You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

On the evening of August 8th, at a star theater in Indianapolis, USA.

All the members of the Chinese team participating in this year's Men's Basketball Asian Championships are gathering in a cinema to watch a movie.

The start time of the 2002 Men's Basketball World Championships is August 8th. As usual, the training intensity will not be too high a few days before the game, and there is even some leisure time. The men's basketball players who have practiced hard for more than four months naturally want to work hard. Can relax.

But even if it is relaxing, because it is a group competition abroad, there are definitely not many events to choose from.

You can't eat or walk around, you can't do some personal things, and you can't go far away, so going to the theater to watch movies together has become the most presumptuous project this time.

In this regard, the team team Jiang Yan specially spent some money to put Chinese subtitles on some of the current Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Spiderman", "Men in Black 2", "Tian Zhao" and "Fast and Furious" and other summer vacations. Hollywood blockbusters released on file.

A few blockbuster films are enough for the team members to stay in the theater for half a day without getting bored.

In addition to watching movies, Jiang Yan also spent a little money to invite a chef to come and serve him well. Although there is still a limit on how much each person can eat, after all, there is a competition and they can’t eat too much, so many people still feel that they can’t eat enough. Full, but this will be much better than the bland and nutritious meal during training.

"Boss, when will your movie be released?"

At this time, "Men in Black 2" had just finished playing in the theater, and everyone was discussing the movie during the intermission. After discussing for a while, a young voice rang out. Yao's former CBA teammate, he was the main defender of the national team for a long time afterwards.

"That's what's next."

Jiang Yan simply explained.

Liu Wei asked about his "Fast and Furious".

"The Fast and the Furious" was released in North America on July 7, and it took in a box office of 8 million US dollars in North America in one month, more than 1.4 million more than expected, which is considered a very good result.

At this time, "Fast and Furious" will be released almost all over the world, including domestically.

A week ago when the national team came to Laomei, the publicity had already begun. Various words such as "a new film written by Jiang Yan" and "the Hollywood blockbuster that hit the top box office in the North American summer vacation" made Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Dayao These young players have long wanted to watch it, but only because they have to train, so it is only at this time that everyone can feast their eyes.

"Boss, it is said that more than a dozen sports cars were used up in this movie, is it true?"

At this time, Zhu Fangyu leaned on the back of Jiang Yan's seat and asked a question that had been asked many times.

When Zhu Fangyu asked, other young players also stuck out their heads, which made some old players in the team shake their heads and laugh.

"I've said it eight hundred times, it's true!" Jiang Yan responded helplessly.

He knew what Zhu Fangyu's question meant.

It is false to ask more than a dozen cars to be scrapped during filming, and it is true to remind Jiang Yan to remember the agreement.

When Jiang Yan first entered the training team in early July, a group of young people headed by Zhu Fangyu admired Jiang Yan very much. Of course, there must be some dissatisfaction in the worship.

Of course Jiang Yan knew it, and he was not used to them, so during the next two months of training, these boys were trained by him every day, making everyone miserable.

But everyone also knows that the benefits of being squeezed by Jiang Yan in this way are actually huge.

After two months of training, apart from the tacit understanding of everyone's cooperation, everyone's improvement in all aspects far exceeded the two months when Jiang Yan didn't come.

According to Jiang Yan's own evaluation, this group of people has been able to keep up with his rhythm, and the semi-finals of the Asian Championships this time are basically stable.

It's just that what should be reminded still needs to be reminded, so Jiang Yan directly reminded with a straight face:
"Don't get too excited, it's time to lose the chain, I have your good juice to eat!"

"Don't worry, Boss, just watch it, I will bite whoever you want me to bite!"

Zhu Fangyu showed a sinister smile, and his fighting spirit was surging. He was worthy of the nickname "Zhu Baquan" in later generations!
The rest of the people were also full of fighting spirit, as if they wished that the competition would start tomorrow, and then they could get the prize agreed with Jiang Yan as soon as possible.

Jiang Yan was also very satisfied with this, he and Dayao looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then continued to look at the big screen.

The top four is the goal of this expedition.

If they can reach it smoothly, Jiang Yan agreed with the team members that they will buy a small car for each of them.

The better the grade, the more expensive the car.

Not only that, Jiang Yan will also have more support, such as funding to study abroad and so on.

Although such a reward looks tacky, it seems unnecessary for Jiang Yan to pay for it personally.

But Jiang Yan thought it was worth it, and he really had to do it.

Because this has a lot to do with the current situation of the national men's basketball team.

When Jiang Yan first joined the national team in early July, his blood pressure almost exploded when he saw the national team training list.

How to describe it, just one sentence: The Basketball Association is sometimes good enough to be a chaser, but it is not enough to be a leader, and life is cheap!
Why do I say that, because Jiang Yan has seen too many problems.

Strictly speaking, the importance of this World Championship is actually not that great.

At first, Jiang Yan thought it was related to the tickets for the 04 Athens Olympics, but later he realized that the World Championships and the Olympic tickets have nothing to do with each other. Even if he is the champion, he has to fight for it again in the championships in his own continent next year.

In other words, this year's World Championships and the Busan Asian Games after the World Championships can actually train troops and prepare for the 04 Olympics or even the 08 Olympics.

And the Chinese team really needs to do this now.

On the one hand, the veteran players of the Sydney Olympics are almost useless now. The older generation such as Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong won the gold medal all of a sudden, so their spirits have all gone down. If you want them to work as hard as they did in the Sydney Olympics, it is simply too difficult.

This is also understandable. Many years of long-cherished wishes have been fulfilled. In addition, they are already injured and have reached the retirement stage, and their condition has declined seriously. Therefore, it is actually not suitable for them to come to the World Championships this time physically and psychologically.

Moreover, Lao Hu and Jiang Yan also said that they didn't want to come this time, and they couldn't be moved if they came, but the superiors insisted on them coming.

On the other hand, even if Hu Weidong and others are not on the roster, the core of the team is still there. Dazhi and Dayao are both NBA-level players, and Jiang Yan is a super-level Dinghaishenzhen. Almost, this game can also be played, the big deal is that the result is almost.

But, as far as the Basketball Association is concerned, it just wants results!
The World Championships must reach the final!
Busan Asian Games must win!
This is the goal set by the Basketball Association from the beginning.

So when Jiang Yan entered the training team, what he saw was that Hu Weidong and a group of "old, weak, sick and disabled" were still training hard there.

And this is not what makes Jiang Yan the most angry. What makes him most angry is that you can say that you have brought in some potential newcomers, but in reality, many of the new members Jiang Yan saw when he first reported were tm. Relationship households!

It was only then that Jiang Yan realized that it was an old problem of the system that had recurred!

With achievements, I thought I was really good at it!
Not only that, but there is a more cancerous problem, that is, the money has grown, the market has grown, so various inexplicable personnel relations have begun to change, and then all kinds of related households, meritorious service, and various honey operations have come. .

The head coach Jiang Xinquan was also replaced by the new coach Wang Fei.

The director of the basketball team, Li Yuanwei, was also replaced by Xin Lancheng, who was scolded the most by fans in later generations.

"Believe in God, believe in ghosts, believe in Lancheng"!
Corresponding to him is "Thank God Xie Yalong" who single-handedly pulled Chinese football into the ultra-dark age in 05!
Jiang Yan's eyes were dark at that time.

The higher ups simply don't understand the situation!

What should be changed is not changed, and what should not be changed is all a mess!

If this continues, let alone the finals, even the top eight may not be able to enter.

The level of the World Championships this time is not ordinary, and it can even be said to be stronger than that of the Sydney Olympics.

This year, with Yugoslavia and Argentina at their peak, it will not be easy for the Chinese team to overtake them if they are in the lineup for the Sydney Olympics.

But now, Liu Yudong, Hu Weidong and others are injured, and the newcomer is here to be gilded, and the superiors can't figure out the situation.
Therefore, it is understandable that the original space-time men's basketball team defeated Laomei and Busan consecutively this year.

Jiang Yan naturally did not want this to happen.

Because if the game really loses, he must be the one who gets scolded the most, who made him an "outsider".

So Jiang Yan approached Xin Lancheng that night, and then activated a new skill to output. . .

The blue skill "Breakthrough" is a skill that Jiang Yan learned from a private school teacher who worked for half a year on the crew of "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 7" in Zhang Guoli, Beijing, before joining the training team in early July.

The effect of the skill is: when teaching someone verbally, it can make the other person have an epiphany effect. The heavier the tone, the stronger the effect, and there is no side effect.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Yan can point a person's nose and scold him, not only can he wake him up, but he doesn't have to worry about retaliation.

This is an excellent skill, although there are restrictions on its use. For example, you have to be reasonable, and you can’t teach it blindly. The skill can only be used once a day, and the continuous activation time is only 15 minutes, and it consumes mental energy.

But when it is useful, it is really useful, because the effect will continue after the scolding wakes up.

For example, facing Xin Lancheng and other new executives of the Basketball Association, Jiang Yan opened his fire after closing the door.

"Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong and the others, they are injured or sick, and they are getting ready to retire at a very old age. You still let them play, or play this kind of unimportant game? What do you think? Ah?!"

"Whose nephew is that little defender Zhang Miao? The national team can get into the national team just by your connections. You are awesome!"

"After the Sydney Olympics, you made at least five or six billion yuan, right? Where did the money go? Oh, you went to do renovations, build buildings, and some benefits that you didn't have. I don't see you investing money in youth training!"

"Do you really think that the domestic level is high enough? You don't know who your surname is after you won a gold medal, right?"

"How big is the gap between us and the world's top teams? Do you believe that Lan Cheng has also inspected the NBA and NCAA for a year, don't you know?"

"Don't always think about quick success! This is basketball, it's a team sport, and you need a base of players! It's not your track and field! It's not something you can pop up by drinking some cow urine!"

Crackling and cursing, Xin Lancheng and the others, like Sun Tzu, dared not answer a word.

Soon the skills also showed their effects. Xin Lancheng and others accepted it humbly, and then asked for their opinions in turn: what should we do?

And Jiang Yan had already prepared a plan.

The first is to change the selection of personnel.

Lao Hu and the others are ready to serve as sparring partners. Anyway, Lao Hu and the others will lose the chain in Yuan Shikong's competition this time, so it is better to pass the burden to other newcomers.

As for newcomers, they can practice with whatever they are related to, as long as they are included in the big list.

So Zhu Fangyu and others who Jiang Yan was very optimistic about were helped upright.

Then the goal was lowered, and the strategic purpose of this expedition was also changed to military training.

Xin Lancheng and the others were also worried about whether they would be scolded by the public.

Jiang Yan directly asked: Are you worried about public opinion or your official position?Sober up! Is the 08 Olympics more important than the World Championships?And if you are afraid of being scolded, then you should explain the situation. This time it is the training of the new army, and the expectations of the people will naturally come down.

Besides, with me and Da Zhi Da Yao here, are you afraid that you won't get any results?

Don't say anything else, just say the last sentence, Xin Lancheng and the newly appointed leader were relieved on the spot after hearing it.

So the final goal performance was set as the top four.

Originally, Jiang Yan wanted to talk about the top eight, but this is definitely inappropriate. Jiang Yan has become stronger now. He has absolute confidence to lead the team to the final with a single core, and he has already demonstrated his strength. There is no need to be so low-key, no matter how low-key, That would be hypocritical, people are not stupid.

After saying this, Jiang Yan also gave an opinion, that is to encourage the players to go out.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help scolding the leaders present for the fact that Dayao was able to study abroad after shedding his skin.

After scolding, Jiang Yan also gave his own plan, which is to suggest that the Basketball Association learn from the later Neon Basketball Association.

As long as the players stay abroad, they will be subsidized!
In this regard, I, Jiang Yan, can help with money.

Now, the leaders of the Basketball Association nodded again, expressing that they will focus on this matter in the future.

After a lesson, the development of the next thing did meet Jiang Yan's wishes.

The final lineup of the Chinese team:
Head Coach: Wang Fei
Center: Yao Ming, Battelle.

Power forwards: Gong Xiaobin, Da Zhi, Du Feng.

Small forwards: Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Chen Ke.

Shooting guard: Jiang Yan, Zhang Cheng.

Point guard: Guo Shiqiang, Liu Wei.

The head coach was originally Jiang Xinquan, but old Jiang was not motivated enough, and with Jiang Yan around, the position of head coach was not particularly important, so Wang Fei stayed smoothly.

This also made Jiang Yan very satisfied with the new skill "Shock-a-head". With this skill, things will really get twice the result with half the effort in the future.

But at the same time, he also knew that this could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

As for how to cure the root cause?

Hey, this topic is getting bigger.

It is so big that maybe it will be 404 when it is written.

So Jiang Yan can only rely on skills to take one step at a time.

So the higher-ups have settled it for the time being, and the next question is the strength and running-in of the new army.

To tell the truth, Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong and others are all the favored sons of heaven, very strong. Before Yi Jianlian and others came out, it was difficult to find anyone who could surpass them, but Zhu Fangyu and the others are not without merit. Their biggest advantage is their youth. Durable, aggressive, bloody.

Moreover, Jiang Yan was able to flexibly switch between red and white faces, taking turns with "wake up" and "affinity", and quickly squeezed a group of young men into an iron fist.

In the sport of basketball, sometimes morale is really important, so Jiang Yan believes that this time the World Championships, the new team of the national team may really create another miracle. . .
