Although the results in the warm-up match were not good, we did not use our full strength.——XXX wave.
This is just a warm-up match! After losing to Angola, the new head coach of the national team Li Nan said this.——XXX Fox.
We haven’t deployed our best players yet!——XXX pounce.
Still stay optimistic! The warm-up match is just a warm-up! ——XXX Weekly.
…
Seeing these remarks, Tang Qian was actually a little worried. Because he didn't play, everyone thought that the national team was not using its full strength at all. It was just for fun. But is this really the case? Except for Yi Jian
Apart from Lian, who didn't use all his strength, the rest of the people may not be like this. At least, they used 70% to 80% of their strength. However, so far, from the warm-up match in July to now, they have won one game. That's still
Alian was angry that time and used all her strength to win.
In other words, if A-Lian doesn't exert her strength, then she will probably lose in that game.
Can a team that has been almost completely defeated all the way become invincible just because of his participation?
What are you thinking about?
Forgot that sentence? Basketball is for five people! This is a team sport!
The key is that Tang Qian disagrees with the practices of the team's coaching staff off the court. For example, the coaching staff led by Li Nan, for some reason, is extremely superstitious about the combination of three queens! Yes, this method is also used in the NBA.
It is often used. Didn’t this year’s NBA Finals once appear, and both sides used the three-guard play? The former time and space champion Raptors also used it. Therefore, this usage is not a problem, the problem is
In... he used the back three too long.
Moreover, it is almost superstitious.
Yes, the Raptors have relied on this to achieve extraordinary results. However, first of all, you have to understand that this is not "increasing the enemy's ambition and destroying one's own prestige". You have asked yourself and the players on the team, except
Are Tang Qian, Yi Jianlian, and the rest of the players on the same level as the Raptors? Is the national team's back line the same level as the Raptors' back line? Since then, since the state was not good, why did you
No substitution?
This issue is very confusing.
But as the head coach, Tang Qian still showed great patience and respect. After all, it was only a few games and nothing could be seen. But by mid-August, Tang Qian could no longer bear it. After losing,
After giving it to Angola, they lost to Croatia and Puerto Rico. Because of this matter, Tang Qian gave him his feedback directly, but Li Nan said to him, why don't you go? Although you are very awesome,
But it still needs to be adjusted, right?
Tang Qian replied: If I join, these teams are too fragile and have no training effect.
Tang Qian's words are not a shirk, because almost all the second team or half of the main players are up to the task. Under such circumstances, it would be very embarrassing and unnecessary for you to have a full main force. Besides, the current national men's basketball team
In addition to himself, isn’t Alian already on the team? What else? There aren’t many teams with such a neat lineup.
But Li Nan needs a record. This is his first time on such a big stage, and he needs the support of winning. Unfortunately, Tang Qian is not a person who will change his mind easily. Especially this guy is not too polite to him. Then, he
I don’t have any friendship with you, so why should I waste time and energy on going up there for your “political achievements”? The main reason is as mentioned before, they are all in the second team and semi-main lineup, so what are you going to do? If you beat them up, what happens next?
What are the principles of the warm-up match? What is its significance? Is it good to train troops? If you go up on your own, is it still called training?
Besides, Tang Qian just wants to find out thoroughly how good the team is without him.
This way he won't have more expectations in his heart.
If there are no expectations, there won’t be too many disappointments.
This was the second time the two had quarreled, and they still broke up on bad terms, but now everything had to take the overall situation first, so both parties also maintained relative restraint, and the next day it was as if nothing had happened, and nothing was said.
However, you can see that Li Nan's coaching staff did not take Tang Qian's words to heart. Instead, they directly increased the playing time of the three guards. Isn't this intentional? Coincidentally, the men's basketball team finally won the warm-up match
The ball was scored, a 7-point victory over Angola.
This made Li Nan feel even more proud. He looked at No. 29 and thought to himself:
Don’t you mean that my playing style is not good? Don’t you think that your own ideas are the best? How about now? Facts speak louder than words.
Not only that, he also won a match against an Australian club!
Then they defeated Brazil, France, and Cote d'Ivoire in one go.
A wave of 5 consecutive victories came to an end! Although the previous record was not good, the last wave made Li Nan's coaching staff instantly gain everyone's trust and support! Li Nan was also high-spirited at the press conference.
He said: Our lineup this year is very good. We will select the best and keep the strongest players! Believe us, the game at home will not be worse than in 2008.
And he also specially cut Tang Qian, who barely played in the warm-up match, and said:
It seems like we don't need the world's strongest center to still play well.
Haha, is that right? In the last two games, you went up to the team yourself and had to fight. In addition, among the three opponents in front of you, when did you not play against someone else’s second team? Especially the Brazilian team, which is considered a third team.
Team up, okay! Only half of the second team came!
If such a team wins, so what?
What level does it represent? The national football team is still known as the "King of Warm-up Matches". As for the result, can't everyone see it?
What can such a level represent? It cannot represent anything.
It's a pity that everyone has been carried away now. Suddenly, they really felt that the national team was very strong this year and the head coach was also very capable. Tang Qian, however, was not polite at all and said in an interview with reporters:
The warm-up match does not mean anything. Our opponents did not field a very good lineup to play against us. I suggest that everyone should stay calm and not be dazzled by the results in front of them.
Naturally, these words seemed to be a deliberate attempt to play devil's advocate and to go against the coaching staff.
Forget it, it doesn't matter that we have different opinions. The key is that there is still friction behind it, and it is very fierce. There is almost no concession to each other.
Because the groupings have been released a long time ago. In mid-March, "Koi Yue" drew a very good grouping for the men's basketball team, so this is why everyone didn't think qualifying was a problem at all. But Tang Qian felt something was wrong.
, mainly because when the 12-man roster is about to be announced at the end of the month, Yan Yufeng is directly kicked out. To be honest, this is not the first time. After calculation, he has a share in almost every cut. And Tang
After looking at the data and combining it with his performance on the field, he believed that he should not be played at all.
This is irresponsible to the national team.
And since he saw something was wrong, he had to stand up and speak out. Although the captain is Alian, which is the tradition of the national team, and the senior one should be the captain, but the core boss is Tang Qian who does his part. Otherwise, it is in vain.
So, when he raised this issue, he was rejected. At this time, Tang Qian was completely angry. It is said that I don’t know whether it is true or not. After being invited out, he came back the next day.
I asked him once, but this time Li Nan didn't see him directly, saying that he was very slow and wanted to have a final meeting with the coaching staff. However, no matter how busy he is, can he still be busy with such a big thing as confirming the personnel? Without the right people, your coach will not be able to play well.
use.
Besides, do you think you guys are having a good time?
Yes, yes, it is now said that although he is a new head coach, his strict style and tough coaching style, coupled with his rich experience in competitions and players, allow him to quickly get familiar with it. The last five consecutive wins in the warm-up match
, also represents his adjustment ability and reading ability! Anyway, just... blow hard. This is also a common practice in China. Before the fight, blow one by one, which makes Tang Qian embarrassed. Once the fight is over
Well, it’s just a blast of curses, as if what I’ve said before and what I’ve written are all farts.
Either it is praised or criticized, it is really "domestic".
Take a look at these media headlines, each of which tells the players:
Tang Qian, Emperor Tang, the leader of the national team, the best center in the world, the best man in the world, relying on the sky, who can compete with him.
Forget it, after all, Tang Qian is so arrogant. Although this seems exaggerated, when you think about it, it is all true.
Then there is Alian, Kong Kong Yi, the leader of the national team, a strong NBA player, and the mainstay of the national team. His excellent international experience can make him shine this time. He will form the strongest insider group with Tang Qian!
Well, for my family, there is nothing wrong with exaggerating. In the past, this word seemed to be used to talk about Chairman Yao + Ambition. Now it is used, and there is no big problem. Alian's strength, if not for herself, is definitely the national team
The boss. In the international arena, he also has enough games to prove that he is one of the strongest international players.
Okay, so far, I’m starting to get into some words that seem increasingly irrelevant, such as:
Demon King Zhou, Big Devil, leader of the national team, NBA player, the new generation inside king of the national team, he will be one of the strongest defenders of the national team. The super inside barrier formed by him and Yi Jianlian Tang Qian is enough to compete
The "Mobile Great Wall" back then had an inside team. It had extremely strong defensive capabilities and could defend from one to five!
To, to five??? One to five??? Bragging, isn’t it? But these are really the exact words of some websites and self-media. Tang Qian thought he was teaming up with some NBA superstar defensive star.
.Also, NBA player? Isn’t this what he will be after this season ends? What is the NBA? Is it so difficult to add a "front"? Blindly adding gold will only make people feel awkward.
The people who followed were even more so, their comments and comments were eye-catching, with a strong UA browser style, which made everyone stunned for a moment.
Wang Zhelin, the king, has a strong body, a tough style of play, excellent skills in the low post, and is an indispensable interior substitute. His performance may help the national team overcome some difficulties.
Excellent technical floor flow? No, can't we just say that he has no athletic ability, slow reaction, and not flexible enough? Your one-point ability must be blown up to ten points by you. Why didn't you calculate the ability to spit out fragrance?
Let's go in. But the king's ability is among the remaining people, and he can actually be regarded as the general among the dwarfs. It is not bad.
The rest are even more mindless:
Guo Wanghong, Asia's number one guard, has NBA-level personal abilities, sharp breakthroughs, increasingly mature shooting ability, and strong scoring ability, which can make him a reliable helper for the national team's inside players. He has a heavy burden this year.
Performance determines the final height of the entire men's basketball team. You said this about him, have you figured out who is the real core? Also, have you seen his warm-up game data? Do you really think that his shooting ability is getting better and better?
Mature?
Zhao Rui is good at attacking tough battles and tough battles. He is one of the top defenders on the outside. We can look forward to his performance when we are in trouble.
Zhao Jiwei, the helmsman of the men's basketball team, has excellent vision, a calm mind, and precise shooting, allowing him to judge the opponent's intentions at all times. The men's basketball team relies on him to read the game.
Zhai Xiaochuan, an excellent offensive and defensive striker, a bench talent of the men's basketball team.
Fang Suo is the top swingman in the country, a three-point marksman, and the strongest outside supporter of the national team.
Ren Jifei is the top swingman in the country, with strong confrontation ability and good basket skills. This is his magic weapon that can stand up and help the team at critical moments.
…
After this pass, Tang Qian felt that he was surrounded by elite soldiers and elites everywhere. With so many "heroes" around him, there was no need to worry about big things happening! He would definitely be beaten hard all the way, except for the American team.
No one is the same!
Unfortunately, the real situation is probably very different.
Because Tang Qian has observed more than a dozen warm-up matches this time, he has already discovered the problem. This time the players don’t know if they have too much time for leisure and entertainment, so the basic skills are not as mysterious as what is said on the Internet. On the contrary.
In Tang Qian's eyes, it's very bad, very bad. Let me just say the simplest one. Do you know which team has the worst free throw shooting rate in this World Cup? The answer is...
Our so-called team is full of elite players. In the warm-up match, we were actually at the bottom.
But the head coach doesn't take this aspect seriously at all. He just shouts tactics and conducts tactical drills every day. It seems that if he doesn't do this, he would be sorry for his position. Just ask you, you can say, domestic technical and tactical
The level is not as good as others. You can say that domestic training level is not as good as others. You can say that domestic basketball is still in the development stage. You can even say that the so-called "ethnology" is here. But after all, these things are not
It affects one thing, and that is basic skills.
This has nothing to do with these.
In the past, the basic skills of the national players were quite solid. Now, they can't even make free throws. Can you tell me what level, race, or other players are inferior to others? Without confrontation, free throw shooting percentage,
Being ranked last in the World Cup can only mean one thing, that is, it is bad. It means that the training is not hard enough, not enough, and the muscle memory is not strong enough.
Think about it, when did the men's basketball team have to worry about free throws? If it weren't for the solid free throws in 2004, would it have beaten Serbia and Montenegro in the end?
Free throws are the representative of basic skills, unless you really have no talent, and generally speaking, this is a situation that only happens to super big men. Small people, or except for big insiders, basically this kind of thing should not happen. Okay.
Well, even if some of you are just born unable to activate this skill tree, then I would like to ask, is it possible that among the dozen or so people selected at once, none of them can make free throws and can make sure shots? If that's the case
, then what kind of national player level is called the best among the best?
I remember hearing a joke when I was a kid: If you can't even shoot free throws, how can you play basketball?
Slam dunk masters also say that free throws are a way of giving away points and the easiest way to score.
But it's a pity that our national players just don't have this ability and they can't make free throws well.
To put it simply, since Yao Ming retired in 2010, his free throw shooting rate has plummeted. Before, the average free throw shooting rate was more than 80%, and then dropped to 70%. Then it dropped to the current 60%. The free throw shooting rate in the warm-up game was over 60%.
It's a very problematic thing. But the coaching staff didn't pay attention to it. There was too much emphasis on tactical coordination, and they forgot that basic skills are the foundation of basketball. Without a strong basic skills as a guarantee, any increase in tactical intensity will be in vain.
.
The highest free throw shooting rate in the entire warm-up match was only 75%. If the old national team saw this, they would probably laugh out loud. Doing the simplest calculation, if 60% of the free throws can be made, that's a lot.
The Jiaozuo game will not be lost at all. Unfortunately, Li Nan's coaching staff still doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, and still keeps using his "horn tactics" and "diamond tactics".
There were also rumors about the feud between the generals. Nowadays, the Internet is so developed that in less than an hour, almost everyone knew about it. At this time, Yao Ming had to stand up to mediate, but Li Nan was quite stubborn.
, this aspect is very similar to his court style. However, you are the coach now, okay? You have no qualifications at all, you are just a newbie, okay? Tang Qian saw that the other party was non-negotiable.
In a strong tone, he immediately said that this person must stay.
Don't you obey the coaching staff's arrangements? Are you trying to be a big star?
I think this is for the good of the entire team. You have to know that it is our players who are playing, not your coaches. There are no outsiders here. Let me tell you the truth in front of Brother Yao. Without you, someone else
It’s okay to be a coach. Do you think it’s okay without me?
you……
What do I do?
The conflict broke out directly between the two, but fortunately both of them came out openly. After all, it seemed to be just a dispute of ideas. Although it was fierce, it was for the good of the team. So Yao Ming still tried his best to reconcile. In the end, Tang Qian still achieved
The upper hand, Yan Yufeng was saved. But one thing is obvious. Because of this incident, Yan Yufeng's situation will become very embarrassing. The coaching staff and players probably all think that he is shameless because of his connections.
What remains.
Regarding this, Tang Qian didn't explain it at all and just let Yan Yufeng suffer it alone.
When Yi Jianlian asked this question, Tang Qian said directly:
If you can't handle this little pressure, why bother playing in the NBA? Return to China as soon as possible to retire.
Only when you are under pressure can you be motivated. It is too loose. Look at these countries in China. Who is not eating, drinking and having fun? The girls are flying around? This is even more unnecessary.
Well, since Tang Qian said this, Yi Jianlian nodded and said nothing. He knew that others had training methods and intentions. He was no longer the boss, so he didn't have to worry about so much. And he had been the boss for so many years.
The boss of the team knew very well that his own tactics were totally ineffective. Perhaps it was the tough leadership styles of Yao Ming and Tang Qian that allowed the entire team to put aside their prejudices and become one.
There are too many small factions in the country, and he is also aware of this. Unfortunately, he is unable to solve this problem. Let's see if this man can do it.
On August 30, the opening ceremony was launched and held at the Imperial Swimming Center.
It can be seen that we attach great importance to it this time. There are a lot of big guys here, so this also means that the task is very heavy.
The mascot, the Son of Dreams, came out and ignited the atmosphere of the audience. The game at home was different. It was completely different from the last time I went to Brazil. Tang Qian asked, was it the same in 2008? Yi Jianlian nodded, that was also his case.
A classic memory of a generation of basketball people. After that, the men's basketball team entered a long period of low ebb. It wasn't until Tang Qian joined the team in 2016 that he returned to the game. This time it was at home again, Yi
Jianlian will inevitably have some mood swings.
Because, of the group back then, he is the only one who is still on the team now.
The rest of the people have already left the front line.
Tang Qian seemed to feel something, patted Alian on the shoulder, and then waited for the opening ceremony to proceed.
An hour later, it was all over, and the national team’s lineup was as follows:
Tomorrow, August 31st, Imperial City time, the first round of Group A, the national team VS Cote d'Ivoire.
On September 2, the second opponent is Poland.
On September 4, the third opponent is Venezuela.
On September 6, the fourth opponent was Bangzi Country.
On September 8, the last opponent in the group stage was Nigeria.
For the rest, we have to wait until we get the line before we can continue to know the meaning.
9 years ago, we played against them in the World Cup in Turkey. It should not have been called the World Championship at that time. It was the first World Series in the post-Yao Ming era, and then the only victory was won by
This African team. And because of various strange reasons and magical luck, a victory in one game still allowed the men's basketball team to qualify. Therefore, it should be regarded as a team with a relatively "psychological advantage".
but……
"Don't take it lightly, Alian." When Tang Qian and Yi Jianlian returned to the hotel, they suddenly said: "We must win this game, otherwise we don't know what will happen next. If you win, you will be safe. Don't count on it.
The good things of 2010 are happening again."
"How many games do you think is enough?" Yi Jianlian also stopped and asked.
"The more the better. One game is not enough anyway. Maybe two games are not enough either. Who knows."
"Get a good rest, we will take the first shot as the host tomorrow."
"The first shot at the doorstep needs to be louder."
After saying that, the two of them walked into the men's basketball team hotel and went to have an early rest.
