On May 11, 2008, Li Zhi landed at Beijing Capital International Airport on a flight, and a few days later, Li Zhi will join the national team to play a warm-up match against Iran.

The match is a semi-public match, and the media can interview it before the game, but it cannot be broadcast live to the outside world, and the audience cannot watch it live.

Li Zhi did not know much about Iran, the geography was not very good, and he often confused Iraq and Iran, so Li Zhi was also ridiculed by Andy Miller.

As another Asian team that has reached the Olympic finals, the Iranian team is really not weak, and it is a little arrogant, thinking that Asian basketball will be Iran's world.

Yao Ming came to the national team long before Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was delayed a lot of time because he asked Crawford for breakthrough techniques. In the past few days, under the serious teaching of Crawford, Li Zhi has mastered some of the tricks of Crawford's breakthrough, although there is no change in the ability value, it is of great significance to Li Zhi's skill improvement.

The lineup that came to pick up the airport was unprecedentedly strong, and the fans were overwhelming, which showed that Li Zhi's influence in China was not weaker than some entertainment stars.

The fans crowded the area around the passage, Li Zhi felt the warmth, kept greeting the fans, and was still loved on the other side of the ocean, which was a good feeling.

Li Zhi did not delay on the road, and went to the training camp under the reception of the officials of the Basketball Association that day, followed by reporters from major sports.

The officials of the Basketball Association have been more official in their reception of Li Zhi all the way, which makes Li Zhi very uncomfortable, but he is also an NBA star, what do you mean by this.

But then Li Zhi figured it out, and it seemed that he returned to the team too late, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.

This Olympic Games can be described as full of talents, such as Da Yao, UAE, Roughly, Sun Yue, Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei, Chen Jianghua, Zhang Qingpeng, and Li Zhi.

The point guard position of this lineup is abnormal, there are many talents, the second and third positions can ensure rotation, and there are three major interior lines on the inside, which are very strong no matter how you look at it.

And the arrival of Li Zhi, the outside ball will inevitably fall into the hands of Li Zhi, Li Zhi's scoring ability seems to be extremely strong, but Li Zhi, who lacks Anthony's star card, knows how many pounds and taels he has, and the outside organization is organized, relying on three points and speed to play and convert, but it is not very reliable for Li Zhi to go head-to-head with others like before.

The coach of the national team is Younas, and he is not clear about the changes in Li Zhi, and Li Zhi cannot say his own things, which makes the national team's tactics a great mistake.

There is nothing wrong with Li Zhi's report, there is harmony in the team, Yao Minghe is roughly there, the national team has the backbone, and everyone ended the initial exchange after a few simple joint exercises, there is not much time, and the warm-up game is close at hand.

……

Some people say that Iran has replaced South Korea and is the second strongest team in Asian men's basketball, which Li Zhi recognizes, because the interest of South Koreans seems to have shifted to the great cause of transferring China's ancient and modern things to their own families, and to continue to maintain the world's top level in cosmetic surgery.

Iran is different, Middle Eastern countries, everyone understands, it is very difficult to develop something, and it is even more difficult to make achievements, and sports should be the part that will not be suppressed by the United States, so from here, the Arab people can find self-esteem and self-confidence that they have not seen for a long time.

This is the same reason as before the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the national crisis was at the head, but the rulers still did not forget to send personnel to participate in the Olympic Games.

It's just that limited by the self-characteristics of the nation, almost all the energy of Iranian sports is focused on the men's event, so their football is good, at least stronger than our country, and their basketball is also very good.

Facts have proven that this is not a fiction. At the 2007 Asian Championships, Iran unexpectedly won the championship, while China did not even enter the top three.

That year's Asian Championship MVP was also an Iranian, and this man was called Hamad Haddadi. When it comes to the Iranian national team, this person must be mentioned, because he is the pillar of this team. Born in 85, Haddadi is not a few years older than Li Zhi, a native of Iran, with a height of 2.18 meters, which can be said to be the first out-and-out center outside the two major interior lines of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Haddadi made remarkable achievements in the CBA in the following years, but his reputation in the world basketball world is unlimited, far inferior to Yao Ming, Li Zhi, Yi Jianlian and others.

But Haddadi's strength should not be underestimated, Haddadi's flexible feet and soft hand feel are another freak in Asia after Yao Ming, and this year, Haddadi is only 23 years old.

According to domestic media publicity, Haddadi is just an enlarged version of Robert Horry, with various offensive abilities and can defend multiple positions, but his strength, speed and other aspects are unsustainable, and he has a faltering taste.

This statement is more pertinent, but not accurate, because Haddadi's pace seems to be slow, but it is not always like this, but it is limited to physical fitness, and it is impossible to maintain this rhythm for the whole time.

Overall, Haddadi's strengths can cover up his shortcomings, in a word, this man is very versatile.

But against China, when Haddadi met Yao Ming, his weakness was infinitely magnified - a lack of confrontation.

Outsiders' perception can't change Haddadi's status in the Iranian team, half of this team is his, and the other half belongs to Nick Khan, and in many cases, the two people together can get more than half of the Iranian team's points.

Nick Khan, whose full name is Muhammad Samad Nikk Khan, no one in the world knows this name, but if you talk about Bahrami, is there anyone who can have some influence on him?

The 25-year-old is only 1.90 meters tall, which means that most basketball players are not as tall as the players, but he is the best choice for the small forward position in the Iranian team.

Can shoot, can hold the ball, can break through, speed is not good, power is good, a lot of points come from jump shots, a small part from shots after confrontation under the basket, but the grasp is not very high.

Apart from these two, none of Iran's players are known to Chinese fans, and according to domestic selection standards, players like them are not even eligible to enter the professional team. But it is this kind of "amateur" team that has been very directly threatening the Asian hegemony of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Moreover, they have already succeeded once. Javad Davari, 25 years old, 1.80 meters, 76 kg, no height, no strength, only speed, it doesn't seem to be perverted fast, only one hand, that is, good at splitting the ball after the breakthrough, shooting is an obvious shortcoming, no confrontation ability...... This person is the leading point guard of the Iranian team.

Hamid Alfag Islami, 25 years old, 1.88.82 kilograms, still only has speed, the difference is that he is not only able to break through, but also good at catching and jumping after running empty-handed.

Speaking of which, Islami's only role is to score, and the only advantage is to be able to shoot, such a person grabs a lot in the country, but he is the main scoring guard of the Iranian team.

In addition, Kamrani, 26 years old, is 1.80 meters tall; Dawalpana, 21 years old, 1.90m tall; Zandi, 26 years old, 1.87 meters tall; Amini, 24 years old, 1.90 meters tall; Sahakian, 22 years old, 1.90 meters tall; Doraghi, 23 years old, 2.10 meters tall; Nabipur, 24 years old, 2.12m tall...... That's all 12 Iranians are on the squad for the Games.

They have identified all their players early, look at this team, can we find a lot of reasons for China to look down on them?

First of all, this is a Young Guard, the oldest is only 26 years old, to say that they have experience, who believes it? Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Secondly, except for the three generals on the inside, none of the other 9 people in the Iranian team is more than 1.90 meters tall.

Dwarf country, why bother?

In the end, even for the three Iranian insiders, in addition to Haddadi, who must have been deflated in front of Yao Ming, the other two, Doraghi is their starting power forward.

The only advantage is that he is suitable to partner with Haddadi, because he has a good long-range shooting ability, can pull out as much as possible, and leave the inside line to Haddadi to play; As for Nabipur, there is no detailed information, and the only reason for being selected for the national team is likely to be that he is tall enough, and Haddadi must also have a substitute.

How can such a team dare to come to my land of China to spread wild? The people of the Celestial Empire collectively despise it!

But this is such a rabble team at first glance, they are the Asian champions, and they slapped the Chinese team without Yao Ming in the face last year.

To be honest, when Li Zhi first saw the information about this team, it was difficult to associate them with the Asian champions.

Iran won the championship just last year, that is to say, this lineup is likely to be the original team of last year's champion team, none of them have changed, and the Chinese national team has not even had detailed information about all the players of the opponent who defeated their own championship team?

What is this? Despise? May I ask who should despise whom?
