I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 790 Popovich doubts life!

In this time and space, it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to be a player in the Chinese men's basketball team.

Every summer, there are special trainings by Chen Xiao, the number one star in the NBA and the number one star in basketball history. Every summer, there are supervisions by Chairman Yao Ming and Yao Ming, the number one center in FIBA ​​history and one of the top five centers in NBA history.

And from time to time, Wade, Ron Howard, James, and even Jordan will often appear in the training camp.

In the Chinese men's basketball team in this time and space, as long as you are willing to work hard, you are not afraid that there is no room for improvement.

Even if your potential is not enough, as long as you work hard, you can easily reach the upper limit of your potential. If you also have a very good football intelligence, then congratulations, you are very likely to be able to play like Ron Howard and Leonard. Break the limits of your potential.

Of course, the premise is that you have to work hard enough and be ambitious enough.

But you can rest assured that after Chen Xiao becomes the head coach and Yao Ming becomes the chairman, the most important thing when selecting players for the Chinese men's basketball team is character and character, followed by golf intelligence, static talent, and then athletic ability and technical ability.

Therefore, there is no such thing as dawdling in the current Chinese team.

In fact, there is really no need to worry about this aspect. Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are in the national team, who dares to mess around?

Therefore, although the current Chinese men's basketball team has fallen from its peak after the retirement of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

A well-deserved world-class team.

In the World Cup two years ago, the Chinese team also finished third on home soil. Although there was an element of luck, finishing in the top three in the World Cup did not rely solely on luck.

Therefore, many people were worried that the Chinese men's basketball team would collapse after Chen Xiao and Yao Ming retired, but it did not happen in the end.

Now the Chinese men's basketball team has reliable veterans and outstanding Mesozoic players, and the younger generation is also worth looking forward to.

In short, the Chinese men's basketball team still looks promising.

Although it is not as big as when Chen Xiao and Yao Ming led the team, they can still maintain luxury.

This time for the Rio Olympics in Brazil, the Chinese men's basketball team's 12-man roster is still led by UAE.

There are three veterans, Ah Lian, Sun Yue and Chen Jianghua.

The eldest nephew, Zhou Peng and Li Gen are three Mesozoic players.

Coupled with Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Qi, Zhai Xiaochuan, Zhao Jiwei, Wang Zhelin, Gao Bo

The youngest among them, Gao Bo, was born in 1999 and is not yet 18 years old.

The other 11 players are all familiar faces, and only Gao Bo is a new face. In fact, Gao Bo is indeed a special one in the Chinese team.

It can be said that he is the first player produced by the Chinese men's basketball team in recent years who looks like he can become Yao Ming's successor.

At the age of 17, he is already 2.16 meters tall, and has a long wingspan of 2.30 meters. His shooting touch is also quite soft, his frame and hips are also good, his athletic ability is also very good, and the most important thing is the ball. Business is not low either.

In recent years, hasn't the Chinese men's basketball team been looking for young people with tall stature, excellent wingspan, and high basketball intelligence?

I found a lot. After all, China is so big and the most indispensable thing is people, and Chinese basketball is so popular.

As long as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team comes to a home and says that your child is a special genius, basically no parent will refuse.

And Gao Bo is the most outstanding one among this group of people.

Gao Bo was found five years ago. At that time, when he was 12 years old, he had not even come into contact with basketball. He only went to the basketball court to play with his parents and relatives.

I usually just watch the NBA and watch Chen Xiao's games. He is just an amateur player.

In the past five years, he has made great progress, step by step.

Chen Xiao sees his progress every summer when he sees him.

And in Chen Xiao Basketball School, his performance is also very outstanding. If Doncic has always been the No. 1 player in Chen Xiao Basketball School, after Doncic left Chen Xiao Basketball School to go to Real Madrid, Gao Bo became Chen Xiao Basketball School The No.1.

Neither he nor Doncic are players with extremely outstanding athletic ability, and even their athletic ability can only be considered okay (compared to NBA players), but they both have shining points that are difficult to ignore.

In fact, during the 2014 World Cup, Chen Xiao wanted to take him to experience the atmosphere.

But he was really too young at that time, not yet 16 years old.

To be honest, Chen Xiao still treasures him and doesn't want anything to happen to him.

To be honest, even if China has a population of 1.4 billion, it is not easy to produce such a genius.

Chen Xiao is not sure whether the group of young people they selected with long hands, long legs and high football intelligence will be able to grow much in the future, but Gao Bo, Chen Xiao hopes that he can grow up smoothly.

He even hopes that the two talents from Chen Xiao Basketball School can go to the NBA.

Of course, although Jokic and Gao Bo are both under 18 years old now, both of them are indeed attracting the attention of the NBA.

Their expectations were even higher than Zhou Qi's, much higher.

Even if the two of them go to the NBA to participate in the draft now, they will both be lottery picks.

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming both treasure Gao Bo, but they just need to keep such treasures in their hearts.

On the surface, whether it is Chen Xiao or Yao Ming, Gao Bo has absolutely high demands.

Gao Bo was abused from all aspects every day.

When Yao Ming usually comes to the team, he will challenge Gao Bo for a duel, and only Gao Bo is allowed to defend, not attack.

Although Yao Ming has gained weight now, he is very good at what he does. If he did not defend but only attacked, and only played training, Yao Ming might not be stronger now.

As for Chen Xiao, he and Gao Bo usually compete in duels every day. Of course, he certainly can't bully others like Yao Ming, and he can attack and defend.

After so many years, Gao Bo has never won a single round in a duel with Chen Xiao.

As a baby of the Chinese men's basketball team, growing up in such an environment is definitely humility and absolutely impossible to be arrogant.

"I have never been a genius, and my strength is not that strong. I have never even defeated the teacher in a single round."

When an American reporter interviewed Gao Bo and asked him about his expectations for his future and the NBA, his modesty simply shocked the American reporter.

After all, if you want to participate in the draft in the future, you have to hype yourself up.

However, he really had no such idea at all.

Therefore, many American reporters say that God has trained the next Yao Ming for the Chinese team.

Well, Yao Ming was so humble back then.

It's just obvious that Gao Bo's humility is different from Yao Ming's humility.

Yao Ming is humble but arrogant. He is very proud in his heart. Humility only represents the country.

And Gao Bo...

The country does not need him to represent it, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have already done so.

Gao Bo, he is so humble from the bottom of his heart!

Well, to put it simply, being abused by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming from childhood to adulthood has smoothed all the edges and corners.

He is not arrogant in victory but not discouraged in defeat. This is what he said.

So what if someone praises you? Not the teacher's enemy.

So what if you get stepped on? It could be worse than being beaten by the teacher.

Well, not everyone can develop such a character in such a growing environment.

Therefore, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming cherish him very much.

There are really few treasures like this with such a good personality, high basketball IQ, and top-notch basketball talent.

Therefore, in this Olympic Games, the Chinese team does not have any performance requirements. If there is any requirement, it is to let Gao Bo feel the strength of strong players from all over the world in the competition.

This Olympics will be his first time as a younger brother, and also his last time as a younger brother.

After this Olympics, the UAE will hand over the position of team leader.

The UAE may also participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but as he will be 36 years old by then, he will definitely not be able to continue to be the leader of the team.

At that time, Gao Bo will be the leader of the team.

Then, the Chinese men's basketball team once again completed its legacy.

After Gao Bo took over the banner of Chinese basketball, Chinese basketball has entered the next era.

Yes, in this era, Chinese basketball is not yet a new era.

Because whether it is Ding Yanyuhang, Zhao Jiwei or Zhou Qi, although Chen Xiao was very involved in their growth, they were not players selected based on the basketball concepts of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

In fact, they still use the old standards of Chinese basketball in the past.

As for the generation after Gao Bo, they are the real talents selected using the new standards set by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming for Chinese basketball selection.

Tall, long, and smart!

If Chinese basketball cannot produce talented players like Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in the future, then how can it compete with the American team and the world's top players?

This is the path chosen by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

Just like when Chinese basketball chose Xiao Kuailing.

At that time, Chinese basketball could only play small Kuailing. Who didn't know that the higher the basketball, the better. So after Yao Ming came out, he decisively gave up the small Kuailing.

Now, Chinese basketball is qualified to play high, long and smart.

After batches of Chinese basketball players of the new era grow up, it will be time for Chinese basketball to reach the top of the world without relying on superstars like Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

And Gao Bo, or in this Olympics, is the new generation of Chinese basketball's Xiaohe, who has shown his sharpness.

Although it was only Xiao He who revealed the sharp horn, it was still quite sharp.

In this Olympics, the United States and Serbia are the biggest favorites, and the Serbian team is the defending World Cup champion.

The U.S. team led by Popovich is the strongest team. Although the U.S. team did not even reach the semi-finals in the World Cup two years ago, no matter how poorly the U.S. team played, they were still the favorites. .

The Chinese team ranked third behind Serbia and the United States.

In this Olympic group stage, the Chinese team is in Group A with the United States, France, Venezuela, Australia, and Lithuania.

Throughout the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team only lost to the United States team 89-96 in the first game.

In addition, the Chinese team won all the remaining four games.

In the end, the Chinese team entered the knockout rounds as the first in the group.

Well, since the Chinese team lost to the American team, why is it said that the Chinese team entered the knockout round with the first place in the group stage?

Because although the American team defeated the Chinese team in the group stage, they lost to the French team 76-83 and the Australian team 83-91 in the subsequent games!

Yes, Team USA has lost two games in a row!

In the group stage, the United States lost two games in a row, which was the first time in history.

In this Olympics, the Bucks stars of the US team are still absent. Durant and Curry, Dream Green, Iguodala and other Bucks stars still refuse to be recruited by Popovich. It seems that Popovich If they don't announce their retirement from the Spurs, they will definitely not participate in Popovich's US team.

Then the U.S. team led by Leonard, Howard and others lost their masters as soon as they came on.

In the group stage, they actually ranked fourth behind the Chinese team, the French team and the Australian team!

In the group stage, the Chinese team and the French team both had 4 wins and 1 loss, and the Australian and American teams both had 3 wins and 2 losses. The American team was fourth in the group!

After Popovich set the lower limit of the US team in the World Cup 2 years ago, he once again set the lower limit of the US team in this year's Olympics.

The U.S. team, which qualified fourth in the group, met the Serbian team, which ranked first in Group B, in the knockout rounds. The hatred between the country and the family, plus the internal attack, led to a hasty exit in the first round.

The American team originally wanted to win the Olympic championship this year after 16 years. However, unexpectedly, they were eliminated by Serbia in the quarterfinals.

Although the score of 88 to 93 was very fierce, and even at the end of the game, both teams performed a full-scale martial arts show. There was a conflict between Oden and Milicic and they started fighting directly.

In the end, Oden was punched down by Milicic. The battle for the NBA's No. 1 center was in the boxing ring, and Milicic defeated Oden.

Milicic himself was ejected, but Milicic was smiling. For Serbia, defeating the American team is much more exciting than winning the Olympic championship!

The game is won, the fight is won, this is the perfect ending!

Even in the final semi-finals, Serbia, led by Jokic's single-core team, finally lost to the French team led by Noah, Parker, Tatum and others in the World Cup two years ago.

After the Chinese team easily defeated the host Brazil team in the quarterfinals, their opponent in the semifinals was Spain led by the Gasol brothers.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Spain 90-82 after four quarters of hard work.

After the United States and Serbia were both eliminated, Spain, which was originally here to make fun of the Olympics, went crazy.

Because everyone saw the hope of winning the championship.

In this game, UAE's performance was absolutely amazing!

Historically, in the 2012 Olympics, they faced the Spanish Super League of the Pau Gasol brothers. This time, they completed the most outstanding game of their life in Rio. They scored 32 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Chinese men's basketball team. Reached the finals.

In the final, facing the French team, their opponent in the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team repeated its old tricks, playing position, shrinking, and height. In the end, it defeated the French team again 86 to 76.

After a lapse of four years, the Chinese men's basketball team unexpectedly won the Olympic gold medal again!

04, 08, 12, 16!

As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team also completed its fourth consecutive Olympic championship!

And Chen Xiao has become another player and coach in basketball history who has won an Olympic gold medal!

At the same time, in this Olympics, the MVP was awarded to the UAE.

For the 32-year-old UAE, MVP and Olympic champion, this is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, when he finally got on the podium, Ah Lian cried like a tearful person.

At the same time, watching the Chinese team members such as Chen Xiao, Arab League, Yao Ming, etc. who were crying, laughing, and excited on TV, Popovich in front of the TV was doubtful about life.

As one of the best head coaches in NBA history.

His career as head coach of the US team can simply be described as miserable.

Two World Series, each time more embarrassing than the last.

This time, it was even embarrassing to the extreme.

The fourth place in the group was directly eliminated. Can the American team get worse in the future?

Can you imagine that the U.S. team won’t be able to qualify for the group stage in the future?

There is no need for the American media to criticize us.

Popovich returned to the United States with the US team and took the initiative to take responsibility for the US team's failure and chose to resign as the head coach of the US team.

At the same time, USA Basketball announced that Jordan, the assistant coach of Team USA and the championship head coach of Bobcats, will take over as the head coach of Team USA.

Just like Chinese basketball, which is about to enter a new era.

American basketball is about to enter a new era.
