My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 850 The New Wave Pushes the Old Wave

Clearly, this act of loyalty was of great significance to Wei Dong.

At least by now, it's no longer a situation where he can simply go back and deal with his wife and leave.

Reporters are always staking out Hong Kong Airport. In a developed region where information is far more readily available than in mainland China, the entry and exit of celebrities, tycoons, and famous figures can generate news headlines.

Therefore, the simultaneous appearance of Wei Dong and this wealthy old man immediately sparked a great deal of enthusiasm.

Furthermore, a reporter recognized Rang Weidong as the basketball promoter of the past six months and immediately began an interview.

The news was instantly spread to the bustling crowd.

The whole audience was shocked!

Almost everyone crowded around, excitedly sharing their feelings about watching the game on TV.

We are especially grateful to Mr. Rang for bringing us such a strong player and such a victory.

Asian Champion!

This is an honor that no audience in Hong Kong ever expected!

This scene left a very deep impression on the veteran who initiated and organized the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup football tournament a few years ago.

He later mentioned countless times in public that at that moment he really wanted to be the president of the basketball association himself.

I really didn't expect basketball to be so popular in Hong Kong.

Looking at the badminton, chess, and other sports he participated in as president of the association, only football could rival his achievements.

But is it possible to win the Asian championship in football?
So, as they walked out of the airport terminal amidst the crowd, and faced with the Rolls-Royce that came to greet them, they took the initiative to invite Wei Dong and his wife to go to the dock basketball stadium to visit the warriors who had won the Asian championship.

After all, he is a bigwig in the Hong Kong Amateur Sports Association.

During his meeting in Pyeongjin, he didn't have the chance to see the competition in action.

As a result, Wei Dong accepted the invitation but didn't get in the car: "We have a car. The main thing is that I need to teach this woman a lesson and see what she's up to! Let's go! You've really ruined my life, you know that!"

He reached out and grabbed her ear!

Qin Yuye was the kind of person who was obviously mischievous and nonchalant. He even tilted his head and tried his best to say goodbye to the big shots here before being kicked into the car.

All the passengers and media present could see the sweet, playful, and affectionate way the young couple was showing off their love, and they even cheered them on!

It was clearly not a proper kick; the acting was too exaggerated.

Qin Yuye's appearance and temperament, though not exactly breathtakingly beautiful, possessed an innate allure that made her unforgettable to everyone who saw her.

The older generation laughed in surprise. Is the young man's behavior completely different?
Of course, he also felt it was only natural for Wei Dong not to obey him, and ordered his car to follow.

Yes, it's that Jeep SUV that doesn't suit the young tycoon's status at all.

The two Taoist priests quickly got into the van that the driver and the Taoist nun were driving.

Wei Dong grabbed the steering wheel and immediately yelled, "Did I tell you to go and win the championship? If word gets out that you beat the national team and lost your Olympic ticket, I'll be labeled a traitor!"

Qin Yuye was clearly surprised: "Losing the Olympic ticket? Didn't you tell me before that the top two in the Asian competition could go to the Olympics? I saw that we had made it to the finals, so I was going to give you a surprise. I even promised you a $100,000 prize!"

What the hell!

You almost made Wei Dong vomit blood; you're such a virtuous wife.

"We were shocked, but what's the joy... That's right, the people from the Basketball Association told me that the top two teams from Asia would be selected, but since the Olympics next year will be held in Nanli, they automatically took one spot. Good heavens, how could we have made such a big mistake? Now we can only hope that the HK team can win the championship."

It's obvious that the people in the HK Basketball Association didn't bother to examine the rules regarding the quota.

When has it ever been the HK team's turn to calculate whether they can qualify for the Asian Basketball Olympics?

They probably thought they had secured their Olympic qualification once they made it to the finals, and now that they've won the championship, they haven't given it much thought.

The older generation all said that he was in Pyeongsang Province, so he must have been dealing with people in the sports world, which is why he heard this surprising detail.

Now, whenever people in Beijing's sports circles see him, they say things like, "Your Hong Kong basketball is pretty good," which makes him very nervous!
When the Rolls-Royce arrived at the crowded dockside basketball court, the young couple got out of the car with rosy cheeks. You can only say that youth is wonderful.

The wife, who had tried everything to beg her husband to forgive her, quickly reapplied her lip gloss.

Wei Dong quickly joined the enthusiastically shouting crowd.

Two days have passed since the championship victory, and the stadium is packed with citizens and passionate fans who have loved basketball for thirty years.

Now, it's all thanks to those true basketball enthusiasts and loyal members of Dongsheng Basketball who spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order, proudly lining up and pushing through the crowd while wearing the championship T-shirts that their wives had just given them.

Please let the gentleman accompany the sports tycoon into the stadium.

Qin Yuye was able to keep up only because of the escort of the Taoist nuns and priests.

The entire basketball court has been transformed into a temporary movie theater.

A huge movie screen was hung up, and then the footage of the victory was played on a film camera!

In Hong Kong, transferring magnets to vinyl is such a simple thing; the host, editor, and composer are all top-notch.

The first Asian champion from the HK region!
The whole city went crazy.

Even if none of the championship-winning players are here right now.

So many people, all of them are here to queue up to enter the stadium to watch a movie.

Qin Yuye and Chow Yun-fat, along with other filmmakers, truly brought the power of this championship to its fullest potential.

Immediately, someone brought over two chairs and invited the boss and bigwigs to sit in the center of the basketball court, surrounded by thousands of people, to watch the championship movie.

The background music, filled with drumbeats, briefly reviewed the group stage, with four teams in one group. The first match was a resounding 110-67 victory over Saudi Arabia, followed by a 102-73 win over Right Bank, and finally a 118-52 victory over Singapore.

Anyway, I saw Camp flying around in the air like a black lightning bolt!
HK TV broadcast the entire event live, and the film included clips of HK citizens gathering to watch in the streets, homes, offices, and shop windows. The music was rousing, and the young man flew like a black rubber band, while the cheers from the packed stadium never stopped.

When they quickly edited the video and won against Right Bank and Singapore, they were all shouting wildly!

These two, along with Nanli and Hong Kong, were later known as the Four Asian Tigers, and their competition was fierce across all fronts.

The older man's whole body twitched as he watched. He had played football when he was young, so he probably had that kind of subconscious reaction to follow along.

Wei Dong chuckled to himself: "Look, they deliberately played tricks on us, preventing Haddaway from using his full strength..."

The older generation thought that little black guy number six was unremarkable.

Because at this stage, all eligible participants can compete in the Asian Championships; there are no qualifying rounds.

After these three matches, the playoffs will begin, with four teams advancing to the top two spots.

Then the HK team directly crushed the defending champions, Ferdinand, winning 97-68 and defeating the host team, Thailand, 109-69. At that time, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the largest stadium, Kemp was still like a big monkey, hanging on the rim and yelling all the time!
This has caused the basketball court to roar in rhythm with him.

Someone else squeezed in to share the good news: "Brother Dong, it was you who sent them to the Flying Leeds region to play. Kanzai completely crushed all the Flying Leeds professional teams. Now they have no fighting spirit against him at all. Brilliant!"

Let Wei Dong also point to Hardaway, who showed some promise: "He's still the key. Kemp is just the spearhead, but he's the one wielding the spear."

This veteran has never watched basketball so attentively before. Now he's thoroughly enjoying it. It's really good. A reward of HK$100,000 is given!
That's his taste.

The final game, an 89-72 victory over Malaysia, was actually the most closely contested. It seemed that Malaysia had carefully considered their strategy, precisely cutting off the connection between Hardaway and Kemp, constantly double-teaming and limiting fouls, allowing the other three players to shoot and lay up.

That's why they lost relatively little.

But that still couldn't stop the HK team from advancing to the semifinals as the top seed in the playoffs, where they will face Japan.

The result was that Japan, which Wei Dong considered to be among the top in Asia, was utterly defeated, 122:47!

Before the naturalization and hybridization of Japanese players became popular, Japan didn't have many tall players; the average height of the entire team was less than 1.8 meters. However, they ended up with a super tall player who was 2.34 meters tall.

It's said that he was almost drafted by the Golden State Warriors a few years ago.

But this Japanese gigantism patient, who was already in his early thirties, was purely a genetic mutation. Compared to Kemp's super talent, he was just a slow behemoth and utterly useless.

Others wanted to play more flexibly, but they couldn't beat Hardaway.

So the whole game was just watching Hardaway and Camp, supported by their three HK teammates who took turns coming on, toying with the Japanese team.

Perhaps the Japanese team had a natural sense of awe towards black people, and lost by more than seventy points without any resistance!

A group of short guys looked up to watch Kemp's dunking performance, while the giant, as big as a door, squatted under the basket, being toyed with by Hardaway's mid-range shots and layups.

Meanwhile, all the other HK players were waiting outside the three-point line with their cannons set up. As long as they dared to double-team Kemp and entangle Hardaway, they would be left wide open.

They patiently waited for Hardaway to pass the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

He made 21 three-pointers in the game!
It even overshadowed the fighting ability of these two little black guys.

They directly deceived the mainland national team that had defeated the South Korean team and advanced to the finals.

How to describe it? The teams sent out to compete in international competitions were actually quite isolated, hardly communicating with the outside world. They only watched HK's match live in the semi-finals.

Wei Dong could tell from his own national women's basketball team players that the internal training was also outdated, still based on the old "three from one big" system, and there was no talk of complex modern basketball tactics and scientific care.

Qin Yuye spent a lot of money to hire a coaching team to watch all the matches from the beginning!
Even in the first round of the group stage, it was already confirmed that the national team was the only opponent that posed a real threat.

Therefore, the entire process was closely monitored.

Then a zone defense tactic was tailored to their needs.

During the several days of the competition, apart from the matches, I spent all my time doing drills with the team.

In the final round, it was naturally a matter of intention versus innocence.

The mainland national teams, apart from the women's basketball team, only had a little over ten days to assemble after playing in the National Games, so they were somewhat complacent and didn't even bring all their best players.

Also, they had exhausted too much energy in the semi-final against the South Korea team, which was actually second only to them.

The score was tied at 76, leading to overtime, and the team narrowly won in overtime to compete for the championship.

In short, a combination of factors led to the ship capsizing.

Moreover, apart from the 2.1-meter backup center, the strongest starting center is only 2.01 meters tall, and he was overwhelmed by the 2.08-meter Kemp with his flying and darting attacks.

Keep in mind that Kemp played power forward, not the center who sits under the basket.

In theory, he should be paired with a center over 2.1 meters tall to draw attention and maximize his effectiveness.

It is clear that his gait and agility are far superior to those of other taller men who are just over two meters tall.

Judging by his movements and physique alone, he is a nimble and tall man who is about 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall.

Then the taller substitute center is a skinny guy, who will knock people over again.

Finally, a ball-handling master of NBA history adds the finishing touch.

As instructed by the coaching staff, Hardaway directly shut down the national team's top scorer, an outside shooter with a very strange shooting form, causing the opponent to miss many three-pointers.

In the end, they had no choice but to let others shoot three-pointers.

That's right, the national team's final strategy was to trade three-pointers with them.

They thought this would suppress HK's three-point strategy, but it resulted in Kemp dunking and Hardaway making layups.

Both sides were satisfied with the sexual encounters, with each side receiving over 100 points!

They were destined to lose.
