Hearing what Coach Wang said, Ye Feng felt relieved. He looked at Zhao Dongqiang and the others with admiration and gave them a thumbs up. He felt that their decision to let them become yellow-level ancient warriors was the right one.
Zhao Dongqiang and the others also smiled at Ye Feng with a playful grin. They could also feel that their physical fitness had been greatly improved, and it seemed as if there was an endless amount of energy flowing through their blood.
Ye Feng urged: "You guys train well, but save some strength for the training match later. Tomorrow is the real match, today is just a training match."
"Got it, Master. Thank you for your concern."
Coach Wang didn't understand why Zhao Dongqiang and the others called Ye Feng "Master", so he came over to correct them: "You should call him Mr. Ye, why call him Master, that's really old-fashioned."
Coach Wang didn't expect that after these few days of training, Zhao Dongqiang and his teammates' physical fitness and basketball skills had improved by leaps and bounds. At first, he thought they had taken stimulants, but the urine test data were normal.
How could he know that this was all thanks to Ye Feng, who had the players eat the Huang Ling Dan and turned them into ancient warriors at the yellow level.
Becoming ancient warriors not only greatly improves their physical fitness, but also greatly enhances their stamina, potential, and endurance.
There was a noise outside the basketball stadium: "They are here, the Dream Team is here."
The Dream Team includes some well-known stars. Knowing that the Dream Team is coming to Jiangnan for a friendly match, many fans have been waiting at the entrance of the basketball stadium, holding their mobile phones and banners, ready to take a snapshot.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Coach Allen led his Dream Team members off the bus and walked into the basketball hall.
Seeing Ye Feng, Allen shook hands with Ye Feng enthusiastically: "Mr. Ye, thank you for your hospitality yesterday. We meet again."
"Hello, Coach Allen. We will have a practice match today. You must give it your all and don't let us win."
"Haha, of course I will do my best, you guys have to hold on."
Zhao Dongqiang and his team also lined up and shook hands with the players of the Dream Team. They were quite excited to be able to compete with these big-name stars from the US professional league.
Lu Qingqing also shook hands with Coach Allen: "Where's Helen? Didn't she come with you?"
"Helen isn't feeling well and is resting in the hotel. Besides, I never bring my girlfriend with me to training."
Ye Feng laughed secretly beside him. It was not that Helen was uncomfortable, she just couldn't stand the sun.
Ye Feng saw two familiar faces from the Dream Team. Ye Feng was not a football fan, and these two faces were not the stars he had seen on TV. They were the two foreign youths, the bald man and the bowl-cut man who had shocked him in the gym that day.
They also felt quite embarrassed when they saw Ye Feng, and extended their hands with a wry smile: "Hello, Mr. Ye."
“Are you also players on the Dream Team?”
“We’re the backup guys.”
"The substitutes on the Dream Team are also very good, but you have to remember that you not only have to know how to play basketball, but also how to behave. You have to know how to respect others and your opponents."
Knowing that Ye Feng was extremely strong, the two of them did not dare to complain and just nodded in agreement as Ye Feng taught them.
Both sides started warm-up exercises. After half an hour of exercise, they began an informal training match to help both sides get familiar with the venue and adapt to the venue.
Ye Feng and Lu Qingqing sat in the stands, watching their training and competition. There were not many people in the wide stands. There were only a few basketball stadium staff and the logistics staff of both teams. It seemed very empty.
Because it was a training match, in preparation for tomorrow's official match, both sides did not try their best and were not too desperate. They were relaxed and played with more tricks, making it more like an exhibition match for Ye Feng and Lu Qingqing.
Especially the American Dream Team, who occasionally did a front flip dunk and won applause from the audience. Even the guerrilla team members secretly admired their super jumping ability.
Zhao Dongqiang was not to be outdone and also did a front flip dunk. His moves were no less graceful and flexible than those of the players of the U.S. Dream Team.
Ye Feng nodded secretly. In this jump, Zhao Dongqiang not only had good jumping ability, but also used a little bit of Luo Yanbu technique.
Zhao Dongqiang concealed his real strength, and only when he dribbled through, he held the ball slightly in his palm like a ghost, turned around a few times, dodged the blockade of several players of the Dream Team, and sent the ball steadily into the basket.
Coach Wang focuses on team coordination and the tacit understanding between players. Mistakes during coordination are the biggest weaknesses of the Jiangnan team.
But today, perhaps because the ancient warriors' movement nerves were abnormally sensitive, those links that would often go wrong were coordinated very tacitly. They passed the ball, grabbed the ball, and blocked the ball. Several people acted like flowing water and were in perfect harmony with each other's minds.
Although both teams concealed their strength and were relatively relaxed physically and mentally, the scores of the training matches were very close, and there were even several ties. Unconsciously, the atmosphere on the basketball court became tense.
Suddenly, a player from the Dream Team, tall and fat, like a big polar bear, slammed into Zhao Dongqiang.
Zhao Dongqiang felt a gust of wind coming, and he secretly used suction force in the palm of his left hand to suck the basketball in his palm. At the same time, a surge of internal force surged in his other hand, concealing the Tianluo fist's technique of using the opponent's force to counter attack, and using a little force to move a large object, circle and move.
Not only did he dodge the opponent's charge, he also successfully broke through the siege, rushed past two opposing players, and reached under the opponent's basket.
The tall and fat player of the Dream Team felt as if a strange force was wrapped around his body, pushing his left shoulder and pulling his right shoulder, causing him to spin twice on the spot like a top, and then he slipped and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled knowingly and whispered to Lu Qingqing, "Zhao Dongqiang's father is an ancient martial artist, which makes him understand ancient martial arts more deeply than others. I dare say that in tomorrow's competition, as long as they keep fighting like this, they will definitely win."
Lu Qingqing didn't quite believe it, and smiled and said, "You're telling fortunes again, are you so confident?"
“I’m that confident.”
Coach Wang was quite satisfied with his players' performance in today's training match. He blew the whistle for timeouts from time to time and made certain adjustments based on the Dream Team's style of play.
Coach Allen frowned as he watched from the side.
In his impression, it is impossible for Chinese basketball players to have such close cooperation, such proficient ball control and dribbling speed, let alone such high shooting accuracy.
Coach Allen never fights a battle without preparation. Before coming, he and his players studied the video of the professional game between the Southeast team and the Yudu team.
That is the Chinese National Professional League, which reflects the true level of the team.
Watching the video of the Jiangnan team's flawed playing style, Allen and the players laughed loudly at the Jiangnan team from time to time. Facing such a second-rate team, they would definitely be able to win this game against them, and win by a large margin.
