The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 259 A new starting point!

Obviously, it is not just our compatriots who are far away in the Dragon Kingdom who are counting down.

In fact, Lin Dong, who was standing on the court with the ball in his hand, was counting the ten numbers silently in his heart.

10!

The image of his defeat in the previous World Championships came to his mind. The blond German chariot pulled him up from the ground and gave him the courage to stand up again.

The black man with the vicissitudes of life written all over his face constantly taught him in the gym how to adapt to the weakest confrontations between Dragon Nation players, taught him how to make sharper breakthroughs and changes of direction, and would also pull him out to fuck him when he was at his lowest point. Watching movies together...

He finally stood on the court again, facing the strong teams of the NCAA, with the guidance of Sun Yuesun, the commentator of Wang Shipeng... a lot of encouragement from his seniors, the support of his teammates...

Suffering from a serious illness, he received various letters from fans all over the country, including help and donations from adults, encouragement and cheer from peers, as well as folded love and handwritten postcards from young children... from the bottom of this nation. The most unpretentious warmth and care rekindled his desire amidst the extreme reaction and darkness of chemotherapy, and he looked forward to the arrival of dawn again and again.

Day after day of training, inner doubts about his own strength at that moment, and worries about whether he could return to the top made him anxious and sleepless.

That's the thing about competitive sports, there's no permanent winner.

He saw the streets of Japan in 2000, the Shoyo Arena that still made him smile when he thought about it, and Fujima's words, 'I want to see how you destroyed my confidence.' .

We are world championships champions!

Some people are happy when they win, while others cry when they lose.

His consciousness seemed to be brought back to the scene. The cheers and countdown sounds in the stadium were synchronized with his own countdown. Sakuragi and others in the stands were so excited that they were like a group of demons dancing around. Lao Lin, the old man and a group of elders who came from the Dragon Kingdom Lin Dong's face was also flushed with excitement. Lin Dong could even imagine that in that distant country, he could feel that there were countless people who seemed to be connected to his heart at this moment.

It was on the streets of Yokohama. After worrying about it for half a year, he finally saw his current strength clearly in that high-level duel and saw his future being more brilliant than in his previous life.

Lao Li's invitation comes from the call of the nation that gave birth to him and raised him. Although this nation still has all kinds of imperfections, and has all kinds of weird things that make people criticize and make people speechless, he understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. , no civilization in this world is perfect, but there is the imprint of 5000 years of civilization and the grace of birth, and there are more than a billion people's heart-to-heart ties. Although they do not fight for a certain leader or an organization, they No matter what, he wanted to fight for that nation, but in the end, he, a wanderer, decided to return home without hesitation.

………………

Lin Dong had secretly vowed at that time that the World Championships would be a perfect proof that he would win even if he died!

1!

The anxiety lurking in his heart before the Nike summit, after all, he was about to face the strongest group of super giants in the world in the future, but the highlight of a game shocked the world. From that moment on, Lin Dong knew that he was far away. It has surpassed the past and has already broken the limiter stuck on Asians. However, those guys who look down on Asians from the bottom of their hearts are clamoring that it is the credit of European players. The yellow race will never be able to defeat the powerful United States. Just like the so-called ancient civilization that has been in ruins for three hundred years and is still in poverty.

we won!

Won!

It wasn't until Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and others rushed onto the field crazily to hug him and jump up and down, and the cheers of reality finally woke him up from his imagination, Lin Dong realized that his eyes were already a little moist.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was only one computer still shining in the hotel's computer room.

A tall figure sat in front of the computer, almost blending in with the dark computer room next to it. His big black hand was slowly clicking and sliding on the mouse.

Displayed on the screen are countless information from various forums and websites related to the case, as well as information from countless Internet users.

——We were all deceived by that guy. This stupid person not only lost the game, but also ruined the glory of the competition!

- Oh, I hate LeBron, that guy was so pretentious in school! I feel like he prefers hanging out with white people than with his compatriots!

——How can such a man become a son of Ohio? Is he worthy? I never admitted it anyway!

——How is the guy who lost 20? Has the money been remitted? Haha, I know th Street is already targeting him. You know, this is going to be a bloody case!

——You don’t watch the news, right? He paid generously, and then made it clear that he would never watch LeBron's games from now on. If he wanted to watch them, he would watch Dong Lin's games!

——Oh my God, that Asian guy suddenly has a lot of fans. I heard that he is going to Lakeside High School. Now a lot of people are waiting for his NSAA debut. I think he has LeBron to thank.

——LeBron is miserable, hahaha. St. Mary's High School doesn't know if they want him. I heard that their school's basketball team is considering finding another No. 3 position.

He continued to slide and browse subconsciously until he heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the computer room.

"I've searched everywhere. Let's have a look in the computer room."

It was Wade's voice, and Anthony's: "They are just two criminals. I don't think LeBron did it entirely on purpose. What's the big deal? There are more vicious fouls than this on the streets of Brooklyn!" Listen When the footsteps got closer and closer, LeBron quickly turned off the computer monitor, then subconsciously lay down in the darkness, using the screen to block it and remained motionless.

The door to the computer room was pushed open, and you could feel the light coming from the corridor, and there were also people stopping at the door.

"It's dark, not here. That guy likes to be bright wherever he goes." Wade said, shaking his head.

"Ha, when you say it, I think of my Argentinian girl. That is the brightest bar I have ever seen! Hehehe, maybe that guy went out to drink. Hey, Tokyo is so big, this is not good try to find."

"...I can only wait until he comes back tomorrow. I hope he still remembers the flight back to China tomorrow morning."

"It's really inconvenient not to have a phone..."

The sound of the door closing was accompanied by retreating footsteps and gradually inaudible conversations.

It wasn't until the sound completely disappeared that LeBron dared to straighten up.

——That guy likes bright places wherever he goes.

LeBron couldn't help but curl up with his arms crossed.

That was his habit. From the moment his mother gave birth to him in that dark cabin, he had always longed for light.

But now, he just wants to hide himself in the darkness where no one can see or find him.

This is the most reassuring protective color...

………………

The carnival in Tokyo night, the return home and celebrations, the enthusiastic fans at Yanjing Airport, the praise and various commendation meetings from the Basketball Association, and the sky-high annual salaries offered by several wealthy teams in the CBA.

In just a few days, too many things happened.

The buddies in the team also have a new future.

Tang Zhengdong, Mo Ke, Zhu Fangyu and others naturally returned to their original CBA teams, but Yi Jianlian and Chen Jianghua ushered in a life different from that in Lin Dong's memory.

Originally, Yi Jianlian was supposed to be recruited by Guangdong Hongyuan next year, but due to his outstanding performance in this world championship, the Magic City Sharks offered him an olive branch in advance, with a pretty good formal contract. , to fill the vacancy of Dayao, who left the Sharks a year early.

Chen Jianghua was supposed to be admitted to the youth team of Guangdong Hongyuan in 03, but now he has been brought forward. In addition to his outstanding performance in the World Championships, it is probably also because he got along well with Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng during this period. reason.

Lin Dong declined invitations from teams such as Guangdong Hongyuan, Magic City Sharks, and Yanjing Aoshen, and chose to go to the United States at the end of July.

Before leaving, the members of the National Youth League naturally had a gathering, and Lin Dong also generously gave the first 'group gift' in his life.

Those were 11 pairs of Li Ning's customized sneakers. According to the foot size of each player on the team, the pattern was the national youth team logo, using the red and yellow national flag colors. In this era of 2000, 2800 pairs of customized sneakers was already considered a sky-high price. .

Since he is the 'boss' of the team, he should act like a boss.

People such as Tang Zhengdong who already receive salary from the CBA may not care much about customized shoes, but for young players such as Chen Jianghua and Yi Jianlian, these shoes can be considered a generous gift.

There is no need to ask for it from home. For winning this championship, the Basketball Association has given him a lot of rewards. In addition to the bonus from the event itself, Lin Dong also has one or two hundred thousand in his pocket.

The first money I earned in my life was used to buy a second-hand BMW in my previous life. In this life... I will naturally spend it more meaningfully.

Of course, the elders in the family are indispensable, and the lover who is still waiting for him in Seattle is indispensable.

By the time everything was settled, it was already the end of July. Lakeside High School was urging him to go through the enrollment procedures in advance. They also wanted to introduce him to the team's teammates and coaches in advance and talk about the team's NSAA goals for this year.

After bidding farewell to Lao Lin and his grandparents who were reluctant to leave, Lin Dong finally boarded a flight to Seattle.

Nike Summit and World Championships?

Although he has achieved brilliance and reached the pinnacle of his dreams, it can only be the pinnacle of his previous life.

In this life, I have already broken through all boundaries, and what awaits me is a future that was once completely unimaginable.

It is difficult for Lin Dong to imagine where he can reach the peak of basketball in this life, but he knows very well that Lakeside High School is just a transition. Only the NBA is the arena that he needs to conquer after going to the United States this time.

quickly!

Wearing headphones and sunglasses, I looked out the window at the city gradually moving away, until the plane climbed above the clouds.

The clouds and fog were cleared away, and the sky was clear, just like Lin Dong's mood at this time.

A slight smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.

Wade, Anthony, LeBron, Bosh...even Shubaodu.

Future NBA superstars, are you ready to challenge me?
