The older superstars of the NBA

The public opinion from the outside world fermented for a while, and many mocked Zhao Feiyang, but more fans in the Bay Area spoke on his side.

Especially for the Golden State Warriors, after discovering that there were bad signs in this matter, the team's head coach Steve Kerr took the initiative to stand up.

"We are all grateful for the wins that Zhao brought to the team...He is a great guy, even if he ends up with us, it's just another career path...In short, We all know that it would be easier for us to hit the championship with him..."

Stephen Curry also followed the comments on his social media.

"Oh! I just said why my hand felt so hot during that time, it turned out that Zhao lent me his state...It's a pity that I can't play with this guy, but I know he is mine Brother, will be happy with my victory...."

So did Klay Thompson, who joined Andre Iguodala in speaking out.

"Zhao is my favorite opponent. He is a very powerful guy. Even if we win, he will applaud his opponent. How many people can do this?"

"I like playing with Zhao! Now that he has found his own path, I am looking forward to playing against him next time..."

Zhao Feiyang's good popularity played a huge role.

Originally, some extreme Warriors fans were still spraying, but these Warriors players stood up and expressed their views. They really have no reason or position to continue spraying.

Of course, there are also some fans in other cities who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

For example, some Cleveland fans left messages in the comment area below the news.

"You guys...didn't you just see that Zhao signed with the Timberwolves? If you were so arrogant earlier, he might have joined us..."

"That's right, if Zhao joins us, the balance of strength between the two teams will definitely change dramatically..."

"Zhao is a man...he dared to take a harder path, and I even think he is braver than LeBron at this point...but, of course, I still prefer LeBron , who made me a Cleveland? I prefer LeBron to help this city bring a championship trophy. …”

Just when there were endless disputes due to various news abroad, in China, the men's basketball team of the national team had completed the first stage of training and began to enter the second stage of actual combat.

Considering that the opponents this time are all Asian teams, except for Australia and New Zealand, which are more threatening, the other teams, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, have played against each other before, and they have won most of the time.

Therefore, when the national team's men's basketball team chose their opponents for the warm-up match, they specially found some European teams to fight against.Of course, these European teams are not the main force of each team, but the second and third tier players put together improvised. Even so, the strength of the opponent should not be underestimated.

game day.

The warm-up match between China Men's Basketball Team and Lithuania Team.

Before the start of the game, Xin Guotao, the leader of the Basketball Association, went to the locker room to inspect in person.As soon as he opened the door and went in, he saw the team's new coach Xu Lei telling the players.

"We can't lose today's game. The Lithuanian team is not weak, but this time they are not the main force, they are all drawn from their domestic league, and there are even some amateur players..."

"If we lose even against such an opponent, let's not say that we belong to the national team when we go out in the future. I really can't afford to lose this person..."

Xu Lei is an old man of the national team and the head coach of the cba team.

During the three years of coaching in the cba, the team's record has always been at a moderate level, and occasionally there will be some above-average performances.

He didn't win the championship, but his connections in the industry are quite extensive. Even Yao Ming, who is about to enter the basketball association, would respectfully call him senior when he came.

His coming to coach the national team is also the result of internal discussions within the national team.

The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with Xin Guotao, and the two have been friends for more than ten years.It's just that Xin Guotao gradually climbed up, while he went to work in various clubs and gradually embarked on the road of coaching.

"well said!"

As soon as Xu Lei's voice fell, Xin Guotao, who was standing at the door, walked forward quickly. He watched the players and gave instructions, "This time the opponent is indeed not strong. It's not that I don't believe in everyone's strength, but that we need to A good start...”

"So you must play hard. What I can guarantee is that you will definitely win this game..."

"The fans need confidence, and the Basketball Association also needs you to play well..."

After the lecture, Xin Guotao and Xu Lei walked outside the locker room.

When the two were alone, Xin Guotao and Xu Lei had a serious chat, "What's the situation? Why did you bring so many people from your team this time? If you do this, the public opinion outside will have to... …”

Before Xin Guotao finished speaking, Xu Lei interrupted him, "Old Xin, it's not that I want to do this! Don't you know these guys in the national team? Those with a little bit of strength are so proud. If I don't bring more How can your own team restrain them?"

"How can someone play without a hand? Anyway, the young people in our team listen to me...and play Asian teams! What's the problem? Most of them can't beat us, just don't worry. It's..."

Seeing Xu Lei's insistence, Xin Guotao didn't say anything.

Soon, the men's basketball match of the national team began.

Throughout the first half, everything looked normal.

The Lithuanian team is indeed improvised, but their strength is very strong, and their personal level is not weak. Therefore, in most of the first and second quarters, the Huaxia men's basketball team did not gain an advantage, but was defeated by the opponent. Keep pressing.

By the end of the first half, the score was 30-40.

The nearly 10-point gap worried many Huaxia fans watching the game.

After all, this is an international league, and each quarter only lasts 10 minutes, and the total score will not be too much. A gap of 10 points is not too small. If you are not careful, you may be completely pulled away and never catch up.

However, everything changed suddenly with the arrival of the second half.

The Lithuanian team, which was in good shape, not only replaced part of the core, but also specially sent all the substitutes.Even so, the substitutes made all kinds of mistakes, not to mention the players, even the fans felt incredible when they saw them.

"Damn! This dribble can be dropped? Are you kidding me? It's too unreasonable for a professional player to make such a mistake..."

"This doesn't look right! How can this kind of ball be missed? Even an amateur like me can go..."

"How did the point difference catch up so quickly? The Lithuanian team withered so quickly?"

There was an exclamation at the scene.

The fans also found that the game was getting more and more wrong. The performance of the Huaxia men's basketball team did not improve, while Lithuania's performance continued. Relying on this change, the Huaxia men's basketball team unexpectedly caught up.
