Chapter 671 Heroes, Love, and Champions!

Yes’s return to China this time was a much-anticipated one.

After Yes achieved such great success in the NBA, the whole country was looking forward to his return. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is looking forward to it.

The sales of Yes’s championship commemorative edition ball, the second generation, in China were so terrible that even Amazon’s president Bezos was shocked.

It is now 2008, and China’s per capita GDP is just about 3,500 US dollars.

Although Yes’s signature sneakers are sold cheaper in China at Yes’s request, such a performance of over one million sales in half a month should not appear in China.

With such expectations, Yes is finally back now.

When Yes returned to China, those who had been waiting for Yes finally all came in one go.

CCTV’s documentary team, CCTV’s interview team, CCTV’s news team, CCTV…

After Yes returned to China, according to Ye’s father and mother, when they turned on the TV, they saw their son everywhere.

My son just finished one set, and he is about to finish five sets. He can even make a guest appearance in two sets from time to time, and even seven sets once. The hot sales of the second generation of Yes have driven the great development of China's agriculture...

After Yes returned to China, with the promotion of the national media, the whole country has set off a Yes fever.

This kind of enthusiasm is really creepy in the eyes of Ye's father and mother.

They are both happy and worried that their son is so promising.

Neighbors have said that the whole country is waiting for Yes's performance to make China surpass the United States in the number of gold medals in the 2008 local Olympic Games!

The mainstream prediction of sports experts across the country is that China will win about 40 Olympic gold medals this year, which is taking into account Yes's advantage in middle and long-distance track and field events. The number of gold medals won by the United States in the last Olympics was 35. If we look at the last Olympics, it seems easy for China to surpass the United States in gold medals in the Beijing Olympics.

But you have to know that in the 2004 Athens Olympics, many outstanding American athletes did not participate due to special reasons, resulting in the 2004 Olympics being one of the worst Olympic Games in American history. Judging from the United States' Olympic results over the years, although 40 gold medals are already a lot, it seems not enough to stabilize the United States.

But on the other hand, without Yes's middle and long distance track and field events, China is unlikely to even defeat the United States.

It can be said that the biggest reason why Yes is so popular in China now is his achievements in the NBA, and the biggest fuel is that he carries the expectations for the 2008 Olympics.

Such expectations seem nothing to Yes, but for those around him, it really looks worrying.

Yes is very clear that he is carrying the heavy responsibility of defeating the United States and making China the first in the local Olympics.

After Yes returned to China, the attention and support from all sides are all-round and visible to the naked eye.

For example, when Yes travels, his security has been completely replaced. Is it the level? The highest level.

For example, the food that Ye Si eats is specially provided. As long as Ye's father and mother provide a menu, it will be delivered immediately. Even drinking water is specially provided.

According to Tang Xiaoyao, even American presidents who come to China do not receive such treatment.

"Ye Si, I suddenly found that you have suddenly become a panda when you return to China this time."

"..."

"The treatment of pandas is not as good as his. He is rarer than pandas."

"..."

Faced with the complaints of the two girls around him, Ye Si could only be speechless.

Being treated as a panda is also a very strange thing for Ye Si.

This is a kind of treatment that reflects the expectations of the whole country with practical actions.

He got these things, and what he paid was to meet the expectations of the whole country in the future.

"Ye Zi, have you adapted to the completely different life now?"

After Ye Si returned to China, many people came to visit him, and Liu Xiang was the most special one.

In Shanghai, this is Ye Si's hometown. Even in Ye Si's hometown, Ye Si does not have many friends, especially friends of the same sex.

Other friends of the opposite sex include Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi. The two have been playing his role in China, accompanying Ye's father and mother who are unwilling to go abroad.

As for same-sex friends, they are Yao Ming and Liu Xiang.

Yao Ming is now training with the Chinese national team. One week later, after Yes's vacation, Yes will meet up with the Chinese men's basketball team in Xihu City to prepare for the Stankovic Cup.

So, now in Shanghai, Yes has only one same-sex friend, Liu Xiang, who has been staying in Shanghai for the final rehabilitation training.

When he saw this sunny boy who likes to laugh again, Yes frowned.

This boy, who has been surrounded by all mysteries in the past two months, is in a very bad condition.

On the balcony of Yes's house, Yes and Liu Xiang sat there looking at the stars outside.

In the kitchen, Ye's mother was busy with Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi.

The biggest surprise of this return to China was that Xiaoyao actually filmed a TV series. Another surprise was that Lin Qiuyi was not so clear-headed. Although she was still not very enthusiastic, she was no longer so distant.

"Ye Zi, are you scared by this kind of life?"

Ye Si took his eyes off Lin Qiuyi and Tang Xiaoyao, who had become very good friends now, and shook his head at Liu Xiang.

"I knew that Ye Zi was completely different from me and Dayao."

Liu Xiang's face showed a true smile and continued: "When I received such treatment for the first time, I was excited, very excited. I felt as if I was the center that could determine the operation of the entire world, affecting hundreds of millions. People’s emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are a feeling that people can’t explain.”

There were memories and regrets on Liu Xiang's face.

"Later, when I realized their expectations, this country's expectations of me, I became nervous, worried, panicked and scared. I was really afraid of disappointing their expectations."

"Their expectations are really scary, but also really innocent..."

Seeing the wry smile on Liu Xiang's face, Ye Si's frown became even more curved.

"Is this why you still insist on playing?"

Ye Si's brows were furrowed, the expression on his face became a little cold, and his voice became questioning.

For Liu Xiang, it was difficult for him to see Ye Si's expression like this.

Faced with Ye Si's questioning attitude, Liu Xiang nodded and shook his head.

"No one forced me, not others, nor myself."

Liu Xiang smiled when he saw the somewhat cold expression on Ye Si's face relieved.

"Ye Zi, the highest achievement of an ancient general was to seal the wolf to Xu and Le Shi Yanran. Do you know what the second-highest achievement is to seal the wolf and Ju Xu and Le Shi Yanran?"

"..."

"die on the battlefield!"

"When a general is buried in horse leather, even if he is a defeated general, he has repaid all the karma."

"leaf……"

Looking at Ye Si who was surprised and silent by his words at this time, Liu Xiang stroked his tired Achilles tendon and sighed with a smile.

"It's my choice."

"I volunteered."

"After all, I am one of those billions of people."

The smile was still so cheerful and sunny, and Ye Si couldn't open his eyes with such cheerfulness and sunshine.

Liu Xiang did not stay for dinner.

Although this is Ye Si's home, the care team around him still hopes that he will not eat anywhere else.

It's not cumbersome and cumbersome, it's effective protection.

Ye Si's visit was a great shock to Ye Si.

Before returning to China, he once thought about Liu Xiang's state of mind at this time.

He had made many guesses, but he never thought that Liu Xiang's current mental state was like this.

"When a general is buried in horse leather, even if he is a defeated general, he has repaid all the karma..."

Wrapped in horse leather?

Even after Liu Xiang left, the image of Liu Xiang speaking the bloodiest sentence in the most passionate tone was still in his mind.

only……

Can you really repay all the karma?

Ancient times and modern times are different...

Maybe his blood didn't wash away all the cause and effect, but instead attracted a swarm of flies.

"Ye Si, are you okay? You've been depressed since Liu Xiang left."

"It's okay, I just thought about something."

Ye Si showed a reassuring smile to the concerned Tang Xiaoyao and shook his head.

"Is Liu Xiang's injury not optimistic?"

On the way Ye Si sent Lin Qiuyi home, Lin Qiuyi's slightly cold voice made Ye Si nod.

He is not a talkative person, and Lin Qiuyi is not a talkative person either.

When they are together, the whole world seems to be silent.

Silent, but not awkward at all. Moreover, Ye Si knew that he liked this way of getting along, and he also knew that Lin Qiuyi didn't dislike it either.

"Do you think there are more flies or people in this world?"

Are there more flies or people?

Lin Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, but soon, the girl's delicate face regained its coolness.

"There are a lot of flies."

Sure enough, there are still a lot of flies...

"but……"

Um?

Ye Si looked at Lin Qiuyi who stopped with some confusion.

"No matter how many flies there are, they will eventually return to the dark world they should return to. Under the sun, it is always the world of humans."

Those are a pair of quiet, beautiful and deep eyes that seem to be able to see through everything...

And this is also his favorite...

"I see."

After seeing Liu Xiang today, Ye Si, who had been frowning, finally relaxed his brows.

The flies will eventually disperse, and this is still a human world.

The sacrifice will be temporarily obscured by flies from the dark world, but in the future, the clouds will definitely be lifted to reveal the light.

Seeing the smile on Ye Si's face now, Lin Qiuyi felt relieved.

"Lin Qiuyi..."

"Um?"

"Thanks."

Looking at her hands that were suddenly held, Lin Qiuyi was stunned. Soon, her beautiful face began to turn red little by little.

"Xiaoyao, did Xiao Si bully you again today?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I, I just feel that I am really useless and I can't always help Ye Si."

Mother Tang felt very sorry to see her daughter holding a cute pillow on the bed with a sad look on her face.

Xiaoyao is good at everything, she is beautiful, has a cheerful personality, is filial to her elders and is popular, can do all the housework and has a good figure. She is definitely the perfect daughter-in-law candidate in the eyes of her elders.

This is the IQ...

Okay, it is indeed wrong for a mother to complain about her daughter's IQ, but it is true.

Her precious daughter is really suitable to be a wife, but she is definitely not suitable to be a confidante!

At this point, Xiaoqiu is completely different...

As someone who has experienced this, Tang's mother knows that her daughter's future seems a bit worrying.

After Ye Si returned to China, his life was very, very busy, even busier than when he was in the United States.

In the United States, he doesn't need to meet so many people, and he doesn't need to waste so much time on meaningless things.

When he returned to China on July 10, Ye Si's weight was 95 kilograms. On July 1, Ye Si's weight was 97 kilograms. Ye Si returned to China on July 8, U.S. time, that is to say, In one week, in the United States, Yes lost 2 kilograms.

Back in China, this week, by July 17, when Ye Si was preparing to go to West Lake to report for the national team, Ye Si's weight was 94 kilograms.

I only lost one kilogram in a week.

Although this has something to do with losing weight and entering the deep water zone, Ye Si feels that it has more to do with his constant visits to guests this week and the love of Ye’s mother!

Now Ye Si understands that the biggest opponent of losing weight is not his own laziness, but his mother's love...

Ye Si felt that in the mind of Ye's mother, she could be given two choices. Let her choose between the bamboo-like Ye Si and the round and round Ye Si. She would definitely choose the round form of Ye Si.

Fortunately, Ye Si, who had been surrounded by his mother's love for a week, finally said goodbye to Shanghai with a feeling of relief and reluctance...

On July 17, 2008, outside the West Lake Huanglong Stadium was definitely the busiest place in West Lake City.

"Are you sure we can see Yes today?"

"Confirm, 100% sure. You can buy these tickets with confidence. Three thousand yuan a piece is already very cheap. If you wait until the evening, when the news comes that Ye Si is confirmed to play, these tickets will not be this." price."

"Damn it, you scalpers are so shady!"

"Haha, you can't say that. Without scalpers like us, are you sure you can buy tickets for Ye Si's game?"

"..."

"With us scalpers, you can watch Ye Si's game live if you have money. Without us scalpers, the people who can watch Ye Si's game are not just rich."

"..."

"I'll give you a minute to think about it. Do you want to buy it or not?"

"Damn it, a stinky scalper keeps saying, why don't I buy it? I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money. It was just demolished, so I'm not short of money!"

"One last question, will Ye Si really play today?"

"Of course, he is already in West Lake, in the West Lake Huanglong Stadium."

Inside the Huanglong Gymnasium, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team, led by Yao Ming, are all standing facing the door of the locker room.

The look on everyone's face was exciting and excited.

When the locker room door opened, there was a boom!

Ye Si was startled by what he saw.

Pies, ribbons, fireworks, cheers and shouts, all the enthusiasm rushed towards him.

"champion!"

"champion!"

"champion!"

champion? !

Ye Si was stunned for a moment.

"Did you hear our cheers clearly?"

Looking at the excited and smiling Yao Ming in front of him, Ye Si recovered from his daze and nodded with a smile.

"Listen clearly."

"Is it your dream too?"

"yes."

"Is it out of reach?"

Ye Si looked around at every expectant face, and finally shook his head seriously.

"no."

Ye Si's answer was firm, and Yao Ming's face was very satisfied.

"Little Ye Zi, welcome back to the team!"
