Daniel Zhang and Guo Qiang met each other at the breakfast shop outside the training hall, and the two walked towards the training hall while chatting about the recent training plan.

Before I reached the door, I saw a group of reporters outside the door of the training hall, and they could only invite the reporters into the conference room.

Daniel Zhang sat on a stool in the conference room, looking at the small conference room crowded with reporters, and his brows furrowed inadvertently.

A male reporter stood up and asked: "May I ask Coach Zhang, did you ever intend to recruit Lu Fei, a Chinese player who plays in the NCAA, into the national youth team, but was blocked by Fang Mingyuan of the basketball management center?" ”

Daniel Zhang and Guo Qiang glanced at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, you must know that only the five people in the private room that day knew about this at that time, Lu Fei and Father Chen are not familiar with the media abroad and at home, it is impossible to disclose the news, then there is only one possibility, that is, Chen Qiao.

Daniel Zhang's serious face could not see any expression, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Where did you hear this news?" ”

He didn't deny or affirm.

The reporter hurriedly said: "We as reporters naturally have our own sources, and now even the guidance of Su Qun of "Sports Weekly" has temporarily adjusted the layout, adding some objective evaluations of Lu Fei as a player, and explaining from all aspects that Lu Fei is not as Fang Mingyuan said The level is not enough, so what is the reason why Lu Fei cannot join the national youth? ”

"Sports Weekly??" Daniel Zhang was stunned, "The latest issue?" Can you show me? ”

The reporter pulled out a magazine from his bag.

It is the "Sports Weekly" with the largest circulation at the moment, but "Sports Weekly", as an enterprise under the Xiangnan Provincial Sports Commission, should not dare to report such an article?

This is exactly where Daniel Zhang is puzzled.

It wasn't until he opened this issue of "Sports Weekly" and read it carefully that he suddenly opened it.

"On March 27, Houston lost the game, and Yao Ming also lost the data, but in this basketball country across the ocean, another Chinese, the No. 10 player of the University of Washington Huskies, Lu Fei, scored 51 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds in the NCAA Sweet Round of 16."

"Lu Fei averaged close to 30 points per game this season, you can make a horizontal comparison, and the best statistic of Allen Iverson, who also belongs to the guard position, during his time at Georgetown University is only 25 points per game."

"At the same time, don't ignore the fact that compared with Allen Iverson's college average of 4.7 assists per game, Lu Fei still averages 8.3 assists per game."

What does this mean? It means that in terms of organizing passes, Lu Fei also has outstanding talent! Compared with defense and scoring, organizational skills are more metaphysical, and defense can rely on height and arm span and active fighting; Scoring can be hard to shoot and break through the confrontation, but the passing organization relies more on the player's natural intuition, awareness, and imagination, which is also the attraction of Stockton, Magic Johnson and even the white chocolate Williams, who have been fanatically pursued by fans in the past two years. They may not have the physicality and the ability to score like a top star, but the ability to channel the offense and the imagination of passing through the defense is pleasing to the eye from another angle – making the game easier is not an easy task. ”

"So when we focus on Lu Fei's super scoring ability, don't forget that he also has a passing hand that makes the game easy."

"And we can see that due to Lu Fei's firepower coverage within half of the court, the opponent has to start attacking him near the three-point line, so that the pass that can penetrate the opponent's defense is even more important, his pass is like a scalpel, cutting through the opponent's defense, plus a shooter like Roy, only Anthony Washington needs to do a good job of positioning and covering, it will be a wonderful cooperation."

At the end of the article, Su Qun summed it up in one sentence: "This level is really not suitable for playing the national youth team." ”

There is no mention of the basketball management center in the whole text, and it does not even mention any topics related to the national youth game, but it is simply analyzing Lu Fei's personal ability, explosive scoring ability, and sharp assist ability, and only slightly mentions at the end of the article that "the level is not suitable for playing the national youth".

Is it not enough?

Obviously not, a discerning person can see at a glance that he is satirizing the level of the national youth competition.

In particular, the comparison between Lu Fei's data and Alan Iverson's university data gives people a clear understanding of Lu Fei's strength.

Although there is not a single sentence in the whole text mentioning the basketball center, there is no sentence that is not slapping Fang Mingyuan in the face.

"Sports Weekly" is the newspaper with the largest circulation in China, and his article must be the most professional evaluation in the industry, and the reason why Su Qun rushed to produce this article overnight is because of the email he received, and every familiar name copied on the back of the email, those names are acquaintances in the industry.

He knew that the news would definitely break out, but as a newspaper under the Sports Commission, it must not be a sports weekly newspaper.

And now there is a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Even if the sports committee blames him, he has reason to retort, "I just reported a set of data." ”

Daniel Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly after reading it.

He thought for a while, knowing that the reporter must have gotten the news from Chen Qiao, and said with a smile: "Su Qun's guidance article is well written, but I don't think I can answer the question you just asked." ”

Why can't you answer that? Is it really what we said, Lu Fei was obstructed by Fang Mingyuan of the basketball management center so that he couldn't join the national youth? The reporter asked repeatedly.

Daniel Zhang Jun was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I am still in the position of head coach, and my responsibility is to lead the team, as for the selection of players...... I can only say that what Su Qun said is right, Lu Fei may indeed not be suitable for the national youth team. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the small media first broke the news that Fang Mingyuan blocked Lu Fei's entry into the national youth and stuffed the players with a relationship for the sake of newspaper circulation, and then this news spread in the domestic basketball news like a spark.

Fans didn't believe it at first, and their trust in the media has not been very high in the past two years.

Last year, they had just been fooled by the media and scolded Wang Zhizhi, and all kinds of traitorous hats were mercilessly buckled on Wang Zhizhi's head.

In hindsight, it was just a matter of playing ball.

Now it's flickering again, flickering us to scold the basket, what kind of rhythm is this?

After Lu Fei's game video was put on the domestic Internet by the fans who climbed over the wall that day, everyone saw Lu Fei's explosive performance and scolded one after another.

It's not enough at this level, can you find one in all of the fucking China?

can be scolded and scolded, everyone at most means that the men's basketball team has no eyes to choose people, although it is also said loudly like the truth, what is said must be shady, but the reason why shady is called shady is because the black makes you invisible.

Well, now all basketball fans in China know that this is not called shady, this is called dirty.

Verbal criticism and writing came overnight.
