My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 908 Unintentional Intention

The reason is simple: Sun Yat-sen University is built in the coastal forest, nestled between mountains and the sea, giving it a pastoral and idyllic cultural atmosphere.

“That piece of land was allocated to CUHK by the Hong Kong British government in the 1950s and 1960s. At first, it was used as a banner to resist colonial culture with Chinese studies and Confucianism, breaking the situation that the colonial government only allowed one university. However, with development, especially after this top physicist became the president, it increasingly moved towards scientific research and engineering technology, until it became a world-renowned university.”

Cheng Lang was fully aware of these circumstances and even asked his lord, "What will this situation bring?"

Wei Dong had never paid any attention to CUHK in his past life, and he didn't have a good impression of any of the universities in Hong Kong.

Over the decades, only one family in the tax compound had a child who went to study at a university in Hong Kong.

But now he can think about it: "Large-scale development of the school buildings? Right now it just looks like an ordinary university. To match the situation brought about by Di Kun, we definitely need to build a lot of research institutes and expand on a large scale?"

Cheng Lang nodded: "Many new companies will emerge, so CUHK is the university in Hong Kong that has expanded the most in the later period, forming a whole large technology innovation city."

Wei Dong suddenly realized: "It wasn't built in a scenic spot, but on the riverbank?"

I felt this way when I attended the board meeting last time. The refined atmosphere of various colleges might not be so easy for them to accept a bunch of science and engineering buildings crammed together.

Even the natural geography research center that was lent to the TV station was actually relegated to a more crowded area near the school gate.

It's not far from the railway line.

Without the elegant charm of those academies scattered across the hillside, this science and technology innovation city could only exist in the riverside area.

Because the railway line is located along the edge of the coastline, a large area of ​​land had to be reclaimed from the sea.

That would make Wei Dong a recipient of demolition compensation.

Cheng Lang nodded and smiled: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Wei Dong burst into laughter: "Then we should take advantage of the situation and build more..."

After watching the game and seeing off the dignitaries at the entrance, I chatted with Cheng Lang for a few minutes, entrusted him with my affairs in Hong Kong for the past few days, and then took the two girls and Shi Tou back to Pengzhen.

The Governor of Hong Kong instructed him to lead this Olympic team well.

In the second half, Camp, Ma Jian, Zhang Jinsong, Fan Bin, and Adi Jiang, as the main players, along with the original team members, played against Black and White Boy.

Showcase the training results of various Southeast Asian tours.

Chow Yun-fat personally served as the coach, clapping and giving instructions from the sidelines, waving his arms and shouting, making it feel like an immersive and exciting show.

But the scene where Zheng Zhiwei, with his head tilted back like a little potato, gestured and arranged things to a group of black and white people was even funnier.

However, experts could gradually see that although Zhang Jinsong and Fan Bin were outrageously young, they had extremely rich game experience. One tall and one short, they were shooting three-pointers like crazy. Although their accuracy still needed improvement, they clearly had a cooperative strategy with Kemp.

Their defense focused on Kemp in the paint, so they would fire from the outside. Once the defense rushed towards them, they would quickly pass the ball to the inside for a dunk.

Adijiang was in charge of coordinating command, while Ma Jian helped Kamp by taking turns and providing cover.

They did everything in a very professional and methodical way.

Wei Dong couldn't help but squint and observe the 198-year-old boy, especially the fifteen-year-old.

He must have had technical assistance; this shouldn't be considered some kind of secret.

In this era, the world basketball scene was still dominated by tall players. Guards and point guards like Fan Bin and Adi Jiang, who were around 1.8 meters tall, were considered short and were a minority. They also had to have special skills such as shooting three-pointers and passing to gain a foothold.

But nearly thirty years later, the NBA's famous "Death Lineup" emerged, leveraging its high mobility to quickly execute coordinated defense, pick-and-rolls, double teams, and transition offense.

It has swept the basketball world and dominated the entire basketball scene. Many countries and teams cannot find enough tall players with high-level skills, so they are trying to imitate it.

This was definitely a tactical blow to the international basketball scene in the 1980s.

Even the NBA, thirty years later, was stunned by this unique style.

The key point, however, lies with fifteen-year-old Zhang Jinsong.

After the start of the second half, Wei Dong stopped talking business with the staff of the Sailing Association and leaned down to discuss the details with Lu Bin in front of him.

Perhaps the NBA in the next 30 or 40 years was also forced to resort to any means necessary.

A variety of styles.

Furthermore, short videos, online collections, and content creators' explanations convey a rich and diverse range of information.

Even an old security guard with a missing hand can sit in the parking lot security room all night watching breakdown videos.

Even if he didn't understand it, it at least sounded like a bombshell to Lu Bin.

"Komatsu is nearly two meters tall, yet he plays excellent, tenacious defense and has a great three-point shot. In NBA terms, that's called a 3D player, which means three-point shooting plus defense. I've said before that the triangle shot really needs a lot of practice..."

Lu Bin didn't dare to tease his boss about his poor triangle shooting technique, only nodding in agreement. The American coaching staff also acknowledged that this single-shot shooting form, popularized by the later "Death Lineup," had indeed improved their three-point shooting percentage during this Southeast Asian tour.

Wei Dong then suggested further reforms: "When I went to the military team, I saw that Xiao Song was assigned to play small forward. Did you ever think that he was deliberately pulled out to play as a support player, or even deliberately pulled out Kemp, so that the opponent's center would have a hard time?"

This is the essence of the "small ball" strategy. On the surface, it appears that the five players are generally not very tall, with even the center only around two meters tall, yet they can execute a very flexible run-and-gun tactic.

The core issue is actually creating various forms of discomfort.

It's one thing for a few short guys to shoot threes from the perimeter, but the tallest one doesn't even reach the basket to match up against a tall and clumsy center. Instead of battling for the basket, they rely on their height to pass and screen from the three-point line, moving around like a crane.

The opposing team's shorter perimeter player was bullied by the bigger player.

It's somewhat like the story of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy.

Moreover, this forces the opposing center to come out and lose his position, and when others cut in, he can't keep up. If he doesn't come out, he's just a decoration squatting under the basket.

With fewer players on the perimeter, it's easy for them to find open spaces to comfortably shoot three-pointers.

Lu Bin found it utterly unbelievable.

Modern basketball teams tend to prioritize building tall players, believing that height solves everything.

But this strange style of play, which relies on three-point shooting percentage, doesn't seem like it's entirely unacceptable.

The Japanese national team, which generally lacks tall players, loves to pull these kinds of tricks.

But when Wei Dong talked about it, it wasn't just about shooting three-pointers from the outside, but a whole set of tactics involving pulling and controlling the opponent's movements inside and outside.

Even just a rough outline can give you a sudden sense of enlightenment and allow you to see a new world.

After all, with Kemp as an ace, this style of play can maximize the chances of him not being double-teamed and worn down.

Kemp, on the contrary, became a battering ram and an icebreaker, only used to break through when the game was deadlocked, and occasionally he could be used as a converter.

In short, the gameplay suddenly became much more diverse and varied.

The young coach took notes attentively, saying he would discuss things more with the foreign coaching staff during training.

Wei Dong then asked him to take good care of Fa Ge and act as the mascot of the coaching team.

Lu Bin, who had just retired from the army, didn't quite understand this capitalist basketball show, but he was very obedient and said that he had taken many photos with Chow Yun-fat, which he would take back to show off during the Spring Festival.

Wei Dong was the last to introduce the couple to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao. They were told to wander around and look at whatever they wanted, with a driver/bodyguard to ensure their safety. They were told that eating, drinking, and having fun were no problem, but it was best not to buy anything, as customs checks were quite strict. If they needed any high-end appliances or other goods, the company would arrange for someone to bring them in.

Old Xiao could tell too: "You're very unassuming, thank you for the arrangements."

Wei Dong frankly said: "I don't necessarily want you to cooperate with me. I just want you to be trained by the organization. It will be very troublesome if you want to improve abroad later. We are exploring a new path. I estimate that Zhang Jinsong, who is fifteen years old, will become the leader of the next generation of domestic players, but he probably won't be able to return to the national team. Let's see if Xiao Ming has this opportunity."

The Xiao family of three eventually rode back to their seaside mansion in that Dan car.

The players, who were packing their things to go home and wouldn't be flying back to their hometowns until tomorrow, along with Cheng Lang and his group of Taoist priests, were all in just a few Dodge vans.

I wonder if this will affect the family's mindset.

On the drive back to Pengzhen, Qin Yuye mentioned that Zou Huimin's mentality had been significantly impacted.

Shen Cuiyue chuckled wickedly, saying that she had also noticed it and would report it to the master later so she could tease him.

Ask Wei Dongxian to accompany them and take Di Kun back to his Sha Tin residence.

We could talk about acquiring land on the beach surrounding Sun Yat-sen University to build a windsurfing and water sports training center.

The principal said matter-of-factly, "Let's build it together in the name of Sun Yat-sen University. The university sports teams are also a form of image support. That piece of land belongs to Sun Yat-sen University."

Wei Dongcai revealed the goal: "After repeated comparisons and considerations, we feel that women's windsurfing and men's basketball may be the key to Hong Kong's Olympic medal aspirations. Therefore, we want to build a group of high-end athletes' townhouses around this water sports training center. They are definitely not for sale on the market for profit, but only for fundraising and reward within the Basketball Association, Windsurfing Association and TV station."

Physicists also need to ask what this collective housing construction means.

In fact, thirty or forty years later, after the mainland also began to suffer from housing prices, some people had the wild idea of ​​obtaining the necessary qualifications themselves, finding a group of people to obtain building permits, contacting construction companies, and crowdfunding to build houses.

In reality, it refers to the era of collectively funded housing in the 1980s, when housing reform had just begun and before real estate companies acted as intermediaries.
Wei Dong explained that it had no institutional implications: "It's very simple. When we run a business, we provide housing subsidies to ensure that professionals can buy houses at cost price or even below cost price. The housing payment can be deducted from their salary. This is also a way to ensure team cohesion. For example, you have to serve the company for five or ten years, or athletes have to win a certain level of championship to be eligible to buy a house."

Scientists who can become university presidents are not those whose vision is limited to reading only classical texts.

After a moment's consideration, he nodded: "Let's build it together with Sun Yat-sen University. That way, some of our researchers and professors can also enjoy this housing benefit. Sun Yat-sen University provides the land, and you provide the construction. Finally, the price will be determined based on the actual cost, making it truly impeccable. The Board of Trustees will review it."

Wei Dong had no intention of making money at all, and readily agreed.

Little did they know what consequences the construction of these low-priced seaside villas would have.
