After 00 rectified the workplace, the World Cup exploded the former boss, and the ranking was not as good as China's team into the top 6
How do you play against your boss? Look at the men's basketball World Cup, post-00s players, how to straighten out the workplace!
His name is Artuls Zagars, and the oncoming Blackie is his former boss.
You're welcome, call you an idol
When he played for Bundesliga team Brunswick, this guy called his idol, Schroeder of Germany. In addition to the NBA star, Schroeder, there is also an identity, that is, the majority shareholder of the Bundesliga team Brunswick.
In the quarterfinals of the World Cup, something interesting happened, and the former employees constantly humiliated the former boss with a gorgeous and "coquettish" style. Dry three points, fancy breakthrough, mid-air tie rod, whirlwind rush, various operations and various shows, the last half point, Zagars scored 6 consecutive points, almost single-handedly, led Latvia to complete the reversal, Bertans' last shot made the German break into a cold sweat.
Carey Owen of the Baltics
In this game, Schroeder shot 4 of 26 and scored only 9 points. His former employee, Zagars, scored 24 points and handed out eight assists. Some fans say this is Kyrie Owen of the Baltic Sea.
It's hard to believe that this player, who played so handsome that he had "no friends", is currently unemployed. During the World Cup, FIBA also posted a special post to find a job for Zagars, which read: "Friendly reminder, Zagars is still a free agent. "In this way, the welfare in Europe is not good at all, it is so difficult to find a job, far less than the employment rate of the CBA, which is high and stable."
Looking for a job and still need help from FIBA?
There may be friends who can bar, you are so powerful, why don't you play in the NBA? Zagars was a 2019 draft loser, but there was a reason. At the 2018 European Under-18 Championship, Zagars led Latvia all the way to the final. Scored 35 points in the semifinals. Eat painkillers in the final and fight Serbia. Behind a silver medal was Zagars' ankle, which went from a mild sprain to a torn ligament and had to undergo surgery and a four-month break. This also made him miss the NBA.
Latvia were not favoured before the World Cup, with their number one star Porzingis absent due to a foot injury. This small country on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea has a population of just 1.9 million, less than one-tenth the size of Beijing. In the ranking of FIBA, it is not as good as ours, the Chinese men's basketball team is 27th, Latvia is 29th. Therefore, they are considered to be the sending children of Group H. More experts point out that Latvia does not even have a decent defender.
Break through the encirclement of NBA players
Next, it was Zagars who smacked his face. In the group stage, he scored 22 points in a shocking victory over favourites France. At this time, everyone also believed that it was the French team Tiger napping and Latvia was just a fluke. Then, in the second round, they were upset again, defeating defending champions Spain by 12 points, and the world began to look at Latvia squarely.
20 points to defeat Brazil, just one goal away from eliminating Germany. The World Cup played a lap, this 00, averaging 14.2 points and 6 assists per game, mature to terrifying. What is even more frightening is that such a player does not even have a guaranteed contract in Europe.
Before this World Cup, Latvian basketball, like the Chinese men's basketball team, was at a low ebb. In 2019, they missed the World Cup because their goal difference was not as good as Montenegro. In 2021, they were out of the European Cup qualifiers again, and even the European cup was not eligible to participate, for the first time in more than 20 years.
Plenty of patience and respect for the coach
But the Latvians, in no hurry to cut off the manager. Luca Banci, a rookie coach with no glamorous resume and no outstanding national team, went on to lead Latvia and eventually scored an impressive 11-1 record in the European qualifiers before securing a ticket to the World Cup.
A number of main players are injured, this stupid coach, do not find difficulties, do not talk about reasons, give a 00-year-old Zalgas, and return you a World Cup final six. This may be the mystery of the dark horse, thanks to Latvia, telling us what basketball is!
Real name envies Latvian fans
