king of defenders

Chapter 653
"It's good to have you." Yao Ming changed his tone and smiled: "With you joining, our strength has greatly increased. It is not difficult to win a victory in the group stage, and we may even have a chance to qualify for the group stage and reach the top eight."

Reaching the top eight seems to be a good result. After all, the Chinese men's basketball team also made the top eight during the 08 Olympics, and the fans were very satisfied at that time.

But Meng Yun felt a little sad. Such a big country, the best result would be to qualify for the group stage and reach the top eight, and he didn't even dare to expect anything else.

Why is this happening?

A surge of grief and anger rose from the bottom of his heart, Meng Yun's eyes became sharp, and he said to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, don't worry, we will definitely qualify for the group stage, I want you to promise."

Yao Ming's heart was shaken, he could hear Meng Yun's determination, and he could also feel Meng Yun's mood. How could he not be like this before?
"Okay." Yao Ming nodded and said boldly, "I believe in you."

The goal of the national team this time is to qualify for the group stage. This is because of Meng Yun's joining. Otherwise, the Chinese men's basketball team has basically no hope of qualifying for the group stage. The goal is to win a game in the group stage and not lose too ugly.

According to the rules of the Olympic men's basketball team, there are six teams in a group, and a round-robin, points-based system is adopted. In the end, the top four teams with points get the right to qualify for the group and advance to the next round.

The best result the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved in global competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships is No.8. The World Championships were once, and the Olympic Games were three times. Round tour, was eliminated in the first round, aggrieved and helpless.

Afterwards, Meng Yun chatted with Yao Ming a lot, and the relationship between the two was very good, even beyond friends, more like brothers, and Yao Ming was like a big brother.

It took two hours for a meal to finish.

Before Yao Ming left, he told Meng Yun to report to the national team on time. Meng Yun thought about it and told Yao Ming that he hoped to report to the national team earlier.

It was originally scheduled that Meng Yun needed to report to the national team on July 7, participate in team training, and later participate in warm-up matches such as the Sri Lankan Cup and the China-Australia Men's Basketball Match with the team.But after chatting with Yao Ming just now, Meng Yun decided to go to the national team to report earlier, which will help him deepen his understanding of the national team and help him develop a tacit understanding with his teammates.

"Okay, I will say hello to the other side." Yao Ming nodded: "Call me after you have settled your affairs."

"Yeah." Meng Yun said, "Thank you Brother Yao."

Yao Ming smiled: "No, it should be me thanking you. You are still young, only 20 years old, and you shouldn't have to bear these responsibilities. I pulled you in and made you have to bear these responsibilities."

Meng Yun shook his head: "Brother Yao, it's not that you force me to come in. I want to come in. I'm a Chinese. It's my responsibility and my honor to fight for the country. It's fine if I don't have the ability, but Now I have, I can help the national team, then I have to stand up. If I don’t stand up and do my best for the national honor, then I don’t deserve to be a Chinese. I love this land, I love my country I am very proud to be able to play in the national team’s jersey!”

Yao Ming was moved, his eyes were slightly red, and he patted Meng Yun's shoulder, without saying anything.

Meng Yun rested for a day in S City, and then started to get busy again.

Zhao Hao flew over from the United States. He didn't go to Spain with Meng Yun and the others, so he didn't arrive in City S on the same day as Meng Yun and the others. Instead, he waited until the affairs in the United States were settled and arrived in S City a day later. city.As Meng Yun's personal assistant, he will have some business activities after Meng Yun returns to China, so he must accompany him.

Under Armor arranged a meeting, and Meng Yun and Zhao Hao went there. The two sides communicated about the promotional activities and reached an agreement.

In addition, Under Armor told Meng Yun that they plan to update Meng Yun's exclusive sneakers in August this year.

Meng Yun has made rapid progress this season, rising like a rocket, shocking countless people, and also capturing countless fans. In addition, it is backed by the big market of China, and Under Armor is really happy. Fortunately, it signed Meng Yun at the beginning. Yun, looking at it now, this deal is really a bargain, and it's a lot of money.

As for Nike and Adidas, they almost regret it.

What a great opportunity. With Meng Yun's talent, strength, and popularity, he is completely a cash cow. He can make money without losing money, and it is a big profit, ten times, dozens of times.

such a pity!
Under Armor doesn't care about this, they have tasted the sweetness, and immediately started planning to launch the second generation of exclusive sneakers for Meng Yun. Meng Yun's first generation of sneakers is called "MengYun Speed ​​1", with Meng Yun's name on the front, and Speed ​​stands for Meng Yun. Clouds are amazingly fast.Now the second generation is naturally called "MengYun Speed ​​2".

Meng Yun doesn't need to worry about these. He only needs to cooperate with Under Armor to attend some activities when necessary, but he still has some expectations for his new generation of exclusive sneakers.

Under Armor also said that because of the tight schedule last time, "MengYun Speed ​​1" was not perfect, but this time they have been preparing for a long time, "MengYun Speed ​​2" will definitely be a pair of performance and appearance. All are amazing products.

Leaving Under Armour, Meng Yun went to the next stop. Bill Duffy was in charge before, and all the brands he picked up were Under Armour, Land Rover, and Gatorade. After Zhao Hao took over, he started to get in touch with some domestic brands.

Of course, these brands have been strictly selected and have considerable qualifications and popularity.

After a few days of busy work, the event in Under Armour's S City was held. Meng Yun attended the event, and everything went smoothly. After the event, Meng Yun's affairs in S City came to an end. He returned to H with Guo Hai, Guo Shuyao, and Liu Qin Province.Zhao Hao will stay here and deal with some follow-up matters with several companies.

"I can finally go home," Meng Yun said.

"Yes." Guo Shuyao smiled happily.

After a few hours of flight, several people returned to Province H, and did not stay there, and immediately returned to City N by car.

When he arrived in City N, seeing the familiar surroundings, Meng Yun's face overflowed with a smile, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling indescribably kind and comfortable. The wanderer returned home, feeling very cordial.

"Meng Yun." Guo Shuyao said: "Tomorrow we will have a day off, and then we will go back to the countryside to see grandpa."

"No need to rest, I'll go tomorrow. It's been a long time since I went back to see my grandfather, he's alone." Meng Yun realized before he finished speaking, "Oh, it's good to have a day off, Shuyao, you're tired too."

Guo Shuyao felt sweet in her heart, she shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, I'll go tomorrow. I haven't seen grandpa for a long time, he must miss you."
