At 7 o'clock in the evening on August 6, the match between the C country men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team started as scheduled, and Li Zhaoye and Leonard appeared on time among the crowd cheering them on. At that time, it also caused some minor quarrels.

Even though there was a team of bodyguards, Li Zhao did not let them get involved. The brothers also tried their best to satisfy the requests of fans around them for autographs and photos, etc.

However, the result of this game was not satisfactory. Although the men's basketball team of Country C tried its best, it was difficult to withstand the attack of the American team led by many All-Star players. In the end, they lost the game 68-99, while the women's basketball team lost the game 68-99.

The basketball team also lost the first game at a critical moment. As a result, the three major teams of Country C suffered a rare collective defeat in the first game.

"Don't be discouraged, I believe the situation will get better." Li Zhao was also a little confused at this time, and could only say some comforting words to make Yao Ming feel better.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. But this difficulty won't hit me. I just hope it won't have any bad impact on you!" Despite the unfavorable start, Yao Ming still responded to this.

It's relatively easy to see.

"No!" Although Li Zhao didn't say anything more, these two words contained a lot of meaning, and his determination was unquestionable.

At this moment, Yao Ming could not help but have an illusion. Imagine that if Li Zhao had still chosen to continue developing on the road of basketball, would he be a great leader now and be able to become the leader of his own will?

The best heir. Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but envy Xu Genbao. But history doesn't have so many assumptions. Maybe it's all destined, or maybe basketball is really not the best way out for him. Now

This is the best result.

After all this was over, Li Zhao worked hard to dissipate the gloom that had accumulated in his heart due to the collective defeat of the three major sports in country C in the first round, and then once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the follow-up of the Portuguese Olympic team.

Go in the game.

Portugal's opponent in the second round of the group stage is Honduras. In the previous round, they narrowly defeated Algeria, which was at the bottom of the group, 3-2. In addition, Portugal defeated Argentina, the second strongest team in the group, in the first round, so they successfully qualified.

They have reached the second position in the points. This makes many people think that they are lucky, but they often underestimate their true strength.

The players on the Portuguese side thought so to some extent, but after the second round of the game started on August 7, they paid the price for underestimating their opponents. In less than ten minutes of the opening, they

The gate was the first to be breached by a series of lightning attacks from the opponent.

However, as the saying goes, it is not too late to make amends. After understanding all this, the Portuguese team immediately restrained its contempt for its opponents, adjusted its defense in time, and at the same time paid more attention to controlling the rhythm of the game. However, the Honduras team

The coach was very aware of the real gap between the two teams, so he did not put a lot of energy into offense, but he was very smart and changed the team's style of play to defensive counterattack tactics when he had the upper hand.

The Honduras team itself also did a good job defensively. It was obviously not an easy task for the Portuguese team to get the score back quickly. In the rest of the first half, although they did a great job offensively,

, but it only blossomed but did not bear fruit. Until the end of the first half, the score was still Portugal trailing 0-1.

Li Zhao's performance in the first half was somewhat unsatisfactory. Yesterday's shadow seemed to have a little impact on his state. Although he ran actively on the field many times and thought he had adjusted his emotions,

At the last moment, he always felt a little worse than before. And it was precisely this point that caused some of his shots and passes to fail to achieve the expected results.

"It seems that I still overestimated my ability to adjust. I can't continue like this. I must find the rhythm I should have as soon as possible. Xiaomi, is there any way to restore my condition as soon as possible?"

He took advantage of the intermission to go to the toilet first. While secretly complaining about himself, he also eagerly asked Xiaomi in his mind.

"Master, I can't help you with this. If it's an injury or physical condition, I can help you adjust quickly. But now you have no problem with these, but psychological or some unclear and strange things

The only way you can solve the problem is by yourself." Xiao Mi also felt helpless about this. It stands to reason that Li Zhaoben is also a perseverant person in terms of psychological quality, and he obviously has no problems in other aspects.

But I didn't perform well today. But if I really wanted to say there was something wrong, I couldn't tell for the moment.

Gu Hui/span When Li Zhao returned to the locker room with such emotions, Rui Jorge, the coach of the Portuguese Olympic team, had already set his sights on him. He had already noticed that Li Zhao was not in good condition today.

At first he thought there was something troubling him, but it wasn't until Li Zhao told him the reason that he suddenly realized it.

"You really shouldn't be worrying about gains and losses today! But some things are indeed quite evil. You have to believe it. Just like good luck is contagious, bad luck is also contagious. I don't know what to do.

To resolve it, maybe only time is the best antidote. Maybe you will recover in the next game! So you should take a rest in the second half. Trust the other players. Maybe if you change the lineup, you will be interested.

Unexpected results. I hope you can make a complete adjustment in our last game against Algeria." Rui suggested.

Although the coach said it was a suggestion, Li Zhao understood that the other party had already made a decision in his mind. In addition, he was really not sure whether there would be any changes if he persisted until the second half, so he could only nod in agreement in the end.

Without Li Zhao, the Portuguese team seemed to have improved offensively in the second half. In the 73rd minute of the game, Leonard was tripped when he broke into the opponent's penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Then Portugal captain Bruno Fernandez walked to the penalty spot and scored the ball steadily.

However, the Portuguese team failed to take the lead after equalizing the score, and the Honduras team also failed to take the lead again. The final score between the two sides stayed at 1-1. In another game, Argentina scored 2-2.

1 defeated Algeria, finally getting rid of the bottom of the points, but whether it can successfully qualify still depends on the result of the final battle with Honduras. As a result, in this group, except for Algeria, which has long lost hope,

The qualification of the other three teams is unknown.

After two days of rest, Li Zhao really felt that his condition should have returned to normal, and the final battle of the group stage was coming at this time, and success or failure would be tested by this battle.

On the other hand, the three major teams in country C also played another round in the second round, and the result was unexpectedly their first comeback victory. Compared to the easy wins of the women's football, women's volleyball and women's basketball teams

, the men’s basketball game was much more thrilling.

After lagging behind the French team for most of the game, relying on Guo Ailun's layup with 15 seconds left in the game, the Chinese team finally led the French opponent 72-71 for the first time, and then Yi Jianlian made a layup at the end.

He blocked the opponent's buzzer-beating shot at the right time and won the victory with great difficulty and luck.

"I finally understand why you didn't perform well before. In fact, it's not a contagion of bad luck, nor is it a psychological problem, but your luck has indeed been borrowed by them. This is also the function you have inadvertently touched.

, the exchange may have been completed without even you knowing it.

But this time it was pretty good, that is, the men's basketball team borrowed some, so they recovered within two days. Of course, the borrowing can also be mutual, but continued borrowing will have other more serious side effects.

If you don't want to ruin your own future because of this, you'd better try not to do this in the future." Xiao Mi finally found the reason for Li Zhao's bad change two days ago and gave him a warning.

"I understand. I will not touch this function easily in the future unless necessary." Li Zhao was frightened for a while after knowing the reason, although it might be because of his own luck that the C country men's basketball team might have won a game.

You may not win the game, but this is not the right way after all. You still need to be tough on your own, and it would be better for you to get less involved in this kind of thing in the future. When the difference in ability is too great, even if you are really willing to lend it to them again
