Accompanied by Nike staff and Pelinka and others, Li Du returned to China with Preti. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people sent by Nike to pick up the plane were waiting at Beijing International Airport early, and Li Du and the others were arranged in the hotel as soon as they got off the plane. This is routine work, and there is nothing to say, but what Li Du didn't expect was that the driver who came to pick up the airport turned out to be his fan.

The driver knew all about Li Du's information and experience, and even he and Pratti fell in love at first sight and knew that they had married in India according to local customs! Pelinka lamented that Chinese fans may be the most enthusiastic fans in the world.

After Li Du gave the driver a signed basketball, he checked into the hotel under the arrangement of Nike. After returning to the hotel, Li Du called Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, I have arrived in Beijing and live in ......."

Yao Ming asked Li Du if he needed to reverse jet lag, and after getting the answer that Li Du didn't need, he immediately arranged a car to pick up Li Du to go to the national team training hall.

After hanging up the phone, Li Du asked Pelinka: "Robert, I'm going to the training hall of the Chinese men's basketball team today, do you need to be accompanied by Nike?" ”

Pelinka smiled: "Lee, it's good for you to go with Preti, you are the guests they invited, naturally no problem." No one else can get in, and China is much better than the United States in terms of security. ”

Li Du nodded, rested with Pretti, and after eating at noon, he followed the people sent by Yao Ming to the training hall.

After getting in the car, they stopped and walked around for a long time before they came to the training hall of the Chinese men's basketball team, and to Li Du's surprise, it was located in a military zone!

Yao Ming was already waiting at the training gate, and after Li Du got out of the car, Yao Ming greeted him in English: "Finally waiting for you, Li!" Come, come in and take a look, help us guide and guide! ”

Li Du replied in Chinese: "Brother Yao, don't use English when you return to China." Brother Yao is very gracious, I am just here to play, not to mention any guidance. ”

Yao Ming smiled, took Li Du and Pretti to the training hall, and said as he walked: "Xiao Du, how does it feel to come back?" ”

"Very good!" Li Du said honestly: "Everyone here speaks Chinese, and whoever I listen to now feels very cordial!" ”

Yao Ming nodded, "Only people who have lived abroad for many years can understand how good China is." After sighing at this sentence, Yao Ming changed his words and said, "Xiao Du, I don't have much?" Excuse me, let's get down to business. On behalf of the Chinese Basketball Association, I sincerely invite you to serve as the special assistant of the Chinese men's basketball team, and you can help us see what else can be improved. What do you think? ”

Yao Ming mentioned this matter to Li Du last season, but Li Du never agreed, nor refused, just dragged it on, and now that he has returned to China, Yao Ming brought it up again, and he also knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, so he said: "Brother Yao, I'd better take a look first, national art is different from basketball, and I'm not sure." And what the domestic players are like, I don't know yet, let's see before we decide. ”

As the two spoke, they walked into the training hall, and after Yao Ming introduced Li Du to head coach Younas, he continued to participate in the training.

Younas, known as the "Caesar of Europe", is a very strong coach, but he is very polite to Li Du. Nothing else, because Li Du is not his subordinate, and Li Du is strong in his own strength, and he is also an inspirational model in the NBA, Li Du himself has nothing to blame Younas.

Younas asked the two assistant coaches to take the national team players to do basic training first, and then said to Li Du: "Lee, I have watched your game. You're very strong, and you're also very smart when you play. Yao has a lot of respect for you, and I hope you can help me see how strong these players are now. May I? ”

Li Du nodded, and then took Pretti to the sidelines to watch the national team training. However, after only watching about one section, Pretti began to yawn, and Li Du also had a boring expression.

Li Du said to Younas: "Coach Younas, do they usually train like this?" ”

Younas nodded, he also knew what Li Du wanted to say, and sighed: "No way, they are all strong in China, if you want to combine them, I'm afraid no one can do it except Yao!" I can only let them try to do some small cooperation, and the overall tactics can only rely on Yao. ”

Li Du watched a game on the sidelines and found that this internal training almost did not defend directly, and everyone focused on scoring.

Compared to inside the Lakers, even the practice game is similar to the official game, and Li Du finds this kind of game boring, no wonder even Pretti is starting to yawn.

The training match can be stopped at any time, and after a few balls, Yao Ming walked up to Li Du and sat down, and asked Li Du, "Xiao Du, what do you think?" ”

Li Du supported his head with one hand, casually pointed to Pretti next to him, and said, "Brother Yao, you can see my daughter-in-law like this, this kind of training game is really boring!" ”

Yao Ming laughed: "I know, I know, you are famous for your defense, the best defensive player in the world, naturally you attach great importance to defense!" ”

"That's not it!" Li Du said to Yao Ming solemnly: "Brother Yao, you know, I just played at the beginning to repay Kobe, and I will do whatever he wants me to do." I started out on defense, which just shows that the NBA is actually very defense-oriented! Think about it, the team that can make it to the Finals is not defensive? ”

Yao Ming said: "Yes, offense wins the game, defense wins the championship. I've heard this phrase since I first entered the NBA. But our team is asking everyone to defend desperately, so what about the offense? If you use too much energy on the defensive end, your shooting percentage on the offensive end will be greatly affected. ”

Li Du spread his hands, "That's what you have to think about!" To be honest, I just watched a game, and their offense can only be regarded as average, if you don't fight defense, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous! Moreover, even if the Chinese men's basketball team has a very good offense, in terms of offensive strength, I'm afraid that no team can compare with the United States team this year, right? ”

Yao Ming couldn't help but nodded, after the loss of the 2006 World Championships, the United States national men's basketball team finally began to face up to world basketball, this time the United States sent a dream 8 team dominated by superstars such as Kobe Bryant and James, the overall strength is so strong, it is said that even in the face of the dream 1 team of the year, it will not fall behind!

When Li Du and Yao Ming were talking on the sidelines, a strong wind struck, and Li Du was alarmed, so he instinctively raised his hand to block it.

With a "bang", Li Du had an extra basketball in his hand, and someone smashed him with a basketball just now! As soon as Li Du looked up, he saw a slender player standing on the field, it was Sun Yue.
