The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 215 215 That Legendary Genius!

"Haha, I have admired your name for a long time!"

In a large basketball training hall in Portland, Zhou Si met the director Gong Luming on the sidelines of the basketball court.

Seeing Zhou Si, Gong Luming looked very happy.

To be honest, Zhou Si was under a lot of pressure before he announced that he would join the national team.

Not to mention the future of the Men's Basketball World Cup, which was qualified as a wild card at the end, he dared not say that he played well in the subsequent Asian Games!
What's more, in the previously announced draw group, the Chinese team fell into the "death group" where Spain, France, Iran, Australia and Brazil belonged.

Needless to say, the strength of the Spanish team led by Da Xiaojia, Calderon, Rubio, and Ibaka, the French team led by Parker, Batum, Diaw, and Gobert is also a seeded team.

Iran was No.1 in the previous Asian Championships. Australia has Mills and Bogut. Even Brazil has NBA champions such as Barbosa, Varejao, Nene and Splitter...

The rule of this Men's Basketball World Cup is that a single group cycle needs to be carried out in the group first, and the top four teams with the best record among the 6 teams in each group will qualify.

According to FIBA ​​regulations, 2 points are awarded for winning a game, 1 point for losing a game, and 0 points for abstention or disqualification.

To put it simply, if you want to enter the top [-] of the knockout round, you must first rank in the top four in the group to qualify, and this is basically an impossible task for Director Gong before Zhou Si announces his play.

Therefore, Zhou Si can be said to be his life-saving straw!
Facing such an old senior, Zhou Si didn't put on a show, and just wanted to be polite to the palace director, he interrupted him.

"Don't be humble, excessive modesty is pride."

Zhou Si smiled politely.

The palace guide seemed very familiar,
"Dayao used to boast a lot to you in front of me. This is the first World Cup, you should work harder!"

Zhou Si's expression froze, and he nodded,

"Don't worry, Director Gong, I will definitely do my best!"

To serve the country, Zhou Si must first put aside his usual practice of developing and leveling up the shock value, and go all out.

Seeing Zhou Si so confident and willing to contribute, Director Gong couldn't help but itch and said:
"That must be great, how much do you think we can make it to the top?"

Zhou Si thought about his previous analysis and said conservatively,
"The top four should be fine, right?"

Director Gong's eyes lit up obviously. He originally thought that qualifying for the group and reaching the top [-] would be regarded as the completion of the military training task. He didn't expect Zhou Si to be so confident. You must know that this time he brought basically all recruits.

For the future of the Chinese men's basketball team, Director Gong is also full of courage!
"If you really make it to the semi-finals, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Director Gong said obviously overjoyed.

Zhou Si nodded earnestly again, giving Director Gong more confidence!
"After the training match on the court is over, I'll introduce you to your teammates.

There are a lot of newcomers this time, so there is no such thing as forming a clique, you can rest assured. "

Zhou Si nodded indifferently,

"It's okay coach, my teammates will like me very much."

……

Looking at the familiar figures on the court, Zhou Si felt that his blood was about to boil.

As Director Gong said, there are indeed a lot of newcomers this time.

Only Yi Jianlian, Guo Ailun, Zhou Peng and Wang Zhelin participated in the last World Championships in Malaga. The others are all new faces.

The youngest Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei and others born in 95 have already started to appear on the stage of the national team.

The players are young enough and enthusiastic enough, but in Zhou Si's opinion, the style of play is a little bit behind the times.

The guide Gong who had been looking at Zhou Si from the corner of his eye had keenly observed Zhou Si's frown that was loosened. Did he find something wrong?
While Zhou Si was observing the players on the field, the Chinese players on the field were also observing Zhou Si who suddenly appeared on the sidelines.

Except for Yi Jianlian, although the others had no contact with Zhou Si before, it didn't mean they didn't know Zhou Si.

Or, in China, there are far more people who know about Zhou Si than those who don’t!
That is the future, no, the present hope of Chinese basketball!
Those of them who play professional basketball must know Zhou Si better.

From the printed vest, special episodes, the strongest declaration, "I am so awesome!", "Gifts for the trolls" to his maxed records, these national team members can be said to be familiar with it!
In a sense, Zhou Si is changing many people's impression of China in the world!
Before Zhou Si announced that he was coming to the national team, these players had a heated discussion about Zhou Si in private.

They definitely welcome Zhou Si's arrival, but they don't know if this super genius will get along well.

After all, in terms of strength, Zhou Si is already No.1 in China without any suspense!
Hope not to mess with it!

Not long ago, Zhou Si yelled at his teammates during the game, and even pushed his teammates on the bench. It was not a good thing!
……

"Stoudemire, you don't need to be so polite. When you enter the national team, you are all comrades-in-arms, and you are all your own."

Looking at the young generals who were trembling under Zhou Si's polite handshake one by one, Yi Jianlian persuaded from the side.

But Zhou Si still insisted on shaking hands with his teammates in a low profile.

Although he hadn't played many domestic games, Zhou Si knew that the phenomenon of seniority ranking in China was very serious, and he didn't want his teammates to deliberately lose the chain at critical times.

This is called convincing people with virtue!
The head coach Director Gong, who was watching this scene from the side, let out a sigh of relief. This outside legend is so crazy that even Duncan dared not give face. Isn't it so rebellious to unilaterally block ESPN's supernova!
……

"Coach, you can't play like this!"

In the afternoon, after the director of the palace explained his tactical arrangement to Zhou Si, Zhou Si directly shook his head and gave his opinion.

Director Gong widened his eyes.

Also said that you are not a ball bully, not a cancer? !
Zhou Si patiently explained:
"It's okay to play conventional tactics. I can guarantee the success rate no matter if I am the end point or the support point..."

Director Gong stared at Zhou Si who was talking eloquently, he knew that there would be nothing after the pause.

"but……

When you encounter a strong team, trying to have both offense and defense can only be counterproductive, so I think running and shooting must be practiced!
Our current players are all young and full of energy, as long as we run, many teams will be finished, and their centers can’t keep up!”

Director Gong's eyes brightened the more he listened.

Zhou Si's move is not very clever, but it fits perfectly with the current young Chinese team!
In this game, many other countries have heavy centers, and they are like bugs if they stick to the paint area without the FIBA ​​​​rule of defending for three seconds.

On the contrary, after Dayao retired, the Chinese team did not have a super powerful big center, which is also the biggest reason for the decline of the Chinese team's strength.

Now, it seems that running, this problem will be solved!
Truly a legendary genius!
Hit the nail on the head!
