Chapter 786 Success
Although envious of Li Nan and Yi Jianlian's achievements today, Yao Ming is still very proud.Although he did not directly participate in the World Cup, he has always been with the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team.The Tianchao men's basketball team can achieve today's achievements, and he should have a share of the credit in the military medal.

A few years ago, when Yao Ming took over as the chairman of the Basketball Association, he was faced with a mess that couldn't be worse. However, he never thought of backing down, but made up his mind to bring the basketball of China.On the one hand, as a former national player, I really don't want to see the Chinese men's basketball team sinking; on the other hand, it is the pressure from all walks of life.In everyone's mind, Yao Ming is a professional basketball player and the most suitable person to lead the Chinese men's basketball team out of the predicament.

At the beginning of taking office, he carried out many reforms.Including changing the selection system of the national team from recruitment to invitation, splitting the men's basketball national team into two, giving more players opportunities to exercise, and actively promoting the more mature development of the CBA... It seems that the development of these years Not bad, but everyone knows that both Yao Ming and the Tianchao men's basketball team need a sufficient amount of competition results to prove their achievements.

This year's World Cup is a very suitable opportunity.Not only can you test the results of the previous two years, but you can also sharpen your knife for next year's Olympic Games.It just so happened that the World Cup was held in Tianchao again, which created a very friendly environment for the Tianchao men's basketball team.

In fact, since the start of the World Cup, Yao Ming has always been worried.It wasn't until the end of the first round of the group stage that he breathed a sigh of relief.He is very aware of the abilities of the players. Although there is an old and strong Yi Jianlian in the team and An Luo who is a super scorer, there should be a group of role players with good talent and immediate combat ability, but these guys are compared with his teammates back then. Up, there is still a certain gap.Unexpectedly, the players performed so well in the three group matches of the first stage, and directly won the second round of the group stage.

It wasn't until the Tianchao men's basketball team defeated the Russian men's basketball team, achieved the expected goal, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup ahead of schedule, that Yao Ming really felt relieved.In fact, at this point, the mission of the men's basketball team has been accomplished very beautifully.Whether it is Yao Ming or Li Nan or the players and fans, they are all satisfied.This has already tied the best record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, which is not easy for a team that is not too strong.

Later, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly beat the Spanish men's basketball team in the quarterfinals, which made Yao Ming very happy!Over the years, the Spanish men's basketball team can be said to be one of the strongest teams in the international arena!Since 1994, the Tianchao men's basketball team has struggled to win against the Spanish men's basketball team in all previous top international competitions.It can be said that before that game, everyone including Yao Ming was not optimistic about An Luo and the others.Although Yao Ming still appeared on the sidelines and personally went to the scene to cheer for the players, what he only wanted to see was that the Chinese players should show their momentum in the game and not disappoint the folks in their hometown.

Unexpectedly, these players not only did not disappoint them, but also broke the highest record held by generations of basketball players, and advanced to the semi-finals of the top international basketball tournament for the first time.Yao Ming was also a little surprised. Although he repeatedly emphasized An Luo's unreasonable three-pointers and the Spanish men's basketball team's defensive mistakes in subsequent interviews, he seemed calm and calm, but he was extremely happy in his heart.

At this time, the Tianchao men's basketball team has handed over an extremely perfect answer sheet to fans across the country and people from all walks of life.Although there are still semi-finals to be played, Yao Ming didn't expect anything.But he is confident that in the near future, the Chinese men's basketball team will be able to defeat those world-class teams again and stand at a higher position.With the Chinese men's basketball team in his hands, it is not only about returning to the top of Asia, but also becoming a world-class team in a real sense.

But what Yao Ming never expected was that this day came so early.Once again, the Tianchao men's basketball team defeated a team with stronger paper strength than itself when it was not favored by the world.

This Australian men's basketball team is different from the Australian men's basketball team that An Luo defeated two years ago. The Australian men's basketball team in the Asian Cup was just a patchwork team. The team doesn't even count.The Australian men's basketball player who played against An Luo two years ago, this time there was none.So, what an incredible thing when the Chinese men's basketball team defeated such an Australian men's basketball team!You know, when the Serbian men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team were upset, the Australian men's basketball team became the team with the best chance of winning the World Cup.But it was such a strong team that fell at the gate leading to the final at the last moment of the game.

After a brief celebration, Li Nan and An Luo were interviewed by reporters on the spot.Li Nan, who is not confused about his views on this game, is extraordinarily humble.

"Although we won the game, it was an unexpected result! The overall level of the Australian men's basketball team is above ours. Their players and offensive and defensive systems are very good. They are indeed the strongest among all the top four teams One. However, there are many factors that affect the game, and the performance of the players in the game is quite important. Our players, such as An Luo, Ah Lian, Zhou Qi, etc., performed very well in normal games. They used the most Active scrambling and the most focused offensive and defensive attitude won this game with difficulty. Another reason is that we want to win too much! In the game, we once took some leads. But the opponent quickly regained the advantage , the good thing is that our players gritted their teeth and persisted. Especially in the final stage, we relied on our excellent offense to stabilize the situation when the opponent overtook the score several times in a row. In the end, An Luo made the lore The ball. Actually, we are not surprised at all. For An Luo, such a ball is not difficult. All we have to do is pass the ball to him."

An Luo felt a little embarrassed about Li Nan's undisguised compliment.He stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said to the reporter: "We played a very beautiful offense. Abdu and Ah Lian feigned offense twice, attracting the opponent's defensive attention. In the end, I received a pass from my teammate. That is the rhythm I am very familiar with. Ah Lian passed very comfortably. I was the most relaxed during the whole process. When I was shooting, no one came to defend me. Mills was blocked by Ah Budu. It's easy to get in."
