Mr. Li's Nike trip to Asia also included South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With Japan's example, other countries have not been able to find any street ball players to challenge Li Dong's authority, and he is already the first basketball player in Asia.

On July 5, Wang Zhizhi officially announced his retirement at a press conference, ending his brilliant career in the men's basketball team, which is regrettable.

Wang Zhizhi's influence is huge, his super athletic skills and performance in the strong country is enough to silence anyone who doubts him, in the NBA for so many years, successfully promoted basketball in China, more and more young people because of Yao Ming fell in love with the NBA, liked the Rockets, and then fell in love with other NBA stars, but Wang Zhizhi was the first Chinese player to land in the NBA.

In fact, the debate over whether Li Dong has taken over the scepter has long begun, and all parties have their own opinions, and in the 2015 Forbes China Celebrity List, Li Dong surpassed Fan Bingbing, Jay Chou and other veteran acting stars, and became the first place on the celebrity list in one fell swoop. The development of professional sports in China is not mature, and among the 100 stars who have entered the list, only three sports stars, in addition to Li Dong, there are 15 Li Na and 72 Lin Dan, which is very different from the sports stars on the global Forbes celebrity list.

As the most senior veteran in the basketball world, he has retired, and Li Dong naturally wants to be interviewed and say a few words.

Since the last stop in Taiwan, many media have asked for interviews along the way, but they can't stop them.

Reporters from national sports media, including Tencent, Sina, Sohu and NetEase, came to Li Dong with long guns and short guns, asking for an interview.

"He is a legend and a mentor in my life. He has made important contributions to the development of Chinese basketball and even the world's basketball. But basketball career is only a part of the long road of life, Wang Zhizhi can be successful in the field of basketball, and he will definitely have better development in other places in the future, bless him......"

An affectionate blessing, albeit simple. But the emotions are sincere.

At the same time, other players of the Chinese men's national basketball team were also interviewed, and the generals expressed their respect for Wang Zhizhi, and recalled that those who fought with Wang Zhizhi back then were also in tears.

In August, Li Dong sent Xing Jinwen back to Gainesville, and then rushed back to Beijing to officially participate in the national team training camp!

At this time, the NBA has been officially suspended for a month, and the NBA's stars from all walks of life are panicking. No one knows how long the shutdown will last, and there are rumours that the shutdown could last until next year, and if that is the case, it may not even be half a season.

The closer we get to the start of the new season, the more free agents start to get restless, and if they really don't have income, then they will lose their jobs? How can that be?

At this time, Chinese professional basketball has entered the field of vision of many NBA stars, compared to going to the European Basketball League to pan for gold. The start and end time of the Chinese basketball league is closer to that of the NBA, and in terms of income and treatment, it is not less than that from Europe.

The Asian Championships will be held in Changsha City, in order to welcome this important event that is directly related to the entrance ticket to next year's Olympic Games. The men's basketball training camp has already begun, and there are currently 23 players in the basketball training center of the General Administration of Sports in Beijing, but the final squad for the Asian Championships is only 15.

So this is doomed, and now there are still many players in the list of participants in the training camp to be screened out. It's brutal.

Li Dong and his agent team met with the officials of the General Administration of Sports on the first night, this was the first time he met the officials of the legendary Basketball Association.

Li Dong is a non-drinker, he doesn't like the feeling of alcohol paralyzing his nerves, and the officials of the Basketball Association stretched out his thumb and praised Li Dong's professional demeanor.

The next day, the Basketball Association arranged for officials to take Li Dong and Joe Thomas into the sports training center.

……

On the field of the training center, the 59-year-old head coach of the national team, Gong Luming, wore a classic Chinese red training uniform and personally fed the young players of the Chinese team to shoot three points.

"Faster, faster!" Gong Luming clapped his hands, and the young point guard Guo Allen hung on the court like a wind.

"Pretty, 4.73 seconds!" Gong Luming pressed the stopwatch and praised loudly.

The young point guard Allen Guo showed a shy smile, he likes the feeling of sprinting like this, and can give full play to his speed advantage.

Gong Luming knew that Li Dong was coming over today, and he had long been thunderous about the biggest star in the Chinese national team.

Li Dong and Yi Jianlian are clearly different.

After graduating from high school, Li Dong went directly to the NCAA to study in college for a year in China, and after entering the NBA, he did not see the humility of the Oriental people at all, and he fought bravely in everything. Gong Luming studied Li Dong's college games, at that time, Li Dong always had a ruthlessness to respond to the ball, and if someone beat him, he would definitely find a chance to return it.

If Yao Ming also played like Li Dong in his first season, it would definitely be more than 13+8 data.

Li Dong proved his ability in his rookie season, and his outstanding talent was even compared to Maddie. What is the concept of averaging more than 24 points per game in the NBA? You know, like the absolute main force of many Asian countries, you can't even be a water cooler administrator in the NBA!

With such a terrifying NBA All-Star level player, Gong Luming is happy, but at the same time, he is also very sad. He learned tactics from the American coaching system, and he knows what kind of way the American coaches will train in order to cultivate a player's spirituality, which is completely different concepts compared to the Chinese coaching system. Li Dong has never played in an international match, can he adapt? Li Dong has never been trained in other ways, can he adapt?

Just as his thoughts were wandering, the door of the training center was pushed open with a "creak".

The players are training very seriously, only near the door, a few players who are practicing bench press heard the sound, turned their heads, everyone is very curious, these days closed training, but no one to disturb, this time can come in, will it be him?

The "first person" that everyone had heard of but had never seen......
