In 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team reached the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games for the third time at home, which made the people of the whole country rejoice. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info you must know that in 2007, China sent a second team to participate in the Asian Championships only won the 10th place, creating the worst record of the Chinese team in the Asian Championships, and the quarterfinals of the Beijing Olympics undoubtedly gave Chinese fans a shot in the arm.

But the crisis of the Chinese men's basketball team soon erupted. Whether you admit it or not, Yao Ming has grown rapidly since he was selected for the national team in 1998 and has grown rapidly into the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he is also the only position in the Chinese men's basketball team that does not fall behind in the face of the powerful United States at the Beijing Olympics. However, Yao Ming, who has been fighting on both the NBA and the national team for a long time, was finally overwhelmed, and in the 2009 Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers, Yao Ming was injured in the first game, although he returned to the court after a short treatment and helped the Rockets win on the road, but on May 10, he was injured again, was diagnosed with a fractured left foot, and immediately announced the season reimbursement.

Without him, the Chinese men's basketball team played a humiliating game at the 2009 Asian Championships in Tianjin. In the final of the 52-70 loss to Iran, the Chinese team set 4 shameful records, namely the lowest score in a single quarter (10 points in the first quarter), the lowest score in the half (25 points in the half), the largest loss in the Asian Championships (18 points, 16 points previously), and the first time to lose the championship at home. After the game, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng's "snickering door" was also exposed, and coach Guo Shiqiang announced his resignation.

On May 4, 2010, Yao Ming was selected for the men's basketball training team, but on December 18, the Rockets doctor confirmed that Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season due to another mid-ankle stress fracture, and he only played in five games in the past 2010-11 season, averaging 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Ye Feng also knew that Yao Ming was still recovering from his injury, and there was already news that the greatest player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team was ready to announce his retirement, so Ye Feng also called Yao Ming many times, but Yao Ming's tone was very tight, and Ye Feng didn't hear anything. But the only thing that is certain is that Yao Ming will definitely not be on the list of the Chinese team in the men's Asian Basketball Championships held in Wuhan this year.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that he could stay out of the matter, but when a middle-aged man claiming to be a staff member of the Chinese Basketball Association appeared in front of him, his eyes still widened. repeatedly confirmed that the middle-aged man in front of him, who claimed to be surnamed Chen, was really from the Chinese Basketball Association, and Ye Feng was even more confused. Unexpectedly, Director Wang opened his mouth to hope that Ye Feng would return to Chinese nationality and represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the Wuhan Asian Championships, Ye Feng was instantly stunned.

Looking at Ye Feng's surprised and confused expression, Director Wang smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Xiao Ye, I'll call you that for the time being!" If you pay attention to Chinese basketball, you may know that since the 2005 Asian Championships in Doha, China has not won two consecutive Asian Championships, which is the first time in the history of Chinese men's basketball and the first time that our Asian hegemony has been questioned. Therefore, this year's Wuhan Asian Championships is a game for the Chinese men's basketball team......"

Ye Feng was confused, and he interrupted Director Wang's words in a low voice: "Director Wang, you seem to have forgotten that the UAE is still in the NBA, although he is not like a main player when he was in the Nets before, but at least the Wizards have gained a firm foothold, and if he is there, there must be no problem for the Chinese men's basketball team to deal with an Asian Championship." ”

Director Wang's expression became a little embarrassed, and he muttered, "Ahem...... The UAE is still very strong, but he is an inside player, and now we are still short of people on the outside of the national team...... And Xiao Ye, you are the new MVP of the finals after all......"

Ye Feng smiled dumbly, it turned out that it was for his sake as the MVP of the finals! But this is human nature, after all, no one would invite a nobody into the national team, and it is normal to invite yourself now. But...... He looked at his left foot, it seems that this Director Wang is going to be disappointed today, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength! Ye Feng also plans to take a good rest this offseason, how can he compete in the Asian Championships with an injury?

Although Ye Feng has no feelings for the Chinese men's basketball team for the time being, as a good young man who has received Chinese education from his parents since he was a child, Ye Feng still has a lot of feelings for his motherland, even if he does not join the national team, he will find an opportunity to return to Chinese nationality in the future. As the so-called business is not benevolent, at present, it is better not to stiffen the relationship between yourself and the Basketball Association, so as not to be embarrassed by both parties.

He pondered for a moment, and said with a sad face: "Director Wang, as an official of the Chinese Basketball Association, you must be very familiar with the NBA game, then you should remember that I sprained my ankle in the fourth quarter of the fifth game of the finals......" Saying that, Ye Feng raised his leg and motioned to the other party to look at the protective gear on his foot, "Now I am still in the stage of recuperation, although there is no soft tissue damage, but according to the doctor's instructions, I may have to undergo rehabilitation training throughout the offseason, so ......"

Ye Feng's words were very straightforward, Director Wang's face was a little cloudy, in his opinion, he flew all the way to Portland to invite Ye Feng It was already very face-saving, and he would be rejected by the other party, where did this make the face of the Chinese Basketball Association go? Although Ye Feng's ankle injury is true, in Director Wang's opinion, it is not that serious at all, it is nothing more than an excuse that Ye Feng is unwilling to join the Chinese national team......

Director Wang's face Ye Feng saw it all in his eyes, and he knew with his knees that this official master was definitely not in such a happy mood, but so what? Not to mention that he is still an American citizen, even if he is a Chinese national, does the title of MVP of the finals still care about your thoughts as a director? It's a big deal that I won't join the Chinese men's basketball team, anyway, the person who was severely criticized by Chinese fans was not him Ye Feng. Besides, it is an indisputable fact that he was injured in the finals this year, and it is understandable that he did not join the national team, but next year is the London Olympics.

Ye Feng didn't speak, and quietly waited for Director Wang to weigh it himself. After thinking for a while, Director Wang reluctantly squeezed out a smiling face, saying that he would forget it this year, and hoped that Ye Feng would recover from his injuries and join the Chinese men's basketball team to compete in the London Olympics next year. Ye Feng shook his head secretly while agreeing, what annoyed him the most was this kind of bureaucratic style, everything had to be linked to face, and even he didn't have a good impression of the entire Chinese Basketball Association.

That's it for this year, and then think about the Olympics next summer. Ye Feng knew that Yao Ming was fighting on two fronts for a long time, and all kinds of Asian Championships, Asian Games and the like had to recall him to participate, otherwise how could he have been injured in less than ten years after joining the NBA? He didn't want to be like Yao Ming.
