I don't know when it started, a kind of self-deprecating hot stalk became popular on the Internet - #向中国男篮道歉#.
Why is that? It turned out that the opponents who were "familiar and we used to look down on" in last year's World Cup seemed to have "stood up".
Let's start with the South Sudan men's basketball team, which defeated China 89-69 in the World Cup.
In the early morning of July 21, Beijing time, in an Olympic warm-up game, South Sudan lost 100-101 to the United States men's basketball team. But considering that the United States team has superstars such as James and Curry, this result surprised many people.
CBA Zhejiang foreign aid Jones Jr. scored a triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, and CBA Shandong foreign aid Shayok scored a game-high 25 points with James.
Look at Puerto Rico, which defeated the Chinese men's basketball team 107-89 in the World Cup.
On July 8, Beijing time, the Puerto Rico men's basketball team defeated European powerhouse Lithuania 79-68 in the final of the Olympic qualifying tournament and successfully caught the last train of the Paris Olympics.
CBA Guangdong foreign player Waters played well in the series, with 17.2 points and 8.2 assists, which can be called the team's efficient arrow.
In this year's Olympic qualifying round, Puerto Rico defeated strong opponents such as Bahrain, Italy, Mexico and Lithuania, returning to the Olympics after a gap of 20 years. That's right, the last time I saw the country at the Olympics was a classic picture of Arroyo going head-to-head with the Dream Team.
In this regard, Serbia, South Sudan, Puerto Rico, these teams in the same group as China in the World Cup were all selected for the Paris Olympics, and were divided into Group C with the United States team.
Do you think that's the end of it? The Philippine second team, who beat us 77-76 at the Asian Games, also stood up.
In the previous Olympic qualifying match, the Philippine men's basketball team led by planning player Brownlee defeated the European powerhouse Latvian men's basketball team led by NBA star Bertans 89-80. You know, we only lost one point, and we were still beaten by our opponents.
Even when the Philippines were eliminated in the semi-finals, they only lost 60-71 to South American powerhouse Brazil, and they even struggled with their opponents for most of the game. It can be said that the Philippines left standing.
So, the World Cup contains several bitter hosts of the Asian Cup, so powerful? It's not that our army is too weak, but that the opponent is too strong?
Fans wronged Djordjevic, wronged Wang Zhelin, wronged 226?
Is that really the case? Looking forward to your perspective.
