“shi.t！ What are you fighting? Shit! It's all shit! The advantage of more than 30 points, in a blink of an eye, how much is left? The head coach of the Australian team began to roar.

"You, Phas, what are you doing? You're holding a basketball, not a potato! ”

"And you, Sangais, are you sleepwalking? Why can't you even get a backup center? What about your rebounds? What about your defense? What about your strength? Forgot all about Australia? ”

"Coach, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that Chinese kid ......" Sangez wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but was scolded by the head coach: "As the main center, you can't beat a substitute center, are you still reasonable?" shi.t！ If you are still like this in the next game, you can stay on the bench for me in the next World Youth Championships! ”

"Yes, Coach." Sangiston wilted, and could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, you don't need to be in a hurry, now we are still twelve points ahead, as long as we hold on for one round, and then play for another twenty-four seconds, then even if we don't have a point behind, the victory will be ours." After the head coach of Australia vented, he calmed down again and said: "Next, Census will send the bottom ball, Jackson, you will be in charge, remember, don't ask yourself to score, but please don't make mistakes, you must not make mistakes!" ”

The head coach of the Australian team is still more experienced, although he has been poured the ball just now, but the overall situation, still has not left Australia, just need to calm down, hold a ball, and then use the 24-second offensive time limit to polish the time, and win steadily.

Chinese team, bench.

Zhao Jiwei, Heng Yifeng, Liu Delong, Liu Bo...... and Zhou Qi, ready to play. Li Qiuping hesitated slightly, but still made up his mind.

Tang Qian listened, and immediately said loudly: "Coach Li, why do you want to change people?" We had the right momentum and could have turned the game around with one blow. ”

Really......

Of course, Li Qiuping knew that he was a little unauthentic in doing this, but this Zhou Qi was the key cultivation object explained above, and at the critical moment, how could he let Zhou Qi sit on the bench.

Therefore, even if he knew that it was biased to do so, for his own sake and for Tang Qian's sake, he couldn't take this risk.

These three words in the system represent too much in China.

Although basketball seems to be just basketball, in China, it can be given some side meaning.

Moreover, after Li Qiuping went to the NBA to practice for a period of time, he also became more and more aware of some so-called "in-system" problems. Although this system has played an irreplaceable role for a long time, now, if sports follow this old path, it is inevitable that some will be outdated and some will not keep up with the times.

Although the athletes in the "system" can enjoy many benefits of the state after making achievements, if you do not perform well, then sorry, your future retirement benefits will be greatly reduced. Although this is also a means to stimulate competition, it is still a bit too "harsh" and "cruel" for most athletes.

Then, most importantly, athletes "within the system" are not free.

It is easy to be "trapped".

For example, Li Qiuping heard that Guo Ailun, the last scoring champion of the U17, has entered the "system", which is the future of this new star boy, and he vaguely feels that it may not be a "very good" thing.

On the other hand, looking at the current Zhou Qi, Li Qiuping feels much smarter, although he also trained and grew up with those players in the system, but he did not accept any sports bureau establishment, so the future path will be wider and broader. Of course, in fact, it is better or worse to speak with facts.

But Zhou Qi, no, to be precise, Zhou Qi's parents are quite far-sighted.

In addition to letting him study in basketball school at his own expense, the agreement signed with the Liaoning Sports Bureau is also a National Games agreement, which not only did not delay Zhou Qi's growth and development, but also helped him maintain a certain degree of independence.

But compared with Zhou Qi, Tang Qian is obviously much more "independent".

If Zhou Qi is a "semi-system and semi-non-system" player, then Tang Qian is a complete "outside the system" player. In these two situations, which one will be taken care of above, Li Qiuping can think of it with his ass. After all, not many people know the details of Zhou Qi's affairs, and even many people now think that he is a pure "system" player like Yao Yiwang, but Tang Qian is definitely different.

The above "officials" absolutely do not like this kind of "purely outside the system" athletes.

Because for one thing, there is no benefit in this kind of "pure outside the system" athletes.

Second, no matter how good the performance of this type of athlete is, it has nothing to do with their political performance.

In this way, it is clear who should be "green-eyed" and who should be "white-eyed".

Li Qiuping shook his head, for this kind of thing, he has no way to change it all at once, but judging from the recent situation in recent years, Chinese sports have gradually had a tendency to "change", maybe not fast, but it is always better than standing still.

"Don Jr., you guys did a good job, and even overfulfilled the task, so sit down and watch your teammates perform for the rest of the time." Li Qiuping smiled at Tang Qian and said.

"Why ......" Tang Qian wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Li Qiuping: "Are you a coach or am I a coach?" I said substitution, didn't you hear me? ”

The corners of Tang Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and then sat down on the bench without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Ziyang, who had just cooperated well with Tang Qian, walked to his side, sat down and said, "Tang Qian, you don't need to be so angry, after all, we are a substitute in this game, not the main starter." So after you've done your part, it's time to take a break, you know? ”

"Is this professional basketball?" Tang Qian suddenly asked coldly.

Xu Ziyang was stunned, and couldn't answer him for a long time.

One minute and twenty-six seconds passed quickly, and after the Chinese national youth team was replaced, they failed to score another point, and were directly scored three goals in a row by Jackson of the Australian team, completely burying the game.

Beep~~~

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and then Tang Qian stood up, didn't look back, turned around and left the playing field.

Tang Qian's move was naturally seen by head coach Li Qiuping, and he sighed in his heart, although he understood that his actions just now were a little hurtful, but for the sake of the future of this big boy, he had to do it.

If you want to play well in China, you should not make too many enemies.

At half past nine in the evening, the Chinese national youth team stayed at the hotel.

Tang Qian, who was extremely depressed, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who!"

Tang Qian's voice was a little impatient.

"Xiao Tang, it's me, I'm Coach Li Qiuping."

A gentle voice said outside the door.

Coach Lee?

Tang Qian immediately got up from the bed and opened the door, looking at this middle-aged man, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What, Xiao Tang, don't you invite me in and sit?" Li Qiuping smiled warmly.

"Oh, okay, come in then." Tang Qian was stunned, then opened the door completely and let Li Qiuping walk in.

"Xiao Tang, what do you think of today's events?" Li Qiuping didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.

"I don't think much of it, since it's what you want, coach, I can only follow it." Tang Qiankou should not be careful.

"You must think that I am a confused coach who can't see the situation on the field at that time, right?" Li Qiuping said.

Tang Qian was silent and did not speak.

"Alas, Xiao Tang, I admit that I underestimated you, but there are some rules of domestic basketball, and you may not understand them." Li Qiuping said slowly.

"Rules? What do you mean? Tang asked in a muffled voice.

"All walks of life have their rules, either explicit rules or unspoken rules, and Chinese basketball is no exception." Li Qiuping continued: "For example, today, do you know why I replaced you? ”

Tang Qian shook his head.

"It's because of the rules." Li Qiuping said: "Maybe you don't know, in our domestic basketball circle, there is a thing called seniority. ”

"Qualifications? Please also ask Coach Li to speak. Tang Qiandao.

"Don Jr., let me tell you a story." Li Qiuping lit a cigarette and said, "You don't mind, right?" ”

"Well, it's fine." Tang Qian waved his hand.

I saw Li Qiuping take a sip of cigarette and said, "Xiao Tang, Yao Ming you know." ”

Tang Qian nodded, in China, as long as people pay attention to basketball, there is almost no one who is not familiar with these two words.

"What do you think of Yao Ming?"

"Yao Ming." Tang Qian thought for a moment and said: "China's most powerful player in the past decade, a first-class center in the NBA, his basketball achievements, for now, should be the first person in the country." ”

"Well, what do you think you compare with Yao Ming?" Li Qiuping said.

"I'm not as good as him now." Tang Qian replied honestly.

"Not as good as him now?" Li Qiuping glanced at Tang Qian deeply and said, "Young man, you are not very ambitious." ”

"Basketball is a competitive sport, and since it is a competitive sport, the achievements of our predecessors should be used to surpass." Tang Qian replied.

"Makes sense." Li Qiuping didn't object, he smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad for young people to be a little sharp. ”

"Then let me tell you a story, a story about Yao Ming." Li Qiuping spat out the smoke ring and said: "You know the 2004 Athens Olympics, Yao Ming has been polishing in the NBA for two years at that time, and when it comes to technology and ability, it is natural that he should be the boss of the Chinese team, right?" ”

Tang Qian nodded.

"But I can tell you that the Chinese men's basketball team back then was actually not very peaceful internally."

Li Qiuping frowned, as if he was reminiscing, and seemed to be thinking: "In the Olympic Games that year, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Spain in the group stage. ”

"That person, is it Yao Ming?" Tang Qian guessed.

Li Qiuping did not answer directly, but continued to speak: "In fact, before the Chinese men's basketball team set out that year, there were already signs of discord. Therefore, at that time, Gong Luming publicly asked before the game to ask the players to put national honor first in everything and temporarily put aside their personal grievances. I remember that after the fiasco to Spain, Yao Ming threw the towel in anger, and at the same time publicly bombarded some players for being masters in the national team, which caused an uproar in the domestic sports world at that time. ”

Regarding this incident, Tang Qian also vaguely remembered some things, but he was still young at that time, so he didn't think deeply about the detours and detours.

"And everyone in the team at that time knew that the person Yao Ming was accusing was Bartle." (Regarding this matter, if you are interested, you can take a look at Li Yuanwei's book "Li Yuanwei's Basketball Road".) ）

"Why?" Tang Qian asked.

"Why?" Li Qiuping smiled as if he was a little sarcastic, and said, "If you want to clarify this issue, you need to talk about it for another two years." ”

"In 02, in fact, the ideal banner of the Chinese men's basketball team was Wang Zhizhi, but due to Wang Zhizhi's non-return incident, the basketball management and the Basketball Association decided to let Yao Minglai, who was only 22 years old, become the new banner of the Chinese men's basketball team. However, it is easy to move the lips at the top, but it is difficult to implement it at the bottom. Because Yao Ming had not been honed in the NBA back then, both his qualifications and abilities were far different from later. Li Qiuping flicked the cigarette ash and said slowly: "That year, in fact, the Chinese men's basketball team was still the world of the golden generation of 94, although Yao Ming gradually grew up, and even overthrew the Bayi Dynasty in the CBA, but it was still not enough to deter everyone." ”

"Don Jr., can you imagine a person who averages 32.4 points, 19 rebounds, and 4.8 blocks per game in the CBA still doesn't get the respect of the whole team? You must know that Yao Ming that year was a person with a 72.1% hit rate, and the CBA championship was added, this kind of achievement, there are still people who are unwilling to accept this kind of achievement. Li Qiuping seemed to be a little emotional.

Tang Qian didn't speak, because he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the enlightenment teacher of the famous Yao Ming, so he was a little excited about the treatment of Yao Ming, and he could understand it.

"In order to cope with this situation, the above gradually began to change the blood of the Chinese men's basketball team, but no matter how it changes, it is impossible to remove all the 'meritorious veterans' in one go, and this problem lies with Bartle. Battella and Wang Zhizhi both played in the NBA back then, since Wang Zhizhi didn't come back, Battelle thought that it should be his turn, so he was a little unhappy about Yao Ming's succession. ”

"However, he has no way to change the above policy, so in order to show his veteran's 'demeanor', Battelle often wears the Spurs' championship T-shirt to play in the training of the Chinese men's basketball team." The corners of Li Qiuping's mouth couldn't help mentioning it, and said: "This planted a seed for the future Yaoba conflict." ”

"Let's go back to 2004, when in order to prepare for the Athens Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team has begun to promote the youth policy, so Bartle's national team seat is actually not very stable. As far as I know, at that time, the above was really anxious for a long time in order to go to Bartel or Tang Zhengfrozen. After all, it is impossible for two people with similar ball styles to be brought over. ”

"Tang Zhengling was the new MVP of the CBA that year, and Bartle was the veteran of the national brand, but after some consideration, the final candidate was the latter with rich experience in the international arena."

"In this way, the problem arises."

Li Qiuping took a hard puff of the cigarette in his hand and said: "At that time, Yao Ming had already experienced in the NBA, and even faintly had a tendency to become the boss of the Rockets. Although Bartel doesn't say it, he acts against the yin. Don Jr., you should have watched the Olympics that year, right? ”

"Well, I've seen it." Tang Qian nodded.

"In that case, you should remember some of Yao Ming's 'extreme' remarks at the press conference that year, right?"

"Well, although I was still young at that time, I saw a little bit through the newspaper." Tang Qian thought for a while and said, "It seems that after losing, Yao Ming let go, some people regard themselves as stars and uncles, right?" ”

"That's right." Li Qiuping took a puff of cigarette and said: "At the press conference that day, Yao Ming even announced that he was going to withdraw from the national team. ”

"Quitting the national team?" Tang Qian raised his head and said.

"Everyone thought that the person Yao Ming was talking about at that time was either Chen Ke or Zhu Fangyu, but in fact they were all wrong, the person Yao Ming was referring to was none other than the veteran Bartle in the team."

"Why?"

Li Qiuping's eyes flashed twice, and he said slowly: "Because some people don't work hard, when they start to compete, they behave hard and seriously, and once they sit on the national team, they immediately change their attitude." ”

Afterwards, for Yao Ming's bombardment, Bartle was not idle, and immediately said in the team, basketball is a collective event, and it is played by five people, not by you Yao Ming alone, you Yao Ming said this and that, and you yourself played like that. Not only that, but he also united several veteran players and began to put pressure on Yao Ming. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qiuping snuffed out the remaining cigarettes, and said in a rather low voice: "As a result, you should also have some impressions, Yao Ming finally publicly admitted that he was 'too anxious, too impatient, and not calm enough'. ”

"Xiao Tang, think about it, Yao Ming, who started from the absolute core of the year, still has to be angry, and he still has to 'take care of the overall situation', if you are too out of line, how much better can the result be?"

"Even if Battelle never entered the national team in the future, it was because of Yao Ming's strength."

"Some people in our country are best at weighing the pros and cons, and only when they really feel that your value is irreplaceable, can you let go of your hands and feet, and you can untie the shackles." Li Qiuping's voice was slightly excited.

"Little Don, I hope you can digest what I said to you tonight."

"Well, Coach Li, I will." Tang Qian also gradually understood what the other party meant, and agreed seriously.

"Okay, Xiao Tang, there is a game tomorrow, I won't continue to bother you, you can rest by yourself." Li Qiuping got up and said.

"Hmm." Tang Qian nodded slowly.

After seeing Li Qiuping leave the room, Tang Qian lay on the oversized bed, for the first time, for the first time, he began to think seriously about what is a profession, what is basketball, and what is professional basketball.

Alas......

Basketball......

I used to think it was too simple......

Li Qiuping, after leaving Tang Qian's room, he took out his mobile phone and dialed:

"Hey, Jianguo, you're right, this kid is a talent."

"I had a decision in my mind."

"No, no, no, I can't tell you now, let's talk about it after the World Junior Championships."

Li Qiuping hung up the phone, looked at the direction of Tang Qian's room, and was speechless for a long time.

PS：

When Xiao Zi wrote this chapter, she was a little heavy, Xiao Zi didn't know how much everyone paid attention to domestic basketball, but there was one person who had to mention, that was Li Yuanwei. At least in Yao Ming's time, this person allowed Chinese basketball to take off to a certain extent. But since he stepped down, the performance of domestic basketball has plummeted, and the development of the CBA league has also suffered from stagnation to a certain extent. Although the "Polaris Project" may not be as perfect as he said, Xiao Zi always thinks that it is still a very good direction to develop Chinese basketball based on the CBA league. After all, a country's basketball level needs a high-quality and high-intensity basketball league to support, such as the NBA in the United States, and the basketball league in Europe.

As a basketball lover, Xiaozi sincerely hopes that Chinese basketball will one day become a basketball mecca like the NBA, nothing more.

In addition, if you are interested, you can take a look at Li Yuanwei's autobiography, after all, if you like the NBA, you like the NBA, and the self-improvement of the Chinese Basketball League is also the deepest wish in the hearts of everyone who loves basketball.

Xiao Zi bowed up, and then went to the next chapter.
