Beep.
The sound of the timer ending in the stadium sounded, and the game was declared over.
There were no miracles for the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team at the last minute. They eventually lost to the Chinese Taipei team 80-84.
After the live game, the players of the Chinese Taipei team gathered together to hug and celebrate very excitedly. It was not easy for them to win this game. Before the game started, not many people thought they could win.
Who would have thought that they would win the game under such unfavorable circumstances.
The fans at the scene politely gave some applause, followed by many fans who wildly booed the China Men's Basketball Team.
Some people even went to the front of the stands to shout angrily.
"What do you do for food? You can't even beat a provincial team..."
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots! I spent so much money to buy scalper tickets to come in and see the game... I support you so much, but you idiots lose. Can you deserve me?"
"Just cancel the national men's basketball team! You guys are just having fun like this! Damn it! A bunch of rubbish..."
The fans' words were quite sharp. At one point, the Chinese men's basketball players on the team bench couldn't even raise their heads.
It was under this situation that Zhao Feiyang's presence made the scene a little embarrassing.
I don’t know who shouted first, but others also followed.
"Zhao Feiyang, come back!"
"Zhao Feiyang, come back!"
"Zhao Feiyang, come back!"
This undoubtedly slapped the young players hard in the face, and also made Zhao Feiyang who was sitting in his seat very embarrassed. In this situation, it would be very difficult for him to handle it no matter what.
Either offend the fans or the players of the national team!
So he chose to leave quickly. In order to let himself escape smoothly, he did not leave the crowded crowd. Instead, he said hello to the on-site security personnel, then climbed down from the stands and took Jiang Qiuyue towards the player tunnel. Go.
The security personnel also knew Zhao Feiyang's reputation. Instead of blocking him, they helped Zhao Feiyang provide protection.
"Coach Su, hello."
"I am Zhao Feiyang."
Before leaving the arena, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to walk up to coach Su Mingtao. Su Mingtao was depressed, but when he saw Zhao Feiyang coming over on his own initiative, a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Hello, Feiyang!"
"I have long admired your great name!"
Zhao Feiyang nodded and pulled coach Su Mingtao aside, "Chairman Xin told me before that he does not require me to return to the team as soon as possible, but under the current situation... I will report to the team tomorrow!"
"I just have a request... My fiancée is with me now. I must go back to accompany her after training every day. Then I will not live with everyone in the training base..."
Su Mingtao originally thought that Zhao Feiyang was asking for special privileges, but when he heard that he was just to spend time with his family, he immediately agreed without thinking.
"That's easy to say! I can make the decision now... But if there is an inspection from above, you have to cooperate with us in this special situation... Other times, it's not a problem..."
"Thanks."
After a short conversation, Su Mingtao finally saw a hint of expectation on his face.
Zhao Feiyang also went over to say hello to Xin Yong.
"Brother Feiyang."
"What's going on with you guys? How come you were so good in the first half and suddenly lost so much in the second half?"
Xin Yong shook his head helplessly and explained in a low voice in Zhao Feiyang's ear, "Coach Su is not qualified enough, and many players are dissatisfied with him... That guy named Zhang Hao has a great background, he is the team captain, and also The biggest thorn..."
After hearing Xin Yong's description, Zhao Feiyang immediately understood the general situation of the team.
"Okay, I understand...I have already told Coach Su that I will return to the team tomorrow..."
"see you tomorrow!"
Xin Yong was overjoyed to hear that Zhao Feiyang would return to the team tomorrow.
"As long as you come back..."
"With Brother Feiyang in the team, we won't have any opponents at the Asian Games..."
After the conversation between the two parties ended, Zhao Feiyang also left from the player tunnel immediately.
The reason why he left early was because he keenly discovered that many fans on both sides of the stands were staring eagerly at the young players of the China Men's Basketball Team.
When he walked by, the attitude of the eagerly watching fans was completely different. They were either excited or happy. Many of them temporarily put down their lighters and mineral water bottles and stretched out their hands in an attempt to give Zhao Feiyang a high-five.
"Flying!"
"Zhao Feiyang!"
Fans screamed and shouted.
Zhao Feiyang protected Jiang Qiuyue by his side and stretched out his hand to high-five the fans.
After he successfully passed through the players' tunnel, Zhao Feiyang heard a sound of criticism coming from behind him.
The fans who were so happy just now suddenly changed their faces and started taunting and insulting the young Chinese men's basketball players who came up from behind.
"A bunch of trash!"
"You can lose even if you play against the provincial team! What use do you want?"
"Su Mingtao steps down! You can't even control the players, what else can you do with your special code?"
The lighters and mineral water bottles prepared earlier came in handy at this time. Many fans almost lost their minds. They picked up these items and threw them at the players crazily.
For a moment, all the players ran away crazily with their heads in their hands, even Su Mingtao.
However, he was a little bit of a thief. When he noticed that the security personnel on the side were actively covering him up, he deliberately lowered his body and hid under the security personnel, thus successfully avoiding the objects thrown by the fans.
It's just a pity that the security personnel at the scene, even though they were prepared, still had some bruises and bruises.
"Holy shit!"
"Are these bastards crazy?"
"Isn't it just a loss? I'm so excited! I almost hit my employer..."
After entering the tunnel, the young players cursed and walked towards the locker room.
Zhao Feiyang noticed that most people didn't look apologetic or introspective, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It's okay to lose to the Chinese Taipei team, but to lose when the opponent's strength is not as good as our own is really unforgivable!
In the past, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team also lost games that it shouldn't have lost at a certain period of time, and there were even incidents such as "Laughing Gate".
What is puzzling is that the players involved in the "Smirking Gate" and other incidents were not role players. Instead, they were the most anticipated players in the eyes of Chinese fans and the pillars of the Chinese men's basketball team at the time.
That night, the news that the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Chinese Taipei team topped the hot search list.
Although many fans have not watched the game, or many passerby fans do not watch basketball at all, this does not affect their ridicule and doubts about the China Men's Basketball Team.
For a time, the Internet showed a one-sided situation. Compared with the last time the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Chinese Taipei team, the curses this time were even worse.
"Leading by 20 points in the first half? Was tied in the second half? And lost? Damn! How did this happen?"
"It's okay to select young players, but why don't any of the talented players who have performed well in the past come? Is this possible?"
"Zhao Feiyang has raised the level of Chinese basketball and made too many people think that we are really good... Mader, I think it is better to put the men's basketball training base next to the men's football team in the future! Anyway, these two guys are bad chess players. Basket..."
"Don't say it yet, don't say it yet...if the men's football team encounters the Chinese Taipei team, I guess they really can't lose..."
"Disband the Chinese Men's Basketball Team! Don't waste everyone's enthusiasm... Just don't play games like this in the future..."
"It's better to wait for Zhao Feiyang to return! With him, all problems can be solved..."
There are various comments on the Internet, and the fans are quickly divided into three camps. Regarding this loss, the fans' attitude is quite clear.
Fans in the first camp are very angry. They believe that the performance of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is too poor and that these newcomers are not useful. They think it is better to let the Men's Basketball Team withdraw from the competition directly, so as to save the remaining face.
Fans in the second camp said it can still be saved, thinking that as long as Zhao Feiyang returns, it will be enough! They also continued to appeal on the Internet, and some people even stood up for moral kidnapping, criticizing Zhao Feiyang for not returning to the national team early despite being able to attend the game!
The number of fans in this camp is the largest and the most excited.
Fans in the third camp said that this lineup is not good. They believe that the return of Zhao Feiyang is not enough. They should also call back all the people who have performed well before. Only in this way can they ensure that they can successfully win the Asian Games championship.
Fans from the three camps had various quarrels on the Internet, which also pushed the losing China Men's Basketball Team to the forefront.
No one expected that just a warm-up match would cause a bigger disturbance than the official game of the Games.
——
Half past eleven in the evening.
In a luxury hotel in Yangcheng City, Zhao Feiyang and his fiancée Jiang Qiuyue were having a game. Before the official one-on-one duel began, Zhao Feiyang was also actively conducting warm-up activities.
He knew very well that Jiang Qiuyue's defense was becoming more and more terrifying, but as a professional player, he had always been very strong in terms of physical fitness, so he was not worried that his offense would be intercepted.
Jiang Qiuyue seemed to be very concerned about what she said during the day. Before the warm-up match started, she put on a hot short skirt and deliberately danced the dance she had learned in front of Zhao Feiyang.
After this operation, Zhao Feiyang immediately fell into endless restlessness.
However, just as he was about to start warming up, a phone call came to him at an inappropriate time.
Zhao Feiyang was so angry that he was about to curse, but found that the call was from Yao Ming.
"Um?"
"Brother Yao?"
Zhao Feiyang knew that Yao Ming would never call him without a problem, especially so late.
If you call him now, there must be something important.
"Hello!"
Zhao Feiyang chose to answer the phone.
A familiar and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, but it was a little different from usual. Zhao Feiyang could tell that the voice was full of fatigue.
"Feiyang, I'm really sorry for calling you so late... I just finished the meeting. This time the men's basketball team lost the game. The public opinion outside is very unfavorable to us..."
"Coach Su reported to me. He said that you will return to the team tomorrow... I am very happy that you will stand up when the national team is in such a difficult time. On behalf of the national team, I thank you..."
"However, there are some things I must tell you... Chairman Xin is no longer in charge of the national team affairs now, it is all handed over to me... Also, this time you return to the country After joining the team, I hope you can help those young players more..."
"Actually, the top management of the national team does not agree to use young players, but if you want the team to remain competitive, you must seize more opportunities to train young players... The pressure of the Asian Games is less than that of the World Cup, so I These young faces were chosen based on their talent and against all opinions..."
"I know Coach Su can't hold on, so I can only ask for your help..."
