Healing Basketball

Chapter 1005 1005. The Olympics at the Doorstep

There was an incomprehensible voice on the other end of the phone, but the tone should be one of surprise and cursing.

The vice president didn't find it strange to react. When the bold coach raised this matter, both he and the boss scolded him.

The vice president explained: "I have discussed with the boss and the coaches for two days, and I feel that we need more professional people to help us in order to have a higher feasibility."

Liu Xiu, who was shocked by the team's inhuman operation, came back to his senses and replied: "It's no problem, he has sufficient experience in fast break and has the best three-point shooting tactics. He will definitely bring us a lot Big help, I support this thing."

"However, let D'Antoni serve as a consultant for us. We have to bear the risk of leaking the tactical concept. He will definitely become the head coach of other teams in the future. This tactical concept was proposed by you and needs your approval."

Liu Xiu asked, "How is his reputation in the coaching circle?"

"He is a very good person. During the 00-01 season, he worked as an assistant coach for our team. He worked very hard and seriously, and he also had an excellent ability to discover role players. In 99, he served as a scout for the Spurs and helped The Spurs drafted Ginobili, and it was his suggestion that we draft Zach instead of Brandon Haywood..."

Listening to the vice president talking about D'Antoni's work history in recent years, Liu Xiu understood.

This is to show him how much the team values ​​him...

In other words, it was to persuade him to accept the invitation to join D'Antoni, not to ask for his opinion.

Liu Xiu was quite moved, and said: "He is so good, you can just make a decision, come and ask me, it's really a fart with your pants off."

"Take off your pants and fart?"

"A superfluous and unnecessary move."

"Beep beep..."

The vice president hung up the phone, but after receiving a reminder to heal the other party, Liu Xiu felt better.

D'Antoni joins, and his banknote ability is awesome!
As for whether he will be stolen by D'Antoni?

It doesn't matter, as long as it is typed out and successful, someone will definitely imitate it.

But first you have to succeed!

What they have to do now is to increase the probability of success of the new system and shorten the time to build the new system.

Originally, he wanted to suggest that the team invite Mark Jackson, who is No.2 in the NBA's historical assist list, to join him. The defensive system of this famous star can help the coach, and the two-gun tactic is also very good... If there is a double-grab tactic now Awareness, that is naturally better, if not, he and Ray Allen are there, it can always give this celebrity a little inspiration.

In the past few seasons, Mark Jackson has been interviewing for coaching positions everywhere, but has not been able to be hired.

It has been reported in the news that the teams he interviewed with felt that his idea was absurd and unrealistic.

Now with D'Antoni... then the coaching staff has to add two people.

More people, more insurance, anyway, big dogs have money...

He sent an email to the cured vice president, suggesting that he go dig Mark Jackson, who is working as a trainer for the Pistons.

...

Liu Xiu went to the hotel to pick up Yao Ming, and then went to the Blue Association to report together.

In the previous phone call, Liu Xiu learned that Yao Ming did not report back to the national team immediately after finishing his work at the club.

First of all, he has to rest. He has just played more than 100 games, and he also has endorsement activities to do, which are more intensive than Liu Xiu. From returning to China on the 25th to the 8th, he has been running all over the country.

But looking at Yao Ming's mental outlook, Liu Xiu is not worried about the state of the strongest partner in the national team.

Reporting is a process, but it is necessary to go through this process. After completing the physical examination and taking the inch-by-inch photos, under the leadership of the Chinese men's basketball team leader, Li Yuanwei, the director of the blue management center, went to the BJ Olympic Village.

Li Yuanwei introduced the training camp all the way: "Our training camp has reached the final stage, and the next step is the screening of the 12-man roster. You must be fine, you two are the best inside and outside players in the world.

As the host, we naturally have an advantage. Next, we will move into the Olympic Village and the training venues in advance, which are the venues for the Olympic men’s basketball competition. We can train and prepare for the competition while adapting to the competition venue...

You see, we have already arrived at the main venue, that is, does it look like a bird's nest from a distance?Being able to see the Bird's Nest so close means that we are now only two kilometers away from the Olympic Park where the Olympic Village is located..."

During the team leader's introduction, the car drove to the Olympic Village, and Liu Xiu looked it over. It was very different from the Olympic Village of the Athens Olympics. The normal houses looked like a large community.

He looked left and right, but he didn't see people from other countries. There were people coming in and out, all of them were Chinese.

The team leader said: "The Olympic Village has 3 areas. This is the residential area. The largest area can accommodate up to 4 people. All people in our country live here. The location is the best, and it is easy to get in and out. Over there , the most middle position is the commercial activity area, there are many leisure and entertainment facilities, you young people like karaoke, right? I heard that the karaoke audio equipment over there is very good..."

Yao Ming hurriedly said, "No! We don't like singing!"

"?" The team leader was surprised, he had the impression that Dayao was very calm, and they actually went to karaoke together... What's wrong?
Regardless of this, continue to introduce: "There are two other areas are the operation area and the logistics support area. Players are not allowed to enter without reason, but don't worry, every entrance and exit there is security.

At present, the residential area is only used by domestic athletes, and it has not been officially opened for use. I remember that it began to accept occupancy on the 26th, so there must be some imperfections. If there is anything, just come to me, the team leader. "

"No! I'm already very satisfied. Although it looks simple here, it is simple and elegant. It is much better than the Athens Olympics. When we went there, we lived in containers..."

Liu Xiu recalled that Olympic Games, and looked at this place again, it was as beautiful as heaven.

The team leader smiled and said, "Of course, we are a country of etiquette..."

Seeing that Liu Xiu and the team leader chatted unexpectedly, Yao Ming felt that the world is really wonderful.

Thinking back then, the relationship between the team leader and Liu Xiu was so stiff that it almost broke his face.

Now they are talking and laughing.

There is one thing to say, Yao Ming thinks that Liu Xiu's familiar personality is really powerful, and he can chat with anyone.

That's right, after getting acquainted, that mouth is really annoying.

No, the first thing Liu Xiu said after seeing Wang Zhizhi when he arrived at the unit building where the men's basketball team lived was—"Wow, the NBA champion and the championship runner-up meet again. Come on, come on, let's take a photo with the three of us!"

Yao Ming saw Wang Zhizhi's veins burst out all of a sudden.

Liu Xiu and Yao Ming were the last members of the training team to return to the team. When they returned, the other 18 players in the training team came to welcome them.

Wang Zhizhi also returned to the national team a few days ago, and he also played in the finals, but he was not as busy as Yao Ming after the finals.

Liu Xiu greeted the coaches and teammates of the training team. Most of them were acquaintances. All 11 teammates from the last World Championships were selected for the training team.

The coaching staff has not changed much either. The double head coaches are Silver Fox and Jonas; the fitness coach is El Avedas, who once served as a fitness coach for the third dream team; assistant coaches Guo Shiqiang and Donnie Nelson... Wait, Nelson is the son of a mad scientist.

We are all acquaintances, and the time-wasting stage of greetings is eliminated. After lunch in the Olympic Village, we will go directly to work in the afternoon to conduct technical tests.

Compared with the past two World Series, Liu Xiu feels that everyone from the coach to the trainer is more serious this time.

With the Olympic Games at our doorstep, everyone wants to do something big!
...

The next morning after the report, Liu Xiu's personal trainer came to the national team to take office.

This trainer was borrowed by Liu Xiu from the Trail Blazers. Of course, he had to pay the salary. Originally, he planned to pay it himself, but the blue management center paid the money.

This trainer did not come to guide Liu Xiu in training, but purely as a training partner. The reason why Liu Xiu chose him was because this trainer has a nutritionist license from the European Union.

Different from the previous World Series... To be precise, the Chinese Olympic Team has its own internal rules for this Olympic Games, one of which is the control of daily urine tests and meals.

Don't make any scandals about the Olympics at your doorstep.

The Olympics this time is a grand event for the country to let the world see the latest look of new China. They can only add bricks and tiles to add luster and luster, and they cannot hold back.

There are policies and there are countermeasures. You can find a professional nutritionist to make special meals. The meals in the cafeteria are uniform and may not be suitable for every athlete.

Of course, the food made by nutritionists is occasionally inspected by the Chinese Olympic team, and athletes also have regular physical examinations and irregular random inspections.

This Liu Xiu is not afraid, his 'nutritious food' is just delicious food, fresh ingredients, and high nutritional value, but he eats it, the system will give special effects, and he is not afraid of inspection at all.

Compared with the last World Championships, the final 12-man roster should not have changed much. The tactics have been adjusted but the overall framework has not changed much... The team training arranged by the coaching staff is not large, and the training arranged for the players is mostly individual. Technical and basic skills training.

The training arranged by the coaching staff was very simple for Liu Xiu. After he completed these trainings, he started the training tasks of 'inside press' and 'advanced strength +1'.

The training intensity scared the onlookers and coaches.

Yinhu approached Liu Xiu's personal trainer and asked if it was too hard to practice. The trainer said that Liu Xiu had such training once or twice a year, and he had no problem and coped with it.

His job, besides being a 'nutritionist', is to deal with these worries.

Liu Xiu originally planned to practice the task of 'inside press' first, but he didn't play for two months, and devoted all his physical strength to the simulated training... His weight broke through [-] again, and his body shape gradually became passer-by again.

If you have time to reduce your weight and body fat percentage, you must work harder.

For him, the coaches and teammates of the national team don't think there is anything. The NBA player they pay most attention to is Liu Xiu, and they have long been used to it.

However, some people from the Blue Association and Blue Tube Center have gossiped again, saying that he is not self-disciplined, not that kind of accusation or dissatisfaction.

It's a tone that is optimistic about the show, as if expecting him to perform badly in the Olympics, the kind that doesn't betray anyone, saying it in front of the staff, coaches, and trainers.

Liu Xiu herself heard about this from a trainer she was familiar with, so she was not angry.

He can understand the indignation of people who are not familiar with him after seeing his weight gain and body fat rate increase.

But he didn't understand why the Blue Association and the Blue Management Center didn't seem to want to see the national team do well.

In the first two World Series, he did not encounter such a situation.

One night, Liu Xiu mentioned this matter while chatting with her three apprentices.

Zhu Fangyu analyzed: "Master, I think it may be because the Blue Association and the Blue Management Center have both reached the time for a new term. The head of the Blue Association has changed from Zhang Faqiang to Yu Zaiqing, and Li Yuanwei is coming to the end of his term this year. I believe Lancheng has the most May become the next blue tube center director.

The players in our class belong to the leaders of the previous generation. Although the new leaders have not taken office yet, many people have already started to lick them. They don’t want us to achieve good results, lest the new leaders take the stage. Later, his grades were not as good as in previous years, and he was said to be not as good as his predecessors.

But master, you don’t have to worry, they dare to gossip behind their backs, when something really happens, they are worse than a dog, the dog dares to bark twice, they wish their heads were sitting on the bench..."

...

After Bajie solved the master's confusion, the latter began to devote himself to training.

A week later, on the 18th, the rest day, today the training team eliminated 8 players, and the coaching staff selected a roster of 12 players.

Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, the three big shots were all selected.

Liu Xiu's three apprentices: Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian were all selected.

Liu Wei, Li Nan, Sun Yue, and Wang Shipeng were also selected.

But Mo Ke and Zhang Songtao lost the election, and they were replaced by Chen Jianghua from the Guangdong Gang and Wang Lei from the Bayi Team.

The former is fast, young, and only 19 years old; the latter was once a high-profile talented forward, but was injured in the 04 CBA regular season, the cruciate ligament was ruptured, and his athletic ability suffered a fatal blow. .

In this training competition, Mo Ke and Zhang Songtao lost to Wang Lei, who had better skills and developed all three points in the 07-08 season.

Although a little reluctant, Liu Xiu doesn't think there is any problem with the selection of the coaching staff.

They are going to win the game, not to put friendship first. Naturally, they have to choose the one with better strength and condition, even if it is the two players on the edge of the bench, they have to choose the better one.

What amuses him is the gossip.

After a week of devil training, his body fat percentage dropped visible to the naked eye.

The most important thing is his competitive state. His weight has not affected his shooting and skills. The coaching staff and his old teammates from two years ago can clearly feel that Liu Xiu is stronger than before.

Wang Zhizhi, who had just played a round of series with Liu Xiu more than two months ago, felt his scalp tingling.

The warden has made very obvious progress!
At this time, those gossiping people are still gossiping, saying that he is relying on talent, God is not fair, other people work so hard, it is not as good as he just practiced casually.

Knowing that these people can only be sour, Liu Xiu is very happy, and the training is even more vigorous.
