Surrounded by the media, a CCTV reporter asked: "Let someone take responsibility after the defeat of the game. If someone must bear the responsibility, who will it be?"
After Yao Ming listened to the question, he resolutely answered: "I!"
After taking the full responsibility of the men's World Cup defeat, Yao Ming looked lonely and left the stadium behind his hands.
Tonight's game, Yao Ming continued to sit on the coach's bench to supervise the battle. When the game was suspended in the second quarter, he once guided Fang Shuo. At the last moment, when the Chinese team had no hope of chasing points, Yao Ming sat silently on the coach seat, his eyes became red, and he could not help crying.

On September 8th, the Chinese men's basketball team ended their last match at this World Cup. In the face of the powerful African powerhouse Nigeria, they lost the match with a regret of 73:86. In this key battle related to the Tokyo Olympics pass qualification, although the Chinese men's basketball team did their best, but failed to withstand the opponent's offensive in the last quarter, the Chinese team will not be eligible for the Tokyo Olympics pass.
Prior to this battle, of the six Asian teams participating, only China and Iran were qualified to compete in Asia. China has one more victory than Iran. As long as it defeats Nigeria, it can steadily occupy the top spot in Asia. But the Chinese team, which was obviously inferior in strength, pushed itself to the embarrassing situation of looking at others with a defeat.
In the final match with the Philippine team, the Iranian team seized the opportunity and won 95:75. If so, the Chinese team and the Iranian team both ranked second in the qualifying match, but the Iranian team took the first place in Asia with a net advantage and went straight to Tokyo.
In this tournament, the highest ranked Asian, African, and Oceanian teams, as well as the top two American and European teams, will directly receive Tokyo Olympic tickets, plus the Japanese team that automatically qualified as a host, Eight teams will advance first.
There will be 12 teams participating in the Tokyo Olympics. In addition to the above 8 teams, the other 4 teams will be generated through the loss.
Although the gates of the Tokyo Olympics have not yet been closed for the Chinese team, it will be far more difficult to stand out in the loss than in the group stage and qualifying.
The losing competition will include 24 teams including the top 16 of the current cup (except for those who have already qualified for the Olympic Games), and will compete for 4 Tokyo Olympic tickets in 4 regions.
Although the current losing team and division have not yet been announced, it is expected that any of the divisions will not be a springboard for the Chinese team to move to Tokyo.
Not to mention that 11 teams in the top 16 of the current cup will lose the match. Turkey, New Zealand, Germany and other teams participating in qualifying alone are the insurmountable mountains of the Chinese team, as well as Slovenia, Croatia, Latvia, Cameroon. , Mexico and other missed "Leads" of this Cup ... The Chinese team is in the same division as any of the above teams, and it is almost impossible to make a siege.
Therefore, this time missed the opportunity to go directly to Tokyo, and also almost ruined the Chinese men's basketball team's hopes for the Tokyo Olympics. Since the first group of New China participated in the Olympic Games in 1984, the Chinese men's basketball team has never missed the Olympic Games.

In the previous 9 Olympic Games, the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team was eighth place three times, namely the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. At the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team lost all five games, ranking the bottom.
