One Guard - Chapter 344
Chapter 349 : Assembly is complete
A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! When Wen Xue saw his son Yiyang coming home, the young mother was shocked. Although he had only been away for more than a month, Yiyang was clearly stronger. After playing in the NBA for more than a season, Yiyang did not practice less. But the physical changes were not as much as the one month under Brickley’s banner.
This is the benefit of systematic training, which is why players always like to train crazy in the summer. When a player single-mindedly only needs to worry about training, his progress will be many times faster than usual. In addition, Yiyang himself is very hardworking and has changed tremendously, which is in fact a matter of reason.
“So when I called, I said that I don’t have to worry about my food and accommodation there. You see, can I grow so much meat if I don’t eat well?” Yiyang said, bulging Wenxue’s muscles. , Which made the O’Brien Cup tattooed on the inside of his arm clearly visible.
“Are you sure we will leave for China tomorrow? But, you just came back.” Although Wen Xue was back home, she didn’t want her son to be too tired. Just come back and leave, and it is an international long-distance flight. For Yiyang, this is even more grueling than playing away games in the NBA.
“It’s okay, I can handle it. Tomorrow is September 1, and the Asian Championships will start on September 15. The two-week break-in time is the minimum, so tomorrow, we must set off.”
Wen Xue is excited to return to the land where she has lived for a long time, while Yiyang is full of curiosity about the basketball atmosphere in China. Yiyang can’t remember much of his memories when he was still in the country. What is China’s professional basketball like? Although his father was a professional player before, the field of professional basketball in China has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. There is a big difference between before and now.
The Asian Championships, is it as easy as people say? What do those Chinese teammates who have never met before see themselves?
At this time, Yiyang had a hundred and a thousand questions in his heart. But these questions must wait for him to go to China personally to get answers.
Originally, Yiyang didn’t care much about joining the Chinese national team, but now, with strong curiosity, Yiyang seems to be looking forward to his China trip.
motherland,. It stands to reason that this is a very close word. But in Yiyang’s heart, he was full of strangeness to the land that nurtured him…

Mu Ran had been waiting in the waiting hall of Wuhan Tianhe Airport early. Tianhe Airport itself was overcrowded. Now that he is so crowded by reporters, it has become even more impenetrable.
Not only reporters, many Chinese fans from Yiyang also came here after hearing the news, wanting to see what this Chinese Light on TV looks like in reality. A Chinese player met with Chinese fans for the first time after winning the championship. The arrival of Yiyang is indeed very special.
“Eh, do you think that banana man can speak Chinese?” While waiting for Yiyang, the reporters also chatted without a word. Everybody’s topic is inseparable from Yiyang, and Mu Ran doesn’t care about it. However, the discussion of several domestic basketball reporters beside him attracted the attention of Mu Ran.
“Definitely, for this trip to China, he has to learn a few words of Chinese anyway. Hey, young people nowadays have no patriotism at all. He has yellow skin and black hair, so he has to go to the United States. Lean over there. Now the US national team doesn’t look at him, so it’s not necessary to go back to the Chinese team. So tugging, there is a way to stay over there and don’t come back.”
“That is, if it wasn’t for the Chinese market and money, I don’t think that kid would return to China. You think he has been playing in the NBA for so long. When did he come back? Now I see a chance to make a fortune. Just ran!”
Many domestic reporters don’t know Yiyang at all. Like other fans, they can only get to know Yiyang through the Internet and other people’s pens. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will form their own prejudices.
As a reporter who has been following him since Yiyang University, Mou Ran was naturally very angry when he heard these nonsense and hateful remarks. He walked straight to those guys, completely ignoring the amazement of the few people’s eyes.
“I begged for someone to come when I was not here, and now I am here again to talk other people’s gossip. I’m talking about you. What the **** do I want Yiyang to do!?” Mou Ran’s roar attracted most of the airport people. Attention.
“I said, buddy, who are you! We are talking about us, what does it matter to you!?” One of the young reporters was not convinced, and leaned in front of Mou Ran’s eyes.
“Who am I? I wrote about half of the news about Yiyang from the United States! 80% of the information you got was provided by me! I want to say who knows Yiyang best, I am sure No one can beat me! He returned to China only for the game, for pure basketball reasons. Put your nasty thoughts away. It is really irresponsible to slander someone easily!”
Mu Ran flushed with anger, and when the other party saw that the incoming person was aggressive, he didn’t get entangled anymore. When the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the fans yelled first, breaking the awkward silence.
Mu Ran turned his head to look at the passage. Yiyang and his mother Wen Xue were slowly walking towards the crowd with their luggage.
“Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang!” The fans shouted under the blockade of airport security and police, and many of them raised the “Welcome Yiyang home” sign.
Seeing such a group of people with yellow skin and black hair cheering for him, Yiyang was stunned. He did not expect that he would be so popular in faraway China. You know, this is the first time he has visited China since joining the NBA.
“This is the land where you were born, Yiyang!” Wen Xue excitedly took out her mobile phone and took a photo. The familiar air, familiar Chinese, familiar atmospheres, and the clothes of pedestrians… Those familiar times seem to come back all at once!
Seeing the fans so enthusiastic, Yiyang couldn’t help but smile, then waved at the crowd. Unexpectedly, this move made the scene even more boiling.
“Yiyang, you can count as coming! Everyone has been training for more than half a month, and they are all waiting for you to return!” A middle-aged man wearing thick glasses enthusiastically shook hands with Yiyang. When the reporters’ hands were held together, the flashes on the reporters’ cameras immediately burst into flames.
Yiyang guessed it. The person who shook hands with him must represent the Chinese Basketball Association.
“I am Zhang Xiong, the team leader of the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team at the Asian Championships. The car is ready, let’s go out!” Sure enough, the Basketball Association had already sent someone here to wait. Whether or not Zhang Xiongle is willing to personally pick up a young man who can be his son, he must complete the task entrusted to him.
“Thank you.” Yiyang nodded slightly, and only said two words to Zhang Xiong. It’s not that Yiyang has any dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiong, the team leader, but he really doesn’t know what to say to this guy.
Zhang Xiong took the mother and son through the crowd. Among them, many fans reached out and touched Yiyang. Yiyang did not resist, but stopped from time to time to sign the fans.
Some reporters originally thought that Yiyang, who is known for his indifference, would go directly out without pretentiousness, but they did not expect that Yiyang would treat the fans with unexpected enthusiasm. Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the reporters, Mou Ran secretly smiled.
Later, some reporters also extended their microphones to ask Yiyang some questions. But due to a hurry, Yiyang ignored most of the people. Yiyang accepted the interview happily.
“How about the Chinese fans!?” Mu Ran didn’t ask any questions about the game, but instead asked Yiyang how he felt when he returned to China for the first time in many years.
“Enthusiasm more than I expected, this makes me even less want to let them down!” After answering this question, Yiyang followed Zhang Xiong’s footsteps and walked out of the airport gate.
But as soon as he stepped out of the door, Yiyang was stunned. It turned out that outside the airport, there was already a crowd of people who came to greet him. Had it not been for the command and control of the traffic police, it is estimated that the road outside the airport would be completely occupied.
Yiyang, who saw this scene for the first time, has a new understanding of the idiom “a sea of people”. Even outside the U.S. Route Center Arena during the playoffs, so many people have never gathered.
After finally squeezing into the car, Yiyang finally let out a sigh of relief. The driver immediately started the car and quickly “escaped” the scene. If you drag it for a while, God knows if these fanatical fans will break through the line of defense set up by the local police officer and directly block the car.
“Hahahaha, Yiyang, this is the enthusiasm of our Chinese fans! You see, you have always been very popular here. I believe that the fans who support you will give the most warm cheers and applause on the field. Dedicated to you!”
The car has not arrived for a long time. The city of Wuhan is really too big. Driving from the airport to the destination does take some effort.
While in the car, Zhang Xiong gave Yiyang a brief introduction to the city of Wuhan. After that, he gave Yiyang a detailed account of the team’s training situation in recent days.
Of course, the leader of the Chinese national team is just a person in charge of management, not a sports professional background, and does not participate in daily training. Therefore, what he said is not entirely accurate in Yiyang’s view.
“Anyway, we have everything ready now, just waiting for you! Our head coach is American Deng Huade Veterans such as UAE and Wang Zhizhi have also played in the United States. So you Don’t worry about getting into the team. Our training camp still has a lot of American elements!” Zhang Xiong naturally did not forget to introduce Yiyang to the structure of the team. His meaning was very clear. As long as you can have a good relationship with any of the above three, then this team can’t exclude you.
In fact, Yiyang is not completely unfamiliar with the teammates of the Chinese national team. Last summer, Yiyang and Sun Yue played against each other in the summer league. Later in the NBA, Yiyang also ran into Yi Jianlian several times.
When Yiyang beat Sun Yue in the summer league before, he has already become popular in China. Now these two guys will get together to play, which is really exciting.
The Chinese players who were training in the training hall suddenly heard the sound of the iron gate. The team leader Zhang Xiong walked in first, pressed his hand, and motioned everyone to listen to him first.
“Everyone, your new teammates, today is here! I believe you all know who he is, then I will directly call him in.” Zhang Xiong said, beckoning at the door. Yiyang, who was dressed casually, walked into the training ground and waved at the crowd blankly.
“Hello everyone, my name is Yiyang.”
Looking at the familiar figure, Sun Yue’s scalp suddenly numb. The unbearable scenes in the summer league seem to have emerged again. And you must know that Yiyang who exploded Sun Yue at that time was just a Yiyang who just came out of the NCAA. He must be much stronger than before.
Sun Yue now only feels fortunate, at least this summer, Yiyang and himself are on the side… and that guy is the opponent? I hope that when Deng Huade arranges confrontational training, he will not choose to let himself be the “human sandbag” that is slaughtered by others.
