Chapter 97 Small Test Angola

With the deepening of communication, Bai Jidong's other abilities gradually emerged.His speed is too outstanding in the training team, no one can match him, his ability to hold the ball is comparable to that of a defender, and the organization of positional warfare makes Gong Luming breathless with excitement.

Even more surprising is his rebounding.In the training team that is far inferior to the NBA, Bai Jidong's rebounding ability allows him to play as a power forward for a short period of time.

Although his shooting is flawed, so many strengths are enough to make people forget his shortcomings.What he brings is exactly what the Chinese team has been lacking, talent.

He is very young, but he is unique in the training team.

"Bai Jidong won a starting spot on the first day of entering the training team. He can only be the small forward of the national team." Winter's autobiography is warming up.

In the team teaching match, Bai Weidong's defense of his teammates was very embarrassing.In terms of matchup, apart from shooting, they have no other aspects that are better than Bai Jidong.

As long as Bai Jidong is willing, he can guard against all outside lines except Hu Weidong.

Tiger King Sun Jun is today's victim: "Xiaobai, it's just a teaching competition, don't be so serious." "I'm really just defending casually." Bai Jidong said.

Just guard against it?Sun Jun had a hard time, and passed the ball to Bart, who was in the midfield.

Bart then to the others.As long as he is facing off against Bai Jidong, that person will be completely out of the game.This is the consensus of the training team, Bai Weidong's defense can make the whole game zero performance.

……

Few people will go to the cafeteria prepared by the team to eat, and the things there are not to the players' appetite.

Wang Zhizhi had to eat a chicken for every meal, Bai Jidong saw how he was devouring it, and couldn't help worrying about his health: "Is it okay if you eat like this?"

"What does it matter?" All domestic players, including Wang Zhizhi, have no concept of a healthy diet.In their view, only when they are full and full can they have the strength to train and compete.

What makes Bai Jidong even more depressed is that Beilun has no quick-frozen chicken breast, no skim milk, and no protein powder and other things he needs.He brought some with him before he came, but now he can only send it from the United States.

"Xiaobai, what are you doing?" Bart asked curiously.

Bai Jidong said: "Eat." "Is this food edible? You still eat like this after you have returned to your country? Go to my place and treat you to a mutton skewer." Bart said boldly.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "No, if I want to eat, I can eat anytime, this is the arrangement from the US side."

"There are so many rules and regulations in the United States?" Bart was surprised.

Bai Jidong hummed: "Yes, there are many rules, but they are not particularly strict. He won't care if you follow or not, it all depends on self-consciousness."

"It seems that you are a good boy, so are you still used to it over there?" Bart was very interested in American affairs.

Bai Jidong told him about life in the United States in detail. When it came to nightclubs, Bart blushed: "One day, I will go to the United States."

"I believe you can go." This is not Bai Jidong's compliment to Bart, after a few days of contact, he has a general understanding of the people in the training team.

In his opinion, three members of the training team have the strength and potential to play in the NBA.

One is Hu Weidong. He can play in the NBA now. He is not strong enough to be a starter, but he is enough to be a scoring rotation.Followed by Wang Zhizhi, he has the potential to enter the NBA.Finally, there is Bart. His post-up attack and support are quite good, and he may challenge the NBA in the future.

In July, the Chinese team, which has been training for half a year, ushered in its first warm-up match.This is Bai Jidong's first game since he joined the team for a month, and his opponent is Angola from Africa, which the Chinese people love to see.

"Good evening, audience friends! I'm Sun Zhengping. Here is the warm-up match between the Chinese National Men's Basketball Team and the Angola team brought to you by CCT5. This game will be commented by me and Zhang Weiping." CCTV gold medal commentator Sun Zhengping Always open.

Bai Jidong is the starting forward, and the rest are center Wang Zhizhi, power forward Liu Yutong, shooting guard Hu Weidong, and point guard Adijiang.

There are all African players in Angola, and everyone's name is so long.

Bai Jidong wanted to say hello to them, but their names were so long that Bai Jidong lost the ability to speak: "Hi, nice to meet you."

"!#!#..." The words spoken were also in a language that Bai Jidong could not understand.

Bai Jidong was terribly disappointed, he liked to communicate, whether he was a teammate or an opponent, he would chat with each other.

Now this opponent can't chat, which makes Bai Jidong impatient, "Dazhi, give me the racket." "I can't guarantee it." Looking at the opponent who is a head shorter than himself, Wang Zhizhi said so.

Bai Jidong murmured, "You can do it! Be confident!"

The referee threw the ball up, Wang Zhizhi jumped vigorously, and slapped the ball into Bai Jidong's hand.

Just as Bai Jidong was about to control the ball, Adi Jiang came over to take it away.Although I really want to control the ball, it is more suitable for the point guard to give the ball.Bai Jidong ran to the side to help Hu Weidong pick and roll.

Adijiang's ball-handling moves are fancy, which is rare in China. He likes to use all kinds of ball-handling moves to please the audience.

Sure enough, as soon as he played flower jobs, the audience applauded loudly.

This is what Gong Luming doesn't want to see, "Pass the ball!" He yelled off the court.

Adijiang quickly gave the ball to Bai Jidong.Bai Jidong's hand had just released the ball, and he threw it with his big hand, successfully throwing the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who was defended around the front.Wang Zhizhi, who was catching the ball at the basket, was unstoppable, and directly grabbed the ball with both hands and dunked the basket.

"Xiaobai played the ball very reasonably. He really deserves to be selected by the NBA. His consciousness is very good. It takes less than a second from the time he takes the ball to the time he releases it. Wang Zhizhi catches the ball very comfortably." Director Zhang said earnestly. Analyze this attack.Before he finished speaking, Bai Weidong intercepted Angola's serve on the spot and made a reverse basket.

"Howling Hill!" Sun Zhengping said reflexively.

Angola's ball handler soon encountered the same embarrassment as Bai Jidong's teammates.Unable to move forward with the ball under Bai Jidong's defense, he could only seek help from his teammates.

This is unbelievable to the audience at the scene. How strong is this defense that can't pass the halftime defense?
"Bai Jidong is showing a defense that has never been seen in the history of Chinese basketball!"

"No, he is the kind of player that has never appeared in Chinese basketball." Zhang Weiping said: "He is a completely American player. I can see the shadow of Pippen of the Bulls from him."

"Yes, Pippen is also a good defensive player." Sun Zhengping echoed.

Just as the commentator was talking, Bai Weidong's high-pressure defense forced the Angolan defender to make a mistake. He grabbed the ball and counterattacked again. Amid the cheers of the audience, Bai Weidong leaped up in the paint area, hitting a round and rolling one-handed windmill The dunk detonated the audience.

Less than 1 minute into the game, the Chinese team beat Angola 7-0 and directly sent Angola to a timeout.

Bai Jidong alone had 4 points and 1 assist, and all the 7 points the Chinese team scored at the beginning were related to him.

Gong Luming did not expect Bai Jidong's defense to be so strong.I thought that Bai Jidong would be a strong support for the team, but looking at it now, it is not only a strong support, but a nuclear weapon!

"Xiaobai, stop it, don't hit too hard." Gong Luming said tactfully.

Bai Jidong understood, "Got it, don't press too hard from now on." "Yes, the visitor is a guest, and it is not easy for the Angola team to come from afar." Gong Luming expressed appreciation for Bai Jidong's high awareness.

Seeing Bai Jidong standing obediently in the backcourt waiting for the defender to come over, all Angola players breathed a sigh of relief.

Their guards took the ball across the half court, organized the offense in style, and finally found a chance to score on the right side, breaking the embarrassment of not scoring.

After playing for a few minutes, what Bai Jidong felt the most was not his own defense, but the gap between the world basketball level and the NBA.

In the NBA, his confrontation is a weakness, but here it has become a strength.

Maybe Angola is too weak.Bai Jidong thought to himself, he stood outside to ambush like in the Bulls.Adijiang was dribbling fancy again. Gong Luming couldn't tolerate this kind of dribbling that was useless except to look good.

Hu Weidong stepped forward to respond, changed direction with the ball and broke through to the high-ranking Liu Yutong.Liu Yutong succeeded in a straight-arm jumper against the defense.

After entering the training team for a month, there are four people in the team that impressed Bai Jidong deeply.

Hu Weidong's comprehensiveness, Wang Zhizhi's talent and plasticity, Bart's back-up and support, Liu Yutong's straight-arm jumper without dead ends inside the three-point line.These are the four people who impressed Bai Jidong the most.

Bai Jidong starts to get bored because Angola won't let his man catch the ball.As if doing so can abolish Bai Jidong's effect.

Bai Jidong decided to waste his energy on other areas, such as rebounding.Waiting for Angola to shoot, once he feels that the ball will not be scored, he will block people to grab rebounds.After a few minutes, he has grabbed 4 defensive rebounds.

Then there's the offensive end.Facing such an opponent, Gong Luming mainly practiced tactics and basically refused to let him hold the ball.He was not allowed to hold the ball, and Bai Jidong had no basket, so he had no choice but to grab the rebound.

So, he caught two or three offensive rebounds and assisted his teammates to score respectively.After one quarter, he scored 4 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds.He led the team in assists and rebounds.

This warm-up match like a teaching match lost its suspense at halftime.

Bai Jidong only played 15 minutes and scored 6 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds.

"We have played many games against the Chinese team before, and the gap is not so big. The reason for all this is the young man who turned out. I want to congratulate the Chinese team, they have got a future superstar." Angolan coach He is full of praise for Bai Weidong.

Gong Luming was as humble as ever: "Today's match was a little bit of luck. We played rather excitedly. The score can't reflect the real gap between the two sides."

"Bai Jidong? Bai Jidong is still adapting to the rules of international basketball, so he played better tonight, but he has integrated very quickly." The reporter asked about Bai Jidong, Gong Luming replied.

When the reporter raised the microphone in front of Bai Jidong and asked him how he felt about tonight's game, he replied: "It feels good. I am happy to be able to help the team. I can do better in some aspects." Well, I am very much looking forward to the next warm-up match."

Bai Jidong used a game to let fans who usually don't have the opportunity to watch him get to know him.
