From July 2nd to July 8th, the 7-day 5-station publicity campaign made the ancestral goose half dead, but he found that Sun Ce didn't seem to be tired no matter what, and he went to the hotel's gym to practice for two hours after the publicity campaign every day.

Originally, Zu Ge heard that Sun Ce instructed the team to have a hotel with an independent gym, and thought that Sun Ce wanted a high-end hotel, because hotels that can have an independent gym are basically high-end hotels.

Now I know that Sun Ce is rushing to be able to charter the gym!

Finally, he returned to Zu Ge's home in Tianjin, and as before, Zu Ge gave up the room to Sun Ce and slept on the sofa by himself.

Not because of anything else, although the bed is a little smaller for Sun Ce, it is a normal 1.5-meter-wide bed, and Sun Ce really can't sleep on the sofa.

After resting for two days, I went to listen to cross talk, watched dramas, and the leisure time always passed quickly, and on August 11th, Zu Ge accompanied her mother to travel, and Sun Ce came to Beijing, first went to the basketball management center to report on the return of the team, and then went to the designated venue in Qingdao to meet the new national team teammates.

Sun Ce remembered that there was no Yao Ming in this World Cup, and he didn't even pass the qualifiers, as for why he couldn't play the World Cup in the qualifiers, because he didn't get the first place in Asia, let alone the first, he didn't make it to the top four in the original time and space.

If it weren't for Yi Jianlian, who developed three points, he was pulled out to shoot three points when he was blocked under the basket in the game with Wanwan, and scored 9 three-pointers in a single game to break the record of the Basketball Asian Championship to help the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly beat Wanwan, almost not in the top three, but in the top three, it was only third, and he was beaten in the semifinals.

But the third can't enter the World Cup, although there is the champion of the last World Championships, but there are still only 2.5 places in Asia, and the third place needs to be fought for, but the Asian region lost the qualifying tournament all the way from beginning to end, and this time Yi Jianlian was not sent to participate, which is even more miserable.

The older generation of players who have not retired are also old, as long as Zhu Fangyu can play, young players are not used.

Fortunately, their Chinese team is the defending champion, and there is a fixed place without fighting.

However, Sun Ce felt that the Chinese men's basketball team did a little bit well in last year's Asian Championships, and all the young and talented factions were sent out, so that they could feel what the gap was, and let them feel the gap with the older generation without asking them to understand the gap between them and the European and American teams.

Not to mention Yi Jianlian, the aging Wang Zhizhi plays better than all other young insiders.

This is very embarrassing, but the Chinese men's basketball team has really reached the time of not breaking or standing, otherwise even if there is him and Yi Jianlian, it will not go long in the international arena, and the German team has Nowitzki and Kaman, the twin towers who were selected as NBA All-Stars, and a bunch of excellent players in the Bundesliga, but they can't get out of the group stage.

It's not that Sun Ce thinks how bad CBA players are, but that no matter how arrogant he is, he won't feel that the overall level of the CBA league is as high as that of the Bundesliga.

When it was time for the training camp, Sun Ce met Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's first words were: "Little Overlord, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Sun Ce didn't understand it at first, but then he understood.

This time, even Wang Shipeng and Wang Zhizhi did not participate in the first Basketball World Cup, although Wang Zhizhi is still playing in Bayi, but has decided to retire after the new season, this time in the national team as an assistant coach.

Other players, if you don't have basic skills, you have to have a body without a body...... However, there should be a hand in fighting, and basketball in the Liangguang region is still very good compared to the rest of the country, and nearly half of the members of the national team come from these places.

After Sun Ce met his new national team teammates, the first thing he did was not to say hello to each other, but to introduce themselves to a group of people to sign autographs.

Then after a joint practice, when Sun Ce squeezed away the 18-year-old inside player Zhou Qi by himself, Wang Shipeng, who was punishing this joint practice, felt that there was no need to practice.

Obviously, Sun Ce's state is online, and after the season, Sun Ce said that he was going to go to Jordan to learn skills, and the national team agreed.

As for the ...... This World Cup is very simple, give the ball to Sun Ce or Yi Jianlian, and the others will pull away to catch the ball, throw it in, and pull it down if you can't throw it.

As Wang Zhizhi, who has seen the golden age of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 90s and the golden age of Sun Yaoyi, he never dreamed that one day the national team would be so weak, and it would be better for him to wear the jersey himself.

But after discussing with Yao Ming, the new head coach Gong Luming decided to let young players meet the world, and Wang Zhizhi also supported it, because the current domestic players are too much like frogs at the bottom of the well.

However, Sun Ce, his own person, can't be allowed to lose confidence in beating his teammates, no.

And Sun Ce's side, after only a few rounds of joint training, he was very curious to go to Wang Zhizhi to ask for Zhou Qi's information, this is the talented center of the Liaoning team in the past few years, signed a contract with the Xinjiang team in January this year, and has not played CBA, purely because of his height of 217 cm and his very good mobility ability at the same height, he was selected to participate in the World Cup.

Then it was gone, there was no too much information, and what Sun Ce was curious about was not in these materials, but in weight......

79 kg!

217 cm height, 229 cm arm span, 291 cm touch height, these data, in addition to height, others are better than Yao Ming, static physical fitness talent is indeed high, and running and jumping ability, speed is not as good as Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's running and jumping ability is not comparable to any inside, but the vertical bounce reaches 80 cm, which is 3 cm higher than Yi Jianlian's draft physical test.

But the weight ...... Ren Yi Jianlian has entered the NBA for more than 100 kilograms, and Zhou Qi is 79 kilograms!

When Sun Ce saw a group of players he didn't know much about the national team before, he felt that Yao Ming said to be mentally prepared, but now he knows what it means.

Thinking about the Chinese men's basketball team back then, it was really every player who could call out their names, but the current members of the Chinese men's basketball team, except for Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, others didn't even want to ask Sun Ce, a teammate, what their names were.

Sun Ce feels that some of these people may be very good, but as a basketball player, it is estimated that this is the advantage.

After chatting with Yao Ming, Sun Ce changed his previous plan, and still practiced his own, what should he practice, strengthen the hook shot on the right side of the baseline, consolidate the right side of the three-second zone, strengthen the three-point angle from 45 degrees to 30 degrees on the right side, the consolidation of shooting in other positions, and the most important point - strengthen the free throw.

In order to help Sun Ce practice three-point shooting and free throws, Yao Ming specially helped Sun Ce arrange an NBA-standard court.

Unlike renting a stadium for training, Sun Ce's training this time was often watched by his teammates.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming don't know how many young players can feel what real hard work is because of this approach, but it's better to do it than not to do it.

……

Time flew by, and on August 19, Sun Ce went to Madrid, Spain with the national team and began to prepare for the game.

Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Bilbao, Granada, Las Palmas, six cities and six stadiums, Sun Ce followed the national team to experience it.

In the group draw in April, the Chinese team was placed in Group D, and the grouping was very simple, Spain Group A, Greece Group B, the United States Group C, and China Group D, deliberately put the four seeded teams in the four groups to avoid the four favorite teams meeting in advance.

Soon it was August 29th, after the opening ceremony, and on August 30th, the Chinese team played its first match against the South Korean team at the Bilbao Forest Park Arena.

131-60, Sun Ce easily scored 44 points, 17 boards, 4 assists and 8 blocks, Yi Jianlian scored 25 points and 11 boards, and the two led the team to win this easy game.

But on August 31, the Chinese team met the Lithuanian team and lost 71-77.

On September 1, they met Slovenia and lost 97-106.

Finally on September 3rd, the Chinese team broke out a game, playing Australia, which permanently lost Bogut, the Chinese team narrowly won 103-101, this time Yi Jianlian got 29 points, 17 boards, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and Sun Ce got 25 points, 7 boards, 11 assists and 5 blocks.

Dante Exum, who was touted as Australia's Kobe before the draft, was shorter than Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian by 5 times, and became a hat ATM for the two.

On September 5th, it was easy to play Mexico, 98-83, and the Chinese team easily won the victory.

In the group stage, Sun Ce scored at least 20 points in all 5 games, including two 40+, played an average of 31 minutes per game, scored 31.6 points, 14.4 boards, 6.7 assists, 5.2 blocks and 2.4 steals, and the shooting rate was not good, 42 percent, with an average of 11 of 26 shots per game, but the players with more than 10 shots in the team are Yi Jianlian's shooting rate is higher than him; Yi Jianlian scored 18 points 4 times, 20 + 1 time, and averaged 22.2 points, 10.4 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.4 steals per game.

Sun Ce just followed what Gong Luming said, just take the ball and play it yourself, and it is true that he can get a record of 3 wins and 2 losses in the group stage and advance as the third in the group, relying on Sun Ce's 30+10+5+5 performance and Yi Jianlian's 20+10 performance.

……

With 3 wins and 2 losses, the Chinese men's basketball team advanced to the round of 16 as the third in Group D.

Looking at the performance of Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian, they thought that the Chinese team had won all 5 games, but looking at the performance of other players in the Chinese team except Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian...... It seems that after Yao Ming's group retired, the Chinese men's basketball team was very easy to bully!

On September 6th, as the defending champion, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Turkish men's basketball team launched a defensive battle, in which Sun Ce scored 24 points, 16 boards, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, and Yi Jianlian scored 18 points, 15 boards and 3 blocks, leading the team to defeat the Turkish team 71-65 and advance to the top 8.

But in the quarterfinals, they met the Serbian men's basketball team...... I thought that the Serbian men's basketball team was easy to bully, and they only finished fourth in Group A with 2 wins and 3 losses in the group stage.

However, the Chinese team suffered a 64-89 defeat...... Stop at the quarterfinals.

In the end, in the ranking match on September 7, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Brazilian team, and the final ranking was fixed at eighth in the west.

Sun Ce is not without gains, 8 games, averaging 30.4 points, 14 boards, 6.3 assists, 5 blocks and 2.3 steals per game, won the scoring king, rebounding king, and block king of this World Championships.

And the teams that won the data king failed to make it to the top four.

When he got to the back, when he saw the Serbian team that defeated the Spanish team and the Greek team 90-68 in the semifinals, the Lithuanian team pressed on the ground and rubbed it, Sun Ce found that the other party was really powerful!

But in the final, Serbia was easily defeated by the United States, losing by more than 30 points 91-126.

In the end, Irving won the MVP of this World Championship.

……

The national team career has come to an end, and Sun Ce really didn't expect his teammates to be able to get to this point, if it weren't for him and Yi Jianlian just inside and outside, ensuring that the national team has the ability to be among the top ten in the world, it would be really difficult to reach the quarterfinals.

But the quarterfinals are also over.

Sun Ce was also mentally prepared before, but he was still not very happy when he really encountered such a situation.

But he understands better that glory will always pass, and he and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng, and Zhu Fangyu...... That golden age suddenly appeared in 10 and 12 years, but it also came to an abrupt end at the peak because of the age of many teammates.

Sun Ce could only comfort himself: Wait, be patient, wait for 20 years, and when my grandson's sons grow up, Lao Tzu will take them to fight the world!

……

……

Fortunately, he was ready to lose, Sun Ce originally thought that entering the knockout round would be over, but he also entered the quarterfinals, and he was a little unwilling at the time, but he didn't care too much about it afterwards.

In the next few World Series, it is estimated that he will accompany that group of prince-type players to practice.

In fact, the national team also has players who work very hard, like Han Shuo of the Bayi team, but they are not talented enough.

seems to be talented enough, but it seems that they just regard basketball as a very lucrative job, such as Zhou Qi.

Sun Ce learned from Zhu Fangyu's big mouth that Zhou Qi played basketball because his parents said that he didn't need to study to make money by playing basketball......

Sun Ce pinned his hopes for the national team on Yao Ming, hoping that he could do something, and if there was anything he needed to help, he would try his best to help.

Of course, first of all, Yao Ming must be elected to the Blue Association next year, this Sun Ce thinks that the problem is not big, it depends on the next operation.

On September 11, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with Zu Geese, who had traveled with his mother for a month.

……

After returning home and resting for three days, on September 15th, Sun Ce came to the arena, this year's team assembly time is September 17th, and the NBA announced that the start time of the training camp is September 21st, 10 days earlier than before, and the time has been extended from the previous 7 days to 14 days!

The preseason will be shortened to five games from October 5, and the regular season will start on October 14-16, with teams playing their openers.

Since the league's revenue may have been growing in recent years because of Sun Ce, and the salary cap will skyrocket by 25 million in the summer of 2016, the teams unanimously approved the proposal to extend the season forward!

Playing basketball is a happy thing, for example, when students go to the playground to play basketball after school, they must go for fun, if playing basketball is an unhappy thing, no one will want to do it.

Looking at the current national team, compared with the previous national teams, Sun Ce feels bad.

But seeing the lineup of the club, Sun Ce was full of excitement!
