Chapter 17: Next stop, the national team.
Lin Wanwan never imagined that seven hours after hanging up the phone, she saw Zhou Zheng with red eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You ......"
Lin Wanwan didn't know what to say for a while.
"I feel like I should be there for you when you need help. Zhou Zheng scratched his head, he was not very good at expressing his feelings, but told her firmly: "You are my person, I have to cover you." ”
As he spoke, he handed her a heavy woven bag: "In a hurry, I only mobilized 1.2 million cash. ”
"If it's not enough, I'll get it again. You're not for sale with me, there's no price, there's no cap. ”
Lin Wanwan had mixed feelings, and there were rare intense emotional fluctuations on her face that had been covered with frost all year round, and finally a thousand words turned into a voice: "Thank you." ”
"Thanks for what?"
Zhou Zheng gave her a blank look, and then went with her to visit her father.
When Zhou Zheng walked into the inpatient department, he realized that he hadn't bought anything, so he quickly turned around and went outside to buy some fruit.
Turning around and coming to the outside of the ward, Lin Wanwan's face was flushed.
"You... You... Can you pretend to be my boyfriend?" Lin Wanwan said embarrassedly: "It's not easy for my dad to pull me to grow up alone, and now he thinks in his heart that I can quickly become a family and have a home............
"Good. Zhou Zheng agreed. He could understand Lin Wanwan's father's mind.
Then, he took Lin Wanwan's hand and walked into the intensive care unit.
"Uncle, you lie down and rest, you don't have to sit up. Zhou Zheng walked over, his face full of enthusiasm: "Catch up with Ming'er and wait for you, I have to have a good drink with you." ”
Zhou is a self-acquaintance, and the effort of two sentences has brought the relationship a lot closer.
Lin Hanqing hurriedly beckoned Zhou Zheng over and asked him to sit next to him.
At this time, he was already thin and only skinny left, but a pair of big eyes suddenly bloomed: "Good boy, I heard Wanwan say that you are a basketball player." ”
"Hmm. Playing ball. Zhou Zheng replied with a smile.
"It's good to play, it's good to play physically. Saying that, he reached out and patted Zhou Zheng's shoulder hard, and then touched Zhou Zheng's hand again: "This is a pair of big hands." ”
"Huh. Zhou Zheng laughed with him, he had been touched by a big man like this, he wanted to pull his hand out, but in the end he obeyed the old man and let him touch it hard.
In the middle of the ring, the old man who looked very weak suddenly frowned: "It's not right. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"Child, what is your birthday?" Lin Hanqing asked.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Lin Wanwan, he didn't know what kind of routine the old man was.
Lin Wanwan spread his hands and whispered, "Old superstition." ”
Zhou Zheng suddenly realized and replied: "I was born on February 20, 86 in the lunar calendar, and I was born at about 12 o'clock in the evening. ”
"Oh, in the eighty-sixth year, the year of Bingyin, the tiger of the mountains and forests is the fire in the furnace. No wonder, no wonder. ”
Lin Hanqing shook his head and nodded, and then stared deeply at Zhou Zheng's face a few times.
"The bend is June 1, 85, the ugly year, the golden life in the sea ......"
"Child, I just hope you can treat Wanwan well in the future. If you want a bowl of water, you must not despise her. She is a strong child, a golden life in the sea, you can entrust her with the management of your family wealth, and she will definitely become your good wife and help. ”
Lin Hanqing patted the back of Zhou Zheng's hand and said this very seriously: "That's it, that's it." These are all fate. ”
What Dad Lin said was chattering, and Zhou Zheng was confused.
He had no choice but to nod vigorously: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely not wait for a bend." ”
"You're a good boy. You don't. But I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be jealous of the wind. ”
Speaking of which, Zhou Zheng finally understood. He glanced at Lin Hanqing in shock, and his emotions were inexplicable...... Your heart is so big.
At this time, Lin Wanwan stomped his foot and said angrily: "Dad......"
As soon as she shouted like this, Lin Hanqing turned her head and glanced at her lovingly. Ahem... Wow!
A mouthful of blood spit out.
"Dad!"
Lin Wanwan hurriedly pounced, and Zhou Zhengze shouted loudly: "Doctor, doctor!!!"
……
A week later, Mr. Lin Hanqing finally couldn't get through it.
Zhou Zheng accompanied Lin Wanwan to arrange the funeral together, busy as a son-in-law, and then sent the old man up the mountain in a beautiful manner.
For three whole days, Lin Wanwan did not shed a single tear, she calmly put everything in order, and always maintained a calm and strong image.
It wasn't until she got on the bus to Beijing with Zhou Zheng that her tears gushed out uncontrollably.
"I'm a kid without a dad anymore. ”
Lin Wanwan wailed and cried.
At this moment, she put aside all the coldness, she is just a little girl who has lost her father's support.
Zhou Zheng drove the car to the side of the road, silently handed her a tissue, and couldn't help wiping her eyes, life and death, there is nothing more sad in life.
Zhou Zheng hugged Lin Wanwan and gave her a strong support.
"No matter what the future holds, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry. ”
Zhou Zheng gave the most solemn promise.
Lin Wanwan hugged Zhou Zheng slightly, and his cry gradually slowed down in the sobbing.
……
While Zhou Zheng and Lin Wanwan fell into grief, basketball fans across the country also fell into a situation of national grief.
China's men's national basketball team has lost four consecutive warm-up games in less than two weeks, against a group of NBDL or retired players against the United States Tours, New Zealand Youth Team, Australia Second Team and Angola Team.
In these four games, even with the protection of the home whistle, the Chinese team still lost very ugly.
At this moment, fans miss Yao Shu and Zhou Zheng very much.
"When will Younas's advertised excellent defender break the full-court press? Every time he is forced to mess up, is this the level of the national team?"
"Younas should reflect on his tactical system, his European style of play may not be suitable for the Chinese team, and the Chinese team players do not have such a high level of tactical literacy. ”
"Yao Shu has just undergone surgery, he needs to rest, don't let him play in this year's World Championships, we still want to see him play for a few more years. If Younas is determined not to recruit Zhou Zheng into the national team, I just want to say that we can't even enter the round of 16, so don't go to Japan to be embarrassed. ”
“……”
The message board of a basketball forum is densely packed with pessimistic floors, and they do not have much confidence in the Chinese team's trip to the World Championships.
Even some fans feel that even if Zhou Zheng joined the national team at the last moment, he will not be able to lead the Chinese team to create good results, and may enter the top 16 at most.
"After all, Zhou Zheng is not a player who is good at projection. Although his throws are getting more and more accurate, the FIBA penalty area is not limited to the three-second zone, and his breakthrough lethality will definitely be greatly reduced. And also... The players of the national team are not as capable of flying and dunking as the players in Portland, and no matter how high his assist ability is, he still can't take it when he encounters his teammates......"
During the recording of the show, the netizen's message was conveyed to Zhou Zheng.
She looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile, looking at the upstart in the sports world who was talking and laughing in front of the camera: "Do you think this netizen's worry is unnecessary?"
"I could feel his strong love for basketball and a strong sense of national pride. ”
Zhou Zheng responded with a smile: "However, there is a saying in the NBA that basketball is round, and anything can happen on the court." I don't think we're going to stop in the round of 16, and I don't subscribe to the notion that national team players are scum teammates. I've done a lot of homework before this, and I've had my strength and conditioning trainer help me find a lot of matches from the national team players, and they're all very characterful players, and I'm sure I can string them together and make a beautiful combination!"
"Then what kind of record do you expect the Chinese men's basketball team to get this time in Japan?" **** asked gently.
"Top 8. Zhou Zheng made an 'eight' gesture, and he was very confident: "This is my guaranteed goal." ”
There was applause at the recording site, and **** also clapped his palms to cheer for Zhou Zheng.
Then, she shifted the direction of the interview from the sports circle to the entertainment industry. "According to the data, your debut album released in the United States has already sold eight times more platinum, and it has also won three major awards at the Billboard Awards. Other than that... It is said that you also made cameo appearances in two Hollywood movies, and you know, there are many actors in China who want to go to Hollywood to gild, but you did it easily. So, will you focus your career on acting in the future?"
"If I'm short of money, I'll go to filming or participate in commercial performances. Zhou Zheng said calmly.
"Lack of money?" **** was shocked: "As far as I know, you are the most valuable athlete in the sports world." If I'm not mistaken, the endorsement contract you get at Adidas is supposed to be the highest price for an annual salary in sports history. ”
"I made an investment. Zhou Zheng said very honestly: "Now Silicon Valley regards me as a wronged leader, and I have the reputation of 'the most idiot venture capitalist in history'." ”
"Oh?investment?What are the main aspects of your investment?" **** asked curiously.
"Internet companies are dominant. You may not believe it, but I took out a loan of $100 million last year and invested in a domestic Internet company. In the U.S., I have also invested in two fledgling Internet companies, and these two investments are my proudest achievements. ”
"Wow...!" **** closed his mouth in surprise: "It's really a bit embarrassing for you to spend so much money...... It's unbelievable, haven't you made some investments that preserve your value, like real estate or something?"
"I don't own a property in the United States, I rent an apartment. ”
"What about the country?" **** continued to ask.
"Domestic?" Zhou Zheng frowned, and then said with a smile: "It's not easy to say." ”
"Why can't you say it?"
"My dad is a real estate developer. ”
"Oh!" **** was shocked again, the factors on Zhou Zheng are too complicated, and there is no way to completely analyze the cocoon clearly.
So, in the process of touching up makeup. She asked the staff around Zhou Zheng if they could record one more issue.
Lin Wanwan calmly rejected her: "No." We want to control exposure, we don't want to overexpose. ”
After getting this reply, **** couldn't hide the loss.
Then, the content of the interview began to tend to movie promotion, and Zhou Zheng shouted a few words for Yang Xueli.
Although he doesn't like Yang Xueli to earn these three melons and two dates in the entertainment industry, since his sister loves this job, there is no reason for him to be a younger brother not to pull out a knife to help.
The visit ended quickly.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly left the studio and then moved on to the next trip.
Chinese Men's Basketball National Team Training Center.
