I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 95 The Second Battle

The Chinese men's basketball training team lost to an American college team!

For a while, the outside world was in an uproar, the public opinion was fierce, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

"After closed training for so long, I can't even beat a college student team! It's a shame!"

"European basketball is not good, you have to hire American coaches! Jonas is dismissed!"

"Some people in the national team don't want to lose face! Tang Zhengdong, can you play the center forward? You can't play! Hurry up and pack up and go home!"

"Today, if you lose to the college team, if you lose to the high school team tomorrow, there will be no one to lose the day after tomorrow!"

"Without the three major centers, the Chinese men's basketball team is nothing!"

"Believe in gods, believe in ghosts, believe in Lancheng, thank God, thank you Yalong! Basketball and football, one raging soldier, will be a raging nest!"

"The evil basket is disbanded!"

……

Under the excitement of the crowd, few people would consider that this is the first warm-up match since the men's basketball training camp, and whether the players will be out of shape;
No one considered that this training team not only did not have three major centers, but Sun Yue, Zhang Qingpeng, Liu Xiaoyu, Li Xiaoxu and other powerful players did not appear;
Not to mention that the University of Memphis is the NCAA champion, and the team has quasi-NBA players like Rose, CD Roberts, and Joey Dorsey...

It is said that the leaders of the basketball center were also very angry and directly interviewed the relevant person in charge of the national training team.

The national training team is under tremendous pressure.

For this reason, the lineup was adjusted urgently. Sun Yue, Zhang Qingpeng, Liu Xiaoyu, Wang Lei, Han Shuo and others who were not on the list in the first game all returned.

The national team has issued a must-kill order and must win the next two games.

The Chinese team was on the verge of a formidable enemy, but everyone at the University of Memphis was extremely relaxed.

Although the opponent is only a remnant, but defeating a national team as a college team is still enough for Memphis to embarrass itself.

Kashuai was in a good mood and gave the team a day off.

Except for participating in the commercial activities held by the sponsors, the rest of the time is free.

Dorsey naturally took the initiative to take on the role of tour guide, leading a group of teammates to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

The delicious food, beautiful scenery, fine wine, and beauties on the street opened the eyes of these American leopards, and they kept giving thumbs up.

"Joy, no wonder you keep saying you are Chinese! This is such a good place!"

48 hours after the first match, the second match started in Yanghe, another city in eastern Guangdong Province.

Different from the first game, the players of the Chinese training team stared at this game. If you look carefully, you will find dark circles on the faces of many people. It is said that the tactical preparation of the Chinese team will last until midnight At 12 o'clock, the leader's lecture alone lasted for an hour and a half.

For the sake of dignity, honor and not letting the leaders blind BB, the members of the Chinese men's basketball team worked hard and vowed to fight this game.

Memphis' mentality in this game is much more relaxed.

Having already won the first game, the result of this game is not important, as long as you play out the things you usually train.

Of course, if everyone can have fun, it will be even better.

With that in mind, Memphis turned the game into a showcase of their skills.

All kinds of breakthroughs, difficult shots, and fancy dunks emerge in endlessly.

Especially the Iron Triangle of Memphis, regards this game as a stage to show themselves to the nba team, and show off their talents to their heart's content.

Needless to say, Rose's iconic sharpness, breakthrough and scoring;
CD Roberts, this nerve knife, is also fully fired under no pressure in the game, with long shots and short attacks, and is in excellent condition;
And Dorsey always remembers his responsibilities and missions, stirring up wind and rain under the basket, and taking rebounds whatever he wants.

With a relaxed mind, Memphis played a high-quality offensive level. The fast pace and high confrontation made the Chinese team at a loss. At the end of the first quarter, they actually led by 25 points at 15:10.

In the second quarter, Sun Yue broke out. This outside player who is about to enter the NBA, under the stimulation of his opponent, exploded into a small universe. Not only did he work extremely hard on the defensive end, but he also took advantage of his height and wingspan on the offensive end. A bit of CD Roberts scored over the head.

Driven by him, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Shipeng and others also regained their touch and hit three-pointers frequently.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team overtook the score in a single quarter, but because the hole dug in the first quarter was too large, the total score was still behind by 45:38.

After the intermission, the Chinese team played a zone defense, and the high-intensity defense made the boys in Memphis a little uncomfortable.

Memphis' shooting percentages started to drop.

On the offensive end, the inside players of the Chinese team no longer confronted Dorsey head-on, and started a one-water mid-range shooting mode.

Zhang Kai, Ding Jinhui, Wang Lei, and Li Xiaoxu gave full play to the characteristics that everyone in the Chinese team can shoot. They all pulled to the middle and long distances to shoot, but they all shot quite accurately.

On the other hand, Tang Zhengdong completely let go of his figure, and honestly fought for the card position with Dorsey under the basket, pulling and blocking the card in all kinds of ways, doing everything he could.

Due to being restrained by Tang Zhengdong, Dorsey did not dare to expand too far, and could only let the opponent's mid-range shot bomb the basket.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 74:70. Memphis still leads, but the lead is not big anymore.

In the fourth quarter, both sides played at a high level, with various exciting shots appearing frequently, and the fight became more intense.

In the end, the strength was more balanced, and the Chinese team, which played more players, had the upper hand. With 4 minutes left in the game, they overtook the score and finally narrowly defeated their opponents by 88:92.

此役，孟菲斯铁三角星光闪耀，罗斯砍下18分8助攻3抢断，C.D.罗伯茨25分4助攻，多西14分19个篮板4次封盖。

According to the feedback in the United States, the performance of the three has successfully attracted the interest and attention of many NBA teams, and the effect may far exceed that of participating in ordinary training camps.

After the two games are over, Dorsey feels that his task has been basically completed, whether it is for the team or himself, he has enough explanations, and it is time to get busy with his own affairs.

He found coach Calipari and applied not to play the third game.

Kashuai had heard a little bit about his disciple's affairs, and knew that he wanted to find a girlfriend.Kashuai is very supportive of this.

After all, Dorsey could have skipped the China competition, but he insisted on coming to China, and he also brought in Rose and CD Roberts, which was enough for himself.

As an old Jianghu, he knew very well the principle of being carried by people in sedan chairs, so he gave his disciple the green light with a big wave of his hand.

"Joy, I still have to remind you that your body is important and you need to be in moderation!" Kashuai sent his farewell words earnestly. It was the NCAA finals, and Dorsey's performance made him unforgettable.

"Don't worry, coach, I will return to the team on time!"

Under the banter and ridicule of his teammates and the gaze of Rose's resentful little eyes, Dorsey boarded the flight to the capital.
