NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 70 In the international arena, we are opponents

On the way back to the mansion, Kobe suddenly asked, "Lin, are you an American citizen?"

Ok?
When Kobe's words sounded in his ears, Lin Feng was stunned suddenly, but he still replied truthfully: "Yes Kobe, I am an American citizen now, what's wrong?"

"Well." Kobe nodded slightly, "That's no problem, next year's Men's Basketball America's Cup, I would like to invite you to join the Dream Eight team, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, Kobe paused for a moment and continued: "Shit, you should know that in recent years, the world basketball circles have been condemning the decline of our American men's basketball team. Dream Six and Dream Seven were defeated one after another, and we missed the championship!"

"This is a great shame and humiliation in the international arena since the establishment of the Dream Team. I can't just watch this happen. So next year's America's Cup, I decided to participate!"

Lin Feng realized that Kobe was going to participate in the 2007 America's Cup.

Lin Feng is very clear about this. The Dream Six team failed in the semi-finals of the Athens Olympics and lost to Argentina in a humiliating manner.

In the end, it was possible to save a little face, defeating Lithuania 104:96, and only won the bronze medal.

As for the Dream Seven team, the encounter with Waterloo was similar to that of the Dream Six team.

This year's World Championships in Tokyo lost to the grassroots Greek team in the semi-finals. They were slapped wildly in the face and missed the gold medal.

The team of Dream Seven is actually stronger than that of Dream Six.

The Dream Seven team is mainly composed of the 03 golden generation, the most powerful new generation force in the league!

The lineup has LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Melo Anthony, and Dragon King Bosh.

Plus the young Warcraft Howard, Chris Paul, and all-star players like Jamison and Brand.

It can be said to be a match between old, middle-aged and young people, and the configuration is quite reasonable.

Just looking at the roster of players, the Dream Team Seven is not inferior to any other Dream Team.

however--

Such a luxury team lost to the grassroots Greek team?
When the news came back to the United States, the whole world seemed to be collapsing.

The American men's basketball team is invincible. This is the pride that Americans have always boasted.

Meng Liu and Meng Qi fell one after another, and they were slapped in the face in the international arena. Many people can't sit still, including Kobe Bryant.

In 2007 next year, the Dream Eight team will be established, and Kobe will participate, which he has already budgeted for.

Lin Feng was invited because he wanted to lead Lin Feng to achieve results in the international arena, and hope that the American men's basketball team will still have an invincible influence!
Lin Feng thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

Seeing Lin Feng shaking his head, Kobe was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Lin! Are you not going to the international arena?"

"Go!" Lin Feng said.

"Since you're going, why shake your head?"

Kobe was puzzled, he was a little confused.

Lin Feng smiled and said apologetically, "Kobe, I'm sorry, in the international arena, we may not be teammates, but opponents! Even if I participate in international competitions, I will wear the jersey of the Chinese team, not the US team, because the five-star red flag is always engraved in my soul, not the Stars and Stripes."

Kobe: "..."

He was speechless at once. It turned out that Lin Feng refused to join the Dream Eight team because he wanted to wear the Chinese team's jersey?
"Lin, are you kidding me? You are now a citizen of our country, why are you wearing the jersey of the Chinese team?"

"I will find a way to solve this." Lin Feng said, "Actually, I don't want American citizenship, but there is no way. In 2008, it will be the BJ Olympics. On that day, I will definitely change my nationality. I will represent the Chinese team. At that time, we will be rivals, so be careful!"

"Ha ha!"

Kobe was amused by Lin Feng, who was very strong, he admitted.

But isn't it a little too conceited to want to defeat the powerful Dream Eight team with Lin Feng alone?

"Lin, you are too conceited. I admit that you are very strong, but we own the whole Mengba, and you want to beat us all by yourself?"

"You are wrong Kobe, our Chinese men's basketball team is not only me, but also Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Da Da, Du Feng and many other excellent players in our country."

"Oh my god! Since you think so, I can't do anything about it. Then in the 2008 BJ Olympics, let's see the truth."

Kobe no longer forced Lin Feng to be selected for the Dream Eight team. This guy is preparing to be his opponent in the BJ Olympics.

"OK, I see the real chapter under my hand, you have to be ready, our Chinese men's basketball team will not be defeated so easily by you."

Kobe smiled and didn't reply.

He didn't take it seriously, no matter how strong Lin Feng was, he was still alone.

Kobe also recognized Yao Ming's strength.

Kobe didn't care much about the rest.

In terms of overall strength, there is still a big gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Dream Eight team.

Back at the mansion, Natalia and Gigi are all asleep.

Su Muqing was chatting with Vanessa, seeing that it was getting late, Lin Feng was about to leave.

Leaving Kobe's mansion, Lin Feng looked at Su Muqing and said, "Is there any way to get Brother Dayao's phone number?"

"Baby, do you want Yao Ming's phone number?"

"um, yes."

"What do you want Yao Ming's phone number for?"

Su Muqing was quite suspicious.

"Isn't it going to the BJ Olympics soon? I want to change my nationality. I know it will be troublesome to change my Chinese nationality, but Brother Dayao said hello to the domestic basketball association, and then the basketball association came forward to help me change my nationality. It is not difficult."

Lin Feng knew that Marbury, the lone wolf, came to BJ Shougang to play before time travel, and later this guy became a Chinese citizen.

This guy can become a Chinese citizen through the Basketball Association, let alone he is Chinese.

Just tell Yao Ming, let Yao Ming negotiate with the domestic basketball association, saying that he changed his nationality to prepare for the 2008 BJ Olympics, and Yao Ming and the basketball association will definitely agree.

Because Yao Ming is a very responsible person, he is very patriotic. Over the years, Yao Ming can be seen in international arenas, no matter how big or small the battle is.

And he himself has such a explosive performance in the NBA. In the 2008 BJ Olympics, he fought with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu and others. The domestic basketball association and Yao Ming have no reason not to agree.

Su Muqing looked at Lin Feng with a serious expression, and said, "Baby, how about it, you wait a moment, I will return to the company tomorrow morning, and see if I can get Yao Ming's phone number for you."

"Okay, I'm sorry, Mu Qing."

Su Muqing works for ESPN, and ESPN exclusively interviews NBA players.

It should be easy for the company to inquire about Yao Ming's mobile phone number.

The next day, Su Muqing went to the company to help Lin Feng find out Yao Ming's cell phone number.

In the end, Lin Feng was not disappointed. In the afternoon, Su Muqing called and said that he had found Yao Ming's cell phone number through a white reporter.

Looking at the number sent by Su Muqing in the text message, Lin Feng dialed it without hesitation.
