One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! When the referee blew the whistle, Wang Zhizhi, who was resting on the bench, was the first to rush forward. He raised his arms high, first found Yiyang, and hugged this absolute core who had been in the national team for less than a month.

Yiyang laughed happily, the joy after winning the Asian Championship was far beyond his imagination. No matter what level of competition, Yiyang is eager to win. Yiyang is naturally very happy to have won his first championship in the international arena so quickly.

"We are going to London, London!" Wang Zhizhi yelled the word London, because the London Olympics a year later is likely to be Wang Zhizhi's swan song in the Olympic Games. And this year's Asian Championships is very likely to be Wang Zhizhi's last Asian Championships.

But at this moment, there is no regret at all. After the Chinese men's basketball team won the Asian Games last year, they reached the top of Asia again! Although Wang Zhizhi's career is full of regrets, at least at this moment, he can calmly face his last Asian Championship.

With Wang Zhizhi taking the lead, the other players of the Chinese team also rushed over and surrounded Yiyang tightly. In the past, people were still worried about whether Yi Jianlian could grow into a qualified national team leader in the post-Yao Ming era. But now, people don't have to worry about that. Because Yiyang, the natural core, has already carried the banner of Yao Ming. Facts have proved that Yiyang can do even more than Yao Ming.

The Chinese fans shouted Yiyang's name frantically. At this moment, Yiyang is a national hero in their hearts. Although Yiyang has settled in the United States all year round, although Yiyang was trained by the American system. so what? The Asian Championships he won belonged to China! Yiyang's popularity in mainland China rose a lot in an instant.

"Incredible performance! Yiyang participated in the Asian Championships for the first time and broke many records. He is the first in history to average points per game, the first in history to average assists per game, and the youngest MVP in the history of Asian Championships! You say MVP It’s not sure who belongs to Yiyang? No, the MVP definitely belongs to Yiyang! Now we can proudly say that there are superstars in the Asian basketball arena!” The roar made many fans watching the game in front of the TV even have to take out the remote control to lower the volume.

While the fans and players were celebrating wildly, the on-site staff had already set up a simple temporary podium.

Unlike the NBA, the champion of the Asian Championships not only has to award a trophy, but each player also has a medal. Therefore, the podium is long and the players stand neatly in a row, waiting for the officials of the Asian Basketball Federation to hang medals on the players one by one and present the championship trophy.

It was not the Chinese team that got on the podium first, but Jordan, who finished second. Although the second place is already a very good result, but the Jordanian players who won the silver medal all put their faces together, and no one could smile. The former No. 1 defender in Asia, Sam Douglas, even refused to wear the silver medal around his neck. For him, it was no different from humiliation.

Before the current Asian Championships, Douglas was indeed a leader in the Asian basketball guard line. But this year, a young guy who turned out to be out of nowhere easily broke his dominance. And the big gap between the two sides made Douglas suffer even more.

All kinds of reasons are intertwined, so that Douglas has no intention of celebrating the award. No. 2 and No. 5, in fact, there is not much difference. Only champions are unique. The rest are losers.

Jordan's players walked off the podium and disappeared into the field. Then, the cheers at the scene increased sharply. The players of the Chinese team raised their arms towards the stands one by one. They were going to lift the Asian Championships championship trophy under the noses of the local fans!

In order to make the Asian Championships more commercialized, this year,

The organizers also learned from the NBA and prepared championship commemorative T-shirts for the championship team.

Yiyang took a fiery red T-shirt and put it on. The fly in the ointment is that there is no championship cap. Otherwise, another new product will be added to Yiyang's collection.

Under the worship of the fans, the players of the Chinese team stood on the podium hand in hand. The 15,000 fans at the scene all stood up, and the sonorous and powerful national anthem resounded through the audience. Watching the five-star red flag slowly rise to the highest point, Yiyang found a sense of pride spontaneously.

A person who obviously has no concept of the word "motherland" is now wrapped in a strong sense of national honor. The experience of this trip to Asia is really amazing. The national team, which was not too cold at first, is so interesting.

Afterwards, the beautiful hostesses each held a bouquet of flowers and handed them to the players standing in a row. After that, it was time for the Asian Basketball Federation officials to award the gold medals.

When the heavy gold medal was hung around Yiyang's neck, he couldn't help but look at this piece of art carefully. This thing cannot be measured by money. This is a symbol of my honor!

In the end, the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation walked up to Yiyang holding a huge gold cup. It was only then that Yiyang realized that he was standing in the middle of the podium! As a newcomer to the team, Yiyang won the honor of standing in the middle of the podium to receive the championship trophy of the Asian Championships! Even Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi consciously moved to Yiyang's side.

The era of the seniority of the national team has passed, and now, the men's basketball team is entering a new era!

Yiyang originally wanted Wang Zhizhi or Yi Jianlian to take the gold cup, but both of them shook their heads slightly at Yiyang. Seeing that the smile on the face of the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation was about to freeze, Yi Yang had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient.

He took a step forward, and under the gaze and cheers of 15,000 fans in Wuhan Sports Center, he slowly stretched out his hands and took over the Asian Championship trophy shaped like a "trumpet".

With all his strength, Yiyang lifted the trophy over his head. The worship of the fans, the cheers of the teammates, the flashes of the reporters... the feeling of conquering the world is really wonderful!

Subsequently, the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation also officially announced that Yi Yang, who broke many records and won the Asian Championship, became the MVP of this year's Asian Championship. It is also the first time that the name of a Chinese defender appears on the MVP list of the Asian Championships.

"Yiyang's achievements in the Asian Championships are unprecedented, and maybe they will be unprecedented!" The CCTV commentator used all the praiseworthy words for Yiyang, but even so, he still felt that it was not enough to describe Yiyang's greatness.

Then, the commentator's words clearly summarized Yiyang's superb performance in the Asian Championships. "If the god of the NBA is Michael Jordan, then Yiyang is the god of basketball who dominates the Asian arena!"

After the awards were over, Yiyang discovered that the passion of the Chinese people was no less than that of the Americans. The appearance of everyone celebrating wildly is completely different from the restrained personality of Chinese people in normal times.

Yi Jian teamed up with the camera to pretend to take pictures of his teammates, while the others took various exaggerated poses, their movements no less restrained than those in the NBA.

Wang Zhizhi kept biting the gold medal on his chest with his mouth, like a child who got chocolate.

Others were also talking and laughing, and Huade Deng was shaking hands with the opponent's coach while holding a basketball. The veteran Zhu Fangyu ran around the field holding a Chinese flag.

What about Yiyang? Yiyang stood in the middle of the court, enjoying everything that happened around him. The attitude of a winner should be so proud!

After returning to the locker room, the Chinese national team will naturally not spray champagne as luxuriously as the NBA team. And that set can only be played with Americans.

The players of the Chinese team did not have champagne, but their enthusiasm remained unabated. All players, coaches and team leaders put their hands on each other's shoulders, and a group of people gathered together to form a big circle. The players began to shout in unison, trying to vent the excess energy left over from the victory of the game.

Yiyang also joined them. Before coming to China, he probably never thought that the taciturn self could be integrated into this team. But it turns out that whether a player can integrate into the group has nothing to do with how much he talks. What you do for the team, your teammates will give you back.

At ten o'clock in the evening on September 25th, countless Chinese fans, centered on Wuhan, a modern metropolis, released their enthusiasm frantically.

God knows what surprises that Chinese defender who inherited Yao Ming's No. 13 jersey will bring to the basketball of this country in the days to come.

In the NBA, Yiyang has just begun to write his own story. And in the international arena, the myth of Yiyang has only just begun.
