Chapter 271: National Youth Team Trial

Time flies quickly, and the 2013 U16 Asian Championship is about to be held in Tehran, the capital of Iran, this Asian Championship is for next year's U17 World Youth Basketball Championship Asian qualifiers, and China must finish in the top three to qualify. Fastest updates

After Da Yao retired, the Huaguo men's basketball team lost twice in Asian competitions, and lost all the Olympic Games in 12 years, and the overall strength regressed a lot.

Of course, in the first two years of the U16 competition, he had good results and won the championship, among which there are some potential stocks, and if he is properly trained, he may become a star, such as Zhou Qi, who was known as the "big devil" in his previous life.

Although different from Wang Dazhi, Da Yao, and Yi Jianlian, in Li Cai's previous life, Zhou Qi did not reach the dominant level in the CBA, and he did not even average more than 20 points per game in the few seasons he played, but compared with several Chinese insiders who have NBA experience, Zhou Qi's advantage is very obvious, that is, talent.

Zhou Qi is 217cm tall, with an arm span of 233cm and a vertical bounce of 80cm, which is taller than most small people in China.

Because in 11 years, Zhou Qi made a big show of power, cutting a big triple-double of 41 points, 28 rebounds and 15 blocks, helping the Chinese team defeat Germany 94-90 to enter the finals, and he became famous in this way.

But this year, he is 17 years old, and he just represented the Chinese U19 men's basketball team in the Czech World Championships that ended in early July, and won the seventh place, averaging 11.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.4 blocks per game.

Therefore, the list of participants in this year's U16 men's basketball team includes Zhang Xiaolei, Wu Yucheng, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Yanhao, Wang Zixu, Fu Hao, etc.

Although Li Cai had never heard of it in his previous life, he was selected to represent the country to participate in the competition, and he must be the leader of the young generation of Chinese basketball.

Although they lost to Argentina in the previous invitational tournament in February and finished 10th, this is a situation where the U16 training camp has not yet begun.

Therefore, Liu Jizeng, the head coach of U16, was very unhappy when he received the news from the Basketball Association and felt that this person was a relation.

As a person in the system, Coach Liu naturally knows the style of the Basketball Association, a group of people who want money to die, many times begging people to do things, going to U16 to participate in friendly games, etc., without giving funds, and asking them to find sponsorship to play.

It can be said that the Basketball Association just wants to have no money, and it is naturally easy to talk when it sees money.

I thought that Li Cai had spent money to come in, and proposed to train and test.

Although Li Cai didn't spend money to come in, he can be regarded as coming in through the relationship, which belongs to the "back door".

…………

A few days later, Li Cai arrived at the training base of the General Administration of Sports in Hong Kong City.

Originally, for this training, Coach Liu planned to practice at will, and if he was qualified, he would accept it, otherwise he would not sell the face of the officials of the Basketball Association.

But the moment he saw Li Cai, Coach Liu was taken aback, and he didn't expect that the Basketball Association was the first person in Chinese tennis and even the world's first person Li Cai.

Coach Liu really didn't expect that Li Cai would actually participate in the trial of the men's national youth basketball team! You know, Li Cai is not a professional basketball player. And it is unprecedented for a non-professional basketball player to participate in the trial of the men's national youth basketball team!

But what should be tested is still to be tested, no matter how good Li Cai is in tennis and how famous he is, Coach Liu's principled questions will not change, after all, this is basketball, not tennis.

When preparing for the trial, Coach Liu was also faintly looking forward to it, after all, Li Cai, as a tennis player and a world-class star, aside from basketball skills, at this age, Li Cai's physical talent must be superb.

And although Coach Liu doesn't play tennis, he also knows that top tennis players are not inferior to basketball players in terms of foot speed, endurance and explosiveness.

In Coach Liu's view, Li Cai participated in the game through the Basketball Association, and he must have a certain confidence in his basketball skills before he dared to participate.

The tryout began.

If it is a traditional audition, there are many items, and a large part of the audition content is to test and observe the physical talent of athletes, but the trial for Li Cai basically ignores the test of physical talent.

Coach Liu just measured Li Cai's height and was going to focus on Li Cai's basketball skills.

After all, Li Cai, as the winner of the annual Golden Slam in tennis, has broken countless tennis records, whether it is speed, explosiveness, endurance, etc., he is much stronger than Europeans and Americans of the same age, so the test in this area is directly exempted, and it saves a waste of time.

Coach Liu's inspection of Li Cai was mainly carried out from the aspect of basketball skills, especially some relatively basic basketball technical movements.

And Li Cai did not fully show his full ability, he only showed the skills learned in his system skills, the three threats that guards should have, the step-by-step and cross-step, ordinary mid-range shots, long-range shots, emergency stop jump shots, in-motion jumpers, etc., and in defense, Li Cai's defense is also very solid, not like a newcomer at all, and he has the strength that a professional player should have.

Coach Liu was still very relaxed at the beginning, thinking that Li Cai's basketball skills were not bad, at least the basic skills were very solid. But with the deepening of the test, some of the later technical movements are the movements that can be perfectly made after professional basketball training.

"Turning around and dribbling, beautiful! The timing is very good, the action is done in one go, and it is very sudden, and more importantly, the rhythm of the dribble after turning is very good. This kind of turn and dribble can be launched immediately after attacking!" Coach Liu silently commented in his heart.

As a veteran basketball coach, Coach Liu has certainly seen many excellent players, and the basketball players he has come into contact with before are all famous players and have matured in terms of technique, and Coach Liu will not be surprised by a few beautiful turning and dribbling movements. But Li Cai can show it perfectly at this age, and he has not practiced since he was a child, it is estimated that he learned from tennis after retiring, I have to say that Li Cai's learning talent is too demonic.

Practice makes perfect in any sport, especially in a more technical sport like basketball. Although tennis is more technical, basketball is different, this can be said to be a "giant sport", skills can be practiced, but talent can not be practiced, many black people just rely on amazing talent, even if the skills are rough, but they can still have a place in the NBA, which is impossible in tennis.

"The control dribble is just right, the rhythm of the variable speed dribble is also impeccable, the breakthrough is also very sharp, and the shooting rate is quite high. Coach Liu thought in his heart, but the pen in his hand did not stop for a moment, and wrote all of Li Cai's performance.
