Chapter 270 Olympic Standard Bearer
Chapter 270 Olympic Standard Bearer
Before the Olympics, Canada received invitations from many teams, and it was only then that they traveled thousands of miles to Europe to practice with them.
That's right, as a team that has not entered the Olympics, why is it in Europe? It's not that it can make money as a training partner.
Why is Canada so popular?
Of course it's because of the US team.
As the closest country to the United States, Canada even has an NBA team.
Relatively speaking, it must be much easier for Canadian players to enter the NBA, or to get in touch with the NBA.
As a result, many national teams regard the Canadian team as a substitute for the US team.
It's just that the strength gap between the two is a bit big, one is a world champion, and the other can't even enter the Olympics.
This is also helpless, everyone wants to play a warm-up match with the US team, but the US team has no way to do it!
It can be said that all basketball teams in the world regard the US team as their imaginary enemy.
When it was impossible to play against the US team, Canada had to be regarded as an imaginary enemy.
The Chinese team thinks so too.
Of course, the Chinese team and the American team are not in the same group, so there is no need to worry too much.
In fact, if you really think of Canada as the US team, it is of no use at all.
Because, in the game against Canada, the Hua Guo team won easily.
Moreover, Canada has no energy at all, and it seems that it is completely coping with the task.
The half-month European training is over, and the Huaguo team has a preliminary understanding of the climate in Europe.
On July 7, the Huaguo team chose to return to China. Next, they have three warm-up matches.
There are still three teammates, Croatia, Australia and Canada.
Perhaps because of the home game, the Huaguo team performed quite well with the support of the fans.
Of course, Chen Mo only played one game, mainly against Croatia.
Yao Ming also only played one game, against Australia, and won both games.
After all, the current task of the national team is mainly to select players, and the victory of the game is not the most important thing.
These three games have made the fans happy.
Although Chen Mo only saw one match and Yao Ming hadn't played yet, everyone was still very happy.
As early as a year ago, that is, when Chen Mo had just stepped into everyone's attention, fans were already expecting him to wear the national team jersey.
Today, the expectations of the past have finally come true. Watching Chen Mo fight for the country, it seems that they are also winning glory for the country.
Of course, things haven't really been smooth sailing.
Although according to the plan of Harris and others, Chen Mo and Yao Ming were deliberately played separately in order to create rumors that the two did not work well together.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to confuse the opponent.
But now, it is still unknown whether the opponent has been confused, and there are already some voices in the country.
"Basketball is following in the footsteps of football in Huaguo. How to get out of the third world position?"
No, just when the national team was about to set off, some media couldn't sit still and directly criticized it.
Although there was some meaning of mourning his misfortune and angering him indisputable in the words, it still made people very uncomfortable to watch.
The author of this article was extremely unhappy with the performance of Huaguo basketball, and even used words such as "poor" to comment on the men's basketball team.
Especially for the CBA league, and for the newly established professional league, it is even more cursed.
He turned a blind eye to the hard training of the men's basketball players and the dedication of the men's basketball team.
Are these words right?
At least yes, whether it is the Huaguo men's basketball team or the CBA league, there are huge problems.
But the question is, is it meaningful for you to write such an article at this time?
On the occasion of the expedition, it is a blow to the confidence of the national team and the confidence of the fans. It is rare that you can help the national team like this?
Even in the article, the expectation of the Western countries is occasionally revealed, especially the example is how the Western countries are...
This makes people very uncomfortable.
As the questioning articles became bigger and bigger, some media have noticed that Yao Ming and Chen Mo have not played at the same time.
"Chen Mo and Yao Ming are at odds!"
"The two superstars of the national team do not match, is it good or bad for the national team?"
"A superficially strong lineup is far inferior to a more suitable lineup."
……
A group of people are very confident, just like the blind monk who discovered Huadian, and wished to point the nose of the national team to teach them how to play.
It's a pity that the national team does not allow a response, and also requires an interview, so it is impossible for him to say anything.
So, I had no choice but to ignore the newspapers and train hard. I will be heading to Europe in a few days.
In late July, the Huaguo men's and women's basketball teams finally announced the final 7-man roster.
Yao Ming, Chen Mo, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Mo Ke, Du Feng, Yi Jianlian, Battelle, Chen Ke, Zhang Jinsong, Guo Shiqiang.
At the center position, Yao Ming and Battelle are naturally supporting the inside line, while Moko and Yi Jianlian are the main power forwards.
Of course, including Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu, they are also able to play power forwards.
As for the point guard, there are Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang and Chen Ke, and Chen Mo can also play a cameo.
The rest are the swingmen on the forward and defensive lines, and the selection of the lineup is still reasonable.
"Da Yao, Xiao Chen, come here."
Before the Olympic Games, Kuang Lubin found Chen Mo and Yao Ming, as if there was something wrong.
"That's right, the Olympic Games are about to start, isn't it necessary to determine the Olympic flag bearer?
The flag bearers in our country are all male basketball players these years. The Sports Bureau cares about the two of you. Discuss with the two of you. Who will be the flag bearer? "
Chen Mo was a little dazed, such a big matter, did she just make such a quiet decision?
However, if I want to come to the Sports Bureau, I already have a preliminary idea, and I have to choose one of the two.
That's right, the flag bearer of the Huaguo team has always been selected from the men's basketball team. First of all, the men's basketball team has the best performance among the three major goals, but the men's basketball teammate is tall and strong, which just reflects the image of Huaguo.
As a Chinese, he has always been humble, but who can easily give up such a huge honor?
During the Sydney Olympic Games, when Yao Ming saw Liu Yudong become the flag bearer, he hoped for such a day.
As for Chen Mo, he also has the same idea, this is an athlete representing the entire country!
"Then give it to Dayao!"
In the end, Chen Mo spoke up. Not only Yao Ming, but also Kuang Lubin was a little surprised.
Such a huge honor, give up if you say you want to give up?
But Chen Mo is very clear, first of all, Yao Ming deserves it, and besides that, everyone is probably more inclined to Yao Ming.
If you really want to decide that Chen Mo will be the standard bearer, then you don't need to make a fuss, you have to ask again.
In fact, the national team is indeed more inclined to Yao Ming.
It's just that Chen Mo's status and strength are there, and the Sports Bureau can't turn a blind eye.
What's more, in terms of popularity and other aspects, Chen Mo's image is more suitable.
That's why I asked this question. In the end, the two must give in to each other, and it would be more appropriate for the Sports Bureau to make a decision.
