The average height of the Z country team has been ranked in the top five among the participating teams, but compared with the team with the first average height, they are like a group of dwarfs on the court.

Of course, being short also has the advantage of being short, and the relative flexibility is higher. Both teams were in a state of flux again, and the game was in a stalemate from the start.

A close game is the most difficult to play, because both players have to do well in both offense and defense to have any hope of winning the game, which is very demanding on the overall quality and fitness of the players.

With just over six minutes to play in the first quarter, the players on the court were already tired, and both coaches had to make substitutions.

Qiao Mingle came on as a substitute at the back. Since the start of the World Junior Championships, she has played around 15 minutes per game, which is good for a substitute.

Moreover, when she came off the bench, she performed very well, although she was not able to turn the tide and change the team's decline, at least she did not let the score continue to be pulled away.

As soon as she came on the pitch in this game, she felt very bad.

Depressed and dull, all kinds of suffocating emotions came one after another, making her chest suffocate for no reason.

The opponent served, and Qiao Mingle followed the player she wanted to defend inch by inch. Basketball is a sport that requires physical confrontation, and physical contact is essential, but everyone knows that even physical contact is necessary to have a degree, and if you do too much, you will make mistakes.

The opposing player was completely restrained by Qiao Mingle's close marking, and in the process of moving quickly, he finally found an opportunity to catch the ball, but he didn't want Qiao Mingle, who had been left behind her, suddenly dodged and grabbed the ball at a very fast speed.

A perfect tackle. Almost before the opposing player came to his senses, he made a long pass and passed the ball to Ye Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting for the opponent's basket in the early tacit understanding.

Goal in, two points!

The audience with low attendance burst into warm applause, and fans held high the national flag and shouted "come on".

The team's momentum rose in an instant, but before Qiao Mingle could be happy, his body was suddenly hit by someone hard, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell directly to the ground.

The body of more than 1.7 meters fell heavily to the ground. She didn't use her elbows or wrists to support her. Because this could have the same consequences as a stricter one.

"Qiao Mingle, are you okay?"

"Do you want to call the team doctor?"

The players came over to ask about her, and the referee came to ask what had just happened.

Qiao Mingle lay on the ground. His hands were clenched into fists, and he exhaled deeply for several times, but the fire in his heart was still not extinguished.

She stood up from the ground, her eyes falling on the opponent she had been targeting.

"What did you just say? Do you dare to say it again? She asked, not much fluent in English.

The team member shrugged indifferently. Obviously there is no intention to repeat.

Just when everyone was wondering what had happened just now, Qiao Mingle suddenly stepped forward. Tiptoe up and grab your opponent's collar and pull her whole body towards him.

Such a move should never be seen on a basketball court, where the referees and players on both sides come to pull them.

Qiao Mingle's hand was clenched to death, and several people didn't pull it away.

She looked at her opponent fixedly. Gritting his teeth, he said in Chinese: "We can lose the game, because competitive sports are like that, there are wins and there are losses." If we can be honest about failure, we can succeed step by step! I allow you to express your displeasure with me personally. But you insult my team, insult my country, I absolutely do not allow reads();! ”

The opponent's neck was strangled by his clothes, but after only a while, his face was already flushed, and there was a faint tendency to roll his eyes.

Qiao Mingle's anger has not subsided, and no one will let go of her.

"Qiao Mingle, let go", at this time, an old voice suddenly came from the chaotic crowd, it was Gu Baili.

He didn't step forward, just stood calmly on the periphery of the crowd, but everyone could feel that he was angry.

"Lele, I don't want your sports career to be ruined, let go quickly!" Ye Xiaoxiao squeezed to her side and whispered.

Qiao Mingle gradually calmed down, pushed the opponent away with his hand, the opponent staggered to the ground, and the opposing players and referees went to check the situation over there, and there were a lot fewer people around Qiao Mingle.

"What's going on?" Gu Baili walked over and asked in a deep voice.

Without waiting for Qiao Mingle to answer, he patted her on the shoulder, "You need to calm down."

In fact, even if Qiao Mingle didn't want to be calm, she couldn't do it, because she was directly sent out by the referee!

Before the game, Qiao Mingle whispered a few words to the captain in a low voice, and the captain rubbed her head, "Don't worry, this game will definitely be won!" ”

The next three quarters of the game Qiao Mingle was watched on the TV in the locker room, and as the captain said before, they won, won the opponent, and ensured that the group stage appeared.

But Qiao Mingle also knew that no matter what reason she did with the opposing team, she would inevitably accept punishment.

However, she has no regrets, and even if she does it again, she will not regret it.

After the game, the players came to the locker room to change clothes, and when they saw Qiao Mingle, they all came over to hug her and comfort her.

"You don't have to worry, I don't blame you for this matter, if FIBA or the National Sports Center dares to ban you, we will jointly write to you to seek justice", Ye Xiaoxiao said proudly: "Ya, if I hear that rabbit cub talk like that, I also want to beat her!" ”

Qiao Mingle smiled, "Things shouldn't be so bad, you guys clean up quickly, the captain still has to attend the press conference, and after the press conference, we will go back to the hotel." ”

It's customary to hold a press conference after the game, and there were all the previous games, but there weren't many reporters and media who came, and they just went through the motions.

Qiao Mingle and the players originally stayed in the locker room, but they were later called to the press conference by Gu Baili.

When she entered the news hall, she was stunned, and the small hall was crowded with people, including CCTV, local, domestic, international, print media and television, and online platforms......

"Can you handle the reporter's questions?" Gu Baili asked in a low voice.

Qiao Mingle turned his head to look at him, a little puzzled, "Is this your own meaning, or the leader's meaning?" ”

Gu Baili smiled meaningfully and patted her shoulder, "It's not important, restoring the truth is the top priority." ”

"Don't worry, I can handle it!" Qiao Mingle nodded. (To be continued.) )
