Chapter 282: Men's Basketball Rebellion
Seeing Chamberlain coming over, Sun Yue smiled and put away the ball, in fact, the two were very wrong, Chamberlain didn't like Sun Yue very much, mainly in terms of personality, Sun Yue's smile always made him feel very fake, which is very different from Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian has a somewhat introverted personality, but he is very honest, and Sun Yue makes Chamberlain feel that he is a bit opportunistic.
For example, when Chamberlain first came to the men's basketball team last month, Sun Yue was the most enthusiastic one, helping him arrange a room to familiarize him with the city of Beijing and introduce him to his teammates. But when he later found out that his teammates were not interested in Chamberlain, and Younas, the head coach, had a particularly bad relationship with Chamberlain, he quickly distanced himself from the other party.
This made Chamberlain very angry, and later Li Qunzhi comforted him, saying that Sun Yue was recruited into the national team by Younas after all, and it can be said that it was Younas who single-handedly excavated Sun Yue and was his mentor, which was right.
Chamberlain walked up to Sun Yue, and there was really no topic, so he asked, "What are you practicing?" Is it practicing right-handed dribbling? ”
As soon as this sentence was asked, the smile on Sun Yue's face was a little stagnant, which was also a reason for the discord between Chamberlain and his teammates, Chamberlain grew up in the United States, although influenced by his parents and grandparents, he had the humility and low-key of the Chinese, but more of a straightforward and flamboyant most Americans.
Sun Yue is a left-hander, but he has been playing hard since he was a child, and he has practiced his right hand very hard. Originally, this should be his strength, such as Ginobili, who is also left-handed, but he has developed a right-handed attack skill, so he has a reputation as a South American demon knife, and when he holds the ball, no one can tell which side he is going to attack from and which side to finish the attack.
The problem is that Sun Yue was unfortunate to have a comminuted fracture of his right index finger when he was playing in the Aoshen team, which affected the ball control and shooting stability of his right hand. The rest of the men's basketball team understands, so they never use his right hand to say things, which is also a characteristic of the Chinese character, that is, never touch people's shortcomings.
Chamberlain is different, he doesn't care about this, in fact, he said that he wanted to help Sun Yue, after all, the old Curry is also a left-handed player, and he is also a marksman. But Sun Yue doesn't know Lu Dao, and he doesn't want to know Lu Dao, he is very sensitive, Chamberlain said this, he felt as if the other party was pitied for him.
The change in Sun Yue's expression made Chamberlain realize that he had said the wrong thing, and Yao Ming was giving him a look not far away, he thought about it and suddenly thought of a better topic, and said happily: "I participated in an event called NBA Believers last night, do you know who I met there?" ”
Chamberlain's happiness made Sun Yue depressed, who did you see at that event and what is the relationship with me? However, he still cooperated and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Chamberlain smiled: "It's a beautiful girl, she said her name is Gu Chen......"
As soon as the word 'Gu Chen' appeared, the smile on Sun Yue's face collapsed directly, and he didn't smirk like before, and walked away with a blushing face.
Chamberlain was depressed, he looked at Sun Yue's angry back and looked around blankly, Yi Jianlian hurriedly walked up and pulled Chamberlain, and explained in a low voice: "Man, Gu Chen is Sun Yue's ex-girlfriend...... The relationship between the two of them is very difficult to say, all in all, don't mention Gu Chen's name. ”
Chamberlain couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "How do I know this? ”
Led by a physical trainer, the players warmed up before Younas appeared on the pitch with assistant coaches Ayr, Kwok Shiqiang and Nelson Jr.
Seeing Chamberlain, Younas's face was not very good-looking, he gathered the players together and asked first: "Are all the people here?" ”
Yao Ming hurriedly said: "Yes, coach, everyone is ready." ”
Younas glanced at Chamberlain, and snorted coldly: "That's good, I thought that someone was going to participate in what activities and programs couldn't participate in training, here I repeat, since I joined my team, then there must be discipline, I can tolerate the lack of strength of my team, but I must not tolerate that I am leading an undisciplined team of rangers!" ”
As soon as he said this, Chamberlain understood that the old man was mad at himself.
Younas had a hot temper, Chamberlain was still excessive, and after he understood, he said directly: "Mr. coach, you can say something clearly, I don't think a man should do anything with a gun and a stick, and mockery and ridicule!" ”
The players were in an uproar, no one expected Chamberlain to have such a hot temper and refused to suffer at all.
Little Nelson hurriedly winked at Chamberlain, this little Nelson is naturally the baby son of Don Nelson, he is now the assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, that is, Younas's assistant, and was specially invited by the men's basketball team leader Li Yuanwei.
Asking Nelson Jr. to be an assistant coach for Younas can also be described as well-intentioned.
Initially, it was decided to ask Nelson Jr. to be Younas's assistant, an idea that had little to do with Chamberlain, as early as last year, the Basketball Association began to contact Nelson Jr., and Nelson Jr. joined the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff earlier than Chamberlain joined the Chinese nationality.
At first, the idea of the basketball association was that Nelson Jr. had rich experience in coaching in major tournaments, advanced training methods and tactical concepts in the NBA, which could bring a lot of help to the national team, so the basketball management center first sent an invitation to Nelson Jr.
The first to invite Nelson Jr. was Younas, who teamed up to lead Lithuania to a near-final win over the United States in the semi-finals at the Sydney Olympics eight years ago. In 2007, when Younas was on vacation at home, he kept an eye on China's CBA league and kept in close contact with Nelson Jr.
In addition, there is another important reason why the Basketball Association finally decided to let Nelson Jr. join the coaching staff: he knows Yao Ming very well. Among the Rockets' 29 opponents, the Mavericks are undoubtedly the team that has studied the Rockets the most, and Nelson Jr., who has been with his dad for many years, has a better understanding of Yao Ming's weaknesses than he does.
Nelson Jr. has a deep relationship with Chinese basketball, and it was he who fell in love with Wang Zhizhi and helped Wang Zhizhi become the first Chinese person to land in the NBA. Nelson Jr. has been an assistant coach to Lithuania for the past 16 years, helping them reach the semi-finals of the Olympics four times, win bronze three times and win once against the United States.
Coupled with the rise of Chamberlain later, inviting Nelson Jr. became the top priority of the Basketball Association, and the Basketball Association thought about it at that time, if Cao Nan's trip to the United States had no effect, then let Nelson Jr. come forward to talk, and it should be no problem to win Chamberlain.
After Nelson Jr. came to the men's basketball team, his coaching skills did not show much, but he became a peacemaker, he had a good relationship with Younas, and he had a better relationship with Chamberlain - Nelson Sr. took Chamberlain as his own son, so they are brothers who are not related by blood.
So seeing that the two were arguing again, little Nelson suddenly had a headache and hurriedly stood up to put out the fire.
However, Younas and Chamberlain are both hot-tempered, both of them are the same geniuses, both have the same temperament, and it is normal for sparks to occur when they meet each other.
Younas is no less legendary than Chamberlain, whose full name is Younas Kazlauskas, and his achievements as a player are quite impressive: he was selected for all age groups from the national junior team to the national team, and after joining the Soviet men's basketball team, he was the main point guard.
Younas' club coaching experience is even more impressive than his playing days, having won six Lithuanian league titles since 1995 and winning the European Club League twice. Since 1997, Younas has become the head coach of the Lithuanian national team, leading the Taowan national team to the European Championships many times, and led the team to participate in the Sydney Olympics and win the bronze medal. Younas has won the title of Lithuanian Coach of the Year several times, and in 2000 he was also awarded the title of Best Coach in Europe, and is known as the "Basketball Caesar" of Europe.
In fact, Younas is not aimed at Chamberlain, everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team has been criticized by him, and not only the players, but also the leaders of the Basketball Association and even the presidents of the CBA have been bombarded by him, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the 'Caesar Nine Questions'.
The Caesar Nine Questions incident occurred in July 2006, when Younas led the Chinese men's basketball team to train in Europe, and on June 26, 2006, the Chinese men's basketball team played its first game in Ancona to train in Europe, and the opponent was the Italian team, and the Chinese team lost by 5 points.
This game is a pretty good game in the training that lasted more than a month, and then as long as it encounters Spain, France, Lithuania and other European powerhouses, the Chinese team will lose very badly, and what is worse is that these teams are often unorganized, and some are only two teams, which makes the good-faced Lao You feel very embarrassed.
So, at the press conference after the training match, Younas, who couldn't bear it, threw nine questions to reporters from all over the world:
What is the poor physical strength of the Chinese team players? Why do you hesitate and make many mistakes on the field? What is the poor physical confrontation for 龗? Why can't you get rid of bad habits? What is the low level of the CBA league? Why can't you come to the player you want? Why do you only praise the players without criticism? Why is Yao Ming not there, we have no confidence in fighting? Why do the players keep asking me about every style of play?
These nine problems are really fatal, not only the players, but even the Basketball Association have been questioned, and even the essence of the Chinese men's basketball team has been criticized by him, and more importantly, at that time, he was not in China, but in Europe, and he fired a cannon at the media of the whole world, and the Chinese Basketball Association was really embarrassed to throw it into the world at that time.
Subsequently, in August 2006, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Australian team by 2 points in the last game of the Stankovic Cup, and the day before the next day was to send Japan to the World Championships, a victory did not shut up Younas, and he once again began to question the impact of the low level of the CBA league on the national team. Younas said: "Through these warm-up games, we can see the development trend of basketball in the world, and the style of the CBA is contrary to this, and the CBA league is obviously not fierce enough. ”
If the bombardment of the Basketball Association and the CBA league shows Younas's style, then his criticism of the players is even more endless:
The first unlucky one was Wang Zhizhi, in September 2006 at the World Championships, Younas fired at Dazhi, who had been in a slump due to injury: "I have great expectations for him, but he disappointed me very much today, and the Chinese team is like having one finger cut off from his ten fingers." ”
Then there is Yi Jianlian, in December 2006, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Doha to participate in the Asian Games. Although the first fight was won, the average height of the face was only 1. In Kazakhstan, which is 97 meters long, the Chinese team has one less rebounding ball than the opponent. Head coach Younas also pointed the finger directly at Yi Jianlian: "Yi Jianlian is always a good gentleman on the field, and he is always so gentleman when he plays, and I am very dissatisfied with this." ”
After bombarding Yi Jianlian, Younas pointed the finger at another insider, Tang Zhengdong: "This is Tang Zhengdong's last chance, but he disappointed us again." Although Tang Zhengdong had 12 minutes of playing that day, he only scored 2 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and had 2 turnovers.
After bombarding his players, in April 2007, Younas faced reporters' questions about fitness after a training session, and bombarded the basketball association again: "That's how I trained when I was in the Lithuanian national team, we have seven years of experience. If you have doubts about the way we train, then take a look at the Lithuanian national team's record against the Chinese team. ”
It's actually nothing to bombard Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Zhengdong, after all, this is not his descendant, and Sun Yue is a disciple of Younas who came out of the room, but even for this disciple, he is unceremoniously:
On June 13, 2007, head coach Younas's comments on Sun Yue in a public class attracted dissatisfaction from the Aoshen Club, and Younas directly told reporters that he was very clear about Sun Yue's strength, and the latter was not strong enough to play in the NBA, and he went to participate in the draft to bring about his own humiliation. These words angered the Aoshen team behind Sun Yue, who claimed that Younas's remarks were questioning Sun Yue's ability, which would affect Sun Yue's draft in the United States, and vowed to take Younas to court.
In fact, the men's basketball team, whether it is the leader or the player, the substitute or the main force, has been bombarded by Younas very badly, including the baby Yao Ming of the men's basketball team.
In July 2007, Younas said after the men's basketball open class: "All the preparation plans for the men's basketball team were formulated with Yao Ming's consent, and now he has not returned to the team. If he said he couldn't return to the team, we wouldn't have counted on him, but now that everything revolves around him, and he says he's injured, what's the matter? I can't fly to Houston to really give him a full body check-up, can I? ”
The men's basketball team knows Younas's temper, so he doesn't have the same knowledge as him, this old man has a short temper, but the coaching level is absolutely fine, and the nickname "European Caesar" not only means that he has a big temper, but his level of play is unquestionable.
But Chamberlain is different from his teammates in the men's basketball team, others including Yao Ming, even the NBA superstar grew up in China, has an instinctive awe for leaders and coaches, and they are all well versed in the middle of the road, and they are all good at forbearance.
Chamberlain was different, his temper was, if I make a mistake, you point it out, and as long as you have a point, then I will change it. But if I didn't make a mistake, then you apologize to me, you can't accuse me at will, let alone criticize me to be angry, otherwise, hum.
With this in mind, Chamberlain directly pushed away little Nelson who was blocking him, and he shouted to Younas: "You tell me clearly, where did I make a mistake? Yes, I haven't come to practice in a few days, but I haven't asked you for leave? If you don't want to approve my fake, just say it, if you approve my fake, stop squeaking like a. ”
As soon as Yao Ming and the others saw that something was going to happen, he and Yi Jianlian hurriedly came up to pull him and Younas apart.
Younas waved his hand and shouted, "Give me all back!" ”
He was very powerful in the men's basketball team, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian immediately stopped under a roar, he glared at Chamberlain and shouted: "Do you have discipline in your eyes? I approved you to take a vacation, that's the preferential treatment I gave you, and you still use this to bargain with me? Yes, you did train hard when you came to the team, but did you fully execute my tactics? What's the matter with your disobedience to me in training?! ”
Younas's roar did not deter Chamberlain in the slightest, and he countered with a louder voice: "Why should I fully execute your tactics, have you ever considered what your tactics are?" You're making me preoccupied with grabbing rebounds? Fuck it, do you think I'm a coolie? I've never seen a manager as stiff-headed as you, and I'll admit I've been a little late to the team, but aren't you going to redesign your tactics? I really don't know how someone like you became a head coach! ”
Chamberlain's words were perfect enough, and when he finished speaking, little Nelson, who knew Younas's temper, knew that the matter was going to be over.
Sure enough, Younas's eyes widened and he roared angrily: "You are still against the sky, who is the head coach here?" Remember, Chamberlain, no matter how big you are, you're just a player, I'm the manager, you know? I'm a chess player, you're a flag, I say you have to go wherever you go, and you have to do whatever you want! If you don't want to listen to me, then you quit the men's basketball team! If you don't believe in my coaching ability, then you can find a head coach for your men's basketball team yourself, and I will quit! ”
After saying that, Younas turned around and walked away!
