After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 360 National Team Training Camp

Next is a tense schedule. Li Chengming feels that he is really enjoying the same treatment as a big star now. Apart from shooting commercials in a closed studio, almost every place he goes to is recognized by someone, and he will enjoy super decibels. enthusiasm.

To be honest, in the process of chasing stars, boys are not much better than girls in fan circles. Of course, athletes like Li Chengming who rely on their own strength to earn face for their motherland abroad are definitely better than many so-called stars.

When chasing Kobe, James, McGrady, and Iverson, you have reason to say that they are black or foreigners, and it has nothing to do with our country, but of course Li Chengming is different.

Now he wants strength and strength, honors and honors, achievements and championships. Many of the rhetoric that he used to blacken Dayao before would not work on Li Chengming. The fans are afraid that they will panic.

What, you dare to be stronger than my beautiful father, stronger than my black father, you are dead!

What, you actually won the championship?
Next season, wait!

No, the Olympics, wait!

Speaking of which, there are really many people on the Internet waiting to slap those male basketball fans who expect Li Chengming's joining to bring about a qualitative change to the national team, just waiting to see when the American men's basketball team violently abuses the Huaguo men's basketball team. They look at the gap.

I don't know what kind of mentality this is...

Li Chengming couldn't understand, and didn't want to understand.

In fact, he also felt in his heart that it would be difficult for the men's basketball team to beat the US team.

Yes, it is difficult, but not insurmountable.

why?
A very simple reason, the US team is indeed a strong alliance, but they are the core stars of their respective teams, and not many are willing to do dirty work.

Kobe may be one of them. Li Chengming still admires him in this regard.

And this US team, Kobe should be regarded as the big brother. If he takes the lead, maybe others will follow suit.

However, the training time of the US team is too short, and many times the effect is not based on the so-called tactics, but on personal ability.

In fact, this is also the reason why the dream team failed in the last Olympic Games and the World Championships two years ago.

It can be said that the Athens Olympics was because of the threat of bombs that prevented many stars from passing. The World Championships will not have this concern, right?
As a result, James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Paul, Howard and other new-generation players with strong personal abilities led the way, but only won a bronze medal.

Strictly speaking this time, in fact, there is only one more Kobe, and the other main players are not bad, so will there be a qualitative change?
At least Li Chengming thinks that with himself and Dayao around, the national team can have an advantage in the inside offense and defense against the US team - this also depends on FIBA ​​rules. The defensive end is relatively friendly to Dayao and Li Chengming, but Not very suitable for a center like Howard.

Of course, the American team is so strong on the outside, and the Huaguo men's basketball team has well-known shortcomings in the backcourt. Li Chengming can only look forward to his new teammates, including the one who was selected by the Lakers but has not yet played. I heard that Sun Dasheng, who is very talented, can bring surprises to himself.

……

In fact, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games this time, the men's basketball team officially started training as early as March. Until the Olympic men's basketball competition officially started, the full six-month training time is enough to reflect the men's basketball team's attitude towards this. Pay attention to.

Those with special circumstances like Dayao and Li Chengming postponed their entry to the team until June or July. It was around this time that the real Olympic roster was released.

The number of men's basketball players participating in the Olympic Games is limited to 12. Li Chengming, Dayao, Ah Lian, and Dazhi occupy a stable spot. The remaining eight players are Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Dasheng, Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei, Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhang Qingpeng.

The head coach of the men's basketball team is Lithuanian Jonas Kazlauskas. He took office in early 04, but he was still Harris' assistant during the Athens Olympics.

In this Olympic Games, he finally leads the team, and the two most favorable news for him are that Dayao, who was reimbursed for the previous injured season, returned from injury in time, and Li Chengming will join the team.

Obviously, Yunus has been secretly paying attention to Li Chengming, so when Li Chengming came to the training camp, he even made arrangements for Li Chengming immediately.

The first few days were all training alone, mainly from the theory and practice, so that Li Chengming began to understand and adapt to the rules that are very different from the NBA in the international arena.

Of course, this is actually not difficult for Li Chengming, because the NBA rules can basically be said to be unique, and the rules Li Chengming played in school before are similar to international rules.

It can also be said that he has been playing under this kind of rules since he was a child. In fact, there is no question of whether he can learn or not. He just needs to get back the feeling he used to have.

Of course, if you are used to playing in the NBA, it is also a problem to reverse it all at once.

Also, it is not easy to cooperate with these teammates who are completely unfamiliar. Sometimes Li Chengming has to learn to think from their perspective and their level, instead of seeing them as NBA players. Not on the same level.

So while he was training, Yunus also arranged for him to watch the training of his teammates more and understand their habits.

Obviously, Jonas knows that Li Chengming has part of the organization and connection work in the Magic. Relying on his vision and passing, as well as his ability to attract defenses, he is also handy in high-position support, so he just needs to play more of his role.

In fact, Dayao has done this job before. The reason why Dayao can drag most of these players who are not as good as foreign players to fight in the international arena is because of his support and defensive ability in the international arena. He was much stronger in Houston.

And Jonas himself is also a coach who emphasizes the collective nature of the team, just like his home country Lithuania, there are no players with extraordinary personal abilities in Lithuania, they rely on collective offensive and defensive cooperation, and inside support. It is also a very important part.

Now with the addition of Li Chengming, his tactics can be enriched, because Li Chengming is more threatening on the outside than Dayao, and his shooting range is farther than him.

After waiting for almost a week, Yunus divided the six members of the official roster into two teams for an in-team training match, and Dayao and Li Chengming happened to be divided into two teams.

He obviously understands the abilities of everyone in the team, so he also pays attention to the arrangement of the lineup. For example, Li Chengming has Zhu Fangyu, who is good at three-pointers, and Wang Shipeng, who once beat Slovenia with three-pointers. Li Chengming's task It is to rely on his own singles to open the situation, attract the defense and then distribute the ball to the outside.

However, although Li Chengming had already watched and demonstrated in his heart, when he really wanted to cooperate with these teammates, there were still many problems.

Either he passed the ball and the guy wasn't in that position, or they didn't understand his intentions, and the next step after receiving the ball was always wrong.

To be honest, Li Chengming came back with a huge halo and Dayao's support. No matter what he thought of him in his heart, the teammates of the national team would definitely not have any opinions on him on the surface. Will not say it.

But after the end, Li Chengming did not get angry with them. Instead, he first expressed that he was not good, and then told Yunas that he would start to practice the most basic passing and receiving cooperation with his teammates. Overwhelmed.

Da Zhi, who was not familiar with him before, said to Dayao secretly: "If someone didn't teach him, and he didn't do it on purpose, then he is simply a born leader..."

Dayao patted the senior on the shoulder and said with a smile, "So, we can't hold him back this time."
