Chapter 420 Tragic men's basketball team, tragic dream team
"Larry, what are you laughing at? The U.S. team lost. The U.S. team lost to Yugoslavia. Are you still laughing?" On September 2002, 9, during the quarterfinals of the Men's Basketball World Championships held in Indianapolis In the final, the Dream Five team, which represented the United States, unexpectedly lost to the Yugoslavia team 6 to 78, and was blocked from the semi-finals. Because the Pacers' Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal were both selected for the Dream Five team , and today's game was still held at the Bankers Life Arena, so the Pacers, who had already finished their vacation and started preparing for the new season, came to the scene to watch today's game.But when the game was over, looking at the long-faced Reggie Miller and the silly and innocent Jermaine O'Neal, Larry Bird on the sidelines suddenly laughed.

"The dream team lost, so Reggie will have to wait until 4 years later to win the world championship. Isn't this something to be happy about?" When the stands where people were sitting came over, Larry Bird straightened his clothes immediately and stood up, ready to comfort Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neill.

"Maybe!" After Larry Bird, Meng Xu also stood up. Meng Xu also heard the meaning of Larry Bird's words. After winning the championship last season, Reggie Miller's It can be said that his career has been very fulfilling. In addition, he will be 38 years old in a few months, so Larry Bird is also a little worried. Suddenly one day when he woke up, Reggie Miller announced his retirement, but when After the Dream Team lost today's game, with Reggie Miller's strong personality, he definitely didn't want to stop there. Maybe the Dream Team Six, or even the Dream Team Seven would still see Reggie Miller.

"Hey, hey, Meng, don't come to comfort me. Jermaine and I also participated in the game anyway. Unlike you, you can only watch your national team lose in the stands and on the TV. One game after another." The moment Meng Xu stretched out his arm to comfort Reggie Miller, Reggie Miller suddenly made a face and satirized Meng Xu.

"I'll go, you bastard." After hearing Reggie Miller's words, Meng Xu raised his arms and hung in the air for a long time: "I was thinking just now, if I want to bleed at night, please go to New Century to play , so as to comfort your wounded hearts, now it seems that it is better to forget it, I should be the one who should be comforted." Amidst the laughter of his teammates around him, Meng Xu sat down on the chair again.

Because Meng Xu has been unwilling to compromise on the issue of Wang Zhizhi, not only Wang Zhizhi, but also Meng Xu was absent from this year's Busan Asian Games. With Meng Xu and Wang Zhizhi absent, and Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong injured, Hua The national men's basketball team lost to the host South Korea team in the final of the Asian Games in Busan.But this is just the beginning. At the Indiana Men's Basketball World Championships held at the end of August, the Chinese National Basketball Association once again reiterated that the national team will permanently expel Wang Zhizhi. At the same time, Meng Xu will also miss the World Championships due to physical reasons. The men's basketball team heads to Indiana.However, as the third runner-up in the Sydney Olympic Games, the Huaguo men's basketball team finally surrendered a record of 8 win and 1 losses, ranking 7th in this World Championships.Although he did not participate in the World Championships, Meng Xu would watch every game of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and cheer for them. In the first group match against the German team, Meng Xu even pulled Wang Zhizhi who was far away in San Antonio. Come over, it is said that after the picture of two people waving the national flag was sent back to China, the leadership of the Basketball Association was very unhappy.

"Meng, I was just joking with you. What did you just say? Evening New Century? No problem, I will be there on time, and you all, don't be late." When Meng Xu said that he would treat guests tonight At the nightclub, Reggie Miller immediately resumed his nightclub Lei appearance, left Larry Bird behind, and squeezed directly to Meng Xu's side. While hugging Meng Xu's shoulders, he winked at the surrounding teammates and signaled them, It's time to fight the local tyrants again.Although Meng Xu's salary in the new season is only 920 million, he can only rank third in the Pacers team, but due to a large number of endorsement contracts, Meng Xu's income is more than the rest of the 14 Pacers combined.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I have something to do at night." Meng Xu took out his mobile phone in his pocket. The address of the number displayed on it was the hotel where the Huaguo National Team stayed. Coach Jiang Quan of the Huaguo National Team used this number to Meng Xu has called several times.

After losing the 11-12 qualifying match with Angola yesterday, the Huaguo national team will return to China in the next few days. After the national team arrived in Indiana, Meng Xu took the initiative to contact them and wanted to do his best The friendship of the landlord may be due to preparing for the World Championships, or it may be because of avoiding suspicion. Meng Xu's several invitations were rejected by coach Jiang Quan.

After receiving the invitation from Coach Jiang Quan, Meng Xu immediately left the Banker Life Arena and drove to the hotel where the national team stayed. Coach Jiang Quan told Meng Xu on the phone that he had something very important to discuss with Meng Xu. Xu discussed.

"Big Zhi? When did you arrive?" The moment Jiang Quan's door opened, Meng Xu saw a familiar figure through the gap. It turned out that Jiang Quan not only called himself, but also looked for Wang Zhizhi.

"I just got off the plane." Like the Pacers, the Mavericks' preparations for the new season have also begun. As an important rotation insider for the Mavericks, after watching the first game of the national team, Wang Zhizhi returned to Dallas directly.Wang Zhizhi's current situation in the Mavericks is obviously not very good. Originally, the Mavericks had two main insiders, Nowitzki and Bradley. This summer, Cuban spent a lot of money to sign Riff LaFrentz. In this way, Wang Zhizhi's playing time will inevitably be further compressed, and this year is Wang Zhizhi's contract year, so Da Zhi is now working harder than before. Compared with the previous season, Wang Zhizhi has made great progress. In 26 minutes of playing time last season, Dazhi averaged 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. Even if the contract expires and enters the free market, You can also get a good contract.

"Director Jiang brought both of us here. Is there something important?" After hugging each other with Wang Zhizhi, Meng Xu sat directly on the sofa beside him.

"Well, it's about Dazhi, and now there's a turning point." Jiang Quan nodded towards Meng Xu and Wang Zhizhi, then took out a fax from the drawer and handed it to Meng Xu: "Originally, yesterday, I gave the basket The association sent a letter of resignation, the Asian Games lost to South Korea, and the World Championships were played like this again. I am really ashamed to continue coaching, but there has been no response from China. This is a fax sent from China early this morning. Lan The director has been transferred, and the candidate to replace him has not yet been decided, but as soon as Director Lan leaves, there must be room for improvement in the matter between you and Da Zhi."

After Jiang Quan finished speaking, Meng Xu and Wang Zhizhi looked at each other, and then neither spoke. Meng Xu was waiting for Wang Zhizhi to speak, and Wang Zhizhi was waiting for Meng Xu to speak.For Meng Xu, Wang Zhizhi is the protagonist in this matter. Since he has decided to advance and retreat with him, he must first look at his intentions.For Wang Zhizhi, he was in the United States, and his friend Meng Xu, since he entered the NBA, not only called himself often to share some game experience, but also invited big names like Duncan to guide him in the summer, and In the matter of the national team, he has always stood up for himself, so now Wang Zhizhi must first seek Meng Xu's opinion.

"Well, you wait for my notice. After returning to China, as long as the new director takes office, I will go to him immediately."
