NBA: Teaming up with Thompson, the template for Atsushi Zihara

Flying from New York to the imperial capital of Tianchao, almost across the entire American continent and the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean,
The straight-line distance exceeds 2.5 kilometers, and it takes about 15 hours to arrive.

Qin Chong, Dayao, and Yi Jianlian had nothing to do, so they played Doudizhu in the first class cabin of the plane.

It was already 9:[-] p.m. when the plane landed at Didu International Airport.
The pick-up team led by Director Zhang and Adijiang had already waited at the pick-up port early.
A group of more than a dozen people, holding up a sign,

Warmly welcome the arrival of the "Three Heavenly Kings of Chinese Basketball".

Director Zhang had a red face, and he was the first to come forward. He first hugged Dayao and Yi Jianlian, then patted Qin Chong's neighbor with a smile and said:
"Haha, Xiao Chong, you seem to be much stronger than when I saw you last time?"

Qin Chong smiled wryly and said, "That's right, Director Zhang. I haven't competed recently, so I'm a little lazy. Now I'm 322 pounds!"

"hiss!"

Director Zhang gasped, and gave Qin Chong a thumbs up.
Then he said to Adijiang beside him: "See, this is our veritable giant shark of the Celestial Dynasty, and its weight is about to catch up!"

Adijiang had already watched Qin Chong's game highlights on the video, and now he saw the real person with such a heavy weight, and then thought of the scenes of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground,
Really unbelievable.

"Qin Chong, I'm Adi Jiang, the chief assistant coach of our Tianchao Men's Basketball Team this year!"

"On behalf of the Basketball Association and the basketball management department, as well as the head coach of our national team, Yunus, and every player in the lineup, welcome to come!"

Adijiang also enthusiastically rushed forward to shake hands with Qin Chong, and at the same time his eyes were shining,
Thought that although Dayao couldn't play this time, the national team has Qin Chong, the new No. [-] center forward,

It will definitely be able to achieve brilliant results in the World Championships.

"Coach Adijiang, I often watched you play when I was young, don't forget to sign my autograph later!"

Adijiang smiled from ear to ear: "Haha, Qin Chong, I am also your fan, you have to sign me and my daughter too!"

While talking, a 10-year-old girl emerged from behind Adi Jiang,

Tall and pure-looking, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, although she is still small, there is a glamorous aura everywhere between the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and she is a full-fledged beauty at first glance.

Qin Chong guessed right, this little girl is Adina, Adijiang's daughter.

Under the influence of her father, Adina liked to watch basketball since she was a child, and she was even more fascinated by Qin Chong's crazy performance in the NCAA.
Whatever you say tonight, you have to follow Adi Jiang to the airport to meet Qin Chong.

"Brother Qin Chong, can I take a photo with you?"

The little girl walked up to Qin Chong, pulled Qin Chong's clothes, raised her head and blinked her big eyes.

Qin Chong smiled and hugged Adina directly, and bowed in front of the camera.

The slender 10-year-old girl was hugged by Qin Chong, a fat man weighing more than 300 pounds, with one arm. Her slender waist was not as thick as Qin Chong's arm.
The visual impact is also quite shocking and interesting.

the next morning,

In the meeting room of Wukesong Basketball Stadium,
Tianchao men's basketball team officially held a press conference,
Welcome Qin Chong, Yi Jianlian and Dayao to join the team, and also unveiled the national team jersey numbers of Qin Chong and Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian was number 11, but Qin Chong still chose number 18.

Dayao, as an assistant coach of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, became a member of the national team's coaching staff.

Dozens of reporters at the press conference were all emotional and eager to try, one after another question came to Qin Chong.

On the contrary, Dayao and Yi Jianlian who were sitting on both sides felt a rare feeling of being left out.

I have to admit that even in China, Qin Chong's popularity is soaring.
Won the NCAA championship and was elected as the No. [-] pick in the NBA,

It has made Qin Chong the hottest rookie athlete in China at this stage, bar none.

"Qin Chong, fans at home and abroad have always said that you are a big shark in China. In the future, your upper limit in the NBA may even exceed Shaquille O'Neal. What do you think of you?"

"I feel like I'm stronger than Shark, after all my free throws are enough to beat him!"

"Qin Chong, the US team's lineup for the World Championships has been announced. How do you evaluate this year's US Dream Team Nine?"

"Mengjiu is a young team with great potential. They are full of vigor. Although they don't seem to have big-name stars now, in the future, there should be at least 4 MVP-level stars born in this lineup!"

"Qin Chong, the No. [-] pick in the NBA, the championship of the NCAA, and the champion of the World Championships. If you were to choose one of these three honors, which one would you like the most?"

"Of course it's the world champion, because I already have the other two honors!"

Qin Chong's humorous yet rigorous answer drew a burst of laughter at the press conference.
At the same time, it also left a very good impression in front of the Chinese media.
It can be said to be a full-fledged high-quality idol.

Director Zhang and Dayao both nodded with a smile. It seems that Qin Chong was born to be a football star!

At noon, Royal Capital Hotel,

In the luxury box,
The round table was full of people. The 12-man roster of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team for the World Championships,

Together with head coach Yunus, assistant coaches Adi Jiang, Li Nan, and Dayao,
At this time, they all gathered together and started team building.

During the banquet, almost everyone praised Qin Chong's crazy performance in the NCAA tournament,
Let the 18-year-old Chinese men's basketball team be the youngest national player,

Became the focus of this dinner tonight.

"Qin Chong, you are really too fierce. An NBA standard basketball hoop can be smashed if you say it can be smashed!"

Zhang Zhaoxu, who is 2.21 meters tall, is the tallest of all the people sitting in the box tonight except Dayao.

It is also the first height of this year's Tianchao men's basketball team in the Turkish Riding World Championships.

Also as a center forward, Zhang Zhaoxu has a height of 2.21 meters and a weight of 268 pounds. It can be said that he is quite outstanding in terms of height and strength.

But compared with Qin Chong, they are not on the same level at all.

In fact, Zhang Zhaoxu was also spotted by NBA scouts in 07. He hoped to appear in the 2007 NBA Draft with Yi Jianlian.
But in the end, the Basketball Association refused to let him go, so it had to let it go.

Qin Chong's speed and strength, including back hitting skills, jumping, explosive power, etc., are all top talents that Zhang Zhaoxu cannot envy.

"Haha, maybe it's because I'm heavy, Brother Xu, your potential is also great, come on!"

Faced with Qin Chong's humility and encouragement, Zhang Zhaoxu smiled wryly and said, "If I gain 300 pounds, I probably won't even be able to jump!"

Veteran Wang Zhizhi smiled and said: "Qin Chong, I heard that you have learned Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps, and they are so lifelike. If you have time for training these days, can you teach me?"

Qin Chong said with a smile: "Brother Da Da, you were my idol when I was young. It feels a bit awkward for me to teach you the footsteps of dreams!"

"Haha, why is this awkward? We don't care about seniority in the team, we only compare strength. If you can really teach me, I can ask you to be my teacher!"
