From today on is the king

Chapter 1297 1296. Clouds in Spain (510 ask for a monthly ticket)
"We must work hard. We have the opportunity to become the number one in the world. We cannot live up to the expectations of the fans and the cultivation of the country... Friendship comes first and competition comes second..."

Looking at Wei Yuanli's passionate look, Liu Mang really wanted to say: Friendship, your MM approves...

Friendship comes first and competition comes second, so why did you say so many stressful things earlier?
After winning against the United States in the afternoon, before the Chinese team had time to celebrate, the Chinese Basketball Association approached them. They were supposed to go to the games between Greece and Argentina in the evening, but they were delayed.

Obviously, if you win the United States, there will be no pressure. No. 3 can have a better mood and confidence to play in the final.

This is good, obviously very happy mood, made very irritable.

For a full half an hour of non-repetitive long-winded speeches, Liu Mang's head is getting bigger. If he has this kind of spare time to engage in these famous tricks, why not think more about how to promote basketball?

I remember that it was the same situation when I reached the quarterfinals two years ago...

But this time, no one from the Blue Association came to the quarterfinals or even the semifinals. I guess they had confidence in honey, but before the finals, they felt that their words could inspire people, so they came again...

Satisfied with the superiority of showing his official authority, Wei Yuanli left with a group of smiling and potbellied members of the Lanxie. The promotion of official status is just around the corner...

Liu Mang also has nothing to do. From his personal point of view, Wei Yuanli is much better than Cheng Lanxin when he is the director of the National Basketball Association. Wei Yuanli would rather cut the CBA schedule to make less money and increase the training time of the national team. He also charges as little membership fees as possible for players who play in the NBA.

Except for showing off his political achievements and boasting, it has no effect on Liu Mang.

What Liu Mang has to do is to achieve a strong enough performance in the national team during Wei Yuanli's eight-year tenure from 2003 to 2010, in order to have more opportunities for self-control in the national team, and it is also an opportunity for Yao Ming to pave the way for his future career.

If he has won the world championship, then Yao Ming will have more initiative in taking charge of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future, instead of being the top leader but restrained everywhere.

But the teammates... seem to be used to it...

After the members of the Blue Association left, the two veteran players, Guo Shiqiang and Li Nan, greeted the players to go to physiotherapy as soon as possible. After the physiotherapy, they went to dinner, and there was another semi-final to watch at [-]:[-].

This time it is really the opponent's game in the final, so we must pay attention to it.

Looking at his teammates as if nothing happened just now, this psychological endurance...surprisingly good!

Compared with Liu Mang, he was a little uncomfortable, and his teammates didn't care at all. Except for Liu Mang, the national team players basically started to experience these things in their teens. At the beginning, they were either excited or worried about gains and losses because of those words.

But I gradually discovered that playing is not for others, but for myself, for basketball, and for a better future.

Winning glory for the country is a practical action, not an official's mouth.

It's just that everyone likes it, ignoring that Liu Mang rarely experiences these things.

However, most human beings have a mentality of following the crowd, and Liu Mang is the same. Everyone is like this, and Liu Mang's mentality is also relaxed.

……

In the evening, when the Chinese team hurried back to the Saitama Super Arena, the game had already been played for one quarter. It was supposed to be five o'clock when the game ended, and the Blue Association called them to a meeting just after the game ended. In addition to the half-hour-long "inspirational" speech in the middle, it took a full hour, plus physical therapy and other things. When we returned to the arena, it was already 07:30.

Fortunately, the game between the two teams was very intense, and the coaching staff had arrived early, so they didn't miss the game. They didn't need restorative massage and ice packs like the players.

Liu Mang and his teammates arrived late and saw a very exciting second quarter.

The Greek team... really amazing!

The Spanish team needs a double Gasol combination to defend against the Sharks, but in those ten minutes, the Sharks can no longer run or jump after their physical fitness declines, and their physical fitness is poor enough. Maybe he can enter the NBA and lose weight reasonably.

At the beginning of the second half, the overall strong Spanish team regained the advantage and overtook the score. Greece's Spanoulis caused a lot of trouble to Spain's Calderon and Fernandez strikers, but the overall strength of the Spanish team is still very strong.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gasol was suddenly injured!
Without any warning, Gasol just sat down and rested for a while at the end of the third quarter, then stood up and felt uncomfortable in his feet, stomped his feet, and then a sharp pain made the big man standing on top of the world sit on the floor and couldn't stand up!
Spain just overtook the score in the second half of the third quarter and overtook the score by 10 points, ending the first three quarters with 62 to 52. The Spanish team was in good momentum, and Gasol fell!
The Spanish team with Gasol, Calderon, and Gasol Jr., the three major passing masters, is like a dancing dancer in the World Series. Their style of play is gorgeous and smooth, unlike the Chinese team that relies on the talents of two superstars to lead a group of pitchers; it is not like the US team. There are countless talented players, and there is a gap between the talents of Argentina. They rely on the tacit cooperation of playing together for many years...and Gasol!

Gasol is down, and the big screen is given a temporary check
Seeing Gasol hugging his feet with tears streaming down his face, Liu Mang suddenly recalled that Gasol did not participate in the final of the 2006 World Championships, and the insiders of the Greek team were also injured in the final.

And Gasol did not participate in the finals because of a foot metatarsal fracture, that is, a bone in the direction of the toe extending to the ankle was broken!

This is a kind of strain injury. Gasol has been playing professional games since 1998. The intensity of European leagues is actually higher than that of the NBA. There are hundreds of games a year in club games, EuroLeague and cup games. Barcelona Basketball Club is also the top team in Europe. Almost all clubs play cup games and league games.

Moreover, Gasol has to represent the Spanish basketball national team in the European Championships, World Championships, European Cup, World Cup and other competitions. Just like Yao Ming, he is tired!
Liu Mang clearly remembered that in the original time and space, Yao Ming was finally reimbursed because his toe was broken many times!
