NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

At 8 a.m. on August 1, a bus drove into the gate of the Rockets training center and stopped in front of the dormitory.

Tang Yu was already standing there waiting. Chen Tie, the governor of the men's basketball team, got off the bus first. When he saw Tang Yu, he immediately took two quick steps to greet him.

"Mr. Tang, I have heard of you for a long time. You have made so many contributions to our Chinese basketball!"

Chen Tie was so good at interpreting the ways of the world that Tang Yu was even doubting how much contribution he had made.

"Governor Chen, you are too polite. Do you have to follow my arrangements when you come to me?" Tang Yu looked at Chen Tie with a smile. Although it was a joke on the surface, his tone was unquestionable.

"That's for sure, for sure!" Chen Tie said with a smile on his face.

"Well, I won't be polite. Let the players gather first. I have something to say."

Chen Tie immediately turned around and communicated with the men's basketball coach Deng Huade. Deng Huade nodded to indicate that it was no problem. He immediately called the players to gather, and then shook hands with Tang Yu and stood beside him.

Line up in a row, a lineup of 15 people, and finally 12 people will be selected to participate in this Men's Basketball World Cup.

Tang Yu said: "Young men, you have an hour to check your room and have breakfast, but I advise you to eat less. Gather at the training hall in an hour and disband!"

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the players. He said to Chen Tie and Deng Huade beside him: "Let's go have breakfast first, and then we will study the training plan for the next two weeks."

When Tang Yu and others were about to leave the restaurant, the players had just arrived one after another. Everyone was very surprised to see the Rockets' restaurant. There were no big fish and meat in China, and no junk drinks.

The most common ones are boiled chicken breast and vegetable salad. Yao Ming, A Lian and Da Sheng are explaining to the players, and they start to explain the energy intake every day.

However, the Chinese players seem to frown, and they feel that the good days are over.

Tang Yu brought Chen Tie and the Chinese coaching team to the meeting room.

"Everyone, please sit down. I don't want to say more polite words. This is the training plan I made for the players. Take a look."

In the first week, Chinese players need to get up at 5 o'clock. After getting up, they will do track training: 1 hour. The rest is the same as the training in their own training camp. The training intensity is very high.

In the second week, the wake-up time will be changed to 4 o'clock to further increase the training intensity.

Even the Chinese coach Deng Huade stared at it. The training intensity is too high.

"Can our players adapt?" Deng Huade asked guiltily.

"It doesn't matter whether you adapt or not, but you must execute it and try your best. Whether you can complete it depends on the players themselves. If you don't try, you will never complete it."

Tang Yu's words made Deng Huade speechless, and then he looked at Chen Tie and said: "Governor Chen, you can enjoy your vacation next. I will have someone arrange a perfect itinerary for you."

How could Chen Tie not understand what Tang Yu meant? He immediately smiled and said: "No problem, I will treat it as a public travel, but the expenses cannot be paid by Boss Tang."

Tang Yu smiled slightly and said nothing. Of course, he would not spend this big head of money, and the players' food, drink, defecation, urination and sleep all need to be paid. If he doesn't pay, he is really afraid that they will get used to it.

"If Coach Deng has no objection, we will start training in a while. Of course, the training still needs to be carried out by your own coaching team. Is that okay?"

Deng Huade immediately said: "No problem, sir, we will definitely cooperate."

At 9 o'clock, the players were already standing in the training hall. Tang Yu first observed the abilities and talents of this group of players.

Apart from Dayao and the other three, Dazhi is the most talented, with a talent of 82, but his age means he has no room for improvement.

When Tang Yu saw a guard standing at the end of the line, he smiled. Isn't this his nephew? He didn't expect that Allen, who is only 17 years old, was also selected for the national team this time.

The talent of his nephew can reach 78, which is quite good. If he has a better training environment, he can naturally go to the next level, but if he stays in China, he can only laugh.

"Alan, do you want to play in the NBA in the future?" Tang Yu asked in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Tang Yu to be interested in a 17-year-old child.

Allen was obviously stunned, and then he said without any stage fright: "I want to, this is the dream of every athlete."

Tang Yu nodded and asked: "Are you interested in coming here to study in college?"

Allen said without hesitation this time: "I want to, but the team will not let me go. I am a player in the system. The team has trained me, and I want to contribute to the team."

This sentence is the helplessness of the players themselves, Tang Yu looked at Chen Tie, who also smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.

"It doesn't matter, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. I think your team will agree to let you play here, don't you think so, Governor Chen?"

Tang Yu looked at the governor with a smile, and Governor Chen, who was suppressed by Tang Yu's aura, could only nod his head repeatedly, "The country is the biggest, the country is the biggest!"

"You go back and deal with his parent team, and I want to train as many talents as possible for China. How about this, you can send six potential players to Houston every summer, and Allen's parent team will have an exclusive quota. It's my compensation to them."

Governor Chen immediately smiled, and he didn't expect that the plan he wanted to propose would be implemented like this.

"No problem, thank you so much Mr. Tang. We will definitely remember your contribution to Chinese basketball."

"That's not necessary, but what I want to say is that the players sent here must be the best young players. If I find out the trick, I don't need to say more about the result. I think you will know my background to some extent. I don't want anyone to make a scandal that affects the entire Chinese basketball for their own selfish interests!"

Tang Yu's warning was spoken in public. The players were obviously stunned and sighed in their hearts that Tang Yu really dared to say anything.

Chen Tie's forehead was sweating. Tang Yu's aura was really terrible.

"Definitely, definitely, I will personally supervise this matter, and there will definitely be no problems!"

Tang Yu nodded, looked at the players and said: "Young men, what are you still doing, run back and forth 50 times and then get to the gym!"

Dayao immediately took the lead in running back and forth. Some players were obviously unable to keep up with the pace after running ten times, and the youngest nephew was still gritting his teeth and persisting.

Tang Yu yelled, "Damn it, didn't I tell you to eat just now? If you don't want to run, get off immediately. I'll book you a flight ticket and go back!"

The players who were behind immediately quickened their pace. After this group of players returned home, the nickname of Rocket Tang Devil spread like wildfire in China!
