After a brief meeting with the players, Deng Huade and Guo Shiqiang invited Zhou Mubai to the conference room.

"The team's tentative list is Yi Jianlian, Wang Shipeng, Su Wei, Zhou Peng, Liu Wei, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Ding Jinhui, Jin Lipeng, Guo Ailun, Zhang Zhaoxu and you. Do you think there is anything you need to add?"

Deng Huade said directly in English.

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "You don't have to ask me about this. When I get here, I am your player. I will implement it completely according to your tactical requirements."

Deng Huade quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is considered a descendant of a famous family, he dared not be arrogant in front of Zhou Mubai. Even in the NBA, no one dared to be arrogant in front of Zhou Mubai. This person is a double MVP, and now his status in the NBA can be comparable to Kobe and James.

After Zhou Mubai was sure to come, he thought carefully about how to get along with this great god. He didn't expect that Zhou Mubai was so approachable.

The national team's locker room is more complex than the club's locker room. Generally, players may have conflicts in the long-term relationship with each other, but they can adjust it if they have time. However, there will be problems in the national team's locker room, and it will not be reflected very clearly, but it will affect combat effectiveness, time is tight and tasks are heavy, and there is no time to solve any problems.

Zhou Mubai is the biggest player in the national team now, or even the biggest player. Even the coaching staff is not as good as him. If Zhou Mubai wants to interfere with the coaching staff, he really dare not refuse.

But now he wants Zhou Mubai to participate in the tactics. He wants to know Zhou Mubai's tactical level, because once Zhou Mubai is on the court, he is the team's coach. With such a person, there will be no problem with his tactical execution.

"Zhou, I want to play a tactic with the core of the organization guards, with fast pace and projection as the main playing style. After all, our inside line does not have much advantage. We must give full play to the advantages of Xiao Kuai Ling. What do you think?"

Deng Huade asked tentatively.

Zhou Mubai pondered for a moment and said, "Your consideration is already very thorough. Yao cannot participate. We do not have an absolute advantage in the inside, so it is indeed necessary to play a fast pace, and the selection of personnel is also very targeted. With Wang Shipeng and Wang Zhizhi on the spot, I think we will have a lot of space. Coach, you should have watched the Knicks' game."

Deng Huade nodded.

"If the Chinese team plays according to the Knicks' style of playing, what do you think?"

Zhou Mubai said.

He looked at Deng Huade quietly. If Deng Huade was unhappy, he would follow Deng Huade's playing style. In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. If Deng Huade agreed, it would be even better. That was his favorite playing style.

Deng Huade said happily: "Actually, I often see the inspiration you get. I am afraid that the staffing configuration will not meet the requirements."

Zhou Mubai smiled: "No problem. If the starting lineup is based on me as the organizational guard, Yi Jianlian as the center, Wang Zhizhi as the power forward, Wang Shipeng as the small forward, and Zhou Peng as the shooting guard, then this lineup can be achieved.

Yi Jianlian and I play the horn tactics, and my three-point opponent dare not let go. Then Yi Jianlian's cutting will attract the defensive attention of many people. Wang Shipeng and Wang Zhizhi on the side will have many three-pointers. Zhou Peng is on the weak side, and his weak side attack ability is OK. In this case, there will be no big problem with the offense."

Deng Huade said happily: "You really think of you with me, and I think so too."

Zhou Mubai smiled and nodded.

Guo Shiqiang said: "Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Mubai quickly waved his hand and said, "Coach Guo, don't call me that, just call me Xiao Zhou, after all, you are a senior."

Guo Shiqiang smiled and said, "Then I'd better call you Mu Bai. Don't call me Coach Guo, just call me Brother Guo."

Zhou Mubai smiled: "Then Guo Ailun is my eldest nephew."

Guo Shiqiang smiled happily: "It is his blessing to have an uncle like you...Mu Bai, I want to ask you, how long can you play while you are in a state? I mean, if the team needs you to be."

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "I can play as long as I play."

Guo Shiqiang said in surprise: "Is the media saying true? You can really play the whole audience when you are in NBA?"

Zhou Mubai nodded and said, "My physical strength is enough to support me."

Deng Huade said happily: "This is great. With Zhou here, there will be no problem with the offense."

After preliminary communication, Zhou Mubai began training for the national team. He carefully observed the players. CBA players have a considerable gap compared with NBA players in terms of physical fitness and skills. This is also impossible. The gap is real, and the situation in other countries is the same. Generally, NBA players in the team will win some individual abilities.

The current Chinese team has at least four NBA players, Zhou Mubai and Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue and Wang Zhizhi are former NBA players. At least they still have much better than others in their abilities.

With these four players, especially Zhou Mubai's joining, the Chinese team's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Not only domestic fans have great expectations, but even foreign fans are full of curiosity about the Chinese team.

However, NBA games are still somewhat different from Fiba League. There are many NBA players who are not accommodating when they come to the Fiba League. Moreover, basketball is a team sport after all. It is actually hard to say how much influence a person has on the game. I have to play.

But there will be a chance soon.

On July 10, the national team went to Lithuania and there were three warm-up matches in Lithuania.

The Lithuanian Men's Basketball Team is a European powerhouse. It has won three European Championships, participated in the Olympic men's basketball competitions four times, and won third place.

Lithuania is a typical strong team, with players full of confidence and coaches.

As a veteran strong team in the world basketball world, Lithuania, a small European country, has always faced the world with a strong image in the world basketball world since it gained independence in 1990.

From 1992 to 2004, the Lithuanian men's basketball team won three bronze medals and a fourth place in the Olympics, and they also won gold in the 2003 European Championship. Although Lithuania does not have international superstars, they are talented players in every position, playing European basketball that emphasizes team cooperation than any team.

For the Chinese team, this is a very strong team, and it is not easy to defeat Lithuania.

In the pre-match prediction, if the Chinese team can win one of the three games, the Chinese team will be successful.

In order to prepare for the Türkiye World Championships, the Lithuanian team played 9 warm-up matches after the selection, achieving a record of 6 wins and 3 losses.

Lithuania first defeated Finland 91:59; then defeated the Czech team 93:84; narrowly defeated Slovenia 86:84; and faced the world champion Spain, Lithuania suffered its first defeat 76:97.

In the following few warm-up matches, Lithuania defeated Turkey, Germany, and Croatia one after another. When she encountered Spain again, Lithuania lost again 75:94. With the reversal of the warm-up match with the United States, Lithuania suffered two consecutive losses in the warm-up match for the first time.
