Chapter 414 Expedition to England
According to the plan unanimously adopted by Deng Huade and the basketball team after consultation, the members of the national team will not train in the imperial capital. They will fly to the British Isles in advance in order to adapt to the local environment and climate as soon as possible. By the way, they can also play warm-up matches.

Among the 12 teams shortlisted for the Olympic group stage this year, there are only five European teams, namely Spain, the United Kingdom, and Russia in the same group as China, and France and Lithuania in the other group.In recent years, European basketball has made rapid progress, and more and more young talents are showing their talents. It is obviously a good choice to compete with them before the Olympic Games.

Early the next morning, all members of the national team arrived at the Imperial Capital International Airport and boarded a flight to London.This time, their travel time was not hidden from any media. Driven by experts and reporters, hundreds of fans got up early and rushed to the airport to see off the men's basketball players, hoping that they could win in a foreign country. better grades.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the fans, Xu Hao suddenly felt heavy in his heart.Among the three major balls, Huaxia's strength in volleyball and football is very average, especially the national football team. I don't know how many years they have been scolded by the fans. The men's basketball team seems to be the only one spared among the three major ball sports.The reason is simple. Among them, there are several star players who attract fans, and Xu Hao is one of them.

In the eyes of the fans, this national team with three active NBA players has enough strength to wrestle with other strong teams. This requires everyone to play harder on the court and must fight for the victory of the game. last second.Xu Hao doubted that if the team really failed to qualify for the group stage, would he be ashamed to return to China after the game...

After a long flight, Xu Hao and the others finally set foot on the land of the British Isles.The UK has a temperate maritime climate, which is mild and humid throughout the year, with little change in cold and heat in the four seasons. In summer, the highest daytime temperature is just over 20°C, and it drops below 10°C at night.Xu Hao couldn't help admiring Deng Huade's arrangement, it seemed necessary to come to England in advance.

Deng Huade didn't arrange other trainings on this day, and of course he didn't let the players go out to find places for themselves. He asked everyone to have a good rest in the hotel room and prepare for the next warm-up match.He has already contacted many European teams through his relationship, and will eventually select two teams according to the schedule to play a warm-up match with China.

In fact, warm-up drills before the competition can be said to be a tradition of the Chinese men's basketball team. Local coaches do this a lot. However, in Deng Huade's view, it is enough to arrange two or three warm-up games to find out the feeling. It must be done one in advance. Yue is starting to warm up, isn’t that because his brain is flooded?If you really want to play seven or eight warm-up matches, you probably have lost your morale a long time ago.

In the end, Deng Huade chose Germany and Italy for the warm-up match of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. They are both teams from Western and Southern Europe. As for the relatively distant Eastern Europe, forget it, and maybe you have to pay for the transportation. !

Of course, there are definitely no stars. They won't come to play a game in vain. Even if they offer a high price, they probably won't agree. They want to take advantage of this summer to rest.But even if they don't come, the national team composed of other people is still more than enough for training. Maybe the Huaxia men's basketball team can't win these two games because of the drill tactics.

From the second day on, the whole team entered into a state of intense preparations.Deng Huade wrote a thick tactical manual a long time ago and distributed it to everyone. He also repeatedly emphasized that everyone should study it carefully after taking the manual back.

In fact, in Xu Hao’s view, this tactical manual only needs to be divided into two parts. The first is to hand the ball to Yao Ming and let him play in the low post. OK.The second is to play fast offense and defense. This is where tacit understanding needs to be cultivated. After all, the running routes are relatively complicated, but if everyone has a good understanding with each other, then the running position is not very important, and adapting to the situation is the key. the best.

Xu Hao wondered if other people would foolishly go back to memorize the tactics manual, but he couldn't memorize it anyway.Those old players in the Timberwolves reminded him more than once that tactics are not that complicated. If you find an opportunity, you will make it, if you can’t find it, you will create it, or simply hand it over to your teammates. As long as you can score, who cares what you do. Scored it!

During the training period, the Huaxia men's basketball team also finished the warm-up matches against Germany and Italy, and the final result did not exceed Xu Hao's expectations. The team achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss, and lost to Germany But beat Italy.For the results of the game, Deng Huade is not interested at all, he just wants to see the tacit understanding of the players in the game.

What surprised Deng Huade was that the players under his command played the tactics decently in such a short period of time, which is not something that can be done casually.He knows that these players have good tactical skills, but the joint training is only for a period of time, and this can have good results. Could it be that everyone is secretly playing chicken blood in the hotel?
As an experienced head coach, Deng Huade quickly discovered the mystery. In the final analysis, it was Xu Hao.Compared with two years ago, Xu Hao, who led the Timberwolves to win the championship, has become more mature, and his choice of passing routes on the court is also more sophisticated.Under his command, other players can easily find the right position, and whenever they appear open, the basketball is always passed to them in time, and the next thing they have to do is to hit the shot.

Xu Hao's performance further strengthened Deng Huade's idea of ​​setting him as the core of the team's tactics.Whether it is a half-court positional battle based on the inside line or a fast offense and defense based on interspersed running, Xu Hao adapts well, which makes Deng Huade feel relieved.He even complained about himself occasionally, why recruit so many defenders?Xu Hao is enough!
However, Xu Hao doesn't think he can support the team's backcourt alone. Any fool knows that restricting him is equivalent to restricting the Huaxia men's basketball team. When it comes to the Olympic Games, the opposing head coach will definitely make targeted arrangements , If you give yourself a soy sauce partner in the backcourt, wouldn't you be slaughtered?No matter how good the technology is, it's useless if it can't be used.

Of course, Xu Hao is very satisfied with the performance of his teammates. With such a group of outstanding teammates, he has the confidence to help the team break out of the group stage. As for whether he can create a better Olympic record, it depends on luck up.
