Chapter 255: Under the Fury (2-in-1 Chapter)
"You are very good, every game is very good", Gu Baili smiled slightly, and said very seriously: "You have to believe in yourself, believe that you can one day create the history of the largest score difference with your teammates, you have great potential, and what you are showing now is only a small part of it, and the rest needs to be slowly explored." ”
I thought he would point out the problem of Qiao Mingle, but what he didn't expect to get was praise.
Although Gu Baili is usually very easy to get along with, he is also very easy-going, and he basically does not criticize athletes, but he rarely praises anyone, let alone says so many words of praise like now.
After praising Qiao Mingle, his eyes fell on the captain again, and his smile deepened a little, "You are a good captain, I have always been very relieved of you......"
There were twelve people in the team, and he said them one by one, all of them were words of praise.
Even the most inconspicuous athlete on the team can name several excellent diǎn in her, some of which are not even noticed by the athlete himself.
After commenting one by one, he finally concluded: "You see, each of you is not a useless being, each of you has advantages that others cannot replace, so don't feel sorry for yourself, cheer up, and get ready to play the next game, children."
His evaluation of the players gave everyone a boost of confidence, and they were no longer as wilted as before.
After the meeting, the team members went back to their dormitories to rest.
Qiao Mingle received a call from Kang Chuxiu.
"I'm on the commercial street in the international area of the Olympic Village, can I come out?" Kang Chuxiu asked in a low voice.
"At today's press conference. I see you", Qiao Mingle replied, but Kang Chuxiu guessed what she meant.
"So, you don't want me to comfort you?" He asked with a smile.
"Hmm", she replied softly, explaining: "It's okay now, I'm afraid I can't help crying when I see you, it's not good." Let's meet again after the game is over, call Chen Bowen and the others, we haven't gotten together for a long time."
Kang Chuxiu sighed distressedly. In the end, it is to understand her. He didn't say much, "You have a good rest, I'll go live to watch you play".
hang-up electricity ∧dǐng∧diǎn∧小∧ says,.2≧3.o+s_(); With that, Qiao Mingle fell on the bed. Hold your phone to your chest. The slightly hot temperature is like the temperature of Kang Chuxiu's palm. It made her feel extra relieved.
After a short break, the bronze medal battle of the women's basketball team at the Olympic Games finally arrived.
The bronze medal match was followed by the high-profile gold medal match, in which Team A competed for the gold medal with the team that won the 34th of the national team in the previous game.
Originally, the bronze medal match was just an appetizer before the main meal. However, because of the participation of the national team, the atmosphere at the bronze medal match was still very warm, and the attendance rate on the court even reached 100%.
Before the official start of the game, the players began to warm up on the field. The fans in the audience were already boiling.
Losing by 34 points in the last game is not only a shame for the national women's basketball team, but also a shame for the national women's basketball fans.
They can't play for the players, they can't direct the game like a coach, all they can do is cheer for the players as much as they can.
Kang Chuxiu also came as promised, this time he did not sit in the corner as before, but sat in a better seat with Leng Qiang, Chen Bowen, Si Nan, and Xiao Se.
They have a good vision and are able to catch every move of the players on the field.
In the same way, they can be seen clearly by the players on the field.
When Qiao Mingle looked up and saw Kang Chuxiu, who was staring at her intently, a certain part of her heart was lightly hit.
She smiled at him and returned her head.
Kang Chuxiu didn't laugh.
He must be more nervous than Qiao Mingle on the field now, and the hands on his knees were already shaking uncontrollably.
"Chu Xiu, are you okay?" The delicate Sinan was the first to notice that something was wrong with him and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous," Kang Chuxiu replied honestly.
"I'm nervous too", Leng Qiang answered: "Xiaoxiao called me this morning, saying that she couldn't sleep last night, and I don't know what she can do today." Ya, I really want to go up and drag her down and I'll beat her for her! ”
"I'm not worried that Lele won't play well, I'm just worried that she will work too hard", Kang Chuxiu's eyes were still glued to Qiao Mingle, and at this time, the whistle for the start of the game had sounded, and she had already entered the fighting state.
Xiao Se, who was sitting beside Sinan, asked puzzledly, "It's not good to fight?" How can you win without fighting? ”
Kang Chuxiu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid she doesn't want anything but to win."
Xiao Se still didn't understand, and was about to ask again, but was stopped by Sinan's look.
Sinan gently held his hand and whispered, "The ball game has started, let's concentrate on watching the ball."
Before the game, the players were ready to deal with the difficulties, but they did not expect that the difficulties were much greater than they expected.
The opponent is also a strong team, and has repeatedly broken into the top three in the World Championships and the Olympic Games. This time their goal is no exception, which is to win a medal.
The desire to win is the same, in terms of overall strength, the national team is worse, and it is too difficult to win the game in such a situation.
For the girls of the national team, all they can do is play their own style, attack sharply, and defend tightly.
In the same way, opponents know that in order to win the game, they must do both offensively and defensively.
And at the beginning, the first to achieve a balance between offense and defense is the opponent.
Their players are very good in physique, and they also occupy the height advantage, and the pace under their feet is not slow, so they can cope well with it no matter whether the national team accelerates or slows down the pace.
On the other hand, the national team did not respond in a timely manner to the opponent who has always been rough in his style of play, and suddenly became delicate and patient.
It's only 40 minutes in a game, and every minute counts.
It was only the first three minutes of the national team before they got into the groove. It's already seven points behind its opponents!
The captain looked at Gu Baili several times and wanted him to call a timeout, but Gu Baili only stood on the sidelines and did not react.
"What now?" When the opposing player fouled the defense and his teammates made free throws, he quietly leaned over and asked Qiao Mingle.
Qiao Mingle wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and in this tense state, it was difficult for her body to warm up. If her body is not hot, she will not be able to reach a state of excitement, a state of excitement. It's hard for her to play a good game.
"Don't worry. It's always going to be fine", Qiao Mingle stared at the basketball and said in a deep voice.
Quiet didn't say anything more and focused on the basketball as well.
Just after she turned her head. Qiao Mingle suddenly slapped himself twice.
She used seventy percent of her strength. A fair, delicate face swelled up in an instant.
People on and off the pitch tend to focus on the person with the ball. No one noticed her almost self-harming behavior, but Kang Chuxiu, as well as Chen Bowen and others sitting next to Kang Chuxiu, saw it!
"Is Qiao Mingle crazy!" Chen Bowen stood up excitedly the moment she started.
"Don't get excited". Leng Qiang pressed him back into the seat, "We usually do the same when we train, we must stimulate our body and make ourselves as excited as possible, so that we can stimulate the potential of our body and make movements that we can't do under normal conditions."
Chen Bowen looked at Leng Qiang incredulously, "What do you do, what does she do, how can it be the same?" She's not going to ......"
"It's all the same", Leng Qiang interrupted him, and said solemnly: "For Qiao Mingle, what she is doing now is the same as what I did before, and we all want to complete our own tasks."
Chen Bowen was silent, he didn't really understand what Leng Qiang said. In his opinion, a competition is a competition, even if it is a bronze medal battle in the Olympic Games, it is just a relatively important competition, as long as you work hard and are worthy of your heart, why bother to hurt yourself to stimulate your body like Qiao Mingle.
He didn't understand, and neither did Sinan and Xiao Se.
I am afraid that the only ones who really understand her are Leng Qiang and Kang Chuxiu, who are soldiers.
Watching Qiao Mingle beat himself up, Kang Chuxiu was very calm, he didn't stand up as excited as Chen Bowen, nor did he show an expression of disbelief like Sinan and Xiao Se.
But this is just a cover-up.
He was distressed and worried.
What he is most worried about is that Qiao Mingle works too hard, and he can give up anything in order to win, this almost "suicidal" style of play, he really can't accept it!
But what can be done?
He couldn't stop her, he just wanted her to protect herself and not get hurt.
It's just that with Qiao Mingle's current lifeless style of play, can he not get hurt?
Under the opponent's strict defense, she almost threw her body into the air every time she broke through to the restricted area, and the opponent was blown for a foul if he moved, and she had a chance to go to the basket if the opponent didn't move, and she had a chance to score in both cases.
Regardless of whether the opponent moves or not, the body that is thrown into the air will also fall down and fall heavily on the floor.
"Qiao Mingle, are you okay?" After Qiao Mingle was viciously fouled by the opponent for a layup, she fell heavily to the ground and didn't get up for several seconds, and her teammates came over to ask about her situation.
This was her fifth fall in the first quarter.
"It's okay", Qiao Mingle stood up with the help of his opponent, gasped with his hands on his knees, and looked up at the scoreboard.
The national team is still two points behind, only two points behind.
Grit your teeth and catch up!
The referee awarded the opponent a defensive foul, and Qiao Mingle got two free throws.
She didn't have a soft hand, hit both free throws, and tied it!
"Good job, guys," she shouted to her teammates.
The continuous pursuit of points and Qiao Mingle's dedication made the players rekindle their fighting spirit.
With a good run and a positive defense, Qiao Mingle can always find the most suitable opportunity to pass the ball to his best-positioned teammate and create a score.
By the end of the first quarter, the national team had a four-point lead over its opponents.
From seven points behind to four points over, it took them just over six minutes.
During the intermission, Gu Baili rearranged the tactics for the players and readjusted the players on the court.
He didn't let Qiao Mingle play.
"Coach, I ......"
Before Qiao Mingle finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Baili, "You are only twenty-two years old, twenty-one years old, and you will have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games in the future, don't lose your playing capital!" ”
Qiao Mingle knew what he meant, and she also knew that Old Man Gu was thinking about her, but she couldn't agree with Gu Baili's idea.
"Coach Gu, I know what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm not impulsive, I'm very clear in my head right now. You let me keep playing, I don't know if I have a chance to play in the next Olympics, I just know that this is my last competition at this Olympics and I want to hold on until the last minute."
She was stubborn, and no one could convince her.
After the start of the second quarter, she was back on the court.
The team has broken through the curse of being suppressed by the opponent at the beginning of the first quarter, and the play has become more and more stable.
Qiao Mingle didn't have to carry out her method of throwing herself to score points.
Of course, the strength of the opponent is there, and they have not given up, so it will not be easy for the national team to win this game.
The two teams were evenly matched in the quarter, and the national team led by five points at the end of the first half.
Five points, if your team has a problem or the opponent plays a counterattack, it is easy to catch up.
Therefore, the girls of the national team did not dare to take it lightly.
At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides deliberately strengthened their defenses, and the score began to slow down.
However, the adjusted pair of watches was still slightly better than the national team, and at the end of the quarter, they were only one point behind the national team.
Who will win the bronze medal in women's basketball at this Olympic Games depends on the last ten minutes.
"Their outside shooting rate is always not good, this aspect can be put first, and the inside line must be in place", before the start of the fourth quarter, Gu Baili said to everyone: "Pay attention to the scale of defense, don't be too aggressive, do you hear?" ”
He said this mainly to Jing Jing, because she got into a physical altercation with an opposing player in the third quarter of the game, for which she was also awarded a technical foul.
Quiet diǎndiǎn head, "Coach, don't worry, I was just hot in the head just now, and now it's over!" ”
She promised very well, but when she really got to the game, in a state of overexcitement, it was difficult for people to control themselves.
Quiet tore up with the opposing player again when the opponent made a malicious foul and the referee did not blow the penalty.
The opponent made the first move and gave a punch to the quiet stomach.
The players of the national team were of course not happy to see this scene, and they ran over to reinforce the quiet, and the opposing players were not to be outdone, and the atmosphere on the court became tense for a while.
Qiao Mingle struggled to squeeze to the front of the national team players, and was injured several times during the process.
She pushed her own players with her hands, trying to get everyone out of the circle and calm down.
But where are the players under the anger so easy to control, and some people shouted, "Qiao Mingle, who are you helping?" ”
Qiao Mingle was furious, she worked so hard before, and even took the risk of rushing forward even when she knew that she might be injured, wasn't it all for the honor of the team. And now, some people have questioned her feelings for the team and her teammates!
"Give me a calm, you want to be embarrassed yourself, don't be embarrassed by this national flag!" She grabbed the flag on her chest and yelled at her teammates, who were still in a rage. (To be continued.) )
