Chapter 1337 "Men's Basketball: Road to Glory" (Part 2)

Tang Tian's opening ended here, and then he switched to the Nets' locker room.

Yi Jianlian's season is over, and he is packing his bags and preparing to return home.

Just like the summer vacation in school days, the end of the NBA season is summer vacation for players.

After a busy season, pack your things and get ready for a long offseason.

Next to Yi Jianlian is his old partner Jeremy Lin.

Both of them performed well in the past season, and they can also relax in the next offseason.

"I will go to China for an event, and then we will have dinner together."

Jeremy Lin has been to China a lot in the past few years, and he has been communicating with Yi Jianlian all the time. His ability to express Chinese is clear, and he is already half a master of China.

"It depends on the time, I want to play in the next World Cup."

Yi Jianlian said with a smile.

"You want to play in the World Cup? Well, I personally suggest that you don't play. The playoffs are so intense, and it is easy to get injured if you play in the World Cup."

Jeremy Lin made suggestions to Yi Jianlian as a teammate and as a friend.

Yi Jianlian smiled and said nothing.

"But yes, this may be your last World Cup."

Jeremy Lin is quite familiar with Yi Jianlian and knows the meaning of his expression.

Yi Jianlian nodded.

At this moment, he found a box in the closet, which was carefully decorated.

Originally it would not appear here, but for the good luck of the Nets, he temporarily took it and put it in the closet.

"What is it?"

Seeing that Yi Jianlian was still, Jeremy Lin poked his head curiously.

Yi Jianlian opened the box without saying a word, and a burst of golden light shone.

That was the gold medal of the Chinese team in the Rio Olympics in 2016.

"Oh, that's it, can I see it?"

Jeremy Lin's eyes were full of envy.

For athletes, gold medals and championship rings represent the highest honor.

Yi Jianlian handed the gold medal to Jeremy Lin carefully, and Jeremy Lin also took it carefully with both hands.

Touching, eyes full of envy.

For him, this medal is more out of reach than the NBA championship.

Finally, he reluctantly returned the gold medal to Yi Jianlian.

"Good luck."

He sends blessings.

Yi Jianlian nodded, keeping his eyes on the medal.

For a veteran of his age, the strength of the Chinese team in recent years is his last chance to chase glory.

The screen changed, and it switched back to Shen Zijie's line.

This time it is already May, and there are only 3 months left before the start of the World Cup, and the national team has already started training.

He performed well in the just-concluded warm-up match, contributing 17 points and 7 rebounds, helping the team win and also winning the approval of head coach Li Chunjiang.

While he was wiping his sweat, he noticed that Li Chunjiang and assistant coach Yannis hurried past the door of the locker room, as if something important had happened.

Curiously, he turned his head to chat with Hu Jinqiu, who was Li Chunjiang's disciple.

But Li Chunjiang shook his head, obviously not knowing what happened.

Not long after waiting, Yannis came to the locker room and called away Shen Zijie, Wang Zhelin, Zhang Zhenlin, and Hu Jinqiu.

They looked at each other, apparently not knowing what was going on.

They didn't know until Li Chunjiang told them in the coach's office.

It turned out that Zhou Qi was determined to miss the World Cup due to a knee injury.

In other words, the burden and pressure of the inside line fell on them at once.

"I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but at this time, you are a member of the Chinese men's basketball team, and you must be able to stand up at this time."

Li Chunjiang is worthy of being a strict head coach in the army, and he cut straight to the point.

Shen Zijie was the first to nod vigorously.

Although he is young and has never played for the national team before, he is a tough player at heart.

Zhou Qi's inability to play is a loss to the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, but it is also an opportunity for him.

The screen turned again and switched to Tang Antenna.

It was a press conference, Tang Tian announced his retirement from the NBA.

All the people at the scene were journalists.

"So will you play in the next Men's Basketball World Cup?"

This is also the question asked by the reporter after the camera turned around.

"Of course, I'm just temporarily retiring from the NBA."

History is also wished here.

"But wouldn't that be weird, you say you need time for your family and now you're taking time for the World Cup?"

Here the reporter's next question was added by the movie.

"It's our family's decision, my wife supports me to play for the national team and that's very important to me."

Tang Tian's answer was very serious.

The camera cuts to Olsen at the corner of the press conference, who smiles and nods to look at Tang Tian.

Before family, her country came second.

The screen was cut again, and the camera turned to Yi Jianlian again.

The latter was sitting on the sidelines, and the team doctor was helping him massage his feet.

Jeremy Lin's words came true. He suffered a foot injury shortly after returning to China and returned to the United States for treatment.

"Yi, I'm against you playing in the next World Cup, and I suggest you have surgery, otherwise your foot injury is at a high risk of getting worse."

The team doctor took the test results and said to Yi Jianlian in a pessimistic tone.

"No, conservative treatment, I can't miss the World Cup."

Yi Jianlian's attitude is very firm.

"That's really not a good decision. Yao, your former teammate of the national team, retired early because he forced to play the game!"

The team doctor is very earnest, and he is also for Yi Jianlian's good. This kind of practice of fighting with injuries is really not advisable.

"John, I have made a decision. You know Yao is my big brother, and I think the same as him. I am willing to take this risk."

What Yi Jianlian said was decisive.

"I really don't understand what you Chinese think."

The team doctor froze for a moment, sighed and shook his head.

He can only wish Yi Jianlian good luck.

The screen turned again, the warm-up match between the Chinese and Japanese teams.

The three lines of Shen Zijie, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Tian converged for the first time.

Shen Zijie defended hard on the court, Yi Jianlian made a breakthrough and dunked after stealing, Tang Tian applauded for them even though he didn't play.

The entire Wuhan Sports Center is boiling.

The Chinese team frantically slaughtered the Japanese team, the host of next year's Olympic Games.

Followed by the post-match report.

"After the Olympic championship, the world championship is the next goal of the Chinese team."

"We have four NBA players, we have Tang Tian, ​​and we will be champions."

"The World Cup at our doorstep, we look forward to witnessing the moment of glory."

...

Overwhelming reports, accompanied by one victory after another in the warm-up matches of the Chinese team.

Massacred Japan, bloody France, defeated Canada, one victory after another.

Everything is moving in a good direction, and everything indicates that the Chinese team is likely to win the world championship at home, and everything is unstoppable.
