Chapter Seventy-Four: All Kinds of Suffering, Only Blood!
"Huaxia welcomes you and opens up the world for you...."
When the familiar music echoed in his ears, the memories of his youth came to his heart, and Lin Mu once again felt the different feelings brought by the Chinese Olympics.
When you're just a spectator, you're amazed by his vigour, his influence.
When you are a Chinese person, you will be proud of the continuous prosperity of the motherland, and you will be proud of being a part of it!
Whereas!
When you are a spectator, a Chinese, and an athlete who participates!
That kind of mood cannot be described, and that kind of scene cannot be described in simple words.
Crowded with people, the fiery scene blew across his cheeks like a howling wind, Lin Mu was wearing makeup representing Chinese sportswear, which was not just a cloak and covered clothes, but also a kind of glory, engraved on the body!
The celebration of the whole China, just like the tears on the scene when the Olympic bid was made, the current Chinese people, with the most special cheers ushered in the moment of the motherland's take-off!
When the flag was raised, when the singing resounded loudly on both sides of the Yellow River, and when the familiar melody echoed in his ears again, Lin Mu had mixed feelings, he realized the enthusiasm for serving the country, and also realized what Wang Zhizhi said after returning to the national team.
"All people who love the motherland will have the same feeling when they see the five-star red flag rising, that is, the pride and pride of being a Chinese."
"I have participated in two flag-raising activities, the first time was when I was in junior high school, although more than ten years have passed, this feeling has not changed, and it will only continue to deepen."
When the Chinese delegation appeared, when Yao Ming stood at the front of the team with the five-star red flag, and when the Chinese athletes appeared in front of the people all over the world in the fullest state, Lin Mu believed that many people in front of the TV had already burst into tears.
This is a national resonance and an empathy!
I have no regrets in this life in China, and I will be a flower planter in the next life!
The audience became pitch black, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and poured their eyes on the gymnastics prince who was holding the Olympic flame in his hand and slowly flying up in the air.
The flame is lit, the fireworks are cheered, China is shaken, and the people are boiling!
As far as Lin Mu is concerned, this is the most profound Olympic opening ceremony in his memory, and there is no one!
Thinking of the scene of the opening ceremony of the underworld next door, Lin Mu wanted to say two words: garbage!
At the end of the unveiling ceremony, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the hotel where the Olympic Village was located.
At 22:15 on August 10, the Chinese men's basketball team will play against the world's No. 1 team in the Wukesong Gymnasium.
There was not much time left, and the players on the bus also had solemn expressions, no one made a sound, and the atmosphere was a little solemn, which was overwhelming.
Pre-match stress is usually not a good thing, it can make people feel uncomfortable, and in severe cases, physical reactions may occur.
But there are two sides to the development of things, and at the same time, under pressure also brings more motivation, pushing everyone forward and making everyone better!
From the moment Lin Mu stepped into the men's basketball training camp, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games from April 16th to August 8th, after 114 days, the Chinese men's basketball team gave everything, they tried their best to make themselves better!
Even the arrogant Sun Dasheng became extremely honest after being educated by Lin Mu.
At the 2006 Japan Men's Basketball World Championships, Sun Yue, who had covered Carmelo Anthony, vowed that he must have a few more hats this time to let Chinese fans see his progress!
Late at night, when everyone fell asleep, Lin Mu appeared in the Olympic Village alone with a basketball.
Practicing the shooting that he was not used to, Lin Mu wanted to race against the clock and could not waste any opportunity that could improve himself.
Since winning the NCAA championship, Lin Mu has improved more or less, and his attribute panel has also changed accordingly when he was selected for the NBA.

Compared with a hundred days ago, Lin Mu's shooting level has improved again, although the improvement is not large, but it is enough for Lin Mu to surprise.
It's useful to practice by yourself, unlike Ben Simmons, who can't practice no matter how you practice!
The rest of the indicators were slightly improved, and after reaching 85, the increase of each attribute point required great efforts, which was also the reason why Lin Mu did not dare to relax in the slightest.
In addition, the system has added a new column of [advanced] attributes, Lin Mu's back skills are neither high nor low, just enough, and compared with James at this stage, it may be better.
The footsteps are the same as the back, not very brilliant, but they are used impartially enough.
As for feints...
Lin Mu swore that he didn't expect his performance to be so outstanding, and in the heads-up with the national player and Wei Shao, Lin Mu would indeed make a lot of unbelievable moves to lure the attention of the defenders, and the effect was very good, and it once made Wei Shao fall into autism.
But the attribute evaluation of 92 has reached the standard of all-star level, which Lin Mu did not expect.
"Unexpectedly, I am getting stronger and stronger!"
The advantage of stuffy head training is that whenever Lin Mu looks at his attribute panel, he will be full of energy.
"Basketball genius, it's me who is talking about it!"
You must know that many basketball players do not grow after hard training, and only players who keep improving can stand firm and realize their dreams.
Among them, the word talent is very important!
"Can't sleep?" Just as Lin Mu was entertaining himself, Yao Ming's voice came from his ears.
"What about you? Can't sleep? Lin Mu asked rhetorically.
"It's too stressful, sometimes it's really out of breath, and it's okay to come out and relax." Da Yao didn't hide it, and directly said his inner thoughts.
"Your ankles, are you okay?"
For some reason, Lin Mu unconsciously shifted his gaze to Yao Ming's injury.
"How good it can be, fight with injuries!"
"All along, I wasn't like that." Yao Ming said indifferently, revealing his firmness between the lines.
"yes, your games are really too frequent!"
From his debut in 1999 to his debut at the 2008 Olympics due to injury, Yao Ming had to represent the national team in competitions every summer, in addition to the huge pressure of the professional league.
In his national team career, Yao Ming has participated in 3 Olympic Games, 2 World Championships, 4 Asian Championships, and 1 Asian Games.
Before the 2004 Olympic Games, Yao Ming's big toe of his right foot was accidentally stepped on by a teammate, and a few days later, half of the big toe nail was cut off.
Yao underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his left ankle in the United States in 2005 and missed the first Stankovic Cup at BJ in July, but he returned to represent his country at the Asian Championships, where he was beaten to the chin and stitched.
In 2006, Yao Ming fractured his left little toe in the NBA and underwent surgery in mid-April, and after four months of recovery, Yao Ming quickly returned to represent the national team in the World Championships.
And now, in 2008, Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture of his left ankle, but he is still concerned about representing the national team at the Olympics.
Lin Mu can't understand what kind of psychology those black Yao Ming fans have, if you really don't love it, please don't be weird on the Internet A basketball player who has given everything for the motherland!
If there is no Yao Ming, the whole world may not be able to see the development of Chinese basketball.
No matter where he is in the future, at least in his career as an athlete, everything Yao Ming does is worthy of the country and the people!
"Da Yao, thank you!" Lin Mu blurted out unconsciously, this is a kind of respect for Yao Ming from the bottom of his heart.
In Lin Mu's eyes, Yao Ming deserves this!
"Thank me?"
"Don't! If you really want to thank me, just work hard in the game the day after tomorrow and strive to make the Chinese men's basketball team lose less ugly. ”
"Of course, this Chinese men's basketball team is far from as simple as you think!"
The conversation with Yao Ming has been going on, but time is like a ruthless killer, rushing like flowing water, depriving everyone of their youth.
...
On the evening of August 10th.
On that day, it rained heavily in the capital, like a shadowy midsummer, with a little boredom in the heat.
Wukesong Gymnasium, the basketball court representing the highest palace in China, will usher in a high-profile battle tonight!
Every Chinese person is looking forward to it, and some people even bought a ticket to enter the stadium for 4,000 yuan from scalpers, just to see the style of the Chinese men's basketball team.
People who had already set their alarm clocks turned on the TV screen on time and quickly switched to the sports channel with the remote control.
Lin Mu appeared in a huge decibels, looking around, he saw countless red flags, and he saw countless familiar faces.
His relatives were already sitting in the center of the venue, and Lin Mu found them at a glance.
My father didn't smile, my mother had tears in her eyes, how long had it been since I had been home, perhaps, for a long time.
Have you ever missed it?
I miss it so much!
Just like Lin Mu, everyone in the men's basketball team hasn't been together with their families for a long time, and all the dedication and patience are all for this moment!
All kinds of suffering, only blood throws!
Team USA, guys, are you ready?!
