Chapter 218 [What does it mean to be invincible! 】

Suzy does not plan to appear in front of the media or conduct any public business activities.

But he still accepted an interview with CCTV.

Yang Ma’s face must be given.

CCTV also attaches great importance to Su Xi. They brought an interview team and invited two famous program hosts to interview Su Xi and Isiah Thomas in the hotel conference room.

This grand level made Isiah Thomas a little nervous.

But as the interview began, everyone relaxed.

They started from Su Xi's basketball career, talked about Su Xi's study life in the United States, and talked about the memory of Su Xi and her grandfather depending on each other.Some are happy and some are sad.Of course, it is also inseparable from Su Xi’s achievements.

NCAA championship, Final Four MOP, NBA championship, Finals MVP.

This is the mark left by the Chinese at the pinnacle of basketball, and it is certainly worthy of special mention.

Su Xi behaves very modestly in front of the camera. He has the ability to automatically identify Chinese and American cameras.In the United States, he is crazy.At home, he said that it was all due to the current situation and that he only did a small amount of work.

However, Isiah Thomas next to him was unceremonious.He was asked what he thought of Suhi's first season in the NBA.

Excited saliva flew everywhere.

Although for a long time in the past, when domestic media reported basketball news, they were accustomed to praising Jordan and treating Isiah Thomas and his bad boy army as villains: following the mainstream argument in the American sports circle, making a history of Jordan's heroism View.

But since Isiah Thomas announced that he would become a consultant to the Chinese men's basketball team, his achievements have been exaggerated.

The Smiling Assassin's Honor is too hard.If nothing else, just being the only superstar in NBA history to defeat Bird, Magic, and Jordan is enough for him to boast.

That is, he messed with Jordan.Otherwise, at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, he would have been able to serve as a temporary ruler in a caretaker cabinet.

Now that he is on the big ship of Su Xi, his reputation in China has begun to show signs of change.

"...Jake's first season in the NBA, I think he is the best in the history of basketball. No one is better than him. LeBron James, who is called the chosen one, did not even make the playoffs. It's absolutely ridiculous that he could take away half of Jack's Rookie of the Year award, and the authority of the NBA review will be greatly compromised as a result."

"Magic won the Finals MVP in his rookie season, but his statistics and the role he played for the Lakers at that time were simply not comparable to Jack's."

"Bird made no achievements in his rookie season, Michael Jordan scored in addition to scoring, and the team honors were close to zero."

"Those like Chamberlain and Russell in ancient times cannot be included in this kind of selection list."

"I have full confidence in Jack. This is just the beginning. He will definitely leap from one Finals MVP to the next."

"I'm not worried at all that he won't be able to adapt to the rules of international basketball. I can make a clear prediction that Jack will be the player most adaptable to the FIBA ​​system among all NBA superstars. Look at his playing style! Strong body, flexible Movement, steady passing, powerful breakthroughs... FIBA's basketball rules are designed for him."

"On the contrary, I think many NBA stars will hit a wall under the FIBA ​​system. Those breakthrough players will not get so many biased whistles. There is no three-second limit for the center, and the paint area is full of power."

"Those physically gifted players who don't have solid ball handling skills will also be targeted because they will encounter really strong opposition. They can easily lose the ball or make moves. Don't be too superstitious about the NBA's physical talents. FIBA ​​is on another level. physical confrontation."

"Jack will definitely bring medals to China. I know many fans are looking forward to this happening. Don't worry, what should happen will definitely happen."

"Bronze medal? Silver medal? Or gold medal? I can't predict this. But we will definitely stand on the podium."

Isiah Thomas is still a bit conservative.

The interview between Su Xi and Isiah Thomas was soon broadcast on CCTV, and CCTV also sent a filming team to follow Su Xi to bury her grandfather.They traveled to their hometown easily by car, and with the help of the local government, they completed the burial ceremony.

Su Xi donated 100 million US dollars to her hometown for children's education and sports, and the funds were earmarked.

CCTV followed along and produced this one-hour episode of "The Return of the Wanderer, the King of the Basketball World." 》.

This program airs in prime time.

Su Xi's interview did not take up a lot of space. CCTV filmed Su Xi's living environment in New Jersey, interviewed his elementary school teachers, middle school teachers, and university teachers... and recorded Su Xi's hardships along the way.

It’s not just the glorious moment when you capture glory and reach the top.

It traces Su Xi's life trajectory.

CCTV produces it with care, and you can trust its quality.

After this program was broadcast, the response was huge and the public opinion was very sensational, triggering national discussion.And, it spread to the United States across the ocean.

Of course, the reason it went viral is because the American media reported clips of an interview with Isiah Thomas.

Isiah Thomas categorically claimed that Suhi is the greatest freshman in history, saying that Suhi is extremely adaptable to the FIBA ​​system, while other NBA superstars may not be able to adapt, and that the Chinese team will definitely win a medal and go to accept the award. tower.

These three things are all on the tail of the American basketball circle.

USA Basketball is gearing up and actively fighting to defend its Olympic gold medal.After all, they only finished No. 6 in the last World Championships, which was held in the United States.

If this Olympics fails again, the Dream Team will be renamed the Nightmare Team.

There's a lot of pressure in USA Basketball.

Moreover, the lineup of this year's Dream Six Team is indeed dim. Without Iverson and Duncan, it would be even more difficult to look forward to.

"Isiah Thomas is notorious in the United States. A man who was rejected by the Dream Team actually went to China to work as a consultant. There is no credibility in what he said. He was just trying to flatter himself."

"Jack Su is very powerful, but his greatness is based on the overall strength of the Pacers. Without the Pacers, can he win medals?"

"Jake Su represents American basketball. He has never proven himself outside the United States. I think even if he goes back to China, he will not be able to form a chemical reaction with his new teammates. The Chinese team may have a chance to go further, but if I think it will be difficult for them to win medals.”

"Jack Sue may indeed be No. 1 in history in terms of honors, but if you think he can become a player like Jordan or Magic, you are totally wrong."

“The combination of Isiah Thomas and Jake Sue is not surprising at all.”

"..."

This is the rhetoric that floods the American media.

Lamar Odom, a member of the Dream Sixth Team, also expressed his remarks: "Many people say that Jack Su and I have similar playing styles. I am looking forward to meeting him in the group stage."

Sean Marion said: "The little sheep Suzy will turn into a real little sheep after leaving the Pacers and will be eaten by the Dream Six Team."

They were the only two to speak out.

They did not take Su Xi seriously. Instead, they enthusiastically regarded Su Xi as a prize in the game.Killing the youngest Finals MVP in history will drop a lot of equipment.

There are many people in Dream Team Six who have the same thoughts as them, and LeBron James must be the strongest one.

Head coach Larry Brown hated Susie even more.Last season was the most frustrating moment of his career, as he failed miserably against Rick Carlisle.Many people now don't respect him as much as they did before.

He now needs an Olympic gold medal to save his place in history.

As for LeBron James, as long as he defeats Su Xi in the Olympics, he will definitely make a big fuss.

But, do you think they didn’t speak out publicly?

Is it because they don't want to? …

Suhi has been in the training hall and he has left a deep impression on the national team coach Yunus.Jonas is a European coach who is very strict and rigid, and pays close attention to details.

The arrival of Suzy and Isiah Thomas actually made him uneasy.

It turns out that he came here with a halo, a foreign teacher and a European coach.In such a place where "foreign monks like to chant sutras", his authority is unquestionable.

But suddenly, the Finals MVP of the world's largest league arrived, and so did the famous Isiah Thomas.Isiah Thomas is not only a two-time NBA champion, he also prepared the CBA in the United States. He also founded the Raptors club. In Indiana, he even built the foundation of a strong team... He is remarkable in management and coaching. .

It is normal for Yunus to be worried, but what he is even more worried about is the conflict of ideas.

There is a big difference between European basketball and American basketball.

However, Suxi left a deep impression on him on the first day he entered the training camp. He was the first to come to the team and the one who practiced the hardest. Instead of complaining about the physical training arranged by Yunas, he actually Practice the most vigorously.He also ran those simple tactical runs without any complaints, and his attitude was much better than that of domestic players.

The most important thing is that Yunus assigned him tactics, and he implemented them all and accepted them all.

It doesn't feel like the legendary NBA superstar is so domineering.

Su Xi did not challenge his authority at all, even though he had the ability to do so.

Another player, Isiah Thomas, who is known as the NBA's troublemaker, was also very quiet. He stood on the sidelines and just watched.

Occasionally, when the players were taking a break, he would chat with a few defenders and demonstrate technical moves.It made the defenders go to him and ask him for technical moves.

There is no doubt about Isiah Thomas' skills. In the technical field of point guard, he is the standard.Although Magic Johnson is the number one point guard in history, when it comes to point guard skills and experience, he is a true master and an industry textbook.

Isiah Thomas only teaches technique and does not break the rules.

This makes collaboration closer.

Yonas is not a stubborn player either.As it is said in "Zengguang Xianwen", 'There are straight trees in the mountains, but there are no straight people in the world'.There are no stubborn people in this world.

In the evening, Yunus took the initiative to find Su Xi.

He took out his tactical manual to discuss with Su Xi. He said that he didn't quite understand Su Xi's technical style of play and needed Su Xi to make some tactical suggestions.

The conversation was a success.

Su Xi received a huge resource tilt on the tactical end. He gained unlimited firepower and core ball control.

Although the tactical manual still says to focus on the inside and play team basketball.

But in fact, Yao Ming's work content has been reduced a lot.

He will become a pure 'terminator' and will no longer be responsible for the transition and connection of the ball.

He also spends more time in the paint, where he's most threatening.

The arrival of Su Xi will completely solve the problem of Chinese defenders needing to cover when holding the ball, and will also maximize the release of Yao Ming's nuclear weapon-like offensive firepower.

In the FIBA ​​system without a three-second limit, Yao Ming is an unfettered all-weather forbidden nuclear weapon.

This can be seen from the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Angola on July 7.

At the Guangzhou Stadium, under the watchful eyes of [-] fans.

苏希第一次穿上中国队10号球衣，他全场比赛拿到10分11助攻10篮板8抢断2封盖。

At the end of the game, the score was 111:45.

Angola originally wanted to send two main players to travel with some rotation players and earn some appearance fees.As a result, Su Xi was directly beaten into a monkey game.

Suxi blocked three Angolan point guards in the opening game, making him afraid to dribble the ball alone. Angola arranged a special inside line to cover him in the half court.

This scene is familiar yet unfamiliar to Chinese fans.

I couldn't help but cry out like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: From now on, offense and defense will be easy!The bandits can go, and so can I.

Another change brought about by Su Xi is that after Su Xi's entangled defense brought down the opponent's offense, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack became easier.

Suhi broke through Angola's defense line, just like a hammer smashing tofu. The African brothers are very strong, but the gap between them and Suhi is not even a little bit.

Su Xi charged like a bull, and the Chinese team's defender stood beside him like a melon.

Yao Ming is also more relaxed than ever in the paint.

"Angola's quality is not good enough, and its level is about the same as that of American high school students."

Su Xi told the team leader after the game: "Don't arrange opponents like this in the future. It has no training value."

Uh….

The team leader was a little embarrassed.

Because the Chinese team lost to this team a week ago, Yao Ming did not play and Wang Zhizhi did not return to the team.

The Chinese fans were excited. They could only see such a score from the Dream Team before.When the Dream Team plays in international leagues, it usually leads by three digits versus double digits. It is normal to win a game by [-] or [-] points.

"When I woke up, the great powers turned out to be me."

On the hupupu website, this post became the most popular on the website.

Netizens left messages below.

"It's so exciting! I almost squeezed my balls to burst. It's been so many years since I've felt so relieved."

"My dad asked me why I knelt down to watch the game. I told him that the Chinese team led by 38 points at halftime, and then he knelt down to watch the second half with me."

"Susie is too strong! I feel like he should hold back. Isiah Thomas is right. He is perfect for FIBA. He is strong, handles the ball well, and his defense is very strong and sticky. Who can withstand him? "

"I would like to call this Chinese team the strongest!"

"With Su Xi, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi, this is not a matter of rushing out of Asia. We should consider having a try with the dream team!"

"It should be called the dream team, I am invincible!"

"..."

Chinese fans are extremely excited.

The fans of the Dream Team were a little unable to stand up at this time, because they were also training in Europe, but they were defeated by Italy by 17 points in the warm-up match in Cologne, Germany.

Comparing the two items, is the dream team really going to send it?
