In Spain, the national youth team once again encountered the arrogance and invincibility of whites. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking for accommodation, looking for a translator, looking for a training venue, everything that happened to Paris, France, was also encountered in the national youth team in Madrid, the capital of Spain. What's even more frustrating is that just one day before the warm-up game, news suddenly came from the Spanish Basketball Association that the original three warm-up games were all cancelled due to internal reasons of the Spanish Basketball Association.

Hearing the news, everyone in the national youth team froze in place, dumbfounded. The scheduled warm-up game was canceled when it was canceled, and no follow-up was given. But the national youth team is not familiar with life in Madrid, and they don't know who to go to protest, so they can't trouble the consulate because of the warm-up game. In desperation, the national youth team had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit, and the team leader Yataro Ando simply gave everyone a big holiday.

The holiday began on July 19 and ended on July 25, and on July 26, the national youth team regrouped for the last destination of the European training, Rome, the capital of Italy.

After shopping in Paris, and then looking at the commercial streets and tourist areas of Madrid, Ryumasa and others (in fact, Ryumasa and Yataro Ando, the others were training and competing hard when they were in Paris, and they didn't have time to go out) remembered a sentence, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Compared to the world-famous tourist city of Paris, Madrid is like a turtledove, and it is not at all comparable to many cities in Japan in terms of travel and shopping.

As for the favorite sport of the Spaniards--- football, the national youth players neither understand nor like it. After Ando mentioned that he went to watch the La Liga giants Real Madrid play once and was rejected by all the members of the national youth team, no one raised anything about football.

After experiencing the six warm-up games with the Lithuanian national team and the French national youth team, everyone also broadened their horizons and truly understood the gap between Asian basketball and European basketball.

Now, the national youth players are full of thoughts about games, training, competitions, training, after shopping in Madrid for a long time, everyone no longer wants to stay in Spain, and they have approached Yataro Ando, asking to leave Spain as soon as possible and arrive in Rome, the capital of Italy, as soon as possible to start training.

Everyone's request was reasonable, and Ando reported the situation to the headquarters of the Japan Basketball Association, and with the consent of the headquarters, he immediately booked a plane ticket to Rome.

................................................

Rome, the capital of Italy, is also the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Italy.

Everyone in the national youth team took the plane in the early morning and arrived at this historical ancient city before dawn. Learning from his previous lessons, Ando had already contacted the tour company in Rome in advance before leaving Spain.

Before the flight of the national youth team landed, the tour company had already sent a tour guide and a special car to wait at the airport.

On the way to the hotel, through the narration of the tour guide, the national youth team members have a deep understanding of the historical city of Rome.

The tour guide proudly told everyone that as the birthplace of ancient Rome and world culture, Rome has a history of more than 2,500 years, and is a world-famous historical and cultural city and the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire. Because of its long history, Rome has the title of "The Eternal City".

Located in the west-central part of the Italian peninsula, on seven small hills in the lower plains of the Tiber River, with a city center of 1,200 square kilometers, Rome is the most extensive and populous city in Italy and one of the most famous places to visit in the world.

The sleek tour guide saw that the youth team members were not interested in religion, and directly avoided the content of religion and focused on the culture of Rome. The tour guide told everyone that Rome and Florence were both the centers of the Italian Renaissance, and there are still quite a lot of Renaissance and Baroque features today.

Ten years ago, in 1980, Rome's historic city was listed as a World Heritage Site and placed under key protection.

Rome has a warm climate with four distinct seasons, and spring is the best time of year to visit. The time when the national youth team came, July and August are the hottest and driest seasons of the year in Rome, and the Romans are used to leaving the hot city at this time and going out for a summer vacation, so these two months are the off-season for tourism in Rome, plus the previous World Cup has consumed most of Rome's tourism demand, and the time point for the national youth team to come is the most bleak time for Rome's major tourism companies.

Because the travel company has no business, this is why Ando quickly contacted the travel company. However, for the national youth team that comes to practice, it doesn't matter what the climate or off-season is at all, because even if it is the peak tourist season, the national youth players who come to participate in the competition don't have the energy to go out to play.

................................................

On the evening of July 19, at the door of the hotel where the national youth team settled, two tall men were waiting for someone.

The two are Steve Smith, head coach of the Oak Hill High School basketball team, and Mr. William, the chief scout of the NBA professional team Bulls.

The reason why the two appeared in Italy was because of the relationship between Long Zheng. Before leaving Lithuania, Ryu-jeong met with the two in a café.
