"This is the stadium of the CBA Qingdao team? It's no worse than an NBA arena! Are we training here? Cruel! Liu Ren didn't expect that Deputy Director Lin would bring him to a gymnasium sponsored by a treasure in Qingdao with NBA-level facilities and training grounds.

Of course, the basketball management center only rented the basketball training court and entertainment area, but it was still very domineering, and it was too atmospheric to rent the university's field training with a small family in the past.

In the past, the national team trained in universities, but most universities in China did not even have indoor basketball halls.

But at that time, there weren't many guys in the national team who could be called stars in terms of strength, it was all a bunch of guys with stronger tempers than strength, giving them a Barclays center and a small park for them to train, most of them were the same.

Before 2008, Yao Ming was relatively good when he was still playing in the national team, and there were several veterans pressing, but after Yao Ming retired in 2010, the training of the national team was called a wonderful, and the coach who won the runner-up in the World Championships could be forced to become a "parallel coach", and then the top three in Asia could not enter, the penultimate in the 2012 Olympic Games, the right to participate in the first Basketball World Cup in 2014 was not obtained, and the wild card game was not won.

During this year's anti-tiger operation, Cheng Lanxin was taken away by the public security organs, and Yao Ming came to power and re-invited the Greek coach Patti Ioannakis back from his leisure.

Liu Ren took Yao Ming's "special car" to a treasure gymnasium in Qingdao, where the famous coach Patti Ioannakis and some unknown assistant coaches and staff were already waiting at the entrance of the stadium, as well as many police officers and reporters.

The news of Liu Ren's return to the team today was released a few days ago, and a large number of reporters were already waiting here early this morning, braving the big sun to wait for Liu Ren to come.

In addition to these reporters, there are also more and more fans, Liu Ren did not accept the interview, and followed Yanakis directly into the stadium.

Coach Giannakis is a very good coach, the coaching level is not to say, the runner-up coach of the 06 World Championships, led the team to defeat the American team with Duncan and James, and in the summer of 14 when the Chinese men's basketball team with that group of pig-like players, even if those players did not listen to the tactical arrangement, he still did not give up.

It's a pity that those players are uncles, and Popovich will be angry to death when he comes to bring them.

On the way to the training ground, Giannakis and Liu Ren talked about something related to the Chinese men's basketball team, which probably means that everything in this national team revolves around Liu Ren, and all tactics serve Liu Ren first.

Although he now has the right to choose players for the Chinese men's basketball team, if he has a conflict with Liu Ren, no one can keep his coaching position, and being able to coach the best players in the world is what he dreams of.

"Boss, I guarantee that you have enough freedom on the court, you can make changes according to the actual situation when you are on the court, and you will have the same freedom as you did with the Lakers......"

Giannakis was telling Liu Ren about Liu Ren's status on this team, but Liu Ren directly interrupted him.

"Patty, you don't have to be so accommodating to me, let's put it this way, if you do accommodate me, then you can let me defend the best players of the other side, and on the offensive end you can play the tactics that you think are suitable for our team, and I want to win, not the ball."

Seeing that Liu Ren did not have a trace of falsification, he is indeed the kind of player who wants to win, and the current team captain Yi Jianlian is the same kind of person, Giannakis is very excited, if Liu Ren also firmly supports him, he can show all his talent as a world-class coach without fear.

If even a superstar like Liu Ren is willing to work hard to defend the opponent's best player, then what reason is there for others to be lazy?

Soon they walked into the training ground, where training was in full swing.

Only Liu Rencai arrived on the day of the training camp, and the others had already started training at the beginning of the month.

Liu Ren walked in and drew all eyes to him, and there was no doubt that Liu Ren was the center of attention here, one of the best players in the world, a top five superstar in the NBA, and he was the focus everywhere he went.

Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Zhou Qi, and Wang Zhelin came over to greet Liu Ren, but the others did not dare to come over, but continued to train and secretly looked here.

"Hello boss, I'm Yi Jianlian, just call me UAE." After Yi Jianlian finished saying this, he held back for a long time and did not follow.

Yi Jianlian played in the NBA in the last year of the 2011-2012 season, and averaged 14+8 per game in several consecutive games as a substitute in the Mavericks, but he was injured when he was just playing his value, and then he did not have as good a chance to come back from injury as before the injury, and the playing time became a loss, and then gradually faded out.

In Liu Ren's opinion, Yi Jianlian must have the ability to be a good substitute in the NBA, but he just can't get along in the NBA, and a very important point is his personality, which is too shy.

Liu Ren himself is also very homely, but he is never shy, he jokes with his teammates and the media at two ends for three days, and he is also a small driver who often drives when chatting.

And Yi Jianlian has been the core of the Nets for two years, according to his starting partner Harris, he and Yi Jianlian have been teammates for two years, and they have never gone out to play in private, and they rarely speak, only know that they train alone with their heads bored, and sometimes there is no difference between having this teammate and not having this teammate.

Now Liu Ren finally felt Harris's feelings, Yi Jianlian was already the captain of the national team, and then ...... Still silent, I said hello and had nothing to say.

At this time, the big brother Liu Wei could only go on his own.

"Ah Ren? I'm Liu Wei, it's okay to call you like that, right? Haha, I'm more than a teenager than you, so I'll take advantage of you, we are both surnamed Liu, you can just call me Brother Wei......" Liu Wei is what it looks like to be a captain, and a few words pulled the relationship in, and the embarrassing atmosphere brought by Yi Jianlian dissipated.

"Of course you can, by the way, Brother Wei, can you really make people stronger as advertised?" Liu Ren teased decisively.

“……”

"Hahahaha......"

Liu Wei's expression was completely embarrassed, and the others finally couldn't help laughing, when Liu Wei asked Liu Ren to call him Brother Wei, everyone began to hold back laughter, and then Liu Ren drove directly, and finally couldn't help it.

At this time, people realized that NBA superstars and their CBA players seem to be no different! Aren't they all as cold as Yi Jianlian, no, aren't they all driving the same cars......

Liu Wei gives Liu Ren the feeling that he is a very good leader, his strength is not world-class, and he is just right to face many new generation point guards in the CBA, but he is a well-deserved first person among the older generation of point guards in China, he can see the reality very clearly, the so-called old qualifications are no longer popular in these years, so he no longer plays big names, and because of his tournament experience, Giannakis will keep him.

Sun Yue has followed Marbury to win three consecutive championships in the Beijing team, becoming the first NBA and CBA double champion in basketball history, his strength is okay, his personality is relatively cheerful, and his impression of Liu Ren is not bad, he should be one of the rotation members of the national team, and he will definitely be able to enter the 12-man squad.

After greeting everyone for a while, everyone trained separately, and the plan given by the coaching staff to Liu Ren was to find a few players with better strength to train alone with Liu Ren, that is, to be a sparring partner for Liu Ren, but it was not decided yet, so let Liu Ren find a place to practice or play games on his mobile phone.

I haven't played for a long time, Liu Ren's hands are also itchy, he took off his suit and asked a staff member for a set of training clothes, and after a simple warm-up, he came to an empty wall and began to practice dribbling and passing.

This is the way Liu Ren learned from Nash to practice dribbling and passing, this is an advanced version of training, ordinary dribbling training can no longer make Liu Ren's dribbling ability to improve, around the chair, barricades these dead things ordinary practice has no effect on Liu Ren, now Liu Ren has to practice the ball hit the ground and accurately bounce to the designated direction, practice is more than a meter away from the wall, hit the ground and bounce to the designated point on the wall.

Of course, it's not enough to bounce in the designated direction, after bouncing to the wall, you also need the ball to bounce back in front of you, so that you can receive the ball and continue to dribble, dribble and hit the ground and bounce back to the wall......

Keep repeating, keep repeating, at the beginning ten times out of ten are failed to bounce, and then slowly one or two times can succeed, Liu Ren has practiced countless times, and now he can practice at a normal speed with few failures, the practice is very smooth, and he begins to enter the accelerated practice stage.

Speaking of which, Liu Ren's dribbling moves are very good-looking, and when practiced smoothly, it looks as good as dancing.

The members of the national training team were all in order to come up, and everyone's eyes were on Liu Ren, and everyone was stunned when they saw his gorgeous dribbling, the ball moved on both sides of his body, under his crotch, and on the wall under the operation of his ten fingers.

Eh, is this the dribbling ability of NBA players?

Liu Ren has never been known for ball control in the NBA, and even when he first entered the NBA, ball control could only be regarded as an average level, breaking through by body, strong eating under the basket by strength, and middle and long distance by dry pulling.

These three points are people's summary of Liu Ren's way of playing, and they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because Liu Ren's style of play is too violent, and even three points can be elbow higher than the opponent, giving people the feeling of relying on their bodies to do all over the world.

None of them expected that Liu Ren's dribbling would be so good!

When the coaching staff discussed which people to arrange for Liu Ren to be a sparring partner, they came out and saw that all the 30 or so members of the training team had gathered together and watched Liu Ren dribble in amazement.

Yanakis secretly screamed badly and slapped himself on the forehead, he felt that the self-confidence of this group of domestic players must be lost by Liu Ren.

Just by dribbling, you can see how big the difference in strength is!

The thud of the ball on the wall, the force is completely incomparable to the domestic players, and the control of the ball is so gorgeous under this kind of force, although it may not look as fancy as those street players, but the players on the scene are all professionals, and they understand very well that those street players are all fancy, such as Liu Ren's pass on the wall, if it is when he is head-to-head with the street player, he passes the ball directly over like this, and it is estimated that the fingers of those street ball players will be broken!

"Cool! It's too strong! With the boss, we have a chance to make it to the finals! ”

"That's right! We've finally got another superstar! We're sure we're in the top eight! ”

"No, with luck, the top four are possible! We can't do it in Spain and the United States, but we are not false in the other teams, just one less superstar! ”

“……”

“……”

The members of the national training team were all gossiping.

This made Yannakis stunned just now for leaving Liu Ren here alone, as if the group of young people in front of him were cheering? I don't understand it, but it doesn't seem like my morale has been hit!

On the contrary, it seems that everyone has more fighting spirit!
