Chapter 244: Preparing for Team Britain (First Update)

This was beyond Lu Zhuhu's expectations.

I have played basketball a few times in several major universities in China, and I also think that the domestic basketball atmosphere is good at this time, students love to play more, and their ball skills can also be, and the mass base is much better than the current crowd height of only 1.4 or 1.5 meters in Japan! Although at this time, the average height of China is not very high.

Lu Zhuhu originally thought that the Chinese men's basketball team would not lose to Japan no matter what, and the biggest score difference in Olympic basketball was still there, and there were still some advantages in Asia.

What's the problem?

This game was very good for both sides, and the Chinese team performed very well at the beginning, and the Chinese cheerleaders present cheered and once led 6:5. But this is the last time the Chinese men's basketball team takes the lead. The Japanese team adjusted its tactics in a timely manner, strengthened its defense, and used the overall defense to make the Chinese team fail several times in the case of not having an advantage in height. Coach Dong Shouyi did not show up due to illness and could not use the timeout time to adjust, and the players lost their backbone. Poor offensive touch doesn't even work on the safest means of scoring, the free throw.

China made 18 free throws but only hit three. Just a few more free throws won't be so bad.

Every time they made a mistake, the Chinese audience at the scene sighed, and every time the Japanese team scored an extra goal to open up the point difference, the audience gritted their teeth and wanted to play by themselves, but they were helpless.

Some even cried bitterly on the spot......

The 19-35 defeat to the Japanese men's basketball team was the most criticized game in history. For the painful feelings of his teammates, Lu Zhuhu can also understand, the original time and space will only be worse, no one entered the second round, yesterday the football team was eliminated by the United Kingdom, today the basketball team lost to the most unloseable Japan, no wonder the news returned to China, originally quite confident Chinese people have to doubt whether the Chinese are really born East Asian sick man.

After listening to the process of the fiasco, Lu Zhuhu basically understood the reason, at this time, domestic basketball was still in the stage of "playing tricks", similar to the campus field in later generations, and the society was also enthusiastic about basketball players with superb skills, so it became a habit for players to show off their skills on the court, and they did not talk about cooperation. The Chinese team may be good to play individual skills, but the Japanese team is the more holistic one.

Lu Zhuhu comforted his teammates that a defeat was nothing, and it was good that the players were back in state adjustment - the big deal was that he would draw Yao Mingyi Jianlian for the basketball team when he had time, he really didn't care much about it today, and the football team itself was in a mess. But tomorrow he will play in the Sino-British game, and tomorrow the basketball team will only be on their own, hoping that they can be transferred.

When Lu Zhuhu returned to the dormitory, it would be lively - everyone already knew that the next game would be played in England, the undefeated myth of the "British Empire" was too famous, and China's modern football also learned from the Britons who came to China.

Students are like eggs hitting stones against teachers, and the chances of winning are slim!

Even though the team has seen a lot of the world in Europe now, the pressure is much greater than that of Peru.

When Lu Zhuhu heard their remarks, he laughed: "Okay, okay, this bankrupt version of the 'British team' doesn't need to be afraid, and its real strength is only five or six percent of the Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur we played before." ”

"Oh? How did Brother Lu know? ”

Of course, Lu Zhuhu figured out the composition of this team when he was in England. There are four players in this English team who play in the Scottish First Division, Queen's Park is not a "Queen's Park Ranger", the Soviet League is bluffing, but the strength and Li Huitang are all in the Soviet League back then, Queen's Park is not the strongest team, and the era of the Tigers has been relegated to the third and fourth divisions of Scotland.

There are also nine players from England's Casouls and Corinthians, as well as a number of amateurs from Northern Ireland and Wales, and basically all of the British Isles are represented.

Britain has always ignored international competitions such as the Olympics and the World Cup, and Lao Tzu is the strongest, and he will lose points by competing with you. It was decided very late to participate in the Olympic Games, and the football team was also rushed to the army a month before the start of the game, and most of the players did not know each other, let alone tacit understanding - although the players of the Chinese team are also in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Singapore, and East India, they are all familiar with each other, but the domestic players have always been very familiar with each other, and they also follow the general framework of the Far Eastern Games, not to mention that everyone has become more familiar with each other's style of play since the training.

Earlier this year, the English football team, made up of professional players, lost to Belgium and Austria on the European tour – so it's a good idea to say that Britain is unbeaten. Perhaps they themselves felt that they did not have enough confidence in the improvised, in order to hide their strength, the British team did not arrange any warm-up matches after coming to Berlin, the only thing was to win Finland in the first round, but I heard that the British team did not play very dominantly, and the score only won by one goal.

Li Huitang secretly went to observe the training of the British team in the afternoon, and everyone asked him about the conclusion of the camp, Li Huitang felt that the personal ability of these British players was above that of the Chinese team, and their physical strength had the upper hand, but the technique was slightly "rough", and there was no tacit understanding of the Chinese team in passing the ball.

The words of the two key gentlemen have increased the confidence of the Chinese team players a lot, and they are even looking forward to tomorrow's big game.

In history, even if the first round of the draw of strong opponents, domestic newspapers did not all look down, such as the "declaration" belongs to the support of the Chinese team, the comments at the time that although Britain is a football power, but the level of amateur football, compared with other European countries, is not outstanding. Based on the record of the World Football Team in Nanyang, it is indeed quite improved compared to the past, and it can be compared with the United Kingdom. During the preparation for the game, Li Huitang also received a letter from an unknown overseas Chinese, who pointed out that the strength of the British team is only the last in the strong team with his many years of football experience in Europe, and the British team is the best choice if he wants to cause an upset - otherwise the Chinese men's football team has fans everywhere it goes, and there are die-hard loyalists to give advice.

Before the Olympic finals, there was one game in two days, and the Chinese team played one more game, and most of the players who played today will basically rest tomorrow. It is Lu Zhuhu's position to be discussed, although his physical strength is always vigorous, and he even participates in several competitions a day, but tomorrow the gold medalist - the swimming project will begin, Lu Zhuhu's strongest is this, and there is a men's 4x100m relay in the afternoon, teammates are worried that participating in football matches will affect his other events to win gold and silver, but in swimming, track and field distraction will affect the state of football.

"It's okay, I'll be on the bench tomorrow! Anyway, now it's time to change someone. Lu Zhuhu said: "I swim two laps casually, and I can win two or three gold medals, but I am not ready to play seriously." ”

Teammates: "......"
