Chapter 485 Warm-up match

"Hey, Tang Shuai." Zhao Jiwei, who was bedside, also stood up and said hello. Although they are from Shandong, the younger Zhao Jiwei seemed much shy. Gong Luming arranged their two teammates together, and he didn't know if they wanted to neutralize them.

"Hey, Discipline Inspection Commission, how did you recover from your shoulder injury?" Tang Shuai also greeted with a smile.

"Most of it, Director Wang (referring to the national team's physical fitness teacher Wang Weixing) said that it would help me to recover to the level that I can play in a short period of time." Zhao continued to squeeze out a smile and said, it was obvious that the injury troubled the talented defender.

"Well, don't worry. Since you have a solution, there must be a solution. If it really doesn't work, I can try to contact you with the American physical trainers. They are still very good." Tang Shuai comforted.

After comforting Zhao Jiwei, he shared some NBA affairs with Guo Ailun, and he followed him out of the room of the two people.

Next is the room of Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi. Gong Luming arranged the double towers and lived together in the talent show, as if he wanted to cultivate their tacit understanding.

When he knocked on the door and went in, there was only Wang Zhelin in the room. Zhou Qi seemed to have something to do for the time being.

Wang Zhelin was playing with tablets with glasses. After putting it down, he stood up from the bed and greeted him: "Ship Tang."

"Damn, your hairstyle is so cool." Tang Shuai was attracted by his arrogant hairstyle at the first sight of Wang Zhelin. The black and yellow hairstyle, like straw piles, was really at the forefront of fashion.

"Haha, stop complaining, I'm almost everyone else's complaint to death." Wang Zhelin was still shy and said embarrassedly.

In fact, although Wang Zhelin is very big, he is wearing glasses and full of student spirit. If others don’t say it and are shorter, basically people will regard him as a college student.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhou Qi also came back, holding a bag of daily necessities in his hand.

"QQ, I'm back." As soon as Zhou Qi entered the door, Tang Shuai said hello.

"Shishuai Tang, why did you come to visit?" Zhou Qi saw that it was Shuai Tang, and then sat down next to the bed.

"It was not arranged by Director Gong. I asked me to strengthen my relationship with you. By the way, how is your talent show going? Do you mind giving me some clues or something?" Tang Shuai asked with a smile.

"This is hard to say, but I am very confident in myself and I can feel that those teams have intentions during the trial training." Zhou Qi said confidently.

"Yes, have confidence, this is more important than anything else. I also believe that you will be selected. Although you can't be on the scene, you must celebrate it." Tang Shuai said as he gave Zhou Qi a thumbs up.

"The Chai Team (referring to the leader Chai Wensheng) has said that when the time comes, everyone gathers together to stay in front of the TV, get some champagne, and celebrate on the spot." Wang Zhelin said.

"Well, that's pretty good." Tang Shuai nodded with a smile, first Wang Weixing, and then Chai Wensheng. From the words of the players, we can feel that the leaders of these teams get along well with the players.

I don’t know some details, but I can only feel them after I really touched them. Although I only went to two goals, I could already feel that the atmosphere of this national team is very good. It seems reasonable to be able to win the Asian Championships.

After leaving Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin's room, Tang Shuai then sent the rest of the room.

This feels like visiting the dormitory in the past when I was in college. Different people and different personalities can always talk about it. Once the conversation starts, the grudge that exists among strangers will be eliminated.

The last door to join is Yi Jianlian and Li Muhao.

When he pushed the door open and went in, Li Muhao was taking a shower in the room, and Yi Jianlian was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone.

This national team does not have a very outstanding player, but if you are short, Yi Jianlian is definitely the best one, especially now, his physical and technical skills have reached their peak, and he is also the most stable inside barrier for this national team.

"A Lian." Tang Shuai smiled and greeted Yi Jianlian.

"Ship Tang, you are here, come here to sit down." Yi Jianlian put down his cell phone, pointed to the bed opposite and said.

"You've been back for a while, right?" Tang Shuai asked after sitting down.

"Well, it's been a while." Yi Jianlian nodded and said.

Tang Shuai smiled and found that Yi Jianlian was staring at him blankly. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Well, are you still going to the United States for special training now?" Tang Shuai felt the atmosphere a little awkward and chose a topic to talk about it.

"Yeah, I'm going." Yi Jianlian finished speaking, and then stopped talking.

Tang Shuai was a little crazy. This communication was easy to cause embarrassment. He suddenly understood why Yi Jianlian had certain strength in the United States, but it was difficult to perform well.

"Bang~"

Just then, there was a sound of closing the door, and Li Muhao walked out of the bathroom in his shorts and a bath towel.

"Ship Tang?" When he saw Shuai Tang, Li Muhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When did you come?"

Li Muhao looks shy like Wang Zhelin, but his personality is completely opposite. Compared with Wang Zhelin's shyness, Li Muhao is very talkative in private.

However, this just relieved Tang Shuai's embarrassment and started chatting with Li Muhao.

Li Muhao was a Hope Star a long time ago. His height, arm span and explosive power are very good, but his strength is lacking, and the limitations of the ball quotient can never be played. However, his personality is quite suitable for NBA.

As we chatted, Tang Shuai inevitably felt a little regretful. If Li Muhao's personality was given to Yi Jianlian, maybe Yi Jianlian would still have a place now.

After coming out of their room, Tang Shuai's visit ended. After experiencing it personally, Gong Luming's method was indeed effective. He had not started playing basketball yet, but he had established the most basic bond between them.

After about three days of "communication" training in Beijing, the men's basketball team went to Ningbo Beicang Training Base.

Since Gong Luming coached the men's basketball team, Ningbo Beicang Sports Training Base has become a closed training location for the men's basketball team. In fact, it is not just the men's basketball team. This gymnasium, which was established in 2005, is a place where many national teams conduct closed training.

The team was led by Wang Weixing. His training method was a bit different from what Tang Shuai experienced in the NBA. Although it was not that professional, it was still very interesting. Just grabbing a barbell without getting up with the help of his legs, which caused the players to laugh continuously.

However, the training intensity is indeed great. When Tang Shuai was in Beijing, he had Gong Luming's "free training permit". However, when he arrived in Beicang, he also had the same training content as other team members. This is actually Gong Luming's training principle. It is treated equally. There are no exceptions and it is not required to be completed within a lot of time, but the quantity must be achieved.

The day after day of training was spent in sweat, and the players gritted their teeth and persevered, but Tang Shuai seemed very relaxed. Although he had just finished playing NBA, his training intensity in NBA itself is much stronger than this. In addition, he practiced from time to time, so he didn't feel much.

This made others stunned. They thought he was a super Saiyan reincarnation, which invisibly helped him establish a lot of prestige in the team. At least, when training, if anyone cannot complete it, everyone will urge him to try first.

Time flies, and half a month of closed training is coming to an end in a blink of an eye. After three warm-up matches that are not very meaningful, Tang Shuai and his national teammates began the European training journey that they would take every preparation.

The first stop for training in Europe is Türkiye.

Here, Tang Shuai will also make his debut in the national team warm-up match. Gong Luming did not arrange for him to play in the previous three games because they were not worth much.

Turkey's national men's basketball team, one of the European powerhouses, is a regular visitor to the European Championship. Their peak time was in 2010. They defeated the favorites of France and Serbia in the World Cup held by their own country and reached the final against the United States. The team with Tekoglu as the core staged a miraculous performance in front of home fans.

But since then, the Turkish men's basketball team has gradually declined. Although there are players like Asik and Kanter who play in the NBA, they have never achieved breakthrough results for various reasons. What is even more shocking is that last year, Kanter, who played for the Thunder, was expelled from the national team for publicly criticizing the president, which further deteriorated their strength.

However, such a team is a team with great training value for the Chinese national team.

On June 14, in a foggy weather, Shuai Tang and his national teammates landed at the Istanbul Capital Airport in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. They will usher in a warm-up match with the Turkish national team the next night.

The core of the current Turkish national team is Ilyasova who plays for the Magic and Asik who plays for the Pelicans. In addition, Furkan Aldemir and Semi Elden are both players who have played for the NBA.

The popularity of Turkish players and the national team are no longer as famous as their peak period, but compared to the team, the team's coach Alkin Ataman seems to be more eye-catching.

The coach who took over the coach in 2014 performed well in this year's European Championship. Although he failed to get tickets to the Olympics, he defeated the incredible Latvia in the knockout round and successfully obtained a place for the team to qualify for the undraft.

It is precisely because of this that the head coach with a particularly big mouth seemed very dissatisfied when talking about the warm-up match with the Chinese team: "You know, our goal in summer is to get tickets to the Rio Olympics. For this purpose, the Basketball Association should arrange more warm-up matches with exercise value for us instead of always arranging such commercial matches."

When the reporter who interviewed him reminded that the Chinese national team was a genuine national team and had already obtained a ticket to the Rio Olympics, Ataman waved his hand: "The basketball level in each region is different, and there is only less than a month left in the undraft. At such a critical moment, our opponents should be similar to our strength. The Chinese team does not seem to be within this range. Of course, this is the arrangement of the Basketball Association, and we can only obey, but I still hope that the Basketball Association can realize this."
