Basketball glory

On February 5, 2016, a few months passed by in a flash. When the Shandong team defeated the Bayi team with a score of 100-95 in an away game, all games in the regular season of this season were over.

The Shandong team successfully entered the playoffs with a record of 28 wins and 10 losses, including a 9-game winning streak. Although no one believed that Shandong could become the final team to reach the finals, no one dared to underestimate the Shandong team. After all,

The starting lineup of the two foreign players plus An Ran and Ding Yanyuhang is no worse than any team.

The only lineup problem is that the inside line and substitute lineup are not strong enough, which is why other teams are not optimistic about them.

Although he averaged 23+ points per game, Anwen was still not selected as an All-Star in his first season. He was sad about this for a while and was unwilling to break his promise.

But An Ran didn't have any ideas. It was just that he wasn't selected, and it wasn't a big deal.

Although he did not enter the All-Stars, everyone in the league recognized Anron's strength. Especially after Yao Ming's guidance, Enron's finishing ability at the basket became even stronger. The only regret is that his shooting ability has never been proven in high-intensity games.

Own.

Back in Jinan, the team has had ten days to rest and will take the lead in facing the Guangdong team at home on February 15th.

This season, Guangdong and Shandong both had 28 wins and 10 losses in the regular season, and the two teams ranked fifth and sixth. It can be said that the difference in strength between the two teams is not big. However, in comparison, most people are still more optimistic about the Guangdong team.

After all, they are a veteran league team, and the Shandong team was still the last team to catch the playoffs last season. It only managed to reach sixth place because of the reinforcement of Enron. The playoff experience will be much worse.

On the first day of vacation, the team gathered together. The playoff roster will be announced today, and the team will conduct special training to prepare for the first round of the playoffs ten days later.

Caesar stood in the Shandong Expressway Arena. There were nearly 20 players standing opposite him. This was the core strength of the Shandong team. Whether they were starters, substitutes or permanent benches, they all stood together honestly, waiting for Caesar.

Below.

Neither the team's assistant coach nor the team leader came over. There were only about 20 people in the huge stadium, which seemed particularly deserted. But the atmosphere was not deserted at all, because after the regular season, the team had achieved good results, and the boss would definitely say something about it.

of.

"First of all! Congratulations to us for winning the sixth place in the regular season! Everyone applauds!" Caesar said with a smile. Although he is very strict and serious on the court, he still has a good relationship with everyone off the court.

In particular, his rich tactical literacy has conquered every player. No matter who he is, he has become accustomed to being an executor at the last moment, doing his own thing according to Caesar's instructions step by step. And every time,

Unexpected effects can occur.

"Also, the boss encouraged us and gave us two million to encourage us to achieve excellent results in the regular season!" After Caesar finished speaking, everyone cheered.

Although these two million are awarded to coaches, assistant coaches and players, who wouldn't like it if they had money? And the greater significance of the boss's doing this is to affirm everyone's performance this season, so in an instant, the players were excited.

Caesar watched their fuss quietly and could understand their feelings. After all, after a hard season, it is better to be affirmed than to be criticized.

"But don't be proud, everyone. A good ending to the regular season is just the beginning, but the most critical test is coming!" Caesar smiled and nodded, very satisfied with the players he led.

Tao Hanlin was the first to express his stance. He raised his hands with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of beating Guangdong! I'll play well, and I can guard Yi Jianlian!" After saying that, he flexed his muscles and stared at Caesar with a fighting spirit.

Being stared at by his scorching eyes, Caesar quickly changed the subject and said: "I believe you, I believe you, but if we want to win, we still need to cooperate. In the next ten days, we will focus on practicing two sets of tactics. 1.

One set is Beasley's low pick-and-roll, and then he runs the baseline for a three-pointer. The other set is Jeter and Ding's breakup, and then another breakup."

Caesar briefly introduced the next task, but An Ran heard something different.

Why is there no one? Has his tactical status been lowered? An Ran frowned, a little confused, but patiently listened to Caesar's words.

The other team members didn't say anything and just listened quietly to Caesar's speech. Everyone knew that everything the coach said now determined the tone from training to playoff games, and no one dared to be careless.

"But unfortunately, I have to announce something. There is no way for An Ran to enter the big list. Our tentative list is..., I will confirm the final list after the training is over."

Hearing Caesar's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, especially An Ran. He didn't listen to anything he said after that. His mind was full of thinking about why he was not included in the big list?

Is it because I'm not good enough? Is my style of play not suitable for the team? Or is it because of other reasons?

An Ran's mind was like mush, and she didn't know why she was excluded. If she hadn't joined, how could she have made such rapid progress this season?

An Ran couldn't figure out why he couldn't make the big list.

For a moment, An Ran could only see Caesar's mouth opening and closing, but had no idea what he said. The news swept through An Ran's mind like a thunderstorm.

Not only An Ran was also shocked, the entire team was stunned by Caesar's words. Except for a few people, everyone else stared at An Ran in shock. After reacting, they looked at Caesar with a suspicious look.

, seems not to believe the authenticity of this news.

Seeing their looks, Caesar also smiled bitterly. It's not something I can decide, so don't blame me. Caesar thought with a guilty conscience. He also knew that if Anron couldn't play, the team's strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

Caesar was a little at a loss and was afraid that the players would not accept his explanation, but after all, this was a management matter and he had no way to interfere. Caesar felt that he had never been so useless. As a head coach, he could not even control his own team.

"Coach, can you tell me why? Why was An Ran excluded from the roster?" Tao Hanlin asked with some confusion.

Anyone could see that he was suppressing his anger, as if he would explode if he was not satisfied with Caesar's explanation.

As the best friend in the Enron team, they all understood Tao Hanlin's performance. After all, no one expected such an arrangement.

Wu Ke took a step forward and put his hand on Tao Hanlin's shoulder, signaling him not to be so excited.

Tao Hanlin, on the other hand, didn't care about those who were staring at Caesar, and seemed to be determined to get an answer before he would give up.

Caesar thought for a while and said cryptically: "This is for the future of the team, so we can only give up now." Then he added, "I believe Enron will definitely succeed, even if it is not on the Shandong team."

Caesar began to curse in his heart. It was really uncomfortable for such a bad person to have to do it by himself. It was obviously the management's fault, but he still took the blame.

However, he still couldn't tell the truth. In order to ensure the harmony of the team, Caesar could not instigate the relationship between his teammates. Although everyone in the team knew that An Ran and Jeter were not getting along, the two never responded directly.

"Sorry, I can't accept it!" Tao Hanlin was obviously dissatisfied when he heard this explanation. He was trembling with anger and immediately turned around to leave.

Wu Ke saw this scene and hurriedly grabbed him, thinking not to add fuel to the fire at this time. How could he lose his temper with the head coach? Wu Ke used all his strength to hold Tao Hanlin back.

Tao Hanlin turned his head, stared at Wu Ke with bloodshot eyes, and then said angrily: "If he doesn't come, I won't come either." After that, he pushed Wu Ke staggeringly with a wave of his hand, and ran away in a few steps.

Go out, regardless of other people's reactions. Tao Hanlin's behavior made Caesar tremble with anger, but he was unable to defend himself and could only let him run out of the venue.

Because of the suddenness of the news, the team's training camp also ended in vain. It took An Ran a long time to react and slowly accept that he was abandoned in the team's future plans.

In fact, from the beginning, when I chose to sign a one-year contract, I expected this kind of thing to happen. I originally wanted to leave, and there was nothing wrong with being given up by the team management.

Thinking of this, An Ran felt much better. She hurriedly chased him out, fearing that something might happen to Tao Hanlin. He defended himself so much, and An Ran suddenly felt warm in her heart. At least this season, her stay was not in vain.

Seeing Tao Hanlin squatting at the entrance of the arena, smoking a cigarette depressedly, An Ran felt that it was really a blessing to have made such a good friend.

Squatting down next to him, An Ran quickly comforted him: "I didn't even react at all, but you were anxious first."

"It's so bullying. How could it be like this?" Tao Hanlin said gloomily.

An Ran patted him and told him not to get excited. He also took out a cigarette and smoked it with him.

Since coming out of prison, An Ran has actually opened up about a lot of things and has almost given up smoking, but today for some reason she really wants to smoke.

"It's nothing, it's normal. After all, this is also a business place. Jet can bring them a better future. I think there is nothing wrong with it from their perspective."

"But what about from your perspective? If you are not on the roster, what will you do next?" Tao Hanlin asked worriedly.

In fact, judging from An Ran's performance, Tao Hanlin knew that he had adjusted. He had to say that An Ran's mentality was really too strong. However, Tao Hanlin still felt very worried about his brother's future.

"It's okay. I think people will want me wherever I go. I average 20+ per game. Even if I can't play in the NBA, other teams in the CBA will be fine." An Ran smiled and touched his head, feeling that he was really innocent and cute sometimes.

.

The two were chatting happily without noticing a figure walking in.

"Anron, are you willing to contribute to the country?"

One sentence attracted the attention of two people. An Ran and Tao Hanlin looked up and saw that it was Wu Aiguo who had disappeared for a long time.

That limping but extremely strong look left a deep impression on people.

"Are you willing to contribute to the country?" Wu Aiguo asked again firmly.
