Through this incident, Stephen learned a saying, "The power of role models is infinite." When Yao Ming said this, Stephen didn't understand what a role model is, but gradually Stephen understood the meaning of this sentence.

After seeing the changes and progress of the national team, Stephen himself was quite comforted, and it was worthwhile to come here. After a few days of intensive shooting training, almost everyone's shooting has improved, especially Stephen asked Chip Engelland for analysis After studying everyone's shooting movements and hand shapes, he was asked to make a correction plan for these people to use.

In terms of technology, the league has come to the forefront of the world. There are countless experts doing all kinds of analysis. A team has research power in this area, even more than a country. Engelland has not greatly improved them. Instead, start from a small place and adjust slowly, striving for a more obvious improvement before the Olympics, but it will not affect the drop in shooting percentage.

The current national team is still relatively young compared to before. The members are either in their prime, or they are still in the growth stage, and they are all willing to accept such changes. In addition, Stephen used himself as an example, It is convincing to prove Engelland's ability. After all, when he entered the league, he really didn't know how to shoot. Many people think that Engelland was able to develop to this point in a year or two. play a role.

In general, after Stephen arrived, he quickly took over the team and did not cause major fluctuations. The national team is still a united, peaceful, friendly and positive team. In this atmosphere, the national team welcomes Here comes the challenge of the University of Memphis basketball team.

As the runner-up of the NCAA this year, the strength of the University of Memphis basketball team should not be underestimated, but because many of their main players, including Derrick Rose, are going to participate in the draft, and Derrick Rose is still the favorite of the No. [-] pick, so come here At best, it can only be described as the second team of the University of Memphis basketball team.

But the warm-up match is like this. Although the title sounds amazing, the "Four Nations Invitational Tournament", "China-US Basketball Exchange Tournament" and so on are actually just an informal ordinary game. When Stephen saw such a title, he also felt that He is not used to it, but he has been in contact with it a lot, and he also knows that this is a domestic habit, and he cannot change it.

Although it was just an ordinary warm-up match, because it was Stephen's first appearance in the national team, it still attracted a lot of media attention. When he arrived at the match scene, Stephen was surprised that the media came faster than the audience. Fortunately, a large number of spectators flocked in soon, but no matter how you look at it, these spectators seem to be organized.

Stephen even saw a reporter from the Associated Press, a photojournalist posted on the league's official TV station. Isn't it because the divisional finals are in progress? They still have the time to pay attention to such an ordinary warm-up match. Stephen said he didn't understand.

In fact, he himself underestimated himself. Many people didn’t think so about Stephen’s joining the Chinese national team at the beginning, especially for the Americans. Even if one more Stephen would improve the Chinese national team, it would not affect the American team’s development. For the gold medal, the biggest opponent of the U.S. national team is still the Spanish national team, followed by the Argentine national team and the Greek national team. Even if they take advantage of the hosts, the Chinese national team will have to rank behind these countries.

As Stephen's performance is getting better and better, and there are more and more amazing performances, if Stephen in this state joins the Chinese team and explodes in the international arena, it is likely to affect the status of the US team. I know that international competitions are a decisive game.

This kind of worry is not impossible, just like in the last Olympic Games, the Greek team defeated the US team in this way, and in the [-] World Championships, the Spanish national team also defeated the US team and won the World Championships. .

This game also has another meaning, which is to raise money for the earthquake that just happened. All the tickets, advertisements and donations from this game will be donated to the disaster area. Stephen did not go too far, but donated with his teammates, because After the incident, he has donated 100 million US dollars.

Although US$100 million is just a figure for him, it is already very top-notch in personal donations, and he also mobilized his teammates and fans to raise more than US$100 million.

Looking at the yellow ribbons all over the venue, although the size of the audience and the equipment of the venue are far from those of the venues where he has played, it is more solemn, because Stephen has been very busy in the past two years and rarely played this kind of exhibition games or It's a charity match, so it's easy to be touched by the atmosphere.

Yao Ming will not play in this game. The old injury on his foot has recurred. Although it does not affect the training, he cannot cope with the normal game. Of course, the most important thing is to play this kind of game. The risk factor is relatively high. It's really not worth playing with injuries.

Although Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian will play, they will not play for too long. They also have old injuries. Of course, as athletes, no one has minor injuries and illnesses, but Stephen can play. A lot of time, on the one hand, it is to increase the running-in with teammates, on the other hand, Stephen wants to get used to this kind of game.

When Stephen played, the audience all stood up and welcomed his arrival. Compared with Yao Ming who only has a world-class reputation, Stephen can be said to be a player who has truly reached world-class strength. Even in China, his influence is not inferior to that of Yao Ming.

Even the players of the University of Memphis basketball team, when they saw Stephen, showed a look of admiration and admiration on their faces. Stephen also came from an orthodox college basketball background, and as the main force of the team, he helped the team win the national championship. Entering the league through the draft, although he was the first in the second round, he became the top star of the league.

For many young players, Stephen is now a legend and a role model for them to strive. No matter how high or low the draft pick is, as long as you work hard and seize every opportunity you get, you will have the possibility of success. A role model for a player to watch.

Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Stephen, Liu Wei, and Jonas put out such a lineup, while the starting lineup of the University of Memphis basketball team is Willie Kemp, Weiss, Anthony Anderson, Dozier, Ta Jeter, there isn't a single big name player.

Facing such an opponent for the first time, Stephen felt like a goshawk fighting a rabbit. Should he use 50.00% of his ability, or 40.00% of his ability, or 30.00% of his ability.

The first thing to be sure is that this game must never be defeated. For my domestic debut, no matter what the name of the game is, victory is a must. However, the scene must be played well, and the dual goals of running the lineup and training tactics must be achieved. If you think about it this way, the game will not be so easy.

In the jump ball, Yi Jianlian, as a [-]-footer who bounced brilliantly, was facing the second team of the college team. Naturally, he won easily. The ball came directly into Stephen's hands, and Stephen just passed the dribble The midfielder immediately had the desire to make a shot. After all, the current distance is also the position outside the three-point line of the league. When the defender is still two meters away from himself, if he is in the league, Stephen has already Just shot.

But here, it's better to restrain yourself. Stephen suppressed his desire to shoot and took a step forward. There was still half a step away from the three-point line. Stephen shot directly, regardless of what was in front of him. defender.

As soon as Stephen made a shot, the audience began to shout excitedly. They didn't know what was the reason for the excitement, but Stephen's shot still fell into the basket very steadily, adding three points for Stephen's first time in the Chinese national team.

After coming back, the University of Memphis basketball team did not attack at Stephen's point at all, and even passed the ball far away from Stephen. The final shot was almost blocked by Stephen, and the result was a three-point shot.

It was the turn of the Chinese team to attack again. Stephen did not choose to shoot by himself this time, but ran with his teammates and finally used the breakthrough to attract the opponent's defense, and then passed the ball back in time to run outside the three-point line In Yi Jianlian's hands, Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer, but it just hit the rim.

Stephen soared into the sky, snatched the rebound from the opponent's [-] inside big man, and then took off again before he landed, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand for another two points.

The University of Memphis finally scored. After all, it was only a warm-up match. It is impossible for the opponent to defend against a point. After returning, Wang Zhizhi received a pass from Stephen and finally got an assist for Stephen. Here, assists are not so easy to get, although I have tried my best to improve their shooting.

In this game, Stephen's role was fully displayed on both the offensive and defensive ends. Driven by him, the Chinese national team took a lead of more than [-] points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Jonas Substitute other players and continue to let Stephen stay on the field, but tell Stephen that this is just a warm-up match with a charity nature. Anyway, the audience is already very satisfied, so some should be kept appropriately.

Stephen knew the meaning of what he said very well, so in the second quarter, he began to reduce the number of offenses he had and focused on assists. At this time, Stephen really behaved like a traditional point guard, distributing the ball reasonably. Possessing the ball and managing the team's offense, he will not take the initiative to attack unless it is absolutely necessary. Even so, the University of Memphis still cannot overtake the score.

In the second half, Stephen began to go down to rest. At this time, Memphis took advantage of this opportunity to attack. After briefly overtaking the score, the other players of the national team began to exert their strength. The scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. Before touching it, teammates have already overtaken the score.

In the end, the Chinese national team defeated the University of Memphis basketball team by six points. Stephen personally scored 29, nine rebounds and eleven assists. His quasi-triple-double performance made everyone marvel at how quickly Stephen integrated into the national team.
