Chapter 393: Hunting Robes
It is undoubtedly a supreme honour to distribute jerseys representing the country. γLatest chapter reading. γ
The 14 players of the World Youth Team stood in a line on the court, and Yang Juncheng handed out the white jerseys printed with the pinyin of each player one by one.
Zhang Yufeng continued to choose No. 24.
After two months of getting along, all the players on the team knew that his most admired idol was Kobe Bryant, although there were also two players who also liked Kobe, but considering Zhang Yufeng's core position in the team, the two players also obediently gave up this number.
Zhang Yufeng took the jersey, put it on his body excitedly, and stroked the five-star red flag on his chest, he felt bursts of blood boiling, and it was only at this time that he really felt the special meaning of serving the country.
Not only can you see the level of world basketball, but also wear this outfit, you are an official national team player, representing the motherland!
At this time, in his eyes, this is no longer an ordinary jersey, but a robe with hunting majesty, put on this robe, standing on the field, it is as if on the battlefield, even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, he will move forward, take out a sword and the courage and determination of a million divisions!!
I believe that it is not only him at this moment, but all the players who receive this shirt will feel this way.
The pride of serving the country flowed in everyone's blood, and the determination to win glory for the country was engraved on everyone's face.
As an official member of the World Youth National Team, it's a dream come true.
Yang Juncheng looked at everyone's reaction in the same way, and couldn't help but show a smile, thinking that when he picked up the provincial team jersey, he was already excited to cry, not to mention that now these teenagers are wearing the jersey of the national team, it is estimated that the excitement will increase several times.
"Okay, everyone calm down, there's still a game to play in half an hour." Yang Juncheng spoke at the right time.
At the mention of the game, everyone's expressions became serious, this will be their first match against foreign players, and it will be on their home turf, so it stands to reason that this game must be won.
But the Australian youth team is not a team that can be won if you say win, with the rapid development of international basketball, there are more and more basketball powers, the Australian team is a new strong team, there are many Australian players have landed in the NBA, among which Bogut was selected by the Bucks as the champion in 05 years, winning glory for his country.
Yang Juncheng saw everyone's nervousness and said: "I know you are very nervous, I was also nervous when I competed with foreign players for the first time, but what can I do if I am nervous?" I still have to bite the bullet, even if it's N pants, and then I found out after I played, foreign players are not as strong as I imagined, except for individual players who have an absolute advantage, most of the rest of the players are the same as us, at most, the physical fitness is slightly better, as for the technique, it is also half a catty. β
"I've looked into this team, and there's only one ace, it's Simmons who wears the number 20 jersey, and there is no other player who is particularly good except for him, and this Simmons is still in the United States, and this game is not going to happen, so we have to win this game."
"Coach, how strong is this Simmons?" Zhang Yufeng suddenly asked.
Yang Juncheng paused and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Very strong, known as the second genius who can land in the NBA with a high pick in the future after Bogut." β
"That's amazing!" Zhang Yufeng couldn't help but exclaim, with a look of yearning in his eyes, that is a master who can land in the NBA, what kind of feeling will it be to compete with such a master? .
The rest of them showed a little fear, the NBA was too far away for them, and they were not confident to play against the genius who landed in the NBA.
"So, you have a long way to go." Yang Juncheng's expression suddenly became serious, "It is an indisputable fact that the basketball level of our country is indeed worse than that of foreign countries, and the domestic media are not optimistic about our trip to the World Youth Championships, after all, the last time the World Youth Championships were beaten back without even entering the quarterfinals." β
Although there are not many reports about the last World Youth Championships, as a veteran basketball fan, everyone will still see this news in some sports newspapers, which is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching and disappointing fact.
I didn't even reach the quarterfinals in the last World Youth Championships, so what about this time?
"But so what?" Yang Juncheng's tone was calm and firm, not as excited as he imagined.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at him closely, listening to what he said next.
"They are them, we are us, how can we be compared? You are all first-class talented players in China carefully selected by me, and to put it bluntly, you are the future of national basketball, and you shoulder the important mission of reviving national basketball, and this World Youth Championship is just the beginning. β
"So I hope you are fearless, whether you succeed or fail, just let the media who despise you stop despising you, and let the fans who love you see the hope of national basketball, that's enough!!"
Yang Juncheng's tone was calm and his voice was firm, but it aroused the emotions of the players, and they felt that there was blood flowing in their bodies, and there was a kind of pride gushing out.
I have to admit that Yang Juncheng's words did have a role, making their high fighting spirit offset their fear.
"Coach, don't worry, we will definitely win this warm-up game!" Ji Fan said sonorously that it is necessary for him, who has become the spiritual leader of the team, to speak on behalf of everyone.
"Hmm!" Yang Juncheng nodded, "There is still an hour of training to start, everyone hurry up and warm up." β
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and began to warm up in their battle robes.
Because the warm-up game was still closed, the arena was empty, and there was no one but a few staff members.
Half an hour later, the Australian team also came to the stadium, changed their clothes and began to warm up, their figure is obviously stronger than the World Youth Team, and the average height is much higher, which makes the National Youth Team feel the pressure invisibly.
Although there was pressure, I was not afraid, but I had a sense of impatience to try.
Half an hour later, the competition officially began, and the judges began to introduce the starters of both sides.
