Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Now that the draft is over, there is no need for Duane to continue paying attention to the situation on the Bulls side.

After a short break, it was early August in a blink of an eye. Duen and Yao Ming attended the opening ceremony of this year's U8 Men's Basketball Asian Youth Championship.

Speaking of the Rio Olympics two years ago, the domestic results were not so ideal.

The men's basketball team is actually quite decent under the leadership of Duane, but it is similar to other projects. The relevant leaders have been adjusted, and Yao Ming was promoted because of his background as a player and his professional resume.

As for Duane, he is still an active player and does not hold any position.

However, the youth training layout of more than ten years ago and the persistent efforts over the past decade have finally borne fruit and it is time to produce results.

Considering that where there are people, there is the world, Du En must provide protection and shelter for the disciples trained by his own training institution.

Although Duen has no one above him, fortunately his own achievements are strong enough and his corresponding face is quite high, so he is qualified to do something to prevent certain stakeholders from occupying the quota for the battle or stealing the fruits of victory.

It is also because of Duan's influence that this year's men's basketball U18 youth team is different from the players from major clubs in previous years. Most of the newcomers this year are trained by Duan!

Even though Duen didn't have much contact with them, he still had some feelings for sending them to the United States to play basketball.

Of course, this group of people are good at forging iron, so Duen took advantage of the fact that he has relatively free time this summer and came over to take a look.

Yao Ming himself has some ideas about youth training. In addition, the domestic civil servant basketball is currently in a situation where it is difficult to turn around. Yao Ming has neither the conditions nor the ability to reform it. Therefore, he can only hope that the next generation will have one or two leaders who can play in the NBA.

I can't even imagine players with the conditions and level of Duane, but if we can train a few more players like Wang Zhizhi and Sun Yue, then at least we can ensure that after Duane retires, the men's basketball team will not be particularly weak in the next ten years.

The current men's basketball U17, U18, and U19 youth teams are basically composed of Duane's people.

Therefore, Yao Ming is still looking forward to the next batch of people.

It is for this reason that Durant and Yao Ming appeared on the stage together, one to protect the newcomers he trained, and the other to supervise the battle, wanting to witness the rise of the new generation of men's basketball with his own eyes.

I have to say that the American youth sports training system is really amazing.

The current U18 youth team, composed of international students who have played abroad, is much better than the young masters who stayed in the country.

Even the young masters' real ages are generally older.

But in terms of athletic ability and physical confrontation, they are completely not on the same level.

Of course, the sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

Due to their relatively poor and difficult backgrounds, the international students under Duan had no choice but to work day and night in a foreign country to hone their skills and strengthen their bodies.

But for the young masters, playing ball is just a helpless way to pass the time.

Of course, there are also those who have risen through the ranks through talent, but found that they don’t need to be too serious, don’t need to devote their whole self, and don’t need to put in all their effort, and they can easily get a favorable working environment and living conditions, so they just lie down and don’t want to work hard anymore.

In short, the group of people trained by Dunn are leading in all aspects of physical strength, skills, fighting spirit, and even technology, so their performance in the competition is indeed much better.

After supervising the game for more than a week, Yao Ming was very satisfied with the group of young players trained by Duane.

Seeing is believing. Since Duane has trained a group of new players who can really play basketball, why not continue along the successful path that Duane has paved?

After this battle, Yao Ming became more determined to strengthen the youth training system and send young players to play in the United States.

Strive to cultivate the second Yi Jianlian, the second Yao Ming, and even the second Durant in the future.

Of course, these are all things in the future.

On September 9, the FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup qualifiers finally kicked off. In previous years, the World Championships and the FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup were held every four years, but this year is a little different.

Counting the dates, the Men's Basketball World Cup should indeed start this year. However, the influence of men's basketball around the world is ultimately not as great as that of football.

In order to avoid the ratings being killed by the Football World Cup and seriously affecting the commercial value and influence of the Men's Basketball World Cup, this Men's Basketball World Cup has been postponed for one year and will not officially start until next summer.

As for this summer and even fall, we will slowly warm up and play a preliminary match first.

In fact, with Duane's qualifications, there is no need for him to participate in the qualifiers of the Men's Basketball World Cup.

Besides, the men's basketball team has Yi Jianlian leading the team, so it's not as if they can't even win the qualifiers.

It’s just that this Men’s Basketball World Cup happens to be held in China!

Duen is a leader in the domestic basketball and even sports world. In order to warm up and build momentum for this Men's Basketball World Cup, Duen, who has attracted much attention from fans at home and abroad, had to appear on stage early.

Of course, Duane's work was not in vain.

Just like he had previously protected the U18 players, this year’s men’s basketball qualifying team has four young players who came from Dunn’s team.

Basketball is not just about fighting, it's also about the human relationships.

Durant came to play in the qualifiers just like he played in the NBA preseason. He appeared in the first half to warm up and pass the ball to the newcomers to help them better adapt to the team and the game.

At the same time, it also allows Duane's disciples to have more playing time and more opportunities to train, learn and grow.

"Duan's condition is so good? He made three three-pointers right at the start!"

"Facts speak louder than words. Duane is still one of the best basketball players in the world! Tonight, Duane broke the doubts of the outside world with his actions!"

"Tonight, Duane was not only a mentor to the young players, but also the omnipotent and terrifying killer on the court!"

"Duane has never been a player who only relies on his body to play. As long as he can still shoot, he can continue to dominate the game on the court!"

As the game progressed, commentators from home and abroad became extremely excited and passionate.

Ever since the Bulls renewed their contract with Durant and then sold off the hero who contributed to their championship, the doubts, ridicules, and slanders that Durant has been bearing have increased day by day, reaching a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Many fans expressed that they found it difficult to understand why the undisputed GOAT of the NBA would be subject to such criticism just because he signed a new pension contract.

Many die-hard fans of Dunn have conspiracy theories, saying that there is an organization behind the scenes that deliberately discredits Dunn.

But it doesn’t matter now!

Even though Duane hasn't played a game for two or three months, and may not have even touched a ball or had any serious training during his vacation.

But once Duane returned to the game, he immediately became the most dazzling focus on the field with his crazy performance that amazed everyone!
Of course, some people will argue that the intensity of the Men's Basketball World Cup qualifiers is not very high, but it is an indisputable fact that Duane played very well.

Moreover, Duane played well in more than one game.

杜恩用炉火纯青的进攻技巧，外加丰富的比赛经验，在这届预选赛打出了场均18分4篮板4助攻1抢断0.5盖帽的数据。

You know, in FIBA ​​games, averaging double-digit points per game is already a very good performance.

Not to mention, Duane was different from other teams’ main players. Duane only played half the game, but his scoring data did not decrease. Instead, he took the lead and dominated the game! (End of this chapter)
