So I am the god of basketball?

Meng Lang's speech after the game made the reporters from Kimchi Country stunned for a moment.

The young reporter next to me was smiling at first, listening to Meng Lang's unkind words. But when Meng Lang put them together with the Kimchi Country, their smiles disappeared instantly.

Kimchi Nation lost miserably in this game and even set many embarrassing records.

For example, they allowed Meng Lang to score 50 points alone; when Meng Lang was off the court, the entire team's score combined was not as good as Meng Lang's alone...

All these made the Kimchi National Men's Basketball Team embarrassed tonight.

It also made reporters from other countries watching the fun smile with amusement.

But now that Meng Lang said these words, they naturally couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Xiaotian is in another group of semi-finals, if they win, they can enter the finals with the China Men's Basketball Team.

Can……

Meng Lang like this is waiting for him in the finals.

In addition, starting from the semi-finals, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team faced different levels of suppression against Xiaori and Kimchi Country, which currently also represent the "Asia's top" level, earning them the title of "Asian Dream Team".

But this time the team leader smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart: "I think it's pretty good..."

To enter or not to enter, that is the question...

He shook his head helplessly, but what he actually wanted to express was:
This kid is like this, so don't care whether what he says will have any impact.

At this moment, a wave of "basketball fever" completely broke out in China.

The reporters in their childhood transformed into "Hamlet" on the spot.

Too strong!
It’s so strong!
Which Chinese men's basketball player in the past would say such shameless words to the media!
They all knew that Meng Lang often "spoke wildly" when he was in the NBA, but they didn't expect that Meng Lang's words would be even more powerful when he came to the international arena.

Then Wang Bin remembered that Meng Lang was the one who personally stamped "You have a son like this". His words seemed very reckless, but they were indeed very powerful.

because……

Yes, this is a "triple double"!
In this game, it was not just Meng Lang who performed well. Under his leadership, others also "spread their wings and soared" and performed outstandingly. In the end, the China Men's Basketball Team successfully ended this Asian Championship with a 41-point victory. journey of.

Also shocked were domestic reporters at the scene.

They also only won by a dozen points, but the Chinese men's basketball team did not have that kind of dominance.

In the next twenty years or so, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team has had NBA-level shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards and centers, but it lacks an NBA-level point guard...

Of course, there are also Meng Lang's remarks after the game.

But if we really want to say it, the problem of shortcomings at the first position is not a shortcoming of the Chinese men's basketball team in this period, but a stubborn problem that will exist for more than two decades in the future.

Speaking of which, the Chinese men's basketball team during this period was really good.

You can't do match-fixing in international competitions, right?
They are still wearing the national team uniforms from their childhood!

The "little days" men's basketball team of this period was not the "little days" that would be as strong as it would be 25 years later. There were several players with NBA experience. Their overall strength is similar to that of Kimchi Country. So Meng Lang tried his best, and their results were actually similar to those of Kimchi Country.

rash!

At this moment, they are "stretching their heads is a sword, and shrinking their heads is still a sword." Although they have gone to the finals, there is no suspense against the China Men's Basketball Team and Meng Lang.

After all, he played basketball in the United States for so many years.

Until Meng Lang came on the court, although this was his first and second game with other members of the China Men's Basketball Team, he showed his outstanding ability and glued the entire team together.

His omnipotence on the court, as well as his unabashed hostility towards Kimchi Country and his small life, made him an instant hot topic.

Xiaoli finally made it to the finals.

The regret of not being able to reach the semi-finals of the Asian Championships has turned into the "Asian Championship Finals Trophy".

Anyway, only the "No. 1 in Asia" can qualify for next year's World Championships.

The next day, the news that Meng Lang scored 50 points in the Asian Championship spread quickly in the country.

In the end, they successfully reached the finals.

Even for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team in the next three Olympic Games, if it can have a good enough point guard, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team will never stop in the top 8 twice and will definitely achieve a historic breakthrough.

Of course, many media are very clear that the reason why the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team can exert such suppressive power is not for other reasons, but because they have...

Reaching the finals is certainly an honor, but if they already know in advance that a big defeat awaits them, is it still necessary to advance to the finals?

Meng Lang scored 30 points in this finals...

This allowed them to play a destructive power that far exceeded the level of Asian basketball.

But it's not the Nuggets' absolutely controlling way of winning against the Lakers, which is "simmer over low heat and drain over high heat."

Therefore, they can only win, not lose.

Wang Bin was waiting at the side curtain for Meng Lang to come to him, patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at the team leader next to him: "This kid..."

There are enough rebounds inside to ensure that there is no shortage of firepower and explosive power from the outside flanks. Only on the back line, there is indeed one missing point that can be relied on.

Wang Bin was worried that the team leader would think Meng Lang's words were too much and would have a bad impact.

Can……

It didn't look like he scored much, but he also got 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

After all, during the period before the Asian Championships, although the Chinese men's basketball team was going smoothly, their average win of about 14 points per game was already their limit. It often takes until the fourth quarter for them to truly establish an advantage.

Because from what Meng Lang knows about the future, these will be the most prosperous 10 years of the Chinese men's basketball team!
It feels really good to stand on the podium with other players of the China Men's Basketball Team. Meng Lang had thought about this feeling before, but when he stood on the podium and watched the etiquette lady in front of him put the gold medal on him, the real feeling of this moment made him feel even better than he had imagined. .

He has a strong impulse to bring a successful conclusion to the "golden 10 years" of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Let him make up for the regrets he had left in previous Olympic Games!
Just like this time, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was supposed to stop in the semi-finals, was brought to the "Top of Asia"!
He believes that he can do it, he can definitely do it!
The MVP of this Asian Championship ultimately belongs to Hu Weidong.

Although Meng Lang's performance in the semi-finals and finals was much more exaggerated than Hu Weidong...

A 50-plus game, and a 30-plus "triple double."

But after all, we only played two games.

Hu Weidong won the Asian Championship finals with averages of 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

In addition, he and Wang Zhizhi were selected into the final "Asian Championship Best Team".

But everyone knows who the "Best Team" and "Asian Championship MVP" should be this time.

For domestic fans, this is even more of a "happy regret":
It was a pity not to see Meng Lang win the "Asian Championship MVP", but seeing the Chinese men's basketball team dominate the entire Asia, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Especially some senior basketball fans.

In this era of more table tennis fans, they have witnessed the "pioneering journey" of Chinese basketball.

Thinking about it back then and looking at it now, it’s really touching.

Zhang Weiping, who was commentating on the Asian Championship finals, had red eyes at the end. After all, he failed to catch up with this best era...

After the Asian Championships, Meng Lang had a gathering with the China Men's Basketball Team. Gong Xiaobin and Sun Hu were both honest men. After seeing Meng Lang play such an outstanding performance after the duel, they admired Meng Lang endlessly.

"It's true that we can't compare to anyone who can win the MVP in the NBA!" Gong Xiaobin said with envy in his eyes.

Although he thinks he can't play in the NBA no matter how hard he tries. But at this moment, he felt a little regretful that he didn't train hard enough to fully realize his talent.

If he really trains hard, maybe he can make it to the NBA...

Forget it, no more!

"Meng, you are such a special Meng. Don't say anything anymore. I will obey you in this national team from now on!" Gong Xiaobin went ahead as a sign of respect.

He looked forward to fighting side by side with Meng Lang again next time.

Hu Weidong also came to say hello to Meng Lang.

Meng Lang asked him: "Are you sure you don't want to try in the NBA?"

Hu Weidong asked Meng Lang with some emotion: "Do you think I can play in the NBA?"

Meng Lang thought carefully.

Hu Weidong originally received invitations from two NBA teams.

To be precise, I should have received three invitations in total.

In the 96 Atlanta Olympics, Hu Weidong performed impressively in front of Nelson and immediately invited him to participate in the 96 draft... This was the first time. Then the Mavericks and the Magic offered him a 10-day contract and invited him to the NBA.

Especially the Magic, in addition to US$10 for 17757 days, they also provide additional round-trip air tickets and US$88 per day in transportation costs.

But in the end, he was stopped in the country for many reasons.

Just like what happened to Wang Zhizhi.

In fact, Dayao later said that without Wang Zhizhi's efforts, his success would not have been possible. It's not just a casual remark.

Due to the background of the times, if players like Wang Zhizhi and Dayao want to play in the NBA, they need to get... Forget it, without discussing in depth, it is difficult anyway. In the end, it was Wang Zhizhi's efforts and Yao's own determination that led to the NBA's "Best Second Team" Rockets Yao Ming.

However, Meng Lang felt that his appearance would definitely solve many problems to a large extent.

At this moment, to be honest, Meng Lang felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"You should go for it, Hu!"

It's not just you...

Meng Lang also turned to look at the young Dayao on the other side.

If he feels it is necessary, Dayao can enter the NBA in advance and receive more systematic training. In fact, he can largely avoid some old diseases caused by improper training.

When Hu Weidong listened to Meng Lang's words, his eyes flickered and he was moved.

For the first time, he looked forward to the league on the other side of the ocean that he was familiar with but had never seen in person.

After the party, Meng Lang was met by head coach Wang Bin and the team leader, and then left behind some words that will become classics in the future: "Learn from the foreigners and develop skills to defeat the foreigners. Chinese players should go to the NBA to see the truly mature players." What the league is like, especially this group of talented people, this is the only way for the Chinese basketball world to become more dazzling!”

These words soon spread from the hotel room to the country and the entire land of China.

Meng Lang's name has aroused batch after batch of fanatical "basketball fans."

Basketball has also become an unavoidable sport for Chinese young men when choosing sports.

One person can influence a country.

Meng Lang now probably became such a person.

And compared to Yao Ming, one of the more unique conditions he has is:

He is an outside player!

His skills can be imitated by young men!

Everyone must believe that Michael Jordan's influence has a lot to do with his position. If he were an inside man, he wouldn't be able to have such an impact.

Bill Russell proves this.

Meng Lang didn't know about the "basketball fever" caused by him. The first thing he did when he returned to Los Angeles was to meet Monica.

This was the agreement he made with Monica after he returned to Los Angeles on the night of "Win the Championship", but he didn't actually do it until now.

It's almost August now, that is to say, almost 8 months...

"It's so hard to meet you!"

Monica happily went to the appointment.

It was the end of July, and the sun was burning like fire, spitting out sparks.

Meng Lang arrived at the beautiful Sunset Boulevard. When he got out of the car, he saw in the car opposite, a woman wearing a pale white floral suspender dress opened the driver's door, with her exposed white collarbone and The "headlights" that are about to appear are particularly eye-catching.

It is obviously an ordinary long skirt, but because of the woman's beautiful face and excellent figure, she looks dignified but also sexy.

There is a beauty in Los Angeles...

"Monica!"

Meng Lang was driving a large SUV for urban off-roading today. He was leaning against the car door. The sound he shouted made the woman turn her head to look at him.

She stroked her long hair and smiled, swaying with charm.

"long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

Across the Sunset Boulevard, which is less than 15 meters wide, the two people looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's take you for a ride." Meng Lang watched Monica walk in front of her and patted the car behind her.

Monica skillfully went around to the door on the other side and got into the passenger seat.

Sunset Boulevard is an iconic street in Hollywood and is also a transportation hub. During morning and evening rush hours, it is not unusual for cars to stick to each other here. And because there are many blind spots, driving on Sunset Boulevard is not a problem. Safety.

but……

When it's not during the morning and evening rush hours, the endless stretches of road here are very relaxing to drive on.

Just like at this moment, Meng Lang was driving, and soothing country music was playing in the car. Monica next to her looked at the scenery outside the window, her whole body swaying slightly, she hummed softly when she heard the familiar lyrics, and turned to look at Meng Lang. , very comfortable.

"Let's be together!" When the car stopped, Meng Lang turned to look at Monica next to him.

The dazzling red lips slightly spit out one word:

"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
