Healing Basketball

  Chapter 1005 1005. The Olympics at the Doorstep

  An incomprehensible voice came from the other end of the phone, but the tone should be one of surprise and cursing.

   The vice president didn't find it strange to react. When the bold coach raised this matter, both he and the boss scolded him.

  The vice president explained: "I have discussed with the boss and coaches for two days, and I feel that we need more professional people to help us in this matter, so as to have higher feasibility."

Liu Xiu, who was shocked by the team's inhuman operation, came back to his senses and replied: "It's no problem, he has sufficient experience in fast break and has the best three-point shooting tactics. He will definitely bring us a lot Big help, I support this thing."

   "However, let D'Antoni serve as a consultant for us. We have to bear the risk of leaking the tactical concept. He will definitely become the head coach of another team in the future. This tactical concept was proposed by you and needs your approval."

  Liu Xiu asked: "How is his reputation in the coaching circle?"

"He is a very good person. During the 2000-01 season, he worked as an assistant coach for our team. He worked very hard and seriously, and he also had an excellent ability to discover role players. In 1999, he served as a scout for the Spurs and helped The Spurs drafted Ginobili, and it was his suggestion that we draft Zach instead of Brandon Haywood..."

  Liu Xiu listened to the vice president talking about D'Antoni's work experience in recent years, and understood.

   This is to show him how much the team values ​​him...

   Or to persuade him to accept the invitation to D'Antoni to join, not to ask for his opinion.

   Liu Xiu was quite moved, and said: "He is so good, you can just make a decision, come and ask me, it's really a fart with your pants off."

   "Take off your pants and fart?"

   "A superfluous and unnecessary act."

   "Beep beep beep..."

  The vice president hung up the phone, but after receiving the reminder to heal the other party, Liu Xiu felt better.

  D'Antoni joins, and his financial ability is awesome!

   As for whether he will be stolen by D'Antoni?

  It doesn't matter, as long as it is typed out and successful, someone will definitely imitate it.

   But first you have to succeed!

  What they have to do now is to increase the probability of success of the new system and shorten the time to build a new system.

Originally, he wanted to suggest that the team invite Mark Jackson, who ranks second in NBA history in assists, to join him. The famous defensive system can help the coach, and the two-gun tactic is also very good... If there is already a double-grab tactic Consciousness, that is naturally better, if not, he and Ray Allen are there, it can always give this famous star a little inspiration.

  In the past few seasons, Mark Jackson has been interviewing for coaching positions everywhere, but has not been admitted.

   There have been news reports that the teams he interviewed thought his ideas were absurd and unrealistic.

  Now with D'Antoni...so the coaching staff has to add two people.

   More people, more insurance, anyway, big dogs have money...

  He sent an email to the vice president who was cured, suggesting that he dig Mark Jackson, who is working as a trainer for the Pistons.

  …

  Liu Xiu went to the hotel to pick up Yao Ming, and then went to the Blue Association to report together.

  During the previous phone call, Liu Xiu learned that Yao Ming did not report back to the national team immediately after finishing his work at the club.

  First of all, he has to rest. He has just played more than 100 games, and he also has endorsement activities to do, which are more intensive than Liu Xiu. From returning to China on the 25th to the 8th, he has been running all over the country.

   But looking at Yao Ming's mental outlook, Liu Xiu is not worried about the state of the strongest partner in the national team.

  Reporting is a process, but it is necessary to go through this process. After completing the physical examination and taking the inch-by-inch photos, under the leadership of the Chinese men's basketball team leader, Li Yuanwei, the director of the Blue Management Center, went to the BJ Olympic Village.

  Li Yuanwei introduced the training camp all the way: "Our training camp has reached the final stage, and the next step is to screen the roster of 12 people. You must be fine. You two are the best inside and outside players in the world.

  As the host, we naturally have an advantage. Next, we will move into the Olympic Village in advance, and the training venues are the venues for this Olympic men’s basketball competition. We can train and prepare for the game while adapting to the competition venue...

  Look, we have already arrived at the main venue, that’s the one, doesn’t it look like a bird’s nest from a distance? Being able to see the Bird's Nest so close means that we are now only two kilometers away from the Olympic Park where the Olympic Village is located..."

  During the introduction of the team leader, the car drove to the Olympic Village. Liu Xiu looked it over. It was very different from the Olympic Village of the Athens Olympics. The normal houses looked like a large community.

  He looked around, but he didn't see people from other countries. There were people coming in and out, all of them were Chinese.

The team leader said: "The Olympic Village has 3 areas. This is the residential area. The largest area can accommodate up to 40,000 people. All people in our country live here. The location is the best, and it is easy to get in and out. Over there , the most middle position is the commercial activity area, there are many leisure and entertainment facilities, you young people like karaoke, right? I heard that the karaoke audio equipment over there is very good..."

  Yao Ming hurriedly said: "No! We don't like singing!"

   "?" The team leader was surprised, he had the impression that Dayao was very calm, and they actually went to karaoke together... What's wrong?

  Leave this aside, continue to introduce: "There are two other areas are the operation area and the logistics support area. Players are not allowed to enter without reason, but don't worry, there are security guards at every entrance and exit there.

  At present, the residential area is only used by domestic athletes, and it has not been officially opened for use. I remember that it started accepting occupancy on the 26th, so there must be some imperfections. If there is anything, just come to me, the team leader. "

   "No! I am already very satisfied. Although it looks simple here, it is simple and generous. It is much better than the Athens Olympic Games. When we went there, we lived in containers..."

  Liu Xiu recalled the Olympic Games, and looking at this place, it was as beautiful as heaven.

  The team leader smiled and said: "Of course, we are a country of etiquette..."

  Yao Ming saw Liu Xiu chatting with the team leader, and felt that the world is really wonderful.

  Thinking that the relationship between the team leader and Liu Xiu was so stiff back then, it almost broke my face.

   Now they are talking and laughing.

   One thing to say, Yao Ming thinks that Liu Xiu's familiar character is really powerful, and he can chat with anyone.

   That’s right, after getting to know each other well, that mouth is really annoying.

   No, when we arrived at the apartment building where the men’s basketball team lived, the first thing Liu Xiu said after meeting Wang Zhizhi was, “Wow, the NBA champion and the runner-up met again. Come on, let’s take a photo with the three of us!”

  Yao Ming saw Wang Zhizhi's veins popping up all of a sudden.

   Liu Xiu and Yao Ming were the last members of the training team to return to the team. When they returned to the team, the other 18 players in the training team came to welcome them.

  Wang Zhizhi returned to the national team only a few days ago. He also played in the finals, but he was not as busy as Yao Ming after the finals.

  Liu Xiu greeted the coaches and teammates of the training team. Most of them were acquaintances. All 11 teammates from the last World Championships were selected for the training team.

There are no major changes in the coaching staff. The double head coaches are Silver Fox and Jonas; the physical coach is El Avedas who once served as the physical coach of the Dream Team; the assistant coaches are Guo Shiqiang, Donnie Nelson, etc. Man, Nelson is the son of a mad scientist.

  Everyone is acquaintances, and the time-wasting stage of greetings is eliminated. After lunch in the Olympic Village, they go directly to work in the afternoon to conduct technical tests.

  Compared to the past two World Series, Liu Xiu feels that everyone from the coach to the trainer is more serious this time.

  The Olympic Games at our doorstep, everyone wants to do something big!

  …

  The morning after the report, Liu Xiu's personal trainer came to the national team to take office.

   This trainer was borrowed by Liu Xiu from the Trail Blazers. Of course, he had to pay the salary. He planned to pay it himself, but the blue management center paid the money.

  This trainer did not come to guide Liu Xiu in training, but purely as a training partner. The reason why Liu Xiu chose him was because this trainer has a nutritionist license from the European Union.

  Different from previous World Series... To be precise, the Chinese Olympic Team has its own internal rules for this Olympic Games, one of which is the control of daily urine tests and meals.

  The Olympics at your doorstep, don't make any scandals.

  The Olympic Games is a grand event for the country to let the whole world see the newest appearance of New China.

   There are policies and there are countermeasures. You can find a professional nutritionist to make special meals. The meals in the cafeteria are uniform and may not be suitable for every athlete.

  Of course, the food made by the nutritionist is occasionally inspected by the Chinese Olympic team, and the athletes also have regular physical examinations and irregular random inspections.

   This Liu Xiu is not afraid. His 'nutritious food' is just delicious food, fresh ingredients, and high nutritional value, but he eats it, and the system will give special effects, so he is not afraid of inspection at all.

Compared with the last World Championships, the final 12-man roster should not change much. The tactics have been adjusted, but the overall framework has not changed much... The team training arranged by the coaching staff is not large, and the training arranged for the players is mostly personal skills and basic skills training.

  The training arranged by the coaching staff was very simple for Liu Xiu. After he completed these trainings, he began the training tasks of 'inside press' and 'advanced strength +1'.

  The training intensity scared the teammates and coaches watching.

  Yinhu went to Liu Xiu's personal trainer and asked if it was too hard. The trainer said that Liu Xiu had this kind of training once or twice a year, and he had no problem, and he coped with it.

  His job, besides being a 'nutritionist', is to deal with these worries.

   Liu Xiu originally planned to practice the task of "inside pressure" first, but he didn't play for two months, and devoted all his physical strength to the simulated training... His weight broke through 100 again, and his body shape gradually became passer-by again.

  If you have time to reduce your weight and body fat percentage, you must work harder.

  For him, the coaches and teammates of the national team don't think there is anything wrong. The NBA player they pay most attention to is Liu Xiu, and they have long been used to it.

  But some people from the Blue Association and Blue Tube Center have gossiped again, saying that he is not self-disciplined, not that kind of accusation or dissatisfaction.

   Instead, the tone was optimistic, as if he was expecting him to perform badly in the Olympics, and he said it in front of the staff, coaches, and trainers.

  Liu Xiu herself heard about this from a familiar trainer, and she was not angry.

  He can understand the indignation of people who are not familiar with him after seeing his weight gain and body fat rate increase.

   But he didn't understand why the people in the Blue Association and the Blue Management Center didn't seem to want to see the national team do well.

   In the first two World Series, he did not encounter such a situation.

  One night, Liu Xiu mentioned this while chatting with her three apprentices.

Zhu Fangyu analyzed: "Master, I think it may be because the Blue Association and the Blue Management Center have both reached the time for a new term. The head of the Blue Association has changed from Zhang Faqiang to Yu Zaiqing, and Li Yuanwei is coming to the end of his term this year. I believe Lancheng has the most May become the next blue tube center director.

The players in our class belong to the leaders of the previous generation. Although the new leaders have not taken office yet, many people have already started to lick them. They don’t want us to achieve good results, lest the new leaders take the stage. Later, his grades were not as good as in previous years, and he was said to be not as good as his predecessors.

  But master, you don’t have to worry, they dare to gossip behind your back, when something happens, they are worse than a dog, the dog dares to bark twice, they wish their heads were sitting on the bench..."

  …

   After Bajie solved the master's confusion, the latter began to devote himself to training.

  One week later, on the 18th, a rest day, today the training team eliminated 8 players, and the coaching staff selected a roster of 12 players.

   Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, all three big shots were selected.

  Liu Xiu's three apprentices: Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, and Yi Jianlian were all selected.

   Liu Wei, Li Nan, Sun Yue, and Wang Shipeng were also selected.

  But Mo Ke and Zhang Songtao lost the election, and they were replaced by Chen Jianghua from the Guangdong Gang and Wang Lei from the Bayi Team.

The former is fast, young, and only 19 years old; the latter was once a high-profile talented forward, but was injured in the 2004 CBA regular season, the cruciate ligament was ruptured, and his athletic ability suffered a fatal blow. .

  In this training competition, Mo Ke and Zhang Songtao lost to Wang Lei, who had better skills and developed all three points in the 2007-08 season.

  Although she was a bit reluctant, Liu Xiu didn't think there was any problem with the selection of the coaching staff.

  They want to win the game, not the friendship first. Naturally, they have to choose the one with better strength and condition. Even if it is the two players on the edge of the bench, they have to choose the better one.

   What amuses him are people who gossip.

  After a week of devil training, his body fat percentage dropped visible to the naked eye.

  The most important thing is his competitive state. His weight has not affected his shooting and skills. The coaching staff and his old teammates from two years ago can clearly feel that Liu Xiu is stronger than before.

  Wang Zhizhi, who had just played a series with Liu Xiu more than two months ago, felt his scalp tingling.

  The warden has made very obvious progress!

   At this time, those gossiping people are still gossiping, saying that he relies on talent, God is not fair, other people work so hard, it is not as good as he just practiced casually.

   Knowing that these people can only be sour, Liu Xiu is very happy, and the training is even more vigorous.
