Liu Su's physical data frightened head coach Dale Harris, such physical data should not appear in a yellow person at all, this is not racial discrimination, but a fact. Yellow people are congenitally inferior to Caucasians in terms of physique, and Caucasians are worse than blacks, and this data is a terrifying data for a black person, not to mention that Liu Su is still a yellow person!
In view of this data, Harris also decided to give Liu Su a chance, if his basketball skills only need to reach the level of ordinary players in the CBA, and this perverted body is also a good killer.
Liu Su was left in the basketball base to train with the national team, and as a result, Liu Su's basketball skills surprised everyone. Such a perverted body should belong to a player who eats by his body, but Liu Su is a player who eats by technology, especially shooting, almost no dead ends, and basically enters his range after half time, he can shoot two meters away from the three-point line, and the shooting rate is super high, the chance to reach 80% when no one is defending, and more than half of them are defended, which is simply a scoring machine.
And his defense is also very good, he has the ability to help defend and shoot, and the most important thing is that he has a good vision, as long as his teammates are open, he can basically pass the ball over, and he has the talent of a good point guard.
Harris's love for Liu Su can be seen by everyone, who doesn't like such a baby. More importantly, Liu Su is not an active registered athlete, and the bureaucratic practices of the basketball association have little influence on him, which can give Harris room to carve.
Liu Su does have room to rise, his basketball skills are mostly learned from physical education teachers, which belongs to the level of two brushes, but his super touch and passing vision allow him to have his current skills, as for the rest, they are basically achieved by relying on his perverted body.
After a month of training, Liu Su's defensive ability has been greatly improved, except for being too short, his skills in other aspects have surpassed those of other defenders. And the offensive skills have matured a lot, the shooting options have improved a lot, and I know how to avoid defense and use confrontation. The tactical understanding is also excellent, and can play some simple combinations with other people.
At the end of May, Yao Ming returned from the United States. The Rockets lost to the Lakers 1:4 in the playoffs, and Yao Ming rested for more than ten days and immediately reported to the national team.
Yao Ming was also curious about Liu Su's existence, and when he learned about Liu Su's experience, he encouraged him.
In July, the members of the national team were basically decided. Center No. 13 Yao Ming, No. 14 Battle, No. 11 Yi Jianlian, forward No. 10 Li Nan, No. 8 Zhu Fangyu, No. 9 Zhang Jinsong, No. 15 Du Feng, No. 7 Chen Ke, defender No. 5 Liu Wei, No. 6 Zhang Yunsong, No. 4 Guo Shiqiang, No. 12 Liu Su.
After the 12-man roster was confirmed, Harris discussed with assistant coach Younas and determined the starting lineup: C Yao Ming, PF Yi Jianlian, SF Li Nan, SG Zhu Fangyu, PG Liu Wei. This lineup is a lineup that ensures that Yao Ming can be opened, Yao Ming attacks the basket, he and Liu Wei are both from the Shanghai team, and they are familiar with each other until how to cooperate. Yi Jianlian has the ability to shoot from a distance and can open up space to create opportunities for Yao Ming, and Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu are currently the strongest old men in the national team.
The substitute is also divided into two lineups, when Liu Su is on the lineup, it is best to be a scoring expert in all the shots, and it is best to have a certain defensive ability, and when Liu Su is not on the lineup, he must be on the normal lineup.
In the arrangement of Harris and Younas, Liu Su is a strange soldier, because he has never played in an international match, so other countries don't know his level, and he will definitely be able to give them a disadvantage when the time comes.
The Olympic schedule was announced as early as 03, and the next time is to find opponents to video study and do simulated confrontations. Spain and Argentina both have stars playing in the NBA, Spain's Pau Gasol and Argentina's Ginobili are all stars who are about the same fame as Yao Ming, and they are both easy to find videos, but other people's videos are not so easy to find.
Eventually, some footage was found through the relationship between Harris and Younas to be able to study.
In this way, the men's basketball team trained until the start of the Olympics before flying to Greece with other athletes. Liu Su went abroad for the first time and was very curious about foreign countries, but athletes had to live in the Olympic Village, and they were disciplined and could not walk around.
On August 15, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in its first opponent, the Spanish team with Gasol.
Spain's squad, manager: Javier Imbroda. Forwards: Gasol, Liengai, Navarro, Rodriguez, Rehes, Espinosa, Palaiso Gonzalez, Lopez Morist. Defenders: Jimenez, Vazquez, Cabanhaas, Gavajosa Chaparro
