Chapter 218: Belonging

At this time, Younas was really afraid that the Serbs would boycott the game, so the matter would be a big problem. But fortunately, the Serbian team did not strike the game, and they still finished the game.

After all, after this matter is big, it will not benefit anyone. The newly reorganized Serbian team is still counting on them to get a better result in the Olympics! So at this time, they are also afraid of making things bigger.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Serbian team 72-68 in this game. After all, neither team was happy to play again in the last minute, they didn't want to play on the field anymore, and they both looked forward to the end of the game as soon as possible.

After the game, Yiqiē became very sloppy, and soon the players returned to their hotel.

However, fans feel that this game is completely worth the ticket price, after all, this game not only saw Li Cheng's beautiful shots, but also saw a live PK battle with extremely violent output.

The first match of the Si Cup ended in victory for the Chinese team, but in the end, the focus of the media was not on the result of this game, but on the full martial arts staged in this game.

The next day, Younas directly refused all media interviews and directly began closed training on the grounds that "the team is under a lot of pressure to prepare for the Olympics".

Younas is training behind closed doors, and nothing from the outside world can disturb the players of the Chinese team.

After the morning match, Li Cheng was still practicing while everyone was resting.

The more Li Cheng practiced, the more irritable he became, and he couldn't get back the feeling of shooting three points in the last game.

"Bang!" Another iron strike, and a basket of balls next to Li Cheng was thrown, but his shooting rate was still outrageously low.

At this time, the ball that Li Cheng had just thrown rolled right at his feet. Li Cheng kicked the ball out irritably, and the ball smashed against the wall and bounced backwards, just as Li Nan caught it.

Li Nan dribbled the ball to Li Cheng's side and said, "Actually, don't be so anxious. ”

Li Cheng opened his mouth. I wanted to speak, but in the end I didn't say it. He can't sue Li Nan, he is to complete the task of the "top of the basketball system"!

"You calm down and then try." Li Nan said.

"But when I'm outside the three-point line, I can't get the ball to the basket, and I can't find the feeling of shooting a two-pointer here." Li Cheng said with a little distress.

Since he was a child, his three-point shot was not accurate, but at that time he liked to shoot three-pointers. Over time, it has left a psychological shadow. This is something that Li Cheng himself did not expect. By the time he found out, it seemed a little late!

"In this way, you run, I will pass the ball to you, and you will shoot directly after receiving my pass, this is no problem!" Li Nan thought about it and finally said.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Li Nan picked up the ball, and then Li Cheng started running. Li Nan passed the ball to him.

At the beginning, wherever Li Cheng ran, Li Nan's ball was passed!

There is no doubt that Li Cheng's range of running is completely concentrated within the three-point line.

And to the back. Li Cheng needs to follow Li Nan's pass and run. Slowly, Li Cheng's heart calmed down, and his heart slowly immersed himself in the training of shooting.

At this time, Li Nan began to mobilize Li Cheng's running distance in a larger range. Unconsciously. Li Cheng's run has come to the outside of the three-point line.

A top shooter like Li Cheng, he doesn't need to look at the basket at all, and he can shoot the ball just by feeling. This is a plus. However, in his three-point shooting practice, this turned out to be a hindrance for him.

But under Li Nan's passing, Li Cheng actually shot a lot of three-pointers during this period of time, and the shooting rate was very impressive. Later, Li Cheng's three-point shooting rate made Li Nan also startled.

"As long as this kid overcomes his psychological barriers, his three-point shot can become a big killer for the Chinese team in the Olympics." Li Nan secretly said in his heart, and at the same time decided that he must help Li Cheng completely overcome the psychological barrier to three-point shooting before the Olympics.

Later, Li Nan began to pass the ball in a wider range, and Li Cheng's running range became larger and larger. Later, his shooting was one step away from the three-point line, but his shooting percentage was still impressive.

"It's almost like the three-point line in the NBA, and with his shooting percentage, he can be a good three-point shooter in the NBA. The pinnacle he can reach in the future is really unimaginable. Li Nan was also shocked in his heart.

At this time, Li Cheng had already scored three hundred balls, and Li Nan reminded loudly: "It's almost this morning, let's go have a meal, and then go back and rest!" ”

Li Cheng went to eat with Li Nan, and then said, "Brother Nan, you go back first!" I'll practice for a while. ”

Li Nan was a little embarrassed, and then he finally realized that any success is not for no reason, just with Li Cheng's diligence, if he doesn't succeed, who else can succeed?

Li Cheng is now the hardest training person in the whole team, and at this time, he even has to train himself again, Li Nan is really worried that this kid will collapse his body.

Li Nan wanted to remind, but didn't say anything. Li Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Nan, you are worried about my body!" Actually, you don't need to worry, I practiced harder than this when I was in the NBA! ”

"Oh well! You can count it yourself, and I will accompany you to continue practicing. Li Nan said.

"No, Brother Nan, I can do it myself."

How dare Li Nan let Li Cheng practice by himself? He finally mobilized Li Cheng's three-point feeling, how could he let Li Cheng destroy this feeling that he had built up so hard?

In the afternoon, before the team's concentrated training, Li Nan accompanied Li Cheng to score 300 goals.

When the two of them were resting, Li Nan warned: "I am not here for you kid, don't practice by yourself." When you're going to practice three-point shooting, you have to call me, you know? ”

Li Cheng said casually: "Brother Nan, it's not so troublesome, I'll just practice it myself." ”

Li Nan glared at Li Cheng, the momentum that belonged to the soldier was so suffocated that Li Cheng's breath paused, and he said helplessly: "Okay!" Brother Nan, I'll just call you. ”

"Hmm!" Li Nan smiled and said, "Actually, you are a very talented player, in China, I have never seen a more talented child than you!" ”

Li Cheng shook his head and said: "Actually, with a population of 1.3 billion in China, it is impossible not to find talented players. ”

Li Nan sighed helplessly: "Why don't I know? Who doesn't know that? But the more people, the more ordinary people, how to find those real geniuses? ”

"Actually, it's not impossible! It's just that the current material selection scheme is really problematic. ”

"These things are not our business, our task now is to play the Olympics well and breathe a good breath in front of the villagers and elders." Li Nan clenched his fists and said, "This year is really a godsend!" ”

Li Cheng looked at Li Nan, and Li Nan continued: "The Olympic Games are held at home, and this year's national team is so strong. You and Da Yao are the best players in the world. The two of you, one inside and one outside, can definitely inflict unimaginable damage on all opponents. This year is our chance, even if we try our best, we won't hold you two back, we must attack the medal this time. ”

"Brother Nan, it's not as strict as you say." Li Cheng smiled bitterly.

Li Nan said very strictly: "There is such a strict zhòng, you don't know." was roughly delayed in China for two years, and his life was ruined. If he had gone to the NBA two years earlier, maybe he would be China's Nowitzki! ”

"Also, Da Yao has been dragged down by us in the national team in recent years." Li Nan smiled bitterly and said, "I am a great country in the Heavenly Empire, and after so many years, I finally produced a top center, but there was no one to pass the ball to this top center, don't you say it's ironic?" We're fine in Asia, but on the world stage, it's so difficult for us to get the ball across half the pitch, let alone pass it, in the face of those foreigners. ”

Saying that, Li Nan smiled again: "But now that you have appeared, we finally don't have to have such troubles, with you, there will be someone to pass the ball to Da Yao." And your shot is so accurate, so beautiful. I have to say, God still loves us! It will allow me to be part of the strongest national team in history when I am about to retire. ”

From Li Nan's words, Li Cheng fully realized Li Nan's bitterness. He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only secretly decide in his heart, "This Olympic Games, even if you work hard, you have to push the Chinese team one step further, even if it is just one place better than the best eighth place in history." ”

Li Nan and Li Cheng chatted for a while, and when the training time in the afternoon came, everyone came to the training hall one after another.

Yao Ming saw Li Nan and Li Cheng sitting on the sidelines chatting, and knew that these two people didn't go back at all after the morning training. Li Nan must have been a sparring partner for Li Cheng, but Yao Ming had a trace of respect for these two people.

"You two didn't go back at noon!"

"yes!" Li Nan replied.

"It's been a tired season, don't train so hard." Yao Ming said to Li Cheng, he was also worried that Li Cheng would collapse his body.

Li Cheng smiled at Yao Ming and said, "It's okay." ”

Feeling the care of his teammates, Li Cheng's heart was also very warm, and gradually he also had a certain sense of belonging to this national team.

After the afternoon training began, Li Cheng still devoted himself wholeheartedly, without any self-relaxation at all. Everyone also knows that Li Cheng has basically not stopped since he practiced for himself in the morning. I have a little admiration for this player who is younger than me.

At the same time, involuntarily, everyone's training attitude and training intensity have improved a little. (To be continued......)
