"If you lose something in the Olympic Village, you still lose your sneakers, who will believe it!" After counting the items in the dormitory, he quietly complained: "The security of the Olympic Village is so good that someone can burglarize, I guess that thief is either stealth or can drill holes." ”

Ye Xiaoxiao also added, "A thief with such a big skill came in just to steal our Lele's basketball shoes." ”

Qiao Mingle lay on his back on the bed, with a headache to death, "I was afraid of losing my shoes again, so I put the shoes on the two of you, and the captain also put a pair of them, but I didn't expect the thief to even let the captain go." I lost six pairs of shoes for the third time, and I wouldn't be happy if the team sat back and watched me go any longer, and I couldn't just ignore my shoes for the sake of my reputation as bullshit. ”

"The team won't let the police, what can you do? You can't do it to find a thief, and the key question now is, how can you compete without shoes? Let's play against country B at half past two tomorrow afternoon, the opponent is the same strength as us, you just have to fight without shoes! "Silence immediately captures the crux of the matter.

Qiao Mingle sat up from the bed with a wail, took out his mobile phone and began to call Chen Bowen, now he only hopes that Chen Bowen can think of a way.

"Qiao Mingle, it was enough to prepare five pairs of shoes for you in a year before, but now you have lost six pairs in half a year, but you really have you", Chen Bowen said after listening to the ins and outs of the matter.

"I don't have time to argue with you right now, so you just say you don't have any shoes there, I'll have a game tomorrow afternoon, and if so, I'll have your staff catch a plane to send them to me." If not, I can still ask the team to get me two pairs of basketball shoes at random," Qiao Mingle said with some irritation.

Chen Bowen stopped joking, and replied seriously: "You call Kang Chuxiu, he told me about losing your shoes before." I'm afraid that something like this will happen again and catch you off guard, so he has already ordered a batch of shoes from me, and he should have brought them."

Qiao Mingle immediately hung up the phone and called Kang Chuxiu, and sure enough, as Chen Bowen said, Kang Chuxiu was afraid that she would lose her shoes again, so he specially brought her two pairs of basketball shoes for her to spare this time.

"Losing your shoes may seem like a small thing, but it can have a big impact on you and the basketball team. The team wanted not to call the police for the overall glory of the Olympic Games. You can't break the rules, so I'll negotiate with the police and try to find out the thief without alarming the outside world. I'll deliver the shoes in a moment. Don't worry! ”

"Okay, it's all up to you", at this time, Qiao Mingle just wants to play well, and he doesn't want to have the energy to worry about other things. So with Kang Chuxiu behind her to help her with advice, she couldn't ask for it.

Kang Chuxiu came quickly, handed her the shoes and left in a hurry without saying a few words to her.

Qiao Mingle knew that he was afraid of affecting her. With just his heart, she should play hard!

On the day of the game, the basketball hall was full, and the audience was already excited by the volunteers who had an active atmosphere before the game began.

All members of the team. It was the first time that veteran athletes, including those who had already participated in the Olympic Games, felt the excitement of a home game at the Olympics.

And that's just the group stage!

Perhaps there is no second chance to experience this atmosphere in the lifetime of any athlete, which makes everyone feel excited and inevitably nervous.

Nervousness makes people more focused. At the same time, it will also make the muscles of the body become stiff, and the body cannot keep up with the brain.

"What to do? Before I even started the race, I was going to have cramps in my calves." When warming up before the game, Ye Xiaoxiao leaned over to Qiao Mingle and whispered.

Qiao Mingle soothed: "Don't think so much, treat the fans on the scene as turnips, and keep your eyes on the ball and the players you want to defend."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked around the court, looking at the radishes dancing and excited, and her nervous feelings were not alleviated.

In fact, Qiao Mingle was also nervous to death, her calf had already cramped once before.

However, all the tension gradually disappeared after the start of the game, because the players had no time to be nervous, and the opponent was on a par with the Z national team, and it was crucial to beat the opponent if they were to qualify for the group stage.

Obviously, the opponent did a better job of dealing with the tension than the Z team, and played a 3:0 at the beginning, so that the girls of the Z team had to give 120 points of concentration to the game.

The first achievement of the Z national team in the offensive aspect was the three-point shot, and the meritorious person was Qiao Mingle.

She hit two three-pointers in three rounds of offense and also assisted on a teammate's three-pointer to quickly overtake her opponent.

It's hard to win a game with a reliable three-point shot, especially when the opponent isn't weak, because no one can guarantee that a game will feel so hot for 40 minutes.

It is necessary to rely on positional battle control to achieve victory.

Clearly, the players were aware of this, and even after taking an 18-15 lead in the first quarter with accurate three-pointers, everyone was still worried.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the opponent strengthened the outside defense, and several outside three-pointers were defended by the opponent, while the opponent used the height advantage to grab the rebound and quickly organize a counterattack.

Halfway through the second quarter, Team Z had gone from leading by three points to trailing by five points.

Gu Baili was forced to call a timeout, asking everyone to quickly adjust their state and rearrange the game tactics.

Unfortunately, the effect is not ideal.

Z finished the first half with a nine-point deficit.

At halftime, the players were a little listless, but Gu Baili was quite optimistic, and said to the players: "All cheer up, there are still twenty minutes, what's the hurry." If you play at the level you usually train, it won't be a problem to beat your opponents. The point is that you haven't found the right point for the best score right now, take your time to find it, there is still time."

After appeasing the team members, he explained a few words to a few team members alone, and finally called Qiao Mingle to his side, "Why didn't you break through in the first half?" ”

"I sudden!" Qiao Mingle replied with a straight face, "Burst in to pull the defense, and then pass the ball to an unguarded teammate to create a shooting opportunity."

Breaking through the ball, this is one of Qiao Mingle's better playing styles.

Gu Baili shook his head, "When you have a chance to break through and score, why don't you score by yourself?" ”

"Collective projects, not ......"

Gu Baili waved his hand and interrupted her, "There must always be someone who opens the deadlock first to unite everyone." Use your feet to break through to the penalty area and score directly or make a foul. ”

Qiao Mingle nodded, she understood what Gu Baili meant.

When she was in the Bayi team, she was the captain of the team, and what she often did was to break the deadlock. Now in the national team, she used to think that this was also the responsibility of the captain, but she completely ignored one point, the position of the captain and her calm and flexible style of play, she shouldered such a responsibility!

Qiao Mingle suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and whether the entire Z country team could win a game in the home Olympics depends on the twenty minutes of the second half. (To be continued.) )
