Chapter 146: Prepare to Give Up
After playing all morning, Lu Xiaofeng was about to accompany them to taste Greek food when a phone call came. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Brother Yao, what are you doing? Something? ”
"Come back for a meeting."
"Isn't it a holiday? What kind of meeting? ”
Lu Xiaofeng was a little unhappy.
It's a good time, urging people to go back, isn't it a disappointment?
"You'll know when you come."
After the urn finished speaking angrily, Yao Ming hung up the phone, Lu Xiaofeng was a little depressed, and couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong? Urging you to go back? Ye Yufei held his hand, saw him frowning, and asked.
"Hmmm! Sick of it! I want to have a good day with you. ”
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ye Yufei apologetically, and then looked at the other two.
"Go ahead! Go ahead! We play by ourselves, we don't want you to accompany us. Zhao Yuwei waved her hand, looking indifferent.
"Okay, let's go, have my sister and Sister Yuhan with us!"
"Dad, Mom, then I'm leaving."
-----------------------------------------------
Lu Xiaofeng returned to the room and found that only Lao Li, Harris, Younas, Yao Ming, and translator Xia Song were waiting for him.
"Just wait for me? What about the others? ”
"Well, that's it. Laughing Wind, you sit down first. Lao Li spoke.
Waiting for Lu Xiaofeng to sit down, Lao Li spoke again:
"I talked to the two coaches in the morning."
"Now that we've qualified, we have to change our tactics for the next two games."
"You two are the core of the team, if you have any ideas, you can talk about them."
Lao Li said very vaguely, glanced at Yao Ming and Lu Xiaofeng, and asked them to express their position.
"I obey the arrangement." Yao Ming replied expressionlessly.
As an athlete, no one wants to give up on the competition.
Yao Ming was unhappy in his heart, but when the leader spoke, he could only accept it.
"I don't think we can win tomorrow and the last game against Serbia and Montenegro depends on the situation."
Lu Xiaofeng didn't have so many scruples, so he directly made his words clear.
"Huh! If you haven't fought yet, how can you admit defeat? Tell me why you can't win tomorrow? ”
Lao Li smiled, hiding his embarrassment.
"If we win tomorrow, we will lock up the top spot in Group A, and most of the opponents in Group B will be careful, which is not good for us."
What Lu Xiaofeng didn't say was that he knew that the U.S. team would be fourth in Group B.
If the Chinese team becomes the first team in Group A, the 1/4 final will be against the United States.
"Then which team do you think we have the best team to play in the quarterfinals?"
"Greece, or Puerto Rico. It's really not good, there is also a chance to fight Lithuania. ”
"Do you think the U.S. will finish fourth in Group B? Will they still lose? ”
Harris listened to Xia Song's translation and interjected directly.
"Who knows? I just don't think it's good for us to lock in the first place in the group early. ”
"Listen to you, do you think we can win against Serbia and Montenegro?" Lao Li asked again.
"Serbia and Montenegro are not the same as they were two years ago, you see they can even lose to New Zealand. I think we have a good chance. ”
"That's right. Since you both have no opinion, then when you play tomorrow, you have to rest more. ”
"No, no. Brother Yao can rest more, and I have to practice more tactics with my teammates. ”
Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly refused, how could he rest in such a high-level competition?
He's here to play, not to see the game.
And what he lacks is game experience, I can't wait to play a few more games, and let him rest, so how can it be?
"What if it ......"
"Director, don't worry, I know in my heart, I try to let my teammates shoot as much as possible, I won't exert my strength."
"Well, Coach Harris, what do you see?"
On the other side, Harris also nodded, thinking that Lu Xiaofeng's idea was good.
"Laughing Wind has a good idea, and everyone else needs to shoot more to find rhythm and confidence."
"Moreover, Yao Ming and Xiaofeng are not there, I am worried that the scene is a little ugly."
"You know, the game will definitely be broadcast live in your country."
When Lao Li heard Harris say this, he quickly nodded:
"Yes, yes, yes! Win or lose, the scene can't be too ugly. ”
"Then let's say so, Yao Ming will rest more, and Xiaofeng will bring others more."
"Also, what I said today can't be told to other people, let alone the media."
"Okay."
In this way, the tone of the next day's game was set.
To be honest, Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to pick an opponent.
Who doesn't want to go undefeated and end up at the top?
But the Chinese team has that strength, and if it wants to go further, it can only be calculated, which is the sadness of the weak team.
If it is those strong teams, like Spain, like Lithuania, or the United States, which has a high spirit, they will win every game.
The team that points to the championship, no one will pick an opponent, what is needed is the invincible confidence.
Lu Xiaofeng was also worried that his teammates would lose confidence after losing too badly.
So he's going to try to stay on the pitch, he's going to lose, but he can't lose the momentum.
Every game can't be played in vain, and tomorrow's ball is used for teammates to practice.
-------------------------------------------------------
Lu Xiaofeng slept in the same room as Battle.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but mention it.
"Bus, you may have to get on more tomorrow, get ready!"
In the first few games, as Yao Ming's substitute, Battle didn't play much.
Each game was only a few minutes, and Lu Xiaofeng saw that he was a little lazy, so he reminded him first.
"Huh! Are you ready to give up tomorrow's game? ”
Battle is also a veteran of the national team, and as soon as Lu Xiaofeng said it, he understood.
"Da Yao's foot injury is not good, and now that he is out of the line ahead of schedule, the coach is afraid that he will have to rest more."
"Then I'll have to go up and go through the motions!" Battle said self-deprecatingly.
"With me here, how can I let you play soy sauce?"
"You're not resting?" When Battle heard this, he became interested, and he rolled over and sat up from the bed.
"I'm young and I'm not injured, so why do I need to rest?"
"Hey, you can't talk nonsense about injuries. Do you really want to stay on the field? ”
"Yes! But still can't win. ”
"With you, everyone has a chance, and you can win or lose."
Thinking that when he was on the court, with Lu Xiaofeng controlling the ball, Battle also ignited his fighting spirit.
"If you win, I'm afraid you're going to play the American team."
"Playing Team America? Does that mean you have to lose tomorrow? ”
"Must lose!"
"Isn't there a chance to play the U.S. team at all? Puerto Rico has won so much. ”
"That's the first one! The athleticism of the American team, as soon as it runs, how to defend it? There is also your old teammate Duncan on the inside, and Yao Ming may not be able to take advantage of it. ”
"That's right."
"However, don't worry, I believe that losing will not be ugly, do you want to get a high score?"
"Then don't think about it, as long as you don't lose too ugly, I'll be thankful."
-------------------------------------------------------
The domestic media rushed to report on the men's basketball team's early qualification, and immediately talked about the problems of the next two games.
"In the case of locking up the qualifying places, the main team should be allowed to rest more and prepare for the quarterfinals."
These are the words of some so-called "sane" experts.
"The spirit of the Olympics is 'higher, faster, stronger', so how can you give up? Isn't this match-fixing? ”
"I must keep going! We must play the momentum of our Chinese nation! What is the ranking? Let's win five in a row! ”
"But you must not take the initiative to lose, what you want to play is that spirit, don't lose the momentum of the winning streak!"
This is the opinion of fans who don't have back pain when they stand and talk.
On August 21, Beijing time, the game at 9 o'clock in the evening coincided with Saturday.
It is conceivable that the live broadcast of CCTV Sports must have hit a new high in ratings.
Everyone is waiting for the Chinese men's basketball team, which has won consecutive battles, to continue to make great progress, and bring you four consecutive victories!
Therefore, Lao Li's pressure is also quite high. (To be continued.) )
