On February 11, Beijing time, on the ice hockey field of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese ice hockey team ushered in its debut, and although the Chinese team lost to the United States 0:8, although it could not win, it was able to stand on this stage to usher in a new page. There is no doubt that this is an important victory for Chinese ice hockey, perhaps this is a key milestone, people's daily also praises the Chinese ice hockey team, do not know how everyone looks at this, you can give your opinion in the comments section below, thank you.
Ice hockey originated in the 19th century, the origin is Canada, relatively speaking, China's contact with ice hockey is relatively late. But it was actually in 1924. At the 1st Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France, the ice hockey project has been officially shortlisted for the Canadian team, and finally defeated all European teams to win the first gold medal in history. Therefore, our Chinese ice hockey team this time is also equivalent to completing a breakthrough of zero in 1998, and finally stood on the world's top stage at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
However, compared to the experienced United States and Canada and other fierce rivals, the Chinese team is still not experienced enough, this game against the strong United States team, the Chinese team in the end of the 1st quarter 0:1 behind, nearly 20 minutes time, only lost a ball, in fact, it is already good, but the 2nd quarter Of the Chinese team conceded three goals in a row, the overall situation began to collapse, after half-time 0:4 behind, and finally the whole game 0:8 lost to the opponent.
It must be pointed out that the rules of ice hockey allow for a reasonable range of fights, and in this game, there is inevitably a fight situation. Ye Jinguang, the 36-year-old veteran captain of the Chinese ice hockey team, faced the provocation of the American players, clashed with the opponent in many games, responded to the opponent with a strong momentum, and played the bloody nature of the Chinese team. Ye Jinguang has 3/4 Chinese ancestry and 1/4 Irish ancestry, and is standard Chinese. In the game, he and the American team fought, the scene of not giving in made people feel very hot, even the People's Daily praised him and the Chinese team, saying that the momentum of the Chinese men's ice stood, and it didn't matter whether they won or lost.
After the end of the game, Ye Jinguang also said with pride: Let the world remember that we have come, I hope to let the young people in China see the greatness of the ice hockey project, hard work is the best way for me to serve the motherland and express my love to the motherland, and I hope that more Chinese young people can love the ice hockey project. The son of the well-known actor Yingda, Yingrudi, also plays for this team, and he also said in an interview that there is indeed a gap in strength between the two teams, but it is not as big as imagined, and I believe that the Chinese team will usher in progress.
