Chapter 153: The Nike Summit Returns
If Feng Liya hadn't called Yang Fan, Yang Fan wouldn't have known that Nike China had sent the invitation letter to his mailbox as early as 2 days ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yang Fan does not understand the style of foreigners, who always think that email is a very convenient way to communicate, and the priority is even higher than that of texting and calling.
With the help of Xu Yujie, Yang Fan read the email very carefully, and then replied politely, which roughly meant that he would go to the competition on time.
After turning off the mailbox, Xu Yujie proposed to look at the sports news, and maybe it could be reported.
Yang Fan opened Sina Sports suspiciously, and sure enough, there was an article in an inconspicuous position mentioning next year's Nike summit. The title of the article is "Unprecedented, Nike Basketball Summit Will Have Two Chinese Players!" The author's signature is Nian Rui.
After reading the article, Yang Fan knew that in addition to him, another person who participated in the Nike Basketball Summit this time was Chen Jianghua, and several insiders who had been favored before failed to get into Nike's eyes.
Yang Fan remembered Yang Yi's words before, if this is calculated, the international team should have four point guards, which is indeed a lot. But it wasn't something he had to worry about, though, because he hadn't figured out how to split the playing time of the four point guards when the phone rang again.
This number is another familiar number, which was called by the general manager of the first team of Wen. After Yang Fan hung up the phone, he didn't have time to explain to Xu Yujie, and directly opened Baidu. Then the words "Basketball Association" and "New Rules" were entered.
The Basketball Association issued a new regulation the day before yesterday, and the full name of this document is "Several Suggestions on Outstanding College Players Participating in Professional Leagues"
There are too many official words in the document, Yang Fan swept it roughly, and felt that there were about two points, encouraging outstanding college graduates to participate in the professional league, if they are current students, they can also enter the professional team in advance under the conditions allowed by the school, and there will be no obstacles in registration.
The Sport Weekly also published a commentary on the new proposal, which it dubbed: "Yang Fan's exception". Beginning with "Yang Fan's Special Case", a series of in-depth reports related to Yang Fan written by Wang Nianrui before were also serialized in the newspaper from this week. This series of reports quickly sparked heated discussions, and CCTV5 Sports World also made a special report for this purpose, about those who have dreams and have to obey reality in the end. It is said that the number of viewers who participated in this episode of the program was about 50% higher than usual. However, these are all things that Yang Fan doesn't know, and this is what Zhou Xiaochuan heard from some seniors after joining the work.
Yang Fan's heart knot was opened all of a sudden, and he had never felt so happy. This suggestion also means that even if he stays in China, he can still participate in training and competitions in the Wenyi team and maintain a high level of competition.
Yang Fan left at the end of March 2017, and after he left, apart from occasionally making a transatlantic phone call and knowing a little about his life in Memphis, all that was left was blessings and worries.
In the early morning of April 8, when Xu Yujie was still in her dream, her mobile phone rang suddenly. The melodious singing voice was a little harsh in the silent night, but Xu Yujie couldn't care so much at all, quickly connected the phone, and then covered her entire face with a quilt.
"Hello?" Although Xu Yujie's voice was small, she was very excited.
Yang Fan on the other side of the phone was even more excited: "Girl! We won, we won! ”
In addition to Yang Fan's voice on the other end of the phone, there were other chaotic voices, and I don't know if it was because it was half a world crossed, and the signal was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
But Xu Yujie could understand from Yang Fan's words that the international team not only won this game, but Yang Fan should have performed very well.
Although there was no live broadcast of the entire game, the report about the game came out the next day. The title of an article on Sina Sports was "One Man Sets a Record, One Man Does Nothing." Nike Summit, the joy and sorrow of Chinese players! Xu Yujie hurriedly clicked on the article, and as she expected, in this game, the international team defeated the international team 105-100, and Yang Fan played 29 minutes in the whole game, getting 16 points, 11 assists and 3 steals.
In the first half of the second quarter, the U.S. team played a wave of 16-0 climax, and the score once led by 27 points, in this case, Yang Fan was sent on the court by head coach Byvorich, under his leadership, the international team played an outside shooting advantage, and finally relied on a powerful three-point shot to shoot the U.S. team alive.
Judging from the data, the gap between Yang Fan and the American genius high school student Mayo is not big, and Mayo only scored a total of 20 points. But in the second half of the game, Yang Fan almost relied on his experience to lock Mayo's passing route, forcing Mayo to do it brutally.
After the end of this game, there was a sudden wave of "Yang Fan" in China, and many media began to equate Yang Fan's name with Yao Ming, all looking forward to Yang Fan wearing the national team's jersey and feeding Yao Ming at the 08 Beijing Olympic Games.
When Yang Fan returned to China, it was already the early morning of April 11, and Xu Yujie deliberately skipped class for a day and ran to Beijing Airport to pick up the plane.
When she saw Yang Fan's tired face appear in her field of vision, she hurriedly ran over and gave him a hug desperately. They did not return to Hefei that night, but found a hotel in Beijing and stayed there. Yang Fan received an invitation from the Basketball Association before he came back, hoping that he could take some time to meet after returning to China.
Yang Fan probably guessed what was going on, and he decided to settle things before fattening.
"Tell me about what fun you encountered this time!" Xu Yujie and Yang Fan were lying on the bed, the sky was already a little dark outside, although Xu Yujie knew that Yang Fan was very tired, but she was reluctant to let him sleep.
"Don't tell me, I really have something." Yang Fan changed his posture and turned his face to Xu Yujie's side face, "Do you remember the time when Yohei Mizuno brought a team of high school students to play the game?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?" Xu Yujie also turned her face.
"There's someone in their team, I met this time, and he's on our team. We were in the same position last time. Yang Fan said.
"No, it's so powerful! I thought it was only Americans with high school students participating in this kind of competition! ”
"I thought so at first, but then I found out that this person is the main point guard of the Japanese national youth team, and he will probably be promoted to the first team in this Asian Championships. I thought about it later, there were indeed a few people in the Japanese team in that game who were not bad, if it was really a high school student, it would be terrifying, not to mention anything else, it was 17 years old, and it could compete with the American team. Now think about ......"
"Are they cheating?" Xu Yujie added.
"So, Mizuno Yohei said that it will take many years to catch up with us, I'm afraid it's impossible! Go to bed! Yang Fan kissed Xu Yujie on the forehead, and then turned over, Xu Yujie still wanted to say something, but the voice over there had already sounded.
