Chapter 1336 Extremely conservative goal

With more than half a month left before the opening of the London Olympics, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the 12-man roster of the men's basketball team that will eventually go to the Olympics.

Insiders: Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhang Zhaoxu.

Forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Yi Li, Ding Jinhui, Zhou Peng.

Defenders: Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua, Guo Ailun.

Head Coach: Lan Shengli.

Such a lineup of players is basically no different from last year's Wuhan Asian Championships.

What kind of results Lan Shengli can lead such a lineup depends on the preparations in the final stage.

"I have been in the national team for a month, and I have seen the hard work of each of you, the progress of each of you, and the fighting spirit of each of you to fight for the country. I like this fighting spirit in you, although you may end up I can’t represent the Chinese men’s basketball team in the London Olympics, but you have to know that the Chinese men’s basketball team is not just composed of these 12 people, it is composed of all Chinese basketball players. You have done everything for the Chinese men’s basketball team and to help the team prepare for the Olympics There are so many, it is already very respectable~!!"

Lan Shengli found a few players who were not selected for the final squad of the national team and encouraged them.

"Next year we will have the Asian Championships, and the next year we will have the Asian Games. These competitions are good opportunities for everyone to play for the country~ After returning to the club, train hard and prepare well. I hope to see you again , to be able to be like the Wuxia Ameng, three days away, you should be impressed~"

Lan Shengli continued to send messages.

The team members listened, nodded, and hugged Lan Shengli one by one, and finally left the basketball association and the national team.

As for the remaining players, Lan Shengli also called them together and chatted.

"Just like what I said when I first came to the men's basketball team, you don't represent yourself, you represent China on your jersey chest, you represent China, the sense of honor of fighting for the country, I I hope you will always remember it and be proud of it. Even if you will leave the national team one after another in the future, the sense of honor and pride of playing here should be your professional players and Chinese people. , I will never forget it in my life~”

Lan Shengli said.

"Including me too, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to represent my motherland. This sense of honor, this sense of mission will be impressive for many years to come~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"I hope myself, and I hope you, will not leave regrets for yourself, work hard, win glory for the country, do our best, become a better men's basketball player, and make the Chinese team better~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

The players listened, clapped their hands, and nodded.

The team members recognized Lan Shengli's encouragement, felt it, and accepted the mission of being loyal to the country.

After the mobilization meeting within the team, the Chinese men's basketball team quickly participated in the pre-Olympic swearing-in meeting held by the State Sports General Administration.

This is an important meeting that the Chinese Olympic team must go through before each Olympic Games.

The director of the State Sports General Administration, the chairman of the National Olympic Committee, and other major leaders are all in place.

A meeting about the Olympic goals that Chinese Olympic athletes will set is about to begin.

The diving team, table tennis team, badminton team, weightlifting team, shooting team, etc. are very strong sports in the Chinese Olympic Games. Basically, the goal is the same, that is to "win the gold", and the basic goal like basketball It is even more important to set goals for events that are difficult to achieve even medals.

As the head coach of the men's basketball team, Lan Shengli came to the stage and stated his goals for the team as the head coach of the men's basketball team.

"In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the top eight results and made a historic breakthrough. In the 2008 BJ Olympic Games, under the tenacious struggle of Yao Ming and other players, we once again achieved the top eight good results. There is also the classic overtime game against the runner-up Spain, which was a glorious moment for the Chinese men's basketball team~ It is not easy to appear in the death group."

Lan Shengli recalled the past.

Indeed, the Chinese team accompanied by Yao Ming is so powerful and so invincible.

While Asia's dominance is unshakable, it also has exchanges with European and American powerhouses.

"Nowadays, with the renewal of the Chinese men's basketball team and Yao Ming's retirement, our men's basketball team is not as strong as before. There is no doubt about it. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to hit the top eight again. The situation~, based on the fact that we don't even have that kind of stable defense and dominance in Asia~"

Lan Shengli changed the subject and continued.

"So in my opinion, the mission of the men's basketball team in the London Olympics today is to use the greatest effort to win the next game as much as possible~!!"

Lan Shengli continued.

"At least one victory in the group stage is determined based on the current men's basketball ability and actual situation~"

Lan Shengli added.

At least one victory in the group stage, which is really far from the Olympic quarterfinals.

After Lan Shengli finished talking about such a goal, including the director of the General Administration of Sports and the leaders of the Olympic Committee, they all frowned, looked at each other, and then at Lan Shengli, and began to discuss.

Perhaps the leaders are not very satisfied with such a goal.

Or maybe the leaders don't even know what the state of the men's basketball team is like today.

"Of course, this is just one of our established goals. Facing Spain, Brazil and other strong teams in Europe and the United States, as well as the host team, the British team, we will fight each other every game, and we will do our best to win every game and play our Chinese men's basketball team. His demeanor, there is no doubt~!!"

Lan Shengli nodded and continued talking.

At least one victory in the group stage seems to be the goal that Lan Shengli has set for the team.

As for the opponents in the group stage, in addition to Spain and Brazil, the two top European and American teams, there are also the hosts, the British team, the Russian team and the Australian champion Australia.

In such a grouping form, the Chinese team can see how severe it is.

European champion Spain, South American champion Brazil, Oceania champion Australia.

Although the Chinese team is also the Asian champion, the quality of this champion is really inferior to that of champions from other continents.

"In my impression, Coach Lan is not a conservative person, nor is he a conservative coach, but you,,, set an extremely conservative goal for the team~!!!"

The director thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
