Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 249 249. The Standard Bearer (for Subscription)

The Stankovic Cup won the championship, and the red team rushed to Jakarta non-stop to conduct adaptive training in the host city of the Asian Games.

Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia and the largest city in Southeast Asia. It is located on the northwest coast of Java Island and is a very prosperous coastal city.

Jakarta is a city with a long history.A famous seaport for exporting pepper and spices hundreds of years ago, it is called Sunda Kelapa, which means "land of coconut groves", as well as "place where coconuts grow luxuriantly" or "world of coconut groves".

Geographically close to the equator and a seaside port, Jakarta's tropical ocean scenery is very beautiful, with coconut groves everywhere, covering the whole city, and it is very beautiful under the sunshine.

If this place is used for tourism, it will be very romantic. If it is used for investment, the convenient sea transportation can also make you a lot of money.

But if it is used for sports events.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

The sound of hammering iron can be heard endlessly.

Li Cha looked at the palm of his hand, the feeling of touching and releasing the ball was completely different from usual.

"It's too humid."

The hand seems to be separated by a layer of water mist, and the basketball is moist at all times. The reduced friction leads to insufficient rotation transmission. If the force is added, it will fly farther, which makes shooting a lot more difficult.

"That's why I asked you to come here early to adapt. The climate in Pengcheng is similar, and you should be able to adapt quickly." Li Nan looked at the players angrily.

Even Li Cha suffered from a change in hand feel, so there is no reason to criticize everyone. This is indeed a problem caused by the environment.

"Practice more and get used to it." This is also the disadvantage of the away game, and you can't get used to it.

"The humidity here is even higher than that of Pengcheng." Abdul Saramu took off his shirt, shirtless, and a stream of sweat fell on the ground with his arms.

The humidity is too high and the temperature is high. The entire training hall is like a sauna room. Even if the air conditioner is turned on, it is the same, and the whole body is sweating when you move.

Players like Abdul Saramu who came out of the dry climate in Xinjiang are very uncomfortable.

Li Nan shook his head, there was nothing he could do if he didn't get used to it, he couldn't play if he didn't get used to it, he had to get used to it.

"Li Cha."

Li Nan called to stop Li Cha who was about to continue practicing.

"Coach." Li Cha stopped again and walked to Li Nan's side.

"This year's Asian Games entrance ceremony, the General Administration of Sports wants you to be the flag bearer."

"Huh? The standard bearer?" Li Cha turned pale with shock.

Every entry ceremony for the Asian Games and the Olympic Games is an opportunity to show a country's style, and the flag bearer is the one who has the best opportunity to perform.

The height requirement of the flag bearer is relatively high, the higher the height, the higher the flag can be held, and the higher the flag can be, the more energetic it will be.

So Yao Ming has served as the Olympic flag bearer for many times.

Men's basketball players have also served as flag bearers in the Asian Games many times.

But height alone is not enough, one must be a person with prestige and meritorious deeds. Being able to lead all the athletes into the arena at the front is a glorious thing in the entire Chinese sports world, and it is even more famous in front of audiences across the country.

"Me?" Li Cha still couldn't believe that he could get such an honor.

"Yes! It's you!" Li Nan forced a rare smile.

Originally, I heard that it is no longer planned to use male basketball players as the flag-bearer, and Taekwondo player Zhao Shuai will be the flag-bearer. If that is the case, there have been no male basketball players as the flag-bearer for four consecutive Asian Games.

Although it is true that the opponent is very good, it also makes Li Nan, who once served as the flag bearer of the Asian Games, quite embarrassed.

But now, the General Administration of Sports has changed its mind. When Li Nan heard the news, he almost jumped for joy.

The calmness in front of Li Cha is Li Nan's pretending to be calm in order to maintain his image.

"I... I want to be the standard bearer?" Even though Li Cha had seen many big scenes, he had never seen this one.

Of course you will be nervous if you haven’t seen it before, and you will be overwhelmed when you are nervous.

Li Cha turned back and forth anxiously, not even knowing what he was anxious about, what he needed to be anxious about.

Li Nan wanted to laugh at this time, but he didn't expect that big-hearted Li Cha to be more helpless than a child who won a three-good student for the first time.

But I also want to cry a little bit, as if I was almost like this back then.

You have to deliberately find someone to ask for advice, practice walking steps and temperament, deliberately organize your appearance, and finally hold the flag seriously, and walk the whole journey with the most formal steps.

It is estimated that Li Cha will have to go back to his previous path.

"Coach, have you ever been a flag bearer?" Li Cha went to the doctor in a hurry.

But unexpectedly, I found the right person.

Li Nan nodded, "I did."

"If you haven't been, you know someone who has been a flag bearer... huh? Have you ever been a coach?" Li Cha's voice became so excited that it became high-pitched.

Li Nan's face was full of black lines, Li Cha just asked casually about his feelings, and was waiting to say the latter sentence.

But Li Cha has already grasped the straw, so he doesn't care what Li Nan thinks at this time, he won't let go when he catches Li Nan, "Coach, you are my own coach, you must teach me!"

I just sat on the ground and hugged Li Nan's leg and rolled around.

What can Li Nan do?

I was very happy that the male basketball player once again became the standard bearer, and of course he gave it all at this time.

There is nothing difficult about being a flag bearer.

Breaking through the mentality, that is, the person who walks in front of the team. Now an auxiliary fixed bag has been added to the waist, and there is no need to hold it very straight.

Then, there was an extra person practicing walking like a zombie in the training hall.

In addition to the daily practice of shooting, in order to adapt to the climate and recover his shooting percentage, Li Cha also practiced walking as a flag bearer.

Added a bit of weirdness.

Time passed day by day, the pace of the Asian Games was getting closer and closer, and the Chinese athlete delegation gradually arrived in Jakarta, and more and more people were in the Asian Games Village.

When everyone arrives in a new city, they all go out to experience exotic customs, delicious food, interesting things, beautiful things...

The preparation before the big exam is important, but proper relaxation is also necessary. Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces is so satisfying and happy.

But on the road, you will always see one hand in front of you with fists clenched, your stiff legs walking on the same hands and feet, and you still have a serious look on your face.

Many people thought it was fun, thought it was performance art, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Gradually, the person's hands and feet relaxed, and his walking did not have the same hands and feet, and he was not so attractive.

Until February 8th.

The grand opening of the Asian Games in Jakarta.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Asian Games officially started, and Indonesia spent nearly 3 million soft sister coins for the games.

The main stage of the opening ceremony was jointly built by art designers from Bandung and Jakarta. It was set with "rolling mountains" as the background, with waterfalls, volcanoes, and unique and beautiful Indonesian vegetation and flowers.

The stage is beautiful and the cultural performances are brilliant.It's a pity that as an athlete, I can't appreciate it.

Immediately afterwards, the athletes entered the field. The order of entry was sorted according to their English names. Huaxia ranked 45nd among 32 countries.

behind Uzbekistan.

Li Cha took a deep breath of air, his violent heartbeat made him unable to hear any more sounds, his ears were full of thumping sounds.

The team beside him had already left, and Li Cha became more and more nervous.

"When will you call Huaxia?"

"Should I take the left foot or the right foot?"

"Are my clothes neat?"

"Not wrinkled?"

Li Cha looked down at the area surrounding the auxiliary bag, the clothes were not wrinkled.

"People's republic of huaxia!" A name that will always be engraved in my heart rang out.

Li Cha, who could no longer hear other voices in his ears, heard a name that he would always be proud of.

With a raised hand, the five-star red flag made a strong sound.

In just a moment, more than 400 athletes behind them were silent, followed the flag, and stepped into the sports field together.

There was thunderous applause in the stadium, and spectators from all over Asia gave cheers and blessings to the participating athletes without hesitation.

Walking on the road that he had simulated countless times, Li Cha was not nervous at all now, the sound of his heartbeat became weaker and weaker, and there were gradually more sounds in his ears.

Is this applause?

Is this a cheering cry?
Is this "Come on, China" in Chinese?
Li Cha's mood gradually turned into excitement. Looking around, he saw smiling faces, friendly expressions, and pairs of yearning and passionate eyes.

Li Cha couldn't help but waved his hand to the crowd, pinching the flagpole of the national flag tightly with one hand.

"Now, walking towards us is our Huaxia sports delegation, the red suit and white pants on the upper body are full of vitality."

"The Chinese delegation to the Asian Games sent a total of 865 athletes to compete in 38 major events and 376 minor events."

"Walking at the forefront of the team is the male basketball player Li Cha. Li Cha just became a Chinese national this year and joined the Chinese Red Team. Because of his joining, the Red Team has won consecutive games this year, showing the momentum of Chinese basketball."

"The men's basketball team we sent to participate in the competition is the red team. Half of the players will participate in the Asian Games. The men's basketball team is very confident. Whether they can bring the country another gold medal is very worth looking forward to."

"There are still..."

During the live TV broadcast, the commentator excitedly introduced the Huaxia team, while the camera gave Li Cha a long time.

After entering the arena, Indonesian President Joko Widodo delivered a speech, but the mistake became the biggest highlight of the opening ceremony.It is said that Widodo encountered a traffic jam on his way to the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.Later, Zoko put on a motorcycle and rode all the way to the scene.On the way to the opening ceremony, the president stopped to let the school children cross the road first.

But this did not affect the celebration of the Asian Games.With the igniting of the torch, the opening ceremony also reached its climax, and the fireworks on the sports field were ignited, marking the official start of the two-week fierce competition!
