One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! When Wenxue saw her son Yiyang coming home, the young mother was startled. Although he has only been away for more than a month, Yiyang has obviously grown stronger. After playing in the NBA for more than a season, Yiyang did not lack strength training. But the physical changes are not as much as a month under Brickley's banner.

This is the benefit of systematic training, which is why players always like to train like crazy in the summer. When a player is only worried about training, his progress will be many times faster than usual. In addition, Yiyang himself is very hardworking and has undergone tremendous changes, which is actually a reasonable thing.

"So when I called, I said that I don't have to worry about my food and lodging issues over there. Look, can I grow so much meat if I don't eat well?" Yiyang puffed up his muscles at Wenxue while talking , which makes the O'Brien cup tattooed on the inside of his arm clearly visible.

"Are you sure we're leaving for China tomorrow? But, you just came back." Although Wen Xue wanted to return home, she didn't want her son to be too tired. I'm going to leave just after I come back, and it's still an international long-distance flight. For Yiyang, this is more excruciating 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. Two weeks of running-in time is the minimum, so tomorrow, we have to set off."

Wen Xuezai 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 doesn't remember much of the memories when he was still in China. What is professional basketball in China like? Although his father was a professional player before, the field of professional basketball in China has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years. There is a big difference between before and now.

Is the Asian Championships as easy as people say? What would those Chinese team teammates who I have never met think of me?

At this time, Yiyang had a hundred, a thousand questions in his mind. But these questions must wait for him to go to China in person to get the answer.

Originally, Yiyang didn't care much about joining the Chinese national team, but now, with his strong curiosity, Yiyang seems to be looking forward to his trip to China.

motherland,. It stands to reason that this is a very close term. But in Yiyang's heart, he is full of strangeness to the land that raised him...

Mu Ran had been waiting in the waiting hall of Wuhan Tianhe Airport for a long time. The Tianhe Airport itself was overcrowded, and now being crowded by the reporters, it became even more crowded.

Not only the reporters, but many Chinese fans of Yiyang also came here after hearing the news, wanting to see what this Chinese light on TV is like in reality. A Chinese player met Chinese fans for the first time after winning the championship. Yiyang's arrival is indeed very special.

"Hey, do you think that banana man can speak Chinese?" While waiting for Yiyang, the reporters chatted without saying a word. Everyone's topic is inseparable from Yiyang, and Mu Ran doesn't take it lightly. But the discussion of several domestic basketball reporters beside him caught Mu Ran's attention.

"Of course, just for this trip to China, he has to learn a few words of Chinese anyway. Hey, the young people nowadays really don't have any patriotism. They have yellow skin and black hair, but they still have to go to the United States Over there. Now that the U.S. national team looks down on him, they have to go back to the Chinese team. It’s such a drag, I have the guts to stay there and don’t come back.”

"That's right, if it wasn't for the Chinese market and money, I don't think that kid would go back to China. You see, he has been playing in the NBA for so long, when did he come back? Now it seems that there is a chance to make a fortune, asshole Just ran!"

Many domestic reporters don't know Yiyang at all. Like other fans, they can only learn about Yiyang through the Internet and other people's pens.

Therefore, it is inevitable that you will form your own prejudices.

As a reporter who has followed him since Yiyang University, Mu Ran was naturally very angry when he heard these hateful nonsense remarks. He went straight to those guys, completely ignoring their astonished gazes.

"When I didn't come, I begged others to come, but now I come here and gossip about others. I'm talking about you. What do you want Yiyang to do!?" Mu Ran's loud roar attracted most of the people at the airport. attention.

"I said buddy, who are you! We talk about ours, what's your business!?" One of the young reporters was unconvinced and approached Mu Ran.

"Who am I? I wrote half of the news about Yiyang from the United States! 80% of the information you got was provided by me! If there is anyone who knows Yiyang best, I am sure." No one can compare to me! He returned to China just for the game, for pure basketball reasons. Put your dirty thoughts away, it is really irresponsible to slander a person so easily!"

Mu Ran was so angry that his face turned red, and the other party saw that the visitor was aggressive, so he didn't bother him any more. Just when the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, the fans took the lead in shouting, breaking the awkward silence.

Mu Ran turned his head to look at the aisle. Yiyang and his mother Wen Xue were slowly walking towards the crowd with their luggage.

"Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang! Yiyang!" The fans shouted loudly under the blockade of the airport security and police, and many of them held up the signs saying "Welcome Yiyang Home".

Seeing a group of yellow-skinned and black-haired people cheering for him, Yi Yang was stunned. He didn't expect that in far away China, he would be so popular. You know, this is the first time he has been to China since joining the NBA.

"This is the land where you were born, Yiyang!" Wen Xue excitedly took out her mobile phone to take a picture, the familiar air, familiar Chinese, familiar atmosphere and the clothes of passers-by... Back then Those familiar times seem to come back all at once!

Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, Yi Yang couldn't help but smile, and then waved to the crowd. Unexpectedly, this move made the scene even more heated.

"Yiyang, you are here! Everyone has been training for more than half a month, and they are all waiting for you to come back!" A middle-aged man wearing thick glasses enthusiastically moved up to shake hands with Yiyang. When the two hands were held together, the flashes of the reporters' cameras immediately burst into one piece.

Yiyang guessed it. The person who shook his hand must represent the Chinese Basketball Association.

"I am Zhang Xiong, the team leader of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Asian Championship. The car is ready, let's go out!" Sure enough, the Basketball Association has already sent people here to wait. Regardless of whether Zhang Xiongle is willing to personally pick up a young man who can be his own son, he must complete the task assigned to him by his superiors.

"Thank you." Yi Yang nodded slightly, and only said two words to Zhang Xiong. It's not that Yiyang is dissatisfied with Zhang Xiong, the team leader, but that he really doesn't know what to say to this guy.

Zhang Xiong led the mother and son through the crowd, among which many fans reached out and touched Yiyang. Yiyang did not resist, but stopped from time to time to sign autographs for the fans.

Some reporters originally thought that Yiyang, who is known for his indifference, would walk out in a defiant manner, but unexpectedly, Yiyang treated the fans with unexpected enthusiasm. Seeing the embarrassing expressions of those reporters, Mu Ran secretly smiled.

Afterwards, some reporters also stretched out their microphones to ask Yiyang some questions. But due to the rush of time, Yiyang ignored most of the people. Only Mu Ran's interview, Yiyang readily accepted.

"How are the fans in China!?" Mu Ran didn't ask any questions about the game, but asked Yiyang how he felt after returning to China for the first time in many years.

"It's more enthusiastic than I imagined, which makes me want to let them down even more!" After answering this question, Yi Yang 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 dense crowd of people who came to welcome him. If it weren't 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 kind of scene for the first time, has a new understanding of the idiom "people mountain people sea". Even outside the American Airlines Center arena during the playoffs, there have never been so many people gathered.

Finally squeezed into the car, Yiyang finally let out a sigh of relief. The driver immediately started the car and quickly "fled" the scene. If it was delayed for a while longer, God knows whether this group of fanatical fans would break through the defense line set up by the local police officers and directly surround the car with water.

"Hahahaha, Yiyang, this is the enthusiasm of our Chinese fans! You see, you have always been very popular here. I believe that when you are on the field, the fans who support you will give the warmest cheers and applause All for you!"

The car did not arrive after driving for a long time. The city of Wuhan is really too big. It does take some effort to drive from the airport to the destination.

While in the car, Zhang Xiong briefly introduced the city of Wuhan to Yiyang. After that, he told Yiyang in detail about 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 major, and does not participate in daily training. So what he said was not completely accurate in Yiyang's view.

"In short, we are ready for everything now, just waiting for you! Our head coach is American Deng Huade, and veterans such as Ah Lian and Wang Zhizhi have also played in the United States. So you don't have to worry about integrating into the team. Problem, there are still many American elements in our training camp!" Naturally, Zhang Xiong did not forget to introduce the team structure to Yiyang, and his meaning was very clear. As long as you can have a good relationship with any of the above three, then it is impossible for this team to 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. Afterwards, in the NBA, Yiyang also met Yi Jianlian several times.

When Yiyang beat Sun Yue in the summer league before, he had already become popular in China. Now these two guys will play together, 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 teammate is here today! I believe you all know who he is, so I'll just ask him to come in." Zhang Xiong said, beckoning to the door. Dressed casually, Yiyang walked into the training ground and waved to the crowd expressionlessly.

"Hi everyone, my name is Yiyang."

Seeing that familiar figure, Sun Yue's scalp suddenly went numb. The unbearable scenes in the summer league seemed to emerge again. And you have to know that the Yiyang who beat Sun Yue at the time was just a Yiyang who just came out of the NCAA. Now he must be much stronger than before.

Now Sun Yue only feels lucky, at least this summer, Yiyang and himself are on the side... to be against that guy? I hope Deng Huade will not choose to let himself be the "human sandbag" who is slaughtered when he arranges confrontational training.
