beast basketball

Just through a few simple one-on-one games, Stephen took control of the entire team very smoothly. No one would think that Stephen's ability is not enough to lead himself. When he joined the national team for the first time, he became a member of the national team. No. [-] character, Stephen, this is also the first national sports team with a very serious seniority ranking.

You must know that even Yao Ming took over the position after participating in the national team for two consecutive times, and Wang Zhizhi's withdrawal, and handed it over to Stephen after a few years, but Yao Ming didn't have the slightest grudge. On the contrary, after the training, they hugged Stephen's shoulder and chatted very happily.

The national team now has two major factions. Stephen subdued one faction, and the other faction took the initiative to make friends with himself. Naturally, other scattered players would not touch this bad luck and provoke Stephen, who is like the sun, so Stephen's authority immediately came to an end. set up.

The coaching staff usually doesn't care about this kind of battle between players, especially in the model of the national team, the coach will not try his best to intervene in the affairs of the players, but for the club, sometimes they have to Consider other factors.

While integrating into the team, Stephen began to gradually participate in the team's tactical training. In fact, it only took less than three days for Stephen to play well. After all, Jonas gave him such great tactical zi At this point, he didn't use tactics to restrict him, but let the tactics serve him. Stephen is naturally like a fish in water in this accustomed environment.

Stephen played the small forward position first in the national team, and Zhu Fangyu was naturally replaced. But now Zhu Fangyu is no longer dissatisfied with this result. Stephen has clearly proved his ability with his strength.

Stephen is still in charge of the national team's offensive organization and unrestricted fire rights, just like in the team. Liu Wei is only responsible for dribbling the ball across the half-court, and then gives the ball to Stephen for him to play.

This is the point forward style of play. Stephen is naturally familiar with this style of play, but after two training sessions, Jonas found that this effect is not very good. Stephen's cooperation with the inside is not a problem, whether it is Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian can easily receive Stephen's pass and score no matter how they move, especially Yi Jianlian. His shooting ability is a bit insufficient in the league's high-level confrontation, but in the confrontation In a lackluster game, he was exceptionally outstanding. His range from the basket to beyond the three-point line was his pace, which reminded Stephen of Dirk Nowitzki.

If confrontation is not considered, Yijianlian is a replica of Dirk Nowitzki, but Nowitzki is still in the growth stage when he enters the league. The Mavericks provide him with a very good growth environment. Under the blessing of Michael Finley and Steve Nash, Nowitzki did not need to bear so much pressure and eventually became a superstar.

It is a pity that Yijianlian does not have such a growth environment. The owner and general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks value him and the Chinese market behind him, but the head coach is not interested in this, and his teammates are even more interested in him. Full of disgust, which made Yi Jianlian unable to integrate into the team.

Without Nowitzki's treatment, and Yao Ming's high emotional intelligence, plus the age rumors really hurt him, the United States is a country that pays great attention to integrity, no matter whether his age is true or not, at least planted A seed of doubt.

Stephen didn't know his exact age, but Stephen knew that if he was really only in his early twenties, then he still had enough room for growth, but if this age was false, then he really didn't have much potential to tap.

However, for the current national team, his athletic ability and rushing ability are still very useful. Under the premise of Yao Ming's strong inside attack, his disadvantages become less obvious, and he cannot du li support It is not a problem to play the inside line of a team, but it is still no problem to support Yao Ming.

But even with Yi Jianlian, the three-point shooting ability of this starting lineup is still insufficient, especially as Yi Jianlian is an inside player, it is impossible to float on the outside all the time, and among the remaining two outside players, None of them are satisfying.

Liu Wei is a very comprehensive player. As a point guard, he has no obvious technical shortcomings. This is why his ability in the national team is not outstanding, but his status has never been moved by anyone. He can only gain a foothold based on Yao Ming's relationship, but he is not a qualified three-point shooter.

His three-pointers are not on time, and another reason is that he is used to having the ball in his hands and is not good at running without the ball. If he is a spot-up shooter, his three-point ability is not up to standard, but It is impossible to replace him, because sometimes he needs to be used to control the rhythm and liberate Stephen.

Wang Shipeng's off-ball running is good, and his ability to shoot immediately after catching the ball is also very good, but his fixed-point three-point ability is not very good. The ideal configuration should be one who is good at off-ball running and one who is good at fixed-point three-pointers. Points, such a combination coupled with Stephen, is an ideal outside combination.

Jonas thought about letting Stephen play the point guard, and then paired with Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, so that everything would be there, but after experimenting, he found that the effect was not very good. Stephen's current dribbling skills are too good. There is naturally no problem in the halftime, let alone in the international arena, but if Stephen encounters a double-team while dribbling, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu do not have the ability to dribble after responding.

Jonas has tried to put Sun Yue, who is just over two meters tall but plays point guard, into the starting lineup, but Sun Yue’s shooting is also not very good, not even as stable as Liu Weilai, Yonas can only lament the fish and the bear’s paw You can’t have both, if you think about one, you have to give up that.

The problem that Jonas was initially worried about that Stephen could not adapt to international basketball was not serious. Although Stephen had excellent physical fitness, whether on the offensive or defensive end, Stephen was more willing to use technology to solve problems instead of relying on his body.

After Stephen arrived, he also brought a habit, that is, after the training, the players organized a three-point long-range shooting competition. For each training session, Stephen gave out one hundred dollars in cash, and other participating players It is one hundred yuan, and then the competition will be held, and the champion has the right to take the money away.

Although it is said that as a professional athlete, no one is short of an income of one or two thousand, but young people are all aggressive masters, and the domestic tradition is that no matter how big or small, everyone has a good three-pointer, so basically Every time the whole staff participated.

With Stephen letting some water in, the winner for the first time turned out to be Wang Zhizhi who had been out of battle for a long time. This surprised Stephen. He didn't expect so many participants to be won by a wounded person. However, after passing this competition, Stephen also found that even if he tried his best, he might not be able to secure the first place.

On the one hand, in the absence of confrontation, basically everyone’s shooting rate can be guaranteed, and Stephen’s advantage is not easy to play; on the other hand, the three-point line of international basketball is closer to the basket than the league standard that Stephen is used to. In this position, the two 45-degree angles are okay, and Stephen is not used to the top and bottom corners of the arc.

After discovering this problem, Stephen began to strengthen training to improve himself. Now, for Stephen, the worry is that he can't find his own shortcomings. Stephen can correct them if he finds them. If there are no shortcomings, he can't correct them.

Seeing that a player like Stephen is still working so hard, the other players are naturally not willing to let others down, and with the help of Yao Ming, a training madman, the team's training atmosphere is even higher, and now the coaching staff is the one who worries. The training intensity is easy to be injured, so they can only work harder to improve their logistical support capabilities.

Unknowingly, Stephen is quietly changing this team. Before Stephen came, everyone’s most thought was to get seventh or No.8 in the Olympics, because the goal proposed by the country is to keep eight and compete against seven , but as soon as Stephen came, everyone couldn't help raising their goals. A Stephen with such strength came here, who can solve the problem of offense and defense from the outside line and combine the inside line. Get a medal, in this way, the training attitude and enthusiasm will also come up.
