The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Philippines by 21 points in the final game of the World Cup, not only did not get a direct ticket to the Paris Olympics, but also lost the qualification to participate in the Olympic Games. Even, this is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has lost to an Asian team in the history of the World Cup. The wounds of the World Cup defeat on my doorstep four years ago have not yet healed, and now there is another tragedy in the Philippines.
This defeat is disappointing, the players are powerless, the media and fans are heartbroken, let's take a look at the men's basketball team after the fiasco.
Yao Ming, the president of the basketball association, who led the team, sat on the court without saying a word when he saw the men's basketball team lagging behind, his face was like ashes, and he must have been disheartened in his heart. Introduced the famous European coach Đorđević, naturalized foreign aid Li Kyle, and went to Europe to train for 2 months... Everything that can be done at the basketball association level has been done, but unfortunately this Chinese men's basketball team not only did not get a ticket to the Olympic Games, but even lost the qualification for the Olympic Games, and Yao Ming's pressure can be imagined.
After the match, Zhao Rui, the best domestic player in this World Cup, was interviewed and bluntly said: Our league intensity is not enough to support our level of play on the stage of international competitions. In fact, in a previous interview, Zhao Rui expressed his idea of wanting to play in the Olympic Games, or even just one game, but the 2024 Paris Olympics have no chance with the Chinese team.
Zhang Zhenlin said in an interview: "Although the result is not very good and the result is not very good, we will remember this pain." But the fans did not buy it, and some people directly replied that "it seems to be opposite to the end" and "4 points for the other party in the last few seconds to humiliate".
In fact, everyone who watched the game knew that the Philippine team was not soft at the last moment and scored continuously, while the Chinese team seemed a little distracted and did not care, and then gave the difference to 20+.
Li Kyle returned directly to the United States after the World Cup, although he could not help the Chinese team achieve the set goals, and his teammates were quite weak, but he still expressed his gratitude to China, saying: "The journey of the World Cup is short and unforgettable, there are many firsts, and there are too many scenes worth recalling repeatedly." Thanks to my motherland and the Chinese Basketball Association for giving me the opportunity to wear the national team jersey; Thanks to the Chinese men's basketball coaching team and brothers, we support and encourage each other; Thank you to countless fans and friends, it is your cheers and shouts that give me infinite strength on the field. I believe that the future of Chinese basketball will be better! ”
Wang Zhelin did not play in the two qualifying matches, and was directly abandoned by Qiao Shuai, and even Zhou Qi retired halfway through the last game, Hu Jinqiu alone supported the inside line with some physical exhaustion, Wang Zhelin still did not get the opportunity to play, which also puzzled many media people and fans.
After the game, Zhu Fangyu talked about wanting to send a message to ask Wang Zhelin why he didn't play, but found that he had deleted his friend by Wang Zhelin. Zhu 8's original words are: In fact, I also want to ask you why the king Zhelin can't play these two games, and do you know the real situation. It's a pity that I don't have Wang Zhelin's WeChat, otherwise I want to contact him directly to ask, whether you apply for not playing by yourself or have other reasons not to play, I can't figure it out. In my basketball career and basketball experience, I have never encountered such a situation.
Many media people also expressed their views on the men's basketball fiasco after the game, and the veteran commentator Yang Jian directly couldn't hold back on the front line, lying on Du Feng's shoulder and crying, he said: It's quite unwilling, feel aggrieved for our players, let's say so much.
4 years ago in the World Cup at the doorstep, former national player Wang Shipeng was "beaten to cry" as a commentator, after the defeat to the Philippines, Ke Fan asked Wang Shipeng to express his opinion, at the beginning of the statement "Say anything, as long as you don't cry", Dapeng said that he promised not to cry, but he choked up when he said it to the emotional part, and almost cried, but fortunately Dapeng endured it. Later, on social media, Wang Shipeng said: Four years, the old injury has not healed, and new pain has been added, when the pain becomes a habit, is it proof to let go.
4 years ago World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team 5 games net minus 10 points, this World Cup 5 games net minus 94 points, with famous coaches, with naturalized foreign aid, the Chinese men's basketball team has regressed, can even lose to the Philippines 21 points, do you think the Chinese men's basketball team can still be saved? After seeing the photos of the men's basketball team, what do you want to say?
