In an office, several leaders in suits and leather shoes had serious expressions, Hu Dada glanced at the score, and then looked at Wen **** Da and Li Da around him, and his heart was not a good feeling.

Before the game, the official report of the Basketball Association said that the men's basketball team would definitely have a medal in this Olympic Games, and Hu Da originally thought that this medal would be a silver medal, but maybe it would be a bronze medal.

"Alas!" Hu Dada sighed rarely, the country is indeed lagging behind others in some aspects, and I have to admit it.

Hu Dada turned his head to look at ***, *** also shook his head and said: "Difficult!" ”

Hearing that ***, who pays more attention to sports, said the same, Hu Dada and the other three didn't have the heart to watch it anymore, and turned around and were about to leave.

But at this time, several people saw a No. 4 Chinese player on the TV constantly wandering around Argentina's basket, and Yao Ming grabbed the crucial rebounds again and again in the joint blockade of Argentina's interior line.

There are still people who have not given up!

Several of the leaders sat down again.

Seeing that only two people in the Chinese team were still resisting stubbornly, they talked for a while. "Our foundation is still too thin and inexperienced. I have never played this kind of game before, and the front relies on the individual abilities of Yao Ming and Li Zhi, but in the semi-finals, the role of the team is too important. ”

In a word, it has to be the same.

In the history of Chinese sports, team sports such as basketball and football have always been in a state of abnormal development. Heritage, experience, these invisible things are especially important in such a crucial game.

If the Chinese men's basketball team has reached the semifinals and finals in the past, even if it is not the Olympics, the mentality of the men's basketball players will be much calmer, after all, everyone has played in this position.

But the problem is that this is the first time in history that the men's basketball team has reached the top four, and the first time it is so close to the championship, and the veterans of the men's basketball team are generally older, so their mentality has naturally been affected.

First, some players have too much desire to survive, but they are too late, and there are many mistakes in attack. On the other hand, fearing defeat, some players simply give up.

This is the root cause of the suppression of the men's basketball team throughout the game.

In this regard, Li Zhi is helpless, he can't replace other players to attack and defend, so he can only use one impact at a time to stop the bleeding for the men's basketball team.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Li Zhi continued the momentum of the third quarter and launched an attack with Manuginobili.

Although the offensive weapons in his hand are not as many as Ginobili's, the victory lies in excellent technology, so the two sides are also fighting well.

But even if Yao Ming grabbed the rebounds again and again, Li Zhi continued to hit the basket with Yao Ming's blocking, but he still couldn't change the fact that the score was getting bigger and bigger.

On the Chinese side, except for Li Zhi and Yao Ming, who are struggling to support, the others are not in good shape, whether it is inside or outside the attack, and the defense is also blown up again and again by Argentina's back three.

Five minutes later, China called a timeout, and Younas made changes to the personnel, replacing China's inside three highs, and Wang Shipeng on the outside, trying to turn the situation around.

However, Argentina is also in excellent condition, and the whole game is played at the level of the last Olympic champion under the super level of Ginobili, although the Chinese side continues to chase points, but Argentina is still leading in the score.

Entering the last two parts of the fourth quarter, the battle between the two sides became more and more tragic, Yao Ming was knocked to the ground by a collision by Nocioni, and after standing up, he still quickly returned to defense.

At this time in the game, the individual ability of the star became prominent, first Li Zhi borrowed Yao Ming to block and shoot three points, then Yao Ming and Li Zhi continued to block and dismantle, Li Zhi took away the defense, and then passed the ball to Yao Ming, who hit three points again.

Li Zhi and Yao Ming's blocking and demolition seem to be the last straw for China's life.

Then, the two cooperated again and scored 4 points in two minutes. However, Argentina withstood the pressure at this time, the key Mr. Spurs hit a three-pointer on the outside, Fedeno and Nocioni also continued their good touch, and Scola on the inside also scored two points, so that the Chinese team fell behind by one point.

In the last ten seconds, the Chinese team was still 7 points behind Argentina.

The Chinese team used a lot of pauses in this game, and it has been used up at this time. Li Zhi dribbled to the front court and forced a three-point shot, and then under Younas's constant shouting, the men's basketball team began to foul tactics.

However, Oberto, who was beaten by Yao Ming in Argentina, scored both free throws, and there was little hope left for China to turn the tables.

At this time, it was Li Zhi again, Yao Ming made a long pass directly in the backcourt, and the basketball happened to fall into the hands of Li Zhi outside the three-point line in the front court.

"Huh!"

Again!

92：97

There are five more points.

But there was only one second left.

"Lost, we lost!"

"There's no way we're going to turn it around!"

At this moment, in front of the TV, in the audience, and in the commentary room, countless fans on the land of China were heartbroken, unwilling, regretful, disappointed, and even crying.

This is the second defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games, but compared with the United States in the last battle, this one is heart-wrenching and suffocating.

With a 5-point difference, a game in which the winner advances and the loser eliminates, even if the Chinese team's defense is so good that it doesn't result at all, it will make a big difference.

However, when the game ended, the whistle blew and it was a foregone conclusion.

Li Zhi looked at the scoreboard above his head, his whole body seemed to have lost all his strength, and he fought for the whole game and lost!

Li Zhi didn't complain about his teammates, he had many partners with them in his previous life, and they were actually good if they could play at such a level.

Think about the days when I was alone in the United States looking for my basketball dream, I survived countless difficulties, and I never had such pain at this moment.

It's too close, but when the result comes out, it's so far away.

Li Zhi's legs were weak, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, his head tilted, and tears slipped out of his eyes.

"Lost...... And that's the end of it! ”

Yao Ming was still being interviewed by reporters, his eyes were red, and he covered his face and said incoherently: "We will come back, we will!" ”

Yi Jianlian stood in place, his eyes were confused, as if he had lost his soul, he had experienced failure, his days in the Bucks last season were more failures than this time, but they were not as heartache as this time, he wanted to cry, but he didn't want people to see it, so he lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Wang Zhizhi sat on the chair at this time, did not leave, and the sweat was still dripping.

He looked up at Li Zhi, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming, closed his eyes, and flashed in his mind the days when everyone worked hard together in the Olympic Games, from the warm-up match to the semifinals.

He's 31 years old, he'll be 35 at the next Olympics, and even if he wanted to, his body would no longer be able to sustain him on the field.

Not only them, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan...... The men's basketball players, with a pair of tiger eyes, were all flushed, and remorse and loss turned into a dagger, deeply stabbing the hearts of the blood.

Winning all the way to the semi-finals, but finally ...... It ended in disgrace.

"You guys are the best!"

"Come back in 12 years!"

"We've been supporting you for 12 years!"

"We're content!"

"Chinese men's basketball team! Rise up! ”

I don't know who shouted like that, and then the sentences converged into a wave, sweeping overwhelmingly, and the Chinese audience in the audience were also in tears, but they choked up and said words of encouragement.

Among the fans, several college students held a five-star red flag, their voices were heartbreaking, and Li Zhi's heart trembled.

The Argentine national team players who have not yet walked out of the passage were stunned one by one, looked at the Chinese fans in the stands for a while, and looked at the Chinese who fought with them all day, and they sounded the few Argentine fans in the Athens stadium at the last Olympic Games, and they gave them the warmest shout.

"Let's go! We've got the next one! Ginobili turned his head and said, "But they are respectable opponents!" ”

Ginobili said this, his heart was not good, he knew that if it wasn't for his super level performance, the outcome of this game would be unpredictable.

……

……

Back in the locker room, the members of the men's basketball team sat together, and Yao Ming was the first to speak: "Cheer up brothers, we still have a qualifying game to play!" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and everyone cheered up.

'It's over, it's not going to help, the most important thing for us is to play the next game.' Li Zhi looked at everyone and said.

"Yes, in the next race, we have to win and finish third to get a medal!" Yao Ming clenched his fists and said.

Everyone's eyes were blazing, and a glimmer of fire welled up in their eyes, this was their chance for redemption.

Although the third place is only a bronze medal, it is also a medal, and it seems that the men's basketball team has not won a medal at the Olympics.

Especially at this time, the people of the whole country are full of hope for the men's basketball team, they have no way back, and they will win the bronze medal further, and take a step back to achieve nothing.

A few hours later, the news came that the U.S. team had beaten Spain and that they had qualified, albeit in a bit of a twist. In the end, they will compete with Argentina for the Olympic title.

Spain and China, who were eliminated, will compete for the bronze medal.
