The King of the NBA

"Tsk tsk, coach Gong Luming is too ruthless, isn't he afraid of knocking players down?"

"It's probably out of anger."

"It must be out of anger. Ning Yi scored 34 points, Ah Lian scored 24 points, and the others only scored a dozen points. I would have scolded my mother if I changed it."

"I'm just worried, what about the next game against Argentina?"

In China, many fans are discussing.

People didn't know that at this moment, Gong Luming had summoned all the players in the Huaxia men's basketball team except Ning Yi, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Dazhi.

This is a training gymnasium. There are only Gong Luming and 9 players from the Huaxia men's basketball team in the huge gymnasium. No one speaks. All the players lower their heads, and the atmosphere seems oppressive and dull.

"Are you blaming yourself for losing this match?" Gong Luming suddenly asked.

Everyone bowed their heads and no one spoke.

Gong Luming sighed, and said: "I also blame myself. You are all outstanding players in your respective teams, and you all performed very well. But when you are in the national team and under my subordinates, your self-confidence is as good as yours. The one-out-of-the-match vibe that we had on our respective teams has disappeared."

"It's my fault."

Everyone looked up.

Guo Ailun opened his mouth, and finally it was Zhou Peng who spoke, "Coach, you are right, we did not do well, we let you down."

"Coach, we actually want to win, and we tried, but" Guo Ailun felt aggrieved. After all, he was only 21 years old this year, but he only said half of what he said, and swallowed the rest.

Gong Luming said: "I know you have worked hard and tried. But why didn't you manage to do it? Is it because of your strength? No." He pointed at Guo Ailun, "Guo Ailun, the second quarter Seven minutes, your cut layup, such a good opportunity, why didn't you score? Also, at two and a half minutes of the third quarter, Ning Yi passed the ball to you, you were completely open, why hesitated? The result In the end, I failed to make a shot. In the third minute of the fourth quarter, why did you dodge your breakthrough layup? If you do not dodge, the opponent is a foul. Maybe you can score 2+1. Once you dodge, the result will go up. No basket."

"I" Guo Ailun opened his mouth, but couldn't argue.

Gong Luming looked away and pointed at each one: "Sun Yue, you are so tall, why didn't you just layup when you got the second rebound in the fifth minute of the second quarter? Why did you pass to the outside line, afraid of being caught Cover it?"

"Zhai Xiaochun, you also have the ability to attack with the ball. Why do you keep floating outside? When you get the ball, you only know how to pass it to Ning Yi or Yi Jianlian. Don't you know how to play by yourself?"

"Wang Zelin, you are a center forward. What do you do as a center forward? Can you be aggressive in rebounding? Can you be more aggressive when attacking? What are you afraid of?"

"And you, Ding Yuhang"

Coach Gong Luming trained them one by one, and everyone could only bow their heads, unable to refute.

Seeing everyone's appearance of pickled eggplants, Gong Luming softened his tone: "Basketball is a five-person sport. We are a team, a collective. The game is also a matter of five people. You all played well in your own team. , but why do you suddenly become unconfident when you reach the national team? Is it because Ning Yi and Yi Jianlian are too good? Or is it because the opponent is too strong?"

"Neither of them." Gong Luming said, "It's because you underestimate yourselves. Guo Ailun, where is your drive to be fearless? Sun Yue, where is the confidence you had when you played in the 2008 Olympics? Ding Yuhang, Zhai Xiaochun, you are only 21 years old, does your future stop here? You have no revenge, no dreams? Do you think you can only do this, and feel that you are inferior to others?"

Everyone was shocked, and their faces turned red.

Gong Luming suddenly shouted: "Answer me, yes or no?"

"No." Everyone roared in unison.

"Okay." Gong Luming smiled: "This is the momentum, this is the momentum you should have. This time I can forgive you, but there will be no next time. You have also seen Ning Yi and Ah Lian fight How tired they are. They tried their best and almost collapsed, but in the end they lost because of you. Are you feeling better? Anyway, I am feeling better. If you let them fight alone next time, I will feel ashamed for you .”

"Not anymore."

"There won't be a next time."

"do not worry."

Everyone said one after another.

Gong Luming let out a long breath: "Okay, let's go. Get ready and make adjustments. We are going to fight Argentina soon. Remember your promise."

Everyone dispersed.

After everyone left, the team's assistant coach Yannis Kristopoulos came out from the other side, looked towards the door, frowned slightly, and said, "Coach, is this really useful?"

"Maybe." Gong Luming said: "I don't know if it will be useful or not. I just try to let them learn from their failures. The group stage is not our goal, it's just our sharpening stone. It's good to experience some failures. There is no growth without failure. I hope they can grow through this failure."

"Well, that makes sense." Yannis Kristopoulos nodded repeatedly.

The time of the group stage is indeed too tight.

The Huaxia men's basketball team played against the Greek team at 2 o'clock in the morning on September 1, China time, and in the past 20 hours, they ushered in another game, against Argentina.

This game started at 23:30 on September 1st, which is not good for the Huaxia men's basketball team, because the last game against Greece, the two core physical energy of Ning Yi and Yi Jianlian was too much, and only 20 games have passed. Hours, there is no way to recover.

What's more, Argentina is not a weak team, so the outside world is generally not very optimistic about the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, and almost everyone thinks that the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is bound to lose.

However, this game still attracted the attention of many people.

"We need to win this game. Only by winning this game will we be more guaranteed to qualify for the group stage." Gong Luming said, spreading out the tactical board, "We will play like this later."

After a while, Gong Luming put away the tactical board.

The crowd dispersed, Ning Yi looked at Yi Jianlian, and smiled wryly, "How much has your physical strength recovered?"

"Less than 70%." Yi Jianlian also showed bitterness. The last game was too exhausting. It only took 20 hours. Even with the help of the team doctor's massage, he still couldn't recover.

"I'm recovering better than you, but I just hope it won't be as tragic as the last one." Ning Yi sighed. Yi Jianlian's recovery was less than 70%, but he has a systematic and unique breathing method, and his body recovers quickly. In addition, there is also a team doctor Massage, relax muscles, relieve fatigue, although not able to return to the peak state, but also recovered 80% to 90%.

Eighty to ninety percent of his physical strength is enough to support Ning Yi.
