Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 167 Dark Memories
Sakuragi: "In the next seven or eight years, Wang Dazhi will absolutely suppress Yao Ning. First of all, Wang Dazhi will be three years older than Yao Ning.

In addition, Wang Dazhi's technique is very proficient, and his inside footsteps are very, very gorgeous.

Moreover, at [-] meters, he can shoot three-pointers and hold the ball. It is recommended that defenders have a headache because he is still a left-hander. "

When mentioning Wang Dazhi's technique, Sakuragi couldn't help sighing.

Qingzi: "Could it be that Yao Ning will be stronger than Wang Dazhi in seven years' time?"

Sakuragi: "When Yao Ning's body is fully developed, he will complete the curve overtaking of all Asian opponents!

Yao Ning's self-discipline and hard work are unparalleled, and the biggest feature he is different from Wang Dazhi is that his defense can become the nightmare of every offensive player!

A [-] meter giant stands in the three-second zone, hey!It's scary to think about it! "

Haruko: "My brother can't even imagine what it will be like when he grows to 210 centimeters, a giant of 220 centimeters. My God!

But why are the contracts of these Huaxia players so difficult to finalize? In my heart, there is nothing that Yang Ping can't do! "

Sakuragi: "Don't look at China's basketball level alone in Asia, in fact, looking at the world's basketball level, China's basketball level is still not enough.

In Huaxia, the water in the basketball circle is deep! "

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Sakuragi's face was gloomy, and of course the delicate Haruko noticed Sakuragi's strangeness at the first time.

Haruko: "What's wrong, Sakuragi?

What's the trick here? "

Haruko knew that Sakuragi must have some knots on this matter.

Sakuragi: "Haruko, Yao Ning is 14 years old this year, if he is an NBA superstar who can be selected into the American Basketball Hall of Fame 20 years later.

But now he looks mediocre when he is playing in the youth team. Yao Ning is often knocked into a daze on the court.

Whether it's on the offensive end or on the defensive end, he can't keep up with the rhythm. Do you know why? "

Sakuragi looked at Haruko and said expressionlessly.

Haruko: "Could it be that the other players are too strong?"

Haruko asked tentatively.

Sakuragi: "No, because his opponents will modify their real age.

Yao Ning was born in 1980, and his youngest opponent was also in 1978, and even the players from 1975 were changed to the same age as him.

In the teenage years, every age gap is a huge chasm.

Therefore, Yao Ning has no advantage at all in such a competition environment. "

Thinking that Huaxia's athletes have almost no real age, Sakuragi's back molars itch with hatred.

Haruko: "Then why didn't Yao Ning change his real age?"

Haruko asked curiously.

Sakuragi: "Yao Ning's mother, Fang Fei, is the center forward of the Huaxia Women's National Basketball Team, and his father is also the main force of the Magic City basketball team. On the day he was born, many sports media rushed to report, not to mention whether Yao Ning's parents wanted to change the age of their son.

In Yao Ning's situation, there is no room for manipulation to modify the age. "

Haruko: "Oh, so it is like this!
It seems that no matter where the celebrities are in the world, there is no privacy at all.

But Yao Ning is too pitiful, every day he has to face opponents who are so much bigger than himself on the field.

Isn't this just junior high school students beating high school students?Really bullying! "

Haruko said angrily.

Sakuragi: "We have to look at this matter in two parts.

Being young will definitely be at a disadvantage in the competition, but playing leapfrog competitions all the year round has greatly improved Yao Ning's body, technique and even willpower.

This is why I dare to invite him to participate in the program "This Is Slam Dunk" when he is only 14 years old, which is at most the first year of high school. "

Haruko: "Sakuragi, there's one more thing I'm not sure about, why do young Chinese players choose to change their age?

Just to win?

Isn't it good to play basketball in an upright manner? "

Sakuragi: "There is a huge stake in this.

Chinese basketball and Japanese basketball are two completely different models. Chinese basketball is a national model, while Japanese basketball is a campus model.

China's national teams of all ages are composed of basketball players affiliated to various local sports bureaus.

Japan's national team is almost all selected from student players and professional clubs, and the athletes of these professional clubs are also student players after graduation.

In China, there is no precedent for a student player to be selected as a national player.

Therefore, when representing the Sports Bureau in the youth competition, it is the first battlefield for these players, and the winning team will also get huge benefits.

This has also led to the urgent desire of every sports bureau to get a ranking in the youth competition, and modifying the age of the players has become the most effective shortcut.

At the level of the national team, changing age is also an unspoken unspoken rule. Whether it is Chinese football or basketball, the results of U15 games are generally better than those of U17 games, and the results of U17 games are better than those of U19 games.

The advantage of age will become smaller and smaller with the passage of time. When it comes to the adult team's game, the previous advantages will disappear!

The career trajectories of many well-known Chinese players are very similar. They made their debut as young geniuses, made great strides in youth competitions, and made little progress in adult competitions. When they were 27 or 30 years old, their status began to decline and go downhill. In their early [-]s, they retired and disappeared.

An athlete's peak starts at 28 years old, but Chinese players start to decline at the age of 28. This is really a great irony! ! ! "

When he said this, Sakuragi's face was full of indisputable anger, even though he had been reborn through time travel, this sense of anger still made Sakuragi's blood surge!

Haruko: "What's the matter, Sakuragi, why are you so angry about these things?"

Haruko was a little puzzled by Sakuragi's outrage.

The period before Sakuragi's crossing was the darkest moment in Huaxia basketball.

In the Basketball World Cup held at home, the Huaxia national team was eliminated in the weakest group, which also caused the Huaxia national team to lose the qualification to directly qualify for the Tokyo Olympics.

But if the Huaxia national team can achieve the best results of Asian teams in the next group qualifying match, they will still be able to advance to Tokyo smoothly.

What makes people angry is that when the initiative is in their own hands, the Chinese national team regrets losing to Nigeria, and Iran, which has a higher score in the end, will represent Asia in the Tokyo Olympics.
