Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 257 The rise of a basketball powerhouse! 【For subscription】

The warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team is played with the teams of the Southern California Summer League.

There are ten teams in this league, namely the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Seattle SuperSonics, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors and the Canadian National Team.

This season, there are more Chinese men's basketball national teams.

It's just that the Chinese men's basketball team only played four games.

The four-game matchlist is also out, namely the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Golden State Warriors, and the Canadian National Team.

Playing against two teams in Los Angeles is for convenience. One city can play two teams, which saves time and effort. Playing against the Golden State Warriors is because Yao Ming needs to show his face in front of his new owner.

As for the Canadian national team...for inspection.

I mainly want to see how big the gap is between the Chinese men's basketball team and the European and American teams.

On July 7, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first game and came to Staples again, but this time it represented the Chinese national team. When Lu Yu appeared, all the Lakers fans stood up and applauded Lu Yu. .

One is that you can see a big-name star like Lu Yu in the summer league, and the tickets are so worth it, and the other is that Lu Yu's performance in the finals really amazed the Lakers fans. To be honest, if it wasn't for Lu Yu's opponent, They have long become Lu Yu's fans.

Only then did the teammates of the national team know Lu Yu's influence in the NBA.

I had only heard it before, but seeing it with my own eyes felt so unreal.

A yellow race player is so popular in the United States.

In this game, the Lakers players also wanted to score points on Lu Yu's head, so that they could have a high performance and be signed by the Lakers. Unfortunately, the Lakers' backline was stolen by Lu Yu for a full five. Second-rate.

At the end of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Lakers 101-92.

Lu Yu scored 27 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, which taught the Lakers rookies how to behave.

Yao Ming had 17 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists.

Wang Zhizhi had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

The three of them together scored more than half of the Chinese men's basketball team. Gong Xiaobin only got sporadic playing time, and even Yi Jianlian played more minutes than him.

Yi Jianlian played well, scored 7 points and 8 rebounds, and his excellent physical fitness made people shine.

Especially his toughness in the interior has made many Lakers scouts set their sights on him. They believe that Yi Jianlian has the strength to play in the NBA. Perhaps after the next NCAA season ends, Yi Jianlian may participate in the draft, and he can give it a try at that time.

On July 7, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Clippers again.

The last time Lu Yu fought, it was a player from the Clippers, but it had nothing to do with the players participating in the summer league.

The Chinese men's basketball team won again.

Lu Yu's routine operation, 20 points and 11 assists, his assist data is more than the point guard Liu Wei and Guo Shiqiang combined, who don't know he thinks he is a point guard.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi scored 13 points and 11 rebounds and 17 points and 8 rebounds respectively.

The Clippers did not select any high-quality rookies this year. The selected Chris Wilcox had too rough skills and was overwhelmed by Wang Zhizhi. Compared with Wang Zhizhi's delicate technical movements, he was simply a rough man.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team won the game with a score of 107 to 83.

After the two games, the Chinese men's basketball team was stunned to find that the NBA team was nothing more than that, but they also knew that they were playing in the summer league, and there was nothing to be proud of.

But if it was put in the past, the team they played in the summer league would have a high probability of losing.

But now it seems to be different, it is very easy to play.

For example, Zhu Fangyu, all he has to do is find a shooting position that he is familiar with, wait for Lu Yu to score the ball, and then throw the ball himself.

On the defensive end, Lu Yu locked the opponent on the outside, and Yao Ming served as a natural barrier on the inside.

Winning is easy.

Before the change, the outside line could not seal the opponent, and the inside line was tired like a dog. In the second half of the game, the inside line all lost their physical strength, and they farted.

Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin, who were sitting off the court, looked at each other.

Then both sighed.

These young people in the Chinese men's basketball team have given them hope for Chinese basketball.

Maybe Gong Xiaobin doesn't like training because of his fault, but he is a player who sincerely wants to win, and wants to win in the Chinese men's basketball team. It's not just him, but the older generation of Chinese men's basketball players who have experienced the brilliant Olympic quarter-finals. , have also experienced countless regretful losses to strong European teams. They hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can be better, and they also hope that the Chinese men's basketball team's results are not just the quarterfinals.

After two games in Los Angeles, Lu Yu and the Kobe family had dinner.

Of course, Stewart, who is eating rice, is indispensable.

Lu Yu always felt that Stuart looked at him strangely.

As a scumbag, Lu Yu can naturally guess what this look means.

Please.

wrench!

You're only 12, you're still a kid!

On July 7, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to Oakland to play against the Golden State Warriors.

The fans at the scene erupted into huge applause. They were welcoming their No. [-] pick in the Warriors' home arena for the first time. Although Yao Ming did not represent the Warriors this time, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the Warriors fans.

Arenas came over and hugged Lu Yu, then glanced at Yao Ming: "This is our team's No. [-] pick this year? Shet, how did you grow so tall?"

Yao Ming smiled: "I think it may be genetic."

Arenas looked at Lu Yu who had grown to more than 2 meters, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian who was sitting on the sidelines, and said with envy: "The genes of the yellow race are really good."

But Arenas didn't play this game, he just came to watch the game. If it wasn't for the arrival of Lu Yu and Yao Ming, he wouldn't have given up the opportunity to take a vacation to watch a bunch of rookies play.

In addition to Arenas, several of the team's main players were present, like Jason Richardson, Antoine Jamison, and even the team's big center Dampier.

Game start.

Lu Yu took the initiative to pass the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming squeezed inside, but did not squeeze the opponent. At this time, he was a little thin, but it did not affect his offense. After turning around directly, a hook was made, and the defender could only look at the ball and sigh.

Can't get enough!

Basketball hit the net.

"Hey, the big guy is not bad!" Richardson said with a smile.

Two rounds passed.

After Lu Yu picked and rolled, he passed the ball to a high position.

Yao Ming raised his hand to shoot a step behind the free throw line. His shooting posture was not standard, his arms were raised a little high, and a pair of big hands almost covered the basketball, but the shooting arc was very good, and the basketball fell into the basket with a swoosh. basket.

"This big man is great." Jamison also nodded.

Two more rounds passed.

Yao Ming held the ball at a high position, and suddenly threw the ball behind his head. Lu Yu, who had cut in from the other side, picked up the ball in the air, floated in the air, and dunked the ball in from the other side with his back.

"Wow, this big man is simply too powerful!" Arenas stood up excitedly.

All the fans stood up excitedly.

fantastic.

Can attack at the basket, shoot high, pass the ball, and have a height of 226cm. There are not many such big centers in the entire NBA!

The management in the stands of the Warriors seems to see the hope of the team's revival!
Only Dampier's face darkened.

He has always felt that in the entire league, except for O'Neal, there is no stronger center than him, but the appearance of Yao Ming made him feel threatened!

Not to mention the league's second center, I don't know if the Warriors' starting position can be kept.

The title of the opponent's top pick is enough to make him a substitute for a period of time, not to mention that there is a huge Chinese market behind the opponent.

If Yao Ming does not perform well, he still has a chance to become the starter again, but depending on Yao Ming's current style of play, he may not perform well?
In this game, the teammates of the Chinese men's basketball team intend to make the ball for Yao Ming, so that Yao Ming can keep scoring.

最后，姚明拿到了30分14个篮板4次助攻的数据，中国男篮也以98比71赢得了比赛的胜利。

After Yao Ming's game, he was warmly welcomed by Warriors fans.

Lu Yu just smiled. He felt that it was a good choice for the Warriors to realize the importance of Yao Ming through this game.

In fact, the strength of several NBA teams in the summer league is not strong. According to the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is normal to win the game. After all, the players in the summer league want to express themselves more, so they are much worse in cooperation. .

Even the coaches are mostly assistant coaches of the team.

Just like the Bulls' summer league last year, when Lu Yu played, the Bulls' coach was Cartwright, who was still an assistant coach at the time.

So to win these teams, Lu Yu feels that there is nothing to brag about.

However, for the domestic media, it is different. The Chinese men's basketball team won the NBA team, not to mention the summer league, even the development league is not enough.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the Chinese men's basketball team has only defeated two summer league teams in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The first time was in 2007 to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team started the summer league. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team was very strong and could be called the strongest in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. The players included Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Liu Xiaoyu, Wang Shipeng, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, and Mo Ke. , Li Nan, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui, Zhang Jinsong, Wang Zhongguang, Wang Lei, the team members at that time were all well-known figures in the CBA, and they were also the original team of the 2008 BJ Olympics.

Of course, Yao Ming was not there.

That is, this lineup helped the Chinese team to enter the top 8 of the Olympic Games, but even such a strong team, in the five games of the NBA Summer League that year, only won one game, and still rely on Yi Jianlian in the three-pack. After the clip, the rebounding and shooting lore barely achieved the victory of the game.

The other team is the Chinese men's basketball team that served Poland, and finally achieved a score of 1 win and 4 losses.

As it is now, winning all three battles is almost impossible in Lu Yu's previous life.

Not to mention, the current NBA, even the summer league, is more confrontational than it was a few years later.

However, the Chinese men's basketball team that has achieved results, from top to bottom, from head coach Wang Fei to every player, their goal is no longer the summer league, but a real European and American strong team.

Therefore, the Canadian national team has become the most important opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Canada was placed in a death group consisting of Yugoslavia, Australia, Russia and Spain.

Under the leadership of Captain Nash, Canada won four and lost one, and No.1 in the group qualified.

In the key battle with Yugoslavia for the top spot in the group, Nash scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in a quasi-triple-double, leading the team to victory.

In the eight-for-four knockout, Canada lost to France by five points, and Nash left the field in tears.

Subsequently, in the qualifying match, Nash led the team to defeat Russia, and Canada created the Olympic No.7 success.

Although it is only No.7, you must know, who are the teams that Canada has encountered?
Yugoslavia, Australia, Russia, Spain!
On July 7, after the Chinese men's basketball team had a four-day break, the game against Canada was played at the Warriors' home arena. This match was equivalent to the two teams borrowing the Warriors' arena.

The Warriors are also very happy. The Chinese men's basketball team has Lu Yu, the Canadian men's basketball team has Nash, and there are stars. Tickets are naturally not worrying about selling.

What's more, local fans can see Yao Ming's game again.

In particular, there are many Chinese fans in San Francisco, and the summer league alone has given the team's management an optimistic prospect for ticket sales next season.

Nash and Wang Zhizhi are teammates of the Mavericks, and the two hugged before the game.

He and Lu Yu had nothing to do with each other, because last season, they only played a few regular season games, and the two were not in the same position, so there was basically no chance for them to face each other.

However, he knew that Lu Yu was the most difficult opponent for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Even tougher than the Warriors' No. [-] overall pick.

There is also Wang Zhizhi. He and Wang Zhizhi are teammates. Naturally, he knows Wang Zhizhi's strength. He can stand and rotate in a strong Western team like the Mavericks. Going to a weak team may be the starting strength. He has no reason not to let his teammates on the national team. Pay attention.

The game was intense.

The Canadian team is obviously more tacit, and with the presence of Nash as a leader, their offense is well organized.

But the defense is a little bit bad.

They can't defend against the Chinese men's basketball team.

Lu Yu was like a sharp knife on the outside, easily tearing apart Canada's defense, and Yao Ming kept stirring things up on the inside.

But relying on their own offense, the Canadian team still stubbornly bites the score.

Especially when Lu Yu and Yao Ming went off the court at the same time, they took the opportunity to overtake the score. It can be seen that there is still a gap between the strength of other Chinese male basketball players and the Canadian national team.

This can't be seen in the summer league game, because the main lineup of the summer league has no tactics at all, let alone their backup.

Their substitutes are purely soy sauce.

Canada is different, even if it is a bench player, many of them play for European teams.

In the first half, the two sides tied at 47.

In the second half, the situation changed suddenly, and Lu Yu scored three three-pointers in a row, which completely sounded the horn of the Chinese men's basketball team's attack.

Canada was clearly beaten.

In the final game, the Chinese men's basketball team won the game 99 to 92.

In an interview after the game, Nash said: "Don't let the players of the Chinese team play, otherwise their offense will be unstoppable. From the Chinese men's basketball team, I have seen the rise of another basketball powerhouse!"
