Yi Dun's sentence was silent at the scene when he asked directly, and everyone thought they had heard it wrong.

Team?!

You're a track and field and weightlifting world champion who holds several world records, and now ask when we're going to join the basketball team?

Is it entertaining us?

"Yi Dun, your joke is not funny at all." Gong Xiaobin laughed dryly.

Yi Dun immediately became anxious, "I'm not joking, Coach Gong, I really have the idea of joining the Dongshan men's men's basketball team." ”

"Of course, as long as you don't dislike my poor strength."

Gong Xiaobin was dumbfounded, the current development of the situation was completely different from what he imagined.

Looking at Yi Dun's eager appearance, could it be that he really wanted to play basketball?

But why is that? Gong Xiaobin couldn't understand Yi Dun's brain circuit at all after thinking about it.

Isn't it fragrant to hold the world champion in track and field and weightlifting? Do you have to come to join in the excitement of basketball?!

"Are you serious?" Gong Xiaobin asked again.

Yi Dun nodded hurriedly, "Seriously, it's more real than real gold." ”

Everyone was even more silent, this kind of thing was really too weird, so weird that they had nothing to say.

"Then come with me, let's go to my office and sit down." After Gong Xiaobin pondered for a moment, a bold idea arose in his heart.

……

A moment later, Yi Dun followed Gong Xiaobin into the office.

"Bring the door shut, let's have a good talk."

Yi Dun closed the door smoothly, and then went to Gong Xiaobin's desk.

"Yi Dun, I really don't understand what you're thinking, if you don't have success now, you say you want to join the team, I welcome you with both hands, a player with rebounding ability to your level, any CBA team is estimated to open the door for you."

"We don't have many domestic players with strong rebounding ability, especially our Dongshan men's basketball team, you can also see the situation just now, the rebounding is a mess." Gong Xiaobin did not shy away from criticizing his team.

The starting center averaged less than five rebounds per game, and the lead backup center averaged three rebounds per game, which is not an exaggeration.

Faced with Gong Xiaobin's question, Yi Dun didn't know how to answer.

"Coach Gong, there is no reason, you just think I want to contribute to Dongshan Sports." Yi Dun said with a dry smile.

This kind of lame reason, it is impossible to believe that Gong Xiaobin was killed.

"Okay, then I won't ask this question, I'm asking you now, if you really join the Dongshan men's basketball team, what will you do with those track and field events and weightlifting, just leave it alone?"

"Of course it's impossible, even if I want to leave it alone, it's impossible for my boss to agree, our basketball association doesn't stipulate that professional players are not allowed to engage in track and field, right?" Yi Dun asked curiously.

Gong Xiaobin shook his head, "There are no regulations in this regard, mainly because I haven't encountered this situation before, let alone encountering it, I haven't even thought about it." ”

"So how do you arrange your usual training time? As far as I know, you have to have eight or nine projects in your hands now, right? Still have time to train basketball? ”

"Time is water in a sponge, and there is always something to squeeze it."

"Coach Gong, I don't mean that I have to achieve an achievement like track and field in basketball, my only goal is to enter the national team, and when the time comes, I will follow the national team to win an Asian gold medal to make up for my regrets." Yi Dun pursed his lips and said.

Gong Xiaobin was stunned again, what kind of strange regret is this? You have two gold medals in the Eden Olympics, and a lot of gold medals in Asia, do you care about this one?

"I always feel like you're weird kid."

"But since you've said so, I'm not going to stop you."

"There are some things that I have to tell you in advance, that is, ugly words ahead."

"First of all, I definitely can't guarantee that you will enter the national team, I can't help me in the selection of this national team, I may be able to help you say two good words when the time comes, but it mainly depends on your own performance on the field."

"Secondly, it is impossible for our Dongshan men's basketball team to give you too much salary, you must start from the second-tier team, and the salary is only about 5,000 yuan a month, can you accept it?"

"At the end of the day, you can't afford to fall behind in training, and although your performance today was impressive, there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved through training." Gong Xiaobin said one after another.

Yi Dun was ecstatic in his heart, listening to Gong Xiaobin's meaning, this matter is settled?

Whether he can enter the national team or not, Yi Dun naturally will not pin his hopes on others, and he will definitely have to rely on himself in the end.

Just like being selected for the track and field national team, if you are strong, you will naturally be selected, and you don't have to work hard.

As for the salary issue that Gong Xiaobin said, Yi Dun didn't care at all, not to mention that the Dongshan men's basketball team gave him a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, even if he didn't give a dime, even if he asked Yi Dun to post the money, Yi Dun would not hesitate to join.

"Coach Gong, what other problems do I have now, you give me some pointers, I just train weekdays." Yi Dun humbly asked for advice.

"The biggest problem is the lack of defensive deterrence."

"You're too short, you're going to be quite passive against those big pitchers, you can't pose a defensive threat to people at all, people shoot you in the head, you can't do anything about it."

"As the saying goes, if you are not tall enough, bounce to make up, you should then train your bounce ability, although this thing is more talented, but if you train hard, you can still have some effect."

"Defensive awareness and experience are also lacking, and with your strength, you can push the opponent out of the paint as much as possible and keep them away from the basket, which is what you should do."

"The speed is a bit slow for your height, so focus on training speed on weekdays."

Speaking of which, Yi Dun's speed is naturally not slow compared to ordinary insiders, but in front of the peak Gong Xiaobin, it is not enough to see at all.

Gong Xiaobin is two meters tall, but he can run 11.30 seconds in 100 meters, and his jumping ability is also extremely outstanding.

In Gong Xiaobin's view, Yi Dun's height of 1.9 meters, speed and bounce are not good, and there is still room for improvement.

"Okay, thanks to Coach Gong, I will pay attention to these two aspects and train more in the future."

"By the way, I heard that you have to register with the Basketball Association, how should this process go?" Eden asked.

Gong Xiaobin waved his hand, "I can't register, now that the registration channel is closed, I have to wait for the second half of the year." ”

"In the past six months, you can train hard, and wait for the second half of the year to see how it goes."

Yi Dun nodded, it seems that he has been busy again in the past half a year.

Weightlifting is easy to say, just practice three or five times a month, this thing doesn't need to spend too much time training.

Athletics training is a difficult problem and takes a lot of time, so Yi Dun decided not to go to Beijing at all for the next year, and stayed directly in Jibei.

Train at the training base of the Provincial Track and Field Center, and take time to train at the Dongshan Men's Basketball Club, without delay at both ends.

In the next year, EDUN will participate in many competitions, among which there are three competitions that EDUN attaches the most importance to.

One is the National Games in July, and the other two are the World Athletics Championships and the World Weightlifting Championships.

Especially the next two World Championships, Yi Dun can't miss it, and whether he can gain a lot of international-level attribute points depends on these two events.

In addition, this year's Asian Championships in Athletics and Asian Weightlifting Championships, Yi Dun will definitely have to participate.

Although the attribute points awarded by these two events are only national-level attribute points, the level of this competition is high, and it is a continent-level competition, and you can get a lot of points if you win the game.

Especially the Asian Championships in Athletics, which was held in Guangdong, China, is an event at the doorstep of this kind of event, which is definitely impossible to miss.

The highest level in athletics is the OW level, and there are only two events, namely the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

In the next GW level, there are three events, namely the World Athletics Finals, the World Indoor Championships, and the Cross Country Running World Championships.

Then there is the third level of GL, which is the Golden League, the World Cup and the tournaments on all continents.

If Eden wants to challenge for the world No. 1 in every sport, it is natural that he will not miss these continent-level tournaments.

Because 2008 is an Olympic year, there are not many competitions, and most of the events will be adjusted to miss the Olympic year.

And now 2009 has begun, is the year of the outbreak of the event, this year Eden will usher in the busiest year of his career.

It's good to say that the first half of the year is really in full swing, one after another.

……

In the following time, Yi Dun patiently devoted himself to training.

At present, Eden's training is mainly long-distance running plus basketball.

Although Eden will definitely not be able to play this season, at least he will have to wait until the start of next season before he has a chance to play.

However, this did not dampen his enthusiasm for training.

Dongshan Men's Basketball Club is also happy to see it, regardless of whether Yi Dun can play the game, with Yi Dun's current popularity, let alone letting him play on the court, even if he is put on the bench to watch the water dispenser, it will definitely attract countless people to enter to watch Yi Dun.

The current Eden has such a box office appeal.

There is no need to invest anything in Yi Dun, and the addition of Yi Dun will not affect the strength of the team, but can also strengthen his internal shortcomings.

This is definitely a pie-in-the-sky thing for the Dongshan men's basketball team, so they just turn a blind eye to Yi Dun's attendance.

Yi Dun is here, then take Yi Dun to train, if you don't come, no one will urge Yi Dun.

practiced like this until the beginning of February, when Yi Dun received a call from Xia Jiuli.

At the Melbourne Grand Prix in Australia, Eden was invited to participate, and even the schedule was sent over, and there was only one javelin event.

The appearance fee given is not low, as a second-level Grand Prix, the organizer gave Yi Dun an appearance fee of 200,000 US dollars.

Yi Dun found an email from Xia Jiuli in the mailbox, which contained the information of the fellow players.

If you don't go, there will be a total of eight contestants, and if you go, you will lose one of them, or maintain the quota of eight contestants.

There are the situation and historical results of these players on the list, and Yi Dun was speechless after reading it.

All eight players are from Oceania, from Australia and New Zealand.

Of the seven Australians, only one is a New Zealander......

It's all about Australia's own entertainment.

Looking at the historical results of these contestants, Yi Dun is even more speechless.

The strongest one, the best record in personal history is more than 86 meters, and the weakest one, the best score is only 66 meters!

Yi Dun looked confused, what kind of garbage game is this? This player's strength is simply too weak.

These Australians invited themselves to the competition, could it be that they were looking for abuse?
