Chapter 453 Kill them, it's that simple (2/5)
The Chinese team won the first Stankovic Cup, won the prize, and ended the last round of warm-up match before the World Championships.
This round of warm-up match decided the list of people who finally went to the World Championships and established the starting lineup. The coaching staff saw clearly the value and role of Wang Zhizhi, which was of great significance.
The opening day of the Japan World Championships is August 19, and the Chinese team held a battle banquet one day after the end of the Scottish Cup.
On August 16, the whole team boarded a plane to Japan.
The list of players who are included in the Chinese team's roster are Xie Hou, Yao Yong, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Buwei, Sun Yue, Zhu Ba, Wang Qi, Yi, Mo Ke, Zhang Songtao, Zhang Qingpeng and Du Feng.
The Chinese team's roster is young and overall.
Four inside players, three defenders, and the rest are all wings.
By the way, Xie Hou is also classified as a flank.
Although he plays the No. 1 position in the NBA, he is rarely placed in the No. 1 position in the national team with weak wings.
He is the best number one position in the world.
What’s scary is that if he is regarded as the third position, he will be the best third position in the world.
If he needs to play the second position, he can be regarded as the second position of Jordan's third position.
The lineup is balanced, the overall young and talented.
The Olympic champion went to Sapporo, Japan (zhá huǎng).
Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan, located in Hokkaido.
Xie Hou originally wanted to visit his aunt who settled here in Tokyo, but the competition was located in this place, so he had to call to report his safety.
※※※
Like Xie Hou, Xuewei Mustu came to Japan for the first time.
This time I came to Japan to cheer for Xie Hou, and opened a branch of "Xuewei and You" in Japan.
This matter should have been done by Takako Satoshi. She is a Japanese person and knows that the taste here is a bit different from that in the United States, but it is better to be a coincidence than to be able to catch up. She happened to meet the World Championships, and Xie Hou participated. It happened that Xuewei was going to come to the scene and opened a multinational branch. That's just right, take this opportunity to observe.
Xuewei and Takako got on the tram. Taxis in Japan are extremely expensive, and both Xuewei and Takako can afford the money, but here, no one knows what they are. Perhaps some people will come up to chat with them, but they can be sent away in just one sentence. Therefore, taking the tram is a relatively quick choice.
Xuewei noticed that Guizi was talking abnormally on the tram, she didn't usually do this.
Then, she found that not only Guizi whispered in a low voice, but other guests on the tram tried not to speak, as quiet as the morgue.
This made her dare not make a loud noise. The two of them took a half-hour tram and finally arrived near the venue of the World Championships.
"I don't know if Arthur and the others have arrived."
"Don't worry, they must have arrived at the hotel safely."
Xuewei looked at the text message, and there was indeed a text message sent by Xie Hou.
"They have indeed arrived, right here at the Carmen Hotel nearby." Xuewei was about to ask the location of the Carmen Hotel, and saw a big hotel that looked luxurious and connotation standing in front of them.
It clearly states Carmen in English.
"It seems we don't have to look for it anymore, it's right in front of us." Takako smiled.
They determined the location of the Carmen Hotel, but did not stay in.
According to Takako's suggestion, these foreign hotels are not as comfortable as Japanese hotels. She knew there was a hot spring hotel nearby.
When Xuewei heard this, she was secretly proud. If she hadn't brought her to her, she might have checked into the Carmen Hotel.
"Qizi, Arthur seems to have something hidden from me recently, do you know?" Xuewei asked.
"What's the matter?" Guizi knew very well about Xie Hou's preparation for marriage. She was entrusted by Xie Hou. Her most recent job was to observe Xue Wei's condition.
Xie Hou must only say that sentence when ensuring 100% success.
There is no way, big men look like birds.
According to Guizi's observation, Xuewei's love for Xie Hou is relatively pure, and their relationship may be closer than many newlywed couples, but her cousin must ensure that everything is foolproof.
He also said, "You guy, you'd better find a boyfriend first."
No matter what, it was too much to say that... Guizi thought that she had not even had time to fall in love with her cousin in the United States in the past few years, but she received such rewards. Her delicate oval face became more and more angry, and she almost told Xie Hou's plan.
"Well, he is indeed planning something, but he doesn't share it with me." Takako was lies in the truth, "I didn't expect you to even know."
Xuewei became more and more curious: "What is going to be so mysterious?"
Hold on to it and couldn't say it! Takako continued to pretend to be stupid.
Fortunately, Xuewei is not very smart, even though Takako's acting skills are a mess, she still believes it.
The World Championships will not start three days later. On the night of the arrival of Sapporo, Xie Hou and his teammates wanted to go to a hot spring.
Zhu Ba also smiled very obscenely and said, "I heard that there are men and women bathing here!"
"Hey, you are all family members!" Xie Hou muttered.
"I! No!" Yi said excitedly.
"Xiao Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
"Brother Xie, don't look at him like this, it's fun in private!"
As we chatted later, we found that except for some bachelors, the people in the national team basically have families or girlfriends, so the mixed bathing incident was ruined. Moreover, they all represented China in the competition. If the first headline news in Japan was to have mixed bathing, it is conceivable how fierce the domestic public opinion would be.
The Japanese may not take the mixed bath seriously, but the older generation who are not open-minded enough in China and need to continue reforms do not scold everyone in the national team until they retire. They are sorry for their most of their struggle experience in most of their lives.
Therefore, there is no chance to take a mixed bath, so it is still OK to soak in a hot spring.
Two years ago in Athens, although Xie Hou won the championship with them, he had no in-depth contact.
Although I went to Japan to play games, although I went abroad, Japan was still in the East Asian cultural circle. The roots of many things can be traced back to China and can be played.
In the hot spring restaurant, Zhu Ba is just as good as smoking and drinking.
Mok from Bayi even went up to get one.
According to Wang Qi, Zhu Ba is a person with all five poisons. Even if his life is not decent, he can still play well.
Xie Hou did not curse at his actions like a guardian. When others teased Zhu Ba's cigarettes and alcohol, Xie Hou just watched from a distance without asking.
There are some things that really can't be said.
Although Zhu Ba is smoking and drinking, he is really a good player and is also the wing closest to the Golden Generation among the new generation of players in China. In terms of the two attributes that engineers need to have, defense and peripheral projection, he is more suitable for attacking bigwigs such as Xie Hou and Yao Guo than the Golden Generation.
After soaking in the hot spring, the group bought some wine and returned to the hotel.
Xie Hou reminded them not to drink too much and not to affect their training status tomorrow, as the competition is about to come.
Everyone should be, but those who are preparing to drink, Xie Hou is sure they will drink all the wine they bought tonight.
"You have to get used to it. They are all from sports schools, which is different from you." Yao Gui smiled at Xie Hou.
Xie Hou asked back: "Aren't you also from a sports school?"
"But I am Shanghai Silver." Yao Yun's "Shanghai Silver" is in Shanghai dialect. "I have never felt superior because of the identity of Shanghai people, but Shanghai people are indeed more able to accept foreign things. I knew what to touch and what not to touch, and they didn't know."
Xie Hou sighed inwardly and said nothing more.
During the next day's training, Harris couldn't see anything unusual about anyone.
Xie Hou found that he was too worried. Such a life was already a habit for them. He woke up the next day without any adverse reactions, and everyone was very enthusiastic in the afternoon training.
"Damn it!" Xie Hou muttered.
Before he landed in NBA, he also liked to drink. His years of life in Moscow made him feel a lot of money at a young age. After being selected by NBA, he became much more restrained.
Later, it became a point where as long as one night I drank too much wine, I would definitely not be in the same state the next day.
A day of training was fine.
The 17th, the last off-season day.
Starting tomorrow, the World Championships will officially start, and China's Group A will face the French team led by Tony Parker in the first game of the World Championships.
It is basically certain that this is a tough battle. The French team has many strong players and is the first European team to be able to get a set of NBA-level starters.
Chapter completed!
