my golden age

Chapter 224 034: Waiting for the flowers to bloom
The Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization that has been passed down to the present. With the addition of modern thinking, it still retains vigorous vitality.Because of this, Olympic-related designs have added traditional elements.

The logo is a pictograph, like Jing, like Wen, and also like a running villain.

Gao Fei prefers the mascot Fuwa, so he bought a few sets and gave them to children and parents.

The medals also have advance Reuters, which are in the shape of gold inlaid with jade, which is different from the previous medals.

After Gao Fei came back from the south, he took a day off and then officially returned to the national team.

He got up early that day, took a taxi, and asked the driver to take him to visit the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube first.

"BJ is very lively this year." The driver, an old BJ, said to Gao Fei who was sitting in the back row, "The Olympics are amazing. They have different meanings to this country."

Gao Fei sometimes admires taxi drivers. They meet people from all over the world, and they talk about big things and small things in order to relieve the fatigue on the road.It seems that he knows everything and can reach anywhere he thinks of.

Sitting in the car, he looked at the bird's nest in the distance and sighed at the development of architectural technology.The previous Western-style buildings, the sense of design is definitely not so strong.

"Master, turn around and go to the Wukesong Basketball Stadium." Gao Fei looked at his watch and knew that the team's training was very close, so he decided to go to the first NBA-level stadium in China.

The driver started the car and went to the Wukesong Basketball Stadium next to Chang'an Avenue.

After Gao Fei paid the fare, he didn't ask the driver for change.He came back from the United States, and there are still some remnants of the habit of tipping.

The driver master knew that Gao Fei was rich, so he didn't refuse, so he accepted the friendly gift with peace of mind.

"Gao Fei, can I drive you home?" The driver felt that driving Gao Fei was a unique experience, and he was willing to give up some opportunities to make money.

"Okay, it's just a long wait."

"No problem." The driver replied with a smile while stretching out his thumb.

With a backpack on his back, Gao Fei showed his ID to the security personnel and walked into the basketball court.

Wukesong Basketball Gymnasium has six locker rooms with the same specifications, and there will be no difference in treatment.In the group stage, four locker rooms will be opened for use by both sides.

Jonas was looking forward to Gao Fei's return to the team and arrived two hours early, so the open locker room was lit.

The translators have to follow the head coach, temporarily out of work, and use their mobile phones to send messages to family and friends.

Most people know that Gao Fei will return to the team today, so they are quite curious.

Gao Fei walked into the locker room and said with a smile, "Coach, hello."

Yunas was taking a nap when he heard Gao Fei's voice, opened his eyes, made sure that he was not dreaming, got up and shook hands with Gao Fei.

"You should have come back a few months earlier." Yunas laughed, "Our team has already gotten along very well."

This sentence is in English, so Gao Fei can understand it.

Gao Fei laughed and said, "If that's the case, I'll go back and be a spectator."

"That can't be done." Jonas finished joking, pointed to the cabinet behind, and said, "This is your jersey."

Gao Fei walked over, picked up the jersey with gold letters on the red background, and focused on the golden five-pointed star on the back of the neck and the totem pattern in the background.

The totem is dark red, which is different from the overall color and is very conspicuous.

This jersey looks better than the one in the 06 World Championships, and it also has traditional elements, so Gao Fei immediately loved it.

He was very lucky in his career, and no one has ever grabbed the No. 6, so he has always worn this number jersey.This time is no exception.

Gao Fei took out the jersey from the packing bag, compared it in front of him, and said, "It's the jersey I want."

Yunus waited for Gao Fei to compare the jerseys, and said: "This time the national team wants to win the medal. Although the goal is not a clear championship, but the whole team has this idea."

"Yeah." Gao Fei knew that Yunus had something to say, so he answered simply.

"Gao, before the Olympic Games, the Basketball Association has arranged two warm-up games. At that time, you will basically not be allowed to play for too long to exercise other players. I hope you can understand." Jonas respected Gao Fei very much, afraid that he would think Play a good warm-up match.

"No problem, I obey the arrangement." Gao Fei has retired from the professional arena, and after finishing the Olympics, he can settle down and enjoy life, more open-minded than before.

"It's good that you can understand." Yunas didn't expect the communication to be so smooth, but was a little at a loss.

Gao Fei picked up a Molten basketball, put on his training clothes, and went directly to the arena for training.

As the host team, the men's basketball team can adapt to the competition venue in advance.This is an advantageous point.

It's just that after the opening of the Olympic Games, 18000 spectators will enter the arena to watch the game, and the cheers and atmosphere will be very different from those during training.

Gao Fei dribbled the ball into the arena and started shooting training first.He's trained a lot, over several years, and has shot millions of shots.

Muscle memory has been built, and as soon as you get the ball, you can find the rhythm of the shot.

Wukesong Basketball Stadium is a gymnasium that is both economical and environmentally friendly. It has high practicability and also has energy-saving considerations.

Playing in this arena always feels different from ordinary arenas.

The Staples Center is where Gao Fei has played for several years, and it has a sense of luxury.The Wukesong basketball hall has a different temperament, more simple and calm.

Relatively speaking, Gao Fei prefers to play in the Wukesong basketball court.

The players arrived at the arena one after another.

Dayao came earlier, seeing Gao Fei in his sweaty training clothes, he smiled and said, "Retired workers are still working so hard."

Gao Fei was in the middle of shooting, his movement was affected, and he hit a good iron with a bang.

"I'm only 23 years old, why am I a retired worker?" Gao Fei asked with a smile.

"If you retire, you will be considered a retired employee." Dayao walked over with a basketball in his hand, looking like a big guard.

Players will practice basic skills, and when the gap is not large, they are good at different directions.No matter how good the dribble is inside, you should not dribble too much in the game, otherwise the mistakes will explode.

Yunas and Guo Shiqiang worked together and decided to finalize the team roster as soon as possible.You can't judge by fame alone, but also consider the fit with the lineup.

Sun Yue lives in BJ and will play for the Lakers next season.He came to the training hall and gave Gao Fei a high five.

"Let's start training, and talk about it when you have something to say."

"I built a QQ group, and we will chat in it when the time comes." Sun Yue said.

"Okay, then you pull me."

Before WeChat came out, QQ was the more popular chat software.The group chat function is very useful, you can communicate with many people at the same time.

The players gradually arrived and all came to say hello to Gao Fei, and then began an intense training match.

Gao Fei played in the finals and had less than a week of rest, but his strength was still significantly stronger than his teammates.He scores and assists easily, and his ability to drive his teammates is stronger than it was two years ago.

Jonas has led the team to practice for a long time, but there are always some small problems.Gao Fei joined the training, and the situation improved immediately.

A good point guard is the brain of the team, allowing teammates to perform well in the most comfortable way.

Gao Fei broke through to the penalty area, opened his eyes behind his head, and passed to Liu Wei who had a chance in the middle distance.

Liu Wei had a mid-range basket, decisively ended and scored the ball steadily.

"Yes." Gao Fei smiled and clapped hands with Liu Wei, celebrating a wonderful cooperation.

All the insiders in the arena know that Gao Fei's passes are accurate and ruthless, and his timing is in place, and his vision is wide.These qualities make it difficult for defenses to target.

Gao Fei achieved good results in his first training session back.

"That's it for today," Jonas called off the training when it was close to 12 o'clock, called the players together, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, go back and have a good rest."

He and Guo Shiqiang will look back at the training video to find players who have played well to confirm the final 12-man roster.

This opportunity is only once, and the players selected for the training team want to stay.It's just that there are only 12 places.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after repeatedly studying the video, Jonas confirmed the candidates for the big list.

Guo Shiqiang received a text message from Jonas and knew who had been selected for the national team.The rest can only say sorry.

He turned on the computer, made a simple form, sorted out the names and numbers of the twelve selected players, and sent them to the player group in the form of photos.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Gao Fei joined the group chat, just in time to see the message sent.

The order of the table is from small to large, which is the same as the order of FIBA's introduction.There is no such thing as a star player here, everything is divided by position and number.

The four insiders are Dayao, Dazhi, Ah Lian and Daba; the four strikers are Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and Xu Yong; the four backs are Gao Fei, Liu Wei, Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng.

This list is very reasonable, and there are basically no unexpected candidates.There are two lineups for the three positions, the rotation can be looser, and physical problems are less likely to occur.

The rest of the training team members were naturally eliminated.Despite the psychological preparation, it is inevitable to lose.

Li Nan served as the captain again, found a restaurant, and decided to treat the big guy to a meal.

Gao Fei is a player, and he has a controlled diet, but athletes usually don't order anything taboo at dinner parties, so they happily go there.

They substituted water for wine, ate vegetarian hot pot, and saw off the team members who had little contact with them.

Gao Fei has only practiced with these people once, and knows that they have a good level, but they are not far from the top.After years of hard work, it was not recognized after all.

Dayao is considered a leader in the national team, so he said a few words first to encourage the players who entered the training team.

"Chinese basketball not only includes the national team, but also professional leagues and competitions at all levels. Go back and train hard, and continue to contribute to basketball." The plain words are completely different from the usual laughing style.

Li Nan is the captain, and he also said a few heartfelt words.He was born in the August [-]st Army, and he has the consciousness to obey the command in all actions, so his words are relatively tough, but they are all truthful.

The players kept their touch and loss in their hearts, and left BJ on the same day after eating vegetarian hot pot.

They will still come to watch the games during the Olympics, but there is no reason to continue spending time in BJ right now.

Gao Fei knows that reality is so cruel.He was one of those who were eliminated before, so it was hard to understand their feelings.

The domestic sports media are not idle either, making some special topics to warm up for the Olympic Games in advance.

The most popular sports to win the championship are all involved, and table tennis is still ranked first.Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles competition also attracted much attention, and there were also many special reports.

There are not many news about the men's basketball team, there are some lace, and there are a few simple reports about the warm-up match.

Sina Sports has nothing to do, so they created a ranking list of basketball numbers and appearances, ranking No. 6 players first.The reason is that this number has Spanish men's basketball guard Ricky Rubio, women's basketball guard Tamara Abald and Chinese men's basketball guard Gao Fei.

All three are model-level looks and figures, which are indeed more aesthetically pleasing than other numbers.

Gao Fei had never heard of Tamara Abbald, and when he clicked on the picture, he found that this player was indeed very beautiful.

"The 20-year-old foreign girl is indeed very attractive." Gao Fei muttered to himself, but he still had a higher goal in front of him, and he didn't have the energy to take care of other things.
"You can ask for contact information first." Another voice in my heart said.

Gao Fei knew that this was the voice of the system avatar, and said with a smile, "Aren't you looking for a celebrity in the entertainment industry this time?"

"You can find it, but it's not necessary." The system avatar replied.

"Okay." Gao Fei said with a smile, "I can try to ask for it, but they may not be willing to give it."

"If she didn't play basketball, she might not give it to you. Since she is with you, the probability of rejecting you is not high."

Gao Fei didn't know where the confidence of the system avatar came from, so he decided to try again later.

The opportunity came during the second warm-up match. In the warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team, Gao Fei only played 8 minutes.If he didn't know that he was not injured, the Spaniard would be suspicious of the match-fixing.

The warm-up match is just to find the state, not counted in the score, neither side is serious, and more importantly, it is to adapt to the FIBA ​​rules and the court.

There are many things in FIBA ​​that are different from those in the NBA. If you adapt in advance, you can also improve.

Tamara Abbald came to watch the Spanish men's basketball game, so she appeared on the sidelines.

The camera captured it many times, so that Gao Fei also noticed this girl who was as good-looking as a star.

Gao Fei is a basketball star who has attracted widespread attention, so he asked his master Sun Feiyang to help him find the way.

Sun Feiyang can speak English, but he is not proficient in Spanish. He can only communicate with Tamara Abald in English.It wasn't until it was revealed that Gao Fei entrusted him with errands that the communication became smooth.

The contact information is a foreign number, and Gao Fei got the contact information written on the paper, thanking Sun Feiyang.

"Xiao Fei, you'd better wait until after the Olympics. Then you will have plenty of time to play as you like." Feiyang Sun started the car and offered his personal suggestion.

"I can tell the difference between the serious and the serious." Gao Fei felt like a bright mirror in his heart.He is a successful businessman in his spare time, and he will not easily fall into love in the world of mortals.

"I never said I was worried about you." Feiyang said with a smile.He did mean that, but he couldn't admit it.

Gao Fei returned to the topic and asked, "Are Xiao Le and Xiao Liang used to living in BJ?"

"They are very sensible, and they will take the initiative to help with housework." Feiyang Sun turned a corner smoothly and said, "I just think that they are not used to it in BJ. It's like... It's like keeping a dry turtle in the sea. "

Gao Fei knew that this was a serious topic, but he was still amused by Feiyang's metaphor, so he laughed out loud: "You want to say that they are not used to city life, can you change the metaphor."

"I can't help it, I haven't read much, and I can't remember those beautiful words." After turning another corner, he drove back to Gao Fei's new home.

Gao Fei bought a house in Haidian, which is close to universities and colleges, and also has a bookish atmosphere.

Sun Feiyang sent Gao Fei home, and then drove back by himself.

Gao Fei's house is located on the second floor, just right to see the garden, with an elegant environment and a spacious area.He sat on the sofa, looked at the Olympic elements everywhere outside, and looked forward to this grand event belonging to the people of the whole country.

In the past, Westerners used guns to open the gates of the Qing Dynasty.Today, New China welcomes overseas guests with a different appearance and the glory of a great country.

"Ignorant Westerners, it's time to open your eyes and see this giant dragon rising from the sky." Gao Fei held a coffee cup in his hand, filled with hot water and filled with garlic.

Training only occupies the morning, and there is free time in the afternoon.

Gao Fei invited his former teammates and friends to visit scenic spots and took them to experience domestic culture.Because they don't understand Chinese civilization, they can't touch the root thought and thickness, so they just describe it as "Very good".

Candace Parker visited BJ with Gao Fei before, and felt that the situation is different now, there are many more tall buildings than in the previous two years.

"This city is really amazing, it's developing so fast." Candice Parker's praise is slightly different from others.

After all, the game is an episode, and the real challenge is the game.

The paper on the calendar is gradually being torn off, and with the arrival of hot weather, August is approaching quietly.

There are all kinds of auspicious sayings in China, and even numbers can carry this meaning. "6" and "8" are associated with Liuliu Shun and Fa in pronunciation, and have become festive numbers in the minds of many people.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was scheduled at 2008:8 pm on August 8, 8.

As the opening of the Olympic Games draws closer, anticipation is growing day by day.Gao Fei is proud of his identity and can finally feel the feeling of anticipating the Olympics.

He hoped to achieve good results in the opening game, and for this he worked harder than in the professional league.

Not only he is looking forward to it, but all the players in the men's basketball team are looking forward to the Olympics at their doorstep.

Playing an international competition in front of the folks and folks feels different from all the previous games.

The leaders of the Basketball Association are all busy, constantly communicating with the leaders of the men's and women's basketball teams to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

The men's basketball team won the gold medal at the World Championships, and they really want to win this time.They hope to hand in surprising answers.

The team leader is very general and did not put the orders from above on the coaching staff and players, so that they can meet the upcoming game in their own way.

Jingle Bell!
Dayao received a call.

"Yao Ming, I want to choose you as the flag bearer at the opening ceremony, what do you think?" Zhang Yimou is the chief director of the opening ceremony, and has already planned an extremely grand opening ceremony.Yao Ming is the tallest in the Chinese delegation, which can reflect the height of China and is very suitable to serve as the standard bearer.

Dayao didn't expect this glorious task to fall on him, so he readily agreed.He is an athlete, and he is willing to cooperate with the chief director unconditionally.

The citizens of BJ basically let go of other things, and there are discussions about the Olympics in the streets and alleys.

Finally, the opening day came in anticipation.
