Chapter 5 Recruitment of the National Team

While the off-season has been enjoyable and easy for most of the players, many international players have a lot of games because they all have to play for the national team, such as Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Parker, Ginobili and Scola who play a lot for the national team almost every summer. In fact, the reason why Lin Fei's big brother Yao Ming retired so early is that Yao Ming has to play NBA games every year, and he, as the backbone of the national team, will play a lot of games for the national team every year, and finally suffered a stress fracture due to overwork. At least Lin Fei is still living a very fast life, he has been training in the United States, and he can often meet and talk to Avril, although the two have not yet specified their relationship, but they are also very sweet.

In fact, Lin Fei had a complex in his heart when he was a child, that is, to be able to play for the Chinese team. Don't know why? Even in the 2008 Olympic Games, Yao Ming was originally injured, and many doctors advised Yao Ming to recuperate, but Yao Ming still said that if he did not participate in the 2008 Olympic Games, it would be the biggest regret in his life, and he risked injury to catch up with the Olympic Games, and led the Chinese ball to the top 8, and in the game with the United States and Spain, he showed an unprecedented tenacious style. When people asked Yao Ming why he attached so much importance to the national team's games, Yao Ming said in a righteous way: because iamachineseplayer (I am first of all a Chinese player). Perhaps such ideas and practices have won Yao Ming the respect of the entire Chinese team. This approach makes some American players very incomprehensible, such as O'Neal and Duncan, sometimes refuse the call-up of the national team, and their fans also resist their rejection of the national team's call-up, and even in their minds, participating in the national team is not a great honor, sometimes even a false name, a drag. That's it, the Chinese cannot understand the Americans, and the Americans cannot read the Chinese. At present, Lin Fei's skills have reached the NBA level, and the national team would have been called up immediately, but there has been no clear news.

But there are a lot of people in China who are talking about it! It is said that the Chinese ball originally lacked good guards, and the guards have always been the Achilles heel of the Chinese men's basketball team on the way forward. The Chinese team has a lot of defenders, but there are almost no powerful ones, as the most critical piece of the puzzle in a team, poor combat effectiveness is undoubtedly fatal for the whole team. Look at what Liu Wei's level has become, and he is still starting, it is simply embarrassing in international competitions. In the 2008 Olympic Games, Sun Yue stood out and became a blockbuster, but in the following years, he searched for lanterns and did not find a decent one. But even so, Lin Fei was still not recruited, which couldn't help but make people very puzzled.

The national system implemented by the Chinese team generally cultivates a player from an early age. But Lin Fei, a player, can be a halfway monk, no one knew about it before, it seems that it was a string of reds overnight, and the national team didn't even have time to think about it last year (the efficiency was indeed a bit low), and Lin Fei entered the next season. Moreover, when the Chinese ball selects players, there is even a kind of "only high theory", this backward basketball theory is very deep-rooted in China, originally China valued tall people, ignoring short ones, especially Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and a group of masters went to the NBA, "only high theory" is even more rampant, Chinese basketball grassroots institutions have long listed tall people as key training objects, resulting in the selection of talents do not pick the best only choose the highest. When selecting basketball players, the height threshold has been set invisibly, and those children with unlimited potential but insufficient height have often been turned away, and Lin Fei may be one of the victims. Moreover, Lin Fei's physical fitness is not outstanding, and before he experienced the NBA, he didn't even experience any more systematic training, which is undoubtedly a big limitation. Therefore, it has always been difficult for the Chinese team to have a top guard, but Lin Fei's luck is that the American scout actually saw Lin Fei's unlimited potential at a glance and unexpectedly entered the NBA, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face to many of those who are responsible for selecting players.

Even now, many people have begun to pay attention to Lin Fei, and there are several very distinct factions.

One faction is of course against Lin Fei's selection, because the defender that the Chinese team needs now is not how good the player's individual strength is and how strong his scoring ability is, but more about whether he can help role players score, pass and organize skills.

The other type of person is undoubtedly that the most fundamental thing for the team to win is nothing more than scoring and preventing the opponent from scoring, Lin Fei can score and bring unprecedented attack power to the national team, which is enough.

There are also some ambiguities to say that the Chinese team is not a Warriors team after all, and Lin Fei may not be able to adapt to the Chinese team's system even if he is in the national team, because the Chinese ball has always been a team that attaches importance to interior offense, and mainly focuses on positional warfare, while the Warriors rely more on outside shooting, mainly playing speed and fast attack. If Lin Fei comes to the national team, it will be difficult for him to be famous without teammates like the Warriors and the space suitable for him to play. But if the national team can make appropriate adjustments to Lin Fei, it should be able to succeed.

What's even crazier is to support Lin Fei, their remarks are that as the player on the planet, who has the fastest dribbling speed, the most accurate shooting, and the strongest scoring ability, even as a mascot, he has to be put in the national team, which is a symbol. Moreover, such a player is left on the field and does not move,

Of course, the leader of the Chinese national team is also hesitant. There were even several meetings to discuss the matter. However, an insider has already called Lin Fei to explain the situation and let Lin Fei be prepared. In fact, Lin Fei was indescribably happy to be able to have someone say this to himself, at least he was hopeful. Being able to enter the national team is undoubtedly an affirmation of myself.

Many experts began to bring out Yao Ming's example, and they were afraid that this proud son of heaven would follow in Yao Ming's footsteps and be plagued by injuries. Since Yao Ming's tragic retirement, fans have changed color when they hear about injuries, although many people support the national team, but they are very afraid that their favorite players are too tired, and when they encounter injuries, the plot is often very complicated.

Knowing that the national team was discussing his own affairs, Lin Fei began to try to watch the recent game videos of the national team to facilitate the understanding of the national team's recent situation and tactics, and also prepare himself for entering the national team. I feel that the pace of the national team's game is too slow, and it is easy to see the shortcomings of the national team's attack and the flaws in defense every time. Lin Fei was also secretly frightened, in the past, when watching the national team games, he often felt that level was out of reach, and even incomprehensible, but after two years of polishing in the NBA, now watching the national team games, his reading ability is obviously much stronger than before.

The Chinese Basketball Association is actually more inclined to recruit Lin Fei into the national team, but there are many factors that are really difficult to grasp. For example, Lin Fei did not enjoy the special training of the state, and it is not easy to manage, think about it! Yao Ming's food expenses at that time were a lot more than those of ordinary people, and then look at Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, which player who can enter the NBA has not been fully trained by the country, but Lin Fei is not, this kid seems to have worked hard by himself, and he actually has enough reasons to refuse the call of the national team. In the end, Xin Lancheng, director of the basketball management center, made a decision, no matter what, it is absolutely necessary for Lin Fei to enter the national team, at least for the national team to train guards in the future, there is too much experience to learn from him.

That's it!
