process of the opponent's apology with his eyes.
Afterwards, Qiao Mingle was called out by Gu Baili alone.
"This is over, and I don't want you to be affected anymore. Go back and train well, do you hear? Gu Baili patted her shoulder and said.
"You mean, let me go back to base first?" Qiao Mingle asked suspiciously.
"Why don't you go back? Now that the outside world has not paid attention to you, it is better for you not to appear in the public eye recently, and it is better to go back to practice physical fitness than to stay in a hotel all the time", Gu Baili sat opposite her, took out his work notes from his pocket casually, and said while flipping through them.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mingle still had the courage to say, "Coach Gu, I want to ask you for a few days off, okay?" (To be continued.) )
