Yang Yiming's two-week trip to China will soon come to an end.

Eight Chinese cities.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing.

Only one last stop remains, Chongqing.

There were cities that he hadn't been to since he was a player. Maybe I've been there, but when I go, it's all for the game mission, and I'm looking at the city.

However, they all thought that they could relax and enjoy sightseeing in the city through this trip to China, but Yang Yiming found that in the end it became another form of sightseeing:

The Bund in Shanghai. In front of the small waist in Guangzhou. Next to the West Lake in Hangzhou. On the old city wall of Xi'an. In the wide and narrow alleys of Chengdu.

coincided with the sunny and rainy days on the mainland of the motherland, and Yang Yiming was alternating between heavy rain and sunny days, sometimes forgetting which city he was in and where his next destination was. Only the ever-changing iconic scene reminds him that he is in another city.

But no matter how the weather and the city change, what hasn't changed is the fans and the enthusiasm that surpasses the heat.

Fans on the inside and outside of each place were surrounded by water. Each of them has a different appearance and figure, and may also come from the surrounding villages and towns or all over the country, but they are all sweating profusely and expressing their support for Yang Yiming in their own ways.

Posters, glowing boards, jerseys, merchandise, and the most relentless shouts.

All boys and girls went into battle.

In this face-to-face posture, Yang Yiming still remembers the first time he saw the pick-up at the capital airport, a female fan rushed out of the encirclement of the crowd and almost killed him, shouting to give him a baby. That really scared him. Returning to the motherland for the first time after a few months, Yang Yiming realized for the first time how terrible the population base of the motherland is 1.3 billion.

Although there are fans in the United States, everyone is in twos and threes, and rarely groups of people, and when they see their idols, they will say hello from afar, at most ask for a group photo and autograph. The motherland fans are like a large army of overwhelming formation, Yang Yiming did take a while to slowly adapt to the whole trip to China.

Realizing that every Chinese person you meet can recognize your own feelings at any time is an unreal experience for everyone.

Suddenly, from a person walking on the road, at most he would be pointed at: "He is so tall, he must be playing basketball", to now, if Yang Yiming doesn't want to be recognized, he can only simply not go to the street, which is also a big change. He tried to be in Hangzhou, and one night after doing an activity, he walked out of the hotel and jogged around the Xixi wetland. He thought that he could take advantage of the cover of the night, and there were not many people around the wetland, so he would not be recognized by the fans.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yiming's solo jogging turned into a fitness running team of a group of people following him to the end. In the end, Yang Yiming had to run back to the hotel, and with the assistance of the lobby security, signed everyone who followed him, and then let the fans disperse.

"At night in the Xixi wetlands, running with idols".

The above title became the keyword of the video, and it was accompanied by music and special effects, and it was posted on the popular Douyin APP, attracting hundreds of thousands of clicks and views. For a period of time after the Xixi Wetland, there were fans waiting on the footwalk every night, so that Yang Yiming had obviously moved to the next city, and the tourist fans were still unabated.

Downstairs at the hotel in Shenzhen, he also received a full car of ANTA sneakers.

It was completely unexpected, after all, he had not yet chosen his own brand to sign with. Generally, after the star player signs the contract, the brand will send a large ticket of its own basketball shoes for the star to wear in daily games. But before Yang Yiming and Anta even started to negotiate, the other party offered such a warm and difficult gift, which made him surprised and delighted.

In the end, he decided to take the basketball shoes in this carriage, keep a few pairs of old shoes for himself, and send the rest to his teammates at all stages: some of them have not yet made a name for themselves, and there will never be a place for an extra pair of free sneakers in the shoe cabinet; And some of them have made a name for themselves and have a foothold in the CBA, so Anta was also an official sponsor of the CBA, and if they wanted, the sneakers they sent over could be directly put on their feet.

Yang Yiming himself has not yet decided whether to sign with Anta. Even if Klay Thompson's offer is very tempting, as one of the only two NBA stars of a domestic brand, the cost and resource tilt after joining the club will definitely be very generous, but after all, Anta can only be regarded as the head of the domestic brand at best, and it is far from the influence of Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and other international first-line influences.

So I took the sneakers and finally decided to wait until I heard the offers from each company!

The news brought by Stella Qin that appeared at the end really aroused Yang Yiming's interest. Played a warm-up game for the Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team. Although Stella refused to reveal much information, she quickly emailed the details of the warm-up match. This warm-up match is scheduled before the Stankovic Cup and the men's Asian Games for men's basketball, and the original plan for the Chinese men's basketball team this summer is for the blue team to participate in the Stankovic Cup and the red team to participate in the Asian Games. Yang Yiming was placed on the red team, because he had already reported his overseas training plan to the Basketball Association in advance, so the Basketball Association specially approved him not to participate in any warm-up games, and he could go directly to Jakarta to join the red team.

But according to Stella's email, an important condition for her to take the lead in this warm-up game is that Yang Yiming must also participate, so she interrupted the project promotion meeting attended by Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun on the phone before, and finally had to take "technical" means to forcibly insert the video connection.

If Yang Yiming can be sure to attend, this highest-level confrontation between the Chinese and American men's basketball teams is expected to take shape.

Play ahead of the start of the new season!

The dream team of the American men's basketball team, led by Spurs head coach Popovich, is indeed worthy of the name of "Dream Team", and can be said to be the strongest lineup of the dream team after Dream One. It includes 35 superstars from various teams, including All-Star starters such as Kevin Durant, LeBron James, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis.

Yang Yiming started with these guys during the All-Star Weekend last season, and if it is really organized as Stella said, then he will have a chance to play alone this time!

It's exciting to think about.

Yang Yiming agreed without hesitation. Even if the gap between China and the United States is obvious and the hope of winning is slim, he can take turns playing against the best in the NBA in one game and test the results of his summer training, and with his competitive spirit, he will have to give it a try anyway.

Speaking of exciting summer training, Yang Yiming is about to fly to Wolfburg, Germany, to receive special training in shooting. Nowitzki's mentor, Hogel, will be his teacher for this special training.

But before that, he has one last leg left on his trip to China.

That was his hometown when he was a teenager, the mountain city of Chongqing.
