Chapter 85: Singing the National Anthem

"Yao, I have a hunch that maybe we can win if you don't have to play tonight." Younas did not answer Yao Ming's question, but expressed the excitement in his heart.

He has the impression that Xiao Po is a player who does not follow the usual route, and he always has some genius ideas coming up, so he is not surprised by many things. However, tonight, the dashing sword still made him feel amazed. He felt that he might still be underestimating the chic.

He originally thought that Xiao's core competitiveness was his physical element, his breakthrough ability, and fixed-point three-point shooting ability.

And now, it dawned on him.

It turns out that Chick's real competitiveness is his ability to understand the game. He always puts himself in the right position, he always does the right thing on the pitch and leads the team on the right path, even if he always surprises.

"That's true genius! His thinking skills are completely superior to those of his opponents! Younas exclaimed with heartfelt admiration. As a die-hard academy coach, he is known for being rigorous. However, he has now decided to give Xiao Sa full freedom.

There aren't many coaches in the NBA who are known for their toughness and stubbornness, and Popovich is one of them.

But he also admired Xiao Shao very much, and he was sitting in the hotel watching the live broadcast of CCTV. He muted the game, and he couldn't understand the host anyway.

When Xiao Sao came on the field, his eyes never left the No. 15 player of the Chinese team.

He stared at Xiao Shao's every movement, and every movement surprised him.

He saw something in Xiao Shi, spirituality.

This thing, he had found it on Ginobili, Tony Parker. But the spirituality in them is not comparable to Xiao Shi at all, they can only be regarded as a flash, and Xiao Xiao is always shining. He kept the game in his rhythm and he was in complete control of the game, even when Yao Ming was standing on the court.

This is a player with his own system!

Popovich doesn't like players with a free style, he likes the kind of player who can put his approach on the pitch in its entirety. But Xiao Shi broke his preferences, and he wanted to get Xiao Shi before. Now, he thinks about it even more, even without thinking about it.

Although the skills embodied by Xiao Sao can only be regarded as average, and the physical elements he showed in the game may not be so easy to crush in the NBA, which is full of strong players.

But that's not what Popovich cares about.

He cares about spirit!

To be able to impress conservative coaches, chic is undoubtedly amazing.

But this astonishment hurt the Spaniards deeply. The Spanish head coach racked his brains, only to find that the rhythm of the Chinese team has always been in their own hands, whether they play fast attacks or constantly destroy their penalty areas with the inside. They always play at their own pace.

And if the rhythm of the Chinese team is not chaotic, their scoring can always continue.

The continuation of the scoring kept the difference in points, and even the Spaniards were able to put the ball in the basket, but they could not stop the Chinese team from putting the ball in as well.

The current Chinese team seems to have played a new system, and Spain has not yet broken the Chinese team's system.

Therefore, the Chinese team has been holding the initiative.

Time goes on and on.

Soon, there were only three minutes left in the game.

The Chinese team still leads by 9 points.

At this point, Younas called a timeout.

He was able to see the players on the pitch who had problems.

And the decline of the inner line made him wonder whether to let Yao Ming go up too, after all, he is the leader of the team, and he should go up to harvest the opponent's head.

However, Xiao Xiao was obviously a little unhappy with Younas's sudden call for a timeout, and he felt that the body was not a problem. If he insists on playing for two more minutes, Spain may disarm, and he is already thinking about whether to use Li Nan and Wang Zhizhi to give himself double cover, like a trench to protect himself, and he hit two three-pointers under heavy protection to send Spain out of school.

Unfortunately, before this idea could be implemented, Younas called a timeout.

This pause was very unnecessary in Xiao Xiao's view, as everyone was holding their breath and trying to take Spain in one fell swoop.

"Xiao, hard work." Younas stepped forward and patted Xiao on the head, and then he encouraged the other players one by one.

Watching the five approach, the players who were sitting on the bench stepped out of the way. They also know that this is the most important hero, and when they are talked about by fans in the future, everyone will say that it is the credit of these five people.

So, they really want to play.

Otherwise, if they keep playing like this, everyone will feel that the Chinese team's substitutes are stronger than the starters. When the time comes, they will laugh and be generous.

"What's next... Yao, Yi, Zhu, Wang, and Liu, the five of you are on ......."

Younas brought the tactical board, and he wasn't done yet. Xiao Wan interrupted him: "Coach, isn't our watch good enough?" Why replace everyone? ”

"Huh?" Younas frowned, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your mission has been completed. And now that you're tired, it's time to take a break, and then leave the task to them! ”

"No!" Xiao Sa stood up and resolutely opposed Younas: "We are not tired at all, Brother Nan and Brother Zhi can still persevere." ”

The unequivocal opposition immediately made Younas's face very ugly. Although he was able to condone Xiao Sa's freedom on the court, he could not bear Xiao to challenge his authority.

At this time, Xiao Shi had already continued to speak: "I didn't mean to offend you, and I don't want to interfere with your employment." I just want to prove something, I just want to get justice! At the height of the team's crisis, we got up, we sang the national anthem and went out into battle like a warrior, we did everything we could to get the lead, and now we are about to win. Instead, you want us to give away our impending victory to these fellows who laugh at us when we sing the national anthem. Is that fair? ”

The chic questioning became heavier and heavier, and all he said was in Chinese. He hadn't intended to say this to Younas, he was meant to say it to those who laughed at it.

At this time, the interpreter of the national team hurriedly relayed the chic content in Younas's ear.

And Xiao Shi has already continued to speak: "I also know that my behavior in singing the national anthem is stupid, but, do you know why I sing it? Do you know why I put my right hand on my chest? ”

Xiao Shao paused slightly, pointed to the five-star red flag on his chest, and said very calmly: "This is our national flag, we are wearing jerseys embroidered with the national flag, and we represent our country." Behind us are 300 million basketball fans who spend their time and their energy paying attention to us, and they don't want to fail. When you laugh, do you think about the fans who pin their basketball dreams on you? ”

"I'm ridiculous, I'm naΓ―ve. But I know that since it's a game, there will be wins and losses. If there are winners and losers, why can't I be the one who wins? ”

"If you want to play, you have to sing the national anthem like we do." Xiao Sa did not retreat, his eyes were sharp and firm when facing the team's veteran players: "Before the game started, Wukesong played the national anthem, and more than 20,000 people in the audience were singing, why can't you sing?" Is it humiliating? ”

Xiao Shao's speech speed is very fast, and the team's translation speed is also very fast, which soon makes Younas understand Xiao Shi's intentions.

When Younas learned what Xiao Wan meant, he didn't speak again. He knows that this is an internal problem of the Chinese, and he is a foreigner. is only responsible for the Chinese men's basketball team in business, and he has no power to intervene in national sentiments.

At this time, Yao Ming was the first to sing.

He sang so loudly that the fans in the front row were affected by him.

They didn't know what was going on on the bench, but they subconsciously sang along, and soon, with a little bit of noodles, the Wukesong Arena resounded in unison.

Seeing this, the DJ at the scene even played the accompaniment again.

The international referee who officiated the match was very puzzled, and he thought that something important had happened.

Respecting the feelings of the Chinese people, he did not immediately announce the resumption of the match, even if the timeout was over.

At this time, the other players on the bench also sang along.

Their voices were hidden in the more than 20,000 voices in the audience.

At this moment, they didn't feel ashamed, nor did they feel hypocritical.

On the contrary, because of the resonance of the audience, the mind is strong.

After all, they are also Chinese.

Soon, the national anthem was completed by the chorus.

At this time, the referee also hurried over to the bench of the Chinese team to ask what happened. Xiao Sao smiled slightly, and replied very calmly: "It's okay, I just want to sing and scare the Spaniards!" ”

The referee realized that he had made a mistake.

He hurriedly blew the whistle to signal the resumption of the game.

At this time, Younas hurriedly urged the main players to play. In this regard, Xiao Wan has no objection. His demands have been met, and he is not doing things for the sake of making trouble. He just wants to sue these guys, there is no shame in singing the national anthem.

After Xiao Sa sat back on the bench, Li Nan beside him asked Xiao Sa with feeling: "Xiao Xiao, aren't you afraid of offending everyone by doing this?" In case Yao Ming didn't take the lead just now, you would be the one who couldn't get off the field. ”

"Can't get off the field?" Xiao Shi smiled lightly and said calmly: "If I can't get off the field, I won't play." I'll just keep playing, Brother Nan, do you think we can't win on the court? ”

"Hanging." Li Nan sighed: "I ran back and forth for seven or eight minutes, and my feet were weak. After all, I'm not you young people, you are in good shape, you can persevere, I really can't stand it. That's why I gestured to Younas and asked him to prepare for a substitution. ”

"Huh? Is it Brother Nan who you asked Younas to change? Xiao asked in surprise, only then did he realize that he might have misunderstood Younas.

"yes. Do you still want your brother Nan to run to death on the court? Li Nan smiled and put his hand on Xiao's shoulder. He likes to be chic, from the first time he sees him. The chic personality is very much to his liking, although he is very sleek on weekdays, and no one can be offended. But when it came to the critical moment, when it came to issues of principle, he insisted more than anyone else. It's like just now, he had to let the national team bigwigs sing the national anthem before he could play.

That's a bit silly! It's cute, though!

Li Nan thought so in his heart.
