"Have you ever imagined what it would be like to stand on the stage of the finals?"

"Feelings? Of course, I imagined standing on that stage more than once. ”

"But you still failed, didn't you?"

"Hmmm......"

"Did you not expect that your first Olympic career would end so quickly?"

"Well, don't say it, okay? Let's change the question. ”

"I'm sorry!"

"It's fine."

……

Meng Xiaohao really didn't expect that his first Olympic trip would end like this, and everything came so suddenly, catching him off guard.

The strength of the American team surpassed Meng Xiaohao's cognition, and he still underestimated those guys.

No, it's not so much that I underestimate them, but that I think too highly of my own people.

Meng Xiaohao is facing Brooke, the strength of the two of them is equal, so they did not distance themselves, but the other team members are not like Meng Xiaohao, the gap between them and the American team is still very large, and the Spanish team is not at the same level at all, and the Spanish team is not at the same level compared to them.

The Chinese team lost very well, because they really didn't have the strength to fight against the American team.

Meng Xiaohao didn't want to face defeat because he was the only player in the entire Chinese team who didn't lose.

50 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists......

Meng Xiaohao tried his best, and even set a record for the highest single-game score in the history of the Chinese team, but it didn't help, Sanying defeated Lu Bu, not to mention that Meng Xiaohao was not Lu Bu yet.

Meng Xiaohao didn't want to accept this fact, but he had to.

He was so powerless on the field, he could only watch the players of the American team break through their own defenses over and over again, and do whatever they wanted on their interior again and again.

It was the first time he felt so helpless, which was a feeling of helplessness that he didn't feel in the North American League, even if he had the ability to conquer the sky, he couldn't beat the American team, because every player in the American team had the ability to reach the sky.

32 points, the Chinese team lost a full 32 points, which was completely beyond Meng Xiaohao's expectations, he didn't expect his team to lose so badly, even worse than when he lost to the French team.

The changes made by Li Mulin and others did not play a substantial role, after all, it was only a few days, and it really had little effect.

Facing the reporter's interview after the game, Meng Xiaohao was also depressed, his first Olympic Games ended in such a tragic way, which Meng Xiaohao was unwilling to accept.

The quarterfinals did not set the best Olympic record for the Chinese team, and they were only one game away from the semi-finals of the Chinese team's best Olympic record, but in this game, they met the United States.

After the loss, the rest of the Chinese team showed great relaxation, only Meng Xiaohao was very sad.

The other players felt that it was the United States that they lost, that they were too strong, and they knew that they would not be able to beat the United States.

But Meng Xiaohao doesn't think so, the reason is very simple, he is too close to those players of the American team, and many of them are very good friends.

Meng Xiaohao knew in his heart that it would be very difficult to catch up with them.

……

"Have you ever imagined what it would be like to stand on the stage of the finals?"

Meng Xiaohao didn't expect that the question he didn't want to be asked the most was actually asked by his girlfriend Li Xueqing's mouth, and it was on the interview he promised her.

Meng Xiaohao didn't know how to answer for a while.

Under normal circumstances, Meng Xiaohao would refuse to answer, he didn't want the scar to be revealed, but the person who asked him this question was his girlfriend, and it was in his own interview.

As a result, Meng Xiaohao was reluctant to say more, and he quickly ended the topic.

"Don't you want to forget about it until now?" At the end of the interview, Li Xueqing handed Meng Xiaohao a bottle of water.

Meng Xiaohao took the water bottle, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then sighed......

It was a feeling of helplessness that he had never felt, and the horror of the American team was still shrouded in Meng Xiaohao's heart until now, and he was unwilling to disperse for a long time.

"It's not going to work in your favor, you know." Li Xueqing sat down beside him, "This is not you, this is not you I know, is the American team really so scary?" Is it really that scary? ”

"You haven't felt that despair, that helplessness, really, really scary."

Meng Xiaohao knew that the American team brought strength to the other players of the Chinese team, and what brought Meng Xiaohao was mental pressure.

He had the ability, the ability to compete with those American teams, but he didn't do it, and he lost very ugly.

Meng Xiaohao wasn't actually afraid, he blamed himself more.

"Actually, you know that you can't defeat them, and you know it yourself."

"But I still want to beat them."

"People, sometimes you need to be patient, there is an old Chinese saying, called a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, you still have four years, 2028, that is your peak, at that time, is the best time for you to defeat the American team!"

Meng Xiaohao took a deep breath. Relieve yourself from being nervous.

"The U.S. has dominated international basketball for too long, and I think they should go down." Li Xueqing said, looking at Meng Xiaohao.

"I think you are the only one who can end the dominance of the American team in the international basketball arena, but not the current you!"

Meng Xiaohao listened carefully......

"You still need to exercise, it's not your strength ceiling, your strength should be stronger. And not only do you need to exercise, you should also give your teammates time, Li Mulin, Wang Shengqiang, they also need time to precipitate, they can go to the next level. ”

Meng Xiaohao didn't speak, he was savoring Li Xueqing's words.

"You are the one who knows their strength best, so you should give them time, let them grow, let them keep up with you, let them narrow the gap with you, in this way, the rise of the Chinese team is just around the corner."

At this time, Li Xueqing was like a professor, and then enlightened this autistic student named Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao hesitated for a long time, he didn't speak, his eyes looked straight at the floor, Li Xueqing knew that he was thinking, he was self-enlightening.

After a while, Meng Xiaohao sighed and stood up......

"I'm still too young and we don't have enough experience."

When Li Xueqing heard Meng Xiaohao's words, she smiled slightly, "I am very happy to hear you say this." ”

Meng Xiaohao turned his head to look at Li Xueqing, "Honey, thank you!" ”

"Team America? You've eliminated us this time, and we'll get back what we're all about in four years! ”
