Chapter 354 The first center of the universe, He Shengzhen
Fortunately for Yi Dun, he was not the shortest one on this big list, otherwise, he, the power forward, would be a bit embarrassed.
After arriving at the men's basketball training base in Beijing, Yi Dun met his men's basketball national teammate.
Everyone was actually quite curious about Yi Dun. Although they had fought in the CBA field before, there was no communication on the field.
Now, they have plenty of time to communicate with Yi Dun.
"Yidun, welcome to join the team." National team captain Wang Zhizhi and everyone said to Yidun with a smile.
"Brother Zhi, please take care of everyone during the next period."
"Where do you need us to take care of us, and we still want to let you take care of us." Liu Wei, a veteran point guard, laughed.
Liu Wei claimed to be the best man in China who passes the ball to Yao Ming. He has a very good personality and greets Yi Dun warmly.
He can be said to be China's number one point guard at the moment. Even if he can't be called the first, he will definitely be the top three.
However, Liu Wei's strength is not that dazzling. The domestic point guards are generally not strong. To put it bluntly, Liu Wei may be considered a big guy pulled out of the short guy.
The reason why domestic point guards are not strong is actually caused by the CBA environment. All the ball rights are in the hands of foreign players. The number of domestic point guards is small, and secondly, they cannot get exercise.
I can't even touch the ball during the game, so how can I hone my point guard skills?
Even if one or two talented point guards emerge, they must have broken through and scored by themselves as soon as they get the ball. After all, there are few opportunities to touch the ball. If you want good data, you can only score points by yourself.
As a result, point guard Miaozi could only become a point guard wearing a point guard cloak.
Liu Wei is a relatively traditional point guard, which is quite rare among domestic point guards. With his outstanding passing ability and rich experience in major competitions, he will definitely be able to securely win the position of the national team's main control.
"Yes, Yi Dun, we have to grab the rebounds for this Asian Games."
"To be honest, I've been playing in the United States for a few years and I haven't encountered a player with a rebounding ability as strong as you."
"By the way, my name is Zhang Zhaoxu. Yi Dun, you may not know me very well." Zhang Zhaoxu, who has experience in NCAA, said with a silly smile.
He just returned from the United States. In the 2009-10 season, he was not reused with the Golden Bears. He averaged about ten minutes of playing time and could score about 3 points and 2.5 rebounds.
Whether it is scoring or rebounding, it doesn't seem to be strong.
However, the blocking ability is quite amazing. With such a small amount of playing time, he can contribute 1.4 blocking data per game.
The reason why he has strong blocking ability is actually inseparable from Zhang Zhaoxu's amazing height.
Currently, 23-year-old Zhang Zhaoxu is 221 cm tall and is called Xiao Yaoming by domestic fans.
With NCAA experience and a very good figure, domestic fans have great expectations for such a young player, and they all expect him to succeed Yao Ming in the future and become the new pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team.
This Asian Games is the first time that Zhang Zhaoxu has entered the national team, but it is not the first time he represents the Chinese team.
In 2009, Zhang Zhaoxu once represented the Chinese team in the World University Forum, and his performance was extremely exaggerated.
In the first game, he scored 15 points, 16 rebounds and 8 blocks in a quasi-triple double-digit data. Later, he got two serious triple-double blocks, which shows that Yao Ming's ability to guard the basket is quite outstanding.
Yi Dun did not participate in this World Fortune. After all, Yi Dun had already won two gold medals at the Olympics at that time. It was unreasonable to participate in the World Fortune with his strength.
If Yi Dun had also participated in the 2009 World Fortune, he would probably have known Zhang Zhaoxu a long time ago.
In this Asian Games, in addition to looking forward to Yi Dun's performance, domestic fans are most looking forward to Zhang Zhaoxu's performance.
Wang Zhizhi and others are naturally the leaders of the Chinese men's basketball team, but they are not young after all. When they can't play, there should always be young people standing up and carrying the banner of the men's basketball team.
Zhang Zhaoxu is one of the most favored young players.
"Hello, fellow villager." Yi Dun also greeted Zhang Zhaoxu enthusiastically.
"Although our team does not have Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian this time, Yi Dun and Xiao Zhang are here, I guess winning the championship will not be a big problem."
"But we still have to pay attention to it. We can't lose this acre of three-point land in Asia. If we fail to win the Asian Games, we will lose our lord." Captain Wang Zhizhi said with a serious expression.
The Chinese men's basketball team is naturally the strength of the Asian overlord and the real overlord. Since China participated in the 8th Bangkok Men's Basketball Asian Championship in 1975, it has participated in a total of 18 men's basketball Asian Championships and won the championship of the 14th Asian Championships...
Two of them were five consecutive championships and four consecutive championships!
This is an undisputed super overlord who has absolute dominance in Asia.
But in recent years, the situation has been a bit worrying.
In 2007, the Chinese men's basketball team created the worst result in the Asian Championships, only ranked tenth.
However, this time the situation is special. When the first team of men's basketball team prepared for the World Championships, the second team of men's basketball team was the second team of men's basketball team.
In the Asian Championships in 2009, the Chinese men's basketball team went to the first team this time, but they lost to Iran in the final and only won one silver medal.
Although we are not playing in the Asian Championships or the Asian Games, the situation is actually similar, and the contestants are generally the same group of people.
"Don't worry, Dazhi, let's not say 99% of our championship this time, at least there must be more than 95% chances." Zhu Fangyu said softly.
Wang Zhizhi shook his head, "The situation is not as optimistic as you think."
"The development of Asian basketball is quite good now. In addition to the traditional China, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, the strength of Middle Eastern countries is also progressing rapidly. The strength of Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and other countries cannot be underestimated."
"But I feel that the most threatening to our Asian Games is the Korean team."
I heard that the biggest threat was the Koreans, and some people laughed, "Brother Zhi, you said that the Korean team poses the greatest threat to us. The reason is that the big hippo, Hasheng Town, is it?"
"This stupid guy, the Korean said at the time that he could challenge Yao Ming's first center position in Asia, but we won't mention the result."
"Stop talking about Yao Ming, I think our Tang Dynasty can easily obey him."
"And we still have Yi Dun this time, so the Korean team will never come back."
Yi Dun couldn't help laughing when he heard everyone's words.
Now Yi Dun has also entered the basketball circle and has some knowledge of some interesting things about the basketball circle.
If you want to talk about interesting things in the Asian basketball circle, you will definitely not be able to avoid this Hesheng Town at the moment.
Hesheng Town has NBA experience. In 2004, he was a Portland Trail Blazers in the second round of the draft. The ranking was probably similar to Sun Yue's pick when he entered the NBA.
Although it is a second round pick, there are still some players who can rise in the second round pick, but Hesheng Town is definitely not the one who rises.
During his time at the Trail Blazers, he was completely a soy sauce character and caused trouble.
During the team training, he had an argument with another young center. The two wrestled. The teammates couldn't easily pull the two away. Hesheng Town shouted "I want to sue you" and then turned around and left.
After a while, Hesheng Town came back with a wooden stick and chased the young center to fight...
In this case, not to mention that Hesheng Town is a bit weak, even if its strength is OK, I am afraid it will not be reused by the Trail Blazers.
However, this matter cannot be said to be Hesheng Town’s fault, because it was the opponent’s swearing first, and Hesheng Town just fought back.
Judging from personality, Hesheng Town should be the kind of tough player.
Although I don’t like Koreans very much, in Yi Dun’s opinion, there is nothing wrong with Hasheng Town. If I were myself, I would definitely have to beat someone up.
What really makes people feel uncomfortable about Hesheng Town is that he does not have a clear understanding of his own strength.
Maybe it was because the Korean media praised him too highly. After all, he was the first Korean to enter the NBA, so the Korean media has been comparing him with Yao Ming.
Over time, this guy became more and more arrogant, and he really felt that he was Yao Ming.
In recent years, Hesheng Town has been ridiculed by Chinese fans and has been nicknamed the number one center in the universe. Even the Chinese national team members sometimes argue with Hesheng Town during interviews.
Before the Asian Games started, South Korean media reported that Hesheng Town was preparing to deal with Wang Zhizhi well for this Asian Games.
Of course, the national team players definitely don’t take this seriously. They have fought with Hesheng Town and don’t know much about this player.
Sometimes, this guy can indeed come in handy on the field with his hippo-like tonnage and height, which is why Wang Zhizhi said he should be careful of Hesheng Town.
But most of the time, this guy can only play a negative role in the Korean team on the court.
The offensive skills are quite single, and the only thing you can do is to use the tonnage at the basket to squeeze out the opponent and then dunk.
Like many Asian centers who are good at hooking, he will not.
There are no baskets, and the free throw shooting percentage is also worrying.
The defensive end is not much better than the offensive end. There are only 1.8 blocks per 48 minutes to make a record. The defensive ability is not exaggerated at all. It is really not as good as Zhang Zhaoxu now.
It's a bit bad if you rebound. You can only score 7.8 defensive rebounds in 48 minutes. I won't mention offensive rebounds.
Chapter completed!
