Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently brushed the outline of the bustling city of Shanghai, Lu Yong had quietly woken up.

Beside him, Hannah was curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly, as if even her dreams were tinged with happiness.

Lu Yong kissed her forehead gently, his heart filled with infinite longing for the future.

Today, he will bring Hannah to the Magic City Gymnasium, where a feast of basketball, dreams and inheritance is waiting for them.

When we arrived at the stadium, the morning light had already filled the entire venue, and the air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

The players had already changed into their training uniforms. They were all in high spirits, with their eyes sparkling with love and desire for basketball.

The appearance of Lu Yong undoubtedly added a touch of weight to this feast.

He wore a simple black sweatshirt and dark blue jeans, looking casual yet dignified like a coach.

"Good morning, everyone!" Lu Yong's voice was deep and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

He looked around, his eyes lingering on the young and energetic faces, and an indescribable sense of relief surged in his heart.

"I am very happy to be here today and share with you some of my coaching experience with the NBA Nets. Remember, basketball is not just a sport, it is also a life attitude and a spirit of never giving up."

First, Lu Yong talked about the scientific nature of training.

"In the NBA, we emphasize efficiency and precision. Every day's training plan is carefully formulated based on the players' physical condition, technical characteristics and game schedule. You also need to learn to listen to your body and arrange the intensity and time of training reasonably. Remember, quality is always more important than quantity."

Then he changed the subject and talked about improving physical fitness.

"Physical fitness is the foundation of basketball players. Without a strong body, no matter how high your skills are, it will be difficult to perform. I suggest that you use intermittent high-intensity training, combining aerobic and anaerobic exercise to comprehensively improve your cardiopulmonary function, strength and endurance. At the same time, diet and rest are equally important, as they are the key to recovery."

"In terms of strength training, we must focus on the balanced development of muscles throughout the body. Especially the core muscles, which are the key to stabilizing the body and improving explosive power. We should do strength training at least three times a week, and do sufficient stretching and relaxation after each training to avoid muscle tension and injury." Lu Yong's words revealed his ultimate pursuit of details.

"Speed ​​training should not be neglected either. In basketball, speed often determines the direction of the game. You can improve your speed through sprinting, agility training and reaction speed training. Remember, speed is honed through countless repetitions, and there is no shortcut."

Lu Yong's eyes became particularly firm, as if he was telling an unchanging truth. "Technical training is the core of basketball training. Whether it is shooting, dribbling, passing or defending, you must be accurate, skilled and smooth. You must arrange time for special technical training every day and constantly challenge your limits. Remember, skills can be improved through repeated practice, but attitude determines everything."

"Finally, what I want to talk about is mentality. On the basketball court, mentality is often more important than technology. When facing difficulties and challenges, you must learn to stay calm, optimistic and confident. Believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, and believe in the power of the team. Only in this way can you perform at your best in the fierce competition." Lu Yong's words were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart.

Under Lu Yong's careful guidance, the players began to try the training methods he proposed.

Guo Ailun showed amazing explosive power in speed training, his figure shuttled across the court like lightning; Wang Zhelin was particularly focused in strength training and worked hard every time he lifted the weights; and young players such as Hu Mingxuan and Liao Sanning constantly challenged themselves in technical training, striving to make every movement flawless.

Throughout the training process, Lu Yong always maintained a high level of concentration and patience.

Sometimes he demonstrated the movements himself, sometimes he corrected the players' mistakes, and sometimes he gave encouragement and affirmation.

Every move he made and every word he said seemed to point the way forward for these young players.

As time went by, the training gradually came to an end.

Although the players were sweating profusely, their faces were filled with smiles of satisfaction and joy.

They know that today's training not only allowed them to learn valuable experience, but also gave them a deeper understanding and pursuit of basketball and their dreams.

"Coach Lu, thank you for your guidance today!" Guo Ailun was the first to step forward and express his gratitude to Lu Yong.

Other players also gathered around to thank Lu Yong and ask for advice.

Lu Yong responded to everyone with a smile, his eyes full of expectations and hope for the future.

"Remember, basketball is a never-ending journey. Only by constantly challenging yourself and surpassing yourself can you go further and higher on this road." Lu Yong's words were like a beacon, illuminating the players' way forward.

At this time, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi also joined the training.

After a brief exchange with Lu Yong, they each joined the CBA All-Star lineup and prepared for an exhibition game.

This exhibition match is not only a display of their personal abilities, but also a practical test of Lu Yong’s experience.

The moment Lu Yong announced the rules, the entire Magic City Gymnasium seemed to be ignited by an invisible force, and the air was filled with tension and excitement.

Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi, the two players who are about to soar in the NBA Nets, are now standing at the forefront of the North and South All-Star lineups, their eyes flashing with desire for victory and love for basketball.

The rules are simple and clear: Ding Yanyuhang joins the South Division All-Stars, and Zhou Qi becomes the starting core of the North Division All-Stars.

The two will each select their teammates to form two teams of balanced strength.

This exhibition match is not only a test of their personal abilities, but also a challenge to their teamwork and strategic vision.

Ding Yanyuhang looked around, his eyes lingering on familiar faces.

He knows very well that the outcome of this game is not the key. What is important is to let these top domestic players feel the dimensionality reduction attack from the NBA through actual combat, thereby stimulating their fighting spirit and potential.

So, he carefully selected several players who were strong on both offense and defense to form a team with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Zhou Qi, with his unique vision, selected players who have advantages in speed and flexibility.

He understands that in the war of basketball, speed and flexibility often determine the direction of the game.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.

The teams led by Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi engaged in a fierce confrontation on the court.

Although the atmosphere of the warm-up match was relaxed, every player gave their all and was unwilling to show any slackness in front of their opponents.

Ding Yanyuhang was like a fish in water on the court, his figure moving among the crowd like a ghost.

Facing the defense of CBA's top forward Sun Yue, he seemed to be at ease.

The continuous breakthrough layups, as if ignoring the defense, made Sun Yue feel a little overwhelmed.

Every attack of Ding Yanyuhang is like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the opponent's heart.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines, keeping a close eye on Ding Yanyuhang's performance.

He knows very well that the two-year NBA career has allowed Ding Yanyuhang to achieve a qualitative leap in both technology and mentality.

Today, he is no longer the fledgling young player, but a player who can stand on his own in the NBA.

In order to further test Ding Yanyuhang's strength, Lu Yong deliberately asked Zhejiang team's foreign aid Marcus Dunmon to defend him.

Deng Meng, a player who excels in defense in the CBA, seems to be a little overwhelmed at this moment.

Faced with Ding Yanyuhang's continuous breakthroughs and shots, he seemed a little at a loss.

Every attack of Ding Yanyuhang seemed to show him the strength and style of an NBA player.

Zhou Qi also demonstrated his strength on another battlefield.

Facing Wang Zhelin, a top CBA inside player, he did not show any fear.

On the contrary, he used his height and wingspan to continuously shoot three-pointers from the outside on the offensive end, making it difficult for Wang Zhelin to defend. On the defensive end, he blocked many shots, causing Wang Zhelin to suffer repeated setbacks on offense.

Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang's outstanding performances amazed the spectators and players on the sidelines.

The strength displayed by the two of them is far superior to that of others.

Whether in offense or defense, they seemed to end this warm-up match with a crushing attitude.

However, just as this seemingly foregone conclusion game was about to end, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Hu Jinqiu suddenly lost his balance while attacking and fell heavily to the ground.

This sudden change surprised everyone.

Seeing this, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi immediately stopped the game and ran to Hu Jinqiu to check the situation.

They know that although basketball is important, the health and safety of the players are of paramount importance.

Only after confirming that Hu Jinqiu was fine did they breathe a sigh of relief and get back into the game.

Although this little episode temporarily interrupted the game for a while, it also made everyone more deeply aware of the true meaning of basketball.

It is not just a competitive game, but also a manifestation of team spirit and humanistic care.

As the game continued, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi once again demonstrated their strength.

The two of them seemed to be telling everyone with practical actions: Even if they are only bench substitutes in the NBA, they are still the players who can stand on their own when they return to the CBA court.

Every attack and defense of theirs seemed to show the style and strength of NBA players to their opponents.

Finally, with the referee's whistle, the game ended successfully.

Ding Yanyuhang's team won the exhibition match with an overwhelming advantage.

However, for both him and Zhou Qi, the outcome of this game is not important.

What’s more important is that through this game, these domestic players have further realized the gap between themselves and NBA players, and it has also inspired them to train harder and improve their fighting spirit.

In the post-match interview, both Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi said that they gained a lot from this exhibition match.

They not only felt the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the CBA players, but also strengthened their determination to continue working hard in the NBA.

They believe that as long as they continue to work hard and strive, one day they will be able to shine even brighter in the NBA arena.

For the domestic players watching the game, this exhibition match is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to learn and improve.

By watching the games, they not only witnessed the strength and style of NBA players, but also became more clear about the direction and goals of their own efforts.

They know very well that only by continuous efforts and self-improvement can they compete with these NBA players in future games.

The warmth of the warm-up match had not yet completely dissipated, and Lu Yong followed the footsteps of the Basketball Association and stepped into the vortex of the next event.

The lights were bright, the crowds were bustling, and the two activities came one after another, just like the fast offense and defense in a basketball game, which was overwhelming.

But Lu Yong always remained clear-headed and firm in his heart.

He knows that although these activities are social events, they are also paving the way for the future of Chinese basketball.

During the break, Lu Yong had a pleasant conversation with the officials. The topic revolved around the current situation and future of Chinese basketball and those young players with unlimited potential.

There is expectation and determination in Lu Yong's eyes. He knows very well that he shoulders not only the responsibility of training players, but also the responsibility of sowing the seeds of hope for the future of Chinese basketball.

When night fell and the lights came on, Lu Yong finally returned to the hotel with his girlfriend Hannah.

As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to turn on the computer. His fingertips jumped on the keyboard and several emails quickly took shape.

The content of the email was concise and clear, but every word was of great significance - he planned to take three young players, Liao Sanning, Hu Jinqiu and Cui Yongxi, to the United States to receive more professional training.

Liao Sanning, this name is like a shining star in Lu Yong's heart.

He is young, energetic, and more importantly, he has unlimited potential.

Lu Yong seemed to see his own shadow on the court back then. His love and persistence for basketball were perfectly inherited by Liao Sanning.

He knew that if Liao Sanning could receive American-style training from the beginning, his future would definitely be brighter than staying in the CBA.

After all, Liao Sanning's stunning performance in his CBA debut and his subsequent selection as a CBA All-Star are enough to prove his talent and strength.

Hu Jinqiu, one of the most talented center players in China since Yao Ming in the past two years, made Lu Yong's eyes light up.

His defensive enthusiasm, movement speed and role on the court all made Lu Yong see unlimited possibilities in him.

Lu Yong knows very well that Hu Jinqiu's skills still need to be honed, but his talent and potential are unquestionable.

If he can receive professional training in the United States, Hu Jinqiu will definitely become an NBA rotation center in the future and write a new chapter for Chinese basketball.

As for Cui Yongxi, this name is both familiar and unfamiliar to Lu Yong.

Before Lu Yong "traveled through time", he had already heard of Choi Young-hee's name and his signing with the Brooklyn Nets.

Although Choi Young-hee's strength is not top-notch in China, his talent and potential are unquestionable.

What's more, he is Liao Sanning's cousin. This blood relationship seems to make Lu Yong see the two of them fighting side by side on the basketball court in the future.

Lu Yong knew that for such talented people who were unwilling to be ordinary, only by receiving more professional training in the United States could their future be brighter.

The moment the email was sent, Lu Yong felt an indescribable sense of anticipation and excitement.

He knows that he is sowing the seeds of hope for the future of Chinese basketball, and these seeds will eventually bloom with the brightest light one day in the future.

In the next two days, Lu Yong kept a close eye on the Basketball Association's response and the reactions of the three young players.

Finally, on a sunny morning, the Basketball Association's response arrived as promised.

They said that they had communicated with Liao Sanning, Hu Jinqiu and Cui Yongxi, and the three expressed great interest and anticipation for the opportunity to go to the United States for training.

They are willing to follow Lu Yong to the United States and work hard for their basketball dreams.

The moment he heard the news, Lu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the trip was not in vain.

He knew that his decision was correct, and the future of these three young players would become brighter and more glorious because of this choice.

He also developed a detailed training plan and life arrangements to ensure that the three players could receive the most professional and comprehensive training in the United States.

At the same time, Lu Yong also paid close attention to the players' mental state and adaptation. He knew that this trip to the United States was both a rare opportunity and a huge challenge for them. (End of this chapter)
