"It's finally time to get cleaner!" Zhang Guan leaned lazily on the sofa, holding a bowl of ice cream, eating with relish. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Now the media has given you a nickname, called 'God of War', very domineering, right?" He Yiming said with a smile: "Originally, there were several fighters who wanted to come to you to see the butterfly step, but now they are all shut up." It's just that some media are arching the fire. ”

"Arch fire? What do you mean? Zhang Guan asked.

"Those boxing commentators are analyzing all kinds of things, who is stronger, you or Klitschko Jr., boxing magazines and sports media are also happy to report this kind of news, that posture is like asking you to get Klitschko Jr. to fight as soon as possible, a fight, isn't this just arching fire?" He Yiming opened his mouth and said.

"Little Klitschko is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he is the heavyweight boxing champion of the four top competitions, so he can't stand the provocation of the media!" Zhang Guan said.

"Not necessarily, as far as I know, Klitschko Jr. is a very proud man, and he has never allowed anyone else to ride on his head, so he holds four heavyweight titles. If the WBC heavyweight champion is not his brother Klitschko, but someone else, I believe Klitschko Jr. will definitely challenge for his fifth world championship belt. He Yiming continued: "Besides, with your record and degree of attention, those bigwigs in Las Vegas must be very willing to pay hundreds of millions for you to play a game." You must know that driven by interests, even little Klitschko will choose to compromise no matter how proud he is. ”

Zhang Guan nodded, as long as he could give enough benefits, let alone Klitschko Jr., even Zhang Guan himself would compromise. Zhang Guan couldn't help but think of the battle of the century between Merseway and Pacquiao, the cumulative income of both sides exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the income of both sides exceeded 150 million US dollars.

Behind this war of the century, there are $600 million in revenue, including more than $400 million in pay-to-demand revenue, $71 million in game ticket revenue, $69 million in entertainment venue broadcast revenue, $1,320 in print advertising revenue in Las Vegas alone, and $35 million in international broadcast rights revenue, which does not include the income from the event hosting rights bought out by MGM Grand Hotel.

In fact, the $600 million is only a fraction of it, the real bulk of the revenue is the gambling income, the amount of regular gambling must be more than the $600 million by a single digit, and if you count the illegal periphery, it is normal to have an extra "zero" behind, to put it bluntly, what Mexico, Colombian drug lords, hard work for several years may not have this boxing betting.

The benefits of a top-level boxing match are too great, and it is precisely because of this that the match between Zhang Guan and Klitschko Jr. does not exist only in theory.

"Okay, let's not talk about boxing for now, now I'm scared of those boxers who come to find trouble, it is estimated that no one will harass me in a short time, and then I can go to see Lao Deng with peace of mind." Zhang Guan said.

"Old Deng? Who is Old Deng? He Yiming asked in surprise.

"Of course it's Deng Huade! The coach of the newcomers to the national team. Turkey's World Men's Basketball Championship is about to start! Zhang Guan said as he swiped his phone and found the grouping of the men's basketball team in the World Championships.

"The grouping of the World Championships seems to be different from what I remember! Why is it still the third grade, this kind of grouping, a bit of the feeling of the group stage of the Olympic Games! Zhang Guan thought silently.

……

The draw for the group stage of the World Men's Basketball Championship in Turkey was held in Istanbul as early as December 14 last year, and the 24 teams will compete in four groups.

In FIBA's group draw rules, the 24 teams will be divided into brackets, with the first bracket being the United States, Argentina, Spain and Greece; The second tranche is Serbia, Slovenia, France and Turkey.

Originally, the Chinese team was in the fifth bracket, and New Zealand, Iran, and Angola were grouped together, but due to the Olympic Games two years ago, this time FIBA put the national queue in the third bracket, the same bracket as Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Canada, and this is also the reason for the change in the grouping.

Zhang Guan originally thought that an Olympic champion would definitely have a chance to raise the Chinese team to the first level, and at worst he could get a second level, but FIBA only raised the Chinese team to the third level, obviously in the eyes of FIBA, the men's national basketball team is still not a strong team.

Of course, Zhang Guan is not the only one who feels unfair in his heart, such as Croatia and Lithuania, the two European powerhouses, have been placed in the fourth pot, while Australia, which is not weak, has been placed in the fifth pot. As for the sixth gear, such as Jordan, Lebanon, etc., the strength is really a little weak.

In the group stage grouping, each grade to take a team into a group, the original historical process, the Chinese team is divided into Group C, and Greece, Russia, Puerto Rico, Ivory Coast and the host Turkey team, although the Chinese team only won one Ivory Coast, was originally hopeless, but the last round of Ivory Coast defeated Puerto Rico, the Chinese team was ahead of the small score, so it was very lucky to qualify.

And this time, the Chinese team mentioned the third pot, and naturally it was impossible to be in the same group as Puerto Rico, and finally the Chinese team was divided into Group A. Argentina, Serbia, Germany, Angola and Jordan are in the same group.

This reminded Zhang Guan of the Olympics two years ago, when the Chinese team was also in the same group as Germany and Angola. At that time, the group was called the group of death, and in comparison, the current group is better, because there is such a weak team as Jordan.

The rule is that the fourth place in the group qualifies, so for the Chinese team, as long as it can defeat Angola and Jordan, it can guarantee the right to qualify, and if it defeats Germany again, maybe it can be mixed into a better group stage.

……

Bob Dunward, the American basketball coach, he is only 40 years old this year, which is definitely young among basketball coaches, at least for the Chinese national team, this foreign coach is indeed very young.

Compared with the previous Harris and Younas, Deng Ward does not have such a wonderful resume, his coaching career, for a long time as an assistant coach, as a head coach for a long time, but his record is very good, from another point of view, Deng Ward is not an internationally renowned coach, but has his own unique coaching style.

At this time, Deng Huade was holding the tactical board, looking worried.

"Bob (Dunward), you seem to have something on your mind, is there something wrong with your life?" The leader of the men's basketball team, Coach Gong, unknowingly appeared beside Deng Huade.

As the leader of the men's basketball team, Team Leader Gong is very concerned about the big and small things of the whole team, especially the young Coach Yang, who has already been on the daily attention list of Team Leader Gong.

"Gong, you have a lot of outstanding young people, but there are only twelve places that we can bring to Turkey, and among these twelve places, ten of them have been decided by your officials and must be brought to Turkey, and I can only choose two people from among the other candidates!" Deng Huade complained.

"The 10 spots we set are all the best players in our country. Several of them have NBA experience, and even NBA superstars, I don't think any team in any country will reject an NBA star except for the United States, right? Team Leader Gong said immediately.

"Well, I admit it, but some of them are really not fit to be on the field. For example, your number one star Da Yao, he is indeed the strongest center in the NBA, but don't forget, he is injured, and he just had surgery not long ago. Deng Huade continued: "Da Yao is working hard to recover, but recovery requires a process and time!" Although he can move now, he still can't train intensively, even with the ball is very difficult, let alone confrontational training, and I don't think he can recover before the World Championships. If he is forced to play, there is a high chance that he will be injured and injured, which will ruin his career! I don't think Da Yao should occupy a spot, even if he goes to Turkey, he may not be able to get on the field; Even if he is on the field, he may not be able to adapt to the intensity of the game, and he should be recovering from his injury now. ”

Without waiting for Gong's guidance, Deng Huade continued: "And that Zhang Guan, your killer feature, I heard before that when Da Yao is away, he will be your main point of attack, but now it is only a little more than a month away from the World Championships in Turkey, but I haven't even seen his shadow!" By the way, there is a lot of news about him, he won twelve opponents in six days, and he also earned the nickname of 'God of War'! That's really cool. But it's really hard for me to imagine that a basketball player will be boxing with a group of gorillas a month before the World Championships! ”

"Zhang Guan is our best athlete, you have seen his performance in the Olympics, and the final victory over the American team relied on his stunner." Director Gong said immediately.

"But basketball is a five-person sport! Everyone else is already familiar with my tactics, but Zhang Guan didn't even touch the ball, and with a month left, I think Zhang Guan will definitely not be able to integrate into my tactical system. Just imagine, in the game, a player who is always outside the tactical system is still the main point of attack of the team, and this game is simply not playable! Isn't it possible to let other players play fours and fives? Instead of giving him a spot, let me try the youngsters, they have a great understanding, they work the pitch and can adapt to my tactical system. Deng Huade said immediately.

"Four-five? Not really. It's possible to do five or dozen. Director Gong said with a smile.

"A dozen five? What do you mean? Deng Huade asked.

"It means that Zhang Guan can fight five alone." Coach Gong continued: "And Zhang Guan's tactical adaptability is very strong, Coach Younas even commented that Zhang Guan's tactical understanding and tactical execution are absolutely the top in the world, maybe he can't command a game, but he can definitely plan a perfect attack." Moreover, in our national team, there is a special tactic that is specially designed around Zhang Guan. ”

"The special tactics designed around Zhang Guan? Are you talking about opening up space for Zhang Guan to break through? I've seen footage of your games at the Olympics, and this kind of breakaway is very common in Europe. Deng Huade said immediately.

"No, no, no." Director Gong shook his head: "I'm not talking about breaking through the ball, the tactical name I'm talking about is 'give the ball to Zhang Guan'!" ”

"Yes." Deng Huade looked at Director Gong and waited for a few seconds, but found that Director Gong didn't say anything more, so Deng Huade involuntarily asked, "Then what?" ”

"What, then?" Director Gong asked inexplicably.

"How can this man say half of what he says!" Deng Huade complained in his heart, and then said: "Didn't you just say that you gave the ball to Zhang Guan?" And then what? ”

"No more!" Director Gong then explained: "This tactic is called giving the ball to Zhang Guan, and after that, there will be no other people's business, and Zhang Guan will naturally complete the attack." ”

"Uh......" Deng Huade was speechless for a while, he felt that Director Gong's answer was a bit nonsensical.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Zhang Guan will return to the team tomorrow." Director Gong continued.

"Zhang Guan returns to the team?" Deng Huade shrugged his shoulders: "To be honest, I really didn't plan to count on him. Since the end of the 2008 Olympics, he has not played for almost two years, and now, compared to the Olympics, I am afraid that he will not even have 30% of the level left! ”

……

"Zhang Guan, long time no see!" Da Yao stepped forward with a smile, followed by several other old acquaintances of the national team.

"How's your recovery going?" Zhang Guan looked at Da Yao's feet, and then asked, "Can you run?" ”

"The recovery is better than I expected, but I don't dare to do confrontational training at the moment, and hopefully by the time the World Championships start next month, I can play against it. The intensity of confrontation in international basketball is much lower than in the NBA, so I don't have to recover to the best, and if I can recover seventy or eighty percent, it will be enough to cope with the World Championships. Da Yao said.

"That is also provided that you don't run into the American team." Zhang Guan said.

"Rest assured, we're not in the same group as Team USA this time. Maybe we'll have to make it to the final again before we can meet the U.S. team! Da Yao approached and whispered: "Be careful when you see Deng Huade in a while, he has a lot of opinions about you!" ”

"Why? Because I'm not back until now? Zhang Guan asked.

"That's pretty much the reason, Americans, they always don't like others to be special." Da Yao said.

"It's okay, when he gets to the training ground in a while, he will naturally understand, if he has an opinion, he will keep it!" Zhang Guan said. (To be continued.) )
