A thin young man sat in the corner of the cafeteria of Pengcheng Sports School. He stared intently at the TV hanging on the wall. Sun Yiping's unique voice came from the TV.
Last year, he and his partners signed up for a street basketball tournament in Pengcheng, but were eliminated in the first round. However, a coach on the sidelines, Dai Yixin, noticed his basketball potential.
Since then he came to Pengcheng Sports School to train.
At first, his idol was Wang Zhizhi. Because of Wang Zhizhi, he knew about the NBA, so he would stay in front of the TV every morning and wait to see if there would be an NBA game broadcast that day. As a result, what was broadcast today was not the NBA, but a game between an NCAA team and China.
A game between the men's basketball national youth teams.
"What we are broadcasting for you now is a friendly match between the Chinese Men's National Youth Basketball Team and the Gonzaga University Bulldogs in Spokane, USA. This is also the first time we have broadcast a match between Chinese basketball and American college basketball."
"Today we also invited Director Zhang Weiping to commentate and comment on the game with me. Now I would like to ask Director Zhang to comment for us before the game."
Zhang Weiping appeared on TV wearing a black suit.
"I think friends who often follow basketball should know about the Chinese Men's National Youth Basketball Team. The players in this team are the youngest players from all CBA teams. They will be the backbone of Chinese basketball in the future.
The team's head coach is Wang Fei, and Wang Fei's coaching philosophy is accurate! He requires players to have higher shooting quality. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, who reached the NCAA Final Four last year, cannot be underestimated.
watch for."
"Which team is Director Zhang more optimistic about?" Sun Yiping asked.
Zhang Weiping laughed: "It's hard to say, the charm of basketball is here, no one can judge the winner or lose before the final whistle blows. Psychologically, of course I hope that the Chinese National Youth Team can win the game, but still
It depends on both sides who plays more ideally and who plays more reasonably."
"Okay, the two teams have entered the field, let's take a look at the performance of the two teams."
Following Sun Yiping's words, the TV screen cut to the stadium.
Players from both teams came on stage to warm up.
Wang Shipeng takes every three-point shot seriously and strives to find the shooting feeling as quickly as possible.
Zhu Fangyu was looking around.
"Is this game really being broadcast?"
Wang Shipeng thought for a moment and said, "I heard it was..."
"Okay, I know."
Wang Shipeng glanced at Zhu Fangyu in surprise and saw him pick up the basketball and rush towards the basket.
The camera caught him just right.
"Boom!"
A powerful and heavy dunk, although it can't fly very high, but it has a strong sense of power.
After seeing it, Blake Stepp on the opposite side was eager to give it a try.
Casey Green pulled him down: "Don't make trouble, today is Lu Yu's home court."
Blake Step immediately turned around and encouraged Lu Yu: "Lu, you can also dunk one!"
Lu Yu glanced sideways at his opponent, Zhu Fangyu, and shook his head in rejection: "No, I'm different from him. I can dunk during the game. He may be afraid that the dunk will fly during the game."
The warm-up was over and everyone gathered around Mark Foyo.
"You guys are starting this game: Casey Green, Mark Spink, Dan Dickau, Lu Yu...and Blake Stepp, you are playing small forward in this game, come on, come on!
"
Black didn't expect that he would start the game. Although he had played as a small forward before, this was his first appearance as a starter. This made him a little excited. He even jumped in an exaggerated way when he ran out of the tunnel.
Break dance.
The starting center of the National Youth Team is Moko, who is 210 centimeters tall, but he seemed a little nervous and actually let Casey Green jump to the basketball unexpectedly. Casey Green passed the ball to Dan Dickau, who was steady.
He took possession of the ball past half-time, and just after half-time, he consciously passed the ball to Lu Yu at a 45-degree angle.
As soon as the ball came into Lu Yu's hands, Wang Shipeng immediately came up to press.
"Oops, I almost forgot to introduce to you, Gonzaga's starting shooting guard is also Chinese. His name is Lu Yu, and he is the son of the famous Chinese men's basketball player Lu Chaoyang."
"That's right."
Sun Yiping rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "To be honest, I was surprised when I saw the information before the game. I even checked Lu Yu's regular season data at Gonzaga. Director Zhang, guess what?
"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Weiping asked.
"I was shocked. Lu Yu averaged 29 points and 7 assists per game. He is the first player in scoring and third in assists in the NCAA West Coast League. He is really a formidable young player." Sun Yiping looked a little excited when he said this.
You must know that when I received the broadcasting task, as a host who has been involved in the system all year round, I could tell at a glance that this broadcast was a stepping stone thrown by the NCAA to CCTV.
The reason why Gonzaga was selected must be because there is a Chinese player in Gonzaga. Maybe this Chinese player will be a substitute at Gonzaga.
But when he saw Lu Yu's data, he was stunned.
What the hell is this a substitute?
Even if this data is directly used in the NBA draft, it is possible to enter the first round, right?
China’s next NBA player, the next NBA-level defender!
Still a player not controlled by the Basketball Association!
What a wonderful thing!
"Oh, this data is incredible. If you participate in the NBA draft, you will basically be able to enter the NBA. Teacher Sun, we are fortunate to be able to broadcast this game today, but you have to take a closer look." Of course Zhang Weiping knew Sun Yiping.
The idea, in fact, he was not excited about it.
During the conversation between the two, Lu Yu had already made a feint to break through Wang Shipeng, and then passed the ball to Dan Dickau who came in, and Dan Dickau scored the ball with a simple mid-range jumper.
When returning to the offensive end of the National Youth Team, Moko finally stopped being nervous and relied on his height advantage in the paint to easily score a point.
2:2 flat.
The basketball was directly inserted into the inside by Dan Dickau. Casey Green received the ball and did not rush to attack. Instead, he passed the ball to Lu Yu. After the basketball was passed, he suddenly used his strength to squeeze into the basket.
After receiving the ball, Lu Yu flicked his wrist, and the basketball was sent to Casey Green's hands like a cannonball.
Casey Green caught the ball and turned over for a powerful dunk.
"The ball was played very reasonably, inside out, which is what we often call score and play, from outside to inside, inside to outside, and then back. Gonzaga played very clearly." Zhang Weiping nodded.
Before Casey Green had time to be happy, the Chinese Men's National Youth Basketball Team quickly served the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. After a few simple passes, No. 8 Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
5:4
Sun Yiping couldn't help but sigh in the broadcast booth: "Zhu Fangyu from Hongyuan is really accurate. Since Wang Fei came to the National Youth Team, the National Youth Team has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Du Feng are three
Hongyuan players got the opportunity to start and performed particularly well. If Wang Fei had been allowed to take over earlier, he might not have been unable to qualify for the World Youth Championship this year. Okay, let's get back to the game, Gonzaga Bulldogs
Small forward Blake Stepp seemed to be on a collision course with Zhu Fangyu, and he also hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The score is now 5:7."
Zhang Weiping added: "It was Lu Yu who passed the ball to Blake Stepp, which means that in just over a minute after the start of the game, almost all Gonzaga's offense was controlled by Lu Yu, and Lu Yu had already scored three times
Assist, now he has not scored, I wonder if the National Youth Team can successfully open the score when Gonzaga's leading scorer has no desire to score?"
The two sides were going back and forth, and the pace of the fight was not slow.
Half of the first quarter passed quickly, and the score was very anxious, 12:10
The National Youth Team leads by two points.
Zhu Fangyu scored six points, Wang Shipeng scored two points, Moko scored two points, Du Feng scored two points, and Liu Wei did not score, but got one assist.
The camera was focused on Lu Yu at this time. His expression was very calm and he didn't seem to be in any hurry.
In the cafeteria of Pengcheng Sports School, the young man in front of the TV felt indescribable envy when he saw these players on the court, especially Gonzaga's No. 10 named Lu Yu. The commentator said that he should be able to enter the NBA steadily.
.
NBA, young people also want to enter...
"Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian, Coach Dai is looking for you!" Someone shouted his name at the door of the cafeteria.
The young man turned around and responded, a little reluctant to leave the TV. Lu Yu had not scored yet. He wanted to see what kind of scoring ability Lu Yu had, so that everyone would think that Lu Yu could enter the NBA.
The rising sun outside the window shone on the young man's face through the glass, and he secretly made a decision under his silent face.
“After watching the first quarter, it’s the first quarter.”
