Chapter 65: [Besides the champion, what else is worth my debut]

"It's our rising star, it's called Yi, he's very physical, he's very driven, he's playing really well in the domestic league, he's an MVP-level performance. Many draft experts are optimistic about his future, believing that he will become the third Chinese lottery pick. ”

Yao Ming introduced Su Xi to the number 11 player who was running around the court.

Suxi turned her head seriously to watch. He has long had an impression of Yi Jianlian, and many basketball insiders recommended him to him when he was in China last year, and Su Xi also introduced some training methods to his team, and recommended top trainers in the United States.

It can be seen that his athleticism is really good, especially the running and jumping ability, he stands out on the court, and has an ability to completely surpass the mediocre.

However, Su Xi is not as optimistic as Yao Ming. He thinks that Yi's action speed is not fast enough, especially when shooting, and he always likes to adjust it and shoot again.

This approach would be stable, but at the same time, it would give the impression of being stereotyped and not agile enough.

Moreover, with his athleticism, in fact, it is not particularly outstanding in the NBA, which is full of talents. So Suhi was very honest and said: "If he wants to mix up in the NBA, he should do some 'role player' practice, and he has to increase his shooting speed." ”

"He's going to focus more on positioning, defense, grabbing rebounds, pick-and-rolls, covering."

Suhi said: "His playing habits in China have to be completely changed. ”

Yao Ming didn't expect Su Xi to say such a thing, and he was a little surprised.

But Sushi is serious.

Later, when Yi Jianlian came over to ask him for advice, he said the same thing.

Yi Jianlian is a very sincere and hardworking person, and he is willing to accept suggestions.

So, Sushi thinks he will have a bright future.

Suhi stayed in the training gym for a week, he played with his teammates, told them how to train, and under his guidance, the training atmosphere was very good, and the improvement of the players was also visible to the naked eye.

Suhi is not a man to carry a shelf, even though he is already the best basketball player in the world.

A week later, Suhi decided to compete in this year's World Championships.

As soon as this news came out, it shook the entire basketball circle. Especially in the United States, this year's Dream Team formed a super team led by the Super Platinum Generation of 2003, who came to get revenge on Athens.

They want to win the championship and be ashamed.

However, there has been news that Suhi will not play in the World Championships, so the preparation on the Dream Team's side is not enough. Now that Su Xi suddenly said that she was going to play in the World Championships, they couldn't help but get nervous.

However, the other side of the tension is excitement.

LeBron James has wanted to beat Suhey for a long time, and now is the best opportunity for him. He once complained in the NBA that Suhi's teammates were better than himself, so Suhi won two championships, but just this past season, Suhi's teammates were similar to his teammates in Cleveland, and Suhi won the championship and Finals MVP.

This forced him to recognize the huge gap between the two.

Recognizing the gap, he is still eager to beat Suhi, so the only chance is... My teammate is stronger than his teammate.

Now, here's your chance.

The Dream Team is undoubtedly stronger than the Chinese team.

James has already discussed with his team, once the dream team defeats the Chinese team, it will be said that James killed Suxi and won glory for the country!

His team echoed one after another, and they had been holding back for a long time, and they had all come under Su Xi's suppression all these years.

The dignified Chosen One has now fallen to this field, and no one is saying that he can rule the NBA.

No one said he was the successor of the NBA.

Because Suhi directly broke the scepter and rewrote the rules of the game, now the NBA is basically his words.

The American media is also clamoring at this time, claiming that they want to kill Su Xi, to completely suppress Su Xi's arrogance, and to make him understand that his success is parasitic on the NBA, and without the NBA, he is nothing.

Such statements are in fact exposing their weakness.

Sushi wouldn't have cared at all.

After announcing his participation in the World Championships, he went to a lot of business events.

Some hosts at the event also asked him: "Suxi, what is your goal this time?" ”

Suhi's answer is very simple and very straightforward: "I go to any competition, the goal is to be the champion. As long as there is me, there is a championship. ”

If someone else said such things, the restrained and subtle Chinese fans would definitely say that he was arrogant, not self-sufficient, and did not act in a low-key manner.

But now it's Suhi.

What else do you need to say?

Fault first, then enjoy!

Everyone believed that Sushi could do it.

Because Su Xi has already brought a gold medal to the Chinese men's basketball team in Athens, what is the problem of winning the championship now after his death?

Chinese fans believe in Suxi very much, and Asian fans also believe in it.

Only the Dream Team is confident.

Except for participating in business activities, Suhi basically stays in the training hall for the rest of the time, and although he does not participate in the warm-up matches of the national team, he will appear on the sidelines of every game.

In the training camp, he basically served as the head coach, and the tactical play of the Chinese team was upgraded with his arrival. Su Xi is not the kind of superplayer who wants his teammates to adapt to him, the first thing he does when he arrives on the court is to squeeze Yao Ming out of Team B, he leads Team A to play freely, he has to understand the characteristics of each teammate, and encourage his teammates to play their most confident and confident basketball.

Driven by Suhi, the teammates have made rapid progress.

People need encouragement.

In particular, the person who encourages you is the first person in the world basketball, a three-time NBA champion, and a super MVP who can compete with Jordan.

With a compliment, his entire career shone brightly.

When the Chinese team played a warm-up game, Su Xi was also watching the game from the sidelines.

He's more excited than the manager, he's been directing tactics, he's been telling his team-mates how to move.

And the Chinese team did play a completely different style of play, more confident, more stable, and more calm.

The warm-up game was very good.

"That's what Suhey brings to the table, he's not like Jordan, who is the kind of leader who destroys his teammates' confidence and then pushes them forward. But Suhi, he's just encouraging, he doesn't need his teammates to adapt to his style of play, he's more confident, he's more capable, his passing is much better than Jordan's. It's a joy to be his teammates, and teammates progress and grow in happiness. ”

Isaiah Thomas has returned to China, where he has once again served as an advisor to the national team.

Still don't want a salary.

The reporter asked him why, and he said: "I love China, I love Suxi." Sushi brought me everything I have now, what should I do. ”

Interestingly, this is the third NBA-related person to say something similar this summer.

The other two are Tony Barty and Stephen Marbury.

Tony Barty is easy to understand, because he is a protector and he is more famous in the country than many NBA superstars.

He came to China to play in the league just to give back to the fans, he didn't come for money.

He could earn more in the NBA.

He has signed a contract with a domestic basketball club, and he can be seen next season, and he has also been participating in domestic activities during this time. In addition, he has a week to come to the national team training camp as an assistant coach.

He was invited by Su Xi to train Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian's team was originally very ambitious, thinking that Yi Jianlian went to the NBA, at least at the All-Star level.

However, Tony Barty taught him a lesson.

Tony Barty seems to be unknown in the NBA, and without the nickname of Hu Su Bao, it is impossible for domestic fans to care about him.

However, against him and Yi Jianlian, his winning rate reached eighty percent.

Whether it is dribbling, or stuck, or shooting, or covering, or grabbing rebounds, he is higher than Yi Jianlian in all aspects.

Yi Jianlian is just younger than him and has stronger running and jumping ability.

So, this inspired Yi Jianlian.

He is aware of his shortcomings, his training becomes more aggressive, and he has a clear direction.

If there was a reason for Tony Barty to come to China, then Stephen Marbury came over much more than expected.

After all, he's max paid in the NBA, and he has more than a year left on his contract.

He's still at a very high level in the NBA, he's not old enough to get along, and some teams are willing to give him a contract.

However, he resolutely bought out the contract with the Pacers, and he came to China to redeem himself, and he signed with a club.

His arrival has made many Chinese fans who had laughed at him tolerant.

After all, Marbury has already come to the CBA, so what else can't be forgiven.

Marbury came to the CBA because he was stimulated. He kept being compared to Suhi, especially leading the Pacers to be black-eight, and after Suhi led the Knicks to win the championship, his psychological pressure reached the extreme.

And, he could barely make it in Indiana.

Once again, he became a street rat.

His mind has become a little abnormal.

Later, his friend told him: Maybe you need to get nourishment from the cultural aspect. Why does Suhi the Sheep always change a team quickly and take the team to unprecedented heights? Because of the nourishment of culture, he is Chinese, and the spirit of Chinese may be able to help you. Go there, and when you get your mind remodeled and you come back to the NBA, you'll be completely counterattacked.

Marbury then accepted this suggestion, and he came to China in search of his 'Tao'.

He didn't want to be seen like a street rat that everyone shouted at and beat him up to, and he didn't want to be a vandal in the locker room.

He thinks he's a good person and deserves a better evaluation.

So here he comes.

What he didn't expect was that he came here and received a hug from the fans with open hands.

The team he joined also welcomed him and gave him a lot of unexpected support, and he felt the kindness here.

His changes have already begun to happen.

Suxi was interviewed by CCTV after the Chinese team's victory over Angola.

This was Suhi's first very official interview since returning home.

He answered a lot of questions from the fans.

The reporter's question also started with the NBA.

"You've got your third championship and the MVP of the Finals. As you said, you are the champion of all the competitions you participate in. We already see you as a legend, so, in your heart, do you consider yourself a legend? ”

Suhi smiled and said, "I can't pretend to be humble and say no, because I'm really a legend." Come to think of it, what I've done in the past is incredible to me. He got a quadruple-double in his first game in the NBA, won all the championships in his first three seasons, and won MVP in all of them. In Athens, help the national team win the gold medal ... It's legendary. ”

"What's the difference between winning in New York and winning in Indiana for you?"

"It's a big difference, Indiana we're a defense-based team, we're playing conservative and I'm going to take the role of the arrow. But with the Knicks, we're free, and each of us players is striving for a better version of ourselves. So, we're improving all the time, every minute of it. A lot of people don't understand why we always win by sweeping, and some teams even feel that they are wronged to lose. But if you are given another chance, they will still be swept away. ”

"So confident?"

"Yes." Suhi nodded.

"So do you think the Knicks can win the championship next season? You've promised to bring five championships to the Knicks, are you going to finish it during this contract of yours? ”

"Of course, we know how to win the title, so we just have to keep going. My mind is to achieve five championships under my contract. ”

"Do you think you can keep your promise?"

"Yes."

"Speaking of this year's national team, do you think there is a difference between the strength of the national team and the Athens period?"

"We're stronger, younger, and most importantly, more confident. I'm sure you can all feel intuitively that all the players are more daring to make moves than they were in 2004. On the pitch, self-confidence is paramount. Only those who believe in themselves can work miracles. ”

"Speaking of young players, what do you think of Yi Jianlian? If there are no surprises, he will be drafted in the NBA draft next year, where do you think he will be drafted? Does he stand a chance of being an NBA All-Star? ”

The reporter asked this question.

Su Xi thought about it very seriously, this was the first time he had hesitation in this interview.

"Of course he's very good, he's very athletic and has a lot of fundamentals," he said. If he participates in the draft, he will definitely be selected in a very high position. Becoming an NBA All-Star shouldn't be his goal, everyone's goal should be to be the best version of themselves. ”

"It is said that next year is a big year for the draft, and the Knicks will hold the draft pick of the Portland Trail Blazers, with the record of the Trail Blazers, you are likely to get a high draft pick, will you use this pick to pick Yi Jianlian?"

"It's not up to me to decide, I'm not the general manager of the Knicks."

Suhi smiled.

Then, the reporter asked: "So what is our goal for this year's World Championships?" Champion? ”

"Of course! What else is there for me to compete in but the championship? ”
