For a moment, the players on the court didn't know what to do, Yi Jianlian and the other three watched in a daze as Wang Meng got up holding the ball, and then shot on the spot, and for a while, no one reacted and stepped forward to make up for the defense.

"That's it! Stop it! Deng Huade looked at the three people who were a little overwhelmed and suddenly became angry, he said angrily after a word of free training, and said to Wang Meng: "Wang Meng, come to my office." ”

Wang Meng shrugged, smiled at Yi Jianlian and the others, and then walked away with Deng Huade.

"What kind of person, so arrogant, really think he is invincible?" At this time, one of the players on the field said indignantly.

Hearing this, Sun Yue and the others immediately glared at the man, and Liu Wei, who had a bad temper, said directly to the man: "He is arrogant? What if he's arrogant? People have arrogant strength, and if you have the ability, you can also come up and steal me to try? ”

The man opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he didn't speak, Liu Wei has already made a name for himself in China, and he is just a rising star, so it's better not to bump into him.

"Wang Meng came to the national team to help us play in the Olympics, I know why you hate him, it's nothing more than that he takes away one of your qualifying rights, but don't forget, even if Wang Meng doesn't join the national team, many of you will be kicked out of the national team, and one more of him is just for one more of you to be kicked out." Liu Wei sneered, regardless of these people who had changed their faces, and said to himself: "If you want to enter the national team, rely on your own strength, don't keep these useless things, otherwise a few of us will also give you a game What is the qualification!" ”

Wang Meng, who followed Deng Huade into the office, sat quietly on the sofa.

"Tea?" Deng Huade asked, and then said to himself: "Your Chinese tea is really a good thing, I used to love coffee, but after I arrived in your China, I found that tea is much better than coffee, and it is very healthy." As he spoke, he took out a tea box from a cabinet and slowly brewed the tea.

Wang Meng smiled faintly and said, "Of course, after all, it is a pure natural product, and of course it is much better than coffee that has been industrially processed with coffee beans." ”

It is worth mentioning that Deng Huade does not know Chinese, so the conversation between the two is in English, but fortunately, Wang Meng played in the NBA for two years, and the English level has skyrocketed, otherwise the two people are really difficult to communicate.

Deng Huade is not a professional tea maker after all, he simply put the tea in the cup, and then washed it with boiling water and put it in front of Wang Meng, without any attention, fortunately, Wang Meng is not a particular person, after holding it up and signaling to Deng Huade, he took a sip slightly.

"Good tea!" Although Deng Huade can't make tea, Wang Meng doesn't know how to taste tea.

But the two men still admired almost at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"To be honest, Wang Meng, I am not particularly excited about your arrival, on the contrary, I am still a little worried." Having drunk tea, as an American, Deng Huade is not an inkblot person, and goes straight to the topic.

Wang Meng's eyebrows raised slightly, he didn't understand why Deng Huade was worried.

"I've heard about you before, once for some reason, you didn't enter the CBA to play, but went overseas to play in the NBA, and then you were lucky to make a name for yourself, and the more you played, the better you played." Deng Huade continued: "Your strength is naturally undoubted, any player who can play a famous role in the NBA will definitely not be a weaker, but basketball is not a one-person game, players like Iverson and Maddie, no matter how strong they are, they can't win the championship with their own performance, and if you want to win the championship, the most important thing is the cooperation of your teammates." I'm not sure if you're going to be able to play with the Chinese guys. ”

Wang Meng didn't speak, just listened quietly to Deng Huade's words.

"I've had a really bad year." Deng Huade shook his head and said with a sad face: "Without Yao Ming, the other Chinese players will not be able to play for a long time, I know that it is really difficult for the Chinese team to go further in international competitions, and even qualifying from the group is a difficulty." But at least the current Chinese team has its own system of offense and defense, and even in the face of European basketball teams, it still has at least the strength to fight. ”

"What I'm most afraid of is that after you come to the team, there will be various contradictions with the current group of players, resulting in a lack of tacit understanding with them, you as the strongest player in China at present, you will definitely play as the core of the team, but if everyone in the team has conflicts with you and can't cooperate wholeheartedly, how far can you lead the team to?" Deng Huade continued: "I'm scared that when you come to the team, instead of making the team stronger, it ruins the chemistry of the current national team and makes the team worse, then my career as head coach of the Chinese national team should come to an end. ”

Deng Huade has been talking, but at the same time he is still carefully observing Wang Meng's expression, he wants to see something from Wang Meng's expression, but he is disappointed, Wang Meng's expression has not changed since he began to listen to himself, as if what Deng Huade said has nothing to do with him.

Helpless, Deng Huade could only continue: "So, Wang Meng, I hope you can be a little more restrained in the national team, after all, this is not an American NBA team, you are not everyone's recognized boss, even if you want everyone to obey you, it needs a slow process, otherwise it will only make everyone disgusted with you and think you are a blind and arrogant guy, understand?" ”

Wang Meng suddenly laughed, from the time Deng Huade started to speak, Wang Meng's expression had not changed, but when Deng Huade said this and asked him, he suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Dunward was inexplicable.

"Do you know why I want to join the national team?" Wang Meng put away his smile, looked directly at Deng Huade, and did not answer Deng Huade's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" Deng Huade was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of how to answer.

For prestige? Wang Meng's super performance in the NBA has long made him more popular than Yao Ming at the peak of the year, for money? What is an Olympics worth? Even if he wins the championship, the prize money is only a few million, and Wang Meng's income in the United States is now tens of millions a year, and it is still in US dollars, so he will not run back because of this small amount of money.

"For honor?" Deng Huade thought left and right, a little hesitant to ask, to be honest, he actually does not believe this at all, in an American value of interests first, honor is really not particularly valuable compared to money, but as the head coach of the Chinese national team, Deng Huade is confident that he knows these Chinese very well, and in the minds of most Chinese, glory is much more than money.

"yes, I didn't think you knew." Wang Meng looked at Deng Huade in surprise, he didn't expect him to really be able to guess.

"I'm the head coach of the Chinese national team!" Deng Huade said.

"Well, you guessed it, I'm just in it for the honor." When Wang Meng said this, his eyes suddenly became a little fanatical, "Deng Huade, the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the world is only the top eight!" It's just that the quarterfinals understand? That's it, a lot of people are still complacent. And I joined this team not for the quarterfinals! Deng Huade, I returned to China to participate in the Chinese men's basketball team, in order to make history, I want a medal, even a gold medal! Do you understand? ”
