After the match between the Chinese team and the Italian team, the interview area was crowded, and Chen Qiao, as an exclusive reporter for Lu Fei and Yao Ming NBA, did not have any special treatment in the Olympic Games, so he could only squeeze in the interview area with other reporters and wait for the arrival of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After a while, Harris appeared in the interview area with Lu Fei and Yao Ming.

Harris was flushed, and it was obvious that he was very happy to win the game today and lock in the quarterfinals in advance, which can be regarded as completing the task assigned to him by the Chinese Basketball Association.

Before the interview, he also made an exception for the team reporter and smiled: "You can ask any questions in today's interview, as long as you can answer, I will definitely answer." ”

You know, before that, reporters had a hard time trying to get a word out of Harris's mouth.

Reporter: "First of all, congratulations to the Chinese team for locking in the quarterfinals in advance, if they can win the next game of Serbia and Montenegrea, the Chinese team will be likely to qualify as the first group leader for the first time in history, is Coach Harris confident?" ”

If the Chinese team can win against Serbia and Montenegro again, the group result will be four wins and one loss, and Spain's next game against New Zealand will also be four wins and one loss, but Spain lost to China, so the group ranking will be behind the Chinese team.

If Argentina wins Italy, China will be second in the group, but if Argentina loses, then China will be the first team in the group.

Harris said solemnly: "It's not up to me to decide whether or not to be the top of the group, at least not until we win against Serbia and Montenegro and Serbia and Montenegro ”

"Besides, even if we win against Serbia and Montenegro, it depends on whether the Argentine team can help or not...... Of course, I think Serbia and Montenegro would prefer Argentina to help them. ”

The reporters in the audience were all dumbfounded, because if Argentina wins Italy, no matter what the final victory or defeat between China and Serbia and Montenegro is, Serbia and Montenegro will advance to the quarterfinals.

Serbia and Montenegro are very sad, whether they can advance to the quarterfinals depends on whether the Chinese team and the Argentine team give face.

Serbia and Montenegro won against China, Argentina and Italy won or lost, Serbia and Montenegro lost to China, and if they want to advance to the quarterfinals, Argentina must win Italy.

Chen Qiao finally seized the opportunity to ask a question, and hurriedly asked: "Hello Yao Ming, the Chinese team has advanced to the quarterfinals, when are you going to shave your beard?" ”

"I want to keep it for a while, I think this beard will bring us good luck." Yao Ming touched the stubble on his chin and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be able to shave off my beard so quickly, I originally thought that I would wait for it to grow a little longer, and when I went to the United States, I would see who of my new teammates could use it...... The Lakers have a lot of players with shaved heads......"

Yao Ming, who was in a good mood after winning the game, naturally made a joke.

"I think the Lakers players probably don't lack beards." Harris then said: "Your former head coach, Van Gundy, I think you need your beard more. ”

Harris's humor poured down like cold water.

"Looking forward to the good luck brought by your beard, let us wish the Chinese men's basketball team can win against Serbia and Montenegro!" Chen Qiao smiled awkwardly: "However, although Serbia and Montenegro have lost three games this year, they are still the champion team of the last World Championships, and the strength of the team should not be underestimated, are we confident that we can win against Serbia and Montenegro?" ”

"Of course Serbia and Montenegro are strong, but ...... We are stronger. Lu Fei sat aside and saw Yao Ming a little embarrassed, so he took over the conversation in a timely manner and replied: "In fact, all the media have always thought that the Chinese men's basketball team is still the image of the Asian weak team in the past, but in these games, we won Spain, Italy, and New Zealand, which is enough to prove that we have the strength to wrestle with these world strong teams, maybe the strength of our entire Chinese basketball is not so strong, but as long as we continue to work hard, I believe that one day, even if there is no Yao Ming, no Lu Fei, no Wang Zhizhi, The Chinese men's basketball team will still be one of the strongest basketball countries in the world. ”

Chen Qiao was stunned, all the reporters in the audience were stunned, Lu Fei's words were a bit big, because everyone knows that the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team has been able to achieve its current results is mainly because of the strong combination of Yao Ming and Lu Fei, if there is no Yao Ming and Lu Fei, the Chinese men's basketball team may be a third-rate team.

But Chen Qiao saw a serious gaze from Lu Fei's eyes, and he knew that Lu Fei really thought so in his heart.

Lu Fei's voice did not fall.

Harris directly poured a basin of cold water again: "I think Lu Fei is still too idealistic, in fact, there are still many shortcomings of the Chinese men's basketball team......"

Balabala......

Chen Qiao hurriedly recorded the shortcomings proposed by Harris, he looked at the manuscript on the book with satisfaction, Lu Fei's words expressed his expectations for the Chinese men's basketball team, but what Harris said was the problem that the Chinese men's basketball team needs to improve, as a reporter, especially a Chinese reporter, he has the obligation to tell all those who care about the Chinese men's basketball team.

Harris asked a few questions.

First, the physical strength of Chinese players.

There is indeed a certain gap between the physical fitness of Asian players and European and American players, but this gap is not as big as we think.

Our training is not as systematic and scientific as in Europe and the United States.

The professionalism of the players needs to be improved.

Second, Chinese players are not fast enough and often make mistakes because of hesitation.

Of course, Lu Fei is not included in the players he is talking about.

The third, and most critical problem, is that when Yao Ming and Lu Fei are not there, other players are not confident in playing.

Harris even made his request: "Can the Chinese players tell themselves that I am the best when Yao Ming and Lu Fei are away?" ”

These questions are somewhat out of place at this time, but fortunately, it is not so harsh to say them when you win, and these problems have been mentioned more than once in the national team.

Harris often pulls Wang out to set an example for all the players.

Among so many players, Wang Zhizhi is a veteran in the team, and in terms of seniority, Battle can be on an equal footing with him, but Wang Zhizhi is the hardest and most serious one in training every day, especially the most basic things, and he is always one of the best people to complete.

It's just that, at this time, is it appropriate to always pour cold water like this......

What a stubborn old man.

The next day was the women's basketball game, and the Chinese men's basketball team had a day off.

On this day, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the American women's basketball team and has been determined to miss the quarterfinals, so the Chinese men's basketball team has become a lone seedling of Chinese basketball.

Lu Fei was dragged out by Carmelo Anthony at noon, and just as he was resting today, Lu Fei asked Harris for leave, but when he arrived at the place, he saw that it was Carmelo Anthony who was going to play a heads-up game.

There's Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Okafor, who was drafted by the Bobcats this year......

Unlike Lu Fei, several of them sat on the bench, and they were almost suffocated in the past few days.

As the night deepened, the men's basketball players in the Chinese men's basketball dormitory area had gone to bed, and the lights in the dormitory were slowly extinguished.

Lu Fei was also sent back by Anthony, and it is the team's rule that he is not allowed to go out without permission at night.

When I walked to the top of the stairs, I suddenly saw a broad back, sitting on the steps of the stairs.

Be...... Battle?
