Chapter 283: Who is the hero

August, Greece, Santorini.
This little Plato "land of freedom", the buildings are blue and white, lined with the blue Aegean Sea, the blue is so clear, the white is so pure, here is the blue and white paradise, beautiful.
Here, you can be a poet, a painter, the happiest princess and prince, or a singer~
On a large rock, a group of shirtless and dark-skinned men are facing the blue Aegean Sea, their hands stretched out and singing loudly.
"The sky is late~ the moon is like the beginning~
Thousands of miles of rivers ~ let me fly~
...
Exhausted blood~Destroy dust and dirt~
Just to blog you, take a glimpse~
Whoever belongs to the hero is none other than me~"
The mighty momentum made people couldn't help but the blood soared, and the blue Aegean Sea was shocked by waves.
...
The Chinese National Basketball Team has arrived in Athens to prepare for the upcoming World Championships in Greece.
In this World Championship, the head coach is Bayi team coach Wang Fei.
Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Liu Yudong, Wang Dazhi, Fan Bin, Zhang Jinsong, Bart, Sun Jun, Gong Xiaobin, Yao Liang, Zhang Wenqi.
Basically the old team of the Asian Championships last year, of course, there are also new faces. Captain Zhang Wenqi and rising star Yao Liang of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks.
In the past few days, everyone trains during the day and has theory classes at night to watch some videos of opponents.
In their spare time, everyone watched VCD TV series together.
What everyone likes the most is "Tai Chi Master", which is now normalizing in China.
Today’s training is over, and when we get to the beach, everyone can’t help but sing.
...
"Oh roar!"
"what!"
A group of people yelled at various monsters in the sea. Obviously, they really like such a preparation environment.
On the side, Wang Dazhi suddenly pulled Yao Liang's jersey.
"Xiao Yao, why don't you take off your jersey? Are you not hot?"
Yao Liang glanced at Wang Dazhi's slightly raised abdominal muscles, and shook his hand quickly, "No more, I'm not hot."
Yao Liang didn't want everyone to see his entire abdominal muscles, or even the ribs that appeared when he raised his hand.
Not far away, teammate Zhang Wenqi also greeted: "Xiao Yao, swim, go?"
Yao Liang refused, "Uh, you go, I just watch you play."
These days, Yao Liang has a little low self-esteem. Of course, not because of the abdominal muscles. But because he saw the gap with these guys.
These guys are really abnormal in training, and those two NBAs have come back even more, especially Li Nan.
It's like running on the beach. When everyone else couldn't move, that guy just gasped.
On the other side, Li Nan is swimming with Liu Yudong.
"Aren't they tired?"
Yao Liang was lying on a soft beach with his head resting on his hands, looking at a blue sky.
While Yao Liang was looking at the sky and dreaming, Li Nan called his teammates in the distance.
"Dayao can't do this, we have to help him. We are like this..."
Yao Liang was thinking that starting from tomorrow, he would increase his training volume and develop his abdominal muscles. When he wanted to, suddenly something wet caught his feet.
"what!"
Yao Liang only had time to scream, and his hands were instantly subdued.
"Hey, hello, hello, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Looking around, Yao Liang saw the smirking guy below. Seeing the direction they were taking, he also knew his next destiny.
"Help, help, guide Wang, help!"
Yao Liang struggled a little, and the people below smiled happily.
"Xiao Yao, this is your brother's love for you."
"Young people joining the national team have to pass this level."
"Xiao Yao, just accept your fate."
"Ahahahaha~~"
Each of them was making up, but their actions were very cheerful.
"Hey~hey~hey~"
Everyone held Yao Liang high and walked into the sea, then,
"1, 2, 3! Oh!"
A horizontal throwing movement.
"Puff~~"
Others plopped in the water and splashed some water. Yao Liang's water was "poof~" and a wave was directly generated.
...
While the Chinese team is working hard to prepare for the battle, the United States across the ocean is not very peaceful.
On August 6, the NBA's labor and management reopened negotiations, but they failed to reach an agreement.
The closure continues, the lockout continues, many players' contract issues are still pending, and some people have begun to make new plans.
The players' union has discussed it and used a strike to boycott the capital.
The American Basketball Association is not happy.
All NBA stars rejected the recruitment of the national team. Who will go to the World Championships at the end of that month?
"The Basketball Association is not an NBA league. These guys have no sense of national honor!"
The Basketball Association criticized these NBA stars, but in the end they had no choice but to choose low-level league players.
After the training camp, they finally determined the list of the Twelve People's Congress:
Center:
Amaya Idaho, Mustang (NBDL Alliance);
forward:
Alexis Alba, Berlin (Germany),
Edwards, Rome (Italy),
Gerard King, Siena (Italy),
Sassel Suffers, Air Power (NBDL Alliance),
David Wood, Rockford Lightning (CBA League);
Defender:
Kravis, Michigan State University,
Langdon, Duke University,
Garys, Super Fast Basket (CBA League),
Jimmy Kimquaid, Thunder (CBA League),
Olivier, Recreativo (Spain),
Hawkins, Olympiacos (Greece).
In this list, all players in the lower leagues. There are college students, NBDL league team players, CBA league players, and many Americans who play in Europe.
However, even so, many people still think that the US team is the favorite.
"There are so many people in the United States who can play basketball. Send some out. The champions are ours!"
"American basketball leads the world by one level!"
"There is no need for NBA stars to play, the championship is still in our pocket."
...
The draw for the World Championships competition came out soon.
16 teams, divided into ABCD4 groups. The group stage will play 3 rounds, and the top 3 will advance to the rematch.
Semi-finals: Group E: A-C, Group F: B-D, a group of 6 teams. Play a single loop again, and those who have been played in the group stage will not be played and will be directly counted as a record. Finally, the top 4 of the two groups will be selected.
After the elimination rounds, cross over until the final winner is decided.
The grouping situation is as follows:
Group A: United States, Lithuania, Spain, Brazil,
Group B: Yugoslavia, Russia, Australia, Canada,
Group C: Greece, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Algeria,
Group D: Italy, Germany, China, Croatia
...
Many European media professionals also ranked the participating teams.
1. The American team,
2. Yugoslavia ~EbookFREE.me~Lithuania,
4-8 are: Spain, Russia, Italy, Greece, Australia,
9-16: Argentina, Canada, Germany, Puerto Rico, Brazil, China, Croatia, Algeria,
Without NBA star players, the US team is still recognized as the strongest team in the world.
Yugoslavia lacks NBA players like Divac, but has the European MVP Bodi Loga. They are still the world's top teams.
The Lithuanian team veteran Sabonis did not participate, but the European star Aturas Arturas-Karnisovas made everyone very optimistic.
There are so many NBA players in Canada, but one has not come, and their rankings are also low.
The European media's prediction of the Asian team's Chinese team is only 14th.
