That night, Chen Mu and Lao Hu met in the restaurant, and after enjoying the highest standard athlete meal in China, they were taken by Lao Hu and took a circle around the venue.

In the men's basketball game of the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese team's game is naturally the most eye-catching, and the training venues are all first-class standards.

In the NBA, Chen Mu's most impressive venue is not only Vajovia, the home of the 76ers, but also the locker room and training venue of the Dallas Mavericks.

To say that Cuban has such and such problems, it is indeed true that he is a boss with a mixed reputation. But in Chen Mu's view, Cuban's obsession and love for basketball, as well as the kindness of players, even away players, are definitely nothing to say.

The home court of the Mavericks belongs to the kind of player who will make a "wow" sound after coming, and then there is a faint urge in his heart to "do you want to find a chance to fight for the Mavericks".

A good stadium can give players more concentration and better training results, which sounds like putting the cart before the horse, but in Chen Mu's eyes today, it is definitely the truth.

And the venues prepared for the Beijing Olympics, even if they are training venues, reflect enough sincerity, which makes Chen Mu give a thumbs up when he sees it, linger in the stadium with Lao Hu, and even practice with the ball for a short while, and finally leave reluctantly.

"It's really better than before!"

After leaving the training hall, Chen Mu turned back step by step, and kept looking back at the situation of the venue, very reluctant.

"That is, times have changed, and the thoughts and ideas of my old antique. It doesn't have to work. Lao Hu spoke with a sense of vicissitudes.

"If the CBA venues are all of a good level, it's also good to play in the CBA!" Chen Mu couldn't help nodding.

"That's because you haven't tried the devil training I prepared for you, and when the time comes, I will see how you linger, haha!" Lao Hu laughed.

"Don't make a fuss, how can a video analyst set up a special training program for me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid so easy to deceive? Chen Mu patted Lao Hu on the shoulder.

“…… I'm going to kill you. Lao Hu gritted his teeth.

With Lao Hu walked for a while. While feeling the vastness of the Olympic Village, Chen Mu wondered if it would be overcrowded like other places in China when all the athletes from all over the world arrived.

As an athlete, it's a great experience to be able to participate in the Olympics once in a lifetime......!

"Here we are."

After walking for a long time, Chen Mu and Lao Hu came to a relatively secret aisle, and the entrance of this aisle was marked with the words "Chinese men's basketball team". At a glance, you can see that this is the base camp of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games.

"Seventeen people are here?" Chen Mu asked.

"Except for Yao Ming, it's all here." Lao Hu nodded.

"Go in and have a look?"

"Look at your size, stinky boy, I'm waiting for you!" Lao Hu kicked Chen Mu's ass and almost didn't flash his waist.

In Chen Mu's hurried shouting, in the frolic of the old man grinning and scolding Chen Mu angrily, and supporting his waist with one hand, the two pushed open the door of the preparation room.

The room was full of people, and a large long table was surrounded by tall athletes. At the front was the coaching staff, and the working group by the door saw Chen Mu and Lao Hu coming. He immediately got up and waved to everyone in the room.

"Chen Mu is here!"

"Welcome Chen Mu back to the team!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Well done, boy!"

"Isn't Lao Tzu human?? Not at all to welcome me?? ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you leaders and seniors!"

Ignoring Lao Hu's half-joking shouting, Chen Mu walked into the house, greeted a familiar or unfamiliar teammate with a spring breeze, and looked up at the three seats closest to the coaching staff. One was already sitting, and two were empty.

"Chen, this way."

A very serious-looking foreign old man sat at the front, and when he saw Chen Mu coming, he obviously knew Chen Mu's background information. The opening is English.

"Chen Mu, the coach made you ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Without waiting for the translator to say the coach's semantics, Chen Mu himself had already run forward, said hello to the head coach, and then sat down in an empty seat.

Chen Mu has been in the NBA for three years, and this simple sentence still needs to be translated?

In this way, the slight advantage in language comprehension is also one of my killer features......!

Chen Mu felt that this run-in training would not seem to be as difficult as he imagined.

"Then, the seventeen people who have come to the training center have all arrived, except for Yao Ming, the eighteen-member list of the Chinese men's basketball team is sitting in this conference room."

The head coach of the Chinese team, Younas, a famous coach in Lithuania, has a rigorous coaching style, a neat and crisp personality and courage, and the words he said are not quite understandable to some players who have little contact with foreign coaches, but Chen Mu does not sound the slightest difficulty in understanding.

“HEY。”

Opposite Chen Mu, Yi Jianlian also nodded slightly and said hello to Chen Mu.

English should be pretty good, right? Chen Mu looked at the United Arab Emirates, nodded and smiled.

"Big man, don't call me when you go home."

Not far from Chen Mu's side, Chen Jianghua opened his mouth to say a word, and waved his hand to Chen Mu with a smile.

"It's jet lag, haha." Chen Mu responded in a low voice and made an apologetic gesture to Chen Jianghua.

Chen Mu and Chen Jianghua participated in the Asian Youth Championships together, and later participated in the World Youth Championships. Although they play in different leagues, they are similar in age and have worked together for many years, so they have always had a good relationship with each other. Chen Mu invited Chen Jianghua to come to the United States to play many times, but the young man also worked hard, and he trained frantically during the holidays, but he never made the trip.

Now, for the third year in a row, Chen Mu and Chen Jianghua want to fight side by side, in terms of tacit understanding, there is no one between the two, and they are naturally very happy to meet.

"Next thing I want to announce is that it may be a little sudden for you, but the time is already very tight, and I have basically seen your strength and potential during this period of training, so it is time to announce it."

Younas's next sentence made everyone nervous.

It seems that it is time to lay off employees.

The list of eighteen people, in the end, only twelve can make it to the real competition list and compete in the Olympics. This means that six people will leave the team before the official start of the Olympic Games.

According to the previous plan, the team roster was adjusted from 30 to 18 people, and then the roster of 18 people has been training together since early 2008 and participating in various warm-up games. The coaching staff will make the final decision based on the individual performance of the players and their adaptation to the tactics to be executed.

After a warm-up match in March, the team said that it would carry out the next round of personnel adjustments in mid-to-late June to basically determine the final list.

Now, the time has come.

According to Younas, this adjustment seems to be a surprise attack, and the team members were not told in advance.

This can also be seen from the blank expressions on the faces of the players.

It's so cruel when it comes up?

Chen Mu was also stunned, and looked back at the people in the room, although he did not have contact with too many national adult players after the crossing, but as a super basketball fan, Chen Mu can still recognize these top stars in China.

Coupled with the memory of the 2008 Olympic Games on the original timeline, Chen Mu has a rough idea of who will be eliminated and who will stay.

Chen Jianghua and Yi Jianlian are basically safe, both in terms of personal combat strength and importance to the team, they are indispensable members, and the probability of staying is basically 100%.

There is also Wang Zhizhi in a similar situation, although his athleticism is declining, but Dazhi's basketball IQ, field vision, and technical and tactical level are all not black, and he is an important firepower point on the bench of the Chinese team.

Liu Wei, Yao Ming's teammate and good brother during the Shanghai team, not to mention that he is basically the top point guard skills in China, just say that his familiarity and tacit understanding of Yao Mingzhi's style of play can basically be sure that he will be left behind.

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, the strongest combat power of the Mesozoic Era in the second and third positions in China, and Yi Jianlian are also teammates in the CBA, and the relationship is irreversible.

Sun Yue, although due to inexplicable reasons and various power games, the best skills were wasted on the field that is not the top, but his talent, especially the defensive and organizational ability of the wings, is an indispensable asset for the national team.

Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhang Qingpeng, are also national players, CBA gods, in terms of strength, there is definitely the capital to stay.

Then, there are Wang Lei, Liu Xiaoyu, Zhou Peng, Xu Yong, Li Xiaoxu, Ding Jinhui, and Zhang Kai.

In Chen Mu's memory, Wang Lei was finally selected in the original timeline, and his athleticism, breakthrough shooting skills, and hard work on the defensive end are all puzzle players needed by the national team.

If I am not mistaken, Chen Mu remembers that Wang Lei suffered a serious injury of a torn cruciate ligament in 2004, and after that, he was reborn and played a wonderful performance, which can be seen in the efforts of the young man.

This time, can Wang Lei still stay? Will Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhang Qingpeng and others compete for the last seat with Wang Lei?

The other players are a little more tender for the time being, but will someone suddenly change the previous timeline?

In Chen Mu's expectation, Younas spoke. (To be continued.) )
