Chapter 219: The new season is coming

In early July, Shentong received an invitation from the domestic basketball association.
　　Asin, who was the chairman of the basketball association, called Shentong and communicated the possibility of serving the country.
　　 The two sides had a more pleasant conversation. Shentong said that it is a glorious honor to be able to serve the country and expressed his willingness to represent China in the competition.
　　 However, because Shentong has not participated in the national team's competition before, and has not yet registered with the domestic basketball association, it is currently not qualified to represent China in the 2002 World Championships, which can only be missed.
　　 However, the two sides will maintain close contact, and Asin also said that he will go through the relevant procedures for Shentong as soon as possible, and strive to make his debut in the next world-class competition.
　　After communicating with Shentong, Asin also communicated with Wang Zhizhi, who was trained in the US, and exchanged ideas with each other.
　　 At the press conference of the Chinese men's basketball team, Asin said to the outside world that domestic players can go to the world's highest stage like the NBA to improve their strength. The Basketball Association is very supportive.
　　 At the same time, he also said that for some Asian games or small events that he can handle, he will not require players who play for the NBA to return to the country to participate in the game. Everything starts from the player's own situation.
　　 Faced the reporter's question, he answered this way.
"We respect the rights and interests of players and hope that they can better enhance their strength in the NBA and serve the motherland better when they come back. For non-world-class events, our domestic CBA players are more than enough to deal with them. They don’t have to come back. And I hope Through this kind of competition, more young people in China can show their opportunities, enhance their strength, let more NBA teams know them, and prompt more Chinese players to play in the NBA. This is a virtuous circle! "
According to Axin, in this World Championship, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Battle will represent the national team, but the next Asian Championship will be based on domestic players, and will not affect the three players in the NBA. status.
　　......
　　 In the 1997 Men's Basketball Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 72-86 to the South Korean team in the semi-finals. Afterwards, they defeated Saudi Arabia 94-68 in the third place competition and only won the third place. They missed the 1998 World Championships.
　　 The 2002 World Championships were the Chinese men's basketball team again after 8 years. In the last 1994 World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the eighth best result in the world.
The Chinese men's basketball team was led by the Bayi men's basketball coach Wang Fei, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Battle, Gong Xiaobin, Du Feng, Li Nan, Hu Weidong, Zhang Cheng, Zhu Fangyu, Chen Ke, Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang to form a big list of twelve people. .
　　 Before the start of the game, the American media predicted who would become the champion, the Chinese men's basketball team ranked fourth! After the United States, Yugoslavia and Canada.
　　 China's three insiders make any team in the world dare not look down on them.
　　China is grouped with Germany, Algeria, and the United States.
　　 In the first game of Germany, the Chinese men's basketball team was suppressed by opponents from the first quarter. Although the counterattack was launched in the fourth quarter, it failed to reverse the defeat.
　　 76-88, China lost.
　　Battelle contributed the highest 23 points of the Chinese team, Yao Ming also had 14 points, and Nowitzki of the German team scored 30 points.
　　 In the second battle, the Chinese team won 96-82 in the face of the weakest Algeria in the group.
　　 This game Yao Ming showed the strength of the new champion, playing 27 minutes in the game, scoring 38 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 8 blocks of comprehensive data!
　　 In the third battle, facing the powerful American Dream Five, the Chinese men's basketball team shocked the world in the first quarter!
　　 28-16, 12 points ahead of the US team in a single quarter.
　　 However, with the exhaustion of physical strength and the departure of Yao Ming's 5 commits, the Chinese men's basketball team eventually lost 65-84.
　　 The best player in this game was Battle. In the face of Ben Wallace, O'Neal and Brand, etc., Battle scored 19 points and 7 rebounds.
　　......
　　 In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team ranked only 12, in the qualifying, the Chinese team even lost 84-96 to Angola.
　　 This year's World Championships, the American men's basketball team also suffered a historic fiasco.
　　 They have lost to Argentina, Yugoslavia and Spain, and finally ranked sixth.
　　 The American media made a ruthless criticism of Dream Five, saying that it lost the glorious tradition of the American men's basketball team.
　　 "The invincible era of America is over..."
As for the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team, the general consensus is that this team's inside strength is already world-class, but there is a lack of good outside players. Although Hu Weidong made 6 three-pointers in the rematch against Turkey , But he is at the end of his career after all.
　　 But the Chinese men's basketball fans have not lost hope.
　　Because they still have an outside ace, this World Championship did not participate!
　　 In the end, the Yugoslav team with multiple NBA players won the championship, the Argentina team came second, and the German team led by Nowitzki won the third place.
　　......
time flies.
　　 In another half a month, each team will begin to build up training one after another in preparation for the new season.
　　Some people are still drunk, and some are still on vacation, but Shentong has decided to start restorative personal training in advance to adjust the state.
　　 "Hey, Richard, I'm ready to resume training, let's go together."
　　 "Loren, do you train together? In the new season, you have to fight for more playing time."
　　 "Gilbert...what? Have you already started training?"
　　......
　　 Familiar Arizona basketball court.
　　Four people got together to train again, sweating in the sultry arena.
　　 Everything seems to be back to that summer...
　　Shentong often performs one-on-one with Arenas, winning more and losing less.
　　 Four people often play two-on-two.
　　Sometimes, Arenas will teach Shentong some high-end dribbling skills, while Shentong will tell Arenas himself some valuable experience of running position.
In addition to training on the court, Woods and Jefferson also conducted a lot of strength training without the ball.
　　Woods is tall, but he is too thin. He needs to strengthen his strength in order to occupy his own position in the inner line.
　　 As for Jefferson, his size is actually similar to that of Shentong, but because he is playing small forward in the third position, the physical strength requirements will be higher.
　　......
　　 Two weeks later.
　　 "Listen, here is my place." Arenas shouted.
"Your site? Man, this is our home court, not yours. If you say this is your site, then I can also say it belongs to me. If you step on this course now, even if you step on me On the site." Shen Tong choked back mercilessly.
　　 "Today is the last day of the training, it's time to finish."
　　 "It's over? Dude~EbookFREE.me~ Did you lose enough during this time?"
　　 "Don't laugh, let's start, I will serve first because I am big." Arenas said.
　　 "What do you mean, you are big?" Shentong looked at the other party.
　　 "Man, I mean, because I am old, I serve first."
　　 "Okay, no problem. But it's a pity, there are only two people here, and the others can't appreciate the bear-like bear you abused by me."
　　 "Appreciation?"
　　 "Yes."
　　 "Battered?"
　　 "Yes."
　　 "You dare to talk too much. You should be thankful that there are only four of us here, and no one else is present, so as not to see you being beaten up."
　　 "What more words. Come on!"
　　......
　　 Arenas sat down on the floor.
　　The two-week training for the four people was finally over.
　　 Starting tomorrow, the teams will be assembled one after another.
　　Before leaving, Jefferson proposed: "Every of us throw the last three-pointer and then disband it, how?"
　　 "No problem!" The other three immediately agreed.
　　 Throw a goal and go home, this is a tradition.
　　......
　　 fifteen minutes later.
　　 With the three-pointer thrown by Loren Woods passing through the net, excitement cheered immediately in the basketball hall!
　　 Those home that you can't shoot are the retention of the basketball court...
　　 The new season is coming.
