Walking out of the gate of Baiyun Airport, Ye Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath, he didn't have much impression of this land anymore. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when I saw my compatriots with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin like myself, and my ears were also noisy but clear Mandarin, a sense of intimacy arose.

This year, the Chinese men's basketball team did not have many warm-up games before the Olympic Games, and the preparation lineup has shrunk a lot compared with previous years, but the quality of the warm-up games has been greatly improved. Deng Huade did not ask Ye Feng to participate in the previous warm-up game, but let him rest for a while in Los Angeles and come directly to Guangzhou to participate in the Stankovic Cup. After the Sri Lankan Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team's warm-up game before the Olympics was only against Poland on July 22.

In order to be able to practice with his teammates of the national team as soon as possible, Ye Feng did not delay, and after staying at the hotel where the national team was staying accompanied by the officials of the Basketball Association who came to pick up the airport, he drove to the Tianhe Sports Center to meet the national team after a short rest. Although Ye Feng can be said to be the biggest star of the entire Chinese men's basketball team, he is not willing to leave a bad impression of pampering and arrogance to the head coach and teammates, and it is more important than anything else to start running in as soon as possible.

Deng Huade was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Feng come to report, although there are more or less active NBA players in the teams participating in the Olympic Games, but there are few young Ye Feng who has won two championships and FMVP. Obviously, the team must take Ye Feng as the core, Deng Huade doesn't want to tell others about his qualifications, Ye Feng's honor is here, he firmly believes that in order to make a breakthrough, Ye Feng must be the tactical core of the whole team.

Of course, he can't be stubborn at the beginning and ask everyone to obey Ye Feng's deployment, although there are no thorns in the players selected for this national team, and they are also very in awe of Ye Feng, but if Ye Feng wants to win the right to speak, he still has to use his performance to conquer his teammates.

Deng Huade's method is very simple, after the end of the team's training session, he asked the staff to clear the field, politely invited reporters from major media to play, and then arranged an intra-team match, the main team VS the substitute, but he deliberately put Ye Feng on the substitute side, and designated him to control the ball.

At the beginning, the cooperation of the substitute side was very rusty, and he was defeated in front of the main lineup led by Yi Jianlian, and was beaten 11-2 in less than 2 minutes. But soon Ye Feng gradually figured out the path of his teammates, and the organization of the attack began to become handy, and under his instigation, the substitute side played a blood-boiling running bomb. Ye Feng yelled at his teammates while controlling the ball, directing them to run to the right position, and the tactical system actually worked very well.

Soon the substitutes in turn suppressed the main team, and both offensive and defensive ends were remarkable. Since Deng Huade set the game to be only 24 minutes in the whole game, there were only 12 minutes in the half. But in those 12 minutes, the bench team took a large 32-18 lead, and the rest of the coaching staff was dumbfounded.

After a short break, Deng Huade changed Ye Feng to the main team, and let Zhu Fangyu, who had some overlap with him, go to the substitute team. As a result, the main team played more violently under Ye Feng's mobilization, Yi Jianlian dunked three times in 4 minutes, and the main team actually scored a total of 41 points in the 12 minutes of the second half, which had never happened before, and more importantly, as the second place in the NBA regular season scoring list last season, Ye Feng actually did not make a single shot.

Everyone was shocked at this time, especially the players of the main team who surrounded them and asked this and that excitedly. There is no way, they played too well when Ye Feng organized the offense, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Feng is now a rising star in the NBA, they even have the urge to let the team owner sign someone quickly.

With this training match as the foundation, Deng Huade announced that Ye Feng would become the tactical core of the team, and basically no one objected, but everyone's eyes lit up, hoping to let Ye Feng continue to organize the attack. In Deng Huade's view, with Ye Feng on the court, two scoring guards can be sent to the backcourt, anyway, the stronger the team's firepower, the better, so that Ye Feng can have more points to the ball, and the team's offense will also rise a few notches.

After a few days of joint training, the strong Chinese men's basketball team welcomed the remaining three teams participating in the Stankovic Cup in Guangzhou, namely Australia, Tunisia and Russia. However, it is a pity that among these three teams, in addition to Tunisia, Russia and Australia are all second teams, and the team is full of many rookie players, presumably to see the world, but the Chinese men's basketball team did not despise the opponent, but took out 12 points of effort to play this Stankovic Cup.

On their own turf, the Chinese men's basketball team has shown a very high level, beating all three games in the group stage, winning an average of 18.3 points per game, although the opponent's strength is not very strong, but being able to play such a score is of great help to the self-confidence of the Chinese team. In the championship and runner-up finals, China defeated Australia 70-51 to win the championship, and Yi Jianlian won the MVP with an average of 28.3 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.

However, in the eyes of insiders, the MVP should be awarded to Ye Feng, who put on the national team jersey for the first time, although he averaged "only" 12.3 points per game, he had to grab 8.5 rebounds and hand out 13.1 assists, which was even more valuable to the Chinese team than Yi Jianlian. In the post-game interview, Yi Jianlian also affirmed Ye Feng's status in the team and the strong strength he showed, and said that if it weren't for Ye Feng, it would be impossible for him to average nearly 30 points per game.

Ye Feng is not particularly eager for the MVP of the Stankovic Cup, this is the strategy he set for himself before participating in the national team, the game is mainly to mobilize teammates, and he will not open the scoring mode unless he has to, anyway, he just needs the final championship.

After playing the Stankovic Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team took a break and flew to Poland on July 20 for the last warm-up game before the Olympic Games. In this warm-up game, both sides played very relaxed, the scene was quite harmonious, and Ye Feng only played 20 minutes to deliver 17 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, helping the Chinese men's basketball team win another warm-up game. Then it's time to set off for London.

This is the first Olympic trip of the Chinese men's basketball team in the post-Yao Ming era, although they played well in the warm-up game, but no one believes that they can score in the top eight of the Olympics again, Ye Feng is scoffing at this statement, he knows what the strength of the team he is in, if he plays well, he may be able to create a more shocking miracle than in the past.
