Chapter 18: National Team Report
When Zhou Zheng arrived at the training hall, the players of the national team were actively training, and tomorrow they will go to Hebei to play a warm-up match. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis is a competition arranged by 'Infront', which has a strong commercial atmosphere and is not very confrontational, more like going to a third- or fourth-tier city to earn money to earn tickets.
Zhou Zheng has no plans to participate in training, he came this time to communicate briefly with the players, and then go to talk to the leaders of the Basketball Association about the sneakers.
The equipment for the national team is contracted by Nike, so they put forward the requirement that all national team players must wear Nike equipment.
Yao Shu is a special case.
Now, Zhou Zheng also wants this special case.
As Adidas' number one star, as the ruler of all Nike's signature shoes in the East Asian market, how could Zhou Zheng wear Nike's sneakers?
Adidas didn't allow this to happen.
Zhou Zheng, Nike executives and leaders of the Basketball Association launched a three-way meeting, Zhou Zheng maintained the posture of a spectator, and Lin Wanwan kept arguing over there.
An hour and a half later, it was difficult to reach an agreement that Zhou Zheng could wear his signature shoes. This is a major step backwards made by Nike, and the basketball association has made some other compensatory moves for them.
Then, Lin Wanwan won a high amount of insurance for Zhou Zheng.
The Basketball Association was very generous with this, and they didn't make any bargaining on this matter.
Before Zhou Zheng left the training hall, he still took the initiative to meet with Younas.
Younas was very arrogant, he just responded to Zhou Zheng's greeting lightly. then asked Zhou Zheng when he would be able to return to the team, and also emphasized that he has high requirements for shooting.
He still wanted to give Zhou Zheng a dismount.
He is still haunted by his failure in the media, and as a traditional European coach, he has an almost perverted quest for the authority of the manager. He couldn't tolerate the kind of superstar head coach that happened in the NBA locker room.
Zhou Zheng is a very good person, if the other party is not particularly excessive, he usually does not care about anything.
However, Younas's pretentious posture made him extremely uncomfortable.
So, the conversation ended quickly.
Zhou Zheng walked to the side, warmly hugged and greeted every player, he could call out the name of every player in the training hall, although there are many people here who have a competitive relationship with him, but basically everyone greeted him with a smile, after all, everyone is Chinese, everyone is playing for the country.
"This is amazing in the United States. Wang Zhizhi, who had just returned to China in the summer, said with a smile: "He is different from Da Yao, Da Ba and me. When we went to the United States, we were a foreign guest, and he was like a fish in water. TV stations, newspapers and the Internet broadcast his news every day, those female stars in Hollywood, the United States, he didn't provoke less, there was a lot of lace news... What is the name of that sentence, the carp that crosses the river! What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century? Talent !!
"Big stars, tell us about your achievements in the NBA. ā
"Tell me how to hook up with the ...... of the Yanmar"
"I haven't opened a foreign meat yet......
After asking these curious babies of the national team, Zhou Zheng understood that there was no difference between China and the United States. The Portland locker room is basically mostly full of these questions, gossip!
Zhou Zheng was worried about how to answer this group of gossip people, Younas clapped his palms vigorously over there and shouted loudly: "Full-field confrontation training, speed gather!!"
"Alright, you guys train. Zhou Zheng waved his hand: "I'll go back first, see you in Qinhuangdao next week!"
Then, head outside.
Although Zhou Zheng did not participate in the joint training of the national team, he did not relax his personal training, and he has been training with a physical trainer in his own training room.
"Why do I always feel that I can't use the strength in my body?" Zhou Zheng had already asked his trainer more than once: "This situation has been going on for a long time, and I have been checked by Luo Wen's electronic equipment before, and nothing wrong has been found." ā
The ace trainer sent by the headquarters of Adias was also very strange: "This is a very rare situation, and on Wednesday several senior experts from the headquarters will come over to give you a comprehensive and detailed examination. ā
"However, you don't need to be overly nervous, the data I have listed here shows that your training arc has not been significantly abnormal during this time, and has been steadily improving. ā
The physical trainer reassured Zhou Zheng, who was worried that Zhou Zheng would have psychological pressure because of this.
Zhou Zheng didn't have any psychological pressure, he was just naturally vigilant against this kind of uncontrollable thing.
On Wednesday, Adidas' professional team conducted a professional and detailed physical examination for Zhou Zheng, and finally came to the conclusion that it was ...... Zhou Zheng may have been too nervous to play for his country for the first time, so his psychological anxiety affected some of his physical reactions.
They prescribed Zhou Zheng some calming pills.
Zhou Zheng turned around and threw them into the trash.
He thinks this conclusion is nonsense...... Isn't it clear to me if I'm not anxious?
On Thursday morning, the grouping of the World Championships was released, and the Chinese team was divided into Group D, along with the United States, Italy, Puerto Rico, Senegal and Slovenia. Except for Senegal, which is slightly weaker, the other four teams, the Chinese team has a very, very small chance of winning.
"The group of death, the group of absolute death. If Yao Shu is sure not to participate... It is difficult for the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage. Alas, wait 08 years!"
"Although the reality is so cruel, I really hope that a miracle will happen. After all, you can't be a shame in Little Japan. ā
"If Zhou Zheng can fit into Younas's European system, or if he can lead the national team to play and hit, then... There is still a silver lining. But both of these are too difficult. ā
"Zhou Zheng, as an American-style point guard, is indeed very difficult to make him a point guard of the European style. However, it may not be impossible for him to lead the Chinese team to run and bomb. Before Yao Shu was born, the Chinese team was originally known for its 'small and fast' style of play. ā
"Playing small, fast, running, running, Younas, can agree, Caesar can't let his team deviate from his track. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
At the most professional basketball forum in China, there was a sigh that they had no hope for this World Championship.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zheng had already arrived at the Qinhuangdao training base on Friday.
Zhou Zheng will have a half-month retreat here.
Try your best to understand the characteristics of each teammate's playing style.
Although he is no longer optimistic about the Chinese team, Zhou Zheng feels that there is still hope.
Moreover, as a Chinese, as a descendant of proletarian revolutionaries, Zhou Zheng felt that he had no reason to accept one fiasco after another in Japan!
Therefore, he led all the trainers of Adi's team to report on the national team, and he knew that the most lacking thing in the national team was professional trainers.
