Friends who watched the men's basketball Asian Cup match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Bahrain team, I wonder if they feel the same as me, with their hearts almost in their throats. With the ups and downs of the entire game, the fans' psychology should also have some ups and downs, but I believe it is not more a reflection of the progress of the game, but more of a reflection on the game after the game with the South Korean team. Dissatisfaction, anger and worries about the future of the Chinese men's basketball team.
certainly does not deny that the Chinese team did encounter unprecedented difficulties before this Men's Basketball Asian Cup. Basically all the main players fell ill, and just four or five days before the start of the game, the temporarily recruited players had just arrived and had no chance to join forces. practice. But then again, as a country of such a size, China, especially in Asian-level competitions, should not seek reasons for losing when its main players are absent or making the game so difficult.
If we are missing a few main players, we can compete with a team like Bahrain to the point where the fans’ hearts are in their throats. To be honest, it is the collapse of our basketball system, because several people who played today are also He is the absolute main force in each of our CBA teams and can be considered the cream of our league players. A strong basketball system, such as the United States, even if it temporarily forms four teams, I believe it can "beat" most countries, including us.
Looking back at the past few years, 2019 should be the "darkest" year for the Chinese men's basketball team, which indirectly or directly led to the Chinese men's basketball team missing the Olympics for the first time in 28 years. In the next two years, due to the impact of the epidemic, the Chinese men's basketball team did not participate in international competitions until the Olympic qualifying tournament in July 2021. Of course, people already had the mentality of "participation is the most important" before the Chinese men's basketball team went to Canada. After all, they faced the powerful Canadian team, the Greek team and the Turkish team. People have also seen the results, which are all expected. After two big losses to the Canadian team and the Greek team, they did not even get a chance to see the Turkish team.
In fact, from July 2021 to now, the Chinese men's basketball team has also had a "highlight moment" in two away games against Japan and won by a big score, which really made the fans a little excited, but the time was too short.
Let’s look back at the other three major national teams. In fact, they started at almost the same time as this men’s basketball Asian Cup game. There were also Chinese women’s volleyball team and Italian women’s volleyball team in the women’s volleyball national league quarter-finals. In the competition, the Chinese team lost to the Italian team 1-3 and missed the semi-finals. Of course, one game can't explain anything, but they also lost to the Thai team and the Japanese team in the current women's volleyball national league. The Chinese women's volleyball team has indeed been on a downward trajectory since its failure in last year's Olympics. But the difference between women's volleyball team and is that after all, they were on top of the world just a few years ago and made the hearts of the Chinese people excited. Although the current downturn makes people worried, it is more about understanding and expectation. There is still a journey to the Women's Volleyball World Championships this summer, and there is still a chance to rebound.
The worst thing this year is the "blockage" our Chinese men's football team caused to fans across the country on New Year's Day this year. When there were several naturalized players in the team, fans were filled with joy and thought that the Chinese men's football team was about to "bottom out". However, the Chinese men's football team used practical actions to refresh people's understanding of the bottom line and continued to "explore the bottom line." , I don’t know when it will “hit bottom”. Even if it “hits bottom”, whether it can “rebound” is a big question mark in front of fans.
Of course, it is undeniable that this year’s “hope of the whole village” is still supported by our “half the sky”. The women's football team reached the top of Asia without being favored, which indirectly covered some of the "firepower" endured by the men's football team; women's basketball team defeated the French team, which was ranked fifth in the world at the time, by 30 points in the World Cup qualifiers ( Currently ranked 6th), we still have the strength and hope to strive for a good ranking in the Women's Basketball World Cup that will start on September 22; the women's basketball 3X3 national team's bronze medal in the 3X3 World Cup, and the just past 3X3 Asian Cup champion. However, it is an objective fact that the international influence of women's three major sports is not as good as that of men.
What cannot be ignored is that there are some small surprises in the three major men's games. men's volleyball defeated the powerful Brazilian team 3-0 in the Volleyball League, and successfully avoided relegation in the National Volleyball League. It can continue to participate in the World League next year; The men's 3X3 basketball team won the bronze medal at the Asia Cup .
Judging from the status of the three major sports this year, especially the three major men's sports, I personally can't help but feel a little emotional. We are a country with the third largest area in the world, the largest population (soon to be the second in the world), and the second largest economy in the world (soon to be the largest in the world). There are really very few major powers in the world that collectively pull their hips on the three major goals like we do. In addition, what everyone may not have thought of is that this will more or less affect our image of a big country in the hearts of other countries. Especially in the current international situation, due to the weakness of our three major goals, we have inadvertently lost a lot of " right to speak”. You can observe your friends around you. How many people like the UK because of Premier League , and the United States because of NBA?
Of course, in this year when the three major goals are still on the decline, we still see the efforts of Zeng Fanbo , Zhang Zhenlin , Guo Haowen , etc. to impact the world's highest level league; we have seen the "pressing pressure" in Chinese Super League The idea of "fighting" and the emergence of the team; I saw the fans' unremitting support for our three major goals. It brings a glimmer of hope and light to this "darkest moment" in our three major worlds today. But what I hope to see more is the efforts of the management of the three major players to change the status quo, the advancement of reforms in our three major players, and their persistence on the right path despite resistance.
In competitive sports, fighting spirit is important, but what is more important is strength. I sincerely hope that our three major goals will not rise to the point of competing for fighting spirit in the game, and directly crush the opponent on the level of strength. I especially hope to hear that when our three major teams win a certain championship, they will promote not only our tenacious fighting spirit, but also that winning this championship is our strength.
