Chapter 257 - Kick out of the national team
Because he went to Palo Alto City with the Chinese men's basketball team to practice with the Stanford men's basketball team a few days ago, Li Yao did not train with Kobe Bryant during this time, and now he is on the top position with Kobe Bryant again, Li Yao once again feels the terrible thing about Kobe, whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, the pressure that Kobe brought to Li Yao is not at all what Li Yao's group of friends can bring to Li Yao yesterday.
That's why Kobe Bryant can proudly call the players on the All-Rookie Team a rookie.
After playing against Kobe Bryant again, Li Yao had to sigh that only a player of Kobe's level can bring pressure and growth to him.
trained with Kobe Bryant again until about 8 o'clock, Li Yao and Kobe Bryant were also soaked in sweat again, and the two also looked at each other and smiled.
Li Yao, who returned home again, after a short rest, asked out his friends and had breakfast with them, originally Li Yao usually solved the breakfast problem directly at Kobe's house, but due to the influence of today's video, although Li Yao had already greeted these friends on the phone early in the morning, Li Yao still felt that it was better to apologize in person.
When everyone was having dinner with Li Yao, when Li Yao mentioned this matter again, everyone looked at Li Yao in puzzlement, didn't this matter have already been said in the morning, why did it come up again now.
"Lee, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Our relationship needs to be like this, and besides, this situation is also a fact, is it possible that Kobe Bryant has to apologize to those teams one by one after getting a high score? "Russell. Westbrook originally opened his mouth to say that it wasn't the video you posted, but when he thought about Gail. Gadot and Margot. The wonderful relationship between Robbie and Lee, Russell. Westbrook forcibly swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
"That's it, Lee, you don't have to." Brooke. Lopez, Li's old teammate, also frowned and said.
"Uh, okay. When I didn't say anything. Looking at the performance of his group of friends, Li Yao also knows that he seems to be a little worried, the way Americans think about things seems to be completely different from the Chinese, Li Yao's friends are also solved, the rest is the Chinese men's basketball team members, and Li Yao is also a little looking forward to what will happen this afternoon.
After breakfast, Li Yao asked everyone to go around Los Angeles together, not so much led by Li Yao as Li Yao let Eric. Gordon, a veteran who has been in Los Angeles for a year, leads the crowd on a tour of Los Angeles.
However, there were some small episodes during the period, that is, Li Yao and other special groups of people walked on the street, which immediately attracted a lot of attention, originally everyone was just curious about how there could be such a group of NBA players walking together on the street in the offseason, but after they took a closer look, they found that this group of people is not the group of protagonists of today's popular video.
The originally curious crowd also began to stir.
Li Yao also found something wrong, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to flash.
Finally got rid of the crowd of onlookers, Li Yao and the others had no idea of continuing to shop, and returned directly to the hotel, waiting for the second training game in the afternoon.
And Li Yao returned home again.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Yao came to the basketball hall again, the Chinese men's basketball team was also in place at this time.
Li Yao's arrival immediately attracted the attention of all the Chinese men's basketball team members present, and they also learned that the video of yesterday's zipper game was exposed.
Li Yao found that the eyes of these teammates contained all kinds of feelings, including hatred, envy and a few hints of indifference.
"I believe you also know the news that yesterday's training video was exposed, so before starting the warm-up today, let's discuss everyone's views on this matter." At this time, Director Guo stood at the front of the queue and spoke.
"If you don't have anything to say, then this matter is over, there is only one chance, and it will not wait." Da Yao also stood aside at this time to help.
Da Yao has only one purpose, that is, he wants to take this opportunity to clear up some discordant factors in the Chinese men's basketball team.
"I think it is very inappropriate for Li Yao, as the captain of the team, to directly use our training game video as a tool to promote his strength without consulting with the team." Just when the scene fell silent for a while, a voice came out of the queue of the Chinese men's basketball team.
"Clams? Damn, there are really people who are the first birds. Originally, Li Yao, who had not moved for a long time, was still glad that his prestige seemed to be relatively high, and no one questioned him, but who would have thought that Li Yao was slapped in the face before he was happy.
This person who stood up was Zhu Fangyu, one of the swingmen who was forcibly replaced by Li Yao in the last game, as Zhu Fangyu, who has steadily occupied the position of the starting small forward of the Chinese men's basketball team all the year round, was forcibly pressed on the bench by Li Yao as the captain of the Beijing Olympics at the time of the Beijing Olympics, and Sun Dasheng served as the team's starting small forward.
It's just that at that time, the entire Chinese men's basketball team was united under the leadership of Da Yao and wanted to win, although he also had some dissatisfaction in his heart, but in the end he suppressed this dissatisfaction.
And this time the Chinese men's basketball team came to the United States to practice, due to the retirement of Li Nan, a veteran, and Sun Dashengyuan's lack of cooperation with the members of the team in the United States, Coach Guo once again arranged for him and Dapeng to partner with the Chinese men's basketball team's swing guard, after all, the two were originally teammates in the domestic league, plus the two were originally long-term partners of the Chinese men's basketball team's guard swing line, so it is normal to start again.
But what he didn't expect was that in yesterday's game, because his performance was not good, Li Yao actually relied on his position as captain to replace himself shortly after the start, which made him very unhappy, but he was helpless Li Yao is the current captain of the Chinese men's basketball team and Li Yao's outstanding performance in the following games, so he can't complain.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Yao actually released the video of yesterday's training match, and his slightly embarrassed figure in the game also appeared in the video, which made him lose face, and he thought that he could only swallow his anger silently, but he didn't expect that today, Director Guo and Da Yao actually took the initiative to stand up and mention this matter, and the tone didn't seem to be good, he felt that he seemed to have a slight opportunity.
"Is there anyone else who thinks the same as Zhu Fangyu?" After Da Yao saw someone start, although their original intention was to check the internal discordant factors, he really didn't expect that someone would stand up so directly to play on the topic, Da Yao's heart was very uncomfortable at this time, this is the current atmosphere in their Chinese men's basketball team?
The rest of the Chinese men's basketball players, you look at me and I look at you, they all look a little confused, and they don't know what the situation is now.
Zhu Fangyu was also a little stunned at this time, he didn't expect that no one was willing to stand up and follow him to accuse Li Yao's behavior.
At this time, Li Yao was a little crying and laughing, didn't this Zhu Fangyu have any eyesight? Although Da Yao and Guo Daoming asked on their faces who had an opinion on themselves, they didn't even say the punishment, isn't the charm worth pondering.
In fact, the moment Zhu Fangyu stood up, Li Yao was still very curious about whether someone would stand up in the follow-up, but after a while, Li Yao found that no one continued to stand up at all, and suddenly hung Zhu Fangyu, who was the first bird, there.
"That's good, now only Zhu Fangyu has made accusations against Captain Li Yao, so then I will ask Director Guo to announce the next team announcement." Da Yao saw that only one of his teammates in the national team, Zhu Fangyu stood up, and he was also relieved in his heart, after all, when only one person accused Li Yao, Da Yao was still able to accept it.
"Then I will announce the announcement within the team, Zhu Fangyu, the starting small forward of the Chinese men's national basketball team, is temporarily retired from the national team because of his bad state, and will be hired after the state recovers in the future." Director Guo also knew that it was his time to play at this time, so he coughed lightly before speaking slowly.
As soon as the words of the head coach Guo came out, the rest of the members of the entire Chinese men's national basketball team fell into a stupor, although they had a premonition that something unusual was felt when Da Yao asked Guo to announce the announcement, but when Guo Gui directly announced that Zhu Fangyu would be kicked out of the national team, they could be regarded as reacting, it turned out that all this was a routine!
To put it nicely, Zhu Fangyu asked to retire due to poor condition, but everyone understood that this was killing chickens to show monkeys, and Da Yao and Guo Gui were establishing majesty for Li Yao, the captain.
"You can't do this, Li Yao himself is not doing it right, why do you want to favor him? He didn't even hesitate to kick me out of the national team! The fans at home will not agree, and I am going to report to the media about your behavior to exclude dissidents. At this time, Zhu Fangyu reacted and suddenly shouted angrily, he thought that this was a good opportunity to cause trouble for Li Yao, who would have thought that this was actually a trick by Li Yao, and he became the chicken they used to kill chickens to show the monkey and establish prestige.
Of course, Zhu Fangyu, who felt aggrieved, was not willing to quit the national team, the benefits that the national team can bring to them are not only reputation, but also very lucrative profits, especially after the current Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Dream Eight team in the Beijing Olympics, its reputation has reached its peak, bringing unprecedented benefits to them, the members of the national team, if people know that they are kicked out of the national team, the consequences are not what Zhu Fangyu dares or wants to imagine.
"Zhu Fangyu, I believe that domestic fans have also learned about your situation through that video, so I don't think anyone will raise objections to letting you temporarily leave the national team to adjust your state." Director Guo said faintly.
"Next, I announce that Sun Dasheng will serve as the starting small forward of this issue of the Chinese men's basketball team, by the way, I will say here that from now on, if there is anyone in the same competitive state as Zhu Fangyu, I will also suggest that he temporarily leave the national team to recuperate." After Director Guo finished speaking to Zhu Fangyu, he turned his head again and said to the rest of the Chinese men's basketball team members with a serious face.
