All-round Athlete

Chapter 539

Men's basketball training center.

"I didn't play in the first half? Why? Did you feel unwell somewhere? Do you want to call the team doctor? No, if you feel unwell, I have to report to the regiment immediately!" Coach Liu said with concern.

Zhang Guan took the initiative to propose to the coaching staff that only the second half of the game will be played. The head coach Jonas and the other two assistant coaches have not made a statement yet, but the other assistant coach, Coach Liu, became anxious first. He really cared about Zhang Guan's body.

Coach Liu is different from the other two assistant coaches. The other two assistant coaches are the coaches of the CBA team and were recruited to the national team as assistant coaches. However, Coach Liu is an official of the Basketball Association. As an assistant coach, he mainly represents Officials of the Basketball Association, after all, in the national team, there must be a member of the Basketball Association to keep an eye on it. This coach Liu usually does not participate in the team's training, but such tasks as receiving the media, contacting superiors, and logistical support are all done by this coach.

Because of this, Coach Liu is the person who cares most about Zhang Guan in the entire men's basketball coaching staff. If something goes wrong with Zhang Guan, the other coaches can pat his ass and leave, but Coach Liu, as a serious official, is To be responsible.

"I don't have any physical problems. It's just that I'm really tired from the continuous games. I need more time to adjust." Zhang Guan thought for a while, and then said: "And I think it's enough to play the US team seriously for the second half. No, it doesn’t matter whether you are leading or trailing in the first half of the game. On the contrary, if you play the second half with all your strength, maybe there will be a miracle.”

"That's right, the score really doesn't mean much when you play against the US team." Coach Guo replied from the side, but he didn't care about the "miracle" that Zhang Guan said.

"Are you sure there is nothing uncomfortable in your body?" Coach Liu confirmed again.

"No." Zhang Guan nodded seriously.

Coach Liu still hesitated, and Coach Guo who was next to him whispered something in Coach Yunas's ear, then Coach Yunus nodded and said, "Zhang Guan's games have been very intense these days, and it is indeed It's been hard enough, if there is no unexpected situation, let you take a rest in the first half, no problem."

"Then thank you coach." Zhang Guan said.

After Zhang Guan left, Coach Liu sighed softly: "Coach, why did you agree to him? If he really has a physical problem, we can't explain it to the regiment department!"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not a physical problem." Coach Guo said: "The track and field team's protection of Zhang Guan is much better than ours. Look, all the drinking water for Zhang Guan has arrived. We also followed suit."

Coach Guo shook the metal bottle in his hand, and then said: "Zhang Guan didn't get the ninth gold medal in the relay race yesterday, so maybe he will be very disappointed now! This seems to be the first time that Zhang Guan didn't get the gold medal. Mental discomfort is certain. He is only 22 years old after all, he is still a young man, we should give him more time."

"So that's the case!" Coach Liu nodded.

Coach Guo went on to say: "This time the opponent is the US team. The victory or defeat is not very important to us. The key is to play the style of our men's basketball team. Isn't the spirit of the Athletics Association also the same? So? , since Zhang Guan wanted to rest in the first half, I think let him rest!"

Coach Liu nodded again. He personally conveyed the spirit of the Athletics Association's instructions on the men's basketball finals. The executives of the Basketball Association also knew that the national team could not win this game, so they didn't ask the men's basketball team to win. They just wanted to play the style of the Chinese men's basketball team, play a wonderful game, and give the Chinese people an explanation. .

Another requirement is to strive for every player in the team to have a chance to play. After all, it is the final of the Olympic Games. For these players, there is such a chance in a lifetime. In the final, they can play for a few minutes, even if they do not touch the ball. Running back and forth can be regarded as playing in the Olympic finals, and there will be no regrets for the players. From this point of view, the management of the Basketball Association can be considered very humane.

...

Today is the last day of the Olympic Games, and for the entire US delegation, they only have two games to participate in, one is the men's water polo final, and the other is the men's basketball final. Comparing the two, the water polo final will naturally be ignored by people. A project that can only be seen in the Olympics, and a project where many superstars gather in the NBA, people will naturally pay attention to the latter.

Wukesong Gymnasium, today's security level has reached the highest level, because some heavyweights will come to the scene to watch the game.

The head of the U.S. delegation attended the Sino-U.S. war in person, and at the same time, the honorary head of the U.S. team, former U.S. President Mr. Bu, also came.

A retired president is not enough to allow the security level of Wukesong Stadium to reach the highest level, but the son of the retired president also came to watch the game, and his son is the current president of the United States: President Xiaobu. Because of this, Wukesong's security level has been raised to the highest level.

On the last day of the Olympic Games, the closing ceremony will be held. Heads of state and political leaders from all over the world will come here to participate in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. President Xiaobu also came to participate in the closing ceremony. According to President Xiaobu's original itinerary, he did not watch the basketball finals, but since the two sides were confirmed, President Xiaobu also changed his itinerary to watch the Sino-US war. From a certain point of view, watching the game between one's own country and the host team can be regarded as a kind of diplomatic etiquette.

The other party has a president. According to the usual practice, we don't need to send someone to accompany us, so that the guests can enjoy the treatment of the most distinguished guests. If we want to send someone to accompany us, we must send someone with basically equal status.

Before the first Sino-US war in the men's basketball group match, President Xiaobu also attended the game in person. At that time, he did not send senior personnel to accompany him, so President Xiaobu had a good time alone. But today is different. Today is The men's basketball final, the importance of the game is not the same as that of the group finals. People in the United States have come to work. It is definitely inappropriate for the host to not send someone. Therefore, the country also sent a comrade of the corresponding level to accompany President Xiaobu to watch the game. , It can also be regarded as a reflection of the host's thoughtful hospitality to the guests.

...

"Boys, I have good news for you. Our president will be there to watch your game in person! So you have to perform well today!" the American team leader Colangelo said excitedly.

However, the following stars did not react too violently or too excitedly. Colangelo smiled awkwardly, but he was not surprised by the player's reaction.

The current President Xiaobu is not very popular in the United States. He only has an approval rate of more than 30%, which is definitely a very low figure. Under normal circumstances, the approval rate of the president is around 50%. His predecessor, the ex-president who was a bit scandalous but good at managing the economy, had an average approval rating of 66%.

"I voted for Kerry four years ago!" someone whispered.
