Battle and Lu Fei are not familiar with each other, but they know that Lu Fei is this year's top show, but as soon as Lu Fei entered the court, Battle still took the lead in greeting Lu Fei, and there was no big brother at all.

But Lu Fei and Battle are familiar with each other, Lu Fei was an assistant coach of the Spurs in the past, and Battle played for the San Antonio Spurs in the 02-03 season, and won the championship ring with the team, becoming the first Chinese player to win the NBA championship.

In San Antonio, Battle rarely met his fellow countrymen, and he knew Lu Fei the most.

Well, Lu Fei in the previous life.

But there is no way, no matter how familiar it is, the Spurs still don't have much playing time for Battle, but it is not as long as the playing time they get with the Nuggets.

Lu Fei looked at Battle's angular face, exactly the same as in his memory.

"Okay, I'll go warm up now, and I'll play with you later." Lu Fei smiled unreservedly.

Battle also smiled, he could tell that Lu Fei was a good person.

After changing his clothes and warming up, Lu Fei joined the training organized by Battle, and it happened that the coach had not yet come at this time, but several players were training with each other.

I have to say that the players at this time are still very conscious and hardworking.

Yao Ming, Guo Shiqiang, Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, Li Ke are in the first team, these players are basically in the most capable age group around 23 or 24.

And Lu Fei, Battle, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, and Du Feng are five people in a team, and these five people are Yao Ming's substitute, Liu Wei is Guo Shiqiang's substitute, and Lu Fei and Zhu Fangyu are too young with a 19 and a 20, Du Feng is on par with Li Ke.

It's basically a sparring between the team's main lineup and the substitute lineup.

Fan Bin and Jiao Jian blow the referee.

Fan Bin wears glasses and is not tall, only 1.78 meters, speaking of Fan Bin is actually a bit of a stiff player.

In the 96 Atlanta Olympics, Fan Bin was 26 years old and was in the year of playing, but the coach at the time, Gong Luming, did not choose him to enter the national team, and even Adijiang did not choose, but brought Li Xiaoyong and Wu Qinglong.

In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Jiang Xingquan served as the head coach, and this time he retained three organizational defenders, but in the end he did not bring Fan Bin, but chose Li Qun, who was very close to his physical condition.

Maybe it was because he felt guilty for not bringing Fan Bin three years ago, but this year, although Fan Bin is 33 years old, Jiang Xingquan still chose to take him to the Asian Championships.

and served as the captain of the men's basketball team.

His eyes kept on Lu Fei, and he wanted to know if this young man who could replace the Tiger King Sun Jun was really as powerful as the media said.

Lu Fei's quota was actually set for Gong Songlin before, but Gong Songlin was injured, if there was no Lu Fei, Jiang Xingquan would have summoned the Tiger King Sun Jun in.

But after seeing Lu Fei, Jiang Xingquan's heart was like a cat scratched.

In the end, the Basketball Association compromised after Lu Fei was selected by the NBA, which made Jiang Xingquan excited for a night, and finally had a decent scoring guard in his hand.

I don't know when, Jiang Xingquan also walked into the stadium.

After Liu Wei passed half time, he hoisted the ball to Battle, who definitely couldn't beat Yao Ming, and he just pretended to press two steps inside.

At this time, Li Nan, who was chasing behind Zhu Fangyu, suddenly found that Lu Fei was blocking the way.

Zhang Jinsong hurriedly gave up Lu Fei and kept up with Zhu Fangyu, he remembered the three points of this young player when he was training, and his shooting accuracy was like rain.

But he didn't communicate well with Li Nan, and Li Nan also chased Zhu Fangyu.

At this time, Lu Fei was left alone in the bottom corner.

Battle directly stuffed the ball over, Lu Fei didn't have time to sigh that Battle's passing awareness was so good, and he comfortably got the ball and raised his hand to throw the ball into the basket with a three-point point.

The game was actually still blowing by Jiao Jian, Fan Bin was just watching from the midfield position, and after seeing Lu Fei shoot the goal, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"How? Is this kid okay? Jiang Xingquan stood next to him and smiled.

Although Fan Bin has a very bad temper, the most convincing person is Jiang Xingquan.

He truthfully said what he thought in his heart: "It's good, the timing of the cover is very good, that position happens to be within Battle's field of vision, from receiving the ball to shooting without the slightest hesitation, is an excellent No. 2 position." ”

Jiang Xingquan shook his head and did not refute.

What he prefers is the overall situation of Lu Fei's passing, compared with the current several organizational defenders in the team, Fan Bin, Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang, and the three of them are not as good as Lu Fei.

It's just that Lu Fei just came, and he filled the vacancy of Gong Songlin, plus he played a scoring guard in college, so he could only let Lu Fei play the second position.

However, in the Asian Championships, it is just a casual fight, and there is no need to be so serious.

Jiang Xingquan is thinking about next year's Athens Olympics, if Lu Fei plays the No. 1 position, it will be a cool thing to be his coach.

But......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, according to the plan of the basketball center, he might invite a foreigner.

Guo Shiqiang handed the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming hit it with his back hook, Battle's strength is quite strong, but his height is really a little worse in front of Yao Ming.

Liu Wei took the ball across the half court, and Du Feng stepped forward to block and dismantle him, but after the dismantling, Guo Shiqiang bypassed it in time and did not give Liu Wei a chance to break through.

There was no way, Liu Wei could only pass the ball out, and it was Lu Fei who received the ball.

After receiving the ball, Lu Fei glanced at the defensive formation and did not pass the ball directly to Battle, he knew that even if he passed it, it would not have much effect.

dribbled under the crotch two times in a row, and suddenly changed direction, and the speed made Zhang Jinsong, who was defending, obviously run in the wrong direction.

And Lu Fei broke through but suddenly changed direction again, choosing an offensive route that went straight to the basket.

Originally, there was Zhang Jinsong's blocking, and this offensive route did not exist, but after Lu Fei shook him, the second change of direction was equivalent to coming to the back of the position where Zhang Jinsong was standing before.

At this time, Zhang Jinsong was stuck behind him.

"How did he find out about that line of attack?" Fan Bin asked suspiciously.

Jiang Xingquan frowned slightly, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of a sentence often said in basketball: "Penetrate the defender." ”

This sentence is often used in the choice of passing routes, but Lu Fei is used in the selection of breakthrough routes at this time.

Lu Fei accelerated.

He rushed into the inside, one step, two steps.

Yao Ming could only step forward to make up for the defense.

The basketball in Lu Fei's hand disappeared, and the next second it appeared in Battle's hand, who jumped up two centimeters on the spot and smashed the basketball into the basket.

"It's beautiful!" Battle yelled.

Jiang Xingquan stood on the sidelines, and he was also thrilled by this dunk dunk.

"No wonder Hu Weidong tried his best to recommend Lu Fei like me, it turned out that he was really as powerful as in the game video...... No, it seems that he is more powerful now than in the video......"

If Lu Fei heard this, he would definitely tell him - do you think the money for hiring a trainer was spent in vain?

After a training match, Lu Fei quickly gained the trust of his teammates.

Time flies.

More than two months of internal training for the men's basketball team passed in a flash.

September 23, Harbin.

The Chinese men's basketball team was assigned to Group C, and welcomed the first opponent of the Asian Championships - Syria that night.

Lu Fei played 27 minutes as the starting point guard and scored 17 points and 19 assists, while the team's starting playmaker Guo Shiqiang only had 8 assists.

The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Syria with a big score of 103:37.

Yao Ming was interviewed by reporters after the game and commented on Lu Fei's debut: "We have been training together for more than two months, I know how good Lu Fei is, today I think he is playing very seriously, because we respect the opponent, I just want to say that playing with Lu Fei is really easy, but when I think of the opponent I will face next NBA season, I think Francis may have a headache than me." ”

On September 24, the Chinese men's basketball team faced Chinese Taipei.

Lu Fei didn't give face to the "MVP lover", Yan Xingshu was directly beaten by him in two quarters, with a full-time score of 121:30, the former Yan Xingshu sent 33 assists in 7 games in the Asian Championships and became the assist king, but Lu Fei scored 34 assists in just two games.

Jiang Xingquan sighed helplessly: "I thought Lu Fei was here to play point guard, but he changed his career." ”

I really don't blame Lu Fei, the opponent's defense is full of holes, he can't raise his desire to score, and a casual pass is an assist.

On September 25, Iran did not have Haddadi at this time, but it was not weak in Asia.

It's just a pity that I ran into this Chinese men's basketball team.

In this game, Lu Fei played little and was pitiful, basically he was directly rested by Jiang Xingquan, Jiang Xingquan knew that Iran was a little dirty to play, and Lu Fei also played two games in two consecutive days, he wanted Lu Fei to rest, and secondly, he didn't want Lu Fei to be injured, and Yao Ming had less playing time like him.

Because the group has already confirmed qualification, this game does not matter.

In the end, 93:69, the Chinese men's basketball team qualified with a winning record and entered the next round of Group I group round-robin.

In the first game of the round-robin against India, Lu Fei's assist was not double-doubled, but Yao Ming's assist was double-doubled, because Zhu Fangyu's hand exploded in this game.

Three points, six shots and six hits, all of which were passed by Yao Ming, and Lu Fei gave them cover.

Jiang Xingquan even saw the shadow of a top small forward in Zhu Fangyu.

Lu Fei played casually for more than ten minutes, and then went off the court to rest amid the screams of a group of female fans, and a starting scoring guard did not play as a substitute for a long time, which was really enough.

On September 27, Jiang Xingquan rarely let Lu Fei and Yao Ming play for a long time in this game, because the opponent was Lebanon.

The Lebanese men's basketball team is an international mercenary force, with most of the team's members recruited from abroad, and in 2001 they were runners-up.

Some people say that this is not a cheating, isn't it?

In fact, this is the norm in international basketball, as long as it meets the regulations, who cares where your players come from, only China has always insisted on using local players, which is one of the few national teams in the international arena that does not have naturalized players.

Even the U.S. team recruited Olajuwon!

Lu Fei also rarely played very seriously, did not rob the work of organizing the guard, concentrated on playing the scoring guard, and did a good job of firepower output.

120:63

The Chinese men's basketball team won, and Lu Fei scored a game-high 31 points in silence.

Yao Ming 29 points.

The two of them scored half of the team's scores.

On the evening of September 28, at half past seven, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the last opponent of the round-robin match.

A team that made Yao Ming say before the game: "No one can lose to it" - the Japanese men's basketball team!
