Chapter 437: A Sense of Oppression
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and now everyone is seeing ......"
This familiar voice did not ring in Chen Mu's ears, compared to sitting in front of the TV in the original timeline and watching the live TV broadcast, fantasizing about the magnificent scene of the scene in his mind, this time, Chen Mu is a dream come true.
Standing at the athletes' entrance waiting place, Chen Mu only felt that there were people everywhere he looked.
Almost all of the world's best athletes are here.
Speaking of a small group of people, how come there are so many people at the scene!
In the crowd, Chen Mu didn't see too many familiar figures, especially in the camp of the Chinese team, he was familiar with few people.
In addition to Chen Mu, whether it is Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, who are also staying abroad, or other players who play in their homeland, they all greet athletes from other fields who are familiar with each other and chat with each other.
The reason is very simple: Chen Mu has never played in a domestic professional league, and he has hardly participated in any domestic comprehensive games.
Although the projects they belong to are different, the players who can be selected for the national team are all the pride of the sky in a certain region, the most powerful ones. In my career, it is normal to represent a regional team or a national team and participate in several multi-sport events.
But Chen Mu's rise is really a bit strange, too fast, and too unpredicted. Before entering the NBA, Chen Mu was almost penniless and had no chance to participate in the multi-sport meeting at all. Even Sun Yue, who has not played much in the domestic league, knows a few people, but Chen Mu almost doesn't know any of them.
In contrast, not far away, in another team with the same number of fatal and starry stars, Chen Mu knew more people.
Team USA.
"Chen! Handsome! Easy! β
A shout rang out. Chen Mu looked back and saw that there were a small number of people in the crowd, who were also small and small, just like the Chinese men's basketball players, they were all tall and mighty, and they were athletes in special sports at first glance.
βHEY~β
Chen Mu said hello to Yao Ming and the others in a friendly manner, and then saw the players of the American team actually come over like this......
"Hey, hey, doesn't it matter if you don't line up......??"
Chen Mu had a black line on his face, looking at Kobe Bryant and LeBron walking over with a smile, and the leader of the American team not far away was not in a hurry, and he ignored them after taking a look.
The culture of the country is not the same. The way of thinking and doing things is completely different......
"Walk around with us? There are a lot of people over there that you know well. β
LeBron came to Chen Mu with a smile and pointed to the camp of the American team.
"No, we're pretty well-behaved."
Chen Mu smiled and didn't say much.
ββ¦β¦ Are you saying we're unruly?? β
LeBron is indeed a smart person, and he immediately heard the meaning of Chen Mu's words, and his eyes narrowed into anger.
"There is no need for two or two ......"
A team member who didn't know what to participate in was frightened when he saw this scene, thinking that the athletes from China and the United States were going to do it before the entrance ceremony began, and stepped forward to obstruct it, but Chen Mu and LeBron suddenly laughed. The two embraced.
"It's refreshing to be able to smash you in the summer." Chen Mu smiled and slapped LeBron's back.
"DON'T CRY THEN, KING-RULED-THE-WORLD." Not to be outdone, LeBron responded with a trash remark.
βKOBEγ Can't run, right? I think it's better for you to surrender now, so I can discuss it with my teammates and win a little less against you. LeBron can't bargain here, and Chen Mu went to trash talk with Kobe Bryant again.
"I'm not going to lose. Whether it's heads-up or competition. Bryant's response was more formal.
"Yao, is there a problem with your legs? Do you need me to give you more energy? Howard giggled and didn't take it seriously, and the jokes he made made people a little creepy when they heard it.
"Huh. We Chinese fans have a saying that I just 'eat, sleep, and fight monsters' every day, do you understand? Yao Ming's response was subtle and sharp, and it was not the same way as Chen Mu.
ββ¦β¦ He's saying I can't beat him?? Howard reacted for a long time and was not quite sure, and turned back to ask Paul.
"No, that's not what he meant." Paul shook his head with a smile and said, "He means that you are abused by him every day, and he doesn't want to be abused anymore." β
ββ¦β¦ Yao, you wait, I'll prove myself in the first game! Howard said shouting words in his mouth, but he patted Yao Ming's shoulder in a friendly way, and the two looked at each other and smiled, they are both old rivals, there are many things that don't need to be said, everyone understands.
"It's a little weird when you fight Germany, right?" Seeing that old Kidd was also swaying over, Chen Mu asked with a smile, "Could it be that you accidentally passed the ball to Dirk?" β
"We should take Andre's." Kidd smiled indifferently: "In this way, you will be wasted, and you will definitely go undercover to the end." β
"Hahahaha......"
In the midst of laughter, everyone chatted and farted with each other, and after talking for a while, the players of the American team said hello to all the players of the Chinese team, and then swayed to the German team.
"It's so laid-back."
Looking at the back of the American team leaving, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"For them, it's like they're on vacation." Yao Ming said with a smile: "Only when they get to the game will they really get serious, and if they lead too much, they will be slack again, but in a game with a close score, they will show their real skills." β
"That's the strength of the Dream Team." Chen Mu nodded, and when he saw that not far away, LeBron turned around and made a "Lao Tzu is the first" action to himself, and I don't know if there is still a trace of "I will abuse you in the first game".
"Don't think too much about it, just give them a good look when it's time for the game." Yao Ming patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and turned his head.
Chen Mu didn't look back immediately, and then looked at the American team, in addition to the basketball players, he actually saw a lot of familiar people, who were greeting him at this time.
They are all celebrities in American sports!
Chen Mu understood after a little thought: On the sidelines of NBA games, some celebrities often appear, including many sports stars.
And Philadelphia is a decent city, although it is not as good as New York and the like, but from time to time there will be sports stars to watch the game.
In addition to the home field, Chen Mu's performance away from home has naturally attracted the attention of many sports stars. It's not a strange thing to meet acquaintances here at this time.
Looking at the members of the Chinese team, Chen Mu knows them, but they don't know Chen Mu. And Chen Mu knew them because he often watched sports games on the original timeline, and he met them through the screen, and it was the first time he met face-to-face, so he was somewhat rusty.
Am I more familiar with the U.S. team than the Chinese team......?
Sounds like a good opportunity to go undercover......!
Chen Mu was brewing his "evil plan" here, and over there, Yao Ming's voice sounded.
"You ...... What's wrong? What are you doing all so dumbfounded? β
Chen Mu looked back when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw the members of the Chinese team, several of them seemed to have lost their souls, and the bosses with their mouths open and their faces were strange, as if they had just seen something terrible.
Especially the young players such as Chen Jianghua and Wang Lei are about to lose their breath and look quite nervous.
Is it because of the American team......?
Chen Muhu glanced suspiciously at the people of the American team who had wandered to the side of the Russian team, and his heart was also full of doubts.
The U.S. team is just here for a walk, as for being so nervous, ......??
"The first Olympics, inevitably."
Wang Zhizhi has seen many big scenes, and he smiled and said, "Just adjust it during the game." β
"The mentality is adjusted, it's no different from playing in normal times, just play your own style." Yao Ming opened his mouth to teach the younger brothers.
Wrong.
Chen Mu listened, but he still felt that something was wrong in his heart.
It's not about being nervous because of the Olympics.
These players are nervous because they met the American team face-to-face!
...... the pressure of the U.S. team?
Chen Mu felt it himself, but he didn't have any special feelings.
But when I think about it, my situation is really special.
After the crossing, Chen Mu almost connected seamlessly with the NBA, landed in the highest league within a year, became a super sixth man in another year, and became the absolute main force of the team in another year.
So in Chen Mu's memory, basketball games are like this in the NBA. Except for the NBA, he has never played in any other professional league. Facing players like Kobe, LeBron, and Dirk, the first season was really tense and made a lot of jokes, but after a year, two years and three years, the mentality has long been calm.
No matter how good they are, they are people, NBA players are not gods, as long as they work hard to play their own games, they can still win over their heads.
Chen Mu can have such thoughts, but the other players of the Chinese team cannot be so free.
Not to mention Chen Jianghua and them, it is Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, who have been working hard in the NBA for a season, their expressions are also a little dignified at this time, obviously calmed by the aura that the American team is born with.
Veterans don't have to worry if they have seen strong winds and waves, but will this emotion affect the team's performance?
Perhaps, the table tennis teams of other countries will also have this feeling when they see the Chinese team.
Losing before you fight, that's about the same thing.
"Ready to enter, all set!"
The team leader shouted, and Chen Mu's thoughts were pulled back.
The lights are on, the music is up, and the entrance is entered.
β¦β¦
Two days later, the Wukesong Basketball Stadium.
The men's basketball competition of the Beijing Olympics has officially begun. (To be continued.) )
