Chapter 315
Soon, An Luo met Du Feng, the head coach of the blue team.In the past few years after retiring, his appearance has not changed much.
"Hello, Director Du."
An Luo admired these seniors from the bottom of his heart.He grew up watching these people's games.As players, they made great contributions to the Chinese men's basketball team.In terms of personal strength, they are not as powerful as those superstars in the NBA.But in An Luo's heart, he prefers to be like them.
Although Du Feng looked unsmiling, An Luo could feel that the other party was still a little bit happy.After all, he has also watched An Luo's game, and he knows that this person can definitely play a big role in the national team.
"Hello, An Luo. We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
After shaking hands with An Luo, Du Feng called the other players over and introduced each other.
Prior to this, An Luo's entry into the national team was not announced to the public, but the players all knew about it.So it didn't cause any disturbance.But then, this incident caused quite a stir in the outside world.
The news that An Luo officially participated in the national team training camp spread like wildfire, and it was widely spread for a while.Many fans were ecstatic.After many years, the national team finally has NBA-level players.And he is still a player who averaged 20+ per game in the NBA.For a moment, everyone was full of hope for the men's basketball blue team, which was not optimistic at first, and full of expectations for this trip to the Asian Cup.
Of course, some people are not very optimistic about An Luo joining the national team.After all, the problems of the Chinese men's basketball team cannot be solved by one or two players.Back then, Yao Ming was able to lead the national team to dominate Asia and made it to the top 8 in the Olympic Games. The teammates around him were very strong.
But all in all, it is a good thing for An Luo to join the national team.Whether it is for the team or for An Luo personally, it is a very good opportunity.
In the following days, An Luo settled down and started training with this group of players.
After staying for a while, An Luo realized that Du Feng was actually not as difficult to get along with as An Luo knew before.However, his requirements are indeed very strict.If anyone can't complete the daily training tasks well, he will definitely be scolded by him.Well done, he's still kind.
His prestige in the team is quite high.As a former national player, although he did not enter the NBA, he is also a capable player in the international arena.At least for now, this group of players has not reached the heights he once had.So everyone is more obedient, and the training is also very serious.Including An Luo.In fact, the training intensity here is not high for him.But no matter in the circle of basketball or the national team, he is a rookie!He knows what to do a rookie!
训练的时间安排得并不算长。每天上午9：00到11：30，先练力量然后进行技术和投篮训练；下午从3：30到5：30，分组比赛，主要训练对抗。
There are about 2 days off a week, usually on Wednesday, Saturday afternoon and Sunday all day.
The players get along pretty well too.Although he was not very familiar with it at first, and An Luo had never played in a domestic professional league, everyone was inevitably a little bit estranged.But after getting along slowly and getting acquainted with each other, they will be able to play together.After all, most of them are young people, and they all like basketball.
Of course, strength is a very important thing.In everyone's impression, An Luo is average in all aspects.Of course, except for the more powerful three-pointers.He is not tall, so he doesn't have any advantage even if he plays the second position.The body doesn't look too strong, and he can't break through or pass the ball, unless he has a flash of inspiration occasionally.
But when they fought against each other in person, they no longer thought about it that way.Not to mention An Luo's shooting, defense and ball control, it opened the eyes of that guy.When one of the rising stars was blocked by An Luo and couldn't get close to the three-point line, no one questioned An Luo's strength anymore.Those who can gain a firm foothold in the NBA are not ordinary people.
There is another more important reason, An Luo lowered his posture this time.He has outstanding abilities, but he is not overbearing, and has a more cheerful personality, so he can blend in wherever he goes.And everyone yearns for the NBA. From An Luo, you can learn a lot of unknown things.
On August 8, under the leadership of Du Feng, An Luo and others came to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, to make final preparations for the upcoming first Men's Basketball Asian Cup.
The players selected for this Asian Cup include Guo Ailun, Yu Dehao, Zeng Lingxu, Liu Xiaoyu, An Luo, Li Gen, Gu Quan, Zhou Peng, Ren Junfei, Hu Jinqiu, Han Dejun, and Li Muhao.
Du Feng liked to train rookies when he was in the Guangdong team.Therefore, the players selected for the Chinese men's basketball blue team this time are all young after all.The reason why Yao Ming divided the national team into two is to allow more players to be trained and improved.
However, Yi Jianlian's absence made An Luo feel a little regretful.He has long admired the current top player in the Chinese men's basketball team.Not being able to see his fit with An Luo also made fans across the country very regretful.
After settling down in Beirut, Du Feng took everyone to study the next game.
According to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will first play against the Philippines, Qatar, and Iraq in the group stage.If the Chinese team wants to advance directly to the quarterfinals, it must qualify with the first record in the group.Otherwise, there will be a cross-elimination match with the second and No.3 in Group A.A theoretical opponent could be Syria or Jordan.Although the opponent's strength is average, the risk of the Chinese men's basketball team's advancement will greatly increase.
Due to the joining of the Australian and New Zealand teams, the pattern of the Asian Cup has undergone major changes.According to the registration information on the FIBA official website, there are no NBA players in the Australian team lineup, but due to its overall strength, it is still regarded as the biggest favorite to win the Asian Cup.The Iranian team is changing from old to new, but Haddadi will still pose a huge threat to the Chinese men's basketball team when he goes out with the team.Although Blatche will not participate in this competition, the fast play of the Philippines also has a certain impact.Of course, South Korea, Japan, Jordan and other teams should not be underestimated.
Although there are many strong enemies, it does not mean that this Chinese men's basketball team is only here to accumulate experience.The process is very important, and the results cannot be let go.As the team's head coach Du Feng said:
"We are ready to face difficulties. If someone says not to be nervous, then he must have no sense of responsibility, no ideas, no goals. This year we are divided into two teams, but we represent the Chinese team, so there must be performance requirements , It is necessary to play the previous style and mental outlook of the Chinese men's basketball team."
