Chapter 1398 Stopping the group stage

"Team China, come on~!"

"Team China, come on~!"

"Team China, come on~!"

Even though the British team has fallen behind by a large score, even if there is no hope of reversal, the fans of the Chinese team on the sidelines are still shouting and cheering for the team.

Perhaps for these fans in foreign lands, being able to watch a game of their home country team at such a close distance is enough, and it is already very good.

They have long since stopped extravagant about winning or losing.

But as the head coach of the Chinese team, Lan Shengli must pursue something.

"There are people in front of the fast break, why don't you pass~?! No matter where you are on the field, you have to pass the ball for such an opportunity~!"

Even if it's garbage time, Lan Shengli will still call a timeout to correct the players' problems.

"Don't forget that we are a whole, don't just think about showing off, this is not a street court~!!!, understand~!!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind.

The young players are back on the field.

And the main players such as Yi Jianlian have already put on their coats, watching the game with a serious expression.

Their journey to the London Olympics should have come to an end.

For veterans like Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei, perhaps this is also the last Olympic Games of their careers, and it is also the last game right now.

An era is quietly ending.

"Dum~!!!!"

"Yeah~!!!"

At the end of the pizza, the fans of the British team cheered, as happy as witnessing the team's victory.

For this football country, it is not bad that the basketball team can achieve such results.

As for the Chinese team, although they achieved the set goal, won a victory, and defeated the Russian team in an upset, they failed to reach the top eight again and stopped the group stage, which is somewhat regrettable.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

Lan Shengli shook hands with the opponent's head coach, and after shaking hands with Luol Deng and other players, he applauded the Chinese fans on the sidelines.

Then he left the field in a hurry.

Lan Shengli's first trip to the World Series as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team came to an end.

From hastily taking over the team, to reforming the team, to improving performance in the warm-up match, to the amazing start of the Olympics, to defeating the Russian team in an upset, and now regretting to stop in the group stage, the Chinese team did not create a miracle in the end.

It will take a lot of time for the Chinese team in the post-Yao Ming era to return to the top eight in the world.

"How do you evaluate the team's trip to the Olympics~?!"

While speaking, the post-match press conference has already begun.

The reporter from China asked first in Chinese.

"Obviously we have gained and regretted~"

Lan Shengli put his hands on the table, and said with a helpless expression.

"We showed the performance of beating the top European teams like Russia, but that performance did not last long, our main players suffered injuries, and our offensive and defensive performance was still far from the top teams in the world. There's a huge gap~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Fortunately, we still have a victory, which can be regarded as a consolation prize~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Then how do you evaluate your performance in the first World Series as the head coach of the Chinese team~?!"

The Chinese reporter continued to ask.

"Maybe I can do better~, especially after watching the previous group games, I have not had a better grasp of the different rules of FIBA ​​and NBA, and I can arrange more opportunities for the team. The changes in the lineup, and it is precisely because of these areas that can be improved, that I look forward to coaching the team in the future~!!"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"So coaching the Chinese men's basketball team for a long time is already in your plan~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

"That's right, I have maintained a relationship with this team since I got in touch last year. The Basketball Association and I have a lot of agreement on the future development of the team and the direction of the entire Chinese basketball, so~, I think I have the obligation and necessity to continue to make some contributions to the development of Chinese basketball ~, this is what a Chinese basketball player should do ~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"But in this way, will it affect coaching in the NBA~?! After all, NBA coaches rarely coach the national team at the same time~!!"

After understanding Lan Shengli's Chinese answer through the interpreter, the reporter from the United States immediately asked.

"Maybe it will be more or less affected, but in the final analysis, I think I still have a lot of energy. I am still young and have a strong learning ability. I can stay focused during the long season in the NBA. I can also play in the national team. Continue to guide the players~, I like the job of basketball coach, he makes me not feel the kind of sleepiness brought by the job~, on the contrary, it brings only excitement and the expectation of starting a new job every day, the same I also like challenges, that’s what I pursue in life~!”

Lan Shengli immediately replied in English.

"Although I don't know if I can continue to coach in the NBA next season~, haha~"

Lan Shengli continued to add, and laughed helplessly.

"If you can only choose between the NBA head coach and the national team head coach, which one would you choose~?!"

The reporter's questions became more and more caustic.

"Whichever has the highest salary, choose which~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli usually answers this kind of "sensitive" question in a joking way.

After the post-match press conference, Lan Shengli quickly returned to the locker room.

The "post-match summary" link is of course also essential.

The players in the locker room are all busy with their own things, packing their luggage, and preparing to leave the locker room to "make room" for the team in the next game.

"The record of one win and four losses does not sound glorious. Compared with four years ago, it has also regressed a lot, but looking back on the whole process, I think there are many places worthy of our affirmation~!!"

Lan Shengli said to the players.

"Correspondingly, it is worth summarizing, and there are also many places for reflection and improvement ~!!, but these are things we will do when we return to China, and now we can just enjoy the rest of the Olympic time ~! !"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"After all, at least we completed the set task, we won a victory, we defeated a team from Europe, this is already a very remarkable thing, this is something that other Asian teams can't do~! !, you must affirm the outstanding performance you have had~!!!”

Lan Shengli continued to nod sharply and spoke.
