The older superstars of the NBA

"Wang Zhizhi?"

"Sun Yue?"

Yi Jianlian couldn't help sighing when he heard these two names.

Zhao Feiyang was very surprised, "Do you think they can't do it?"

"of course not."

Yi Jianlian replied, "We have played together in the Olympic Games. I know their strength better than anyone else. However, the national team's affairs are far more than just basketball... Let me say this... .Can you understand?"

Zhao Feiyang and Yi Jianlian looked at each other, and neither of them continued talking.

Despite such psychological preparation, Zhao Feiyang was still very helpless when he got the answer.

"If they can join the national team, the national team must be much stronger than it is now..."

Zhao Feiyang is not a person who gives up easily, especially when it comes to the victory or defeat of the national team.

Therefore, on the second day after the competition, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to go to the door of the office of the head of the training base to find Xin Guotao who was resting.

Bang bang bang.

The door of the office was open, and Xin Guotao, who was sitting on a chair, was resting with his eyes closed.It seemed that he was a little upset about being interrupted, and just about to speak angrily, but saw that it was Zhao Feiyang who came.

Xin Guotao immediately restrained his unhappiness, stood up very politely, and welcomed Zhao Feiyang in.

"Feiyang is here! What's the matter?"

Zhao Feiyang also sat down on the sofa.

He was not too polite, and directly stated his intention to come to Xin Guotao, "Chairman Xin, you have also seen the national team's game, so I have something to say... The current national team is not strong enough. If If we want to achieve results in the World Cup group stage, I think we still need to strengthen the lineup...."

Xin Guotao smiled when he heard what Zhao Feiyang said.

"good."

"Feiyang, I am very glad that you can consider for the national team! You are the hero of yesterday's game and also the object that the national team relies heavily on. What do you want? Tell me! I want to hear your plan... .”

Xin Guotao put on the posture of an elder who speaks earnestly and earnestly, which surprised Zhao Feiyang from the bottom of his heart.

If it wasn't for hearing so many rumors about Xin Guotao, Zhao Feiyang would probably have mistakenly thought that he was the leader who really cared about the players of the national team with Xin Guotao's current attitude.

"My idea is very simple. Wang Zhizhi can make up for our gap in the interior, and Sun Yue can ensure the height and offensive firepower of the back line... If the two of them can return to the national team, I think we The World Cup group stage should be smoother......."

Zhao Feiyang finished speaking a second ago, and the smile on Xin Guotao's face disappeared in the next second.

Especially when the name "Wang Zhizhi" was mentioned, for a moment, Xin Guotao's smile almost froze on his face.

Fortunately, his reaction was very quick, and he quickly returned to his previous calm appearance, and turned to Zhao Feiyang and said, "Feiyang, I have considered the big Zhi and Sun Yue you mentioned...not just me, The national team has also considered them, especially Sun Yue, and we even held a special meeting internally...."

"However, I'm afraid you don't know much about Sun Yue's situation. His shoulder condition is not very optimistic after the end of the season... Yanjing Club has also expressed that in order for Sun Yue to play healthy next season , they decided to allow Sun Yue to undergo surgery during the offseason...."

"Of course we want Sun Yue to play, but his injury is related to his career, so we can't let him play with injuries for the sake of the game..."

Xin Guotao's reason is indeed no problem.

Zhao Feiyang believed a little at first, but soon he became suspicious again.Yao Ming had many injuries before, but he didn't miss many games in the national team. Why did the national team suddenly become so enlightened when he came to Sun Yue?

However, if Sun Yue is really injured, there is really no way to help the national team play in the World Cup.

Letting the opponent risk their career reimbursement for the World Cup is a very shameless behavior in itself!

"What about Wang Zhizhi?"

Zhao Feiyang asked again.

Xin Guotao took his time, "Da Zhi's body is fine, but he is a bit old, he is 36 years old...I admit that Da Zhi's skills are completely fine, and he can still help the country. team, but the national team can’t always rely on him!”

"What if he retires from the national team? Are we going to keep him from leaving?"

"So this time his withdrawal is also the result of the high-level discussion of the national team...We have selected so many rookies not because we want to use it, but because we have to consider the future of the national team... ..”

After talking about this step, Zhao Feiyang really has nothing to say.

No matter what the truth is, at least the reason the other party said on the surface is completely fine.

Seeing that there was really no other way, Zhao Feiyang stopped talking nonsense and immediately bid farewell and left Xin Guotao's office.

After he left, Xin Guotao finally showed his true colors of displeasure.

"Humph!"

"I said that a person who can play can play even if he can't play; if I say he can't play, then he will not be able to enter the national team even if he can play..."

There is not much time left in the World Cup group stage. After two days of rest, the Huaxia men's basketball team finally set off for Madrid, Spain to wait for the official start of the competition.

Before the Huaxia men's basketball team set off, the official lottery results were officially released.

This time, the Huaxia men's basketball team was quite lucky. They did not get drawn into a group with super teams like Spain or the United States, but successfully entered Group D.

The opponents in Group D are Slovenia, Lithuania, Angola, Kimchi Country and the Mexican men's basketball team.

There are a total of 24 participating teams in the World Cup, which are divided into 4 groups, abcd, with 6 participating teams in each group.In the first round of the group stage, elimination will be done through points and other methods. The top four teams with high points will advance to the next round, and the last two teams with low points will be eliminated.

As soon as the quota for the group stage was announced, Huaxia fans also started discussing their opponents this time.

"There are only three teams in Group D that pose a threat to us. The first is Slovenia. They are a strong team in the European League. In the last Men's Basketball World Championships, they finally reached the semi-finals... In terms of strength, absolutely Stronger than us...."

"The second team is the Lithuanian men's basketball team. They won the No.96 results in the 00 and 3 Olympic Games. We definitely can't do it at this level..."

"The third team is the Angola men's basketball team. Although they are not as strong as the first two opponents, they are the top three teams in Africa. They have almost never fallen out of this ranking. They belong to the kind that can be fought for and maybe won. opponent......."

"Kimchi Country has no big problem with the Mexican men's basketball team. If we can't beat them, it's really embarrassing..."

"Damn! In this comparison, it seems that only two opponents are weaker than us, and the others are stronger than us...Who said this group is the best?"

"It's not bad! Let you go to Group A or Group C, with the Spanish men's basketball team, the American men's basketball team, or the French men's basketball team... I guess we can be swept out of the group stage... ...."
