I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 304 Men's basketball training camp, seeing the Arab League for the first time

After the achievement of the three consecutive championships, the Bucks and their team did not stay in Sacramento, but flew back to Milwaukee early the next morning.

Contrary to the plan in advance, He Li and others were completely surrounded as soon as they got off the plane, and there was no chance to return to the Bradley Center, and then began to celebrate the three consecutive championships.

Because the Milwaukee fans who heard the news were too enthusiastic, He Li and other Bucks players had to actively participate in the championship parade.

Because it was beyond the plan, there were some chaos in this championship parade, and traffic jams in Milwaukee for a whole day.

And He Li and others also had the opportunity to be in the car, hungry all day.

Of course, it's not that He Li and the others didn't eat, but they mainly had popcorn and other snacks.

Players consume a lot of energy and eat a lot. They wave to people in the car all day, occasionally take a few bites of snacks, and then rely on drinks to satisfy their hunger. Naturally, they will not be full.

In addition, the Bucks have held two championship parades in the past two years, and today they are staged again, which makes He Li and others feel that it is not so fresh.

It is indeed gratifying to win the championship, but this championship is expected.

Even if it is difficult to achieve the three consecutive championships, everyone should have been happy last night.

Therefore, during the next two days of celebrations for winning the championship, He Li and the others lost their interest.

For the next offseason, everyone is looking forward to finding a place for vacation and taking a good rest for a while.

Sometimes, it is actually a very pleasant thing to be able to put down basketball, return to life, and be with family and friends.

However, He Li was not so lucky and had no chance to enjoy such a life.

Because He Li is now at the core of the Chinese men's basketball team. He Li must be responsible for the Chinese men's basketball team, the Chinese fans, and the national honor.

As early as last year, a certain association was actively preparing for this year's Olympic basketball tournament.

For this reason, the national men's basketball team finally has a foreign coach.

The original plan was to find George Karl. After all, George Karl is familiar with He Li, and he is the best foreign coach who is good at using He Li.

There is no doubt that if the men's basketball team wants to achieve results in the Athens Olympics, He Li's performance is crucial!
Even though Yao Ming is already a true All-Star center, He Li is the FMVP for three consecutive years. The difference in strength and status between the two can be described as "disparity".

However, George Karl, an old white man, has no interest in coaching the Chinese men's basketball team.

Therefore, a certain association took the next best thing and found the first assistant coach of the Bucks-Terry Stotts.

If you can bring back Stotts and use the point of He Li, basically there will be no problem.

This idea is really good, and the two sides are new to each other, so there is no problem.

Stotts did have some ideas at the beginning. After all, he has a super giant like He Li under his command, so it is still very cool to coach.

However, before the start of this year's All-Star Game, the general managers of some teams that laid off their head coaches in the middle of the season contacted Stotts, hoping that he could become their team's head coach.

Stotts' contract with the Bucks is not over, and he doesn't want to take the blame, so he didn't leave directly. Instead, he decided to accept the third championship ring before he had the idea of ​​starting a new one.

Because of the new burden on his shoulders, Stotts had no time to prepare for the Olympics. Stotts, who had such an idea at the time, shirked the task of coaching the Chinese men's basketball team.

If you take the initiative to find someone but are rejected, then there is no other way, what should you do if you can’t find a foreign coach?
That can only be treated as a living horse doctor by a dead horse, looking for trusteeship in the international basketball circle, and getting rid of them to help find a suitable coach.

When the international basketball circle heard the news, it was also very proactive, and the news quickly spread to the United States.

The Mavericks responded immediately!

In view of the previous friendly relationship and the good impression of the Mavericks in China, a certain association soon sent Wang Fei to contact the Mavericks.

Mavericks assistant coach Silver Fox Harris is willing to coach the Chinese men's basketball team because he doesn't think the salary is low, and he is not afraid of the fatigue.

The Mavericks head coach Nelson also used his friendly relationship with a Lithuanian association to help an association contact Lithuanian coach Jonas.

When Yunus learned that He Li was about to participate in the Olympic Games, he quickly said that the world is so big and I want to see it.

Ever since, Harris and Jonas arrived in the imperial capital after the NBA All-Star Game, held a meeting with a certain association, and expressed their official entry into the Chinese men's basketball team.

Since Harris is still serving as the chief assistant coach of the Mavericks, the men's basketball team is mainly led by Jonas.

As early as the beginning of March, the men's basketball team started training for the Olympics.

During the men's basketball training camp, there was even an incident where Aoshen refused to release Sun Yue.

Fortunately, He Li made a phone call to make the big issue smaller, and then Wang Zhizhi showed up to say that the boss of Aoshen knew the seriousness of the matter, and saw that He Li and Wang Zhizhi took the initiative to step down, so he let Sun Yue return.

In fact, Sun Yue is still young and can't play basketball after returning to the men's basketball team. He is mainly preparing for the 08 Olympics.

Of course, if you don't come back this time, don't think about it next time.

What is the strength of the men's basketball team, with Yao Ming, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi, the starting lineup has basically assembled an NBA lineup, and there is no need to look forward to Sun Yue's talent.

But Sun Yue is always his own child, there is no need to live outside.

With He Li leading the team this year, the Chinese men's basketball team is very likely to win a medal in the Olympics. Even if Sun Yue can't play the ball when he comes back, it's good to be plated with gold and have mixed qualifications. It's better than nothing.

In other words, under the coaching of Jonas, the men's basketball team trained for almost 75 days from early March to late May.

Wait until May 5, the first round of warm-up matches before the Olympics will start.

An association invited Australia, Brazil, Croatia, Canada and other teams to China to participate in the China International Men's Basketball Super Tournament that started in late May.

Unfortunately, in the absence of four NBA players, He Li, Yao Ming, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi, the men's basketball team did not achieve what it should have.

Not to mention the poor record of the men's basketball team in the tour, the effect of training is also unclear.

For this reason, the men's basketball team can only rush to the United States after the NBA playoffs, let alone He Li and others meet up for a new round of warm-up matches.

Of course, this is not only for the purpose of training with games and enhancing the training effect, but also to speed up the team's running-in.

No matter how strong He Li is, he also needs to cooperate with his teammates and have a chemical reaction.

Therefore, He Li ended his championship celebration in Milwaukee, only took time to rest for a day, and then flew to Dallas.

As for why not Dallas?That is naturally because the training location for the men's basketball team to the United States is in Dallas.

From the arrival of the men's basketball team in Dallas, the men's basketball coach Harris also officially returned to the team.

As the Mavericks' chief assistant coach, Harris used some resources to organize the league's wandering undrafted picks and veterans who are about to retire to form a "free summer league team."

In addition, the Mavericks also fully expressed their friendship with the Chinese men's basketball team. Nelson Sr. asked his son Nelson Jr. to take the Mavericks' summer league team to play a warm-up match with the Chinese men's basketball team.

The men's basketball team arrived in Dallas by plane on June 6. First, they had a two-week training under the direction of Harris and the help of the Mavericks coaching staff, and then a one-week warm-up match.

When He Li arrived in Dallas, the men's basketball training had not yet ended, but the warm-up match was not far away.

He Li, as the core of the Chinese men's basketball team, was the last one to arrive, so I feel a little ashamed to say it.

However, He Li has just won the championship and is a historic three-time champion. Everyone understands that He Li is very busy!

He Li was able to take time out of his busy schedule to come here and make small troubles with them. This is really unassuming, very selfless, and very teamwork.

To be honest, He Li has never played in the summer league except for his first season as a rookie.

After all, for a star like He Li who won the championship and won the FMVP in the first year of his rookie season, playing in the summer league simply does not give others room to play.

No player in the summer league wants to actually run into He Li, except when looking for He Li for his autograph.

But now, He Li is really here!

Although He Li didn't want to do this, but he had to.

But He Li, the NBA's three-time FMVP, came to the three-team summer league hastily organized by the Mavericks, which is a bit of a bully.

Of course, it was impossible for He Li to start at the beginning.

This summer league will play at least four games. Even if He Li has arrived in Dallas, He Li will not participate in the first two games, and even Yao Ming and others will not participate in the first warm-up match.

Other players in the Chinese men's basketball team must recognize the gap between them and NBA players, and then recognize the gap with NBA starters, NBA All-Stars, and NBA championship MVP.

"Dali, come so early? I thought you were two days late?"

When He Li arrived, he saw Battelle resting on the bench while Yao Ming was still training on the court.

Battelle and He Li used to be teammates, and the two met again, but it was no surprise that Battelle took the initiative to say hello to He Li.

After listening to Battelle's greeting, He Li exchanged pleasantries with him: "For two days, Milwaukee has nothing to do.

Let's celebrate winning!That’s it, as you know, the main thing is the championship parade, which is a bit interesting at the beginning, but gets boring afterward. "

"Yes. Indeed! You're bored, and I'm bored too!
I only participated once, and I felt bored.

We are not Americans, so there is no way to bring them in like Americans.

If you can't understand urban culture or something, you won't feel it.

In fact, I'm fine. You guys have participated three times, and you're in a small city like Milwaukee. I'm afraid you're depressed, right? "

Battelle felt the same way.

Yao Ming and others saw that He Li had arrived. In order to show respect for He Li, the core of the team, they stopped training and walked towards He Li. Who would have thought that as soon as they got close, they heard He Li and Battelle bragging about each other.

No, this isn't bragging, it's just a plain and straightforward account of the actual situation, and it doesn't even mean to talk to others about Versailles.

However, for players like Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi who are also fighting in the NBA, this wave of damage is not small.

"This guy Battelle has a championship, and I'm the No. [-] pick..." At this moment, Yao Ming had the idea that Grandma O'Neal could win the championship playing with Jordan.

Yao Ming thinks that he will work harder and stronger than Battelle, but the championship depends on his teammates. Sometimes relying on his own hard work is useless.

"Fortunately, He Li and I are on the same team now." Yao Ming, who has worked hard for many years, also had the idea of ​​being lucky.

"He Li...I"

Yao Ming and others wanted to say hello when they saw He Li, but they didn't know what to say.

Originally, Wang Zhizhi and He Li were the first to know each other, but Wang Zhizhi had something to say at this time, but he didn't know what to say to He Li, so he got stuck halfway through the conversation.

He Li didn't step on Wang Zhizhi's embarrassment, but just said casually: "Is there something wrong? You can tell directly."

"I want to say hello to you, but it's really nothing." Wang Zhizhi corrected himself.

Now He Li can tell that Wang Zhizhi must have something to ask him, but now he is embarrassed to speak in public.

However, He Li did not continue to answer Wang Zhizhi's words. He obviously wanted to find him in private, so why did He Li point this out in front of everyone?

Just to embarrass Wang Zhizhi?Not necessary.

Now He Li didn't care about these little things, He Li took a look at these people who went to the United States for training.

Then he took the initiative to say: "A Lian, right? I follow you, you are very good, can you practice for me, I want to take a good look at you!"

He Li found the slender and taciturn Yi Jianlian among the crowd.

Well, Yi Jianlian, if he doesn't hang up, he is the player with the best comprehensive talent in the history of Chinese basketball.

Of course, what He Li listened to the most was the sentence - the last fig leaf of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In He Li's view, if it wasn't for Yi Jianlian's exposure to basketball too late, and his domestic training was unqualified, Yi Jianlian is expected to become a singles killer like Durant.

Yi Jianlian and Durant were drafted in the same year, and He Li had seen their rookie photo together.Yi Jianlian's static talent is not weaker than Durant.

As for the fact that the Achilles tendon is shorter, Yi Jianlian is actually better at jumping.

With a shorter wingspan, Yi Jianlian has wider shoulders, which is more suitable for defense and upper body strength.

Even with a longer neck, the passing vision is a bit better.

If it wasn't for his age, if it wasn't for the unqualified training he had been exposed to since childhood, Yi Jianlian's top static talent and running and jumping talent, even if he didn't reach Durant's level, would still be enough to become one of the top [-] superstars in the NBA.

But the problem is age.

And the lack of correct training, so that Yi Jianlian has physical talent, but lacks NBA-level training intensity, so that after entering the NBA, his physical ability to resist injuries is particularly insufficient.

The most annoying thing about Yi Jianlian playing in the NBA is that he was injured just after his 20+10 record.

If he trained better in the early years and had a higher level of endurance, even if Yi Jianlian's talent was not able to develop all of his talents like Wiggins, he would at least be at the quasi-All-Star level.

It's not that he can't play in the NBA, but can only bully foreign players in the CBA.

Now that He Li has seen the young Yi Jianlian, he naturally won't let Yi Jianlian waste a few years.

He Li needs teammates in the NBA, but why not in the national team?

Yao Ming makes He Li feel at ease, but Yi Jianlian needs to be cultivated well.

In the international league, it is also a good thing for He Li to have another poor man's version of Durant!
