Chapter 263: Yi Jianlian's NCAA Choice

After a short celebration, both the German team and the Chinese team returned to the locker room to change their clothes, and then they all returned to the field.

The final between Yugoslavia and Argentina will start later.

Of course, there is another reason for this, the award ceremony will be held after this match.

Basketball can be a lot of fun sometimes.

For example, Sun Hao and Bodi Loga finished playing in the Champions League and then met at the World Championships.

Another example is Bodiloga's defeat to Ginobili in the Champions League last year, and then they now meet in the final of the World Championship.

Their fates are intertwined because of basketball.

Sun Hao, sitting between Scarlett and her parents at this time.

The ugly daughter-in-law still saw her in-laws.

Then he found out...... Mom and Dad are quite enthusiastic about Scarlett.

It felt like I was scared that Scarlett had run away!

Sun Hao was speechless for a while, am I so like someone who can't find a wife?

So in order to avoid Scarlett's embarrassment, he sat in the middle position.

But right away, he found out that he was superfluous.

Because...... Scarlett is also very welcoming.

From a bitter child, he is very good at human sophistication.

Although Scarlett was forced by his parents to act all the time, it was that experience that made her very precocious.

My parents' English is level 8, and they have no barriers to communication.

In the back, he simply sat aside and watched his game intently.

Argentina and Yugoslavia should be the pinnacle of basketball in this era.

The same is good at playing team basketball, and similarly, there are star players with outstanding strength.

The game scene is intense, but it does not lose the beauty of basketball.

Sun Hao feels that the Chinese team will be able to play this kind of basketball one day in the future, because they are also slowly forming a tacit understanding.

And you must know that the Chinese team has not only one more him, but everyone else has become stronger.

The two teams played until the final moments, with Peja's stunning three-pointer helping Yugoslavia tie in regulation time.

When it came to overtime, it was Peja again, hitting two three-pointers to help Yugoslavia close the game.

It turns out that in FIBA competitions, the shooter is the one who decides the outcome of the game.

At the moment of the final whistle, the Yugoslav team members hugged each other, and many cried with joy.

That emotion cannot be described in words.

This is their last World Championship, and they bring back the World Championship title for their soon-to-be-vanished homeland!

Sun Hao's heart was also moved.

Perhaps, this is the charm of sports!

Like Didier Drogba, who used football to help his war-torn country, Côte d'Ivoire, end a five-year civil war and bring peace.

This group of Yugoslav basketball players is also doing their best to bring the final glory to their country.

Not long after the end of the game, the best team selection, MVP and medal presentation were held on the spot.

The selection of the best team starts first.

Best point guard: Sun Hao 26.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists;

Best Scoring Guard: Ginobili, 14.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game;

Best Small Forward: Peja, 18.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game;

Best Power Forward: Nowitzki, 24 points and 8.2 rebounds per game;

Best center: Yao Ming, averaging 16.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.1 blocks per game.

Pierce was not selected in the end, which means that no one from the Dream Five team was selected.

The Chinese team has become the biggest winner.

And it is worth mentioning that Yao Ming's average blocks per game and shooting percentage (78%) ranked first in the game.

The little giant is on its edge.

After the best team, it was followed by the MVP award of the tournament.

Sun Hao finally beat Nowitzki and was elected MVP of the 2002 World Championships in Polis.

This result was not too unexpected.

In terms of personal data, Sun Hao has not lost to Nowitzki.

And in terms of record, the Chinese team is also better than the German team.

Sun Hao took the MVP trophy and delivered an acceptance speech.

He thanked his parents, teammates, fans, and also praised his opponents, including Bodi Loga, who completed his revenge on Ginobili;

Nowitzki, the latter, is the real "lone hero" of this World Championships.

And if it weren't for him, Nowitzki would have led Germany to a bronze medal and won the MVP.

After the award ceremony, Sun Hao pulled Nowitzki and chatted for a while.

Dirk, the bronze medal, MVP or anything doesn't matter, the important thing is that they will train together and win the NBA championship together!

After the MVP, it's time for the final medal ceremony.

The Chinese team was the first to take the stage.

In Wang Zhizhi's shout, everyone jumped onto the podium hand in hand.

The moment they actually stood on the podium, they felt that unparalleled sense of pride.

This is not the podium of Asia! It's the World Championships!

Although it was a bronze medal, many people, including Sun Hao, couldn't help but kiss after winning the medal.

This is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has stood on this stage, and then, he is just the beginning.

The Chinese fans at the scene also sent their warm cheers for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team was followed by Argentina and finally Yugoslavia.

The flag was raised and the national anthem of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was played.

When the music sounded, Sun Hao could see that most of Divac's eyes were red.

This gold medal really means a lot to them.

Sun Hao and Yao Ming glanced at each other, and then looked at the same information from each other's eyes.

They also want the March of the Volunteers to be played on the stage of the World Championship!

In other words, they also want to bring the championship to the Chinese team!

Because only champions have that qualification.

Although this time the World Championships are over, the ambitions of the ambitious duo are getting more and more inflated.

The medal ceremony ended, and this time the Polis World Championships finally came to an end.

When Sun Hao went out of the locker room, he saw that Scarlett was already holding her mother's hand.

He felt that he might be superfluous.

However, he must be in a good mood.

He was worried that it would be difficult for them to communicate because of cultural differences.

But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.

It's like a sister.

In the evening, Sun Hao sent them back to the hotel, and his mother pulled him alone and chatted for a while.

Kwascarlett had a lot to say, but in the end, there was something from his mother that touched him very much.

"This child should have lacked parental love when she was a child, you should be kind to her."

Mom is still a very attentive person.

Sun Hao nodded.

In fact, slowly, he also knew that Scarlett had a good impression of him at the beginning because he had an "uncle plot" in his heart.

In the final analysis, that kind of plot is actually a lack of father's love and mother's love.

After the World Championships, the men's basketball team is ready to return home.

Because this summer, in addition to the World Championships, there will also be the Asian Games.

This time the Asian Games will be held in Seoul, South Korea, and with the "wonderful performance" of the South Korean home referee in the previous South Korea-Japan World Cup, this Asian Games will also be predictably difficult.

But it's such a competition, and neither Sun Hao nor Yao Ming will participate.

This is a little different from Li Yuanwei's previous agreement with them.

The reason for this discrepancy is naturally the outstanding performance of the men's basketball team in the World Championships.

This is not only a new record in the World Championships, but also a card!

Basketball is the big three!

Not to mention anything else, everyone in this Basketball Association has merit!

So in this context, when Sun Hao proposed that he and Yao Ming should rest, Li Yuanwei decisively agreed.

However, in addition to the two of them, the remaining 10 people, plus 2 temporary additional players, will go to the Asian Games in Seoul.

The reason for this distinction is simple.

Sun Hao and Yao Ming are the main players in the NBA, basically they have to play for a long time in every game, and they both reach the division finals, and the consumption is very large.

If you're going back and forth all summer, you're prone to injuries.

In contrast, the others either have a short CBA season or limited playing time off the bench in the NBA, and are still physically adequate.

The night before separating from the men's basketball team, Yi Jianlian came to Sun Hao, and the most important thing was naturally to choose a university.

The NCAA teams are in the final stages of recruitment, and he has to make a decision now because he is a little late from participating in the World Championships.

He wanted Sun Hao to give him advice.

"Which school do you prefer?"

Sun Hao asked Yi Jianlian what he thought.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"It's where you want to go."

"I listen to you."

Yi Jianlian's answer made Sun Hao stunned for a moment.

Looking at the boy in front of him, who was already a lot of sunshine, Sun Hao felt that he might not have realized that he had done something very bad.

He seems to have been leading Yi Jianlian around.

Before, Yi Jianlian was still a teenager, and it was no problem to rely on him.

Now that Yi Jianlian is an adult, that kind of dependence is still there, so much so that he doesn't want to think about it when he is with him.

This is certainly not a good thing in the future.

Because he can't always be by Yi Jianlian's side, and the further he goes, the less advice he can give, and it's not even necessarily the most suitable.

In other words, Yi Jianlian's future still depends on himself.

"UAE, which university you go to is very important, so this time you need to choose by yourself, and I can help you refer to it after you choose."

Sun Hao said very seriously.

However, he also knew that letting Yi Jianlian be independent and independent was gradual, so he didn't let go of all of his hands at once.

Yi Jianlian thought for a while after listening, and then nodded.

Choosing a school is not a one-time thing, Yi Jianlian pondered it himself.

Sun Hao also started his post-World Championship plans.

He spent a few days with his parents in Dallas before heading to Germany to train with Nowitzki.

Because the NBA teams are about to open training camps in early October, the time in between is actually quite tight.

Yao Ming was going to Washington for personal training, but when he heard that Sun Hao was going to Germany, he also said that he wanted to go together.

Training this kind of thing is only effective if there are more people.

Sun Hao asked Holger what he meant, but he didn't expect Holger to welcome Yao Ming to come with him.

It's actually easy to understand.

Yao Ming's ability to respond is much stronger than the current Nowitzki.

There was a big man role model who came to the training camp and he couldn't ask for it.

After staying in the United States for two days, Sun Hao got on a plane to Germany with Yao Ming and Bell.

This time, Sun Hao had experience, and after getting off the plane, he rented an RV and drove all the way to Starnberg.

The tiring journey still gave Yao Ming and Bell the idea of Sun Hao when he first came.

In such a secluded place, those who don't know think they're doing some kind of secret experiment.

However, this is also their secret training base, isolated from all external interference.

And at the entrance of the arena, he found that there was also a sign hanging there, on which were written a few words in English.

Translated into Chinese, it roughly means "evolution hut".

As the name suggests, this is the place to boost your strength.

It's simple and straightforward.

When I got to the training hall and asked, I realized that this was what Nowitzki meant.

It seems that they did not come, and Nowitzki was idle.

Nowitzki was very excited about Yao Ming's arrival, and when Yao Ming had just finished taking off his clothes, he pulled him naked to fight.

Sun Hao and Bell sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them go head-to-head on the court.

I have to say that Yao Ming is really suitable for one-on-one training with Nowitzki.

One of them is good at attacking and the other is good at defending.

But the defense of the one who is good at attacking is very problematic, and the one who is good at defending also has to polish his offensive methods.

And their offense and defense are different from that kind of muscular male collision, they are completely competing in technology, which is dazzling to watch.

Looking at Yao Ming's excited expression after the fight, he came to the right training camp.

Of course, whether it is Yao Ming and Nowitzki, or Sun Hao and Bale, this kind of one-on-one training is not the main content of this training camp.

As Holger has said before, the main purpose of this time is to train passes.

There are many ways to pass the ball, such as two face-to-face passing training, pentagonal passing training, and so on.

But Holger's way of training is still very special.

For example, passing a ball against a wall, turning 360° on the spot after the ball is shot, and catching the ball that bounces off the wall.

In this process, the ball must also hit the specified point.

For example, when two people pass the ball face to face, instead of standing, ask the receiving side to jump up, and then pass the ball back to the serving side while receiving the ball in the air.

Just like nowitzki was asked to spin around in place before shooting, Holger is a complete "training genius".

However, with his previous experience, Sun Hao knew that Holger's special training methods would work in the end.

In addition to these trainings, one of the exercises that Holger also attaches great importance to is Nowitzki and Sun Hao's blocking and passing training.

In his words, passing is the main reason that limits the power of Sun Hao and Nowitzki's pick-and-roll.

That's true.

In the season when Sun Hao was still a rookie, he and Nowitzki's blocking and pick-and-roll began to play a role.

But last season didn't improve much on lethality compared to before, and the passing did have a big impact.

Because a lot of times it's just a split-second opportunity, you pass a little bit low, or a little bit slower, and the opportunity is gone.

This kind of training of the two has made rapid progress.

Nowitzki's words, from the beginning of his exposure to basketball, Holger has laid the foundation for him in this area.

According to Holger's understanding, in basketball training, tactics and power are completely a waste of time, and shooting, passing and ball control are the key.

So Nowitzki got his hands on it quickly.

As for Sun Hao, his basketball IQ is there, and what he lacks is only targeted training.

Moreover, both of them worked hard, and after the training, they practiced together in private.

The defeat in the Western Conference last season has been spurring them on, and they want to win back!

Time flies by in training.

A week later, the duo's pick-and-roll passes looked like they were looking good.

This improvement also made Holger happy, and he thought that they would not have enough time this summer because of the World Championships.

It was at this time that Sun Hao received a call from Yi Jianlian.

"I've made my choice, I'm going to UConn.." (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
