Chapter 307 A True Promise

The Slovenian team with Dragic and Brezek lost to the host Turkey in the quarter-finals.

中华国队在9月11日2:00面对阿根廷队的比赛中，以85:90遗憾地输给了对手，而在晚间进行的与斯洛文尼亚队的比赛中，以98:82大胜对手。

In the end, the Chinese national team ranked 7th in this World Championships, creating a new ranking record for the World Championships.Argentina ranked 5th, Spain 6th and Slovenia 8th.

All the games of the Chinese team have ended, but they did not leave Turkey immediately, but stayed to watch the semi-finals and finals.For them, it is definitely beneficial to watch the team play at a high level live.

At 9:13 on September 2, the final of this World Championship will be played between the US team and the host team, Turkey.In the end, the US team was even better, winning 30:81 and becoming the champion of this World Championship.

决赛结束后，本届世锦赛的最终排名也出来了，1-8位分别是：1、美国、2、土耳其、3、立陶宛、4、塞尔维亚、5、阿根廷、6、西班牙、7、中华国、8、斯洛文尼亚。

Ying Xiong won the scoring title in this World Championship with an average of 32.5 points per game, and his teammate Yi Jianlian won the rebounding title with an average of 10.2 rebounds per game.As the biggest dark horse in this year's World Championships, the Chinese team pushed the champion US team into a desperate situation. In the end, they were only narrowly defeated, making the whole world remember their strength.

The Chinese national team created a new world championship ranking record in this World Championship, which is also considered to be very fruitful. Although they did not win medals, these achievements were all achieved without Yao Ming.If there is Yao Ming, no one dares to say where the upper limit of this team is.

On September 9th, all soldiers of the Chinese national team returned to BJ by plane.At the airport, a large number of fans came to pick them up.They held national flags in their hands, flowers, and large posters of Ying Xiong and other stars, all of a sudden making the passenger exit of the airport lively.

Ying Xiong and others were also very excited. Although they failed to help the team defeat the American Dream Team, the fans did not blame themselves, but still supported themselves unconditionally. How can this not make people feel heartwarming!
Two days later, after the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the closing meeting, they announced their disbandment.Due to preparations for the Guangzhou Asian Games in November, the team has not been completely disbanded, but it is just a holiday.

Ying Xiong asked the men's basketball team not to participate in the Guangzhou Asian Games because he wanted to prepare for the new NBA season.His request was quickly granted.After last year's Asian Championships and this World Championships, he has become the backbone of the men's basketball team.There will be more important games in the future that require him to contribute, so the men's basketball team also attaches great importance to his request.

On September 9, Ying Xiong and Sun Jing climbed to the top of a mountain.This mountain belongs to the branch of Yanshan Mountain, and few people usually come to climb it, because the mountain road is not easy to walk.

Sun Jing took out a wet wipe and wiped the sweat off Ying Xiong's forehead.The two took out the water bottles in their backpacks and drank water each.

Ying Xiong sighed with a smile: "It's really 'will be the top of the mountain, and look at the mountains and small'!"

Sun Jing muttered: "I've said it all, mountain climbing is fun, but you just don't like it. You always like rivers, lakes, and seas!"

"You're right, I like water better. Isn't there a saying that 'the benevolent enjoy mountains, the wise enjoy water'? If so, I am a wise man, and you are a benevolent man." Ying Xiong said with a smile.

"You are a great scholar!" Sun Jing stuffed a piece of chocolate into Ying Xiong's mouth.

Ying Xiong was eating chocolate, and said to Sun Jing, "I'm going to America in two days."

A trace of sadness flashed in Sun Jing's beautiful eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and she murmured: "It's time to come, it will come, isn't it?"

Ying Xiong stretched out his hand, held Sun Jing's soft little hand in his palm, felt the warmth from her hand, stared at him with expression, and said softly: "Jing, I'm sorry!"

"No, you don't need to say I'm sorry!" Sun Jing shook her head lightly and said, "If you surround me all day long, if you don't pursue your dreams and make progress, I won't be happy either!"

Ying Xiong gently hugged Sun Jing into his arms: "Sometimes I wonder if I am too selfish. In order to pursue my dreams, I have somewhat ignored your feelings. I have also done a good job for your company. Far from enough!"

Tears ran across Sun Jing's cheeks and stayed on her pretty chin.In order to improve herself, Ying Xiong not only did not return to China to accompany him during the season, but also spent very little time with her during the offseason.

However, Sun Jing didn't know that it was not that Ying Xiong didn't want to accompany her, but that he had sacrificed too much in order to become stronger and gain a foothold in the NBA.No one knew his situation better than her.

There are so many people playing basketball in this world, but there are less than 500 NBA players. To stand out among the top 500 players is not something that can be achieved by talent alone.

"Bear, I'm fine. I also have dreams, so I can understand your desire to pursue your dreams. The golden age of an athlete is only a few years, and I don't want you to waste training just to accommodate me. If this is the case, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!" Sun Jing said with a smile.

"Jing, I won't make you sad because of my dream, believe me, for you, I will give up everything I have now!" Ying Xiong said firmly.

Sun Jing gently closed her big eyes, and there were still tiny teardrops on her long eyelashes, making her even more beautiful and moving.

"Of course I believe you. If I don't believe you, I won't go to graduate school. I'll go home and get married early, hmph—" Sun Jing said playfully.

"Jing, wait for me, when the right time comes, I will give up everything in my hand and come back to marry you." Ying Xiong said word by word.

Sun Jing didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Beauty Ying Xiong was in his arms, deeply in love, lowered his head and gently held Sun Jing's small mouth.

Sun Jing responded obediently, and the two of them put all the love in their hearts into this affectionate kiss on the top of the mountain.

……

On September 9, Ying Xiong flew to the United States by plane.

In Dallas, Ying Xiong met Nelson Jr., the general manager of the Mavericks.

Nelson Jr. was very polite to Yingxiong. When we met, he said that the team had announced the implementation of Yingxiong's team option for next season yesterday.

Ying Xiong was not surprised by this news. It would be strange if the Mavericks did not implement their team option!You know, in order to trade for themselves, the Mavericks not only sent a first-round pick, but also compensated the Bucks with some cash.No fool would use the team's positive assets to trade a player he didn't intend to use. If this was the case, the general manager wouldn't have to do it either.
