The rest is just noise

The day after Louis reached the 700-win milestone in his career, Sunset Villa welcomed an Oriental guest from across the ocean.

This man comes from the ancient country in the East, which is the hometown of Louis.

Louis knew him long before time travel.

However, he did not know Louis at that time.

His name is Li Yuanwei(1).

Anyone familiar with Chinese basketball is familiar with this name. He is a radical reformer known for boldly innovating the league system and creating a new pattern.

Under his leadership, the CBA league has expanded greatly, raising the number of regular season rounds to more than 40 rounds, letting go of Asian foreign players, and greatly improving the competitiveness of the league. However, these things did not bring good results.

.Due to the increase in regular season rounds, many reserve players of the national team were injured during the period. Due to the opening of Asian foreign aid, the influx of top Asian players into the CBA further eroded the development space of local players.

You know, in that era when China's youth training could not win the Asian Youth Championship even if they changed their age (2), the few talented players in the country were affected by various foreign players in the golden period of personal development.

Can become a blue-collar engineer.

What Li Yuanwei has done is controversial. Many people feel that he has found a way out for the national basketball team, while others feel that if he stays in office for a few more years, Chinese basketball will be destroyed.

But no matter what, he was the first person who dared to break out of the framework of his ancestors' methods to explore development paths before the fat man who knew football very well took over.

Now that he is visiting the United States as the vice-president of Beijing Sports University, Los Angeles is undoubtedly the best place to stay.

In some ways, Louis is like Wu Jing who will finish filming "Wolf Warrior 2" in the future. Whether they are foreigners or locals, everyone who wants to make progress in the professional field must come to him to say goodbye to the dock.

"Coach Lu, in your opinion, where is the advancement of American basketball mainly reflected?"

Li Yuanwei asked a seemingly academic question.

"Principal Li, this topic is too big to be discussed in just a few words. What China needs now is not to learn the most advanced ideas, because we haven't even laid the most basic foundation." Louis said profoundly, "Just take the United States.

Said, whether it is a big city like Los Angeles or the poorest small city in Alabama, there is a very systematic and comprehensive children's competition starting from the age of 6, one level after another, every child living in the United States

Teenagers have the opportunity to participate in this activity, which infinitely reduces the possibility of talents being buried. I believe that top talents can emerge on their own, but those who are relatively less top, or who develop later, need

It takes a lot of games to come up.”

"Principal Li, do we have such a foundation in our country?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanwei smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, the only one in the country that has such selection conditions is your road hospital. Presumably, this is also the reason why you can produce so many talents."

"I didn't pay attention to that."

In recent years, Louis' focus has been on the United States, and his annual trip to China has been suspended for several years.

Road Academy is now not only the largest basketball school in the country, but also has more than a dozen branches and has its own campus league, and its scale is expanding day by day.

Both the Bureau and the Basketball Association are paying close attention to this.

Li Yuanwei gradually stopped talking about these grassroots matters.

Because the country currently does not have the conditions to carry out this kind of work nationwide.

Then, they talked about the national team.

Speaking of this, Louis had even more opinions.

"Principal Li, what's going on with the national team selection?" Louis asked angrily, "Why can't we always form the strongest lineup?"

Li Yuanwei previously revealed that he will be transferred to work in the Basketball Management Center next month, which is why Louis asked him about this matter.

He is already considered an insider.

Li Yuanwei avoided the truth and said, "Xiao Yu is injured, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"I know Xiao Yu is injured, but we still haven't assembled the strongest lineup." Louis asked simply, "What's the problem?"

It's hard for Li Yuanwei to talk about this matter.

"Coach Lu, the situation is very complicated. I believe Director Gong has assembled the best lineup he can control."

road

Yi understood the meaning of these words.

If a better lineup is assembled, he won't be able to control it.

Is that what you mean?

Louis did not give Li Yuan a hard time. After all, when the last national team was formed, he was still the president of Beijing Sports University, so it was none of his business.

Afterwards, Louis left Li Yuan to eat at home, said hello to an acquaintance, and then asked Zhao Yuanzheng to take him to visit the site to experience the conditions under which America's top university basketball team trains.

Meeting Li Yuanwei was an unplanned event.

After the Atlanta Olympics, Louis has been thinking about what else he can do to make the national basketball team better.

Road Academy has trained many good players and they should produce results.

As a result, the national basketball team is still in a state of being unable to reach the semi-finals.

This makes it seem as if the road academy has trained so many players in vain.

It is true that there are various reasons for not reaching the semi-finals this year, but if we can assemble the strongest lineup, we will not be affected by these factors.

The appearance of Li Yuanwei gave Louis other thoughts.

He knew that in the near future, Li Yuanwei would become the talker of the Basketball Management Center and the Basketball Association. If he then made a military order with the senior management of Zongju to enter the semi-finals, would he find a truly capable person?

Coach to take charge of the national team?

Will Li Yuanwei consider him?

Louis didn't know it, but the relationship was already established.

If the opportunity really came up, Louis doesn't think he would refuse it.

The 2019 World Cup has always been a nightmare for Louis.

19 years (3) have passed, and when I think back to this day, Louis still seems to have something tumbling in his stomach, making him feel so sick that he wants to vomit it out.

In the afternoon training session, Kobe was picked on by Ellis during the tactical training session.

When Ellis said that Kobe made five mistakes in one strategy, the proud genius couldn't bear it: "In your eyes, everything I do is wrong?"

"You can't do everything wrong." Ellis sarcastically said, "When others need you to shoot, you can always make the most decisive decision as quickly as possible. If you have half of this when running tactics,

With neatness, many mistakes can be avoided.”

Wilson reminded Kobe: "Little Bean, I told you to communicate more."

Kobe Bryant had a crooked saying: "If you communicate a lot during the game, won't the opponent be able to hear it? The best strategy is to listen to thunder in a silent place!"

"That's good, but do you have that ability? You know how to be cool all day long!" Ellis mocked. Kobe rolled his eyes at Ellis and did not talk back, but just snorted unconvinced.

After the training session, the Lakers' most watched program began.

Kobe Bryant took the ball, walked up to Benjamin Wilson and challenged him.

"I don't understand. Why do you challenge him every day? What does winning mean?" Barkley really couldn't understand what Kobe was thinking.

Kobe Bryant said heartbrokenly: "I am asking the seven-time champion for advice on game experience. Please don't influence me from people who have no championship experience."

"You, you, you, you!" Buckley didn't expect this kid to dare to say that.

Big Ben stepped forward and hugged Barkley: "Chuck, he is just a talkative brat. We don't have the same experience as him. Let's eat donuts. Eat a few more and you won't be angry."

Barkley said angrily: "I have to eat at least 10 crispy donuts tonight to forget about this nonsense!"

Kobe Bryant challenged Wilson every day.

Wilson always responded calmly and easily defeated Kobe.

At the beginning, it was difficult for Kobe to score 1 point.

Now, with 11 balls per game, he can score 3 or 4 points per game.

This was accomplished under the premise that Wilson would not let go of water.

Every time Wilson scored on Kobe, he pointed out what mistakes he made on the defensive end.

Some are a matter of experience, some are a matter of technique, and some are a matter of personal choice.

Except for confrontational problems that cannot be solved in the short term, Kobe fully absorbed Wilson's guidance.

Wilson spurred and gave guidance without reservation, allowing Ke to

Bi has benefited a lot. The desire in his eyes and his persistence in becoming stronger are terrifying.

Just like Rukawa Kaede who was completely exposed by Eishi Sawabita but smiled excitedly.

Frustration and failure will only make people like them stronger.

Louis witnessed all this from the second floor, "Maybe one day in the future, Bean will suddenly become a real superstar."

Jim Bass, who was in a daze, looked up and asked: "Sir, what did you say? What are you eating tonight?"

(1) Li Yuanwei is the ID of the owner of the Chinese Men’s Basketball Bar.

(2) Do you know why the National Basketball Team did not decide to change its players until it defeated Manila in 2013? Because the Mesozoic era represented by Big Brother Yi was completely out of gear. Although there are wizards like Big Brother, the players at the same level as him are either

Destroyed by injuries or not developing smoothly, for generations after that, until three groups of players like Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi, and Hu Jinqiu appeared, the national team had been in a situation where no one was available, and replacement was out of the question.

(3) Louis traveled through time 20 years ago, which means it has been 18 years since now. Including the year in his previous life, the total is 19 years.
