In their opinion, going out for the country, no matter what game you play, you have to win, the purpose is to win, and any game must be played as the Olympic Finals.

But Nelson Jr. doesn't think so, and that's a clash of ideas.

In Nelson Jr.'s view, this is a training match, this is a warm-up game, the purpose is to check and fill in the gaps, as for the victory or defeat, what is it?

The basketball association officials were under huge pressure at home, and on the night of the Dragons' loss to Puerto Rico, they called and ordered Nelson Jr. to win the next game and must give an explanation to the domestic fans.

Nelson Jr. was so impressed by this order that he yelled on the phone: "I'm the head coach and I'll be responsible for this team!" If you don't think I deserve to be a manager, then replace me, but as long as I'm on either side, then the strategy and tactics of the team are up to me! ”

It was the first time that the official master of the basketball association was yelled at by the head coach, and they were angry, but they really wanted to remove Nelson Jr.

There are also a number of so-called basketball veterans waiting to pick the fruits in China, and they all know that as long as there are the three main forces of Chamberlain, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the current Dragon team can make some historic breakthroughs with a dozen fights.

You must know that the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships before was eighth!

However, behind Little Nelson stood the great god Chamberlain, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were also squatting in a ditch with Chamberlain, so this matter was finally settled.

Chamberlain is not an athlete trained by the Basketball Association like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, he is completely self-reliant, if the Basketball Association oppresses too hard, he will quit the men's basketball team at any time, and that is the scene that the Basketball Association is most afraid of seeing.

If Chamberlain did it more ruthlessly and directly withdrew his Chinese citizenship and went to the United States, it would be a political mistake by the leaders of the Basketball Association.

In 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team had even worse results in Europe, losing twice to Germany, Poland, Serbia and Latvia, ending the European training with five consecutive defeats.

It was even worse in 2006, when China's worst defeat was by 33 points, and the second game against Germany was a 25-point loss.

Although there have not been many victories so far, the players can feel the change in the team.

Just like the American media say, tougher, more united, more courageous!

So when the Basketball Association put pressure on Nelson Jr., they all silently chose to stand behind Nelson Jr. and not express their position, but they will never fall into the ground.

This shocked the leaders of the Basketball Association, who thought that after the Jin Lipeng incident, Nelson Jr. had a bad relationship with the players.

What the leaders of the basketball association have not figured out is that the game of basketball is a very simple thing, not as complicated and dirty as politics.

Yes, the players had a lot of complaints about Nelson Jr., but when they found out that this seemingly eccentric man could indeed lead them to a higher podium, they were convinced.

After playing a warm-up game against Puerto Rico in the United States, the somewhat tired men's basketball players are back on the plane, this time flying to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, for their final two games against Serbia.

The Serbian men's basketball team has always been a strong team in the world, their predecessor was the Yugoslav men's basketball team, and this team was once known as the Lions that could wrestle with the Dream Team!

Before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, their men's basketball strength was not much worse than that of the American men's basketball team, and the main force of the men's basketball team in the former Soviet Union at that time was the men's basketball players of Yugoslavia.

Even if you don't count the glory won by the main force of the Soviet men's basketball team, the honors achieved by the Yugoslav men's basketball team themselves are prestigious:

They competed in the World Men's Basketball Championship 13 times and won five times in 1970, 1978, 1990, 1998 and 2002, finishing runner-up twice in 1963 and 1967 and finishing third twice in 1982 and 1986.

He has participated in the European Men's Basketball Championship 28 times, and won the championship eight times in 1973, 1975, 1977, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997 and 2001, and was runner-up five times in 1961, 1965, 1971, 1981 and 2009, and third place three times in 1963, 1987 and 1999.

He also competed 11 times in men's basketball at the Olympic Games, winning gold in the men's basketball competition at the Moscow Olympics in 1980, silver medals four times in 1968, 1976, 1988 and 1996, and bronze at Los Angeles 1984.

Despite Serbia's separation from Serbia and Montenegro, the team is still strong, with players such as Milicic, Ilic, Stojakovic and Rademanovic still playing in the NBA.

However, in recent years, the Serbian men's basketball team has begun to decline.

In 2002, Indianapolis became the last glory of the Serbian men's basketball team, the team was star-studded but infighting, and in the 2005 European Championships, the players even fought in the locker room, which became a laughing stock for a while.

As a result of the continuous internal friction, many famous players have chosen to withdraw from the national team in frustration, including Stojakovic and Radmanovic have now announced that they will no longer play for the country.

As a result, the Serbian men's basketball team was not even in the top eight at the 2005 European Championships, and they finished seventh at the 2006 World Championships.

Fortunately, the Serbian and Montenegro Basketball Association is not a layman like the Chinese Basketball Association, and their leadership saw that the internal contradictions of the team were so serious, and decisively abandoned the older generation of stars and replaced them with a large number of new generation stars.

Therefore, the current Serbian men's basketball team has a lot of unknown players, and the vast majority of them are young players.

But the foundation of Serbia and Montenegro is there, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and many European media still say: Although the Serbian men's basketball team still needs to be improved in terms of player cooperation and on-court experience, they are indeed a strong team.

Like the Chinese men's basketball team, the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team also entered the World Championships, which is a matter of course for them, but the Chinese men's basketball team is in Group B, while the Serbian and Montenegro men's basketball team is in Group A.

Also like the Chinese men's basketball team, qualifying from the group can only be regarded as the minimum standard for the runner-up of the new European Championships, and the competition in Group A is much more relaxed than in Group B.

Of course, the Serbian team also has their own seven-inch tournament experience.

At Euro 2009, Serbia comfortably beat Spain in their opening game, but when they met again in the final, the young Serbian team was completely toyed with applause by the experienced Spanish side, and this is exactly what Serbia needs to solve right now.

Therefore, this time the Chinese team's overseas training, what we really need to pay attention to is Serbia, because the purpose of both is the same, to check and fill in the gaps, and after consultation between the two sides, it was decided to play two games, one warm-up and one teaching.

On August 25, at the Akuku Arena in Belgrade, two young and ambitious teams met.

Both sides regard their opponents as whetstones, and they are also stepping stones in the future, so there is no need for any politeness, and once you set foot in the stadium, you will start to fight.

This time, Nelson Jr. asked Chamberlain to give it his all.

After losing two games in a row before, although Nelson Jr. didn't care, his face was still a little unbearable, he wanted to prove to everyone that it wasn't that they couldn't win before, but it wasn't that they didn't have to win so they didn't care.

After the start of the first quarter, Chamberlain, who was like a tiger, first broke through the basket to make two fouls, and then Serbia scored three points from the outside, but then, Chamberlain counterattacked and also came to a basket 2+1.

After that, Serbia cut inside to the basket and prepared to shoot, Chamberlain gave him a big hat, the Dragon II team fought back, and Yi Jianlian hit a three-pointer on the left side to help the team take an 8-3 lead.

Chamberlain was high-spirited, and once again hit the opponent with his back to cause a foul, after two free throws and two hits, Serbia made an offensive mistake by itself, and the second team of the dragon seized the time to counterattack, Yi Jianlian missed the jumper, and Chamberlain made a basket.

Under the leadership of Chamberlain, the Dragon II team became murderous again, and after four minutes of play in the first quarter, they stopped the opponent 14-5.

After the pause returned, Serbia hit consecutive free throws, and the outside line also found a feeling, while the Chinese outside line made consecutive mistakes under the pressure of the opponent, there is no doubt that the opponent has found the weakness of the Dragon team, that is, the outside line is not effective.

Serbia quickly played a wave of 11-5 to close the score, and this time it was Nelson's turn to frown, so he had to call a timeout and arrange for Guo Allen, who has better ball control skills and more physical intelligence, to take the lead in control.

As a result, although Guo Allen can rush through the half court with the ball, his passing awareness is far worse than Liu Wei, Chamberlain is already stuck in the basket to ask for the ball, he doesn't look at it, he plunges into the basket and throws it with his hand.

The basketball hit the iron and popped up, and Serbia's interior line swarmed in, Chamberlain screamed, rose up to win the rebound, and pulled the onion on dry land, and won the dunk.

After that, Yao Ming also came off the bench, Chamberlain moved to the position of power forward, and the Chinese team began to firmly execute positional battles, hitting consecutive baskets.

At the end of the first quarter, China took a 30-22 lead over Serbia with the help of the strong strength of the inside line.

In the second quarter of the game, as soon as he got on the court, Chamberlain blocked Milicic's shot, the second team of the Dragons advanced slowly, Chamberlain attracted the bag on the inside, and then distributed the ball out of the line and gave it to Wang Shipeng outside the three-point line.

Wang Shipeng is known as the demon knife of the dragon team, and he pulled up and hit three points!

After that, Yao Ming dunked and completely opened the score to 13 points.

After that, Yi Jianlian was replaced by Zhu Fangyu for too many fouls, and the Chinese team began to implement a thorough two-tower tactic.

Taking advantage of this pause, Serbia made adjustments, after all, they are a world-class team, and they quickly made a tactical change, with excellent passing and cutting with continuous attacks.

The transfer of the Chinese team's outside ball is always a problem, and it is easy to mess up when encountering tight pressing, but fortunately, the Chinese team maintained a relatively large advantage before, and at the end of the first half, the Chinese team still led by a double-digit score of 45-35.

At the start of the second half, Serbia failed to make a strong basket, and Chamberlain responded with a basket in response, but soon the opponent scored on the three-point line.

Zhou Peng hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and then after Chamberlain blocked, the Chinese team launched a counterattack, and the three-point shot missed Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and scored a second offensive score, so far his personal score reached 20 points.

Serbia were unsuccessful in defending Oxlade-Chamberlain, and at one point they sent out a three-man pack, but Chamberlain was trained to score easily from the outside with every burst of action.

In this way, Chamberlain's superstar effect showed that Serbia was miserable, while the Chinese men's basketball team was in full swing and controlled the rhythm like a bamboo.

In the fourth quarter, Serbia scored 4 points in a row with a breakthrough, Chamberlain was replaced, and Su Wei partnered with Wang Zhizhi to play inside.

In an attack, Su Wei grabbed a rebound in the front court and caused the opponent to foul, hitting both free throws, but the opponent quickly responded with a ball, and in the fast break, Serbia sent a wonderful offensive combination with a crotch pass and a one-handed dunk.

Wang Shipeng missed three points, Su Wei and the opponent put their arms together when they were scrambling for rebounds under the basket, and both sides moved very much.

Serbia felt very good in the fourth quarter, and hit consecutive shots from the outside, but no matter how good the hand felt at this time, it was only a return to the light, Chamberlain and Yao Ming determined the victory in the first three quarters, and finally Serbia failed to bury the hole they dug in the first three quarters.

At the end of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team finally got back a victory, 88-75, and they beat Serbia by 13 points, which has set a record for the victory difference between the two sides!
