Basketball glory

The promised friendly match will be late, but it will never disappear.

After waiting for three days, I made a reservation at the basketball stadium the day before the Olympics. At the same time, I was invited by the US team to play a friendly match.

In Enron's view, the US team would choose them as their opponents in the friendly match, mostly because of exchanges between countries. If they want to train, it would be better to choose Argentina or Serbia.

In friendly matches, they can let things go and strengthen the friendship between them, but once it comes to the real Olympics, I'm afraid they will show their 100% strength.

The day before the opening ceremony, the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the United States team was also the last time the arena was open. After that, it will be maintained and repaired to ensure normal use during the Olympics.

In the past few days, Brazil, as the host nation, had almost all the rights to use the arena and played against four or five teams. If the Chinese team and the American team had not arrived late, they would probably have invited them to play together.

Competition communication.

An Ran understands their approach very well. After all, the Brazilian team is not a top-level team and it is almost impossible to win medals. Therefore, it is better to make friends through football and gain more exposure.

On the morning of the 4th, the Chinese men's basketball team, which had gotten up early and packed up, was already gathering and getting ready to warm up. The warm-up match was scheduled for 11 o'clock in the morning. This first game of the men's basketball team also attracted enough domestic attention.

Basketball and volleyball are the most widely spread big-ball sports in China. Every game affects the hearts of the Chinese people. Especially the women's volleyball team coached by Lang Ping is very likely to win the Olympic championship. Big-ball sports will also benefit from this.

It has received the most widespread attention across the country.

Guo Ailun was wearing his own arm guards in the locker room, but he looked a little nervous. He was pulling the arm guards up and down, and he didn't know how to make them more comfortable. He even tied and untied his shoelaces. He didn't know what he was thinking.

something.

An Ran was arranging his uniforms and felt that the color was too hot. A set of fiery red uniforms looked very young, and Panlong showed the overall style of the men's basketball team. The white uniforms were even more exquisitely designed, making them look very youthful.

People take one look at him and think he is a player with substance.

"You're so nervous."

An Ran sat next to Guo Ailun and gently patted his thigh.

Guo Ailun glanced at An Ran who was approaching him, grinned, and then whispered: "Let me tell you a secret, we have been targeted by CCTV since today's friendly match, and the whole process will be broadcast live."

An Ran glanced at him dumbfounded and thought, "What does this have to do with your nervousness? There are not enough live broadcasts."

"I'm worried about whether I can still maintain my handsomeness under the muscle forest of the US team. Look, does my arm guard pull to this position best reflect my manliness?"

An Ran watched him take off his arm guard with his own hands and lowered it to the wrist. It was a little loose, but he really looked like a young man who loves freedom and freedom.

But this kind of dress is really not suitable for wearing in games. An Ran thought about it and reminded: "The arm guards are too long. Will they affect your dribbling? They reach the wrist position."

Unexpectedly, Guo Ailun rolled his eyes with just one sentence, as if saying he would not be affected.

"But this is not handsome. Look at Yi Jianlian. Those bulging muscles are called handsome and manly. Look at his black arm guards, they are almost bursting." Zhao Jiwei noticed.

The situation here, and then interjected.

Hearing this, Guo Ailun actually nodded. Looking over, he found that Yi Jianlian's thick arms seemed more attractive, and then silently pulled up his arm guard.

An Ran stared at him speechlessly. She originally thought that he was nervous and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't expect that he was actually thinking about how to be stinky and how to look more handsome on the live broadcast.

An Ran sighed silently, feeling a little angry.

Because he found that except for himself, no one else in the locker room was nervous. Instead, they were talking and laughing and doing their own things.

At first it seemed that they had been preparing, and they thought they were trying to get a good start, but now it seems that they are really overthinking it.

Although I don’t think I can beat the American team in the warm-up match, I at least have a good attitude. This is the first time for Anron to participate in this kind of world competition, but he keenly feels that the atmosphere of the team is not right. It seems that after coming to Brazil

, the winning mentality I had during previous training sessions is gone.

An Ran thought in confusion, "Are you afraid of being beaten by them, or are you just enjoying your trip to Rio de Janeiro?"

An Ran did not keep An Ran waiting for a long time. An Ran saw Gong Luming walking over talking and laughing, and then stood in front of everyone. An Ran took a closer look, and saw an old man with gray hair standing in front of him, looking very kind and kind.

Look at yourself.

But looking at the way he glanced, An Ran knew that he was not just looking at himself, but was admiring the Chinese players and the Chinese locker room. After all, as a well-disciplined team, the Chinese are much neater than those countries that promote freedom.

.

A row of football uniforms hang high in the window, and spare shoes are neatly arranged in a row.

Even the old man from West Point Military Academy couldn't help but nod his head when he saw this.

"Everyone has gathered together. Let me introduce to you. This is Mike Krzyzewski, the coach from the US team. If you are not familiar with this name, then you should all know it when I mention coach K."

Gong Luming took the lead in applauding to welcome his arrival, and others also applauded together.

There was no reaction on the surface, but inside he was extremely shocked, as if a stormy sea had stirred up.

Coach K is the head coach of the American Dream Team. He is 71 years old and was born in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He has coached Duke University for 23 years and has single-handedly built Duke University into a famous basketball school and one of the best in the United States. He has currently coached the American Dream Team for 9 years and won the

He went to Beijing and won two gold medals at the London Olympics, with a coaching record of 67 wins and 1 loss.

It can be said that the coach in front of me is already a well-known basketball coach at home and abroad. He has won numerous honors in his life and is admired by thousands of people.

An Ran suppressed her emotions when she saw him, and took a few deep breaths before calming down. The old man in his seventies before him was so legendary. Standing in front of him, An Ran felt as if he had nothing to hide.

Same shape.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you." Coach K greeted everyone in non-standard Chinese.

"What, you can speak Chinese? So good?" Guo Ailun couldn't control himself at first and looked at him with admiration. When he said hello in Chinese, he was so surprised that his tongue almost dropped.

Coach K's contribution to basketball is no less than that of Jordan. If Jordan is the athlete representative of basketball culture, this coach is equivalent to the godfather.

An Ran heard him respond in a low voice: "I know some simple words, no matter how difficult they are, I won't know them."

After saying that, he looked embarrassed, as if it was a pity not to be proficient in Chinese.

Yi Jianlian walked up to him and whispered something, and then An Ran saw that he was very happy. Coach K patted him on the shoulder and smiled happily.

"What are they talking about?" Guo Ailun didn't look away from him at all, but asked An Ran beside him.

"I guess he was talking about hoping to play well in the future. I heard that he was kind to Yi Jianlian." Ju Ran answered this question for An Ran.

In fact, everyone present wanted to gather around and talk to him, but there were really not many people who had the qualifications to talk to him.

Although he was always smiling and very amiable, his calm and self-defeating look was intimidating. After all, facing this world-class legendary coach, an ordinary player could only admire him.

"He has never coached in the NBA, so what's the benefit of knowing him?" An Ran asked.

Although Yi Jianlian had a short NBA career, it is not known that he has any deep friendship with any coach.

Ju Ran smiled, then shook his head at An Ran and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because of the basketball philosophy. After all, we are all from the basketball circle. Just because we haven't coached before doesn't mean we don't have communication."

Enron fully agrees with this. In fact, the real tactical masters and basketball concept leaders all coach in universities. They place more emphasis on execution rather than the personal ability of the players. In American universities, no matter how capable or confident you are,

Your playing style is correct and you must strictly follow the coach's instructions.

The coach's orders are everything, and the coach's tactics are everything. As a player, all you have to do is execute.

This is why some people say that the coaching quality of the NCAA is much better than that of the NBA. Many teams in the NBA are more of a team of stars. After all, some stars are so powerful that they can change the situation on their own, while in college leagues

rare.

Old Coach K stayed in the locker room for a while, chatted with everyone about the CBA situation and then prepared to go back, because it was time for a friendly match with the US team, and he still had to leave some time for the players to warm up.

An Ran thought that if it wasn't for the game with the American team, Gong Luming probably wouldn't be able to invite him over.

When watching him go out, what people didn't expect was that he suddenly turned back, looked at everyone's incomprehensible eyes, then pondered for a while, and then turned around and went out again, as if he was hesitant to speak.

His behavior made everyone a little confused, wondering what happened. Gong Luming on the side was even more curious, why did he suddenly turn around, did he want to say something, and why didn't he say anything.

Being interrupted by him, the atmosphere in the entire locker room became much more solemn.

Although the old coach K behaved very kindly, everyone knew that this was because he had enough confidence in the American team.

It is precisely because the United States is strong enough that it has such strong self-confidence and puts such great pressure on others.

If it is a country that cannot even enter the Olympics, no matter how strong the coach is, he will not give people such suffocating pressure.

"We have to fight hard." An Ran waved his fist and thought to himself.
