Chapter 776 775. Breaking Through the Top Stars!
131 of 221 from the field...
Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan figured it out for themselves. If they could shoot with such accuracy and speed, they would have to shorten the shooting distance by at least one meter!
This kind of blind throw can have a 60% hit rate, like throwing for fun, like playing a shooting machine...
The older generation of domestic players and the group of players who entered the CBA at the beginning of the century have solid skills, but there is a certain relationship between skill and body. There will be a ceiling. The skills and bodies of this group of domestic players have long been finalized, and the scientific training obtained during the best learning period is not in place.
Li Nan is careful not to lose to Liu Mang in terms of his non-confrontation shooting posture and stability alone, but this kind of wild throw can still maintain a certain stability, with a hit rate of almost 60%, he thinks he can't do it arrive.
And the gap between the NBA and the CBA can be seen from this three-point shooting competition. Just the shooting distance, people throw three-pointers as free throws...
Although it is a glimpse of the leopard, it can be seen!
Regardless of physical fitness, Liu Mang can win the slam dunk title in the NBA, and the older generation of players headed by Li Nan have already convinced him with his basic shooting skills.
And then...Liu Mang was pestered by Brother Bajie to take a group photo and ask for his autograph...
...
...
"Bajie, as a teacher..."
"Boss, don't call me Bajie!"
"I know Bajie."
"I just said don't call me Bajie!"
"Bajie, go to the front to find out the way, it's not safe abroad, and the young master's wealth and life are very precious."
"I see, I got lost again, right..."
Liu Mang was very satisfied as he watched Zhu Fangyu go to ask for directions.
The national team also has first-class thugs! Liu Mang remembers that Zhu Fangyu may not be able to do anything except shoot three-pointers. He can miss both free throws in the Olympics, but he fights very well. Chinese Kungfu is famous all over the world because of him...
Unfortunately, under FIBA rules, Zhu Fangyu's ability rating is only 65.
Under the rules of FIBA, physical fitness will be largely smoothed out by technology.
Players with good skills and accurate shooting will have their ability evaluation greatly improved under the FIBA rules. In contrast, players who play purely with their bodies will have their ability evaluation greatly reduced under the FIBA rules.
Under the rules of the FIBA, NBA bench-level players all have an ability rating of 75 or above. Of course, only those with skill level can improve significantly. If it is a muscular man who relies purely on physical fitness, he may have a chance in the NBA. To survive, and in FIBA rules, is to be a big fool.
On the fourth day after joining the national team, after the system calculated the player's ability evaluation data under the rules of the international league, Liu Mang had a better understanding of the strength of the national team.
Now it is indeed the tail end of the golden years of the Chinese men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team, which was able to defeat the successor of the former Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, is really not covered!
Since Yugoslavia won the 2002 World Championships, their successor team, Serbia and Montenegro, is now ranked No. 1 in the world. Without Liu Mang, they defeated Serbia and Montenegro in the group stage!
Yao Ming is very buggy in the international competition, his ability rating is as high as 93! Yao Ming, who has shooting skills, such a center, no matter under any rules, there is no big problem, especially under the rules of the FIBA without defending for three seconds, Yao Ming's defensive ability rating is as high as 96, but relatively, the offense Only 87.
The most buggy is Spain's Pau Gasol. Under FIBA's rules, his ability rating is as high as 98, ranking first in the world... Good skills, 2.15 meters tall crush most opponents, under FIBA's rules , almost invincible... Liu Mang is very curious about how much Durant will be in the future...
Similarly, almost all of the European and South American players who can enter the NBA, except the Great Pyrenees, have greatly improved under the rules of the FIBA.
Little Brother Bajie finally asked the way in broken English, and ran back: "Boss, I have asked, the Elitrea Hotel is over there..."
"Alright Bajie, let's go! I'll take you there to ask for an autograph!"
"Just don't call me Bajie...By the way, boss, why don't you take a taxi? We can't find our way if we go this way."
"No money for a taxi!"
"..."
Today is July 21, the second day that the national team has come to the Greek island of Evia.
After arriving at the resort hotel on Evia Island yesterday, after falling into jet lag and falling asleep for a day, Liu Mang received an invitation from James to go to the beach hotel chartered by the US team to attend the party. The party was originally called Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, but Both were still tired, and the older one was slower than the younger one in terms of jet lag.
Liu Mang took Zhu Fangyu with him, he had to bring a thug! What if someone from the U.S. team wants to plot something wrong... Wait, it seems that someone wearing the number 10 of the U.S. team did not participate in the Olympics due to the pressure of public opinion, and Liu Mang was relieved a lot...
...
An hour later, Liu Mang and Boozer sat under the umbrella, watching Zhu Fangyu running with the cold-faced Iverson in the sunset by the sea, Liu Mang felt ashamed!
The main reason is that this broken bodyguard is not doing his duty at all! Seeing Iverson left the boss behind.
Still Boozer is good! Even if he is already someone else's player, he should do his best to be a bodyguard.
To Liu Mang's surprise, Iverson actually started to train hard! Although he is 29 years old, it is not too late. He has averaged 14 or 5 mid-range shots per game in his career, and his shooting percentage can still maintain a level of 389%. Iverson's shooting talent is Yes, it's just that I didn't like training before. With the scoring method of CIC, I stagnated. Now I start training hard, not to mention becoming a top three-pointer, but not being shot at critical moments.
The U.S. team went to Evia Island before the Chinese team. Their selection was simple and clear. They decided on a 12-man roster, and then found more than a dozen young players as sparring partners. Superstars were willing to join the national team. , how could there be any such thing as selection.
Iverson is running on the beach now, practicing physical fitness. After all, Iverson is 29. Iverson also feels a huge sense of crisis because of Liu Mang. He is worried that his personal strength may not be as good as Liu Mang that day. He cannot accept it.
"Carlos, I didn't expect you to join the US team, won't you accompany the child?" Liu Mang asked curiously.
"My wife and children support me to represent the US team, I will not let them down." Boozer laughed.
"..." Liu Mang looked at the American team... and really wanted to tell Boozer that his wife and children would really be disappointed this time.
American Dream Team Six, after McGrady, Carter, Karl Malone, and Ray Allen withdrew, it was too miserable!
After Liu Mang saw the members of the American team, he really didn't like them at all.
Tim Duncan, Emeka Okafor, Richard Jefferson, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, Lamar Odom, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Stephon Marbury, Carlos Boozer.
Duncan is indeed not suitable for FIBA at all. In terms of strength, he is properly the number one active player in the NBA, but in FIBA, his ability evaluation is completely suppressed, only 79.
But the U.S. team has a large number of people. The best insider is Odom. His ability rating is 93, which is almost as good as Yao Ming, but he still has the characteristic of being distracted.
Boozer is better than Duncan in FIBA, with an ability rating of 85.
But other people can't do it, Stoudemire 61, Sean Marion 63, Okafor 67... Compared with the teams in Europe and South America, the substitute inside lineup has no advantage!
The situation on the outside is similar. The best is Anthony, who just finished his rookie season, with an ability rating of 89. The other best is Marbury's 82, and Iverson's rating of 80.
In addition, Richard Jefferson, Wade, and James are all less than 70.
That is to say, apart from Odom and Anthony, the rest of the US team has no advantage at all against the two or three strongest teams in Europe and South America.
What makes Liu Mang not optimistic about the US team is their head coach, who is notorious for not using rookies, and Larry Brown, who is small-minded, did not recruit Bosh to the US team. First of all, because Bosh is a rookie, The Pistons didn’t have power forwards, he used them, but the national team didn’t lack insiders. Duncan was willing to participate, so he decisively gave up on Bosh. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, even if Duncan is 40 years old, Bosh can’t compare to him in the NBA. However, Anthony, Odom, and Boozer don't seem to like Larry Brown. Larry Brown is hanging around Duncan's ass...
After chatting with Boozer for a while, he learned that Boozer was very satisfied with going to Salt Lake City. The medical care and education there made him feel comfortable. Liu Mang let go of his worries about Boozer changing to a new team.
James and Wade went out to sea together for a stroll, and finally came back.
Liu Mang made an appointment with James, Boozer, and Wade to train together, and left with the shameless little brother Bajie.
Of course, when I went back, I still walked, Liu Mang euphemistically called it exercising...
...
Coming to the beautiful island of Evia, training in the open-air court with the sea breeze blowing, it’s a special feeling. Liu Mang brought James, Wade, and Boozer to train together. The main reason is to give the country Let them know the strength of the NBA and how NBA players fight against each other, so that they are mentally prepared, because only 12 countries participated in the Olympic Games, except for the Russian team, which was withdrawn by the free franchise of the United States. Except for Puerto Rico's weaker replacement, almost all non-American NBA players except the Russians are included in the other 11 teams.
I have to say that the FIBA team in the past few years, in the era of shining stars, can be regarded as the most glorious period of time for FIBA so far.
Soon, the time came to August 2. The head coaches of the Chinese national team for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Dale Harris, Jonas Kaslauskas, Ah Dijiang, Min Lulei, and the director of the Blue Association, Wei Yuanli, confirmed the 12 National People's Congress list.
Liu Mang, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle were selected for the national team without any suspense, and the first three were confirmed as the starting lineup.
Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Yi Jianlian, Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, Mo Ke, and Guo Shiqiang, after experiencing the temporary increase of young players such as Yi Jianlian and Wang Shipeng in the national team training team, because Yi Jianlian's official age is only 17 years old, which led to another one. Under the pressure of public opinion, Zhang Yunsong, Zhang Jinsong, Mo Ke and others expressed dissatisfaction.
However, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan and other manpower supported Yi Jianlian, who had shown talent, and the Basketball Federation was under pressure but wanted to let Yi Jianlian see the world, etc., chose to use the weak chicken to clear the way. Disqualified again... After a series of common disturbances for the national team, the national team finally confirmed the 12-man roster on August 2, the deadline for the roster set by the International Olympic Committee.
Regarding the selection of the national team, Liu Mang did not do anything to intervene. He is not an idiot. In the Eagles, he can intervene in team affairs because of his commercial value and strength, but the national team is different. He only needs Responsible for hitting the ball well.
For the series of turmoil in the national team, he pretended not to see it. When the head coach asked him to train, he trained to show his ability. If he didn't care about him, he trained by himself to improve his own strength. Finally, in August, his own NBA ability evaluation, finally broke 90!

There will be another chapter in a while. I was busy until six o'clock today, and I just finished moving the house. I fell asleep after closing the door. The moving company is too cheating. I put my things in the property downstairs and left. Xiaofeng himself is the same I moved here, and I was busy from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. After moving, I lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Fortunately, I set an alarm clock for two hours, got up immediately and wrote a chapter, took a shower, and then read it later. Write a chapter! Sorry for the long wait, will update normally tomorrow.
