Chapter 397: Yao Ming's Melancholy
"Yes, look at this, this is a photo of Yi Jianlian and Durant standing together from domestic netizen PS!"
On July 6, 2007, on a private jet from Seattle to Las Vegas, Wang Han, a CCTV reporter next to Ye Si, chattered non-stop.
Ye Si looked down at the tablet that was handed over from Wang Han's hand.
The photo above is a photo of Yi Jianlian and Durant at training camp in Seattle.
Yi Jianlian was wearing the training uniform of Supersonic No. 11, with a shy and shy smile on his face, his arms were thick, and he stood there with strength.
Another player standing next to Yi Jianlian was wearing a supersonic No. 35 training uniform, with a sad expression on his face, empty eyes, his head bowed, and his limbs were thin like a hungry man who had just come out of Africa.
"Yes, what do you think, isn't it interesting?!"
“……”
Ye Si looked at Yi Jianlian's obviously unreal biceps, and then looked at Durant's skinny arms, and he didn't know what to say.
"Yes, look at the words next to them."
The real role model: resolute eyes, tall body, strong body, powerful arms, confident smile, the number 11 bravely showed the world the confidence to be the best two players in the world, high head, looking at the limit of the sky!
False list of eyes: sloppy eyes, emaciated body, weak figure, bony arms, blank expression, 35 number nervous and not confident, this is the fifteenth person to be on the team? With a slightly lowered head, he always looks at the garbage and the garbage thrown in front of him.
This describes......
"Yes, now that Durant hasn't played a game, he has the nickname of Du 15 in China."
“……”
"Talented!"
“……”
Speechless.
Durant is now black in the American world of public opinion, blacker than oil.
However, it seems that Durant is still darker in China.
The media and fans in the United States still use data to speak.
The domestic media and fans have already begun to process art.
I'm afraid it's not just the United States and China, but the rest of the world is about the same.
The sinister environment in which Durant will find himself next season is shocking.
Now Yes's side, whether it is the media, fans or others, is ready to throw the black pot of next season's supersonic failure on Durant.
They're urging Leaf to be less stubborn and fight for the lottery to bring Beasley or Mayo to Seattle.
In order for Ye Si not to have any worries, then help Ye Si push away the responsibility of next season's supersonic lotto.
However, this is the idea of the media and fans who supported him, and those who hacked him are now also crazy about Black Durant, egging on Yes to fight for the lottery next season.
If Yes is really lottery, these people will definitely not only black Durant, he will definitely not be able to run.
Now this storm of public opinion brought by Durant is treacherous.
Yes, one of the central figures in this storm, is now temporarily emerging from the storm.
"Little Leaf!"
As soon as Ye Si and Wang Han walked out of the Las Vegas airport, they saw two familiar and tall figures.
"Brother Yao?"
Ye Si was a little surprised to see Yao Ming.
Shouldn't there be no Yao Ming in this national team training camp?
Ye Si unexpectedly, Yi Jianlian, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly took the initiative to take the luggage from Ye Si's hand, and stood silently beside Ye Si and Yao Ming.
The respectful appearance made CCTV female reporter Wang Han's beautiful eyes blink and blink.
If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's outstanding height, and the way he was standing next to Yes and Yao Ming with his luggage now, no one would think that he was the fourth pick in the NBA this year.
"Little Yezi, I've had a hard time all the way."
"It's nothing, Brother Yao, what are you?"
"I also just arrived, and the United Arab Emirates came to pick me up, and by the way, I waited here to pick up Xiaoye together."
"Brother Yao didn't return to China?"
"I'll go back to China tomorrow, come and see everyone today, and by the way, I also want to thank Xiao Yezi in person."
The smile on Yao Ming's face was sincere, without the slightest hint of falsehood.
He was selected for the national team in 1998.
1999 Asian Championships.
2000 Olympic Games.
2001 Asian Championships.
2002 World Championships.
2003 Asian Championships.
2004 Olympic Games.
2005 Asian Championships.
2006 World Championships.
That's what he does every summer.
There are also various friendly matches in between.
It's okay before I didn't get into the NBA, and this kind of trip is acceptable.
But since I entered the NBA, it feels completely different.
Over the years, after playing in the NBA, I played in the national team, and after playing in the national team, I went back to play in the NBA.
It is incumbent upon you to serve the country, and you can't shirk taking the money of the rocket and racing for the rocket.
But as a big center, such a continuous rotation is really tiring and tiring.
Even if this year is the wedding year of him and Xiao Ye, the wedding date is set for August 3.
According to the national team's previous plan, he will need to participate in five games of the national team's Las Vegas training camp.
If it weren't for the fact that the Rockets had gone a little far in the playoffs this year.
He also needs to participate in the previous competitions held in China against the Melbourne Tigers, the Italian Stars, the Australian Stars, the American Stars and a bunch of sponsors.
Now there is still a month left before he and Ye Zi get married, and listening to Lao Hu and Lao Bai, the leaders are still discussing whether to take away his love and let him take the second team to the Asian Championships again.
If that's the case, then it's really desperate.
In fact, hearing Lao Hu and Lao Bai say this, he was already desperate.
But the turning point that he never expected appeared.
"In the next Asian Championships year, Yao Ming will not have to participate in the national team training, my popularity and strength should be enough, if the game can't sell tickets, the Asian Championships can't win the championship, I voluntarily quit the national team."
"If Yao Ming is still allowed to participate in the Asian Championships, I will quit the national team now."
Lao Hu and Lao Bai said that the leaders of the national team were stunned at that time.
He wasn't in the leader's office, and he didn't know what the leaders were doing.
But just listening to Lao Hu and them repeat Xiao Yezi's words, Yao Ming felt his blood boiling and tears welled up in his eyes.
After being in the national team for so long, I finally have a real teammate of the same level who can advance and retreat together.
And this teammate is also extraordinarily domineering.
And in the face of his domineering, others really have no way at all.
It's a lot better than he really is.
He couldn't have done something like Xiaoyezi.
looked at Yao Ming and Ye Si, who were talking and laughing, and Yi Jianlian, who was standing with his luggage, his eyes were full of admiration.
"In the future Asian Championships year, Brother Ye will not have to participate in the national team training, my popularity and strength should be enough, if the game can't sell tickets, the Asian Championships can't win the championship, I voluntarily quit the national team."
"If Brother Ye is still allowed to participate in the Asian Championships, I will quit the national team now."
It's been like this in his dreams these days.
It wasn't just Yao Ming who was excited when he heard Lao Hu and Lao Bai repeat this passage.
It's just that now he doesn't have the strength, and he doesn't dare to say such domineering words.
In order to prepare for this year's Asian Championships and next year's Olympic Games, the national team will conduct a 10-day intensive training camp in the United States from July 1 to July 11.
And this is also Yes to come to the national team training camp.
He should have reported to the national team last year, considering that he had just played the NCAA finals, participated in the draft, and had not been with his family for so many years, Yao Ming helped him turn off the task of the national team.
Now helping Yao Ming to shirk the task of the Asian Championships in the future can be regarded as his gratitude to Yao Ming.
"Xiao Yezi, I and the United Arab Emirates will take you to the place where the national team is training."
"Hmm."
In the training hall of the University of Las Vegas, 30 players from the first and second teams of the Chinese men's basketball team are now conducting daily training under the command of the head coach of the first team, Younas, and the head coach of the second team, Adijiang.
It's just clear that the men's basketball players on the training ground are not focused on training right now.
Groups of three or two chatted non-stop.
"I heard that the UAE has received Da Yao, and Da Yao is now taking the UAE to pick up Ye Si!"
"Da Yao and Ah Lian are picking up Ye Si?!"
"Forget about the United Arab Emirates, Da Yao is not necessary, right?"
"Even if it's ......"
"Even if you say, in the entire men's basketball team, who is as domineering as Yes?"
"Da Yao, this is grateful and convinced!"
"Then who do you say the national team will listen to in the future?"
"Of course it's Da Yao's!" xN
"Of course it's Ye Si!" xN
The young people all supported Yes.
The older ones all supported Yao Ming.
Whether it's in the national team or in other professional teams, there's only one boss.
Especially in basketball, there are so many things that the boss has to do with it.
It's not just the status of the team.
There is also a tactical position.
At critical moments, it's a matter of who hands the tactics to execute.
Not to mention the players of the national team, as the current head coach of the national team, Younas is quite troubled.
The annoyance of happiness.
As perhaps the best head coach in international basketball, when he accepted the task of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2008 Olympic Games, he really did not expect that there would be such a day.
His team actually has two NBA top 10 superstar players!
In addition to these two superstars, there is also a rookie with the fourth pick in the NBA Draft, and a rookie with the 20th pick in the NBA Draft.
This lineup, except for the dream team, is simply invincible!
When he first accepted the men's basketball team, his goal was only to reach the Olympic quarterfinals, and if he still aims for the Olympic quarterfinals now, he himself will not forgive himself.
With the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, if he doesn't do anything, the Olympic quarterfinals are a sure thing.
Now his goal is not the quarterfinals.
Instead, continue the dream of 2000!
In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he led Lithuania to almost kill the undefeated peak dream team, the dream team!
Before Argentina took out the Dream Team, the first person to beat the Dream Team was supposed to be his.
It's a pity that Sarunas Jaskovicius's last three-point strike failed, and Lithuania lost to the Dream Team by two points.
Now the Dream Team is gone for the first time.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth times are gone.
But he doesn't mind being the sixth head coach to beat the Dream Team!
This is the supreme dream of every basketball head coach!
Not every manager has that opportunity.
He had such an opportunity and failed.
Now, God has put this opportunity in front of him again.
If he misses it again this time, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Now he knows exactly what the key is to leading China to defeat the Dream Team.
The key is the degree of cooperation between Yes and Yao!
Who are the main of the two?
Yao is now the No. 1 center in the NBA and the No. 1 center in FIBA.
Yes is the current No. 1 guard in the NBA and probably the No. 1 guard in FIBA.
Unlike the current national team players who are chattering on the training ground, he has been struggling with this issue for more than half a year.
When the storm of Yes blew in the NBA, he was constantly struggling.
I still haven't found any way to do it.
Five-five.
Just like the support of the rest of the players in the national team right now.
In his mind, the power to support Yes and support Yao is also wide.
Yes has higher popularity, even higher strength.
But he's on the outside.
Even if the Suns win the NBA championship this year, for most people, the influence of the inside line is still greater than that of the outside line.
Crunch.
Just when Younas had a headache, the door to the University of Las Vegas training hall was pushed open.
Younas and the people in the training gym almost immediately set their eyes on the door that had been pushed open.
"Xiao Yezi, this time the national team was able to conduct such a large-scale training camp in the United States thanks to you, because of you, the national team's training camp was all free of charge, and it was contracted by the organizer of Las Vegas."
After Yi Jianlian pushed the door open in front, he turned sideways and let Ye Si in, and he continued to walk behind Ye Si and Yao Ming like a follower, carrying Ye Si's luggage.
Well?
Yao Ming was briefing him on the situation of the national training team along the way.
Both walked side by side.
But when he stepped into the door of the training hall, Yao Ming actually stopped half a step.
Faced with Ye Si's surprise, Yao Ming smiled and made a gesture to Ye Si.
"Xiao Yezi, everyone should have been looking forward to you for a long time."
Ye Si, who originally wanted to say something, looked at Yao Ming's sincere gaze, and finally nodded with a deep breath.
Ye Si is in front of the middle, Yao Ming on the right is half a step behind, and Yi Jianlian is one step behind.
Seeing the pillars of the three national teams is this way of playing.
The surprise, disbelief, and disbelief on the faces of Younas and the national team players at the training ground were extraordinarily exciting.
"Let's make it!"
Bian Qiang, who was still surprised, was almost pushed down by the force behind him.
Bian Qiang, who was about to be angry, was forced to suppress his anger when he saw that it was Sun Yue who pushed him away.
I can't afford to mess with it.
Under the strategy of making concessions to the 08 Olympics in the national team, Sun Yue, the new celebrity of the national team, no one can afford to provoke him.
And unlike the modesty of the United Arab Emirates, Sun Yue is quite unsociable.
It's also quite proud and arrogant.,It's annoying to look down on people.。
It's not just him who thinks about it, the rest of the national team thinks it this way.
But now, this annoying, arrogant and proud guy is now taking the initiative to run forward to give Ye Si training clothes?!
looked at Sun Yue, who was behind Ye Si, side by side with Yi Jianlian, holding a training uniform in his hand.
Is this still that proud little peacock?
Yes.
Yao.
Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue.
Watch the four most important people of the national team come towards you.
The expression on Younas's face was rather complicated.
Do you still need to worry about who to focus on?
Of course not!
Younas, who came back to his senses, looked at the young man who was getting closer and closer, with an incredible expression.
"Hello Mr. Younas, I'm Yes."
There is no expression, no emotion can be seen, and the eyes are calm, but they can unexpectedly cause people extremely great pressure.
This is the Seattle miracle that made Yao take the initiative to let the team out, Hurricane Garfield!
This is the second time Younas has held such a heavy hand.
Last time, it was Jordan.
At that time, behind Jordan was the magician, Big Bird.
Ye Si looked at the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team in front of him a little strangely, and always felt as if he saw something turbulent in his eyes.
Isn't it just an ordinary greeting?
After getting to know the head coach of the national team, Ye Si met several assistants of Younas under the recommendation of Yao Ming, the head coach of the second team Adi Jiang, and the assistant coaches of the first team Gong Xiaobin, Li Qun, and Guo Shiqiang.
There are also two leaders of the national team, Lao Hu and Lao Bai.
This time I came to the United States for training, and there was no leader of the men's basketball team.
"Xiao Yezi, how do you feel about the first national team training?"
"Okay."
"It's not okay, just one day of training sessions, you beat everyone down!"
Yao Ming thought it was incredible.
One-on-one heads-up, whether it is a defender, a forward or a center, there are only a handful of players who can score from Xiaoyezi's hands!
"This is the NBA's MVP and FMVP Nash-certified best guard of all time?"
"I feel like I can't do anything in front of him!"
"We are quite good on the outside, but I didn't expect that our No. 1 inside line in Asia, except for the UAE and roughly Da Yao, everyone else will have difficulty scoring in front of Yes."
"After all, it's the best defensive player in the NBA, and that's understandable."
Yao Ming withdrew his gaze from his teammates, always with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yao, why?"
"What, why?"
"You know."
Ye Si looked at Yao Ming quietly.
Faced with such a look, Yao Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Xiao Yezi, compared to me, you are more suitable to be a leader, and you are ......"
"And?"
"Little Yezi, I'm really going to lose weight in the offseason."
Lose weight?
I see.
In the NBA, as O'Neal has aged, Yao Ming's weight has slowly done more harm than good.
But on the international stage, Yao Ming's weight has always been the backbone of the national team.
Losing weight, for Yao Ming, is a loss to the country and self-interest.
"Xiaoyezi, I'm not a qualified leader, I ran away when the national team needed me the most."
The 2008 Beijing Olympics is a century-old dream of 1.3 billion people.
Any sports person is eager to do something on this stage.
He could have done more.
Right now......
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Look down on Xiaoyezi? How could it be ......"
Yao Ming wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Si.
"You don't think I can make up for the weight you've lost?"
"Little Leaf ......"
Yao Ming was stunned.
"Do what you can, the rest, with me."
Others, there is me......
When Yao Ming came back to his senses, Ye Si had already left.
