The three of them are still hanging in Lakeside High School, even if they go to the NBA, they don't have to break it, the school will give an indefinite vacation, and after two years, they will still issue graduation certificates as special talents of the school, which is a win-win situation for everyone, the player has a famous school graduation certificate, and it is somewhat face-saving when it is hung on the encyclopedia entry, and the school can also get a certain honor and publicity.

However, since April 16, the NBA officially entered the names of Lin Dong and the three in this year's draft, and the supersonic arena can no longer go.

Although Schulz and Lin Dong already have endorsement cooperation, even if they go, it can be said that it is a contract demand, but this kind of empty trouble and leaving a mouth for the alliance is still unnecessary after all.

The matter between SuperSonics and Lin Dong, not to mention Seattle now, the entire league and even fans across the United States actually know it, no matter how Lin Dong performs during the trial, SuperSonics will definitely sign him with the top pick.

It's just a matter of waiting, waiting for the playoffs to end, waiting for the tryouts to come.

Since the open audition for the draft is not until late May,

Lin Dong took the time to go back to the Dragon Kingdom, April 19th was Lao Lin's birthday, and he specially asked for leave to return to China to spend with Lao Lin and his son.

I wanted to take Yuya with me, but Yuya has already started school, and the crucial SAT and ACT exams are about to be ushered in, which are equivalent to the college entrance examination in the Dragon Kingdom, and they can only be separated for the time being.

During the time I returned to China, I naturally had to contact Sun Yue and other friends, and I also went to Guangdong Hongyuan's home stadium with Sun Yue to watch the CBA finals.

Zhu Fangyu and his colleagues performed well in the CBA this season, leading Guangdong Hongyuan to the CBA finals.

Facing the Bayi men's basketball team with the god of war Liu Yudong, Zhu Fangyu, who has experienced the baptism of the Nike Summit and the World Championships, averaged 25 points and 6 rebounds per game, and Wang Shicang also scored an average of 16 points per game, helping Du Feng defeat the Bayi men's basketball team with a big score of 3:2 and win the first CBA championship trophy in team history, and Zhu Fangyu also beat Du Feng with 3 votes and won the MVP of the finals.

This may be the youngest MVP in the history of the CBA, and in previous years, it would have been hyped by the media, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time.

At this time, domestic fans have almost been dragged away from all their attention by Lin Dong, who is about to participate in the draft, and Yao Ming, who is playing in the NBA playoffs......

The Washington Wizards, who have attracted much attention, faced the eighth-ranked Pacers in the first round in early April, and were actually down 0-2 at the beginning and were on the verge of elimination.

Facing the Pacers' JO O'Neal Jr., the main center Kristen Leitner did not perform well in both games, averaging 6.5 points and 5 rebounds per game, while Yao Ming, who came off the bench, also performed averagely, scoring 9 points and 5 rebounds in the first game, and only scored 2 points and 3 rebounds in the second game.

The performance of the two centers was completely blown out by O'Neal Jr., who averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds per game in the two games, and O'Neal Jr. became the winner and loser of the two games.

Frankly speaking, although Lin Dong, a genius born in the Dragon Kingdom, is now quite popular in the United States, it has really brought a wave of hatred to the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, since the Nike summit in April last year, that little devil from the East has rubbed the pride of American youth basketball on the ground for a whole year......

There are many people who don't like Lin Dong, especially some real insiders, these people can't find a point to attack Lin Dong, so all the attack points are focused on Yao Ming, who is not performing well, who let you all come from the Dragon Kingdom, and you are all destined to be the top pick in the draft?

In the logic of these people, belittling Yao Ming is equivalent to belittling the top pick in the Dragon Country draft, which is also equivalent to belittling Lin Dong.

- The most watery champion in history, Asians' physique is not suitable for this sport, Jordan is playing with two giant babies!

- Except for being tall, this Asian is good for nothing.

All sorts of taunts began to sweep across the country.

This also caused dissatisfaction among many Dragon Country fans and Asians, who angrily accused the Wizards on the Internet of not giving Da Yao enough playing time.

This has been unanimously supported by all netizens, those who like Dragon Kingdom naturally hope that Da Yao can prove himself, while those who don't like it are more willing to see the script of 'even if your requirements are met, you are still a piece of'.

The call for a film on the Internet made the wizards simply put their hearts sideways, and in the third game, Yao Ming started......

Anyway, Christine's performance was like that, and his performance in the first two games of the playoffs was no better than Yao Ming's, and he was obviously a bit overwhelmed in the high-intensity defensive playoffs.

Since the performance is almost the same, or even worse, what can Yao Ming do if he starts one game?

And when this starting list was announced, the big-mouthed Buckley was happy in the live broadcast room.

He didn't care about Yao Ming, mainly because he wanted to see Jordan's jokes.

has been suppressed by Jordan for a lifetime, and now I finally see that this guy also has a time when he is deflated in the playoffs.

"Jordan is going to have his first first-round loss in the playoffs of his NBA career, and the Dragon Nation champion he drafted is unlikely to score more than 19 points in this game!"

The host asked him rhetorically: "Yao Ming's talent is still there, he also scored 9 points in 19 minutes in the first game of the playoffs, and now he is used as a starter, what if he gets enough playing time and exceeds 19?" ”

Barkley laughed and said, "His physical strength is not enough to sustain the whole court in the face of playoff defensive intensity, and it is useless to give him any more time, hey man, watch!" If Asians can go above 19 points, the sun will really come out of the west, and I will kiss the ass hard in front of a national audience! Kiss until the donkey blushes and is embarrassed! ”

And then......

Lin Dong watched the game with Sun Yue in a small bar in Yanjing, of course, you don't have to drink to enter the bar, you can also drink drinks, the main thing is to feel the atmosphere of the scene.

Of course, you have to pick an inconspicuous corner, and the brim of the hat is also very low......

There were only twenty four-person tables in the small bar hall, but at this time there were hundreds of people, many of whom had the logo of the Dragon Kingdom flag on their faces, or wore the No. 5 jersey of the Wizards, which was Yao Ming's number.

Before the start of the game, the excitement and heated discussions in the whole bar, and the cheers to celebrate Da Yao's final start came one after another, and everyone was extremely excited.

But to be honest, after staying in the United States for a long time and getting to know the basketball circle over there, Lin Dong realized that Da Yao's starting position this time was not necessarily a good thing.

The Wizards chose Da Yao as the champion, in addition to Da Yao's own skills, in fact, they also value Yao Ming's fan base in the Dragon Country and his commercial value, Jordan, as one of the shareholders of the Wizards, although he also cares about this, but compared to the current thoughts of the team's top management, he wants to win more.

Combined with the constant rumors that Jordan angrily sprayed the Wizards' top management in the middle of the season and asked them to trade Yao Ming, then this starting arrangement at this time is very intriguing.

This may be a tacit understanding between the Wizards' top management and Jordan, Yao Ming is played, then he can stay in the Wizards, if he can't play, just listen to Jordan and trade him!

Lin Dong personally thinks it's okay, if the Wizards want to trade Da Yao, then he will definitely use all his energy to persuade Schulz to pull Da Yao to supersonic at all costs.

Only he understands what kind of potential this dragon center has who only averaged 7.5 points per game in his rookie season after the change of history.

Da Yao didn't feel good at the beginning, and in the first quarter, he faced O'Neal Jr.'s strong scramble on the inside, shooting 1 of 3, only getting 2 points and 1 rebound, and the Wizards trailed by a full 10 points at 19:29.

And when he just came on the court in the second quarter, the first rebound scramble, Yao Ming was fiercely overturned by O'Neal Jr., and when he sat on the ground, the angry Jordan pointed at Yao Ming on the TV and scolded angrily: "Go home baby!" Go home！ ”

Because it was a live broadcast, a close-up was deliberately given, even if the voice was not very clear, but such a simple word, just by looking at the lip shape, you can see it.

At this moment, the whole bar fell silent.

A seven or eight-year-old guy who followed his parents to watch the game obviously didn't understand English or mouth shape, but he felt that everyone suddenly quieted down, so he asked curiously: "Dad, Dad, what did that black uncle say to Brother Yao Ming?" ”

The innocent voice spread far and wide in this suddenly quiet bar, and almost everyone could hear it.

Of course you know the answer, what Jordan said is to go home, this giant baby!

But who can translate for this child?

Although Director Sun in the CCTV live broadcast room immediately took the topic to another place.

But Lin Dong could still feel quite clearly that a silent emotion was slowly spreading in the bar.

It was a kind of humiliation, a kind of loneliness, a kind of inferiority complex that seemed to be drained of the soul.

That's the best player in the Dragon Country, that's the omnipotent god in the CBA, and the absolute king in the hearts of all fans.

But when he stood on the NBA court, he became a giant baby who was disliked.

Is the king of the Dragon Kingdom only worthy of such treatment......

The ancient saying of the Dragon Kingdom is that Yelang is arrogant, and he has been talked about by the people of the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years, but now he suddenly discovered that the Dragon Kingdom is the one who is the Yelang.

Someone cried in the bar, as if it was not Yao Ming who was being scolded but him.

Some people silently lit cigarettes, and some walked out of the bar dejectedly.

The mood of grief and indignation made Lin Dong a little awe-inspiring.

This is not 2028, and the people of the Dragon Kingdom in this era are far from having as much self-confidence as they did in later generations.

For future generations, a game and a star can only represent a sport, but this is not the case for the people of the Dragon Kingdom in this era......

A big man sitting at the table next to Lin Dong looked extremely hot-tempered, and with a 'C', he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and threw it on the ground, but was caught by a big hand.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong didn't want to be nosy, but there was no way, the big brother was not very particular in his anger, and if he didn't take it, the wine bottle would come up at his feet.

He handed the wine bottle back with a smile: "Big brother, the game is not over yet, don't get excited, I think Da Yao is about to explode soon." ”

", you're going to do it?! You know a hammer! The strong man was obviously a senior fan, and he was angry again, and scolded angrily: "How many games have you only watched? Mao didn't grow up to predict it, and it broke out, that's the NBA! Our best players can only be abused, and we dragon people can't do those Yankees, you ......"

He looked at Lin Dong's face and was suddenly stunned.

"Ah...... You are ......"

Lin Dong smiled and made a 'shhh' gesture at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Big brother, don't worry, I will go up, but today we are watching Da Yao." ”

Lin Dong looked at the close-ups that kept giving Da Yao on the TV.

The eyes that were scolded by Jordan did not show loss and despair, but instead there was a look that made Lin Dong feel extremely familiar.

Absolute focus and calmness, without the slightest distraction.

Zone！

Lin Dong has always followed Da Yao's games in the NBA, and has watched almost every game, but he has never seen Da Yao enter the zone, including when he used to train with the Big Sharks.

It was his first time!

Some people open the zone in vain, because their own strength is not enough, but if it is Da Yao......

"We'll see." Lin Dong smiled and said to the excited eldest brother: "The show is about to begin!" ”

As one of the important supporting roles in the later period, Da Yao must still give a little space, rest assured, it won't be too much, the whole is just two chapters, this chapter and the next chapter
