It's the god of death

Chapter 222 223 Let the national anthem ring in Athens because of me!

Hearing Jordan's feigned joy on the phone, the corners of Ye Ying's mouth twitched violently.

Ye Ying has a lot of acquaintances, but there are really not many who may change teams this offseason.

Well, anyway, it shouldn't be a particularly strong acquaintance.

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Ye Ying's expectant voice, Jordan didn't hold back anymore, and said excitedly,
"Michael, Michael Olowokandi!
Hey, I didn't expect it!
Someone will accompany you in the future. "

"Huh? Really?"

Ye Ying was really surprised.

Originally, he thought he had to work hard alone in the new season, but he didn't expect the Timberwolves to send Olowokandi here so thoughtfully?

"Of course it is true. It is said that the Timberwolves are very satisfied with the second place in the new division. They plan to train him vigorously in the new season, and then Olowokandi was put on the shelf."

Ye Ying nodded in understanding, then hummed.

This makes sense.

Ye Ying, who fought against Okafor, knew the strength of that big guy very well, and he really deserved such treatment.

It's just that Olowokandi, who has just won the membership card of a nightclub in Minnesota, is about to change his family. I think he is a little reluctant, right?
However, all this is really up to him.

However, from another point of view, it is not a bad thing for this Michael brother to come to Charlotte.

At least, it's better to merge with yourself than wandering to other teams.

And I can indeed start to cover people up.

……

At the beginning of August, Ye Ying and his national team teammates flew to Athens contentedly after another undefeated record at the International Invitational Tournament in Belgrade.

The complete victory in the warm-up match not only gave the fans, but also the men's basketball players great confidence.

It turns out that we can be so strong!

But after arriving in Athens, Ye Ying and his teammates were a little dumbfounded.

Because they received instructions from their leaders in advance,

"Ahem, the Greek side had some financial problems during the preparation process, so if there is any special situation, please overcome it.

Then what hardship and simplicity are the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation! "

At first, Ye Ying and his friends thought that the leader was planning for a rainy day, but later they found out that they were wrong, because the leader is too real.

While they were preparing for the battle, the surrounding area of ​​the main venue of the Athens Olympic Games was still under construction...

This made Ye Ying and his teammates in the national team worry that the Olympics would not be able to be held.

Even if it is done, how many troubles will there be?
Ye Ying made a special effort to find out about this, and it turned out that hosting the Olympic Games now is really "burning money".

And the Greeks themselves did not expect that with their national strength, they would be somewhat powerless.

It's embarrassing to ride a horse.

Sensing that the organizer of this Olympic Games might stretch his hips, Ye Ying didn't want them and fellow Olympic athletes to pay for the problem of the Athens organizer, so he immediately contacted his agent Schwartz and asked him to prepare some emergency measures .

After Schwartz received Ye Ying's notice, he immediately reassured Ye Ying that it was enough to prepare for the game, and he would take care of everything else.

During this period of time, the skyrocketing value of Ye Ying brought Schwartz huge income and fame, so Schwartz's focus has already shifted from Bosh to Ye Ying.

Also, Schwartz would not let go of this opportunity to make Ye Ying miss his favor.

At the same time, Schwartz also has business connections in Europe, and these are trivial matters for him.

Dayao and the others thought Ye Ying was making a big fuss at first, but they were all dumbfounded when they arrived at the Olympic Village.

Although they lived in single-family apartments with all kinds of facilities, Dayao and the others were a little skeptical of life when they saw the yellow dirt road on the road.

The leader really did not lie to us, it really is hard and simple!

Ye Ying frowned when he saw the uneven road. Surely this road won't affect the athletes' performance?
Then, looking at the food and accommodation environment in Athens, Ye Ying found more and more problems, so he had to write them down first.

In the past, he could only sit in front of the TV and watch those Olympic athletes fight hard. This time, Ye Ying will feel more at ease if he can help them in some aspects within his ability.

So, after discussing with his mother and communicating with Schwartz in real time, Ye Ying started his "Save Athens" plan.

……

When implementing the "Save Athens" plan, Ye Ying did not forget to prepare well.

However, with the experience of the previous warm-up match, Ye Ying and his teammates are very confident in qualifying for the group.

Although they have Argentina, Spain, and Italy in their group, there are three European and American strong teams, but they also have two underdogs, New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegro.

The last two teams cannot be said to be weak. Anyway, the current Chinese team members feel that it is no problem to beat them.

Cough cough, the joining of Ye Ying and Dayao made everyone full of confidence!

In fact, not only the men's basketball players, the media also commented:
"Ye Ying's joining has greatly improved the strength of our men's basketball team, and our team's qualification is not a big problem.

Even, we are very likely to achieve a historic breakthrough in this Olympic Games! "

Well, the eighth best record in the previous Olympic Games can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Chinese people.

Closer to home, while Ye Ying was actively preparing for the battle, his "Save Athens" plan was being implemented in an orderly manner.

First of all, Schwartz took the lead in contacting the Chinatown speaker in Athens and the Chinese team leader of this Olympic Games.

With Schwartz's communication in advance, the Chinatown spokesperson said that Athens has a lot of shortcomings in this Olympics, and he will do his best to help the Chinese Olympic athletes maintain a good competitive state so that they can compete in this Olympic Games. Played better in the Olympic Games.

When the Chinese Olympic team leader heard this, it was a good thing, and he immediately agreed.

However, he also kept an eye on it, and had special personnel inspect all the delivered supplies.

The competition is approaching, so you can't be too careful.

Then the team leader discovered that the people were really a group of patriots.

Great!
Then, when they went to training the next day, all the Chinese athletes except Ye Ying were surprised.

Because their travel vehicle has become a luxury bus with excellent shock absorption effect, there is no bump along the way.

Then each Olympic athlete was also distributed valuable sleep aids such as eye masks, earmuffs, luxury pillows, and even the food became significantly fresher and more delicious.

In this regard, Ye Ying silently hid his credit and fame.

He did all this because he sincerely hoped that these Olympic athletes in the motherland could give full play and achieve better results, not for show.

At this time, Dayao, who witnessed the whole process from behind, couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

In his opinion, Ye Ying's mother's plan is really perfect.

If these things are done in the name of Ye Ying, on the one hand, it will slap the Olympic team leader in the face, and on the other hand, it will not look good on the country.

But now, if overseas Chinese provide help, they can strengthen their ties with the country without losing the country's face too much.

The most important thing is to get things done and serve multiple purposes.

As a result, the fact that Ye Ying contributed behind the scenes was inadvertently revealed by a loyal and honest little giant who did not disclose his name, and spread among the athletes who came to participate in the Athens Olympic Games this time.

Afterwards, the room of Ye Ying and Dayao became the check-in place for many Olympic athletes.

'Diving Queen' Guo Jingjing and 'Diving Prince' Tian Liang;
Wang Nan, the second-generation "big devil" of Nvping and Zhang Yining, the third-generation "big devil";

male table tennis player Ma Lin;

Dayao's Shanghai fellow, Liu Xiang who participated in the 110-meter hurdles;
women's volleyball team;

The room of Ye Ying and Dayao was filled with joy and laughter.

……

On the morning of August 8, Dayao smiled at Ye Ying after answering a phone call. Ye Ying, who was studying the opponent's tactics, was terrified.

"Brother Yao, what's wrong?
Don't scare me. "

Dayao shook his phone triumphantly, "The flag bearer for tonight's opening ceremony has finally been determined."

Ye Ying smiled and gave Dayao a thumbs up.

I heard before that Dayao was determined to be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony - it has always been a tradition that the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games is held by the Chinese men's basketball player.

Coupled with Dayao's influence in the world, it is completely well deserved.

Ye Ying was very envious, but not bitter at all.

Well, billions of points are not sour.

Unexpectedly, Dayao shook his head suddenly, "It's not me, it's you."

"how is this possible?"

Ye Ying couldn't help being surprised.

Although his current international popularity and influence may not be inferior to that of Dayao, and he is even better in the United States, but compared to Dayao with a positive image, Ye Ying has a lot of controversy.

When he was in China, he beat up his teammates angrily and was blacklisted by the Basketball Association;

In the NBA, Payton, the "King of Trash Talk", was in a state of confusion and elbowed by the way.

Then in the Palace of Auburn Hills, he will roar at Tianzun's elbow bleeding, beat Artest violently, and "threat" the referee in front of the technical stage...

Although Ye Ying has a great record in the NBA, he is famous and notorious in the world at the same time. It is indeed a bit inconsistent with China's usual image of humility, courtesy, honesty and generosity.

Cough cough, Ye Ying still has some B numbers for these things.

But he didn't regret any of it.

Once again, he would still make the same choice.

Hearing Ye Ying's question, Dayao laughed badly,
"Hey, why is that impossible.

It was I who said that I would hand over this opportunity to be the standard bearer to you. "

Seeing the emotion in Ye Ying's eyes, Dayao quickly waved his hand,

"Don't thank me in a hurry, in fact, I also have selfish intentions."

Seeing a hint of doubt in Ye Ying's eyes, Dayao said frankly:
"This time the opportunity to carry the flag is given to you. After four years, you can't compete with me!"

Ye Ying couldn't help giving Dayao a blank look,
"No problem, your abacus is far-reaching enough!"

Who would have thought that Dayao would already be thinking about his position as the flag bearer for the Olympic Games in the imperial capital four years later?

Ye Ying has to admire Dayao's move for giving up small profits to seek further success.

But Ye Ying really had nothing to say about Dayao's frank arrangement.

In fact, Dayao really became selfish. He carried the flag in the two Olympic Games and no one can say anything.

Then Ye Ying's dormitory became a check-in point again, and Ye Ying also accepted the congratulations from all the Olympic athletes with a smile.

To be honest, being able to serve as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony was something Ye Ying never dreamed of!

……

On the evening of the 13th, the much-anticipated Athens Olympic Games slowly opened her mysterious veil.

Fortunately for Ye Ying, although there were many rumors before the game, the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games did not stretch his hips at all, and could even be described as beautiful.

Especially Ye Ying, who was on the scene, was really shocked.

The opening ceremony of the night lasted about three hours and consisted of the opening performance, the interpretation of Greek mythology, the entrance ceremony of the athletes, and the lighting of the Olympic flame on the main torch platform.

The theme of the opening ceremony was "After 108 years, the Olympic Games return to their hometown", and the opening ceremony also counted down from 28, which indicated the countdown to the 28th Olympic Games.

As the lights in the venue gradually faded, hundreds of drummers beat the sky-shattering drums to the melodious Greek music.

The countdown from 28 to 1 on the main screen also flashed back some classic scenes of the 28th Olympic Games. Tens of thousands of spectators applauded rhythmically with the sound of drums, and the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games officially began.

The most distinctive feature of this Athens Olympic Games is that the ground of the main Olympic venue is covered with water, which symbolizes the Aegean Sea that nurtured the famous Greek nation.

Tonight's various ceremonies are also carried out in the 'sea'.

The whole world was shocked by the elegance and romance of the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.

As the players entered the field, Ye Ying couldn't help becoming nervous.

Taking a few deep breaths, Ye Ying's expression began to calm down as he recalled the muscle memory he had practiced in advance in the afternoon.

"I can, I can."

I don't know how long he waited, but Ye Ying immediately showed the most standard smile when he was reminded that he was about to enter the arena.

Next, he will present China's image in front of the whole world, and there is no room for loss!
After the Kenyan delegation, Ye Ying smiled under the reminder of the staff, walked confidently, wore the "white sugar tomato" color matching uniform, held high the flag that symbolized the majestic China, and stepped into the main Olympic venue in Athens .

"Dear audience, here is the Chinese sports delegation. This is the fifth Summer Olympics we have participated in since 1984."

Zhuang TV's commentator couldn't help but raise his voice and said excitedly.

For a while in front of the TV, there were bursts of cheers in front of countless TVs in the land of China who waited until four o'clock in the morning.

Our Olympic athletes are here!
"The flag bearer of the Chinese delegation today is the famous basketball player Ye Ying."

"As the MVP of the NBA Finals, Ye Ying has created many miracles in the NBA this year. I hope he can also bring good luck to our Olympic athletes."

At the scene, Ye Ying was tall and straight, and the banner in his hand fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, Ye Ying felt a shudder—it was the confidence, excitement and glory that came from his bones.

If Ye Ying said before that standing on the Olympic podium was just a goal, now it has become something he must accomplish.

Even, he went crazy again.

Why, can't the national anthem be played because he was in Athens?
At this moment, in the eyes of the 210 members of the Chinese delegation, Ye Ying, the leader of the team, seemed to have suddenly become extremely tall for some reason.
