no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 144 Champion Effect
"We won, we won! Brother Yao!" Xu Yong ran to Yao Ming and shouted excitedly.

champion?Who the hell thinks they can do it!

Even if they win the group stage against the United States, no one will believe it if they tell it.

Including tonight's pre-match, it was nothing more than a beautiful vision of him and Yao Ming.

But they did, really did!
They were already world champions before heading to the London Olympics!
Yao Ming did not respond to him.

At this moment, Xu Yong raised his head and found that Yao Ming was already crying.

Although Yao Ming covered his face with his hands, his trembling shoulders betrayed him.

This was the first time Xu Yong saw Yao Ming cry.

Those were tears of excitement.

There is nothing better than being a man who values ​​the national team the most and can personally bring the national team a championship.

The players of the national team have all rushed to the field, and at this time, cheers and shouts resounded through the stadium.

At this moment, a familiar and exciting music began to sound.

After the players on the field heard it, they stopped to celebrate unconsciously, and then hummed along.

Even Yao Ming put down his hands and sang along with his red eyes.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind~ What a loud victory song~ Singing our dear motherland~ From now on we will be prosperous~"

"Singing the Motherland", this is a song that has left a deep imprint on the hearts of the Chinese people. At this moment, it is also the song that best expresses the mood.

The singing resounded throughout the arena and echoed over the Anatolian plateau.

As for the fans far away in China, I don't know how many people hummed this song with moist eyes.

Champion, the Chinese men's basketball team is the world champion!

How wonderful and incredible that sounds.

But think about the 2004 Olympics. How many people think that Argentina can eventually become the Olympic champion?

The Dream Six team is much stronger than the Dream Nine Team.

The Chinese team has written their own history, and will be known to future generations like Argentina.

Perhaps because of their age, they will not be the "golden generation" of the Chinese team, but they are the strongest national team in history!
When the song fell, the players of the men's basketball team raised their hands to greet the audience.

Tonight's championship is inseparable from the support of these fans who traveled thousands of miles away.

"Team China! Awesome!"

I don't know who raised his voice and shouted.

This caused a burst of whistles and cheers at the scene, and the men's basketball players also laughed.

Kind accent.

The Chinese language is extensive and profound, and the two most frequently used words, one is shit and the other is awesome, and these are cultural characteristics that foreigners cannot understand.

At this time, there was a post-match handshake on the field.

"I learned the team from you tonight." Durant was full of respect when he shook hands with Xu Yong.

He wasn't being rude about losing, he was saying things that a real basketball player would say.

Just as he knew that he had fallen into Xu Yong's trap last time, he also knew that the Chinese team would win tonight. The biggest reason was that Xu Yong spared no effort in defending him.

In other words, Xu Yong completed the "exchange" with him, but this exchange, apart from the difficulty, is also about sacrifice and teamwork.

How many top scorers of the team are willing to give up scoring to mark the opponent's top scorer?
Not to mention Kobe, Kobe can't do it either, Xu Yong is the only one.

This guy just wants to win tonight. Is there any reason why such a guy should not be respected?
"See you in the NBA." After expressing his respect, Durant issued a new promise to Xu Yong.

If you can't get it in the international arena, you can only get it back in the NBA.

"See you in the NBA." Xu Yong also responded generously.

After the handshake ceremony, the cheers of the fans on the scene sounded again.

The players of the Chinese team also turned around and continued to wave to the fans.

"How wonderful." Sun Yue couldn't help but said at this moment.

Xu Yong smiled when he heard this, and then turned to look at Yao Ming.

Yes, how wonderful.

At the beginning, he persuaded Yao Ming to lose weight. Their goal was always the London Olympics, but they did not expect that they would reach the top in Turkey.

For Yao Ming, his wish in the international arena may have been fulfilled ahead of schedule.

Next, it's time for their NBA trip.

And he inexplicably thought of Kobe.

Back then, Kobe led his team to win the championship after returning to the NBA after winning the championship in the BJ Olympics, and he still won two as soon as he won.

Although there is no direct connection between the two, such successful cases will always make people look forward to the new season.

They then went back to the locker room and changed into the jackets to receive the award. When they came back, the award platform had already been set up.

The national flags of the three countries have also been hung on the flag-raising platform, waiting for the awarding ceremony to begin.

Before the medals are officially awarded, there is a competition MVP and best team selection.

赛会的MVP最后给到了中国队的徐永，他9场比赛场均贡献21.8分5板3助攻1.7抢断1.2盖帽，投篮命中率高达51.2%，三分球命中率40.5%。

Although his stats were not pretty in the final due to his obsession with Durant, the judges obviously understand the ball and know what is the key to the Chinese team's victory, especially Xu Yong also scored 12 points in the last 8 of the Chinese team, which is well deserved .

And Yao Ming, who finished the final blow, was selected into the best team of the World Championships together with Xu Yong, Durant, Turkoglu and Scola by virtue of his average performance of 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.

When the selection of the best team is over, the last thing to be done is the award ceremony.

First on stage was bronze-medal Turkey, who beat Lithuania in an earlier three- and four-place final.

Although there are some regrets, winning the medal is already a breakthrough for the host.

So when they got on the podium, the audience gave them the warmest cheers.

The Turkish team members also smiled and waved to the fans, and they were all smiling when they received the bronze medal.

After the bronze medal comes the silver medal.

Contrary to what many people imagined, the members of the US team were also very happy, and many of them posed in various poses after winning the silver medal.

This is understandable. You must know that these people themselves are a group of newcomers. Without Xu Yong's eyes, this team can be considered a success if they can win the silver medal.

As for not being able to win the championship or something, this question should not be asked to them, but to those superstars who participated in the training camp but quit one after another.

Therefore, the result of this World Championships is really a happy one.

The last one to take the stage was the Chinese team.

"It was the Chinese team that won the 2010 World Championships."

When the on-site host announced the result, the Chinese team members held hands with each other, and then shouted 123 and jumped onto the podium together.

There was another burst of overwhelming cheers at the scene.

The official announcement moment is exciting.

After receiving the gold medal, the team members were cautious and couldn't put it down.

For most of them, this is the pinnacle moment of their lives, bar none.

The young player Guo Ailun was even more excited. Except for the garbage time in the group stage, he had some playing time, and he has been sitting on the sidelines since then. This gold medal can be said to be a winner in life.

After everyone got the medals, the host led everyone to stand up and began to play the Chinese national anthem.

"Arise, you who will not be slaves..."

Accompanied by the melody of the March of the Volunteers, the national flags of the three countries were slowly raised, and the Chinese flag was on top, the most dazzling red.

This moment is the happiest moment for basketball fans.

……

"What are your plans for the future?" Yao Ming turned to Xu Yong and asked on the way back to the locker room after the awards ceremony.

Unlike before, in addition to their relationship as teammates on the national team, they also have an additional layer of relationship as teammates.

"What about you?" Xu Yong didn't rush to answer, but asked instead.

"I'm going to rest in Shanghai for a while."

"It's good. After the battle is over, you should rest more. After you rest, you can do something big next season." Xu Yong nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, you still have to look for a house in Chicago, right? Remember to look for me then." Xu Yong added after thinking about it.

"Just the kind of house you chose in the city center? Forget it, I don't think I've lost a lot of money." Yao Ming shook his head.

Xu Yong laughed out loud when he heard it, and didn't say anything more. After all, Brother Ross just took care of him, and there was no need to take care of Yao Ming.

Besides, Yao Ming must be very proficient in these things after being in the league for so many years. Besides, if there are people from Yao's team, he shouldn't have to worry about it.

"You haven't mentioned your future plans yet?" Yao Ming reminded.

"Me, I'm going to go to Tempe first, find a trainer and start putting on weight."

"Now?" Yao Ming stopped when he heard it, and looked at Xu Yong in surprise.

"Well, the time is indeed a bit tight, and it will probably continue until the middle of the season, but in the new season I will appear more at the small forward position, which requires me to do that." Xu Yong explained.

He would say this not only because of the inference after seeing the team signed Tony Allen, but also because Thibodeau had briefly chatted with him about this issue after the previous game.

Yao Ming didn't say much when he heard this, he just patted Xu Yong on the shoulder, and then the two continued to walk forward.

For them, everything they do now, or everything they look forward to most now, is the NBA championship.

Just don't know if they will finally be able to do it, or when they will be able to do it.

……

On the second day after the end of the World Championships, the national team left Turkey in the farewell of a group of overseas Chinese.

No matter what their respective arrangements are in the follow-up, but now they have to follow the national team to participate in the domestic celebration banquet, which cannot be escaped.

When Xu Yong was about to take a rest, Guo Ailun suddenly ran up to him.

"Brother, Brother Xu, I have something to do." Guo Ailun came over speaking in Northeast dialect.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yong replied solemnly.

It is said that Northeast dialect is the most misleading language in the world, and it really does not lie.

"I received an invitation from the European club. The Greek one is called Panasin. I can't remember the name, but it's pretty good." Guo Ailun explained.

"Panathinaikos?" This Greek giant Xu Yongzhong had heard of it before his death.

"Yes, that's the name, people say it looks good." Guo Ailun couldn't help getting more excited when he heard that Xu Yong knew it.

"What do you think?" Xu Yong looked at Guo Ailun seriously for a while, and unconsciously remembered what Xu Jiming said before. If Europe needs a pioneer, no one is more suitable than Guo Ailun.

Guo Ailun is young and talented, but he has never learned how to play smartly. If he can improve this point in Europe, he will be able to help the national team in the future.

"It's not that I'm out of ideas, because the club should put me in the first team if I go back, I..."

"Xiao Guo." Xu Yong interrupted Guo Ailun, "What matters is not what the club is like, but what you think. If you want to play in Europe, I believe the club will definitely support you. After all, you will benefit from returning to China in the future. It’s still a club.”

Xu Yong's words are very reasonable. At this time, Guo Ailun is still just a fledgling, and the Liaoning team has not yet said that he must take over as a young player.

And even if Guo Ailun goes to Europe, it is impossible to continue playing there. Then when he returns to China, a strong European-style defender will not help the team more than a young player?
This is the same as Wang Zhizhi and the future Yi Jianlian.

"Okay, Brother Xu, I understand." After all, Guo Ailun was young and didn't have so many worries. After he figured it out, he had already made a decision.

"Wait a minute." Xu Yong took out a business card from his arms and handed it to him, "This person is engaged in foreign trade, and he was also a sponsor of our warm-up match before. He intends to sponsor our domestic team to play in Europe. Yes, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go to Greece, you can go to other places, you can contact him if necessary.”

"Thank you Brother Xu!" Guo Ailun happily accepted the business card.

When Guo Ailun sat back, Xu Yong couldn't help thinking more.

It is impossible for Panathinaikos to find Guo Ailun suddenly, which obviously has something to do with the Chinese team winning the championship.

Or it can be understood as the championship effect of the World Series.

Just like Nocioni was signed by the Bulls after the Argentine team won the Olympic Games.

Guo Ailun may be just the beginning.

……

Before the Chinese team returned to China, the news of winning the championship had spread wildly in China.

The world champion of men's three major goals, this level of shock is absolutely unprecedented.

This is no longer a matter of being on CCTV, but a carnival for the whole people. Basketball has been the hottest topic in China in the past few days.

One of the most intuitive phenomena is that the number of people playing in the field has increased sharply. Those who are usually unable to come out because of their busy work seem to be not busy at work all of a sudden.

Moreover, there was a scene on the wild field that was rarely seen before, that is, many people came to play in the jerseys of the national team.

That's right, the national team has jerseys for sale, but in the past most people bought them as treasures, but now, wearing a national team jersey is more ostentatious than wearing any NBA star's jersey.

After all, during this period, the national team's jerseys have been sold out.

The hot search words on the Internet, the video of the Chinese team in the World Championships, especially the video of the final, the number of hits is increasing by hundreds of millions.

The 12 members of the national team are more friendly than the Rockets players, and their nicknames have already been arranged.

In addition to the known ones, such as "China Team Victory Cigar" Su Wei, "No. 7 Kobe" Wang Shipeng, "Eighth Generation Heir of Japanese Chongquan" Zhu Fangyu, "Chasing the Wind Old Boy" Wang Zhizhi, etc., they emerged endlessly and spread rapidly. .

In the major media, slogans such as "men's basketball spirit" and "learn from men's basketball" have emerged in an endless stream.

Of course, it is not just the basketball circle that is affected at this time. In the latest draft show, a rookie artist held a basketball and said in front of the judges that he was good at singing, dancing, rap and basketball, and then showed off after dribbling. , it caught fire at once.

This is the enthusiasm of basketball during this period, in the true sense: standing in the air, sows can fly.

So when the men's basketball players returned to China and got off the plane, the congestion at the airport was worse than when Xu Yong returned to China.

Everyone in the men's basketball team is the greatest hero in China at this moment.

……

After attending the celebration banquet and the fan meeting, Xu Yong immediately prepared to leave for the United States.

As he and Yao Ming said, if he wants to gain weight, the time left for him is very tight.

But he hadn't left yet, but someone happened to want to go with him.

Sun Yue is also planning to go to Phoenix, because several NBA teams have sent him invitations for trial training, including the Suns.

It seems that Xu Yong's previous judgment was correct. According to Sun Yue, not only did he play well in the World Championships this time, but he also regained his confidence. Maybe he still has a chance to stay in the NBA.

When they arrived in Phoenix, the two were about to separate.

"Come on." Xu Yong encouraged him before leaving, and this was the greatest encouragement he could give Sun Yue.

He knows Sun Yue's situation. It's not like what many fans said. If you can't play in the NBA, you can't play in the Development League. People and Aoshen have a long-term contract. If you can't play in the NBA, you can only go back to Aoshen. .

And what about Oshen?You can only play exhibition games in the United States and tourist teams.

So for Sun Yue, he doesn't actually have much choice.

When Xu Yong arrived in Tempe, Harden and the others were still training there.

"Look, our champion is back!" When they saw him again, the few of them booed.

"Xu, let me see your gold medal." Harden shouted impatiently.

When he saw Xu Yong's gold medal, Harden couldn't help but envy him.

"Wait, I'm going to London to get mine back in two years." Harden said vowedly.

"By the way, Xu, someone was waiting for you here two days ago." DeRozan reminded.

"Who?" Xu Yong was full of doubts, besides the brothers, was there anyone waiting for him?
"He said he was done with his family," DeRozan relayed.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed happily.

If he wants to gain weight, he will definitely need to find a trainer, because he can't do this professional aspect himself.

No, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, his Tim Grover is here!
