Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

"I tell you, three-on-three basketball is truly the wisdom of Chinese sports!"

Yang Yi and Zhan Jun also received instructions from above and started to act at this time.

“The concentrated embodiment of operational capabilities!”

Zhan Jun: “The culmination of all!”

"You can't say anything about the master, foreigners can't do this! First, they don't have the system, and second, they don't have the mind to run this!"

Yang Yi was very excited at this time, and he had to admire the wisdom of the above.

Zhan Jun: "Just this matter, let me tell you, if...if, I were to sit at the table and tell everyone about it, I tell you, everyone would be holding back and interrupting, and I could talk for an hour."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, the two of them smiled at each other.

Yang Yi: "Hey, hey, hey, we introduced in last year's program that the three-man men's basketball team entered the Olympic finals, but the number of places was even less than that of the five-man basketball team. At least 12 teams each of the five-man men's and women's basketball teams entered the finals."

Zhan Jun nodded silently at the side: "Yeah, yeah."

"Right, there are eight teams for the men's and women's three-person basketball, and there is also the host country. According to the level of Chinese basketball, five people didn't make it." Yang Yi looked at Zhan Jun: "In theory, even the men's three-person basketball team can't make it."

Zhan Jun was obviously stunned for a moment. Although Yang Yi was a big talker, he was also afraid of what was said.

"Normally, but how did we get in? Because 3x3 basketball is not like 5x5 basketball where you play in the preliminary rounds and the results are the only thing to look at. 3x3 basketball, at least at that time, was still in the stage of being promoted around the world, so the rule is to look at the points first."

"Look at the athletes in your country who participate in 3x3 basketball. They play various 3x3 basketball games throughout the year. The points are accumulated, and whoever has the highest score will go."

As soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, Zhan Jun took over and said, "Does it mean that you are involved a lot?"

"Yes, it means that you have more athletes participating in 3x3 basketball, and your athletes have played more games. Whoever has the highest score will go! So in the last Olympics, the total score of the top 100 3x3 basketball players from each country was counted. Like you said, it depends on which country has more players playing 3x3 basketball, and these players have played more games." Yang Yi crossed his legs and folded his arms and continued, "Then to be honest, who can compare with us in terms of human wave tactics?"

Zhan Jun did not deny it, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

"We have never lost when we have more people, so our three-man men's basketball team made it to the finals of the Tokyo Olympics, which means we made it to the top eight. But in the end, we were last in the Tokyo Olympics."

After saying this, Yang Yi looked at Zhan Jun standing beside him.

Zhan Jun, as the supporting actor, nodded and said, "Yeah."

He is mainly responsible for praising, and Yang Yi is responsible for speaking!

"When FIBA ​​saw this, it knew that FIBA ​​had learned bad things."

When Zhan Jun heard this, he looked at Yang Yi in surprise: "Ah?"

"Other countries also have opinions when the International Blue Federation sees that you are following the human wave tactic."

Zhan Jun immediately praised: "A country with a small population."

"The countries with fewer people also have opinions." Yang Yi began to sit up and explain to the audience: "Good fellow, they have customized the rules. You are not allowed to send 25 people, and you don't need that many people. For each country, as we have introduced before, we will only calculate the points of the top athletes!"

"Hey!"

"Three quarters of the 100 players were cut! Only 25! Moreover, only the top three teams in points can directly qualify for the Paris Olympics. The remaining five places will have to play in the qualifiers. And for the three players, I will only reserve one host team for the men's and women's basketball teams, that is, I will only reserve one team for the three men's and women's basketball teams of France."

Zhan Jun also explained after hearing this: "Either the men's team or the women's team."

"Yes, we will keep one team!" Yang Yi continued, "This way, the number of teams that can enter the Olympics through the qualifiers will increase. If you want to enter the Olympics through points, it will be much more difficult. In addition, the qualifiers are divided into three parts. I won't explain them one by one. It's very complicated."

Zhan Jun: “Yeah.”

"This preliminaries are divided into three stages. I won't tell you how they are divided, but I will tell you the result. If our three-man men's basketball team wants to pass the preliminaries and enter the Olympics, there are only two words! No hope! Even if we get Li Cheng here, there is no hope! He was very good at his age, but now, those opponents have gone to the NBA or joined the national team."

After listening to this, Zhan Jun continued, "It's called something like that, the heart of imperialism."

Yang Yi immediately understood what he meant and said, "The heart of selflessness will never die."

"Ah, they are really bad. Aren't they targeting us? They are squeezing us out. They don't want us to enter the Olympics and they are making it more difficult for us. Aren't they really bad?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi sneered and said, "Oh! They underestimated the hardworking and brave Chinese people!"

"Ok?"

Let Yang Yi elaborate on Zhan Jun’s question!
Yang Yi immediately said, "They underestimated Chinese athletes! How smart are Chinese basketball players? We are stumped by such a small difficulty? We Chinese are like this. If we really want to fight and see our strength, then let's see!"

Zhan Jun: “Oh?”

"Speaking of studying the rules! We are not afraid of anyone!" Turning his head, Yang Yi said to the camera: "Let me first explain the points rules to you! There are a lot of three-person basketball games around the world all year round, but they are divided into levels! There are lower-level points competitions, and above the points competitions is the challenge competition we just talked about."

Zhan Jun: “challenge”

"The score of the Challenge Tournament is high. It is the tournament that Li Cheng, Zhu Songwei and others are playing in the UK. After they finish the tournament, there is a highest level, which is the Master Tournament! It is the Masters Tournament!"

Zhan Jun immediately told what he knew: "They call it the world tour."

"Oh, yes, it's the World Tour Masters. Only the world's top clubs are eligible to participate in this Masters."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jun asked, "There are only twelve clubs in the main competition?"

"There are only twelve. You can't just participate if you want to, right? The points for the Masters Tournament are high! Think about it, Zhang Ning played in Macau, and he scored more than 94,000 points! For example, we also have the Super Three League in China, which is our domestic three-person basketball, the top professional league. If you play for a season and win a championship, you can get thousands of points. If you win the runner-up in the Masters Tournament, you can get nearly 100,000 points! Right, that's the highest score!"

Yang Yi had to admire Chairman Yao at this time. This really let Li Cheng chase points! All the games were challenges and world tours, all of which were high-scoring games!
He continued, “If you want to improve your ranking quickly, you have to play in the Masters more often.”

Zhan Jun: “It rhymes.”

Yang Yi recalled the days of online smear campaign against Li Cheng. He immediately explained to the onlookers, "Do you think that because the level of the Chinese 3x3 Basketball League is not good enough, we can't play in the Masters?" "Yeah."

"If we can't play in the Masters, we won't get any points? If we can't get any points, we won't be able to enter the Olympics?"

"Yup!"

"Grandma!"

When Zhan Jun heard this, he asked, "Why are you cursing in the streets?"

"Well, we don't have any domestic clubs that qualify for this Masters Tournament. It doesn't matter."

After Yang Yi said this, Zhan Jun asked, "What do you mean?"

Yang Yi rubbed his fingers and said, "We have money." He turned around and asked, "Let me ask you, who is the best in three-on-three basketball in the world?"

"Of course it has to be Serbia."

Yang Yi continued: "What does Serbia lack the most?"

"Hey, they're short of money!"

As soon as Zhan Jun said this, Yang Yi’s laughter resounded throughout the studio: “Hahahahahahahaha!”

Zhan Jun also understood immediately and said, "Waiting here."

"Hey, isn't it? Our domestic 3x3 basketball club doesn't have the qualifications to participate in the Masters Tournament. It doesn't matter. I can just buy them over!"

The audience watching the live broadcast also had an epiphany like Zhan Jun!

"I can buy him the highest level club in Serbia that is most qualified for the Masters Tournament, isn't that enough?" Yang Yi continued; "Look, this, this is the team ranked first in the FIBA ​​3x3 basketball club standings. Look at the flag, the Serbian flag, the Serbian team ranked first. But when you look at the name of this club, it's interesting!"

Zhan Jun asked; "What?"

Yang Yi pointed the information in his hand at the camera and said, "Wuxi Huishan!"

"Ah? Isn't the basketball club that Zhang Ning plays for Wuxi Huishan? Li Cheng is also on loan."

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, Yang Yi said, "But it's not this team. Our Wuxi Huishan Club bought two teams at once. It's really a contribution to the country. We bought two teams that are qualified for the Masters. Zhang Ning's team is another one, and Li Cheng's team is the team we are talking about! Zhang Ning's team ranks tenth in the world. He has three Chinese athletes, one Zhang Ning, one Zhou Yanxu, and one Qi Haotong, and then three foreigners, three Chinese plus three foreigners! They rank tenth in the world."

Yang Yi began to introduce the team that Li Cheng played for: "The team ranked first in the world that we just talked about was also bought by Wuxi Huishan. It has four foreigners and two Chinese. Our Zhu Songwei and Yan Peng are here. Why did you ask Li Cheng to come? Because the thigh of his team is injured! Now is the critical moment to impact the Olympics. It is better to ask your own people. You ask the lower ones to come to the rescue, but if you are not far behind by many points and let the opponent overtake you directly, it will not be worth the loss."

"So you found Li Cheng in China?"

"That's right. At first, he not only looked for Li Cheng, but also many players who had returned from studying abroad in the United States. None of them were willing to go because the intensity of this team's games was no less than that of the CBA! Chairman Yao saw that there was no one else, so he held a meeting for three days and three nights before finally calling Li Cheng!"

Zhan Jun expressed the audience's doubts: "Why is it Li Cheng?"

"Hey, you don't know this, right? Although Li Cheng is from the Liaoning Youth Training Team, he was previously the captain of the Bayi Youth Training Team! Before the Bayi Team planned to disband, the parents of other children had already started looking for a new team, but Li Cheng didn't. He said that even if he left, he would stay until the last second, so they sent Li Cheng to Liaoning. He won many championships for the Bayi Team, so they had to find a good new team for him! Later, he played very well in the Liaoning Youth Training Team."

"Oh~"

Zhan Jun understood it immediately, and some of the audience who followed the men's basketball team also knew why the men's basketball team regressed. One reason was because the Bayi team was disbanded! They are the most special team in the CBA, the PLA team! And many athletes in the national team were formerly members of the Bayi team!

More and more viewers are getting to know the three-man men's basketball team through the commentary of Zhan Jun and Yang Yi!
I also learned about the Wandering Earth project!

Li Cheng's fans quickly posted this video online to prove that he is not idle or a drug addict. It's because of his identity!
Xiao Tian saw this slice of footage the first time she went to the night scene. She knew that there was a military uniform in the cabinet in Li Cheng's home. At first, she thought it was only for military families, but when she was bored and looked at Li Cheng's childhood things, she found out that Li Cheng was an athlete of the Bayi team. Moreover, in the e-sports room in Li Cheng's home, there was not only a computer, but also a large exhibition stand filled with all the awards Li Cheng had won. The medals were almost full and there were so many of them in the drawer.

She didn't even count the MVP trophies. Some were piled up in boxes by Li Cheng. Only the World Youth Championship MVP and Asian Youth Championship MVP were placed in the display case.

She flipped through the photo album, found the photos she had taken before, and edited her Weibo: His identity is different, and he is thinking about different things! But he has always been fighting for his dream!
Three pictures, Li Cheng’s MVP trophy and an extra-large medal display case!

The moment Oda posted on Weibo, it instantly became the number one trending search topic.

'Li Cheng's gold medals pile up like a mountain'

'What else is there about Li Cheng that we don't know?'

"Is Li Cheng so powerful?"

As the topic became more and more popular, many parties involved came down to speak for Li Cheng!

My nephew and Zhou Qi were the first to be affected! One was recovering from an injury, and the other was playing in the Asian Games.

Marketing accounts also started to make an effort and released the video of Li Cheng playing the game today!

The sports section also really benefited from the traffic. With the popular star Li Cheng playing in the game, there was no shortage of coverage.

Li Cheng, who was resting in the UK, had no idea that he had uninstalled all his social media accounts. He even stopped using WeChat, and he chatted with Xiaotian through FaceTime on his phone.

When Zhu Songwei was checking his Weibo, he found that his fans were also increasing. He also noticed the Weibo post by Tian Xiwei, but he did not tell Li Cheng because the other party said that after these ten days, they would have to rely on themselves, and Li Cheng would rejoin the team only at the Shanghai Masters.

He saw that all the comments under his Weibo were about Li Cheng! And he also understood that this was because he loved Li Cheng, after all, he was now Li Cheng's teammate!

Yan Peng noticed Zhu Songwei grinning at his phone, so he leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhu Songwei handed over his phone without any hesitation and let the other party read the Weibo comments.

After seeing this, Yan Peng also checked his Weibo and found that his fans had increased by more than 200,000. Is this as happy as having Li Cheng as his teammate?

He also found that there were commercial advertisements in private messages. Is this traffic? Is it so cool?
The two of them also realized that this was the benefit of being teammates with Li Cheng. They no longer flew in economy class, and the exposure they received was many times greater than before. Even when they went out to play in the game, someone would personally pick them up! This kind of treatment is not necessarily available in China!

All this happened because Li Cheng came! (End of this chapter)
