From July 2 to July 8, the promotional activities of 7 days and 5 stops made Zu Ean die. However, he found that Sun Ce seemed to be tired no matter what, and he also went to the hotel gym to practice for two hours after the promotional activities every day.

Originally, Zu E heard that Sun Ce told the team to have an independent gym hotel, but he thought that Sun Ce wanted a high-end hotel because hotels with an independent gym were basically high-end hotels.

Now I know that Sun Ce is just to book the gym!

Finally, he returned to Zu'e's home in Tianjin. As before, Zu'e gave up the room to Sun Ce and slept on the sofa by himself.

Nothing else, although the bed is a little smaller for Sun Ce, it is at least a normal 1.5-meter-wide bed. Sun Ce really can't sleep with the sofa.

After two days off, I went to listen to crosstalk and watched the drama. My leisure time always passed quickly. On August 11, Zue E accompanied her mother on a trip, and Sun Ce came to Beijing and went to the basket manager first.

The center reported on returning to the team, and then went to the designated venue in Qingdao to meet the new national team teammates.

Sun Ce remembers that this World Cup was gone without Yao Ming and he didn't even pass the qualifiers. As for why he couldn't play in the qualifiers, because he didn't win the first place in Asia, let alone the first place, he didn't make it into the top four in time and space.

If Yi Jianlian, who developed three-pointers, had not developed a three-pointer, was blocked from the basket in the game with Wanwan, and shot three-pointers in a single game, broke the record of the Asian basketball championship, and helped the Chinese men's basketball team.

He narrowly defeated Wanwan and almost failed to enter the top three, but he entered the top three, and was only third, and was beaten in the semi-finals.

But the third one is not able to enter the World Cup. Although there are the last World Championships champions, Asia still has only 2.5 places, and the third place needs to be won. However, the Asian regional qualifiers also lost from the beginning to the end. This time, Yi Jianlian was not sent to participate.

, even more miserable.

The older generation of players who have not retired are old, and Zhu Fangyu can play, but young players are not good at it.

Fortunately, their Chinese team is the defending champion, and there is a fixed place without competing for it.

However, Sun Ce felt that the Chinese men's basketball team did a good job in the Asian Championships last year. All the young and talented people were sent out, so they felt what the gap was. They didn't ask them to understand the gap between them and European and American teams.

, it is enough for them to feel the difference with the older generation.

Not to mention Yi Jianlian, even the old Wang Zhizhi played better than all other young insiders.

This is embarrassing, but the Chinese men's basketball team is really time to break and not stand. Otherwise, even if he and Yi Jianlian were there, they would not go long when they went to the international arena. The German team had Nowitzki and Kaman, the pair, selected as NBA All-Stars, and that time.

The double towers and a bunch of excellent players in the Bundesliga ended up not being able to get out of the group stage.

It’s not that Sun Ce is self-deprecating and thinks how bad the CBA players are, but that no matter how arrogant he is, he will not think that the overall level of the CBA league is as high as that of the Bundesliga.

When it was time for the training camp, Sun Ce met Yao Ming. Yao Ming's first words were: "Little Overlord, you must be mentally prepared."

Sun Ce didn't understand at first, but then he understood.

This time, even Wang Shipeng and Wang Zhizhi did not participate in the first World Basketball Cup. Although Wang Zhizhi was still playing in Bayi, he had decided to retire after the new season. This time he joined the national team as an assistant coach.

Other players need basic skills but no basic skills, and no body... However, they should have a good fight. The basketball in Guangdong and Guangxi is still very good compared to other regions in the country. Nearly half of the national team members come from these places.

After Sun Ce met with his new national teammates, the first thing he did was not to say hello to meet, but to introduce himself to sign.

Then he practiced together. When Sun Ce squeezed away the 18-year-old inside player Zhou Qi, he called out that Wang Shipeng, who was practicing together, felt that there was no need to practice.

Obviously, Sun Ce is in a state online. After the season, Sun Ce said he would go to Jordan to learn skills. The national team agreed. Now it seems that it is true and his condition is in a good state.

As for cooperation... This World Cup is very simple. Give the ball to Sun Ce or Yi Jianlian, and the others will pull the ball away, count the shot, and do not make the shot.

As Wang Zhizhi, who has seen the golden age of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 1990s and the golden age of Sun Yaoyi, never dreamed that one day the national team would be so weak that it would be better for him to wear the jersey by himself.

But after discussing with Yao Ming, the new head coach Gong Luming decided to let young players see the world, and Wang Zhizhi also supported it because the current domestic players are too much like frogs in the well.

However, Sun Ce, a person who is his own teammate, cannot lose confidence.

After Sun Ce's training, which had only a few rounds, he curiously went to Wang Zhizhi to ask for Zhou Qi's information. This was the talented center of the Liaoning Provincial Team in the past few years, and he went with the Xinjiang Team in January this year.

I signed the contract and had never played CBA yet. I was selected to participate in the World Cup because of my 217 cm height and excellent mobility at the same height.

Then it disappeared, there was no too much information. Sun Ce was curious about it and it was not on these information, but on his weight...

79 kg!

217 cm height, 229 cm arm span, 291 cm height, these data, besides height, are better than Yao Ming, static physical fitness and talent, and their running and jumping ability are not as fast as Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian's running and jumping ability

It's not comparable to any insider, but the vertical bounce reaches 80 cm, which is 3 cm higher than the Yi Jianlian Draft Sports Test.

But the weight... Yi Jianlian has been in the NBA for more than 100 kilograms, and Zhou Qi has been in the 79 kilograms!

When Sun Ce saw a group of players who didn’t know much about the national team, he thought that Yao Ming said that he should be mentally prepared. Now he knows what that means.

Looking back at the Chinese men's basketball team back then, every player could really call out their names, but now, except for Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, other members of the Chinese men's basketball team, even Sun Ce, don't want to ask their name.

Sun Ce feels that some of these people may be very good, but as basketball players, this is probably the only advantage.

After chatting with Yao Ming, Sun Ce changed his previous plan and practiced himself. He should practice what he should do. Strengthen the hook shot on the right bottom line, consolidate the right shot on the three-second zone, and strengthen the right angle to 45 degrees to 30 degrees.

The three-pointer at the corner, the consolidation of shooting at other positions, and the most important point is to strengthen the free throw.

In order to help Sun Ce practice three-pointers and free throws, Yao Ming specially helped Sun Ce set up an NBA standard stadium.

Unlike the training he rents a stadium, Sun Ce often has teammates watching during his training.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming don’t know how many young players can feel what real hardship is, but doing it is better than not doing it.

...

Time flies, and on August 19, Sun Ce goes to Madrid, Spain with the national team and starts preparing for the game.

Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Sevilla, Bilbao, Granada, Las Palmas, six cities and six courts, Sun Ce all followed the national team to experience it.

In the group draw in April, the Chinese team was placed in Group D. It was very simple to group. Spain Group A, Greece Group B, American Group C, and China Group D. They specially put four seed teams in four groups to avoid

These four popular teams met early.

It was soon August 29th, and after the opening ceremony, on August 30th, the Chinese team played their first game with the South Korean team at the Bilbao Forest Park Arena.

131 to 60, Sun Ce easily scored 44 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 blocks, Yi Jianlian scored 25 points and 11 rebounds, and the two led the team to win this easy game.

But on August 31, the Chinese team met Lithuanian team and lost 71 to 77.

On September 1, I met Slovenia and lost 97 to 106.

Finally on September 3, the Chinese team broke out in a game, playing Australia, which had permanently lost Bogut. The Chinese team narrowly won 103-101. This time, Yi Jianlian scored 29 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and Sun Ce scored 25 points and 7

11 assists and 5 blocks.

Dante Exam, who was beaten to be Kobe in Australia before the draft, was short of Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian and blocked five times, becoming two of them.

It was quite easy to play against Mexico on September 5, and the Chinese team easily won the victory 98 to 83.

In the group stage, Sun Ce scored at least 20 points in all five games, including 40+ two of which, averaged 31 minutes per game, scored 31.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 5.2 blocks, and 2.4 steals. His shooting percentage was not very good, four percent

Twelve, players who averaged 11 of 26 shots per game, but the total number of shots in the team exceeded 10 times, Yi Jianlian was more shooting than him; Yi Jianlian scored 20+1 18 points per game, and averaged 22.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.6

Assisted 1.6 blocked 0.4 steals.

Sun Ce just follows Gong Luming's words, just play by himself with the ball. Indeed, he can reach 3 wins and 2 losses in the group stage to advance as the third in the group, relying on Sun Ce's 30+10+5+

5 and Yi Jianlian's 20+10 performance.

...

With 3 wins and 2 losses, the Chinese men's basketball team advanced to the top 16 as the third in Group D.

This record is much beyond the expectations of European and American basketball powers. Judging from the performance of Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian, they thought that the Chinese team won all five games, but when they saw the performance of the Chinese team except Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian... It seems that Yao Ming's group

After retiring, the Chinese men's basketball team is easy to bully!

On September 6, the Chinese men's basketball team, as the defending champion, started a defensive battle. In this game, Sun Ce scored 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, and Yi Jianlian scored 18 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.

, led the team to defeat Turkey 71-65 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

But in the quarterfinals, I met the Serbian men's basketball team... I thought the Serbian men's basketball team was easy to bully, but they only won 2 wins and 3 losses in the group stage and only won fourth place in Group A.

However, the Chinese team lost 64 to 89 without any strength to fight back... and stopped in the quarterfinals.

In the end, in the ranking match on September 7, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Brazil, and the final ranking was eighth in the Western Conference.

Sun Ce has not lost his gains. He averaged 30.4 points, 14 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 5 blocks and 2.3 steals in 8 games, winning the scoring champion of this World Championships, rebounds, blocks, and steals kings were defeated by Spanish point guard Ricky-

Rubio won, and the assist king was defeated by French point guard Tony Parker.

The teams that won the data king failed to enter the semi-finals.

When he arrived at the back, when he saw the Serbian team defeating Spain and Greece's Lithuanian team 90-68 in the semi-finals, Sun Ce realized that the opponent was really amazing!

But in the final, Serbia was easily defeated by the US team and lost more than 30 points 91 to 126.

In the end, Irving won the MVP of this World Championship.

...

The national team career has come to an end. Sun Ce really didn't expect his teammates to be so good. If he hadn't been the same as Yi Jianlian, he would have been able to make it into the top 10 in the world, and would have been very difficult to reach the quarterfinals.

.

But the quarterfinals are over.

Sun Ce was also mentally prepared before, but he was still not very happy when he encountered such a situation.

But he knew better that glory always passed, and he and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu... That golden age suddenly appeared in 10 and 12 years, but it also reached its peak due to the age of many teammates.

It ended abruptly.

Sun Ce could only comfort himself: Wait a little longer, be patient, wait for 20 years, and when my sons of Sun grow up, I will take them to conquer the world!
