According to media reports such as "Asia Sports", many foreign reporters discovered a strange phenomenon at the Men's Basketball World Championships: During the group stage, only the teams in the same group as the Japanese team were affected. A special "hospitality". The players of these teams were led by tour guides arranged by the Japan Basketball Association to eat, drink and have fun in Sapporo. Other teams did not have such treatment. It turns out that the Japan Basketball Association knows that with the strength of the Japanese team, it is impossible to enter the top 16. So they thought of this alternative "method of defeating the enemy", using the host's advantages to "corrode" their opponents in the same group and weaken their combat effectiveness in disguise. As a result, the Japan Basketball Association spent a lot of money, and the teams in the same group "accepted" all the benefits, but this still did not change the gap in team strength. In the end, the Japanese team was busy in vain, ranking fifth in the group stage and sadly eliminated.
Wandering around the city without losing strength
The reporter took the Angola team as an example and followed up on the "services" provided by the Japan Basketball Association to its opponents in the same group. Angolan players from Africa are interested in many things in Sapporo, Japan, and it is natural to take the opportunity to have a good swim. The Japan Basketball Association took advantage of this and hired local tour guides to lead the Angolan players around during the competition. The first is to visit the Sapporo TV Tower. This TV tower is 147.2 meters high and has an observation deck at 90 meters. From here, the Angolan team players can see most of Sapporo's landscape and have a comprehensive understanding of the city. Afterwards, the tour guide took the players around the city and visited some historically significant locations such as the Sapporo Tower Museum.
The next step is the most critical part. The Japanese took the Angolan players who were beginning to feel tired to a distant scenic spot - a mountaineering hot spring. In fact, there is a Jozankei hot spring town near Sapporo, but it is closer to the city center and only takes about an hour's drive, while it takes 2 hours to get to the mountain hot springs. Finally, the Angolan players went to the mountain hot springs to enjoy themselves. The Japan Basketball Association believes that after such a hard time and "relaxing" in the hot springs, the physical fitness of the Angolan players must have dropped a lot, and the Japanese team's opportunity has come. But the fact is that the Angola team also conducted additional training after returning to the station that day, and was obviously not affected by the journey.
Not "allergic" to Sapporo food
Sapporo, Japan is a mysterious place for most foreign players, and the many delicacies that this Hokkaido city has naturally make it so They are eager to try. The Japan Basketball Association has also considered this: using Sapporo's delicious food to disrupt the opponent's combat effectiveness. They first let the Angolan players taste Japan's most famous sashimi food. Salmon, herring, and cod sashimi are all good choices, as well as octopus, arctic shellfish and other seafood sashimi. The Japanese believe that African players must be uncomfortable with sashimi being eaten raw. Next, the Japanese tour guide took these foreign players to taste ramen. Sapporo is quite famous for its ramen. There is also a "Ramen Street" in the center of Sapporo, where every Angolan player ate two bowls of ramen. The final facts proved that foreign players did not have "adverse reactions" to Japanese food, and the Japan Basketball Association's plan failed again. There is a story in ancient Greek mythology: Antaeus is a universally recognized hero, invincible, and the earth god Gaia is his close relative. When An Tai fights, as long as he does not leave the ground, he can continuously draw power from Mother Earth, so he can defeat any powerful opponent. Unfortunately, Antai's secret to defeating the enemy was discovered by an opponent named Hercules, so Antai was lifted into the air and strangled to death
