"I don't agree with hiring foreign coaches again, it should be a coach who is more familiar with the situation of the players in China to be responsible for the coaching of the national team, see what this Foreman has done, choose players based on his own personal preferences, regardless of the specific situation, he will be 80% responsible for Lin Haidong's injury."

Just when Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei packed their bags and prepared to return to China after participating in the championship celebration of the runners, a meeting on the position of the new head coach of the national men's basketball team was underway in the office building of the new basketball association in the capital of the Republic.

In the previous six months, a top-down reform took place in the Republic, and the Basketball Management Center of the General Administration of Sports, which had been responsible for the actual management of basketball in the Republic, was abolished, and all the actual management was handed over to the Basketball Association, which had previously existed only as a mascot.

After half a year in turmoil, the Basketball Association has reluctantly stabilized its management work, and at the same time, new problems have been put in front of them.

The head coach of the foreign national team hired by the former basketball management center was boycotted by many national team players, which is the first time since the founding of the Republic that players have boycotted the head coach.

Although Forman, the current head coach of the national team hired by the basketball management center, led the team to win last year's Asian Championship and the East Asian Cup, this did not allow him to continue to stay in the current position of national team head coach unharmed.

Forman has always been at odds with the basketball center over the use of certain players, and his overly tough personality and too players have led to constant struggles within the national team.

Now that the Basketball Association has begun to take over the work, and the players have corresponding channels for feedback, many national team players have united to write a bloody letter to the Basketball Association to denounce Forman's "wanton behavior".

Speaking at the meeting before was the current vice chairman of the Basketball Association Kuang Yuhai, Lin Haidong was originally a seedling discovered by one hand, and now plays for the Fumin Haifeng Club of the Republic Basketball League.

Prior to this, in an unimportant international warm-up match, Foreman asked the injured Lin Haidong to play, Lin Haidong played less than five minutes before being knocked to the ground, and then carried out of the field on a stretcher, and it is estimated that it is likely to take more than half a year to return.

Seeing the players he cultivated being used like this, Kuang Yuhai was naturally very angry, and now a large number of good young coaches have emerged in China, so he naturally has to speak for his family.

"Lao Kuang, you look at the problem too one-sidedly, after all, Forman has led the team to a good result, besides, if there is no strong head coach, can those players play hard?"

There are different opinions on Kuang Yuhai's statement is his old opponent Ma Kai, he and Kuang Yuhai are both older generation of national players, and they are both engaged in coaching after retiring, and in recent years, they have only entered the basketball association after retiring when they are older, but they did not expect to be in power now.

"How can you not work hard when you enter the national team, and fans who don't work hard can scold him to death. He's Foreman strong, but he's too strong, he doesn't allow any opposition from the team, he doesn't allow the players to dispute the tactical arrangement, who does he think he is? Basketball coach or president of the nation? Now talk about democracy, talk about science, coaches have to do this, you don't explain your tactical thinking to the players clearly, the foolish people in the clouds and mountains and fog, just talk about iron and blood, but the fucking iron and blood for two years, our national team players are about to change three times, is this iron and blood? This is a fucking waste! ”

Kuang Yuhai's qualifications are old after all, and he started a fire as he spoke, and the entire conference room was filled with the sound of him slapping the table.

"Then replace Foreman, but do you have any opinion on who to replace?"

In order to appease the players, it is necessary for Foreman to leave, but the Basketball Association has basically formed a consensus on the choice of replacement for Foreman.

"Since everyone disagrees, how about I propose someone to choose you?"

It was Miyagi, the newly appointed president of the Basketball Association, who spoke.

Miyagi was once the first Republic player to appear in the NBA league on the other side of the ocean, and he was also the first Oriental player to enter the league's Hall of Fame after retiring.

The fifty-two-year-old Miyagi is much younger than the vice-presidents in the room, but he has the most decisive power to speak, which is a symbol of his status and prestige.

"What do you think of Coach Wang Lei? He just played in the NBA Finals, so he should have time! ”

Miyagi said the name that made many people here a little embarrassed, after all, there are many people here who also worked in the basketball management center before, and they are more clear about the little things between the basketball management center and Wang Lei, and many people also think that Wang Lei is too young, and letting him take office is to slap many people present in the face, so everyone tacitly avoided Wang Lei's name.

Although Wang Lei still has the title of a special adviser to Chinese basketball, he really doesn't care about it, and Wang Lei has never felt that with this title, he can really point fingers at some things in China.

"Coach Wang Lei's level is still there, but his age is indeed a little ......, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public when he takes office!"

Kuang Yuhai never felt that Wang Lei was a good candidate, and he felt that Wang Lei would definitely not obey the management of the Basketball Association.

"I think Coach Wang Lei is a good candidate, he just led the team to win the championship over there, what else can not convince the public, now which domestic player does not want to go over there to break through, Wang Lei may be able to find a good way out for our players after taking office."

Naturally, Ma Kai is the old man who opposes Kuang Yuhai, and this old coach actually has a certain relationship with Wang Lei, because he coached Wang Lei's father back then.

"Coach Wang Lei is indeed very good, but there must be a contract with North America, can we get it?"

"It doesn't matter if the contract is concerned, we can talk about it, and I didn't ask Coach Wang Lei to resign directly with that side, so I can work part-time."

Miyagi is very interested in Wang Lei, he is a person who has participated in the NBA, and knows how difficult it is to win the championship there, and Wang Lei's ability to do this is enough to show that he is excellent.

"Then will Wang Lei himself be willing? doesn't rest in a row, after all, there is also a family. ”

"You can talk about anything, right, the No. 2 chief also said before that we should be bold and open up to the introduction of talents, at least let's contact Wang Lei first to see if he has any thoughts on the national team."
