283 Men's Basketball Chaos

Seeing Chamberlain coming, Sun Yue smiled and put away the ball. In fact, the two of them had a bad temper. Chamberlain didn't like Sun Yue very much, mainly because of his personality. Sun Yue's smile always made him feel fake, which is very different from Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian is a bit introverted but very honest, while Sun Yue made Chamberlain feel that he was a bit opportunistic in his work.

For example, when Chamberlain first came to the men's basketball team last month, Sun Yue was the most enthusiastic one, helping him arrange a room and bring him familiar with the city of Beijing to introduce his teammates. But later he found that his teammates were not interested in Chamberlain, and when the head coach Yunas had a particularly bad relationship with Chamberlain, he quickly stayed away from the other party.

This made Chamberlain very angry. Later, when Li Qun found out, he comforted him and said that Sun Yue was recruited by Yunas in the national team. It can be said that Yunas discovered Sun Yue and was his mentor. This is true.

Chamberlain walked to Sun Yue and there was no topic. He asked, "What are you practicing? Are you practicing right-hand dribbling?"

As soon as he asked this sentence, the smile on Sun Yue's face became a little stagnant, which was also one of the reasons why Chamberlain and his teammates were dissatisfied. Chamberlain grew up in the United States. Although influenced by his parents and grandparents, he possessed the humility and low-key of Chinese people, but more of them were straightforward and ostentatious as most Americans.

Sun Yue is a left-handed, but he has worked hard since he was a child and practiced his right-handed hand very hard. Originally, this should be his advantage. For example, Ginobili is also a left-handed, but he developed the right-hand attack skill, so he has the reputation of the South American demon sword. When he held the ball, no one could tell which side he wanted to launch the attack from and where to end the attack.

The problem is that Sun Yue was unfortunately injured in a crushing fracture in his right index finger when he was playing in the Aoshen team. This affected his right hand control and shooting stability. He knew his shortcomings, so he kept practicing hard to make up for this. Everyone in the men's basketball team understands it, so he never talks about his right hand. This is also a feature of the Chinese character, that is, he never touches people's shortcomings.

Chamberlain is different. He doesn't care about these things. In fact, he said that he wanted to help Sun Yue. After all, Curry is also a left-handed player and a sharpshooter. But Sun Yue doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know about this. He is very sensitive. Chamberlain said this, and he feels that the other party is pitying him.

The change in Sun Yue's expression made Chamberlain realize that he was saying the wrong thing, and Yao Ming was winking at him not far away. He thought about it and suddenly thought of a better topic and said happily: "I attended an event called NHAf Believer last night. Do you know who I met there?"

Chamberlain's happiness made Sun Yue depressed. Who did you meet during that event and what relationship did you have with me? But he still cooperated and asked, "Who is it?"

Chamberlain smiled and said, "It's a beautiful girl. She said her name is Gu Chen..."

‘Gu Chen, as soon as the two words appeared, the smile on Sun Yue’s face collapsed. He didn’t smirk like before, and walked away with a blue face.

Chamberlain was depressed. He looked at Sun Yue's angry back and looked around blankly. Yi Jianlian hurriedly walked up and pulled Chamberlain, whispering: "My man, Gu Chen is Sun Yue's ex-girlfriend... The relationship between the two of them is difficult to say. In short, don't mention Gu Chen's name."

Chamberlain was amused and cried, and said helplessly: "How do I know this?"

Under the leadership of physical training, the players first conducted warm-up training, and then Yunas appeared on the court with assistant coaches Al, Guo Shiqiang and Nelson Jr.

Seeing Chamberlain, Yunas looked bad. He gathered the players together and asked first: "Have everyone here?"

Yao Ming hurriedly said, "Yes, coach, everyone is all."

Yunas glanced at Chamberlain and snorted coldly, "That's good. I thought someone was going to participate in some activities and programs that could not participate in training. I will say it again here. Since I joined my team, there must be discipline. I can tolerate my team's lack of strength, but I will never tolerate that I led a team of undisciplined scattered soldiers."

As soon as he said this, Chamberlain understood that this old man was getting angry at him.

Yunas has a hot temper, and Chamberlain has even experienced it. After understanding, he said directly: "Mr. Coach, if you have something to do, just say it clearly. I think holding a gun and stick, and sarcasm are not what a man should do.

The players were in an uproar. No one expected that Chamberlain had such a hot temper and would not suffer any loss.

Nelson Jr. hurriedly blinked at Chamberlain. Nelson Jr. is naturally the baby son of Don Nelson. He is now the assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yunas' assistant, and was specially invited by Li Yuanwei, the leader of the men's basketball team.

Asking Nelson Jr. to be an assistant coach for Yunas, the Basketball Association has also put a good intention.

It was initially decided to ask Nelson Jr. to be Yunas' assistant. This idea has little to do with Chamberlain. As early as last year, the Basketball Association began to contact Nelson Jr., and Nelson Jr. joined the coaching staff of the Chinese men's basketball team earlier than Chamberlain joined the Chinese nationality.

At first, the Basketball Association's idea was that Nelson Jr. had rich experience in coaching major competitions and advanced training methods and tactical concepts in the NHA, which could bring considerable help to the national team, so the Basketball Manager Center first sent an invitation to Nelson Jr.

The first person to invite Nelson Jr. was Yunas. At the Sydney Olympics B years ago, the two teamed up to lead Lithuania to almost defeat the United States in the semi-finals. When Yunas was on vacation at home in 207, he was paying attention to China's EA League while maintaining close contact with Nelson Jr.

In addition, the Basketball Association finally decided to let Nelson Jr. join the coaching staff, and another important reason: he knows Yao Ming very well. Among the two Rockets' opponents, the Mavericks are undoubtedly the team that has studied the Rockets the most thoroughly. Nelson Jr. has been with his father for many years with the Mavericks. His understanding of Yao Ming's weaknesses may even be stronger than his understanding of Yao Ming's strengths.

Nelson Jr. has a deep relationship with Chinese basketball. Back then, he fell in love with Wang Zhizhi and helped Wang Zhizhi become the number one person in China on the NHAR spoon. Nelson Jr. has been an assistant coach of the Lithuanian team in the past six years, helping them to enter the Olympic semi-finals four times, won bronze medals three times, and defeated the US team once.

In addition to the rise of Chamberlain later, inviting Nelson Jr. became the top priority of the Basketball Association. At that time, the Basketball Association had thought that if Cao Nan's trip to the United States was not effective, then let Nelson Jr. come forward to discuss it. People and national justice should be fine, and Chamberlain should be defeated.

After Nelson Jr. came to the men's basketball team, his coaching skills were not shown much, but he became a good friend. He had a good relationship with Yunas and a better relationship with Chamberlain - Nelson Jr. used Chamberlain as his own son, so they were all brothers who were not related by blood.

So seeing the two of them quarreled again, Nelson suddenly had a headache and hurriedly stood up to put out the fire.

However, Yunas and Chamberlain both have hot tempers. They are both the same genius and both have the same unruly temperament. It is normal for sparks to happen when they meet.

Yunas' legend is no worse than Chamberlain now. His full name is Yunas Kazlauskas, and his achievements in his player age are quite prominent: he was selected as a former Soviet national team in all age groups from the national youth team to the national team. After joining the Soviet men's basketball team, he became the main point guard.

Compared with his players' age, Yunas's club coaching experience is even more brilliant. He has won six Lithuanian League championships since 1995 and has dominated the European club league twice. Since 1997, Yunas has become the head coach of the Lithuanian national team, led the Thuanian national team to the European Championships many times, and led the team to participate in the Sydney Olympics to win the bronze medal. Yunas has won the title of Lithuanian Best Coach of the Year many times, and in 206 he was also awarded the title of European Best Coach, and is known as the "Basketball Caesar" in Europe.

In fact, Yunas is not targeting Chamberlain. He has criticized everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team. Not only the players, but also the leaders of the Basketball Association and even the EAR Scoop presidents have been bombarded by him. The most famous of them is undoubtedly Jiuwen.

The Caesar Nine Questions happened in July 2UU, when Yunas led the Chinese men's basketball team to practice in Europe. On June 2, 2UU, the Chinese men's basketball team started their first game of practice in Europe in Ancona. The opponent was the Italian team, and the Chinese team lost 6 points.

This game was a pretty good game in this training session that took more than a month. Next, as long as you encounter European strong teams like Spain, France, and Lithuania, the Chinese team will lose a lot of money. What's even more fatal is that these teams are often not staffed, and some are only second teams, which makes Lao You, who is well-behaved, feel embarrassed.

So, at the press conference after the training match, Yunas, who could not bear it, threw nine questions to reporters from all over the world:

Why do Chinese players have poor physical strength? Why do they hesitate on the court and make many mistakes? Why do they have poor physical confrontation? Why can't they change bad habits? Why are the EA League level low? Why can't the players they want come? Why can't they only praise and criticize the players? Why do we play without confidence when Yao Ming is not here? Why do players keep asking me about every style of play?

These nine questions are really deadly. Not only the players, but even the Basketball Association has been questioned, and even the essence of the Chinese men's basketball team was criticized by him. More importantly, at that time, he was not in China, but in Europe, and was fired at the media around the world. The Chinese Basketball Association was really embarrassing to the whole world that time.

Subsequently, in B, 2UU, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated Australia in the last game of the Stankovic Cup. The day before Japan was sent to the World Championships the next day, a victory did not shut up. He once again began to question the impact of the low level of the EA League on the national team. Yunas said: "Through these warm-up matches, we can see the development trend of world basketball, and the EAR spoon style runs contrary to this, and the EA League confrontation is obviously not fierce enough."

If the bombardment of the Basketball Association and the EA League shows Yunas' character, then his criticism of the players will be even more heard:

The first unlucky person was Wang Zhizhi. In the World Championships in September 2018, Yunas fired a gun against Dazhi, who was sluggish due to injuries: "I have great expectations for him, but he disappointed me very much today. The Chinese team seemed to have one finger broken."

Then there was Yi Jianlian. In February 2UU, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Doha to participate in the Asian Games. Although they won the first game, facing Kazakhstan, whose average height is only 97 meters, the Chinese team's rebounding was actually one less than the opponent. Head coach Yunas also pointed the finger at Yi Jianlian: "Yi Jianlian is always a good man on the court, and he is always so gentleman in playing basketball. I am very dissatisfied with this."

After bombarding Yi Jianlian, Yunas pointed his finger at another inside player Tang Zhengdong: "This is Tang Zhengdong's last chance, but he disappointed us again." Although Tang Zhengdong had a 2-minute chance that day, he only scored 2 points and scored 6 rebounds and made 2 mistakes.

After the players were beaten, in April 207, Yunas again bombarded the Basketball Association in response to reporters' doubts about physical fitness after the training class: "This is how I practiced when I was in the Lithuanian national team. We have 7 years of experience. If you have doubts about our training method, then go and see the Lithuanian national team's record against the Chinese team."

It's nothing to criticize Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian. Tang Zhengdong is actually not his own line. After all, this is not his direct line. Sun Yue is a disciple who was promoted by Yunas, but even if he is not a disciple, he is not a guest.

On June 13, 207, head coach Yunas' comments on Sun Yue in an open class attracted dissatisfaction from the Aoshen Club. Yunas directly told reporters that he was very clear about Sun Yue's strength, and the latter was not strong enough to play against the NHA, and he would definitely bring shame to himself when he participated in the draft. These words angered the Aoshen team behind Sun Yue. The Aoshen team claimed that Yunas' remarks were questioning Sun Yue's ability, which would affect Sun Yue's draft in the United States and swear to take Yunas to court.

In fact, the men's basketball team, whether it is the leader or the player, the substitute or the main force, were beaten very badly by Yunas, including the men's basketball team's baby Yao Ming.

In July 207, Yunas said after the open class of the men's basketball team: "All the men's basketball team's preparation plan was formulated with Yao Ming's consent, and now he has not returned to the team for a long time. If he said he could not return to the team, we would not expect him, but now everything is around him, and he said he is physically injured. What's the matter? I can't fly to Houston to really give him a full-body examination, right?"

The men's basketball team knew Yunas' temper, so they didn't know him well. This old man had a bad temper, but his coaching level was absolutely fine. "European Caesar, such a nickname not only refers to his bad temper, but his level of fighting is unquestionable.

But Chamberlain is different from his men's basketball teammates. Others, including Yao Ming, even the NHA superstar, grew up in China. He has an instinctive awe of leaders and coaches, and is well versed in the knowledge of meanness, and is good at enduring and never giving up.

Chamberlain is different. His temper is that if I make a mistake, you point it out clearly. As long as you make sense, I will change it. But if I haven’t made a mistake, then you apologize to me. You can’t blame me at will, and you can’t vent your anger on criticism, otherwise, hum.

With this idea, Chamberlain pushed away the little Nelson who was blocking him. He shouted to Yunas: "Tell me clearly, where did I make a mistake? Yes, I haven't come to practice together for several days, but haven't I asked for leave from you? If you don't want to criticize my leave, just say, if you criticize my leave, don't be like a woman."

When Yao Ming and others saw that the matter was going to happen, he and Yi Jianlian hurriedly came up to pull him away and Yunas.

Yunas waved his hand and shouted, "Go back to me."

He was very powerful in the men's basketball team. With a roar, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian immediately stopped. He glared at Chamberlain and shouted: "Is there any discipline in your eyes? I approve you on vacation. That is the preferential treatment I give you. You still use this to bargain with me? Yes, you have indeed trained hard after you come to the team, but have you fully implemented my tactics? What's the matter with lip service to me in training?"

Yunas' roar could not make Chamberlain afraid at all, and he countered with a louder voice: "Why should I fully implement your tactics? Have you ever considered what your tactics are? You made me focus on rebounding? Fuck it, do you think I am a coolie? I have never seen a head coach as stiff as you. I admit that I was a little late to integrate into the team, but don't you redesign the tactics? I really don't know how people like you think of them as head coaches."

Chamberlain said very well. When he finished speaking, Nelson, who knew Junas' temper, knew that things were going to be over.

Sure enough, Yunas glared at his eyes and roared: "You are still the opposite. Who is the head coach here? Remember, Chamberlain, no matter how big you are, you are just a player, I am the head coach, do you understand? I am a chess player, you are the flag. I said you have to go wherever you want you to go, and you have to go wherever you want to go. If you don't want to listen to me, then you quit the men's basketball team. If you don't believe in my coaching ability, then you can find a head coach for your men's basketball team yourself, and I quit."
