Chapter 198 Bravely meet the challenge, Coach Wang Yan returns to China to start training
Many Chinese fans were disappointed with the news.

Because they all believed that Wang Yan was a citizen of the Celestial Empire and should contribute to the country.

However, many fans hold the opposite opinion.

They all saw what happened to Yao Ming, so they didn't support Wang Yan to participate in those unimportant competitions.

Besides, they just finished the NBA finals and haven’t had a rest yet.

Therefore, most Chinese fans are looking forward to Wang Yan’s first coaching career.

Generally speaking, not many basketball stars who are great at playing become successful coaches.

Because outstanding stars have a higher level of understanding of technology, the technical moves they perform on the court are difficult for other players to perform.

Therefore, even Wang Yan's die-hard fans are not optimistic that he can bring good results.

Besides, the overall level of Chinese players is very poor now, and after Yao Ming retired, the situation is almost a mess.

Wang Yan was also under a lot of pressure.

He knows the cruelty of competitive sports.

No matter how many impressive achievements you have made before, if you fail once, you will be trampled into the dust.

Haters can blacken you to death!

Wang Yan could imagine what kind of treatment he would receive if he failed to win the championship by leading the Chinese men's basketball team this time.

But he doesn't care at all!
After two days of preparation, Wang Yan and Liu Yifei returned to China together.

When the two got off at the Capital Airport, there were really crowds of people, loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers!
Not to mention Wang Yan's popularity, Liu Yifei has also become very popular recently through several movies.

Her acting is much better than in Another Parallel World.

I guess Wang Yan finally enlightened him.

The two interacted with fans at the airport for more than an hour, and then, under the protection of airport security, they left the airport by car and headed straight to the hotel.

The next day, Wang Yan came to the training hall of the national men's basketball team.

According to Wang Yan's request, all the players on the Chinese men's basketball team's roster that he designated were in place.

No one dares to be late, and no one dares to be absent.

Because Wang Yan had already announced through Yu Zaiqing that if someone did not come on the day he arrived, then they should not come in the future!
It’s so brutal!
In fact, this is normal, the coach should have this authority.

Wang Yan walked to the center of the gym with his hands behind his back, and all the players stood in a row.

In terms of age, Wang Yan is younger than most players.

But Wang Yan's mental age was that of a middle-aged man in his thirties before he traveled through time.

Coupled with the various experiences in the past two years, Wang Yan looks very powerful. Wherever he goes, he makes the players of the national team silent.

"Let me just say a few words. You are all representing your country. You can lose the game and you can be inferior to your opponent in skills, but you must never slack off or admit defeat!"

"If I find a player slacking off during a game, I will not forgive him!"

In fact, Wang Yan is always very easy-going when interacting with others.

But this is the national team, we must establish our authority first!
As the old saying goes: Kindness cannot command the army, and righteousness cannot command the wealth!
That's the truth.

Next, Wang Yan asked the players to start training according to his training plan.

Wang Yan's training plans are all formulated according to the scientific methods of the NBA.

Of course, Wang Yan also took into consideration that domestic players have different physical conditions and the intensity of their usual matches is not that high.

So he has reduced the intensity of his training a lot.

Even so, the Chinese players couldn't stand it.

Except for Abdul-Jabbar and Guo Ailun, everyone else is a little overwhelmed.

Wang Yan also understood that this intensity was a bit too much for them.

But this is the purpose of the training camp, to allow players to adapt to the intensity of international competitions in advance.

So Wang Yan secretly observed the details of the players' performance.

Some players are indeed not adapting well and are having a hard time keeping up, but they are all gritting their teeth and persevering.

But Wang Zelin and Sun Yue were obviously a little impatient and were trying to be clever and lazy.

Wang Yan was very annoyed and decided to teach the two men a lesson.

"Zhelin, what do you think of the intensity of this training?" Wang Yan came to Wang Zhelin, who was doing strength training.

As an inside player, strength is very important.

But most of China's inside players lack strength.

It's okay to play in the CBA, but once you enter the international arena, you will suffer a big loss.

Wang Yan must change this phenomenon.

Of course, the training period was less than a month, so he didn't expect to see quick results.

At least there needs to be some improvement before we can play well in the Asian Basketball Championship.

"so far so good……"

Wang Zhelin felt a little guilty and just gave Wang Yan a perfunctory response.

"Your weight is a bit low, isn't it?"

The weight of the barbell that Wang Zhelin uses for bench press is only 80 kilograms!

This is just a joke!
He is an inside player!

Wang Zhelin began to sweat and stammered, "Coach, I'm warming up. I'll add more later!"

Wang Yan nodded, sat aside calmly, and looked at him with his hands on his shoulders.

"Okay, I'll stay with you."

Wang Zhelin became even more nervous when he saw Wang Yan sitting next to him looking at him.

In desperation, he had to start adding weight to the barbell.

100 kg...120 kg...

Wang Zelin was becoming more and more exhausted, and his face kept twitching.

"Don't push yourself, take a proper rest, and don't strain your muscles!"

Wang Yan was very experienced and reminded Wang Zhelin.

Wang Zhelin was already sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

"Got it... Coach!"

After dealing with Wang Zhelin, Wang Yan came to Sun Yue's side.

Sun Yue is doing a shuttle run with several outside players.

Everyone else was working seriously, but after Sun Yue ran a distance, he deliberately found something to do and took a break.

For example, squatting down to re-tie shoelaces, or chatting with the staff next to you.

Guo Ailun did more than 20 sets of shuttle runs, but he only did seven or eight sets.

"Sun Yue, it seems that you have much better physical strength than Guo Ailun. He is already sweating profusely, but you barely have even a few beads of sweat!"

Wang Yan said with a sneer.

Sun Yue was very embarrassed and could only laugh dryly: "Coach, I am older than Allen and I am good at slow warm-up!"

Wang Yan pointed at Wang Dazhi next to him and said, "Are you older than Brother Dazhi?"

Wang Dazhi next to him was practicing the shuttle run meticulously, sweating profusely.

You know, Dazhi is already 37 years old this year.

Sun Yue's face immediately turned red, like a big piece of red cloth.

Wang Yan took off his coat and said, "Come on, let's play ten sets together. If you can beat me, I'll treat you to a midnight snack tonight!"

The team members heard the conversation between the two, gathered around and started to make a noise.

"That's great, haha! I can have the coach's midnight snack tonight! Monkey, it's up to you!"

Sun Yue is actually quite popular among his teammates, but he's a little lazy.

When he saw Wang Yan made the bet, he knew that Wang Yan was killing two birds with one stone.

First, this method can be used to warn Sun Yue not to be lazy in front of me!

Second, it can also help you get closer to the players and pave the way for future coaching.
