The next day, Yao Ming and Zhou Xuan met and were interviewed by reporters.

Yao Ming humored, and his first sentence was, "I feel that my leadership position is seriously threatened." The second sentence was "Okay, I'll admit he's more of a team core than I am, and although he hasn't trained with us yet, I know he's going to play well." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Fans and friends, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

A reporter asked about the relationship between Zhou Xuan and Kolo Moretz.

Zhou Xuan said: "We are good friends, she is like my sister, she likes China, so this time I came back to China to play, and my parents also like her very much." ”

Many people don't believe this. There are more and more people on the Internet who think they are a good match, and Chloe has grown to 165CM, and he doesn't look like a child when standing with him. Compared with Emma Watson, Chloe is closer to China, having gone to Hong Kong last year to shoot "Pacific Rim". The main thing is that they have been together for a long time, much longer than Emma, a real girlfriend.

There are also many people who say that the people who support Chloe and Zhou Xuan to be together are beasts, although she is dressed maturely, she is only 15 years old after all. A group of people encouraged Zhou Xuan to commit crimes, what kind of system did it become?

After a few days of activities, Kolo and Zhou Xuan's parents acted together, and Zhou Xuan officially participated in the national team training.

A total of 21 people include Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Bo (Bayi), Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, Yang Ming (Liaoning), Zhang Zhaoxu, Liu Wei (Shanghai), Ding Jinhui (Zhejiang), Yi Li (Jiangsu), Wang Zhelin (Fujian), Xirelijiang (Xinjiang). Zhou Peng, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Chen Jianghua (Guangdong), Sun Yue (Aoshen), Zhai Xiaochuan, Zhu Yanxi (Beijing). Zhou Xuan, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming (NBA).

The head coach is Deng Huade, and the assistant coaches Li Nan, Enak, and Rickby.

On the first day of entering the team report, Zhou Xuan greeted everyone. There is no flattery and no showmanship, it is plain, so that he makes a good impression on people. Because he called out the names of all the players in the training camp, he didn't just talk to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and he was not pretentious at all.

Before this meeting, several young players were really afraid that when they greeted Zhou Xuan, he would say, "What's your name, I haven't seen you play." That's shameless.

This is a detail, Zhou Xuan asked the Basketball Association for a list and information before returning to China, and looked at everyone's photos, CBA data, and technical characteristics. The national team scout is Ferro from the United States, and he is as professional as an NBA scout when it comes to gathering information. He gave Zhou Xuan everything he wanted.

In the first training match, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Zhaoxu, Yi Jianlian, Yi Li, and Zhu Fangyu were in a group, and easily defeated Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Liu Wei.

It only took 10 minutes for everyone to serve Zhou Xuan. The level of MVP is too far behind that of Chinese defenders. broke through with a block, Wang Zhizhi's tragic speed couldn't keep up at all, and then he scored with 60-degree consecutive shots on both sides. As soon as the guard chased the defense or the side was trapped, Zhou Xuan immediately divided the ball, Yi Jianlian made a jumper in the middle, and Zhu Fangyu made a side jumper.

The coaching staff understands that even if it is Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming's team, they can't prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through, at most it is an offensive strong point, and they explode each other. Yao Ming's efficiency in attacking in the low post is not as high as Zhou Xuan's, and the Chinese team finally has a big killer on the outside.

The tactics to play are very simple, block and dismantle Zhou Xuan, or cover without the ball, Zhou Xuan runs to the weak side, and the side can be hung to Yao Ming to play alone or pass Zhou Xuan to the opponent's inside line in a disposition. If these moves are played well, they can compete with European teams with their attacks. The others tried their best to defend except for shooting three-pointers.

After three days of training, the defenders in the team all looked for Zhou Xuan to fight alone, which was a rare opportunity to ask for advice. Kobe Bryant and James went to China, but not everyone had the opportunity to fight them alone. And Zhou Xuan didn't have the slightest shelf, and those who came did not refuse. As a result, several guards were stimulated by Zhou Xuan's dazzling feints, and no one could prevent him one-on-one, all of them were easy layups after the breakthrough.

Zhou Xuan taught all the guards a lesson with practical actions, the little man jumps high, no matter how beautiful the dunk is, it is useless, at most it is a performance, and being proficient in dribbling the ball and being able to break through and divide the ball is the king.

After returning to China, Zhou Xuan's explosive power in the NBA, which is not too prominent, has also become an advantage, and after confronting NBA players, it feels very easy to confront Chinese players.

Everyone here has significant shortcomings. Liu Wei can shoot suddenly, his organizational ability and overall view are average, Chen Jianghua's body is thin, his speed is fast, his playing style is not like a point guard at all, and his heads-up ability is good.

If there is no Zhou Xuan, Liu Wei is not bad. In the summer of 2004, Liu Wei was invited to participate in the trial for the Kings, and on the eve of the NBA China game, he got a non-guaranteed contract, but later the Kings chose to give up the official signing with Liu Wei due to too many point guards in the team. As long as he works hard in the United States, he may be able to play a role player in the NBA. He beat Calderón at the Olympics, and now he is not as physically as good as he was at his peak, but he is very experienced.

Zhou Xuan chatted with Deng Huade during the break. Lao Deng asked: "What do you think, where do you have the confidence to go?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I think the Chinese team is quite strong, especially on the inside. Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian can shoot after blocking and dismantling, and even shoot three-pointers, Yao Qiang attacks in the low post, plus my breakthrough and distribution, there are also pitchers on the outside, and the lineup configuration is very reasonable. I hope to make it to the semi-finals or even the finals. ”

"You think the same way I do." Deng Huade laughed.

Zhou Xuan said: "I think the biggest problem of the team is not attack, but defense. The team's defensive intensity is far from the NBA's. Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue's defense in the NBA is not very good, and the others are not as good as them, and it is difficult to prevent the opponent from attacking with me and Yao Ming alone. So I suggest that when you decide on the roster, try to keep people who are good at defense, and we will definitely have no problem attacking. ”

Deng Huade nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”

The list wants to choose people who can defend, Ding Jinhui has a chance, he attacks averagely, but he is willing to defend desperately.

As for the defensive player Zhou Peng, who was blown very well, he is 207CM, the No. 4 position is too thin, the defensive outside guard is not fast enough, the ball is pressed, and the shooting ability is very average, and it is definitely a tragedy to put the NBA. In China, he was regarded as a star of hope.

Zhou Xuan also found a problem. The scoring ability of Chinese players has dropped very much under close defense. It's not bad to see strength training in the gym, but it's not good.

This is determined by the way Chinese basketball is cultivated. The use of technology in physical confrontation is very rare. The first is that the coach's training intensity is not enough, and the second is that the referee blows the penalty scale. CBA should not blow indiscriminately, completely ruining the correct basketball concept and correct playing style of Chinese players, as soon as there is physical contact, first raise your hand, and then call the referee if there is physical contact. A bunch of spoiled CBA big names go to the international arena, and the referee can only suffer a dumb loss if he doesn't blow it.

Chloe Moretz followed Zhou Xuan's parents to Jinan to play, to see where Zhou Xuan grew up, Zhou Xuan continued closed training.

The Stankovic Cup was held in Guangzhou on July 6. The Chinese men's basketball team welcomed the only Olympic national team in this cup - Tunisia in the first game. As a result, the African champion did not pose much threat to the Chinese men's basketball team, and after resisting for two quarters, it was completely defeated, 91-55, and the Chinese men's basketball team won a big start to the Cup.

And the Chinese team has reservations. Yao Ming and Zhou Xuan were replaced and rested at half-time, focusing on young players.

The Chinese team's performance was somewhat unexpected, and they won all two games to reach the final.

In the final, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Australia with a disparity of 83-48 and won the championship. Zhou Xuan felt that this was all reasonable, and after playing in the NBA, he came to play the second team in Australia, which was simply playing against a group of amateur players.

Fans are still very happy that this is the first time that the Chinese team has won the championship since the 2005 Si Cup. After the game, Yi Jianlian averaged 21 per game with 4 games. With a 3-point, 12-rebound performance, he was elected MVP. He's played the longest and the coach wants to build his confidence in this way.

After the game, people praised Zhou Xuan, believing that he brought good luck to the Chinese team, and expected him to show his full strength in the main match.

Only 15 of them went to Europe for training, and three were on the bench after an injury. The 12-man men's basketball squad is basically confirmed.

Center: Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhaoxu.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Ding Jinhui.

Small forwards: Yi Li, Zhu Fangyu.

Scoring guards: Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue.

Point guards: Chen Jianghua, Zhou Xuan, Liu Wei.

Deng Huade still prefers small-ball tactics. Therefore, Zhou Peng, Wang Zhelin and others were defeated. Otherwise, he will definitely suffer a loss against a fast team, and Zhou Xuan can play a two-way guard to enhance the attack.

After the list was released, many fans said that this was the strongest Chinese national team in history, both inside and out. Approaching the Olympic Games, the men's basketball team flew to Europe to warm up.

On July 22, in the match with Poland, Zhou Xuan's playing time increased. He played 31 minutes and had 22 points and 11 assists. The Chinese men's basketball team won the opponent 88-72 and won 11 consecutive warm-up games. At the same time, Deng Huade's embarrassing record of 16 consecutive defeats in overseas games led by Deng Huade also came to an end.

Poland didn't let go of the water, they have Gortat, a center who plays for the Suns. However, in the face of Yao Ming's Polish hammer, he was still a little tender, and Zhou Xuan also had an absolute advantage on the periphery.

The next day, the two sides played again, and China won again 85-78. Fans are more optimistic about the prospects of the Olympics. Zhou Xuan only played 20 minutes, which was enough to compete with the European team. This time he won the outside three-pointer, Chen Jianghua scored 18 points, and Zhou Xuan's double guard attack was sharp.

After this game, the Chinese men's basketball team flew from Poland to London and settled in the Olympic Village.

The Chinese men's basketball team once again issued a collective gag order, requiring team members not to be allowed to accept any interviews without approval in the days before and during the Olympic Games. This gag order is not aimed at leading stars like Zhou Xuan and Yao Ming. As long as they go out, they will be interviewed, is it possible that their personal freedom has been restricted these days?

The crowd have a week to recuperate and take on their first opponent, European champions Spain, on the 29th.
