Chapter 712 Underestimating the Enemy

People of the same background are often easier to make friends with. After the new team leader came, he quickly became one with the players, lived and ate with the players, like a brother. As a player, he knew what the players needed outside of the game. What, so after his arrival, the players' satisfaction with the logistics work has suddenly improved to a new level.

This also created a precedent. It was the first time for retired athletes in basketball to reach this position. Sometimes there were one and two, and then they continued to follow. Since then, a large number of athletes have entered the basketball management center after retirement. After taking up various positions, the basketball management center should not be completely controlled by administrative staff, and professionalism began to be reflected. When Yao Ming reached the position of director of the basketball management center, China's basketball has also developed to the pinnacle of the world.

Many things are like this. They need an opportunity, and then they will develop to a point that many people cannot predict. The change is instantaneous and minimal, but the impact is long-term. However, Stephen, who caused this incident, did not get it. What good is it? After he retired, he first owned a team in China and the United States, then owned a brokerage company, then owned a sporting goods company, and later owned an online media that specializes in broadcasting sports games. The anti-monopoly regulations were jointly launched by China and the United States.

The investigation team had just been established, and before it started to act, it received news that Stephen publicly announced that he had transferred all the companies under his name to others, leaving only a small private island in the South Pacific, and the recipients of these companies were all His confidante.

Since the enactment of the anti-monopoly law, this is the most anti-monopoly case. The investigation team was forced to disband just after it was established. Stephen easily teased legal experts from China and the United States. And the campaign has become a joke.

But at this time, no one thought about anyone's future, even Stephen would not think that his own future would be so bright, even if he gave up all the company's shares, none of the confidante around him would leave him, Still by his side, which is also the origin of his nickname "the most successful man in history".

Now the team is preparing for the Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball Champions Cup. In theory, this event has a lot of gold content. It is an international event participated by the intercontinental champion teams from all continents. Oddly named a cup.

In fact, due to the uneven development levels of the continents, not all the strong teams come here, and this event is not mandatory, and as a new event, it is not paid much attention. Most teams are This event is played as a warm-up match, and some teams use it to train new players and enhance their game experience.

This event started in [-] and was nominated by the then president of FIBA. Since he was a Chinese, this event was placed in China. The championship prize was only [-] US dollars, while the runner-up It's only [-]. For those teams with deep pockets, it's really too little, just like the American Dream Team, which has never participated in this event. At most, they send players from the Development League to participate.

The best result of the Chinese national team was last year when they got the No.2 result. This year, because of Stephen's joining, they shouted the voice of winning the championship. The Stankovic Intercontinental Cup has only four teams participating, while it used to be played by six or five teams.

With the arrival of the Angolan men's basketball team, the Serbian men's basketball team and the Russian men's basketball team one after another, this city known as the "Water Town" also has a touch of sports. Teams from various countries are staying in a hotel, and you can often watch When fans gather outside the hotel, most of them are fans of the Chinese national team.

For fans who have always been simple in thinking, there is a very simple way to compare the strength of the team, that is, to compare the number of players who play in the league. As the highest hall of basketball, there must be only the most Only good players can join.

The more excellent players there are, the stronger the strength is, and now this national team has three active league players, one top star (referring to Stephen), and one first-class star (referring to Yao Ming) , a main player (referring to Yijianlian).

In addition, there is a quasi-league player, Sun Yue, who just signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Wang Zhizhi, who has returned from playing in the league for several years. Basically, there are only five league players. Among the current national teams, except the United States Team and Spain, no team has so many league players, including the South American powerhouse Argentina.

As for the Russian men's basketball team, there is only one Andrei Kirilenko, and he has not come this year. As for Serbia, there are several players in the league, such as Stojakovic and Dakomili, the second pick in the [-] class. Sic, Radmanovich, and Kristich are basically inside players, but Radmanovich did not come this time.

As for the Angola national team, without a player playing in the league, it is naturally considered the weakest of the four teams, followed by Russia, Serbia and China.Fueled by the media, even within the national team, there is an atmosphere of underestimating the enemy.

Although Jonas kept emphasizing it, he still couldn't change this trend. On the one hand, Stephen didn't know much about the strength of these national teams, and on the other hand, he had absolute confidence. Naturally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with underestimating the enemy.

This is also a necessary process to cultivate the temperament of a strong national team. The first sign of a strong team is self-confidence. Just like the US team, they struggled against many opponents in the first half of the game. This is to underestimate the enemy. But in the end, they can all pull back, this is their strength.

In this situation of underestimating the enemy, the Chinese national team ushered in the first game of the Stankovic Intercontinental Cup. This is also the first official game Stephen has played since joining the Chinese national team, and their opponent is Four Ball In the team, the Serbian national team seems to be the most powerful.

Not all of their main players came from the Servic national team. They used to gather big names and ended up in internal strife. It is said that they even had a big fight in the locker room before an international game, which led to Stojakovic’s withdrawal. , Radmanovich also excused injury and no longer participated in the national team.

But despite this, the Serbian national team is still a strong team, especially the current team, because most of the players are composed of young players, so they play very actively and work very hard, while the Chinese national team is like a A sleepy-eyed male lion is suddenly attacked by a clever leopard, and it seems that it can't fight back.

Fortunately, Stephen stayed in the team. Even if he couldn't react for a while, Serbia didn't open the score too much. Under Stephen's calm command, the Chinese national team slowly found their own rhythm and began to stabilize situation, and then began to slowly launch a counter-offensive.

Although Stephen didn't deliberately score, he dominated the counterattack, and this counterattack still started from the inside. The Serbian national team did not put Kristic and Dakomilicic on the field, but Dakomilicic was put on the bench and Kristic started.

As a member of the big-name players of the national team, he was placed on the bench by the head coach. For many players, this is unacceptable, but for Dakomilicic, there is no problem. Seeing him sitting on the bench, looking down on life and treating fame and fortune like dung, one knows that the reason why he has fallen to this point is really his own fault.

Participating in the national team competition is like a free trip to him, allowing him to enjoy the scenery around the world. What makes him a little dissatisfied is that Chinese beauties are too difficult to get hooked, and the Chinese organizers also take care of them. It's so thoughtful, it's not easy to go out to find flowers and ask willows, so sitting there is not at all stable, looking around.

For Kristich on the court, he and Yao Ming have played against each other many times in the league, and they are familiar with each other. They are very clear about their own advantages and disadvantages. The tactic of going around and adding fouls was adopted.

However, with Stephen as a helper, Yao Ming already has a solution to this kind of defense, and he and Stephen have been training together for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding. As long as a reverse run, Kristich The forward circle is useless, and what Kristich can do is naturally only foul.

Kristic, who soon earned two fouls, was replaced by the head coach. At this time, the Chinese team had narrowed the point difference to four points. Dakomilicic was ordered to play in a crisis. On the court, he fouled Yao Ming and gave Yao Ming two free throws.

After coming back, Yao Ming was unsuccessful in the singles, but was blocked by Yao Ming, and then facing Yao Ming's layup, he simply extended his hand and gave Yao Ming two free throws. The head coach of the Serbian team immediately frowned. I frowned, knowing that this guy was a bit unreliable and not very devoted to the game, but he couldn't play passively like this.

He also said that bringing him to China can play a little role, and at the same time allow young players to learn and learn. It seems that it is better to forget it now, so as not to bring down the young players under him. Dakomilicic was replaced by a very young center Marganovic.

But it was this young center, who was only under 20 years old, who came up and dunked one on Yao Ming's head, and then after coming back, he earned another foul from Yao Ming. Wang Zhizhi, who came on as a substitute, said, "You underestimated the enemy."
