Chapter 42: Answering the Call
"You mean that the Chinese men's basketball team called me to the Asian Championships? Or did the Chinese men's basketball coach Jiang Xingquan personally call and the Chinese Basketball Association sent an invitation? Cao Jian repeated again on the phone.
"Hmm. Yes. But ......" Bertha on the other end of the phone hadn't finished speaking, and Cao Jian had already jumped up excitedly. The Chinese men's basketball team called me to play for the national team, and the national team called me to play, and I can represent China.
Cao Jian jumped up from the ground excitedly, fortunately at the high point of the roof, otherwise he would go directly through the roof, he directly threw the Nokia mobile phone on the sofa next to him, rushed into the room from the hall, and said excitedly: "Yanping." Yanping. The national team wants me. The national team wanted me, and they let me play. ”
However, when he opened the door, the room was empty, and the person he longed for most in his heart did not appear, and he was inevitably disappointed in his heart, thinking of his beloved wife Chen Yanping, Cao Jian's thoughts about him hit like a tide.
Cao Jian's heart seemed to be tightly twisted by the hemp rope, and he controlled himself not to think about it in his mind, but the more this happened, the tighter the hemp rope was twisted, and the more Cao Jian's heart hurt.
Cao Jian, who was in pain, had difficulty breathing.
Since Cao Jian and Chen Yanping met, this is the first time that Cao Jian has been away from Chen Yanping for so long, the first time. Although the love between him and Chen Yanping was as plain as water before, Cao Jian didn't know anything romantic, and life was like that, but it was really difficult for Cao Jian to adapt without her.
This feeling is especially strong when you are alone.
Cao Jian couldn't stand it, he also made a decision to take advantage of this national team call, he was going to find Chen Yanping, although, according to the trajectory of the previous world, Chen Yanping and him met in 09, but, Cao Jian can't manage so much, I am the crosser, I am the biggest.
Cao Jian couldn't bear the pain of missing like this.
Thinking of this, Cao Jian's cloudy eyes also flashed with light.
Suddenly, thinking that there seemed to be something else, Cao Jian walked out of the door, and heard the sound of the mobile phone, Bertha's phone had not been hung up just now, and Bertha's phone was still ringing on the other end of the phone, "Are you there?" Is it there? Is it there? At this time, Cao Jian also happened to see the Nokia mobile phone on the sofa, and hurriedly went over to pick up the mobile phone to answer, and said, "I'm sorry." I couldn't control myself just now. ”
"It's okay." Bertha's tone on the other end of the phone was still very steady, and she didn't go wild, but she didn't know what Bertha's specific reaction was.
Bertha is such a big beauty, usually, she is the only one who ignores others, and it is the turn of others to ignore her. Cao Jian was the first.
Hearing Bertha say this, Cao Jian didn't pay attention to it, and directly changed the topic, "I responded to the call, I want to go back to play in the Asian Championships." ”
Hearing this, Bertha's first reaction on the other end of the phone was to refuse: "I don't think you have to accept the call of the country." First, summer league is a prime time for players to improve. Second, there is a risk of injury when playing in the national team. Third, although the Cavaliers don't say in the contract that you can't play in the national team, they want you to train actively and strive for next season......"
"I know all of what you're saying, and I know it's what it is. Still, I decided to participate. Cao Jian directly interrupted Bertha's words and said.
"What is the reason? Can you tell me? Bertha asked. She wondered why Cao Jian would decide to do this.
"Because I'm Chinese. The country needs me, and it is my duty to do so. Cao Jiandao.
Hearing this, Bertha on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally, said, "Okay." I'll take care of it for you, knight. ”
"Thank you."
"No, it's my job."
……
Almost, after the two said goodbye, they also hung up the phone.
Hanging up the phone, Cao Jian's thoughts also came to the men's Asian Basketball Championship in late September, according to the memory of his previous life, the Asian Championships finally ended with the victory of the Chinese team.
Cao Jian originally chose not to participate, but Cao Jian still chose to participate.
First of all, it is Cao Jian's dream to participate in the Asian Championships, which is true. Another point, he learned the lesson of Wang Zhizhi in his previous life.
It's one thing for China to dominate Asia in 2003, but it's another thing for you to go personally? There is no necessary connection.
Wang Zhizhi's incident happened recently, coupled with the memory of his previous life, Cao Jian naturally knows Wang Zhizhi's matter very well.
At the beginning, Wang Zhizhi was in the NBA, because he was not very good, so he wanted to seize the spare time in the summer to exercise more, and at that time, he happened to meet the national team competition, and the national team asked Wang Zhizhi to return to China to play, but Wang Zhizhi thought that since the national team already had Yao Ming and others, it was not difficult to dominate Asia, so he did not choose to come back. Later, he was infamous as a traitor, and Wang Zhizhi was also expelled from the national team. The culprit is that Xin Lancheng, bureaucratic style. Later, after Xin Lancheng stepped down, the new director personally found Wang Zhizhi and said that he would help him get through all the relationships and not blame the past, which allowed him to return to the national team.
Even if the stadium is very awesome and greasy on the field, but the players are absolutely unable to stand on the opposite side of the country, Cao Jian realized this, and he was eager to play for the country, so he received the call of the national team this time and agreed as soon as possible.
The third point is that Cao Jian still can't forget the shame of the Chinese men's basketball team in Busan in 2002, and he can't forget Hu Weidong's time because of the boos on the scene, missed two free throws, missed the kill, and even if he fought hard in overtime, he still couldn't defeat the South Korean team, which made Cao Jian unforgettable.
Once upon a time, he also thought that he was going to play to fight for China, but unfortunately he was still young at that time and had no chance, but now the opportunity has come.
Cao Jian will not miss it no matter what.
This time it's going to be a win, and moreover, it's going to be a big win.
The fourth point is that the system is getting weird.
Signing a knight, Cao Jian completed the main quest. I thought that I would get some unexpected rewards, but the system directly said that this was just one of the stages, and I was ready to start the second phase of the mission.
The stage task issued by the system is: to call on the Chinese men's basketball team to help the Chinese men's basketball team enter the Athens Olympics with a complete victory.
Reward: 7,000,000 XP.
7,000,000 experience points is a bit small, but this is a must for Cao Jian.
After the national team competition, it was also a matter of eleven, and in October, the team training camp also began.
This is a great opportunity for him to improve his strength, and he should not miss it. This may also be the last time Cao Jian improved before the NBA game officially began, and next season, he will do it in earnest.
Cao Jian originally wanted to accept more tasks, but the system explained: task limitations.
Task Limits???
Cao Jian didn't know, but the system explained: To put it simply, the system task is not something you can accept if you want to accept it, and there is a certain amount of it every year, and you accepted the task too quickly in front of you, and the limit was reached. So, you can't take the task right now.
Depend on. That's fine. Cao Jian couldn't help but scold in his heart, of course, he didn't dare to shout out, he just said it in his heart.
