Xu Xin gritted his teeth and rushed inward, hitting Li Guanyang's right hand high for a layup.
Li Guanyang took off with all his strength and tried to block the shot, but the ball was too high and he couldn't touch it.
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced toward the basket.
"Boom, boom."
Bounced twice on the rim and fell into the net.
The ball was scored, 11:9, the game was over.
Xu Xin won, he raised his hands high and enjoyed the cheers of the audience.
At this moment, he also felt the excitement of Jeremy Lin and Butler's buzzer-beater. Although this game was not comparable to the NBA, his excited heart and trembling hands were the same.
The audience burst into warm applause and cheers. If anyone can surprise them again and again, it must be Xu Xin.
"Congratulations, you are indeed amazing!"
Li Guanyang came over and hugged Xu Xin to greet him.
"Thank you! You are also very strong. With your talent, it is very possible to enter the professional league."
Xu Xin encouraged.
The bullfight is over and the event has entered its final stage.
Xu Xin stood in the center of the field and interacted with the fans.
"If you have anything to ask Manager Xu next, you are welcome to ask. We have also prepared exquisite sporting goods for fans who ask questions.
Just raise your hand and I will select the most enthusiastic fans and friends, yes, just like him. The staff will please hand him a microphone. "
The on-site MC controlled the rhythm of the event.
A young guy on the sidelines waved his arms. The first one took the phone and asked:
"Hello, Manager Xu, do you think the Rockets can win the championship this year?"
the young fan asked nervously and excitedly.
Xu Xin replied happily:
"This is indeed my goal, but it is still very difficult to win the championship this year. I can't guarantee that we will win the championship this year, but I guarantee that the team will win the championship within three years!
and would establish a dynasty. I hope everyone can continue to pay attention to the Rockets. The Rockets will not let everyone down. "
With his low-key character, he will not shout loudly and shout for the Rockets championship all over the world, saying that it will never be important.
Moreover, being too high-profile can easily attract the attention of championship teams, which will cause the team to lose the opportunity in key games.
"Next!"
The MC took over and the scene suddenly became lively again. The fans waved their arms, hoping that they would be the next person to ask questions.
A middle-aged man was lucky enough to get the opportunity to ask:
"Hello, Manager Xu, I have followed all the transactions and signings you have made since you took office. What are your thoughts on team building?"
Xu Xin listened patiently. As expected of an old fan, his focus was more profound.
He replied:
"First of all, thank you for your question.
I built the team based on talent, energy, tenacity and strong discipline.
We focus on cultivating young players with the above qualities and strengthening the cornerstone of the team. This is the foundation for us to compete for the championship in the next ten years.
Then our plan has been implemented successfully so far. Harden, Butler and Jeremy Lin have all fulfilled their talents and are fully in line with the team's team building ideas.
After establishing the basics, I also acquired several players in free agency and trades that fit the style of the team.
There are experienced veterans such as Garnett and O'Neal, who have attracted much attention.
There are also puzzle pieces like Livingston, Ariza, and Tucker that perfectly fit the team.
Let me tell you in advance that the team's recruitment work is not over, and the Rockets will bring surprises to everyone. "
Speaking of the last sentence, Xu Xin showed a meaningful smile.
"Thank you, Manager Xu, for your answer. Let's continue. Let me see everyone's enthusiasm!"
MC shouted.
The stadium suddenly erupted in cheers.
"Choose me, choose me!"
"Here here!"
A young guy got the opportunity to ask questions. He took the microphone and asked with excitement written on his face:
"Hello, Mr. Xu! I have always been curious, as the general manager of the Rockets, what is your daily work like?"
Xu Xin smiled and answered in a relaxed and humorous tone:
"Wow, that's a great question! My daily work is actually very busy, because the NBA schedule spans a very long time, and we have a lot to deal with.
I am responsible for working with the coaching team to formulate tactics and training plans; communicating with the team management to ensure the overall smooth operation of the team; I also need to maintain close contact with the players to understand their status and needs.
Overall, I need to pay attention to all aspects of the team and make sure everything is going in order. "
The fans listened with great interest, the atmosphere was very lively, and the fans enthusiastically asked questions.
A middle-aged man with some graying temples asked:
"Manager Xu, the Chinese men's basketball team has begun to decline in recent years. As the general manager of the NBA basketball team, will you provide help to the Chinese basketball team?"
"Of course, when I return to China this time, in addition to participating in activities, I also intend to inspect our young domestic players.
In fact, there were plans in this regard before, but due to the lack of contact information of the Chinese Basketball Association, this matter has been delayed until now.
I am taking this opportunity today to make an advertisement. I hope the staff of the Basketball Association can get in touch with me and we can work together to help the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team get out of its trough. "
Xu Xin spoke generously.
He does have some preconceived prejudices about the Basketball Association. In the previous life, Chinese basketball declined rapidly after the golden generation of 2008. From not winning a single game in the Olympics, to not even qualifying for the Olympic World Cup.
Looking at the development and changes of other countries in the past ten years, Slovenia, which was once defeated by Wang Shipeng's super long three-pointer, has cultivated a peerless genius like Luka Doncic, and the team has naturally become an Olympic Games player. The World Cup quarter-finals and even the semi-finals are regulars.
Germany, which we once defeated, can now effortlessly beat us by 30 to 40 points, overcoming all obstacles in the World Cup to win the World Cup.
The World Series was weak, and it also suffered frequent defeats in Asia.
From losing to Iran and South Korea at the beginning, to losing to Taiwan, Anhui, and Syria, now it can't even beat the Philippines.
The regression is so obvious. It cannot be said that the Basketball Association is entirely responsible, but the Basketball Association is definitely responsible.
For example, Xu Xin felt that the talent pool was very unreasonable.
Therefore, on the surface Xu Xin is talking about cooperating with the Basketball Association, but in fact Xu Xin does not have much hope for this.
If we want the Chinese men's basketball team to rise, we must allow more players and coaches to go abroad and experience high-level leagues. There is no other way.
Is it possible to rely on planning? After all, basketball is a team sport. If there are one or two outstanding players, it will be in vain if the others fail.
Xu Xin is skeptical about this. After all, the national football team is an example of failure.
In his view, planning is just the final act of madness, and the next step may be to investigate corruption and step on the sewing machine.
