Chapter 281 World Championships

Worldwide, Gao Shen's contract renewal also caused quite a stir, but it was quickly suppressed by World Cup-related topics.

As the world's largest sport, the topic of football is eternal.

For the world, the four-year World Cup is a feast that no fan or not wants to miss.

Fortunately, this time is not 20 years later, and there is no embarrassing situation where everything except the Chinese team has gone.

Gao Shen still felt a little embarrassed.

"We are invincible in athletics!"

"You guys can't do it!"

"We swim very well!"

"You can't participate in the World Cup."

When Gao Shen arrived in France to attend the opening ceremony, as long as he met foreign reporters, he would definitely be mentioned about it.

"I'm serious, I will definitely lead the Chinese team to win the Hercules Cup!"

Without results to back it up, this kind of speech just makes people laugh.

With a very unhappy mood, Gao Shen returned to China after attending the opening ceremony.

The flood had begun, and Gao Shen did not go to the front to help. He just helped raise supplies and funds, and tried his best to allow the flood-fighting officers and soldiers to have hot meals when they rested.

It was difficult, whether it was flood fighting or logistical support, but everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.

The domestic attention is basically focused on the flood, and the World Cup has not paid much attention. Naturally, I don't know that the French team has reached the top and Zidane is named the ancestor.

I can’t say that it doesn’t matter in football, but it doesn’t matter much, but basketball is different.

When the flood receded, leaving devastated, the Basketball World Championships began.

Originally in history, Japan and South Korea teamed up to defeat the Chinese team and joined hands to enter this World Championships, and then...there is only one place left for the World Championships in Asia.

So if guns can be used on the basketball court, the two farts of the Japanese team and the Korean team will most likely be swept into a sieve.

It's really annoying that the Chinese team has always occupied a spot. Now it's all right, only the Chinese team can play, which is even more annoying.

Of course, this problem does not exist now.

Looking at the whole world, there is no single enemy, and the mere Asian fish belly is even more ignored.

Gao Shen didn't make it to the big roster. For Gong Luming, the main lineup didn't even have to be full.

Because NBA players are... well, in fact, NBA players have not been very interested in the World Championships. After all, this thing is not as popular as the Olympic Games.

The biggest... As far as the present is concerned, in fact, the opponents of any country are the same, and they cannot be called opponents at all.

Without the main shot, the game is over.

Especially the rookie Xiao Yao, who averaged 25 points + 12 rebounds + 7 blocks per game, directly proved his strength.

The other two newcomers Wu Xuepin and Shangguan Feihong both averaged a double-double of 20+ per game. Their performance was more comfortable than in the Bia Championship and no worse than that of long-established stars.

It just so happens that Gao Shen will retire next year, and the three of them have already decided to participate in the draft. All teams without Chinese players are planning to play crazily and strive for the top three.

As long as you get one, you will have the cornerstone of the team.

What, the NBA is occupied by the Chinese, hurting the feelings of the American people?
Don't be funny, I don't live up to it, who is to blame!
Besides, look at the Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks and Bulls. If the game is won, the fans will flock to it, and there is no harm at all.

Winning is the last word, dunking is king, and everything else is floating clouds.

It will take a while before everything is ruined. There will be a round of negotiations first.

In March of this year, NBA labor and management conducted new negotiations on the labor agreement. The bosses hoped to adjust the league's salary cap system and the player's salary cap. However, the players' union firmly opposed the boss's plan. They hoped to increase those basic salary players. At the salary level, the negotiations between the two parties finally broke down, and the alliance began to shut down.

Once the lockout starts, it will not end easily. Gao Shen has a lot of time to start making waves.

It is impossible to exercise, and it happens to be hosting the Sanda World Championships.

Although it has only been promoted for two years, thanks to the appeal of Gaoshen and the attraction of the Wuwang Challenge, the Sanda Association has developed very well.

Up to now, 170 countries or regions have established Sanda associations, and basically all countries or regions with some appearance have Sanda associations.

According to statistics, the number of professional Sanda players registered by the Global Sanda Association has exceeded [-] million, and amateur players have exceeded [-] million. As for those who come to learn a few self-defense skills, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than [-] billion person-times.

The more people involved, the easier it is to promote many things.

The Sanda associations of each continent were established logically, and Sanda championships were held in each continent.

With the Intercontinental Championship, the World Championship is a given.

The end of September is a good time.

Different from Wuwang Challenge, which has no rules, Sanda World Championships not only have to be grouped according to weight and age, but also have comprehensive protection measures.

For example, helmets, crotch protectors, braces, and boxing gloves. Basically, it is difficult for players wearing protective gear to be KO'd, and at most they win by knocking out.

Undoubtedly, this kind of operation is much inferior to the King of Fighters Challenge. In order to attract the audience, an ultimate group with no levels and no rules was specially set up.

To sign up for the ultimate group, participants must be registered athletes, national champions or top eight intercontinental players.

This kind of regulation prevents many masters from the Wuwang Challenge from participating. After all, it is impossible for Japanese judo masters to switch to Sanda.

Face it.

In this competition, it is not that the Chinese team has an absolute advantage. The champions of all levels are quite evenly distributed.

It is worth mentioning that Prince Harry won the men's junior championship, which caused quite a stir in the UK and even in Europe.

After the World Championships ended, the World Sanda Association immediately promoted the Olympic Committee to vote and listed Sanda as a performance event in the Sydney Olympic Games.

By the 04 Olympics, it is certain that Sanda will become an official event. It just depends on whether it can be listed as an official event.

This will definitely require some black box operations, and may even sacrifice the interests of Chinese athletes to give up some medals.

After all, a monopoly project, no one is willing to play, only the joy of all can last.

Chinese athletes have lost, but China has not lost!
You can see how powerful Sanda is in cultural promotion when you see that Prince Harry shows off his Chinese language when he has nothing to do.

In fact, while learning Sanda, everyone is also learning Chinese, because this is a trend.

Things like trends can't be stopped once they become popular.

According to another statistics, compared with the same period, the number of foreigners traveling to China has increased more than five times.

In the past, people watched foreigners on TV. Except for Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it was rare to see them in other places. Now, there are foreigners in every first- and second-tier or famous scenic spots.

These are not only a manifestation of influence, but also money and business opportunities!
In short, the first Sanda Championship ended successfully, and Gao Shen, who returned to China, plunged into the school.

Originally thought that Gao Shen was for training, but suddenly someone discovered that the name Gao Shen appeared in the list of registered players submitted by Miracle Club.

It is impossible to have the same name and surname, it must be the deity.

When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
