Chapter 147 The agreement between Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming
The difference between the word "big brother" and "big man" is completely different.
Lu Yu also guessed who the big brothers Hu and Yao mentioned by Wang Zhizhi were—the two legends of Chinese basketball, Hu Weidong and Yao Ming.
Half an hour later,
As soon as Lu Yu arrived at the place where Wang Zhizhi told him, he was unexpectedly surrounded by fans.
"It's Lu Yu, Lu Yu is here..."
I don't know which beauty let out a scream.
This almost frightened Lu Yu to death. He waved his hands quickly and said: "I'm sorry, you got the wrong person. I have been mistaken for the wrong person many times because I look like Lu Yu..."
"Really?" The beauty stared at Lu Yu doubtfully for a long time.
"Really, I'm really not Lu Yu. Hey, it's really annoying to look like a celebrity." Lu Yu looked up to the sky and sighed.
The beauty then let Lu Yu leave, but after taking two steps, several more girls chased after her, holding Lu Yu's posters in their hands: "He is Lu Yu, I have his poster, and I carry it with me every day, you
Can you sign your name for me?"
The girl in front became anxious when she heard this: "He said he's not Lu Yu?"
"No way, you have been deceived. He is Lu Yu. I sleep with his poster every day. There is no way I can admit my mistake."
But at this time Lu Yu had disappeared around the corner of the street.
Lu Yu, who fled into the restaurant, immediately covered his head with a hoodie to prevent fans from recognizing him. He did not take off his hat until he entered the box.
Inside the house, Hu Weidong stood up and gave Lu Yu a hug: "Welcome home."
Lu Yu was a little embarrassed. After all, Hu Weidong's feelings for him were based on Lu Chaoyang. He himself had no special feelings for Hu Weidong except that Hu Weidong was a legend of the Chinese men's basketball team.
No, there is another one.
Lu Yu was from Pengcheng in both his previous life and his current life, and he was fellow villager with Hu Weidong.
"Let me introduce you."
Wang Zhizhi stood up, pointed at Yao Ming and said: "This is Yao Ming, I usually call him Big Yao, the center of the Shanghai Sharks, and the MVP of this year's CBA Finals."
Wang Zhizhi's words were a bit sour. Originally, the MVP should have been his.
Yao Ming stood up and held Lu Yu's hand: "Hello Lu Yu, I have heard of you a long time ago. I really envy you and Lao Wang to play in the NBA. I want to go too."
Wang Zhizhi: "Don't call me Lao Wang, I'm not old!"
Lu Yu: "..."
I'm afraid Wang Zhizhi still doesn't know how good it is to be called Lao Wang.
The four of them chatted less and sat down to eat and chat. They talked about Wang Zhizhi and Lu Yu's life in the NBA, interesting things about Lu Chaoyang when he was playing in the CBA, and the upcoming China game.
After three rounds of tea, there are five flavors of food.
Hu Weidong solemnly raised the cup in his hand and said with tea instead of wine: "I am really happy to be able to gather with you three future stars of the Chinese men's basketball team today. You are the future hope of the Chinese men's basketball team.
I hope you can cooperate sincerely in the future and create a prosperous era for the Chinese men's basketball team."
"It's necessary." The three of them replied one after another.
Hu Weidong drank this cup of tea, and then sighed and said: "Men's basketball is not easy. We old guys managed to make it to the end of the Sydney Olympics and only got tenth place. But we old guys
This guy can't last much longer."
Neither Wang Zhizhi nor Yao Ming took up the conversation.
They all know that in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Chinese men's basketball team actually had problems with the alternation of old and new players for several years.
Lu Yu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "The problem of the system determines the inevitable pain of player replacement."
Hu Weidong was stunned. He originally thought that Lu Yu would not understand these issues since he was in the United States. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu not only understood them, but also saw them thoroughly.
Many people know that there are problems with the replacement of old and new players, but few can say that it is because of physical problems.
They only finished tenth in the Sydney Olympics. The domestic media would say it was because their opponents were too strong and the Chinese men's basketball team had bad luck in the match against the French men's basketball team. Otherwise, the runner-up would have been China instead of France.
In fact, even if China defeats France, it may not be able to reach the end.
Strength dictates.
"Yes, players must go through pain when changing generations." Hu Weidong took another sip of water. For some reason, every time he talked about this issue, he felt a little angry: "Actually, just talk to the older generation of coaches and find money.
Mr. Qian from Chenghai and Mr. Yang asked Mr. Yang Boyong. They all know that the national team has a cycle. To complete a task, the old and the new must alternate. After the national team completes its task, one-third of the people will be replaced, and another one will be replaced.
The task of replacing another third of the people requires constant replacement of old and new people. For any team that is ever prosperous, this echelon construction is very mature."
"Look at us again. After 2000, our group of players should have come down. But in this year's Asian Championship, we are still playing. There are only two newcomers, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong and me.
Fighting, can't I see what kind of state I am in this season? Liu Yudong's knees make it difficult to even walk. He won the Asian Championships this year, but what about next year's World Championships, and the 2004 Athens Olympics... Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have been competing for a few years.
Are the new people still growing?”
The more Hu Weidong talked, the more angry he became.
"In the first two years, the league has to make way for competitions such as the Olympic Games, Asian Games, World Championships, and Asian Championships. Whenever there is a big competition, we start to build echelons, U16, U18, not even the league, they all come to train for me, and train well.
The seeds have been taken away, so why play in the league?"
"We need a more complete youth training system!"
Hu Weidong looked at Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, and sighed deeply.
"But sports reform is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and we are not officials of the Basketball Association."
Hu Weidong smiled bitterly: "I was also inspired by the fact that Lu Yu did not play in the Asian Championships and used his own influence to test the pressure of the Basketball Association. I found that only with greater influence can I wake up those who are pretending to be asleep in the system.
.”
"And you will be the most influential people in the future of Chinese basketball."
…
When Lu Yu returned to the hotel, he was lying on the bed. On the left was Artest's snoring, and on the right was Chandler's sizzling instant noodles.
It was originally a double room, but the two of them insisted on adding an extra bed in the name of discussing tactics with Lu Yu, so that the three of them slept in one room.
Lu Yu couldn't sleep. He looked at the ceiling and thought about what Hu Weidong said at night.
He didn't know how to change the future of Chinese basketball because this problem was not solved until he traveled through time.
However, Yao Ming made some changes after becoming the chairman of the Basketball Association.
One of the most significant effects is the combination of physical education and education.
Lu Yu doesn’t know whether the combination of sports and education can solve the problem of talent gap in China’s men’s basketball team, or even whether proposing the combination of sports and education at this time will hinder the development of talent.
After all, there are too many problems with the development of Chinese basketball.
There is a serious disconnect between players and coaches, the basketball system is not perfect, the development of professional leagues is abnormal, and players’ registration ages are false. The development of domestic basketball cannot be solved by a combination of sports and education.
Many people have a misunderstanding that the foundation of Chinese basketball is very good and the foundation of the pyramid is very solid. It is true that there are more and more fans who like to play wild basketball in recent years. But 90% of Chinese basketball fans do not even play the entire game.
After a few times, we just played 3v3 in the half court, let alone any chance to receive professional training.
No matter how large the population of wild ball enthusiasts is, it has nothing to do with the youth basketball training system. The players of the world's top teams such as Serbia, Spain, Lithuania, and Italy have excellent confrontation abilities, but their physical fitness in running and jumping is not much better than that of Asians.
European defenders are not as fast as Jeremy Lin, but their confrontation ability can be trained.
They are based on the basis of the players' excellent basic skills, excellent technical and tactical qualities, and excellent teamwork. Although they are not as talented as Americans, European players are not inferior to Americans in terms of tactical literacy, teamwork, and basic skills.
, players produced in Europe are often representatives of the NBA with excellent skills and high golf intelligence.
European basketball will become more and more powerful, and it is inseparable from their extremely complete, rigorous and scientific youth professional training system. This is the most worthy part for China to learn from.
However, in terms of national conditions, it is still difficult to copy the European model.
How many people in China are willing to endure the terrifying pressure to go to higher schools and send their children to families where they receive a lot of training every week?
How many qualified grassroots basketball coaches are there?
How many amateur and youth leagues are there?
How many clubs have a complete youth selection and training mechanism?
To put it bluntly, the domestic basketball system is out of touch with the people. It is still a "national system". The current popularity of the basketball market has not fundamentally touched the long-standing system.
Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming made an agreement under the witness of Hu Weidong - no matter who among the three can have an influence in the NBA in the future, they will use their respective influence to find a way out for the development of Chinese basketball.
As for where this way out is, it is still unknown.
But Lu Yu feels that the agreement itself is their love for basketball and their expectations for Chinese basketball.
At least it is still the golden age of the Chinese men's basketball team. There is a talent explosion. Dayao, Da Zhi, Yi Jianlian, Liu Wei, and Zhu Fangyu have emerged. Although the youth training of the men's basketball team is not that good, there will at least be relatively high-quality rookies like Zhang Qingpeng, Zhou Peng, and Chen Jianghua in the future.
, plus resting on one’s laurels, there is still a lot of time to try.
At least you don't have to wait until ten years later to regret it, and then spend the darkest ten years in abuse.
Lu Yu sighed. He was different from Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi relied on their own talents. Yao Ming didn't have to worry. After next year, he would be able to show off his skills in the NBA.
It's hard to say about Wang Zhizhi, but the current him is definitely more likely than the Wang Zhizhi in his previous life.
As for myself, if I want to go further, in addition to my own efforts, I still have to rely on the improvement of Golden Finger.
He opened the system panel and took a look at the current breathing method progress.
[Host: Lu Yu]
[Water breathing method: 71%]
[Thunder Breathing Technique: 66%]
[Fire Breathing Method: 58%]
[Wind breathing method: 19%]
After several preseason games, although the progress bars of Water Breathing and Thunder Breathing have increased, they are not enough to increase by 1%, while Fire Breathing has increased by 1%, and Wind Breathing has increased by 2%.
.
It's still too slow. Maybe if you want to improve significantly, you really have to wait until the regular season or the playoffs.
The intensity of the preseason is still not enough.
…
In a daze, Lu Yu fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he received a call from Ding Shizhong.
One is to do a promotional event with Anta, and the other is to shoot a series of advertisements for Anta's basketball shoes, especially Lu Yu's first-generation basketball shoes.
After hanging up the phone and just after breakfast, Anta sent a car to pick him up. Lu Yu had no choice but to ask for leave from the head coach. Today was the time for everyone to rest and wander around, so Floyd didn't embarrass Lu Yu.
Lu Yu’s vacation was immediately approved.
Finish the promotional activities first, and then shoot the commercials.
Lu Yu didn’t remember what kind of poses he had put in. Anyway, the filming was completed without much delay. After the filming was completed, the director even left a business card in a sentimental way, hoping to have the opportunity to collaborate with Lu Yu again in the future.
7 p.m. Capital time, Magic City Stadium.
The preseason China Derby between the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks has officially kicked off.
