Li Qun explained her market development plan in detail to Chamberlain. To open up the Asian market and the global Chinese market, relying solely on his NBA results is not enough. He needs to participate in a higher stage, that is, the Olympics or the World Championships.

Moreover, Chamberlain needs to represent the Chinese, and it is best to join the Chinese team. With his ability, he may sooner or later join the American Dream Team, but in that case, his position among the Chinese people will become very embarrassing, because in the culture accumulated by the Chinese nation over the past 5,000 years, loyalty, courage, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame ranks "loyalty" first.

For Chamberlain, the Beijing Olympics is an unprecedented good opportunity. Using this platform, he can greatly improve his fame and make him one of the top NBA stars in the shortest time, at least in the hearts of Chinese fans.

The Chinese Basketball Association also attaches great importance to this Olympic Games. In the past decade, relying on the efforts of seniors such as Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, Adijiang, and Hu Weidong, the Chinese men's basketball team has been in the top ten in the world and even the quarterfinals, and has monopolized Asia's first place for many years.

But there is no doubt that for such a large China, just putting the men's basketball team in the top ten cannot meet its dignity needs. What they need is the top six, top four, and even the top three in the world.

It may be difficult to achieve this step in the past, but now the Chinese men's basketball team has ushered in a platinum generation. Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming are in their prime. Yi Jianlian has made his mark and may become the first Chinese outside Sun Yue to land on the NBA. Last year, Chamberlain was born again. If he is willing to join the Chinese men's basketball team, the latter will have perhaps the best inside lineup in the world.

Yao Ming center, Chamberlain power forward, Bater substitute center, Wang Zhizhi substitute power forward, and Yi Jianlian, who has turned into a small forward, will not be able to break through China's penalty area. It is not impossible to create unprecedented achievements in history.

The premise of all this is that Chamberlain is indeed willing to join the Chinese men's basketball team, and this is not easy.

China's household registration system is a single nationality, and no one is allowed to have dual nationality. Now Chamberlain is a US nationality, so it is not difficult to make him give up his US nationality and join Chinese nationality, which has nothing to do except blood ties. You should know that in the United States, vilifying China is the focus of the American government's work.

Chamberlain didn't know one thing, that is, the Li Qun family is quite energetic in the Chinese sports circle. The Basketball Association first contacted Li Qun's father, fully inquired and considered Li Qun's suggestions. According to the Basketball Association's intention, they directly sent the main person in charge to meet Chamberlain, so that they could show their sincerity to the greatest extent.

Li Qun rejected this point. The main leaders of the Basketball Association were all fat and big ears full of bureaucratic habits. Chamberlain disliked them and might beat them. Therefore, Cao Hong, as the representative of the young and strong faction within the Basketball Association, got this opportunity to go to war. The reason why this opportunity fell on him was because he was Li Qun's cousin!

"Is there any relative?" Chamberlain was stunned when he heard this. No wonder his father and mother treated Cao Hong so enthusiastically. After all, they were relatives, so they had to treat him well for the sake of their daughter-in-law.

Cao Hong did not regard himself as a cousin. Then the two sides met. He was in a low position and raised the conditions for Chamberlain by the Basketball Association: "Mr. Z, as long as you are willing to join our men's basketball team, then first, the Olympic tactics will be around you and Yao..."

As he said that, Cao Hong looked at Chamberlain and found that the latter was listening carefully, he began to continue saying: "Secondly, every time you represent the Chinese team in an event, the Basketball Association will pay you a hundred thousand US dollars; Third, your domestic activities will definitely receive strong support from the Basketball Association in the future, and I will give the green light in this regard. Whether it is participating in commercial activities or charity activities, I will give the green light; Fourth, your income from the Basketball Association will not interfere with every penny, and if your tax losses are caused by nationality, the Basketball Association will pay the tax; Fifth, during the Olympic Games, your accommodation will be among the highest-level people in the Chinese team. You do not live in the Olympic village, but stay in a hotel, and there will be a separate vehicle to pick you up and drop off, and there will be a specific chef to cook for you..."

Cao Hong said more than a dozen conditions in a row, each of which was full of temptation, and almost treated Chamberlain as the ancestor of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Chamberlain was a little resistant, but after hearing the conditions Cao Hong criticized, his mind changed. As Li Qun said, this was the best condition she used her family energy to win for Chamberlain. If he wanted to have decisive influence in the Chinese world, he had to go on behalf of China, and this was the best opportunity for him to join Chinese nationality.

Seeing Cao Hong take out the Basketball Association's red-headed documents and the contract that had already written all the conditions into, Chamberlain nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then I'll think about it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boss of the Zhang family slapped the table and shouted, "Allen, what else are you thinking about? Promise Director Cao, the reason why your grandfather and I smuggled into the United States from the mainland was because the country was weak and the situation was riots. We thought that the United States, which was independent outside the war, was a paradise, but we were wrong. Do you know what kind of life did your grandfather and I live in the past few decades? No matter how rich we Chinese are, this United States is not our own country after all! Also, your grandfather has always regarded the days when he fled from the mainland as the most shameful moment in his life. Before he died, he could not let go of this matter."

Zhang's father also sighed and said, "Change nationality. If you really can't get used to life in the mainland, you will change your nationality back when you retire. You have to know that no matter how good you join the Dream Team, you will only be a player. But if you join the Chinese men's basketball team, you have the opportunity to create a miracle that will leave your name in history!"

Zhang's father is also a senior fan. Although he didn't know why his son suddenly became so fierce, he had studied Chamberlain's game and knew that his son had the strength to dominate the stadium.

Li Qun held Chamberlain's hand and said, "z, I hope you will join the Chinese men's basketball team. It is not just that you want to use the Basketball Association to help make a name for yourself, but that you want to see you lead the Chinese men's basketball team to create unprecedented glory, and tell the whole world that Chinese people can also dominate the basketball court!"

When Cao Hong saw that Chamberlain was moved, he immediately added another condition: "I heard from my grandfather that his family plans to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors during this year's Olympics. I can guarantee that as long as you arrive in Shandong, you will receive active cooperation from the local government!"

Chamberlain had nothing to say, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, then I promised to join the Chinese men's basketball team."

Cao Hong was suddenly overjoyed. He didn't expect that this trip would be so easy. The Basketball Association had made plans to ignore Chamberlain. Unexpectedly, he persuaded Chamberlain to join the men's basketball team alone. He said in private that Chamberlain's actions showed that he attached great importance to Li Qun's opinions. He said to the kilometer that after completing this task, his future in the Basketball Association was bright.

After spending the Spring Festival at home, Chamberlain gave out red envelopes and the Zhang family was proud in Chinatown. Two days later, Chamberlain returned to the Oracle Training Center.

Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother are reluctant to part with each other. Oakland and San Francisco are just separated by a cross-river bridge. They hope Chamberlain will go home and live.

Chamberlain still insisted on living in a cliff house because it is closer to the stadium. Although he has achieved some achievements and attracted the attention of the domestic basketball association, he did not expand too much. He knew that his other flaws were still flaws, and he also knew that his opponents in the Olympics in the future were so strong. At this time, he had to develop offensive skills. Otherwise, even if he joined the Chinese men's basketball team, it would be a big deal. Not to mention creating a historic miracle, it would be nice to maintain the top eight.

However, Chamberlain was willing to buy another villa for his family in Auckland, but both Zhang's father and Zhang's mother refused. They possessed the virtues of Chinese thrift and were reluctant to live in China Street, which had been around for more than 40 years. They would rather continue to live here and open their small fast food restaurant than go to the strange Auckland to live the so-called aristocratic life.

Although the elderly from the Zhang family were unwilling to leave San Francisco, they followed them to Oakland this time, and they just thought it was coming here for vacation.

This was unimaginable in the past, because the period after the Spring Festival was the best time for restaurant business, and many Chinese families would order food on a large scale. The Zhang family was busiest at this time because of Chamberlain's surgery in middle school, and the debts they owed were not paid off until he entered the NBA.

When he arrived at the training hall, Curry and Thurmond were waiting for him to train. Winnie was studying something with an iPad in her arms. Chamberlain chatted with a few people, and then expressed her intention to join the Chinese men's basketball team.

When Curry and Thurmond heard Chamberlain say that he was going to join the Chinese men's basketball team, Curry and Thurmond did not react much, Winnie's face changed and flatly refused: "No, z, you can't join that men's basketball team!"

"Why?" Chamberlain asked inexplicably, "There are many benefits. The most important thing is that I am a Chinese. I can't play for the Dream Team, right? Even if I want, the Dream Team may not choose me."

There are countless NBA stars. If you want to join the Dream Team, it is not only a competition between players' strength, but also closely related to the sneaker agent, the strength of the club boss behind it and the energy of the head coach. To put it a bit exaggerated, in the United States, if you want to join the Dream Team, you have to get the Nike boss nodded first.

Chamberlain is now Nike's mortal enemy. He successfully promoted Storm Generation on the All-Star. Although the sales scene was behind him, the sales prospects of Storm Generation can be expected.

Winnie said resolutely: "If you can't join the Dream Team, then don't join! Don't you know how much harm you will be to join the Basketball Association? Do you still remember the training plan we made before? If you spend so much energy on the training side during the summer vacation and play those false games, it will drain your energy and destroy your body!"

Chamberlain smiled and said, "You are too worried. Winnie, it doesn't matter. I just play in the Olympics and World Championships. I will not participate in any other Asian Championships or domestic sports games."
