I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 54 054. Appearing in the Men's Basketball Team (Please recommend)
The news about Chen Long's rookie sneaker contract can't avoid two people, the new NBA star LeBron James and the super rookie Kevin Durant.

Before Chen Long even logged into the NBA, the media had tied him and Kevin Durant in the same position into a rivalry.

Kevin Durant scored 42 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists in the final game of the regular season.

"Who do you think has better shooting ability, yourself or Chen Long?" the reporter asked.

Kevin Durant poked his neck back and said, "Who is Chen Long?"

The reporter was stunned, because Durant clamored to teach Chen Long to be a man in early April, but now he pretends not to know him?
"I don't think there is anything worth bragging about getting a quadruple-double in the NCAA. I can score 40+ in the NBA, can Chen Long do it?" Kevin Durant joked.

The reporter thought to himself, why did you say you didn't know Chen Long just now and started to speak harshly again?

Durant then said to himself, "If Chen Long can score 40+ in his rookie season, then I will eat his shoelaces. If not, I advise him to go back to China!"

The reporter was secretly refreshed, because Durant's words could detonate public opinion again.

"I don't know what to brag about Durant who led the team to 20 wins and 62 losses, 40+, right? I think he can learn how to eat shoelaces while fishing." Chen Long said in his sneaker contract During the signing ceremony, Du Erguan was taunted crazily.

Kevin Durant angrily shut down his social accounts with few fans at all.

March Madness and Passionate April have passed one after another.

At the beginning of May, Chen Long received a cross-ocean call from Lao Bai (pseudonym), the team leader of the men's basketball team.

"Xiao Chen, I know that you are going back to China with the Tigers to play a warm-up match with the national men's basketball team. I don't think you should play for the Tigers." Old Baiyu said earnestly.

"I don't understand what you mean." "It's very simple, you should go back to China early, first come to the Imperial Capital for closed training with the men's basketball team."

Chen Long was taken aback, and then replied, "If I don't play, there is a high probability that Derrick Rose, CD Roberts, Joey Dorsey and others will not play."

"If you don't play, you don't play. The quality of the warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team must be high and the results should be good. It is not easy to achieve this balance."

"This is the Olympic Games at our doorstep, the focus of the world's attention, and there is no room for loss from the warm-up match."

Lao Bai was afraid that Chen Long wouldn't understand, so he broke it apart and explained it again.

Chen Long finally understands, co-author Lao Bai just doesn't want the men's basketball team to lose against the Tigers with the full lineup.

"The head coach of the men's basketball team, Jonas, also hopes that you can return to China with Yao Ming to participate in the warm-up match."

"I see." Chen Long had no reason to refuse.

Before hanging up the phone, Chen Long asked curiously again, "By the way, the person who helped me contact the NCAA executives before was..."

Lao Bai only said that he was someone from above, and then told Chen Long not to think about it, and just concentrate on helping the country make a good Olympic Games.

Knowing that Chen Long was going to return to China early, John Cariapa was quite upset, but there was nothing he could do.

Chen Long did not play, and Derrick Rose, CD Roberts, Joey Dorsey and Antonio Anderson all withdrew from the Tigers' visiting lineup.

In mid-May, Chen Long and Dayao flew directly to Shanghai in a low-key manner.

In this life, Chen Long's parents specially rushed to Shanghai to pick him up, and the two of them formed a group of relatives and friends with Yao Ming's wife Ye Li.

Without reporters and cameras, Dayao felt much more at ease.

"Aaron, you will miss this kind of pure time in the future." Yao Ming said as he pushed the luggage cart.

"Are you really good?" Chen Long knew that Yao Ming's injury should have recuperated until July, but in order to get in the best condition with the men's basketball team, he had to come back early to play the warm-up match.

"A man can't say no!"

Just as Dayao was about to laugh out loud, Chen Long reminded him again, "I think Sister Ye Li should prefer you when you don't laugh."

Seeing his lover Ye Li, Yao Ming immediately smiled knowingly.

"Aaron, I've already made an agreement with my uncle and aunt, and we'll have dinner at our house later." Ye Li, who is 1 meters tall, looks like a husband and wife with Yao Ming, with a friendly and gentle smile.

"Then trouble sister-in-law."

Chen Long thanked Ye Li, and turned to look at his parents in this life. After a brief silence, Chen Long embraced them with open arms, and said, "I'm back."

Mom wiped her tears excitedly.

Dad raised his head proudly, because Chen Long's current achievements cannot be separated from his wise decision a year ago.

A week later, Chen Long and Yao Ming showed up at the Capital Airport.

This time, the leader and new hope of the Chinese men's basketball team became the focus of the media.

CCTV basketball commentator Lao Zhang first interviewed Yao Ming.

Zhang Lili opened his mouth and boasted about Yao Ming's performance this season and the Rockets' crazy winning streak. He deliberately avoided the topic of injuries. In short, he gave a signal to the fans that Yao Ming is in a very good state.

Lao Zhang handed the microphone to Chen Long again.

Looking at this relatively unfamiliar young man, Lao Zhang put his arms around Chen Long's shoulders, and asked with an excited expression, "Aaron, are you ready?"

"From the moment I decided to play professional basketball, I was ready to play for my country, yes, I was ready." Chen Long replied in a deep voice.

"Aaron, I know you performed amazingly in the NCAA, especially the quadruple-double in the finals, No.1 in history, how did you do it?"

"Because I have the best team in the NCAA, and my teammates and coaches have given me great help. Without the team, I would not be able to achieve a quadruple-double." Chen Long said with a smile.

Lao Zhang nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the young man has such an emotional intelligence at a young age, coupled with his basketball talent, his starting point is higher than that of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, as long as he avoids injuries, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the NBA.

The scene of Chen Long giving a thumbs up to the camera and yelling at the men's basketball team to cheer was even included in the news broadcast that night to support the Olympics.

Yi Jianlian, who arrived in the Imperial Capital one day earlier, deliberately waited for Yao Ming and Chen Long, and the three went to the closed training camp of the men's basketball team to report.

So far, the last three pieces of the jigsaw puzzle for the Chinese men's basketball team to prepare for the Olympics have returned, and the 12 members of the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history have officially assembled——

Two insiders: Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi
Two power forwards: Yi Jianlian and Du Feng

Three small forwards: Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Chen Long

Two shooting guards: Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng
Three point guards: Liu Wei, Zhang Qingpeng, Chen Jianghua
Because of the birth of the billion-dollar boy Chen Long, the task of the Chinese Basketball Association for the men's basketball team has changed from the initial fight for the quarter-finals to the goal of keeping eight and competing for four!
Soon, the pressure of domestic public opinion shifted from Yao Ming and Jonas to Chen Long, who made his debut in the domestic arena.

Whether Chen Long can replace Wang Lei, who is famous in the CBA, the allocation of playing time between Chen Long, Li Nan and Zhu Ba, whether Chen Long can adapt to the rules and rhythm of the international arena, etc. are rapidly fermenting on the Internet...

Ten days later, the first warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team started on time, and the opponent was Chen Long's NCAA championship team, the Memphis Tigers.

For the first time, Chen Long, who officially appeared in front of the fans wearing the No. 24 jersey of Guozi, became the focus of the audience!

"It's finally time to test Aaron's quality!" Su Qun, one of the game commentators, said excitedly.
