Chapter 4 Going Through the Motions?

"What! Jianguo, are you kidding me? ”

An angry roar came from Cheng Jianguo's mobile phone.

"Lao Li, why are you so angry, dissipate the gas, eliminate the gas first." Cheng Jianguo said.

"Degassing? Kill your ass! I offended people for you, and the list was changed, but when I looked at the information, what kind of thing did you recommend? ”

"What's wrong? Lao Li? Is his physical condition not up to par? Cheng Jianguo said.

"You don't give me a sloppy eye! You know what I'm referring to! ”

"A person who has never had professional basketball experience and background, you would dare to recommend it to me???"

"Lao Li, don't be angry first, don't you believe my vision? If he was just an average player, would I go to such great lengths to recommend it to you? Listen to me, this kid is definitely one of the inner line Puyu I've ever seen, and if he is trained properly in the future, he may be able to become the next Yao Ming. Cheng Jianguo patiently explained slowly.

"The next Yao Ming? Cheng Jianguo, do you know what you're talking about? Yao Ming is so good? How many years has Chinese basketball been, and there is only one Yao Ming, I think you are dizzy this time! ”

"Lao Li, don't make up your mind so quickly, I, Cheng Jianguo, dare to pack tickets, if you see him in real person, you will definitely like him better than me."

"With a height of two meters and fourteen meters, a weight of two hundred and thirty pounds, and two months away from turning eighteen years old, forgive me for my clumsiness, judging from the information you gave me, I really don't see anything special about this person named Tang Qian. The height is okay, the weight is okay at his age, but he is too old, you should know that the U17 players have been exposed to basketball and even professional basketball since childhood, and he is almost eighteen years old and has not participated in any professional leagues, the so-called systematic training is impossible to talk about, such a person, how do you want me to look at him? The voice on the other end of the phone was not breathing.

"Lao Li, I know that you are a person who has been to the NBA to study, why is your vision still so backward?" Cheng Jianguo said: "First of all, I'm sure that you haven't read the information I sent you at all, otherwise you would never stare at a height and weight age." Besides, who said that Tang Qian had never been in contact with basketball before, he was the MVP of the National High School League for three consecutive years......"

"Jianguo, you have to make it clear, our country's high school league is not the American high school league, it is an amateur entertainment organization, how can it be taken seriously?"

"That's right, my country's high school league is indeed much inferior to the United States, but don't forget, I, Cheng Jianguo, am also a provincial team coach, so I still don't know about the so-called 'profession' in your mouth? It's all a little young master who lies about his age and is arrogant! How many people can really enter the national team in the future and play for the country? You're still here to pick and choose for me! This Tang Qian, but he is a real master, I, Cheng Jianguo, bet that most of your so-called U17 players are definitely older than Tang Qian, and they are much older, do you dare to say that what I said is not right? Cheng Jianguo felt uncomfortable when he saw that the other party was picky, and immediately refuted loudly.

"Alas, Jianguo, you're right, but if you take such an 'amateur' player in, I'm afraid that other people will be dissatisfied, so I will put small shoes and hats on him!" Seeing Cheng Jianguo getting angry, the voice on the other end of the phone also softened.

"What are you afraid of!" Cheng Jianguo thought of Tang Qianqing's performance in the gymnasium today, and said confidently: "If the jade is not cut, if he doesn't have any pressure resistance, his upper limit will be like this, then even if I Cheng Jianguo looks away." ”

"Okay, since you are so insistent, I will fulfill your wish, I just hope that this Tang Qian is really as good as you say."

"Don't worry, when will your training camp start?" Cheng Jianguo asked.

"It's the day after tomorrow, train intensively for a week, and then start going to Kanas, Lithuania to participate in the main competition."

"Okay, I'll make it clear to Tang Qian, and then I'll trouble you to take care of it for me."

"Well said, well said."

After hanging up the phone, a tall middle-aged man sat at the desk, he frowned, as if he remembered something, and picked up the fax sent to him by Cheng Jianguo again......

The next day, Tang Qian boarded the plane to Beijing and rushed to the training base of the U17 youth team without stopping.

This is the first time Tang Qian has come to the capital, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, it is the first time.

But Tang Qian is not in the mood to go sightseeing and wandering, because it is not early to arrive in Beijing, and he is tired of traveling, and in order to train early tomorrow morning, he must recharge his energy and keep himself in the best condition at all times.

What Cheng Jianguo gave him when he left, he always remembered.

"Xiao Tang, this opportunity is very rare, if you can perform well, maybe you can become famous. Although the U17 World Youth Championship is not a big competition, no matter how low the specifications are, it is also a world competition, if you can grasp it well, you can also play your own value preliminarily, so that you will enter the professional basketball world in the future, the benefits are undoubted. ”

At night, Tang Qian found a quick hotel at random, lying on the bed, he silently looked at the ceiling and said:

"U17? I've got to take it! ”

When he got up in the morning, Tang Qian cleaned up and washed up, then packed his luggage and got on the bus to the training base.

Today, the road conditions in the capital are not blocked, so it only took 45 minutes for Tang Qian to reach the gate of the training base.

After letting the doorman check his ID card, Tang Qian walked in with his luggage.

"Papa

As soon as he approached the gymnasium, Tang Qian heard a large number of basketball beatings, and since the main entrance of the gymnasium was not closed, Tang Qian walked in directly.

Although it was not yet the required assembly time, nearly half of the training team members arrived in the gymnasium early. Seeing that they are talking and laughing, they should have known each other before, or they have met before.

"Newcomer? Brother face, which place is the team? A boy with a northeastern accent asked.

"I'm not from the provincial team." Tang Qian replied.

"Oh? Which sports school is that? The Northeast boy continued.

"I went to a regular high school." Tang Qian replied truthfully.

"Regular high school?" The Northeast man was stunned, and then said, "Then you are from the second and third teams of the CBA?" ”

"Not really."

The Northeast man scratched his head and said, "Then you were born in a basketball family?" ”

He asked this, which can be regarded as reasonable, like Yao Ming and Guo Allen, they were born in a basketball family and were born with relatively good genes.

Tang Qian still shook his head.

This is not, that is not, the Northeast man was stunned by Tang Qian's identity, he looked at Tang Qian again, and muttered secretly in his heart: No, this height, this body, is definitely a basketball player, how can it be nothing? Could it be that he was joking with me?

"Ji Wei, don't ask, this person must be the 'amateur' player who tops Li Wei."

"Is that him?"

The Northeast man's tone suddenly became cold, and he stopped talking to Tang Qian.

Feeling the atmosphere of everyone, Tang Qian didn't care, because he knew that this was the "professional orientation" of domestic basketball, and he was a person who had never even played CUBA, so he was naturally not taken seriously by these "professional students" who were "well-rooted".

But it doesn't matter, what kind of strength he is, Tang Qian himself knows best.

I can't afford to fight with this group of people.

Putting down his luggage and backpack, Tang Qian began to warm up alone, but his warm-up method was quickly ridiculed and ridiculed by this group of "college students".

"Sure enough, he is a half-hanger who walks through the back door, and he can't even warm up basically, I really don't know why Coach Li brought him over."

"Forget it, I guess it's the son-in-law of which family, I want to come to the U17 youth team to experience the atmosphere."

"It makes sense, as soon as you look at his posture, you know that he is definitely a layman."

"Hehe, but it's good to get a straw bale."

"The benefits? What are the benefits? ”

"Do you think, in exchange for this kind of person, Coach Li will definitely let him guard the water dispenser, so that we will have more playing time?"

"Hey, yes, yes, if Li Wei is replaced, it will definitely be the first to bear the brunt, and my playing time will be reduced, after all, the position I play overlaps with Li Wei's position."

For these "rumors", Tang Qian turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't see it, and just warmed up by himself.

After a while, a few more training team members came, and they talked to those who came earlier, and they also walked to the side, ignoring Tang Qian, as if there was no such person in the entire gymnasium.

The atmosphere was quite solemn.

However, Tang Qian, as a party concerned, did not have any intention of expressing his position, and still warmed up unhurriedly.

Ten minutes later, a figure entered, attracting everyone's attention.

This person is the head coach of the U17 national youth team this time, Li Qiuping.

Speaking of this Li Qiuping, if you don't usually pay attention to domestic basketball, you may be very unfamiliar with him, but for people who usually pay attention to domestic basketball, when it comes to this person, it is still famous and thunderous. Putting aside some of his own resume, just his insight and meticulous carving of Yao Ming have laid a solid foundation for Chinese basketball in the next ten years, and this achievement alone is enough to make people respect. What's more, he also went to the NBA to hone his skills for a period of time last year, and his vision and coaching ability are first-class among famous domestic coaches.

"Okay, let's stop and assemble."

After Li Qiuping gave an order, everyone put down the basketball in their hands, and then neatly lined up one by one.

Leaving a good impression on the manager is something that every player should know very well, after all, in the U17s, the middle-aged man in front of him has absolute control.

Whether it is the main force or the substitute, the rotation or the water cooler, it all depends on his "Sacred Heart Dictatorship".

"Hello everyone, I am the head coach and leader of the U17 national youth team this time, and in the next week, I will train you well, so that you can cultivate tacit understanding and improve your strength before you go to Lithuania." Li Qiuping was concise and to the point, without superfluous nonsense, and then said: "Let's all briefly introduce ourselves, starting from the right." ”

"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Jiwei, 16 years old this year, from Liaoning, 1.85 meters tall, weighing 70 kilograms, and the main position is to organize the guard." The northeastern boy who started talking to Tang Qian took a step forward and said loudly.

"Hehe, Jiwei, you performed well in the U16 game, Coach Wang specially recommended you to me, don't let me down." Li Qiuping looked at Zhao Jiwei and smiled gently.

"Yes, Coach, I'm definitely going to do my best." Zhao Jiwei replied excitedly.

"Okay, next."

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Delong, and I ...... this year"

"Hello everyone, my name is Ma Wu, and I ...... this year"

The team members reported their names and locations one by one, and Tang Qian stood at the end, so he was not in a hurry.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Qi, 16 years old this year, from Henan, 2.14 meters tall, weighing 90 kilograms, the main position is the center, the big forward."

This handsome boy who spoke attracted Tang Qian's attention, not only because of his height, but also because of his name.

Zhou Qi, before Tang Qian crossed over, this person was the future star of the Chinese team, and the hope and hope in him were no less than that of Yi Lianlian back then. And according to Tang Qian's recollections, this person seems to have a great potential to enter the NBA in the future, and his heritage and potential are really not to be underestimated, and he can be called a rising star.

It's just that he is still a little different from what Tang Qianqian sees in the future.

The first is that the height has not reached its peak, and the second is the weight, which is a little more skinny than the future "big devil".

Although Tang Qian has not watched his game in the U17, judging from the later videos, this big boy is characterized by his height and long arms, flexible feet, outstanding defense, plus good shooting touch and athleticism, which made him the biggest dark horse in the U17 World Youth Championships, and laid a solid foundation for the future "Big Demon King" in one fell swoop.

"Xiao Zhou, you performed brilliantly in the U16 final, and I hope that this U17 will be as good as ever."

"Well, I will, Coach Lee." Zhou Qi nodded lightly.

It can be seen that there is a slight arrogance in him.

It's not a bad thing to be arrogant, especially since he has just beaten the quadrant in the final of the Under-16 and won the terrifying stats, such a performance, a little pride, is not intolerable. Thinking about it from another perspective, if Tang Qian suddenly achieved such a result, he couldn't help but flutter for a few days.

This person will be his competitor this time.

Tang Qian said silently in his heart.

Finally it was Tang Qian's turn, he took a step forward and said with full of energy: "Hello everyone, my name is Tang Qian, from H Province, two meters and one four, one hundred and four kilograms in weight, and the position is the center." ”

Tang Qian could feel that when he was talking, Zhou Qi on the side was also secretly looking at him.

Because of the U17 youth team this time, there are only two of them in the entire team who are above two meters tall.

One Tang Qian, one Zhou Qi.

And coincidentally, the height values of the two are exactly the same, and they are generally the same.

It's like.

He is a natural adversary.

"It turns out that you are Tang Qian, your physical foundation is good, this time you will practice hard with the team, and you will definitely get a considerable improvement." Li Qiuping nodded towards Tang Qian.

But when Tang Qianqian heard this, he frowned slightly.

Because he heard Li Qiuping's off-string sound.

What does this mean......

Li Qiuping felt that he was just a person who came to learn from experience and observe tactics, which is commonly known as soy sauce.

How does this work?

Regarding this point, Tang Qian really didn't think about it, Li Qiuping's original intention was like this.

After all, the main center has already been decided, that is, Zhou Qi, who has a bright future and has just made a big show in the U16, as for Tang Qian, he is one year older than Zhou Qi, and he is really not optimistic about Li Qiuping. However, for the sake of Cheng Jianguo's face, Li Qiuping still decided to give Tang Qian a few minutes of playing time, so as not to be complained by old friends when he turned around.

For a whole week, Tang Qian was arranged in the corner and practiced alone.

Tang Qian was a little annoyed, but he didn't complain, he just looked at this group of "college students" coldly, and didn't say a word.

Because of Tang Qian's silence, the other U17 team members didn't tease him, but just ignored the person in the corner, as if he was air.

A week's intensive training passed quickly, and during this period, Tang Qian did not have a big joint practice with this group of "teammates" except for his own solo practice. Oh no, if you count the warm-up shots, there were still "a few times".

Although Li Qiuping also paid attention to this boy named Tang Qian at first, because Tang Qian was silent about any arrangement, after a long time, Li Qiuping gradually left him behind. After all, he is the head coach of the Under-17 this time, so it is impossible to keep his mind on a child who has never played "professional".

On the way to Kanas, Lithuania, Tang Qian was still silent, and even became more silent.

Because Tang Qian knew very well in his heart that he wanted to win the respect of this group of people, and it was useless to say more.

Only action can change everything.

What kind of advantage he has, Tang knows very well.

After all, starting tomorrow, it will be ten consecutive days of fierce competition, and if you want to relax, you can only wait until the U17 World Youth Championships is over. Ma Wu's proposal was immediately approved by everyone, so everyone summed it up, didn't do anything, and hurriedly went out despite their exhaustion.

However, this so-called "everyone" does not include Tang Qian.

Of course, Li Qiuping also knows about this, but he is not too demanding of this group of "children".

He sat in his room, holding the freshly baked grouping table in his hand, his expression visibly worried.

Group A, where the Chinese team is located, is a veritable group of death, with the United States, France, Australia, Egypt, and the Czech Republic. It can be said that except for Egypt, which is slightly weaker, the hard power of the other four countries is above the Chinese team. Li Qiuping turned around and looked at the situation of the other group, Group B was grouped into Lithuania, Croatia, Spain, Argentina, Canada, and South Korea, which were also not much better. Looking at the team participating in the U17 World Youth Championship this time, it is obviously much stronger than the last time. It is even more difficult to repeat the results of the last time.

If it weren't for the outbreak of Guo Ellen in the last session, how could China have made it to the seventh?

You must know that Guo Ailun in the last session averaged 22.4 points per game, ranking the scoring champion of the World Youth Championships! Can there still be such a person in this year's Chinese team?

Difficult!

You must know that U16 and U17 are two completely different concepts, maybe Zhou Qi can shine at the U16 Men's Basketball International Invitational Tournament, and can dominate the U16 Asian Youth Championship, but U17 ...... Li Qiuping did not dare to guarantee it.

The European and American races are not the same as the Oriental races, maybe they are still a child at the age of sixteen, but at the age of seventeen, they will grow like blowing up balloons, and their confrontation ability will surpass that of the Oriental race. So for Zhou Qi, although he also has expectations, but when it comes to expectations, it is still far away.

Li Qiuping was thinking about tactics.

Don't worry about dealing with Egypt in the first game, although Egypt is a big African country, the overall level of basketball is average, as long as there are no big mistakes, it should not be difficult to win the opener.

But the rest of the game is not easy to say.

Australia in the second, France in the third, the Czech Republic in the fourth, and the United States in the fifth, none of them were easy opponents. Thinking of this, Li Qiuping finally understood the pain of Fan Bin, who led the team last time, don't look at it as just a U17 game, but as long as it is crowned with a world-class name, it is not easy to win.

Li Qiuping put down the grouping table, picked up the tactical board in his left hand and the tactical pen in his right hand, and began to think hard and study the tactics carefully.

First of all, against the United States, needless to say, it was the same tactics as Van Bin last time, giving up strategically, and then concentrating on competing with other teams.

Li Qiuping knew that the Basketball Association gave him the task this time, at least to keep the results of the previous session, that is, the seventh place. However, it is easy for the officials above to move their mouths, but it is difficult for him, the coach, to carry it out.

stayed up until half past one midnight before Li Qiuping put down the tactical board and slowly fell asleep.

On the second day, on the eve of the battle against Egypt, mobilization before the war.

"The tactics are according to the way we played during the training camp, don't be too anxious, use Zhou Qi's height to score, the other party has no higher interior than us, so this advantage must not be forgotten. And ......" Li Qiuping's tone sank, and said: "The regulations of this World Youth Championships, I believe everyone knows in their hearts, you must win at least three games in the group stage to advance, so today against Egypt, it is the top priority, if you can't win, it will be even more difficult to turn the tables later." ”

"Okay, that's all I have to say, after all, the game is yours, and it's up to you whether you can win or not." Li Qiuping clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Come on!! ”

"Come on!!"

Everyone was enthusiastic.

After the warm-up of the two sides, they made their debuts, and China's lineup today is:

Zhou Qi, Liu Bo, Heng Yifeng, Xu Ziyang, Zhao Jiwei.

As expected, Tang Qian was a substitute, and next to the seat he was sitting next to the water dispenser.

However, the Egyptian team is really weak, and it was scored by Zhou Qi at the beginning, and the other players on the outside did not feel bad, so they directly poured a fourteen to two for the Egyptian team. Although the Egyptian team improved slightly after the pause, and began to constantly wrap Zhou Qi, but the Chinese team that had already played out of the outside line, broke through again and again, and frequently succeeded, and the first quarter passed, the score of the two teams had come to 25 to 9, and the Chinese team was ahead by a large score.

"Ji Wei, that whistle just now is handsome!"

"Haha, luck!"

Zhao Jiwei shook his hand and smiled quite proudly.

"Okay, I played well in the first quarter, and I have to continue to insist on it, as long as the opponent doesn't wrap it, give the ball to the inside." Li Qiuping commanded during the break.

The second quarter was still smooth sailing and uneventful.

After halftime, Yibian fought again, although the Chinese team initially fell into a scoring drought, but with Zhao Jiwei stepped forward, the Chinese team still maintained the lead.

"The opponent's defensive intensity has come up, everyone should pay attention to passing the ball, don't get too caught up in individual singles, and give the ball to empty teammates when you have the opportunity." Li Qiuping took the tactical board and circled it with a pen.

The entire fourth quarter became Zhou Qi's hot pot feast, due to his continuous blocking on the inside, the Egyptian players did not dare to get too close to the basket, so that the scores of the two sides became bigger and bigger, until the end, the Chinese team won the game with an advantage of 80 to 68, 12 points.

Since there was no press conference in the U17 group stage, the players all returned to the hotel happily after the game, and then chatted and all kinds of.

Sure enough, as in the memory of the previous life, the Egyptian team did not pose any threat to the Chinese team.

Tang Qian also followed back to the hotel, he didn't have any playing time in this game, and sat on the bench until the end.

And Zhao Jiwei, who got 25 points, vowed to kill Australia tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Australia is not so easy to win.

You didn't do it in your last life.

Will it work this time?

Tang Qian watched coldly.

PS:

For the plot and coherence of this book, Xiaozi advanced the second U17 World Youth Championships that took place in 2012, and then the game time also changed, as for other information, it was basically unchanged.

All changes in the future will be based on the plot.,If possible, Xiao Zi will also explain a little later in each chapter.,I hope you don't have to dig too deep.。

Xiao Zi Bai Xie Luo O(∩_∩)O

Anyway, this chapter is a public chapter, Xiao Zi will talk more nonsense, most of the basketball novels now are the beginning of two, either starting from high school and college, or directly starting from the NBA, I believe that Xiao Zi started from the U17 national youth team should be rarely used, so Xiao Zi wants to start and write the same basketball novel a little more novelly, and I also hope that through these chapters, everyone can learn more about basketball games outside the NBA.

Also, because I personally appreciate Coach Li Qiuping, Xiao Zi, the head coach this time, has also changed slightly, after all, he still has many scenes in the back, and it is definitely not a pure trick!!
