Sports competition is not only a contest of skills and bodies, but also a communication of mind and spirit. A Japan women's basketball defeat has sparked speculation about the release of water, raising questions about the values and principles of sports. Want to know the story behind the release of the Japan women's basketball team? Read on!
The essence of sports competition is not only the competition of body and skill, but also the exchange of mind and spirit.
Fair play and respect for opponents are the most basic sportsmanship.
But the results of one thing were shocking.
When the Japan women's basketball team ended the game with a heavy defeat, fans of the Japan women's basketball team were surprised.
They think that their idols may have deliberately released water in order not to confront the women's basketball team of the eastern powers.
The release of the Japan women's basketball team was after their loss to the Belgium women's basketball team.
However, the women's basketball team of the Eastern powers did not perform well in the group stage, why is their confrontation so disappointing?
In the match on August 3, the Japan women's basketball team lost to the Belgium women's basketball team by a score of 58-85, and the gap reached 27 points.
You know, before that, Japan also defeated France, and the difference in strength between the two teams is not small.
Therefore, the release of the Japan women's basketball team has attracted more and more attention.
The girls didn't do well
The speculation about the release of the Japan women's basketball team can also be traced back to the performance of the women's basketball team in the eastern countries at the Olympics.
Although the men's basketball team has achieved good results in the Eastern Powers, the Women's Basketball Team of the Oriental Powers has not brought too many surprises to fans.
After the end of the group stage, the women's basketball team of the Eastern powers only won 1 game.
They also lost two games and failed to qualify for the quarter-finals on goal difference.
As the strongest team in Asia, such a record is naturally disappointing.
Naturally, the girls regretted this.
Although they try their best on the field, regret always comes with failure.
There is also a reason why the women's basketball team of the eastern powers can perform like this in the Olympic Games.
Previously, in the 2021 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the women's basketball team of the Eastern Powers won the championship with an overwhelming advantage.
On an Asian scale, they have few rivals.
Even the equally powerful Australia women's basketball team was powerless in the showdown with the women's basketball team of the eastern powers.
But at the Tokyo Olympics, the women's basketball team of the eastern powers repeatedly missed, which made people feel very surprised.
Is it normal for a team with a far difference in strength to be able to achieve such a result?
The calculation behind the game
From the point of view of rules, the release of the Japan women's basketball team did not violate any rules.
No matter what kind of sport it is, it is the result of the pursuit of victory.
In this match, the Japan women's basketball team lost to the Belgium women's basketball team, which is also nothing to dispute.
But from a sportsmanship point of view, the match caused a lot of controversy.
No matter what the competition is, the athlete's own strength can be better reflected in the real confrontation.
If an athlete deliberately doesn't give it his all to win, it will undoubtedly disappoint spectators and fans alike.
The Japan women's basketball team did not show itself proactively in that game, but adopted very conservative and even passive tactics.
They spent a lot of time on the offensive end trying to find the best point to attack, but they still missed repeatedly.
On the other hand, the Belgium women's basketball team can actively break through the defense of the Japan team on the offensive end, and the shooting percentage is also very high.
Faced with such a strong opponent, the Japan team can only choose to avoid tactics and no longer fight for victory.
As a result, the Japan team's evasive tactics were successful.
They defeated the women's basketball team of the Eastern Powers by goal difference and also managed to advance to the quarterfinals.
But is it worth recognizing Japan's adoption of such tactics?
As we all know, Japan and the big countries in the East have always had contradictions and entanglements that are difficult to let go.
Both countries are fiercely competitive, both economically and sportingly.
In sports competitions, there are often issues that are incomprehensible and even controversial.
This time, the Japan women's basketball team adopted the same tactics as the previous men's world preliminary round, when the Japan men's football team lost to the Thailand men's football team.
Although these behaviors do not violate any rules in terms of rules, they are difficult to accept.
Sports competition is a form of real confrontation, and only in real confrontation can you better exercise yourself and improve yourself.
If athletes can only calculate tactics and give up confrontation, then what kind of competition can they talk about?
Reflection on values
In the pursuit of victory, we should also adhere to more important values.
It is more important to pursue fairness, justice, respect for opponents and respect for rules.
We should keep these values in mind at all times and in all places, and put them into practice with our actions.
This is especially true in the field of sports, after all, sports competition can make people happy, release stress and exercise.
But if sports competition is only about calculation and intrigue calculation, people will start to reflect on what problems exist in sports competition?
How do you stick to your principles in the face of a strong opponent?
As athletes and coaches, how should we view what is most important in sports?
What can we do on the spiritual level?
These are questions that are indeed worth pondering.
As a coach, you should teach the athletes: the game is based on real confrontation, and not all tactics can be used;
As an athlete, you should understand that fair play and respect for opponents can make the competition more meaningful;
As fans, we should look at it rationally: we need to see the games that are fought with passion and sincerity;
And not those contests full of calculations and intrigue calculations. Nowadays, I see more and more athletes who will only win the field, but forget their original intention; They will only win the victory, but forget the fairness and justice; You will only win the championship, but you will forget respect. In this way, how can those core values be maintained? Moreover, sports competition is only about calculation and conspiracy. Perhaps this is not limited to sports. Of course, there are also those who believe that as long as the means are achieved, they can be unscrupulous. But I believe that most people still agree that there should be a bottom line and principles. When we continue to break through the bottom line and principles, perhaps we have already fallen into it. As the Belgium coach said: we want to see games that are fought with passion and sincerity. Instead of watching two teams go against each other easily or deliberately lose the game. It is worth mentioning that the girls of the big countries in the East have left a beautiful and moving figure in the Olympic Village. In the face of the temptation of food, they politely refuse and always stay in good shape. Although they did not achieve the desired results, we are still very proud of them. Perhaps failure is only temporary, and ups and downs will only be accompanied by growth. Come on, girls from the big countries in the East. I believe that one day in the future, you will shine with the most beautiful light.
epilogue
Athletic competition is not just about winning, but more importantly, it embodies the spirit of fairness, respect and authentic confrontation. Sticking to the values and principles in competition is what makes the game more meaningful. Although the girls from the big eastern countries failed to achieve the desired results, their efforts and persistence are admirable. Come on, I believe that you will shine the most beautiful light in the future!
