At eight o'clock in the morning, players arrived at the training hall of the China Men's Basketball Team one after another.
This is the routine training of the national team men's basketball team every morning, especially since the start of the group stage, such training has never been absent.
As usual, head coach Xu Lei stood at the door of the training hall waiting for all the players to arrive.
He has always been strict about training. If a player hesitates for one minute, he will give the opponent an extra penalty circle, and if it takes one more minute, it will be doubled.
In this regard, even nephew Xu Haoran and the top nephew Xin Yong are no exception.
Therefore, the two never dared to slack off in training.
"Hello, coach!"
"Morning! Coach Xu!"
The players greeted each other one by one and started to warm up. Head coach Xu Lei also responded accordingly.
The latest time he set is 8:10. Once this time is exceeded, no matter who it is, he will be punished!
But at this time, there were only 3 or 4 minutes left before the end of time, and two players still did not show up.
Coach Xu Lei couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, then raised his right hand and looked at his watch, and couldn't help but mutter, "What are these two bastards Xin Yong and Haoran doing? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Could it be that these two guys went to play somewhere last night? Did they oversleep now?"
Just when coach Xu Lei was about to provide a "wake-up call service," a familiar figure appeared in front of him. The person who came was none other than his nephew Xu Haoran.
Xu Haoran trotted all the way here, not even fully dressed, and there were water stains everywhere on his face.
"Hurry up, hurry up...what are you dawdling about?"
"What did you do last night?"
As coach Xu Lei said, he planned to lift his foot and give Xu Haoran a kick in the butt.
This is his own nephew! It’s what I watched growing up, and it’s what I brought out from childhood! When it's time to kick, coach Xu Lei will never be weak!
Xu Haoran also noticed Coach Xu Lei's raised feet. He covered his buttocks with a sneer and rushed into the training hall, "Uncle...don't be anxious. Isn't it time yet? I don't count." be late......"
Coach Xu Lei was angry and laughing, "You bastard...why didn't Xin Yong come? Did you go out together last night?"
"Huh? Xin Yong hasn't come yet?"
Xu Haoran was also surprised, "He used to train earlier than me! Most of the time, he woke me up... I came late today just because he didn't wake me up. I thought this guy was early arrive......."
Hearing what his nephew said, coach Xu Lei suddenly felt something was wrong.
He knew what kind of temper Xin Yong had. Although he was a bit arrogant on weekdays, most of the time he acted rationally and his attitude towards training was quite upright.
From the perspective of a CBA professional player, his attitude and behavior are completely fine.
"What happened to this kid?"
"Why haven't you come yet?"
At the same time, a video is spreading wildly on Chinese social media. The video was uploaded to the outside world by a person named Son of the Universe, and then reposted by domestic basketball fans.
In just half a day, the click rate of this video exceeded tens of millions, and it spread like a virus in a very short period of time.
“Video of the core guard of the Chinese men’s basketball team being brutally tortured by Kimchi national player Mikal on the wild court...”
"Kimchi foreign aid Mikal beat the core of the men's basketball team? The core of the men's basketball team who lost actually climbed out of the court? Is this a bet or a humiliation?"
"3 to 1! Mikal, the core of the Kimchi Men's Basketball Team, won too easily... The main guard of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team climbed out of the court. Whose face did he embarrass?"
Various headlines quickly appeared, and countless sports self-media also reprinted it.
Soon, fans on the Internet figured out the ins and outs, and also knew that the main guard of the China Men's Basketball Team in the title was Xin Yong.
Xin Yong's appearance rate is quite high, especially in those warm-up matches.
As a result, the fans also exploded and started talking about this matter.
"Xin Yong was abused by the foreign aid of the stick? Did he crawl out of the stadium? Damn it! What the hell is this? It's just a foreign aid of the stick and he was humiliated by the opponent? Or did he crawl out?"
"Fuck you uncle, Xin Yong has not only lost his own face, but also the face of all of us Chinese people... Don't bet with the other party if you can't beat him. Now the whole world knows about it. This kid has completely embarrassed our Chinese basketball team..."
"Climb out? You climb out when he asks you to? Xin Yong, why the hell don't you dare to fight with him? Damn, I'm so angry. I can't even beat a foreign aid. Xin Yong, what the hell are you doing? Food? Waste! What is the use of the national team raising you?"
Fans who learned the truth were furious, and countless people insulted and ridiculed the incident online.
Xin Yong's personal social media account was also quickly taken over, and his comment area was filled with all kinds of abusive messages.
There are even many fans who have lost their minds and sent him private messages, using all kinds of unpleasant words to greet him and his family.
Almost overnight, Xin Yong became the target of beatings.
There was an uproar on the Internet in China, and many people also saw this video on the Internet abroad. There were also many jeers from fans from other countries, but most of them were watching the fun. The most excited ones were the fans from Kimchi Country.
They have been confronting Chinese fans on the Internet a lot before, especially when it comes to stealing Chinese culture. These kimchi country sticks are quite eccentric.
It was not easy to win an argument in the past. After all, there is no confidence in stealing, but it is different now. Mikal Glenn's defeat of Xin Yong really happened, and there was no embarrassment. This simply made people crazy. The Kimchi people found a reason to attack.
"Chinese basketball is a piece of shit... We just sent out a random player and defeated their main force... At this level, you still want to beat us in the quarterfinals? Are you kidding me?"
"A guy like this is still the main force of the Chinese men's basketball team? Come on! It seems that the Chinese men's basketball team is no different from the men's football team! Suddenly I feel that fighting against such an opponent is an insult to us..."
"Who crawled out of the stadium like a dog? Hahaha, this guy is so funny... He has disgraced all the Chinese people... It's a pity that Mikal is not ruthless enough. Otherwise, the guy who loses should really let him get under his crotch..."
The fans from Kimchi Nation attacked and abused wildly, and many Chinese fans who couldn't stand it also fought back.
"So what if we lose? At least our people dare to do what they do. Compared with some guys who steal the country, they are still too qualified... Some countries can do nothing but steal other people's culture... ....."
"Shut up, you guys, what right do you have to laugh at us? What does that guy named Mikal have to do with you? He is simply an American player, but he was dragged over by you..."
"Xin Yong is nothing but a core defender. He is just a younger brother. Our core is Zhao Feiyang... Why don't you guys dare to find someone to play singles with Zhao Feiyang if you are so awesome? If you have the guts to do it with him! Just Zhao Feiyang Feiyang alone can beat the shit out of your entire team..."
The two sides started a crazy war of words on this topic, and things developed in an even more difficult to control direction.
However, regardless of the outcome of the scolding battle, for Chinese fans, it is an indisputable fact that Xin Yong lost to the opponent.
Therefore, after scolding the Kimchi Chinese, more excited fans turned their guns completely towards Xin Yong.
Beirut.
In the hotel where the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team is staying.
In the evening, head coach Xu Lei could finally rest after a busy day. After eating, he went back to the hotel room to wash up briefly as usual. After cleaning up for a while, he turned on his computer and browsed the news as usual.
This is his habit and one of the ways he pays attention to domestic public opinion.
However, this time, before he even watched the news, a familiar phone number called him. The person who called was very angry, and coach Xu Lei knew from the tone of his voice that the other person was very angry.
"Where is Xin Yong?"
Xin Guotao on the other end of the phone didn't have any extra words and only asked coldly.
Xu Lei was a little confused and didn't know what happened. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking for Xin Yong?"
"What's wrong? Don't you, a head coach like you, not even read the news? The special code has been spread all over the country for a long time. What do you do for a living?"
"You didn't stop this kid from messing around? And you didn't tell me if something happened? What should the labor and management do now? What should the national team do?"
Xin Guotao rarely gets angry.
As his old buddy, Xu Lei knew the other party's temper very well.
Now that the other party is so angry, something serious must have happened.
"Lao Xin, don't worry! I really don't know what happened. I led the players to train on and off all day today and have been preparing for tomorrow's game!"
"That kid Xin Yong... I don't know why he didn't come to training today? I asked someone to ask, and they said he had been resting in the room. I thought the kid was tired, so I didn't go. Find him..."
Coach Xu Lei explained for a while.
Xin Guotao on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense and quickly sent an email to coach Xu Lei's mailbox.
A few minutes later, Xu Lei opened the email and checked it carefully. When he saw the video of Xin Yong being humiliated, his face suddenly turned livid.
"when did it happen?"
Xu Lei's voice was trembling.
Xin Guotao's tone on the other end of the phone was low, "It should only be a day or two... If the kid loses, he loses. Why hasn't something like this been filmed yet?"
"Now the Internet is full of voices mocking him and our national team... The Sports Bureau just called me..."
"Old Xu, this matter is not simple. I am afraid that Xin Yong's situation in the national team will not be easy in the future... We attach great importance to this matter and it has already had a serious impact on the honor of our national team... ..This time, even I can't protect him..."
