Chapter 228 Preparing for the Olympics
From the end of April when the Philadelphia team was eliminated in the first round until the finals came to an end on June 4, for a month and a half, Channing stayed in the training hall. Kyle Lowry.

Lowry was also dissatisfied with his three-pointers. When he found out that the team boss was secretly training alone, Lowry was shocked. He stayed and practiced with Channing from morning to night every day. However, Compared with Channing, who is immersed in training, Lowry is a little less focused, and is always attracted by the ongoing playoffs.

"Good news boss, the Magic were eliminated by the Pistons in the second round, haha, they also have today!"

"Heavy news, James is going to tie the game with the Celtics, and I don't know if the Big Three will be pulled down?"

"The Lakers eliminated the Spurs and played against the Celtics in the finals!"

All kinds of explosive news came from the Internet, making Lowry's young heart twitching. Many times, Lowry wanted to use the excuse of peeing to sneak out of the training hall to watch live TV. However, to Lowry's surprise, the boss Although Chan Ning kept his ears to the outside world, he was able to accurately predict the winner of each series and never missed a single match.

"Come on, it's amazing."

Lowry was very regretful. If he had gambled according to Channing's prediction earlier, would he be full of brains if he didn't win now?

What shocked Lowry even more was that two days before the finals, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge called Channing and invited him to watch the finals live in Boston.

"No need, Mr. Danny Ainge, I'm busy with offseason training and don't have time. Thank you for your invitation. By the way, congratulations to the Celtics for beating the Lakers 4-2 and winning this year's championship!"

Hanging up the phone, Channing continued to practice hard. After 6 games in the finals, Danny Ainge realized that Channing's congratulations were not just a fake courtesy.

On June 2008, 6, another year of NBA officially came to an end. With the cooperation of the Big Three, the Celtics successfully defeated the Lakers and won the O'Brien Cup, drawing a successful conclusion to the entire season. period.

If he accepted Danny Ainge's suggestion earlier and joined the Celtics, Channing would have worn the championship ring from his rookie season, but this is not Channing's goal. The head of the chicken is not the queen. Compared with the championship, Qian Ning cares more about building a championship team with himself as the core. In the process of competing for the championship, he constantly improves himself and challenges himself. He has been working hard on the way.

Throughout the 6 games of the finals, what impressed Channing the most was that the Lakers All-Star power forward Gasol was crushed by Garnett. There is another saying that in order to avoid injury, Gasol obviously stopped playing in the finals, and he was saving his energy to prepare for the Olympics. It is not known whether it is true or not, but Channing can be sure that BJ's Olympics , Gasol is not soft at all, very difficult to deal with, the number one center in Europe, so that Asia's number one center Yao Ming and America's number one center Howard both have a headache.

On June 6th, the personal special training ended, and after assigning Lowry homework for the summer vacation, Channing completed all the matters in the United States. He made an appointment with Yi Jianlian, who also just finished the special training, and returned to China by plane together. In the familiar motherland, a big event that makes all the sons and daughters of China excited is waiting for Qian Ning's participation.

In 2008, the BJ Olympic Games, the 29th Summer Olympic Games, was also the first time that China opened its arms to the world, and the sons and daughters of China proudly showed the elegance of the ancient oriental nation to the world.

This is a grand event for sports and for the people of the whole country. For Channing before his rebirth, this is also a good memory.

At that time, Qian Ning was only 17 years old, and he was still a high school student. In the third year of high school, he was making up classes every day during the summer vacation. The school specially gave a one-month vacation to let the students prepare for the Olympics.

Volunteers all over the streets, the five lucky girls of the Olympic Games, the star-studded BJ welcome you, the big footprints at the opening ceremony, the national team sportswear with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, this Olympic Games has left too many unforgettable memories for people.

For an ordinary basketball fan at the time, the 08 Chinese men's basketball team was also the most powerful men's basketball team. Yao Ming's opening three-pointer against the United States, I still have 3 fouls to accompany you to play domineering trash talk , Sun Yue blocked Howard, the UAE dunked Anthony, Chen Jianghua passed Kobe's goal one-stop and blown his life, and the regret of being reversed by Spain in the fourth quarter.

For the Chinese fans of later generations, they have never seen Mu Tiezhu play, and they have not witnessed the glory of Zheng Wu, Sun Jun, and Hu Weidong of the 94 golden generation. 2008 was the peak moment of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Being able to be reborn with the task system and participating in the 08 Olympic Games as a member of the Chinese men's basketball team is really a dream come true for Qian Ning.

The current timetable is June 6st, and there is still more than a month before the opening of the Olympic Games. As soon as he got off the plane, Channing felt the enthusiasm of the people of his motherland for preparing for the Olympics. Many volunteers are fans of Channing. Just sign for them It took close to 21 minutes.

Under the guidance of the pick-up staff of the Chinese men's basketball team, Qian Ning and Yi Jianlian got into the car and went to the training center to report and start preparing for the Olympics.

In order to show the best condition to participate in the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has formulated a series of preparation plans since last year. The preparations are currently in the second stage. After Yao Ming's successful ankle surgery, he is recovering well. The team practiced together. With the return of Qian Ning and Yi Jianlian, the entire Chinese men's basketball team was fully equipped for the first time.

Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will combine games and practice, and they will be greeted by 20 warm-up matches that have been arranged long ago. The opponents include Lithuania, Australia, Angola and other good teams.

Although the staff is complete, the Chinese men's basketball team still faces two severe difficulties, one is the death group, and the other is the player's injury problem.

In the results of the group draw announced in April, the Chinese men's basketball team will be grouped with the "dream team" US team, world champion Spain, Angola and two undecided teams from the losing round, namely Germany and Greece. The team can be called the real death group.

In terms of injuries, Yao Ming has just started training after the operation. Before that, he was away from the court for half a year. It is still unknown how well he can recover. Ah Lian also suffered injuries to his wrists and knees. Generally speaking, his knee spurs are more serious. , He chose to postpone the operation in order not to affect the Olympic Games, but this will inevitably affect his general performance.
