Sun Yiping couldn't contain his excitement, and shouted in his characteristic sharp tone: "Win!" The Chinese team won! The Chinese team defeated the last World Championship champion Serbia and Montenegro men's basketball team at the last second, and entered the quarterfinals of the men's basketball competition of this Olympic Games with the first place in the group in history......"
On the court, the Chinese fans spontaneously sang the national anthem together, and the Chinese players stood in a row to celebrate this historic moment with the fans.
CCTV reporter Yu Jia finally interviewed Lu Fei.
Yu Jia: "First of all, congratulations to the Chinese men's basketball team on entering the quarterfinals, how do you feel now?" ”
Lu Fei said with a smile of excitement: "Thank you, but I think this victory should belong to all our men's basketball players and all Chinese fans who love basketball!" ”
"Who do you think was the biggest contributor to the victory in this game?"
Lu Fei's eyes looked at Battle, who was surrounded by his teammates: "Judging from the performance on the court, it must be Battle!" ”
"Is there an off-court factor?"
Off-pitch factors?
Lu Fei's heart moved, and he began to search for the white-haired man in the stadium, but he searched all over the venue but did not find the person he was looking for.
No one noticed that as the crowd cheered for victory, Harris walked back to the locker room alone.
Few people noticed Harris' departure, and all eyes and cameras were on the players who were cheering on the pitch as they created a comeback strike that was forgotten in that moment.
When you win, the player becomes the hero, and the coach is always the one who is unknown.
But when you lose, it's usually the coach who bears the blame.
The staff of the organizing committee told everyone to leave the stadium quickly, because there are still games to be played below, and the happiest person to say that China has won Serbia and Montenegro is the Italian team.
This is equivalent to dragging them back from the brink of death.
The next game was their match against Argentina, and after four quarters of battle, Italy won the game 76-75 as Ginobili broke through and threw a shot wide of the basket.
In this way, all the four qualifying teams in Group A have been released, and the ranking according to the group record is China, Spain, Argentina and Italy.
The Serbian and Montenegro team regretted to be out, and Lu Fei even felt that Radmanovic's eyes were full of grievances when he looked at him.
For some reason, a joke popped into his mind.
The table tennis coach said to Zhang Yining: "You let her have two balls." ”
Zhang Yining: "I let it, I didn't know she couldn't catch ......"
After the match between Italy and Argentina, it will be the final match of Group B.
Greece VS Puerto Rico.
The result of this match determines whether the Chinese team will face Greece or the United States in the quarter-finals!
If the Greek team wins, then Puerto Rico will be ranked third because it has won the United States before, the United States will be fourth, and China's next opponent will be the United States men's basketball team.
If Greece loses......
Don't think about it, Lu Fei knew that Greece would definitely win.
The leaders of the Chinese delegation have always disagreed with the victory of Serbia and Montenegro in this game, because the probability of meeting the United States team is too great.
In the end, Greece defeated Puerto Rico with a score of 78:58.
The teams that qualified from Group B are Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico and the United States.
According to the schedule, the teams facing the first group A and the fourth in group B will also be released accordingly for the four groups of quarter-finals.
China VS USA
Lithuania vs Italy
Spain vs Puerto Rico
Greece vs Argentina
No matter how garbage the Dream Six Team is, it's also a Dream Team......
The Chinese men's basketball team may still have the strength to fight against a strong team like Europe, but what I am most afraid of is to meet a team with strong individual strength like the American men's basketball team, because the individual ability of the Chinese team players is really limited.
Lu Fei gritted his teeth, no matter what, let's talk about it!
When he returned to the Olympic Village, the sky was full of stars, the quiet air was in stark contrast to the atmosphere on the field just now, Lu Fei took a deep breath, he felt that he was a contradiction, standing on the court he liked the feeling of blood rushing, but he preferred to be quiet when he rested.
Just hung up the phone with Gu Tang and chatted with Gu Tang about the recent situation, he likes Gu Tang's quietness, not noisy or noisy, there is always a faint warmth between the two of them.
Under the tree not far away, Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei went on their first date, and Lu Fei felt very much like the picture when he and Gu Tang went to the movie for the first time......
Walking back to the room, Yi Jianlian was not there, he should have gone to celebrate with his teammates, Lu Fei had his red jersey on the bed, and the red flag and conspicuous No. 10 on it reminded him of the first time he wore him.
Suddenly, Harris outside the door hurriedly walked by, Lu Fei went out to take a look, and saw that the direction Harris was going was the room of Yuan Weimin, the leader of the Olympic delegation.
Is it time to settle accounts?
……
Harris indifferently walked into Yuan Weimin's office, Yuan Weimin was smoking, he has a headache now, it stands to reason that the Chinese men's basketball team has entered the quarterfinals, and it should be a thing to celebrate, and today he also killed the opponent to win the game, shouldn't he be happier if he wins the game?
But he wasn't happy at all.
This ball shouldn't be killed!
"Coach Harris, you're here." Yuan Weimin said in English.
Harris nodded and glanced at the schedule on Yuan Weimin's table: "Is it because of today's game?" ”
"Yes, our plan was to lose this game, if we lose this game, then our opponent will be Greece, who are second in Group B, and we can fight for five or six places at worst, and now we have the United States, and if we lose, we will fight for seven or eight places." Yuan Weimin couldn't help but take a deep breath when he said this.
"I know." Harris said.
"Do you know how you can win this game? I've heard that you and Coach Younas had an argument because you insisted on winning this game? Yuan Weimin asked.
"Yes." Harris nodded.
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?" Yuan Weimin felt that his head was bigger.
"Consequences ......"
Harris groaned: "If you think that because of my decision, the Chinese men's basketball team will lose the opportunity to win good results, I am willing to resign as the men's basketball coach after the game, in fact, I was only going to take one summer." ”
It sounds irresponsible, but Yuan Weimin knows that Harris is telling the truth.
Harris did not take China's remuneration, the Chinese side only helped him pay for the round-trip air ticket, and even the video recorder was bought at his own expense, and repeatedly refused China's request for reimbursement.
"Can you tell me why I did that?" Yuan Weimin knew that the matter had come to this point, and he could only accept it.
Harris thought about it and said word by word: "Chinese basketball needs this victory......"
His voice was not loud, but he spoke every word very seriously.
Yuan Weimin was stunned.
