Chapter 188 Arrival in Las Vegas

On July 7, the Huaguo men's basketball team arrived in Las Vegas, USA.

They will usher in the first summer league warm-up game three days later, on July 7.

There are 17 players in the national team roster this time, and 15 of them arrived in the United States with the team. In addition to them, there are Du Zhe and A Lian who have already come to the United States for special training in advance.

Dayao was still unable to play in this game, but it did not dispel the enthusiasm of Huaguo fans at all. Everyone wanted to see what kind of performance the new FMVP Du Zhe, who turned out to be, could perform in the national team .

It just so happened that a certain wave of the national team's warm-up match will be broadcast live, and according to reliable sources, Du Zhe will also play in some of the games, which further increases the popularity of these games.

Although there are still many fans who still remember Du Zhe's hip-stretching performance in the Olympics two years ago, but now that Du Zhe has returned to the national team with the power of FMVP, the fans' expectations for him can be imagined.

…………

Du Zhe, who flew from San Francisco at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, saw the staff of the national team who came to greet him as soon as he got out of the airport.

"Du! This way, this way!" Du Zhe looked up and saw that the person greeting him was none other than the national team coach Bob Denghuade.

Although the two had never met before, they recognized each other immediately.

Du Zhe hurried over and said politely as he walked: "Coach, why are you here in person? Tell me the address of the hotel. I will just go there. Please come over in person."

Seeing Du Zhe being so polite, Deng Huade's smile became even stronger.

Before coming to the United States, he also heard some comments about Du Zhe from other national team players.

For Du Zhe two years ago, most people can't get rid of the four words "young and energetic" in their impression.

Deng Huade was originally worried that after winning the FMVP, Du Zhe would be more arrogant than two years ago, and it would be difficult for him to perform his job as a head coach.

But today, after just getting in touch with him, he found that Du Zhe was not as unruly as he imagined, which made him feel a little relieved.

Deng Huade hurriedly pulled Du Zhe's arm to let him get into the car, and continued to say politely: "Du, your name has resounded throughout the basketball world this summer, and I can't wait to meet you!"

The person who came to pick up Du Zhe today was a large MPV commercial vehicle. Du Zhe and Deng Huade sat in the boss seat in the middle.

The car started and drove towards the hotel.

Deng Huade continued: "Du, this time it's thanks to you for bridging the gap. I watched the next few opponents, and they are all of good quality. They should be a good warm-up for other players in the national team. "

Deng Huade was born in the United States, and he also admires the rice style of play. He naturally agrees with the summer league training.

The reason why he and several leaders of the national team were unable to make a decision before was mainly because they were worried that the warm-up match record would be too poor, which would cause dissatisfaction among fans and even undermine the team's confidence.

But now that Du Zhe has joined, they have gained some confidence.

"By the way, coach, besides me, who else is on the national team's roster this time?" Du Zhe asked.

He has been busy training recently and has not paid much attention to the national team's training list.

Hearing Du Zhe asked about the team, head coach Deng Huade immediately introduced enthusiastically.

Du Zhe has been playing in the United States for almost two years, and there is basically no language barrier in communicating with Deng Huade. The two communicate directly in English, leaving aside the translators in the back row.

According to Deng Huade's introduction, there are 17 players in the national team's training list.

Except for Du Zhe and Ah Lian, the other 15 players have arrived at the hotel with the team.

Since Ah Lian started from New Jersey, the journey was farther than that of Du Zhe, so he is still on the way and will arrive later.

The other [-] players are basically from the CBA. From star players to rising stars, they basically cover the best players in the CBA, and there are many names that Du Zhe is familiar with.

Among them, Dazhi, who played for the Mavericks, Zhang Zhaoxu, a young player from the Sharks, and Su Wei, a young player from Nangang's Datang and South China Tigers, are at the center position.

Among the power forwards, in addition to the Arab League who played in the Nets last season, there are Li Xiaoxu from the Northeast, Ding Jinhui, the third and fourth swingman of the Wanma team, and the South China Tigers young player Dong Hanlin.

As a small forward, Du Zhe's starting position naturally cannot be shaken. The original national team's starting small forward Zhu Ba can only serve him as a substitute honestly.

In addition to the two of them, South China Tigers' Zhou Peng and Nangang's "Spare Ribs Flying Man" Yi Li are also candidates for the national team's small forwards.

Among the point guards, Dayao's former teammate Liu Wei and Lakers star Sun Yue are enough to shoulder the responsibility of organizing the offense, while veteran Jin Lipeng and rising star Guo Ailun also sit on the bench.

Only the shooting guard position is a little thin, and only Wang Qi from the South China Tigers is alone. Fortunately, there are many players who can rotate to the point guard among the forwards and point guards, which can reduce his burden.

But this is only the training list of the national team. Only 17 of these 12 players can officially enter the big list and compete with the team for the World Championships.

After listening to Deng Huade's introduction along the way, Du Zhe felt that the current strength of the national team seems to be okay, at least better than before he crossed.

Although Dayao was reimbursed and unable to play, the national team still has many players with NBA experience.

In addition to Du Zhe, Arab League is currently playing for the Nets, and Da Zhi and Sun Yue have also had experience in NBA games before.

Other players such as Wang Qi, Zhu Ba, Liu Wei, etc., although they have no NBA experience, their level is not bad, at least they have the ability to complete their own jobs.

Du Zhe estimated that he, Ah Lian, Da Zhi, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhu Ba, and Wang Qi were definitely going to be on the big list.

The other 10 people will compete for the remaining five places.

After talking with Deng Huade all the way, the group arrived at the hotel soon.

Since the national team came from afar and traveled all the way, there is no training program arranged today.

After Du Zhe said goodbye to Deng Huade, he went back to his room to rest.

Deng Huade looked at Du Zhe's leaving back, and felt that this young man seemed to have a very different evaluation from others.

At least judging from the communication along the way, Du Zhe has nothing to do with the young, frivolous and rebellious in other populations. Instead, he has a kind of maturity that does not match his age.

This made Deng Huade feel a burst of joy. In this world championship, the Huaguo national team with Du Zhe might be able to create history, and he will also leave a heavy mark in the history of Huaguo basketball.
