This Forward is Not Serious

After the on-site celebration ended, the players returned to the locker room to celebrate again.

Yao Ming prepared champagne in advance, the locker room was in a mess, and Yonas couldn't escape getting wet.

After the celebration was over, a group of people changed their clothes and returned to the venue.

The award ceremony is after the finals, and they will definitely stay for the award ceremony before going to the Bird's Nest.

Durant specially ran to Lin Ying to ask for a seat.

It felt like I really "joined" the Chinese team.

After the final started, everyone quickly turned their attention to the court.

The Chinese team won the bronze medal, and many people were already satisfied, so they all watched the finals on the field with admiration.

This game is also really worth watching.

And from the start of the game, it can be seen that fiba understands football. Spain is indeed much better than Argentina after reaching its peak.

The two teams have been playing back and forth since the beginning. Even if the Mengba team replaced Wade and started to press hard, the Spanish team did not panic.

"What's his name?"

Durant looked towards the court at this time.

The young point guard actually started in the finals.

"Ricky Rubio."

Lin Ying replied.

"Is he eighteen years old?"

"Exactly eighteen."

"It's really good. He has the ability to play in the NBA."

Lin Ying nodded, then turned his eyes unconsciously to Chen Jianghua who was not far away.

Two eighteen-year-olds, both very talented point guards.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Jianghua is also nicknamed "China's Golden Boy".

It's a pity that only Rubio played in the end.

There are many factors involved, including injuries, personality, environment, etc.

I just don’t know if the men’s basketball team has achieved historic results this time. Are any overseas teams interested in Chen Jianghua?

This is actually still very important.

Because after playing in the Olympics this time, Lin Ying had an in-depth understanding of European teams.

He's okay as a point guard, but he's still not good enough to break the press.

There's nothing that can be done about it. After all, he mainly plays power forward in the NBA.

Mengba does not rely on James to break the press, but on defenders like Wade.

If Chen Jianghua can really grow up, it will definitely be a big help to the London Olympics four years later.

The finals were fierce, just like in history. At the last critical moment, Kobe's 3+1 killed the game and ignited the scene.

In the end, the Dream Team defeated the Spanish team 117-108.

After the game, the American team started celebrating wildly on the court.

Because of the failures in the past six years, this Mengba team came with a mission of revenge, and they were also under a lot of pressure.

Finally they got their wish.

The Spanish team's mood is also okay. Although it is a bit regretful that they failed to win the championship, they know that their peak has arrived.

London four years later was their peak.

Then it was their turn to take revenge.

After the U.S. team celebrated, the awards ceremony quickly began.

When the men's basketball players returned to the court, the crowd was filled with unstoppable cheers.

The sense of ritual is very important!

Although it is already known that the Chinese team has won the medal, only the moment of actual awarding is considered official certification.

A group of people were waiting for the awards. Yao Ming stood at the edge of the team, right next to Kobe. The two had a lot of exchanges.

When the exchange came to an end, Yao Ming unconsciously glanced at everyone on the US team.

Four years later, I don’t know if he and the people around him have a chance to defeat the American team.

After a while of waiting, there was a burst of cheers.

The award ceremony is finally about to begin!

The host announced the bronze medal winners:

"China!"

At the moment the announcement was made, the men's basketball team members held hands and jumped onto the podium together, and the scene was filled with unstoppable cheers.

Many viewers even burst into tears.

Lifetime series!

Men's three-goal breakthrough!

Lin Ying also put on his own bronze medal and picked it up with excitement.

The workmanship of the Beijing Olympic Games medals is very detailed, especially the inclusion of jade.

Even the bronze medal is made of copper inlaid with sapphire, which is exquisite and beautiful.

When the Chinese team's award ceremony was over and the team members took photos holding their medals high, the cheers reached their peak again.

In the final flag-raising ceremony, the American national anthem was played live, but looking at the rising Chinese flag, the national anthem filled the hearts of the audience.

Lin Ying was also filled with emotions.

The five-star red flag really rose in Wukesong!

Just like Yang Yi said before, this will be the beginning of a new era!

…

After attending the closing ceremony, Yao Ming actually took the men's basketball players to the Internet cafe to have fun.

According to Yao Ming, this special night requires a special way to celebrate.

No one objected, after all, most of them were singles, and even those with girlfriends and wives could bring them along.

Interestingly enough, Durant also went along.

Then a group of people started playing CS.

There were many popular games in China in 2008, the most popular being World of Warcraft, but that game was not suitable for a group of people to play.

The most suitable game for a dozen or so people is CS.

Then Lin Ying discovered that Yao Ming actually liked to play sniping.

Sure enough, everyone lives in a completely opposite self.

The best among the group is Durant, who charges with a submachine gun and will always die the fastest.

After playing for a while and having enough, everyone will play their own way.

Lin Ying and Durant started playing NBAlive08 online via LAN.

Don't ask why you don't play 2K. Domestic Internet cafes generally don't have that stuff at this time.

It was at this time that Lin Ying discovered that Yao Ming had started to log into World of Warcraft.

Lin Ying couldn't help but look curiously.

In the past, Yao Ming's game of Warcraft caused fans to discuss it for a long time.

After all, there was no social media before. It was interesting to think about how you could play a game with celebrities and maybe form a team together.

Yao Ming quickly logged into his own server, District 1 Nesario.

Then by the way, Lin Ying also saw Yao Ming's role.

Troll Rogue, ID Eternal Light.

And it's not just Yao Ming, the next door neighbor Liu Wei is also online. He also started in Eternity, and he is also a troll thief.

The two of them were teammates of the Shanghai team before, and it seems they formed a team to play together.

Who hasn’t been an internet addicted teenager?

After playing for a while, Durant was called by Kobe Bryant. He was supposed to be celebrating with the US team.

Lin Ying also registered a new account and played World of Warcraft with Yao Ming and others for a while.

After playing for a while, Yao Ming discovered that Lin Ying was definitely not a novice.

"Where's your big one? Hurry up! Here's the copy!"

Lin Ying shook his head. He tried it just now and couldn't log into the account in his previous life.

After playing for a while and getting tired, Lin Ying and Yao Ming talked about basketball again.

When the award was presented earlier, Yao Ming already had something in mind.

Now that they were talking, he also talked to Lin Ying about what would happen in London four years later.

"Dayao, actually I have a suggestion."

Lin Ying listened and knew that the time had come to say something.

"Um?"

The two were chatting easily, but Lin Ying's sudden seriousness made Yao Ming look suspicious.

"Do you think that with your current body, you can survive until London in four years?"

A question that cuts straight to the soul.

Yao Ming was silent.

The answer is actually already in my heart.

Only he knows the damage this forced comeback will cause him.

He now has no feeling at all in one of the soles of his feet.

According to his own estimation, there is a high probability that he can play for another two to three years. It is really hard to say what will happen in London in four years.

"My advice is, you should lose weight."

Lin Ying didn't hesitate and got straight to the point.

In fact, he wanted to say this when he saw Yao Ming for the first time.

At that time, Yao Ming had not suffered this serious injury.

If you could listen to him, there would be no need for such a forced comeback in this Olympics, leaving huge sequelae.

But just like when he was in a daze all night after receiving the call that Yao Ming was injured that day, he knew that Yao Ming would not listen.

But now, the timing is different!

If Yao Ming really wants to be in London four years later, losing weight is an inevitable choice.

Because his injured ankle cannot support his weight, especially when he is playing under Adelman.

Yao Ming hasn't spoken yet, obviously considering the pros and cons of Lin Ying's suggestion.

Seeing this reaction, Lin Ying knew that he had chosen the right time.

"Based on the current situation, there are fewer and fewer heavy-duty centers in the league, right? The NBA is encouraging outside attacks and shooting is increasing."

Lin Ying strikes while the iron is hot.

"And in this Olympics, you should also be able to feel that it is not just a change in the NBA. Guards always use pick-and-rolls to shoot you, but they can't get out of you."

Yao Ming nodded at this time. What Lin Ying said was very on point.

"Of course the most important thing is that your feet can't bear your current weight. Appropriate weight loss can reduce the burden and make you more flexible in the Princeton system.

As for the lost confrontations, I think it is worth it in order to be able to go to London together four years later to fight for the gold medal we all want. "

Lin Ying finally unleashed his trump card.

After hearing this, Yao Ming was thinking again.

"I need to go back and think about it."

After hearing Yao Ming's last answer, Lin Ying knew that his suggestion must have worked.

"Dayao, I don't want to end up in London without you. You know we definitely can't do it without you."

Lin Ying said finally.

This is true. We still don’t know if Yi Jianlian will be like in history when he comes to the Nets.

If so, without Yao Ming, not to mention the gold medal, the semi-finals would be on the line.

Whether or not there is a strong insider in the fiba arena makes a huge difference.

…

The men's basketball team won the medal, which caused an unprecedented violent response in the country.

The grand occasion far surpassed that of when Liu Xiang won the championship.

If I have to make an analogy, it is equivalent to a Chinese being delisted from the Olympic 100-meter final.

"Promote the spirit of Chinese basketball and show the style of Chinese men."

This set took the men's basketball team's medal winning process to a new level.

This is a new name "Men's Basketball Spirit" after the "Women's Volleyball Team Spirit".

Someone took the lead, and the major media and TV stations followed with overwhelming reports.

The influence of men's basketball in the country has reached an unprecedented peak.

The 12 people on the men's basketball roster are known to more viewers.

Just like when Liu Xiang won the 110-meter hurdles, the originally unpopular event of the 110-meter hurdles became well known to many audiences.

This wave also brought a considerable number of new fans in the country.

The influence of basketball in China has skyrocketed unprecedentedly.

…

After the Olympics, Lin Ying did not return to the United States to train immediately.

Because there are still advertisements waiting for him to shoot.

What ad?

I signed with Yida before!

Shooting commercials with him is Wanwan artist Guo Biting, the legendary "Yida Girl".

The advertisement is very similar to the one in history. The only difference is that the person buying the chewing gum became Lin Ying, and then Lin Ying said, "It's your Yida."

This wave of advertisements featuring handsome men and beautiful women is quite effective.

Especially after the men's basketball team won the medal, news reports were overwhelming, and any commercial Lin Ying filmed would be explosive.

You can refer to the history of Brother Hu's popularity after filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Of course, scandals are inevitable.

Just like when Yi Jianlian and Liu Yifei finished filming the Yogurt commercial, there were snapshots of the commercial scene, as well as photos of them eating together after filming the commercial.

Why did the two of them behave so intimately that Lin Ying took Guo Biting to the room for three hours to review the script.

The first picture of the forest shadow series.

But don't tell me, this may be Lin Ying's most serious scandal.

And a very interesting thing is that while Lin Ying was busy filming Yida commercials, Yi Jianlian also accepted Green Arrow commercials.

Wrigley signed two future stars of the men's basketball team at once.

The legendary "chew green arrows and relax" is still here!

But this also reflects one thing: sports athletes will not be short of money after they have achieved results.

Especially basketball, a sport whose influence in the country is second only to football.

The fan base determines its market.

And it’s not just money. While Lin Ying was busy being an endorsement, several other members of the national team also received invitations.

For example, Sun Yue received a signing invitation from the Lakers after the Olympics!

This is what happened in history.

What has not happened in history is that it was not only Sun Yue who received the invitation to sign a contract, but also Zhu Fangyu!

Zhu Fangyu received a contract invitation from the Suns with a one-year minimum salary and a fully guaranteed contract!

Zhu Fangyu, agreed!

In fact, you asked Zhu Fangyu if he wants to play in the NBA?

there must be!

Who wouldn’t want to go to the highest-level league like the NBA if they have the opportunity?

Including 2006 and 2007, Zhu Fangyu received invitations from the NBA one after another.

It's just either the same training camp contract as Liu Wei's back then, or a 10-day short contract.

The Suns are the one offering a 10-day short contract.

But Zhu Fangyu refused because the uncertainty was too great.

According to what he said at the time, he would go if he was given a long-term appointment and would not consider anything else.

This is understandable. He has already become famous in the CBA, and there is no need to risk everything for an uncertain future.

Things have changed now.

Zhu Fangyu's outstanding outside performance in the Olympics, as well as the wallet raised by the Nuggets next door, allowed the Suns to offer Zhu Fangyu a better contract.

Although it was not the long-term contract he wanted, he was still moved by the rare opportunity presented to him.

Of course, another factor that cannot be ignored is the "Chinese trend" in the NBA.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Lin Ying, and Sun Yue, who signed with the Lakers, four of the five starters in the Olympics will play in the NBA next season.

In this context, it’s totally worth giving it a try!

This is from the NBA. In addition, La Liga's Juventus also extended a multi-year contract invitation to Chen Jianghua.

Because Rubio has announced that he will participate in the draft next season, and Fernandez will also land in the NBA in the new season, Juventus is in short supply of defenders.

At this time, Chen Jianghua, who had shown certain potential in the Olympics, successfully attracted their attention.

The Guangdong team has a liberal attitude towards its players going to play in the NBA.

However, since there is no European precedent, this is still unknown.

Even because Zhu Fangyu chose to go to the NBA, the team's strength has been reduced a lot next season. It will be even more difficult if Chen Jianghua is lost again.

Sometimes having too many national players can be a headache.

It was at this time that the Basketball Association, which had always been criticized by fans, quietly took action.

In fact, I can feel that as the men's basketball team performs, the concept of the basketball association is also changing.

They are not opposed to players going overseas for training, and even encourage them.

After all, the strength of these national players has increased, and in the end they will feed back the national team.

Better results mean better work performance for them.

Ever since, I don’t know what agreement was made between the Basketball Association and the Guangdong team, but Chen Jianghua finally agreed to play in La Liga.

At the age of 18, he became the first Chinese basketball player to travel to Europe, which also attracted the attention of many fans.

Because this time the men's basketball team won the medal, many people's life trajectories have quietly changed.
