Basketball glory

After the opening ceremony, the intense game schedule began the next day. The basketball game started on the afternoon of the 6th local time in Brazil. Australia played France. That evening, China played the United States.

According to the official Olympic strength statistics, the U.S. team and the Spanish team are far ahead of other teams in first and second place. The Spanish team led by Pau Gasol is also recognized as the team closest to the U.S. team in strength.

Although they lost to the United States in 2008 and 2012 and won consecutive silver medals, in the eyes of many people, Spain is still expected to defeat the American team.

The second tier is led by Argentina, led by Ginobili and Luis Scola. Although the Argentine national team's record in some recent games is not bad, the aging situation is very serious. The two main players are both over 35 years old.

Whether he can play his role in high-intensity competitions still needs to be answered in a big way.

The Chinese team was placed at the bottom of the second tier, ranking sixth in terms of overall strength. However, considering the record of the last Olympic Games, I am afraid I can only laugh it off.

The leading team in the third tier is the Australian national team. Although it has Bogut, David Anderson, Mills Baynes and others, it is still not favored because Australia's cooperation is really unflattering. However,

There are many talented players, which also gives people who support the Australian national team great hope.

The other teams in the third tier are not familiar with them, and there is not a lot of information for reference. Therefore, the first task Gong Luming assigned to the players is to "watch", watch their video tapes, watch their live games, and see their playing style.

Gong Luming is full of confidence, because there are only three or four strong teams among the 12 teams this year, and the level of other teams is not much different. It is not impossible to repeat the Olympic results of Yao's era.

But when he thought of An Ran's injury, Gong Luming was itching with hatred. Once the game started in the evening, he couldn't hide it anymore. It was still unknown how much trouble it would cause.

The players were injured before the game! I am afraid that the chairman of the Basketball Association Yu Zaiqing and the head coach will be questioned by various media again, but Gong Luming's mentality is still very good at this moment, because he is divided into Group A and will face the third level.

France, Serbia and Australia can hopefully wash away the shame of losing all five games.

Before the battle in the evening, because the safety gauze had not been removed, I was greeted by the attentive media when I arrived at the gymnasium.

Caught.

"How about giving way? Let's prepare first. The competition is about to begin."

When entering the basketball stadium, you can see a lot of reporters crowded at the door.

In fact, the organizer has allocated special filming and interview areas for them, but who cares about this? Getting first-hand news means traffic. To put it bluntly, it means popularity and money.

As for whether I can get a medal, what does it matter?

"Do you have the confidence to get a good start against the US team today?"

"An Ran, is your hand injured? Will you play today?"

"Hello, I am a reporter from Phoenix Sports. May I ask..."

"Coach Gong Luming, what do you think about the lineup arrangement?"

An Ran glanced at it and found that most of the media here were from China. Presumably, the foreign media were all trying to block the American team.

But everyone had no intention of stopping. Each one was more anxious than the other and wanted to go back to the dressing room to change clothes. It was not yet time for interviews.

"An Ran, may I ask why you hurt yourself before the game?"

Ju Ran glanced at the reporter with a flat head who followed him with all his heart, and glanced at An Ran next to him. It was obvious that such a sensitive topic could easily be misunderstood. If they didn't respond directly, I'm afraid they would dare to write a random "An Ran"

Articles such as “The team’s fans were harmed by their ignorance, they entered the venue without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the team was tense”.

He didn't plan to say anything at first, but after seeing Ju Ran's eyes, An Ran stopped and said to the excited reporter: "The injury was an accident, don't worry. I will take good care of my injury and play well."

"

Then, with the reporter's confused eyes, he walked into the venue coolly.

Ju Ran, who heard this sentence from the side, shook his head and secretly screamed, An Ran had a very high emotional intelligence, how could he say this? Although these unscrupulous reporters are very annoying, the pens in their hands are very powerful.

.

Gong Luming came over and patted An Ran, took a small notebook and a black gel pen, and handed them to An Ran's hand regardless of his confused eyes.

"I'll give you a task. Record the mistakes you think the team made in this game. Whether it's personal characteristics or the team as a whole, you think it's okay.

You can write down any areas for improvement." After Gong Luming finished speaking, he led the other players to the locker room, leaving An Ran walking to the bench alone.

In fact, during the warm-up match, Gong Luming could see that An Ran was very competitive. Even though everyone knew that they had lost in the training match, An Ran insisted on playing every minute with all his strength and continued to play after the game.

Actively come up with ideas and help provide opinions.

But at that time, not many people could listen to An Ran's words. Whether it was Wang Zhelin or Yi Jianlian, they were both very proud people. They might listen to their opinions off the court, but they absolutely insisted on their own ideas on the court.

An Ran was surprised. She didn't expect Gong Luming to see this clearly, so he arranged for himself to be an analyst and wait until the end of the game to sum up his experience.

"safely!"

A woman's voice called her name softly, so softly that it was almost inaudible.

Looking back, he saw Ellie wearing a light blue mask waving to him. The baggy trousers completely covered her attractive long legs, and the black veil covered the suspenders. Her dress was very close to life. But

This height is not something that only girls can have. Even though she is wearing flat shoes, she still attracts the attention of others.

"Why are you dressed like this and afraid to see people?" An Ran asked funny. She was such a big girl, wrapped up as if she was about to spend the winter.

Through the mask, An Ran could feel her disdainful tone and said, "There can't be any scandals now! It's very serious!"

"Hey, don't all celebrities need hype? Why do you act like you don't dare to meet people?"

"Please, my big brother, it depends on who is making the hype. You are an athlete that no one in the United States has heard of..."

An Ran snorted and said, "Get angry and leave!" Then he turned around and left.

Ai Li looked around and found that no one was paying attention. She directly took An Ran's arm and felt the softness of her arm. An Ran was startled and a little at a loss.

Then he saw her lying on his shoulder, blowing into his ears, and with a gust of fragrant wind, Ai Li's soft words came over: "It's not you, stinky man, you think I don't know

Who is Xie Ziyun!"

Then, before An Ran could react, he let go of his arm and jumped towards the auditorium.
