Chapter 401: Big Names Gather in the Warm-up Match

(Promote the new book "NBA Kung Fu Ball King", I hope to support my new book, give some collection and recommendation votes, the two books will be updated simultaneously, thank you.) )

As early as the beginning of June, the Basketball Association announced the 14-member national team of the Chinese men's basketball team for the 2015 Asian Championships.

The list is almost identical to last year's Asian Games in Incheon, with only a few changes.

Four defenders: Cheng Jie, Liu Wei, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei.

Four forwards: Wang Meng, Li Gen, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng.

Four center: Hao Peng, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin.

This lineup was finalized by Wang Xiao personally, and it can be said that it is the strongest lineup that the Chinese men's basketball team can get its hands on at present.

Originally, according to the plan of the Basketball Association, at the beginning of May, the members of the national team who had finished playing the CBA should start the first round of warm-up training.

But Wang Xiao vetoed this plan and personally planned the warm-up match and training match.

And when he returned to China, he immediately started the warm-up game.

Originally, the Basketball Association was going to find some NBDL players to form a team to warm up with the Chinese men's basketball team, but the Basketball Association obviously did not have Wang Xiao to have face.

Wang Xiao directly invited NBA players to help the Chinese men's basketball team in warm-up training.

Invited to come, there are a small half of the Bucks, including the team's current pillars, Antetokounmpo, bitter Mamba Oladipo, Nikola. Jokic, as well as Middleton and others.

At the same time, Curry, George and others, who ended the Wizards' Finals schedule, were also invited.

As for Thompson and Leonard, because they were in the contract year, they did not come in order to avoid suspicion, but they also called Wang Xiao to apologize.

In addition, as Wang Xiao's most famous disciple, Jeremy Lin is naturally obliged.

Almost easily, Wang Xiao formed a quasi-all-star team, and Coach Dynasty's cards were fully revealed.

Of course, for these NBA players who sacrificed their holidays to help the game, Wang Xiao could not be a white prostitute without psychological burden.

The NBA stars of the NBA stars are not eye-catching with the sparring fee given by the Basketball Association, but Wang Xiao has other arrangements, after the warm-up game, the Basketball Association will help these players to carry out Huaxia activities one after another, on the one hand, they will get closer to the Chinese fans, on the other hand, they will also do more publicity, and by the way, they can also endorse some Huaxia products and make a small profit.

Overall, it's a win-win situation.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in China.

When did the Chinese men's basketball team have such a hand? Can you let the NBA All-Star team be a sparring partner, and the preparation is only for the Asian Championships? This is also an exaggeration!

Many people have begun to mourn for the opponents of the Chinese Men's Basketball Asian Championships, Wang Xiao is the only one who wants to sweep the Eight Desolations!

Originally, the Chinese men's basketball team is a top existence in Asia, even if it has declined in recent years, there is still no Asian team that dares to underestimate them.

Now it's okay, they don't have to underestimate it, just by looking at the group of sparring partners invited by the Chinese men's basketball team, they are only worthy of looking up.

……

The atmosphere of the warm-up game was very relaxed, whether it was the Chinese men's basketball team or the invited US NBA team.

However, Wang Xiao gathered the players of the NBA team together before the warm-up game between the two teams.

"Stephen, how are you recovering?"

Looking at Curry, Wang Xiao asked.

"Don't worry, coach, it's just an ordinary strain, it's fine in a week." Curry smiled, but the team's loss of the championship due to his injury still made Curry lose for a long time.

"That's good, pay attention to your body when you play for a while, don't get hurt."

These players were all invited by Wang Xiao, but if they were injured in the warm-up game, Wang Xiao still couldn't afford to take this responsibility.

"This game, although it is a warm-up training match, but for this game, I have a request."

Wang Xiao looked around at these top stars who can call the wind and rain in the NBA, and said very seriously: "I want you to go all out on the court, don't let go of water, and strive to play a maximum point difference, understand?" ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Jeremy Lin Curry and the others were stunned.

No way, Wang Xiao's words are too strange.

The purpose of the so-called warm-up game is not to train the players' skills and tactics, but more to build confidence and polish team morale.

Normally, even if the sparring partner has stronger strength, he will not show it easily, and will only use the same level as the opponent, which will further stimulate the opponent's fighting spirit and morale.

However, Wang Xiao is asking the sparring partners to use all methods to torture the trainers at this time, what kind of routine is this?

Although I don't know the reason, the people who are willing to come to Wang Xiao as a sparring partner are basically players who obey Wang Xiao's words, and they don't think much about it.

After the admonition, Wang Xiao did not say more, but stood on the sidelines and quietly watched the staff and assistant coaches continue to arrange and arrange the venue.

Wang Xiao did this, naturally he had his ideas.

The Asian Championships are not taken into his eyes at all, and the meaning of the existence of this competition is that after winning the championship, he can directly qualify for the Rio Olympics next year.

The current Chinese men's basketball team originally had the strength to sweep all opponents in Asia, even if it didn't conduct any special training.

But that's just in Asia.

Even with Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, and Hao Peng, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is still not the top in the world.

In other words, with the American Dream Team as a big mountain, the teams of all other countries can only be climbers.

Wang Xiao has not forgotten the task of the system, nor has he forgotten his reasons and goals for coaching the Chinese men's basketball team.

World Champion!

Whether it is an Olympic champion or a World Cup champion, if you can't get past the U.S. men's basketball team, it's absolutely impossible to do it!

And now, it's time for these rookies to realize what a terrifying group of monsters they need to face!

……

"Boom!"

Antetokounmpo hung on the basket like a monster, knocking Zhou Qi in front of him alive.

"Nice empty pass!"

Antetokounmpo, who let go of the basket and hit the ground, waved excitedly at Jeremy Lin, who was a little stunned as he recalled Antetokounmpo's actions just now.

It's too exaggerated, he actually rushed to the basket in two steps, he almost subconsciously threw the ball in the air, because it was too hasty, his pass was even a little high, and when Antetokounmpo received the basketball, the basketball was more than half a foot above the basket!

"Are all the players the coach looking for such monsters?"

Wang Xiao crossed his hands on his hips and looked at the situation on the field expressionlessly.

Although there was a certain amount of psychological preparation, the one-sided situation on the field still made Wang Xiao a little disappointed.

From the first minute of the game, the NBA side had an absolute advantage.

Under the leadership of Jeremy Lin and Curry's two top guards in the league, the NBA team caught the Chinese men's basketball team off guard at the beginning, with an 8-0 start!
