Unlike the U.S. youth team's various varied and media highlights at Nike's headquarters, the international team's training is relatively calm, and every day is as usual.

In the morning, it is often a warm-up for basic training, and in the afternoon, the 11 players will be divided into two teams and one free agent for two intra-team games.

The grouping is basically fixed, mainly to balance the strength of the two teams, and the red team is the captain of Lin Dong, mainly Asian players.

Small forward Lin Dong, scoring guard Zhu Fangyu, point guard Kaede Rukawa, plus power forward Nikloz, and center Greek shark Sophocles.

On the BLU side, small forward Petrus, scoring guard Alexander, point guard Zoran, power forward Mazie Lampe, and center Daco Mirisic.

The captain of the blue team is none other than the Serbian Dakomirisic.

The NBA draft pick in '03, although he didn't play the NBA star in the NBA, at least that high pick was enough to prove his youth strength.

Before Lindon defeated Petrus, he and Petrus were the captains of the red and blue teams that Younas had decided to train in his heart, and compared to Petrus, it was obvious that the current Dacomi Milicic was superior.

In this grouping, except for Lin Dong, the red team is almost completely weaker than the opponent in other positions.

Even the Greek shark Sophocles, who is most valued by Younas, is still a big step behind when it comes to Dacomilisic.

There is too much difference in height, although there is an absolute advantage in weight and strength, but Dacomi Milic belongs to the type of player who plays with his brain, and his experience and skills are far above the little shark, and he is firmly suppressed and has absolute dominance under the basket.

Alexander, also a quarterback from Serbia, is stronger than Zhu Fangyu in his own strength, and he is the quarterback position, Zhu Fangyu is transferred from the forward line, and each other's interpretations of the court position are not at the same level, this is an excellent blue-collar who has played an average of 9 points and 2 boards per game in the Cavaliers in later generations, and a three-point shooting rate of 40%, it is no surprise to suppress Zhu Fangyu.

And the gap between point guard Zoran and Rukawa Kaede is even greater.

Unlike other children who are mostly not professional, as a first-round pick in the next 03 years, Zoran has already won the regular season MVP in the Croatian Professional League, as early as when the international team first invited Younas as a coach, Younas handpicked three people, one is Dacomi Mirisic, one is his own favorite Greek Shark, and the other is Zorran.

Compared with Rukawa Kaede, who only has experience in the Japanese high school league, Zoran has completely exploded the opponent in terms of speed, awareness, ball quotient, skills, physical fitness, etc., and his 2-meter height has more delicate ball control skills than Rukawa Kaede, and the alignment of the two is almost Rukawa Kaede has been exhausted, but it has no effect.

All three points are the international team's complete Asian team, and the big forward's Nikloz and Mazie Lampe are considered to be tied with each other.

Therefore, the main purpose of Younas is to build the cooperation between the main starters of the international team.

Of course, Lin Dong is also the absolute main force of the international team in Younas's mind, but if he is also assigned to the blue team, then the red team will have no ability to play at all, and the intra-team competition without the opponent will not have the effect of training.

As for the 'superfluous' Sakuragi Hanamichi, Younas arranged it in the red team, but it was basically the Greek little shark who got tired first when he fought against Dacomilisic, and then Sakuragi Hanamichi had the opportunity to play.

Before that, Younas thought that Hanamichi Sakuragi was a decent defender, but after the actual training, he realized that this guy's foundation was really poor...... Except for one hand to defend well, many other things are not available, and the ability to hold the ball is close to zero.

Although he has made up for it in Lloyd, and when he played the winter selection in Japan, he seems to have some ball-holding ability, but when the intensity of the game rises to the height of this international team, Sakuragi Hanamichi's various rookie shortcomings are completely exposed, and in the face of the defense of opposing players, Sakuragi Hanamichi often behaves at a loss in the offensive end, so that although there is some defensive role, in Younas's opinion, it still can't make up for his lack on the offensive end.

So he can only be a substitute in the bench, and if the international team falls behind significantly in the official game, then Younas doesn't mind letting him go up and show his face.

But if the match between the international team and the American team has been anxious, then Younas thinks that the chances that he will send Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court may be slim.

originally thought that two positions were superior, one position was crushed, and one position was tied, so even if Lin Dong could beat Petrus, the red team should not be able to win the ball.

But the results of the two teams in the past few days really made Younas feel a little incredible.

A total of 11 intra-team matches were played over the course of a few days, with the red and blue teams winning one and losing one on the first day and the same one on the second day, but since the third day, the European team has not won against the red team......

In just 11 games, the Asian red team, which he considered to be significantly weaker, actually won a full 9 games.

And the first one to bring about this change was Lin Dong, the captain of the red team.

In just a few days, this teenager, who has reached a certain bottleneck in Younas's opinion, is actually growing at a rapid rate.

His breakthrough has become sharper, if he had to go all out to break through the opponent's defense when he singled out Petrus a few days ago, then now Lin Dong gives Younas the feeling that he has treated Petrus as nothing.

It's not that he's suddenly faster, or he's become more agile or anything like that.

The feeling for Younas is that Lin Dong is more experienced and slippery on the basis of the original breakthrough, not only can he easily ignore all the interference of all the players of the European team on the defensive end, but also can always lure out the flaws of the defender at a small price, and then catch it at the first time.

To put it simply, his reading of defense has improved dramatically in a short period of time.

Younas knew that this was definitely the credit of Peyton coming to the gym to accompany Lin Dong to practice alone after everyone's training every day, and there was only one explanation.

But even so, Younas still thinks it's incredible, how can a few days of training be so good?

Unless this teenager has been studying Peyton's style of play before and has a sufficient foundation of accumulation, then he can suddenly break through under Peyton's guidance, and it can barely be said.

But how can a 17-year-old boy have so much foundation for Peyton's research and understanding...... I can't figure it out, Younas is a little confused anyway, his progress is too counterintuitive.

In addition, there is another reason why the red team can win, that is, there is another guy like Lin Dong who goes against common sense and progresses!

That is, there is not even a suitable place for him in this international team.

Although the defensive skills that have improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days are not as exaggerated and obvious as Lin Dong's improvement, they have been able to defend well in the face of Petrus when they are out of position......

This guy's defensive movements are exactly the same as Lin Dong's, no, it should be said that they are the same as Payton!

When Peyton and Lin Dong practiced alone, didn't they let others enter the hall? Moreover, even if Payton is also teaching him, there is no reason to improve so quickly, you must know that just about a few days ago, Petrus crossed Sakuragi Hanamichi as easily as crossing the road in the early morning, but in just a few days, Sakuragi Hanamichi is now on the court in the second half, when he plays Petrus and other players who are tired with a new force dislocation, the effect is surprisingly good, ten balls can at least let him defend three or four alone, and yesterday in the team game, even in the last 5 minutes, instead of Rukawa Kaede clean sheet Zoran who was the main attack point at that time, steals three balls in succession from Zoran!

It's rare that there is something in this world that makes Younas extremely curious...... So I talked to Sakuragi Hanamichi in private.

As a result, he was even coaxed and deceived, and he had to face this guy's lame English level and even guess, after all, Lin Dong usually helped him translate Chinese and Japanese in the team, and it was not easy to figure out the reason.

The first two days of coming here really made Sakuragi Flower Road depressed, and the gap between it and these people is too big, what should I do? As a result, that day, he heard Younas say that Brother Gao had improved, and it must be because of the reason why Peyton practiced alone with Brother Gao every day.

So, you can become stronger by practicing with Payton alone, and this concept is engraved into Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind.

However, Peyton didn't allow anyone else to stay in the arena every time he came, so Sakuragi used the excuse of going to the toilet every time he disbanded, and then squatted in the toilet for an hour...... When Lin Dong and Peyton had already practiced alone, he ran out with a smile, pretending to be 'sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry', serving Peyton all kinds of ......

"Brother Gao has said a lot of good things for me, but mainly because Mr. Payton said that I have a lot of defensive talent! That's why you're willing to teach me! Definitely not because I was pleasing him! Sakuragi Hanamichi said it triumphantly.

That's a glove Peyton! Although he didn't know what this glove was for before he came here, at least now he knew that this guy had played against the god of basketball!

Even such people say that they have basketball talent, and my dad really doesn't deceive me!

"Then they allowed me to watch from the sidelines, and then Brother Peyton liked me more and more, and every time he played with Brother Gao for a while, he would let me play instead of him and Brother Gaoren, and then he would be next to him and give careful guidance! Dude Peyton is so nice! ”

After listening to this kid's words, Younas also smiled dumbly, and he was really a little impressed by this little guy.

At first, when most of the team, including Younas himself, began to get used to ignoring Sakuragi Hanamichi, the smiley, nonchalant expression on the kid's face made Younas even feel a little disgusted.

If you have a strong mentality, you have a good mentality, but if you don't have the strength and have a good mentality, then you are called unmotivated.

didn't expect that the smile on his face was just the appearance of this young man, but in fact, he had secretly done a lot of things behind his back, even secretly hiding in the toilet, and then running out cheekily serving tea and pouring water for others......

Younas is probably getting it now.

If Lin Dong's rapid progress is due to his profound accumulation, then Sakuragi Hanamichi's rapid progress is due to a pure heart that purely pursues basketball, and of course, it is also due to his diametrically opposed promotion method to Lin Dong, because he is a 'blank slate'.

It's always easier to draw on a blank piece of paper, not to mention that Sakuragi Hanamichi himself belongs to the kind of person who has quite a defensive instinct, and under the teaching of a defensive master like Peyton, he has made rapid progress in a short period of time, but it is actually much easier than Lin Dong's hundred feet.

From thinking that there was only a group of European generals under his hands, to now suddenly there is a pair of heaven and earth double tracks, although in the past two days, you can see the US media reports on the US youth team everywhere, which is so fierce that it is not like words, but Younas still has good confidence in the international team.

We are also unexpectedly strong!

If the international team can really defeat the American team this time, it will be regarded as the pinnacle of his coaching career, and it will definitely be a strong stroke!

Thanks to that guy!

…………

Peyton was in the gym smiling at a big butt running diagonally across from him, sitting in his position with a view of the scenery behind him.

The elasticity, the compactness, tsk......

"Ah Qiu!" He suddenly sneezed coldly, causing the big ass in front of him to look back.

The big ass seemed to have noticed him a long time ago, and while turning her head and smiling at him, she winked at Peyton.

Then, the smile on Peyton's face, which had been held for at least ten minutes, suddenly froze.

Nima, this is too old...... Forty or fifty people, what are you doing with such a big ass? What a spicy eye! If you have time to look at this product, you might as well go to the stadium to complete today's task.

Ah, when it comes to missions, Peyton is even more annoying.

Lin Dong's kid has improved too fast...... It's only been a few days? Peyton felt that when he faced the other party, he had to go from being able to handle it casually with six or seven percent of his strength, to now he had to use at least eight or nine success forces to suppress it!

This progress is too fast for Nima, he can teach anything over and over again, as if he had learned it before, and he just reviewed and learned more about it by himself......

Peyton felt that if he continued like this, not only would he have nothing to teach him soon, but if he really had to be broken through his own defense by this kid, even if it was only once, it would be a shame and a big loss!

So now he no longer dares to wear flat shoes to sparring, and he changes into his own game shoes and insoles.

And that's it, it's also very difficult, not defense, it's physical strength!

This kid's stamina is so good, it's as good as not knowing that he's tired, and he recovers quickly, and he really wants to let himself work with him for an hour or two every day, Payton feels that he has relaxed after the break, and his lack of daily training is really a bit unbearable......

So in the past few days, I started to run the gym, not to mention, but also by the way to use the guy who was hidden in the toilet in the gym, I don't know what to do, Mingli is to give Lin Dong a face, to help train and train the red-haired little guy, but secretly it is actually to take the opportunity to recover his physical strength, so that the young man consumes each other from the young man.

Damn, it's a shame for the NBA to be a high school student and find a helper......

Let me explain in advance that Peyton is a wife protector maniac, married in 98, and the object is his childhood sweetheart, so what kind of women did Peyton talk about with Lin Dong before, including seeing beautiful women in the gym now, it's just a mouthful, in fact, Peyton is a good man with zero scandals...... It will be introduced later, explain it in advance, and save yourself from being sprayed.
