The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 233 The game is about to begin

Since the training officially started on the second day, the period has basically been under closed management. Only under special circumstances can you ask for leave to go out.

Different from the gathering place yesterday, the training place is at Yanjing Gymnasium, next to the State Sports General Administration.

I live in the Tiantan Apartment about a street away. It is an old and run-down community that looked quite old even in 2000. Even the four characters "Tiantan Apartment" on the side of the community building look a bit crooked.

Although it was founded in 86, this place is not unfamiliar even to Lin Dong, who comes from 2028.

Tiantan Apartment is an important town for competitive sports in Longguo. Even in 2028, there are still thousands of well-known athletes living there all year round. In this era, there are not so many people in the community, and there are also some staff from the General Administration of Sports living here. It is equipped with seven buses and five minibuses, dedicated to transporting various athletes to the stadium every day.

In Lin Dong's opinion, Jiang's training style is very personal.

Strictness is the top priority during training. Whether it is the training itself, clothing, or even many small rules, etc., he will personally deal with every detail. In the future, it may be considered a restraint on the personality of young players, which will arouse The resistance of young people, but in this era, young people do not have that much personality to speak of. Even the wildest Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and others are as docile as kittens under Jiang's guidance. The performance in the training hall made it hard for Lin Dong to imagine how unrestrained these guys were outside.

In terms of tactics, the legendary godfather of Dragon Country basketball is actually best at defense and values ​​defense the most.

However, since the Nike Summit game ended and the video tape was sent back to China, whether it was the intention of the Basketball Association or Jiang's own guidance, the result was the same, that is, to build this national youth team around Lin Dong.

All staffing and tactical requirements are based on Lin Dong as the absolute core. At different stages and faced with different opponents, a lineup suitable for Lin Dong's performance is matched.

The idea is nothing more than two sets. One is to use Lin Dong to play the 1st position as the starting point of the attack, and equip him with a 3D outside lineup. This is basically based on the outside line of the International Team in the third quarter at the Nike Summit. The 3-point thinking requires not only 3 points, but also excellent off-ball movement ability. On this basis, just equip a center to grab rebounds.

The second is to let Lin Dong play his favorite No. 3 position. As the end point of firepower, he will be equipped with a regular inside lineup, using traditional centers to compete for the advantage at the basket, and then use Lin Dong to create inside kills. .

On the basis of these two lineups, it is up to Jiang to derive some changes in rotation effects. For players, after determining the lineup and what they need to do, a lot of targeted training, such as Practice 3-pointers when you should practice 3-pointers, practice rebounding when you should practice rebounding...

Although the daily training was very busy and the training plan for each individual was also very cumbersome, under the coordination of Jiang's guidance, the entire team started operating very efficiently and quickly got on the right track.

After training, it is natural for a group of young people to have some fun, but it is nothing more than hanging out in the dormitory, playing cards, and putting stickers on losers.

In terms of age in the team, Wang Lei should be the eldest. Tang Zhengdong is one month younger than him, but Lin Dong is famous for leading the international team to win the United States, plus Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and other most active players on the team. Everyone follows Lin Dong's lead.

Wang Lei and Tang Zhengdong are both veterans who have been in the CBA for a year or two, and they still know how to deal with the world. Although Lin Dong is younger than them, his strength is here, and his aura of 'boss' has also come out. He has already begun to have fans, and even the Basketball Association has asked the National Youth Team to build around him. It is really stupid to compete with such a person for the title of "Boss of the National Youth Locker Room".

So while laughing and joking, the two of them also acquiesced in Lin Dong's position as the boss of the team, which made the whole team seem united.

Except of course Liu Ziqiu.

Poor one of the Qinghua twins, his days in the National Youth League are on pins and needles every day. From time to time, Zhu Fangyu and the others will mention his 10-0 defeat by Lin Dong in the Sharks, saying that he was reluctant to lose. The treat was paid for by Boss Yao, which made Liu Ziqiu very embarrassed. In the end, he secretly ran out and bought barbecue for two nights in a row, so that Zhu Fangyu could tell him the story.

But he still couldn't blend in. Fortunately, Lin Dong never took the initiative to cause trouble for him. Occasionally, he would stop Zhu Fangyu when he saw him. Coupled with his low-key and transparent nature, he could barely get through it.

Lin Dong was mainly not interested in him, but what interested Lin Dong even more was the two youngest guys in the National Youth League this time, Yi Jianlian and Cheng Jianghua.

With Lin Dong as the 'boss' taking care of them, the two of them lived a very comfortable life in the National Youth League, and they felt a bit like a group favorite.

The personalities of the two are also very different. Cheng Jianghua is the more cheerful and outgoing type. Lin Dong just extended an olive branch and he and Lin Dong were already having a heated fight within a short time. He was even more affectionate than Zhu Fangyu when he called Brother Lin. He knew how to make things happen. Son.

Yi Jianlian is relatively shy, and even looks a bit dull. He smiles at you no matter what, but he trains really hard.

Lin Dong has seen a lot of hard-working people, but he feels they are still a little inferior to Yi Jianlian.

He is not the type who stays up every day and works on the court until late at night, but the type who breaks down every minute and every second of training time and is strict enough to himself to put others to shame. type.

In the gym, no matter how hard other people train, you will always see them taking a break when they are tired, but Lin Dong rarely sees Yi Jianlian sitting down. This guy is either practicing basics or shooting. , and his rest is actually running... jogging around the arena or walking for a while is considered a rest.

This unique training method was an eye-opener for even Lin Dong. Once, he couldn't help but remind him to pay attention to rest. Combining work and rest is the best way to relax the body's muscles.

But Yi Jianlian just smiled and agreed while going his own way.

Lin Dong also lamented that he was indeed the last defender of the Dragon Kingdom basketball world. With such iron will, I really don’t know how he was known as Lotus Brother by fans in China during the 08 Olympics...

When it comes to strength, Cheng Jianghua is too young. Even if he is more than 12, Lin Dong feels that he is probably only 13. With a body of 180 cm and 75 kg, he will be bullied in the international arena. Anyone can rely on his body To eat him by force, Director Jiang added him to the list, probably mainly for training purposes.

Yi Jianlian's foundation is a little bit worse. Before 99, he and his friends played around on the field, and then he was sent to a professional sports school to learn basketball at the beginning of last year. Speaking of which, he is better than Yingying. Konohanamichi looks like he is less than half a year ahead of his time, but his rebounding ability is pretty good, he has a strong sense of protecting the frame, and he is lean and muscular. He feels that he is no worse than Sakuragi in terms of center of gravity, balance, and physical fitness. Compared with Sakuragi, Konohanamichi is only at a disadvantage in terms of wingspan and pure strength.

As for the others, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are already very familiar with them. They are better than Rukawa Kaede at this time, but slightly worse than Zuo Lan and others in the international team at that time.

Zhang Qingpeng, Moko, Wang Lei, and another substitute center Zhang Songtao are slightly behind, and their overall strength is at the same level as Rukawa Kaede after evolving in the international team.

Only Tang Zhengdong is the player who stands out to Lin Dong. This center who won the CBA All-Star MVP and three regular season MVPs in later generations was actually overshadowed by Dayao and his group of world-class insiders. In terms of personal ability alone, Lin Dong feels that the current Tang Zhengdong is also qualified to participate in the draft. He is slightly worse than Darko Milicic and Kwame Brown, but he will never fight back if he really confronts him. With his strength, he might even be able to create some surprises for the other party.

The overall feeling is that the strength of this Dragon Country team is much stronger than expected. In addition, they know each other relatively well and have enough time to run in and train. The strength of the team is still vaguely higher than that of the international team at the Nike Summit.

Lin Dong didn't miss a single word of LeBron's speech in the United States.

Frankly speaking, after watching the video given by Payton, Lin Dong no longer has a good impression of the future little emperor.

Lin Dong is not unaware of how difficult the U19 competition is. In his previous life, the National Youth Team he led failed in the quarterfinals. But this time is different. This national youth team is much better than the national youth team in 2028. After all, almost all the geniuses of the most legendary generation of Dragon Kingdom are here, and more importantly, I am not in the international arena in 2028. This little guy is broken and still needs King Nuotian to enlighten him.

LeBron, U.S. National Youth...

Swish!

Lin Dong made a super long 3-pointer into the net.

He smiled and clenched his fists: See you in Tokyo!

........................

Japan, Tokyo.

At this Nike Summit, Japan sent two players. Frankly speaking, for those in Japan who really understand football, everyone’s expectations for the two of them are just to get gold-plated and learn.

I really didn’t expect that one of these two people scored 10 points in a single quarter in the third quarter to help the International team take the lead, and the other grabbed 10 rebounds and even made a buzzer-beating shot at the last moment of the game... …

Everyone in the Japanese basketball community was stunned at that time. NHK even contacted Nike officials through the Basketball Association without any prior broadcast plans, bought the game video of the Nike Summit, and broadcast it during prime time on various channels across the country.

——Let’s resurrect with passion again! My basketball soul!

——The Dragon Kingdom has only one genius, but we in Japan have two! We will surely reach the top of Asia again!

——The genius from Long Guo came to Japan to learn basketball. Lin Dongjun used to practice boxing in Long Guo!

--ah! This is the breath of mother, we give birth to everything! Basketball is the love of my life!

——When I was doing the selection in the winter, as soon as I saw the red-haired guy, I thought he was a superstar!

——We also want to win the World Championships!

——Win the championship? Are you afraid that you are here to discredit our Japanese national youth team? The quarterfinals are already a historic breakthrough.

In an instant, the whole of Japan was in an uproar. Not only did they start to crazily pursue Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, the two high school students were instantly hailed as national heroes, but the whole country also began to look forward to the Tokyo World Championships on June 6.

Even before Lin Dong returned to the Dragon Kingdom, the National Youth Team had already assembled under the convocation of coach Anzai. Most of the lineups were also the winter selection all-star lineup that Japanese people are now very familiar with.

Center: Shigehiro Mori, Toru Hanagata, Takenori Akagi, Mikio Kawada.

Power forwards: Sakuragi Hanamichi, Tsuchiya Jun.

Small forwards: Kaede Rukawa, Dai Morohoshi, Minoru Matsumoto.

Shooting guards: Hisashi Mitsui, Ichiro Kamizou.

Point guards: Kenji Fujima, Kazunari Fukatsu, and Shinichi Mu, who has previously announced that he will focus on his studies.

In the arena, familiar people came in one by one. Sakuragi Hanamichi would chat with everyone with a big smile on his face, and then looked for opportunities to show off his highlight moments at the Nike Summit until he saw Mu Shinichi.

"Huh? Didn't the middle-aged man say he doesn't want to play ball anymore?"

Mu Shen looked at him calmly and finally replied with four words: "Bring glory to the country!"

"Hehehe..." Coach Anxi walked out with a smile: "Sakuragi, you must always remember these four words of Mu Shenyi. This is the greatest significance of the existence of our national youth team. We and the international There is still a huge gap between super-class levels. In these one and a half months, you will go through devilish training. Always use these four words to encourage yourself!"

"no problem!"

"Use whatever tricks you have, Dad! I can't wait to play against Brother Gao Ren in the World Championships! Draw a good draw, and then we will fight Brother Gao Ren in the first game!"

There was a moment of silence in the arena, and then a group of people who were quite excited at first looked at him as if they were idiots.

"???!!!"

"Shut up, you crow-mouthed person! Why don't you die!"

"Your Excellency, the Great Imperial God Bodhisattva, you, old man, must not listen to this idiot!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"Wow, wow, wow, I'm not going to slap someone in the face..."

"Hehehehe..."

The arena was filled with jubilation.

The Tokyo World Championships are about to start...

　Well, the description of details may be a little short, but in order to speed up the pace, the personnel explain clearly and the meaning is clear. In fact, some hidden foreshadowing is also done, and the specific emotional development will be unfolded during the game.

　　The World Championships start tomorrow!
