Basketball glory

On June 3, the first game of the NBA Finals was played at the home court of the Warriors. The Warriors got off to a great start, defeating the Cavaliers 104:89 and taking a 1:0 lead with a total score. The "Splash Brothers" felt cold in this game, but as the Warriors substituted

Due to the outstanding performance of the players, the Warriors relied on the collective to win the game.

On June 6, Draymond Green, the core player of the Warriors, made a remarkable achievement, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists with an efficient performance, and finally led the team to victory.

On June 9, James made 14 of 26 shots in the entire game and scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Irving had 30 points and 8 assists to revitalize the Cavaliers and finally win.

On June 11, the Warriors made 17 three-pointers, setting a record for three-pointers in the history of the Finals. Green was suspended, and the Cavaliers were defeated and in danger.

On June 14, June 17, and June 20, relying on James Irving's stable performance, the Cavaliers successfully reversed the Warriors 3:1 and won the championship trophy. At the critical moment of the seventh game, Irving faced Curry's defense and made a difficult three-pointer.

points and successfully sealed the victory.

On June 23, Zhou Qi was selected by the Rockets with the 43rd pick in the second round. The Rockets said they had no plans to draft Zhou Qi in the first season and hoped that he could continue to train in the CBA.

Enron was selected by the Grizzlies with the 57th pick in the second round. Like the Rockets, the Grizzlies did not believe that Enron had any plans to enter the NBA and hoped that Enron could practice in the CBA for another year.

On June 25, Tencent sports reporter Xu Liwen publicly published an article "The Most Overrated Chinese Players: Zhou Qi, An Ran" which caused an uproar across China.

On the same day, Chinese basketball star Wang Zhizhi said: "For the new generation of players, we should encourage them to enter the NBA."

On June 26, Beijing team's main player Marbury said: "Enron's strength is not suitable to play in the NBA at this stage."

On June 27, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada said: "You can't have too high expectations for new players. How about the first round? How about the second round? If you have the ability, you can play."

After learning about his draft pick, An Ran admitted that he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he could be at least in the front of the second round, but he didn't expect that he almost became an undrafted player.

The only thing that gave Enron some comfort was that the Celtics held the 58th pick, but it was intercepted by the Grizzlies at 57th.

The Celtics immediately applied for a trade, hoping to get Enron, but were decisively rejected by the Grizzlies owner Robert. Grizzlies owner Robert said: "Enron is an important player for us and an indispensable partner. I believe that in the next season

, Enron, who has been trained in the CBA, will be more adaptable to the NBA game."

Interestingly, at the end of the draft, Robert also posted two numbers on his personal Twitter, "45, 51", insinuating that the Celtics did not select Enron with the 45th and 51st picks. Now that he has won them,

I want to trade again.

On the evening of July 29, there were still 16 hours left before the Chinese men’s basketball team flew to Rio de Janeiro on a charter flight.

"What do you think? I may not be able to go to the NBA next season!" Guo Ailun asked An Ran while lying lazily on the big bed in the apartment.

Today is the last night in Shanghai. After saying goodbye to Xie Ziyun, An Ran stayed in the apartment watching TV.

Seeing his lost look, Guo Ailun finally couldn't help it anymore and wanted to talk to An Ran.

An Ran smiled: "It's okay. I think if I play well in the Olympics, I might have a chance to report to the Grizzlies next season!"

An Ran's confident look also amused Guo Ailun. Hearing An Ran's words, he hurriedly said: "Indeed! If you are a great player in the international arena, the Grizzlies will definitely recall you without waiting."

Guo Ailun turned over and adjusted to a comfortable position. He hugged the pillow and continued to talk to An Ran's back: "But the Grizzlies are famous for being a small ball market. Don't you feel it's a loss?"

"I don't know why the Suns and Clippers didn't pick me. I think I performed very well, and they both made verbal commitments," An Ran replied.

After listening to his words, An Ran felt that this matter was a bit strange. I am afraid that only after he actually enters the NBA can he unravel this unsolved mystery.

"Verbal! You also said it was verbal. How can this be accurate?" Guo Ailun said disdainfully.

In fact, we can see this from the CBA league. This is no longer a sports competition. It has a lot of favors and interests mixed in! This is even more true in the NBA.

Although he felt that the level of CBA was not good, Guo Ailun still said: "In fact, CBA is already very good. At least there are no black whistles. If you change to the United States, you try it, it will be even worse!"

An Ran nodded to indicate that he agreed, but said no more.

An Ran wondered curiously, why would the Grizzly Bear choose him?

I didn't go there for a tryout, and I didn't know anyone I knew. Being selected by the Grizzlies was really unexpected.

Although she is unhappy, An Ran feels that she still has a good mentality. At least she knows that she should focus all her energy on the Olympics. Leading the Chinese team to achieve good results is the most critical thing.

"How about you go to sleep? Don't think about these troublesome things anymore."

An Ran turned off the TV and signaled to Guo Ailun that it was time to go to bed and he would take a plane to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow.

"Sleep together, my bed is already warm." Guo Ailun winked at An Ran and spread out his quilt coquettishly.

However, what he responded to was An Ran's stinky sock.

After more than a month of training, because the two of them are not much different in age, they have become very good friends.

…

At noon on July 31, Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Guo Ailun, An Ran, Zhai Xiaochuan, Sui Ran, Li Muhao, Ding Yanyuhang, Li Gen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhou Qi, and Zou Yuchen arrived at the airport on time. They were all members of the men's basketball team, and no one was absent.

Everyone was sitting in the terminal, waiting for the charter flight to arrive.

"An Ran, An Ran, look over there, the members of the women's volleyball team!" Ding Yan Yuhang poked An Ran and pointed to the other side of the hall.

The entire men's basketball team, including the coaching staff, has less than thirty people, so it is naturally impossible to enjoy a plane. So it is self-evident why the athletes who are also in the hall are here.

An Ran knocked on his head, and then said sternly: "You have a girlfriend, don't think about all this nonsense. If you dare to harm my goddess, let's see if I'm done with you."

Ju Ran leaned over and asked curiously: "Who is your goddess? Tell me!"

Hearing this, An Ran turned her little face away, then took a peek at the women's volleyball players who were all playing with their mobile phones, then smiled sheepishly, with a feeling of first love, and then said: "Hui Ruoqi!"

Hearing An Ran's words, Ju Ran looked like he had already guessed it, but Ding Yan Yuhang reacted quickly and replied: "Don't forget, you also have a girlfriend!"

"Superficial! It's really superficial. This is called appreciation. Do you understand appreciation?" An Ran said confidently.

Ding Yanyuhang laughed, then thought about it for a while, and shouted to the opposite side of the hall: "Director Lang, we An Ran said that we admire Hui Ruoqi in your women's volleyball team."

As soon as Ding Yanyuhang shouted out, Zhu Ting and others all looked at Hui Ruoqi, who was sitting in the front row playing with her mobile phone, and smiled maliciously.

Not only that, but also Yi Jianlian and the others looked at An Ran, looking like they were watching a good show, with evil smiles on their faces.

"When I win the championship, I will introduce Xiaoqi to you." Director Lang looked at Gong Luming with a smile, as if to say that your team members are a bit skinny.

Hearing this sentence, the women's volleyball team members spontaneously let out a burst of silvery smiles, and they all sat around Hui Ruoqi. Their mouths seemed to be saying, "Then you can't get married. How can the men's basketball team win?"

Where is the champion?

Hui Ruoqi beat them one by one, saying coquettishly not to cause trouble, but how could one person stand up to those gossiping girls? It didn't take long before she was so noisy by the gossip team headed by Zhu Ting.

Gong Luming even glared at Ding Yan Yuhang with a headache. Why do you feel uncomfortable when you have nothing to do? It's okay now. When Director Lang came over, the whole team didn't dare to say a word.

In the last Olympics, we lost all five games. How can I have the confidence to answer the question now?

Ding Yan Yuhang saw him glare at him and scratched his head inexplicably, not understanding what happened.

"Okay, just be honest." An Ran touched Ding Yan Yuhang's hair and said with a wry smile.

Zhou Qi on the side was lying on the floor doing a plank. Hearing An Ran's words, he stood up instantly, then sat over and said, "People have to have dreams, right? Since the NBA looks down on us, then we will prove ourselves in the international arena. Look."

Do they dare to say that we should exercise before we come back?"

Seeing Zhou Qi talking with full of fighting spirit, An Ran felt that she had found someone with the same goal. Although the two people started from different places, they all faced the same treatment.

Who would have thought that even Zhou Qi fell to the second round, was sent down for a year, and didn't even have a chance to play in the Development League.

Since the draft results came out, An Ran has not chatted with Zhou Qi, and she doesn't know what he is thinking. Now that she sees that he is in a very good mental state, An Ran has a little more confidence.

"Okay! Let's beat the American team! Let them see!" Guo Ailun also came up and shouted with confidence.

The conversation between several people instantly attracted the attention of others. Seeing Guo Ailun's fighting spirit, Yi Jianlian felt that this attitude was very good. In previous years, he lost his confidence after being beaten by international players. This year, he finally has such a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Feel.

However, Yi Jianlian also knows that facing opponents in the Olympics this time will definitely be a tough battle, and I am afraid that every game will be very difficult.

As the current number one player in the men's basketball team, Yi Jianlian has participated in dozens of international competitions, large and small, and has never won an easy big score so far, which is enough to see the strength of international players.

"This is how we should feel! We need passion, you know passion!" Gong Luming was looking at Ding Yan Yuhang complaining just now, but now seeing that the atmosphere of the team has been completely aroused, he quickly came up to join in the fun.

"Okay, okay! It's time to board the plane!" Ju Ran glanced at the women's volleyball team and found that they had stood up, so he quickly reminded everyone.

Don't delay boarding because of pre-war mobilization.
