God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 586
It was so exciting to defeat Croatia and enter the semi-finals. It was so exciting that both Jonas and Chang Wei were taken aback during the training session on the second day: All the players of the Chinese men’s basketball team appeared in the training hall with dark circles under their eyes. Yawning.

Jonas' face was so dark that it was about to rain. He didn't hurry up and arrange the items like in the previous training session. Instead, he gathered everyone together and asked with a dark face: "The hands of those who didn't sleep well last night? lift it up!"

Almost everyone raised their hands, including Yao Ming, and Jonas' face was even more ugly. The Chinese team still wants to make it to the semi-finals and enter the final in such a state?Go dreaming!While pacing slowly in front of the queue, Jonas began to curse: "Do you think it is enough to reach the semi-finals? Or do you think the semi-finals are easier than the quarter-finals? Maybe you didn't have such a situation before. Thoughts, but your current state tells me that you think so! How could the whole team not sleep well because they beat Croatia? In my opinion, this is a very unprofessional performance and disrespect to yourself! "

Chang Wei looked at the players who bowed their heads in shame, and felt very helpless in his heart. This kind of thing is excitement, and it is enough to be excited after the game.If it is the last game, it is normal to stay up all night with excitement, but then they have another game against Lithuania to play, and if they maintain this mentality, there is no way.

Over there, Yunus has already ordered with a dark face: "Everyone, go out now and run me 20 laps around the standard track. If you don't perform well, add more. Tactical training and recovery training will start this afternoon, and start right away! Go! Go! Go!"

The team leader couldn't bear it, so he walked up to Yunus and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this suitable? Tomorrow night is the race, do we need them to run 20 laps today? Will it affect their physical strength?" have a huge impact?"

Before Yunus had time to speak, Chang Wei took out a few bottles of magic drinks and said to the team leader: "It's okay, I still have enough magic drinks here, if the physical exertion is too much, it may help them, it shouldn't Delay tomorrow night's game." Although Chang Wei used words like "maybe" and "should", his tone was still full of confidence.

The leader of the team is naturally well aware of the efficacy of the magical drink. Chang Wei was relieved to take out so much at once, nodded and said: "Then please, don't let this punishment affect tomorrow. Game tonight!"

After appeasing the team leader, Chang Wei went to persuade Yunus: "Coach, there is a reason for them to be excited. After all, this is the best result the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved in the Olympics. After yesterday's game, you didn't see the fans. are you crazy?"

Jonas shook his head and said, "I know, but that's not the reason why they stayed up all night and exhausted their energy. They still have a very crucial game to play. As a professional player, if you are complacent because of a victory in a game, then It doesn't deserve to be called a career. And even without that, I don't have much confidence in beating Lithuania."

"It doesn't matter, just do your best," Chang Wei said, "We have created a new history anyway. Even if we lose, it's okay. We can do it again in London four years later. Maybe we will have a good result if we fight to the death. Woolen cloth!"

After the national players dragged their tired bodies back to the training hall like dead dogs, Jonas directly announced the disbandment and asked to gather at the training hall again at 30 pm.At the same time, he also left a task for the team members, which is to take a good nap at noon to replenish the overdrawn energy due to insomnia last night. If anyone is still listless in the afternoon, sorry, [-] laps.

The threat of 30 laps made everyone go back at noon, whether they wanted to or not, and lay down on the bed for two hours to rest. When they appeared on the training ground in the afternoon, they finally returned to their normal appearance.However, Jonas still didn't have a good face. After arranging the training program, he let the players go to practice separately, while he stood aside and watched coldly.

Of course, Jonas did not stand aside in a daze, but was thinking about the strategy against Lithuania.As a strong team in Eastern Europe, Lithuania has two active NBA players, Kleiza and Jaskovicius, and their teamwork is not inferior to that of Croatia.What's more, Lithuania is the team with the second-highest field goal percentage at the Olympics, behind only the United States.

In the previous games, the combination of Kleiza and Jaskovicius, one inside and one outside, performed very well, and made great contributions to Lithuania becoming the first in Group A.In the last game against Greece, Kleiza scored a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Jascovicius contributed a game-high 27 points, beating the European King Spanoulis. One can imagine.

In fact, up to now, each team has no cards. It depends on whose overall strength is stronger, or who can play with a higher upper limit. China is still inferior to Lithuania in this regard.But Jonas doesn't have any surprise players now, and he can only expect everyone to explode in the game, especially Yao Ming. As long as he can play an advantage at the basket, he still has the possibility of winning.

After the training, Jonas called Yao Ming aside and told him his thoughts.Yao Ming was not surprised, it was not the first time he did such a thing, but he still raised his doubts: "Jaskovicius performed very well on the outside, if I was the only one scoring inside, We don't seem to have any chance of winning, do we?"

"So the outside line is basically defensive," Jonas shrugged, "as long as we can restrain him, we can still win. If we beat Lithuania, we can at least get a medal. "

When Yunus and Yao Ming communicated, Chang Wei didn't go over to listen, but more or less he could guess what Yunus was talking about.However, Chang Wei is not optimistic about Jonas's idea. Jaskovicius can even suppress Spanoulis, and the Chinese team's perimeter defense may not be of much use to him.Moreover, Kleiza is the kind of inside player who is physically fit and has a three-point shot. Yao Ming may not be able to beat him inside.

However, Chang Wei will not pour cold water on it now. For this brand new Chinese men's basketball team, any result of the game is possible. Except that it is almost impossible to beat the American Dream Eight team, it has the power to fight against any opponent. .
