At 2:00 a.m. on August 31, 2004, the flame of the 28th Olympic Games, which had been burning for 17 days, was gradually extinguished at the main Olympic stadium in Athens. Under the attention of 50,000 tourists from all over the world and athletes from all over the world, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games came to an end, representing the end of a grand event.

Hua Ben sat in the stands with great interest and watched the event with Cheryl. For athletes, the closing ceremony is not obligatory, many dewy mandarin ducks are hurrying to enjoy the last supper, Odom and Marbury and others ran away after winning the gold medal, Ma Dashao even said that he would give the gold medal to a confidante who is in love with him - Hua Ben is very puzzled, this kind of person also has a confidant?

The last eight minutes of the closing ceremony belong to the next Olympic Games, and the next Olympic Games is the Yanjing Olympic Games and Huaben's purpose. After all, the Yenching Olympics is a grand event for the sons and daughters of China. As the melody of Peking Opera and folk song "Jasmine" with Chinese characteristics sounded at the scene, Hua Ben's face showed a confused smile.

This singing voice is really familiar.

A group of beautiful girls in costumes are either holding a pipa, an erhu, or a small drum, performing "Jasmine" at a fast pace. Liu Xiang, who was in the limelight at the Athens Olympics, walked on the stage with the national flag and planted next to the Olympic flame, and from this moment on, the Olympic flame will leave Athens and embark on the road to Yanjing.

At the same time, at this time, there were many people standing on the viewing platform, all of whom were coaches and athletes of the Chinese delegation, these people were wearing T-shirts printed with the words "2008 Gathering in Yanjing", each of them had a small five-star red flag in their hands, waving enthusiastically, and the audience politely gave applause.

In just a few tens of seconds, actors dressed in Chinese national costumes on stilts and holding lanterns appeared in the venue, in addition to traditional Chinese folk music, Tai Chi and Peking Opera, which fully demonstrated the history and modernity, tradition and vitality of Yanjing.

As the performance progressed, the athletes and coaches of the Chinese delegation watching in the venue shouted rhythmically together: Yanjing! Yanjing! Tourists from China also chanted 'Yanjing', tears rolling in their eyes, it is really not easy for the Chinese nation to come to this point.

The most beautiful part of the promotional video is that at the end, a beautiful little Chinese girl holding a lantern stands on a giant lantern and sings the last stanza "Jasmine" and says in a childish voice: "Wee-to-Beijing." Seeing this scene, Cheryl was greatly moved, took Hua Ben's hand and said: "That girl is so cute, I like her very much, let's travel to Yanjing together in four years." ”

"No problem, I can also be your tour guide at that time, Cheryl, I am very familiar with that country and that city, and I studied "Chinese Language, Culture and Studies" in college." Hua Ben said softly, and hugged the girl by his hand, everything was logical.

After the closing ceremony, early the next morning, Hua Ben dragged the suitcase to help Cheryl complete the check-in and prepare to board the plane. As a result, as soon as they arrived at the waiting hall, when they saw him appear, the group of people from the Dream Six Team were stunned.

"What's wrong? What are your expressions? Hua Ben asked lightly, it was really a beautiful thing to return to China as a meritorious hero.

Wade resignedly, "It's nothing, Ben, didn't anyone inform you of what?" ”

Wamoto was surprised and asked, "What are you participating?" Is it a celebration feast? Why, there is such a good thing? "In his previous life, he had read a report that there was no celebration banquet in the United States, and after the game left Athens, the athletes went back to their homes and found their mothers.

The players shook their heads together, and finally Odom pushed Iverson out, squeezing his eyes and saying, "Aaron, you say, you say." ”

"Why do I say?" Iverson exclaimed, "I didn't do it alone!" ”

Marbury said, "You have the best relationship with Ben, he won't beat you, and if we do, he may kill us!" ”

"What the hell is going on? Say it! I promise not to hit you. Hua Ben had a bad feeling churning in his heart, this gang of hurtful people together, there is absolutely no good thing.

Iverson looked at his teammates behind him, and everyone looked at him encouragingly, even Duncan nodded at him. Iverson coughed and asked, "You promise not to hit us?" ”

Hua Ben showed a very fake smile on his face, waved his hand and said lightly: "Of course, what is our relationship?" ”

Iverson sighed with relief and said, "Ben, do you know about that incident on August 20th? It was in the center of Athens that there was a brawl that was involved in a national men's volleyball team named Clayton. Stanley's idiot triggered, you know? ”

"I don't know, but what does it have to do with me? I was training during the day and playing at night. Hua Ben said inexplicably, and soon, his face changed, and he asked, "Are you fucking anyone involved?" And then tell the police that I did it? Damn, take me for a black pot? ”

Iverson hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Impossible, we are all brothers, how can we do such a thing?" Besides, we don't bother to participate in such a fight, Stanko's idiot beat a pregnant woman and resisted arrest, what a damn guy! ”

Hua Ben nodded and said: "I guess you don't dare to do this kind of thing, if anyone dares to let Lao Tzu be a black pot man, Lao Tzu will fucking kill him!" ”

"Huh." The group laughed dryly, and Marbury said, "It's, it's, how can we do such a thing?" Isn't it, Ben? ”

"By the way, what the hell are you doing with me?" Huaben asked.

Seeing that his expression had not changed, Iverson relaxed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to the regulations, all team events must have an athlete to be represented at the hearing, and we have to have someone on the basketball side to sign up." ”

Hua Ben smiled when he heard this, and said, "Who is that unlucky child?" ”

Everyone looked down at their toes, and Huaben's laughter grew weaker and weaker, and his face became more and more ugly, and finally he asked, "You don't fucking say this person is me, do you?" Wait, Aaron, you have to sign up? But I obviously didn't sign up. ”

Iverson was a little embarrassed and said, "You weren't there at the time, and the 11 of us discussed it and signed you up to represent us at the hearing." ”

Nima, Lao Tzu is represented? Hua Ben was immediately furious. Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's definitely not a good thing! This kind of case involving athletes from other countries is very difficult to handle, it is impossible to hold a hearing, and a lot of media will appear, and there is no doubt that according to the regulations, the people involved cannot be interviewed during the trial, and the work of the interview is done by celebrities like them.

For example, after the sprint race some time ago, Athens held a hearing about the Greek sprinter Kentrice because the guy evaded a drug test and his coach Texeks was suspected of trading illegal drugs. For the sake of this, the hearings are still not over, and the representatives of the Greek athletes have to travel between the courtroom and the training ground after the competition. And Kentris is still Greek, and the procedures are relatively simple.

"Ben, let's get on board." Cheryl walked over with a smile on her ticket, "I just called, and Sister Eva said that we can go to Hawaii or Alaska for a vacation when we go back, and, she said, she has a surprise for you." Ben, what's wrong with you? The expression is so strange."

Wabben clenched his fists fiercely, the holidays were so gone, it was already September, and the preseason was basically starting at the end of September. Cheryl's words were like pouring salt into his wounds, Eva's surprise, Hua Ben had already thought of uniform temptation, stockings style, erotic lingerie, etc.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, there was no more, nothing left, and he was left to stay in the Athenian courtroom all day listening to the chatter of the judges and lawyers. Moreover, he can't go to a bar if he wants to, and hundreds of reporters will be staring at him. Thinking of this, Huaben's small universe exploded, he grabbed Iverson, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I won't beat you out of today, I can only count you too clean today!" ”

Iverson looked at the big fist dangling in front of him and scolded, "Ben, don't be untrustworthy, you said you wouldn't hit anyone!" Men should keep their word! ”

"As long as I can beat you out, I'd rather not be a man!" Waben said viciously, and Cheryl shrugged, it seemed that she had to go back to the United States alone.

In the following days, just like the speculation, Hua Ben frequently shuttled through the courtroom, listening to a group of lawyers foaming at the mouth, quoting scriptures and saying everything, and Hua Ben was drowsy when he listened.

For Stanley, this kid, Hua Ben is 10,000 to look down on, beating pregnant women? What a shame on my American counterparts. In the face of the reporter's interview, Hua Ben meant the same thing: those who break the law must be punished, this is a must, anyway, he doesn't know Stanley, for this person who ruined his vacation, it is strange that he can give a good word.

It took half a month for the case to be closed, and Stanley pleaded guilty, but his lawyer believed that he had mental illness and mental problems, so the court handed a lighter sentence. He was fined only $15,000, in addition to 120 hours of community service, and the sentence was executed in the United States.

As soon as the court announced the result, Hua Ben took a taxi and went straight to the airport, very unlucky, he ran into a fan driver, this driver kept talking to him about basketball all the way, and asked for more than 50 autographs, Hua Ben really broke down, is this driver planning to sell his signature photo?

Huaben bought a direct flight from Athens to Washington, which Charlotte was located south of Washington, a short distance from the two cities, and Eva could drive to pick him up.

On the plane, Huaben opened his laptop and began to study the email Jordan sent him, the Bobcats' roster list.

Compared to previous lives, the current Bobcats lineup has changed so much that it is surprising.

In the center position, there are Huaben, Jahidi. White; The position of the big forward is Wang Zhizhi, Oku, Blazech, Sloan. Smith, Zaza. Pachuria; The small forward position has Steven Gerrard. Wallace, Jason. Capo, Blanton. Hunter; In the position of defender there is Andre. Iguodala, Padtin, Tony. Aaron, Kevin. Martin, Eddie. House, Steve. Smith, Braven. Knight.

The entire roster has a total of 17 people, and 2 people need to be cut before the regular season, but the Bobcats are still scanning the free market, looking for big fish that have slipped through the net, so this list will probably have to cut 3-4 people in the end, and Jordan is asking for his opinion.
