In each Olympic cycle, with the exception of the host team, which automatically qualifies for the Games, all teams must meet the requirements in a series of Olympic qualification tournaments in order to participate in the Games.

The World Championships are one of the Olympic qualifiers.

The winning teams in the men's and women's basketball teams can directly participate in the Olympics two years later.

Because the last Olympic cycle was held in country Z, the women's basketball team of country Z did not focus all its energy on qualifying for the Olympics, so the results of a series of Olympic qualifying tournaments were not very ideal.

This Olympic cycle is completely different.

Not only will Team Z have to find a way to qualify for the Olympics, but they will also have to withstand the pressure of the third-place finishers in the Olympics to strive for better results.

And better than the third place, only the runner-up and the champion.

Usually the players try not to think about this because they will be nervous and panicked.

After all, the pressure on athletes at the Olympics is unimaginable.

But the World Championships really began, and it was a matter of whether they could qualify for the Olympic Games, and some things that everyone could usually ignore naturally appeared, which made the players nervous again.

The tension spread, causing a lot of trouble to the players.

In the first group stage game of the World Championships against a team that is not very strong, the Z country team was unable to enter the state for a long time, and at the end of the first half, it was more than a dozen points behind the opponent.

They behaved so badly that Jasmin didn't even hold back his temper and yelled at them at halftime.

The team members also knew that they had problems, and they all bowed their heads and listened one by one.

After Lao Jia finished yelling, the team members began to adjust their state.

Qiao Mingle is a veteran player, more experienced, and automatically takes on the task of encouraging young athletes.

"Don't overthink it. In the second half, it's good to play at the level of normal training, it doesn't matter if you lose, no one asks us to win", Qiao Mingle said to Shen Yuan.

Shen Tui was the same as Ye Xiaoxiao when she first came to the national team to play, and she was so nervous that she was about to cry. In addition, her performance in the first half was really bad, and there were several mistakes alone, and she was already extremely disappointed at this time.

"Sister Qiao. I've heard that the national team will have to be re-selected after qualifying for the Olympics. You say that if I don't have a good performance, will I be brushed down when I reorganize the national team? Shen Tui asked with a crying voice.

It turned out that this was the source of her nervousness.

Qiao Mingle only said: "If you only think about the final gains and losses, you don't think of the previous efforts and struggles." Then you'll never be able to show that you're good. Try to think of the opponent as those stinky boys of the second men's basketball team, maybe it will be useful."

Yi Bian fought again, and Shen Tui's appearance was really much better, although it had not yet recovered to the level of normal training. For today's game, it's enough.

The rest of the team has also improved their form. Qiao Mingle's efficient passing skills finally came in handy, and her teammates turned her passes into scoring after point.

The chase battle started in the third quarter, and by the middle of the fourth quarter, the two teams were finally tied.

Second half measure. It was completely in the control of the Z country, and in the end, the Z team also won the first game of the group stage without danger.

There were ups and downs in the first game, and the second game was a lot more stable. Win by a wide margin.

The third match was against a strong team that had previously won the World Championship, in terms of hard power. The winning rate of the Z country team is not very large.

However, country Z has already won two group stage games, and even if they lose the last game, they can qualify from the group.

So the girls were very relaxed and only treated this game as a training match.

The fact is that the results of Jassamine's devil training and the relaxed mood of the players have brought unexpected results to everyone.

The Z national team defeated the strong team with a big score and entered the knockout round as the first place in the group.

In a match in the knockout round, the opponent is the second place in Group B, and the hard power is not as strong as that of the Z national team.

For the morale of the Z national team, it is not as difficult as imagined to win the opponent.

Sure enough, the Z team established a huge lead in the first three quarters, and ended the battle with a full bench lineup in the fourth quarter and successfully broke into the semifinals.

If you enter the semi-finals, if you win, you will have a chance to compete for the championship, and if you fail, the best result will only be third!

Their opponent is the host country J Nation.

On the day of the game, the scene was full, and the enthusiastic cries of the fans filled the entire stadium, igniting the enthusiasm of the opposing players!

Before the game, Shen Yi also joked, "Fortunately, we don't know J Chinese, otherwise we don't always listen to them cheer for our team, we can't be nervous to death."

"Yes, if you don't understand, just take their shouts as cheering for us," the captain said.

Only Qiao Mingle let out a long breath, and she couldn't ignore the shouts of the fans at all.

Because, she can understand J Mandarin.

J Chinese has a lot in common with the foreign language she learned, and she learned J Chinese by the way when she was learning a foreign language, and now she regrets it a little.

Who said that more skills are not pressing, it turns out that more will also bring pressure to yourself.

The fans of country J are so crazy that they keep shouting all kinds of slogans from the beginning of the game, and the shouts can tear the roof over.

This is also the craziest game that Qiao Mingle has encountered since he entered the industry.

She could understand what they were shouting, and despite her best efforts to adjust, she was still affected by something.

She is the heart of the team on the pitch and if she is not in form, it will be difficult to organise the positional attack. It is difficult to win a strong opponent by relying only on the strong attack of a single player.

Qiao Mingle also realized this and took the initiative to ask Lao Jia to take a break.

She needs to adjust her form, and if she continues like this, she will drag the whole team to death.

In the past, it was the other team members who had problems, and it was really rare for Qiao Mingle to do this.

The bench players came over to reassure her, to relax her, to let her not be stressed.

Qiao Mingle also reminded herself over and over again in her heart, ignoring the shouts of the fans and ignoring the qiē that interfered with her play.

But it's easy to walk into the labyrinth, but it's not easy to get out, and Qiao Mingle's psychological hints have no effect.

The first half was over, Qiao Mingle was still in a slump, Lao Jia asked her if she could play several times, but she shook her head and said she couldn't.

During the intermission, Ye Xiaoxiao and Jing Jing sat beside her left and right, wanting to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

They know Qiao Mingle best, she is light and there is no problem, once there is a problem, it will definitely be a big problem.

"I want to go out and make a call", Qiao Mingle suddenly stood up, walked up to Lao Jia and said.

Lao Jia frowned and looked at her for a while, and asked the translator to lend her the phone.

Things that are not related to the competition of athletes are generally placed in the locker room and will not be brought to the field, so Qiao Mingle can only use someone else's mobile phone if he wants to make a phone at this time.

She hid aside with her mobile phone and quietly broadcast a well-known number. (To be continued.) )
