I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 721 Come on together!

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's national team retirement battle led the Chinese men's basketball team to complete the great cause of seven consecutive international competitions, thus receiving extremely great courtesy and honor in the UK.

After the game, even the Western media, which is full of prejudice against China, was full of praise for Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's great contribution and influence on basketball, FIBA, and the NBA in the past ten years.

And when Chen Xiao and Yao Ming returned to China with great glory, they naturally became even more prosperous. The level of reception they received after returning to China was unimaginable.

On the night they returned to China, the two of them and all the players of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team were received by the top leaders, a few days earlier than other Olympic athletes.

This is an individual interview, not a collective interview with hundreds of people.

At the same time, the top leaders also kindly requested Chen Xiao and Yao Ming to give them signed jerseys of the Chinese team.

On the second day of the interview, the People's Daily once again talked about the spirit of the men's basketball team on its front page.

The title is: "In the new era, we should vigorously promote the spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team - On the role of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in shaping the spirit of the men's basketball team in promoting the spiritual pedigree of the new era."

This report begins by recalling that in the 2002 World Championships, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming led the Chinese team to the runner-up place in the World Championships for the first time with their tenacious spirit and strong strength, thus making the People's Daily propose the men's basketball team for the first time. Spirit, it has been ten years now. During these ten years, other Chinese men's basketball players, guided by the men's basketball spirit created by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, dared to fight hard, worked hard, and won seven consecutive World Series championships. Established an unprecedented seven consecutive championships and double Grand Slams in the history of men's basketball.

This report later stated that the spirit of the men’s basketball team represents the spirit of China in an era. From being lagging behind and being beaten at the beginning, to finally standing on top of the world, the spirit of the men’s basketball team shouted to the world that the spirit of the men’s basketball team is the strongest in the era of fighting for the rise of China. sound.

Whether it is sports or other fields, everyone should learn from the spirit of men's basketball, which is a spiritual quality of growing from weak to strong and constantly surpassing oneself. As long as those who adhere to the spirit of men's basketball dare to fight and are good at fighting, they can clear the way across mountains and build bridges across rivers. , have the courage to overcome all risks and challenges; learn the heroic spirit of the men's basketball team that the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more forward it is, learn the high-spirited fighting spirit of the men's basketball team that dares to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky, work hard and overcome difficulties, you will definitely be able to strive to create a worthy future Achievements worthy of the party, the people, and the times.

Finally, this report also stated that the spirit of the men’s basketball team is not only an important part of realizing the Chinese Dream, but also can gather strong spiritual power for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and help achieve the second centenary goal and realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Contribute more.

This report by the People's Daily praised Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the Chinese men's basketball team so highly that Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team were shocked.

What’s even more shocking is that I heard that this report was completed under the personal guidance of the second largest leader.

This specification is truly groundbreaking.

However, as long as you think about the high courtesy that Chen Xiao and Yao Ming receive abroad, you can actually guess that the courtesy they will receive when they return to China can only be even higher.

Therefore, although such specifications are shocking, it actually does not come as a big surprise.

Everyone even thinks this is what it should be.

Of course, after returning to China, although Chen Xiao and Yao Ming enjoyed incredibly high-profile pursuits, there is no doubt that this is the highest peak of the Chinese men's basketball team, and perhaps the beginning of their decline.

After the Olympics, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming announced their retirement from the national team. At the same time, the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, Faye Wong, announced her resignation as the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team. At the same time, at a press conference, Faye Wong recommended Chen Xiao to become the Chinese Men's Basketball Team coach. Basketball head coach.

What Director Faye Wong said at the press conference was actually in line with Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao was actually very moved.

His system is actually very suitable for promoting basketball and being the head coach of a basketball team.

Since he can be the head coach of the Korean and Japanese idol teams, he can naturally be the head coach of the national team.

Moreover, now that he has left the Bobcats, he does not need to worry about Jordan's thoughts. Of course, Jordan hopes that Chen Xiao will only play basketball and do nothing else.

After all, if Chen Xiao is good at other things, his position as the number one basketball player will be even more in danger.

He has actually given up on being the number one player. Boss Qiao now wants to be the number one overall player in basketball.

After Faye Wong's recommendation at the press conference, the Chinese Basketball Association immediately announced the hiring of Chen Xiao as the new head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.

For a time, the somewhat melancholy atmosphere within the Chinese men's basketball team was swept away.

Moreover, Chen Xiao has actually been the actual assistant coach of the Chinese team over the years. The training of the Chinese team players in the national team is all guided by Chen Xiao.

Their ability to make such great progress over the years is inseparable from the support of Chen Xiao's countless experience cards.

So they fully support Chen Xiao's return.

Of course, after Chen Xiao retired as a player, he returned to the Chinese team as the head coach. This was indeed something that shocked and curious the whole world. For a while, the news that Chen Xiao became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team once again swept the basketball world.

On the other side, with the failure of the U.S. team led by Coach K in London, the U.S. Basketball Team also announced that Kobe Bryant, the leader of the team, would permanently retire from the national team.

At the same time, the team's head coach, Coach K, will resign from all positions in the US team and will never accept another call-up to the US team.

At the same time, the American Basketball Association announced the hiring of Popovich, the assistant coach of the US team, as the head coach, and the hiring of Bobcats head coach Michael Jordan as the head coach.

Anyone who understands the succession of head coaches of the U.S. team knows that if you want to become the head coach of the U.S. team, being an assistant coach of the U.S. team first is the shortcut.

Coach K and Wilkens, the assistant coaches of the Dream Team, later became the head coaches of the US team.

Pop also served as Larry Brown's assistant coach before.

Therefore, the arrangement of the American Basketball Association is obviously to allow Jordan to take over from Bobo in the future.

After the Olympics, Chen Xiao stayed in China for vacation throughout August without any activities. He basically stayed in the village to visit relatives and friends.

After August ended, Chen Xiao needed to work in September.

Although he has withdrawn from FIBA ​​competition as a player, his cooperation with FIBA ​​has not ended. When he retired as a player, FIBA ​​gave him such great courtesy. It would be really unjustifiable if he did not reciprocate.

Therefore, Chen Xiao spent the entire month of September in Japan and South Korea. Promoting basketball in these two countries for FIBA ​​always made him exhausted.

Every time he left Japan and South Korea for the United States, people around Chen Xiao felt how powerful the pink skeletons were.

In early October, Chen Xiao returned to the United States and came to California with Xiao Chen.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Xiaochen came by special plane. As soon as they got off the plane, they received a crazy welcome.

As the number one star in the NBA, and even the number one star in the world of professional sports, Chen Xiao's arrival is indeed a huge benefit to basketball and sports fans in California.

On the Internet, expectations for Chen Xiao's upcoming visit to California have reached a fever pitch.

At the same time, the players of the Golden State Warriors were excited and a little nervous about Chen Xiao's upcoming arrival.

Before Chen Xiao returned to the United States, the Golden State Warriors had begun pre-season training under the leadership of head coach Steve Kerr.

Therefore, the important players of the Warriors this season, Big Eyebrow, Beal, Livingston, Ibaka, Lopez, Matt Barnes, Goran Dragic, Klay Thompson, Novak and others are also I have long been looking forward to meeting Chen Xiao soon.

In fact, during this year's Olympics, Chen Xiaohe met with the thick eyebrow brother of the US team and Ibaka of the Spanish team. After all, everyone was in the same Olympic village, and the exchange between Chen Xiaohe and the two was quite lively. .

As for Novak, Matt Barnes, Livingston, and Lopez, these are either Chen Xiao's juniors or old teammates, and everyone is already familiar with them.

Now the Warriors only have three important players that Chen Xiao is not very familiar with, including Klay Thompson, Bill and Dragic.

The Warriors currently have a total of 12 players on the team. In addition to these nine important players, Chen Xiao, the other two players are rookies on the edge of the team. The 2011 second-round pick, point guard Charles Jenkins, and this year's Undrafted shooting guard Kent Bazemore was signed by Jerry West.

It can be seen that Jerry West operated very conservatively this summer and did not sign veterans to supplement the team.

At the same time, those capable veterans were also very conservative and did not follow Chen Xiao to the Warriors to hug him.

Now in the entire NBA, no matter how you look at it, the Bucks, Cavaliers, Bobcats, and Heat are the four strongest teams, and they are even better by a level.

In this case, their priority goal is to go to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Of course, the most popular team this summer is actually not the top four in the Eastern Conference, but the Spurs, the strongest team in the Western Conference.

After the Spurs signed Tracy McGrady this summer, it can be said that they really seem to have no opponents in the West.

Duncan and Tracy McGrady, two older generation superstars, Ron Howard, a superstar in his prime, Ginobili and Parker, two All-Star players in their prime, plus Kawhi Leonard , Diaw, Varejao, Al Jefferson and other powerful players, the Spurs are very optimistic about the West.

Everyone is even optimistic that they can challenge the status of the top four in the Eastern Conference, especially in the Eastern Conference, which is different from the outrageous volume. In the Western Conference, the Spurs have far fewer opponents.

Seeing that the Lakers and Timberwolves are getting older and unsustainable, the Mavericks are also falling apart, and the Clippers appear to be lacking in quality.

As for the Golden State Warriors, although Chen Xiao is very strong, this team is too young and uncertain no matter how you look at it.

In this case, if the veterans go to the Spurs, it is very likely that they can at least play in the finals.

Since these capable veterans conservatively do not consider the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, Jerry West is conservative and doesn't want to give away the team's quota casually.

For the Warriors, team atmosphere is by far the most important thing.

A team must first straighten out its culture before it can pursue a championship.

Blindly signing veterans who want to win a championship will probably bring the team to collapse.

This is no joke.

Because of these young players on the Warriors, ask Bill, Clay and Big Eyebrow if they want to win the championship immediately.

Their biggest thought now is that Chen Xiao is the best boss in the history of the league, the boss who can best complement his teammates and make them grow quickly.

They now want to improve their statistics and strength.

champion?

With their current age, current strength, and current NBA experience, they have never thought about such a thing!

Young players want data and performance, champion veterans want championships, it would be strange if the players on both sides could see eye to eye during the season.

I have to say that Jerry West's team building is really layered.

Before the team has achieved combat effectiveness, it will never be allowed to undermine the success of the team by running short.

When the team's young players gain strength and confidence, the pursuit of a championship will be a matter of course.

Jerry West believes that the young people he selected are all very qualified and will grow rapidly under the leadership of Chen Xiao.

By that time, it will be time for the Golden State Warriors to sweep the league!

On October 3, the day after arriving in the United States, Chen Xiao was welcomed by the team's players, coaches, team owner and general manager Wang Zhizhi Battelle, and the team's senior consultant Jerry West to join the team.

After Chen Xiao joined the team, except for Lopez, Novak, Barnes, Livingston and other senior teammates, the other players on the Warriors looked curiously at Chen Xiao, the basketball history player. What would the most powerful and greatest player in the world do in his first Warriors training session to demonstrate his authority as the boss.

After all, Jerry Stackhouse dared to challenge Jordan, and the NBA has never lacked young brave men who dare to challenge the strongest.

This is not arrogance, this is respect.

Therefore, Chen Xiao glanced at Bill, Bazemore, Dragic, and even Clay, with thick eyebrows, looking at Chen Xiao with eagerness to try.

"Michael and Kobe have both said before that on the training ground, I am invincible in a one-on-one match. I think you have also seen videos on YouTube of me being invincible in a one-on-one match and killing whoever I see. Today, I will let you down again. How about you guys seeing me?"

Hearing Chen Xiao be so direct, these Warriors players became excited.

They didn't know how to speak yet. After all, not everyone was as disrespectful to the first person as Ou Shenxian and Beasley were.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao finished speaking, Bill stood up directly.

However, Chen Xiao quickly stopped the excited Bill.

"No need to come one by one. Let's not waste Steve's training time. Come on together."

After Chen Xiao said with a smile, Bill, Clay, Big Eyebrow, Bazemore, Ibaka, Dragic, and Jenkins were all stunned.

Lopez, Matt Barnes and other old teammates of Chen Xiao looked at the camera next to Yi Shui and the group of young people who excitedly rushed to fuck Chen Xiao. Their eyes were full of sympathy.

Today's most popular videos on YouTube are scheduled.
