From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 8
Game day is fast approaching.

This time the Guangdong team played away, and they came to XJ's WLMQ.

The XJ Guanghui men's basketball team is at the Hongshan Gymnasium in WLMQ City.

Hongshan Sports Center is one of the landmark buildings of XJWLMQ City. It was built with an investment of 2002 million yuan in 8600. The exterior design of the top looks like a blooming snow lotus in the sky, which looks quite XJ's local characteristics.

When the Guangdong players arrived outside Hongshan Stadium by bus, they were greeted with boos and curses.

Some fans were even excited and wanted to climb onto the Guangdong team's bus with bare hands, but they failed to succeed only when they were discovered by security personnel in time.

Compared with the Guangdong team's home stadium, Dongguan Stadium, Hongshan Stadium is much smaller. Dongguan Sports can accommodate up to 12000 spectators, while Hongshan Stadium can only accommodate up to 4000 people.

But the enthusiasm of XJ fans will not be limited by the size of the stadium. Even if they can't enter the stadium to watch the game, they are willing to come to the vicinity of the home arena, ambush in advance on the only way of the visiting team's bus, and knock on the glass door. Try to put some psychological pressure on the away team players.

When the game comes at night, tens of thousands of people will gather on the square outside the stadium to watch the game on the big screen and cheer for the home team.In many cases, the cheers from outside the Red Mountain Arena are much louder than those inside the arena.

The enthusiasm of the XJ fans did not deter the players of the Guangdong team. The people sitting in the car were still very calm. As the domestic ace team, they have seen this kind of scene a lot.

Except for Zeng Fanri who was always looking around and fidgeting, most of the others were busy with their own affairs, listening to music and playing games.

Jiang Hu was sitting in the second row of the car near the window. He was holding his chin with his right hand, staring motionlessly at the distance outside the glass in a trance.

Next to Jianghu is Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian, who was listening to music, saw Jianghu's expression and thought he was nervous about the upcoming game. Who would have thought that this guy was preparing for the NBA and planning his English learning. Woolen cloth?

Yi Jianlian took off his earphones, put his hands on Jianghu's shoulders, and while kneading Jianghu's shoulders, he smiled and said softly: "Don't be too stressed, Xiao Jiang."

"No matter what the final result of the game is, we just try our best!!"

"Even if we lose, we will make a comeback next season!!!"

"Brother Lian, what are you talking about?" Jiang Hu, who heard Yi Jianlian's words, looked back at the team boss beside him in surprise.

"We want to win, and we must win!!"

"I told you, I'm here to help you win the championship!!"

"After winning the championship, I will go to the draft, so this is my last few CBA games!!!"

"There is no next season, no restart, only winning, only going forward!!"

Yi Jianlian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. He seemed to see his former self from Jianghu's face. He was young, vigorous, energetic, and full of energy. He wished he could put the whole world under his feet.

"You're right, you have to win, in order for you to be drafted by the NBA, we have to win too!!!"

The head coach Du Feng also noticed the situation here, he got up directly, coughed twice and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone, this is the third time we have come to this arena in the finals this year. We lost the game the first two times!!"

"But this time, I hope we can win."

"I know that each of you really wants to win. At this stage of the season, everyone wants to win one more championship. Whether it is honor or economy, it is good for everyone!!"

"If we win this game, the pressure will be relieved. Next time we go back to home, we will definitely win. If we come back here after the tiebreaker, it will not be us who should be nervous, but the opponent. Those who sell sliced ​​cakes!!"

Coach Du Feng's slanderous call to the XJ team as "selling sliced ​​cakes" caused a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became much more relaxed.

"In order for everyone to fight wholeheartedly, after the last game, I sent a report to the general manager and applied for a bonus for you, do you want it!!!"

"think!!!"

At first, everyone was a little listless and absent-minded, but after hearing this, everyone finally came to their senses and responded loudly to Coach Du Feng.

They are all grown-ups, some are old and some are young, and they even come out to play for money. How can anyone not love money?

"How much, Coach!!"

"Fucking funny, I gave you the money!!!"

The head coach looked serious, and stretched out 5 fingers towards everyone.

"Five thousand? All right, mosquito legs are meat too!!"

Everyone's interest was not high, but they still applauded perfunctorily to express their gratitude to the leader for his love.

"What five thousand, what five thousand!!"

"When did our team dunk like this??"

"5, win this game, regardless of starting or substituting, everyone will be rewarded with 5!!!"

Seeing that the excitement level of the crowd was average, Director Du Feng clarified it loudly to everyone.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Du Feng's guidance that the definite answer was 5.

After all, in today's era, money is really close to omnipotent. 99% of things can be solved with money, if not, it must be because there is not enough money.

Although Guangdong is the most famous basketball team in the country, the salary of the players is really incomparable with that of the top foreign leagues. Except for Wilms and Yi Jianlian, the annual salary of the team can reach tens of millions, and the salary of the rest of the players is [-] million. Not particularly high.

The normal starter salary is about 200 million in a season, and only about 140 million after tax, not to mention the players on the bench, it is normal to have less than 100 million after tax. The salary is only 50 a year, and after tax deduction, the income is only 35.

Therefore, 5 is definitely not a small amount for everyone, not to mention that this 5 belongs to the club bonus, and in name, there is no need to pay individual tax.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my words. Not only is there a bonus for this game. If we win this game, our chance will come. The general manager told me that if we can create a miracle in the end and win the championship, in addition to the bonus for winning In addition, he will personally apply to the boss for additional bonuses, 38 for each starting player and 25 for each substitute player, if the boss disagrees, he is willing to pay for it himself!!!!"

"Oh~!!!"

Scream, scream like crazy! ! !
Everyone in the Guangdong team made no secret of their emotions and their love for money-smelling things.

This news was a surprise to everyone, even the team boss Yi Jianlian had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"awesome!!!"

"The general manager is wise!!!"

"It must be reversed, kill those who sell sliced ​​cakes!!!"

As the boss of the team, Yi Jianlian will definitely not miss this good opportunity to boost morale.

"Brothers, since the leader is so powerful, I can't hold you back."

"Let's win this game, and I will personally give you another gift, the latest version of the highest configuration iPhone!!"

"Are you confident, brothers!!!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone in the Guangdong team was already extremely excited under the temptation one after another, and everyone almost turned into howling wolves, shouting crazily.

"it is good!!"

"I am very satisfied with the mental state of everyone, I believe you can do it!!!" Director Du Feng stood up and made a concluding speech.

He hoped that everyone would maintain the current state and not be too excited, so that when the game came, the power would be even stronger.

"Okay, everyone, sit back in your seats!!"

"I'm announcing something~!"

"For this game, we have made some adjustments to our starting roster." As soon as Coach Du Feng's words came out, everyone quickly quieted down and looked at him intently.

Even Jiang Hu took a serious look at it, because he didn't know whether his performance in the last game impressed the coach?
If coach Du Feng can really see his own shining point, he should be arranged to start this game.

What other people care about is that it has something to do with the issues that the coach has just emphasized. After all, if history is finally reversed and the championship is won, there is still a big difference between the starters and the substitutes in the additional bonuses issued by the management.

Coach Du Feng took out a blank sheet of paper from the bottom pocket of his trousers and began to announce the starting lineup.

"Center, Yi Jianlian!!"

There is no suspense in this position. As long as Yi Jianlian is alive and can move, even if he retires at the age of 80 like Wiggins, he will be the unshakable starter of the Guangdong team. After all, the Guangdong team can have 8 championships today and the top club in China. Yi Jianlian definitely deserves the most credit for his brilliant achievements.

"Point guard Zhao Rui, shooting guard Zhou Peng, small forward Wilms!!" Du Feng continued to read the starting list in his hand with his head down.

There is also no suspense about the positions of Zhou Peng and Wilms. One is the captain of the team and the other is the team's strongest foreign player. Their positions are also unshakable.

As for the team's potential newcomer Zhao Rui returning to the starting lineup again, it is an extra joy for him. He has always been a starting lineup in the regular season.

But in the series against XJ, in order to match the overall height of XJ, coach Du Feng chose to use Weems to play the starting second position, let Ren Junfei play the third position, and even give the point guard to Zhou XJ. Peng, actually played point forward for Wilms.Zhao Rui went to the bench.

Hearing this, everyone has basically guessed what. Ren Junfei has always been the starter in the previous games. He was removed from the starting lineup in this game, which shows that there must be new changes in the starting lineup. It is definitely not as simple as just changing Zhao Rui .

Moreover, coach Du Feng finally announced the ownership of the fourth position, which means that the adjustment of the fourth position is definitely the biggest.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were vaguely looking at Jianghu, among them, Ren Junfei and Zeng Fanri looked at Jianghu with a hint of hostility in their eyes.

"Power forward, Jianghu!!" After Du Feng finished speaking, he looked at the group of players under him, hoping to see some surprised or shocked expressions on their faces.

But unfortunately, he was disappointed...

No one is particularly stupid to be a professional basketball player. In fact, everyone has already guessed this way after the last game.

Therefore, everyone in the Guangdong team was not surprised by Jianghu's first start. Jianghu's performance in the last game has already given him a qualified vote certificate, and the first start is also a matter of course.

Even Ren Junfei and Zeng Fanri, who were the most unhappy, suppressed their emotions, because they knew that their first start did not give the tactical effect the coach wanted, and it was only natural to be replaced by someone else.

"Is there any problem?" Du Feng asked after looking around.

"No!!" Everyone said in unison, without any objection.

Du Feng nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Very good, now that the starting lineup has been determined, the next game, Jianghu, your task is very difficult, I need you to do two things!!"

"First: Try to hit the inside line as much as possible, and cause more fouls by Zhou Qi!!"

"Second: Do a good job at the second ball-holding point, distribute the ball well, and assist Wilms to launch attacks from the outside!!"

"any questions!!!"

"No problem, we promise to complete the task!!!" Jiang Hu clenched his fists and looked at Du Feng with firm eyes.

Look well, I will use my actions to tell everyone what I can do on the basketball court in this game! !
