Chapter 343: Critical Hit
Qiao Mingle was so tired that she didn't want to speak, no matter what Ye Xiaoxiao said, she snorted twice as a response.
Ye Xiaoxiao doesn't care if she doesn't reply or not, as long as she listens to her chatter.
Back in the Olympic Village, the team members only had a short rest before being called up by Lao Jia.
The purpose of the gathering is not to discuss the tactics of the next game against Team A, but to listen to the lectures of the big leader.
The head of the Olympic delegation personally came to cheer them on, so that they should not be discouraged and insist on playing the last game of the group stage.
Ye Xiaoxiao leaned over and whispered: "I heard that the results of several major ball games this year are not good, we still have a glimmer of hope for entering the top eight now, and there are already teams that will definitely not be able to enter the top eight, so the head of the regiment is so anxious to cheer us on, I am afraid that today's group big ball games will be wiped out."
What she said was the truth, and Qiao Mingle had heard about it.
The team ball event of the delegation of country Z in this Olympic Games has fallen into a strange circle, regardless of the group draw, the record is not good, and no team will definitely enter the next round so far.
"I have a very bad idea" Jing Jing also leaned over and whispered: "Anyway, everyone's record is not good, and our women's basketball team is not the worst, so we can be blamed a little less when the time comes."
This is a bad idea, but it is the most normal idea in this situation.
Qiao Mingle sighed, "Don't talk about this idle calf, let's fight one by one."
She didn't tell Ye Xiaoxiao and Jingjing, in fact, no matter how bad the results of other teams are, how many teams stand in front of the women's basketball team, there will be no fewer people who accuse the women's basketball team at that time.
I don't want to be told, the only way out is to go step by step and go to the end.
Team A is an old rival, and the two countries can meet in almost every international tournament.
Both teams are too familiar with each other's style of play, and it is precisely because of familiarity that this game is even more testing.
When formulating the tactical plan before the game, Lao Jia boldly adopted the policy of seeking change, changing the previous starting lineup, Qiao Mingle, Jing Jing and Ye Xiaoxiao were all replaced in the substitute lineup, and the Shen Dai defender who returned from injury started.
Lao Jia is also a helpless move, unchanged, with the original lineup and tactics and the opponent to the death, the winning rate is too small.
But even after adjusting the starting lineup and adjusting the tactical arrangement, the Z country team still exposed a lot of problems when facing the A country team.
The opposing team's young players have grown up, and the cooperation between the new and old players is more tacit than at the World Championships, and they are doing flawless both offensively and defensively.
In this way, the A national team, which has no loopholes, did not give the Z national team any chance to chase the score at all.
Even if Qiao Mingle played as a substitute player, the Iron Triangle also frequently played tacit cooperation, but these were far from enough.
In the end, Team Z still lost the game.
66:114, this is a critical blow to Team Z in the revenge battle of Team A, and it is a shame for Team Z.
After the game, the players didn't wait to go back to the locker room, they hugged each other and cried.
I don't want outsiders to see their tears, but I can't control it, even an athlete like Qiao Mingle, who has a strong psychological element and has seen strong winds and waves, can't help but have red eyes.
The post-match press conference was postponed until after the final two teams of the group stage.
Because the other two teams decide the winner, the ranking of the entire group can be discharged, and whether the Z country team can enter the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals depends on the results of the two teams in the next game.
If the stronger of the two teams wins, then the Z team will finish fourth in the group and enter the next round, if the weaker team wins, the weaker team will have the same number of points as Z and tie for fourth place.
The team leader wanted the team members who did not need to attend the press conference to take the bus back to the village first, and then notify them of the results.
Qiao Mingle had other plans in his heart.
She mentioned that the whole team stayed and watched the last group game live.
This is too much of a test of the psychological endurance of the players, but as an athlete, there are still aspiring athletes, how can the psychological quality be bad.
Lao Jia agreed to Qiao Mingle's suggestion.
The team leader got the tickets, and when the final game began, the players were already sitting in inconspicuous positions in the corner.
The watchers were more nervous than the players, and the girls held the hands of their teammates.
When the team they support scores a goal, they can't help but cheer quietly, and when the team they don't support scores, they stomp their feet nervously.
A game, which adds up to more than an hour, is a great torture for the players.
Especially in the last minutes of the final quarter, the scores of the two teams are still in a stalemate, and every ball can affect the final win or loss.
If it weren't for the team leader watching them, they might all have jumped up and cheered on the team they wanted to win.
They didn't do it, but the end result was good for them.
The strong team won and finished third in the group and advanced to the next round, while they helped Country Z hold on to the fourth place in the group and stumble into the quarterfinals.
The atmosphere at the post-match press conference was a bit odd, as it was a combination of four teams.
There were an unprecedented number of media on the scene, and the questions asked were also varied.
Although the Z national team is in the top eight of the risk, this step has finally been taken, and it has not disappointed the domestic fans too much, and the media can't find anything wrong for the time being.
The most asked questions were about the next match against the top of Group B.
The team that won Group B is very strong and is one of the teams that has been able to compete with the strong country A women's basketball team for many years.
Their players are tall, their movement speed is not slow, their style of play is fierce, they are both offensive and defensive, and their overall style is very similar to that of the A national team. But they don't have superstars like the A national team, and their starting five are average, and each one is difficult to deal with.
Based on the table Xiàn of the Z country team since the start of the game, they encounter such a strong opponent, and the chance of winning is extremely small.
Qiao Mingle summarized the reporters' questions and answered them together: "There are many variables in the game, just like we lost the game we shouldn't have lost before. The quarter-finals were against a very strong opponent and many people speculated that we would not be able to beat a strong opponent, but the final result is not known until the end of the match, and maybe we will create another variable."
She didn't say that the team would win, she didn't say that she would lose, and that was a very good answer.
The team leader couldn't help but give her a thumbs up below.
At the end of the press conference in a decent manner, the tired team members finally got on the bus back to the village.
Sitting on the not many comfortable seats, Qiao Mingle leaned softly on the back of the chair as if all his strength had been drained. (To be continued.) )
