The sun shines outside the window. Seattle, which has been rainy in recent days, has a rare weather and sunshine. At the Hilton Hotel next to Pioneer Square, Chamberlain successfully signed the contract and accepted an exclusive interview with the team reporter Lin Mo.

"It is a very sacred thing to join the national team. As an athlete like me, no matter what achievements he has achieved abroad, if he cannot contribute to the country and bring glory to his compatriots in the country, it will be a very regrettable thing. I am very happy today." Chamberlain paused and sorted out his ideas and continued: "In recent years, our country's sports industry has made great progress and cultivated a large number of outstanding athletes, such as Yao Ming, roughly, is also a representative figure in the world, the top eight in Asia and the number one in Asia, are all very great achievements." Whether it is official words, clichés, or lies, or how many shortcomings in domestic basketball, Chamberlain has no right to criticize when he first arrived, and he is not a naughty person. He can only comment on the content of you, I am, everyone.

"So do you think your joining can improve the combat effectiveness of the national team? Recently, domestic media, the Internet, and fans have been arguing about who is the "No. 1 center in Asia, what do you think about this?"

"First of all, basketball is a team sport, and no one can surpass this group. There is a saying in NBA: 'A person will never win the championship. I think this sentence makes a lot of sense. There are many famous stars who have left a lot of regrets in their careers because they do not have the support of an excellent team. For example, Charles Barkley, who we know very well." Barkley was a clown in China since the moment he hacked Yao Ming. Now Chamberlain uses him as an analogy, which really makes everyone around him burst into laughter.

"But I will definitely be helpful to the national team. I will do my best to work with Yao Ming, roughly, and the national teammates to strive to make our results higher." After the laughter stopped, Chamberlain continued the topic just now and said firmly. Humility is modest, but when it is time to express his opinion, it is necessary to express that this is the responsibility a man should have.

"I have watched basketball games a long time ago. Yao Ming, their heroic posture on the court, left a deep impression on me. The reason why I play basketball is because I am influenced by them. I am not suitable to play centers. There are still many people who say so, which is completely influenced by them. Our country has been very successful in cultivating centers and has always had the tradition of using centers as the core of tactics. Therefore, due to these influences, centers have always been my favorite position." Chamberlain is not suitable to play centers and gets

The center who has exceeded 50 plus is actually judged so much. This seems like a fantasy, but in the columns of some famous basketball experts in the NBA, there is a point that has always existed. The reason is that his passes and Chamberlain's passes are too outstanding, and there was a man named Johnson before him. "Magic" II, Johnson is tall as a center and does the job of point guards, so in the eyes of those people, Chamberlain, who does not have the ability to play strong inside, should become a point guard.

"So who do you think of the 'No. 1 center in Asia, what do you think about this?" Seeing that Chamberlain did not answer this question, Lin Mo couldn't help asking again. This question is too popular in China, and finally got the opportunity to interview Chamberlain, Lin Mo certainly would not let him go so easily.

"I personally think that the number one center in Asia should be roughly, roughly an old senior. Before Brother Yao led the national team. Whether it was the achievements or contributions he made, it was beyond the reach of Brother Yao now. As for me, I am the youngest here. I have not played an international game for the country so far, and I should not be in this selection." No. 1 center in Asia! Chamberlain believed from beginning to end. Not to mention that in the past few years, after the Ko years of the future, the roughly the end of his career was still the stabilizing force of the national team. All of this is incomparable to Yao Ming. Even at the peak, the national team led by Yao Ming dared not say that it surpassed the one led by roughly.

"I think what Xiao Zhang said is very reasonable. He is roughly the well-deserved number one in China's basketball. Xiao Yao and Xiao Zhang are not comparable to him now." It seems that the man named Yan is still quite caring for Chamberlain. At this time, he interrupted and set the tone, ending Lin Mo's questioning of this controversial issue. Then he said: "You continue."

"Mr. Zhang, you have achieved great achievements in the past two months. It is considered by foreign media to be the leader of the 2003 generation and the next 10 years. As far as we know, you signed a one-year contract with Seattle. Now domestic fans are very concerned about your future where you will go. It is not convenient for you to reveal it here?" With the instructions of the man named Yan, Lin Mo nodded and asked another question she had carefully prepared before.

"Yes, I have achieved some achievements, but this cannot be separated from the support of my teammates and the tactical arrangement of the team's head coach Nate. A suitable tactic, a group of suitable teammates, is very important for a player. I am a player suitable for fast break, and the Supersonics is a team with a tradition of small balls. My teammates Ray Allen and Lewis can threaten the opponent's basket at any position as long as they stand on the outside, which brings me a lot of opportunities, offense or passing, and more opportunities.

A choice that allows me to deal with it calmly in the inside line. And Mourning, both on the court and in life, has given me great help. We have a good relationship. When I was still in San Antonio, Mourning taught me to play basketball. It can be said that he is my good teacher and friend." Chamberlain has been asked this question countless times, so he answered it easily. But the next question made him scratch his head. Where will he go in the future? Chamberlain really didn't think about this question clearly.

"I haven't thought about these questions about where I will go in the future. When everything is settled, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"That is to say, you will leave Seattle, right?" Lin Mo was reluctant to leave this question.

"Everything is possible. What's important is that this season, I will only consider the next issue when this season passes."

"There is another question, Mr. Zhang. You said earlier that you are suitable for fast attacks, but Yao Ming is the kind of inside line that cannot get fast. As a "two towers" that domestic fans have high expectations, how do you think you should solve this problem?"

"Haha." Chamberlain was amused by Lin Mo. The reporter seemed to have a grudge against him, and the questions asked were more tricky than the other. But this was not a problem: "This is not a problem at all. As we all know, the Spurs have never been a team that plays fast, but I have helped them win the championship. I don't think anyone denies my role in that team last season."

"The foreign media now believe that in the next few years, your confrontation with James, Wade and Anthony will become the main melody of the NBA. As the main member of the 203 Platinum generation, what do you think about these? How did you go from a undraft to today?"

"They are all excellent players, and I feel very honored to be comparable to them. This is how athletes are. The peak period is very short, only a few years. The Platinum generation is the expectation of us, and it is also the affirmation and encouragement of fans. As the generation that has been most highly anticipated by the NBA in recent years, I think we have the responsibility to inherit the mantle of our predecessors and bring more exciting games to the fans."'Ob Four Masters", Chamberlain, Anthony, James James

Muss, Wade, this is the ranking given by the media recently. Chamberlain is considered to have achieved the greatest achievements in the future, followed by Anthony. James and Wade were equally comparable, but they may have been stimulated. In the game against the Clippers a few days ago, James scored 52 points in a crazy match against the Clippers, becoming the third player in 2003 who scored 50 plus points after Anthony, which made the media exclaim terror and confirmed the title of 2003's first generation Platinum.

"There is another question. Mr. Zhang is also the most concerned issue for domestic fans. Hu used his position to blackmail you. After failing, he slandered you in the media. Why didn't you fight back and expose his ugly face in front of the media?"

Lin Mo asked these questions, and Chamberlain's head flashed, and she finally remembered who she was. She was the mean female reporter who asked questions such as: "What is your island country's name?" "Did you have joined the island country's nationality?" and so on, and was also one of the important culprits of Chamberlain's misperforming performance in those days.

"How to respond? I am here to play, not to discredit the country. If I expose all this in the media, it may change my situation at that time, but it will also give those hostile forces an opportunity to take advantage of it. This is not what I want." Yes, this is why Chamberlain has been silent these days. Regardless of whether his remarks can be seen by domestic fans, what if they can be seen? In this way, things will not only be limited to the country, but the storms he has caused will even affect the entire Europe. Those lessons from the past are vivid in my mind. Chamberlain does not want to see them and he will become another party involved in a similar incident.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I apologize for my interview with you a few days ago."
