Chapter 239 [Young and Frivolous]

[Chapter [-] Young and Frivolous]

When the Chinese team goes abroad to play games, they often bring a team leader and several staff with them. Of course, these people will not affect the daily work of the head coach. On the contrary, most of the time they will act as assistants to the head coach. Responsible for taking care of some trivial work for the team outside of the game.

This time the Chinese men's basketball team played in the Asian Championships. Li Yuan, the vice chairman of the Basketball Association, did not come with the team. Instead, An Youli, another vice chairman, personally served as the team leader. Youli has now resigned himself to his fate and played his role with peace of mind, but when he saw Xu Xuezhi again, he still felt a little bitter in his heart. It was because of this person that he lost the initiative in the power struggle. gradually towards failure.

However, all this is in the past. Looking at the prosperous face of Chinese basketball now, An Youli is really happy from the bottom of his heart, so he is fortunate to be able to lead the team to Japan to play games this time. An Youli treats his work very well. His attitude is very positive.

After communicating with Xu Xuezhi and understanding the team's requirements, An Youli took two staff members to Japan one day in advance. He wanted to go to Japan in advance to make arrangements for the national team's accommodation, transportation and other matters. He has already communicated with the officials of the Chinese Embassy in Japan through the Basketball Association officials, but there are still some things that he needs to take care of himself.

When Xu Xuezhi brought his coaching staff, a group of players, and two other staff members to Japan, An Youli had already arranged everything.

After everyone got on the Mercedes-Benz bus sent by the Chinese Embassy, ​​An Youli handed Xu Xuezhi a piece of information, which was the Chinese team's group schedule for the Asian Championships.

The Japanese obviously have no intention of creating convenient conditions for the Chinese team. The three group matches of the Chinese team were actually arranged in two locations. The first match on September 600 was in Tokyo, but on September [-] The second game was arranged in Osaka, which is more than [-] kilometers away from Tokyo, and the third game on September [-], the battlefield was turned back to Tokyo.

After getting the detailed schedule, Xu Xuezhi was so angry: "Chairman An, the Japanese arrangement is really good, our players have to play two games in four days, and they have to catch up with 1000 With a distance of more than two hundred kilometers, they really value us!"

An Youli smiled bitterly and said: "Old Xu, after the organizing committee and I got this schedule, I was also very dissatisfied. Of the four teams in the third group, only our Chinese team has played three consecutive games. The matches have to be played on different battlefields. Don’t you think the Japanese are bullying others? But... Lao Xu, although the schedule is a bit indifferent to us, you must lead by example, adjust your mood, and guide these young men. It would be better if we throw all this dissatisfaction into the competition!"

Xu Xuezhi nodded, and then sneered: "The Japanese are naive. Do they think that only teams like Chinese Taipei, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines can stop our Chinese team? How naive! After the game starts, I You should teach them a lesson!"

An Youli nodded with a smile, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. The Japanese are naive. Did you, old Xu, think it over?I am currently in charge of Chinese overseas players, but when you formed a team for the Asian Championships, you, Xu Xuezhi, didn’t ask me for anyone. You just used some U[-] players, two college students and one high school student to form a team , although Wang Zhen and Song Feng were recruited back, but they are not under my control!
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, An Youli also understood that if Xu Xuezhi really recruited all overseas players like Yao Ming and Ah Lian, for this Asian Championships, it would really be a bit of a cannonball to beat mosquitoes and kill chickens with a sledgehammer Feel.

After seeing the hotel arranged by An Youli, Xu Xuezhi and the others felt that the team leader's working ability was really not ordinary.

Although the hotel where the Chinese team stayed was the famous Sakura Hotel in Tokyo, their residence was in the suburbs of Tokyo, surrounded by cherry blossoms and a branch of the Sakura Hotel with pleasant scenery.

Looking at the beautiful cherry blossoms and eating Japanese food with rice, it has a unique flavor.

Japan and China are very close, and the players didn’t have to deal with any time difference at all. They got into the mood quickly. After lunch, everyone had free time to rest for three hours. At four o’clock in the afternoon, the Chinese team Training began on the open-air basketball court in the hotel.

For the Chinese team's first opponent in the group stage, Chinese Taipei, Xu Xuezhi really has nothing to say. Even if the Chinese team can only be regarded as U[-], the strength is not at the same level as this opponent.

In fact, apart from the factors of the schedule, Xu Xuezhi believes that it is a good thing that the Chinese team faces such a weak opponent in the first game. The boys of the Chinese team can play freely and do not need to feel nervous.

The members of the Chinese team also seemed quite relaxed during the training. Facing the reporters from major domestic media who came after hearing the news, although they did not accept interviews, they also made faces with those reporters one by one, showing that The Chinese team is currently not feeling any pressure.

After all, Chinese Taipei's basketball level is not as evil as last year's hit Taiwanese drama "Basketball Fire", and there is no "God of War" oriental "monster" Yuan in their team, only Tian Lei who is not bad in height.

After the training, the all-pervasive reporters still seized the opportunity to find individual players for interviews, and the players who had not been given a gag order were still caught by those old and cunning reporters when they were chatting. —

champion!

When the reporters heard this word, they didn't react for a while. They didn't realize it until all the players of the Chinese team left.

champion!

Turns out to be the champion!
The current U[-] Chinese men's basketball team, their goal is to be the champion of this Asian Championship, not the top four announced by the Basketball Association. But it is enough for these reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world to hype it up.You know, in the last Asian Championships, the second Chinese men's basketball team led by Adijiang only finished tenth, but the current U[-] team shouted the slogan of "winning the championship". Not small!

So, that night, the domestic media once again divided themselves into three positions, and started the war of words they are good at.

There are positive ones, saying that the young Chinese players are high-spirited and in excellent condition, and they will definitely create good records when they play lightly.

There are also villains who say that the players of the Chinese team are too young, they underestimate their opponents too much, and they will definitely learn a lesson in the game.

Of course, there will never be any lack of speeches from the neutral faction, and what they said is well-founded: the current "U[-]" Chinese team still has hope to create good results. After all, their head coach It is Xu Xuezhi, who has achieved great success in the Olympics, and there are Wang Zhen and Song Feng, the Chinese twin stars in the team, plus a bunch of young players who are newborns. The fighting spirit of this national team is definitely not a problem.However, the experience of this national team in competitions will be the key to how far this team can go.

No matter what the outside world says, Xu Xuezhi and his coaching staff did not regard Chinese Taipei as their opponent. They just called a meeting with the players that night and told the players to go all out in tomorrow's game. Strive to establish an advantage in the first quarter of the game, and win the opponent after half the game!

In other words, in tomorrow's game, the Chinese team must fully show the knife in its hand, so that all opponents can get a signal, that is, the Chinese team is going to start drinking blood.

Regarding this tactical idea, only Wang Zhen among the twelve members of the Chinese team could understand it. The other players just felt excited.

Wang Zhen is very clear that tomorrow's first match is a small test for the current young Chinese team. If they can easily beat their opponents with a big score, then the next group match will be a challenge. It's going smoothly, but more importantly, the Chinese team will give all the other [-] participating teams a blow and put some psychological pressure on their opponents.

Facing the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team, the Chinese team cannot afford to lose.

The next morning, there was a drizzle in the sky in Tokyo. The Chinese team simply had some active training, then had lunch in advance, and then drove to the Tokyo National Basketball Stadium.

When they arrived, it was only after two o'clock, and there was almost an hour before the match between the Chinese team and Chinese Taipei. The Japanese team just after the game had already defeated Kuwait [-]:[-] and won their victory. First win.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the Japanese team, the match between the Chinese team and Chinese Taipei also had more than half of the attendance.

Entering the locker room, Xu Xuezhi smiled and chatted with Zhou Chu, Feng Guojun, and Qiu Zhi. After all the players had changed their jerseys, he began to lecture with a smile on his face.

"Boys, I heard that some of you told those uncrowned kings yesterday that we are going to strive for the championship!"

Uh!
Individual players who realized that they were fast-talking all had a little fever on their faces.

Xu Xuezhi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I don't want to hold people accountable! I just want to tell you that since you have shouted out the slogan that we want to 'win the championship', from today onwards, in all competitions, you will You have to give me a good fight, at the very least, give me the champion picture first, no problem?"

"no!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Xu Xuezhi smiled and said, "Okay, today's game will be played according to the tactical policy we established yesterday. The first quarter will establish the advantage, and the second quarter will determine the victory for me. Listen clearly, right? !?"

"Listen clearly!"

"Well, now I will announce today's starting lineup, Ma Tao, Han Chuang, Mu Qi, Song Feng, Wang Zhen, the five of you will start the game. After the game starts, whether it is offensive rebounds or backcourt rebounds, you must strive for one. Don't let it go, as for how we attack, I think there is a 'genius' Wang Zhen on the court, so you shouldn't need me to talk too much, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha…………"

In the locker room of the Chinese team, laughter rang out.

These boys don't know what Wang Zhen is capable of. As long as he is on the court, he can attack according to his command. It's very simple.

"Okay, that's the end of the joke. Let's all go out to warm up now, and find the feeling of shooting. We didn't practice shooting today!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xuezhi took a deep look at his proud disciple, the current captain of the national team, Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

There was a silent exchange between the master and the apprentice at this moment, and the attack tactics that the Chinese team will adopt in the first quarter of the game were given.

Since the Chinese team did not rent an indoor basketball hall for training, this morning's training was unable to conduct shooting training due to the weather, so what Xu Xuezhi said just now was to remind Wang Zhen that today's game will be held at At the beginning, he tried to play inside as much as possible, and he also sent Ma Tao, Han Chuang, and Mu Qi, who were the tallest in the team, obviously to play inside.

Although the head coach has quietly arranged the tactics of the game, when practicing shooting, Wang Zhen found that his teammates seemed to be in good condition.

Song Feng, Sun Li, Xiao Jun, Hu Shuai, Xiu Li, Wang Liguo and others all had their hands in hand, and the basketball fell into the basket like a navigation system.

Xu Xuezhi, who was standing on the side of the court, saw all this with a smile and was overjoyed. Perhaps, in today's game, the Chinese team did not need half-time to resolve the game.

After the warm-up, Li Qingqi, the head coach of the Chinese Taipei team, gave his players some instructions, but Xu Xuezhi relaxed and just asked about the physical condition of his players. His performance was even a bit irresponsible. .

Afterwards, the game was about to start. The Chinese Taipei team was in charge of the jump ball with their No. [-] field base, while the Chinese team was in charge of the jump ball with No. [-] Ma Tao.

Although the [-]-year-old Tian Lei is the tallest in Chinese Taipei, his height is only [-] meters, which is [-] centimeters shorter than Ma Tao. The center with a series of titles of "Most Valuable Player", "Rebounding King" and "Scoring King" in the Super League showed his amazing jumping ability, and he just shot the basketball with a palm height higher than Ma Tao.

However, the current back line of the Chinese team is composed of Wang Zhen and Song Feng. Although the height of this back line is not very good, the speed of this pair of Chinese twin stars is absolutely astonishing.

"Snapped!"

The basketball shot by Tian Lei flew towards the half court of the Chinese team, but Song Feng and Wang Zhen completed the movements of turning around and starting at the same time, before the opposing No. [-] Chen Zhizhong and No. [-] Chen Hui had not reacted. By then, they had already rushed towards the basketball.

Even in the process of chasing the ball, Wang Zhen deliberately slowed down his speed a bit, letting Song Feng rush up to get the ball, while he protected from behind.

The Chinese Taipei team was very cautious. After seeing that they could not get the ball, everyone immediately chose to retreat.

After the basketball changed hands between Song Feng and Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen led the ball to the front court.

For the first attack, Wang Zhen still chose a safe approach. Seeing that the opponent's No. [-] field was restrained by Ma Tao, Wang Zhen focused his attack on Mu Qi on the other side.

Leaning against the opponent who was at least five centimeters shorter than him behind him, Mucci protected the basketball with his body, and slapped the basketball in his hand on the floor.

"Snapped!"

Mu Qi's tall and strong body suddenly turned around at the moment he patted the ball. After two steps towards the center along the line almost parallel to the backboard, he grabbed the basketball with one hand in his right hand and threw it along the rhythm of his body. to the basket.

Hook shot! ?
Wang Zhen shook his head with a smile, this Mu Qi, is it necessary to face a Chinese Taipei team and use his special skills when he comes up?
"Shh!"

Mutch's hook shot still maintains the accuracy he had in high school, but his movements are even quicker and more accurate. Coupled with his increasingly taller and thicker body as a cover, coupled with his flexible footwork, it has really become his signature now. A unique move.

[-]:[-]!
The Chinese team broke the record!
"Hahaha, good pass! Good pass!"

After scoring, Mu Qi was so excited that he raised his left fist, roared excitedly and rushed towards Wang Zhen, sending him a hug.

This is his first goal for the national team!
It wasn't until Wang Zhen broke free that Mu Qi retreated to his own basket and yelled: "Brothers, defend and don't let them score. These guys are tough, everyone cut hard!"

Mu Qi's words were transmitted to the country through the TV broadcast, and many fans couldn't help laughing. The current national team is not only too young, but also crazy!
