16. After the game
In the first game of the Olympic group stage on July 29, the Chinese men's basketball team naturally lost to the Spanish men's basketball team, the most powerful team in the group.
70:85, the low scores and the large gap between the two sides made the first Olympics of the Chinese men's basketball team lose all their faces. Before the opening ceremony of the Olympics began, the Chinese men's basketball team had already won and lost in Group B, ranking last in the group.
However, the only thing that allowed Chinese fans to find a hint of relief in this loss was that Wu Dawei, the number one star of the Chinese men's basketball team, played for fifteen minutes in this game, contributing 11 points and 5 assists to the team, as well as 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
Wu Dawei is the only hope for the Chinese men's basketball team at this Olympics. After all, after Yao Ming retired, Wu Dawei was the only player who was truly influential in the Chinese team in the World Championships.
Fans are not disappointed with Wu Dawei's Olympic debut, but they will never think that Wu Dawei's performance can make people feel satisfied.
In the eyes of Chinese fans, Wu Dawei cannot only perform like this in the Olympics. If Wu Dawei only performs like this, then the Chinese team can pack it home in advance.
The reason why Chinese fans can accept such a result is, firstly, because Wu Dawei's injury, after all, Wu Dawei went to the Olympics with injuries; secondly, because the Spanish team's strength is indeed very strong. Even at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team had the right time, place and people, but they were defeated by the Spanish.
Not to mention that this time it was in London, England, where the emperor was far away. The Chinese team was not as strong as others in the away game, and the number one star was injured.
All of this is why Chinese fans can temporarily accept such a result, and fans also believe that the team will gradually improve in the next game.
Although there are only five games in the group stage, and now after losing the game against the Spanish men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team has four group games left, but Chinese fans are still patient.
Because after this game, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade, also told reporters when he was interviewed by domestic media that Wu Dawei's injury was improving.
When the reporters asked whether Wu Dawei would start in the next game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Russian men's basketball team, Deng Huade gave the reporter an answer that was enough to make everyone feel some excitement.
"Yes, it's possible! But all this will ultimately depend on the team doctor's arrangement. You know, Wu Dawei is the core of the Chinese men's basketball team. We need to be very careful about his injuries! But we all believe that Wu Dawei will not disappoint us!"
Although Deng Huade did not clearly state that Wu Dawei would start in the next second game, there was a possibility. This was enough to make domestic fans feel excited and happy. Judging from the first game, although Wu Dawei only played for 15 minutes, his performance during the game cannot be said to be outstanding. Of course, if you compare Wu Dawei's performance in the second game of the finals, it is naturally a place in the sky and an underground.
But if we look at the performance of other players in this game, Wu Dawei's efficiency is even the highest in the game, which is much higher than the Spanish men's basketball shooting guard and the "bomb" Navarro who broke the game!
Although Wu Dawei is currently affected by injuries, it is not certain whether he will start in the next group match, but fans can be sure that Wu Dawei's condition is indeed very good.
And this is not only felt by domestic fans. After the game, Wu Dawei's performance in this game was also recognized by the head coach of the opponent's Spanish men's basketball team, Scarioro.
As the hottest number one star in basketball today, Wu Dawei's performance is of course highly anticipated. Especially after he went to the Olympics with an injury, he attracted international attention.
Not only domestic fans are paying attention to Wu Dawei's performance and situation, but foreign media are also paying attention to the Chinese star. At the post-match press conference of the Spanish Men's Basketball Team, a foreign media reporter asked Scarioro, the head coach of the Spanish Men's Basketball Team, what he thought about Wu Dawei's performance in this game.
Scarioro praised Wu Dawei's performance and said: "I'm very glad Wu Dawei did not start in today's game. I'm glad his injury has not fully recovered!"
Such a statement is undoubtedly the greatest recognition and affirmation of Wu Dawei. Even the Chinese reporters who came to attend this press conference couldn't help but straighten their backs a lot after hearing Scarioro's words.
A Wu Dawei who has not yet recovered can beat a famous foreign coach so much. If Wu Dawei recovers completely, he will not be able to make your head shit...
However, Wu Dawei's performance in such a short playing time in the first game was indeed enough to deserve such a praise. Because after he played in the second quarter of this game, he really scared the Spaniard in a cold sweat.
But when Wu Dawei played in the second half, the score difference was too big and he was unable to turn things around...
After the game, all parties praised Wu Dawei's performance in this game. What was Wu Dawei doing after the game?
He walked off the stadium with his teammates. Although when he entered the player channel, Wu Dawei once again quarreled with the Spanish fans, and both sides greeted each other.
The security guards on the scene were also shocked for a while, but fortunately, the two sides were just verbally scolding and there was no physical conflict. This is the best thing for basketball players than football players. At least ordinary fans dare not easily fight with a basketball player who is 200 cm tall and full of tendons, while the height of football players is generally more popular.
So even though the Spanish fans scolded Wu Dawei happily, they never crossed the thunder pool. Wu Dawei glared at him and probably had oil under their feet...
This was an unpleasant experience. In fact, this game seemed somewhat unpleasant for Wu Dawei. Because no matter how he performed, the team lost the game, who would be willing to lose the game?
For Wu Dawei, who just won the NBA 2011-2012 championship and has been winning the NBA for almost a season, he is the least willing to see the loss happen. Since the playoffs kicked off in April, he has almost forgotten the feeling of losing.
But obviously, this feeling is no stranger to the national team...
Wu Dawei returned to the locker room with his teammates, then took a hot shower, and changed into clean and refreshing clothes. Wu Dawei and his teammates were about to walk out of the arena. After all, it was still afternoon, and after the game, Deng Huade did not ask the players to train again, so it can be said that it is one of the few personal time on the game day.
Although Wu Dawei has not been with his national teammates for a long time, everyone is still familiar with each other. After taking a shower, Wu Dawei walked out of the locker room with Yi Li, a handsome hairstyle guy in the team.
But after walking two steps, he met an acquaintance. Wu Dawei and Yi Li walked towards the passage leading to the underground parking lot, and then saw the basketball girl he had met at the intersection.
She and her teammates stood there so gracefully, and Wu Dawei felt that she was waiting for her. So Wu Dawei rushed forward without saying a word.
"Hi..." Wu Dawei walked to the girl and her companions before greeting him. Yi Li, behind him, stepped forward and said, "Oh, isn't this a sweet girl? What's the matter with your brother?"
A cool girl?
Why did Wu Dawei keep thinking about this? But seeing Yi Li's passionate appearance, they are probably acquaintances. Is she awesome?
"Hi..." Zhao Shuang ignored Yi Li. She had been paying attention to Wu Dawei, of course she saw Wu Dawei say hello to her, but before she could speak, she was snatched away by Yi Li next to her.
However, before she finished speaking, she was snatched away by Ma Zengyu beside her: "Hi, Wu Dawei, my name is Ma Zengyu, I am your fan!"
The first sentence was sent to Zhao Shuang. She hurriedly said, "Isn't your idol Kobe..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Zengyu glared at Zhao Shuang, then turned his head and continued to say to Wu Dawei: "After you have taken five pairs, you are my number one idol!"
Ma Zengyu clenched his fists with his hands, put them on his chest with a "pretty" admiration expression on his face, and said, "You were so handsome when you took five pairs!"
"Haha!" Wu Dawei smiled proudly, waved his hand, and said, "I understand, in fact, everyone calls me... the all-round handsome guy!"
Wu Dawei didn't know why he acted so lively in front of two strange girls...
"This nickname is very suitable for you!" Ma Zengyu immediately invited: "Dawei, I have a heartless request... You know, our head coach hopes that I can become an all-rounder like you, so... can you teach me some secrets in person..."
The sudden attack of a friend made Zhao Shuang stunned. She never knew that Ma Zengyu actually had this set of skills... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
