Chapter 437

One month passed quickly. Although one month was a little short in terms of time, the men's basketball team believed that this training camp was of great help to them.

The men's basketball team has a new understanding of basketball after experiencing this exchange with the Lakers from the players to the coaching staff.

The coaching staff gradually realized their backwardness, and they began to face up to their shortcomings and correct them.Under Li Rui's management, the Chinese coaching staff began to establish their own data system, establish management files for each male basketball player, and set short-term and long-term training goals for each player. The Basketball Association is also there A special fund has been applied for the establishment of a national basketball player database. This is a bold attempt, and it is also a new breakthrough in Chinese sports. The Basketball Association will hire professionals to manage and update this database. This attempt has been approved by the General Administration of Sports. strong support.

The men's basketball players have fully realized their shortcomings after competing with American players for a month. They originally thought that even if their strength could not be the main force in the NBA, they should be able to become rotation players. They can't enter the NBA, but when they really saw what an NBA player is, they realized how ridiculous their original cognition was. They began to sink their hearts to face up to their own shortcomings and start to correct them from the most basic movements.

The Lakers' trip to China this time was not without fruit. First of all, the most important point is to confirm that Liu Han's strength has not declined, but has become even better, and Liu Han also expressed that he will return to the NBA at an appropriate time.Secondly, the management of the Lakers team has made close contact with Chinese officials. The Lakers team will establish a basketball school in China and will hold a short-term coaching training with the Basketball Association every year, aiming to help the development of Chinese basketball. The Lakers team It has also obtained the permission to establish its own exclusive stores in various major cities in China. This is something David Stern has always wanted to do but failed to do. The market has gained a firm foothold.

What makes the Lakers players a little excited is that they have actually gained a lot of money when they came to China. A large number of Chinese sporting goods manufacturers are waving checks to sign endorsement contracts with Lakers players, although these endorsement contracts cannot be compared with first-line or superstars. Compared with the endorsements, but relatively speaking, these endorsements are a lot of money for these players who are in the rotation position in the NBA.

Even O'Neill has signed an endorsement contract in China. Although the value of this endorsement contract is not high, O'Neill is very happy that he can earn nearly a million dollars in just one commercial shooting. I am very curious about what kind of medicine "Silver Throat" throat medicine is. With the help of my new friend Yao Min, O'Neill tried this medicine. O'Neill actually started eating this thing as a snack.

A month passed quickly, the Lakers left China and returned to the United States, but Li Rui and some training equipment stayed behind. Now Li Rui has officially become the assistant coach of the men's basketball team, and also the executive deputy director of the newly established basketball technology management center , the director is named by the chairman of the Basketball Association.

Liu Han is also about to leave the training base for Haigeng, Yunnan, where he will gather with the Olympic team to prepare for the Olympic football match, and will participate in three warm-up matches in the next month.

In addition to the personnel who participated in the top nine matches last time, the Olympic team also joined three overage players Tao Wei, Fan Zhiyi and Xie Hui who played for the Bundesliga Aachen team.

The Olympic team was assigned to Group B in the Olympic Games this time. The opponents in the same group are Spain, Chile and Morocco. This is not a good position. In the same group, Spain and Chile are well-known strong teams in the world football. Although the Olympic team is mainly composed of young players, in terms of their football background, the strength of the Olympic team is far behind them, and the other opponent, the Morocco team, is also strong. Many players in their team have played for Ligue [-].

In response to such a grouping, the Olympic team specially formulated a targeted warm-up match. The opponents were Portugal, Nigeria and Uruguay.

After Liu Han came to Haigeng, he conducted adaptive training with the Olympic team. All players recognized Liu Han's status in the team. Even the "big guy" Fan Zhiyi didn't want to challenge Liu Han's status. The star who has won the title of best player and best midfielder in the Champions League, domestic players do not feel that they have such a status and honor to provoke each other, and most domestic players know that Liu Han is not just an ordinary player, He has the ability to go straight to the top, and even the leaders of the Football Association treat Liu Han with considerable respect.

Horton can be said to be proud of his spring breeze recently, leading the team to the Olympic Games, which made him speak more forcefully. The Football Association no longer set up the Chinese coaching staff to restrain Horton, but let Horton do it. After being re-elected, he also clearly knows that there is only one way for him in the future, which is to make Chinese football achieve good results. With good results, everything is possible. Without good results, it is estimated that his position will not be secure.

Regarding the preparations for the Olympics, Horton's goal is very clear, which is to play defensive counterattacks. As the weakest team in the group, Horton did not feel that with Liu Han, he would be able to challenge his opponents, so Horton Dunton's training arrangement for this Olympic team is defense and physical fitness, which is also his purpose of putting the training location in Haigeng, which is located on the plateau.

After Liu Han came to the Olympic team, he was very low-key. He talked and laughed with his teammates as usual. His low-keyness also won the trust of his teammates. No one would like to deal with domineering people.

During the training of the National Olympic team, Liu Han still found the problem of insufficient core strength of his teammates. There is no suitable standard.

Liu Han introduced his training mode at Arsenal to his Olympic team teammates, and handed over the yoga training and standing kung fu that he has always insisted on to his teammates, although some people don’t think these trainings will be of any use , but most of the young players have started to follow Liu Han to do these training.

On July 2000, [-], after a week of training, the Olympic team ushered in its first warm-up match against Nigeria.

The Nigerian Olympic team will also participate in this year's Olympic Games, but they are assigned to Group A. Although there are no Asian teams in Group A, the Nigerian team still chooses to have a warm-up match with the Chinese Olympic team. The relationship between them has been good, and on the other hand, it is because China has provided enough appearance fees.

The strength of the "African Eagles" is very good. They won the Olympic gold medal in the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, which shocked the world. Although the players who participated in that Olympic Games were too old to participate in this Olympic Games, Nigeria's football tradition is very good. Not bad, and the physical fitness of their players is excellent.

In the game, the Chinese team defended comprehensively, and the scene was very ugly. Horton put Liu Han in the lone forward position, but because the team lacked players in the midfield who could deliver bullets to Liu Han, and the Chinese team players fought fiercely under the fierce fighting of Nigerian players. It seemed very uncomfortable, which made the Chinese team hardly threaten the opponent's goal in the first half of the game. On the contrary, Nigeria took advantage of a loophole in the Chinese team's defense and scored a goal. Horton's five-back formation seemed too much. conservative.

After the second half, Horton decisively changed his tactics. He put Liu Han back in the midfielder position, and let Xie Hui and Zhang Yuning, who played for the Bundesliga Bundesliga, serve as forwards.

This adjustment allowed the Chinese team to stabilize the situation in the second half. Although the Chinese team players were very unstable under the close pressing of the Nigerian players, Nigeria's attack was immediately blocked after Liu Han took control of the midfielder.

However, the Olympic team failed to break through the gate of the Nigeria team. Liu Han did not take the set kick in this game. Horton wanted to use Liu Han's set kick as the team's secret weapon.

After losing the first warm-up game, the Olympic team summed up their experience. Horton no longer struggled with Liu Han's position. The team is weak. Instead of thinking about how to attack and score, it is better to defend wholeheartedly, and then find opportunities to use set kicks Fight to break the game.

A week later, the Olympic team ushered in its second warm-up match against Portugal.

Although the Portuguese team did not participate in this year's Olympic Games, they have a group of very good young players who are growing up. Due to the limited number of places for the national team to participate in the European Cup, the Portuguese Olympic team, which is mainly composed of young players, wants to find some players in the summer. A suitable warm-up opponent, the Chinese team seems to be a good choice, and Macau just returned to China last year, and the relationship between the two countries is in the honeymoon period.

Horton attaches great importance to this game. The Portuguese team and the Spanish team belong to the Latin family in southern Europe, and their teams have similar styles.

In this game, the Olympic team put all their heart and soul into the defense. Liu Han played the midfielder and Fan Zhiyi served as the captain.

After the start of the second half, the young talents of the Portuguese team began to strengthen their offense. Their understanding of the Chinese team was limited to Liu Han, but it was such a "weak" team that they hardly even had a few shots in the first half. , the young people in Portugal will inevitably get a little angry.

But just after the Portuguese players began to advance the defense to the center circle, the Chinese team started their own counterattack.

After Liu Han steals the ball from the backcourt, the precise long pass to find the striker is not weaker than the Portuguese player Li Jinyu. The forward will have such a choice in the counterattack, which makes Li Jinyu unguarded when shooting. The Portuguese goalkeeper's sight of the save is blocked by the defender. Li Jinyu scored a leading goal for the Olympic team.

After scoring a goal, the Olympic team continued to retreat defensively. The leading score gradually relaxed the mentality of the Olympic team players and improved their defensive efficiency a lot.

In the end, the Portuguese team lost [-]-[-] in this warm-up match, which was a small upset.

Next, the Olympic team will continue their preparations and welcome Uruguay, their last opponent in the warm-up match, in mid-August. Liu Han will also return to the men's basketball team to participate in the men's basketball warm-up after participating in the warm-up match After that, he will come to Australia with the Olympic team ahead of schedule. After all, the Olympic football group match will be held before the opening ceremony, and Liu Han still has important tasks at the opening ceremony.
