The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 234

Didn't stay long in Detroit, because Li Xun has more important things now.

The 2010 Men's Basketball World Cup!
Although the name has not been changed yet, it is still called the World Championships, but the World Championships are actually the same as the World Cup, only the name is different.

Because of football, maybe the name of the World Cup is obviously higher.

If the men's football team can win a World Cup championship, Li Xun probably will be enough to cause some domestic fans to die of sudden excitement.

Of course, everyone knows that this is impossible, at least before qualifying for the World Cup, it is completely impossible.

Li Xun got on the plane to Shanghai overnight, and then joined his teammates from the national team to prepare for the training camp.

Yao Ming lived in the hospital in Los Angeles for half a month, and now he has returned to China.

It is not yet known whether he will be able to play in the World Championships next.

If Yao Ming can participate, Li Xun is really sure to win the World Championships.

After all, this year's Dream Team lineup is really rubbish.

Under normal circumstances, the lineup of the dream team is inside Chandler plus Love.

Then there are Odom, Durant, Granger, Gay and Iguodala at the forward position.

The guards include Billups, Rose, Westbrook, Curry and Roundface.

The result may be that Li Xun, the butterfly, flapped its wings, causing Curry and Odom to not participate.

The reason why Curry did not participate in the competition is actually related to Li Xun, or it can be said that it has nothing to do with it.

It's not that he is worried about winning the Chinese team led by Li Xun in the dream team lineup, but that he really doesn't want to play in this World Championship.

Under normal circumstances, the main reason why he participated in the competition was actually to gain a greater reputation.

Even his eligibility, the old Curry must have helped in it.

But what fame does Curry need now, he is already one of the most dazzling new stars in this league.

Holding the championship trophy in hand, next season has an infinite probability of being selected to the All-Star team.

With this skill, it would be better to accompany his fiancée Ayesha.

This young couple is really gluey. After talking for so many years, they are still in love.

Every time after a game, Curry must be buried in his mobile phone in the locker room to send messages to Ayesha.

As for Odom not participating, the reason is even simpler.

Their Lakers were hammered by the Pistons this season, and they are preparing to avenge the Pistons next season.

What if Odom is injured in the World Championships?Who will bear this risk?

So even if Odom wants to come, the Lakers management can't agree.

Thaddeus Young and Ray Allen Sr. replaced Odom and Curry, respectively.

Li Xun never expected Ray Allen to play this kind of game.

After arriving in Shanghai, Li Xun met Sun Yue whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The UAE is gaining momentum now. He has played for three seasons now. This offseason, he will be able to renew his contract with the Pistons in advance.

Because the contract he signed at the time was 3+1, and the last year was a team option.

In order to make Yi Jianlian more loyal to the Nets, the Nets have announced that they will give up the team option and will sign a maximum salary contract with Yi Jianlian.

With the rise of the team's salary cap, the UAE can even sign a five-year $5 million contract this time.

This is even more earned than Li Xun.

Of course, it's just that the salary contract is more than Li Xun's. In terms of other business, Yi Jianlian's current income is not even a fraction of Li Xun's.

Sun Yue also renewed his contract with the Rockets, and the Rockets gave him a 4-year 1700 million contract.

The four-year salary is exactly the same as Yi Jianlian's one-year salary.

This is definitely comparing people to people, and it's maddening.

Back then, Sun Yuena rose faster than Yi Jianlian.

But with Sun Yue's current strength, this contract is not a bad treatment for him.

After all, Ariza's contract is not much more than Sun Yue's.

Now Sun Yue is competing against Ariza, and the styles of the two are somewhat similar.

However, Sun Yue has an extra outstanding ball-handling ability. If his three-pointers can be improved next, his worth should actually be much higher than Ariza.

"Brother Li, what magic power do you think you have?"

"Ah Lian chatted with you for a while, and he was about to be laid off, and became a league super giant."

"Would you like to talk to me a little longer?"

Sun Yue said to Li Xun indiscriminately.

But although what he said was ugly, it was indeed the truth.

At that time, the UAE was indeed facing layoffs, and it is indeed a star now, but the super giants don't seem to be counted.

"You don't have to be silly."

"That's because Ah Lian worked hard enough, and I can be super giant after just a few words? That super giant is too worthless."

"And don't I talk to you less? You guy lived with me for several months!"

Li Xun said to Sun Yue angrily.

Sun Yue laughed, he really envied Ah Lian, and now he has set his goal of catching up with Ah Lian.

It is definitely impossible to catch up with Li Xun and Yao Ming.

However, it seems that there is still a chance to catch up with the United Arab Emirates.

"By the way, Brother Li, how is Brother Yao's injury?"

"Will you still be able to play in the World Championships?"

Ah Lian asked Li Xundao with a worried face.

Li Xun shook his head, "I don't know, I'm recuperating now."

"If you hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you need at least three months to recuperate."

"The World Championships are in September, and there are still more than two months left."

"If you recover well, you may be able to play. If you don't recover well, you may miss the game next season."

Now Li Xun can only pray that Yao Ming can recover faster and strive to catch up with this year's World Championships.

He is bound to win this year's World Championships.

Now with the rise of the UAE, even without Yao Ming, the Tianchao men's basketball team has a chance to win the championship.

But the odds are certainly not high.

Because in terms of formation, Li Xun will line up with the United Arab Emirates on the inside, and there is only one Sun Yue on the outside who can carry the banner of offense and defense.

Or Li Xun guards the inside line alone, and let Ah Lian play the outside line.

Anyway, Li Xun must play inside.

If Yao Ming was there, the situation would be completely different.

Yao Ming was even able to guard the penalty area alone, allowing Li Xun and Ah Lian to pull out to play outside.

The training camp lasted until the end of August.

The effect of the training camp is still very ideal, although in such a short period of time, it is not possible to improve any strength.

But at least the cooperation between Li Xun and his teammates is much more skillful.

It is definitely more tacit than when we played in the East Asian Games before.

In the previous East Asian Games, in fact, there was no need for tacit understanding at all. Li Xun was playing singles alone.

But now against a team like the Dream Team, if they don't cooperate, they will definitely lose miserably.

Take passing as an example. If you are not familiar with Li Xun's passing habits, you will easily make mistakes.

What is certain is that when the time comes to face the Dream Team, Tang Shuai will probably send many people to double-team Li Xun.

That's right, this year's dream team coach happens to be Tang Shuai.

As Li Xun's head coach, he knows Li Xun too well. If he doesn't put pressure on Li Xun, he can beat any team by himself.

On September 9st, the men's basketball players boarded a plane to Istanbul.

The World Championships will be held in Istanbul.

According to the previous grouping, the men's basketball team was assigned to Group C, which was considered a relatively perfect grouping, avoiding the strongest teams.

The opponents in the same group include the hosts Turkey, Da Mao, Greece, Côte d'Ivoire and Puerto Rico.

Among them, Da Mao's strength is not bad, but he has not been able to do it in the past two years.

The real threat to this Chinese men's basketball team is the dream team and those European and American powerhouses.

Yao Ming recovered from his injury well, and this time he came to Istanbul with the team.

"Brother Yao, I said you really don't need to come."

"If it hurts, it's too much to lose."

"We still have the 2012 Olympics to play."

Li Xun knew that Yao Ming hadn't recovered to his best condition yet, so he didn't want Yao Ming to take risks.

"It's okay, I won't play for a long time."

"And the group stage and those underdogs, I don't play, so it's not a big problem."

"It's hard to come across such a good opportunity to win the championship, and I can't miss it."

Yao Ming really cares about this World Championship.

He has led the Tianchao men's basketball team for so many years, and he has won the eighth place in the Olympic Games, but the World Championships is actually quite miserable.

The best time was the 02 World Championships in Indianapolis, where they finished [-]th.

The embarrassing thing is that there were a total of twelve teams participating that time, so regardless of the ranking, it was okay, but in fact they lost badly.

The number of teams participating this time has reached 24, which is already the most solemn men's basketball world championship in history.

It happened that the men's basketball team was still strong, so Yao Ming didn't want to miss this opportunity no matter what.

Li Xun nodded, Yao Ming was right.

It is not unacceptable not to play in the group stage, but to play for a while at a critical moment.

The opponent in the first game of the group stage is the Greek team led by Jonas.

Domestic fans are undoubtedly very familiar with Jonas, that is, he led the Tianchao men's basketball team to the No.8 good result in the Olympic Games.

Just two years have passed, and the Tianchao men's basketball team has changed.

Before the start of the game, Jonas enthusiastically came up to the men's basketball coach Guo Shiqiang to say hello.

The two chatted.

If Yunus had known that there would be a BUG player like Li Xun rising, but he probably would have slapped his face on the Tianchao men's basketball team.

With the rise of Li Xun, the strength of the United Arab Emirates has skyrocketed, and Sun Yue has also improved significantly.

Coupled with the high-end combat power of Yao Ming, this Chinese men's basketball team is already qualified to be called the dream team.

Leading such a team, Jonas felt that if he played in the Olympics again, not to mention the gold medal, at least he could get a silver medal.

If he can lead his team to win the silver medal in the Olympics, his worth and status will skyrocket.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now, and all the credit has been taken by Guo Shiqiang, the youngest coach in the history of the men's basketball team.

Guo Shiqiang was really lucky. He just became the coach of the men's basketball team in 09. Because of his lack of qualifications, he was promoted exceptionally.

As a result, Li Xun's rise happened just after his debut, and he is definitely the son of destiny.

The game officially begins.

Although Yao Ming was not on the court, but Li Xun sat under the basket, and the Greek team, which played from the very beginning, could not find North at all.

The international ranking of the Greek team is actually quite high, as high as the fourth in the world, and they also have the best record of winning the silver medal in the World Championships.

It's a pity that the lineup of the Greek team this year really lives up to their team name, it is thin and thin.

There isn't a single decent star on the team.

Basketball is played by stars. Although this statement is too biased, it is actually quite reasonable.

After all, there are only five players on the basketball court, and the role of a top star can at least increase the overall combat power by [-]%.

What about two stars?How about three or even five?
That will crush the opponent in all directions.

Although relying on tactics and cooperation can make up for some gaps in strength, it is difficult to make up for the gap in players' strength to an outrageous level.

Now the Greek team and the Chinese men's basketball team are in a similar situation.

In terms of tactics or cooperation, the Greek team may be superior, but Li Xun and A Lian on the field are not just decorations.

Li Xun sits under the basket, grabs rebounds and defends the opponent's inside offense.

Even for some mid-range shots, because Li Xun's speed has skyrocketed now, he can quickly jump out of the penalty area to block the shot.

The UAE focuses on outside offense, using its top mid-range shooting ability to tear apart the opponent's defense.

And the perimeter defense of Ah Lian and Sun Yue, especially because of their height, they are simply killers in terms of anti-projection.

The Greek team's offense is now facing a very humble dilemma.

It's not easy to shoot outside, so I wanted to go to the penalty area to give it a try, but in the penalty area, there was Li Xun, a blocking maniac, sitting in the penalty area.

After the game ended, the Tianchao men's basketball team beat the Greek men's basketball team 101:66.

This is the fourth-ranked team in the world, and it ended up being brutalized by the Chinese men's basketball team.

The fans are also very clear that this world ranking is actually a cover.

The basketball rises faster and falls faster.

Often when a top star appears in a country, it may lead the national team to climb many rankings.

But once the top stars retire, the ranking will drop immediately.

The Tianchao men's basketball team is a typical example.

But even so, the Tianchao men's basketball team can beat Greece so violently, which still fills the hearts of Tianchao fans with fantasy.

Maybe this time I really have the opportunity to taste the taste of the champion.

Next, they played against Côte d'Ivoire and Puerto Rico. The Chinese men's basketball team won again, and all won by more than [-] points.

It's not that Li Xun is unhappy with the national team, but that the strength of both sides is really that great.

Next, they fought Da Mao, but they organized some decent resistance.

Kirilenko was surprisingly effective in defending the UAE, allowing the UAE to score only 13 points.

But even so, relying on Li Xun's absolute rebounding advantage, the men's basketball team still won.

In the end against the native chicken, it was still a big victory.

After the group stage, Li Xun led his team to a complete victory, qualified first in the group, and advanced to the round of [-].

In Group AB's duel, Li Xun's Group C will face No.4 in Group D.

Group D can be said to be the group of death. There are many strong teams in the group. In the end, Kama will qualify as No.4.

Li Xun secretly thought it was a pity, because the opponent he most wanted to play in the round of [-] was Little Bowl.

Where is Li Xun's opponent in Canadian Ma University? This game was brutally abused by Li Xun with 33 points and 27 rebounds.

In the following quarter-finals and semi-finals, the Chinese men's basketball team continued to maintain a winning streak, and the average point difference per game was even higher than that of the dream team.

If you look at it this way, it seems that even if Yao Ming doesn't need to appear, Li Xun can lead the team to the Hammer Dream Team.

In the next semi-final, a speechless scene happened.

The Tianchao men's basketball team and the dream team were actually in the same group.

In other words, for the two strongest teams, the loser can only get a bronze medal at most.

Under such circumstances, Yao Ming couldn't sit still, and wanted to appear on stage no matter what he said.

The gold medal is right in front of him, of course Guo Shiqiang has no reason not to agree.

Li Xun could only agree. Without Yao Ming, it would not be so easy to win the Dream Team.
