ace marshal

Chapter 1406

Three years ago, when Yao Ming, who was the center of the Houston Rockets at the time, found Lan Shengli and recommended him to be the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Lan Shengli had already been closely connected with Chinese basketball.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, Lan Shengli also served as a senior consultant for a while, but Lan Shengli still led the team to the London Olympics as the head coach of the men's basketball team.

Although Lan Shengli failed to lead the men's basketball team to create miracles, Lan Shengli has done everything he can.

Dedicated everything to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Now the men's basketball team has returned to BJ and the headquarters of the Basketball Association. After a half-day rest, the summary meeting for the London Olympics has begun.

"Actually, the summary I prepared today is not so much a summary, but a summary of the Olympic Games, looking forward to the future of the team~"

"In terms of the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics and the current situation of domestic basketball, the road to Chinese basketball is difficult and long~!!!"

After the vice chairman of the Basketball Association spoke, Lan Shengli came to the stage and started his "speech".

Looking at the thick manuscript in Lan Shengli's hand, you can tell that he has prepared a lot.

"Perhaps everyone still remembers that a year ago, we had a thrilling victory over the Jordan team in Wuhan and got a precious direct ticket to the Olympics. Although it seems that we are still the dominant player in Asia, we no longer have the unshakable status we once had. , In the past Asian finals, we won as few as 10 points and as many as 30 points, but now we are defeated by the opponent. Made of gold, but its properties are slowly changing~”

Lan Shengli continued to speak in a very serious tone.

"Some people may think that the overall level of other Asian teams has improved and narrowed the gap with us. This statement has some truth, but under such a major premise, the national teams of other continents are also continuing to improve. , continue to improve themselves, they have a very good reserve of basketball talents, and have a very detailed talent training plan ~, they are walking on the right path and continue to improve ~, so, in the Olympics, we were defeated by Australia, Brazil, Even being beaten up by the little-known host, the British team, which shows one thing, that is, the strength of our entire Asian basketball world is far inferior to the middle level of Europe and the United States, and even at the lower level~"

Listening to Lan Shengli's "sharp to blood" remarks, the leaders looked complicated.

Because this is a fact that they are unwilling to accept and have to accept.

"Perhaps we can continue to dominate Asia by relying on the advantage of the inside line and the height advantage of each position, but once we go to the international arena, we will immediately become lambs to be slaughtered~ We don't even have the slightest strength to fight back ~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak, his expression becoming more and more dignified.

"But maybe this is not the worst thing~, the worst thing is that Australia and New Zealand will be merged into the Asian arena in the future. At that time, we may not even be able to rule the roost in Asia, and even lose our tickets to the Olympics~"

Lan Shengli's tone became more and more dignified, and the team members gradually lowered their heads as they listened.

Through Lan Shengli's words, they seem to have foreseen the future and the situation that the Chinese men's basketball team seems to have fallen into the "abyss of eternal doom".

"But the good news is that there is still time for all of this. If we prepare well, we still have a great chance to enter the Rio Olympics in four years. However, the Chinese men's basketball team wants to regain the dominance of Asia, and wants to shrink and compete with Europe and the United States. The gap between teams may take a long, long time, we have to change our talent selection mechanism, we have to improve our domestic league, let domestic players get more training, and we have to,,, "

Lan Shengli continued, these things seemed to have exceeded the scope of a head coach's responsibilities.

"On a larger scale, it is to make changes to the current Chinese basketball environment. Of course, this is obviously beyond the scope of my functions. I just hope that all of our Chinese basketball players can clearly realize that the current Chinese men's basketball team , is sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat~!!”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

Perhaps this is called "loyalty against the ear".

The summary meeting is still in progress.

After Lan Shengli finished his speech here, player representative Yi Jianlian began to summarize.

"Yao Ming left, and Ah Lian, but if Ah Lian also leaves in the future, who can the men's basketball team count on~"

Lan Shengli looked at Ah Lian who was speaking on the stage, and secretly sighed.

"I hope that the fire of the Great Wall of China Mobile can continue to be passed on. Although I don't know who to pass it on to, I just hope that the player who can continue to carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team will appear soon~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

The summary meeting is coming to an end soon.

"What's the next plan for Coach Lan~?!"

The leader of the Basketball Association here found Lan Shengli and asked.

"Since the end of the NBA season and the end of the Men's Basketball Olympics, I have been busy. I want to take a vacation for myself, take a good rest, and adjust my state~"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Then go back to the US to look for a job~, haha~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak half-jokingly.

"To tell you the truth, I think that if you want to coach our Chinese team for a long time, it is actually more beneficial to stay in our country to coach. First, you can better understand our domestic players and discover some better potential players. Second, I can also understand the situation of Chinese basketball better, and I am more clear about the future reform and development direction of Chinese basketball~!!, I agree with the general direction of the reform you mentioned before~!!"

The team leader responded to Lan Shengli.

"Besides, it's closer to home in China, and the salary may be a little less than that in the United States, but there is no nostalgia, haha~!!"

The team leader continued to persuade.

"Haha~, nostalgia~"

Lan Shengli laughed when he listened.

"I think, I still hope to continue to work hard in the NBA, continue to prove myself, and complete some goals and tasks set before. If I fail to complete, I will be very unwilling. Of course, I will definitely When I return to the Chinese team, I will definitely continue to serve as the head coach of Chinese basketball and continue to help the development of Chinese basketball. This is my bounden duty~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"It's just that now I really want to leave the national team for a while, and take a good rest for a while, and then I can continue to work~, isn't it~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to respond with a smile.

"That's right~, that's right~, haha~!!, that's right, a combination of work and rest~!!!"

When the leader heard this, he stopped persuading and immediately nodded in agreement.
