The next morning, when Li Yang entered the Sports Center of the Basketball Association, the people in the court stopped their movements and looked at him in unison, with curiosity, expectation, or envy in their eyes. qdian

Feeling so many eyes, Li Yang's heart tightened, and he sighed secretly, with a bad premonition in his heart, "Sure enough, I'm still not low-key enough, it seems that this national team trip can't be low-key!" ”

Then, under the introduction of Coach Li Nan, Li Yang met his teammates in the Asian Games.

When Coach Li Nan spoke, Li Yang waved his hand to greet these teammates one by one, and his eyes swept over one by one.

Zhou Qi is still so thin, it's like a bamboo pole, if it becomes China's mobile Great Wall, it is estimated that it will be a 16cm wall that can be broken by blowing bombs, maybe his stewardess wife flies all over the country, and there is no time to cook for him for the hungry and thin.

Wang Zhelin looks like an honest and responsible big boy; As for the "Ding God" Ding Yan Yuhang, although he still looks so chic and handsome, his face is a little pale, and the impact of his knee injury has not yet healed, but he still insists on going out for the country, which is indeed commendable.

……

Zhou Qi was the first to step forward and welcome Li Yang to join. After all, the two had a brief intersection in the United States before, and both were NBA rookies, but the other party was just a year ahead of him.

Zhou Qi opened his hands and hugged Li Yang with a smile on his face: "Brother, welcome, now we can finally fight side by side, it's time to let others know the strength of our "Dongfang Yang" combination." ”

"Hmm~, what the hell, this is the name of the group, and it is also "Dongfang Yang", if you want to be so casual, it is not even as good as Dongfang Xiongqi. Although Li Yang kept complaining in his heart, he was silent on the surface, and hugged Zhou Qi heavily.

In fact, the relationship between the two has not reached the point of being very iron, but the other party is so enthusiastic, Li Yang can't turn a blind eye, naturally he reciprocates the favor, and smiles like a chrysanthemum, at least he can't lose in his posture.

Zhou Qi: "This kid doesn't play according to the routine, as the core of the team, it's normal for me to be generous and welcome newcomers, why is he smiling so exaggeratedly, could it be that he wants to rob me of the status of the boss?" ”

Li Yang: "This grandson is smiling so insidiously, it is definitely explosive, I have to be careful, lest I accidentally fall into his way!" ”

In this way, two men who are wary of each other in their hearts show the appearance of sympathy, at least the illusion created by others is that the relationship between the two people is extraordinary and absolutely has a foundation.

Seeing Zhou Qi showing such enthusiasm, others are naturally not far behind, maybe Li Yang is the main point guard of this Asian Games, if you don't have a good relationship at this time, when will you wait.

After Zhou Qi, a big man hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Li Yang heavily, looking like a star, and said domineeringly: "Hello Li Yang, welcome to join the national team." ”

"Hello, Wang Zhelin." Li Yang smiled.

Before letting go, he leaned into Li Yang's ear and whispered: "Li Yang, I think you and I will definitely cooperate more tacitly than Zhou Qi, I am looking forward to the internal and external connection with you, come on, buddy covers you!" After Wang Zhelin patted his chest and finished speaking, he walked away with a proud face.

"What's it like to be drafted by an NBA team?" Ding Yan Yuhang and Li Yang hugged briefly, and then took the initiative to ask him.

Li Yang read a hint of yearning in his eyes.

Being able to play in the NBA is believed to be the dream of all basketball players, and for Ding Yanyuhang, he is now the No. 1 small forward in China and even in Asia, and it can no longer continue to grow in Asia.

Seeing Ding Yanyuhang at this time, he still has a glimmer of hope for landing in the NBA. Last year was the first year that Ding Yanyuhang embarked on a dream journey, and he played in the summer league for the Mavericks. Played 11 games, averaged 15 minutes per game, and scored 6.2 points.

It was a period of time when he lived alone in the United States, and he was not a person who liked to be lively, but in order to integrate into the team, he was willing to communicate with his teammates more and participate in more activities, hoping to gain more.

The 25-year-old Ding Yanyuhang doesn't have much time to wait for his NBA dream, he can only take the initiative and do something, and the opportunity will not fall from the sky.

"It's okay, I was nervous before I was selected, but I felt very excited after being selected, and I felt that all my efforts had been recognized."

"What about the skills of the other rookies? Isn't your physical fitness very exciting? ”

Ding Yanyuhang didn't seem satisfied, and then asked again.

Li Yang laughed after hearing this, Ding Yanyuhang looked like a curious baby at this time.

That kind of expectation and yearning for the NBA is not just written on the face, but in all the bits and pieces of words and deeds.

"They are all powerful, after all, they are the elites left behind by the big waves, and their physical talent and skills are all first-class existences!" Li Yang replied with a smile.

"If you are a striker, it's still ...... to play a little more outside singles"

"Ahem, Xiao Ding is almost there, and Li Yang has only played a few NBA summer league games." Coach Li Nan hurriedly interrupted Ding Yanyuhang's questioning.

Li Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly praised Coach Li Nan's wise behavior, worthy of being an old coach, he felt that if the other party continued to ask like this, Ding Yanyuhang would probably be able to ask for a day, just look at his thirst for knowledge.

Ding Yanyuhang smiled embarrassedly, and reached out and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay, if you're interested, I'll talk to you again in the evening when I'm free." Li Yang really couldn't stand the other party's resentful little eyes, and said with a helpless smile.

Next is a group of national team players, Fang Shuo, Sun Minghui, Abdul Salamu, Ding Yanyuhang...... Everyone came over to greet Li Yang one by one, and they all greeted him, and the scene looked very harmonious.

This atmosphere makes Li Yang feel very comfortable, there is competition in unity, the Chinese national team is different from the national teams of other countries, in this team, maybe the players and players will have some differences, but in general they are very united, because they all have a common goal, that is, to win glory for the country!

After Li Yang greeted his teammates one by one, the next thing was the coaching staff.

The coaching staff of the national men's basketball team in this Asian Games includes Li Nan, Gore, Hu Xuefeng, and Zhao Renbin, of which Li Nan is the head coach and the others are assistant coaches, who are jointly responsible for the training and competition of the national team.

In addition, the physical trainer is Ben?Voogd from the United States, and Li Ke, who everyone is very familiar with. The trainer is also Michael Kennedy from the United States.

After getting to know the coaching staff, the grand welcome ceremony ended and the training began shortly after.

Coach Li Nan stood in front of everyone, his expression was as serious as ever, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

I saw him wave his big hand to everyone: "It's August 12th, only a week before the opening of the Jakarta Asian Games, and now that Li Yang has joined, there are only a few days left for us to run in, so we must hurry, I don't want to see anyone slack off and slack off!" ”

"Yes." Everyone hurriedly assured loudly.

Then, Coach Li Nan began to arrange specific training.

This training is divided into two parts, one is physical training, the other is tactical training, every morning is physical training, and in the afternoon is tactical training.

In addition, because of the tight time, there will be an internal competition every other day to test the training results of the players, as well as the team's run-in level, find out the team's problems, and so on......

The so-called physical training includes speed, endurance, strength, bounce, explosiveness, etc......

Basketball specific physical training includes full ball and off-ball exercises, jumping, fast foot movements, flexibility exercises and solid ball exercises.

These are not problems for Li Yang, and the ability he showed also surprised Coach Li Nan and other members of the coaching staff, and they were amazed.

After all, Li Yang's ability is now very close to A-level, from the end of the draft to the return of the summer league, he has not been idle, under the guidance of the trainer, one by one.

Up to now, Li Yang's speed, explosiveness, and strength have reached A-level, and in terms of physical fitness, only endurance and bounce are missing.

The ability to almost fully reach the A-level makes Li Yang extremely prominent, no matter in that aspect, it can be said to be outstanding, which amazes everyone.

Especially his speed, after trying it with Li Yang, even Sun Minghui, who is recognized as the fastest in the team, sighed to himself and lowered his arrogant head.

In the afternoon, tactical training.

In fact, the national team has been training for some time in front of the country, and has also played three games against the Australian men's basketball team at home.

After that, they played a confrontation game with Angola, Ukraine and Serbia men's basketball teams, and the inherent tactical system has long been formed.

Now for Li Yang, what he has to do is to integrate into the system as soon as possible, digital tactics and adapt to the playing style of his teammates.

In this case, his high basketball IQ, as well as the basketball knowledge and tactical literacy that he has continuously absorbed from the system, have played a role, and in just one afternoon, he has integrated well into the team, although the cooperation with his teammates is not tacit enough, but it is already quite good.

This made the coaching staff led by Li Nan very satisfied, and they were all frightened by his super understanding and learning ability.

Although they had heard about Li Yang's deeds before and knew that he had extraordinary potential, now that they saw it with their own eyes, they had to admit in their hearts that this was indeed a genius, an all-rounder with a super high basketball IQ and field ability.

There's no doubt about that!

In their eyes, Li Yang is a complete genius, with excellent physical fitness, excellent skills, tactical literacy, and a very high basketball IQ, except for the fact that breaking through offensive means may be a disadvantage, other aspects are almost perfect, at least for his age.

……

The next day, Coach Li Nan couldn't wait to arrange an intra-team match, he wanted to see how Li Yang performed in the actual game, and whether he could surprise them again.

Coach Li Nan held the folder in his hand, glanced at the players in front of him, and began to roll call: "Red group, Wang Zhelin (center), Yu Changdong (center forward), Ding Yanyuhang (small forward), Zhao Rui (scoring guard), Fang Shuo (organizational guard), Sun Minghui (organizational guard).

Hearing this list, everyone looked at Li Yang.

The red group is basically the starting lineup, with a total of twelve people in the team, and now there are two people in the guard position, Zhao Rui and Li Yang. Coach Li Nan assigned Zhao Rui to the red group, and then there will be only one organizational defender in the blue group later.

Then there is no doubt that he is also the only point guard in the blue group, which means that he has plenty of time to control the ball, which is what the coach deliberately wants him to perform, to test his ability.

Everyone knows this, but in fact, they have no opinion.

On the contrary, everyone is still a little curious and looking forward to it, after all, Li Yang's performance in this year's summer league is too strong, and the lottery was selected by the Clippers, which is the first guard in China to be selected by the lotto, so everyone wants to see with their own eyes how much ability this guy has, and whether he is in vain.

Zhao Rui, who was standing next to Li Yang, also winked at Li Yang, and whispered: "I won't release the water later, you have to be careful, after I recently re-watched Kurozi's basketball, I realized the ball together, and the speed was simply unusual." ”

"Hehe, I believe in your evil." Li Yang rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Since that's the case, then I'll ask you for your new moves." Hehe, the basketball of the sunspots, why is it not the NBA, my skills are a little too much. ”

"Blue group." Coach Li Nan began to announce the list of Group B, "Zhou Qi (center), Dong Hanlin (big forward), Zhao Tailong (small forward), Abdul Salamu (small forward), Li Yang (organizational guard scoring guard), Liu Zhixuan (organizational guard).

Coach Li Nan deliberately divided Li Yang and Zhou Qi into a group, and this intention was also obvious, just to see if the cooperation between the two could produce a chemical reaction.

As we all know, Li Yang and Zhou Qi are both NBA rookies, and there should be a tacit understanding between them, which is also a good point.

As soon as the preliminaries of the National Games were played, Abdul Salamu received an invitation letter from Li Nan's red team, and Coach Li Nan also looked at him differently, so he was also assigned to the blue group, just to see if there could be any sparks between young people.

Once the personnel are assigned, the competition is ready to begin.

There are six people in the red group, and there are 5 people except Sun Minghui who play, and on the blue group, Zhou Qi is not on for the time being, and the other 5 people go first.

Looking at the coach and then at his teammates, Li Yang took a deep breath, touched the floor under his feet, and after sorting out his thoughts, he finally walked onto the court of the national team, not to mention that the floor is well maintained, it seems that it is time to exert his strength and show his real skills, and he is a little excited to think about it.

This time, he didn't communicate anything with his teammates first, after all, he didn't know much about his teammates, and he needed to observe the characteristics of the other party in the game and have a preliminary understanding.

However, he knows that his first shot in the national team must be fired, and he must perform well, show his absolute strength to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and convince his teammates with the momentum of crushing, so that he can shake the field and have a good start to the next Asian Games journey.

Although this is only a small intra-team match, it is particularly important to Li Yang, a newcomer, and there is absolutely no room for loss, the first impression is very important, and he can only be reused by the coach if he performs well.

This is the same in any team, only strength can gain status, and only the strong deserve the respect of others, this is the cruel law of survival in the arena.
