Chapter 284: The Olympics Are Coming Soon (Thank You, Brother De for Rewarding)

If the Spanish men's basketball team only had this incident, then it is good to say, it Chinese can be said that there is an inferiority complex, as soon as they see something related to their nation, they say that it is an insult to China, but before the Spanish athletes went to the Beijing Olympics, they collectively participated in an event, which was also designed with ingenuity, and there are many Chinese elements in it, the problem is that many of these Chinese elements are ridiculing and ridiculing Chinese culture.

For example, there was a skit during the period, and this show model came from China. However, the plot of the sketch has nothing to do with the Chinese, but the scene of the show is set in a Chinese restaurant, and a Chinese runner in Spanish costume is used as a clown and a laughing point to constantly laugh and scold.

The Spanish man who ran the hall wore a Tang costume but had a money rattail pigtail unique to the Qing Dynasty, and a melon skin hat on his head, which looked nondescript. In addition, in order to ignite the laughter of the audience, he did his best to scandalize the Chinese like a clown, not only with strange and exaggerated expressions, but also with frivolous and nonsensical movements, such as shrugging his shoulders, receiving guests with a cat's waist, slapping the buttocks of female customers, and erecting orchid fingers in front of guests.

The most striking thing is that when the Chinese are mentioned during the performance, the Spaniards in the sub-section openly call them "Gilipolla" twice. "Gilipolla" is a common curse word used by Spaniards, translated into Chinese for stupid, fool, idiot, etc., in Spanish profanity, the word is very insulting.

These two things happened to collide together, and as soon as the media reported it in China, it immediately caused an uproar, and the effect was not as simple as 1+1 equaling 2.

Nelson Jr. led the men's basketball team to hold a press conference, originally this press conference had nothing to do with the Spanish men's basketball team, but of course he had to face the media to a press conference when he took office, and the old man Nelson also came, personally pressing for his son, Chamberlain, as his proud disciple, and Yao Ming, as the captain of the men's basketball team, also participated in the press conference.

At first, the press conference also focused on the tactics and lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, although the reporters were worried, but considering that Nelson Jr. is more familiar with Yao Ming and Chamberlain, there is no doubt that he can make better use of these two people, in addition, the old Nelson is a well-known coach in the NBA, and he is helping Nelson Jr. to give advice, and the effect should not be wrong.

Halfway through the press conference, a reporter suddenly stood up and asked Nelson Jr. what he thought of the insult to China involved in the Spanish men's basketball team.

"As we all know, the purpose of the Olympic Games is to 'educate the people of the world through sports activities that do not discriminate and have the Olympic spirit of understanding each other in the spirit of friendship, solidarity and fairness, so as to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and better world'. Since the resumption of the Olympic Games by Monsieur de Coubertin, peace, friendship and development have been the main themes of the Olympic Games, and the Spaniards are completely wrong in doing so, in my opinion, they are provoking the dignity of the Olympic Games, and to put it more seriously, it is that the moment they make this move, they are on the opposite side of humanity! ”

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience applauded one after another, and in the face of such a major right and wrong, they had no other choice. Old Nelson was not surprised that his son would say such a thing with the flavor of Chinese officialdom, in his opinion, his son is very clever, but he has not great wisdom, but small cleverness, which is why old Nelson has always refused to recommend him to other teams as head coaches, and his evaluation of his son is that at most he can be the first assistant coach, and nothing else.

Flying from San Francisco this time, the elder Nelson just didn't worry about his son's tactical command ability, knowing that he was now leading a national team, and it was not a strong team.

Chamberlain later told reporters that he reacted most violently to the behavior of the Spanish men's basketball team, because he lived in a Chinese town since he was a child, went to school in the United States, and found a job, and he suffered from racial discrimination.

Don't look at the United States' vigorous flaunting of democracy, freedom, and non-discrimination, from some angles, they have gone the extra mile in doing these things. Chamberlain didn't know how much he suffered because of his yellow identity since he was a child, the most representative is that when he was in the eighth grade, although his ball skills and ability reached the level of the school's starter, the head coach of the school team just didn't let him enter the school team, the reason was that 'no yellow person is suitable for playing basketball'!

When Cao Nan came to invite him to join the Chinese men's basketball team, the reason why he agreed so happily was not only because Li Qun blew a pillow wind on him, but more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach the American men's basketball team a lesson, tell those who once despised him, and let them know whether the yellow race can become a first-class basketball player.

In the face of reporters' questions, he said categorically: "I will give every bit of strength in my body to let the Spaniards remember this Olympics forever!" We'll see, I'm definitely going to make them pay! ”

The media asked Yao Ming's opinion again, the latter is much more low-key, and he has played against Spain many times in the World War, and he is familiar with the strength of his opponents, so he said ambiguously: "Their actions hurt our friendship with them, I will not show mercy during the game, I will use 200% of my energy to beat them!" ”

Regarding the criticism and accusations from the outside world, most of them are Chinese circles, Pau Gasol, the captain and first main player of the Spanish men's basketball team and the second leader of the Lakers, said that it is a bit "ridiculous" for people to call their behavior of taking that photo "racial discrimination", and he said to reporters aggrievedly:

"We didn't mean that at all, we just did it according to the promoter's request, and it was just for fun, and we didn't mean to offend anyone. If anyone thinks we're offending them, or if we're doing something wrong, I'm sorry about that. ”

Gasol's answer was relayed by the reporter to Chamberlain, who sneered and said: "Do what the propagandists ask?" They're really good babies, so will the propagandists let them die? Also, they think it's fun? Ha Luha, I think it's fun to blow them up! No need to express regrets, we'll see you on the pitch. ”

On the issue of discrimination in the poster, the two men's basketball teams began to meet, but this time it was not on the court, the talented guard of the Spanish men's basketball team, Rubio, is young and vigorous after all, and he has the name of 'Golden Boy' since he was a child, living in praise and flowers, when has he been criticized so much? And Chamberlain opened and closed his mouth to 'burst' them, which angered him, when the Spanish men's basketball team just came to China, he told reporters:

"How strong we are only we know, blow us up? I'm afraid even the Dream Team wouldn't dare say that! What was Chamberlain? He's just played a good season in the NBA, he's so arrogant, I bet someone will teach him a lesson about his rampantness! I would like to be that person if God needed it. ”

Although Rubio's words were magnificent, Carl Delon, who also played in the NBA, was a little scared, and Chamberlain's big killing against the Raptors made him still have palpitations, and he didn't want to see Chamberlain being provoked, because the angry Chamberlain was not playing, but beating people, and according to his understanding of Chamberlain, once he launched a ruthless attack, the entire Spanish men's basketball team may not be able to beat him.

So, CalderΓ³n began to remedy Rubio: "We just posed for the photo at the request of the person who took it, and it felt that there was nothing wrong with it, that it should not be interpreted as a deliberate move, and there is no doubt that some media did not interpret the photo correctly." We have a lot of respect for the Far East and its people, and among my best friends in Toronto are many Chinese, including my sponsor, Li Ning. If anyone were to solve the problem by mistake, it would be a complete misunderstanding and confusion. ”

In fact, it was not only the Spanish men's basketball team that participated in the shooting of similar promotional photos, but also the players of the Spanish women's basketball team and four Argentine women's football teams participated in the shooting of similar photos. However, the Spanish Basketball Federation has declined to comment on the matter for the time being.

There is no need for any comment, Chamberlain and the Chinese men's basketball team are now itching to hate the Spanish men's basketball team, the matter is so big, the Spanish men's basketball team's propaganda photos are still hanging everywhere in the country, the Spanish Basketball Association's explanation, they said that so far they have not received any official protests from China, and according to the plan, those propaganda photos will be hung until the end of the Olympic Games, so they can't take down the photos.

The emergence of the Spanish men's basketball team problem in time diverted the crisis of civil unrest in the Chinese men's basketball team caused by Younas's dismissal, whether it was the Shanghai Gang, the Guangdong Gang or the military faction, they all abandoned their previous prejudices and stood together, and Nelson Jr. seized this opportunity to invite the players to have dinner together a few times and play together a few times, and by the time the Olympics were about to open, the players had been completely pinched into a team.

Nelson Jr.'s expected starting lineup for the men's basketball team is: center Yao Ming, power forward Chamberlain, small forward Zhu Fangyu, organization guard Liu Wei, and scoring guard Wang Shipeng. He placed two other big men on the bench, that is, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, who will unswervingly implement the twin-tower tactics and make full use of the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team.

This is also a way for one, the Chinese men's basketball team is too bad, the old Nelson didn't know about it before, and when he came to China to understand everything, he was dumbfounded, and he said to Chamberlain: "I just choose three starting outside players from the NCAA, all of them are better than these national players of yours!" When Delonti wanted to follow you to become a Chinese citizen, I should really support him! ”

Little Nelson once planned to put Yi Jianlian in the position of small forward, the old Nelson did not hesitate to veto this, Yi Jianlian's physical fitness such as speed, bounce, and explosiveness are top in the inside, but they are absolutely unreliable on the outside, and they need shooters to echo Yao Ming and Chamberlain on the outside, the forbidden area of international basketball is narrow, if the outside line can not be opened, then the inside advantage of the Chinese men's basketball team will have to be lost.

Around this lineup, the men's basketball team began an urgent and orderly joint practice, time passed quickly, August 8, 2008 arrived, the world of Chinese people waited for eight years of prosperity, finally arrived at this moment.
