Chapter Seventy-Three: The Devil Grouping, the Prosperous Era Unveiled!

"The draft is over, are you going back?"

Encounters are always short-lived, living in the present, everyone is fighting for their own careers, there is no long-term reunion, only when we meet again, the beauty of going to the next level.

Facing Wei Shao and Lefu, it was time for Lin Mu to say goodbye.

But!

Until then...

"Heads-up? Lost the treat to wash the feet. Lin Mu looked at the two of them with a smile, and his words as always, as always, seemed to bring them back to their college days, that beautiful youth, and the fiery years when standing on the court could represent everything.

"Of course! Lao Tzu will not be defeated! ”

Youth does not end, just like Lin Mu when he first met Wei Shao, he is still so domineering, and he is still so full of confidence.

"And me?"

"I'm not coming, anyway, it's going to be my treat." Lefu shrugged his shoulders, I know the routines of these two old Biden.

"Scared?"

"Also, with your basketball level, I really don't know how to get to the fifth pick in the first round." Wei Shao sneered at the right time.

Regarding the draft swap between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, it is definitely impossible to say that Wei Shao has no complaints in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, and Wei Shao can only reluctantly accept it.

At least Memphis is much better than Minnesota, and in that icy place, let Kevin Love suffer there alone!

"Hehe, I don't know why, how can you be in front of Lin Mu..."

The yin and yang weirdness was the most disgusting, Lin Mu could only stare dryly on the side, he didn't dare to say a word, after all, this fourth rank should have belonged to Wei Shao.

"Okay, see the truth under your hands, no matter which team you are in, only if you are strong can you survive!"

The next day, when everything settled, Lin Mu said goodbye to the two and went straight back to the men's basketball training camp in Huaxia.

The time is close to July, and there are only more than 40 days left before the opening of the Chinese Olympic Games, Yao Ming is still actively undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the United States, although the recovery effect has been improved, but if you want to participate in the Olympic Games, I am afraid you will have to pay a very heavy price.

In his previous life, Yao Ming forced a comeback in order to prepare for the Olympics despite the dissuasion of doctors, and the stress fracture of his left ankle was a fatal blow to a center forward with a large weight like Yao Ming.

At the time, the doctor also didn't advise him to play, saying that your injury was enough to ruin your career.

But how could Yao Ming, who has a strong sense of honor, give up so easily?

Yao Ming only said one sentence: I am from Huaxia!

Serving the country with ten thousand deaths, and the temples are no longer green!

The Olympic event that can only be experienced once in his life, Yao Ming doesn't want to miss it, he doesn't want to wait until his temples are frosty, and he regrets it.

It is with this belief that this year's Chinese men's basketball team can break through history and reach the quarterfinals!

With the arrival of Lin Mu, the men's basketball team has become more vigorous, and in more than two months of training, everyone has a different mental outlook, and in the face of Lin Mu's elite-level defense, they are no longer stumbling, but they are at ease!

Training at four o'clock in the morning, high-intensity confrontation day and night, at this time, the Chinese men's basketball team adheres to the hard-working spirit of the older generation, and many national players from military backgrounds are more arduous and diligent than imagined, which is an extremely good quality and a guarantee for the Chinese men's basketball team to reach a higher level.

Otherwise, even if Lin Mu has the heart to lead them to become stronger, without that upward heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

Just like the lonely scene more than ten years later, everyone is in an environment where they do not want to make progress, and it is extremely difficult to give birth to national players such as Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Battle.

Yao?

Lin Mu never thought that it would be quite good for China to give birth to a champion-level NBA player in 20 years!

When Lin Mu arrived at the training camp, a congratulatory statement had already been hung at the gate.

"Congratulations to Lin Mu for being selected as the No. 4 pick in the first round of the NBA in 2008!"

Every player stood at the gate and expressed their most sincere congratulations to the returning youngster!

"Xiao Mu, congratulations!" Wang Zhizhi greeted him with a smile, and he was very happy about Lin Mu's election.

"Good boy, the silent one is more courageous than the United Arab Emirates, tonight is a full two glasses, and you are not allowed to leave if you can't finish drinking!" The boxing champion Zhu Ba directly hugged Lin Mu's neck, touched the latter's hair, and said a little dotingly.

After two months of heads-up destruction, Zhu Fangyu's whole person was thick, and his eyes were shining, like a horn to lead the charge, which was daunting!

Congratulations one after another, Lin Mu saw the blessings from the bottom of his heart from these people.

Even the shy boy UAE smiled and laughed with Lin Mu, not at all like in the NBA, lifeless, and had little communication with the coach and teammates.

Feel at home!

Lin Mu finally knew the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to rise in 2008.

It was something I didn't feel in the NBA, and it was a completely different atmosphere from the UCLA Bruins.

The smile in the heart of the UAE in the training camp also made Lin Mu understand why when these seniors retreated, why the UAE was able to grow from that young boy to the absolute first brother of the Chinese men's basketball team, the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team for many years.

That is the spirit that has been inherited, that is the regret of feeling the beauty and wanting to continue to keep, even if there is only one person left in the audience, you must persevere to the end and lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the end!

Things do not turn out the way you want?

Lin Mu suddenly laughed, what the hell is reborn, perhaps, it is for this moment!

In the next month, the Chinese men's basketball team has played different levels of confrontation with different teams under the established schedule, although the two sides are just adhering to the idea of training, but there are still gains, men's basketball head coach Younas also said to the outside world that this year's Chinese men's basketball team will show a new look, please wait and see!

But the next Olympic grouping has made all Chinese people worried!

July 21st, early morning!

The German team defeated the Puerto Rico team in the Olympic qualifying round to get the last ticket to the Olympic Games, and in the subsequent Olympic men's basketball group draw, the opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team were also all produced!

Olympic Group Results:

Group A: Argentina, Australia, Croatia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia

Group B: Angola, China, Germany, Greece, Spain, United States

Germany and Greece were divided into Group B where the Chinese men's basketball team is located, plus the United States and Spain, the two super teams, the cruel reality of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group of death cannot be avoided.

Before the Olympic qualifying tournament, the Chinese men's basketball team has confirmed that the group opponents are the United States, Spain and Angola, and the other two opponents are the teams that have qualified for the Olympic Games in the Olympic men's basketball qualifying tournament.

As we all know, in Group B, the U.S. team is the top, and their lineup was also revealed by the media on July 10, with a luxurious all-star combination, all four banana boat brothers on the list, and super stars such as Kobe, Kidd, and Howard.

In addition, Spain and Greece are also the world's top teams, they have the deepest European basketball heritage, Spain's Gasol brothers, Greece's national soldiers, the Chinese team wants to defeat these two teams, there is hope, but the hope is not as big as imagined.

Finally, Germany and Angola are not weak teams, after the center Chris Carman, who now plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, joined the German team, the overall strength of this team has been significantly improved, coupled with the original team core Dirk Nowitzki, although the German squad as a whole is not strong, it will be a tough battle!

Only Angola, in the Si Cup that just ended, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the latter, Lin Mu played an extremely bright performance, and the rest of the people also played well, and finally won by a big advantage.

But this does not mean that we can take it lightly, whether Angola is clumsy, whether Chinese players can play well in the Olympic Games, all of this is still unknown!

In the results of the draw, Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the basketball management center in charge of national team affairs, said that the German team and the Greek team were divided into the group of the Chinese men's basketball team, which was the worst result expected.

He said: "As some journalist friends said, the Chinese team suffered a 'signing' this time. ”

In the face of the "signing", Hu Jiashi spoke in an official manner: "The Chinese Olympic Games will happen once in a century, and the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely do its best to play well in the Olympic Games, and the goal of the Chinese Olympic Games to protect eight and fight for six will not change because of the draw." ”

And when the national players learned the news, they looked unusually calm, "We also thought of this kind of grouping situation before, in fact, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, the key is to defeat yourself." ”

Zhu Fangyu was even more blunt: "We are not soft persimmons, no matter who the opponent is, if you want to defeat us, you have to fall off a layer of skin!" ”

Yao Ming, who is actively recovering in the United States, did not express any opinions, citing the basketball association's hug order as an excuse for not expressing his opinion on the grouping situation.

To sum up, after carefully analyzing the grouping of the men's basketball team, a group of expert media also gave detailed comments.

"There is no need for the Chinese men's basketball team to be arrogant, what about those so-called signings? In my opinion, Huaxia has caught up with good luck, compared to Group B, the comprehensive strength of Group A is stronger, and it will be more difficult for the men's basketball team to break through the encirclement! ”

"Don't be cowardly, just do it! All Chinese fans will support the national team, and all of us will fight with them at the forefront! ”

"Life and death are downbeat, if you don't accept it, you will do it! The United States team and the Spanish team are more famous, I believe in the national players, I believe in the boys of the men's basketball team, they will create miracles and create more brilliance for the history of the Chinese men's basketball team! ”

No matter what the result is, no matter what the draw is, at least in this land of China, no one will belittle the outstanding contribution made by the Chinese men's basketball team to us!

Fight the blood, play the arrogance of the Chinese people!

Don't be afraid of being strong, dare to show the spirit of the bright sword!

United, even Lin Mu didn't expect that when the results of the group were announced, instead of being frustrated, the fans of Huaxia were more enthusiastic and more supportive of everything about the Huaxia men's basketball team!

In his previous life, Lin Mu didn't feel such an atmosphere, but when he was there, when he became a part of it, he suddenly found out.

It turns out that at any time, there is a group of lovely flower planting families around you!

Going around and around, when Yao Ming "returned from injury", when the Chinese Olympics were in full swing for publicity, when the whole land of China reverberated in a hot atmosphere!

On August 8, 2008, under the witness of tens of thousands of people in the Bird's Nest and hundreds of millions of people in China!

A carnival of the people of the world, a prosperous era of the people of the world!

The Chinese Olympics have begun!
