Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the match is about to begin!"

"Let's enjoy the Kirin team's first performance of the new season together!"

The new season began with the Qilin team's first game.

The Warriors, who just moved into their new arena last year, should have been setting sail for a bright future, but for some reason, they have been experiencing constant changes.

During this period, the Warriors were consistently considered one of the weaker teams in the league.

Facing such a weak team, the Qilin team only needed half a game to blow the game out of control and win their first game of the new season.

This season is a season of transition between the old and the new, with many veteran stars either retiring or moving to the sidelines.

The new generation of stars quickly became the league's new darlings.

A large number of outstanding young players emerged, including Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Vince Carter, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and many others.

It was also from this season that the NBA ushered in an era of flourishing diversity.

This season, the Kirin team achieved a regular season record of 73 wins and 9 losses with minimal effort, breaking the regular season record previously held by the Chicago Bulls.

In the playoffs, the Kirin team continued their winning streak, reaching the Finals for the fourth consecutive year. In the Finals, they once again faced the Indiana Pacers led by Reggie Miller, and defeated the Pacers for the second time, sweeping them 4-0 to win the championship.

The 2000 NBA Draft was a weak draft year, and no exceptionally talented players emerged.

This allowed Du Feng, who participated in this year's draft, to smoothly enter the first round and be selected by the Suns with the 27th pick in the first round.

In the 00-01 season, the Qilin team suffered a major injury crisis.

They only managed a 52-30 record in the regular season, ranking 6th in the Western Conference.

However, in the playoffs, the fully healthy Qilin team went on a winning streak and made it to the Western Conference Finals.

However, they battled the Los Angeles Lakers for seven games in the Western Conference Finals, ultimately losing by one point and ending their run in the Western Conference Finals.

This is also the first time Chen Fang has failed to reach the finals since taking over the Qilin team.

After overcoming the formidable challenge of the Qilin team, the Lakers finally won the long-awaited championship.

Just when everyone thought the era of the Kirin team was coming to an end, the Kirin team made a comeback the following year, achieving an astonishing record of 75 wins and 7 losses in the regular season, breaking their own record for regular season wins.

Entering the playoffs, they continued their winning streak, successfully avenging their loss to the Lakers in the second round and advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference Finals, they defeated their old rivals, the San Antonio Spurs, and made it to the NBA Finals again after a year's absence.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, a pattern of Western Conference dominance and Eastern Conference weakness has emerged in the league. As long as a team can break through from the West, they are likely to win the championship.

Especially when facing the Qilin team, no team in the league has a guaranteed victory.

In the finals, the Qilin team once again easily swept their opponent 4-0, and easily lifted the trophy after a year.

In the summer of 02, Zhu Ba and Wang Qi participated in a talent show.

Including these two, there are now six Chinese players in the NBA, giving domestic fans hope for the rise of Chinese men's basketball.

Two years later.

Chen Fang led the Chinese men's basketball blue team to the Athens Olympics.

They advanced to the quarterfinals with a perfect record in the group stage.

In the quarterfinals, they successfully defeated the powerful French team and made history by entering the Olympic semifinals.

For a time, Chen Fang's popularity in China reached its peak.

Subsequently, the Chinese men's basketball team faced Argentina, the 04 Olympic champions, in the semifinals.

Chen Fang led the Chinese men's basketball team to make history once again, defeating Argentina 102-88 to advance to the finals.

The Chinese men's basketball team, having reached the finals, already has an Olympic medal in hand, but who wouldn't want to win gold at this point?

Unfortunately, they faced Kobe Bryant's Dream Team in the finals.

Ultimately, the young Chinese men's basketball team lost to the US Dream Team 96-118 after a hard-fought four quarters, finishing as runners-up.

But they have already achieved the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Everyone believes that the Chinese men's basketball team will be even stronger at the Chinese Olympics four years later.

It's worth noting that the current Chinese men's basketball team has a number of active NBA players, and many more players with the potential to compete in the NBA.

Their outstanding performances on the international stage have made Chinese players increasingly popular in the NBA.

Many teams are starting to pay attention to the Chinese market.

It was at this time that Chen Fang chose to retire gracefully, announcing his resignation as head coach of the Qilin team.

Steve Cole will take over as the new head coach of the Qilin team.

Kerr was an outstanding player during his playing career, so there is some skepticism about his coaching career.

But Chen Fang knew that Kerr had personally created the Warriors dynasty that followed.

With the foundation he laid for Kerr and his accurate player selection, Kerr will surely be able to lead the Kirin team to establish a new dynasty.

After stepping down as head coach, Chen Fang took Shen Jieyi, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, and their children on a world tour.

Indeed, after Shen Jieyi gave birth to a daughter for Chen Fang, Charlize Theron and Jessica Alba also gave birth to a son and a daughter for Chen Fang.

4 years later.

The Chinese Olympics.

Chen Fang, wearing a vest, shorts, and flip-flops, strolled leisurely into the competition venue.

"Coach, you've finally arrived."

Upon seeing Chen Fang, Yao Ming immediately went up to greet him.

"Do I really need to deal with these small fry?"

Yao Ming curled his lip and said, "Coach, you're not here, so who's going to keep these brats in line?"

Chen Fang took off his sunglasses, looked at the players he had personally trained, and roared with a sneer, "You little bastards, trying to rebel?"

Zhu Ba, Wang Qi, and the others chuckled and said, "Coach, welcome back!"

Chen Fang smiled and hugged everyone one by one.

"Give me a good beating in this match, don't hold back."

After speaking, Chen Fang walked towards the US team's bench. Only Kobe Bryant was selected for the US Dream Team among the Qilin team's players.

After hugging and greeting Kobe, Chen Fang said, "Kobe, I won't hold back."

"Come on horseback!"

Upon seeing Chen Fang, the younger generation of players, including James, Anthony, and Bosh, all wondered who the man in front of them was.

"Stop guessing, kids! He's Chen Fang, the man who led the Qilin team to five championships in six years!"

"What, he's Chen Fang?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the disheveled, stubble-covered middle-aged man before them, finding it hard to reconcile him with the image of a legendary coach.

Before leaving, Chen Fang glanced at the Banana Boat brothers, smiled, and made a throat-slitting gesture.

That evening, China played the opening game of the Olympic men's basketball tournament against the United States.

The Chinese men's basketball team ultimately defeated the United States 128-100.

After this battle, the world witnessed the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

And they finally won the Olympic gold medal on their home turf!
