King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 177 Returning to China for Training Camp
He Yixiang and Su Ruoxuan did not stay in Dallas for too long. Soon He Yixiang returned to China and participated in the training of the new Chinese basketball team. Take back the championship.You must know that in the last final in Tianjin, China's 18-point defeat against Iran shocked the entire Chinese basketball world.In the hearts of the fans, although China has never lost the championship, it has always been lost by training. For example, in 07, they trained young players for the 08 Olympics, but in 09 they lost the championship at home. The fans couldn't accept it, and they said that they must avenge their shame this time.

Before the Asian Championships started, many fans had already set the flag for this training camp.

"We lost to Iran by 18 points the year before last. This time we will win back. I think that although there is still no Yao this time, the combination of He Yixiang and Yi Jianlian may be even stronger than the Twin Towers."

"Indeed! Our insiders do not lack NBA-level insiders. Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi are both at the NBA level. Tang Zhengdong was also the MVP of the three regular seasons of the CBA. But for an outsider like He Yixiang, we don't know how many years it was. That's how it came out."

"Indeed, every time I always say genius boy, genius boy, my ears can hear cocoons, but only He Yixiang has truly fulfilled this title. I feel that even He Yixiang graduated from high school in 09 and joined the national team , then in the 09 final we couldn’t have lost so badly against Iran.”

Of course, the fans think so, and the players still have to train very seriously. After all, victory is gained through sweaty training time and time again.But this time it is a big training camp, with a total of 25 people, and the final big list will be determined after the training status.

Deng Huade adopted a closed method for training management in the team's first training camp. Obviously, this is probably the reason why the Basketball Association has issued a military order to ensure that it will reach the championship this year.The closed training made many players who originally wanted to enjoy the holiday complained. After all, they had just gone through a long season and immediately started training. Not to mention the two NBA players, He Yixiang and Yi Jianlian, and because of the closed management, their biggest entertainment is just watching NBA games.

Of course, the NBA game is also at its climax at this time. The Western Mavericks easily killed the Thunder 4:1. Of course, this is not in line with the predictions of experts. In the eyes of experts, the Mavericks should probably lose to the Kings in the first round. .After winning the Kings, they took it for granted that they would lose to the Lakers. After the Lakers, there was the Thunder. The Mavericks have also experienced a lot of doubts along the way.But the reality is that the Mavericks directly reached the finals with a total score of 12:2. Among them, the Lakers who swept the defending champion made people feel the strength of the Mavericks.This simply swollen the faces of all the experts who predicted before the game.But in He Yixiang's eyes, this is the real calf, the one that beat him so hard that he couldn't fight back.

However, the Heat in the Eastern Conference was also extremely terrifying. Leaving aside the fact that they beat the 76ers in the first round, James did not hold back against the Celtics, an old enemy, in the second round. He sent another 4:1 to the Eastern Conference last year. champion.In the Eastern Conference finals, they faced the league's No. [-] Bulls.Because it was a competition for seniors, He Yixiang still paid close attention to it.But after watching five games, He Yixiang felt more and more the horror of this Heat team and its dominance on both offense and defense.

Except for the first game, the Bulls played like a regular season champion under the cheer of the home court and defeated the Heat. The next three games were defeated like a mountain, and they were beaten by the Heat's powerful impact. .In Game 3 at the Bulls' home court, the Bulls led the Heat by 88:73 by 15 points in the last 3 minutes, but at the last minute, the two superstars of the Heat directly took over the game, James and Wade. The Heat scored all the points at the last minute.And He Yixiang's brother, the regular season MVP Rose was directly blocked by James at this critical moment, and was finally eliminated by a shameful black at home in [-] minutes. Seeing Rose's painful eyes after losing the last mid-range shot on the screen, He Yixiang I can't help feeling a little empathetic, as if I was eliminated by the Mavericks.

"It's a fight between gods, brother Xiang. I have always been curious about the difference between us and those black Americans. I didn't know this group until those fringe players in the NBA came to our league and played like MVPs. How powerful are the American gangsters?" The one who spoke was the young general Ding Jinhui, 22 years old this year, two years older than He Yixiang, and the two had a little more common topics. They glanced at He Yixiang's body and were curious again, " I can’t figure out how you can fight against them in the NBA, Brother Xiang, it looks like you’re not very strong anymore!”

Yi Jianlian, who was watching the game together, couldn't help it all at once, and said with a smile: "Jinhui, don't underestimate this guy's strength, don't look at you as a power forward, if you want to hit him with your back, even if you hit him You can't get in."

When Ding Jinhui heard this, he was a little unhappy. Although he knew that He Yixiang was the irreplaceable core of the team, and he was able to catch some of the top defensive power forwards in the NBA offensively. It can be called a textbook in the NBA. Defensively, he is also the top steal leader in the NBA, but if he can withstand himself in defense against the inside, then he is not convinced, he is a power forward.Just relying on it to make a living, is it not as good as a point guard like you?
Yi Jianlian seemed to see Ding Jinhui's dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we've already finished watching this match, why don't we go outside to practice." Just as He Yixiang was about to refute, Yi Jianlian pretended to look for something and bowed his head He said to He Yixiang: "Xiaoxiang, it's not bad to give them a little setback. The failure of our Tianjin Asian Championships last time has a lot to do with the bad mentality of the young players. Anyway, it's just a matter of time."

He Yixiang had no choice but to smile wryly and nodded in agreement. To be honest, if it wasn't like this, he really didn't want to hurt the self-confidence of a young player like Ding Jinhui, but he also knew that if he wanted to continue to grow, it would be very difficult not to experience some failures.Just like the Mavericks are to me, and the Heat are to Rose, these are the only ways for most players to grow.
