"We must work hard. We have a chance to become the number one in the world. We cannot live up to the expectations of the fans and the cultivation of the country...Friendship comes first, competition comes second..."

Looking at Wei Yuanli's passionate look, Liu Mang wanted to say: Friendship is your fault...

If friendship comes first and competition comes second, then why are you saying so many words that put people under pressure?

After defeating the United States in the afternoon, before the Chinese team had time to celebrate, the National Basketball Association came to find them. In the evening, they were originally planning to watch the game between Greece and Argentina, but they were delayed.

Obviously, there is no pressure after winning against the United States. No. 3 can have a better mood and confidence to play in the finals.

This is good, I was obviously in a happy mood, but I was made very irritable.

After half an hour of non-repeated speeches, Liu Mang's head was getting big. He had such free time to engage in such tricks, why not think more about how to promote basketball?

I remember it was the same situation two years ago when we reached the quarterfinals...

However, no one from the Blue Association came to the quarterfinals or even the semifinals this time. They probably had a lot of confidence, but before the finals, they felt that their words could be inspiring, so they came again...

Satisfied with the sense of superiority displayed by his official power, Wei Yuanli left with a group of smiling and paunchy Lan Xie people. Promotion of official rank and title was just around the corner...

Liu Mang has nothing to do. Personally speaking, Wei Yuanli is much better than Cheng Lanxin as the director of the Blue Association. Wei Yuanli would rather cut the CBA schedule to make less money, and increase the training time of the national team.

The membership fees for players who play in the NBA are also collected as low as possible, which is the leader of the basketball association that is most beneficial to Liu Mang’s national team career.

Apart from his love of showing off his political achievements and his love of rhetoric, he had little influence on Liu Mang.

What Liu Mang has to do is to perform well enough for the national team during Wei Yuanli's eight-year term from 2003 to 2010, so that he can have more opportunities for self-control in the national team, and at the same time, it also allows Yao Ming to pave the way for his future career.

Opportunities along the way.

If he wins the world championship, then Yao Ming will have more initiative when he takes charge of the Chinese men's basketball team, instead of being the top leader but being tied up everywhere.

But my teammates... seem to be used to it...

After the people from the Blue Association left, the two veterans Guo Shiqiang and Li Nan asked the players to go to physical therapy quickly. After the physical therapy, they went to dinner. There was another semi-final to watch at seven o'clock.

This time it is really a match against the opponent in the final, so we must pay attention to it.

Seeing my teammates acting like nothing happened just now, my mental endurance is... surprisingly good!

Compared with Liu Mang, he was a little uncomfortable, and his teammates didn't care at all. Except for Liu Mang, the national team players basically started to experience this when they were teenagers. At the beginning, they were either excited or angry because of those words.

Worry about gains and losses.

But slowly I discovered that playing basketball is not for others, but for myself, for basketball, and for a better future.

Winning glory for the country is about actual actions, not the words of officials.

It's just that everyone liked it and ignored that Liu Mang rarely experienced these things.

However, most human beings have a mentality of following the crowd, and Liu Mang is the same. Everyone is like this, and Liu Mang's mentality is also relaxed.

…

In the evening, when the Chinese team hurried back to the Saitama Super Arena, the game had already played one quarter. The game was supposed to end at five o'clock. As soon as the game ended, they were called to a meeting by the Blue Association, and there was a half-hour "

"Inspiring" speech took a full hour, plus physical therapy and other things. When I returned to the arena, it was already half past seven.

Fortunately, the game between the two teams was very intense, and the coaching staff arrived early and did not miss the game. They did not need restorative massages, ice packs, etc. like the players.

Liu Mang and his teammates arrived late and saw a very exciting second quarter.

The Greek team...is really amazing!

The Spanish team needs a combination of two Gasols to defend against Little Shark, but in just ten minutes, Little Shark's physical fitness declined and he could no longer run or jump. Moreover, his physical fitness is poor enough. Maybe he will enter the NBA.

, if he loses weight reasonably, he can become a very good third man inside or a fake in the NBA. He has a mid-range shot and is strong, but European clubs won’t let him go.

At the beginning of the second half, the overall strong Spanish team regained the advantage and took the lead. The Greek team's Spanoulis caused a lot of trouble to Spain's Calderon and Fernandez's strikers, but the overall Spanish team

The strength is still very strong.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gasol suddenly got injured!

Without any warning, Gasol just sat down to rest for a while during the interval after the end of the third quarter. After standing up, he felt uncomfortable in his feet and stamped his feet. Then a sharp pain made this big man who was standing on top of the world sit down.

On the floor, unable to stand up!

Spain just overtook the score in the second half of the third quarter and overtook the score difference by 10 points, ending the first three quarters with 62-52. The Spanish team was gaining momentum, and Gasol fell!

The Spanish team, with Gasol, Calderon, and Gasol, are three great passers. They are like dancing dancers in the World Series. Their style of play is gorgeous and smooth, unlike

The Chinese team relies on the talents of two superstars to lead a group of pitchers; unlike the American team, which has countless talented players, and there is a gap in talent like Argentina, it relies on the tacit cooperation of playing together for many years... and

Gasol!

Gasol fell, and the big screen was temporarily checked.

Seeing Gasol holding his feet with tears streaming down his face, Liu Mang suddenly recalled that Gasol did not participate in the 2006 World Championship finals, and the Greek team's insider was also injured in the final.

Injuries must have hurt the Greek team with fewer stars, but the Spanish team defeated the Greek team with a score of 70 to 47 in the final to win the World Championship.

Gasol did not participate in the finals because of a metatarsal fracture, which is a broken bone in the direction of the toe extending toward the ankle!

This is a kind of strain injury. Gasol has been playing professional games since 1998. The intensity of European leagues is actually higher than that of the NBA. Club games plus the European Basketball League and Cups include hundreds of games a year. Barcelona Basketball Club

It is also the top team in Europe and plays in almost all club cups and leagues.

Moreover, Gasol also has to represent the Spanish basketball national team in the European Championships, World Championships, European Cup, World Cup and other games. Just like Yao Ming, he is tired and injured!
