One Thousand and Forty-Four. Breakthrough! True -1 Stream Star!

Sun Ce returned to the team. In the afternoon, the Chinese men's basketball team held a press conference at the New St. Mary's College Gymnasium.

There was a large group of reporters. Sun Ce thought that there were only many domestic reporters, but he didn't expect that more than half of the reporters were from European and American countries!

Sun Ce himself participated in this Olympics with a very humble attitude. He felt that he had no big regrets in this Olympics as he could enter the finals and win the first round of the knockout round. He would rush forward if he could, and forget it if he couldn't win.

Unlike the Men's Basketball World Championships, there are only 12 countries participating in the Men's Basketball Olympics. It is much more difficult to enter the knockout round than the World Championships. The Chinese team is in Group B with Spain, Russia, Britain, Australia, and Brazil. Fortunately, they are not in the same group with Argentina, the United States, and Lithuania, otherwise it would be a big problem to even enter the finals.

Sun Ce and his national team teammates all think that they will be happy if they enter the semi-finals. As for winning another world championship... Winning the world championship two years ago was the peak of his basketball career. That was really a dream journey.

But public opinion doesn't seem to see it that way...

...

After the press conference, Sun Ce felt dizzy. The media praised him too much!

Before, he was busy with training every day and didn't pay much attention to this aspect. After the interview, Sun Ce saw the situation analysis of the Olympic men's basketball on the Internet. Many media actually listed them as the "four major seeded teams".

Indeed, their Chinese team is currently ranked first in the world...but such praise is a bit unbearable for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at the strength analysis of ESPN in the UK.

He, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian were regarded as the "BIG3", that is, the Big Three, and were compared with the Big Three of Kobe, James, and Anthony of the American team...

But the Big Three didn't mention Durant.

Durant was unlucky. The 2010 World Championships should have been his opportunity to make a name for himself worldwide, but it was snatched away by Sun Ce. Sun Ce made a name for himself in the world basketball arena by winning the World Championships in 2010. Durant didn't cause any waves, but was compared with the members of the Nightmare Team in 2006.

If it were normal times, Sun Ce would be very happy to be praised like this, but now... Fortunately, his teammates in the national team are not so arrogant and are all aiming for the semi-finals.

This time, the domestic media is more rational, and they are all promoting the top four. Before, the highest ranking of the three major Chinese men's balls in the Olympics was only the fifth place in volleyball. Entering the semi-finals is a record.

Ignore the media's views for now and get familiar with the place where I will live for nearly 20 days.

Actually, it's not bad to live in the Olympic Village in London with other national teams. Except for the poor accommodation environment, everything else is OK.

Although daily life is not very convenient, it is considered a "privilege". The Blue Association wants the same treatment as the US team, the Spanish team, and the Argentine team. Four years ago, domestic fans envied the US men's basketball team for not living in the Olympic Village and booking a resort by themselves. Sun Ce and his teammates enjoyed the cheap version of the treatment.

Although he couldn't envy the US team for booking a cruise ship for training, Sun Ce also accepted the reality. At least he would not be affected by other projects and could enter the preparation state for the Olympics faster.

Who is willing to hold a meeting with the table tennis team, badminton team, diving team, and gymnastics team?

These teams all said "We must win at least two championships this year to avoid losing motivation for our opponents", and their men's basketball team said "We will try our best to win a knockout game"?

Although he was actually pitted by the Blue Association's tricky operation, Sun Ce still found a way to comfort himself.

…

A few days before Sun Ce returned to the team, on July 2, the other 11 players of the Chinese men's basketball team had been selected. At dinner on the evening of the 5th, Sun Ce met his teammates.

The main body is still the lineup that won the championship in 2010. In addition to Sun, Liu Wei, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Shipeng, Guo Ailun, Sun Yue, Ding Jinhui, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Zhou Peng are all there. It is basically the core lineup of the last World Championships, but the young center Su Wei was not selected this time,

The more outstanding young center Zhang Zhaoxu was selected for the list of this Olympic Games.

On the outside, Sun Ce, Liu Wei, Guo Ailun, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Wang Shipeng are composed of young players, middle-aged players, and veterans.

On the inside, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Zhang Zhaoxu are composed.

Ding Jinhui and Zhou Peng continue to be regarded as defensive engineers on the front line. They are very important, but they may not have the opportunity to play. If they go on the court, they must contribute, and they do dirty and tiring work.

They fought together two years ago and reached the top of the basketball world. They met again. Although they only got along for a short two months, their friendship is very deep. After meeting, they were like old friends.

Since they already had cooperation experience, they started training together the next day.

In addition to Sun Ce, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian, the Chinese men's basketball team started training at the end of April, mainly to restore their status, lose weight, and practice skills. After the CBA schedule was shortened to 32 games, some domestic players did not lose the weight they gained during the Chinese New Year after playing in the second half of the season.

For example, Zhu Fangyu has been training for more than two months, but still hasn't really lost weight, but he has regained his form.

Every time Yao Ming jokes that Guangdong people eat everything and Zhu Fangyu is always fat, Zhu Fangyu always retorts with the same sentence: "I'm called steady!"

...

Training without interference is still very good, and Sun Ce is fully committed to preparing for the game.

Get up at 3:30 every morning, start training technical movements at 4 o'clock, and finish at 6 o'clock to complete the training requirements of "persistence at 4 o'clock in the morning".

Breakfast and rest until 8 o'clock, then start practicing three-pointers with Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng. At 10 o'clock, Deng Huade, Li Nan, and Guo Shiqiang organize team training.

While practicing this, Sun Ce tried his best to dribble with his left hand, and even played with the ball during breaks.

After the team training in the afternoon, Sun Ce rested for two hours, had dinner during the period, and continued to train three-pointers in the evening. He also practiced shooting after dribbling...

Time passed day by day, and on July 17th and 18th, we played a friendly match with the "American Star Team" and the "Spanish Star Team" respectively. Sun Ce, the opponent's player, did not know any of them, and the opponents were basically from the American CBA League and European teams. Low-level league players are trained purely on running tactics.

Time flew by quickly, and two weeks passed in a blink of an eye. From the 6th to the 19th, there were only two days off in between. The activities during the break were limited to Edinburgh and its surroundings. Sun Ce even made an appointment with Lily Collins to go out alone. Visited local churches, ruins, etc.

On July 20, at the end of Sun Ce's two-hour training that started at four in the morning, the system prompt came!

“Congratulations to the host for improving his top arc three-point score from B level to B+ level, and the overall three-point score evaluation has been improved to B- level.

Since the host's three-point rating has been improved to B-level, congratulations to the host for improving the overall shooting rating to A-level.

Since the overall shooting evaluation of the host has been improved to A-level, congratulations to the host for improving the overall ability evaluation to A-level. "

Sun Ce quickly opened the system's ability evaluation section.

"Ability evaluation A,

Physical fitness A: Speed ​​S-, strength B+, endurance A, jumping B-, static confrontation B+, leg explosive power A (explosion acceleration, bullet speed), explosive confrontation ability A+...

Shooting evaluation A-: three-pointer B- (three-pointer from the right sideline B, three-pointer from the left sideline C+, three-pointer from the top arc B+), mid-range shot A (midrange on the right side of the baseline A+, midrange in front of the basket A+, three A+ from the mid-range on the right side of the second zone, B from the mid-range on the left side of the three-second zone, A- from the bottom line on the left side of the three-second zone, A+ for layup...

Technical evaluation A-: A in left-hand ball control, A+ in right-hand ball control, A in passing, B+ in jump shots after pick-and-roll, A in shooting after dribbling, C+ in pull-up jump shots, A in low post skills, A in high post skills, and three-threat stance Posture D-…”

On the 12th, both the top arc three-pointer and the right sideline three-pointer were upgraded to the B level. More than a week later, finally, one three-pointer reached the quasi-first-class level!

When it comes to the introductory training of three-pointers, that is, in the past year or so, Sun Ce has followed Tim Hardaway to adjust his hand shape, practice the rhythm of catching three-pointers, grasp the balance of shots, get used to the distance of three-point shooting... and so on after the training is completed. , when there was no need to play games in the offseason and there was plenty of training time, Sun Ce's three-pointers entered a stage of rapid improvement!

Basic skills are very important for NBA players. Some players, such as Wade, did not have a good three-point foundation when they were students. In the NBA, they have not developed three-pointers throughout their careers.

Wade is also a very hard-working player, but it is difficult to lay the foundation again in the NBA. Not everyone is as durable as James.

And like Sun Ce, who spent more than a year laying the foundation and laid a solid foundation during the season, Tim Hardaway taught Sun Ce to the point of doubting life.

It took him a whole season to lay down the basics of three-point shooting. It took him more than ten months!

As for Sun Ce, he has laid the foundation for three-point shooting while playing games.

In addition, shooting after dribbling is also better because of the three-pointer. It may also be that I have practiced dribbling and shooting more during this period. On the 15th, I was promoted from the A- level to the real first-class A level. The high post has reached the same A-level level as the low post, the left hand ball control has also broken through to the first-class edge level, and the strength has reached a quasi-first-class level through a certain degree of weight gain.

Sun Ce is now a real first-class star!

What makes Sun Ce a little regretful is that he has not made any progress after playing in the low post for more than half a year. He has made rapid progress in playing in the high post. There is a huge difference between someone who teaches him and someone who does not. Kobe Bryant tortured him for a month last summer, and he once learned from Boss Joe. In one week, the level achieved by a high post player in one year is equal to the level of a low post post player in three years... Who told him to learn his low post skills from Randolph?

That is to say, he has the Nash training method. Every time he practices until he is almost dead, he can recover the next day, and then train like crazy. Only in this way can he reach the first-class level under less suitable guidance.

The current situation is very good, the training with the national team teammates is going very smoothly, and his personal strength has improved rapidly, but Sun Ce is still a little regretful - he dare not continue to improve his strength!
