Chapter 128: Departure to the United States

After the final of the Stankovic Cup with the French team, Ye Minghao's name was once again active in the headlines of major sports sections in China. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The all-round performance of 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists in the finals was amazing, and what was even more surprising was the connection between him and Yi Jianlian, which became an important factor for the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the French team that night.

Together, the French team can hardly make an effective containment. Basically, it was to press the gourd and raise the scoop to restrain Yi Jianlian, and Ye Minghao over there would be a threat, and Yi Jianlian would start to play if he restricted Ye Minghao.

Throughout the game, the French team failed to limit the connection between the two very well.

After the Stankovic Cup, there are new expectations for the Olympic journey of the men's basketball team.

After last year's competition, after returning to the top of Asia, coupled with the emergence of new star Ye Minghao, everyone is undoubtedly looking forward to this national team.

However, it is only one Stankovic Cup, and the opponents are all the strength of the second team of the rest of the national team except Nigeria, so there is nothing to say about winning.

Therefore, there are still many people who question Ye Minghao's strength, after all, the Stankovic Cup is just an international warm-up match, and the opponent's strength is limited. They were still very skeptical about Ye Minghao's true strength.

But no matter what, at least it's much better than his seniors and teammates. After all, they are all the same opponents, and the performance of others is even worse than him.

After the Stankovic Cup, the national men's basketball team will prepare for the Central European Championship, which will be held in Kunshan.

There are three opponents in total, and the game is also a warm-up game.

And after these three warm-up games, the national men's basketball team will fly to the United States to play two warm-up games with the basketball hegemon United States!

When Ye Minghao learned the news, he was undoubtedly excited and a little nervous in his heart. Even a little excited!

Being able to play against a behemoth like the U.S. and play against the world's top strikers is undoubtedly a very important experience for him personally.

After all, he is determined to enter the NBA in the future, and this experience can make him realize how far he is from that stage.

Only by understanding where the gap lies, can we have enough motivation to change and make up for it.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of July 15, the first game of the China-Europe men's basketball competition was played between China and Montenegro.

Because of Ye Minghao, the audience was much larger than expected. Everyone wants to see the magic of this sudden rise of the national team.

After the whole game, the Chinese team had a great advantage, Ye Minghao didn't play much, more passed to assist his teammates, and played his organizational advantages.

In the end, after the whole game, China defeated the opponent 65:49 Montenegro with a 16-point advantage.

After the game, Ye Minghao was interviewed by reporters, among whom a reporter asked, "I heard that you have been invited by some top professional teams in China, and I hope you can join them, I don't know what you think?" ”

Ye Minghao responded calmly, "Now for me, what is more important is the national team's game, and these things will be considered after the national team's game is over." ”

This is indeed Ye Minghao's idea, after the Stankovic Cup, many team managers called him, and even scouts and agents came to visit him, clearly expressing their desire to join him.

Ye Minghao all thought about waiting for the national team to play after the game before thinking about shirking it.

On July 16, at the same time, the second match of the China-Europe competition began.

The opponent is the German men's basketball team, which is naturally not the main force of the German team, Nowitzki is not there, which makes Ye Minghao very regretful, but the German men's basketball team has not qualified for the Rio Olympics, and this kind of warm-up game is unlikely to meet Nuo Tianwang.

This made Ye Minghao's desire to fight with his opponent frustrated, and he could only look forward to the future, if Nuo Tianwang hadn't retired at that time......

German basketball is not as good as their football, and the Chinese men's basketball team has always been ahead of the opponent throughout the game, and finally the Chinese team has won two consecutive victories.

Ye Minghao performed on the offensive end in this game, but I don't know if Gong Luming didn't play much time in this game out of consideration for honing the lineup.

On July 17, the final match of the China-Europe Confrontation began against the French team, which can be regarded as an old rival.

In this game, the French team learned the lessons of the last game and tried their best to limit Ye Minghao's play, but Yi Jianlian made a big move, scored 31 points, and defeated the opponent again.

won three consecutive victories in the Sino-European confrontation.

After this game, the Chinese team will fly to the United States to participate in two warm-up matches against the American team.

The first warm-up match will be played on the morning of the 25th. In this game, almost no one can be optimistic that the Chinese team can win, and everyone is hotly discussing the ugly question of how many points to lose and how not to lose.

After all, the opponent is the hegemon of world basketball - the United States team.

In the match between China and the United States, the Chinese team lost all the records, and the best record was that the BJ Olympic Games in 08 only lost by 31 points, which was the lowest point difference between China and the United States.

The Chinese team lineup that year was also the strongest in the history of the national team, far from being comparable to the current national team lineup, even so, it still lost 31 points, which shows how big the gap between the strength of the two sides is.

So these two warm-up games are more about learning attitudes.

After arriving in the United States, Ye Minghao felt the strong basketball atmosphere and advanced basketball training content in this country, and deeply felt the gap between the two in all aspects. Not only the strength on the court, but also the training technology and basketball concept behind it are also lagging behind.

However, the more this is the case, Ye Minghao's heart has a strong fighting spirit, he is originally the kind of player who performs better in the more difficult and harsh environment.

It is only in the confrontation with strong opponents that he can tap into his potential. Pushing himself to the next level, he's desperate to take on strong opponents.

These two warm-up games with the U.S. team are the best opportunity to test yourself.

On July 25, at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles, the Chinese team will start the first warm-up game with the star-studded American team.

Ye Minghao and they stepped into the stadium, they felt a hot wave in their noses, this season in California is the season of sunshine, coupled with the fanatical atmosphere and inner tension, Ye Minghao felt that his palms were sweating.

Walking out of the players' tunnel, I saw the opposite U.S. team warming up at a glance. Although there were no full players, judging from the expressions on the faces of the American team present, they were all very relaxed.

It's all about enjoyment.

"Relax. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Yi Jianlian patted Ye Minghao on the shoulder, and he saw the sweat oozing from the nervousness on the faces of his little teammates.

Ye Minghao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it for a long time.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly, "I can't do it, I'm still very nervous." ”

Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Then enjoy the game, after the game starts, you won't be nervous soon." ”

Before the start of the official match, both sides were warming up before the game.

Both sides are relaxed, the American team is no pressure, the Chinese team is also pressure-free, the American team is: win? Not a big problem. The Chinese team is: the question of winning? Not too. The audience also came with the intention of enjoying the performances of the stars.

For them, the outcome of this game is very obvious, it is just a matter of whether the process is exciting or not.
