Chapter 392 Bronze Medal + Dayao Studying Abroad

Chapter 392 Bronze Medal + Dayao Studying Abroad

On the 29th, the last day of the women's basketball group stage.

The men's basketball team went to cheer for the women's basketball team. Unfortunately, the women's basketball team failed to win the last group match, failed to reach the top eight, and was eliminated.

That afternoon, Mutombo rushed to Atlanta and gave Lao Wang an invitation letter from the Georgetown University basketball team.

Georgetown University has trained many NBA stars, such as the newly released No. [-] pick Iverson, Mutombo, Ewing, Mourning, etc., and is good at training centers, so he chose this university.

But now he hasn't notified Dayao's family, let's talk about it when he returns home.

On the 30th, the quarter-finals of the men's basketball team began, and four knockout games were to be played in one day.

In the two games in the morning, the US team eliminated Brazil in the first game, and Yugoslavia eliminated the Litao Bowl in the second game. No.1 of the two groups successfully reached the semi-finals.

In the afternoon, Croatia vs. Greece, China vs. Australia.

As a result, there was no upset. Although Greece was strong, it was still defeated by the more powerful Croatia.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, China's first elimination began.

At 05:30, the game ended, and the men's basketball bench was full of joy. The Chinese team won by 18 points and reached the semi-finals.

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "You played really well. Congratulations to the men's basketball team. Relying on the overall strong strength, they defeated Australia. The men's basketball team has achieved unprecedented results and reached the top four in the Olympic Games."

Sun Zhenping said even more excitedly: "Tiejun is too strong. Australia implemented the strictest double-teaming for him in advance, and he used the sharpest pass to assist his outside teammates. Australia chose one-on-one, and he directly crushed the opponent's score. He is the biggest contributor to the men's basketball team's reaching the top four."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "If you want to say that the men's basketball team is really good, the outside line is very strong, fast, accurate three-pointers, dexterous and fast, and the addition of Tie Jun makes up for the weakness of the center position. One plus one is greater than two, and the strength of the men's basketball team has risen to a big level.

He played well today, except that he made a lot of outside turnovers, 18 times. If Tie Jun hadn't controlled the rebounds and sent out 6 blocks, the outcome would be unpredictable! "

The men's basketball team reached the top four, and the whole country was full of joy, which was more influential than winning a gold medal in other sports.

Next, Chinese people are looking forward to the performance of the men's basketball team, so they naturally think of the brand.

Yes, gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals, even if you only get a bronze medal, it is a great victory for the men's basketball team.

The expectations of one billion Chinese people represent infinite pressure, so the psychological pressure of the entire men's basketball team came up immediately. After the group stage, it was actually quite relaxed because the task was completed, but now it has increased tenfold all at once.

The final is on the [-]th. On the day the Olympics ends, the semi-finals will be on the [-]nd, with a day off in between to adjust the state.

No. [-], fight cross battles, and determine the rankings from five to eight.

On the morning of the [-]nd, the men's basketball team had a meeting. Not only Director Yuan from the Sports Committee arrived, but Director Wu also arrived.

Liu Yumin first introduced the situation of the opponents in the semi-finals. The opponent is No.1 Yugoslavia in Group B.

"If you win, everyone is happy; if you lose, no one will blame you. You have tried your best." Director Wu first set the tone, which was a huge burden for the men's basketball team.

"Unload the burden and fight with all your strength." Yuan Ju encouraged.

At this moment, Lao Wang didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. The whole country was watching the game. If he lost the game, it would be troublesome.

At noon, the match between the Chinese team and Yugoslavia began.

Unfortunately, the final overall strength is still not as good as the opponent, and the men's basketball team stopped in the semifinals.

But the score gap is not big, 83:94, lost by 11 points.

Still, there were 21 outside turnovers, and a large number of ball possessions were lost, which was the biggest reason for losing the game.

The main point guard, Li Xiaoyong, has no effective substitute. He has played the most minutes in the team since the Olympics. He made 15 turnovers in this game.

While the game was still going on, Gong Lumin regretted expulsing Adijiang very much. Otherwise, Adijiang and Li Xiaoyong would play in rotation, and the result might be completely different.

The elimination of the men's basketball team did not disappoint the Chinese people too much. After all, the top four are already the best results in history.

That night, the semi-finals between Dream Three and Croatia began. In the end, Dream Three won by a big margin and reached the final.

At noon on the [-]rd, the Chinese team competed with Croatia for the third and fourth place.

This game is quite critical and failed to reach the final, but as long as they win Croatia, they can also get a bronze medal.

Croatia is the opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage. They lost 6 points, and their strength should be close. Therefore, the men's basketball team still has confidence. As long as the opponent's three-pointer does not explode, the chance of winning is there.

Because of this, Chinese people have great expectations for this brand.

In order to encourage the men's basketball team, as last time, Director Wu Da and Director Yuan both came to the men's basketball team's residence in the Olympic Village to give condolences and guidance, and relieved the burden of the men's basketball team.

Athletes from various sports of the delegation also went to the arena to cheer for the men's basketball team, and most of the Olympic champions appeared in the audience.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the game has been going on for an hour and a half. After three quarters, at 79:71, the Chinese team led by 8 points.

Although Croatia's touch today is not as hot as the group stage, they made 17 of 7 three-pointers and still reached a very high 41%. This is one of the important reasons why they can bite the score.

For the men's basketball team, arrange four players who are good at shooting suddenly, and let Wang Tiejun single-handedly fight the opponent inside.

最后一场比赛，王铁军不惜体力全力一拼，三节没有1分钟休息时间，20投12中，命中率达到了60%，8罚5中，拿到了29分10篮板5助攻1抢断4盖帽2失误2犯规的数据。

Relying on his size and strength, Croatia implemented a tight double-team defense against him, double-teaming in advance, weak side defense, area flanking, whatever method works, and all [-] methods can only limit his efficiency to [-]%.

The offense at the other four positions was not bad. They scored 50 points and showed great strength, but they couldn't control their mistakes and lost some possession of the ball.

"Tie Jun, why don't you rest for 2 minutes in the final quarter?" Jiang Xinquan asked.

The reason why I asked was just to be polite. At this most critical moment for the bronze medal, as the core, Wang Tiejun actually had to play. If he was too tired to run, he would walk and play. Otherwise, not only him, but also the coaching staff were responsible for losing the game.

Lao Wang certainly understands this. He doesn't take much rest in the NBA playoffs, let alone the national team game?Wiping off his sweat, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have no problem with the 10-minute game."

Gong Lumin was arranging tactics, and said: "In the last quarter, we still use the basic tactics of positional warfare and defensive counterattack, focusing on stability."

The inter-section break is over, the last quarter begins, and the Chinese team attacks.

Croatia played a [-] zone defense in front of it, and now it still insists on a [-] zone defense.

This kind of zone defense is very flexible, and it is the most basic formation of zone defense. It can be changed into other formations. As long as the person in the middle rises up, it can become a three-two zone defense, and if it sinks down, it will immediately become a two-three zone defense.

But in this formation, the frontal defense against the top of the arc is very good, but the defense on the two wings is a bit empty, so the offense of the men's basketball team today basically starts from the two wings, and it is the same this time.

Li Xiaoyong is no longer the main player. He really can't run anymore. His legs have been cramped several times. Wu Qinglong takes the place of No. [-]. As the most famous attacking guard in China, he can also be called the number one offensive guard in Asia.

The second position is Hu Weidong, the third position is Zheng Wu, and the fourth position is Gong Xiaobin. The three outsiders are all good at shooting, and the fourth position is not weak.

Gong Xiaobin is known as the free king, with comprehensive skills. He used to play football with very good pace, but he has a weakness when facing Croatian players, which is not enough height.

He is only 200 centimeters, 13 centimeters shorter than the opponent's power forward. With his wingspan included, the height difference is about [-] centimeters. Playing a low attack will take up the space of Lao Wang, and the efficiency will not be too high. There is no way out among a group of tall men.

So the main task assigned to him is to pull away. He also has a basket, and he is also good at three-pointers, which can be used as a shooter.

And his speed is fast, the 11 meters can reach 3 seconds at the peak period, and he can play fast breaks.

The ball was given in first, and Wang Tiejun was two meters away. When he caught the ball, the double-team from Croatia had already reached one step away, and the double-team from the weak side had already reached the basket.

He turned around, and with the momentum of the turn, he threw the ball with his left hand, and the ball flew from beyond the baseline to Gong Xiaobin in the right corner.

Gong Xiaobin caught the ball open, and had time to weigh the ball before making a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, three-pointers.

"Beautiful! Now the point difference has widened to double digits, and the bronze medal is waving to us! Everyone must calm down and play well in the last quarter." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.

But looking back, Croatia also threw a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to eight points. This time, Lao Wang scored again and gave it to Zheng Wu.

"boom!"

Facing the defender's quick return to defense, Zheng Wu made a false shot, dribbled the ball once, and then made a sudden stop for a jumper, but unfortunately missed.

"and also!"

Sun Zhenping gave a loud shout.

"boom!"

In the next moment, Pharaoh, who rushed to the back of Croatian center No. 6, took off vigorously. With his better bounce and wingspan, he pushed the ball into the basket through a person.

The No. 6 center jumped up to grab a rebound, was hit and sunk by Lao Wang from the air, landed staggered forward, fell to the floor, broke his nose directly, his face was covered in blood, and was replaced.

This is also the third Croatian player to be injured. The first two were also injured by Pharaoh. One was a backup center who was hit by his back and injured his back muscle.

With the injury of the main center forward, there is no main small forward in front, and the morale of Croatia, which is already behind, is getting lower and lower, and finally lost the game.

"what!"

After the game, the men's basketball team was full of joy.

"Bronze Medal! Bronze Medal! Bronze Medal! Congratulations to the men's basketball team, you have won the Olympic bronze medal..." Zhang Reasonable shouted excitedly.

"Great! This is the best result in the history of men's basketball, a bronze medal, haha, this is a huge breakthrough..." Sun Zhenping laughed excitedly.

"call!"

Looking at the team members rushing over to celebrate, Lao Wang heaved a sigh of relief, and then the excitement of winning the bronze medal took over all his emotions.

Although it is only a bronze medal, it is not easy to get, and he cherishes it very much.

The strength of this national team is actually really good, but it is a pity that it cannot go any further. If we want to achieve better results, we can only look forward to the future.

The system rewarded 500 points for this bronze medal, and now he still has 800 points for spare.

In addition, the US team finally won the championship.

After the men's basketball game ended, Wang Tiejun also won a personal honor, becoming the best player in the Olympic men's basketball team, which allowed him to get another 500 points reward.

On the [-]th, after attending the closing ceremony, Wang Tiejun ended his first Olympic journey.

In this Olympics, he gained a lot.

In the past, no matter how successful he was in the NBA, he only represented individuals and professional teams, and had nothing to do with the country, or even domestic basketball fans, but this time is different. After winning the bronze medal, his reputation in the domestic sports circle and his influence among basketball fans have also risen to a higher level, and they have more recognition for him.

On the [-]th, the men's basketball team boarded the plane back home. On the [-]th, they arrived in Shanghai at [-]:[-] a.m., changed planes at [-]:[-] a.m., and landed in the capital at [-]:[-] a.m.

In the following time, Wang Tiejun trained, rested, and took care of his wife step by step, preparing for the birth of his son.

The training time of plum blossom step has been extended, and he wants to improve his footwork to the fourth level as soon as possible, but there is no sign of advancement.

In mid-September, Dazhi and Hu Weidong suddenly came to their door, saying that an NBA team had invited them to try out.

Old Wang wasn't surprised, and didn't ask which team it was. He just asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"

The two stared blankly, and looked at each other with anticipation and bewilderment in their eyes.

"Old Hu, you are 26 and cannot participate in the draft. If you want to play in the NBA, you can only join the team directly. You have just played in the CBA for a year, and you have a contract. If you want to go to the United States, you have to deal with the contract first." Lao Wang said.

Hu Weidong hesitated again, not knowing what to do.

When the CBA was established last year, Aoshen hired him with an annual salary of 40 yuan. At that time, he was only paid 10 yuan in the Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team, but he was trained there. In the end, he chose to stay.

Now that he really wants to leave Jiang, the Su men's basketball team goes to the United States, and hesitates again.

Lao Wang smiled and said: "Look at you, I haven't thought it through myself, and I can't help you, you can come back after you think it through..."

Old Hu secretly sighed and nodded.

Lao Wang said to Dazhi again: "You are 19 years old and you want to enter the league through the draft. This trial training invitation is not very important. As long as you really want to participate in the draft, I can introduce you to some teams for trial training.

But your problem is more troublesome, not only have to deal with system problems like Lao Hu.You are still a soldier, can August [-] let you go? "

Dazhi froze, lowered his head and did not speak.

Old Wang said helplessly, "Director Liu has discussed this issue with me before, and she has no objection, but you have to solve your own team and other problems. She can't help you, and the sports committee can't help you."

It's like he is going to leave the Suns, either finish his contract, trade, or retire, there is no fourth way.

The contract is not signed for nothing. If you want to pursue your future, who will guarantee my interests?

……

At the end of September, Yu Feihong's parents asked for leave and came to the capital.

On October 10st, the National Day, Lao Wang went to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony in the morning. At noon, Yu Feihong had a stomach attack and was immediately admitted to Xiehe Gynecology Department.

The delivery went smoothly, and when it was close to twelve o'clock in the evening, the son was born, and the delivery was smooth, and he had just weighed eight catties.

The name has been arranged a long time ago, the generation named Tie is under the generation named Zhen, the name is Wang Zhenyong, who was chosen by his grandfather, and the nickname Dabao, who was born by his grandmother.

After the son was born, the household registration was the same as that of the father, and the household registration was originally borrowed. After a few days, Lao Wang ran back to his hometown with his birth certificate and got his household registration.

From the end of August, Da Ya Er Ya began to receive admission letters from many universities in the United States.

Lao Wang originally thought that he could contribute some money to a school for his two sisters to study abroad, so as to get two places to study abroad to show his ability, but now it seems that he doesn't need it at all.

In the end, the two sisters chose Stanford University.

"It will be great if our Dabao has two aunts who are half as smart in the future." Looking at the admission notices from prestigious schools all over the table, Yu Feihong said with envy and anticipation on his face.

"What are you talking about? My IQ is not low, is it? My son will definitely not be smart in the future, no, he will not be stupid."

After saying the wrong thing, Lao Wang was a little embarrassed, and then asked suspiciously: "Xiao Fei, what are you doing with all the notices that the eldest sister and second sister don't want?"

"I want to use these notices to motivate Dabao when he grows up."

Yu Feihong looked down at his son who was sleeping soundly in the cradle next to him. His small arms and legs were thick and powerful, and he was especially edible. He looked very much like Lao Wang, and he looked a little silly. He felt that there was little hope, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, there is a high probability that his limbs will be well developed. Let him work in the sports industry in the future. He should have a better future."

Lao Wang is very helpless, there is still a sense of expectation in life, why don’t you look forward to it, and isn’t it good to have well-developed limbs?

Next, Wang Tiejun is going back to the United States. He has booked a plane ticket on the 15th and will leave with his elder sister and second sister. Yu Feihong will stay in China for a while, and will go there after Dabao grows up.

In addition, before leaving, he suddenly remembered that there was one thing he hadn't done. He had forgotten about Dayao, so he contacted Yao's family that night.

Hearing this news, the Yao family was in a panic.

There was no preparatory news before. The CBA is about to start, and Dayao is ready to sign a professional contract with the Sharks. Now he is asked to go to the United States to study in college and play in the NCAA. He is not psychologically prepared at all.

"That's all for today. Your family will think about it and let me know when you have the result. It's just two days." Lao Wang hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

"How to do?"

The family of three looked at me and I looked at you, and couldn't make a decision for a while.

Dayao had just turned 16 years old, and he didn't have his own ideas, so he couldn't make up his own mind, so he looked at his parents in bewilderment, not knowing what to do?

But he was really looking forward to it. After hearing about the NCAA at the summer camp last year, he collected relevant information intentionally or unintentionally. He was very interested in the college basketball league and hoped to have the opportunity to improve his basketball level there.

Fang Fengdi and Yao's father stared wide-eyed. After more than thirty seconds of silence, they spoke almost simultaneously.

"Sell the house." Dad Yao said with a bitter face.

"Sell the house." Fang Fengdi said at the same time.

The two were startled after finishing speaking, glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time.

Whether to study abroad or to go to NCAA does not seem to be a problem. Wang Tiejun gave Dayao this opportunity, and they would not refuse it. It is just a headache for the cost of studying abroad, but it is related to Dayao's future, and they will go after selling the house.

"Where do you live after selling the house? I won't go." Dayao disagreed.

"Is it your turn to make the decision? Don't interrupt when your lord is talking." Fang Fengdi gave Yao a slight look.

"Oh."

Dayao immediately lowered his head.

"It's okay, Dayao, the house at home is sold, and your mother and I can live in the work dormitory." Father Yao patted Dayao on the head and said with a smile.

Dayao's eyes were red, his parents were so old, and they asked them to live in the unit's dormitory separately, he really didn't want to go.

At this time, the phone at home suddenly rang again.

"Hello? Oh, it's Iron Army..."

Fang Fengdi picked up the phone and heard Wang Tiejun's voice again.

"Senior, I forgot to say just now, you don't have to worry about the expenses of Dayao's study abroad. I have held two summer camps in China, and I haven't found a few good center forwards. I will definitely not let a good one go. I will fund his expenses."

"What? What, what are you doing?" Fang Fengdi hurriedly said.

"Haha, it's a small matter. He plays in the NCAA over there, and he also has a scholarship. The school team is responsible for the food and lodging. In fact, it doesn't cost much. With his talent and hard work, it is a matter of course for him to play in the NBA in the future, so you don't need to worry about money." Wang Tiejun laughed.

"Tie Jun, thank you so much, you see that you gave Dayao the opportunity to study abroad, and you contributed so much effort and money..."

"Senior, let's not talk politely. It's no trouble for me. It's just a few phone calls. By the way, you probably have decided it?"

"It's decided."

"That's okay. I'm going back to the United States on the 15th. You can make arrangements as soon as possible. Dayao and I will go there together."

"All right, Tie Jun, Dayao will be counting on you."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Fengdi told the story, Yao's father and Dayao both laughed.

"Dayao, when you go to the United States, you must listen to your brother Tiejun, respect him as an elder, and play hard there..."

Next, the Yao family started to prepare, packed their luggage, and then contacted the Shark Club.

The affairs of the club were simple. Dayao hadn't signed a professional contract yet, and he was going to study abroad. The club trained him for nothing, but he couldn't force him to stay. It's just that he must have a bad face, but he couldn't care less about it at this time.

On the 14th, Dayao's family of three rushed to BJ.

Fang Fengdi brought a large bag of snacks from Shanghai as gifts, as well as some children's clothes and toys, which Wang Aiguo and Yu Feihong really liked.

"Dayao, how's your English?" Old Wang asked.

"Oh, brother Tiejun, it's okay, it's okay."

Dayao Yijiong, I know it, but it doesn't know me very well, that's about it.

"Snapped!"

Fang Fengdi patted Dayao and scolded with a smile: "If you can't, then you won't. What's okay? Why are you lying to Brother Tiejun?"

Dayao sighed in embarrassment: "You can still speak simple words like a dog touching you."

"Haha, then hurry up and learn, and don't worry, you can learn quickly in that English environment." Old Wang encouraged after laughing.
