When Li Liang got up the next day, his back hurt a little.

Two reasons, one is that the double bag of Ervin Robertson and Olajuwon was almost scrapped in the system.

All sorts were stealed.

In a real game, even if two ordinary players go to the trap, the star players will be unbearable and most of them choose to pass.

Besides, when you encounter two top tacklers, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, one left and one right, can you afford it?

Of course, the task was not completed, and no one answered at all, and Li Liang was dribbling around like a duck.

At one point, he finally got rid of it and wanted to rush to the basket for a layup, only to be chased by Olajuwon from behind, and a big hat was nailed to the rebound.

Good guys, wait here, no wonder Olajuwon is on a mission.

Li Liang practiced his stomach and finally came out of the system.

The second reason is that after Zhu Shu arrived at the hotel, because she slept too well on the plane, she had to reverse jet lag, and as a result, she couldn't sleep and kept pestering Li Liang at night.

Then the two tossed from nine o'clock in the evening to the early hours of the morning......

In general, the two reasons can be boiled down to one reason - being pinched.

Anyway, Li Liang was a little lacking in energy, but it doesn't matter, Li Liang doesn't need to train today.

On the second day of coming to Beijing, today's main activity was to meet various leaders.

This is also a process with Chinese characteristics.

After all, a player as famous as Li Liang was not cultivated by the state and grew up in the wild.

When he returns to serve the motherland with his achievements, the leader will, of course, meet cordially, show concern for Comrade Gan's work in the dire situation of US imperialism, report to the leader about his work experience, and so on.

Li Liang actually wanted to meet the big leader, Yao Ming told him that if he won a medal in the Olympics, maybe he would be able to see him.

Li Liang thought to himself, it is not impossible to win a medal, it depends on what kind of opponent he encounters.

If you encounter the United States early, it is estimated that you will be finished.

But if after entering the quarterfinals, it is not the United States that you face, then it is still possible to enter the semifinals and fight for the third place.

What if you accidentally make it to the finals? Isn't that the medal in hand?

Li Liang is very beautiful, and he thinks even more beautifully.

For a whole day, Li Liang followed Yao Ming around, and some necessary entertainment still did not escape.

It's not a business affair, though.

On the third day, the leaders who should have met and accepted the interviews they should have accepted.

Li Liang is finally going to get down to business, become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team, and participate in the warm-up game before the Olympics.

The Chinese men's national basketball team has gathered and reported in April and started training.

On May 16, the men's basketball team held its last 18-day training camp before the Olympic Games in Beilun, Ningbo.

At the beginning of June, the men's basketball team's training camp has ended and began to enter the warm-up stage.

And Li Liang only ended the NBA season in mid-June because he was going to play in the finals, so he rushed over to participate in the national team, and the training camp couldn't catch up.

Fortunately, the list of the Olympic Committee's national teams was only reported on June 24, and Li Liang did not miss this window.

After the training camp, the men's basketball team will conduct a series of warm-up games to train on behalf of the competition, including a training trip to Europe.

The Stankovic Cup will be played in July, so it can be said that the competition is still quite intensive.

Originally, the tone of the basketball center was "train the newcomers, hone the tactics, and try to win two games." ”

With the addition of Li Liang, he has begun to gradually raise his goal to break through the top eight, and even covet medals.

According to the plan, the first stop of the men's basketball team in June will be Italy, where it will play against the Italian national team and several other teams.

Li Liang will take a plane directly to Trento, Italy, without participating in the team's training camp, to join the men's basketball team.

……

On the afternoon of June 17, Li Liang, Zhu Shu, Jensen and others got on a plane to Italy.

This time, without Yao Ming's accompaniment, he had to stay in China to deal with other matters, and Li Liang was accompanied by a staff member of the Basketball Association, who was responsible for contacting the men's basketball team after arriving in Italy.

Li Liang originally thought that going to beautiful Italy would be able to relax, play ball and bask in the sun.

But the girlfriend followed, and it didn't seem to be so easy.

Zhu Shu said that she wanted to take a vacation for herself, so she wanted to go with Li Liang.

"I'm serving the country now, and people go to the training camp by themselves, and I bring my family, how bad it is."

"Don't worry, I won't spend the country's money, I will open a hotel and live in my own hotel. Besides, I'm also going to Milan, Xiaoting said she was in Milan recently. ”

"Then you're flying straight to Milan?"

"No, as your agent, I still have to fulfill my responsibilities and accompany you."

Li Liang sighed, with a trace of regret in his heart, why did he let Zhu Shu be his agent in the first place.

It takes 11 hours to fly from Beijing to Italy, and after the flight arrives in Rome, there is a few hours of train travel to the beautiful wine city of Trento.

Li Liang's itinerary was not hyped up, but there was no way, his fame in the basketball world was really too great.

After flying to Rome in the evening, a lot of media stuck in, constantly taking pictures and asking questions.

Fortunately, Jensen followed and blocked a lot for Li Liang.

Although Italy is a football fanatic, there is no shortage of enthusiasm for basketball.

Back in the 80s, many NBA balloon stars, or people who couldn't play, would choose to play in Italy.

Kobe's dad Joe Bryant, Dominic Wilkins, Bill Ranbill, D'Antoni and many more have all played in Italy.

Joe Bryant wouldn't have given birth to Milan's little blacksmith if he hadn't played in Italy.

Italian teams have also always had a very high level and a high record in Europe.

By the time we arrived in Trento, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.

Because Italy is 6 hours behind China.

After arriving at the destination, Li Liang asked Jensen and a few bodyguards to help Zhu Shu settle down.

He himself, along with the staff, joined the men's basketball team.

Today is the first day of the warm-up match, the Chinese national team has played a match with the Czech Republic, and the Chinese team defeated the Czech Republic and won the first game.

Next, they will have to compete against Turkey and the host country, Italy.

The staff of the Basketball Association took a taxi with Li Liang to the men's basketball team's Laguiralda training base in Trento.

The base is located on the southern outskirts of Trento and is a great place with great scenery.

Men's basketball team leader Chai Wensheng and head coach Gong Luming had long known that Li Liang was coming today, and they were at the base early to prepare for it.

After all, this is China's biggest name and the most mysterious star.

Non-institutional background, previously unknown, after entering the NBA, he shined.

Truth be told, it's impossible for any basketball worker not to be coveted when they see such a player.

Now that I am watching him join, I must be excited, and I finally don't have to accept the bitter fruits of failure under the guise of "training newcomers".

And for the players of the national men's basketball team, the mood is complicated.

On the one hand, it's definitely a great feeling to be teammates with someone who's probably the best at basketball on the planet.

Who wouldn't love hugging their thighs?

On the one hand, Li Liang's idol aura is too strong, far surpassing Yao Ming, how to be teammates with such players, how to communicate, how to adjust mentality, are all problems.

As the head coach and team leader, there is another layer of worry, that is, will Li Liang play a big name?

Judging from his various words and deeds in the media, he is an arrogant person, and of course he has arrogant capital.

But for the team, it's a management problem.

However, after meeting Li Liang himself, this worry quickly disappeared.

After Li Liang saw the members of the national team collectively welcoming him at the base, the first thing he asked was, "Is there anything to eat?" I'm hungry. ”

Li Liang was really hungry, and there was not enough food to eat along the way.

After Chai Wensheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes! There is stewed braised pork that I made myself! ”

"Is it much?"

"Much, enough, first hold on to your fill. This is the directive of the leadership. ”

Chai Wensheng received instructions from his superiors to take care of Li Liang's diet and daily life.

Especially eating, it is said that this comrade from the United States was reincarnated as a starving ghost, and he was especially able to eat.

Sure enough, after Li Liang settled his luggage, he began to eat and ate openly.

This amount of food immediately shocked the members of the national team.

Of course, this scene is peculiar.

Li Liang ate in the restaurant, and everyone in the national team watched him eat from the sidelines.

Li Liang felt like a panda being visited.

"Is my meal so good-looking?" Li Liang asked.

"We just want to see how the No. 1 NBA star eats."
