Civilization its spirit, barbarism its physique, only hard work, in order to climb the peak! This is true for sport, and it is true for all aspects of society. If you don't know the past, don't want to forge ahead, and don't seek change, you will always lag behind others, trapped and powerless.February 25, 2024, is a dark day for fans across the country, as cold as the ice and snow outside the window. The day that is destined to be recorded in history can never turn the page, and there is no way to avoid it.
The Chinese men's basketball team lost to Japan 73:76 away in Japan, defeating the Japanese men's basketball team for the first time in 88 years, once again refreshing the bottom line of the Chinese people. From the eighth in the world to the third rate in Asia, they lost to the first team of the Philippines and the second team of the Philippines one after another, and this time, there is no doubt that they lost to the Japanese team that we did not want to lose and must not lose.
It is this country that has brought profound disasters to the Chinese nation in history, and caused indelible pain and trauma to the Chinese people.
However, one day 88 years later, in a stadium full of Japanese people, in their cheers, we were so completely humiliated in front of hundreds of millions of Chinese TV viewers, and there was no power to fight back!
To borrow the words of Fan Zhiyi, a former national football player, "Anyone can lose, and you don't want to lose your face!" ”
After the game, the players and coaches of both sides entered the stadium and exchanged friendly handshakes, and the Japanese players were smiling and polite throughout, without the slightest hint of provocation or contempt from the winners.
Our head coach, Djordjevic, also patted the Japanese players on the shoulder to show encouragement, and everyone went through the process in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The ancients brilliantly summed up the character of the Japanese nation: "knowing small courtesy without great righteousness, being disciplined but not virtuous, emphasizing the last and being disgraceful, fearing power but not virtue, the strong will rob the robber, and the weak will be humble".
However, what about us, the performance of our team members, a plate of scattered sand, no organization, no discipline, neither team cooperation, nor the spirit of hard work, but also no initiative to take the initiative, no one can stand up, some just get by, frizzy complaints, blindly brute, in such a public arena, in the cruel physical fitness and physical fitness competition, a failure.
The weakness of individual ability is not terrible, it is terrible to be a whole, a team has not shown strategy, wisdom, and cannot be condensed into a force that cannot be underestimated;It's sad that the weaknesses and hole cards are so well understood!
African bison is abundant, but it has become the bottom of the food chain, and it is easily preyed upon by lions and African second brothers
Think about it, if a country's army, on the battlefield, on the stage of life-and-death competition, is as unorganized, strategic, and uncooperative as the men's basketball team, can it still win, and is there still a position to retreat?How should the people and the territory be protected?
And then extended to all aspects of society, all walks of life, if they are all floating on the surface, pursuing the so-called short and fast, no one calms down to study, to think, to reflect, to develop challenging core technologies, then when it comes to the day of fighting bayonets, we may have a comprehensive rout, and even repeat the back road of the Chinese men's basketball team, again and again, and be beaten to the point that there is no power to fight back.
The people of the whole country should wake up, stop thinking that basketball is just a sport, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, we just need to do a good job in other aspects, this view is extremely dangerous and terrible!
Sports embodies not only the strength and weakness of individuals, but also the essence of the competition of the quality of the race, including the wisdom of group competition, the planning of group strategy, the organization and implementation of a series of related activities, showing the specific character of a nation, the degree of tenacity, resistance to external pressure and the spirit of hard work and sacrifice.
The ability to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, enhance the national pride of the people, and increase the cohesion of the people of the whole country is only a relatively intuitive link for the transmission of feelings on the outside, and it is also the one with the greatest benefits, the lowest cost, and the easiest to achieve.
It's a pity that this time it was made so unbearable, and it was shattered in front of the people of the whole country today, when the media is so transparent and developed!
Can we accept defeat again and again, not to mention that the fans do not agree, I am afraid that the people of the whole country who realize the seriousness of the situation will not agree either!
Therefore, the top priority is to take decisive action, comprehensively review the development and planning of the men's basketball team over the years, find existing problems, reflect and summarize in a timely manner, listen to more beneficial opinions in the selection of coaches, and the training of personnel echelons should be combined with the domestic situation and be able to calm down and cultivate a generation.
As for coach Djordjevic, let's let him go back to his own country to coach, after all, he has repeatedly failed to prove that he is not suitable for coaching the Chinese men's basketball team, and the Basketball Association is also time to make changes!
