I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the 2014 NBA Finals, after the Spurs defeated the Bucks to win the championship, Pop began to lick the Bucks' head coach Xiaodu like crazy.

But all he got in exchange was a blank look from Xiao Du.

"I don't have time to think about the World Cup now. Of course I am willing to play for the national team, but if it is Pop, I hope he can fulfill his promise. This is a hundred times more important than him praising me."

As for the grudge between the Spurs and Bucks in this year's finals, if Bobo thinks that licking it like this can smooth out Xiao Du's heart, then he is really overthinking it.

I haven't seen how excited Bucks fans are now after Pop announced that he will not resign from the Spurs.

Although it is fun for Spurs fans to tease you like this, for Bucks fans.

My Mr. Lei retired as soon as he said he would retire. He even gave up chasing the NBA championship for almost 20 years.

I am just teasing you when you say I am teasing you, this is too stupid!

Let's put it this way, if any Bucks player dares to go to this year's World Cup, they will be going against their own team, their own fans, and their own former boss Ray Allen.

In this limelight, Bobo realized after licking for a while that he was indeed doing useless work.

However, Bobo is quite confident now.

Although Durant, one of the strongest in FIBA, will be much more stable, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

Now that Yao Ming and Chen Xiao have retired from the Chinese team, the American team will definitely be invincible under his leadership.

Therefore, Bobo's attitude now is that it is better to have Adu, and it doesn't matter without him.

Therefore, if he really wants to waste the favor, he can ask Durant's teacher Jordan to invite Durant. Even if Xiao Du doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do.

After all, Pop is the head coach of the US team, but the assistant coach is his teacher Jordan.

However, Bobo obviously wouldn't do this.

What’s interesting is that in history, after Bobo led the US team to be taught a lesson in international competitions, a reporter asked him before the Tokyo Olympics.

What would you do if Durant, like James, is unwilling to return to the national team?

Bobo answered sincerely: "I will cry and beg him."

After Bobo finished speaking, all the reporters below laughed, thinking that Bobo was showing off his old humor again.

But at that time, Bobo might have been serious. If Durant didn't want to, he might really cry for Durant to come back.

After all, in history, the US team has lost five warm-up matches and official matches in just a few years.

Historically, the U.S. team has lost those five times since 2008.

At that time, Pop led the US team and became a joke not only among fans in China, but also in the United States.

With Bobo's strong character, would he tolerate being such a loser?

However, he was indeed convinced by FIBA. The so-called stars of the US team, under his system, simply could not beat those strong FIBA ​​teams.

Pop was really desperate at the time. He was playing team tactics, and there were a bunch of tactician masters in FIBA, which were completely different from the group of business coaches in the NBA.

The team can't play, and playing superstars, at a glance, makes people even more desperate.

Those stars who rely on whistles to kill everyone in the NBA do not have the absolute strength to ignore the rules. When it comes to FIBA, they cannot even do it as an NBA role player.

Finally, looking left and right, it seems that the only option is to rely on nuclear weapons.

I have to say that Bobo's vision is still very good.

In the Tokyo Olympics, without Durant, Popovich and the star players of the US team would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame.

At that time, even the Chinese fans of the American team couldn't stand it. The tactics of the American team at that time were: at the critical moment, Qiuqiu looked for Durant to hit hard, and everyone else was obedient. After Durant relieved the difficulty, everyone else hit hard. Attacking, Durant couldn't even touch the ball.

This tactic of the US team not only shows that except for Durant, the rest of the US team is inferior, but also shows that Popovich has given up on his own tactical system.

There is no system and there is no requirement for a team of players. Of course, you can play however you want.

Otherwise, with Bobo's character, how could he withstand such random beatings when he really wanted to use the tactical system? Parker and Ginobili are role models.

Bobo was completely taught a lesson and completely lost confidence in his own tactical system, and he was already broken.

A head coach who no longer has confidence in his own tactical system and has failed to make mistakes, leads a group of so-called NBA stars who can only abuse others in garbage time and only dare to attack at critical moments.

Just such a team faces the wolf-like FIBA ​​teams in the Olympics.

Let's put it this way, without Durant, Pop and this American team may be worse than the American team led by Pierce in history.

It can be said that in the history of the Tokyo Olympics, Durant saved the reputation of a group of people on the US team.

Of course, in this time and space, Popo, who has not been taught a lesson by FIBA, is still very confident.

At the same time, many NBA players are also looking forward to it. After all, Yao Ming and Chen Xiao have retired, and they will lead the US team to win the world championship again in 12 years. This still makes many NBA star players willing to play for the US team.

Of course, there won't be too many stars of this level like Durant, Kobe, James, Wade, and Rose.

In fact, the three captains of the U.S. team this time are the three star players of the Spurs, Ron Howard, Duncan, and Maizi.

In addition, the Spurs players on the U.S. team include Al Jefferson and Kawhi Leonard. The Spurs suddenly selected five players for the U.S. team.

However, the selection of these five people is not controversial. Maizi, Luo Ge, and Duncan played for the United States team in the World Cup, which is a high achievement for the United States team.

Players at this level like Maizi, Luo Ge and Duncan simply disdain the World Championships or World Cup.

As for Al Jefferson and Leonard, they are also players who have proven themselves to be stars in the NBA in these two seasons.

In addition to these few, the other seven players are Rajon Rondo of the Timberwolves, David Lee, Lopez of the Warriors, James Harden of the Wizards, Westbrook of the New York Knicks, and DeAndre of the Magic. Lie Jordan, DeAndre Jordan of the Jazz.

This lineup actually looks okay, except for the five direct descendants of the Spurs and assistant coach Jordan's son DeAndre Jordan.

Others are also star players with different characteristics in the NBA, and they are also candidates that meet Popovich's tactical requirements.

Of course, compared with the Olympic Games, the star flavor is indeed much less.

But this is the World Cup after all, and it is definitely incomparable with the Olympics.

But in fact, compared with the US team's roster in previous world championships, the US team's lineup this time is definitely full of stars.

Duncan is a four-time NBA champion and the number one power forward in NBA history. Maizi is a three-time NBA champion and one of the strongest swingmen in NBA history. Luo Ge is a two-time FMVP and a legitimate contender for the top ten players in history.

Three historical stars, accompanied by a bunch of elite players, this is much better than the group of "crooked melons and cracked dates" that Bobo brought with him in 2019.

Of course, the strength of the FIBA ​​team in this time and space is also much stronger than in history.

Over in the United States, American fans are watching the excitement between Popovich and Bucks players of the American team.

I am also watching the excitement of the US team in this World Cup.

After all, just after the Spurs won the championship, the Spurs team members became popular.

Now, Pop is taking five Spurs players to the World Cup. Isn't this just dancing in the spotlight?

On the Chinese side, the focus is actually on the upcoming first World Cup in China.

This World Cup will be held in Yanshi, Chen Xiao’s hometown, from August 30 to September 14, lasting for half a month.

And now there are still more than 2 months until the start of the World Cup.

Time seems to be plenty.

In fact, there is not that much time.

Because the head coach of the Chinese team, Chen Xiao will train 100 players selected from the CBA, Chen Xiao Basketball School and the American NCAA in rotation before the start of the World Cup. Thus, 12 players will be selected from these players to represent the Chinese team in the World Cup.

In fact, this kind of training rotation was conducted when Chen Xiao led the team to the Asian Championships last year.

Training rotations are actually Chen Xiao's efforts to help the players of the Chinese team to improve their strength.

Chen Xiao's system is very good at improving players' strength.

As long as you have enough potential and a high golf quotient, you won't have to worry about making progress with Chen Xiao's countless experience cards.

Luo Ge, the newly promoted two-team FMVP, has his long legs and long feet combined with Chen Xiao’s experience card. He has gone from a black player with ordinary athletic talent to a historical super giant. .

After the finals, in ESPN's latest NBA historical status rankings, except for Chen Xiao, who ranked first, the tenth-ranked player is no longer Olajuwon, who had been the tenth goalkeeper before. Became Ron Howard.

In this list from ESPN.

Chen Xiao ranked first.

Jordan is second.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar third.

Magician is fourth.

O'Neal fifth (5 championships).

Chamberlain sixth.

Larry Bird seventh.

Duncan is eighth.

Russell is ninth.

Ron Howard ranked 10th (1 MVP, 2 FMVP, 9 first team, 10 first defense, 11 All-Stars, 3 Best Defensive Players).

According to ESPN.

"There is no doubt that Dameng is the stronger player, but Ron Howard has won more honors. Their championship, MVP and FMVP are exactly the same, and they are even the championship of the series, but Ron Howard has one more The best defensive player, 3 more first team players, 5 more first defense players, both have a lot of steals and blocks, but it doesn't matter to the two, they are very close, but this time, more of people gave their votes to Ron Howard."

Although this is ESPN's opinion, ESPN has ranked Yao Ming and Wade tenth before.

But there is no doubt that being able to enter the discussion of entering the top ten and competing with Olajuwon, even if it is because of the incumbent advantage, is something to be proud of.

By the way, this time, because the popularity of Yao Ming's retirement has not diminished, Yao Ming ranked 11th in this ranking, surpassing Olajuwon again after two years.

In fact, Yao Ming's honors are very close to Olajuwon's. Yao Ming has 1 MVP, 2 FMVP, 10 teams, 12 All-Star starters, 1 best defensive player, more defense than Olajuwon, and one more championship.

In other words, in fact, Yao Ming's major and minor honors are higher than Olajuwon's, but the data accumulation is indeed not as good as Olajuwon's.

Therefore, every time during qualifying, the two of them are very close. In various media, either you beat me or I beat you.

Therefore, many NBA experts and fans now laugh and say that the top ten goalkeepers in NBA history have gone from one to three.

Ron Howard, Olajuwon, Yao Ming.

From a black player with average athletic talent, he made his way into the top ten in NBA history and became one of the top ten goalkeepers.

The biggest contribution is Chen Xiao’s pile of free experience cards.

Historically, without the help of these experience cards, Luo Ge would not have been able to develop himself so well.

From this we can also see the value of Chen Xiao's pile of experience cards.

It has an excellent effect on developing players' potential and abilities.

Therefore, since becoming the head coach of the Chinese team last year, Chen Xiao has asked the Chinese team to select players for training. The most important thing is football intelligence, followed by static talents with long hands and feet, dynamic talents that can run, jump, and shooting. feel.

Even athletic talent ranks last in the pecking order.

To be honest, players who can stand out from all places have enough athletic talent.

In this case, in FIBA's small courts, the importance of athletic talent is indeed the least.

After two years of selection, the Chinese team has also emerged with a very good player.

After all, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have made the Chinese team so popular, and there are so many domestic players.

With such a large population base, it is not difficult to find players with long arms and legs and high football intelligence.

Even if he is not as good as Luo Ge and not as long as Luo Ge, so what.

Luo Ge is the latest top ten player in history.

Wang Xiao does not require that the people he chooses are among the top ten in history.

As long as he can improve the strength of these players to C+ level or B level, he will be very satisfied.

Like Ding Yanyuhang, after a year of training in the NBA and then returning to the Chinese team to train with Chen Xiao for a month, Ding Yanyuhang successfully improved his strength from C+ to B-.

In this way, the Chinese team's B-level and above players include A Lian, Hua Tsai, Da Nephew, Zhu Fangyu, Ding Yanyuhang, Sun Yue, Zhou Peng, and seven players.

Except for Zhou Peng, all of them are NBA players. Zhou Peng's golf IQ is very high among Chinese players. He also learns well from Chen Xiao. He is also smart in playing hard and defensively.

At the same time, these seven people, except Ding Yan Yuhang, all started following Chen Xiao a long time ago.

By the way, Brother Wei will also retire from the national team in this World Cup.

This will be Brother Wei's last term. Brother Wei's current strength is still C+ and he has not fallen from the top, but the young man is rushing very hard and his position in the national team can be given up.

In addition to these seven B-level players and Brother Wei, the remaining four players on the Chinese team are Zhou Qi, Zhai Xiaochuan, Li Gen, and Wang Zhelin.

All young people, all old people from last year’s Asian Championships.

Among them, Zhou Qi, the young center who played all the way from Chen Xiao Basketball School, is his favorite.

His hands and feet are extremely long, his athletic ability is among the best among yellow insiders, his shooting touch is also excellent, and his golf IQ is also very good.

The only shortcoming is probably that his personality is a bit soft and his heart is not strong enough.

Not enough, such weaknesses can be tempered.

His favorite thing is to train weaklings into hungry wolves with the spirit of a wolf king!
