Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The Chinese team's warm-up match in Europe came to an end at the end of June.

After playing Canada and the Philippines in Bologna, the whole team flew back to Beijing to prepare for the upcoming Stankovic Cup in July.

For Li Liang, physical fitness and energy will be a test.

It's not that I'm afraid of getting hurt, the main thing is that my heart may be overwhelmed - because sometimes I'm really angry with my teammates.

After successfully defeating Canada, Gong Luming did not let Li Liang play for the second game against the Philippines for the purpose of protecting the players and training the rookies.

Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun were also absent.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines and became an assistant coach, watching the men's basketball boys make all kinds of mistakes, fouls, and be sent off.

Li Liang thought to himself, if he were the head coach, he might have to keep the Golden Throat Lozenge and Quick-acting Jiuxin Pills on hand.

In the end, the Chinese team lost to the Philippines team led by Blatche by 3 points.

Although it is not a problem for China to win the Philippines if it is the main force, the remaining players are also considered to be elite young players in the country. As a result, they cannot beat the Philippines.

The dominance of Chinese basketball in Asia is no longer as stable as it used to be.

It is impossible for Li Liang to participate in various competitions of the national team like Yao Ming did.

The national team's competitions are indeed very intensive, and there are still a lot of warm-up matches before the official competition.

It's no wonder that Yao Ming's NBA career has only been short for 9 years. In 9 years, he may have played as many games as other players in 12 or 13 years.

The European tour of the Chinese team ended with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

I won all 4 games against strong European and American teams, but lost the game against my Asian enemy, the Philippines, which is somewhat regrettable.

However, Gong Luming is quite satisfied with this result. The purpose of the warm-up match is not to win the game, but to find and solve problems, and use the game as a substitute for training, so that the team can reach a good state as a whole.

For Gong Luming, after Li Liang came to the team, there was basically no big problem in terms of running-in.

Li Liang is a very smart player, with top-notch tactical awareness and ability.

Pairing him with the players of the Chinese men's basketball team is equivalent to solving elementary school math problems for high school students-although some off-topic and strange problems still feel inexplicable, but most of the basic problems don't take any brains at all.

Only whether the tactical system of "one shot and four grabs" can be established depends on how the subsequent games are played.

So far, the effect seems to be good.

...

On the evening of June 27, the men's basketball team got off the plane at Beijing International Airport. After more than ten hours of travel, the men's basketball team looked a little tired.

In the hall, when the waiting reporters saw the male basketball players coming out, they stepped forward one after another to take pictures and interviews.

Since Li Liang joined the men's basketball team, the attention of the national team has jumped to a higher level.

Originally, there were only some simple small-length reports on the warm-up match, which would not attract too much attention.

As a result, because of Li Liang's participation, various sports media reported extensively, and the video of the warm-up match was also leaked, which was filmed by someone with a private camera.

Netizens and fans in major forums have high hopes for this men's basketball team.

"This warm-up match, how do you feel about the running-in with the national team?" A female reporter approached Li Liang and asked.

"It's not bad. They got along well with me." Li Liang replied, not that he got along with the national team, but the national team got along with him.

"Do you think participating in the training of the national team will improve yourself?" The female reporter asked the question in a vague way. Can Li Liang and the national team improve in training? It's not bad if you don't regress.

Li Liang himself is a little worried now, whether he will get used to the slow pace of playing with the national team, which will make him uncomfortable when he returns to the NBA.

"I think my appetite has increased. The meals cooked by Team Leader Chai are quite delicious."

Li Liang used Tai Chi to push his hands, and again confused this question.

Otherwise, how would he answer, saying that if I play with low-level players, my level will get worse and worse?

I don't know about the level of basketball. The reporter's level of asking questions really hasn't improved much.

In the parking lot of the airport, Li Liang boarded the bus with his teammates and headed to the National Basketball Training Center of the General Administration of Sports.

Originally, Zhu Shu and Jason's bodyguard team had arrived in Beijing a day earlier, and the coaching staff also allowed Li Liang to live alone, as long as he came to train every day.

But Li Liang said that since it is a team, it is better to eat and live together, and the collective priority is better, and it is not suitable for special treatment.

In fact, Li Liang mainly wanted to be separated from Zhu Shu for a while, so that he could be alone.

I think back when we were together just after graduating from university, we wished we could stick together every day.

Eat, live and play, there are endless things to talk about every day.

To this day, the relationship between the two is still very good, and they trust each other very much, just like relatives.

It's just a matter of officially holding the wedding and becoming husband and wife.

But being able to stay alone on weekdays, Li Liang felt that it was more comfortable to stay alone.

Back in Oklahoma City, although Zhu Shu would miss him very much after leaving, it was really comfortable for him to live alone.

If you miss her, go to Los Angeles, or she will come back.

The so-called farewell is better than a new marriage, as long as you often say goodbye, you can often get married.

Another problem is that if Li Liang lives outside, it is inevitable that various activities will come to him.

Zhu Shu told Li Liang that her phone number in China had already been ringing, and her mailbox was already full of invitations for business appointments.

Out of politeness, Zhu Shu had to reply and refuse one by one.

Moreover, Under Armor also very much hopes that Li Liang will hold a signing event in China, and the scene must be extremely hot.

But Li Liang wanted to concentrate on training. Unlike some players who were born in slums, he could earn a little bit of money. After all, no one has trouble with money.

Basketball players are all young people, and the days when they can earn money may only be a few years or ten years. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

Like Iverson, he is a fighter on the court, but all kinds of bad money off the court.

He used his own name to go to China to hold a fan meeting, walk two steps, say hello, sign two names and take the money to leave.

Because in the first ten years of the 21st century, the NBA took advantage of the limelight of Yao Ming's arrival, greatly opened up the market in China, expanded its influence, and created a group of idols for young fans.

In terms of level, this group of idols is just like that in the long history of the NBA, but everyone has only one youth, and many people are willing to pay for youth and feelings.

Seeing the profit margins, domestic brokerage companies invite these idols to "China tour" every now and then, collecting a wave of money and leaving.

In fact, for some idols, it is enough to stay in memory and images.

Just like a majestic statue, it looks resplendent and dazzling from a distance, but it may be full of rust and holes when viewed up close.

This statue is for viewing from a distance, to appreciate its momentum and shape, but you want to get close to touch its material, it is naturally cold and dirty.

Li Liang doesn't want to be a cold and dirty idol, he finds it troublesome.

As he joined the Chinese national team this year, his family background has also been further excavated by interested people.

As a result, the domestic stocks of his father's agricultural machinery sales company rose sharply, and his net worth increased a lot.

Li Liang was puzzled when he received a call from his father, what does it have to do with your sales of tractors if I play in the national team?

But the old man said, "What determines the market is not performance or assets, but people's hearts."

Li Liang expressed that he is not interested in the family business, and that he will sell sneakers in the future.

Because there is no shortage of money, Li Liang naturally doesn't need to use bad money, he just wants to live comfortably.

Therefore, he and his teammates moved into the basketball training center, lived in a dormitory, ate in a cafeteria, lived a collective life, and prepared for the Stankovic Cup.
