In August 2013, the Philippines will hold an Asian Men's Basketball Championship.

Originally, the Asian Championships were held in Lebanon, but due to security issues, it was changed to the Philippines.

Lebanon is also relatively unlucky, the last 11 years was also going to host the Asian Championships, but because the facilities could not keep up, had to give up temporarily, this time the facilities were finally up, but because of safety problems again forced to close!

If you could speak, you would definitely ask if you want to come to Lebanon:

"I just want to hold an Asian Championship, recruit whoever provokes me! 5555……”

Gossip aside, this Asian Championships is still more important for the Chinese team, after all, this is the Asian regional selection competition for the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and it is very important for the next Olympic Games and the World Championships to achieve good results here.

The Chinese team just lost in London last year, and now it is actually training for the next Olympics.

Of course, this is also the Chinese team now that there is no one, when Yao Ming was there in the past, what Asian Championships are not Asian Championships, that is for playing, there is no need to give all your strength at all, you can win the championship at will, and then get a ticket to the Olympic Games.

But since Yao Ming was injured and retired, the pressure on the Chinese team in the Asian Championships has increased! In 09, Tianjin defeated Iran, 11 was the last narrow victory over Jordan, and in 13 years, if according to the original history, the Chinese team is not even the top four!

You must know that including Yao Ming, who was not at his peak or even before, the Chinese team has always been a big killer in the Asian basketball world! When will the Asian Championships give the Chinese team a headache?

Before Qin Yan announced that he would join the national team and participate in the Asian Championships this year, fans were not very optimistic about the schedule of the national team, because Iran and South Korea have developed well in basketball recently, and they have the posture of taking advantage of the fact that Chinese basketball has no backbone.

But Qin Yan's appearance changed all this, first staged one person to destroy one country, beat South Korea's strongest national team lineup to the knees and begged for mercy, and then announced in a high-profile manner that he would join the national team, all of which made people look forward to the performance of the national team again.

Yes, Yao Ming is really gone, but we still have Qin Yan, the same NBA main star, and Qin Yan is an outside lineman, and the deterrent power is sometimes greater than that of the inside line!

Especially South Korea, Japan and other teams that don't have enough outside lines to make up, meet real outside kings, hum, enough for them to drink a pot!

The start time of the Asian Championships is August 1st, and it is now late July, and there is still more than a week to prepare for the national team.

"Duffy, in this way, if you go to the Asian Championships, Japan will not be able to go this time." Qin Yan looked at his itinerary and said to Duffy, "Otherwise, I will return the itinerary in Japan, after all, the Asian Championships are what I must participate in, and as a newcomer, I still have to have a nomination." ”

Although Duffy was a little helpless, he still agreed, after all, the original plan for a trip to Japan was in early August, but at that time the Asian Championships were underway, if Qin Yan did not enter the national team, it would be good to say, now that he has entered the national team, if he does not play in the Asian Championships, but goes to Japan to run the itinerary, then there is no need to think that Qin Yan will be scolded to death by Chinese netizens.

However, the Asian Championships are also okay, and it can just add some popularity to Qin Yan, especially after Qin Yan was busy making movies this offseason, many people suspected that Qin Yan had wasted his ball skills.

Although it was said that the South Korean men's basketball team was swept just a few days ago, the problem is that Korean basketball is not good in the first place, and it doesn't mean anything if it is swept away.

The Asian Championships are different, it is also the highest-level basketball league in Asia, and what level Qin Yan is at now can be seen at a glance.

"Okay, let's change the itinerary for you, and the next itinerary will be in line with their training camp, although I don't think this level of training is necessary at all."

Duffy feels that his players and those people in the Chinese national team are not on the same level at all, and in this case, the training camp is actually useless, just like the full-level characters in the game go to the novice village to fight the level 1 monster, there is no sense of accomplishment at all, and it is a waste of time.

Of course, Qin Yan wouldn't think so, after all, he was an outside player. You still need to cooperate with your teammates, and you can't be like Yao Ming, just get stuck in the position and ask for the ball after entering the inside line.

The speed of teammates, the strength of passing, the IQ of running, eye contact when making feints, etc., are all things that outside players must consider, but if these things are not considered well, then the outside line of the whole team will be instantly chaotic and not cooperate to fight separately.

Moreover, Qin Yan doesn't want to be said to be a big name, and you won't go if everyone goes to the training camp? Then you also announced your participation in the national team in a high-profile manner? Isn't this a big name, is it?

Therefore, after communicating with Yao Ming, Qin Yan also successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the men's basketball training camp, and he will train together like everyone else, and then go to the Philippines together.

"By the way, who is the head coach of the men's basketball team this year?" Qin Yan suddenly remembered this serious question, he couldn't even know who the head coach was, that would be too much.

"It seems to be called Yannaski or Kisi, anyway, it's not you Chinese." Duffy said that he was not interested in this, as long as Qin Yan went to the Asian Championships and was not injured, he didn't care about the rest. "By the way, if you go this time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who are not convinced, so pay more attention to yourself."

Qin Yan had already thought of it, someone in the national team was not convinced? Okay, just have one round, there's nothing that can't be ended in one game, if there is, then two.

……

The next day, Qin Yan went to the training stadium to report, and the first thing he saw was the new head coach of the national team, Giannakis.

This manager is a cute looking Greek old man, and it is said that he has been named one of the "50 best stars in Europe" by the Champions League.

This little old man's coaching philosophy is different from the previous head coach of the Chinese team, he emphasizes physical confrontation, and pays great attention to the overall cooperation of the team, the individual must serve the collective, not play a big name! He claimed that everyone, including himself, "was a fighter for the national team."

And this guy's requirements are very strict, high standards are strict, and he is almost training the team with the standards of the army.

What's even more troublesome is that this guy has a very bad temper, he has a nickname called "Tyrannosaurus", and he seems to be able to explode at any time, and he is often prone to conflict with players and leaders, and he is a little old man who is too easy to be anxious.

So although this guy's coaching ability is good, he hasn't been in the club or the national team for a long time, in short, his temper is too bad and no one wants to put up with it.

Well, in Qin Yan's words, this coach is a thorn, specializing in cleaning up those self-righteous players, very good, very strong, I like it.
