Chapter 260 [Hai Ye "Goes Home" and Meets the Deceased! ] 】
Before the start of the Olympic men's basketball finals, the players of the Dream 8 team were very excited, as long as they beat Spain again, the Olympic gold medal will be in hand, in the group stage, they once won Spain by 39 points, occupying an absolute psychological advantage.
Hayes was the only one who didn't feel it. In his previous life, even without Stoudamire, Ray Allen, Billups, and his enhanced Super Hayes, the Dream 8 team still won the championship, and now only Jason Kidd has become Billups in the Dream Team starter. And Billups's shooting ability is stronger than Kidd's, even if the passing awareness is slightly inferior, the level of the two is basically the same, and the strength of this American team has been greatly improved.
On August 24, the closing day of the Yanjing Olympic Games, the men's basketball team also ushered in the final at the Wukesong Basketball Stadium.
The final was not like the twists and turns of Hayes's previous life, and the game was very anxious, but it was one-sided without suspense. Spain only Pau Gasol and Rudy Fernandez have caused a little trouble for the United States. But the American offensive blossomed at many points and was unstoppable. The gold medal has been determined in three quarters. The Dream 8 team does not run the bag, is good at positional attack, and also ambushes pitchers on the outside, and the Spanish defense is easily overwhelmed.
The final score was 124-91, and the American Dream 8 team defeated Spain by 33 points. Successfully completed the redemption mission and regained the gold medal in the World Series after an eight-year absence.
The Dream 8 team not only won the championship, but also monopolized the major awards.
Hayes was named the best player of the tournament. In the final game, Hayes contributed 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, which was the biggest guarantee for the United States team to win the Olympic gold medal.
Hayes averaged 19.2 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game, and 5.2 assists per game. He has more assists than three point guards. 2.2 steals, second only to Wade's 2.4 on the team. The shooting percentage was the highest of any player at 82.8 percent.
With such monster statistics, Hayes was unanimously voted the best player.
The Defensive Player of the Year was also won by Hayes, who set a record for two major awards for one person. If Bryant is a good defender for Dream Eight, then Hayes is the finisher for opponents' offense. Hayes is responsible for defending people on the inside, and when the opponent's main scorer relies on his teammates to cover, Hayes is usually the one who follows out, directly opposite the opponent's top scorer. As a result, Hayes averaged 2.2 steals per game. And Hayes does a better job of protecting backcourt rebounds than Howard, and is invaluable as a 198cm interior lineman.
The Sixth Man of the Year went to Devin Wade, as did the USA, and they were unchallenged from start to finish, outscoring their opponents by 40.8 points per game.
After the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, delegations from various countries returned home one after another. Two of America's most popular athletes are Phelps, who won eight gold medals, and Hayes, who is unstoppable at the Olympics.
But Hayes refused to return to China with his Dream 8 teammates, saying he wanted to stay in China for a few days. As an Olympic hero, Hayes' return will surely be the focus of attention. But his teammates and coaches respected his choice. The Olympics are over, and it is the players' freedom to arrange the rest of the holidays.
That night, Hayes packed his simple luggage and took the nearest flight to Jinan Yaoqiang Airport to the Capital International, which took less than 1 hour.
Winning the Olympic gold medal and individual awards, Hayes didn't care much, but now that he has to go home, he is a little nervous. It's been two years, and he may have come back a long time ago, but he stayed in the United States to win championships and improve his basketball game. Now he has a championship ring, a regular season MVP, and an Olympic gold medal. Isn't it a bit selfish to think of returning home after basically getting the honors on the field?
Jinan didn't know what was going on, and Hayes never contacted China on QQ again. If he does, how will he contact his friends and family?
When he arrived in Jinan, Hayes took a ride from the airport and went straight to the city. I stayed at a small inn near Izumi City Square, "Jinjiang Inn ". Although Hayes has the money to stay in the best hotel in the city, he wants to keep a low profile, and if he shows his passport ID at the big hotel, people will recognize it as Hayes of the NBA. Sensational news for sure. Why didn't Hases return to China after the Olympics and came to this small place in Jinan?
The staff at the inn didn't recognize Hayes. Hayes deliberately pretended that Chinese was very blunt and asked for a standard room.
Hayes didn't plan to recognize his parents in his previous life, that was simply unrealistic. His son turned into a black American and came back, and no one could accept it. And what Xuan Feng is doing now, Hayes is not sure. Just go to find yourself in your previous life? That's weird. At this time, Hayes thought of three people, one was his two buddies Lu Yongyu and Wang Bing, who had played since he was a child, and the other was his girlfriend Li Yaxiao.
But without revealing your identity, it seems difficult to reach out to friends from the past. If it is said, this is another leak, Hayes is really worried that a thunder will fall from the sky and kill him.
Although he was in a nervous mood, Hayes was already very tired after playing today. After taking a shower, I quickly fell asleep. In the dream, he dreamed that he had changed back into Xuan Feng and that everything in America was fake. He was still the poor boy who couldn't find a job after graduation. Then he woke up and found sweat on his forehead. I was relieved to find out that I was still black. He's used to life now. There is fame, there is endless money. If he is allowed to become a poor man who has to look at people's faces in everything he does, and cannot speak casually, he will definitely go crazy.
It was 6:40 a.m., and Hayes finished washing up with a toothpaste toothbrush and left the hotel. Hayes changed into casual clothes and took a ride to the old school of Hongjialoushan University.
This is his alma mater, and in his previous life, his summer vacation is coming to an end and he is about to enter his senior year. He should have returned to school early by this time. said to the family that it was to exercise basketball, but in fact, practicing was only one aspect, and the other was to date Li Yaxiao. In the second semester of their junior year, they had just started dating, and now was the hottest time.
Hayes reminisced about the past, smiling from time to time. The middle-aged male driver who drove the car was a fan. I couldn't help but glance at Hayes several times, and thought, "This black man really looks like Hayes." Does it mean that all black people look the same? ”
Not all black people are one person, and the person in front of him is Hayes. But most of the people are willing to be ordinary, and they don't think that they will meet superstars one day. Even if a person with a bright face like Beckham comes to China to take a ride, the driver will only think that it looks like it, and will not think that it is Beckham.
When he arrived at Hong's house, Hayes paid the fare. From the time he was trading in stocks, he had already thought of giving a sum of money to his parents in his previous life, so he did not transfer all the money in the stock market back to the United States, but left 20 million. When he arrived in China, he brought some of it out.
Hongjialou is a prosperous business district in Jinan, with RT-Mart supermarket, Ginza Mall, Gome Electric, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc., with a wave of people and a tide of vehicles, and a very strong business atmosphere.
The century-old "Old School of Shanda" and the "Hongjialou Catholic Church" built at the beginning of the last century quietly hide in a corner of this bustling city, exuding their own unique cultural atmosphere without publicity.
When Hayes entered the school, no one asked about anything, and because of his tall stature, many people noticed him, but only thought he was an ordinary international student or foreign teacher. Hayes walked comfortably along the path to the east, past the Shaw Law Building, a classical white-stone bridge. The river under the bridge has long since dried up, otherwise it would have been a scene on campus.
Walking across the small bridge, there is a large poplar forest, during the holiday, the school seems to be much empty, and the path of the poplar forest occasionally has teachers or family children walking in twos and threes. Hayes walked through the woods in the direction of the pitch. Nothing has changed. He went to school here as if it was all yesterday.
As he walked onto the basketball court, Hayes' mood grew more and more nervous. There were already some people playing basketball in the morning. He had a hunch that when he went there, he would meet familiar people. He and his friends are used to playing at this time, will he see himself? How would it feel to see yourself? This is a strange question.
Hayes first saw the familiar girl in the stands of the stadium - Li Yaxiao! She was dressed in a green casual T-shirt and coffee-colored slacks, and the feeling of Hayes's previous life suddenly returned, and her heart began to beat faster again. Men can never forget their first love, and he always felt that Li Yaxiao was a bit like Audrey Hepburn in the Roman fake story, lively and playful. Now her extremely delicate face has a youthful and melancholy temperament.
Next to Li Yaxiao are Zhang He and Xue Miao, who are in the same dormitory as her, both girls who like basketball, and their boyfriends are also basketball teams.
Hayes saw his friends Di Wen, Tao Ran, Tao Zewei, Yang Yang, Zhu Chengmin, Yang Xinan, Meng Feiyang and others on the court again...... Strangely, all the names that could be called were there, and Hayes was the only one who didn't find himself. Did you have diarrhea and go to the toilet? Sick? Only idiots catch a cold in the summer. Xuan Feng is in very good health, and he will not get sick once in a few years.
Hayes stood on the sidelines and watched for half an hour, until everyone finished playing and was ready to leave, and he didn't see himself after all.
A few friends also spotted Hayes, but just like the driver, he just thought he was an ordinary black man, and didn't think it was a real Hayes.
Hayes looked at it for a while and decided to leave. He didn't plan to talk to his old friends, and it would be interesting if he showed any flaws or were recognized.
If ordinary people see an American NBA superstar running in front of him, talking and behaving very much like a buddy in the past, especially if he has read countless online novels and has a rich imagination Chinese encounters this kind of thing, he must have many questions to ask...... "Are you Xuan Feng wearing to the United States?" ”
"Is there really a crossing in this world?"
"Could this be a precursor to an alien invasion of Earth?"
"Didn't you kid succeed in winning the house after cultivating the truth, right?"
…… Hayes didn't want to complicate things, so he quietly left the basketball court.
At this point, Hayes's phone call came to mind. Jordan called an international call.
"Chuck, why didn't you go back home? We have an important deal to discuss with you. ”
"What deal?" Hayes asked.
"When you were playing in the Olympics, the Detroit people came to you!"
Detroit? Pistons?!
