An undervalued coach, a group of national team players. Everyone has their own specialties, and under the coach's deployment and tactical use, everyone brings out their own talents. This is a movie based on a true story. I went to the Olympic Games that year. At the last moment, the movie almost truly restored the scene at that time. The 1972 Munich Olympics basketball final. When the Soviet Union and the United States were still in the Cold War period, the two countries had to compete with each other in any field, and they had to take the first place and be the boss. A basketball game is a war. To win is to win honor for the country. The basketball game was intense and physical confrontation was intense. The ideological confrontation turns into a physical confrontation. Both sides are evenly matched. As for the result of the game, it has become a history. The Soviet Union made a lore shot in the last three seconds to win the United States 51-50, and the United States also refused to accept the award. I think about the Soviet Union at that time. At that time, the coach's son was sick, but he needed to go to a foreign country to get medical treatment. When the national team players were sick and needed medical treatment, there was no money. It can be seen that the medical level and economic level of the Soviet Union at that time were not very strong, or it was not as good as the United States and other European countries in these areas. But even in this situation, the coach insisted on using his own money to treat the athletes, which showed the coach's good intentions, for the country and for the Soviet Union. This spirit, this feeling, seems familiar. The mutual understanding and mutual support among the players showed the meaning of basketball.
