Chapter 354: The First Center of the Universe Hesheng Town
Fortunately, Yi Dun is not the shortest one in this list, otherwise, he would be a little embarrassed as a big forward.
After arriving at the men's basketball training base in Beijing, Yi Dun met his teammates for the men's national basketball team.
Everyone is actually quite curious about Yi Dun, although they have fought in the CBA arena before, there is no communication on the field.
Now, they have a lot of time to talk to EDUN.
"Eden, welcome to the team." Wang Zhizhi, the captain of the national team, led everyone to smile at Yi Dun.
"Brother Zhi, in the coming days, please take care of it."
"Where, you still need us to take care of it, we still want you to take care of it." Veteran point guard Liu Wei laughed.
Liu Wei is known as the man who is the best at passing the ball to Yao Ming in China, and his personality is quite good, and he greeted Yi Dun warmly.
He can be said to be China's No. 1 point guard at the moment, even if he can't be called No. 1, he must be in the top three.
However, Liu Wei's strength is not particularly dazzling, and the strength of domestic point guards is generally not strong.
The reason why domestic point guards are not strong, in fact, this is also caused by the CBA environment, the ball is in the hands of foreign aid, and the number of domestic point guards is small firstly, and secondly, they cannot be trained.
I can't touch the ball in the game, how can I hone my point guard skills.
Even if there are one or two talented point guard seedlings, it is estimated that as soon as they get the ball, they will immediately break through and score on their own, after all, there are few opportunities to touch the ball, and if you want good data, you can only score by yourself.
As a result, the point guard Miao Zi could only become a point guard in the coat of a point guard.
Liu Wei is a more traditional point guard, which is quite rare among domestic point guards, relying on good passing ability and rich experience in the competition, he will definitely be able to firmly get the position of the national team's main control.
"That's right, Yi Dun, it's up to you to grab the rebounds in this Asian Games."
"Seriously, I've been playing in the U.S. for a few years, and I've never had a player as strong as you."
"By the way, my name is Zhang Zhaoxu, Yi Dun, you may not know me." Zhang Zhaoxu, who has NCAA experience, said with a smile.
He had just returned from the United States, and in the 09-10 season of the NCAA, he was not reused by the Golden Bears, averaging only about ten minutes per game, and probably got about 3 points and 2.5 rebounds.
Whether it's scoring ability or rebounding ability, it doesn't look very strong.
However, the blocking ability is quite amazing, and with such a little playing time, he can contribute an average of 1.4 blocks per game.
The reason for the strong sealing ability is actually inseparable from Zhang Zhaoxu's amazing height.
At present, the 23-year-old Zhang Zhaoxu is 221 cm tall and is called Xiao Yao Ming by domestic fans.
With NCAA experience and a very good body, domestic fans have great expectations for such a young player, and they are counting on him to succeed Yao Ming in the future and become the new pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team.
This Asian Games is the first time Zhang Zhaoxu has entered the national team, but it is not the first time to represent the Chinese team.
At that time in 09, Zhang Zhaoxu once represented the Chinese team in the World Universiade, and his performance was extremely exaggerated.
In the first game, he got 15 points, 16 rebounds and 8 blocks of quasi-triple-double data, and then got two serious block triple-doubles, which shows that Xiao Yao Mingzhen's ability to guard the basket is quite outstanding.
Yi Dun did not participate in this World Universiade, after all, Yi Dun had already won two gold medals in the Olympic Games at that time, and it was very unreasonable for him to participate in the World Universiade with such strength.
If Yi Dun also participated in the 09 World Universiade, it is estimated that he would have known Zhang Zhaoxu for a long time.
In this Asian Games, in addition to looking forward to Yi Dun's performance, domestic fans are most looking forward to Zhang Zhaoxu's performance.
Wang Zhizhi and others are naturally the leaders of the Chinese men's basketball team at the moment, but they are not young after all, and when they can't play, there should always be young people who stand up and carry the banner of the men's basketball team.
Zhang Zhaoxu is one of the most promising young players.
"Hello, fellow." Yi Dun also greeted Zhang Zhaoxu warmly.
"Although our team does not have Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian this time, but Yi Dun and Xiao Zhang are here, I guess it will not be a big problem to win the championship."
"But we still have to pay attention to it, we can't lose anymore in Asia, if we fail to win the Asian Games this time, we will lose adults." Captain Wang Zhizhi said with a serious face.
Since China participated in the 8th Bangkok Men's Basketball Asian Championship in 1975, it has participated in a total of 18 men's Asian Basketball Championships and won 14 of them......
Two of them won five consecutive championships, and one time won four consecutive championships!
This is the undisputed superpower that has absolute dominance in Asia.
But in recent years, the situation has been a bit worrying.
In 07, the Chinese men's basketball team created the worst result in the Asian Championships, only 10th.
However, this time it is a special situation, the first men's basketball team was preparing for the World Championships, and only the second men's basketball team participated in the Asian Championships.
In the 09 Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team went out as a team this time, but lost to Iran in the final and only won a silver medal.
Although it is not the Asian Championships and the Asian Games at the moment, the situation is actually similar, and the players are generally that group of people.
"Don't worry, Dazhi, let's win the championship this time, not nine out of nine, at least there must be a chance of more than nine out of nine." Zhu Fangyu said softly.
Wang Zhizhi shook his head, "The situation is not as optimistic as you think. ”
"Now the development of Asian basketball is quite good, in addition to the traditional China, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, the strength of Middle Eastern countries is also making rapid progress, and the strength of countries such as Iran, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia should not be underestimated."
"But in our Asian Games this time, I feel that the biggest threat is the South Korean team."
Hearing that the biggest threat is the Koreans, someone already laughed, "Brother Zhi, you said that the Korean team is the biggest threat to us, the reason can't it be that big hippo Hasheng Town, right?" ”
"This stupid big man, the Koreans said at the time that he could challenge Yao Ming's position as the No. 1 center forward in Asia, but as a result, we won't mention it."
"Don't talk about Yao Ming, I think our Datang can easily obey him."
"And this time we still have Yi Dun, so that the Korean team will not come back."
Yi Dun couldn't help but laugh when he heard everyone's words.
Now Yi Dun has also entered the basketball circle and knows some interesting things about the basketball circle.
If you want to talk about interesting things in the Asian basketball circle, you can't avoid this Hesheng Town at the moment.
Ha Seung Jin has NBA game experience, and was a Portland Trail Blazers player in the second round of the draft in 04, which is about the same as Sun Yue's pick when he entered the NBA.
Although it is a second-round show, there are still some players in the second-round show who can rise, but Haseungjin is definitely not the one who rises.
During his tenure with the Trailblazers, he was completely a soy sauce character, and he also caused trouble.
During the team's training, there was a verbal altercation with another young center, and the two scuffled, and the team friend was not easy to pull the two apart, Ha Seungjin shouted "I'm going to sue you", and then turned his head and left.
After a while, Ha Seung Jin came back with a wooden stick and chased after the young center......
In this case, not to mention that the strength of Hesheng Town is a little weak, even if the strength is okay, I am afraid that it will not be reused by the pioneers.
However, this matter cannot be said to be the fault of Hesheng Town, because it was the swear words that the opponent scolded first, and Hesheng Town counterattacked.
Looking at the character, Ha Seung Jin should belong to the kind of player who is more tough.
Although he doesn't like Koreans very much, in Yi Dun's opinion, there is nothing wrong with Ha Sheng Zhen in this matter, and if he were himself, he would definitely have to beat people.
And the real unpleasant thing about Hasheng Town is that he doesn't have a clear understanding of his own strength.
may be because the Korean media praised him too highly, after all, he was the first Korean to enter the NBA, so the Korean media has been comparing him to Yao Ming.
Over time, this product itself became fluttering, and he really felt that he was Yao Ming.
Over the years, Hesheng Town has been ridiculed by Chinese fans, and has been jokingly called the No. 1 center in the universe, and even the Chinese national team players sometimes scold Hesheng Town in interviews.
Before the Asian Games started, the South Korean media spread the news that Ha Seung Town was preparing to deal with Wang Zhizhi in this Asian Games.
Of course, the national team players must not take this seriously, they have played against Ha Seung Town, and they don't know much about this player.
Sometimes this cargo relies on his hippopotamus-like tonnage and height, and it can really come in handy on the field, which is why Wang Zhizhi said to be careful of Hesheng Town.
But most of the time, this goods can only play a negative role for the South Korean team on the field.
The offensive technique is quite simple, and the only thing that will be able to use tonnage under the basket to squeeze the opponent away, and then dunk.
Like the hook that many Asian center forwards are good at, he can't.
There are no baskets, and the free throw shooting percentage is also more worrying.
The defensive end is not much better than the offensive end, with only 1.8 blocks per 48 minutes, and the defensive ability is not an exaggeration to say that it is really not as good as the current Zhang Zhaoxu.
In terms of rebounds, it was also a bit bad, only 7.8 defensive rebounds could be recorded in 48 minutes, not to mention offensive rebounds.
Not to mention the world ranking, in fact, in Asia, can only be regarded as a second-rate center.
