In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 209 New endorsements and the status quo of the national team

And Zhang Lili and his team also came to Sydney. They interviewed Zhang Tian. After all, this was Zhang Tian’s second appearance in the national team. But last year, his teammates in the national youth team, except Liu Wei, was selected for the training team to accompany him. After a few days, the others were not even selected for the training team.

At this time, Jiang Xingquan and Wang Fei's assistants began to design tactics.

"Xiao Wang, how did you come up with Xiao Zhang's strategy of playing number one?" Jiang Xingquan, the famous Master Jiang, proposed to let Zhang Tian play number one. This plan did not come from his mind, but Wang Fei.

Wang Fei is not very proud. In fact, when he coached the U19s last year, he was even more ruthless than Jiang Xingquan, and there was a king of Hades standing on the sidelines.It's chilling to look at.

"Based on Xiao Zhang's performance in the National Youth Team last year and this year's NBA, I suddenly thought that our back line has always lacked such a backcourt brain that can attack, retreat and defend. Of course, for Xiao Zhang To put it bluntly, letting him play the No. [-] position is a bit sacrificing his personal offensive talent, but he is not the kind of existence who will give up victory for the sake of statistics. I am very clear about the character of this kid, so he will definitely accept this plan. .”

The reason why Jiang Xingquan attaches great importance to Wang Fei's proposal is because he led the men's basketball team to win the first medal in the World Series. This is a historic breakthrough for the men's basketball team. If he resigned last year, then he must be on this team The best candidate for the head coach of the Olympic team.

"Well, your plan is good. I hope he can play his due demeanor in the first position. Xiao Guo and Xiao Li are both old. They can't stand the impact of European and American defenders at all."

Wang Fei nodded. It was based on this that he came up with the idea of ​​letting Zhang Tian play the No. [-] position. It was because other defenders could not withstand the impact of European and American defenders, but Zhang Tian could be as tough as those people, and his shooting ability was better than that of the defenders. Those guys are strong, just look at the finals, the Lakers' two-man pincers didn't work very well.

The other six opponents in the group are all studying the Chinese team, especially the US team in the same group.

Rudy Tomjanovich regretted it very much. He felt that he shouldn't have recruited so many guards. He would have recruited more defensive second and third positions like Eddie Jones. Smith, Ray Allen, and the CIC king are all here. Although there are Kidd and Payton in the first position, there is no need to doubt the defensive strength of these two, but Tang Shuai is still beating drums in his heart. After all, Mr. Zhang Tian The statistics of the finals are not inferior to O'Neill at all, but it's a pity that O'Neill has no signs of agreeing to the big toe surgery that O'Neill is going to do. Otherwise, if he stays in the penalty area, he can win with his eyes closed.

Because of the existence of Zhang Tian alone, the situation of the entire Group A will become very unclear. As for the fans who complained about not bringing a rookie to gain experience, forget it, don't you see if there is anything for this rookie to see? , and the current dream four team, basically every position is a top match, except for the third position, but there is no way, who makes Zhang Tian not an American.

After Zhang Tian joined, the competition in Group A undoubtedly started to heat up. Before the official start of the group stage, Zhang Tian received a few more endorsements.

The first is Powerade, another Coca-Cola drink. The price of this drink is much more generous than Aquarius’ three-year 300 million. The endorsement fee for this drink, which mainly competes with Gatorade, is two years. 800 million. In fact, Rich Paul called for 1000 million a year at the beginning. After a long time of talking, he finally agreed. In fact, at the beginning of the 21st century, the endorsement fee was really high. After all, the annual salary is 1600 million now. They are all maximum salaries, but when Zhang Tian did not travel through rebirth, you have to double the current salary to be called the maximum salary.

As for what Zhang Tian drinks while waiting for a break, that’s up to him, anyway, it’s Coco-Cola’s own brand.

As for other endorsements, Zhang Tian did not receive them. After all, he is just a rookie, and there are not as many basketball fans as imagined.

Lu Wanwan is planning to go to UBC to continue studying for her degree. Although the Zhang family does not value her degree very much, especially in the eyes of her grandma, giving her a great-grandson is more useful than any degree.

Zhang Tian rented an arena in Sydney, and he still trains according to the plan every day, and the rest of the national team are similar. This may be the most lacking thing in the men's basketball team in the future - work hard, you Instead of sweating off the field, go to a variety show and mix with some comedians. Can you improve your skills? Although some aspects of technology are really innate, if you don’t work hard, what will you use to compete with others? ?

So Zhang Tian doesn't have any affection for Guo Shiqiang's nephew, he's not even as good as the big devil Qiqi, at least he has better static talent than you, what do you have, is Guo Yifen the number one point guard in Asia?In the past, some fans always said that Liu Wei could do nothing but dribble the ball across the half court, but the former could not even dribble the half court, you are called a point guard, you should go to your variety show honestly, don’t come here Oh men's basketball.

Except on the basketball court, Jiang Xingquan seldom cares about the players off the court, and these disciples are also very reassuring. They basically don't know how to eat pancakes, but like Hu Weidong likes to smoke, Jiang Xingquan just opened his eyes. He turned a blind eye, but the other party didn't have a big name enough to ask someone to light a cigarette, so what a certain idiot said was nothing more than sensationalism, and Zhang Tian didn't support or object to Asia Jordan's smoking behavior. Because everyone has their own way of life, and when there are many people, the other party will not smoke, as long as it does not affect you.

As for drinking and eating meat, this Zhang Tian just looked at it, and then continued to eat his boiled chicken breast. "Xiao Zhang, it's too hard for you, why don't you have a big row, my baking skills are famous in the whole national team." Li Xiaoyong saw his old guys eating and drinking, and Zhang Tian was eating. Nutritious meal time came over.

"No, you can eat, I'm used to eating like this."

Perhaps the reason for the seemingly strongest men's basketball team in history in the previous life was the reason for their defeat in the group stage. The league system was not perfect. Although the players worked hard enough in private, they were not self-disciplined in life, which greatly affected their state.But what can be changed by my own arrival, let's talk about it after reaching the top eight.

Jiang Xingquan was paying attention to everything silently, especially after Zhang Tian rejected Li Xiaoyong's platoon, his expression was very weird. It was not correct for him to only focus on training and ignore the mental attributes of the players themselves.
