"Steady the tempo, steady the tempo, don't go for the speed, that's not what I write on the tactical board......"

Jonas shouted next to the training gym. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, at this moment, Zhou Zheng didn't seem to understand 'English', leading Sun Le, Chen Qihua, Yi Jianlian, and Mo Ke to run long distances, all kinds of forced speed-up, because they had just started to cooperate, the hit rate was not too good, but Yi Jianlian seized the opportunity to deduct several in the penalty area.

Drip!

Jonas blew the whistle loudly, and he walked to the center of the court in a rage and warned Zhou Zheng unmistakably: "This is not the NBA, don't bring what you learned in the United States here." We don't need individual heroism here, we're a team!!team!!

"I don't feel like my run-and-gun tactics are personal heroism at all. Zhou Zheng looked at him directly: "Moreover, a team can exist in two different styles. In the eighties and nineties of the last century, the Chinese team's style of play was mainly based on 'small and fast spirit'. Now, we are missing the inside giant Yao Shu, and it is not wise to still insist on attacking in the half-court in this situation. ”

Zhou Zheng speaks Chinese.

The interpreter conveyed his words to Jonas.

Then, Jonas was even angrier, he felt that Zhou Zheng was a bomb.

'I'm the manager, you have to listen to me. ”

He emphasized his identity.

"Sir, the head coach is just your job. And the Chinese are the imprint that has been imprinted in my bone marrow and blood, and believe me, I want to win for this team more than you. Zhou Zheng replied to him in English: "We should try more possibilities tactically." ”

"I hope it's just a clash of tactical ideas. ”

As he spoke, he stepped over to the other side.

Jonas also angrily turned around and went to the office of the leader of the basketball association.

He put on a tough posture, he hoped that the Basketball Association could remove Zhou Zhengge from the national team squad, and he vowed to the leadership that Zhou Zheng's personal heroism was a disaster for the national team.

The leaders then talked to Zhou Zheng, and they hoped that Zhou Zheng could live in harmony with Jonas.

Zhou Zhengze said: "There will be two warm-up games in the future, and I will not play in one game. One game, I came out and played my way. Speak with the game, okay?"

The leaders of the Basketball Association agreed to Zhou Zheng's proposal. And they also went to Jonas to talk.

Jonas initially rejected the offer, believing it to be a provocation to the manager's authority and an insult to his coaching credentials. But under the ideological offensive of many leaders of the basketball association, he still chose to compromise.

He believes that Zhou Zheng's set is unlikely to succeed in the FIBA system. You know, even the dream team of the NBA All-Star team lost to the Lithuanian men's basketball team led by itself in Athens.

"This is my last chance for him. ”

Jonas was very clear to the leadership of the basketball association.

He then chose a slightly weaker Australia as his opponent. Another warm-up opponent, Greece, was Zhou Zheng's opponent.

These two teams are the teams in Group C of this World Championship, so they are willing to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team before the official match.

After the ring was set up, in the half month of training in Qinhuangdao, the two did not have any more disputes. They are actively practicing their tactical lineups.

Although Jonas looked down on Zhou Zheng's fast attack, he still took up a lot of training time, and he usually handed over the players to Zhou Zheng until they were exhausted, and let Zhou Zheng go to practice.

Zhou Zheng doesn't care about these either, he has very few requirements for the amount of training for his players.

While Jonas was training, he kept crouching and watching the technical characteristics of the players. As a point guard, the most important thing is to get the shells into the opponent's hands in a timely manner.

Half a month has passed in a flash.

Soon the first game was already here.

The match kicked off at Beijing's Shougang Stadium, with CCTV broadcasting the warm-up match in prime time.

Everyone thought that this would be Zhou Zheng's debut in China.

However, after the whole game, Zhou Zheng did not play. He sat on the bench in a suit with a very focused expression and his eyes were always glued to the court...... Actual combat is the most direct stage to test the technical characteristics of teammates.

The audience didn't know about the bet between Zhou Zheng and Jonas, and they didn't know that Zhou was carefully observing the dynamics of his teammates. They only knew that Zhou Zheng actually didn't play, and actually sat on the bench and was content?

This made the fans and spectators who were looking forward to their debut extremely disappointed, especially after the defeat, their disappointment instantly turned into curses.

"Coward!"

"Gutsless rats!"

"An NBA star doesn't even have the courage to shine a sword, what kind of hero is he?"

"Can you be a chicken thief a little more? First we didn't report to the team, and if we did, we didn't play, is this playing like monkeys?"

“…………”

The cursing is endless, and the online world in 06 is more aggressive than ten years later, and their tolerance for sports stars is almost zero. Yao Shu is like this, Liu Xiang is like this, and Zhou Zheng will certainly not be an exception.

'We're still adjusting and I'm sure we can play better in the next game. Wang Zhizhi said in an interview after the game.

He scored a game-high 19 points, but it still didn't change the fact that the Chinese team scored only 58 points, while the Australians on the opposite side scored 77 points.

'Our team is not in a state of unity. That's all I can say. ”

Jonas' post-match visit was brief.

But it instantly forced Zhou Zheng to the situation of 'pointed out by a thousand people'.

Originally, everyone was very unhappy with Zhou Zheng's non-play, but now he deliberately said that there was a split within the team, didn't this directly roast Zhou Zheng on the charcoal fire?

As a result, public opinion exploded for a while, and a large number of media reported the news that Zhou Zheng was unwilling to contribute to the country.

This made Zhou Zheng extremely angry.

His dislike for Jonas also reached the extreme.

He always thought that this was just a tactical dispute, but Jonas repeatedly expanded the conflict, and even used this way to provoke public opinion to destroy himself.

"This gringo is smashing your job. ”

Lin Wanwan looked at the news report on TV and was very angry.

"Endure and endure, no need to endure again. ”

Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth, he dialed the CCTV reporter's phone and took the initiative to ask him to come over and conduct an exclusive interview with him.

CCTV reporters soon came to Zhou Zheng's house with a film crew, and Zhou Zheng sat in front of the TV and told reporters unmistakably: "Jonas's heart can be punished." ”

"I led the Adidas advanced training team into the national team at my own expense, which is called not wanting to play for the country? ”

"What did the people who said that I only had money do for this country? In order to play the national team, I pushed off the schedule for two months, and the price of a commercial performance in the United States was 800,000 US dollars, how much money do you calculate how much money I lost?"

"This is not the first time he has stirred up public opinion, and I don't know what he has in mind. I'll admit I did have an argument with him, but it was only a tactical argument. I want to lead this team in a fast attack, but he feels we should play the way Lithuania plays. ”

"The reason why I didn't show up against Australia was because I had agreed with him and the leaders of the basketball association. In the last two warm-up games, we used our own tactics to fight one game and use actual combat to test whose method is more suitable for today's Chinese team. ”

"In the end, the national team has him and not me. ”

Zhou Zheng has a clear banner, and he does not shy away from it: "The contradiction between me and him is irreconcilable. I hope you can make your choice after the game against Greece. ”

Zhou Zheng's interview was broadcast at half past six in the afternoon of the same day, and all of a sudden, public opinion reversed, and the voices supporting Zhou Zheng began to gain some upper hand.

The next day, at the training gym, Zhou Zheng had stopped talking to Jonas, and he was unwilling to have any more communication with him.

The two became inseparable.

The officials of the basketball association were also ready at this time, and emotionally speaking, they were more inclined to Zhou Zheng, after all, Zhou was born and raised in Chinese. But... Zhou Zheng has never proven himself the most in the national team competition, and if he really doesn't fit into the FIBA system as Jonas said, then... It takes a lot of courage to get rid of Jonas, who once led the team to defeat the Dream Team.

"It depends on Sunday's game, if Zhou Zheng can lead the team to play evenly with the Greek team, we will choose Zhou Zheng. ”

"It's too difficult to score up and down, as long as the score difference is within 10 points, we can bet on Zhou Zheng. ”

"Okay, that's within 10 percent. ”

The leaders of the basketball association have already made a decision in the office.

However, Zhou Zheng was outside with the team members in a very easy offensive and defensive drill.

Zhou Zheng's physical fitness can only be said to be barely surviving in the NBA, but in front of the guards of the national team... can be regarded as a muscular person.

This made Zhou Zheng very worried, this kind of confrontation ability, when he met those strong men in Europe and the United States, he would suffer a loss.

However, there are also surprises that make Zhou Zheng feel that the players, whether they are big men or guards, have very good shooting ability, although the ability to run without the ball needs to be strengthened, but out of the vacancy, the shooting rate is still good.

Zhou Zheng was in training camp, emphasizing the importance of running and also showing off a pass...... When a player runs out of the open space, he can immediately receive a pass, which will greatly improve the enthusiasm of the player to run, especially when the hit rate is still guaranteed, and playing will become a pleasure.

After a training match, many players said that they had never played so comfortably.

Zhou Zheng just smiled, and then told everyone that when playing Greece, you must play 100% passionately, and you can't lose all the warm-up games, right?

No one wants to lose out, but at the same time they feel that the Greek team is a towering mountain that they cannot cross.

The Chinese team is ambivalent and excited.

Sunday was fast in coming.

The game was still held at the Shougang Stadium, and Central Radio 5 still gave a live broadcast in prime time.

The game attracted more than 100 million TV viewers, which can be described as a crowd of thousands of people, whether basketball fans or not, everyone is staying in front of the TV at the moment waiting for Zhou Zheng's national team debut.

"This game is of great significance to Zhou Zheng, and his conflict with coach Jonas has been completely made public. We know that Zhou Zheng is a player with a very personality, he debuted at Stanford University abroad, and since his first game in college, he has been the core of the absolute right to speak, including in the NBA, he has enjoyed the unprecedented unlimited right to fire. And Coach Jonas is notoriously strict and stubborn, he doesn't like personality players, what he needs is screw after screw, forming a tight machine, and then driven by his willpower. It is inevitable that the two of them will have a conflict. ”

CCTV's ball commentary commented before the game.

"What really angered Zhou Zheng by coach Jonas was his two statements about Zhou Zheng in front of the media, and he used very strong hints. But in fact, Zhou Zheng is very patriotic, with his value in the North American entertainment industry, if he doesn't play in the World Championships, he can earn more money, which he can't even earn by playing games for a season. Moreover, he also brought Adidas' professional physical trainers to the national team to conduct physical training for the national team players, which he paid for. I think... In any case, those who attacked Zhou Zheng with foul language under the pretext of patriotism owe him an apology. ”

"Alright, the game is on. ”

We saw that Zhou Zheng was wearing the No. 10 jersey of the national team, and he was accompanied by Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng. ”

"On the Greek side... Wow, the 'King of Europe' Spanoulis made his debut, as well as Papaduloros, who is known as the best center outside the NBA, and the European flag Papalokas also took off his coat, plus Mihalis and Demontitis, the elite of the Greek team is all out. ”

“……”

While the CCTV anchor introduced the players of both sides, the players of both sides shook hands with each other on the pitch and questioned each other.

"I've watched your game. ”

When Spanolis shook hands with Zhou Zheng, he had a brief chat with Zhou Zheng: "You double-killed the Rockets last season, but you won't be so lucky next season." ”

"Because, Team Rocket is about to have the king of Europe!"

Spanoulis was in high spirits.

Zhou Zheng smiled faintly, he didn't expect that when he arrived at the international arena, there would still be people looking for him to spray trash talk.

"Then do I want to tell you in advance, welcome to the NBA?" Zhou Zheng smiled faintly: "Rookie!"

The bearded Spanouris was stunned, and he glanced at the young and handsome Zhou Zheng in front of him...... Call me a rookie?
