Listening to the voice of the translator next to him, LeBron and the others figured out the situation and what those Japanese fans were shouting.

The king of basketball? Tiger of the Empire? 4.6 billion strongest men?

This is not just to praise that person, but also the attitude of the Japanese media and fans to perfunctory them first and then chase after Dragon Country...... The dignified basketball empire, where you go is held in the palm of your hand, and you are chased by the local media and you kneel for an interview, when did you suffer such an insult?!

The face of the American team is ugly.

Until the dragon team came to the door of the hotel in a jubilant crowd.

The U.S. team was obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Japanese organizers, a bit of a wait here, Chuck Daley deliberately occupied the door and did not let go of the way through the reporter's interview, and the players behind him obviously also felt the coach's intention to provoke the other party, and stood up straight one by one, blocking the gate tightly.

So the dragon team also stopped.

Director Jiang looked at Chuck Daley in front of him with a smile, looked at the American team with a gloomy face, and then looked at the enthusiastic fans around him, obviously understanding the cause of the problem at a glance.

Director Jiang felt very refreshed.

He knew that Lin Dong had played in Hi High School and was also a star in Japanese high schools, but he really didn't expect Lin Dong to be so sought after in Japan.

Not only the fans, but even the journalists, is this even the American team standing aside?

Frankly speaking, as the godfather of Dragon Country basketball, he has already led the Dragon Country team around in the eighties and nineties, but he can only run rampant in Asia, and every time he plays international competitions, he is the object of being snubbed and losing wherever he goes when he leads the team out.

This is all thanks to Lin Dong's blessing, I hope that one day, when the Dragon Kingdom goes to other countries to compete, it can also have this treatment!

Director Jiang enjoyed it all...... So he didn't rush, but led the team to stand there and wait.

And it was only at this time that the reporters and fans who were still frantically chasing Lin Dong to ask questions just now realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

The players of the American team all looked coldly at the side of the Dragon Kingdom, and the players of the Dragon Kingdom glared back not to be outdone.

There was a little bit of tension on both sides.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, then slapped their heads, and then slapped the shutter wildly.

I just wanted to interview a one-man show, but I didn't expect to sing a double reed, and the game hasn't started yet, so there's another big news tonight!

The reporters who had been impatient for a long time after listening to Chuck Daley's words were keenly aware of the change in atmosphere at this time, and then thought about the grievances between the two families, so they took the opportunity to introduce the topic.

"Coach Chuck, the Dragon Nation is here!" The reporter finally found an opportunity to interject while Chuck Daley was speaking, he was really afraid of this old man, so he simply handed the microphone directly to LeBron next to him: "Mr. LeBron, at the Nike summit, Lin Dongjun of the Dragon Country single-handedly defeated the American national youth team with an unprecedented lineup at that time, and also defeated you, I heard that you announced on American social media that you would fight Lin Dongjun in Tokyo, I don't know what preparations have been made in the past two months to fulfill your promise?" ”

The reporter's voice was very loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the door of the hotel.

The camera focused on LeBron, and I saw him smile slightly: "First of all, I want to correct a point, no one can beat a team by themselves, the victory of the Nike Summit International Team, those European players are very strong, it's a pity that you ignore their efforts, this is an injustice to those European players who have done everything for the Nike Summit." ”

"Of course, there are many other factors, such as we don't know our opponents well enough, such as me and Jay's injuries, and as for what I've done in the past two months, of course I'm trying my best to recover." LeBron said, turning his head to look in Lin Dong's direction.

"Now that Jay and I are back healthy, we've brought the best talent in the world to Tokyo." LeBron said, pointing his finger directly at Lin Dong quite domineeringly: "We are the undoubted champions, and I personally will defeat him in the presence of the whole world to wash away the shame that the United States suffered during the Nike summit, this is what we are about to do!" ”

Chuck Daley shook his head secretly in the back, this guy is still not sophisticated enough, and he has been forced by the Internet to be a little demonic during this time in the United States, after all, he is only a 17-year-old child.

Team USA is ranked No. 1 in the world, and the Dragons are ranked No. 16, what kind of battle are you? Isn't that tantamount to praising them? Wouldn't it be better to say lightly 'I'm waiting for you in the final, if you can come'?

But the entrance of the hotel suddenly became quiet.

Chuck Daly obviously doesn't know Japan well enough, and LeBron may be a little more straightforward than he thinks.

After all, international rankings or something, it might be useful to come to Jordan, but a group of American high school students? I'm sorry, they only know Lin Dong, and they don't think there's anything wrong with LeBron challenging Lin Dong, hasn't the 4.6 billion strongest man always been the object of challenge?

That's normal!

The reporters were so excited that their hands were shaking with the microphones, and they had even figured out the headlines for tonight's front-page headlines.

Then everyone looked at the Dragon Country Team with great anticipation, looked at Lin Dong, and waited for his response.

I saw Lin Dong smile and look at the nearest reporter next to him.

The reporter understood and immediately handed over the microphone.

"I heard that FIBA has prepared sufficient medical insurance for the game this time, and there are many professional doctors on the scene...... Lin Dong said with a smile: "So I believe you won't be injured again this time, hey, relax, LeBron, I hope you have fun." ”

The corners of LeBron's mouth couldn't help twitching, Lin Dong's English level was not bad, and he could completely hear that the other party was sarcastically mocking him about fake injuries.

This question, he has encountered countless times in the United States, and he has long had 10,000 ways to quibble, but this time it doesn't seem to work, because before he could speak, the Japanese fans outside actually laughed.

There were even Japanese fans shouting in fluent English: "That softie won't like doctors, he hates serious and responsible doctors!" ”

"Because then you won't be able to get hurt and escape, hahaha!"

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, if you want to win Lin Dongjun, let's just play a game today, I bet on Lin Dongjun to beat him 10 to 0!"

"Give some face, 10 to 1."

The Americans were stunned.

In their eyes, Japan has always been a 'docile and polite' younger brother, how can this ...... Dare to be so presumptuous? It feels like LeBron insulted their head of state?!

Frankly, LeBron really picked the wrong provocation.

If he said this to Lin Dong in the Dragon Kingdom, and then Lin Dong fought back like this, the scene would definitely not be coaxed, but this is in Japan.

First, Lin Dong's invincible image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the care of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede in the international team arena, as well as the previous experience of studying in Japan, so that he now has countless die-hard fans in Japan, and secondly, because of the attention of the Japanese whole country to the Nike Summit, and because it was a videotape that was bought later, so when broadcasting the commentary, the commentators will naturally mention a few sentences of 'what happened afterwards', 'Peyton's video' and the like.

Therefore, few people in the Dragon Country know about the injury stalk, but it is really well known in Japan, and if you want Japanese fans to choose between a so-called five-star high school and Lin Dong who don't know it, the answer is obviously obvious.

If you are faced with the difficulties of reporters, there is still a lot of room for refutation, after all, no matter how difficult it is for reporters, they have to hand over the microphone to listen to you and be reasonable, which is nothing more than some eye-catching words, no matter what the problem, as long as you are smart enough, you can dismantle the tricks.

But these fans don't reason with you...... It won't even give you a chance to speak.

The sudden boos from the audience caused many people in the hotel to hear the movement, some looking down from the windowsill, some running downstairs to watch in the hall, teams, players, coaches from all over the world...... Among them, there are naturally many European players who participated in the Nike summit before, and everyone is talking to each other, giggling, and pointing, making LeBron instantly feel as if he has become a global public enemy.

The U.S. team was a little embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage at all.

Fark ...... Isn't this Tokyo? How do you feel like you're at home in the Dragon Country?

These Japanese speakers are from the Dragon Kingdom, right?!

………………

When the farce at the hotel door was over and they returned to the hotel room to reunite, the group of dragons was about to go crazy laughing.

"Is it so cool to slap the United States in the face? I just wanted the whole bottle to be dry...... These little Japan are really amazing! ”

"Pay attention to the words." Director Jiang reminded with a smile: "This is in Tokyo." ”

"Hahaha, this is Lao Lin's territory, not to mention Tokyo, there are still a lot of people spraying that guy in the United States." Zhu Fangyu said triumphantly: "But where is this, if you want to say cool, it's cool when you win them on the court!" Lao Lin and I have already had a good time in Seattle, and this time I will take you to experience it too! Hahahaha! ”

"It's so ambitious." Director Jiang scolded with a smile: "Save this energy to deal with tomorrow's opponent first!" ”

The schedule of the competition was decided by draw half a month ago.

Group A: Dragons, Spain, Serbia and Montenegro, France.

Group B: Lebanon, Egypt, Republic of Korea, Japan.

Group C: United States, Canada, Slovenia, Turkey.

Group D: Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, Madagascar.

After getting this group at that time, the slogan shouted by the Dragon Basketball Association to the domestic media was to protect eight and fight for four.

But don't think that the basketball association has set this goal low.

At that time, the youth training of the Dragon Country was actually just in the beginning of development, even if it was the most optimistic national youth a few years ago, the team already had Yao Ming, Li Nan, Guo Shiqiang and other current Asian star players, who could participate in the 97 World Youth Championships in Melbourne, lost 79 points in the first game against Puerto Rico, and then lost to Lithuania, the United States, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia...... Even the South Korean national youth at that time won the dragon national youth by 2 points, lost all seven games, and the results were at the bottom.

It can be said that no matter in the basketball circle of the Dragon Country or the world basketball world, the Youth of the Dragon Country has always only belonged to the middle and lower levels, and the qualification for the World Championships is there, but that is only because the Asian youth teams are generally weak and tall among the short.

Therefore, even if Lin Dong played a highlight performance at the Nike Summit, his teammates in the international team are not at a level that Long Guoqing can match.

A historical breakthrough?

Protecting the eight of the four miles is already a historical breakthrough for the youth of the Dragon Kingdom! The Basketball Association dares to have the courage to shout again to fight for the fourth, which is already unprecedentedly bold, after all, if you shout the slogan and can't do it, then someone in the Dragon Country has to stand up and take the blame.

But this is clearly only the idea of the leadership.

For this team that has been running in for two months, getting along with each other every day, and already knows Lin Dong's strength very well, his inner thoughts are not just about fighting for four.

Who says one person can't beat a team?

As long as your teammates are up to you, willing to do the dirty work for you, willing to give you unlimited possession.

Of course, more importantly, as long as you're strong enough!

This is probably the one that Director Jiang feels most looking forward to in his life.

Regardless of strength or Lin Dong's personal cohesion, this Dragon Country Youth team is no longer on the same level as the former world ranking.

He pointed to Spain, the opponent for tomorrow's first game on the schedule.

"A dragon country and the national team have never won against the opponent, but tomorrow ...... I hope everything can change! ”

"Surprise them!"

“HOHOHO！ The dragon kingdom will win! ”
