The whole conference is to encourage, encourage, encourage, refuel, refuel...... Talk about the goal, how many medals you want to win, and how many gold medals you want to get in some events......

Anyway, it's nothing to do with their men's basketball team.

After the meeting, Xu Xuan was ready to get together with the UAE and Da Yao, and had made an appointment to have dinner together tonight.

But before he was ready to go, a call from team manager Pelinka came.

After the general manager on the other end of the phone connected: "Xu, there is good news, we signed Frank ......"

......

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Really signed Frank?

He suddenly remembered that night that Frank's contract seemed to have expired, but it had not been renewed, and Xu Xuan was wondering if it was possible to sign Frank to the Lakers.

Seriously, in the past two years at the Pacers, Xu Xuan and Frank have really gotten along well, and the two sides know each other very well, and Frank is willing to give power to Xu Xuan.

Don't you see, who is the Lakers coach led by Lao Zhan in the future?

Isn't that the guy in front of you?

Frank doesn't have a lot of control over the team, he likes to study tactics, but he doesn't really have a lot of interest in team power and management.

"How many years have you been signing?"

"Three years, 2+1 contract, we have a team option for the third year." Pelinka replied.

Xu Xuan nodded, three years is normal, and Frank's previous two contracts were three years.

After all, the head coach is not a player, he can't think about long-term stability, and if he can't change a core player, the head coach can't do it.

In three years, it is almost more than 6 million and less than 7 million a year.

Anyway, he is also a champion coach, and this salary is not high, but it is not low.

It's just right.

As soon as he got the news, Xu Xuan also sent his blessings to Frank on Twitter and expressed his excitement.

It's really good to continue to work with Frank, we all know each other, and we don't have to change coaches to get familiar with it.

The mentality of the Pacers is a bit broken.

After winning the championship, the core players left, and now even the championship coach is gone.

Helpless.

However, they were also prepared, in fact, if it weren't for Xu Xuan, Frank would have stepped down a long time ago, and now it just so happens that Nate McMillan is the head coach.

Frank himself is also very excited, for being able to cooperate with Xu Xuan again, for him, it is simply not too beautiful.

Maybe he'll have a chance to win another championship, and then another, and another, and another....... Then he pressed the old Popovich thing under him and rubbed it.

Margo, that scene makes my mouth water.

Frank is also very face-saving, and as soon as the contract is finalized, he went to Los Angeles and began to play a role in the team lineup and matching.

And he also told Xu Xuan that maybe he would go to New York to watch his game.

At this time, the UAE and Da Yao and others also learned from Xu Xuan's mouth that Frank joined the Lakers and expressed their congratulations.

The fact that the champion coach and the championship core are on the same team again carries a lot of reverie.

That night, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

It is not the first time that Xu Xuan has appeared in the national team, Xu Xuan came back during the Asian Championships last year, so a group of national players are almost familiar with Xu Xuan with a little strangeness, and there is a little admiration in the strangeness.

That's the overall winner!

FMVP for the NBA!

It's not at all the same as someone's championship before.

Genuine.

......

The next day, the men's basketball team began training.

Today is the 18th, and the delegation means that the 20th rushed to Brazil en masse.

I could have gone earlier, like the one in London in '12, when the delegation arrived at the Olympics early, but Brazil is different from London.

It's not a mockery, the officials here have already issued various notices.

For example, don't go out at night, don't go out alone, don't expose your wealth, play ball with peace of mind, prepare enough toilet water and mosquito nets, and bring more snacks...... A series of preparatory measures.

Most of Brazil is tropical, with a tropical rainforest climate in the north, a savannah climate in the center, and a humid subtropical monsoon climate in parts of the south.

Rio de Janeiro, the host of the Olympic Games, mainly has a savannah climate, with high temperatures all year round and a lot of mosquitoes......

Mosquitoes were the most annoying.

During the training camp, Xu Xuan's strength once again surprised the national players.

The strength of this hanging man is better than when they saw it last year.

And it's not a little bit of progress.

A group of national players are tired.

Margo, it's already hard to surpass, your side is still making progress, can you leave some way for people to live?

It is indeed progressive, Xu Xuan remembers that last year, his rating was only 580 points, and his talent was also very pitiful, two platinum and one gold.

And now, Xu Xuan's heart moved, and in an instant, a bright big screen appeared in front of him.

Xu Xuan: Male

Age: 20

Rating: 710 (Provisional Rating: 760, Cyan!) ）

Possession of Talents:

Stephen Curry's 3 points – Platinum (progressive)

Aaron Iverson's breakthrough – platinum

Russell Westbrook's body – diamonds

Jason Williams' pass – Platinum (Advanced)

......

The total score of 710, three platinums and one diamond, two of which are still in the advanced stage, maybe when the advanced will be successful, Xu Xuan will have three diamonds on his body at that time!

Gee!

That's when it was called fierce!

......

The head coach of the men's national basketball team this time is still Coach Gong, the head coach of last year's Asian Championships, and Xu Xuan's old acquaintance.

For Xu Xuan's strength, Coach Gong was very pleased.

Although the men's basketball team has no tasks on its part this time, with Xu Xuan, maybe he can make it out of the group stage or even reach the top four?

On the 20th, the group went to Brazil.

It is said that it is collective, but some still go, some do not go, or in batches.

However, the men's basketball team followed the big team.

Departure on the 20th, arrival on the 21st, the whole day was on the plane, this is not counting the waiting time in advance, after coming down, even Xu Xuan felt a little tired.

It's really not a human seat on a plane for such a long time.

And it's different from his usual flight back to China or a game, the plane is too crowded.

He couldn't move even if he wanted to.

After the arrival of the 21st, the men's basketball team had a two-day holiday, one is to rest, but to familiarize everyone with the environment.

The game won't start for a while, and there are still nearly 20 days to go.

It is worth mentioning that this year, the U.S. team also came to the pickled pepper, and he also participated in this year's Olympics.

On the night when Xu Xuan first arrived, this guy joined forces with Durant and others to block Xu Xuan.

Needless to say, the relationship with pickled peppers is needless to say, iron buddy, although Xu Xuan is gone, the relationship between the two will not change much.

And Durant, the hanger, is purely here to eat, I don't know where he heard that the Chinese delegation brought a lot of special food here, and the American delegation arrived earlier than the Chinese delegation, which has made him bored these days.

Rio de Janeiro is home to more than 500 slums, mostly on hillsides, and nearly a million poor people. In Rosinia, the largest slum in Latin America, gangsters with AK47s on their backs can often be seen on the streets, and there are many messy things.

Although during this period, the Brazilian police patrolled day and night, they still couldn't stand it, and there will be a few unlucky ghosts with bad luck.

Therefore, the meaning of the major delegations is that if they can, they will not go out.

Durant wanted to go out, but there was no one to accompany him, and he didn't dare himself.

What if this goes out and gets killed?

He's going to join the Bay Area to win the championship.

Seeing the lineup of the U.S. men's basketball team, Xu Xuan smacked his tongue here.

It's gorgeous.

Look, the head coach is still the old K, the point guards are Irving and Lowry, the scoring guards are Klay and DeRozan, the small forwards are Durant, Pickles, Butler, Barnes, Anthony, the big forward is Green, and the center is Jordan Jr. and Cousins.

But this time, Pickle Pepper signed up for the No. 2 position, and Anthony reported the No. 4 position.

All-Star team, this is a real All-Star team, the only Harrison Barnes who is relatively not so famous, and last season was also the main one who averaged 10+ points per game.

The dream team is not covered, this lineup is Xu Xuan saw that his scalp was numb.

This is a head to fight with them?

It seems that the champion doesn't have to think about it, see if he can hit the medal.

However, there is still a difference between international basketball and the NBA, and it is too difficult for outside players to score under the basket on the international stage, especially for outside players who are accustomed to NBA rules and the size of the court.

The NBA has more space inside the three-point line, more paint and three seconds to defend......

But this is also the reason why a player of Carlos Arroyo's level can beat the entire American team in the international arena, and a good shot is dominant!

To put it bluntly, as long as you are accurate, the American team will not necessarily be so crushing, but if others are also accurate, you can't help it.

After all, the strength of the team is too strong and the lead is too much, if Xu Xuan takes the Pacers who won the championship last season to start with this dream team, it is still reliable, but now this group of national players?

Forget it.

However, Xu Xuan does not plan to admit defeat, this time the goal is to fight for medals!

The men's basketball team has never won an Olympic medal, and if it can win it this time, it will be a record.

It's not that Xu Xuan is unambitious, it's his teammates......

......

After a few people who knew the U.S. team well, it was time for training and various friendly matches.

On the Chinese team's side, due to Xu Xuan's relationship, they played more than three friendly matches with the American team.

Xu Xuan wants this group of national players to feel more about what the world's top basketball strength is, and what is the difference between it and the games they usually play, they are all in the same group, and they must be encountered below.

Not only that, Xu Xuan is also preparing to apply for a China competition with the league next season.

Even if it's a pre-season.

Where is progress without communication?

Xu Xuan is now a superstar player in the league, and he is not only thinking about himself now, but also wants more domestic players to have the ability to enter the NBA.

After all, no matter how much you don't like the NBA, their strength is undeniable.

......

The 12-man squad of the Chinese team this year has not changed much from last year's Asian Championships.

Xu Xuan, A Lian, Zhou Qi, Da Wang, Zou Yuchen, Guo Yilun, Zhao Jiwei, Sui Ran, Zhou Peng, Zhai Xiaochuang, Xiao Ding and Li Gen.

Compared with last year's Asian Championships, there are only two adjustments, Sui Ran and Zou Yuchen replaced Liu Wei and Zhao Tailong respectively.

There is nothing to say about the lineup, everything has to rely on Xu Xuan and the United Arab Emirates.

Others, even this Zhou Qi, who has just been selected by Houston, are actually pendants.

It can be seen from the warm-up match that the level of performance of this group of national players is in four words: a mess!

No wonder he was swept out 5-0 in his previous life, and he couldn't win a game.

You must know that in the previous life, before the start of the Olympic Games, the strength of the men's basketball team was ranked in the third gear by those media experts (this poisonous milk is terrible), second only to the United States national men's basketball team, Spain national men's basketball team, Venezuela national men's basketball team, Argentina national men's basketball team, but in the end it played an embarrassing 0-5 loss.

However, the strength of the UAE is maintained well, and in the past two days of training and warm-up games, Xu Xuan can obviously feel that the UAE is not high, but at least there is the level of high-quality role players in the NBA.

If nothing else, his attributes alone are particularly suitable for today's NBA.

In fact, this kind of strength can't get much improvement in the domestic league, bullying children, Xu Xuan already has an idea in his heart, ready to wait until the Olympics is over, and then explore the tone of the United Arab Emirates, if he can, the Lakers' inner line can definitely have one more strong player, and he can also have more helpers.

patted his face, Xu Xuan didn't think about the future, he enjoyed his national team career first, and practiced for a while to get used to the three-point line in the shape of a full arc.

……

Half an hour passed quickly, and the day's training was over.

But under the leadership of Xu Xuan and the United Arab Emirates, no one dared to "get off work" on time to become a "civil servant", and they all stayed in the stadium to train silently.

Those who are stronger than you are training, where are they embarrassed to go?

Xu Xuan didn't say anything, I will take the lead, if you want to, follow, if you don't want to, go, Xu Xuan won't care.

This is Da Yao's thing.

......

The opening time of the Olympic Games is 7 p.m. local time on August 5.

The first game of the men's basketball team will not start until August 7, and the second game and the opening game will be Australia vs. France.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Olympic Games are grouped into two groups, after the draw, the Chinese team, the United States team, Australia, France, Serbia, and Venezuela are in Group A, and Group B is Croatia, Spain, Lithuania, Argentina, Brazil, and Nigeria.

Each group eliminates two teams to enter the quarterfinals, and the format is a group round-robin, that is, each game is counted as points.

Eliminating two in each group is actually a lot of hope for the Chinese team, even if it is a previous life.

Because although there is the United States team in Group A, there are also two teams that have lost the qualifiers, and the first place is not easy to fight, but it should be possible to advance.

It's a pity, let alone promotion, it's hard to find even a win.

Xu Xuan flipped through the schedule, and found that the first game of the men's basketball team was actually against the United States.

This made him a little speechless, and he suffered a huge blow when he came up, no wonder he couldn't win the next game......
