Lu Fei returned to Pengcheng.

The Chinese men's basketball game has ended, and this time the Chinese men's basketball team created the best result in the history of men's basketball and won the seventh place in the men's basketball event of this Olympic Games.

But people are so strange, obviously before going to the game, the fans said that if you can enter the quarterfinals, the opponents are all European and American teams, and it is not easy to win one game.

Then, the Chinese men's basketball team won one game and another game......

Until losing to the American team, the fans suddenly felt unwilling, how could they lose, how could they meet the American team, if they lost to Serbia and Montenegro before, the Chinese team might not be able to win medals, if Harris didn't use Lu Fei to death, Lu Fei wouldn't be injured, if Lu Fei wasn't injured, how could the Chinese team only be seventh.

The fans were unhappy and blamed Harris for the loss.

Garbage coach, parallel trade coach became synonymous with Harris.

People are always like this, as they move forward a little bit, their desire will become inflated a little bit, and it is no longer the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team to enter the top eight, but to win medals, but even if they win medals, the Chinese men's basketball team will really become a world basketball power?

Lu Fei knows that in this era of meritocracy heroes, the process is not important, but the result is important.

Just like an exam, the teacher doesn't care how you usually study, and it doesn't matter if you copy the exam or not, as long as you can get a high score and rank high in the grade, it is good.

It's really the college entrance examination, and I'm out of business.

Of course, if you can get a high score in the college entrance examination, you can also be considered a cow, but such a cow is really in the society, and it is estimated that if you don't stop cooking today, you will have to be unlucky tomorrow.

People have a long life, an exam can't determine a person's life, and the road of Chinese basketball is also long.

If you can use a loss, it will change the overall spirit of Chinese basketball.

Lu Fei felt that it was a good thing.

This time, if the Chinese team really luckily avoided the United States and won the medal, just like the child who plagiarized successfully in the college entrance examination, maybe one day he will fall a big heel.

"Lu Fei, you go and bring me that, that, and that in the kitchen!" Lu Fei's mother's scream interrupted Lu Fei's thoughts.

Lu Fei came back to his senses and asked, "What to take?" ”

Lu Fei's mother: "That's it, that, forget it, don't take it, it's harder to expect you to do something than anything!" ”

Lu Fei: "......"

"Why did you say that you came back alone, and you didn't bring Gu Tang back, and you can do it to put her little girl in the United States, besides, American schools don't have summer vacations?" Lu Fei's mother asked.

"Vacation." Lu Fei sat back on the sofa again, "She still has something to do over there." ”

Gu Tang is too busy this year, the economic company established by Lu Fei needs to be managed, and now there are so many NBA players such as Brandon Luobi, Anthony Washington, Chris Paul, and Wilcon Roy, but there is only one agent, Joe Smith, Smith is too busy alone, and he has to find an assistant for him, recruitment, finance, and a bunch of things need to be handled by Gu Tang.

On Facebook's side, Zuckerberg moved the company to Palo Alto, California, home to Stanford University and the birthplace of Silicon Valley, and the growing number of users also caused problems for Facebook, and another social networking site, ConnectU, took Facebook to court, claiming that Zuckerberg illegally used the source code they developed when he asked him to help build the site.

Gu Tang is as busy as a spinning top now, and he really doesn't have time to return to China.

Lu Fei was still a little distressed when he thought about it, after all, he was his real girlfriend, but when he thought that he couldn't handle those things, he felt that it was better to let someone who specializes in art do it.

"This is this morning's Sports Weekly, you see, about your national team coach Harris." Lu Fei's father walked in from outside the door, took out a stack of newspapers sandwiched under his arm and put it on the coffee table in front of Lu Fei.

Lu Fei took it and glanced at the date on it, where is today, is it obviously yesterday?

The news on the front page of the basketball page is that the Chinese team narrowly defeated Lithuania in the seventh-place competition and won the best seventh-place men's basketball result in history.

He didn't look closely because he had watched the game, and he flipped it back, and behind it was the latest results of the Olympic basketball game.

"Argentina beat Italy to win the Olympic gold medal in men's basketball, Italy was the runner-up, and the U.S. men's basketball team won the bronze medal."

"Why the U.S. men's basketball team lost, the reason is revealed."

"Will the Chinese men's basketball team win a medal if it loses to Serbia and Montenegro?"

The entire page details the results of the men's basketball tournament over the two days, with Argentina beating Italy to win gold, followed by the United States beating Puerto Rico 104-76 to win bronze and Spain beating Greece to finish fifth.

The results of the game also assume that if the Chinese team loses to Serbia and Montenegro in the group stage, the Chinese team will meet Greece or Puerto Rico in the quarterfinals, as long as the Chinese team passes this hurdle, no matter whether the game wins or loses, it will definitely make history, whether it is facing Serbia, Montenegro Italy or Lithuania, the Chinese team has the possibility of winning, and the Chinese team will have a good chance of winning the medal in this competition.

The newspaper did not blame anyone, but truthfully analyzed the possibilities.

Lu Fei's fingers kept tapping on the table, and the first reaction of the fans in this newspaper was the phrase 'one general is incompetent and exhausting the three armies', and Coach Harris will become the target of public criticism.

I just don't know when the report I told Chen Qiao will be released.

At this time, Lu Fei's father, who had originally walked into the room, suddenly walked out, holding another newspaper in his hand: "I just gave you the wrong one, today's newspaper is here." ”

Lu Fei took the newspaper, and the most eye-catching piece of the basketball page of the newspaper was the article written by Chen Qiao.

"Silent Heroes" - This report is transferred from Lu Fei's oral account.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Fei, I believe that when you read this report, the Chinese men's basketball team has finished all the games of the Olympic Games, and from the moment I was injured, the first reaction in my mind was not that I was injured, but, we were going to lose."

"Actually, we thought that we would lose, and even before the game against Serbia and Montenegro, we were thinking that even if we meet the American team and lose to the American team, we must take every game seriously."

"This year's Chinese team is a little different from the past, because we have two more foreign coaches, of which Coach Harris is the first foreign head coach in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, to be honest, I had a very bad impression of Harris at first sight, because when I appeared in the training center, the head coach didn't even say hello to me, he thought I couldn't play the core, I didn't recognize his level as a head coach."

"But when I learned that Coach Harris didn't get any salary from the Chinese men's basketball team, I was a little surprised, and even he bought a video analyzer at his own expense, and became the head coach of the Chinese team, and he also posted a sum of money, is this foreigner a brain?"

"I asked him once why he came to be the head coach of the Chinese team for free, and he didn't say why, just took a puff of cigarette and glanced at me, and then said to me: Get out of the way!"

"When we came to the Olympic Village, the least accustomed thing was Harris, who bathed without a curtain and was full of mosquitoes at night, and we could see him analysing the video late into the night every night, compared to the snoring of the Spanish coach not far away every night that could resound throughout the hallway."

'In the group stage, we won against Spain, New Zealand, Italy, lost to Argentina, and we didn't want to give up even a second in all the games, until the last game, before the game against Serbia and Montenegro, we were faced with a choice.

"By giving up this game, we can avoid the U.S. men's basketball team, and as a lot of the reports have done, we have a chance to win a medal. As a professional coach, Harris naturally understands the truth of this, he is a very honest person, he said not to give up, but he still put me and Yao Ming on the bench. ”

"I think the sentence he said'Don't give up' is actually the truest thought in his heart, he is entangled, this game can't be won, but he doesn't want the players to give up, because giving up is a habit, just like on the battlefield, when you have been a deserter for a long time, you really fight, and the soles of your feet will involuntarily want to smear oil."

"I sat on the field with Da Yao, all my teammates did their best on the field, to be honest, at that moment Da Yao and I had an impulse in our hearts, the urge to go on the field and fight side by side with our teammates."

"Harris didn't let us play, he knows, the players want to prove that they can play and win without me and Da Yao, teammates are not willing to give up any game, because we didn't give up the game, we met the United States men's basketball team, and everyone knows the result of the game with the United States, we lost, but we can proudly say that we, the Chinese men's basketball team, played every basketball game seriously, and we didn't give up any game!"

"If you lose, someone has to be responsible, and Harris, who supports us, has become the target of public criticism, everyone is discussing that if Harris is not blindly commanding, the Chinese men's basketball team may not have won medals, Harris did not refute, he took all the responsibility, he silently endured all the pressure, just to let the players of the Chinese team learn one thing - not to admit defeat easily, standing on the court we are running for victory."

"When the strength of Chinese basketball can be compared to the top teams in the world, do we still need these opportunistic methods? I know that a lot of people like to look at the results and talk about the fart without medals. ”

"I want to tell you that we've got a medal – a medal that we never give up!"

"No medal is more important than any medal! It was Coach Harris who helped us win this medal and he was the hero who really deserved it. ”

"There is a kind of hero, he is silent."

Lu Fei was almost moved to cry by himself after reading it, when did I say such sensational words, but after reading it, I still felt a little uncomfortable, which shows how those ordinary fans will feel after watching it.

Chen Qiao's ability to make up stories is really good, and the dead can be said to be alive.

But in this way, Harris's image among the fans should be able to be re-erected.

Lu Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash, "To hell, give me back my dictation, talk about your sister's ......"

Sunlight poured into the room through the window, and a warm feeling filled the body.

At this time, the phone in the building of the Basketball Association was ringing non-stop.

"Hey, I don't know very well about this, Harris is still the head coach of the men's basketball team."

"The seventh-place finish in men's basketball is outstanding, Coach Harris is a great coach, and whoever told you that he was fired is a non-existent thing."

"Harris has always been committed to helping the Chinese men's basketball team, and we are grateful for his dedication."

Li Yuanwei had a bit of a headache, originally because the men's basketball team only finished seventh, and the General Administration of Sports also had news that Harris would be fired, but I didn't expect that it had only been two days, and the fans had all changed their tunes, and they all called to care about Harris and asked not to fire Coach Harris.

He looked at this morning's newspaper on the table and smiled dumbly: "This Lu Fei...... I really don't know whether to thank him or scold him. ”

But at least this matter has a good ending, and the performance of these Chinese men's basketball players in the Olympic Games has set a good example for all basketball players in the country, and the current spirit of domestic basketball has taken on a new look.

This group of men's basketball players comes from various teams in the CBA league, and when these players return to their own teams, they can also serve as role models for other players on the team.

That's a good thing!

Li Yuanwei is confident that in such an environment, coupled with his policy of hard work, Chinese basketball will definitely take a big step forward and become a world powerhouse sooner or later.

The TV in the office was broadcasting interviews with other teams by CCTV reporters, and important members of several teams commented on the Chinese men's basketball team.

Ginobili: "I think the most admirable team in this Olympics is the Chinese men's basketball team, they are a resilient team, if we didn't use some small tricks, I think we would probably lose to the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage." ”

Head Coach of the Italian team: "The Chinese men's basketball team adheres to the Olympic spirit, sets an example for world basketball, and shows the style of the world's top teams. ”

Larry Brown: "Chinese basketball will surely grow into a top team!" ”

Gasol: "I'm looking forward to playing against the Chinese men's basketball team again in four years, and next time, we won't lose to the Chinese team again. ”

At this time, there was also a voice of solidarity with Coach Harris on the Internet, and Chen Qiao's news made fans know a different Harris.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Li Yuanwei's phone rang again, he didn't know how many times the phone rang today, some of them were calls from old friends who were related to him and who cared about basketball, and some were calls from media reporters, and he answered the phone today.

"Hey, I'm Li Yuanwei, Harris...... What the? Harris is resigning? ”

Li Yuanwei was stunned, on the cusp of this storm, what kind of job did this foreign master resign!

Three days later,

Men's Basketball Training Center.

Lu Fei and Yao Ming also rushed over from Pengcheng and Shanghai respectively, and all the players of the Chinese men's basketball team gathered in the training hall to say goodbye to Harris.

"Really gone?" Lu Fei walked out, looked at Harris and said.

Harris smiled: "I really have to go back, I don't have a salary here, the Olympics are over, I have to go back to the United States to continue making money." ”

"Do you want to come back?" Lu Fei asked.

Harris hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Don't come back, in fact, Younas is a good coach, I think he can help the Chinese men's basketball team, and besides, I have nothing to teach you." ”

Younas stood aside, he didn't know why, he felt that he had been arguing with Harris for months, and at the moment when Harris decided to leave, he was a little sad.

Harris hugged and said goodbye to each player one by one.

When he finally hugged Lu Fei, Lu Fei said with a smile: "See you in the NBA in a few months." ”

The car at the door sounded the sound of horns, the road was crowded, and reporters gathered around the door holding their cameras ready to press down and take pictures.

The sun shone on Harris's body, pulling his back for a long, long time.

Lu Fei, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi stood in a row, watching Harris walk out of the training center, and the flash of the camera in the reporter's hand clicked.

"Can you two stop standing with me next time......

"What's wrong?"

"Show me short."

Lu Fei continued to smile, but he was thinking in his heart, the Olympics are over, is the new NBA season still far away?
