The sun had just risen, and at half past five, Li Cheng came out of his dormitory on time. He lived in the same dormitory with Yao Ming and Liu Wei, but he didn't wake up with a small movement and didn't wake them up.

Li Cheng still follows his morning exercise habits in Indiana, and now everyone is closed in the training base, and Li Cheng goes directly to the training hall for morning exercise after getting up early.

Walking into the locker room, Li Wei wanted to find a cabinet where no one was there to put things, but he didn't expect Younas to help him keep the cabinet. His cabinet was next to Yao Ming's, and everything about his training clothes was neatly placed in the cabinet.

"I thought it would be a little more troublesome, but I didn't expect it to be ready." Li Cheng sighed in his heart.

Li Cheng followed the previous rhythm and did morning exercises. At half past seven, he was ready to finish his morning exercise and go to the cafeteria for breakfast. He remembered that Younas had told him last night that breakfast was half past seven.

Li Cheng is disdainful of the Chinese men's basketball team's death in setting the time limit. When he was with the Pacers, although everyone also practiced together during the playoffs, there was never a time for breakfast. Because the team has to take into account some players who get up in the morning to practice for themselves.

……

In the morning, when the team gathered for breakfast, Yao Ming and Liu Wei found that Li Cheng was gone, and everyone thought it was strange, and they couldn't find them everywhere, so they had to gather and go to the cafeteria first. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found Li Cheng eating breakfast.

An assistant coach named Yang Wei walked directly to Li Cheng's side and yelled: "The first day you came here, you were so unorganized and undisciplined, why are you still here?" This is the national team, not a kindergarten. ”

Li Cheng was drinking milk, looked at the middle-aged man with thin lips and half baldness, and ignored it.

Many people were waiting to see the excitement, but Li Cheng calmly drank the last sip of milk. Then he said indifferently: "If the organization and discipline that you want to follow can be transformed into the ability on the court, I will definitely abide by it." ”

"Basketball is a five-person sport, you know? It's not just you. If you have the ability, you can give us that gold medal by yourself! Yang Wei continued to shout.

Li Cheng stood up, looked down at Yang Wei, who was more than half a head shorter than him, and said: "If it is hard to stipulate that breakfast can be transformed into the combat effectiveness of the team, then from tomorrow, I will enter this door one second earlier, and I will apply to withdraw from the national team by myself." ”

Yao Ming knew that Li Cheng had the habit of morning exercise, and when he got up in the morning and saw that Li Cheng was not there, he had already guessed that this kid might go to morning exercise. Yes, he immediately came out to play the round.

Li Cheng got up in the morning and exercised in the morning. His diligence should be recognized. Yao Ming pulled Yang Wei away.

Yang Wei wanted to say something, but Li Cheng had already turned around and left, leaving Yang Wei with a big back of his head, "I'm done eating, I'll go to the training hall first." ”

"Humph! I'm going to report to the top and tell this kid to get out. ”

For Yang Wei, who is not a bird like Li Cheng, the players are very happy to watch. may be in this national team, only Li Cheng dares to show Yang Wei the back of his head.

Yao Ming looked coldly at Yang Wei, who was still angry, and shook his head helplessly. "Such a guy, except for making trouble. Nothing else, really. ”

At this time, Younas was holding a meeting with the coaches in the training hall to prepare for the morning training.

Because Li Cheng participated in training on the first day, Rotten Shoes deliberately adjusted this training session to an open training session. It is mainly convenient for fans and the media to come and see Li Cheng.

Lee Sung was also popular in Indiana, but he himself underestimated the fans and media who came to watch the training session.

Early in the morning, the men's basketball team's training base on the outskirts of the magic capital was surrounded by Chinese fans.

Some fans held posters of Li Cheng; Some held banners to cheer for Li Cheng; Some fans wore Li Cheng's jersey and waved autographs to ask for Li Cheng's autograph.

Because it's an open training. The team mainly did some physical training, as well as adaptive shooting drills.

Two hours later, the first training session ended. There is an event for players and fans to communicate.

Li Cheng became the most popular person in this event. He was surrounded by a large wave of fans, and Li Cheng patiently signed autographs with a faint smile on his face.

On the side, Yang Wei was looking for Younas to complain.

"This guy you've been asking for, unorganized and undisciplined, no matter how capable he is, he shouldn't be in the national team. The national team should not open the back door for him, which will play a very bad role for the players who will participate in the national team in the future. Yang Wei's saliva splashed up and down.

Younas listened to Yang Wei's complaints, without any expression on his face, and he said lightly: "If there are players who can score 60 points in their NBA rookie season in the future, can force the Celtics Big Three to tie seven, and can lead the team to sweep James, I think every head coach will leave him such a back door." ”

Yang Wei still wanted to speak, but Younas interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued: "And he got up at half past five in the morning to exercise in the morning, isn't it allowed for him to go to breakfast in advance after practice?" Players are diligent and shouldn't be encouraged? ”

As soon as Yang Wei opened his mouth, Younas blocked his words, "If you want to react to the top, you can go!" I won't stop you, it's just that I don't want to see you in the gym in the future. ”

Yang Weiqi's lips trembled, and he flicked his arms angrily and walked out of the training hall.

Younas looked at his back as he walked out, squinted his eyes, and muttered, "This guy with eyes on the top of his head has kicked the iron plate this time." ”

Younas dared to leave such a big back door for Li Cheng in the national team, how could he make a decision as a foreigner? There is the support of others behind it.

Yang Wei reflected to the "top", but this guy never appeared in the training base again. This is all for later, now the activities of public training in the training hall are continuing, Li Cheng signed the fans, and the reporters instantly surrounded him and started their mission today.

"Today is your first day of training for the national team, how do you feel?"

"It's my first time in the national team, and the big brothers in these national teams take very good care of me and I'm very happy here."

"Then what kind of results do you think this year, which is known as the strongest national team, can achieve in the Olympic Games?"

"The U.S. team is strong and he's going to be our biggest opponent at the Olympics. However, there is still a long way to go before the Olympic Games, and before that we have the Si Cup to play, and the Si Cup will have a very big impact on our vision of the Olympic goals. ”

"So what is your position in the national team?"

"I'm just a member of the group and I'm going to try to do the job that the coach has assigned to me."

Li Cheng's answer was very official, and he didn't want the media to know about his ambitions right now. Because in the magical country of China, if he says, "My goal is to win the championship." ”

He can guarantee that by the time reporters walk out of the door, his rhetoric will be magnified 10,000 times in the headlines of major media outlets. And he's not the core of this team yet, he's the least senior here. In this seniority country, his ability is not enough to support his position in this team, so if he says so, he will be isolated.

Li Cheng saw far away, and he was very clear about his positioning and goals. He is a person who wants to do his best no matter what he does. So ever since he agreed to go to the Olympics, his goal has been to win a gold medal on that top podium.

Li Cheng's goal is far away, and it is very difficult to achieve, so he must be careful to deal with any detail before this. After all, the devil is in the details.

The public training in the morning ended quickly, and many fans who came to see Li Cheng were still a little reluctant.

During the lunch break after lunch, Li Cheng did not rest in the room, he continued to soak in the training hall.

Li Zhanshen's desperate spirit began to bloom in the national team, and many old players who had a lot of criticism of him before, looking at Li Cheng's diligence, also let go of their prejudices in their hearts. However, before Li Cheng shows his strength, these older generation players will still not accept him in their hearts. And this training session in the afternoon will play a crucial role in Li Cheng's integration into the team.

For Lee Cheng to integrate into the team successfully, his teammates must understand his abilities. And the best way to thoroughly understand his abilities is to fight.

In the afternoon training session, it was no surprise to everyone, and Younas's arrangements were all confrontational training.

In the grouping of internal training, Li Cheng, Yao Ming, and Liu Wei were first placed in the same group. Not only because all three of them are Shanghainese, but also because these three will connect the inside and outside of the team.

Liu Wei is outside, Yao Ming is inside. The tacit understanding between these two men is well-known throughout the country.

In the past, many teams against the Chinese team would place a lot of manpower at the free throw line, the purpose of which was to cut the inside and outside of the Chinese pair.

Now Li Cheng's addition has helped the Chinese team regain the initiative in this position. As long as the inside and outside of the Chinese team can be connected into a line, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

In addition, Li Cheng's personal ability can also help the Chinese team increase its combat effectiveness a lot. So, in the first confrontation, Younas naturally put the three of them on a team.

As for Li Cheng and the rest of their team, he put Du Feng on this team and added another Wang Lei.

The other team is Zhang Qingpeng, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Zhizhi. This team is playing a small lineup.

The alignment of these two teams is the most exciting alignment in Chinese basketball in recent years.

Yao Ming has been fighting Wang Zhizhi again, Zhang Qingpeng and Liu Wei's first point guard for a long time. The other is the counterpoint between Li Cheng and Sun Yue or Zhu Fangyu.

The players in the first two groups are old opponents who have been fighting for many years, and the confrontation with Li Cheng is a confrontation to test Li Cheng's strength. (To be continued......)
