MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1430 Is the championship still far away?
Latest URL: As soon as the draft is over, Louis will no longer interfere with team affairs as he did last year. Because the contract should be renewed, the contract was renewed last year, and this summer will be the off-season for the Lakers.
There won't be much manipulation, just make sure it stays the way it is until next season. Louie enjoyed a two-day holiday with his family before flying home.
During Louis' departure, the head coach in charge of the national team was Del Harris.
Prior to this, the men's basketball team has been training for two months and played more than a dozen warm-up matches, with a very good record.
This year's World Championships is highly concerned by all parties, because this is the first World Series since Louis coached the men's basketball team.
For Louis, this wasn't even a goal.
After meeting with Harris and the others, Louis first asked about the current situation of the team.
Harris said very confidently: "Don't worry, the morale of the team is high. I can't wait for the World Championships to start tomorrow. This time we have a great chance!"
Louis didn't know what Harris meant by the great chance, probably the chance to take off his hat? After being registered in the General Administration, Louis officially returned to the men's basketball team.
On the first day of his return, Louis first organized the players on the roster to play a match.
This year's national team is formed on the basis of last year's team, supplemented by Yao Yueban from Wake Forest University and Du Shuai, who withdrew due to injury last year.
Not to mention Yao Yueban not only attracts a lot of domestic attention, but also attracts a lot of attention abroad.
Some scouts predicted that in the next few years, no matter which draft Yao Yueban participated in, he would be the sure No. 1 pick.
There are too many associations that a skilled 2.2 meter insider can bring to people. The expectation of the quasi-champion pick will also make Yao Yueban train harder.
The current strength of the national team actually does not need the help of 18-year-old Yao Yueban.
It’s just that the national team has always had the tradition of bringing newcomers to big competitions. In Louis’s previous life, Wang Zhizhi in 1996, Yao in 2000, Kongkongyi in 2004, Xu Yong in 2008 (retired due to injury, absent) (1), 10 years old Guo Shao, 14-year-old Zhou Qi. . . . . . Regardless of the composition of the national team, the coaching staff will bring the best seedlings of the next generation to help them experience and improve.
Naturally, Louis couldn't be exempt, and with Yao Yueban's potential, he was totally worthy of this spot. The addition of Yao Yueban greatly inflated the men's basketball team's inside talent.
Yu Tiancan, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Yueban, the three of them stepped inside, and the dream team had to weigh their weight when they met.
On the tenth day of the training camp organized by Louis, the roster can basically be determined.
With more than a month to go until the World Championships in Greece, Louie doesn't want to waste time on the squad. Decide who you want and who you want to be a backup, and then you have to go overseas for training.
The national team in the second stage of Lu has received too much attention in China. Louis chose to go overseas for the big competition.
In mid-July, the dream team composed of Penny, Hill, Garnett and other young NBA superstars of the new generation held the "Freedom Cup" International Invitational Tournament in Las Vegas.
Among them, the Chinese team, the German team, the Greek team, the Canadian team and the Yugoslavia team were invited to participate. The men's basketball team played easily, and met the world's top team Yugoslavia in the first game of the cup.
After a year of training in the NBA, Bodi Loga became more comfortable playing FIBA games, scoring 26 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists to defeat the men's basketball team.
"This guy is really a bad boy in the men's basketball team."
In Louis' impression, Bodi Loga played very well every time he played men's basketball. In the second game after that, the men's basketball team beat the German team by a big score.
The young Nowitzki also made his debut in this game.
Although he does not yet have the superstar-level weight, Nowitzki has passed this small test of the battle, showing his potential as the most undefensible offensive killer in the NBA in the future.
Then, the cup entered the knockout round, and the men's basketball team played against the US team. This is a game that Louis has carefully prepared.
Through the advantages of FIBA rules, the inside line of the Chinese team has achieved
upper hand.
But the suspense of the game didn't last for three quarters at all. The US team's flanking athletic ability advantage and rotation counterattack that can knock down all opponents made them easily win.
117 to 102
Although the Chinese team has an inside advantage, but if they play normally, the point difference in this game is an indelible talent gap between the Chinese team and the US team.
In this game, Louis still has reservations.
Core players such as Liu Yuqing and Hu Weidong have not played for a long time. Louie's purpose is to test the strengths and weaknesses of both sides in all aspects through this game.
It turns out that if they play according to the American team's favorite rhythm, there is probably a ten-point difference in hard power between them.
The significance of the existence of the coaching staff is to erase the gap of more than ten points. The men's basketball team was eliminated by the U.S. team and stopped the "Liberty Cup" competition.
Afterwards, the U.S. team and Yugoslavia met in the final, fought fiercely for four quarters, and finally defeated Yugoslavia at home and won the Liberty Cup as they wished.
In the next half month, the men's basketball team has been training in the United States, and almost no news has flowed out. On July 29, Louis led his team to Greece to participate in this year's World Championships.
This year, the men's basketball team was placed in Group C, along with Brazil, Lithuania and the United States.
According to general practice, the group match against the US team should choose to give up strategically.
However, when Louis made the decision to go all out to win, the men's basketball team leader was obviously surprised and disapproved.
But Louis is different from any coach in the history of the men's basketball team. He made this decision without considering other influences. It's clear that the players appreciate the coaching staff's decision.
They are already very strong, what are they afraid of when they look forward and backward? Just do it!
In the first game of the World Championships, the men's basketball team played against Brazil. They used the inside advantage to the extreme, successfully suppressed Brazil's score within 50 points, and ended the game with a high score of 94 points.
After winning the opener, Louie delivered a speech that would become famous in the future: "I have a team that couldn't be better. Anyone who has the honor of coaching them and not aiming for a championship is absurd. World champions are not Americans. Accessories, if they can take it, so can we!"
In the second match of the group stage, facing Lithuania, the men's basketball team, Louis used the flank attack firepower of Hu Weidong, Liu Yuqing, Du Shuai and others to establish an advantage by calling infinitely. The advantage will suppress Lithuania from the beginning to the end.
104 to 87
Lithuania was also knocked down. The men's basketball team won two consecutive victories in the group stage, and then ushered in the last opponent in the same group-the American Dream Team.
This time, Louis did not hold back, the rotation was shortened to eight people, and he tried his best to fight the US team in a fierce battle.
The two sides fought fiercely for four quarters. Three minutes before the end of the game, the Dream Team used a counterattack and a three-pointer to open the score. Finally, they defeated the men's basketball team 114-105, won three consecutive victories, and entered the second week of the game with the first place in the group .
The men's basketball team entered the second round with the second place in the group with two wins and one loss.
The competition system of this year's World Championships is very simple and clear. There will be two rounds in the group stage. In the first round, the same group will fight. In the second round, the 12 teams with the best record in the first round will be selected and divided into two groups. Four of the teams entered the final four, and the remaining teams played qualifying games after the group stage.
In the three games of the second round, the Chinese team encountered Australia, Argentina and Spain successively. Louis always believed that the personal ability of his outside core was higher than that of the European powers. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, he also did everything possible tactically provide support. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
As a result, it indirectly helped Hu Weidong, Liu Yuqing, Wang Mukong, Du Shuai and others play a dominant outside performance. The outside shooters of the national basketball team became the killers of the European powers, and Argentina lost by 22 points.
Australia was defeated by Hu Weidong with hand-to-hand combat and the Chinese team entered overtime.
Spain tried to counter attack with offense, but Liu Yuqing and Hu Weidong scored a total of 12 three-pointers and wiped them out in one fell swoop.
In the two rounds, the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.
Anticipation of uncapping before the game, and a chance to make a whole new history.
"Our goal is not only this, no matter who stands in front of us, we will defeat them!" The team captain Hu Weidong said to the reporter with great momentum on the night of reaching the semi-finals.
(1) I've always wondered why no one wrote the basketball article about re-opening Xu Yong. Isn't China Carter famous? This is one of the biggest what-ifs in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. Xu Yong's early retirement due to injury is a huge loss for the national basketball team, and it also opened the curse of the men's basketball flank ace being plagued by injuries.
