Gao Ming and Wang Lei's first meeting was very harmonious, at least it did seem to be the case on the scene.

At the press conference before the finals, Gao Ming met Wang Lei, who surprised him a little.

Two head coaches of about the same young age came together for a press conference for the finals, which is very rare in the history of basketball in the Republic.

Wang Lei really surprised Gao Ming, he never thought that there would be such an open-minded coach in China, which can be seen from the changeable tactical style of the Frontier Youth Team and the North American Youth Team and the previous opponent's games, compared to the domestic team, the Frontier Youth Team and the North American Youth Team play a completely different style of basketball.

Although Gao Ming is a pure data flow style, all tactical arrangements and player rotation are arranged according to data, but he has also studied the basketball tactical concepts of major North American coaches, so his team seems to be extremely rational, but in fact, it also has its own unique style, and Gao Ming is really surprised by Wang Lei's ability to adjust a team, he sees it very clearly, the team of the Frontier Youth Team is a team with very high execution, and the players are very smart and know their own positioning, This is very rare, you know, in the smart team, with the results getting better and better, there are already players who are not satisfied with their current position and possession, and there are people in the dressing room who are ganging up, hoping that they can get better statistics and more opportunities, after all, this tournament is a very good opportunity for everyone, and it is the goal of everyone in this team to have the opportunity to become a real professional player.

"Coach Gao, it's a pleasure to play against your team."

"Coach Wang, me too, always looking forward to playing against your team, hopefully it will be a good game."

The handshake between the two extremely young coaches made the reporters in the audience very excited, after all, even if this scene will not become the headline of tomorrow, it will become quite important news, because the team composed of two young head coaches and two equally young non-professional players symbolizes the vigorous development of the youth basketball career of the Republic, and the identity of Gao Ming and the overseas attributes of his team also symbolize the importance and care of the Republic for overseas Chinese.

At the press conference, Gao Ming and Wang Lei didn't say much, the styles of both sides are relatively changeable, Gao Ming's team still has traces to follow, and Wang Lei's team seems to have no trace except for the offense, so even the reporter's questioning at the press conference still can't pry open the mouths of the two young coaches.

Wang Lei returned to the locker room, and the players had already begun to prepare for the final warm-up, and in an hour, the final would officially begin.

For Wang Lei, Gao Ming is undoubtedly a terrible opponent, he has studied Gao Ming's career in detail, this non-professional player coach has a very brilliant coaching career beginning, can lead a little-known college team to the final 16 of the North American University League, which is enough to show that Gao Ming is powerful, Wang Lei himself has tried out in the NBA, he is very clear about the gap between the level of basketball in the Republic and the world's top basketball, and the league level of the Republic is not even able to catch up with the non-professional college leagues, So Gao Ming is definitely an extremely powerful opponent.

Wang Lei has also studied all the previous games of the North American youth team, although their players are not professional players, but whether they are physical fitness or ball skills, they can basically be compared with domestic professional players, many of them are playing for major college teams in North America, and can join a North American college team as Chinese or Chinese, basically each of them is from the primary and secondary school leagues step by step, so to speak, In terms of individual ability, there is a big gap between the frontier youth team and the North American youth team.

However, for the finals, Wang Lei and the team are not without confidence, they have also encountered strong opponents before, and they have won one by one.

The opponent is indeed good enough, but it is not invincible, Gao Ming's team seems to have a changeable style, players rotate frequently, and they are also attack-oriented, but Wang Lei also found some clues about the opponent through game videos and studying Gao Ming's career.

For example, although the smart team often plays a small lineup, but their offense is based on breaking through the ball, and the high-post blocking and dismantling tactics are not their regular tactics, which still does not break out of the basis of the existing basketball style, in this time and space, the blocking and dismantling tactics are not as thorough as the earth's time and space, and are only used as an auxiliary tactic, which is like the frontier youth team, their offense is actually more than eighty percent formed through repeated blocking and dismantling and covering tactics.

Another point, in a smart team, players with excellent data and higher efficiency will always get the importance of Gao Ming, which seems to be understandable, but in fact, this is the biggest flaw of Gao Ming, Wang Lei is a person who has really fought on the basketball court after all, he knows very well that sometimes the role of some players is not just reflected by data, such as Turgun in the qualifying stage against the capital youth team, in that game, Turgun only scored four points in the first three quarters, and only hit one goal in the first ten shots, If this was placed in a smart team, it is estimated that Turgun would not have a chance to play at all, but Wang Lei dared to let Turgun continue to shoot for the eleventh, twelfth and even more, and finally relied on Turgon's stunner, and the Frontier Youth Team won the game.

With such belief, Wang Lei and his players are only looking forward to the final, they are eagerly looking forward to the start of the game, and they are also looking forward to defeating a strong opponent and winning the final championship.

"Run, that's the only principle of our game, the opponent's athleticism is just as good, and it's also an offense-oriented team, so if you want to win, you have to run more than the opponent, be more active, play to our strengths, don't fight hard with the opponent, be brave outside the three-point line, Haul, you have to do a good job of rebounding in this game, the opponent's interior is also not tall, you have a good chance to prove yourself."

After the warm-up, Wang Lei gave the final explanation to the team in the locker room, the North American youth team also has no high school forward, this is a good opportunity in Wang Lei's view, he is not ready to let Hawule or Cai Aihong attack the opponent's inside, but hope that the players in this game can compete for more rebounds, the two teams are known for their offense and speed, and whoever can do a good job of rebounding will take the lead.
