Chapter 276 The transformation from Dalinzi to Brother Wang
The next day, coach Deng Huade held a group meeting to welcome Wang Zelin, and there was a group dinner at noon.
During last year's trip to the London Olympics, Wang Zelin's strength had conquered everyone on the national team, so there was no drama.
With strong reinforcements joining, other players in the national team are eager to join.
But in the afternoon, after Wang Zelin watched one of their intra-team competitions, he felt deeply disappointed. They were all flashy and flashy things. The more handsome the dunking posture, the stronger the strength of the iron.
Especially Chen Jianghua and Sun Dasheng, they still had high expectations for them after the London Olympics. Now it seems that their words at that time were in vain.
They are just a bunch of helpless people!
What made Wang Zelin feel a little brighter was his old teammate Guo Ailun from the World Youth Championship.
The current Guo Ailun is not as strong as he was later, but his basic ball control skills are already quite solid. Among the 12-man defenders in the men's basketball team, he is only inferior to Sun Dasheng and Chen Jianghua.
Later Guo Ailun was ridiculed by fans as Guo Buchuan.
This is not to say that Guo Ailun plays alone.
The main reason is that he tends to get hot-headed on the court, does not consider the overall situation when encountering problems, and only thinks about working alone.
In terms of offensive style, Guo Ailun focuses on breakthroughs, and he is used to being the boss in the CBA team. He relies more on his own offense to solve problems, and it has become the norm to take over everything.
However, in the international arena, the gap in physical fitness made Guo Ailun's breakthrough efficiency far less than in the CBA. This attack-oriented style of play gradually turned into a harm to the team.
However, for Wang Zelin, these are not important.
The important thing is that Guo Ailun is different from Chen Jianghua and Sun Dasheng. He is a person of his own generation, both young people.
This means that Guo Ailun still has potential to tap and has enough time to adjust his technical style.
Wang Zelin has no control over the CBA arena, but in the international arena, the Chinese men's basketball team will only have one core in the future, and that is him ~ Wang Zelin!
Why is Guo Ailun called Guo Buchuan?
In addition to fans' daily ridicule that he is easily distracted when playing and likes to play hero ball but fails to score, from another perspective, Guo Ailun's ball control is completely trustworthy.
This is why, in later international men's basketball teams, Guo Ailun was always in control of the ball at critical moments. At least in terms of ball control, the NBA's standards were there.
For Wang Zelin, this is enough!
He doesn't want to be like Yao Ming, who obviously has great martial arts skills, but because no one can put the ball in his hands, the Chinese men's basketball team ultimately loses the game in frustration.
When thinking about this aspect, Wang Zelin felt that he was luckier than Yao Ming. At least he had a tool player with a background in the national team who could safely hand the ball to him.
Of course, the premise is that Guo Ailun, a tool man, doesn't hit the ball easily.
During autonomous training.
After Wang Zelin finished a set of mid-range shooting training, he returned to his position and frowned slightly when he saw Guo Ailun doing three-point training on the court.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
After watching the last group of 50 shots from beginning to end, Guo Ailun's shooting percentage was not bad, only 7 of the 50 shots were missed. I hope Wang Zelin's brows will become more and more frowning.
It's just open shots. He failed to hit 90% of his open shots in 50 attempts. In actual combat, with Guo Ailun's height and physical strength, 10 shots would be considered good.
Seeing Guo Ailun return to the rest area, Wang Zelin waved and said: "Alan, here!"
"Da Linzi? Why is he looking for me?"
Full of doubts, Guo Ailun came over.
Ask yourself, Guo Ailun is envious and jealous of Wang Zelin in his heart.
The first time the two met was at the 2010 U17 World Youth Basketball Competition. At that time, Guo Ailun was not only the captain of the team, but also a golden man who averaged 22.4 points per game and was elected as the scoring champion in the championship. He eventually led the Chinese team.
Achieved the best result in history of 7th place.
Rising star of the future!
I’m talking about Guo Ailun at that time.
On the other hand, Wang Zelin's evaluation from the outside world is that he is just a new insider with great potential.
However, just one year later, the former junior brother led the Fujian Xunxing Club men's basketball team to sweep the entire CBA league with an invincible attitude, and achieved a grand slam of personal honors and team honors, breaking the record of Yao Ming's stay at that time.
Major records in CBA
That's Yao Ming!
That is China Mobile Great Wall, the flagship figure of China Men’s Basketball Team!
When Guo Ailun was still shocked by the storm Wang Zelin brought to the CBA, who knew that the latter would announce his participation in the NBA draft with a high profile...
Then, Wang Zelin’s magical experience is just like the cheating protagonist in the novel...the big roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles!
From then on, Guo Ailun completely lost the courage to chase Wang Zelin's back.
The disparity between the two is so disappointing!
"Hey, Allen, what are you thinking about?"
After Guo Ailun came to him, he was stunned and motionless, and Wang Zelin was instantly stunned.
Otherwise, I'd better find another tool person.
Mr. Guo seems unreliable!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wanted to go to another community just now... By the way, Dalinzi, do you know what's going on here?"
After coming back to his senses, Guo Ailun scratched the back of his head and replied with an embarrassed look.
"Nothing? I just want to ask you something." Wang Zelin waved his hand first, then sat upright, his face quickly turned serious.
"This... you said!"
Guo Ailun was immediately frightened by Wang Zelin's serious look.
After the NBA 2012~2013 season ended, both the country's players and the majority of fans knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the core figure of the Chinese men's basketball team in the next 10 to 15 years could only be Wang Zelin.
Only he has the absolute ability to lead the Tianchao men's basketball team to rise again.
Therefore, Wang Zelin's status in the national team is destined to be special.
Not to mention anything else, during the period after Wang Zelin reported, coach Deng Huade had to go to the toilet and did not follow him. The rest of the time was spent discussing team tactics and player arrangements with Wang Zelin.
This shows how much everyone recognizes Wang Zelin's strength and status in the team.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, do you want to fight?"
Realizing that his tone was a bit serious, Wang Zelin took the initiative to smile.
It's hard to find a tool man, but you can't scare others. In the future, whether it's the Olympics or the World Championships, you will have to rely on him to pass the ball.
What, you mean the Asian Championships?
Don't make trouble. Wang Zelin participated in this kind of small competition once, and it was already a lot of face for him to show off his ideas. With that kind of leisure, why don't you learn a few more foreign languages.
oops!
I almost forgot, I have never experienced the Filipino maid style.
Shouldn't! Shouldn't!
"ah!"
Guo Ailun suddenly opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe his ears.
Let me fight?
Dalinzi, no, Brother Wang wants me to fight!
"I-can I?"
Guo Ailun couldn't help but swallowed.
That’s right!
Who wouldn’t want to fight if I could?
But the problem is that China is a well-known humane society, and all walks of life have a good or bad habit, which is to talk about seniority.
When Liu Wei missed the national team, the No. 1 position fell to Chen Jianghua.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Jianghua's speed and breakthroughs have become worse than ever, no one dares to question his status.
Damn it! If I say you can do it, you can do it!
The above words must not be said face to face. Walls have ears, and you may not know when they will reach Chen Jianghua’s ears.
Although Wang Zelin is not afraid of what Chen Jianghua will do if he finds out, after all, he has the highest position, but he also knows that it is easy for something to happen if strong medicine is used. If one mistake is not allowed, it will cause conflicts between old players and new players...
He still pays more attention to his reputation.
The most important thing is that of course he can't do this kind of thing himself, he has to find a knife.
It seems that Lao Dengtou is very suitable. Anyway, according to the advice he gave to Yao Ming before, it is estimated that foreign teachers will not stay in the Chinese national team for a long time, and domestic coaches are king.
Since I am an outsider, it would be a pity not to take advantage of the last moment.
There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, but only two or three seconds have passed in reality.
Wang Zelin stretched out his hands, put them heavily on Guo Ailun's shoulders, and said earnestly: "Alan, who among us is following whom? To be blunt, some guys are already old, and they are obviously not strong enough but still stand still.
, now is a new era, and what is needed is young people like you and me..."
"What's more, in my opinion, with your potential, you must be the No. 1 player in the national team in the future. If you take the position early, it will be easier for the two of us to get along..."
"In the long run, this approach will be more conducive to improving the country's strength! In the international arena, the national team urgently needs a reliable ball handler, and I also need a reliable helper. I don't
I want to be like Dayao..."
"But this..."
Guo Ailun was hesitant, but Wang Zelin still saw his unwillingness.
Still missing a fire!
He continued: "I have said so much, so just say something that speaks to your heart. Do you really want to do it? If so, I will support you 100%!"
Having said this, Guo Ailun also felt a fire burning in his heart, his face turned red, and he said sonorously: "Think!"
"Hahaha, that's fine!" Wang Zelin said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go find Lao Deng and have a chat with him tonight, and you'll be relieved."
"Um."
After listening, Guo Ailun nodded seriously.
…
Time flies by.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on August 1, the national team officially submitted the list of participants to the conference and also posted it on the official WeChat account. Fans who are always paying attention to the progress of the Asian Championships rushed to inform them first.
Insider combination: Wang Zelin, Yi Jianlian.
This wave is stable!
Small forward Sun Dasheng, shooting guard Wang Shipeng.
Alas, Zhu Ba is old after all, and it is said that he is still injured, so it is understandable that he was not included in the list.
Besides, the great sage’s strength is not bad either.
Point guard Chen Jiang...hey, wait a minute, point guard is Guo Ailun.
Who is this No. 4?
Who is Guo Ailun?
For a time, these two topics caused heated discussions on Weibo.
In just a few hours, the topic had more than a million comments and nearly 10 million clicks.
The terrifying popularity is still rising!
Many fans left messages below in the comment area:
"Why not go to Chen Jianghua?"
"What Guo Ailun, can he control the ball?"
"What is the relationship between Guo Ailun and former national player Guo Shiqiang?"
What's more, the message is unsightly.
"What's your name? It's Allen, half Chinese and half English, totally nondescript? He just loves foreigners..."
"Shocked! The great national team used a back door this year!"
…
Manila National Stadium.
"Brother Wang, am I really okay?"
There were still a few hours before the first game of the Tianchao team. At this time, Guo Ailun seemed restless. It seemed that he was affected by off-field factors.
"It's normal to have doubts. What do you think? You don't know that when I first arrived in Portland, the level of doubt and ridicule I received was much stronger than what you are experiencing now."
Since Guo Ailun was confirmed as a member of the team a few days ago, his life for Wang Zelin has become Brother Wang.
Wang Zelin expressed his willingness to accept this.
He didn't feel uncomfortable because the person calling him brother was one year older than him.
What is this?
I don’t know how many women who are older than Wang Zelin always like to call him daddy instead!
"Relax, when the game comes, all you have to do is to steadily dribble the ball across the half court, and then hand it over to me. This is your task."
"Then what?"
"Then get ready for victory!"
"..."
Wang Zelin's words sounded unreliable, but Guo Ailun's nervous mood immediately calmed down when he thought of the strength that the former showed during the intra-team match some time ago.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are such monsters.
Isn't it just a cold country that can be captured at your fingertips?
…
There is no time difference between Manila and Kyoto, where this Asian Championship is held.
August 1, 17:45 pm.
According to the rules of the Asian Championships, the 16 teams in the group stage are divided into 4 groups and compete in a single round-robin in the first stage. The top three in each group will advance to the second stage of the rematch.
In the second stage, a total of 12 teams will be divided into two groups to compete. The top three points of two groups ab are in group E; the top three points of two groups CD are in group F. In the first stage of the group stage,
Teams that have played against each other will not play against each other again.
Then, the top 4 in each group advance to the quarter-finals and compete for the final ranking.
Most importantly, the top three teams will directly qualify for the 2014 Basketball World Cup.
At the Asian Championships in Manila, the Chinese team was placed in Group C. The other three teams in Group C were Iran, Hanguo and Malaysia.
The first opponent of the Chinese team is Hanguo, and the venue is the National Stadium in Manila.
At this moment, the seats are packed.
Strictly speaking, the Asian Championships is not too important in the international arena, it is just an intercontinental competition.
Especially in the eyes of people in Europe and the United States, the so-called Asian Championships are just a farce of "a short man trying to win over a general" in Asia.
It's heartless, but that's the reality.
Compared with the world's top teams, basketball teams in Asia still lag far behind.
If there is a special meaning, this is the first time Wang Zelin has returned to China to play after going to the NBA. Therefore, although the Asian Championship is held in the capital of the Philippines, more than 1/3 of the fans present are from China.
The introduction of the players began, and Wang Zelin walked in the last place without hesitation. In front of him was the United Arab Emirates.
In sports competition, strength comes first!
No one else can find anything wrong with this, the strength is there.
"Let us welcome the 2012 NBA Rookie of the Year, Mr. All-Star, and Best Second Team winner~the world basketball star from China~Wang Zelin!"
