Argentina is a strange country, at least that's what Hu Qingniu thinks.

Argentina is a developed country, and many people did not expect that there would be a developed country in Latin America, which is commonly known as the Third World.

200 years ago, Argentina was a colony of European powers, as was other Latin American countries. Unlike most countries, which were colonies of Portugal, Argentina was indeed a Spanish colony. Ninety-five percent of Argentines are descendants of Spanish immigrants, and the two countries are close. But speaking Spanish or speaking Portuguese makes no difference in nature.

Argentina has abundant agricultural resources, in the 80s of the 19th century, animal husbandry became the backbone of Argentina's economy, cowhide and beef are the main export products, forming the so-called "cowhide civilization".

Since then, Argentina has absorbed a large number of foreign immigrants to develop the Pampas, making plantations the backbone of the national economy.

It was the rise of the primary industry that made Argentina a developed country, but now Argentina, the name of a developed country has died in name only. In a few years, Argentina will be removed from the list of developed countries and become a strange country in the history of the world. Returning from developed countries to developing countries.

In the past two years, with the arrival of the deadline for the repayment of Argentina's $132 billion foreign debt. The hidden danger of over-reliance on foreign capital has erupted, and the domestic economy has declined. Argentina has a debt crisis externally and inflation internally.

The complexity of the ethnic composition, social instability, and the long-term unequal distribution system have all contributed to the continuous weakening of the cohesion of Argentine society. With the outbreak of internal and external troubles, the Pampas eagle with broken wings is not having a good time.

At present, the Argentine government has run a deficit, and the corresponding Argentine basketball team has lost its source of funding. For the sake of the country, the players can have no income, but the team can't do without a coach. There was really no way, and Ruben Magnano, a retired star of the Argentine national team who had participated in the Barcelona Olympics in 92, recommended himself as the head coach.

But although Ruben used to be a good player, he didn't have much experience leading the team. The results of leading the team are even zero. At the moment, the Argentine national men's basketball team is very strong, and everyone wants to find a strong head coach, preferably one who is familiar with American basketball, because their goal is to beat the strong American team from the beginning.

Since NBA superstars competed in the men's basketball tournament at the Olympics in '92, no one has been able to beat Team USA at the Olympics. The U.S. team's dominance in the world basketball arena is much more stable than its other strength, athletics.

There was a short-lived Yugoslavia, but Yugoslavia collapsed in '02, so in the 2004 Olympics, it was widely believed that no team could qualify to challenge the United States.

The current Argentine men's basketball team has only the leader of the team, Manu Ginobili, landed in the NBA. So the players handed over the task of finding a manager to Manu. As an outside player, Manu's circle of friends in the NBA is very narrow, and there are no acquaintances in the coaching circle, so he entrusted this matter to his mentor **vic.

Vicky happened to hear that Hu Qingniu had refused to join the Dream Team. It just happened that ** and the GDP trio discussed where to go on vacation, and the old man came up with this idea and earned Hu Qingniu to Argentina.

In the room of the Seaview Hotel, Hu Qingniu stands at the window, and outside the window is the ebb and flow of the sea, which is just like Hu Qingniu's mood ups and downs.

The old man fiddles with his Motorola flip phone on the couch with a weak heart. Duncan and Parker were on their own business, watching TV as outsiders.

Only Ginobili was restless, expecting and fearing disappointment.

Suddenly, Hu Qingniu turned his head.

Hu Qingniu, **, Manu, the three of them looked together, staring at each other.

It was Hu Qingniu who broke the peace.

"Manu, I promised......"

Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Ginobili jumped in ecstasy.

"Really, Instructor Doctor!"

Hu Qingniu stopped.

"But! But! I have to be in control of the basketball team, and I don't want to be dictated by the Argentine officials. ”

Ginobili swore by it.

"No problem, they don't care about any of this, we don't get a penny from them, and of course we don't have to be led by them."

At this time, ** took out a bottle of Lafite from the wine cabinet and poured a few glasses.

"To celebrate Hu becoming the head coach of the Argentine men's basketball team, let's have a drink."

Hu Qingniu didn't appreciate it at all.

"You drunkard old man, you actually cheated me like this. Tell me how we should calculate this account. ”

Grabbing his thinning hair, he smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, hehe. This, ahhhhh Let's talk about something fun, hehe. Hey, Tim, do you want cake? ”

Duncan stumbled to his feet and replied dumbly.

"Okay, where are you going?"

Hu Qingniu rolled his eyes on the side, this drunkard old man was obviously changing the topic, but Hu Qingniu didn't pursue it.

Took out his mobile phone and called Boss Qiao. Of course, you have to inform your boss about such a big thing. After all, with Boss Qiao's salary, you should also talk to the boss about taking private jobs and summer jobs.

The phone was connected, and there was a loud noise, and there seemed to be a party on the other side, which seemed to be much more lively than the Argentine night.

"Coach, how is it, have you repented? The scenery of Argentina can't be compared to the hot beauties of Las Vegas. Do you want me to send a private jet to Miami and wait for you, you fly an international flight back and you will be to Las Vegas in less than 10 hours. ”

After Jordan finished speaking, Rodman's voice interjected next to him.

"Coach, come on. We left you a hot beauty that is definitely no worse than a chubby chick in Latin America. ”

Hu Qingniu reprimanded.

"Dennis, why are you here, didn't I tell you to go to South Korea to inspect Hasheng Town."

Rodman complained.

"You say that stupid hippopotamus, I've never seen anyone play basketball like this, it's huge, but it's a complete beginner. I went on a scouting day and left, and I also met scouts from the Trail Blazers, who were said to want to sign him. Coach, let's forget it. ”

After some idle time, Hu Qingniu finally returned to the topic.

"Michael, I took on a private job in the summer, I don't think you mind."

Boss Qiao said curiously.

"What kind of job can you call me and ask me?"

Hu Qingniu replied.

"The head coach of the Argentine men's basketball team."

Hu Qingniu's voice is not high, but this news is undoubtedly heavy news.

Boss Joe was shocked.

"What, coach, didn't you travel to Argentina, and now tell me that you want to be the coach of the Argentine men's basketball team?"

Hu Qingniu said helplessly.

"It's hard to put into words. But I promise it won't affect the Bobcats' affairs. ”

Boss Qiao didn't care.

"Okay, there are no games in the offseason, just let Patrick lead the team in the summer league, you take Argentina well, and winning the medal also improves the reputation of the Bobcats."

Hu Qingniu prevaricated.

"Try to ...... as much as you can"

Taking a sip of Lafite, facing the sea breeze, Hu Qingniu thought of the team he was about to coach, that is, the "golden generation" of the Argentine men's basketball team. It was at the 2004 Olympics in Greece that Argentina's "Golden Generation", led by Ginobili, toppled Larry Brown's American Dream Six in one fell swoop.

They were the first team to eat crabs and shook the world basketball world greatly. This also led to the emergence of the super dream eight team led by Kobe and James in 08.

But in this era, on the eve of the Greek Olympics, no one can know what kind of team the Argentine men's basketball team is. Isn't this exactly the team Hu Qingniu wants, maybe ** has helped him a lot this time.

Larry Brown may not have imagined that Hu Qingniu's sentence, "Next time, I hope you wish me good luck", the deadline is not a year. It was the Olympics two months later.

Against Larry Brown this time, Hu Qingniu still seems to be the underdog, but he is confident enough to beat the unbeatable American Dream team.
