Players who can shoot have great advantages in the international arena!
Sun Ce felt before he even played a game why players like Scola and Yi Jianlian were able to perform at the superstar level in the international arena.
It almost turned the long two-point shot into a three-point shot, and the less powerful mid-range shot area has also been slightly improved because it is "closer" to the basket.
In terms of physical fitness, it may be because the overall physical fitness of FIBA is not as good as that of the NBA. His Sun's physical fitness in FIBA is S-level, just like Yi Jianlian's S-level physical fitness in the international arena during the World Championships. It’s been upgraded to a whole new level!
On the contrary, his skills have declined. Although he has not fallen below the A-level, in terms of low post shooting, he has dropped by a big level. The rest is pretty good.
However, the offense under the basket plummeted...
His right-hand layup almost fell below the first-class level. Before returning to the Olympic team, on the 24th, after more than two months of hard training, Sun Ce's left-hand ball control was almost the same as his right-hand ball control, although he had not yet had time to learn how to use both hands. Strengthening breakthroughs and changes in rhythm, I am not used to the feeling of using the left hand to control the ball to break through, but the advantage is that the "left and right bow" has been upgraded to level 2. The left-hand layup already has the same feeling as the right-hand layup. Moreover, it may be because of the previous pain. He has practiced left-handed layups and mid-range shots 10,000 times. When his left-handed layups are listed separately, they are directly at a good level of B level.
But in the international arena, it dropped directly to the average level...
For outside players, scoring at the basket in the international arena is too difficult, especially for outside players who are accustomed to NBA rules and court sizes.
The NBA has more space inside the three-point line, a larger paint area, and a defensive three seconds...
But this is also the reason why a player of Carlos Arroyo's level can defeat the entire US team in the international arena. Good shooting means an advantage!
After reading his own ability evaluation, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluations of his teammates under FIBA rules one by one.
"Yi Jianlian, his ability rating is S-...Yao Ming, S...two thighs! Brother Hua Lian is awesome in the international arena, but his defense is average. Unfortunately, Yao's physical strength is only B level. He still relies on the Mavericks as his ancestors. After a year, if I can play for 25 to 30 minutes without defending for three seconds, my old Sun and Dayao's defensive cooperation...
Zhu Fangyu, B level, is characterized by three-pointers at A+ level...Wang Shipeng, B-, is characterized by three-pointers at A level, and his breakthroughs are okay... he is generally awesome. At this age, there are still A-levels. It is a pity that back then It’s better to go to Europe and play for a few years first...
Ding Jinhui defends A level? The offense is a bit worse, but the defense is much better than two years ago. Apart from Dayao, the best defender is Ding Jinhui...
Brother Wei is still the best perimeter player besides my old grandson, B+ level, and Sun Yuezha is still B level..."
Sun Ce took a look and saw that most of his teammates were not much different from two years ago. Except for the three of them who played in the NBA, only Wang Zhizhi was a first-class player in the international arena.
The only good players from B- to B+ levels are Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Ding Jinhui.
The other three, Guo Ailun, Zhang Zhaoxu, and Zhou Peng are all at C- to C+ levels.
That is to say, three players who are average or even slightly below average in the international arena, but are already the three best players that the national team can currently provide, except for the top eight players.
This, if it weren't for these three NBA players, they might really be at the bottom of this Olympics!
Sun Ce finally understood why in the original time and space, Yao Ming retired, Wang Zhizhi was old, and Yi Jianlian did not participate in the 2013 Asian Games, but he could not reach the semi-finals of the 2013 Asian Cup.
The progress in the two years has not been obvious. Sun Ce probably does not have three of their NBA players. If the current lineup is to win an Asian medal, Wang Zhizhi will have to work hard.
Young players are inactive, Mesozoic players have not improved, veterans are getting old and retired... The future of the national team is worrying, and we can only wait and see whether Yao Ming can do a good job in the future.
After patting his face, Sun Ce stopped thinking about the future. He first enjoyed his national team career and practiced three-pointers for a while to get used to the fully arc-shaped three-point line.
…
Half an hour passed quickly, and Sun Ce’s on-site observation time with his teammates and coaches was over.
On the way back to the training ground of the Chinese team, Sun Ce looked at the domestic fans who had come from afar and cheered again with signs and national flags after half an hour's rest. Sun Ce said to Yao Ming next to him: "Brother Yao, we are going to compete in the group stage. Fight for the top two, right?”
"That's right. Only by getting into the top two can we avoid the United States and Argentina and have a greater chance of reaching the semifinals." Yao Ming said this with some heaviness. In his Olympic career, he has never been in the top three of the group. When he entered the quarterfinals, he was always the fourth in the group.
At least in basketball, the gold content of the Olympics is higher than the World Championships, because they are the strongest teams in each continent.
Sun Ce nodded. He is now more purposeful. He can't enter the top eight as the third or fourth in Group B, otherwise he will definitely meet one of the United States or Argentina in the quarterfinals.
Fortunately, they are in Group B, and the real strong opponents are the Spanish team and the Russian team.
Sun Ce thinks tonight is very important. The British team is recognized as the weakest team in the entire Group B. They must win steadily, and they must lock in the victory early to let the veterans rest more!
……
……
The last training was carried out in the morning. After lunch, after a short rest, Sun Ce began to warm up with his teammates.
The hard-working attitude will inspire teammates. Some domestic players may not be very active in training and warm-up in the league, but when they arrive at the national team, they are more or less touched to see Sun Ce training like that every day, and start to train harder than usual and warm up more actively.
Sun Ce saw all these. He didn't know how many domestic players he could influence and what positive role he could play for his country's basketball, but he just had to work hard and do his best.
At 3 pm, we took the shuttle bus to the Olympic Park Basketball Hall.
At 3:10 pm, we entered the stadium. Luol Deng, the star of the British men's basketball team, gave a speech before the game, expressing his vision for the future of British basketball, his beautiful expectations for British basketball to connect with the world, and his understanding of the meaning of basketball changing life...
Sun Ce looked at the British players, and except for Luol Deng, he didn't know any of them.
Originally, there was another British basketball player named Ben Gordon, whom Sun Ce knew, but Ben Gordon did not participate in this Olympics. In fact, Ben Gordon has never played for the British team.
It is said that there is an NBA player in the British team, but Sun Ce has never heard of him. It seems that he was cut after playing a few games. He is the starting center of the opponent, Popos Monsa-Bonsu.
However, although Sun Ce does not know most of the players on the British team, they are not weak. Luol Deng's A+ level ability evaluation is the strongest in the British team. In addition to Luol Deng, there are 7 players from B- to B+ levels... Although they are the second to last in the group, they don’t seem to be that weak. Of course, it is relative.
But fortunately, although the Chinese team has fewer B- to B+ players than their opponents, they have 3 high-level combat power! Wang Zhizhi also maintains the level of the first-class edge!
…
Luol Deng gave a passionate speech, but at 3:20, when the players of both teams went on the court to shoot and warm up their hands and make the final pre-match preparations, the fans at the scene shouted "Lord", "Otspes", "Moving Great Wall"...
The vast majority of fans at the scene were Chinese fans, occupying 70% of the 14,800 seats. Moreover, whether they were local fans, fans from other countries, or fans from China, they all shouted the three's most famous nicknames in the world, and Chinese fans also followed suit and shouted the English nicknames in a fashionable way.
Luol Deng felt a little overwhelmed... It's amazing to have the Big Three!
Yao Ming has long been world-famous. The last World Championships was held in Turkey. In addition to Sun Ce's "replacing Durant" and making a name for himself in the world basketball arena, Yi Jianlian's performance of averaging 22 points and 9 rebounds per game was recognized by more fans because of winning the championship.
Yi Jianlian, the least popular of the three, is no less popular in the UK than Luol Deng, because Luol Deng did not grow up in the UK. In his early years, he preferred to say that he was Sudanese...
At 3:28, the starting lineups of the two teams came on the court. The Chinese team sent out Sun Ce, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming.
The British team sent out the starting lineup of Kielen Azak, Dan Kraka, Luol Deng, Andrew Lawrence, and Popos Monsa-Bonsu.
When Sun Ce came to the technical desk to put on the equipment, many fans at the scene waved their hands to show the "Lord's Same Balance Bracelet" on their hands. This picture advertised Sun Ce's peripheral products.
Luol Deng was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. Whose home court was this?
Why did it look like a fan meeting of the guy on the opposite side?
The new NBA double MVPs are amazing...Luol Deng suddenly realized that no matter the Big Three or the MVP, they are all amazing...
At 3:30 pm, the game started. Yi Jianlian easily won the jump ball over the head of the 206-centimeter short center Popos Monsa-Bonsu. Zhu Fangyu blocked Luol Deng's fast move to defend Sun Ce. Yao Ming waited for a while after receiving the jump ball won by Yi Jianlian and directly went to the front court. Sun Ce rushed into the inside to receive the ball and dunked over the opponent's point guard Kielen Azak to score two points, opening the prelude to the massacre of the host!
