The rise of basketball legends

In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the NBA Summer League as early as 1985. At that time, the head coach was Qian Chenghai.

In 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the California Summer League for three consecutive years.

There were also bright moments during the period.

In the summer of 1996, Hu Weidong, known as China's Jordan, taught Kobe a lesson and scored 30 points on his head!

Breaking through dunks, shooting three-pointers, stealing and counterattacking, and chasing the big cap, Hu Weidong directly confused Kobe!

Why is there such a fierce yellow player?

Although Kobe was only 17 years old that year, he didn't stand like a minion. His performance in the summer league was very brutal, and he even had an amazing performance of 36 points in a single game.

In this game against the Chinese men's basketball team, Kobe also showed the potential of a superstar, with offensive fadeaway jumpers, breakthrough layups and 22 martial arts skills, and finally scored [-] points.

But in the following years, there were no Chinese men's basketball players in the summer league.

In order to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team chose to go to the summer league again in the summer of 2007!

At this time, Dazhi had just returned to China for a year, and Ah Lian was still a fledgling No. 6 pick. Zhu Ba was still honored as the number one small forward in Asia. However, Dayao did not play with the team due to injury. The core of this team is "" Zhilian combination".

Dazhi, Ah Lian, Liu Wei, Wang Qi, Zhu 7, Dasheng, Li Nan, Du Guidance...

Nostalgic lineup!

Chen Yan was very excited just seeing these names.

Before the match, Chen Yan came to the venue early to warm up.

When the players of the Chinese men's basketball team entered the field one after another, he took the initiative to say hello to them.

As a junior, this is the courtesy Chen Yan should have.

This is Chen Yan's character, sometimes flamboyant and sometimes humble, he knows how to measure.

Among them, Chen Yan and Ah Lian talked the most. Ah Lian was Chen Yan's only acquaintance in this Chinese men's basketball team. They only met at the draft meeting last month.

"How is it? Has your English level improved recently?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.

"I'm still working hard, and I can basically understand it now, but it's a bit difficult to say." Ah Lian is still a little shy, as can be seen from his micro-expression.

"If you want to survive in the NBA, you must pass the language barrier. As long as you read more and practice more, you will definitely improve quickly. Come on, come on." Chen Yan patted Ah Lian on the shoulder and encouraged him.

The players of the Chinese men's basketball team are pretty good and friendly, but I don't know if Zhu Ba and Du guide them will drag themselves to drink every day after they get to know each other...

"Friends from the audience, the training list for the Chinese men's basketball team was decided in early April and finally confirmed in May. At that time, Chen Yan was playing in the NCAA tournament and preparing for the draft."

Before the start of the game, Yu Jia, the commentator of CCTV5, also explained why Chen Yan did not appear on the training list.

The fans in front of the TV expressed some regrets, but it was interesting to look back.

Let alone fans, even Chen Yan himself found it quite interesting.

As a Chinese player, there may be such a chance to play against the Chinese men's basketball team once in a lifetime!

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the third match of the Chinese Men's Basketball Summer League has begun!"

"In the first two games, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Grizzlies and the Kings respectively. I hope they can sum up their losses in this game and make persistent efforts to play their own style. I also hope that Chen Yan will have a good performance in this game and play himself. s level!"

Under Sun Zhengping's commentary with a sense of the times, the game officially started!

The United Arab Emirates jumped the ball successfully, and the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead.

Liu Wei held the ball to a high position, Zhu 8 used the off-ball screen to get out of the neutral position, and the two formed a tacit pass.

"Shh!"

Zhu Ba raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, piercing the Nets!

Take the lead for the Chinese men's basketball team!

Zhu Ba is not only ruthless in his punches, but even more ruthless in shots outside the three-point line!

This kind of use of running to catch and shoot is the technical characteristic of Zhu 8.

Phoenix Suns offensive round.

Banks didn't pass the ball after dribbling half-court, so he ran over Liu Wei with an acceleration and rushed in!

The summer league is basically about who wins who wins. Most of the players here are for a guaranteed contract, so they have a strong desire to perform!

Banks is considered a heavy point guard in the NBA, and Liu Wei can't stand his body.

All the way to the outside of the penalty area, Banks directly forced up before the UAE's supplementary defense was in place, and threw a right-handed throw!

"Bang!"

The ball was stronger, and it bounced high after hitting the basket's neck.

Just when Da Zhi and Ah Lian were about to turn around and take the defensive rebound, an orange light shot out from the gap between them!

"BOOM!!"

Chen Yan made a one-handed burst dunk!

It's like a divine soldier descending from heaven!

Sun Zhengping: "Oh! What a great shot! Chen Yan's dunk is really extraordinary! He just jumped up and dunked the ball in!"

Yu Jia: "..."

Yu Jia was a little speechless, if he didn't jump up and dunk in, could he still dunk in standing up?

It is a kind of torture for Jia to comment with Sun as a partner, and he often does not know how to answer his words.

Ah Lian and Dazhi looked at each other, a little confused!

It's not that the two big men didn't get stuck, but they didn't realize when Chen Yan rushed in at all!

Nearly 20000 fans on the scene directly fried the pot!

The audience did not expect to see such an exciting scene at the beginning of the game. The ticket is worth buying!

Other summer league venues usually only have a few hundred fans, while the Las Vegas Summer League arena can accommodate up to 20000 fans!

This is why NBA teams like to go to the Las Vegas Summer League. The atmosphere is so important to basketball!

Liu Wei dribbled the ball to Wang 7 after reaching the top of the arc, and Wang 7 transferred it laterally to Zhu 8.

The Chinese team played their own tactics in an orderly manner. The men's basketball team is full of veterans, and there will not be too many psychological fluctuations because of Chen Yan's frequent dunks.

After some conduct, Dazhi handed the ball to the air-cut UAE.

When Ah Lian pulled it up, it was a two-handed dunk!

Arab League is at the upper-middle level in the NBA in terms of height, wingspan, bounce, and bounce speed. Let him run and buckle in the summer league, and basically no player can cover him.

The fans at the scene continued to scream, and both sides used each other's dunks at the beginning to stimulate the nerves of the fans!

Sun's offensive round.

This time Banks did not choose to play hard, but handed the ball to Chen Yan after half court.

Chen Yan held the ball with one hand and put it behind his back.

Although he didn't make any gestures, the teammates on the field consciously pulled away for Chen Yan.

This is the card face of being the No. [-] pick!

Facing Wang Qi's close defense, Chen Yan played the ball calmly, and then there was a sudden change of rhythm.

Double CROSSOVER!

Where did Wang Qi's ankle suffer such torture in the CBA?

A stagger almost fell to the ground!

After Chen Yan easily broke through the defense line, he immediately switched to fifth gear and strode into the restricted area!

Take off directly against the supplementary defense of Big Zhi and Ah Lian!

A gliding lever, passing through the gap between Da Zhi and Ah Lian, scored the ball!

"Damn it! It's so elegant! Is this a walk in the air?"

"Hahaha, Wang Qi just jumped into samba on the spot by Chen Yanhuang!"

"Do you dare to make this air gliding distance longer?"

"As long as Chen Yan rushes up, the ball will definitely be unstoppable, even if Da Zhi and Ah Lian come together!"

The domestic fans who are watching the broadcast are very excited.

Although it was not the first time for most of them to watch Chen Yan play, they would express the same amazement every time.

"Bang!"

In the offensive round of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wang Qi missed an open three-pointer after running back.

Wang Qi is a very amazing player. If he doesn't defend against life and death, he will have a higher hit rate, and he will score consecutively as soon as he opens his hand. He is a typical player with a sharp knife.

Turning around and taking a step, Chen Yan quickly pushed forward after taking the rebound!The flash went straight to the three-point line!

The Chinese men's basketball team retreated in a timely manner. The game has just started, and everyone is very energetic.

Liu Wei is in the front, Wang Qi is on the left, and Zhu 7 is behind. The three are closely watching Chen Yan!

At this moment, Chen Yan made an unexpected move.

Start directly outside the three-point line!

One step into the air, Chen Yan picked out the ball from his fingertips!

Free throw line pick?

What is this operation?

Just when the Chinese male basketball players on the field were puzzled, a loud voice sounded.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the backboard heavily.

Immediately afterwards, a louder voice resounded through the audience!

"Boom!!!"

When the players of the Chinese men's basketball team reacted, Chen Yan was already hanging above the basket!

Throw yourself in!

Blow up the audience!

At this time, the camera gave a close-up of the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yunus!

Although he was trying to restrain himself, it was not difficult to see that Yunus was very excited through the subtle changes in his expression!

This is probably the first time he was excited by his opponent's wonderful performance!

Watching Chen Yan play on the spot is far more shocking than in the video!

Jonas has even begun to fantasize about the scene of Dayao and Chen Yan appearing in the 08 Beijing Olympic Men's Basketball Team at the same time!

That picture is simply too beautiful!
