Chapter 309: Fame (3)

If the reason why this happened is because the dream team started to be inferior and the world basketball world lacks understanding of the current Chinese men's basketball team, then what is it to defeat the Spanish team, the No. 2 men's basketball seed in this Olympic Games?

Many people in the international basketball world thought that the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team was their extraordinary performance, but after defeating the Spanish men's basketball team, the number one team in Europe, no one dared to say that anymore, and everyone who questioned the Chinese men's basketball team shut up.

"Dragon Team, the Chinese men's basketball team deserves this name!" This is the opening sentence of the documentary produced urgently by CCTV after the Chinese team won the Spanish men's basketball team.

Not only CCTV, many media have focused on this new Chinese men's basketball team, advocating the tough guy style of the Russian Reuters reported on the game, but the protagonist is not the highest scoring Yao Ming nor the best performance of Chamberlain, but Liu Wei, the cover photo is Liu Wei with bloody cheeks proudly looking at the Spanish opponent.

"If you talk about how strong the Chinese men's basketball team is, then our fans will definitely disagree, because they suffered a defeat against our CSKA Moscow last year. But why have they changed so much just a year later? I think it has to do with their attitude, look at the attitude of their players, they are real warriors, a group of fighters fighting on the field, and our team, the descendants of the great Soviet Red Army, is losing this spirit that their ancestors have preserved for hundreds of years! ”

After all, there are a few people who pay attention to Liu Wei, and more people are still more interested in Chamberlain, following the first god-level play, this game Chamberlain once again scored a triple-double: 14 points, 17 rebounds, 12 blocks, and he only played for 36 minutes, but there was one more block than the last game!

Speaking of which, Rubio has something to say, because he alone contributed four blocks to Chamberlain, this kid just didn't believe in evil at that time, and he went up to charge hard, of course, in Chamberlain's view, it was a force to find death.

If you dare to die, I dare not bury it? Joke! That's what Chamberlain had in mind.

After the Olympics, Chamberlain's international reputation has become more and more famous, and he was previously considered the next helmsman of the Chinese men's basketball team after Yao Ming, but now, after two consecutive triple-doubles, he has been recognized as the leading big brother of the active Chinese men's basketball team, although he is the second youngest on the court: Chen Jianghua is younger than him.

Time Magazine, as one of the most influential media in the world, gave Chamberlain a page report, and the article was full of praise for him, saying:

"There is no doubt that this young Chinese man who is not yet 20 years old is a genius. Maybe he shouldn't be called a genius, not because the word 'genius' is too high-profile and easy to stimulate adrenaline, but because 'genius' is still a little cold to use on him, just as rude to use only 'beautiful' to describe Marilyn Monroe, 'good' to describe Elvis, and 'great' to describe Washington, but you will be hard-pressed to find more eye-catching and advanced words.

Bill Russell was unknown when he was less than twenty years old, and no one had dug yet, but look at how many honors he carries on his back now? What does this mean? Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, and Olajuwon, who were not yet twenty years old, were still in college with books on their minds.

Chamberlain, who is less than twenty years old, is already a warrior, a brave warrior, and unlike his predecessors, his reputation has spread to the whole world, if you have a big enough strategic vision, you must make a long-term investment in him, he will be the best basketball player in the world in the future. This future will not be too long.

'Genius' SUPER-Z? Until there is no more appropriate word, we can only call him that for the time being. ”

NBA's official media "NBA Dunk" magazine specially launched a special issue for Chamberlain, which recorded the evaluation of NBA stars, head coaches and some expert reporters, of course, more of his past season, this magazine has entered the hot list of sports magazines after its launch, and the Asia-Pacific region strongly demanded the publication of a Chinese version, this scene made Stern overjoyed, he personally promised in an interview that the Chinese version of "NBA Dunk" is working overtime, And this issue of the Chinese translation of the magazine is called "Z Miracle".

The author of the magazine's foreword to everyone's surprise was Eddie Gottlieb, Winnie's father and godfather of the Warriors, who simply wrote:

"Somebody used to ask me what kind of guy Chamberlain was, and I said he was a big guy, a great big guy. But how good is he? It's a super hard question to answer, a million-dollar question, and that's just before, and now it's not just a million, it's a million!

Ever since I first watched SUPER-Z play at Oracle Arena, this question has been haunting my mind and constantly pressing on my nerves. How to describe him? He dunks like Sean Kemp under the basket, with great bounce, full of power, and very destructive under the basket; He grabs rebounds like Rodman, desperate, crazy, brave, with the character of a jackal, always looking for opportunities, but always staring at the top; His emotions are very similar to my little friend Thurmond, so passionate, never admit defeat, the stronger the enemy, the more he can provoke his bright sword****; His defense is hard to describe, because there is no template in the history of the NBA, and no one can do it as well as him!

There's something mysterious about this kid who can bring out 200 percent of the energy of the people around him, and we call that 'the power of a leader,' and there have been people like that in the NBA before, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Evan Johnson, Michael Jordan......

Some people might think I'm joking, because we're talking about a little over nineteen, not the top 50 superstars who have retired. But think about it, this is SUPER-Z Chamberlain, the best young guy in the world, you saw it with your own eyes! ”

Chamberlain is on fire, the Chinese men's basketball team is also on fire, in fact, now they are the focus of basketball fans in the world, the media pay attention to their more professional side, ordinary fans are discussing other things, for example, the combat effectiveness of fighting.

In the game between the Spanish men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team, there were several situations where the two sides wanted to make a move, but the result was because the former was cowardly, which made some fans who advocate violence a little regretful, the reason for this is because at the post-game press conference, a reporter found these problems, and asked Chamberlain, saying: "Mr. Z, if your opponent waved his fist at you at that time, would you fight back?" ”

Chamberlain nodded affirmatively and said, "We don't want to fight, especially in such a place that symbolizes peace, but we won't fight back or scold back!" My most respected grandfather and grandfather warned me from a young age that children who fight are not good children, but how many times did I fight when I was a child? And later, my elders didn't accuse me, do you know what the Tao is for? Because fights are divided into scenes. ”

After taking a sip of water, Chamberlain's expression became serious: "When I was a child, I fought because the white children and black children in Chinatown always bullied us yellow children, I was never afraid of them, just fight, who doesn't carry a head on two shoulders?" My grandfather told me that there was a great man in China who said that 'the dignity of a great country is fought out, not beaten out'! We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it! Besides, when I was in the NBA, our coach Nelson Sr. said that the whole team has to fight and this is a reflection of the fighting spirit of the whole team. ”

The reporters' eyes lit up, and the long guns and short guns crackled and slapped non-stop, and Chamberlain realized that it was not quite right to say so on this occasion, so he hastened to add: "All in all, it is not right to fight, as long as the opponent does not have such thoughts, I swear to my deceased grandfather, I will not take the initiative to fight." ”

Chamberlain's words sparked a heated discussion among fans in private, that is, should the Chinese men's basketball team do it on the international stage? What about hands-on combat effectiveness? There are 12 Chinese men's basketball players, how much has the level of individual combat reached?

It is true that fighting is not a good thing, no matter which sports team is the leader, after hearing about the fight, they will be extremely angry, the Chinese nation is a humble nation, things can be solved without fists, without fists, after all, we are all advocating sports competitions friendship first.

But from another point of view, competitive sports itself is a sport of the jungle, if you are soft, he will be hard, if you are hard, he will be soft, and the more timid you are, the more some bastards will ride on your neck and shit. This is the same as the principle of how we usually behave and do things in society, and it is not a mistake to be kind to others, but "not fighting back, scolding and not returning the mouth" can only show that the leader is inferior from the bones.

There is nothing wrong with friendship first, but since the purpose of our sports is to win glory for the country, when dealing with similar problems, our weakness can only be a shame for the nation. So the fight itself is not wrong, the key is to see what kind of fight is fought, under what circumstances, Chamberlain's words at the press conference "We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of things" and "The dignity of a great power is fought, not fought" inspired the fans.

Fans discuss these issues, not because they are brave or want to see the excitement, but because many people understand that if a team has no blood, no self-esteem, no pride to rage, and no bloodiness to dare to fight to defend their dignity, how can you expect such a team to win the game?

The report about the Chinese football team going to Europe to participate in a game in the 90s and the result of the fight that later led to it was turned over by the omnipotent fans, and not many people paid attention to that game, but in that newspaper, the person who commented on this matter had to be mentioned, because he was another great man of New China, the chief architect of reform and opening up, an old man who has passed away but will always be remembered by the sons and daughters of China.

The interview took place in Europe, which was the last time the old man visited Europe, and a reporter threw out this sharp question, originally wanting to see the ugliness of the Chinese, but this old gentleman who was about to perish gave an answer in front of the media that only a nation with a backbone dares to make:

"It's wrong to fight, just like in the international arena, we always advocate peaceful coexistence, we build a peaceful world, we oppose violence and war, but if peace can really be achieved so easily, what are we and you Europe doing with millions of troops? If any form of fight is wrong, we'll just raise a bunch of kittens to play the game.

Is our country a peace-loving country? For many years, we have been good neighbors, but when our national dignity was violated, the Chinese People's Liberation Army never relented. Whether it's the Americans, the Soviets, the Indians, or the Vietnamese, you have to clean up when it's time to clean up! From Zhenbao Island to Friendship Pass, when have Chinese soldiers ever been afraid of the enemy's obscenity?

Our country once clearly told the Japanese that the Chinese are not easy to bully and that Sino-Japanese friendship cannot be at the cost of losing the dignity and interests of the Chinese nation. In the same way, on the court this time, the so-called "friendship first" cannot be at the expense of the Chinese team as the third grandson! When we are provoked and violated by our opponents, resolute counterattack is the only choice, even if we issue a ticket afterwards, apologize, even if we lose the fight after the worst fight, the backbone of the Chinese can never be humiliated. ”
