The opening three-pointer in basketball

"I'll go, one game in Imperial City, one game in Magic City, one game in Yaodu City, one game in Rongcheng City, and one game in Yucheng City. Five friendly matches in five places. Are they crazy? Isn't the men's basketball team exhausted?

"

"Why are you tired? If you give me five million a year, I'll have no problem doing it every day."

"You are just messing around. The men's basketball team is flying around and preparing for the game. This consumes too much money. Can you even compete in the Olympics?"

"That's right, I think it's okay to hold it in Shanghai. Shanghai is an international city and can host five friendly matches."

"Dream, who doesn't want to watch Bai Yi play at home? Why should I play in Shanghai? I'm from Rongcheng and I've already bought the tickets."

"That's right, even if we want to focus the attack, it should be the Imperial City, why is it the Demon City?"

The Chinese team has identified five friendly match opponents and determined the competition venue, which has attracted heated discussions among many fans.

It is said that all tickets for the games were sold out within an hour of going on sale.

All sports live broadcast platforms in China have confirmed to broadcast these five games.

And CCTV's advertising fees were sold for hundreds of millions.

Of course, these things actually have nothing to do with Bai Yi. He and Guo Ailun have returned to China and are now living in a big hotel in Shanghai.

After resting for a night and adjusting his biological clock, Bai Yi started training.

On this day, he finished training and returned to his room. Then he heard a knock on the door and saw Deng Huade and Yang Yun standing at the door, both with smiles on their faces.

Bai Yi understood what these two people meant and nodded.

After a while, the two people came to a small conference room in the hotel.

Deng Huade said directly in English: "Bai, we come to you this time because we want to determine the tactics for the game."

Bai Yi, as the team's coach and the core of the team's tactics, naturally had to tell him what skills and tactics he needed to play.

Bai Yi nodded, "Coach, what do you think?"

Deng Huade looked around and made sure there were no other players, only Bai Yi and Yang Yun. Then he lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, I don't think our players are competitive in world-level competitions."

"You must be prepared. Perhaps only Zhu Ba and Ah Lian can help you."

After saying this, he glanced at Yang Yun, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Although the words sound ugly, they are actually true.

In fact, in the Basketball World Cup or the Olympic Games, the defense of the world's top teams is stronger than the NBA playoffs.

There is no defensive three seconds in Olympic games, and the defense scale is much larger.

Therefore, many NBA stars have become soft-footed shrimps by the Olympic Games.

Only players with very strong shooting abilities, such as Kobe, Durant, and Anthony, are popular in the Olympics.

The current Olympic scoring record holder of the beautiful country is Anthony.

For someone like James, facing the Olympics where there is no defense for three seconds, he simply cannot rush forward.

The biggest problem for the Chinese team right now is that they don't have enough bodies and they don't have enough shots.

Apart from Bai Yi, Zhu Ba is now the most accurate in the Chinese team, and Ah Lian is the toughest in the Chinese team.

So Deng Huade said that only Zhu Ba and Ah Lian could help Bai Yi.

Yang Yun was a little embarrassed, but didn't say much.

He understood very well that apart from Bai Yi, the Chinese team really didn't stand out.

Deng Huade continued: "So my opinion is that you score and others defend."

"Bai, as long as you score enough points, we have hope of winning the game."

International basketball has a ten-minute quarter and a forty-minute game. In most games, the scores are 140 or 150.

A team can only score 70 or 80 points.

If Bai Yi explodes with all his strength, one person scores 60 points, and the other teammates score 20 points piecemeal, which adds up to more than 80 points.

Generally speaking, such a score is sufficient.

Bai Yi heard this, thought about it, and felt that Deng Huade was right.

If he were in the Timberwolves, he could transform into Nash Paul and provide assists to his teammates, and maybe he could make the team take off.

But in the Chinese team, the shooting ability is too weak. Paul's arrival is in vain, and he can't even grasp the open space.

It's better to do it all by yourself.

But even though he said that, he is also a CBA star after all.

You are used to being carefree, are you really willing to be a green leaf, and are you really willing to be on the defensive all the time?

Bai Yi glanced at Deng Huade, "Do you know this decision?"

"Yes, we have already told them, and everyone has promised to fully cooperate with you."

Yang Yun answered the call.

Bai Yi nodded, he believed Yang Yun's words.

People in East Asian countries have strong collectivism.

Of course, Bai Yi can't be too good. It's impossible to say that he can be a good performer and still get the support of his teammates.

No matter where they are, the vast majority of people are Mu Qiang.

Deng Huade then said: "Bai, I hope you can show your strength to the best of your ability, and don't worry that everyone will not be able to stand it."

"We often watch NBA, we know your strength, you can definitely do it."

Bai Yi nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"Our opponent in the first game was the Honduras team. This team is of average strength. Their defense is not good, but their offense is okay. Their shots are quite accurate, so they can't be careless."

In fact, this is a common problem among South American teams, they shoot really well.

But the defense is not very good.

There are a lot of small moves, and they may be able to perform better if they meet a more accommodating referee.

Once they encounter a more severe interview, they will stop.

The strongest South American teams are naturally Argentina and Brazil.

These two teams make it to the Olympics almost every time, and they also have NBA players.

Other small South American countries have weak defense, but the basketball teams of these two countries have excellent defense.

Bai Yi has not watched the video of the Honduras national team's game, but since the opponent's defense is average, he is still very confident.

"Okay, there's no problem on my side."

Deng Huade glanced at Bai Yi and nodded with satisfaction.

He likes confident, direct players.

Although Bai Yi doesn't speak much, he is undoubtedly very confident.

This is actually very rare among Chinese players. Chinese players have played less international competitions, so when they come to international competitions, they dare not make moves and play timidly.

Now it seems that Bai Yi obviously does not have this problem.

Deng Huade thought for a while and then talked about some characteristics of international competitions, especially the differences from the NBA. Deng Huade emphasized it.

Bai Yi listened quietly.

Although he had known it for a long time, he was kindly reminded, so there was no reason to refuse, right?

After a while, Deng Huade and Yang Yun left Bai Yi's room together.

Yang Yun smiled and said: "How many points do you think Bai Yi can score in the first game?"

"Fifty points."

He said a number, mainly for national team games, the pace is relatively busy. If it were the NBA's pace and Honduras' defense, he would say sixty points.
