Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen Battles That Will Be Lost?

When the whistle was heard at the end of the game, many fans at the scene couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. Such moments were absolutely historic for any Chinese basketball fan.

Jiangsu Quick Run: This day is a moment that all Chinese basketball people should remember. We were once dubbed as the bottom team. We were once considered to be difficult to win in the Olympics. We were not respected or treated with open eyes. But today, we have done it and we have proved to the world that Chinese basketball can create miracles! We are here!

The blank space left: As an old fan, the last time I cried was when I was twenty years old. That day, I was fired by my unit, and I had no way out for my new job. I was alone on the street, sleeping alone under the bridge hole at night, and my mother in the distance was still hospitalized. Since that day, I have worked hard and vowed not to shed a single tear anymore, but today, I am so excited that I can no longer control my tears. Chinese men's basketball team, you are all good!

Qianzhiwei: Hahaha, all the guys in the Chinese team are good. Although I knew you would enter the semi-finals after winning the second place in the group, after really entering, I was still excited and almost dropped my phone. In the next game, no matter how you win or lose, I will be your fans in my life!

...

In fact, not only the fans, but the leaders of the Basketball Association are also laughing to death. How glad they were to choose. No one was blind. Everyone knows what the Chinese team can make history.

The team is close to the semi-finals, and Gong Luming also arranged a celebration banquet for the players.

Of course, due to the Zika virus, the celebration banquet was held in the restaurant in the Olympic Village. Although the platoon leader was not big, Gong Luming paid all of them out of his own pocket and was full of sincerity.

For the men's basketball players, after creating history, they are destined to be recorded in history, and the shockingness of this historical creation is absolutely sufficient. This is the semi-finals of the Olympics. Looking back at the beginning of the Olympics, no Chinese can do it, but they did it!

"We are here to bring water with tea and give everyone a favor. Everyone plays very hard and play well in the subsequent games!" Gong Luming raised his glass with a smile.

Gong Luming has been in the officialdom for a long time and has an official accent, but this does not hinder his communication with the team members. Now they all raise their glasses.

"Director Gong, after the fight is over, you should use real wine~" Guo Ailun said mischievously.

"You kid." Gong Luming smiled and pointed at Guo Ailun, without getting angry, and then raised his glass and drank it all.

The players got along well with Gong Luming. After drinking, they sat down and picked up food and played. Even the few players who were already fathers, such as Zhou Peng and Sui Ran, were playing with others, without any grudges.

Tang Shuai looked at the players who were playing in a group and felt unspeakable. In fact, the NBA, the national team, the team is just a family. If the family can't get along well with each other, then no matter how strong the teammates are, it is meaningless. Once they really integrate into an existence similar to a family, it will be the same as the three armies who have tried their best in wars in ancient times, any miracle may happen.

He drank all the tea in front of him, and his expectations for the next game also increased.

The Chinese team and the United States team, deciding on the various professional teams during the warm-up match, included the previous two games, the two sides had a total of 12 matches, and the Chinese team lost without any suspense. Except for the game in Los Angeles, relying on Tang Shuai's extraordinary performance and the old coach K was trying to train, he lost 15 points in the end, which has set a record of the smallest difference in the score difference between the two teams.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are two completely level teams, with at least two levels apart.

Of course, this is the past, but even for the current national team, people are more willing to call him a dark horse. No one, even the Chinese, would never think that the Chinese team has the possibility of defeating the American team. Their more idea is to hope that the Chinese team can bring out morale and play the smallest score difference.

If one word is used to describe the situation of the Chinese team in this battle, then the "match of defeat" is the most appropriate.

In fact, let alone the outside world, even the members of the national team will not have the idea of ​​defeating the US team. Just as the Chinese spokesperson always likes to say since ancient times, the Chinese team has never defeated the US since ancient times, and even if it may not exist.

This is not the first time Tang Shuai has seen the team in this state. He knows what he needs to do at this time.

There is only one situation in this world that things are impossible, that is, when you think it is impossible.

The semi-finals will not be held on the 19th, and there will be a day's rest time before this.

Gong Luming arranged daily training as usual.

After the training, the players were talking about the next game.

"It's open, it's open, it's open! Buy it and leave, Spain vs. France, see who will be the team to fight us next!" Guo Ailun shouted there.

After the match between China and Brazil, two other quarter-finals were held in the evening, and the result was that Spain eliminated Canada and France took revenge on Lithuania. The three teams in Group A joined hands to advance to the semi-finals, which is rare in the Olympics.

"Allen, are you betting on who will win the game between Spain and France, or will it block our opponents in the next round? These are two completely different opponents~" Li Muhao said with a smile.

Li Muhao's words also caused other players to burst into laughter.

Tang Shuai also laughed, but compared with the laughter of others, his was obviously much more complicated.

"Brother Tang, why don't you look very happy?" At this moment, Zhao Haoyan noticed that Tang Shuai's emotions were not on the same level as others, and stood up and asked.

When Tang Shuai saw the players' status, he was worried about how to find a topic to start. When he heard Zhao Haoyan's words, he followed: "I was thinking about how to win the United States team."

"Win Team USA?" Zhao Haoyan was stunned for a moment.

Tang Shuai's words were not loud, but everyone else could hear them, and they all looked at him in surprise.

"Well, except for Durant, the people who came to the US team this time can only be regarded as their second team. We finally had a chance to challenge and met the weakest American team again. I was very unwilling to let me give up." Tang Shuai said with reluctance on his face.

After hearing what Tang Shuai said, his teammates looked at each other and nodded. Although Tang Shuai did not express his thoughts in a way of regret, something called hope suddenly jumped up in everyone's heart.

"Brother Tang, this is a bit too difficult, right?" Zhao Haoyan was still a little more immature, not as much as others thought, and couldn't help but say.

Tang Shuai didn't say anything. After smiling, he sat down and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to share with you what I'm playing against the Warriors in the NBA."

When he heard that Tang Shuai was going to share his experience with the Warriors, the players' interest suddenly came up. Needless to say, they all moved their stools over.

"At that time, we had just finished the Rockets in the first round, and the winning was quite easy. Just like we are now defeating Brazil, we advanced to the semi-finals of the Western Conference." Tang Shuai said, looking up at the expressions of the others.

Sure enough, as expected, when the playoffs and Olympic knockouts were combined, the interest on the players' faces became stronger.

"You should also know that Paul and Griffin both missed the game at that time, and Jordan Jr. was the only star left. The gap between the Clippers and the Warriors is not much different from the current gap between us and the United States. People from the outside never thought we could win. Although it was a 7-game 4-win series, they didn't think we could win one." Tang Shuai continued.

"How did you win later?" Guo Ailun asked.

"Just win like this. Although it was considered a game that would definitely lose, we were not convinced. Why should we be treated like this because we are weak? As basketball players, wasn't it just for winning? Shouldn't the weak side even win the game?" Tang Shuai said to himself.

When Tang Shuai said this, the players unconsciously lowered their heads. When they linked the playoffs that Tang Shuai experienced with the Olympic knockout rounds in front of them, they seemed to have become the kind of people that Tang Shuai said that he didn't even win.

"Of course not." Tang Shuai then denied, "Although we also know that winning is as difficult as heaven, we have the courage to try. It took us 82 games to enter the playoffs. The Warriors injured Curry at that time. Such a good opportunity is in front of us. Should we give up like this?"

"If you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime!" Tang Shuai said with emotion at last.

When Tang Shuai said this, no matter how stupid the team members knew that he was saying something, but what he said was a heart-warming sentence.

Yes, Tang Shuai fought 82 regular season games with his teammates in the Clippers, and he made a lot of effort to reach the playoffs. If they gave up, how regrettable it would be for the rest of their lives when they gave up! Isn’t it the same as when they faced the American team in front of them? They created history, entered the semi-finals, and reached the peak of history, but now a team composed of two teams is right in front of them, but they plan to give up. Isn’t this a lifelong regret?

Tang Shuai didn't say it clearly, but everyone already understood what Tang Shuai was going to say in their hearts.

"Shistor Tang could beat the Warriors in such a situation. Why can't we try to beat the United States? They are not the strongest lineup, we really have a chance to win!" At this moment, Zhai Xiaochuan was the first to speak.

"Yes, and Brother Tang is in the team now. When the Clippers won the game, Brother Tang is now. Now we have Brother Tang! We put in 12% of our efforts, which is no worse than those teammates Tang at that time!" Zhao Haoyan also echoed.

"Tang Shuai is right. We do have a chance to win, and the chance is not small." Even Yi Jianlian, who has always been silent, spoke at this time.

"Damn!" Guo Ailun slapped his thigh, stood up with a "scarlet" and said cursingly, "You're so rough! You're not just playing a ball, what are you afraid of!"

As soon as Guo Ailun's Shandong dialect came out, it immediately caused laughter from the team members.
