Chapter 721 Seeking Change, Seeking Strength

training base.

In addition to Sui Ran, Li Gen, and Yi Jianlian, the 12 members of the national team are all present this time.

In addition, Gong Luming and Yao Ming discussed it. In the interest of cultivating young people, they also called a few young players with potential to come over and train with Meng Yun and the others, which can be regarded as learning.

The field was a 5v5 confrontation training. Meng Yun led the first team, Ding Yanyuhang led the first team, and Gong Luming assigned Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun to Meng Yun's first team. Meng Yun clearly had the upper hand.But Ding Yanyuhang didn't mean to admit defeat, he played very tenaciously, especially Ding Yanyuhang, who played very well.

Li Nan and Gong Luming watched from the sidelines.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, but it was Zhou Qi who received a pass from Meng Yun and dunked with both hands.

Li Nan nodded secretly, and said, "Zhou Qi plays much more aggressively now."

Gong Luming laughed and said: "It's just that his ability to fight needs to be strengthened, he's too thin. But at least compared to before, he at least dares to take the initiative to fight now."

In the past, Zhou Qi didn't like to take the initiative to seek confrontation. His body was thin, and it was easy to suffer under confrontation. He usually relied on his height and long arms to follow the flow of skills.

It's okay in China, but when it comes to the NBA, his skills are not good enough.

After watching for a while, Li Nan said: "Director Gong, did you notice that Guo Ailun, Wang Zhelin, Ding Yanyuhang, and Zou Yuchen, a few people often come to Meng Yun to ask this and that, I heard Li Gen say For once, it seems like they all want to be in the NBA now."

"It's not a bad thing." Gong Luming smiled, and before Li Nan could speak, he said, "I know what you mean, they are still young, and their talents are not bad in China, but they are not good in the international arena. It's too prominent. In my opinion, it would be good if at most one or two can enter the NBA. As for whether they can gain a firm foothold in the NBA, it's hard to say. But what does it matter? It's always good to have pursuits, at least they are willing Work hard for it, even if you fail to enter the NBA, your strength will still improve."

"Do you really think I gave them a training camp to get them all into the NBA?"

Hearing this, Li Nan smiled and said, "Hehe, didn't you say it? It's for the Tokyo Olympics four years later. Let's see if I can get a medal then."

Gong Luming said bluntly: "You are wrong. The Tokyo Olympics is still very early, and it is not certain whether I will be the head coach at that time, maybe you will be the head coach at that time."

Li Nan was taken aback, and said with a sneer: "How can I."

Regardless of Li Nan's ability or not, Gong Luming said: "I don't want them to relax. Our harvest in this Olympic Games is not only reaching the semi-finals, but also the progress of the players. After two months of training, the players have improved a lot. They have all made some improvements, and the most important thing is that their mentality has changed, and they have begun to take the initiative to change and strive for strength."

"They are not Yi Jianlian, nor Meng Yun. These little guys are still young, and they will be disbanded if the Olympics are over. Their tense nerves will be relaxed, and it will be difficult to tense up again. Take this opportunity to let them practice for a while , It will be good for them to really develop the habit of practicing diligently and hard.”

"Dayao also meant the same thing. Now that he has taken over the CBA, he is having a headache."

"The cba is gradually commercialized, and the restrictions on foreign players will also be gradually opened. But in this way, many teams may over-rely on foreign aid for their record, and finally become foreign aid-led cba. That is not the result we want. The cba is our The purpose of the cba is to train local players, how can a group of foreign players dominate?"

This Li Nan agreed and nodded quickly.

The original intention of introducing foreign aid was to absorb and learn from it, so that local players can learn some good things from foreign aid, and at the same time introduce foreign aid with excellent personal ability to put some pressure on local players.

After all, only by fighting with masters can you improve faster, otherwise it would be meaningless to fight with your own people behind closed doors, and you will still be a frog in the bottom of the well after breaking the sky.

However, the current situation is a bit out of control. There is a shortage of excellent local players, and they are generally concentrated in a small number of teams. personal ability to enhance the strength of the team.

As a commercial alliance, this is understandable.

But in the long run, it is not good for Chinese basketball. Over-reliance on foreign aid and neglect of the training of local players is by no means a long-term solution.

So after Yao Ming took over the cba, he was looking for a solution. Foreign aid is still needed, but the cultivation of local players cannot be ignored. This requires the rise of more outstanding local players, otherwise, how can we talk about commercialization?Commercialization cannot rely too much on policy measures to interfere with these. Relying on the emergence of talents and eventually achieving local players surpassing foreign aid is the solution to the problem.

Gong Luming said: "Whether we can enter the NBA or not is another matter, but at least our local players can improve, and more of them will still gain a foothold in the NBA, and they cannot lose to foreign players."

"It was also Yao Ming who came forward to talk to Meng Yun, so Meng Yun didn't leave in a hurry. What do you think this kind of training will do to Meng Yun? Others are of no help to him."

After listening, Li Nan completely understood.

After thinking about it, Li Nan said: "I don't think it's appropriate to delay Meng Yun for too much time. It's important for other people to improve their strength, but it's more important for Meng Yun to improve his strength. He is still in the promotion period. He has improved a lot this time in the Olympics. I feel that he He can continue to improve, and we can't delay his improvement time. Only when Meng Yun improves can our Chinese basketball go further."

Gong Luming frowned, and said solemnly: "You are right. The development of the cba relies on local players, and how far the national team can go depends on Meng Yun. Which side is more important? Both sides are important. There are only two training sessions this time." Zhou, Meng Yun will leave in two weeks, as for the others, let’s talk about it later.”

Li Nan didn't say any more, Gong Luming had already thought of these things.

The two-week training camp, when the training camp is over, it will be almost September [-]th. The NBA preseason game has not yet started, and it is also a suitable time for Meng Yun to go to the United States after the training camp is over.

As for whether to continue the training camp after two weeks, it probably depends on the performance of the players.

If it's really mud that can't support the wall, then it's useless to practice, let alone coach Gong Luming's time is free?
If the players can continue to maintain after Meng Yun left, then Yao Ming should make some moves, and the training camp may continue.

In short, the opportunity is given to you, and you have to fight for the rest. No one can get something for nothing. If you want to enter the NBA, you have to suffer even more.

Li Nan raised his face and yelled at the field: "Are you all idiots? You won't go up to double-team when you see Meng Yun playing singles with the ball? Give me a little bit of defense."
