Chapter 210: The National Team
When Li Cheng was asleep in bed, the news that he was going to participate in the Olympics was exposed by Zhao Xinglin.
The morning sun is shining and colorful, and the cloudless sky is spotless. This kind of weather is rare in the magic capital, but Li Cheng encountered such good weather the day after returning home, which shows his luck.
Li Chengzheng accompanied his mother to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and an article titled "God of War Returns to China, Yao Yi Joins Forces, the Strongest Lineup in the History of the Men's Basketball Group" was published in major sports newspapers in China, and the morning news of Celestial Empire 5 also reported the news.
The author of this article is naturally Zhao Xinglin, and after his article was published, it caused an uproar in the Great Celestial Empire.
Everyone was worried that Li Cheng would refuse to participate in the Olympics, because after such a long fermentation of the "Li incident", everyone knows the whole story.
In this era when the Internet is so developed, it is very difficult to bury the truth of something. And when Zhao Xingyu was dealing with this matter, he didn't think about covering up the truth of this incident. So many fans knew the truth of this matter, and those who scolded Li Cheng behind felt a little ashamed.
As the driving force behind the "Dumping Li Incident", Jiang Xinghan, Wang He and the vice chairman of the Basketball Association all fell into bad luck.
The vice chairman of the Basketball Association was originally unclean, and he didn't want to turn over after being grabbed by the pigtails this time.
Jiang Xinghan was originally a bastard who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he relied on his uncle's relationship to thrive in the Celestial Empire, but his plan to go abroad to make money made his original good life go forever.
Wang He may have ended up the best of the three, but he seems to be getting a little out of his way now. Actually, he wasn't quite normal before this incident. To put it bluntly, this person is a bit perverted, he is extremely self-centered, as if everyone else in this world is wrong except for him. As a result, he never got up again after suffering such a blow.
Now these three people have fallen into the abyss, and they haven't ended well.
But under the impetus of these three people, Li Cheng was subjected to very crazy abuse from Chinese fans. Li Cheng didn't do anything wrong in the first place. His suffering is a catastrophe from heaven, how can you make a young man who is only 20 years old bear it?
Many fans are worried that Li Cheng can't accept it psychologically, so there are a lot of fans leaving messages on the topic of Xiao Li Feidao's "Please return to China". They all hope that Li Cheng can return to China to participate in the Olympic Games, because this Olympic Games is indeed the best Olympic Games for the Chinese men's basketball team, and if you miss this Olympic Games, it will be very difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.
But will Li Cheng return to China in the end? This question has been on the minds of the fans until now.
This time, Li Cheng did not respond to the news of joining the national team, and the fans and bad shoes did not force him, but quietly waited for Li Cheng to give the final answer.
Because I don't dare to say it in any way, but admit it or not. Li Cheng always bears some pressure, and these pressures are what Li Cheng must bear as a Chinese. So everyone is not afraid that Li Cheng will drag on forever, since he said that he would give an answer after the NBA Finals, then he would already give a definite answer at that time.
Now, through Zhao Xinglin's pen, Li Cheng gave his own answer.
The news of Li Cheng's return to China instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, and now another question has arisen, where is Li Cheng now?
When Li Cheng returned to China, he was more careful than being a thief. All the way back to the country did not attract anyone's attention at all. Even the reporters who were squatting at the airport were cleverly circumvented by Osborne.
After returning to China, Li Cheng decided to take a day to train his parents first, and then contact Rotten Shoes. The specific situation depends on the arrangement of bad shoes, doesn't it?
According to Li Cheng's words, since he chose to return to China to participate in the Olympic Games, he had to listen to the leader's arrangement, didn't he?
After eating with his parents at home at noon, Osborne called the rotten shoes. The person on the other end of the line was polite. And he also said that he would do his best to make arrangements.
It was 1:23 a.m. when Osborne called the bad shoes, and before 2 p.m., the staff of the bad shoes had already arrived at the door to pick up Li Cheng.
The first to come in was a young man named Feng Liang, who was about 1.8 meters tall. With a pair of white-rimmed glasses, the whole person looks more gentle, but in that quiet, he is handsome.
In this day and age, it is very important to look good or not on the face. In the past, it was always said that first impressions are important, but now whether the face looks good or not can basically be linked to the first impression.
Li Cheng still had a good impression of Feng Liang, and then Feng Liang said: "Mr. Li, the men's basketball team happens to be training in Shanghai, and the reason for choosing this training camp is also part of you!" ”
Li Cheng had a calm face and glanced at Feng Liang, since he decided to join the national team, how could he care about this? Feng Liang's words really had some side effects, but his ability to observe words and emotions was also extremely strong, and he immediately changed the direction of his speech after knowing that Li Cheng didn't like these sycophant words.
After talking, Li Cheng also probably knew some information.
This time, the men's basketball team will train in Shanghai, and then the men's basketball team will first participate in the Stankovic Cup. This year's Si Cup competition was held in Hangzhou, so it is more reasonable to choose the training location in Shanghai.
In the evening, Li Cheng had a meal with some leaders of Shanghai's rotten shoes, and eating is basically unavoidable in China. At this kind of dinner, Li Cheng, who has become one of the iconic figures of Chinese basketball, will naturally not be drunk by everyone. He drank some drinks casually and kept talking to the leaders.
Li Cheng didn't like Bai Hu too much, but today everyone communicates in Mandarin, and his nature is also high, so he also opened the conversation box and chatted with these leaders.
In general, everyone was happier with this meal, and it was a joy for the guests and hosts!
In the evening, Feng Liang drove Li Cheng to the men's basketball team's training base, where Li Cheng met the team's helmsman for the first time - Younas.
The gray-haired Younas stood at the door of the training base, waiting for Li Cheng's arrival.
Regardless of whether Younas was sincere or false, Li Cheng was somewhat moved in his heart. This also shows from the side that Younas is very fond of Li Cheng.
"Welcome to join us!" As soon as Li Cheng got out of the car, Younas came up and gave him a hug.
"It's an honor to be able to play for my country." Li Cheng smiled and replied very officially.
Younas walked into the training base with Li Cheng's shoulders around him, as if he was hugging his son.
"It's almost ten o'clock, do you want to rest first?" Younas asked.
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "It's okay, if you have something to do, coach, just say it now!" ”
Younas nodded and said, "Okay, come to my room, let's discuss the tactical aspects." ”
Younas's understanding of Li Cheng is almost all obtained from some video materials and written materials, so some of the tactics he designed and the use of Li Cheng still need to be carefully discussed with Li Cheng.
Younas took out a few tactical maps, he handed them to Li Cheng, and then said: "From what I understand, you can adapt to the three positions on the outside. ”
"You should have no problem playing point guard, you're very good on the ball, and that solves the problem of the opposition being closed to us."
"Shooting guard, that's what you're good at, I don't need much. As for the small forward, you can also play the playmaking position, but your breakthrough is a little bit worse. ”
After Li Cheng looked at these tactical charts, he also had some understanding in his heart, and he said: "Then coach, which position do you prefer me to play?" ”
"I don't know if you'll be able to adapt, but I mean, your position should be freer. Your vision and the big picture are very good, so I think you make the right choices when the team needs them most. Younas said solemnly.
"This ......" Li Cheng groaned for a while, the tactical maps that Younas gave him were completely a set of tactics, coupled with the old guy's words, there was no room for Li Cheng to choose at all.
Seeing that Li Cheng didn't speak, Younas continued: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, but how much power you have, how much responsibility you have. Yao Ming has always carried the team on his shoulders alone, but now his foot is not 100% healed but has returned, you should share more for him. ”
Li Cheng turned the wristband of his left hand and muttered: "I personally don't care, since I choose to participate, I will naturally go all out." It's just that, after all, basketball is a five-person sport, and as long as my teammates cooperate with me, I will do my best. ”
"Haha! Okay, I'm relieved to have your words. Younas asked again.
Li Cheng nodded and said, "I will definitely do my best, you can rest assured of this." ”
Then Younas discussed with Li Cheng some specific tactics he arranged for Li Cheng, and the Si Cup is about to start in a week, so there is not a lot of time left for the men's basketball team.
And Li Cheng, as a player who has killed all sides in the NBA, is bound to be extremely valued by Younas. Since there is no time to go to the site for inspection, Younas must have a good exchange with Li Cheng.
Here in Younas, Li Cheng also felt that he was being taken seriously enough. At least Younas had his name on the team's training roster until he announced his decision.
For Younas's attention and respect, Li Cheng has one more reason to work hard in the Olympic Games. That's for Younas's respect.
The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman! (To be continued......)
