In a focus battle in the second round of the men's ice hockey group stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics that ended on the evening of February 12, Beijing time, the Chinese men's ice hockey team lost 2-3 to the runner-up of the last Winter Olympics, Germany, suffering two consecutive defeats. Despite the regret of losing, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Chinese men's ice hockey team in this game was recognized by the majority of Chinese netizens after the game.
In this game, the Chinese men's ice not only broke through the goal of the strong opponent Germany twice, creating history, but also a wonderful performance of sacrificing himself to block the opponent's goal. This scene occurred in the final moments of the third quarter, when the Chinese men's ice team had already recovered 2 goals after falling behind 0-3.
In the last moment, the Chinese team replaced the goalkeeper and adopted the "empty goal" fighting tactic, just to equalize the score. At this time, the German team took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's full line pressure and obtained an excellent opportunity to score goals in the empty goal. The Chinese team's naturalized player, Sprawl, went all out to defend. He even flew out of the blue line and slid on the ground, blocking the opponent's must-score at the same time, preemptively crossing the line to form a dead ball.
After blocking the opponent's must-score, Sprawl crashed into the wall of the board, but fortunately, as a tough guy, he was not injured. Seeing this scene of Sprawl, many Chinese fans have run to his personal social accounts to pay tribute with Chinese and English messages: "Look at the cry! Proud of you! ""Great! Keep up the good work! "Too hard! True pure masters! Finally know that Chinese ice hockey naturalized players will not be scolded! Men's soccer internationals learn to learn! ”
