Standing pretty old

Chapter 768

Er Niu has been in Atlanta for many years, and this is the first time he knows that there is such a restaurant in the sky.

The coordinates are located in the northwest of Atlanta, and the transportation is fairly convenient, but this place is indeed quite far from the city center.

In a Chinese-style courtyard, after entering the door and bypassing the screen, the first thing that catches the eye is a lush green bamboo.

Among other things, being able to enjoy bamboo tea in a quiet environment for the first time is a poetic thing in itself.

To be honest, things like Fengya have always required vassals.

The store owner seemed to have known that big stars like Er Niu and Dayao were coming, and after a short exchange of pleasantries, the boss led Ruan and Yao into the inner box.

A middle-aged man was sitting there quietly drinking tea. When Ruan and Yao came together, he quickly got up and greeted him. After Yu Erniu shook hands with Dayao, he took the initiative to say: "They are all here! sit!"

This person is Chairman Xin. To be precise, he should be the vice chairman of the China Basketball Association, and his official position is the director of the basketball management center under the China Sports General Administration.

Then the question comes:

[-]. Who is the full-time chairman of the China Basketball Association?

[-]. What is the relationship between the China Basketball Association and the Basketball Management Center?
First of all, the full-time chairman of the China Basketball Association is Mr. Yu, the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports. Of course, the nature is the same as Director Yuan. Although he supervises the chairman of the Football Association, he is basically not in charge of the affairs of the Football Association.

Then, the relationship between the China Basketball Association and the Basketball Management Center can be described as "two sets of teams, one set of people".

The Chinese Basketball Association is a non-governmental organization. According to international practice, he should be the representative of the Chinese Basketball Association, while the Basketball Management Center is an administrative organization. In fact, all members are embedded in the management of the Chinese Basketball Association.

In other words, basically every official of the Basketball Association can find a corresponding person in the Basketball Management Center.

There have always been a lot of strange things in the Celestial Dynasty. If you see a lot, you will not be surprised. After all, this dynasty has its own national conditions.

Let’s talk about Chairman Xin himself. His notoriety can be summed up in a couplet:
"Thank God, thank you Abron, believe in gods and ghosts and believe in the basket city."

Needless to say about the former, a few months later, Mr. Xie was invited to drink tea by the judicial department, and what about the latter?

Even though he was denounced by many fans, he did not overturn the boat when the waves of his anti-corruption surged one after another.

From this point of view, Xin is at least very likely not to be a corrupt official.

Many years later, in addition to the reports of various media, the sources of fans' evaluation of the letter are mainly the narrations of two other people:
Yang Yi and his former master Su Junyang.

Mr. Yang is a well-known inventor of basketball. Reading his books can be used as entertainment. If you want to seriously explore the truth, you are joking.

Let’s not talk about McGrady’s stingy incident, and I don’t know where he got the information, saying that David Stern came to visit, and at the same time sat with Director Yuan and Chairman Xin to chat about basketball.

As a result, Stern and Director Yuan chatted happily, but Chairman Xin was like a mud-bodied bodhisattva. He didn't say a word the whole time, his face was sinking like water, and he didn't even make eye contact.

According to Mr. Yang's book, Chairman Xin actually doesn't care about Tianchao basketball. He is even more interested in antique calligraphy and painting than basketball.

As a result, the image of a bureaucrat who has no emotion for basketball and is stubborn on paper comes alive on paper.

Of course, when the character is transferred to Su Junyang, it becomes a different face. Mr. Su's article appeared after Chairman Xin stepped down.

This article has been circulating on the Internet.

But there, the image of Chairman Xin has changed. Although he is still not interested in the development of the CBA brand, after the defeat of Jinmen in 2009, he increased his investment in youth training, even if the CBA schedule was shortened. It is also necessary to allow the youth team to have more opportunities for international competitions and training.

The time when the article was published was exactly when the Chinese men's basketball team re-emerged in Asia in 15.

After winning the championship, there should be no need to be questioned, right?
No, people only remember the bravery of Gong Luming and the men's basketball players, but they selectively ignore Chairman Xin.

At this time, countless people jumped out and said that Su Junyang only knows how to sing praises, and does not have the basic integrity of a media worker, but if he speaks with integrity, must he tell the truth?
Children like to distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons most of the time.

People often think that the enemy of a bad person must be a good person, but in real scenarios, a good person may turn bad, and a bad person may also do good deeds, and the greater possibility is that everyone is competing for their own interests, and there is no distinction between good and bad .

Just like the Western Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo, who cut down the vassal, and Yuan Ang, who didn't deal with him, it's hard for you to tell who is the bad guy between the two.

In the final analysis, they are still fighting for their own ideas.

Chairman Xin bowed his head to the old forces of all parties (probably he himself is a part of the forces), and it is true that he reversed professional basketball, but he advocated the use of Gong Luming to train young people so that the new generation can regain the Asian Cup. The championship (even if it is for political achievements) is an indisputable fact.

Even a basketball inventor like Mr. Yang had to write this sentence in his book: "This is not to belittle him, it is just a product of the times."

Mr. Yang only said half of what he said. Chairman Xin is not only a product of the times, but also a product of the system.

……

Back in the box, after the three of them were seated, Chairman Xin just invited Ruan and Yao to drink tea, but he didn't intend to speak first.

The atmosphere in the box gradually became awkward. After drinking half a pot of tea, Chairman Xin began to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Most of the dishes here are mainly vegetarian, and naturally there is no type of taboo for athletes, but for Er Niu and Dayao, the two big eaters, the portions are too small.

Chairman Xin didn't speak, and Er Niu chose to eat food in silence, but Dayao kept looking for topics, and the three of them gradually talked more and more.

Chairman Xin suddenly asked: "Er Niu, what do you think we can finish in the World Championships?"

Ruan Erniu stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and asked in a very relaxed tone: "What is the index given by the Basketball Center?"

Chairman Xin smiled and said: "You were generalized. Since the imperial capital has won the championship, I think it is not impossible to win the World Championships, right?"

At this time Yao Ming bowed his head and remained silent, but Ruan Erniu stopped laughing and said word by word: "I will do my best to compete for this world championship."

Chairman Xin picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it. He just said indifferently: "You alone are not enough. Basketball is a team sport."

Yao Ming who was on the side suddenly interjected: "We will all work together! It is our duty to win glory for the country!"

Chairman Xin nodded and said, "That's right! Er Niu, how about we talk about something after the World Championships? To make any major decision, you need to consider all aspects of the problem."

Ruan Erniu replied directly: "No, Chairman Xin, this is my decision after careful consideration. I am an adult and have the ability to be responsible for my own decisions."

Chairman Xin paused, and after a while, he still nodded and said: "Well, well, I respect your decision. However, I hope you will release the statement of withdrawing from the national team after the World Championships, so that everyone There is a buffer period."

Ruan Erniu thought for a while, nodded his head and said "OK".

Later, Chairman Xin began to turn the topic to landscapes, flowers and birds, iron paintings and silver hooks, and it can be heard that he has really done a lot of research on this aspect.Ruan and Yao were completely reduced to idiots and could only listen to Chairman Xin's speech.

There was no rhetoric, no coercion, and no complete fallout. The meal that the Erniu team thought was a grand banquet passed smoothly.

Ruan and Yao walked out of the hotel and got into the car. Er Niu asked with emotion, "Is there a trick waiting for me, or is the matter over?"

Yao Ming smiled and said: "Congratulations, the matter is closed for the time being!
But are you ready to be sprayed?Once you fail to win the World Championships, the fans will regard you as a deserter.

Of course, it is more likely that the leaders took this opportunity to persuade you not to quit the national team again. "

Ruan Erniu also laughed and said, "Let's see if we can create another miracle!"

……

The seemingly unreasonable ending is full of various interests.

In the final analysis, Erniu himself has already left the system, and the basketball management center has no ownership of Ruan Erniu from the beginning.

The former Chairman Li's recruitment of Erniu was more like hiring a foreign aid. On the surface, all the procedures were complete, but in fact, once the Manniu didn't want to do it, the basketball management center had nothing to do with him.

That being the case, for the sake of practical interests, instead of forcing Ruan Erniu to change course, it is better to get together and break up. Before Erniu leaves, setting another best record in the Men's Basketball World Championships may not be the most reliable option.

A few years later, when people mention the glorious period of the men's basketball team, they will neither forget the Olympic champion in the era of Chairman Li, nor the best record in the World Championships in the era of Chairman Xin.

Speaking of winning the championship is just a slogan.

In any case, after experiencing the disastrous defeat in Jinmen, getting an exciting ranking on the international stage is a powerful booster for the Tianchao men's basketball team.

As for what kind of image Erniu will withdraw from the historical stage of the men's basketball team, it depends not only on the team's performance, but also on how Erniu's team mobilizes resources to shape the image.

Don't forget, Erniu is the employer himself, and he has Weibo and WeChat resources in his hands, so how can he not be beautified and packaged.

Before saying goodbye, Ruan Erniu suddenly smiled and said to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, which side are you on?"

Yao Ming also immediately sent back an emoji to Er Niu, and then said: "When I was a player, I was on the player's side. When I was the owner, I was on the owner's side."

That's right, the people who met Chairman Xin today were not two young players, but two out-and-out capitalists. This is the truth of the matter!
Before long, Yao Ming will continue to put pressure on the Basketball Association to deepen market-oriented reforms. As long as he is the owner of the Shanghai Sharks, he must fight for his own interests.

Capital is something that will force elites to expand themselves. At that time, it will be the key to truly testing Dayao's integrity and talent.

After finishing the conversation with Chairman Le Xin, Erniu once again focused on the playoffs.

In the G2 game, the Bulls did do better offensively than G1.

In the first quarter of the game, although the scores of the two teams were stretched again, the Bulls still maintained the trailing points at single digits. However, Ruan Erniu still scored a double score of 15+12 in a single quarter on the heads of Noah and Gibson. double data.

After the start of the second quarter, Ronald Murray, who played poorly in the first game, ushered in a burst, scoring consecutive points and even tying the two teams.

But for the Eagles, Crawford's shooting percentage has also increased. In addition, Steve Novak also suddenly exploded from outside the three-point line, hitting 4 three-pointers in a single quarter. The team's score opened.

The tenacious Bulls did not give up hope. At the beginning of the second half, under the leadership of Derrick Rose, the Bulls began to play collectively. Ruhr Deng made consecutive shots. Even Gibson cooperated with Rose many times and succeeded in attacking the basket.

Woodson immediately asked for a timeout, and the Hawks never gave the Chicagoans any chance in the following game.

Dantou replaced the poor Lunar Eclipse with Birdman, while Er Niu continued to maintain a high-pressure rule on the inside.

Neither Joakim Noah nor the high-ranking Brad Miller could cause too much trouble for the Chinese.

At the end of the game, the Atlanta people, who were already leading by nearly 20+, did not stop. Under the joint performance of Erniu, Jiongsen and Salmons, a wave of 14:2 directly pulled the difference between the two teams to more than 30 points, and the game ended. Enter garbage time.

102:130, even though the Hawks dispatched their substitutes in the second half of the last quarter, they still easily reaped the game and successfully won the first round of G2. They will go to Chicago with a huge 2:0 advantage.

Derrick Rose said after the game: "We need to adapt to the playoffs as soon as possible. We will have no retreat when we return to Chicago. At home, we must win."

Whether Rose is lying or not will soon be verified.

On April 2010, 4, U.S. time, three days after the G22 game, the Eagles arrived at the United Center Arena in Chicago.

Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen are very touched every time they come to the United Center arena.

More than two seasons ago, that is, Erniu's rookie season, they stopped here, and in front of them at that time was the most iconic sculpture in this arena - the bronze statue of Jordan dunking.

"Joe, did I ask you how you can have your own bronze statue like Jordan?" Er Niu smiled and asked Jiongsen beside him in the locker room.

Jon Jonson also smiled and said, "I asked! Kraft, I can tell you very clearly that even if you retire from the Hawks now, you can still win Jordan's reputation like the Bulls, because you are our Jordan."

More than two seasons have passed, many things have changed, but looking back, the original dream still makes people excited.

For an athlete, commercial interests must be mentioned, but the competitive spirit for honor is also an indispensable thing in their lives.

As far as the Eagles are concerned, they are on the road to making history, but for the Bulls, they urgently need to defend their dignity at home.

Falling behind 2:0 means that they are likely to be swept out in the next two games. Now the Chicagoans have basically driven out the concept of black eight in their minds. Winning the next game first to avoid being swept is the most urgent and reliable thing.

G3 officially started, Noah won the jump ball for the Bulls, and the Bulls had the ball.

Rose held the ball and advanced the frontcourt, facing Dragic's defense was a three-pointer.

"brush!"

in!

Rose shot the ball very resolutely, and the Chicago fans also gave their current leaders the greatest cheers and encouragement.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu held the ball in the horn position. After two steps with his back, he attracted the defense and distributed the ball to Jiongsen on the other side.
囧囧sen made a 16-foot mid-range shot, "Swipe!", also hit!

On the offensive end of the Bulls, Rose quickly entered the penalty area with the help of Gibson's cover.

What a powerful stagnation and waist and abdomen strength.

Rose's athletic ability at his peak is indeed terrifying. He was on one side of the basket one moment before, and he can appear on the other side of the basket in the next second like a teleportation.

The magnitude of the shaking is simply jaw-dropping.

Ruan Erniu's own athletic ability is also top-notch, but he himself is not sure whether he can complete such an exaggerated change of direction after starting at a high speed like Rose.

Dragic took the ball in the frontcourt, and then sent the ball to the 18-foot Ruan Erniu. The bull swayed sideways, swayed Noah's defense, and immediately pulled out his hand.

"boom!"

Missed!

Gibson took the backcourt rebound and immediately made a long pass to Rose who found him. Rose started at full speed and passed Dragic who was trying to stop him in an instant, then flew up, dunked the basket with both arms, and hung above the basket.

This is Derrick Rose. When he is healthy, his physical talent is indeed coveted. Poor shooting is not a problem. With his impact, most of the insiders in the league will be reduced to his background board.

The Hawks underestimated the Bulls. The competitive state they showed in G3 was indeed ready to fight hard. In contrast, the Hawks played too conservatively and seemed to be less aggressive, as if they were waiting for the Bulls to make mistakes.

In the first quarter of G3, Derrick Rose played explosively. He made 8 of 6 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 15 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound.

As for the Hawks, no one scored in double figures in a single quarter.

21:32，鹰队首节落后达到11分，这样的场面和G1、G2形成了鲜明对比。

Woodson started the blower mode again, approving all the Eagles players on the bench, including the most famous players Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen. In Woodson's view, the reason for the way the ball was played was that the Eagles themselves were not focused enough. of.

The ESPN trio in charge of the night's commentary were again Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Breen and Mark Jackson.

Van Gundy said: "Obviously, the defending champion didn't take the Bulls too seriously, but Derrick Rose played a dominant level in the past quarter."

Mike Brin said: "Then it depends on how the Eagles respond. To be honest, I am more optimistic about the 75-win Eagles. As long as they don't make mistakes, no team in the league can stop them. .”

Mark Jackson said: "I think the role of one person is underestimated-Larry Drew, he has been an assistant coach of the Hawks for many years and knows all the tactics of the Hawks. The Bulls haven't found the rhythm of the game in the first two games. I'm afraid the Hawks will have quite a bit of trouble after that."

　Some content can't be written in detail, and the two points can also be exchanged, but that is obviously not the state of the game between international superstars and Yamen.

　　About believing in this person, I have said enough in the novel. Of course, the novel is just a novel, and there must be a gap between it and a real person. It is far greater than merit, but it is generally limited by the system. The so-called movement is not as good as silence.

　　Regarding the national system, I also have the same attitude. It has merit, but it is far greater than merit. While creating many gold medals, it has also harmed countless athletes. Of course, people often see blood and tears behind individual athletes. The road to success, in recent years, the news about athletes without a home is not uncommon. Is there no reason?

　　The national quality is always improving. When most people begin to understand the true meaning of sports and regard physical fitness as a normal sports concept, instead of relying on the chicken blood brought by gold medals to stimulate themselves, Tianchao Sports will be truly healthy. .

　　A friend once liked to say that I am a knife-cut tofu with two sides!The good and the bad are up to you!
　　I laughed and said: "A body without self-awareness and cognition is sad. It's either friend or enemy, black or white, and those who can't tolerate third-party viewpoints, or even Nth-party viewpoints, are boring guys."
