CCTV News specifically reported the Universiade.

"The No.20 World University Games with the purpose of "Youth, Friendship, and Peace" came to an end in BJ today.

Athletes from all over the world participated in 12 events in 168 major events including track and field, gymnastics, table tennis, swimming, diving, water polo, tennis, judo, basketball, fencing, volleyball, and football.

The Chinese sports delegation sent a total of 256 athletes to participate in all 12 major events.

We ended up topping the list with 55 gold medals.

This is the first time that our Chinese delegation has won the first place in the total number of gold medals in the Universiade.

The United States and Russia ranked second and third in the medal table with 21 gold medals and 14 gold medals respectively.

Among them, the Chinese college men's basketball team performed very well.In the semi-finals and finals, our men's basketball team reached the highest podium in the world for the first time.

Yes, this is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has reached the highest podium in the World Series.

Among them, the most talked about is: the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American men's basketball team.

Although the Chinese team won the US team in the World Championships once before, such news is really "popular" in China, and there is really not too much, the more the better.

This has greatly promoted the basketball atmosphere in our country.

Neighboring South Korea also reported the Universiade, and also highlighted the men's basketball competition.

"In this competition, the Chinese team has sent many main players of the national team. Among them is the main center Yao Liang. Yao Liang is the No. The Chinese team also has Zhu Fangyu, the No. 24 pick of the Cavaliers this year. He is a sharp shooter and the main small forward of the Guangdong team in the CBA league. There are also Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Xue Yuyang and others, all of whom are from professional teams. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese men's basketball team can win the American college team."

The Japanese media is more objective.

"The average age of the players in this Chinese team is only 20.3 years old, which is 21.6 years younger than the 1.3 years old of the American men's basketball team. Chinese young players have already threatened the dominance of American young players, but what about our young players? Except us Brothers Takeuchi, who else do we have? Our basketball reforms over the years are still not enough, maybe we need to find another way!"

The United States on the other side of the Pacific also has its own views on this matter.

"We lost again to the Chinese team! What happened to our young people?"

"The newly-promoted No. [-] Chinese Yao proved himself in the college student arena! Well, he proved that he is better than a group of college students."

"The Universiade is just a trick where adults bully children with fake ones. If we also send professional players, there will be no suspense in the game."

"Helping the team win the championship, the Chinese giants are rarely rivaled on the field."

Among them, Big Mouth Barkley also joined in.

"Chinese Yao showed his prowess at the Universiade, but, sorry, you are still not a suitable candidate for the No. Don't agree with what I'm saying, but it's okay. You can prove yourself in the game, I'm waiting for you."

Barkley had a quarrel with Iverson for a while before, and then it disappeared. However, Barkley's big mouth has also become famous.

In the draft, Barkley's words became a prophecy, which made him show his face in the American media.

It's just that Barkley doesn't like Yao Liang at all.Taking advantage of the Universiade at this moment, of course he wanted to quickly reverse his image.It would be bad if people mistakenly think that they are optimistic about that Chinese.He's going to be a commentator for a long, long time.

I don't know who is fueling the flames, but soon, there is a wave of public opinion in the American basketball circle, discussing the public opinion of the new No. [-] pick Yao Liang.

In the end, this public opinion also evolved into several topics.

"How many points can Yao Liang score in his NBA debut?"

"Can Yao Liang reach double figures in points per game in his rookie season?"

"Can Yao Liang lead the Wizards out of the woods?"

The answers to these questions have also become popular interview topics on TNT and other TV stations recently.

This guy Barkley also continued to join in the fun.

"Yao should score in his first show, um, 4 points. After all, he just came here, and he doesn't know anything about our league strength. It's normal to score 4 points. As for averaging double figures per game, this may be good for him. It's more difficult, after all, this is not a Universiade, hahahaha. The last question, let's not talk about it, right?"

There are really many people like Barkley.You say something, everyone is an expert, everyone comes out to say a few words, and then the news becomes popular.As long as Yao Liang was discussed, it was a piece of hot news.

A few days later, the topic faded a little bit, and everyone was attracted by other news.

Kobe and Vanessa's wedding.

The couple's wedding, the old Bryants and other relatives refused to attend the ceremony.

However, without his parents present, Kobe's ostentation was not small at all.

The groomsmen are all NBA superstars.Li Nan, Iverson, McGrady, Carter. The words BLA are particularly eye-catching.

The guests are also various big names, such as Michael Jordan in basketball, Phil Jackson, Shaquille O'Neal, handsome men and beautiful women in music and film.

The whole wedding was quite beautiful, happy and sweet.

However, at the end of the wedding, Li Nan was caught by the reporter and asked the previous three questions.

"How many points can Yao Liang score in his NBA debut?"

"Can Yao Liang reach double figures in points per game in his rookie season?"

"Can Yao Liang lead the Wizards out of the woods?"

Li Nan smiled and replied without thinking:

"His first show will definitely surprise the whole world. It is a piece of cake for him to average double figures per game. As for whether Yao can lead the Wizards out of the predicament, my answer is: yes! I bet next season They're definitely going to make the playoffs."

Li Nan answered confidently, but no one believed it.

Yao Liang's strength is unknown to the general public in the United States except for those professionals.

As for Yao Liang scoring 40+20 in the CBA game, Americans don't recognize it.

I won't approve of you until you have a good game in front of my eyes.

What they recognize more is Kwame Brown and Tyson Chandler.Eddie Curry, these three guys who grew up under their noses.

Foreigners like Yao Liang Gasol, I'm sorry, you have to prove yourself again!
At a time when public opinion was rife, Barkley appeared again.

"Leading the Wizards out of trouble? Well, with all due respect, he can't do it! The Wizards are in a mess right now, even if they had Michael Jordan, they wouldn't be able to get out of it."

And then, unexpectedly, a month later, in late September, Michael Jordan held a press conference in Washington.
