Motherland, Capital Airport.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! People haven't come down yet, what are you squeezing?? ”

"Eh, be careful of my lens, block the lens!"

"Let's let one let let one go, doesn't it say that it's on a first-come, first-served basis, and whoever comes early will stand in front? What a robbery! ”

Near the exit of international flights, many media reporters are crouching, long guns and short guns in their hands, for fear of missing key pictures and interviews.

April 23, 2006, 2 p.m. Beijing time.

On this day, many passengers who walked out of the airport were a little strange, and they had not heard of any superstars coming to China, but many reporters appeared at the exit, as if they were waiting for someone to appear.

"Sports Channel......?"

Someone saw the clue from the microphone label in the hands of the reporters and stopped curiously.

"Is there a sports star coming? Look at this posture, at least it is the level of Henry the Great! ”

The crowd of the media has triggered citizens to stop and watch, especially sports fans who are interested in sports, and they are waiting together with great interest. After a while, there were many people around the exit, asking each other who the sports star who was coming to China was.

"I heard it's Henry!"

"Nonsense, it's Baggio!"

"What are you talking about, Henry or Baggio are here, there will definitely be fans who will come to pick you up! There is only the media here, and it must be the star of a niche project, probably Agassi! ”

In the midst of everyone's discussion, suddenly there was a commotion among several reporters in front of them, and the flash began to flash rapidly.

"It's coming, it's coming! He's coming! ”

I saw that at the exit, a rather tall figure appeared, which instantly attracted the attention of all media reporters, and they rushed forward one after another.

"This man is so tall! It has to be two meters...... No, it's almost two meters one! ”

"Is it Yao Ming? It's so high, it must be Yao Ming! ”

"Fart! Is Yao Ming that skinny? Now Yao Ming is old and strong! It must be Yi Jianlian, who said that he was going to the United States to try out the NBA this year! ”

Everyone looked up, and many even jumped up, just to see who the person who caused the commotion was.

In fact, even the people in the back row can easily see his appearance. However, this person wears a pair of sunglasses, there is nothing special about him in sportswear, and his appearance is not very familiar, and everyone still does not recognize who he is.

"Chen Mu, welcome back to China! You had a great rookie season, how do you feel about the NBA? ”

"Chen Mu, I won the Player of the Week title once in my rookie season, will it put pressure on you?"

"Chen Mu, how does a person spend time in the United States? Have you made friends with your teammates, and are you having trouble with the language? ”

"Chen Mu, I heard that the 76ers are going to renew your contract with a high salary next season, and after the playoffs, will you contact other teams to seek new development?"

"Chen Mu ......"

Looking at the microphones and recorders held high in front of him, Chen Mu didn't know which question to answer first, and he was in a trance for a while before he spoke: "Thank you for your care and encouragement, the level of the NBA is very high, the confrontation is very strong, I am still trying to adapt, and strive to play a better performance." As for the renewal ......"

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, a new round of questions from reporters began.

"This time I returned to China to participate in the training camp of the U18 Asian Youth Championships, everyone has high expectations for you, can you lead the team to regain the championship trophy?"

"Some people say that because of the problem of ball possession and tactical position, there is a disagreement between you and Chen Jianghua, is this true?"

"Can you predict how you will perform in this tournament and get an average of 20+10 per game? Or 30+10+5? ”

……

Endless questions, endless questions, after Chen Mu answered this, that one popped up again, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"I recognize it, I recognize it!"

Among the onlookers, some people recognized Chen Mu, patted their heads and said loudly: "It's Chen Mu, the rookie Chen Mu who was defeated!" When he was defeated before, many people on the Internet scolded him, saying that he didn't do what he could, but he didn't expect to play a world in the NBA later, and now he is a capable player by Iverson's side! ”

"Yes, yes, I recognize him, yes, it's him! Haha, at that time, I also scolded him on the Internet, saying that he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had, and he dared to participate in the draft without any offensive means, and he deserved to be defeated. As a result, who knew that he was pretending to be garlic, and he couldn't throw it in one hand! ”

"Now the wind is turning! Online fans are starting to blow him, saying that he is the No. 1 forward in the future, the leader of the all-round new interior line or something. In my opinion, his technique is far from that of the UAE! When the UAE went to the NBA, he cried and called his mother every minute! ”

The reporters surrounded and the crowd watched, and just when Chen Mu was anxious and didn't know how to "break out of the encirclement", a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"Thank you for your love from the media, our Chen Mu is still in the process of growing up, and many things have not yet been decided. He came back this time, mainly to participate in the Asian Youth Championship training camp, and to run in with the team, as for our goal, of course, is to win the championship! ”

Chen Mu raised his eyes and saw that outside the crowd, a man who was only about 1.7 meters tall and slightly chubby, about 60 years old, with a smile on his face, diverted the attention of the reporters in a few words, and winked at Chen Mu after saying a few words.

"Old Hu ......?!"

Chen Mu was very surprised, the calm old man in front of him was his coach when he was in the regional youth team, and he was also the leader who took Chen Mu on the road of basketball, Lao Hu!

"Coach Hu, you made a special trip to pick up Chen Mu to return to the team, does it mean that the team will use Chen Mu as the core to arrange tactics in the game?"

"Coach Hu, I heard that you and the former head coach of the national youth team did not agree on the tactical philosophy, after you and Coach Liu were in charge of the whip together, the decision to increase the inside attack caused the dissatisfaction of the previous head coach, and eventually led to his departure, is this true?"

"Coach Hu, it is said that you will be used as an offensive assistant coach to help Coach Liu sort out the team's offensive tactics. Now welcoming back the former favorite Chen Mu, does it mean that the offensive end will be operated with Chen Mu as the core? ”

As soon as Lao Hu appeared, the reporters' questions immediately turned, and it is not difficult to judge from these questions that in the next period of time, Chen Mu will spend time with this old man with profound basketball wisdom.

After sending the reporter away with a simple answer, Lao Hu came to Chen Mu and said with a smile: "You bastard, are you willing to come back?" ”

"Well, it's back!"

Chen Mu nodded heavily, and the bits and pieces of playing under Lao Hu in the past were gradually remembered by this body and entered Chen Mu's mind.

Lao Hu, a real academic coach, has never played in a professional league, but he has extremely rich basketball knowledge, and he is a complete outlier in the domestic coaching circle of "playing and teaching".

Due to the old-school thinking, Lao Hu's basketball concept is indeed more traditional, the inside line should be attacked with his back, the offense and defense should start from the inside, and the outside line is a booster, which is used to run fast when there is a chance.

There has been a big deviation between this idea and the concept of modern basketball, but Lao Hu still won the favor of the national youth team and entered the coaching staff of the national youth team, relying on those vicious eyes.

When he was in the regional youth team, Chen Mu was promoted to the team by Lao Hu with his amazing physical talent. After several years of hard training, Chen Mu's elm head has never been opened, and his physical fitness is getting better and better.

Lao Hu was not surprised by this result, but repeatedly told Chen Mu that as long as he continued to work hard, when the tactics were engraved into his mind, even an idiot could play with instinct.

Although the words were heavy, looking back at this time, Chen Mu was still grateful to this discerning old coach.

After all, before his soul crossed, the original owner of this body was indeed too unenlightened.

"If it weren't for Lao Hu's refusal to give up, I wouldn't have the opportunity I have now. If there is no Lao Hu's strong recommendation in the selection of materials for the national youth team, I will not have the opportunity to shine! ”

Lao Hu is a veritable Bole for Chen Mu.

"You kid, after you arrived in the United States, you haven't called me a single phone, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

Lao Hu laughed and scolded Chen Mu, Chen Mu knew that this was Lao Hu's consistent style of speaking, he didn't care, and responded embarrassedly: "Isn't this a time difference, I'm afraid of disturbing your old man's rest, haha!" ”

Chen Mu was speechless in his heart: I can't tell you that I came through time, and I can't remember your phone number before I met you!

"You can say that!" Lao Hu glanced at Chen Mu angrily, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the car is waiting at the door, but be careful when you go out, it seems that there are fans coming, and a pick-up group was organized on what fox network, and I want to ...... with you." Well, in the words of you young people, 'close contact'! ”

"Lao Hu, that's called the Internet!"

Chen Mu was amused by Lao Hu's words, and then frowned: "What did you just say?" Got a fan coming to the airport? How will they know my flight details? ”

"They don't know!" Lao Hu looked around as he walked, for fear that a group of fans would suddenly run out and surround them again, and continued: "I don't know which link went wrong, let them hear the rumors, and probably guess that you will return to China today, but the specific flight information has not been leaked." I've heard they're going to spend the night here, just waiting for you to show up! ”

"Wouldn't it?!"

Chen Mu was stunned, in the United States, he also looked at domestic forum websites on the Internet, and indeed some fans expressed their appreciation and expectations for him.

But...... Fans willing to stay overnight? This still made Chen Mu a little unbelievable.

Walking out of the airport hall, it was still safe, Lao Hu dragged Chen Mu all the way and trotted all the way, and went straight to a bus.

"Quick! Get in the car and go! Let's go back to the training center and talk again! ”

Looking at the little old man's vigorous walking, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing, this is no different from the old Hu remembered by this body, it is still so popular.

When he came to the bus, Chen Mu just wanted to get on the bus, but suddenly more than a dozen people appeared out of nowhere, and surrounded Chen Mu and Lao Hu at once.

"Chen Mu, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Chen Mu, can you take a group photo? Eggplant ~ yes ~ "

"Chen Mu, sign it for me, just sign it on the clothes, I won't wash this clothes!"

Chen Mu was stunned, the fans had already completed the group photo, handshake, autograph, hug and other links, and when Chen Mu came back to his senses and looked down at Lao Hu's helpless eyes, he knew that he was still caught by the fans.

"Look, I just said wait next to the bus, it must be right! Ha ha! ”

One of the fans, who was obviously the leader, laughed and high-fived the rest of the people, and at the end, as if he remembered something, he deliberately imitated the fisting movements of Chen Mu and Iverson on the court, and came to a cosplay, which instantly triggered the cheers of the rest of the fans.

"Wait, wait, you are ...... My fans? ”

Chen Mu was a little flattered, he couldn't believe that he already had such popularity, and asked.

"That's right! We are your fans, your fans! The leading young man spoke: "Chen Mu's fans, we have given ourselves a name, called 'sawdust', haha, interesting!" ”

Dizzy!

Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't know what to say.

Sawdust? THAT'S TOO LOW, ISN'T IT? It's better to call it a sheepdog!

"Where are you connected to each other? Why don't I see it online? ”

"Oh yes, you don't know yet!"

Faced with Chen Mu's question, the young man hurriedly took out a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote down a web address, and handed it to Chen Mu: "We have opened a special website for you, called 'Chen Mu Chinese Network', and also has a forum, called 'Sawdust Base Camp'!" Don't forget to interact with us when you have time! ”

Under the urging of Lao Hu and the driver, Chen Mu almost swayed into the car.

waved goodbye to the "sawdust" outside the window, until the car drove onto the airport expressway, Chen Mu still hadn't come back to his senses.

I have my own fan site......?!

"Supernova, how does it feel?"

Lao Hu, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head, looked at Chen Mu with interest, and said with a smile: "Don't be fluttering, when you are training, see if I don't practice you, haha!" ”

chatting with Lao Hu for a while, Chen Mu gradually calmed down.
