Chapter 406: The Unenvisioned Path, the Strongest Men's Basketball Team in History? (Ask for a monthly pass, subscription!) First update! )
(Chapter 405: Many people reacted and didn't brush it out...... But I can see it here, guys, try it again? )
On August 25, after nearly half a month of running-in in Sydney, the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhang Bin, officially announced the 12-member roster of the Chinese men's basketball team to participate in the Sydney Olympics.
The 12-man Chinese men's basketball team is as follows:
Center: Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Pathl.
Power forwards: Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin.
Small forwards: Su Feng, Zhang Jinsong.
Shooting guards: Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, Zheng Wu.
Point guards: Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang.
I have to say that the men's basketball team in the "Golden Generation" period has a thick foundation.
Because even men's basketball legends like Sun Jun and Zheng Wu are in the current national team......
can only give Lao Hu a hand.
Among all the teams participating in the Olympics this year, the Chinese men's basketball team has the largest number of NBA players and the highest quality after the United States.
So, in the words of the rabbits, we haven't fought such a rich battle in our eight lives!
However, in Su Feng's opinion, this men's basketball team is still lacking in the power forward position.
Because Gong Xiaobin and Liu Yudong are not absolutely high enough in the international arena, after brainwashing the men's basketball coach Zhang Bin, Su Feng appeared in the position of big forward in the friendly matches with Russia and Argentina most of the time.
So now the damn question is again.
If Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin's height is not enough, then is Su Feng's height enough?
The answer is that Su Feng, who is actually 198 cm tall and 201 cm tall in shoes, is paired with his exaggerated arm span......
His size on defense makes him more than capable of playing the power forward position in FIBA.
Moreover, in this way, Su Feng's original substitute Zhang Jinsong can be mentioned as the starter by Zhang Bin.
You know, as a mature team builder, if you're only going to pile up offensive players in the roster, your team will definitely not go far.
Zhang Jinsong, nicknamed "Desperate Saburo", his value of existence is not to open up territory for the Chinese men's basketball team on the court.
Rather, at critical moments, he can kill the enemy's outside players in a way that does not hesitate to die.
And in this way, Su Feng can still pull out the opponent's big forward on the offensive end, isn't it happy?
Facts have proved that even if he didn't want to take the road of big forward back then, Su Feng finally walked on.
So the introduce......
The essence is to slap yourself in the face and blame yourself.
It is worth mentioning that this time when the men's basketball team was training in Sydney, Su Feng also pulled the 16-year-old Yi Jianlian to Sydney through the back door, and became a "trainee" on the side.
Outcome......
Compared with the "17" year-old Yi Jianlian who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in 2004, in Su Feng's view, this 16-year-old Yi Jianlian is what a real teenager should look like.
At this time, Yi Jianlian, who is only more than 2 meters tall, is like a big bamboo pole, usually, Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin are afraid of smashing this child, so when they are playing with him? are trying to retract as much as possible.
And for Yi Jianlian, whose heart has become Su Feng's appearance like Xiaoyao? He also cherished this hard-won opportunity.
After all, the UAE at this time? That is, a younger brother? If you see anyone, you have to call it brother.
According to the results of Su Feng's discussion with Yi Jianlian's parents, from the second half of this year? Yi Jianlian will officially start his study journey to the United States.
Originally, Su Feng was quite worried that Yi Jianlian would not be able to adapt to life in the United States for a while? But this time? After Xiao Yao was selected by Philadelphia, Su Feng didn't have to worry about this.
Because Yi Jianlian will be studying at Raul Melion High School......
So after Xiao Yao, who is also very young at this time, learned that he was about to have a companion in the United States in the second half of the year, the relationship between the two of them was so good that they only slept together.
"That...... Brother Feng, why do you teach me all the skills of outside players? ”
And this day? Since Su Feng has recently taught himself all the outside techniques that he has never been asked to spend hard work on? Yi Jianlian also plucked up his courage and asked Su Feng.
Hearing this, Su Feng said to Yi Jianlian after a long sigh: "That...... Xiao Yi, really, didn't I criticize you? But your dribble ......
Maybe the children in the United States are better than you. ”
Yi Jianlian: "......"
Su Feng's previous life, the ceiling limit of an Asian player? Yi Jianlian, who has strong muscles, is the most impressive in the NBA......
His stiff technical movements.
With overmuscleness? The same LeBron James whose movements are not beautiful enough, in Su Feng's opinion? When they were handling the ball? There are problems with stuck frames.
And? Not the same as your own card frame.
It's just because the technique hasn't been practiced at home, so it's not smooth enough to play combos.
And the stuck frame of these two people, that is, as soon as it is stuck, it will make you feel like the computer is dead.
The reason for this is, in fact, Yi Jianlian and James both have some of the same experiences.
The former is because there has never been such a genius in Chinese basketball, so when cultivating Yi Jianlian, there was only one template that could be used as a reference for him at that time.
The latter, because he didn't give up football until his junior year of high school, caused him to miss the most valuable time period for outside players to polish their basic skills.
After all, in the future, even if it is a 107-kilogram Kobe, its technical movements will only slow down at most and will not become stuck.
Therefore, since he has a fate with Yi Jianlian in this life, Su Feng is naturally looking forward to guiding him in a better direction.
In fact, what Su Feng wants Yi Jianlian to improve is not only his dribbling, passing and overall view.
More importantly, there is his defense.
In Su Feng's previous life, Yi Jianlian's traverse speed was also one of the reasons why he could not survive in the NBA.
And this is also a common problem for most CBA players.
That is, because the CBA game is not fast-paced, the coaches will naturally not be very demanding in the usual training.
After all, you don't usually need to move so fast, so why are you wasting that energy?
As for talent?
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team, which could even oppress the U.S. men's basketball team in stages, is the best proof of this.
Because of that Olympic Games, the men's basketball team fought at home, and Younas even almost drove a certain rich second generation crazy when he was training.
As a result, it also caused Yao Ming to say that classic quote to the rich second generation.
"If you don't want to fight, you can go (GUN)."
It can be seen that it is not impossible for Chinese players to develop faster lateral movements.
Especially a talented player like Yi Jianlian.
In this life, Su Feng doesn't want Yi Jianlian to just go through the NBA in the future.
What he hopes to see more is that Yi Jianlian, who can stand tall in the NBA in the post-Su Feng era and the post-Yao Ming era.
Therefore, in terms of training, Su Feng is more inclined to train Yi Jianlian into the No. 4 3D that will be needed by all teams in the future.
Of course, even if it is aimed at developing as a 3D player, in Su Feng's view, Yi Jianlian's back playing skills and dribbling skills must reach a higher level.
And this is also the relationship between Su Feng and Yi Jianlian to study in the United States.
Because although he stayed in China, Yi Jianlian was able to play in the CBA earlier, but in the United States, he was able to accept American basketball, which was more chaotic and required more for players' on-the-spot reactions.
And judging from Yi Jianlian's talent characteristics, he can gradually grow into the ideal form that Su Feng wants when he kills in this environment.
In a word......
The slogan of going to the Olympics to win a medal was shouted by itself.
Therefore, Su Feng had to pay off the debt even when he knelt.
And as Xiao Yao's eldest brother, how can Su Feng pat his ass and leave after leaving a mess for Xiao Yao, who is going to be the chairman, in the future?
"This kid's talent is too good, isn't it? Xiao Su, I feel that the next Olympics, I will be able to see this child's name in the national team. ”
On this day, looking at Yi Jianlian, who was training with the ball in singles under the one-on-one guidance of Su Feng's trainer, men's basketball coach Zhang Bin said to Su Feng.
Hearing this, Su Feng smiled and said to Zhang Bin: "Coach, your prediction will definitely come true." ”
……
In September, the preparation of the Chinese men's basketball team has reached the final stage.
On this day, because the Sydney Olympics will officially open on the 15th, the men's basketball team also received the task issued by the Chinese Olympic delegation to the men's basketball team.
That's ......
A player was selected from within the men's basketball team to serve as the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic delegation to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
In Su Feng's previous life, until the London Olympics, the flagbearers of the Chinese Olympic delegations were all tall men's basketball players.
And this is also the best award for the Chinese men's basketball team that has dominated Asia for a long time.
As for the Olympic qualifiers?
You may not believe it, but in the eyes of the older generation of players and fans of the men's basketball team, it is a spicy chicken project that only their next-door neighbors will play.
As far as Olympic qualification is concerned, isn't that a task as easy as eating and drinking with garlic in hand?
You must know that before the decline of the Chinese men's basketball team, the only one who created pressure on the men's basketball team on the Olympic flag bearer was Liu Xiang.
However......
Before the opening of the Athens Olympics in 04, after Liu Yudong proved that Yao Ming's international influence was higher at that time, and Yao Ming's height also symbolized the rapid rise of China, the Chinese track and field team, which suffered a cultural loss, finally failed to snatch the position of flag bearer from the men's basketball team.
Originally, the flag bearer of this Olympic Games should have been Liu Yudong......
But considering Su Feng's various origins with himself, before the start of this Olympic Games, Liu Yudong had already announced that he would not compete with Su Feng for the position of Olympic flag bearer.
In the eyes of the senior leaders of the Chinese Olympic delegation, letting Su Feng be the flag bearer of the Olympic Games is indeed what everyone expects.
It's a pity......
Su Feng himself didn't think so.
"No, no, no, in my opinion, Yao Ming is the most suitable person for this year's flag bearer!" At the internal meeting of the men's basketball team, Su Fengli said in a disagreeable manner.
And now, although Xiao Yao on the side has been saying no, his expression that can be used as an emoji has betrayed him.
I saw him say with an embarrassed face: "Brother Feng, you are the flag bearer, that is something that everyone is looking forward to, I can't spoil the interest of Chinese sports fans." ”
It's just that......
After Su Feng kept giving reasons why Yao Ming was more suitable to be a standard-bearer than him......
Everyone was soon fooled and lame by Su Feng.
"That's okay, anyway, as long as you can keep the qualification of the flag bearer in the men's basketball team, then anyone can do it." Chinese men's basketball coach Zhang Bin said after some careful consideration.
Although the senior management of the Chinese Olympic delegation has not yet figured out why the men's basketball team finally chose Yao Ming as the flag bearer......
However, as the NBA's new champion, Yao Ming seems to have nothing wrong with being the standard-bearer.
However......
How did the young Xiao Yao know that Su Feng would not only give up the position of flag bearer to him this year, but also give up the position of flag bearer to Yao Ming four years later.
As for the reason?
What are you kidding internationally......
Even if you are a flag bearer a hundred times, can you have a card as a flag bearer on your doorstep in 2008?
Su Feng knew very well that now that he had given up the flag bearer to Xiao Yao, in this life, he would not leave too many regrets for Xiao Yao.
Because at that time, Xiao Yao would also feel in his heart that the flag-bearer that time should be given to Su Feng.
It seems that Su Feng is losing money now, but after this wave of retreat, he has taken a bigger advantage.
……
On the 9th, before the start of the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team played the last warm-up game before the start of the Olympic Games with the United States men's basketball team in Sydney.
Because the two teams were placed in the same group at the Olympics, this game is also regarded by many fans as a foreplay for whether Chinese basketball can challenge the hegemony of American basketball.
It's just that even if this Dream Four team is not as starry as the previous three, but in fact, their overall strength is still one level higher than that of the Chinese men's basketball team.
As Su Feng remembers, this American Dream Four team is led by legendary coach Tom Janovic.
In addition, in the lineup, in addition to Kidd, Carter, Payton, Garnett, Ray Allen, they also have well-known stars such as Tim Hardaway, Mourning, Houston, Steve Smith, Wenbeck, Sharif Abdul Rahim and so on.
Therefore, the lineup of the Dream Four team is not enough to see, and it is only compared to their predecessors.
Looking at the world, this Dream Four team is still a unique existence.
Moreover, Tang Shuai is not a FIBA fool like Larry Brown.
This can be seen from Tang Shuai's personnel selection.
After Kobe Bryant rejected the call of the Dream Four team, Tang Shuai decisively recruited Houston from the Knicks, and he and Ray Allen formed the two heavy guns on the outside of the Dream Four team.
As a result, not only will the U.S. team be able to break down the opponent's defense with ease on the pitch, but their players who are good at breaking through will also be more dangerous when they break through.
In addition, Tang Shuai clearly took defense as the center of the battle as the main theme of this dream four team, so Carter had the opportunity to play that classic and eternal dunk through steals and counterattacks in the game against the French team.
Of course, the U.S. men's basketball team is not without its weaknesses.
And the weakness is precisely on the inside line that they once envied the whole world.
As we all know, at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, in order to show off their muscles to the world, the U.S. men's basketball team called up the three strongest centers in the NBA at that time, except for Ewing.
Coupled with Barkley and Malone, the 96-year-old Dream Three team, in terms of internal strength, is simply terrifying to the point of despair.
However, after 2000, this situation changed dramatically.
Although Garnett's presence allows the U.S. men's basketball team to frantically press the opponent through outward expansion defensively, in the actual game, once the opponent has a big center with enough tonnage, it will create a huge threat to the U.S. men's basketball team on the inside.
And in this warm-up game with the U.S. men's basketball team, Xiao Yao, Basel and Wang Zhizhi all played a good performance in the game, which is the best proof.
It's a pity that in the end, because only Su Feng still had the physical strength to play with the stars of the American team, the Chinese men's basketball team still lost to the American men's basketball team by 10 points.
But......
Compared with the previous game against the United States, which often lost a few points, in the eyes of Chinese fans, the Chinese men's basketball team has undergone a qualitative change in its overall strength.
And after this friendly match......
On 15 September, Australian female sprinters lit the Olympic flame at the Opening Ceremony......
The quadrennial Olympics have begun.
