"Wang Zhizhi?"
"Sun Yue?"
Yi Jianlian couldn't help but sigh when he heard these two names.
Zhao Feiyang was surprised, "Don't you think they can do it?"
"of course not."
Yi Jianlian replied, "We have played in the Olympics together, and I know their strength better than anyone else. However, the national team's affairs are far more than just basketball... I say this... .Can you understand?"
Zhao Feiyang and Yi Jianlian looked at each other, but neither of them said any more.
Although he had been mentally prepared for this, Zhao Feiyang was still helpless when he got the answer.
"If they can join the national team, the national team will definitely be much better than it is now..."
Zhao Feiyang is not a person who gives up easily, especially when it comes to the victory or defeat of the national team.
Therefore, on the second day after the game, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to go to the door of the head of the training base's office and found Xin Guotao who was resting.
Bang bang bang.
The door of the office is open, and Xin Guotao is sitting in a chair with his eyes closed to relax. He seemed a little unhappy at being disturbed, and just as he was about to speak angrily, he saw that the person coming was Zhao Feiyang.
Xin Guotao immediately calmed down his unhappy mood and stood up politely to welcome Zhao Feiyang in.
"Feiyang is here! What's wrong?"
Zhao Feiyang also sat down on the sofa.
Without being too polite, he directly stated his intention to Xin Guotao, "Chairman Xin, you have also seen the national team's game, so I have something to say... The national team is not strong enough now. If If we want to perform well in the World Cup group stage, I think we still need to strengthen the lineup..."
Xin Guotao smiled when he heard Zhao Feiyang say this.
"good."
"Feiyang, I'm very happy that you can consider the national team! You were the hero of yesterday's game and the one the national team relies on. What do you want? Tell me! I want to hear your plan... .”
Xin Guotao acted like an elder who spoke with sincerity and sincerity, which made Zhao Feiyang quite surprised in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he had heard so many rumors about Xin Guotao, Zhao Feiyang would probably mistakenly think that this is a leader who truly cares about the players of the national team based on the posture that Xin Guotao is currently showing.
"My idea is very simple. Wang Zhizhi can make up for our gap in the interior, and Sun Yue can ensure the height and offensive firepower of the back line... If they can return to the national team, I think we The World Cup group stage should go more smoothly..."
Zhao Feiyang finished speaking one second, and the smile on Xin Guotao's face suddenly disappeared the next second.
Especially when the name "Wang Zhizhi" was mentioned, for a moment, Xin Guotao's smile almost froze on his face.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly returned to his previous calm demeanor. He turned to Zhao Feiyang and said, "Feiyang, I have considered Dazhi and Sun Yue you mentioned... It's not just me. The national team has also considered them, especially Sun Yue, and we even held a special internal meeting..."
"However, I'm afraid you don't know much about Sun Yue's situation. His shoulder condition is not optimistic after the end of the season... Yanjing Club has also stated that in order for Sun Yue to be healthy and play games next season , they decided to let Sun Yue have surgery in the offseason..."
"Of course we want Sun Yue to play, but his injury is related to his career. We can't let him play with injuries just for the sake of the game..."
Xin Guotao's reasons are indeed correct.
Zhao Feiyang believed it a little at first, but soon he became suspicious again. Yao Ming had a lot of injuries in the past, but he didn't miss many games in the national team. Why did the national team suddenly become so enlightened when he came to Sun Yue?
However, if Sun Yue is really injured, he will really not be able to help the national team compete in the World Cup.
Letting the opponent risk career reimbursement for the World Cup is a very shameless behavior in itself!
"What about Wang Zhizhi?"
Zhao Feiyang asked again.
Xin Guotao took his time, "There is nothing wrong with Da Zhi's body, but he is a bit older. He is now 36 years old...I admit that Da Zhi's skills are absolutely fine and he can still help the country." team, but the national team can’t always rely on him!”
"What will happen when he retires from the national team? Are we going to keep him from leaving?"
"So this time his withdrawal is also the result of discussions between the top management of the national team... We selected so many rookie players not because we want to use them, but because we have to consider the future of the national team... ..”
Having reached this point, Zhao Feiyang really had nothing to say.
No matter what the truth is, at least the reasons stated by the other party are completely unproblematic.
Seeing that there was really no other way, Zhao Feiyang stopped talking nonsense, immediately said goodbye and left Xin Guotao's office.
After he left, Xin Guotao finally showed his unhappy face.
"snort!"
"I say that people who can play can still play even if they can't play; if I say that they can't play, then they won't be able to make it to the national team no matter how good they are..."

There is not much time left in the World Cup group stage. After two days of rest, the Chinese men's basketball team finally set off for Madrid, Spain, to wait for the official start of the competition.
Before the departure of the China Men's Basketball Team, the official draw results were officially released.
This time, the Chinese men's basketball team had pretty good luck. Instead of being drawn into a group with super strong teams like Spain or the United States, it successfully entered Group D.
The opponents in Group D are Slovenia, Lithuania, Angola, Pickle Country and the Mexican men's basketball team.
There are a total of 24 participating teams in the World Cup, divided into 4 groups ABCD, with 6 participating teams in each group. In the first round of the group stage, elimination will be carried out through points and other methods. The top four teams with high points will advance to the next round, and the bottom two teams with low points will be eliminated.
As soon as the group stage spots were announced, Chinese fans also started discussing the opponents this time.
"There are only three teams in Group D that threaten us. The first is Slovenia. They are a strong team in the European League. In the last men's basketball world championship, they finally reached the semi-finals... In terms of strength, they are absolutely Stronger than us..."
"The second team is the Lithuanian men's basketball team. They finished third in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games. We definitely can't do it at this level..."
"The third team is the Angola men's basketball team. Although they are not as powerful as the first two opponents, they are among the top three teams in Africa. They have almost never fallen out of this ranking. They are the kind of people who can fight for it and maybe win. opponent......."
"The pickle country has no big problem with the Mexican men's basketball team. If we can't beat them, it will be really embarrassing..."
"Holy crap! In this comparison, it seems that only two opponents are weaker than us, and the others are stronger than us... Who said this group is the best?"
"Not bad! Let you go to Group A or Group C, with the Spanish men's basketball team, the American men's basketball team, or the French men's basketball team... I guess we can be swept out of the group stage... ....”
