On the morning of the 8th, everyone gathered in the arena, and the appearance of Yao Ming and Stephen Curry made all the Chinese and American young players excited, and many people came forward to ask for autographs and group photos, like a group of star chasers.

Both MVP and championship superstars represent the pinnacle of NBA interior and exterior prowess, out of reach for the Under-16 buddies, but everyone has similar dreams and hopes to reach that level in the future.

The first hour is spent introducing people to each other, and the players on both sides start to communicate, like that.

American player: "nice to meet you!" ”

Player: "sure." ”

American player: "ho are you?"

Player: "Oh, shit. ”

“……”

Not every Chinese is as proficient in English as Li Lei and Han Meimei, but fortunately, the Chinese side also brought a translator, so the exchange can go smoothly.

Yao Ming returned to the United States in advance to thank Yang Rui, and the other party paid for this training camp, and he couldn't help but show up.

Wang Peng, the leader sent by the Basketball Association, also solemnly thanked Yang Rui. "Mr. Yang, thank you for your generosity, which will be of great benefit to the future development of Chinese basketball, and if you go to China in the future, we will warmly welcome you."

"You're welcome, although I am an American citizen, I also have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, if I travel to China in the future, just help prepare a few good tour guides." Yang Rui smiled.

"Definitely, there will be bodyguards too, and we all over the country welcome you." Wang Peng said excitedly.

It sounds like a visit from a foreign leader, do you want to be on the news network?

Wang Peng is so excited, not for nothing. This training camp is linked to his work performance, as long as the U16 team successfully wins the Asian championship next month, and the U17 World Championship next year performs well, it will become an important qualification for his future promotion and salary increase.

Yang Rui didn't care about spending money, and after greeting the players, he was very happy and full of a sense of accomplishment.

The cost is only three million dollars, responsible for accommodation, air tickets, etc., which is trivial for him, and it is no problem to do it every year.

Before the media reporters arrived, the training camp was going to start for a while, and Yang Rui chatted with Yao Ming about Chinese basketball on the side.

Although he has not yet retired, now Yao Ming has begun to think about the path he will take after retiring in the future, like Yang Rui in his previous life, he hopes to join the Basketball Association, solve the shortcomings of "laymen in charge of insiders" in the Chinese sports circle, and do something practical for Chinese basketball.

Yao Ming said sincerely: "Relying only on my ability, when I become the chairman of the Basketball Association, I can probably only move the American basketball system, and the draft may not be applicable to China. ”

"No problem, as long as I can, I will definitely help you. In order to make the overall strength of Chinese basketball stronger, it is necessary to let more players go abroad, and it is not possible to do it behind closed doors. Only by competing with strong players can you see your own shortcomings. Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Well, that's what I thought too." Yao Ming nodded.

At that time, Chinese football had a successful example of youth training, that is, the "China Jianlibao Youth Team", which existed between 1992 and 1998, sponsored by Jianlibao Group, organized by the Chinese Football Association to send the best of the young players to Sao Paulo, Brazil and other places to learn football skills of a team, the head coach of the Jianlibao team is Zhu Guanghu.

The Jianlibao team visited football powerhouses such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, with a total of 165 games, of which nearly 40 were tough games, and the number of games is equivalent to 5 years in China. They have a record of 110 wins, 25 draws and 30 defeats, which is something to be proud of.

After returning to China, they represented China in the 1997 World Youth Championships and the World University Games, and although their results were not satisfactory, they were still highly expected by the Chinese people at that time.

In 1997, the six young players in the Jianlibao team, Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Sui Dongliang, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Weifeng, and Hao Wei were urgently recalled to China to participate in the Chinese national team training, among which Li Jinyu, Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui, and Sui Dongliang were successfully selected into the 1997 World Preliminaries Top Ten Tournament squad, known as the Four Little Swans.

During that time, Chinese football rose strongly, reaching the World Cup finals in 2002, which was the most glorious period.

At present, Chinese basketball has a tendency to move closer to football, and there is a lack of talents to succeed veterans, so the cultivation of young people cannot be ignored.

This year, in the seven technical statistics of the CBA regular season, the scoring champion was Quincy Dubie, a foreign aid from Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank, who averaged 32.5 points per game, which can't be mixed up in the NBA at all.

None of the domestic players in the seven individual lists are kings, and even on the scoring list, the top 9 players are all foreign aids, and Yi Jianlian's name did not appear until the 10th. This can't help but make people sigh even more, while each team benefits from foreign aid, does it also effectively improve the strength and level of local players?

Many basketball insiders bluntly said that the current CBA is fighting for foreign aid. Whichever team is willing to spend money on foreign aid will be able to greatly improve its strength. So the question is, Chinese players can't be the core in the CBA league, just role players play soy sauce, and when it comes to the international arena, how can the men's basketball team make a breakthrough?

What the Chinese basketball world wants to catch up with is not only superficial things, but more importantly, the training system. In addition to limiting the number of foreign aids, the best way is to engage in youth training.

Yang Rui does not know whether Yao Ming will become the chairman of the men's basketball team in the future, and he has a long way to go. He is willing to contribute to help, which is more meaningful than engaging in charity.

The two were chatting when they saw the players make way in the passage. Several bodyguards followed Nina Dobov into the arena, and Nina pushed a high-class stroller, and Shirley sat inside giggling and waving at Yang Rui.

"Daddy, we see you're here!"

Yang Rui hurriedly caught up and took Shirley's little hand and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"It's not fun at home." Shirley was very happy when she saw Yang Rui, screamed softly, and stood up from the stroller and stretched out her little arms to ask for a hug.

If it were an ordinary child, they wouldn't like this noisy environment, Shirley was taken to the scene by Scarlett to watch the ball game a few times, and she trained her iron nerves, and she actually liked this atmosphere a little.

Yang Yi leaned down and picked up Shirley skillfully, and the others looked sideways at this warm scene, not feeling that there was any disobedience to the child.

When he first debuted, Yang Rui dared to eat snacks on the sidelines during the game, and it has developed to this point, even if he takes his children with him to play a guest assistant coach and participate in the game at close range, everyone will only find it interesting, and will not spray Yang Rui for not doing his job.

Of course, Yang Rui will not do this, once the training starts, he will definitely let the child sit away from the court, especially Nina is by his side, and it is dangerous to be close to the court. Now Nina is still unlucky, and it is common for her to bump into movies when she makes movies......

A reporter at the scene took a close-up photo of Yang Rui holding his child, and Curry whispered to Yao Ming on the side: "Yao, do you want to hug his child, tomorrow's news may be interesting." I've seen the news that said you were holding a baby. ”

Yao Ming smiled very embarrassed, his news made a big joke, and it is often mentioned by people now.

Yao Ming went out with his daughter, who was less than a year old and wrapped in swaddling clothes, and was posted on the Internet by paparazzi street photographers.

Later, the reporter interviewed him, and Yao Ming said embarrassedly after looking at the photo: "That's my daughter." ”

But no matter how you look at the photo, it looks like he's holding a big hot dog, a big pancake, or something like that, and he will open his mouth to take a bite at any moment.

Another netizen left a message: Yao Ming's daughter is so young? I thought his baby would be born half a meter.

Since then, no one has photographed Yao Ming holding a child......
