Chapter 170 Olympic Games

For the practice of Wuqinxi, Ying Xiong has never been neglected, whether in China or in the United States.As his birthday got closer, he became more and more excited.You know, Sun Wu had told him before that when he was 20 years old, his body would become stronger again, and he would be able to use hidden attributes without worrying about the previous side effects.

"What kind of hidden attribute is it? Why didn't Grandpa Sun tell me directly?" Ying Xiong was a little confused, but he soon let go.According to Sun Wu, I used the hidden attribute accidentally before, although I don't know how awesome it is, but at that time, my ankle did not hurt so much, and my body seemed to have a latent power, which made me a little uncontrollable at that time. .As for Grandpa Sun not telling himself, he must have his own considerations, maybe there is something unspeakable hidden.What's more, people really have no obligation to tell themselves that they have helped themselves enough.

Regarding Yingxiong's new club, the Bucks, the head coach was changed during the offseason.Milwaukee Bucks coach Larry Chris Kowiak (K), who led the team last season, was fired on April 4.He was replaced by Scott Skiles, the first head coach fired in the NBA in the 18-2007 season.As the head coach, Scott Skiles is famous for his defense and toughness. Everyone is looking forward to the Bucks' defense in the new season.

When Scott Skiles and Ying Xiong met for the first time, Ying Xiong had a feeling that the coach didn't like him.In fact, both Scott Skiles and Ying Xiong joined the team this summer, the difference is only in the time of joining.

It is the job of team general manager John Hammond to select players in the draft.Therefore, as a rookie who was not selected by the head coach, it is not surprising that Ying Xiong did not get his favor.

Ying Xiong is not too worried about the head coach's initial impression of him.He knows that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the NBA and have a stable playing time, it is not enough for the head coach to like him.In the end, we still have to rely on strength to speak.Back then, in my first season in the CBA, I was not appreciated by the foreign head coach John Newman at the time, so I kept wandering around in garbage time.But at that time, I didn't give up on myself, but started from scratch, and then I got the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Ying Xiong's life in Milwaukee is monotonous and regular, basically "two points and one line" - apartment-arena.This kind of life seems boring and monotonous, but he enjoys it very much.He doesn't have any friends here, and he doesn't have any relatives or lovers by his side, so he can devote himself more fully to recovery training.

One day in late July, Ying Xiong returned to the apartment after a day of training.At this time, he received a call.Holding the mobile phone, he looked at the phone number and immediately showed a relaxed smile. After connecting, he smiled and said, "Brother Yao Ming, hello!"

"Hello, Ying Xiong!" Yao Ming's characteristic thick voice, which was particularly distinguishable, "How are you doing in Milwaukee?"

"It's okay, I just resumed training, and I haven't gone out to play much. I don't know any other places except where I live and the arena!" Ying Xiong said with a dry smile.

"I'll get to know you gradually in the future. How is your foot recovering?" Yao Ming asked.

"Thank you Yao Ming for your concern! It's much better. Now the pain is basically gone and the swelling is gone, but I didn't participate in the confrontation training. I plan to go for a review in two days!" Ying Xiong said truthfully.

"Oh, this is the best! I'm in China now, preparing for the Olympics." Yao Ming said.

"I really envy you guys who can compete in the Olympics!" Ying Xiong made no secret of his yearning.

"You will definitely have the opportunity to represent the national team in the future! I am optimistic about you! Hehehe..." Yao Ming said with a smile.

"I will definitely work hard!" Ying Xiong said firmly.

"By the way, Ying Xiong, don't you plan to go back to China to watch the Olympics?" Yao Ming asked.

"Well, I plan to stay in the United States to resume training. But I want to see it in my heart, haha, but firstly, I don't want to affect the resumption of training, and secondly, the tickets for the Olympics are so tight, so I don't want to bother to get tickets!" Ying Xiong said honestly .

"You don't want to watch the opening ceremony, do you?" Yao Ming asked.

"Of course I want to see it! Brother Yao Ming, you may not know that the opening ceremony is still my 20th birthday! It's just that there are no tickets for the opening ceremony!" Ying Xiong's tone of excitement revealed helplessness.

"I'll help you with the tickets, just tell me—do you want to come?" Yao Ming's tone made it hard to refuse.

"Think!" Ying Xiong blurted out.

"Cheer up! Just contact me when you come back!" Yao Ming said.

"Okay, thank you Brother Yao Ming!"

"You're welcome!"

Yao Ming's phone call made Ying Xiong in the United States very excited.You know, being able to watch the Olympic Games live is something that Ying Xiong has always dreamed of.Originally, the Olympics was held at home, but he was not able to be selected for the national team due to injuries, unable to represent the national team in the Olympic Games, and unable to personally participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.This incident made him quite regretful.And Yao Ming's understatement on the phone made his regrets less regrettable.This was indeed a surprise for him.

Ying Xiong immediately told Sun Jing the news.Sun Jing was also very happy after hearing this, saying that she had a chance to meet Ying Xiong in BJ.But she sighed that as a volunteer herself, she might not have the chance to meet Ying Xiong in private.

Ying Xiong said that nothing is perfect, this result is already very good.Imagine being able to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in person at the Bird's Nest, and have the opportunity to meet my girlfriend Sun Jing who is a volunteer. It is already a perfect result.

At the end of July, Ying Xiong explained the affairs of the United States to his agent Bill Duffy, explained the situation to him, and then returned to his motherland.

This time, he went to the United States for more than a month, which made Ying Xiong quite emotional.Seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, the familiar Chinese characters, and the friendly yellow-skinned compatriots, I can't help but feel like a world away, and a sense of national intimacy and pride arises spontaneously.

Everywhere in the country is permeated with the atmosphere of the Olympics.In BJ, there are smiling volunteers everywhere.Seeing these volunteers, Ying Xiong suddenly thought of his girlfriend Sun Jing.When Sun Jing told him that she had been chosen as a volunteer, he was not surprised at all.In his opinion, as long as Sun Jing is willing to be a volunteer, it is almost impossible for the organizer to reject her.With her shy appearance and impeccable figure, it is more than enough to be a star, so it is not a problem to be a volunteer.

Ying Xiong didn't deliberately look for Sun Jing, and didn't want to affect her work.He took care of some personal matters at BJ's just waiting for the Olympics.

On the evening of August 8, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held in the Bird's Nest.This day is also Yingxiong's 8th birthday.How meaningful it is to be able to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games at the Bird's Nest on this special day!When Yao Ming entered the venue holding the national flag, the scene was boiling.This is the pride of the nation, and this is the influence of the Olympics!
Ying Xiong's eyes were moist, he was not a particularly emotional person, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be moved.He silently made a wish in his heart, hoping that he could fulfill it in his lifetime!
The day after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Ying Xiong left BJ and returned to the United States.He didn't see Sun Jing, but to them, this didn't mean anything.Because the hearts of each other are very close, this is enough!
