Chapter 133 Provocation Skill Activated

BJ.

10 month 9 day.

Yu Jia sat opposite him, his expression serious, and asked, "Chen Shuo, the men's basketball team lost all five games at the Olympics. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Chen Shuo's smile vanished.

He was confident he could lead an NBA bottom-feeder to a championship in just one season, but he was helpless against the struggling Chinese basketball team.

Chen Shuo understood how great the obstacles were to accomplish something within the Basketball Association.

Compared to making a name for themselves, more people choose mediocrity. They believe that if they do nothing, they won't make mistakes, and lazy officials are more despicable than corrupt officials.

He recalled Yao Ming's words when he was elected chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association: "The biggest problem seems to be that there is no single biggest problem; there are problems everywhere."

This is also the best answer for the current Chinese men's basketball team.

Yu Jia was very patient and just waited.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Shuo cautiously said, "I only played in the NBA for two years, and my success had an element of luck and opportunity."

"As for the domestic basketball system, I am even more of an outsider. I can only talk about what I have seen regarding the differences between the two systems. These are all just my personal opinions."

Chen Shuo didn't say this entirely because of the armor-piercing technique.

He was practically cheating, and he was only facing one team with unprecedented centralized power, which is not a common situation, so his experience is unreliable.

Yu Jia smiled and broke the serious atmosphere: "It's just a discussion."

Chen Shuo then spoke up, saying, "There are many children in China who love basketball, and there is no shortage of talented young players."

"It's just that there isn't a complete training system in China right now; I mean, a path that everyone can access."

"Yao Ming came from a sports school and his family had a strong sports atmosphere; Da Zhou came from the military, and the Bayi team has trained many national team players."

"They forged the most glorious generation in Chinese basketball."

"But in the United States, almost every child has the opportunity to access these things. Sports are a path in life for them, a path where they can see a definite future."

"Therefore, we should start from the school, and establish a complete education system from primary school to middle school to university."

'

""

Chen Shuo talked at length, sharing his understanding of everything from the talent development system to the professionalism and commercialization of the CBA.

He knows a lot of things, and it would be pointless to talk about them now, but it's always a good thing if he can pave the way for Yao Ming's later efforts.

Yao Ming later became the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, and his "Mini Basketball" program, which he strongly advocated for, will be a significant achievement many years later.

In Chen Shuo's view, bringing sports into schools has a significance that goes beyond basketball itself.

The role of sports in shaping the character of teenagers has long been a missing part of domestic education. It goes far beyond winning or losing itself. It can help children develop unity, confidence, and courage, and forge a more resilient core at an important stage of life.

Yu Jia appropriately stopped Chen Shuo's topic and instead asked, "From a tactical perspective, what suggestions do you have?"

Chen Shuo understood immediately.

"For many years, we have focused on giants as our core players. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian are all outstanding players, which has been the mainstream approach in the NBA and FIBA ​​in the past."

"But currently, the NBA is working hard to promote small ball, and the core of the system is quietly shifting from the inside to the outside. Shooting and passing abilities will be more important in the future."

"Interior players need to shoot to create space, and role players need to respond to open shots with stronger shooting. This will be the future trend of the NBA."

In fact, future trends in basketball will further reduce the requirements for physical fitness, and instead place higher demands on technique.

This should have been a good thing for the Chinese men's basketball team, whose physical attributes are not particularly outstanding.

The men's basketball team in the mid-80s was known for its quick, agile, and accurate shooting. However, in the 21st century, it has become overly reliant on the inside game, while neighboring Japan has emerged with this approach.

It wasn't until a year or two before Chen Shuo's time travel that the men's basketball team began to value ball-handling and shooting ability, which was indeed somewhat due to path dependence and stagnation.

At the end of the interview, Yu Jia mentioned the All-Star Game to be held tomorrow again: "Last year, the NBA was suspended and no preseason games were held."

"In the 2010 Nets vs. Rockets game, Yi Jianlian was traded and missed the Chinese derby. Yao Ming's outstanding performance after his comeback became the focus of fans' attention."

"What do you think is the most interesting aspect of this China tournament?"

Chen Shuo looked at the camera: "The Los Angeles Lakers have six All-Stars: Kobe, Howard, Nash, Gasol, Artest, and Jamison."

"The Cavaliers also have three All-Stars: Paul, Garnett, and Chandler."

"This was a star-studded match, and more importantly, it was considered a preview of the new season's finals."

"I can assure the fans that this will be a real, hard-fought game."

Yu Jia's face showed surprise; Chinese competitions are usually exhibition-style.

When Chen Shuo said this, it became quite credible.

Even domestically, Yu Jia understood Chen Shuo's influence within the team; he was a true power holder.

"The fans who came this time are in luck."

"I have a strong feeling that this will be the most exciting China tournament ever."

Chen Shuo was confident.

As a Chinese football fan, he understands all too well the significance of the China Games.

The NBA China Games were conducted entirely according to the standards of a regular season game, with oak flooring flown in from the United States, cheerleaders and mascots accompanying the team, and the entrance ceremony and game process all conducted at the most authentic NBA level.

The goal is to allow many fans to experience a real NBA game.

For many fans, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Chen Shuo will certainly not disappoint Chinese fans.

With such a stellar cast, it's bound to be a great show.

Chen Shuo had already made it clear in the United States that the players must give it their all.

It's obvious they're trying to abuse their power for private gain.

Garnett immediately responded to Chen Shuo: "I've been itching for this for ages."

"I'll show those guys in Los Angeles what a championship-caliber team really is."

Garnett took the lead in making a statement, setting the tone for the game.

Especially the players in the training camp, they were yelling and dancing wildly.

After training all summer, it would be a waste of time if I didn't vent my frustrations and show off.

The Los Angeles Lakers, a championship favorite widely favored by the media, are naturally a worthy opponent to challenge.

As for the Lakers' attitude...

It might be difficult for other teams.

But who can blame them when the Los Angeles Lakers' star player is Kobe Bryant?

This person likes to take things seriously.

So Chen Shuo chose to give a high-profile interview before the game: "We are the champion team. We were the champions in the past season, and we will still be the champions in the new season."

"We will win this game no matter who our opponent is."

When asked by a reporter whether the Lakers would be an obstacle to their title defense, Chen Shuo was blunt: "They should be realistic. For them, the most important thing is how to win a preseason game."

These words quickly reached Kobe's ears.
