Chapter 215 [The Future of Chinese Basketball]

[Chapter [-] The Future of Chinese Basketball]

The Chinese men's basketball team lost in the quarter-finals of the Olympic men's basketball competition, and finally failed to achieve the dream of the semi-finals that domestic fans have been looking forward to for a long time. Although it is regrettable, it will never make the media and domestic fans feel overwhelmed Much disappointment.

At the press conference after the game, Lithuanian men's basketball coach Tautas was in the press conference hall and said something to hundreds of sports reporters from various countries, which made the Chinese fans very excited after hearing it. if.

"We won today's game, but I personally think that the Chinese team is not a loser! Judging from the past record, our Lithuanian men's basketball team is much better than the Chinese team. I believe no one will deny this, but today Everyone has seen the process of the game, it was quite intense! My players were very tenacious. Similarly, the players of the Chinese team also performed very well. To win this game, I personally don’t think How much better my team is than the Chinese team, but our luck is better than the Chinese team."

The reporters in the audience laughed a lot. It is obvious that the Chinese team has been suppressing the Lithuanian team for more than three quarters. Why did Tautas say that they were lucky?
Seeing the expressions of the reporters, Tautas smiled and put on a very serious face: "Maybe some people think that I am trying to win the favor of the host fans after winning, but in fact, I am I think so! The overall strength of the Chinese team is worse than ours, but in terms of tactical arrangements and the ability to control the rhythm of the game, the Chinese team is much better than us, so they can be in the big game. We were in the lead part of the time, and it was only in the final fourth quarter that me and my team got some advantage."

After Tautas said these words, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, then opened the mineral water bottle in front of him and took a sip to moisten his throat, and then started talking.

"The status of Chinese basketball was not a big deal in the world basketball world in the past, but after today's game, I believe other countries should rethink what position Chinese basketball should occupy in the world basketball world. After all, from today's game During the game, I learned a lot from Coach Xu of the Chinese team, and I believe that my players also learned a lot from the players of the Chinese team! Here, I would like to solemnly express my gratitude to Coach Xu of the Chinese team, To the players of the Chinese team and Chinese basketball, I would like to express my deepest respect and say 'thank you' to you."

After finishing speaking, Tautas really stood up, bowed to Xu Xuezhi who was sitting on his left, and said in English: "Thank you!"

Suddenly, the flash lights in the hall flashed into one!
How big of a news is this, the winner actually shows respect to the loser, how can he say thanks?
Gee!

Gimmick!
This is a gimmick!

Xu Xuezhi didn't expect Tautas to play this game. After today, the Lithuanian men's basketball team who beat the Chinese team and rejected the Chinese team from the "Four Finals" will become the favorite of Chinese fans. A team, right?
No matter what he thought in his heart, Xu Xuezhi stood up immediately and helped Tautas with both hands: "Coach Tautas, you are too polite. Lithuania's victory in this game is due to its strength. Our Chinese team I have also learned a lot in this game, and my players have also learned a lot of experience. I believe that if our two teams have a chance to meet in the next competition, our Chinese team will definitely win."

"Coach Xu, I'm looking forward to our next encounter!"

Tautas smiled and reached out to hold Xu Xuezhi's hand, with strong confidence flashing in his eyes.

After the two sat down again, Tautas's play was over, and one person sat on his seat with his arms folded. In this match, Tautas was not at all easy in terms of fighting wits with Xu Xuezhi. , although he won the game, he was exhausted enough.

"Well Well--"

Xu Xuezhi cleared his throat, raised his hand and grabbed the microphone in front of him a little closer: "First of all, let me evaluate the performance of the Chinese team today. I think our players played very well in this game. Yes. In the face of a stronger opponent than us, our players showed a style of never giving up and striving for victory. Although we lost the game in the end, we can see that the future of Chinese basketball is still full of hope!"

"Crack, clap, clap..."

As soon as Xu Xuezhi's words fell to the ground, many Chinese media reporters on the scene clapped their hands.

Over the years, Chinese basketball has lost countless times, but only this loss can make Chinese fans laugh after the Chinese team loses, and they can be happy to see the huge success of Chinese basketball. Progress, I am full of expectations for the next performance of Chinese basketball.

In particular, the wonderful performances of the new generation and "Twin Stars" such as Yi Jianlian, Chen Jianghua, Zhu Fangyu, etc. have made Chinese fans feel extremely gratified. It can be said that the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympics has declared that Chinese basketball has entered the post-Yao Ming era. In the next two or three years, the Chinese men's basketball team will change from a "one-man team" to a stronger team.

After the applause subsided, Xu Xuezhi continued: "For the performance of the players in this game, I am proud of them!... Hehe, that's all I have to say. Now everyone can start asking questions."

"Director Xu..."

"Coach Xu..."

The reporters from the Chinese team below began to raise their hands to ask questions. On the contrary, the reporters from the foreign media did not have much interest in the two sides of the game.

"You...ask questions!" Xu Xuezhi casually pointed to a Chinese reporter sitting in the front row.

The reporter who was named stood up quickly: "Director Xu, I am a reporter from the "Basketball" magazine. I would like to ask you a question. How do you see the future development of Chinese basketball?"

China...basketball?
Xu Xuezhi touched his nose, smiled and said, "As for the development of Chinese basketball, I think it's nothing more than working towards a higher and stronger development direction!? Of course, I personally think so too. Our Chinese basketball It will definitely become stronger in the future!"

Mandarin!

Routine!

Of course, this will not satisfy the reporters off the field, so the reporter immediately asked: "So Director Xu, what do you think the future of Wang Zhen and Song Feng will be like for these two players?"

Xu Xuezhi laughed: "Isn't this a commonplace question? The skills, talents, and talents shown by these two young players during the Olympic men's basketball competition, I think it is enough for everyone present to write many, many things Have you come out? I don’t think I need to repeat some of the compliments I have given them? Well, let’s be next!”

A reporter who was casually picked up by Xu Xuezhi immediately stood up: "Director Xu, I am a basketball reporter for Sports Weekly, and I would like to ask you, regarding Wang Zhen and Song Feng's going to the United States to play in the NCAA league, do you personally think it is important for their future? Will it be beneficial to their development? Will it be more beneficial to them after they experience the training of the CBA league in China?"

Regarding this question, Xu Xuezhi had of course considered the future of his two proud disciples a long time ago, and he immediately answered without needing to think about it: "Going to play in the NCAA will of course be beneficial to their future. It is of great help. Of course, the level of the CBA league is getting higher and higher, but you all know that the NCAA is only the foundation of American professional basketball, and professional basketball itself has too many utilitarian benefits. Playing in the NCAA instead of Playing in the CBA, I think it is a very good transition for the future development of Song Feng and Wang Zhen. They will learn a lot in the NCAA. I strongly support them to go to the United States to play in the NCAA. ... At the same time, I also I hope that young Chinese players of the same age as them will have more opportunities to train in the NCAA in the United States. Not only will they have the opportunity to impact the NBA, but more importantly, our young players will receive the most advanced training in the world in the United States. The influence of basketball concepts will be of immeasurable value to the development of Chinese basketball."

"Papa papa..."

The reporters below clapped their hands again, and the atmosphere at the press conference became more enthusiastic. Xu Xuezhi's words really touched the hearts of many people.

At the same time, in the VIP room in the Wukesong Gymnasium, a group of officials from the Chinese Basketball Association were sitting quietly watching the TV screen in the room.

"Hehehehe..." A string of laughter broke the silence in the room.

Zhang Qiang, chairman of the Basketball Association, smiled and raised his hand to point Xu Xuezhi on the TV screen with his index finger: "Look, this little comrade Xu still has a lot of ideas!"

"Hehehehe..."

The officials of the Basketball Association quickly apologized for a while, and then the room became quiet again. Those who are familiar with Zhang Qiang's temper certainly know that the chairman of the Basketball Association, who has almost retired, is a person who seldom jokes. He said that this seems to be Gossip words must have a sequel.

After a long time, Zhang Qiang suddenly said to Li Yuan beside him: "Li Yuan, go find Xu Xuezhi later, and tell him that our Basketball Association is very satisfied with his performance in leading the team, and let him continue to do his job with peace of mind! "

"Okay!" Li Yuan nodded.

"In addition..." Zhang Qiang pondered for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: "I think our basketball association should carefully consider the so-called 'training fees' collected from overseas players. This thing will hinder the future development of Chinese basketball. In addition, if there are players in the future who have the opportunity to go to high-level leagues such as the NCAA and NBA to train, then our Basketball Association must not become a stumbling block on their development path. .Do you understand everything?"

What Zhang Qiang said made An Youli, vice chairman of the Basketball Association, feel very uncomfortable.

Originally, his scope of authority was limited to overseas players by Zhang Qiang. If it is what Zhang Qiang said, how much power does he have left?

An Youli turned to look at Li Yuan, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost the fight with this man who was more than ten years younger than him.

"In the past, our domestic players were subject to many restrictions when they went abroad to play. Although it was to ensure the level of our domestic league, everyone has also seen this time. It’s really improving very fast! And what about the performance of our domestic players? It seems that they can’t catch up with Wang Zhen and Song Feng, two boys who have only played in high school leagues!”

There was some anger in Zhang Qiang's words, and he took a breath before continuing: "I think it is very necessary for our Basketball Association to take advantage of Wang Zhen and Song Feng's going to the NCAA to promote the wave of Chinese players hitting the NBA. Chinese basketball must produce results that satisfy everyone within a few years! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

In the VIP private room, there was only this one voice left. Zhang Qiang's authority in the Basketball Association is unquestionable. Just what he said just now is doomed to a vigorous Chinese player's impact on the NBA. Movement will kick off.

The fate of Chinese basketball may really change because of this movement! ?
After the press conference, Xu Xuezhi returned to the locker room of the Chinese team, but found that all the players of the Chinese team were sitting there peacefully. Only old players like Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi were comforting them. The eye circles were even more red, as if she had already cried.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Xu Xuezhi suddenly discovered that the problems in Chinese basketball were not just caused by the concept of basketball or the style of basketball collaboration. There were also many, many problems with the players!
