Chapter 140: Brilliant Ambition

In a luxury international chain five-star hotel in Nankai District, Jinghai City, the North American Chinese youth team, which reached the final of the youth basketball tournament of this National Games, is meeting in a luxurious conference room.

In fact, before the official opening of this National Games, there was criticism of overseas athletes or teams entering luxury hotels, after all, athletes from other provinces and regions are all staying in the athlete base, while a large part of these overseas Chinese athletes have stayed in five-star hotels.

Some media have questioned such a thing, arguing that it is unfair to other athletes and that all participating athletes should be treated equally.

However, the Jinghai National Games Organizing Committee did not force overseas athletes to return to the athletes' base to live, after all, this is the first time that overseas Chinese have participated, and such a situation was not expected before the game, so it can only be arranged in this way.

The reason why the North American Chinese Youth Team was able to stay in this internationally renowned five-star hotel chain is that their competition is sponsored by the North American Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and this hotel is actually under the name of the members of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

In the luxurious multi-functional conference room, the players of the North American Chinese youth team are listening to their team's head coach Gao Ming explain the game arrangement.

"Turgon? Maimaiti, the core point guard of the Frontier Youth Team, has averaged 21.6 points and 7.3 assists per game so far, playing an average of 29.5 minutes per game, shooting 54.3% from three-point range, and running an estimated distance of more than 6,500 meters per game, with a five-star threat level. ”

"This is an atypical point guard player, 184 centimeters tall, 71 kilograms, thin, aggressive running, excellent ball control, excellent ability in disguise. The dominant hand is the right hand, and the success rate of the right side of the breakthrough exceeds the success rate of the left side by 20% when breaking through, so it is recommended to press the right side of the defense. ”

Gao Ming's voice was steady and without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if he were expounding a scientific paper.

The North American youth team players who listened to the following more or less responded to Gao Ming's words, of course, more of a little pouting, to be honest, many North American youth team players feel that Gao Ming is a bit like a machine, an emotionless machine.

Gao Ming, who just turned 30 this year, did not come from a professional basketball or related work, on the contrary, he worked as a data actuary four years ago.

Gao Ming, who graduated from Princeton University with a degree in applied mathematics, did not enter the insurance or banking industry after graduating with a Ph.D., but instead embarked on a path that exceeded everyone's expectations.

Four years ago, Gao Ming, a recent graduate, became an assistant coach on the basketball team of his alma mater, Princeton University, with his ability to accurately process data and analyze data. Plitt marveled at his keen observation and unusually calm composure.

A year later, Gao Ming squeezed out Anthony, who recruited him into the team? Plitt became the youngest head coach in the history of the Princeton University team and the first Chinese foreign head coach in the history of Princeton University.

Two years later, Gao Ming led the Princeton University team to the round of 16 of the North American Collegiate Basketball League, creating the best result in the school's history.

After that, Gao Ming was unilaterally fired by Princeton University, and after seeking to coach an NBA team to no avail, Gao Ming was idle at home for a year.

At the beginning of this year, Gao Ming returned to become the head coach of the North American youth team.

In fact, many people don't understand why Princeton University unilaterally fired Gao Ming, who led the school team to the best result in the team's history, but Gao Ming himself knows very well what the reason is.

Although the status of Chinese and ethnic Chinese overseas is no longer the same as in the past because of the strength of the Republic, there are still unspoken rules and discrimination against Chinese and ethnic Chinese in some areas.

Gao Ming actually knew that he wouldn't be able to do it long after he expelled the white guard who had some racist tendencies from the school team, first of all, not to mention the white guard's father, that is, he had always refused to give up his Republic nationality, and he made many people very dissatisfied, in fact, Gao Ming also knew that in the so-called most open and tolerant North American universities, there is still no room for a foreign excellent head coach, especially an excellent head coach from the Republic.

This time back in China, Gao Ming did not plan to leave again, he could have relied on his academic qualifications and his own job to find a job with good treatment, but Gao Ming has a grand goal in his heart, this goal may be very low in his status as an actuary, but Gao Ming still intends to persevere, he wants to prove himself, and not only to prove himself, there are many, many more.

Winning the championship of the Youth Group Basketball Tournament of the National Games is only a short-term goal in Gao Ming's view, and he wants to use this championship as a vote to enter the domestic basketball world, and then step by step to complete and achieve his grand goal.

However, to win the championship of this competition, Gao Ming still has to face the biggest obstacle, that is, the next opponent, the Frontier Youth Team.

In the eyes of many players of the North American youth team, their final opponent is actually not worth mentioning at all, because through the previous games, the players of the North American youth team feel that the domestic youth players are not their opponents at all, and this gap is even all-round, not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of basic skills and tactical thinking.

Reaching the finals smoothly made the North American youth team a little fluttering.

However, Gao Ming does not think so, although according to his analysis, the success rate of the team that wants to defeat him is not more than 40%, but Gao Ming always thinks that this final opponent is definitely not ordinary, because this is a team that jumps into the basketball concept.

"The last one, Wang Lei, a former national player of the Republic of China, is 1.96 meters tall and weighs unknown, became the head coach of the Frontier Youth Team in October last year, and has never coached before, which is our biggest enemy and the most threatening enemy."

After explaining all the players of the Frontier Youth Team in detail, Gao Ming finally talked about Wang Lei, and at the same time, his tone also fluctuated, which is very rare.

"Boss, he's just a coach, he won't play, besides, he can't play, I heard, he only has one leg, haha."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, there were people who coaxed below, after all, they are players who grew up overseas, and their usual atmosphere is like this, and there is nothing rude to say.

"Well, you're right, he does only have one leg, but he also has one more head than you, and your head is full of muscles, and that person's head has ideas beyond the current concept of basketball."

Gao Ming's words were vicious and keen, and he really saw through the details of the frontier youth team.
