Chapter 495 The 17-year-old Showdown
That night, Bai Jidong invited the coaching staff and players to the restaurant under his name for dinner.

At the dinner table, he talked about the team with the coaching staff, "Do you have any problems now?"

"Overall, there is no problem. We are developing very fast. Many parents want to send their children to us, including some who have studied well, but we refused." A teacher who manages student admissions said.

There is nothing wrong with this. The original intention of Dream Academy is not to cultivate high-achieving students, but to create an American basketball school to provide the best training environment for those children who have not entered the sports school.

"So, there are always problems, right? Are you going to tell me that there are no problems?" Bai Jidong didn't believe it.

Xue Wen said: "The biggest problem is that there is no high-quality competition. Domestic competitions are not of high quality. If you want to go to the United States to train, time is a problem."

"Playing with China's youth teams is not a small risk, and those big kids have a lot of moves." Rodman hated the bad habit of changing ages in Chinese sports schools.

"I will find a way to do this. For the time being, let's organize summer and winter vacations to the United States for training. This is the only way to improve the quality of the competition." Bai Jidong raised his glass, "Everyone has worked hard this year. On behalf of the Chinese basketball team, thank you gringos who have worked so hard!"

"Hmph, are you so thankful?" Rodman filled a large glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

In addition to patrolling the Dream Academy, Bai Jidong has another task, which is to advertise his upcoming White Wolf II.

This is his second personal sneaker, because he is no longer the "goodbye" of Chicago, so Nike made timely adjustments and updated Bai Jidong's personal sneakers.

Within ten days, Bai Jidong flew all over the country and typed up the advertisements.

Then, Bai Jidong boarded the plane and reported to the BJ National Sports Center.

At this time, the Chinese men's basketball team is training in BJ for the final warm-up match before the World Championships.

Bai Weidong's arrival ignited the scene, countless people rushed to watch, some took pictures from a distance, and some tried their best to get close to Bai Weidong.

"I'm not here for an event this time, so I won't have any contact with the fans. After registering at the General Administration, I'll go directly to the training center and report to the team." Bai Jidong accepted the reporter's interview.

The reporter asked: "For the World Championships in Yokohama next month, do you have any goals?"

"Of course I'm trying to win the championship." Bai Jidong's words sounded like a joke to the reporter.

As the captain of the national team, Bai Jidong has been quite conscientious in the past few years. Last year he also represented the national team in the Asian Championships. He just finished the finals this year. After two months of rest, he will go to the World Championships with the team.

When he walked into the gymnasium, Jonas was so excited that he dropped the tactical board: "The strongest man has arrived!"

"Coach, you've gained weight." Bai Jidong laughed.

"Because I miss you every day, over time, I gain weight." European Caesar would also joke.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Anyone new?"

Yunas winked, Bai Jidong looked over, he wiped his eyes, thinking he was wrong.

He read it again, then read it again, and then read it again, he was right, it was Zhao Li, he was actually in the training team!

"How is he?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Brilliant, the best kid I've seen in China, I can't believe he's only 17!" sighed Jonas.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Actually, he will only be 17 years old in three months, and he is only 16 years and 9 months old now."

"He is good enough to enter the national team. However, confrontation is a problem. He has just come here to report. I don't know if he can adapt to adult level confrontation." Jonas said.

In addition to Zhao Li, there is also a young genius in the training team, Chen Jianghua from Guangdong.

Chen Jianghua's official age is only 17 years old, judging from his appearance, even if he is 20 years old, Bai Jidong will believe it.

Standing with Zhao Li, it is easy to see the age gap between the two.

Of course, this is a well-kept secret.

"Yueban, you've worked hard." Bai Jidong saw that Yao Yueban seemed to lose a little weight.

Yao Yueban said: "Without your hard work, I will make a movie after the game, and I have to play the game after the movie."

"Okay, don't bury me." Bai Jidong took off his clothes and wanted to train in a pair of jeans.

Yunus cleared his throat: "White Wolf, you have to change clothes, you can't train like this."

"Ok."

Bai Jidong took off his jeans on the spot, took out a pair of sports shorts from his luggage, changed into a pair of sneakers, and handed things over to his attendants.

"Put me in the dormitory."

Then start training.

This was the first time that all members of the national team were present. Yunus organized an intra-team match, separating Bai Jidong from Yao Yueban, and Chen Jianghua from Zhao Li.

The meaning is obvious, try Bai Jidong's state, and then see what will happen when Chen Jianghua and Zhao Li, two 17-year-old geniuses, confront each other head-on.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Yueban jumped the ball by virtue of his height advantage.

Bai Jidong reacted very quickly, grabbed the ball in front of Liu Wei, and threw it to Zhao Li, "Xiao Yi, let's step back and let the little brother play a dozen."

"Oh..." Although Yi Jianlian is not very old, compared with Zhao Li, he is indeed a big brother.

Zhao Li dribbled the ball to face Chen Jianghua.

He has never heard of such a character. When he was 15 years old, he had already played all the invincible players in China, so he could only go to the United States.

Therefore, Zhao Li didn't know that Chen Jianghua had blown up defenders from other countries in the World Youth Championship.

For Zhao Li, Chen Jianghua is his competitor.

It is impossible for the national team to bring two 17-year-old defenders.

He and Chen Jianghua, only one person can stay, and he believes that person will be himself.

Bai Jidong also wanted to see Zhao Li's growth, he hadn't watched Zhao Li play for a long time.

The understanding of Zhao Li only rests on a pile of cold data.

Zhao Li made a false shot and started to attack the weak side.

Although Chen Jianghua was deceived, he was able to block Zhao Li's position with his body which was far stronger than Zhao Li's.

Zhao Li's offense was blocked and he made a pick-and-roll gesture.

Bai Jidong took a step forward, and Zhao Li broke through immediately.

Yao Yueban raised his eyes, but he didn't expect this kid to attack the basket head-on and raised his hand to block the shot.

Zhao Li attracted Yao Yueban's defense, threw the ball upwards, and guided Yi Jianlian into the air.

Yi Jianlian flew up like a griffin, grabbed the ball and dunked.

Zhao Li had never played with Yi Jianlian before, and this cooperation was made temporarily.

Yunus took a deep look at Zhao Li, "This kid is very good."

Steady dribbling, simple playing style, dare to order teammates, can pass the ball in time, and make accurate judgments. He is a seedling of a core defender.

Yunus gave Zhao Li the following judgment, and then observed Chen Jianghua.

Compared with Zhao Li, Chen Jianghua's attack is much more gorgeous, all kinds of amazing changes of direction are easy to catch.

Zhao Li's defense was very strong, and he was almost unaffected. When he got to the back, Chen Jianghua could only use his first step to forcefully pass.

Zhao Li's reaction was a little slower, and then he stuck to Chen Jianghua's body.

When he reached the penalty area, Chen Jianghua squeezed away Zhao Li and scored a layup against Yi Jianlian's help defense.

Yunus yelled, "Chen, it was a better choice to give the ball to Yao just now."

After the translator next to him finished translating, Chen Jianghua nodded to show that he understood.

"Xiao Li, do you need me to do anything?" Bai Jidong asked.

Zhao Li said, "Pick and roll."

"Okay, don't be shy, the coach wants to inspect you, and I will follow your orders in all actions." Bai Jidong joked, the more he behaved like this, the more pressure Zhao Li felt.

After all, Zhao Li was young and had never experienced this kind of battle. First, he let Yi Jianlian pick and roll, and then passed to Yi Jianlian who cut inside.

Yi Jianlian wanted to dribble the ball and dunk in three steps, but when he saw Yao Yueban, he felt guilty and passed it to Bai Jidong.

Defending Bai Jidong is Ao Shen's potential new star Sun Ye, who is two meters tall and claims to be able to play the No. [-] position. He is expected to be selected by the NBA in the future.

Bai Jidong leaned against him with his butt, and suddenly twisted his body to face the front.

Sun Ye was unprepared, and his entire focus was taken off.

Bai Jidong jumped up in a big stride, facing Yao Yuebanzheng and hit an NBA-level breakthrough dunk.

"Damn, you're serious!" Yao Yueban yelled.

Bai Jidong grabbed the basket and laughed, "Since when did I cheat?"

"Okay, then I'm serious!" Yao Yue said halfway.

Bai Jidong looked at his center Tang Zhendong, "Tangtang, I'm sorry."

"We are in the first team, there is nothing to be sorry for." Tang Zhendong soon knew what Bai Jidong had done to him.

Because Bai Jidong buckled Yao Yueban, Yao Yueban was very angry.But Bai Jidong is not a center, Yao Yueban can't take revenge, he can only vent on the innocent Tang Zhendong.

So Tang Zhendong was detained one after another.
In addition to the duel between the two national team leaders, Zhao Li also played well.

Zhao Li played the entire match and gained the upper hand in the duel with Chen Jianghua.

白已冬的球队最终以10分的优势战胜姚月半的球队，白已冬得到全队最高的13分，易健联12分7篮板，赵黎5分8助攻。

"This kid's offense is a problem." Li Qun, an assistant coach from Guangdong, said.

Yunus said: "His offense can't be played well. On the one hand, he is not familiar with his teammates, and on the other hand, it is due to confrontation. Don't forget, he is fighting against adults."

Li Qun wanted to say a few words for Chen Jianghua, but he didn't expect Yunus to like Zhao Li very much.

"I heard he played in American high school?" Jonas asked the others.

Another teaching assistant said in fluent English: "That's right, but he came from China. He came from White Wolf's Fantasy Academy. He is the first player of Fantasy Academy to travel to the United States."

"Yes, this little guy is very good." Jonas said.

PS: I think you can guess the results of the World Championships with your toes. Actually, I don’t like to write about the national team, but I can’t help it. I can’t just say how White Wolf led the Chinese team in the World Championships.As part of the dominance of the White Wolf at its peak, I will write this paragraph in a little more detail than before, with a dozen chapters, try to get it done as soon as possible.In this book, the detailed description of the national team's game is in this section, and it will be mentioned in one stroke in the future.There are only four changes today, and I have to look for the rosters of the teams in 06, which is a headache, but there are only four chapters, don't underestimate 12000 words, you guys! ! !
