Chapter 1313 Trip to Italy
The so-called tall man refers to height. Xiao Yao is 1.86 meters tall, even if he is not considered short among Europeans, but at this time the group of people coming out of the elevator is obviously taller than Xiao Yao. Visually, those people are even two meters or even two meters tall. It’s still going up.
“I really met our national team!” Seeing the people coming out of the elevator, Sun Tingting couldn’t help but cried out.
The group of people who came out of the elevator were all black-haired and yellow-skinned Asians. They were wearing complete sets of sportswear and carrying sports bags, especially the national flag on the left chest of the clothes. I have seen the battle at the entrance of the hotel. Even if Sun Tingting doesn’t know him, he knows that these experts are members of China’s national men’s basketball team.
This is Italy, and Sun Tingting said this in Chinese. The men’s basketball players who were walking out of the elevator couldn’t help but look over curiously.
Xiao Yao has won the MVP of three basketball exhibition games. He has taken promotional photos for the men’s and women’s basketball national team members. He has written and sung the theme song for the China Basketball League. At the beginning of this year, the All-Star also guest reporters interviewed the All-Star players. Haruka’s basketball-related news is arguably the most among China’s performing arts stars. To say that the most well-known acting star among Chinese basketball players is definitely Xiao Yao.
When checking in at the front desk just now, both Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting took off their sunglasses. The men’s basketball players didn’t recognize Sun Tingting immediately, but someone immediately recognized Xiao Yao.
“Xiao Yao?!” Someone asked in surprise.
“Hello!” Now that he was recognized, Xiao Yao didn’t squeeze, and smiled and raised his hand to say hello.
It was seven or eight years ago that Xiao Yao took promotional photos for the men’s basketball players. Many of the national men’s basketball players have retired, and even those who have not retired, except Zhou Qi, have basically withdrawn from the national team. And Zhou Qi also withdrew from this year’s national team due to injuries and did not go with the team. Therefore, in this national team, there is no person Xiao Yao is particularly familiar with.
However, most of the members of the national team are also players in the All-Star Game. Xiao Yao participated in this year’s All-Star, and guest reporters interviewed some players and had contact with them, so Xiao Yao and them are not completely strangers.
“It’s you!” A player who was interviewed by Xiao Yao in the All-Star Game at the beginning of the year smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao, shook hands with Xiao Yao and touched his shoulders, then looked at Sun Tingting and said, “This is your girlfriend, right? ?”
“What girlfriend, fiancée, someone proposed to marry me during the Masters!” someone right next to him corrected.
“What fiancée? You don’t read the news or Weibo? Everyone has already obtained the certificate, and now they are a couple!” The other person corrected him again.
“Yes, I am a wife now!” Xiao Yao held Sun Tingting and smiled, “This is my wife!”
“Hello! I am Sun Tingting!” Sun Tingting generously raised her hand and said, “I wish you good results in this competition, and look forward to your honor for the country!”
“Thank you!” said the person who met Xiao Yao, “You have all come to Italy to cheer for us, you must get a good result!”
Speaking of this, he looked at the suitcases they were carrying, and said to Xiao Yao: “You just arrived in Italy? Aren’t you just getting off the plane?”
Before Xiao Yao answered, he heard a familiar voice behind him: “What are you doing? Why are they all stuck in the elevator entrance?”
“Brother Yang, we met Xiao Yao’s young couple. Let’s just have a few words.” The team member who was talking to Xiao Yao looked up and said behind Xiao Yao.
“Brother Yang?” Xiao Yao looked back and found that Chen Yang was standing behind him.
“Xiao Yao?” Chen Yang saw Xiao Yao with a surprised expression on his face.
It turned out that when Xiao Yao was chatting with a few team members just now, another elevator reached the first floor. Out of this elevator are Chen Yang, chairman of the China Basketball Association, and several coaching staff and several other players. When Chen Yang came out and saw a group of people blocking the elevator entrance, he asked questions, but Xiao Yao appeared here to his surprise.
“Duo’er, long time no see!” Chen Yang saw Xiao Yao, but first greeted Sun Tingting next to Xiao Yao.
“Chairman Chen is good!” Sun Tingting said with a smile.
“What chairman?” Chen Yang stared deliberately, “Brother!”
“Chairman Chen, are you leading the team yourself?” Xiao Yao asked aloud.
Chen Yang hugged Xiao Yao and nodded: “Yes! The World Cup is also a heavyweight international event. Now the domestic league is off-season. It doesn’t matter, I will come together!”
“It’s you, why are you also in Italy?” Chen Yang looked at the suitcases of the two of them, and then said, “Is this just here?”
“Just arrived!” Xiao Yao nodded, “Doer and I came to Italy to take wedding photos. My teacher booked this hotel for us, and we just finished the check-in procedure.”
“What a coincidence!” Chen Yang smiled and said again, “Yes, I haven’t congratulated you yet! When I saw you for the first time that year, I thought you two could be a pair!”
“The first time you saw us, we were only five years old!” Xiao Yao pretended to be surprised, “You can feel this? It seems that you can not only play basketball, but also tell fortunes!”
“Go!” Chen Yang took a virtual shot on top of Xiao Yao’s head, “You kid has learned to bury people!”
“That’s right,” Chen Yang said again, “You are here to take wedding photos. Do you have time to watch the game? Do you go to the scene to watch it?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yao nodded. “We basically take pictures during the day. We are free at night and can watch the game. Of course, we also want to go to the scene, but we didn’t book tickets in advance, and now we don’t have tickets on hand. I have already asked me. The teacher asked someone to help us buy tickets, and to see which one can be bought, we will go to the spot to watch which one, and the others will be in the hotel or go to the bar to watch the live broadcast.”
“Don’t bother your teacher!” Chen Yang said, “The organizing committee allocates some tickets to each team for the players’ relatives and friends to watch the game. This time, we are not following many family members of the players in Italy, we There are still tickets left. If you can come, I will give you a ticket. As long as it is our game, you have to see which game is available.”
Although the tickets are mainly for the family members of the players, Xiao Yao is a star. He came to watch the game on the spot, which is beneficial to attracting more domestic audiences to watch the game and increasing the degree of the team. As the president of the Basketball Association, Chen Yang has the right to give Xiao Yao a ticket. This matter itself is also beneficial to the team, and the ticket has a surplus, so he will naturally have no problem doing this.
“Chen Yang, the bus is here!” A middle-aged man wearing a white polo shirt reminded Chen Yang next to him.
“Okay, you greet the players to get in the car first, I’ll come right away!” Chen Yang nodded, confessed, turned to Xiao Yao and said, “We are going to the arena for training, you tell me the room number and come back. I’ll talk to you again!”
“Okay!” Xiao Yao nodded and reported his room number.
After Chen Yang and the players of the national team left, Xiao Yao immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Chen Xuan’s number. He smiled and knew: “Tier, there is no need to buy tickets for us. The ticket issue has already been resolved. Up!”
Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting had no other work arrangements before the wedding. In the past month, they only had to take wedding photos. Therefore, the wedding photo shooting plan that Chen Xuan made for them took a longer time.
Although I have to go to several different cities in Italy to shoot, the whole process is planned to take more than 20 days. Even if the journey to other cities is added, this time is still very generous. During this period of time, not only did the two of them not have to shoot at night, they also had free time, even during the day, not every day.
Since time is relatively ample, and Chen Yang provided tickets for all the matches of the China Men’s Basketball Team, Xiao Yao, after discussing with Sun Tingting and Chen Xuan, decided to adjust the shooting plan and itinerary according to the situation of the China Men’s Basketball Team. , And strive to watch every China Men’s Basketball game in the Men’s Basketball World Cup.
The reason for fighting is that the men’s basketball World Cup held in Italy has a total of eight divisions, which are held in eight cities in Italy. Although the lottery grouping has been completed, what is now determined is the grouping situation of the first stage group stage. Only the three matches of the first stage group stage of the China Men’s Basketball Team will be played in Milan. The number of matches, time and venue afterwards, Even the number of games is still uncertain.
The format of the current Men’s Basketball World Cup is: divide the thirty-two teams that have entered the finals into eight groups for the first stage of the group match. The top two of each group advance to the next round, and the last two teams Then enter the 17th to 32nd qualifying. The 16 teams that advance to the next round will be divided into 4 groups according to the results of the first stage group stage for the second stage group stage. The qualifying teams carry the results of the first round, the top two in the second group stage advance to the quarter-finals, and the second two are ranked 9 to 16 based on the results of the two rounds. The quarter-final teams competed in a cross-elimination system, eventually producing champions to eighth place.
According to the competition system, the top eight teams need to play a total of eight games in this event, while the remaining 24 teams only need to play a total of five games. The number of games is different.
This time the Men’s Basketball World Cup in Italy has a total of eight divisions, that is, a total of eight cities will be played. The eight groups of the first stage of the group stage are divided into eight different cities. The second stage of the group stage and the 17th to 32nd qualifying matches are also divided into these eight different cities, and then the top eight balls. The team’s knockout matches are not held in the same city. The grouping or participating teams in the latter stage are based on the results of the previous stage. The first stage of the group stage has not yet started, and the time and location of the subsequent teams’ competitions naturally cannot be determined.
Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s wedding photography plan is to shoot in five cities in Italy, of which Milan, Florence and Rome are the host cities of the Men’s Basketball World Cup. Alghero on Sardinia and Venice on the mainland are not the host cities of the Men’s Basketball World Cup.
Although there are five competition venues that are not in the shooting schedule of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, Italy has a small land area, with a total area of a little over 300,000 square kilometers, which is about the same as the area of a province in China, with eight cities. The distance is not too far apart, and the transportation is relatively convenient.
The men’s basketball World Cup matches are basically two days for each team. The match time is basically the evening of the local time, and the schedule for the wedding photo shooting plan is relatively loose and has a lot of room for adjustment. The city for the men’s basketball game is not the city planned for the wedding photo shoot. It is not impossible for Xiao Yao to spend most of the day or even a day in another city to watch the game. It is still very promising to watch all the China Men’s Basketball matches live.
Chen Xuan’s photographic level, ability to do things, and influence in the European fashion circle are unquestionable. Chen Xuan is in charge of everything. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting don’t have to worry about anything except taking pictures. It is naturally very easy.
Because of the relatively loose schedule, even if the incident of going to the scene is added temporarily, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting still have a lot of free time, and the two have a lot of time to hang out and play. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting seemed to have had a honeymoon in advance and had a very pleasant time after this trip to take the wedding photos in Italy.
The only thing Xiao Yao feels unpleasant is the performance of the China Men’s Basketball Team in this World Cup. Whether it is the performance in a few games or the final result, it is not very satisfying.
What Xiao Yao watched live is not just the China Men’s Basketball Team.
China Men’s Basketball Team played a total of five games, one game in two days, and it took ten days from the start of the game to the end. Xiao Yao came to Italy three days before the start of the match, and only 13 days have passed since all the matches of the China Men’s Basketball Team were completed. Xiao Yao came to Italy to take wedding photos. The plan is to stay for more than 20 days. The China Men’s Basketball Team will return to China after the game. Xiao Yao cannot return to China and will continue to stay in Italy.
Have already been to the scene to watch five matches, and to stay in Italy again, Xiao Yao later went to the scene to watch two more matches, namely the United States vs. France quarterfinals and the final Spain vs. Argentina finals. For these two games, Chen Xuan helped get the tickets. Chen Xuan still played his role in this regard after he didn’t use Chen Xuan’s help for the tickets for the China Men’s Basketball Team. After watching those two games, Xiao Yao also felt that the performance of the China Men’s Basketball World Cup this time was not satisfactory.
After Spain’s final against Argentina, the World Cup is all over. The top eight teams in the World Cup have to play a total of eight games. It takes 16 days to finish the eight games. The whole World Cup is 16 days. At this time, Xiao Yao had been in Italy for 19 days.
A few days after the end of the Basketball World Cup, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s wedding photos in Italy were all finished.
When I finished shooting the wedding photos in Italy, it was late September. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not return to China, but went directly north from Italy and went to Germany via Switzerland to make the final preparations for their wedding at the place where the wedding was held.
