"Confrontation, confrontation, how many times have you said that you have to take the initiative to look for confrontation. Sun Yue, what are you doing? Are you doing the layup like this? How do you hide?"

"When you are defensive, you must be active, even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. You must be active, don't be afraid, and show our momentum."

"And you, Zhang Zhaoxu, you are a center. Why don't you dunk the ball in the open position at the basket?"

The Chinese men's basketball team is training.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the other teams had already left, but the Chinese men's basketball team was still in the training grounds.

It's not that the training time of the Chinese team is particularly long, but the coaching staff deliberately chose this time to conduct some confrontation training. If it is other times, it can only be free training.

There were a lot of problems after the previous game.

It’s useless for the coach to say a few words just by having a meeting. Only by putting it in the confrontation training to correct it can it play some role-it only plays a "some role", because freezing three feet is not a day's cold. , Many things cannot be changed in a moment.

However, it is better than nothing if it is not bright or shiny, even if it only has a little effect.

"Well, that's it for today."

Coach Deng Huade signaled to Li Nan, Li Nan clapped his hands and greeted the players to stop.

A group of players leaned on their knees, gasping for breath.

The intensity of the confrontation training just now is not low, and the coach has been shouting beside him, with a stern tone, which has devastated their bodies and spirits.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. There will be a game tomorrow." Li Nan waved and walked to Coach Deng Huade's side. The two looked at each other and nodded.

Tomorrow will be the second game of the group stage. The reason why we are still practicing this time is actually intentional by the coaching staff. It is to "destruct" the players. We must make strict demands to let them know the seriousness of the problem and let them take it seriously. , Will seriously change.

Of course, not all players need to improve.

Qin Hao, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng have nothing to improve. Qin Hao and Yao Ming have done well enough and don’t need to change. Others are old players and some habits have been carved into their bones. Can't change it a long time ago.

Others, even Yi Jianlian, got scolded.

The main reason is that Yi Jianlian is an inside player, but he is always reluctant to attack in the low post. In fact, he does not know how to play in the low post, but he is always resistant and always loves to float outside the three-point line.

Others may not dare to go to low positions due to their physical fitness, but Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is definitely the best besides Qin Hao in the national team.

After a day of training, the players received a lot of scolding, one by one, leaving the arena silently and returning to the dormitory in the park.

Qin Hao and Yao Ming walked at the end.

"These problems are not a day or two." Yao Ming shook his head, a little helpless, "It can't be changed all at once."

Some bad game habits, some details that do not pay much attention to, and the basic skills are not solid, the style of the game is soft, the concept of the game, etc...

These are formed over many years and are also cultivated by the general environment. The players all play in the cba and are accustomed to the cba style and the rhythm of the cba. In this kind of international competition, against European and American teams, there will naturally be various problems. .

Qin Hao also understands this, and even feels it deeper, because he was also a cba player in his previous life. He played in cba for a long time. At that time, he had never played NBA, and his physical fitness and skills were far worse than now.

He smiled slightly and comforted: "Brother Ming, don't worry about it. It will help a little bit. At least for young players like Guo Ailun and Zhou Peng, there is still time."

Yao Ming nodded, but he was secretly worried, time? There will be in the future, but now it is really nervous. Tomorrow is the second game of the group stage. Against the British team, the problem should not be big, but the three opponents behind are Spain, Brazil, and Russia, each of which is not easy to deal with.

......

The next day, that is, July 31, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the second game of the group stage, the opponent is the host British team.

The British team was selected for the Olympic Games as the host. According to the rules of the Olympic basketball event, the host can directly obtain the right to participate.

The core player of this British team is Bulls player Roll Deng. Roll Deng played very well in the past season, averaging 15.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and was selected. All-star team, becoming the first British player to be selected into the NBA All-Star team.

Originally there was an NBA player in the British team, Ben Gordon of the Pistons, but Ben Gordon did not report to the British men's basketball team for some reason and missed the Olympics.

Therefore, this year's British team only has the NBA player Rohr Deng, and most of the other players play in the European League, and there is no special winner.

If the Chinese men's basketball team did not have Qin Hao and Yao Ming, perhaps the British team could still compete with the Chinese team under the leadership of Rolle Deng, but now, the strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

From the beginning of this game, the Chinese team firmly prevailed. Under the leadership of Qin Hao and Yao Ming, they led their opponents by 11 points at halftime.

After entering the second half, the points difference further widened.

Because he has been firmly in the upper hand, coach Deng Huade has changed frequently. The purpose is to train and train the players. It can also be considered as a battle training to prepare for the next game.

At the same time, Qin Hao is also tempering his mid-range shots, reducing three-pointers and breakthroughs, and more often using mid-range shots to end the offense.

Until the end of the three quarters, the Chinese team still led by double digits.

In the last quarter, the British team launched a counterattack, but soon Qin Hao was replaced to help the Chinese team stabilize the situation.

"drop......"

When the game ended, the score was 86:75. The Chinese team defeated the British team by 11 points and won the second victory of the group stage.

Qin Hao scored 20 points, plus 7 rebounds, 8 assists, Yao Ming 16 points, 11 rebounds, Yi Jianlian 13 points, Sun Yue 7 points...

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Peng played well, even if he played against Rolle Deng, he was not as nervous as other young players. He made two three-pointers and one 2+1. He made 3 of 7 shots and scored 9 points, plus 4 rebounds and 2 assists. This became one of the highlights of the Chinese team in this game.

On the side of the British team, Rolle Deng, as the core of the team, scored 19 points, plus 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He was the person with the most points in the British team. Others scored more scattered, mostly in single digits.

After the game, the Chinese men's basketball team won two consecutive victories in the group stage and currently ranks first in Group B.
