The third game of the group stage was played in the afternoon, and the team also had a warm-up training session in the morning.

Warm-up training is open to the public, and this "outside" refers to the media and other teams.

Unexpectedly, the opponents who were going to play in the afternoon came to watch their training, which made the players very uncomfortable.

After an hour of warm-up training, everyone basically didn't even sweat, because most of the team members, especially the veteran players with a stronger desire to win, couldn't concentrate on training at all.

In this regard, Gu Baili only told the players, "Now you will be distracted, and you must not be distracted when you play for a while." Look good when shooting, but don't throw yourself in the basket, pay attention when passing, don't pass to the opponent, do you hear? ”

The players couldn't help laughing, everyone is not a beginner basketball player, how could they make such a low-level mistake.

Knowing that Gu Baili wanted them to relax a little, maybe they would have a better chance of winning if they played like they did in the last game against Country A.

The new players have also played two Olympic games, and their ability to adjust their mentality has improved a lot compared to before, and by the time the official competition comes, the players have no longer be anxious and overly nervous.

On the other hand, their opponents seem to have something wrong with their mentality.

Especially under the pressure of the home atmosphere, their performance is even worse.

The game was one-sided from the first quarter, with Team Z completely in control of the pace of the game.

By the time the fourth quarter was more than five minutes into the game, Team Z had already led its opponent by more than 20 points.

The opponent did not resist stubbornly, and changed to a full substitute lineup to play the remaining five minutes, and the Z country team also made a substitution.

"I didn't even think that this fight would be like this before the game!" When he sat down to rest, the captain, who has always been calm, couldn't help but sigh, "I still remember the game four years ago, until the minute before the whistle we were still thinking about how to catch up with the score, just like the first game we played, tired to death, but it was really interesting."

"Looks like you still like to play difficult games!" Qiao Mingle concluded.

The captain smiled and shook his head. "If it can be easily solved, who wants to face difficulties! But I think we athletes are freaks, and we really like difficult games, like today. There was no passion at all, and I almost fell asleep on the field."

She said a bit exaggerated, but the competition process did make Qiao Mingle feel very bored.

However, if she had to choose, she would rather play this kind of boring game for the rest of her life.

And now in the women's basketball teams of various countries around the world. Probably only the A national team can do this.

So far, the results of the group stage of the Z country team have far exceeded expectations, and if the following games are not out of the pool, it will not be a problem to enter the quarterfinals.

The players who had the home advantage did not miss anything, and in the end they finished second in the group with only one defeat in the group stage and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals.

Their opponents in the quarter-finals were third in the European Championships, and their strength should not be underestimated.

There is still a day before the game, Gu Baili did not arrange training, and left most of the time for the players to relax and rest, and the remaining little time was used to watch the opponent's game video, study the opponent's tactical play, and formulate the tactical strategy during the game.

The more critical the time. Gu Baili will give the team members more freedom, and when the meeting is held, the team members basically speak, and he only comes out to mediate when everyone is arguing due to disagreement.

It turned out that it was more efficient to brainstorm than to have a meeting with the coaching staff, and it didn't take long for everyone to work out a set of tactics that would work out for the opponent.

Gu Baili was also very satisfied with this, and waved his hand, "Tomorrow afternoon, the game will be in the morning, and there will be an hour of warm-up training in the morning." That's all for today, go back and relax."

When Qiao Mingle returned to the dormitory, he leaned to the bed, his body curled up in a ball. He looked very painful.

"Qiao Mingle, what's wrong with you? Her face is so pale", Ye Xiaoxiao was the first to notice her strangeness, and asked anxiously while testing the temperature of her forehead with the back of her hand: "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Don't worry about me", Qiao Mingle took her hand off her forehead. Weak and helpless, he smiled, "My relatives made a joke with me!" ”

Ye Xiaoxiao was a little speechless, "Isn't it calculated that you won't come, what can you do now?" ”

The menstrual cycle of the athletes is recorded, and the staff of the team will make appropriate arrangements for the athletes according to the time of the game and the cycle record.

According to previous records, Qiao Mingle should not come to the eldest aunt until after the Olympics. So the team didn't care about her.

Now that her aunt is not only in advance, but she also has menstrual pain, which will have a great impact on her and the team.

"Did you talk to the team? I must say this, so that Old Man Gu can prepare early", Jing Jing also came over and said.

Qiao Mingle moved his body to make himself lie more comfortable.

"I've had experience and this has happened before. When I felt that something was wrong, I told Old Man Gu, and he asked me what I meant, and he supported me no matter how I chose. Later, I went to the team doctor and he said that he could prescribe me a little painkiller before the game, which is absolutely safe, and I don't want to miss such a crucial game."

"You are really a disaster, if we don't win a medal in this Olympics, we can't afford your aunt who came to join in the fun!" Ye Xiaoxiao said bitterly.

Qiao Mingle also smiled, "Yes, even the eldest aunt has come to join in the fun, it seems that I am going to be popular." ”

Qiao Mingle, who is already very popular, did shine in this game.

She didn't score much in the game, but every point she scored was a crucial one when the team was in trouble. She contributed seventeen assists, a number that also broke her assist record.

In the end, the team won by a narrow margin and managed to reach the semi-finals.

This is already the best result of the Z national team in the past four Olympic Games, and it is only two steps away from the best result in the history of the Z national team - the Olympic silver medal.

They have achieved the goals set for them by the basketball center before the game, but they will never be satisfied.

They are ambitious and want more.

Qiao Mingle's aunt was menacing, and she left very suddenly, and she disappeared in only two days.

For the sake of her body, the team also specially invited an old Chinese medicine doctor, and the final conclusion was that she was nervous about the competition and caused endocrine disorders, which led to the eldest aunt.

Everyone was surprised by this, because Qiao Mingle had always looked quite calm, and she didn't expect that the most nervous person would be her.

"Qiao Mingle, you hide deep enough, you, I told you in the first game that my legs were going to cramp, I thought I was useless, but I didn't expect you to ......"

"I had cramps before you said that. If you want to laugh, just laugh, don't hold back your internal injuries", Qiao Mingle said with a broken jar.

"Poof", Jing Jing and Ye Xiaoxiao laughed very unkindly.

Quiet even hugged his stomach and laughed on the bed. (To be continued.) )
