"Victory belongs to the toughest of the toughest." This famous saying is often mentioned in the sports world, but at the end of the recent Olympic journey of the Chinese women's basketball team, it seems to have a little more complicated meaning.
When the girls of the women's volleyball team were still glorious in defeat and won countless applause and respect, the return of the women's basketball team was extraordinarily low-key, with no noisy welcome, only a faint sorrow and deep thought.
And under this tranquility, an unknown "special treatment" storm quietly surfaced.
After the Olympics, the quietness of the women's basketball team's homecoming
As the dust settles on the Paris Olympics, the eyes of Chinese sports fans have shifted from the exciting arena to the return of the athletes.
The perseverance of the women's volleyball team is moving, in contrast, although the early farewell of the women's basketball team is regrettable, it was not expected to be accompanied by such a delicate follow-up.
The women's basketball team quietly returned to the embrace of the motherland, without a grand welcome ceremony and no enthusiastic pursuit under the media spotlight.
This low-key may be an avoidance of expectations and pressures from the outside world, or perhaps, the team is undergoing unknown adjustments and reflections.
In the calm of the women's basketball team's return home, the revelations of a senior sports reporter were like a thunderclap, shaking the entire basketball world.
According to him, in this Olympic cycle, some women's basketball starters tried to make special requests to the national team - hoping to bring personal trainers to the team, and hoping to arrange jobs for their friends in the national team.
The request was firmly rejected at the national team level, and it was not only a matter of management consideration, but also a subtle change in mood among the players.
Some team members are dissatisfied because of this, and even use small injuries to express their emotions, behind this scene, is a profound test of team cohesion and professionalism.
Yao Ming's persistence, the bottom line cannot be touched
In the face of such turmoil, as the helmsman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Yao Ming showed his courage and persistence.
He did not compromise under the pressure of public opinion, but adhered to the principles and bottom line of the national team.
Yao Ming's attitude is clear and resolute, and he knows that once this opening is opened, it will not only destroy the fairness of the team, but also affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire team.
At this point, Yao Ming has undoubtedly become a strong backing to maintain the team's discipline and spirit.
The exposure of this turmoil also makes people have to re-examine the coaching authority and locker room culture of the Chinese women's basketball team.
In the past, both Xu Limin and the current head coach Zheng Wei have faced challenges to varying degrees.
During the Xu Limin period, although there were controversies at the technical and tactical levels, the unity and positive atmosphere within the team were obvious to all.
And now, with the exposure of the special treatment incident, people can't help but worry about whether the women's basketball locker room still maintains that pure competitive spirit and team cohesion.
The responsibility and responsibility behind the honor
Every success or failure of an athlete is a double consideration of national honor and personal responsibility.
As a team carrying countless expectations, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team has naturally attracted wide attention from all walks of life.
Honor is often accompanied by great pressure and responsibility.
In this special treatment turmoil, we see not only the selfishness and short-sightedness of individual team members, but also the true face of the whole team in the face of temptation and challenges.
For every team member, they should be deeply aware of their own responsibilities and responsibilities, and always put the national honor first and the interests of the team first.
When it comes to team spirit, I have to mention the Chinese women's volleyball team.
This team has shown extraordinary cohesion and combat effectiveness in countless international competitions, and has become a role model in the hearts of countless people.
The girls of the women's volleyball team used practical actions to explain what is true team spirit - perseverance in the face of difficulties and humility in the face of victory.
For the Chinese women's basketball team, the fighting spirit of the women's volleyball team is undoubtedly a valuable asset.
They should learn from the women's volleyball team, take unity and hard work as their motto, and constantly improve their competitive level and psychological quality.
I would like to say:
In the aftermath of this turmoil, we have come to a deeper understanding that teamwork and responsibility are indispensable qualities, whether in sports or other fields.
For the Chinese women's basketball team, this incident is undoubtedly a profound lesson and wake-up call.
But as the saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success." "As long as they can learn from it, sum up their experience, and keep moving forward, they will be able to shine more brightly on the road ahead."
Here, I also hope that readers and friends can leave your views and suggestions in the comment area, let us cheer for the Chinese women's basketball team and look forward to their bright future together!
