The conflict between Chamberlain and Younas was directly put on the surface, and the cause was just an inconsequential criticism, which made the men's basketball team leader Li Yuanwei go crazy, whether it was Younas or Chamberlain, he couldn't lose these two people now!

Younas is the coach of the team, it is already July, and there is only one month before the Olympic Games on August 8, and he knows very well the consequences of changing the commander in the battle, China's 5,000-year history is the history of 5,000 years of battles, and there have been tens of thousands of battles in large and small battles.

And the loss of the first general before the war, that is even more taboo among the taboos!

Who is not clear about Chamberlain's abilities? ESPN once said after learning that he had joined the Chinese men's basketball team: "In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team easily entered the top three in the world, and may even become the biggest enemy of the dream team." Who can deny that? SUPER-Z IS THE KIND OF PLAYER WHO CAN MAKE THE NBA PLAYOFFS EVEN WITH FIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS! ”

Little Nelson notified Li Yuanwei as soon as possible, and the latter didn't care about flirting with the new beautiful college students, so he hurriedly rushed to the training hall, wanting to let the two of them put down this breath first and cooperate well during the Olympic Games.

But he underestimated Younas's temper, although he was more than fifty years old, but once Younas was hot-blooded, he did things more impulsively than young people, and it happened that this day was the men's basketball training interview day, and many reporters were waiting outside the training hall, Younas went out violently and happened to meet these reporters, and then he summoned these reporters and said the words that he had endured for many days:

"I don't know the plans of the Chinese Basketball Association, our team has been training for eight years, preparing for this Olympic Games for eight years, and just half a year before the game started, they actually gave a player to come in, the problem is that this player can not train with me for half a year, but only joined the team two months before the game! That's not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that this player has been training under me for less than two months, and he started to disobey the sun! ”

"If the Basketball Association wants me to go, it doesn't have to be so subtle, they can bring it up directly, in fact, it was a mistake to come to China to coach, I don't have any power here, I can't play the tactics I want to play, I can't get the results of the training I want to play, seriously, if it weren't for the contract, I think I would have resigned after playing the World Championships last year!"

"Now there's only one result, either to replace the new players who have been shoehorned in or to replace me. I know Chamberlain's strength, the problem is that basketball is a five-person sport, and it takes a long time to practice together to be effective, if he wants to participate in the next Olympics, even the next World Championships, then it is okay, I welcome it, but if he wants to play in the Olympics, then I am sorry, I think this is disrespectful to me, because to join a player who is so strong but so strange to me, my tactics are all useless! ”

The reporters were stunned by Younas's words, and then Li Yuanwei, who learned the news, was also stunned by these words, fucking Caesar Nine Questions back then was already awesome, but it was nothing compared to this forced palace, last time Younas didn't give face to the Basketball Association, this time he directly drew the face of the Basketball Association.

Younas's words and his clash with Chamberlain quickly filled every corner of sports news, whether in newspapers, magazines or websites.

Some of the longtime fans are starting to pull back, and like most pundits, they support Younas, as the latter said, basketball is not a heads-up game, the team is king. Now everyone in the men's basketball team except Chamberlain is hand-picked by him, and Chamberlain's addition is like a sudden lion in the wolf pack, on paper, their strength is stronger, but it is difficult to say what it will be like to actually fight.

NBA fans and some experts in the United States stood up to Chamberlain, and even Barkley, who has always been very bad with Chamberlain, said good things about him:

"What does that old man know? Why didn't he say these words again after playing a game with Z? Basketball is indeed a sport of five people, which everyone knows, and the strength of five people is of course stronger than one person, but the problem is that he knows the way but doesn't know the way, and SUPER-Z can top five people alone? I've watched the video of the Chinese men's basketball team, and to be honest, I think I'm playing right now, and I'm playing better than those guys, let alone SUPER-Z! If I were him, then what I'm going to do now is go and tell reporters that I was drunk when I said those words, and now that I'm sober, I regret it, and I'm going to take those words back! ”

But there is a saying in China that it is difficult to recover when it is covered with water, so how can it be taken back if it is said to be gone? Especially what Younas said, there is still a suspicion of forcing the palace!

Originally, Younas also took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he confided in reporters with the determination to fight against the water, his purpose was to force the basketball association to hand over the power, so that he could give full play to his talents. But the problem is that he has been in China for eight years, and his understanding of Chinese culture is still not enough, and he should not always study tactics with a tactical board, but should have more contact with Chinese culture, especially Chinese officialdom culture.

Being forced into the palace by subordinates is the most intolerable thing for the superiors, even if a big war is about to happen.

The Basketball Association urgently convened an internal meeting, chaired by Yu Zaiqing, chairman of the Basketball Association, and the three major advisers of the Basketball Association, Zhang Faqiang, Yang Boyong, and Qian Chenghai also appeared, in addition to Zhang Xiong, director of the national team management department of the basketball management center, Xiao Hongan, director of the development management department, Xu Lan, director of the comprehensive department, Gong Luming, head of the training and scientific research department, and Hao Guohua, director of the league office, attended the meeting together with members of the men's basketball team and four assistant coaches.

After discussing the issue of Younas, Yu Zaiqing directly called Nelson Jr. at the meeting, and said sincerely: "Mr. Nelson, you are our chief assistant coach, and you know the situation of our players well, in addition, you are the best friend of Yao Ming and Chamberlain, there is no one more suitable to be the head coach than you, so from now on, you are the new head coach of our national men's basketball team!" ”

When the translator told Nelson Jr. these words, he almost cried, not excited, in fact, he had long wanted to be the head coach, and he had long been tired of being an assistant coach for more than ten years, the problem was that he didn't want to take over the Chinese men's basketball team at this time. First, he and Younas are friends, and the latter has the grace of knowing him, the main reason is that the game will start next month, and the previous tactics of the men's basketball team are all designed by Younas, and it has nothing to do with him.

He wants to be the head coach because he wants to lead the team to sweep the Eight Wilderness and conquer the world like his father, instead of leading a country's team to lose in front of the world!

Little Nelson had the heart to refuse, but when he turned around and saw that Chamberlain and Yao Ming were staring at him tightly, and everyone in the men's basketball team was staring at him expectantly, he could only grit his teeth and say sadly: "Since the leaders trust me so much, then I will definitely live up to the trust and lead the Chinese men's basketball team to make a historic breakthrough!" ”

Younas was dismissed just a month before the Olympics, which is probably the bleakest moment of the old coach's career. The most embarrassing thing is that in addition to Chamberlain and Yao Ming, the other eleven of the twelve men in the men's basketball team were selected by him, but when he was about to be ousted, no one spoke up for him.

Obviously, although the players usually don't say anything about Younas's criticism, in fact, they all hold their grievances in their hearts, and then at the most important moment, their grievances flare up and give Younas a fatal blow.

This is the sorrow of human nature.

Younas's merits and demerits are not something that can be seen in front of him, but although he has a violent temper and likes to scold people, he never talks nonsense, he thinks that Sun Yue's strength can't play in the NBA, so he angers Sun Yue; He said that Yi Jianlian's style of play was too soft, which made Yi Jianlian resentful of him from then on; He firmly sees Wang Zhizhi as the spiritual leader of the Chinese men's basketball team rather than Yao Ming, which makes the latter uncomfortable.

All in all, he offended everyone, but as time passed, they would find that Younas's words came true, he just had a problem with the way he spoke, and in fact everything he said was the truth: Sun Yue left the game that haunted him after two seasons of wandering in the NBA, because he was not capable enough; Yi Jianlian's style of play is too soft, he can't eat in the NBA at all, and the United States doesn't need a gentleman; Yao Ming, who is relatively strong, is indeed Wang Zhizhi, who was born in the military and has a tenacious fighting spirit, and is more suitable to be the spiritual banner of the Chinese men's basketball team!

Younas's dismissal was inevitable, and in this eventful season, Nelson Jr. took office and became the leading big brother of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Having just taken office, the biggest problem Nelson Jr. faces now is not how to fight out of the group of death, nor how to defeat opponents one by one, but how to condense the divided men's basketball players into a whole. There was Younas Town before, although the players were not convinced by each other and divided into several factions, but they didn't dare to go too far, and now that Nelson Jr. is on stage, these people immediately changed from face and heart to face and heart to face and heart and heart to face and heart and heart to face and heart.

Yao Ming and Liu Wei have been playmates since childhood, and they are the only two Shanghainese, so they naturally have their own faction; Zhu Fangyu, Chen Jianghua, Du Feng, and Wang Shipeng led by Yi Jianlian are all members of the Guangdong team, and they formed the Guangdong Gang; Wang Zhizhi and Li Nan were born in the Bayi Army, and the two of them were taciturn and had their own small circles; In addition, Sun Yue also led the remaining Zhang Qingpeng to play, and the remaining one was Chamberlain.

This incident made little Nelson so sad that he had to call the old man Nelson Sr. overnight and ask the old man who was practicing Curry and Ibaka to help him form the team.

But little Nelson was very lucky, God helped him this time, on July 15, less than a month before the opening of the Olympic Games, the Spanish men's basketball team, which was in the same group as the Chinese men's basketball team, broke out a scandal: the scandal of insulting China!

Before going to China, the Spanish men's basketball team released a set of promotional photos, one of these promotional photos is such a picture, the floor is covered with a Chinese dragon pattern, the Spanish men's basketball players are standing or sitting around the Chinese dragon, they pull the corners of their eyes with both hands to make faces, and everyone stretches out their feet to step on the Chinese dragon's body, full of disdain.

If you don't understand the Chinese culture in the West, this may not be a big deal, but if you do, you will know the seriousness of the problem in the road, the gesture of the Spanish men's basketball player pointing his hands to the corners of his eyes or pulling the corners of his eyes down, making his eyes slit, is a common gesture in the West that is suspected of racial discrimination.

In the West, this gesture means mocking the common looks of Asians (squinting eyes), which is extremely rare in public advertisements and even less so in Asia.

Not only that, but the action of the Spanish men's basketball player stepping on the Chinese dragon with his foot is also very indecent, this kind of action doesn't matter internally, but it is too much to put it internationally, the Chinese dragon is a symbol of the Chinese nation, what is it to be stepped on? You let the Spanish men's basketball team try it with the bald eagle, the symbol of the United States, and let him try it with the Russian totem polar bear!

After the appearance of these posters, it immediately set off an international uproar, and the members of the Chinese men's basketball team, who were originally in a mess, were even more angry after seeing the posters, they rushed to the team as soon as possible and participated in the press conference held by the team.
