Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 45 042. Bogut's Best Watchdog Award! (recommended)

For the remaining two warm-up matches against the Tigers, Lao You focused on increasing the cooperation between Xiao Ding and Dayao. He intends to make Xiao Ding the playmaker of the national team!

The Tigers coaching staff are all familiar faces.

Head coach John Cariappa was behind Beverley's blowup of the semifinals.

Not to mention the fact that a wrong order ruined the performance of the two teams. Two years later, the two basketball powers did not even have the chance to participate in the World Youth Championship.

The assistant coach is Cui Wanjun, a Chinese coach from Jiangsu.

The relationship between Cui Wanjun and the Tigers comes from the basketball association's coach training plan. To put it bluntly, it is to send him to study in the United States for a year to improve his coaching level, and then to use the Tigers as a target for the national team to improve his self-confidence.

In the four warm-up matches, Xiaoding averaged 24 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals per game. Cariapa recruited Xiaoding more than once.

"Ding, come to my University of Memphis in two years, I am confident that I can make you the second Derrick Rose!"

At that time, Rose was not selected by the Bulls, but in the latest mock draft, Rose topped the list. If nothing else, he will play for his hometown giants.

It is difficult for young players to resist the temptation when they hear such words.

Xiaoding, he neither refused nor agreed to Cariapa, his smile contained many possibilities, which made Cariapa feel itchy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

This is the best attitude towards recruitment.

The national team's training is a high-intensity continuous participation in official competitions. In the summer before the Olympics, the men's basketball team also has a series of warm-up matches, the Stankovic Cup, the Diamond Cup...

Dayao took good care of Xiao Ding, "Ding, you have to pay special attention to your physical condition. Don't force yourself into such a high-intensity schedule. After each game, talk to the team doctor. If you have any problems, immediately deal with them immediately. You are still young, and the road to basketball will be long in the future. Don't lose the big because of small things."

Xiao Ding accepted Dayao's kindness.

He knows better than anyone else the impact of injuries on players. The Olympics is absolutely necessary, but it doesn't matter if you can't play these crappy games, because it's just to make the leaders happy.

Before the Olympics, Xiaoding has been training in the national team training hall.

His training volume stunned many national players.

Especially when Sun Yue was stimulated, Sun Yue's talent is beyond doubt, but he won too easily before, so it was difficult to cheer up and treat basketball correctly.

Ever since being bullied by Dayao, Sun Yue must still be dissatisfied with Xiaoding.

Until he realized that Xiao Ding's training volume was twice as much as his, and the last trace of dissatisfaction with Xiao Ding backlogged in Sun Yue's heart disappeared.

Even a kid is working so hard, what right do I have to not work hard?

Sun Yue corrected his attitude, and the atmosphere in the national team reached the best state.

Besides Hua Tsai and Chen Jianghua, he can no longer say that Xiao Ding robbed him of his position, because Xiao Ding's sweat for basketball exceeded his imagination.

Apart from working hard like Xiao Ding, Hua Tsai didn't think of anything else.

Not only Sun Yue, Hua Tsai and other players who overlapped with Xiaoding, Zhu Ba and Li Nan were also inspired by this "nail spirit", and they no longer feel tired after practicing.

Lao You did not expect that Xiao Ding could use his perseverance to drive these long-established domestic stars.

Dayao looked happy because he had realized that he was coming to the end of his career.

UAE's personality problems make it difficult for him to be an excellent team leader.

So much so that Dayao did not dare to leave the national team. Now that there is Xiaoding, although he is still young, he has strong mental attributes. He and the UAE will definitely support the team.

Dayao believes that Xiao Ding will become the leader of the national team, and he is not his own spiritual leader, so he takes special care of Xiao Ding like protecting a seedling.

Except for the Diamond Cup, Xiaoding did not participate in other competitions.

The domestic commentary described Xiaoding as a trump card of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Of course there is no problem with this statement, but this men's basketball team is very strong, even without Xiaoding, it is still in the top eight in the world.

Xiao Ding is not a hole card, but a possibility, the possibility of helping the Chinese men's basketball team lead the offense from the outside and liberating the "Moving Great Wall" of the Chinese team!

Diamond Cup.

The first opponent of the Tianchao men's basketball team is the African champion Angola.

Xiao Ding sat on the bench wearing training clothes.

Lao Zhang, who was commentating on the spot, said, "It seems that coach Jonas still doesn't plan to play Xiaoding. We all understand his intentions, but the Diamond Cup is one of the three major FIBA ​​competitions. Such a good training opportunity must be seized."

What he said was not to blame Lao You, but to hope that he would give Xiaoding more opportunities to perform before the Olympics, on the one hand for military training, and on the other hand for Xiaoding.

Xiaoding's age is a big problem.

If he wins, the audience will only think that he is the icing on the cake. This big boy played well, but if he loses, the audience will put the shit pot on Xiao Ding's head, and even the old You who recruited him will be unlucky.

Lao Zhang felt that it would be better to let Xiao Ding play in advance, and use his performance on the field to prove that his selection for the national team was definitely not for sensationalism, let alone his background, but for his solid strength.

But Lao Zhang didn't know, whether it was Lao You or the national team players, they all had 100% confidence in Xiao Ding's strength, and they didn't even need to worry about him pulling his hips in the race, because Xiao Ding had a big heart beyond his age.

In the first match of the Diamond Cup, the Tianchao men's basketball team beat the Angola men's basketball team.

The second game against the Australian men's basketball team.

The point guard of the Kangaroo Corps is Ding's old opponent Mills in the World Youth Championship.

Mills was very impressed with Xiao Ding, so he was not surprised to see Ding Yan Yuhang's name appear in the starting list of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Bogut, the boss of the team, asked casually, "How about this 15-year-old Ding Yan Yuhang?"

His original intention was to let Mills make a few jokes. As a result, Mills said with emotion, "He is the strongest Asian defender I have ever seen."

"It's as if you didn't say it. Are there any good defenders in Asia?"

Bogut made a lot of teammates laugh.

Mills sighed, "Then let me expand the scope, he is the strongest guard I have ever seen besides Migo's top NBA players!"

As soon as these words came out, the air in the locker room of the Kangaroo Legion condensed.

Guards like Joe Ingles, CJ Bruton, Brad Newley, and Glenn Savile all stared at Mills, thinking that this guy is stupid, how can he increase the morale of the enemy and destroy his prestige?

The implication of Mills' words is that 15-year-old Ding is better than them, European guards and even some NBA guards? !

Bogut just dumped the F*** on Mills!

"Mills, I thought you had already seen the world when you played at Migo University. I didn't expect you to be a fool. You were scared out of your wits by a stinky brat. I don't think you are ready to play in the Olympics."

Mills was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

I saw Bogut showing that disgusting smile, turned around and whispered a few words to coach Brian Gore.

Brian shook his head regretfully at Mills.

As Australia's first NBA draft pick, Bogut's status in the national team is similar to Yao's. He kicked Mills out of the rotation with just a few words.

Mills became the god of drinking fountains for the Tuao men's basketball team.

Then after the 08 Olympics, Mills vowed never to enter the national team again.

Bogut weakened Tuao by himself, and indirectly helped the Chinese men's basketball team dominate Asia so far. The Chinese men's basketball team should really give him an award-the best watchdog award!
