Chapter 55 Against the Chinese men's basketball team, Yunas' excitement!
In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the NBA Summer League as early as 1985, and the head coach at that time was Qian Chenghai.
In 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the California Summer League for three consecutive years.
There were also highlight moments during this period.
In the summer of 1996, Hu Weidong, known as China's Jordan, taught Kobe a lesson and scored 30 points on his head!
Breakthrough dunks, three-pointers, steals and counterattacks, chasing blocks, Hu Weidong completely confused Kobe!
Why is there such a fierce yellow player?
Although Kobe was only 17 years old at that time, he was not just like anyone else. His performance in the summer league was very brutal, and he even had an amazing performance of 36 points in a single game.
In this game against the Chinese men's basketball team, Kobe also showed his potential as a superstar. On the offensive end, he had all kinds of skills including fadeaway jumpers, breakthrough layups, and finally scored 22 points.
But in the following years, Chinese men's basketball players never appeared in the summer league.
In order to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games at home, the Chinese men's basketball team chose to train in the summer league again in the summer of 2007!
At this time, Da Zhi had just returned to China for a year. The United Arab Emirates was still the No. 6 pick, and Zhu Ba was still holding the honor of being the number one small forward in Asia. However, Da Zhi did not participate with the team due to injury. The core of this team was "
"Zhi Lian Combination".
Dazhi, Ah Lian, Liu Wei, Wang 7, Zhu 8, Dasheng, Li Nan, Director Du...
A memorable lineup!
Just seeing these names made Chen Yan excited.
Before the game, Chen Yan came to the competition venue early to warm up.
When the Chinese men's basketball players entered the court one after another, he took the initiative to go over and say hello to them.
As a junior, this is the courtesy Chen Yan should have.
This is Chen Yan's character, sometimes flamboyant and sometimes humble, and he knows how to measure himself.
Among them, Chen Yan and Arab League talked the most. Arab League was Chen Yan's only acquaintance in the Chinese men's basketball team. They only met at the draft last month.
"How is it? Has your English level improved recently?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm still studying hard. I can basically understand it now, but it's a little difficult to speak." Ah Lian is still a little shy, which can be seen from his micro-expression.
"If you want to survive in the NBA, you must pass the language barrier. As long as you read more and practice more, you will definitely improve quickly. Come on, come on." Chen Yan patted Ah Lian on the shoulder and encouraged him.
These players of the Chinese men's basketball team are pretty good, and the harmony is that they do n’t know if they are familiar with Zhu 8, Du Du will pull themselves to drink every day ......
"Dear viewers, the Chinese men's basketball training roster was decided in early April and finally confirmed in May. At that time, Chen Yan was playing in the NCAA tournament and preparing for the draft."
TV5 commentator Yu Jia also explained why Chen Yan did not appear on the training list.
The fans in front of the TV expressed some regrets, but looking back, it was quite interesting.
Not to mention the fans, even Chen Yan himself found it quite interesting.
As a Chinese player, this may be the only opportunity in my life to play against the Chinese men's basketball team!
"Okay, as the referee blows the whistle, the third game of the Chinese Men's Basketball Summer League begins!"
"The Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Grizzlies and Kings in the first two games. I hope they can sum up the defeat in this game and continue to work hard to show their own style. I also hope that Chen Yan will perform well in this game and play his own style."
s level!"
Under Sun Zhengping's very contemporary commentary, the game officially started!
The Arab League successfully jumped the ball and the Chinese men's basketball team attacked first.
Liu Wei held the ball to the high position, Zhu Ba used the ball-free screen to get out of the gap, and the two formed a tacit understanding of passing and receiving.
"Whoa!"
Zhu Ba raised his hand and hit a three-pointer, piercing the net!
Take the lead for the Chinese men’s basketball team!
Zhu 8 not only punches hard, he also hits harder outside the three-point line!
This kind of using running to catch and shoot is Zhu 8's technical characteristic.
Phoenix Suns offensive possession.
Banks passed the half court without passing the ball. He accelerated and ran over Liu Wei before rushing in!
The summer league is basically about who gets what, and most of the players here are here for a guaranteed contract, so they have a strong desire to perform!
Banks is considered a heavy point guard in the NBA, but Liu Wei cannot withstand his body.
Fighting all the way to the outside of the penalty area, Banks directly stepped up and threw with his right hand before Ah Lian's defense was in place!
"Clang!"
The ball was a little stronger and bounced high after hitting the neck of the basket.
Just when Dazhi and Ah Lian were about to turn around and grab this defensive rebound, a ray of orange light shot out from the gap between them!
"Boom!!"
Chen Yan exploded for a dunk with one hand!
It’s like a divine weapon descending from heaven!
Sun Zhengping: "Oh! What a great ball! Chen Yan's dunk is really extraordinary! He jumped up and dunked the ball in!"
Yu Jia: "..."
Yu Jia was a little speechless. If he didn't jump up and dunk in, could he still dunk in while standing?
It was torture for Jia to partner with Sun to explain, and she often didn't know how to answer his words.
Ah Lian and Dazhi looked at each other, a little confused!
It's not that the two big men didn't get stuck, it's that they didn't realize when Chen Yan rushed in!
Nearly 20,000 fans were in attendance!
The audience did not expect to see such an exciting scene right at the beginning of the game. The tickets are worth buying!
Other summer leagues usually only have a few hundred fans on site, while the Las Vegas Summer League arena can accommodate up to 20,000 fans!
This is why NBA teams like to go to the Las Vegas Summer League. The atmosphere is so important to basketball!
Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and handed it to Wang 7, who then transferred it laterally to Zhu 8.
The Chinese team uses its own tactics in an orderly manner. The men's basketball team is full of veterans, so there won't be any big psychological fluctuations just because Chen Yan often makes up for dunks.
After some conduction, Dazhi handed the ball to Ah Lian who was cutting through the air.
Ah Lian pulled it up and made a two-handed dunk!
In terms of height, wingspan, jumping and jumping speed, Ah Lian is above average in the NBA. If he is asked to run and dunk, almost no player in the Summer League can cover him.
The fans at the scene continued to scream, and both sides started with dunks to stimulate the fans' nerves!
Suns offensive possession.
This time Banks did not choose to force the ball, but handed the ball to Chen Yan after passing half court.
Chen Yan holds the ball in one hand and puts it behind his back.
Although he didn't make any gestures, his teammates on the court consciously pulled away for Chen Yan.
This is what it means to be the No. 2 pick!
Facing Wang Qi's defensive defense, Chen Yan dropped the ball very calmly, and then suddenly there was a change of rhythm.
Double crossover!
In the CBA, Wang Qi's ankles have never been tortured like this!
I stumbled and almost fell to the ground!
Chen Yan easily broke through the defense line and instantly shifted into fifth gear, striding into the penalty area!
He jumped directly against the defensive defense of Dazhi and Arab League!
A gliding lever passed through the gap between Dazhi and Arab League and scored the ball!
"Damn it! It's so elegant! Is this a walk in the air?"
"Hahaha, Wang Qi was just danced samba on the spot by Chen Yan!"
"Do you dare to glide a little longer in the air?"
"As long as Chen Yan is allowed to charge forward, the ball will definitely be unstoppable, even if Da Zhi and Ah Lian come together!"
Domestic fans watching the broadcast were very excited.
Although it was not the first time for most of them to watch Chen Yan play, they would express the same exclamation every time.
"Clang!"
In the Chinese men's basketball team's offensive round, Wang 7 made a counter-attack and missed an open three-pointer.
Wang Qi is a very magical player. He can't score without guarding. The more guarded he is, the higher his hit rate is. He also scores consecutively as soon as his hand is turned on. He is a typical neurotic player.
Turning around, Chen Yan quickly pushed forward after grabbing the rebound! He shot straight to the three-point line with a flash of lightning!
The Chinese men's basketball team retreated in time. The game had just begun and everyone was very physically fit.
Liu Wei is in front, Wang 7 is on the left, and Zhu 8 is behind. The three of them are keeping an eye on Chen Yan!
At this moment, Chen Yan made an unexpected move.
Start directly from outside the three-point line!
With one step in the air, Chen Yan picked the ball out from his fingertips!
Free throw line pick-up?
What is this operation?
Just when the Chinese male basketball players were confused on the court, a loud voice sounded.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the backboard hard.
Then a louder voice echoed throughout the audience!
"Boom!!!"
When the Chinese men's basketball players reacted, Chen Yan was already hanging above the basket!
Throw yourself and buckle!
Blow up the whole place!
At this time, the camera gave a close-up of Yunus, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team!
Although he is trying hard to restrain himself, it is not difficult to see through the subtle changes in his expression that Yunus is very excited inside!
This is probably the first time he has been excited by his opponent's wonderful performance!
Watching Chen Yan play in person was far more shocking than in the video!
Yunus has even begun to dream about Dayao and Chen Yan appearing on the men's basketball court in the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the same time!
