Chapter 219: Olympics, Encounter with the American Team
August 2, 2024, Paris, the 33rd Summer Olympic Games will open in Paris.
"It's my first time in Paris, and I'm a little excited!"
As soon as Li Mulin stepped off the plane, he was surrounded by the bustling Paris Charles. Charles de Gaulle Airport was amazed.
"Look at your uninformed look!" Wang Deming, who was on the side, glanced at Li Mulin and looked at him with disgust.
Li Mulin shook his head embarrassedly, "This is not the first time I've come, and I'm quite excited!" ”
"You are now representing your country, pay attention to your quality, do you know, our China is also a world power, don't look like a hillbilly."
Wang Deming's requirements for his team members are very simple, the rest doesn't matter, and he must not embarrass the country.
Meng Xiaohao: They also know what they represent, they now represent the face of the country, and they must not embarrass the country.
Meng Xiaohao straightened his suit and tied his tie, this is his first international competition, he must perform well and win glory for the motherland, this is his dream.
Of course, there is indeed another difficult problem in front of him now.
They were surrounded by fans in France......
As the top basketball player in the world now, Meng Xiaohao's popularity in France is super high, although he has not been to France in the offseason, it does not mean that he is not famous.
There were countless fans waiting outside on the passage out of the airport, and although they were all blocked behind the security line, there were still many fanatical fans who rushed out of the security line......
If one fan rushes out of the safety line, there will be a second or third, and the scene gradually becomes a little uncontrollable......
But Meng Xiaohao still showed enough patience, he patiently signed autographs for fans, took photos with fans, and helped the airport staff maintain order, which can be said to be a very good example of a public figure.
Meng Xiaohao's patience with the fans is very good, and although he was touched by some open female fans, Meng Xiaohao still smiled.
The teammates around him were also impressed by Meng Xiaohao's patience, to be honest, if he were to be himself, I am afraid that he would already be very angry.
This may also be one of the reasons why Meng Xiaohao can become a superstar.
……
Meng Xiaohao and the others had just walked out of the airport, and behind them, there was another shout of a mountain and a tsunami.
The players of the Chinese team were a little strange, they looked back, and suddenly they were standing in place, and there was a group of people standing not far from them......
U.S. National Team!
The Chinese team and the American team seemed to have been discussed, and the arrival time of the two teams was very close.
"It seems that there is a great character......
Wang Shengqiang looked at the group of people in the American team, all of whom were the pillars of the North American league team.
Brooke, Derek, Siwell, Surrey, Middleton, Cobb, Edik. This American team is a terrifying existence.
But this time, Tom. Kruson did not play in the national team, and his reason was simple, he wanted to give the stage to the youngsters, so that these young people who were just rising could go to international competitions.
So the average age of the U.S. team this year has not reached 28 years old, there is only one veteran here, the rest are young people, and the rookies of the class of 2019 account for the majority.
Naturally, they also saw the Chinese team not far in front of them, Brooke waved his hand to Meng Xiaohao, and Meng Xiaohao also responded.
"Yo! Long time no see! What a coincidence! ”
Brooke stepped forward, and the members of the U.S. team behind him also walked over.
"This is fate, there is an old Chinese saying, called fate, wonderful."
Meng Xiaohao and Brooke hugged each other tightly and patted each other on the back.
The players of the American team also came to Meng Xiaohao's side, hugging and greeting him.
"That's what it's like to play in the U.S., and you get to know a lot of world-class superstars." Wang Shengqiang looked at Meng Xiaohao and the others in front of him and smiled helplessly.
"But this premise has to be played by yourself!"
Li Mulin shrugged his shoulders helplessly beside him, as if mocking his lack of ability.
"How about it, seeing our lineup, were you scared!"
Sivier smiled and pointed at his teammates, looking at Meng Xiaohao with a smug expression.
"Yes, yes, yes! You're the strongest, you're the best, you're the best in the world! Meng Xiaohao shrugged his shoulders and praised the American team without sincerity.
"But alas, you're only on paper."
Meng Xiaohao didn't forget to add.
"What do you mean?" Derek on the side immediately realized that Meng Xiaohao's words were not good, and immediately stepped forward, "Are you provoking us?" ”
"Of course, I'm provoking you!" Meng Xiaohao smiled wickedly, his eyes staring at Derek.
"Do you think you have the capital to provoke us?" Derek couldn't help but smile, "Look behind me, these are the pillars of the teams in the world's top leagues, and what about you?" ”
Derek looked at the players of the Chinese team not far behind Meng Xiaohao.
When Meng Xiaohao heard this, he snorted coldly, "So what, a good chemistry will be better than the strength of your lineup, don't underestimate the Chinese team, you know?" ”
"Of course we won't underestimate the Chinese team, because you're here!" Brooke smiled and patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder.
Meng Xiaohao shook his head, "Even without me, the Chinese team is very strong, they have Li Mulin, you know, North American League players, and Wang Shengqiang, many teams in the North American League have been contacting him recently." ”
"And then, so what, isn't it a notch worse than us?"
"Don't underestimate them, they are as young as you, as talented as you, and they will suffer a big loss if they underestimate others, you know? Chinese are good at making miracles! ”
Meng Xiaohao's serious seriousness also made the surrounding American team members serious, and they all knew that Meng Xiaohao was very terrifying after becoming serious, and he must not be underestimated.
Brooke and Derek looked at the Chinese team members who were standing there watching them and smiled slightly......
"Since you say they have talent and strength, let's take a look at them in the game! Strength is not just words, it is shown with practical actions! ”
"Ahh Of course! Don't be afraid to pee your pants! The corners of Meng Xiaohao's mouth twitched upward, his face full of confidence, "You also have to fight hard, it's still quite embarrassing to be eliminated when the time comes!" ”
"You too, if you are eliminated, your so-called strength will not be able to show!"
Meng Xiaohao stretched out his fist, and Brooke also stretched out his fist and went up.
"It's a deal!"
