233 Arrived in Tokyo
On June 18, there was one day left before the countdown to the start of the U19 World Championships.
Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya.
This is the official hotel of the tournament organizers, which is a four-star hotel and 900 meters away from the Tokyo Stadium.
The U.S. team is considered to be a late adjunct to the competition, and the big names generally have to pay attention to a finale, and they will not appear in public until the first day of the game.
Riding the official bus all the way out of the airport, the people on the bus were in a very hilarious atmosphere.
On this trip to Tokyo, I felt good as soon as I got off the plane.
When they took the bus out of the airport before, they had already seen a lot of fans waiting outside the airport, although they couldn't understand what was written on the Japanese signs they were holding, but they were all basketball fans who came to greet the participating teams in their jerseys, which made the young American team feel great.
I can't imagine that in Asia, which is far away in a foreign country, my group of high school students and college students have such a reputation.
It's a pity that the team leader took them through the VIP channel and went directly to the bus, and then came out of the back door of the airport, without feeling the enthusiasm of the fans in person, which is a pity for everyone.
When the bus arrived outside the Hotel Indigo, everyone saw that there were also dense fans and reporters outside the hotel.
Although the guys sitting in the bus were all holding their hands at this time, as if they were too lazy to look outside, they were really secretly surprised in their hearts, and this wave of cheers seemed to be 'unavoidable' no matter what.
After all, wearing the jersey of the American team, he represents the most powerful basketball empire on the planet.
It represents a throne that is worshiped by the whole world!
Even LeBron's face was moved.
In this World Championships, his primary goal is to defeat Lin Dong, and he has done too much targeted training for this.
In these two months of sweating, he not only greatly improved his three-point shooting rate under anti-interference, but also learned how to protect and get rid of Ben Wallace's suffocating confrontation and defense, blocking and picking with teammates, and singles without teammates...... All of them are practicing desperately.
Even, just in case, Badrov secretly got some special 'drinks' for him, which can be said to be really ready for everything, full of confidence, these days even sleeping and dreaming is the picture of himself defeating Lin Dong at the World Championships, as if the greatest meaning of his life lies in this.
But at this moment, I saw the Japanese fans outside the car window who were looking forward to it, and felt the American team uniform I was wearing.
Who hasn't had a few passionate dreams when they're young?
Compared with the fame and wealth he pursued, the sense of glory at this moment still made LeBron a little moved after all.
The sense of honor of beating Lin Dong to become a hero in the hearts of American fans and enjoying the cheers of the whole world seems to be as attractive as the 90 million knives that made him willing to go to the fire......
"Hey, LeBron, I'm going to have to let the players go out and have a representative deal with the fans in a while, I think you'll represent us." Anthony coaxed and said, "You guy knows better than we do!" Ha ha! ”
After all, the draft in June is imminent, and although the first round is scheduled for the 28th, the open joint trial will start tomorrow in Chicago, and people must be running for their own career prospects.
Therefore, the remaining gang, although filled with some NCAA star players, but now their fame in the United States is still not as good as LeBron, who is in full swing because of his fight with Lin Dong, plus Anthony, Bosh, and Wade have already been in a group with him, and the newcomers have no right to speak, and LeBron naturally became the boss of the team.
"Throw this kind of tiring thing to me, why don't you let me when you meet a beautiful girl?" LeBron laughed and teased, but he was very comfortable in his heart, and Lin Dong's affairs were not all bad things for him.
Not only has he promoted his desperate training in the past two months, allowing himself to improve his skills rapidly under great pressure, but he is now more accustomed to facing the media cameras and fans.
"What did you say? Pretty girls are tired, not to mention beautiful Japanese girls! Anthony laughed and said, "Forget how Mike was knocked out by Douglas when he came to Japan?" You are our trump card, you can't be contaminated with this, you deal with the reporters well, I will help you block those enthusiastic female fans! ”
Everyone laughed tacitly, but jokes aside, the first time to represent the United States in the international arena, and the reception that had just arrived in Tokyo was really good and exciting.
This is the face of the world's No. 1 basketball empire!
The bus slowly stopped, and the U.S. team, led by Chuck Daley, walked out of the bus with their heads held high.
Many reporters in front immediately gathered around, taking pictures and asking questions about Chuck Daley, who led the team, but it was quite lively, but it seemed that he was absent-minded and lacked the passion that an interviewer should have.
What's even more surprising is that those fans don't seem to be very enthusiastic, just chattering and buzzing on the sidelines, but they don't come up as enthusiastic as they imagined.
Are Japanese fans so reserved and so lifeless? Are these Japanese reporters so unprofessional when they are interviewed?
Just as they were feeling a little bored and bored, the players suddenly saw another team ride in a bus coming in from the entrance of the hotel.
I saw that the bus was printed with the flag of the Dragon Kingdom.
LeBron couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Such a coincidence?
Can be ...... in the next second
"Lin Dongsang!"
"Lin Dong-sang's が着いた!"
The wooden fans, who were chattering next to them and were regarded as unenthusiastic by the American players, suddenly roared wildly and excitedly, startling LeBron and the others.
Immediately after, these 'lifeless' fans suddenly stepped out of their short legs, which were only one and a half feet long, and rushed towards the Dragon Country Bus on the other side, which was almost comparable to the 100-meter trapeze battle of the Olympic Games, and the surging crowd almost squeezed the players of the American team.
Everyone was also a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Damn, I thought I was the emperor, but it turned out to be just a clown?
Didn't these guys come to meet the American team of the basketball empire? And even though I can't understand Japanese, I listen to the names they call......
Lin Dong?
LeBron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, did he bump into it just after he came? It's really ghostly......
But on the Japanese side, who cares if he picks his eyebrows or not?
Not only the fans, but even the reporters who were interviewing Chuck Daly suddenly became strange.
Those who were standing behind didn't think about it, and they threw Chuck Daley and ran in the direction of the Dragon Country Bus.
And the reporters who were talking to Chuck Daley and pointing the microphone at Chuck Daley were full of anxiety at this time, as if they were also in a hurry to get over, if it weren't for Chuck Daley's words before they finished speaking, it would be a bit rude to leave at this time, and they might have rushed faster than the others!
Chuck Daly saw the embarrassment of the reporters, and immediately understood that these reporters and fans were only here to cover the Dragons, but the American team just happened to be here first......
If this were to change to the old K, he might let the reporters go with a loud laugh, but after all, it is Chuck Daley, and the mildness on the outside is just a weapon that has always been disguised, but on the inside, he is the type that has just reached the extreme.
"The goal of the U.S. team this time is ......," he pulled the reporter to take the initiative to chat.
The interview is what you want to interview, and you can decide to start, but when it ends, I have the final say!
It's just that a few reporters have suffered, and while listening to Chuck Daley's endless talk in sweat, he can't help but look at the side of the Dragon Country Bus again.
Until I saw the tabloid reporters who had not squeezed themselves before, they actually took first-hand photos of the Dragon Country team, Lin Dong and others getting off the car, and the fans cheered and cheered Lin Dong, who had just gotten off the car, and kept saying hello, very enthusiastic......
Several reporters who were being pulled by Chuck Daley to talk were almost crying.
Lin Dong is now the top of Japan's top stream, although this competition represents the Dragon Country, but the experience of dominating the summer league and winter league twice, coupled with the Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede won the United States at the Nike summit, Japan after all let go of that game in several mainstream media in prime time, which naturally makes Lin Dong have an unparalleled status in the hearts of Japanese fans!
All the people who buy their newspapers want to read an interview about Lin Dong, not about the United States! Not to mention these American players, it's not easy for Clinton to come!
Damn, there's no more first-hand news!
Just now I was just idle and bored to interview by the way, but this damn old guy has no eyesight at all, how long will this be said......
"Lin Dongjun! Lin Dongjun! Ahhh ”
"Tiger of the Empire! The King of Basketball! ”
"The strongest man in 4.6 billion! Sign me for it! ”
Although most of the people in the car didn't know anything about Japanese, they still understood the name, and seeing this exaggerated formation in a foreign country could be compared to some international sports superstars, and the players were numb in their scalps, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lin Dong.
Cheng Jianghua was dumbfounded: "Brother Lin, are you so famous in Japan?" ”
"Didn't you say you only played in high school leagues, so how do you feel like you've played professionally in Japan?"
"Hidaka has a stronger focus in Japan than their professional leagues." Lin Dong replied with a smile: "The whole live broadcast of mainstream TV stations is still in prime time, and under the attention of the whole country, the degree of dissemination is naturally higher." ”
"Hey, Lao Lin, look, the villain who claims to end you is over there!" Zhu Fangyu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw the 'deserted' American team at the door of the hotel, who were also looking at them.
Sorry, this chapter update is too late.
Brothers, please take a leave of absence today, although I got up early in the morning, but maybe because I just adjusted my work and rest, my brain was drowsy all morning, and I was really out of shape.
Of course, let's take a leave of absence is also two chapters......
There will be a chapter in a while, and it will be sent around 5 o'clock, but the word count should not be too much
(End of chapter)
