Only one month before the start of the Olympics, there are 15 players left in the men's basketball training team.

In the end, Harris would only take 12 people to Athens.

The public believes that at present, only Yao Ming, Xie Hou and Bart, three people with NBA experience, are exempt from inspection (basically leaving the national team for no return).

In fact, at this moment, Harris knew exactly who to take or not. The extra three people were the team's sparring team. Unless there were non-combat reductions before going to war, there would be no variables on the roster.

The day after Xie Hou came to report to the Harvest Camp, Harris held a team competition.

Teammates of the national team need to know what kind of strength Xie Hou has.

Xie Hou led the black team, and Yao Guo led the white team.

Moreover, Yao Ming's white team has three main players, while Xie Hou only brings a substitute.

No one in the national team can resist Yao Gui's singles. If the White Team wants to stop him, they can only double-team.

After Yao Yun encountered double-team, his pass-through skills were not as good as those of Bart of the White team. Xie Hou started his job in the Pacers, specifically blocking the pass route of Ming Wang.

The pass that pinched Yao Yun was the beginning, and Xie Hou showed an indiscriminate misaligned attack in this game.

With his size, he was already a monster that could be beaten by anyone when he was in the NBA, and in the fiba, it was a more terrifying existence.

Even if the people who meet elites from various countries on the Fiba are far inferior to the starters of the NBA teams.

Only a few teams can use NBA-level starting wings to limit Xie Hou.

You know, it is very difficult to defend Xiehou.

Be tall, strong, fast, and have good physical fitness.

There are so many such guys, not to mention outside of NBA?

The biggest limitation of the fiba rule on Xie Hou is that the center can be stuck at the basket for a long time, and no matter how it plays, it will eventually challenge their defense.

Fortunately, Xie Hou is not a person who relies on breakthroughs. Once he fails to make a breakthrough, he will choose other ways to destroy the opponent's defense.

If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to dominate the European basketball world at the beginning.

No one in the national team can match him.

Liu Wei is the only defender who is above 190 cm.

There are forwards above 2 meters, but they are all different from Li Ran and Zhu Ba who change their wings in the interior.

Their bodies may not be inferior to Xie Hou, but as long as Xie Hou dribbles, there is nothing he can do.

Yao Ming was able to take the center and resist foreign enemies, but Xie Hou did not challenge him head-on. He suddenly went to the paint area and could throw, jump shot and pass the ball.

If Yao Ming can't control his desire to prevent Xie Hou and actively expands his defense, it will be the beginning of the White Team's defensive collapse.

An inside line like Yao Xu is both the offensive core and the defensive core. If he leaves the penalty area, the team's defense will be unprotected.

Xie Hou was completely afraid of his delay in the online launch. He could get rid of the person with a little step and then complete a powerful dunk.

In addition, Bart also had a shot that pulled outside the three-point line with one hand. The white team where Yao Ming was located was first restricted in offense, and then the defense collapsed.

Xie Hou scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in this 15-minute confrontation, leading the team to beat Yao Yun's black team 34-18.

"Xiao Xie, you're playing beautifully!"

Bart was very excited when he beat up the white team where Yao Yun was.

Xie Hou smiled slightly, turned around and greeted Yao Ming, "Your defense is not good, I'm just sweating."

Yao Gui patted Xie Hou's hand.

The coaching staff on the scene looked stiff.

This confrontation allowed them to see how the rest of the Chinese team would perform once there was no Xie Hou and Yao Ming's offense was restricted.

The answer is bleak.

Any team with a low-post killer like Yao Yun will take him as the core. But such a team, in international competitions, is the top of the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately, in China's three major men's basketball events, the men's basketball team is still competing for some reason. (It's incomparable to women's volleyball team and women's football team)

Basketball is just a team that can make the whole country celebrate if you win two games in international games.

Xie Hou's joining has greatly increased the peak of the quarterfinals.

Final Four? That's Harris's goal.

If Xie Hou and Yao Ming had good chemistry, they would be able to hit the medal.

At the end of the match, Xie Hou's teammates looked at him with only awe left.

It's probably this feeling that it's true.

The training time for the national team is three hours in the afternoon, which is half an hour longer than the most famous training maniac Pat Riley in the NBA.

Xie Hou and the team completed three hours of training until 6 p.m.

"There are three days left in the Four Nations Tournament, please prepare well!"

At the end of today's training, Harris gathered the players to speak as usual.

After the team was disbanded, the players rushed to the cafeteria neatly.

Xie Hou, Yao Ming and Bart, who have returned from the United States, are not used to the food in the cafeteria.

In order to make Xie Hou and Yao Ming feel comfortable, the national team specially invited Western chefs to make dinner according to their tastes.

Xie Hou originally wanted to say if there were any roasted lamb legs or something, but when he saw that everyone was eating so "simple", he was embarrassed to make a request.

Chicken breasts, vegetables, regular noodles or rice.

Xie Hou seemed to have returned to Moscow. At that time, in order to gain weight, he maintained this diet for three years.

Looking back on these years, he didn't know how he came through.

Other people’s meals are a time to enjoy, while they are a time torment.

Eat, just to survive.

Most people endure this kind of pain to do something big, but Xie Hou has nothing big, and the only thing that can be considered a big thing is gaining weight.

Through a healthy diet, his weight gain was obvious. It was a pity that his strength training did not keep up, but what was perfect?

Xie Hou first filled his stomach and then walked around the outside of the training hall for a few rounds.

The Harvest Camp covers a considerable area, with an area of ​​about three 400 meters of playgrounds.

I had nothing to do, so I returned to the training hall.

He didn't want to be alone, when a mouse that everyone was resting and slipped into the court and practiced more alone.

He just couldn't find any fun in this closed space, so he took this free time to practice shooting.

He picked up the ball and transported it all the way to the NBA's three-point line distance (visually measured). He didn't know if his scout was accurate, but he was sure that this position would only be longer than the NBA's three-point line.

Then, he started shooting.

After practicing for a year, the NBA three-pointer still has the effect.

The originally unstable fiba three-pointer can now take a calm shot, while the NBA-level three-pointer line also has a shooting percentage of 33% in the regular season. Although it has declined in the playoffs, it has an average shooting percentage of 29% per game in total.

Just looking at the data and combining Xie Hou's era, his three-point score is not bad.

After all, some people can ignore their opponents' humiliation in the small ball era, force the team's big center to shoot three-pointers, and go to the basket to steal chickens - his enthusiasm for three-pointers is beyond ordinary people.

Xie Hou was sensitive to the game. He knew that if he could have a stable three-point shooting technique, his influence on the game would be much more than now.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Swish!"

"Bang!"

Damn it, it's still the same.

When I first started, it was always not going well.

After a while, Xie Hou started to move smoothly, and he didn't get more money than he did, but that's it.

The noise he made attracted his teammates. At first, some people thought he had a bad touch, but then they found that his shooting distance was much larger than the distance they were familiar with.

Yao Ming pointed out that it was the NBA's three-point distance.

"Superstars are superstars, you all learn a little!"

Li Ran from Bayi's first little Li Feidao was half-joking.

Xie Hou was not influenced by others and continued to take action. Finally, he scored 10 goals in a row, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Thank you, what should we do if you are so serious?" Zhu Ba jokingly said.

Xie Hou asked with the ball in his arms: "Do you have any suggestions? My three-pointers have been unstable."

"Your three-pointer is still unstable?" Li Ran looked surprised.

After Xie Hou arrived at the team, the most surprising thing was the three-pointer.
