The poster shows two yellow-skinned players hugging each other.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the lower right corner of the poster shows the date of the shooting, November 9, 2007, the day the two first played each other on the NBA court.

As the two flags of Chinese basketball, they have set a good example for Chinese young people on and off the court.

"I didn't lie to you, I said you promised to like it." Mu Chenfeng said slowly.

"How did you discover this place?" Henry, who was originally the most resistant, became the most obsessed audience, wandering between the posters and counting familiar faces.

However, these faces are more still unfamiliar.

It's not just the superstars of every country, it's every international player who has played in the NBA, from 25+ points per game to 0 points per game, no matter what the data will be traced here.

"It's amazing!" Henry couldn't help but exclaim, this is much more interesting than surfing in the sea.

This arena has a special name: basketball belongs to the world.

The owner of the arena is an American man in his seventies, who has been preparing for this arena since he was 20 years old when he was a player, and there have been 986 international players in the history of the NBA, and these players can be found in this arena without exception.

"It's amazing." This is still a basketball hall, which is simply a world basketball museum, showing the history related to the world in front of the eyes of future generations.

"You're here." The sound was incomparably vicissitudes, as if it had been slashed by a sharp dagger.

"Senpai." Mu Chenfeng's cervix stepped forward and greeted the old man with a Chinese fist.

The others also gathered together and waved to the old man.

"My name is Sonny. Wald. "Don't look at the old man's trembling walk, and his voice is very penetrating when he greets.

Wald? The name is really stylish, and it fits the name of the stadium very well.

"Welcome to the world of basketball." Except for Wald, who is a genuine American, there is no American element here, and the interior decoration has a unique flavor, which is not at all the decoration that Americans are used to, but more European style, not to mention the more than 1,000 posters posted around, all international players.

This arena only includes international players, not American players, even if you are as good as Michael. Jordan is no exception.

"Senior, why did you build such a stadium?" Cannavaro asked curiously.

"I've spent 50 years recruiting these players, not to prove how great I am, but to let the United States know that basketball is the world, and there are many players who play basketball well outside of the United States, and there are countries with deep basketball culture." Wald's words are meaningful, it is true that in that era of American world domination, too many international players were buried, and there were very few international players like Yao Ming, Parker, and Nowitzki who could make a name for themselves in the NBA, and basketball as a global sport was almost destroyed by the United States team.

However, in recent years, various countries in the world have risen one after another rising stars, and the hegemony of the US team has been challenged like never before.

The trigger was 2019, the year of disruption in American basketball.

This year, the Toronto Raptors from Canada brought the O'Brien Cup out of the United States for the first time, and the American team gradually lost its dominance of basketball.

In the same year, Antetokounmpo from Greece snatched the prestigious "Regular Season Most Valuable Player" MVP trophy from the Americans.

The best defensive player goes to Gobert from France.

The Rookie of the Year goes to Doncic from Slovenia.

The most improved player is Cameroon's Siakam.

Basketball World Cup winner Spain.

This year, the United States did not win any of the major basketball-related awards.

There are many predictions that the future of the NBA will be dominated by international players.

At this time, the "Dream Eighteen" was born, and the team, which was called the "Dream Ten" and "Dream Eight" by the American media, was a combination of the "Dream Ten" and "Dream Eight", which dominated the international arena that year and helped the United States return to the top of the world with an undefeated record. Bryant.

There is no undefeated king in basketball, and the talented United States continues to accept the challenge of talent from all over the world.

Wald is a witness to these gifts.

"Basketball is only beautiful when a hundred flowers bloom." Wald's old hands gently brushed over each poster, this is what he does every day, don't look at him is almost 70 years old, he still clearly remembers the names of the people on each poster, remembers their country, remembers the date each poster was taken, and remembers the story behind each poster.

He hopes that the more posters there will be in the arena, the better.

"You five are the hope of basketball." Wald reached out and patted everyone on the shoulder, "Hopefully one day I'll see you guys on the NBA court and then I'll get you a poster to stick here." Wald gestured to the few vacancies left next to him.

Two years, and the 16-year-old five will not appear in the NBA until two years at the earliest, when Wald is just 72 years old.

"Senior, that day will definitely come." Mu Chenfeng took the lead in making a commitment to play in the NBA.

In this scene, Wald saw that there was once a child from China who might have made the same promise, but he broke the contract.

"As long as you are willing to persist and pay, there will be good results." From the table next to him, Wald picked up a square plate with five delicate boxes inlaid with sparkling gems.

"I'll go, is this gem real?" Henry's eyes were straight, it was the first time he had seen such a large gem.

Wald laughed, "Silly boy, of course it's fake." ”

"Come, choose one for each person." Wald held the square plate with one hand, the square plate did not move at all, but he didn't expect Wald to walk tremblingly, but the hand holding the plate was very steady.

"It's ......"

"A greeting gift for you." Wald said slowly, with infinite love and antiquity.

"What's here?" Henry stretched out his curious hand, swaying back and forth between the five boxes.

It shook people's eyes, "This box looks the same, what's there to pick." ”

"Look, you're ignorant, why do you put it in a box if it's the same?" Don't look at Henry's usual big grin, he is still cautious at critical moments, and he will only be cautious in certain situations.

Wald smiled but didn't answer, but there was a lot of meaning in his smile.

"I guessed it." Henry raised an eyebrow, "There is indeed a mystery in this box. ”

"No, it won't." Cannavaro looked at Wald in surprise, "This kid is really right. ”

The two of them didn't pick out a 123 for a long time, but Mu Chenfeng was still happy, and he reached out and took the first box away.

"Big brother, if you don't understand, come first and come first." When Henry saw that the box he liked had been taken away, he was indignant.

"If you don't take it, you won't have a choice." Mu Chenfeng pointed to the square plate.

Henry looked down sharply, and in a short time, three boxes had been taken away, and only the last two remained.

"I want this!" Henry reached for the box on his left, not thinking that Cannavaro would take the lead and snatch the box away.

In the end, there was only one last one left, and Henry had no choice.

"Maybe the rest is the best."

"That's right!" Henry cheered himself up, "I must be better than any of you." ”

All five of them got their "favorite" box, but there was no difference at all from the appearance of the box, and they would only know when they opened it.

"I'll count 123, let's open it together." Henry suggested, he couldn't wait to find out.

"Okay."

"Yes!"

"Agreed!"

"Come on!"

It was rare for Henry to make a unanimous vote, and the others also wanted to know what was in this box, the box was so exquisite, and the contents were certainly not simple.

"Come, 3......."

“2……”

“1！ Open it! ”

The five of them opened the box together, and a blinding beam of light shot straight into their eyes.

"What is this?" The five looked at the contents of the box in surprise, and their faces became distorted in surprise.

"Championship ring!" Mu Chenfeng couldn't control his emotions anymore.

These five championship rings were acquired by Wald as a player, and he played for three teams in his career, and won five championships with three teams as a sixth man, including two title defenses, and these five rings are all the honors of his career.

"Is this true?" Henry questioned the authenticity of the ring.

These are genuine championship rings.

"You're going to give us such a precious ring?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"Not for you, but for your rings, for your rings with mine." Wald said seriously.

"But we don't have a ring." ”

"Then I'll give it to me when you have it." Wald wasn't joking, "When you get to the NBA, trade your rings for me." ”

Wald traded his past for the future of his children, and he gave them the five rings he cared about the most to recognize their talents, and he hoped to inspire them in this way, give them the motivation to challenge for the highest honor in basketball.

The ring Mu Chenfeng got was set with a large diamond, and the ring was engraved with Wald's name, number and the winning team he played for.

"This is my first ring, it's not the most valuable, but it's the most important thing for me." Wald told Mu Chenfeng that the first championship trip is often when a professional player's happiness is the most saturated, and Mu Chenfeng got something amazing as soon as he took it.

"I just like that." Henry complained from the sidelines that the meaningful ring should have belonged to him.

Wald looked at the ring in Henry's hand and said, "You have the most valuable ring of all my rings. ”

There were a total of 18 diamonds set in that ring, each of which was expensive.

As soon as he heard that the ring was valuable, Henry's face immediately changed, and he said with a smile, "I'm also very beautiful here." "Nonsense, it's no wonder that so many diamonds aren't pretty.

Five rings, each with a beautiful story behind it, but each story is written by blood and sweat.

"I'm handing you the ring today, and I want to see which of you will be the first to give me the ring."

With the rings in hand, the five men left the arena, and Wald looked at their distant backs with expectant eyes.

"Basketball belongs to the world."
