The year 2008 is an extremely important year for the Chinese nation, the first time in the history of this nation to bear the heavy burden of holding the Olympic Games, the eyes of the whole world are on Beijing, as long as the Olympic Games will open in three months, who knows that this happened at this time, the Chinese nation can no longer put all its energy on the Olympic Games.
However, the disaster has brought pain to the Chinese nation, but also united the hearts of Chinese people around the world, in the face of this earthquake, Chinese showed the demeanor of a big country, and countless positive news was concerned by the world at this moment.
Since the earthquake, Chamberlain and Li Qun have been paying close attention to the news, and he even missed the team's training match for the first time, and contacted the Chinese team in San Francisco to do his best, and the news released by important media in various countries is the focus of their attention:

San Francisco has the highest concentration of Chinese in the United States, and the city even has its own name called 'San Francisco' because of the name of the Chinese. Chamberlain is now the pride of the Chinese in San Francisco, so in the first moment after the earthquake occurred, many Chinese people looked at him.
At midnight, Chamberlain, with the help of the Warriors, convened an emergency press conference, in which he promised: "I'm going to Chengdu this summer, I'm going to go there for Basketball Without Borders events, I'm definitely going to go!" ”
Chamberlain donated $1 million to the cause of education for the reconstruction of Wenchuan disaster for the first time, he now has a lot of contracts, in fact, he does not have much money, most of the advertising contracts have not been fulfilled, at this time, for him, $1 million is already the maximum amount of cash he can use.
But for a world-famous supersports star, the $1 million donation was clearly not commensurate with his worth, so the next day, Champion's CEO Sonny Vacarro announced that the brand would donate $5 million to Wenchuan in the name of Chamberlain.
Vaccaro's attitude towards money is almost stingy, and his ability to come up with five million has shocked Chamberlain beyond belief, but unlike the latter, who is purely for the sake of Wenchuan, Vacalo saw business opportunities from this disaster, about opening up the Chinese market.
On May 13, Vacarro and Chamberlain held another press conference, at which he first promised to donate 5 million US dollars to Wenchuan, which will be used to raise orphans after the disaster, property subsidies for single-parent families, and the construction of medical conditions. In addition, he announced in a high-profile manner that for every product sold under the champion brand in Chinese mainland, whether it is sneakers or sportswear, the company will take out between $5 and $20 for donation.
Chamberlain attended several prayer meetings and donation meetings organized by Chinese organizations in San Francisco in the past two days, and he was so busy that he flew to San Antonio until the fifth game against the Spurs on May 15.
In San Antonio, Chamberlain can finally take a little rest, and the old Nelson can't blame him, because now Chamberlain is Chinese, and China has suffered such a terrible disaster, for Chamberlain, disaster resistance is more important than the playoffs.
The elder Nelson has a deep understanding of China's national conditions and culture, thanks to the fact that Wang Zhizhi was banned by the Chinese men's basketball team. Originally, after the old Nelson selected Wang Zhizhi, he planned to give Nowitzki a substitute with the same style, when Nowitzki was not present, he thought that Wang Zhizhi, who had the same style and only slightly inferior ability, could take on this responsibility, but unfortunately, in the end, due to political reasons, his plans all collapsed, which made him sigh when he recalled it now.
Old Nelson didn't want to fall twice in the same place, and his attention to Chamberlain was not something that Wang Zhizhi could compare, thinking that Wang Zhizhi was just late for the opportunity to serve the country, and was blocked by China, and now Chamberlain is facing a much more severe situation than that, because this time is a disaster of the century that the whole country is paying attention to!
After Chamberlain arrived in San Antonio, the elder Nelson arranged for him to go to the hotel to get a good night's sleep, and now Chamberlain is in such bad condition that he has only rested for less than ten hours in the past forty-eight hours, which is a disaster for a playoff player!
Li Qun also worked hard, the two of them found a room in the hotel, and they threw themselves on the big bed, and soon fell into a daze.
For the first time, Chamberlain didn't move his hands and feet when he was lying on the bed with Li Qun in his arms, and both of them were so tired and exhausted!
When she was about to fall asleep, Li Qun suddenly heard Chamberlain call her: "Qun, are you asleep?" ”
Li Qun opened his eyes in a daze and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Chamberlain muttered: "Qun, do you feel that this life is too short......
Hearing this, looking at Chamberlain's blank expression, Li Qun's heart trembled, she felt that Chamberlain at this time was like a little beast that had just experienced wind and rain, her heart was full of fear, and there was nothing to rely on. She was motherly in her heart, so she reached out and hugged Chamberlain's head and comforted: "It's okay, I will always be by your side forever." ”
Chamberlain broke free of Li Qun's arms and said helplessly: "But this quilt is too short, I can't cover my feet, even if you are next to me, you can't keep warm." ”
As soon as Chamberlain said this, the pity in Li Qun's heart was suddenly swept away, and her willow eyebrows slowly rose up, and she asked slowly: "You say the phrase 'this life is too short' in English." ”
Chamberlain didn't realize the change in atmosphere, so he said inexplicably: "This quilt is too short, I can't cover my feet." After speaking, he pushed Li Qun and said, "You call the service desk to change the quilt, I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my fingers......
"Get out, it's cold, sleep!" The tenderness and sweetness in Li Qun's heart disappeared without a trace, leaving only the anger of being fooled.
Chamberlain shrunk his shoulders and honestly shrunk into a ball and began to sleep, he didn't understand why Li Qun was suddenly angry? Women are really strange, could it be that Li Qun is here for the eldest aunt today? He remembered the wrong date.
After being inexplicably angry, Li Qun still helped Chamberlain get a new bedding, so that Chamberlain could finally sleep comfortably.
After a good night's sleep, Chamberlain woke up again in a state of dragon spirit, at this time it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it only took another half an hour for the fifth great war to begin.
There is no doubt that this will be another tough battle!
