Chapter 206: A fiery red
"The credit or fault is not what the leader above said, it should be the fans, so let's just do our best to play well, win wonderfully, even if we lose, we have to lose beautifully, we don't have to be afraid of anything", the captain stood up at the right time to appease everyone's feelings.
Qiao Mingle never said a word, although she also had resentment in her heart, but she also knew very well that there were many things that she personally and even all the members of the team would not change if they worked together. It's useless to complain, so why focus on these useless things, it's better to save some effort to prepare for the game.
In addition to athletes, the Z national team also includes members of the coaching staff, logistics support personnel and team leaders, etc., counting more than 50 people, just chartered a flight.
There is a time difference of more than ten hours between countries A and Z, and after going there, the players have to reverse the jet lag, and after the jet lag, they have to go through adaptation training, and then they will face the first opponent of the four-nation tournament - the national team of European powerhouse P.
The national team of country P has won the European championship, the style of play is fierce and delicate, the outside line is particularly strong, the center stands outside the three-point line and dares to shoot three points without hesitation, and the shooting rate is not low. It would be terrible if this team went crazy, because everyone in their team was a sharpshooter.
Before the game, Greg deliberately trained for the opponent's tough outside line. The training venue is in a university in city L in country A, and Greg asked the organizing committee to conduct closed training, that is, he hopes that no outsiders will disturb him during the training process.
I don't know if it was due to the improper arrangement of the organizing committee or the inadequate security measures of the training hall, but less than 20 minutes after the training, a group of young people from country A broke in.
They spoke loudly and laughed loudly, and they didn't pay attention to the national team of country Z, which was still training.
The interpreter used to communicate with them and let them out, but they not only did not listen to the persuasion but also started beating people.
The staff of the Z national team hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and the two groups of people faced each other, and they were about to fight in a group.
The process lasted a lot, and the security personnel of the training hall never showed up.
The athletes are more angry. Especially for a naturally short-tempered person like Quiet, he feels that he can bear it if he is bullied, so he has to rush forward.
Fortunately, he was stopped in time, "You went to fight in the past and got injured again." Will you be able to play the next game? Someone persuaded.
"A group of grandchildren, I can't understand what **ingZ means even if I don't speak a good language! If the uncle doesn't teach them a lesson today, they won't know what will happen if they open their mouths and be blind! "Quiet tried to break away from his teammates and rushed up.
Quiet foreign language is not good, and can only understand the two words spoken by Xiao Young. Qiao Mingle's foreign language is good. She understood everything they said.
It was precisely because she understood that the anger in her heart was even stronger.
But she didn't rush forward like Quiet, because she knew that if she rushed over and fought with the other party, nothing would be solved.
This is not the first time she has encountered discrimination, nor is it the first time that someone has maliciously insulted country Z, the people of country Z, and her nation in front of her.
The last time was on the field, the opposing player scolded them for being the pigs of country Z, and she fought with the opponent, for which she was also banned from the game.
It was on the field. In addition to winning the competition, she should let everyone know about the unfair treatment they have suffered, and that they have been discriminated against and insulted.
The current situation is different, it is not the opponent who provokes them, but the people of country A, and it is obvious that violence will not solve the problem, but will worsen the situation.
They're athletes, and the best way to fight back against them is to try to play well. As for the rest, it can only be left to the team's staff.
The tense atmosphere lasted for more than half an hour, and the security personnel of the training hall finally arrived. Kicked out the troublemakers.
The coaching staff was very angry, and one by one shouted that they wanted to react to the organizing committee and must give an explanation to the Z national team.
Zhou Zheng asked everyone to calm down first, and the training time was limited. The athlete's training should be the first priority, and they can discuss other things in private. The most important thing is that many things cannot be said in front of the athletes, the athletes are already under a lot of pressure in the face of the competition, and these things that have nothing to do with the competition should be the responsibility of the team leader and team leader.
Greg is the most calm in the whole team, he is a foreign coach after all. The insulting words that the group had just said had nothing to do with him.
He organized the team members to continue training, and when he saw that the team members were very angry one by one, he didn't have the heart to train, so he had to gather everyone together and said to the team members:
"I coached a team before, and because of ethnicity, religion, etc., the players not only had to face discrimination from the outside world, but also faced incomprehension and even violence from their family and friends. Can you imagine what they have to face when they go abroad to play a game? You're lucky compared to them. Because your country does not discriminate against women, your country is very strong, and when you are treated unfairly, the country will be your strong support, and it will find a way to make people who discriminate against you say 'sorry'. And now, the only thing you can do is train and compete! ”
A few words calmed down the players, and the athletes had a strong sense of honor, especially when fighting for the country.
Greg's few words aroused the national pride and honor of the players, no one wants to lose, and no one wants to lose face for their country!
The basketball atmosphere in country A is much better than that in country Z, but in general it is much worse than that of men's basketball.
When the Z team played against P country, the attendance rate of the stadium reached more than 50 percent, and most of them were Z and P people who worked, studied or moved to country A.
Before the game, I told Qiao Mingle quietly, and what can make the players more enthusiastic in foreign competitions is the fiery red in the audience.
She didn't feel so deeply when the national youth team went abroad to compete, because there were fewer people in the youth competition, but this time, she really felt what "that piece of fire" meant by quietly.
At the flag-raising ceremony before the game, when the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, all the Z people on the scene stood up and paid attention to the national flag and sang the national anthem.
Qiao Mingle took the lead with a thirst for victory, and from the beginning of the game, the Z country team executed Greg's tactical arrangement well. The defense is in place, the offense is strong, and the score has been biting the opponent. (To be continued.) )
