Chapter Eighty-Four: The Journey (I)

In mid-April, north of the Northeast.

As the second youngest province in the Republic, the Lingbei Special Administrative Region returned to the motherland ten years before the Beihai Special Administrative Region.

Different from the earth's time and space, the republic of this time and space is the largest country in the world today, and the "Northern Bear" has not been as strong as the earth's time and space, although the revolution of that year also occurred in the land controlled by Tsarist Russia, but it was nipped in the bud, and the "Northern Bear" controlled by the Tsarist Russian royal family did not make peace with Germany in World War I, but fought desperately and finally dragged it to the end of World War I.

It was during this period that the Republic gained state power, and then completely defeated the invaders in World War II and became the leader of the Eastern world.

Sandwiched between the Eastern world and the Western world, the "Northern Bear" has become a duplicitous character, and in order to ensure the rule of its own royal family, the "Northern Bear" has been engaged in a hot relationship with Western European and American countries on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has maintained a certain connection with the Republic.

In addition, in order to make their ruling power more stable, after World War II, the Tsarist royal family in power in the Northern Bear began to implement a high welfare policy for the people, and in order to maintain the national welfare, the Northern Bear Tsarist Russian royal family began to sell its own resources.

The Far East, which is vast and sparsely populated and lacks sufficient control, is an out-and-out chicken rib in the eyes of the Russian royal family, as long as their own royal rule is stable enough, they don't care about the rest.

Therefore, although the countries of the Western world strongly opposed the land sale of Tsarist Russia, the Russian royal family finally fell under the silver bullet offensive of the republic, and the Lingbei Special Administrative Region and the Beihai Special Administrative Region added up to nearly 3 million square kilometers of land, and they returned to the jurisdiction of the republic one after another after the economic situation of the republic improved.

At first, some people in the country felt that it was really unnecessary to spend so much money to buy two pieces of land, but when the population of the Republic ushered in a period of rapid growth after World War II, these people did not have any opinions, I have to say, the Chinese enthusiasm for the land is always the greatest, this enthusiasm is probably rooted in the genes, even the residents of the city, when they see a little soil, they will unconsciously want to plant something, put it in the game, the Chinese race talent planting this item should be full value.

As the capital of the Lingbei Special Administrative Region, Vladivostok is now the largest and most prosperous city in the Far East, and due to its good immigration policy, Vladivostok has attracted immigrants from all over the country, and even people from several surrounding countries have tried to come to the city, after all, as long as they live here for three years, they can obtain permanent residency.

Wang Lei was only 17 years old when he first came to Vladivostok with the team to play, and at that time Wang Lei could be said to be the youngest player to play in the top league of men's basketball of the Republic, but when he first came to Vladivostok, he was lost in the "enthusiasm" of local fans.

It has to be said that although Vladivostok is a city of immigrants, the people of this city have a much stronger sense of belonging than other cities, and they almost make the visitors feel as if they have really invaded the place, and they have to deal with enemies from all sides at any time.

Unfortunately, Wang Lei's provincial youth team's first opponent in the northern division of the National Games Youth Basketball Qualifiers was the Lingbei Special Administrative Region Youth Team.

As a result of its good immigration policy, the Lingbei Special Administrative Region has attracted immigrants from many neighboring countries, and the Republic has treated these immigrants with a policy of treating them equally, and these immigrants have gradually integrated into this great country.

It must be said that the centripetal force of the Chinese nation is not comparable to any Western country, and this inclusive nature of all things made many first-generation immigrants quickly fall in love with this country.

Due to the large number of immigrants, the Lingbei Special Administrative Region has produced many talented athletes after the gradual economic improvement, and basketball is one of the most popular sports in the city of Vladivostok, although they are one of the youngest provinces in the Republic, but they have won many championships in various leagues of the Republic.

The first opponent is a well-known strong team in the northern division, and Wang Lei's luck can be said to be very bad.

The qualifiers were divided into four regions, with Wang Lei's Frontier Province youth team competing in the northern region, the central and southern divisions, and the less competitive overseas divisions.

The top four in each division will participate in the final stage of the youth group of the National Games, Wang Lei's team wants to advance, and the difficulty is still very large, after all, from the news that Wang Lei has learned now, other provinces attach great importance to this youth group competition, and the youth teams of many provinces are composed of young players from the top teams of their respective provinces.

Taking the players on a long trip, this is something Wang Lei has never done before, he is the coach of the team, and he is also the person in charge of the whole team, so he has to make the final decision on big and small things.

Wang Lei, who had a dispute with Frontier University before, can't take care of it now, and he now has to lead the team to play this first qualifier.

However, Wang Lei is not worried that Frontier University will make trouble for him again, after all, judging from the follow-up events, Hawul's punishment is gone, and Frontier University has not restricted Hawul and Sun Dexun from participating in the provincial youth team.

It was the first time for these college players to play in a city so far away, and some of them had never even been out of the Frontier Province, let alone from the far northwest of the Republic to the far northeast to play a game.

Although they all behaved a little restrained, but fortunately, the mood of the players was also good, after all, the previous airport warm-up game had made them confident, so Wang Lei did not have to worry about the problem of stage fright of the players now.

After all, it is the largest city in the Far East, and the economic development of Vladivostok, which has very good port conditions, is much better than that of the border province, so even if it is a competitor, the other party does not treat the youth team of the border province harshly in terms of accommodation and other basic conditions.

Although Wang Lei's team has a certain popularity in the border province because of the previous warm-up match, they are nothing in the entire northern division, and the opponent respects them so much, which can only be said to be a contempt for their strength, because the Lingbei youth team has never felt how powerful the opponent in the border province will be.
