The first thousand one hundred and fifty-two chapters of the Olympic Games
To be honest, before the 2008 Olympics, Americans, especially young people, did not know China very well, nor did they care about the news and updates of this distant country, and many people even didn't know China.
Just kidding? This is not a joke. Don’t think that foreigners are as clear about their parents as the Celestial people. You can also say a few words about some things in other countries. Few countries teach students world history in junior high school...
However, the 2008 Olympics really made these Westerners look at China with admiration. Many people have never noticed that there is such a country that brings surprises and shock to the world between the United States and Europe.
In the East, which is ignored by the world, there is such a powerful or potential place that has inspired a large number of Westerners to pay attention to and yearn for China. In fact, after that, the political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and the world have become more frequent.
This Olympic show undoubtedly made China jump in the spotlight of the world, becoming an important member of the "famous and real" of the great power, and also became the most successful show.
The simplest example is that since then, no matter what other countries have intentionally misinterpreted the Celestial Empire, they have to admit one thing, that is, the Celestial Empire is really rich, and the Celestial Empire people are really rich!
The heavy rain the day before yesterday and yesterday made the high temperature capital a little cooler, but because of the high humidity, it also makes people feel a little stuffy. This is undoubtedly Andy hates the weather the most, because it will feel sticky after sweating.
Because of Andy's identity, she could have directly chosen to live outside the Olympic Village. However, in order to make a good visit to experience the Olympics, Andy still asked him to be assigned a residence in the Olympic Village.
He was allowed to move into the Olympic Village with two bodyguards, and was also assigned a three-bedroom dormitory. Interestingly, Andy did not see the little raincoat that will be distributed for free in all major sports events. It seems that the Beijing Olympic Committee does not want to see its Olympic Village being messed with mixed doubles for men and women... (This matter has been criticized by athletes from many countries)

Andy, who was surrounded by a bath towel around her waist, walked out of the bathroom, shook the water droplets on her black hair, wiped it with a towel a few times, and was still on the chair. When she passed by the table, she picked up the phone that was placed on it. This was prepared by Li Xiaoying for him. While flipping through the unread text messages, she took out a set of white T-shirts and blue shorts with UsA subtitle pattern from the backpack given to him by the coach.
From the ten Nike shoe boxes stacked together by the cabinet at the entrance, they casually picked up a pair and threw them on the ground. As for Nike's crazy bid to win the sponsorship of the US Olympic boxing delegation, everyone knew that Nike was just for Andy Smith. After all, Andy would not do any advertising endorsement. It was not easy to be able to take advantage of the Olympics to let him wear Nike's clothes and shoes.
Nike is also very hard-working. Although he can't take any photo of Andy for advertising or promotion, he still cares about measuring the size of his feet for Andy and makes various exclusive shoes so that Andy can wear it several times more.
Andy didn't care about this, but looked at the text messages on his phone and couldn't help but smile. Yao made an appointment with him to meet at the restaurant door for a while, and he also joked that the news of him coming was spread all over the Olympic village, and his press conference at the airport was uploaded to the Internet, causing a great sensation on the Internet of China.
The phone was thrown onto the firing, ripped off the towel, Andy started changing clothes and putting on his shoes, then stood in front of the mirror and combed his hair, put on his sunglasses and walked out of the room. Kenny and another bodyguard followed closely, went downstairs, found three ready bicycles and rode them on, and headed towards the restaurant in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Along the way, I saw the national flags of various countries being raised in front of buildings. Many athletes from all over the country were curious about Andy and the other three. After all, the combination of Andy and the other three was really weird. No matter how famous it was, it would never be able to achieve the point that everyone knew him.
"Boss, here..."
When Andy and his group appeared in front of the restaurant building, Yao Yao had no need to look for his prominent height. Yao Yao also saw Andy, raised his arm with a embarrassed smile and waved his hand.
Andy smiled, came to Yao, slammed his hands with him, and said with a smile: "I feel relieved when I see you are in a good mood now."
Dayao smiled and said, "The Diamond Tournament is just a warm-up, and it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. I enjoy the Olympic atmosphere very much. Thank you for your concern. By the way, boss, I will introduce my teammates to you... This is Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian."
"Hello." Andy shook hands with the two in Mandarin, greeted them with a smile, and then parked the bicycle, and was surrounded by Yao and his teammates into the restaurant.
Yao was the focus wherever he went, like a lighthouse, which attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant. Naturally Andy was recognized by many people, and immediately caused a stir. Many people looked at him curiously, and many people gathered together to whisper.
Andy had long been accustomed to those eyes, but just smiled and chatted with Yao Da. Yao was a guide for Andy and introduced the food in various areas of the restaurant. The combination of Andy and Yao Da was like a spotlight platform, and many people's eyes were unconsciously following.
After getting some delicious food with a tray, the group found an empty long table and sat opposite each other, but roughly consciously vacated a seat with Dakongyi, which allowed Andy and Yao to have some private communication.
"Boss, to be honest, Artest's joining really surprised me. After learning the news today, I really felt a little crazy!"
"Haha." Andy smiled unanimously, then looked at Yao Yao's smiling face and said: "There is no way. The Houston fans can't accept it. Although it was exchanged for the little melon, McGrady was still very outstanding in the playoffs. Unfortunately... I can only get one more star, four All-Stars. I look forward to going further next season!"
As he said that, Andy raised his eyebrows and shrugged. Yao naturally knew that McGrady had completely offended the young boss in front of him. He knew that McGrady would leave this summer, but it was still a little weird if he really implemented it. After all, the cooperation between the two of them had a very good honeymoon period. Although they broke up later, McGrady's genius was still unquestionable.
The NBA is a business awareness, and Yao still has it. Some people come and some people want to leave. The Rockets' trading will not stop. According to Yao's analysis, since Artest's position overlaps with Bathir's position, the club's senior management may trade Bathir out. No matter what the end, this summer will be crazy for the Rockets. Their goal will be the championship in the new season.
"I'm already looking forward to the game next season." Yao Yao's eyes emitted a light called ambition, and his tone was filled with great expectations.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it too, but you're more at ease. I'll lend you the Rockets team doctor to you to always understand your physical condition. Don't hold on, you still have to rest.
Although I understand that this Olympics means a lot to you, you must do your best. After all, no single game can be compared with your future career. You are a smart person. I believe that if I don’t say it, you will understand.
With the championship ring, watching the jersey retire at the Toyota Center and be inducted into the Hall of Fame, you will have no regrets in your NBA career!”
Yao Yao's eyes flashed and he showed a embarrassing smile, "Thank you, boss, I understand that the future you are talking about is the direction I have been working hard for. Thank you, boss, for giving me the opportunity to realize my dream."
"Haha, I should thank you for making my Rockets' market value soar."
"Ahem... Boss, you are so rich..."
"Tsk, who would think that the money is too much? I didn't see you asking for less salary when signing the contract, and I would have to pay the luxury tax."
"Oh, boss, we make hard money..." …
