NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 10
In Cologne, Germany, the Dream Team plane has just landed.

Stretching his waist, Li was the first to get off the plane, followed by Anthony with a bag around his neck. The bags of Iverson and Marbury naturally fell on Wade and James.

"A lot of reporters." Li Zheng sighed wearing sunglasses, "It's a pity that I didn't interview you." Anthony behind him said strangely, but before he finished speaking, a blond woman in a suit walked up to Li Zheng's before.

"Hello, I'm Bild's reporter, Lisa." The woman showed a decent smile, and naturally approached Li Zheng's direction, "As the first Chinese player selected for the Dream Team, how do you feel now? "

She is so good
Li Zheng took off his sunglasses calmly, and talked to the blonde beauty, "Well, it's a kind of responsibility and inheritance. Although it is very heavy, I have the confidence to carry forward the charm of basketball on the Olympic stage."

Anthony's teeth were about to gnaw into pieces, but Li Zheng's satchel was still around his neck. If he turned around and left now, he wondered how Li Zheng could figure out how to torment him, so he could only watch this couple talking and laughing here. , and the closer the body got closer, the woman's eyes seemed to become more and more affectionate.

"Congratulations on becoming a member of the dream team, I wish you good results this year." Li Zheng gently held Lisa's soft hand, "Thank you."

Lisa wiped her lips lightly, and whispered into Li Zheng's ear when she put away the microphone, "This is my number." The note slipped into the empty pocket of Li Zheng's coat, but Li Zheng Turning around and leaving without hesitation, as if she didn't hear Lisa's whisper, it was obvious that she was not beautiful enough to reach 30 physical strength.

"Hey, let's go, what are you looking at?" Li Zheng shouted to Anthony who was standing there dumbfounded.

"It's over? Is it over?" Anthony was still wondering whether he should speak ill of Li Zheng in the media when he interviewed him, but found that the reporter from Bild had quietly left, which made his heart hurt even more.

"What? You still want someone to invite you to dinner?" Li Zheng said angrily. There are the most reporters and cameras beside Iverson, but compared to the long guns and short guns in the United States, they are still sparse.

Other players were only interviewed by a few media reporters, and some even had no interviews at all. They could only walk around in the hope of attracting some people to interview. This team is just like the evaluation of the American media. dream team.

Li Zheng and Anthony boarded the bus ahead of time, and being interviewed by the media was a laborious task, especially Li Zheng had no feelings for this team but only sympathized with him. Everything about this team could not impress him. Li Zheng felt that To the long-lost mental exhaustion.

Ever since he started playing basketball, his life has become extremely fulfilling. Roy and the others should have started training. That guy won't be lazy during the offseason. Li Zheng took out his phone and hesitated for a long time before putting it down. Sometimes calling him would be considered showing off.

But he still wants to talk to someone.
confused?Lost?Sad, he misses the days of the University of Washington more than the glamorous dream team, not only the invincible crushing record, but the teammates who can rely on and trust by his side to play carefree and work together for the same goal , Although there were differences and quarrels, they were finally resolved in a man's way. The University of Washington is more like a team.

I would like to thank Roy, if not for him, I would still be that egomaniac, because he awakened my love and respect for basketball with his ability and attitude; I would like to thank Coach Romar, without him, I would not be here I have grown rapidly in the competition; I also want to thank my father, without him to support my dream, I still have to learn the annoying finance.
The fans of the University of Washington often say that they are lucky to have Lee, but Lee Jung understands that he is the lucky one.

Anthony noticed that Li Zheng next to him was a bit depressed, which was completely unlike his character. Although Li Zheng was the youngest in the team, everyone knew that this yellow-skinned young man was very tough, even if it was Larry Brown who deliberately tried to temper him. He, he never bows his head, and challenges every Dream Six player optimistically and confidently every day. Some people don't like him, but no one thinks he is a softie anymore.

Li Zheng leaned on the car window with his elbows, put his hands on his chin, and looked out the window thoughtfully. His eyes were full of loneliness and confusion. It was the first time Anthony saw Li Zheng's lonely appearance. He took out his digital camera, Aim at Li Zheng and capture this picture.

Under the soft light, Li Zheng's melancholy appearance made Anthony a little sad. Larry Brown abandoned every rookie equally. Wade, who got the most playing time in the 03 generation, only had a mere 6 minutes. The Proud Son of Heaven fully understands Li Zheng's melancholy.

"Is the little boy homesick? Or miss your Chinese food? For my treat, would you like General Tso's Chicken or Strawberry Mapo Tofu?" Anthony said with a grimace.

"...Strawberry Mapo Tofu, these words shouldn't be combined together." Li Zheng came back to his senses, he understood that Anthony wanted to make him happy on purpose, this baby-faced man is not a bad person.

"How about some beer?"

"Athletes quit alcohol, Melo."

"Although I understand this truth, I still feel a little uncomfortable being taught by a person who eats hamburgers and drinks Coke every day."

"My fault, but I heard that the pork knuckle burger tastes good, so let's eat it at night." Li Zheng finally smiled, grabbed the digital camera in Anthony's hand and looked at the photos he took, "How many photos?"

"Stay away from me! I really don't know how you eat those things every day and your body fat is so much lower than mine, bastard."

More than ten minutes later, the other players and staff of the Dream Six team boarded the bus one after another. After counting the number of people, they officially drove to the Cologne Stadium to start a short warm-up activity. The opponent, the Italian national team, but judging from the atmosphere of laughter on the bus, they don't seem to care about this game.

Larry Brown opened his own handbook, hesitantly crossed out Li Zheng's name from the playing list, Li Zheng's playing style was completely inconsistent with his coaching philosophy, he couldn't use such players well, let alone his own students This player is needed more.

Larry Brown has only compromised with Iverson in his life. At the beginning, Li Zheng used his precise shots to attract his attention, but in the game, Li Zheng's passing and shooting always made the old coach's eyes dark. As a college student, Larry Brown has already made plans to only let Lee play when the game is over.

As for the troubles that may be caused by suppressing NCAA players, with Larry Brown's qualifications, as long as the Dream Six can win the championship as they wish, the NCAA will not be too strong.

Even Popovich marveled at Larry Brown's madness, but what this iron-blooded old man never lacks is courage. He has the qualifications and courage to do something. Larry Brown is old, and he has begun to retire for himself Think about it in the future, such as the student named Popovich.

Sitting on the bus, Popovich remembered what Larry Brown said to him before the expedition, "Pop, you have to prepare well for the next Olympics, and don't let this year happen again." Although Popovich still remembered Larry Brown's tone was heavy, but the simple words still made him ecstatic.

This sentence is a promise, his promise to become the head coach of the 08 Olympic Games.

Popovich's move to bring Duncan to this team is a plus in the heart of the old coach. Duncan is also a perfect player in line with the old coach's coaching philosophy. Larry Brown unreservedly supports Popovich as the coach of the 08 dream. As the head coach of the team, his efforts for his teacher have been rewarded and affirmed.

At the same time, this is also a lesson, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Karl Malone, Jermaine O'Neal... Those players who have made great killings in the World Championships, outside and inside have refused to play for various reasons, not just because of the so-called The reason for the terrorist attack is that their mentors and apprentices do not have strong connections in the NBA.

Larry Brown's teachings are very clear. As his student and successor, and the coach of the Dream Team in the 08 Olympics, Popovich must now establish a good relationship with the players in advance. A rookie is the best asset he left for Popovich.
