Chapter 461 Young Eagle Project
"Olympic champion, World Championship champion... From 2004 to 2006, the Chinese team achieved unprecedented results. We still cannot tell the world with certainty that we are the strongest team, but we have the brilliant Champions League and the best players in the world!"
At the end of the competition, the venue of the World Championships final was held in Saitama Stadium.
Xie Hou's 62-point score in a single game set a record of 54-point single-game score against Egypt in the 15th place in the 1990 World Championships.
With his performance in this game, Xie Hou's average data reached 33.3 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
At the end of the group stage, he averaged only 24 points per game. Through amazing performances in the knockout stage and the finals, he played the world's number one.
The lonely Greek team didn't make much noise.
Xie Hou came to Papalucas. Greece asked him to come to guard Xie Hou tonight, but he didn't expect Xie Hou to explode in the game tonight.
"What the hell are you going crazy?" Papalucas didn't understand.
Why did it break out in the game against them?
"You are not very lucky," Xie Hou said, "I made a successful proposal tonight, and I was excited for a moment, so... you know!"
"Damn it, it's a good thing that's successful!" Papalucas still knew Xie Hou.
He knew that if Xie Hou failed to propose, the Greek team would die even worse.
Hearing the other party swearing in a sensible way, Xie Hou smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, you are fighting very well."
"It's not good enough." Papalucas looked at him, "It's far worse than you."
No matter how good a personal relationship is, Xie Hou could not give up the champion. If Papalucas needed it, he could give him a free hug of love. But it seems that he didn't need it.
At the subsequent award ceremony, there was no need to mention that the Chinese team won the cup. Xie Hou was elected as a MVP in the World Championships, and was also selected into the best team of the tournament with Yao Yong.
Several other players selected for the All-A-Series are Papalucas of Greece and Ginobili of Argentina and Anthony of the United States.
The Chinese team stood on the highest podium as they wished, changing the dilemma of few medals in the world competitions of the men's events in the three major ball games.
In three years, the Chinese team rose like a rocket.
Their success becomes an excuse for criticism of people who are indifferent to basketball or have bad feelings.
Because of the personnel structure of the Chinese team, it doesn’t look like a world-class team at the championship level. If there is Yao Yu, they will just be a team in the quarterfinals.
With an extra time, it suddenly becomes a strong team that can play 55 or 5 against any team in the world.
The team with the world's strongest players has enough confidence and all intensity to fight life and death.
On the basketball court, individual strength can often surpass the overall strength.
Especially in a match-based game where the winner is determined, it is even more obvious.
The championship battle came to an end, and the Japanese World Championships ended. News of Xie Hou's successful proposal spread rapidly that night.
Blessings from all over the world blew up King Arthur's phone number, and his Sheter account received hundreds of thousands of private messages overnight.
Xie Hou looked at the blessing calmly. After that, he would briefly separate from Xuewei and return to China for a celebration banquet with the national team.
They have won the Olympics at a higher standard than the World Championships, and the World Championships won this World Championships is a set goal for leaders who sit at home and are not doing anything.
What's strange about a team that can win the Olympic champion?
A strange phenomenon happened. Before 2004, the three major men's ball events of the Chinese team were events that made the whole country celebrated after winning one or two wins in the World Championships. Now they won two championships in a row, fans are used to winning the game, and the leaders are not as excited as before. At the celebration dinner, they began to plan a series of blueprints.
Someone wants to ask, if you have won the World Championships, what other blueprints do you need?
For them, the most important thing is the Beijing Olympics two years later.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1945, the Chinese team hosted the Olympic Games for the first time. This is an announcement of the rise of the country and has attracted worldwide attention. If we can win gold at the Olympic Games held locally, it will be a great achievement that will last for generations.
Xie Hou and Yao Xu are now at the golden age of athletes. Two years later, they are only 28 years old, and they are fully capable of hitting the highest podium again.
Xie Hou heard that they had been blowing for a long time and painted cakes.
"How can Olympic champions be that simple?" Xie Hou complained in English.
This is bullying the leader and not learning foreign languages.
Yao Xu said lightly: "Just listen."
Just listen to it, and you will have to express your opinion later.
Xie Hou and Yao Yong had the same answer. They did not promise what achievements they achieved in 2008, but said they would do their best. Even the smartest people in the world could not understand what will happen in the next second. Who would be sure that the Chinese team can still maintain their championship strength in two years?
The celebration party was held until 10 o'clock in the evening. Xie Hou only drank a few sips of wine, focusing on filling his stomach.
Back at the hotel, he called the agent.
It was September 4th, and Xie Hou had just finished his journey to the World Championships, and there were 11 days left before the preseason training camp opened.
Xie Hou thought he needed a rest, so he applied to the team to postpone the registration time to go to the training camp.
The Pacers approved his application for leading the Chinese team to win the World Championships.
The World Championships are extremely intense, and the Pacers are not worried about his condition.
The next day, the national team was officially disbanded.
Everyone went their separate ways and according to the general procedures, it was time for Xie Hou to return to the United States. But this year he stayed for a few more days without doing business.
About half a year ago, when he decided to follow Xie Jun's competitive state throughout the process, he suddenly had the idea of starting a scout network.
After the season, he used assistants to play money, hired 10 scouts, mainly teenagers from the Indiana area to conduct scouting work, and graded based on their strength and career prospects.
Nowadays, the American scout network is very mature. For example, the high school students under 247 and espn have very comprehensive rules and have made clear divisions for young basketball players at all levels in the United States.
All Xie Hou has to do is to pay attention to Xie Jun’s updates at any time.
He graduated from junior high school this summer and will be a first-year student at Rose Mountain High School in a few days.
Rose Mountain High School is a strong high school basketball school in the Indiana area, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Establishing a scout network focuses on focusing on Xie Jun, and secondly, it is what he wants to do in the country.
His assistant launched training camps on domestic campuses in his name. If those students with strong strength and professional prospects pass the assessment, he will fund and sponsor them to study in the United States.
This group of people is also the target of the scout network.
China has a large population. Although the sports school elite model can allow those obviously talented players to receive professional training prematurely, the quality of grassroots coaches is uneven, and there are many force majeure that affects the development of players.
A country with 1.3 billion people only chooses players from dozens of sports schools, which itself will miss many good seedlings.
Xie Hou named his sponsorship program "Bird Eagle".
As the World Championships are in progress, the auditions for the Eagle Project have entered the final stage.
When Xie Hou arrived at the scene, it happened to be the last day in the Eagle selection plan.
There are 30 student players in total, and they are competing for 8 places.
Xie Hou looked from a distance and was tall, thin, short and fat.
Three children left a deeper influence on him.
One of them is very short, with a visual appearance of only 170 cm, with an amazing speed, excellent ball sense and athletic ability to start and dunk the tomahawk in the free throw line.
"There is nothing wrong with being short." Xie Hou said to the people around him.
The general coach in charge of the selection was an amateur coach from the United States. He told Xie Hou: "Yes, he is only 17 years old and has great plasticity."
There is also a child named Wang Chuchu. His name sounds like a woman, but in fact he is a fat man with a rough appearance.
Fat players are generally not the type Xie Hou Zhongyi, but he saw interesting things in this child.
He is a textbook fat player, slow, high bricks and defensive disaster, but the pick-and-roll quality is excellent, the positioning awareness is excellent, able to pass the ball and catch rebounds, and the basic skills of dribbling the ball through the half-court. He is only 16 years old and 203 cm tall.
He reminded Shehou of Boris Dior.
His physical fitness and athletic ability are one dimension worse than Dior, but his taste, style and skills of playing are extremely similar.
The second is the biggest surprise of this audition - 14-year-old Xiao Feng.
It is said that his parents trained him as a professional basketball player since childhood, and since the age of 7, they went to major sports schools across the country for auditions.
Because of his slow development, he was wiped out.
At the age of 14, his height soared by 20 cm.
Currently, he has a height of 181 cm. Although his physical fitness is not obvious, he has solid basic skills and rich skills. He is the most popular young player in the selection group of the first Eagle Program.
"If this kid can continue to grow taller, he will definitely become a very outstanding forward player."
Xie Hou looked at these children and felt more and more that what he did was of great significance.
At the end of the day, the Eagles Program Selection Group announced the list of eight selected young players.
All three young players who impressed Xie Hou were listed.
At this point, the first Eagle program fully sponsored by Xie Hou has been successfully completed. Eight selected young players will make some adjustments in China and then go to the United States together, first learn English in language schools, and then go to different schools according to their needs.
Outside the Eagle Training Camp, Xie Hou was surrounded by reporters.
They asked about Xie Hou’s original intention for this plan.
"I just want to do something meaningful. If these children can succeed, then their significance to later generations is of great significance."
Chapter completed!
