The older superstars of the NBA

After winning the semi-finals, the Huaxia men's basketball team successfully entered the finals.

The team that entered the final with them is the Australian men's basketball team from the Oceania division.

The Australian men's basketball team had passed all the way in the previous group stage. They easily entered the quarter-finals with a record of victory. Even in the semi-finals when they encountered the stronger Iranian team, they still did not expend too much effort.

Therefore, although the Huaxia men's basketball team that won all the games entered the final, the outside world's perception of the two teams has not changed much.

"It is impossible for the Chinese men's basketball team to beat the Australian men's basketball team..."

"Only Zhao Feiyang is an NBA player in the Huaxia men's basketball team, and the others are not. Originally, there was Yi Jianlian who could maintain the inside advantage, but now Yi Jianlian is gone... On the other hand, the Australian men's basketball team has 6 players on the other side. They're all NBA players, and some of them are either playing in their home leagues or playing in Europe..."

"Everyone doesn't know the level of the CBA? If you compete with the European League and the Australian League, regardless of technology, there must be a gap in physical confrontation... How can the Huaxia Men's Basketball team win the opponent?"

The outside world is not optimistic about it.

First, foreign fans thought it was difficult for the Huaxia men's basketball team to win, and then domestic fans expressed concern about this game.

Therefore, before the game started, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team seemed to have lost!

off day.

The head coach Xu Lei gathered everyone together, and after the training was over, he specially took the players outside for a dinner.

When everyone saw all kinds of delicacies served in the box, the players were somewhat surprised.

"what's the situation?"

"Is this the celebration banquet?"

When the players looked confused, the head coach Xu Lei also stood up and explained.

"This is not a celebration banquet. However, the team's performance in reaching the final this time is really good. Anyway, we have already won the finalists. Overall, our performance this time is still good..."

"This meal is meant by the Basketball Association. The main reason is that everyone has been working too hard recently, so I specially improved the food for you......"

The players looked at each other, then excited.

Obviously, no one expected this to be the case.

Some people couldn't help asking, "What about the game? Isn't it still going to be played against the Australian men's basketball team? Is it possible not to play?"

Just after asking, someone else answered.

"Still thinking about playing against the Australian men's basketball team? Frankly speaking, can we play well? Their starting lineup is all at the NBA level. Our strength is really not enough..."

"That's right, the Iranian team is strong enough! The score difference between them and ours will definitely not be too big, because the strength of both sides is similar... But how do they play against the Australian men's basketball team? The point difference is pulled Opened as much as 20 minutes..."

"If the Australian men's basketball team didn't want to play in the end, I'm afraid the point difference would be more than 20..."

The teammates chattered.

Obviously, the impression that the Australian men's basketball team is very strong has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is no wonder that they have a very good record.

Basketball is not football. Generally speaking, it is difficult to have that kind of upset.

Even the NBA's "Black Eight Miracles" are extremely rare. In most cases, a low-ranked team cannot win against a high-ranked team.

Hard power has too much influence on basketball.

The head coach Xu Lei didn't stop the discussion among the players. Instead, he chatted with everyone while eating, "I am very happy to be able to cooperate with you this time. It is very important for an old man like me to have so many young people together. It's a lot of fun for guys..."

"We have played all the games we should have played, and the remaining games seem to be difficult to win. If this is the case, there is no need to compete..."

"I would never say this in other places, but in front of you, I will say this...I don't want you to do useless work, waste your career and risk injury. To win a game...that's not a good idea...."

Although the words of the head coach Xu Lei are somewhat "not quite correct", they are actually quite authentic.

After he said these words, many players couldn't help applauding, especially the players in the domestic league.Some people are very clear about where the peak of their abilities is, so naturally they don't like this kind of invincible opponent.

"Well said coach! Cheers...."

"That's right, take one..."

"Let's talk about these things behind closed doors. I don't remember anything when I go out..."

Everyone soon became happy.

After Zhao Feiyang drank with everyone for a while, he sat in front of the window and drank dull wine by himself.

He will not hinder the choice of his teammates, after all, this is their self-confidence.Everyone has their own position and decision, and you can't let everyone listen to you just because he is an NBA star.

Respect is sometimes a way to maintain the relationship between teammates.

However, Zhao Feiyang will inevitably feel a little regretful in his heart.

"If it was the Chinese men's basketball team in 08, then the Australian men's basketball team is definitely not our opponent this time..."

Zhao Feiyang sighed with emotion, and his thoughts returned to the situation at that time.

The performance of the men's basketball team in the Olympic Games can be said to be the best in the past 20 years, not one of them.

At that time, the Huaxia men's basketball team had a top center like Yao Ming, and NBA rookies like Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue. Both of them were at their peak at that time, and their abilities were at their strongest.

In addition, there are Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, Zhu Fangyu and Chen Jianghua, the most outstanding local players in China. Their presence has also added a lot to the Huaxia men's basketball team in some aspects.

At least, compared with the Huaxia men's basketball team after Yao Ming retired, the Huaxia men's basketball team at that time can be said to have a very strong lineup.

If you add yourself to that lineup, beating an Australian team is not a problem at all.

It's a pity that time has passed, and by the time Zhao Feiyang became famous, the Huaxia men's basketball team had completely fallen into the bottom.Not only is one session not as good as the previous one, but the performance of pulling hips to even stretching hips, and leading figures are also missing.

This is really frustrating.

After this banquet, within two days, the final of the Asian Cup qualifiers finally arrived.

The two sides appeared in the largest arena in Beirut. The morale of the Australian men's basketball team was high, and it seemed that they were determined to win this game.

The Huaxia men's basketball team is also different. They have no fear or worry, and everything seems to be indifferent.The role players looked very happy, the main players were not under any pressure, and even the assistant coaches were talking and laughing.

Only Zhao Feiyang didn't look very happy.

However, he alone cannot interfere with the entire team, so the indifference of the Huaxia men's basketball team is almost written on his face.
