Chapter 1297 1296. The Clouds of Spain (510 for monthly tickets)

"We must work hard. We have a chance to become the world's number one. We must not disappoint the fans' expectations and the country's cultivation...Friendship first and competition second..."

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

Friendship first and competition second, why did you say so many pressure-inducing words before?

After winning the United States in the afternoon, the Chinese team had no time to celebrate before the Basketball Association came to visit. I was originally going to watch the game between Greece and Argentina in the evening, but it was delayed.

Obviously, there is no pressure after winning the United States. No. 3 can have a better mood and confidence to play in the finals.

This is good. I am obviously in a very happy mood, but I am very irritated.

After a full half-hour of long-winded speeches without repeating myself, Liu Mang was overwhelmed. If you have this kind of free time to do these things, why not think more about how to promote basketball?

I remember the same situation when we made it to the quarterfinals two years ago...

However, this time, no one from the Blue Association came to the quarterfinals or even the semifinals. It is estimated that they had a lot of confidence, but before the finals, they felt that their words could inspire people, so they came again...

Satisfied with the sense of superiority of showing official power, Wei Yuanli left with a group of smiling and bulging Blue Association people. Promotion is just around the corner...

Liu Mang has nothing to do. From his personal point of view, Wei Yuanli is much better than Cheng Lanxin as the director of the Blue Association. Wei Yuanli would rather cut the CBA schedule and make less money, but increase the national team training time. He also collects as little membership fees as possible from players playing in the NBA. He is the leader of the Blue Association who is most conducive to Liu Mang's national team career.

Apart from showing off his political achievements and boasting, Liu Mang has no effect.

What Liu Mang has to do is to play a strong enough national team performance during Wei Yuanli's eight-year term from 2003 to 2010, so that he can 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 had won the world championship, Yao Ming would have more initiative in the future when he was in charge of the Chinese men's basketball team, instead of being the top leader but being restricted everywhere.

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

After the basketball association left, Guo Shiqiang and Li Nan, two veterans, called the players to go for physical therapy quickly. After the physical therapy, they would go to dinner, and there would be another semi-final to watch at 7 o'clock.

This time it was really the opponent's game in the finals, and we must pay attention.

Looking at the teammates as if nothing had happened just now, their psychological endurance... was unexpectedly good!

Compared with Liu Mang who was a little uncomfortable, 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 would be excited or worried about those words.

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

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

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

However, most people have a herd mentality, and so does Liu Mang. Since everyone does this, Liu Mang also relaxes.

…

When the Chinese team hurried back to the Saitama Super Arena in the evening, the game had already been played for one quarter. The game was supposed to end at five o'clock, but they were called to a meeting by the Blues Association right after the game. In addition to the half-hour "inspiring" speech in the middle, it took a full hour, plus physical therapy and other things. When they returned to the stadium, it was already 7:30.

Fortunately, the game between the two teams was very tense, and the coaching staff arrived early and did not miss the game. They did not need to do restorative massages and ice packs like the players.

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

The Greek team... is really amazing!

The Spanish team needs a double Gasol combination to defend the little shark, but it was only in those ten minutes. After the little shark's physical fitness declined, he could not run or jump, and his physical fitness was very poor. Maybe he would enter the NBA and lose weight reasonably, and he could become a very good third inside player or pseudo starter in the NBA. He has a mid-range shot and is strong, but the European clubs would not let him go.

At the beginning of the second half, the overall strong Spanish team regained the advantage and overtook the score. Spanoulis of the Greek team caused great trouble to the forwards of Calderon and Fernandez of Spain, but the overall strength of the Spanish team is still very strong.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gasol was suddenly injured!

There was no sign. Gasol just sat down and rested for a while during the intermission after the end of the third quarter. After standing up, he felt uncomfortable in his feet, stamped his feet, and then a sharp pain made this big man standing on the 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 reversed the difference 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., three great passers, is like a dancing dancer in the World Series. Their playing style is gorgeous and smooth. Unlike the Chinese team, which relies on the talents of two superstars to lead a group of pitchers; unlike the American team, which has countless talented players, and the talent gap with Argentina, they rely on the tacit cooperation of playing together for many years... and Gasol!

Gasol fell down, and the big screen was given to the temporary inspection

Looking at Gasol holding his feet, tears came down. Liu Mang suddenly recalled that Gasol did not participate in the 2006 World Championships finals, and the Greek team's inside players were also injured in the finals. Both sides were injured. It must be that the Greek team with fewer stars suffered a loss, but the Spanish team won the World Championships with a score of 70 to 47 in the finals.

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

This is a kind of overwork 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, including club games, European basketball leagues and cup games. Barcelona Basketball Club is also the top team in Europe, and almost all club cup games and leagues have to be played.

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 overworked!

Liu Mang clearly remembers that in the original time and space, Yao Ming was finally reimbursed because of the fracture of his toe bones that were broken many times!
