Chapter 3 From the Other Side of the Ocean
On July 13, 2001, far away in Moscow, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is making its final preparations, and it will soon be here that Samaranch will announce who will host the 2008 Olympic Summer Games. www.biquge.info For some, it's not a big deal, but for some, it's a top priority.
Meanwhile, as far away as Seattle, Washington.
Since the end of the draft, Mo Xi began his "drifting" journey again, first went to Los Angeles, looked at the "frustrated" second-round pick Arenas, and then reconnoitred the enemy situation on the ground in Los Angeles, and determined that Kobe Bryant was training, and after O'Neal had started a vacation, he was impatient to come to Mo Zhiqiang.
In the past few years, Mo Zhiqian has almost become a full-time trainer of Mo Xi, from the very beginning of physical confrontation training, to later Mo Xi also began to do more intensive training, and even Mo Zhiqian began to have a lot of research on various targeted training.
In Mo Zhiqiao's words, the foundation of all sports lies in the athlete's body, and how to perfectly develop a person's physical potential is really an interesting topic for him.
At this time, Mo Xi's sweaty body was pulled to the living room by Mo Zhiqiang, with an inexplicable expression. Mo Xi said: "I still have three groups to finish, can't I wait for me to finish practicing?" ”
Mo Zhi said solemnly: "There will be many opportunities in your life for you to complete these three sets of training, but sometimes, some opportunities are only once. ”
Mo Xi rolled her eyes and said, "You are adapted from Charlie's chocolate workshop, don't forget what my mother does." ”
"Of course, I haven't forgotten," Mo Zhiqian said, "but I'm sure you will never miss this thing because of training, it is much more meaningful than training." Mo Zhiqian made a profound appearance, which made Mo Xi really unbearable to look at directly, but finally sat down.
A live meeting was being broadcast on the TV in the living room, and Mo Xi noticed that this was a Canadian TV station, which was very inconsistent with the usual rhythm of Mo Zhi's poor life. Soon, though, he was in some interest.
"The 2008 Summer Olympics?" Mo Xi muttered, as if he didn't grasp the point for a while, however, Mo Xi suddenly remembered something and said, "Whew, you mean ......"
Mo Zhiqian made a silent gesture, and the two of them sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the result.
Waiting is always restless, not to mention the biggest bureaucracy in sports.
Five delegations, Toronto, Osaka, Paris, Istanbul, and Beijing, came forward to speak at one time, and there was a public vote on the spot, and in the first round of voting, Osaka was directly eliminated, and Beijing led with an absolute advantage of 44 votes. Theoretically, as long as you get fifty-two votes, you will pass directly.
Somehow, Mo Xi felt a rare burst of excitement, he sat up from the sofa, straightened his back, and stared at the TV with a pair of eyes, which was as if he was in the finals.
Before each delegation spoke for forty-five minutes, Mo Xi felt that time was so difficult, but fortunately, time passed quickly, but at this moment, just a few minutes made Mo Xi feel like a needle cushion, and he couldn't help but think of the Knicks last season when they were out of the first round, playing a good ball for 47 minutes, but unfortunately it was overturned at the last minute, Mo Xi shook his head secretly, and drove this strange idea out of his mind.
Waiting will pay off.
The final decision came, and this time, even the prodigal Mo Zhiqian couldn't help but sit up straight and concentrate on it.
Samaranch began to speak with the final statistics.
It was just a very simple sentence, Mo Xi didn't even remember him much, he just remembered the place name, beijing.
Squinting drunkenly, leaning on the tree, a peach petal with thousands of flowers.
The clothes are scattered, and the rumors are in the air, no better than here, a paradise.
Mo Zhiqian has gone crazy.
Mo Xi couldn't count the first cases of beer that Mo Zhiqian had killed, originally he wanted to dry whiskey directly, but he felt that with his amount of alcohol, he could drink two bottles at most, which was not as good as such a case of dry beer. Mo Xi came to a conclusion very directly, in fact, Mo Zhi is poor, but I am afraid that many people are like this now. Isn't even Mo Xi a little crazy himself?
But at least Mo Xi still remembered very clearly that he still had three sets of training that he had not completed, and Mo Xi was secretly thinking in his heart, not knowing whether it was possible.
Mo Xi locked Mo Zhiqian in the living room and dialed the phone number of his agent, Bill Duffy.
Thanks to Moxi's excellent performance in the past few years, Bill Duffy has also ushered in an upswing in his agent career, but he still prefers to deal with individual players' matters personally, including Moxi.
"What, you can't forget to eat after training and plan to treat me, right? I'm not in Seattle. Bill Duffy's humorous and light-hearted voice came across the phone.
Mo Xi smiled lightly and said, "It's true that I haven't finished eating yet, because the training hasn't ended yet, I have more important things to do with you, have you read today's news?" ”
Bill Duffy thought about it for a while, there was a lot of news that could be related to Mo Xi, but there was not much news that could make Mo Xi put down his training and come to him. As soon as Bill Duffy turned around, he happened to see an electrical appliance store on the street, and suddenly realized, "I saw it, congratulations, Mo!" Is there anything I can do for you? ”
Mo Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think this should be considered your obligation, but I still hope that you can help me." ”
Bill Duffy frowned, Mo Xi has always been a player he likes very much, and the personal relationship between the two is also intimate, so Mo Xi can be said to be like this, it seems that things are not easy to do, Bill Duffy said: "What, I don't think you will let me recommend you to the first lady, right?" ”
When Mo Xi heard Bill Duffy's teasing, he also relaxed a little and said, "I want to participate in the Olympics." ”
Bill Duffy was silent, and after a while, Bill Duffy said: "You know, there will even be a lot of political issues in this, first of all, the first point is the issue of your nationality, you should know that your home country does not accept naturalized players now, and now they have a lot of high-quality insiders. ”
Bill Duffy is right, the place on the other side of the ocean is not very much in need of this center, they have one of the best super interior groups, you know, in the 2000 Olympic Games, even the Dream Three team, in the face of the mobile Great Wall, is also a little difficult to deal with, and the Dream Three team at that time, there is no shortage of Sharif Abdul Rahim, Mourning, Garnett, Adornio Davis and others, although not as bright as before, but also gold medalists, such a combination in the face of the mobile Great Wall are a little disadvantaged, They really don't have a shortage of centre-forwards.
Bill Duffy hesitated for a moment and continued: "Actually, the situation now is that you need them more than they need you, and I'm very impressed, in Sydney in 2000, that big man, the one called Yao, was so good that they would most likely turn you down. ”
"Oh" there was some frustration in Moxi's voice, in fact, Bill Duffy had thought about all of what he had said, but he still had a glimmer of hope.
Bill Duffy went on to say, "Actually, if you're willing to go in another capacity, I think you're more likely to succeed. ”
It was a good idea for Mo Xi to know what Bill Duffy meant, but Mo Xi was still unwilling to give up until the last step.
Bill Duffy continued: "Actually, you don't have to be so frustrated, after all, there is still a long time, when you are thirty-one years old, you are at the top of a center, maybe you are the top basketball player on the planet at that time, there is no one, I think at that time, no one will refuse you." ”
Mo Xi smiled happily on the other side of the phone, and he said, "So, first of all, I want to start a dynasty first. ”
Bill Duffy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, you need a dynasty, and now, you need a champion the most." ”
