It takes 15 hours to fly from Beijing to Rio de Janeiro, but fortunately it is a special flight, and you can fly directly there, otherwise you will have to spend at least more than 20 hours on the plane if you want to make a transfer.

This time, the cabin of the men's basketball team is all first-class, with a wide position, and you can put down the seats to lie down and rest, and the others are stained with Liu Ren's light, like the 12 Olympic Games, they are all crowded into the economy class, with hundreds of other athletes and staff.

Liu Ren usually has very few entertainment activities, which he is similar to ordinary otaku, he likes to watch TV, play games, sing songs, watch movies, go shopping and clubbing, etc., so he can only sleep and watch movies on the plane for more than ten hours on a boring plane.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, they arrived in Rio de Janeiro and settled into the Olympic Village.

An Olympic Games is not only an increase in a city's image and popularity, but also a myriad of benefits for local residents.

Let's just say that those rich athletes come out and buy a bunch of local gifts, which can bring huge tourism income to the local area, not to mention those countless tourists, for developed countries may host the Olympics, for example, London, they spend billions of pounds on security, but for Brazil...... It's already chaotic here, don't come if you're afraid, and spend money when you come.

If athletes from the Americas, Africa, and Australia come to Brazil, they can get there in a few hours, Mexico is even more than two hours, and athletes from China and Europe are tired and have a flight of more than ten hours.

After arriving at the Olympic Village on the afternoon of the 30th, Liu Ren and his family came to the apartment building arranged by the government, and Liu Ren occupied a room in a suite in the small building belonging to their Chinese men's basketball team, and lay down to sleep directly.

Although there are two beds in that room, no one runs to squeeze him, in case he is beaten, it is really a white beating, it is said that some people have the gas to get up, they decided not to mess with Liu Ren, this guy is the master who beats the opponent to shock in the NBA.

The staff and number of the men's basketball team are relatively large compared to other sports, with 12 players, 7 coaching staff, 5 officials, 6 staff, 3 team doctors, and 4 trainers, adding up to 40 people.

……

……

On July 31, early in the morning, Liu Ren got up from the bed and slept for more than ten hours, emptying all the fatigue of training and long-distance performance for several days before.

After taking a shower, Liu Ren went downstairs to find a place to eat.

Since the anti-doping test even counts clenbuterol as a stimulant, Liu Ren didn't dare to go out and eat indiscriminately, so he asked the staff where the canteen was and went to the canteen for breakfast.

For breakfast, this is the place that Liu Ren is most unaccustomed to, in the past two summers, Liu Ren has not been in the morning when he gets up in the morning and does not prepare breakfast, because the big Lori will always prepare everything, this is the Olympics, it is impossible to bring the family.

There is one thing about domestic sports that is very bad, that is, if the players drag their families in the game, they will be scolded, and Liu Ren's public image is very important, he can be mad in the game, he can fight, but his self-discipline and seriousness in the game have always been his labels, which can be used to make money, so even if Liu Ren lives alone in the presidential suite in Qingdao, he does not bring Gary's people.

The athletes in the national teams of various countries are the leaders in their respective sports, and their self-discipline is generally very high, only a little more than seven o'clock, most of the players have already gotten up, and Liu Ren was stared at by many people on the way to the cafeteria.

Blacks, whites, yellows, brown-skinned people all set their eyes on him, and some even came up to him for autographs.

This is the Americas, although Brazil is a football paradise, but because of its proximity to the United States, basketball is also a popular sport here, the NBA is quite famous here, Liu Ren's popularity here is also very high, especially the building where he lives is very close to the building of American athletes, and many European and American athletes are his fans.

Walking to the cafeteria in their area, Liu Ren happened to meet some acquaintances, the dream team has changed sex this year? Liu Ren felt very strange, hadn't the dream team always chartered a hotel to live in? When I played the 08 Olympic Games in Beijing, I directly chartered a mountain farmhouse and a big hotel to spend a chic and happy time, envy other Olympic teams, how did I get to Brazil to live in a dormitory?

People on the U.S. team's side also noticed Liu Ren.

James, Harden, Anthony, Westbrook, and Kobe Bryant, the five members who have partnered in the '12 Olympics, are a little more familiar, so they sit at a table, along with Whiteside, Paul George, LaVine and others.

This year's U.S. team is the outside line composed of Harden, Westbrook, Irving, Thompson, Kobe, and LaVine, and the inside line composed of James, Durant, Anthony, Cousins, Paul George, and Whiteside......

Kobe Bryant's selection to the Dream Team, and Kidd's selection to the Dream Team in 2008 is a meaning, a mascot, and it should be his off-ball offense that has a role, but his current defense looks bad in the NBA, and he can still be just a wave in international competitions with a strong body.

"Lebang, you are participating in the Olympics again this year, Brother Blacksmith, you are actually in the dream team again, are you two here to drag your country back? And James, Carmelo, Russell, Zach, Paul, Klay, Hassan, so many of my teammates...... And Kevin...... Carey...... Hi ......" Liu Ren greeted James and them, and made a joke, and then saw several awkward figures sitting at the other table, Durant and Irving, and the two sat with the unsociable Cousins.

Durant and Irving, it seems that because of the awkward relationship now, they didn't say anything after saying hello to Liu Ren, especially Irving, who ignored Liu Ren, let alone Cousins, always had an expression that others owed him money.

The people in an alliance are all superstars, and these people are all familiar with each other, and they are all more enthusiastic about Liu Ren, including Westbrook, a guy who has always wanted to scare Liu Ren.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Thompson for more than a month, it feels a little weird, Liu Ren and Thompson used to be "sworn enemies" when they met, but now they are teammates, and they are going to hit the triple championship together, which is really strange.

"Hey boss, I haven't seen you for more than a month since the finals, but Kobe Bryant, Hassan and Klay are here this time, we can go and have a drink in the evening." James and Kobe Bryant have often exposed some photos of a good relationship in the previous two Olympic Games, and in fact, the two have always had a good relationship.

And James and Liu Ren ...... Although they played each other in the finals for two years and were called "enemies" by the media, there was no contradiction between the two except for the grievances of the two finals.

If you don't see much, you can't even get up if you don't even have a reason, and general contradictions happen to people who often meet and cooperate.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Hassan and Kobe and Klay, but our team rules don't allow drinking, our coach is Yannakis, that old man is very old-fashioned, if you know I drink, oh my God." When he was with James and Kobe, Liu Ren would drink some cocktails and alcoholic beverages, but he didn't dare to drink indiscriminately when it came to the Olympics soon.

Don't look at Yannakis has been angry in the Chinese men's basketball team for two years, people are also questioning his coaching level, his international status is very high, and the purpose of his return to China to coach now is to prove that he still has that ability, to prove that the poor performance in 13 years and 14 years is because of the problems of the Chinese Blue Association, and has nothing to do with his coaching ability.

"That Greek coach? God, boss, you know? The first time I played an international game, he took Greece to take him out, and it was said that he was an old stubborn, and you can take it. James remembered that he had failed in the first two Olympics, "but now we are not afraid of Giannakis, we have studied his tactics thoroughly." ”

James seems to have studied some of Giannakis, but what he doesn't know is that Giannakis coached the previous Chinese men's basketball team two years ago, and after two painful years, he has smoothed out the edges and corners and become more sleek, and the change in personality has made a new breakthrough in Giannakis's tactical concept.

A few people talked for a long time at the door of the cafeteria, and more and more people noticed them, their thirteen NBA superstars were a group of billionaires, and their bodies and muscles were so good, and many female athletes wanted to get on their boat and have something to do with them.

"Haha, let's go get some food first, I'm hungry after talking for a long time." James saw that there were more and more onlookers, and took a few people in to eat.

The food in the cafeteria is the kind of buffet, which makes Liu Ren a little regretful, there is no Chinese food he likes to eat, after all, most of the Chinese food is high-fat and high-oil food or even fried food, which is delicious, but it is not good for athletes.

Liu Ren took some vegetables, four fried eggs, a loaf of bread, a glass of milk, and ate it improvised, he was hungry and not too picky, in fact, he really wanted to eat pancakes or pies, buns, dumplings or something, but it was obviously impossible to provide them here.

Most of the others are eating hot dogs, ham, etc., James also nibbled on beef early in the morning, Liu Ren said that this guy is a muscle maniac, it seems that he sees that his big forward and center are still just over the opponent, and as he gets older, he is about to start to go tonnage again.

Liu Ren doesn't know whether James is sad or enviable, saying that his teammates are not good, he has two superstar partners since 2010, but his partner's interior line was an interior monster before he partnered with him, and after partnering with him, he became a three-point deflated three.

For example, Bosh, who averaged 24+10 per game before going to the Heat, was regarded as the top three inside lines in the league, but when he went to the Heat, he averaged 16+6 per game.

Lefu is even more, averaging 26+14 per game before going to the Cavaliers, and going to the Cavaliers, he also averaged 16 points per game......

Not to mention the reduction in scores, the key is that the rebounds can't be grabbed, and the defense can't prevent the opponent, especially after Lefou's weight was further reduced in the second year to play the flexible big forward, the rebounds were simply miserable, and he used to average a few free throws of 8 points per game, but now he has a few points, which is directly reduced in general, and the interior lethality is basically gone, so James has to start gnawing beef for a living again......

I haven't played a game for a long time, and although I have touched basketball in the past month, I haven't really played a game, and this time I saw James and them, and the tension that the game was about to start finally came.

When the most annoying thing for NBA stars is that there are a large number of people watching during the meal, and there are more and more people, and after breakfast, they quickly leave here.

"It's all to blame on Coach K, how good it would be if we still stayed in a hotel outside this year, and we were watched again." Among these people, Anthony dared to complain about James like this.

"This is Brazil, maybe eight out of ten people on the street outside are drug dealers, and the remaining two are still drug ghosts, the security here in Brazil is not as good as London and Beijing, okay, if it weren't for here, we wouldn't have met the boss, right, boss, the building you live in?" James said helplessly, this Anthony is used to living in a big city in New York, it's trouble, look at Liu Ren, isn't he also living in the Olympic Village, no one complained.

"I live in Building 104, what about you?" Liu Ren replied.

"Coincidentally, we live in Building 102, right next door to you." Harden suddenly snapped into a remark.

Harden doesn't play, he is a living treasure when he is off the court, otherwise he wouldn't get involved with Howard, but he is much more serious than Howard when he is on the court, and he won't giggle, which is why he still wants to be happy this season, and he is happy on the court, and the conflict between the two will be extremely intensified.

Howard is no longer a player who has the strength to deal with the opponent's interior, but he still wants to play alone, thinking that he can do it, and he can't score and giggle, Harden said he can't stand it.

At the start of the offseason, Howard also jumped out of his fourth-year contract, but the Rockets offered none of them.

However, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Howard is not worried about finding a job, and it will definitely be the top salary, this year, Chandler Parsons can get the same contract as Antetokounmpo, let alone Howard.

But Harden is really a living treasure off the court.

"Oops, it hurts, Russell, why are you hitting me in the head." Harden is really still the eldest of the three young, and he was bullied to death by Westbrook.

Liu Ren looked at the affectionate Divine Turtle and Porcelain Deng with strange eyes.

However, what is embarrassing is that the eldest of the three young people is now quietly leaving alone, but no one has spoken to him.

Curry did not participate in the Olympics this year, Klay Thompson is not Durant's teammate, he has left the Warriors, and because the Warriors can't wait to get McCollum, they sent him away before the season is over, and he has a grudge against the Warriors, so naturally he will not give Durant a good look.

In Thompson's view, the Warriors sent him away, and they could clear out the salary space to sign Durant, without the salary space of about 10 million he vacated, the Warriors had no way to get Durant immediately, and they had to find a way to get rid of a big contract from the team, such as Bogut's 10 million contract, maybe Durant would go to the Lakers at that time, the Lakers had not renewed the contract of Liu Ren and others at that time, and Kobe Bryant had reduced his salary by more than 10 million, so he could directly sign Durant.

“…… We are athletes in a sport, we live next to each other, didn't we meet Nash yesterday, the Canadian team lives in Building 105. Westbrook slapped this former little brother on the head, it was too embarrassing, especially after Liu Ren reacted like that, he felt even more embarrassed.

Chatting and chatting has walked downstairs, the two buildings are just back to back, due to the Chinese team's team rules, Liu Ren can not participate in the entertainment activities of the American team, there is a little regret, but it's nothing, the men's basketball team has a chance to make another appointment after the game, and one-third of the American team are Lakers players, non-existent, what a big deal.
