Chapter 611 The Purest Basketball

In addition to these, there are also many friends from abroad, such as Kobe, Wade and others who have finished the game, Stephen holding a Spanish girl, Hisashi Mitsui who has a blue and white porcelain tooth that represents the culture of the Dragon Kingdom... ...As for Chu Bufan, who was once jokingly called by domestic fans as being full of copper odor, being poisoned by capitalism, and always loving to hug two foreign girls, he is now popular among domestic fans just because he helped Lin Dong and the SuperSonics. His reputation here has also become that of a hero who is free and uninhibited and rides a large ocean horse to win glory for the country, and is talked about by people.

These people have always been active outside the stadium, but they are already familiar to today's Dragon Country fans.

Of course, there are also some ordinary people who are unknown to Dragon Kingdom fans but have a close relationship with Lin Dong.

………………

In the extremely lively scene, the Japanese team had already lined up next to them after a brief introduction and appearance.

It was actually a bit embarrassing when the Japanese team came out just now.

Because even before the game, the media repeatedly guided them, they continued to promote the friendship between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Dong, and promoted that Sakuragi and Rukawa were both heroes of the Sonics and important teammates on Lin Dong's trial road, etc., trying to guide Fans at the scene should not create an 'exclusive' impression on the Chinese nation in front of today's live broadcast and live broadcast around the world.

But frankly speaking, Dragon Kingdom actually has many fans of Hanamichi Sakuragi at this time, and there are many people on the Internet who defend him, but they are just individuals. They are entangled in the historical grievances between the two nations and want to make Dragon Kingdom people. The Japanese team cheered, but that was still a bit too whimsical.

Therefore, when the Japanese team entered the stadium, the applause was quite sparse, and most of it came from some international friends.

Fortunately, there were no boos or embarrassing scenes like the audience throwing water bottles down, making the overall scene look pretty good. This is already the greatest courtesy from the Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, compared to the previous noisy and lively scene, the sudden silence still seemed a bit embarrassing.

When the Dragon Kingdom team came on the stage, the cheers on the scene were in sharp contrast to what they had just been. The whole stadium suddenly started to boil, especially when Lin Dong came on the stage...

——NBA four-time champion, four consecutive FMVPs, and four consecutive scoring champions! Two steals and two DPOYs!

——Asian Championship champion, World Youth Championship champion, World Championship champion, and defeated the strongest captain of the United States in the 2008 Olympics!

——The undefeated king of the NBA, the brightest pearl in the Champions League crown, and the eternal god in the hearts of basketball players in the Dragon Kingdom!

I learned from the NBA's appearance introduction, and shouted it out in a broadcast tone on the spot. Although it was somewhat nondescript, it dispelled the last bit of reserve in this venue.

——Ahhhh! Emperor Lin! Emperor Lin!

——Lin Shuai! Lin Shuai, can I give birth to a child for you? I support you, I don’t want money!

——Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!

It made everyone go crazy and scream at the top of their lungs, so much so that some spectators were carried out because they shouted so excitedly that their brains lacked oxygen...

"Lin Dongjun! Lin Dongjun! Master! Master!" Above the aisle stand, a guy wearing a Xiangyang team uniform was excitedly waving a Xiangyang team flag with the words 'Six Billion Strongest Man Lin Dong' in his hand, rushing into the aisle. Li waved and shouted so hard that he blocked the sight of many people behind him and provoked a lot of curses.

A pretty Japanese lady next to him was so frightened that he quickly grabbed his arm and said worriedly: "Stop shaking Ito, Master Lin Dong can't see it. This is too messy, and you are affecting others..."

"You can see it! Lin Dongjun and I were teammates before, and we even agreed to come to watch him play!" Taku Ito said excitedly, not forgetting to explain to the affected audience in the broken Chinese he learned. .

The young lady said dumbfounded: "There are so many people here, how could they see you... I believe you are not bragging, but you are just high school classmates. We haven't seen each other for many years. Master Lin Dong is afraid that he has forgotten you." Woolen cloth……"

Ito Zhuo smiled awkwardly.

After graduating from high school, he did not go to college. Instead, he inherited his father's confectionery shop. He also often went to the field to play basketball, and he met his girlfriend who was 175 centimeters tall and also loved playing basketball.

So he always likes to brag to his girlfriend that he and Lin Dong were teammates, often played together, and were the only disciple of Lin Dong, but this made his girlfriend laugh.

Although we know that he used to be from Xiangyang and that he and Lin Dong were teammates, that is all in the past. We occasionally talk about it once or twice and everyone still treats it as a joke. We talk about it every day and brag that Lin Dong has tutored you alone. , this is embarrassing.

Can Master Lin Dong have an apprentice as good as you?

It's always depressing to be looked down upon by your girlfriend.

He once told Lin Dong that one day he would take his girlfriend to see him in a professional arena. Lin Dong also smiled and promised that he would definitely say hello to him. Taku Ito has always kept this in mind.

So for this Olympics, Ito Taku bought the two tickets closest to the aisle, and he did not hesitate to spend all the income he earned from two months of hard work making wagashi, just because he wanted to bring his girlfriend to witness this fact.

Ito Zhuo believed in Lin Dong's character. As long as he saw himself, he would definitely say hello to him, but he didn't expect that the scene was so hot that even if his girlfriend talked to him in his ear, he would have to say hello. Yell to be heard.

No matter how loud he shouted, how could Lin Dongjun hear him?

It's over. I'm afraid my girlfriend will think I'm bragging. How embarrassing...

He was embarrassed when he saw a figure trotting out from the aisle with cheers from the whole audience. It was Lin Dong.

What's more, since Ito's seat was close to the aisle, Lin Dong seemed to see him.

Is it Ito Taku?

Lin Dong recognized him at a glance, and in a trance, time seemed to go back to the summer a few years ago, back to the scene when he and Ito Taku were training in Xiangyang Stadium, back to the song "The End of the World", and back to the sentence "Basketball is not only the NBA, but because of people like Ito Taku who love it, basketball has real meaning."

Remembering that Ito once said, "When I bring my girlfriend to the professional arena to watch your game, don't pretend not to know me and embarrass me," Lin Dong ran out, smiled and waved at him, and praised loudly: "Ito-kun is so lucky, his girlfriend is pretty!"

Ito Zhuo was stunned for a moment. The noise in this stadium could affect his hearing of all other sounds, including the voice of his girlfriend in his ears, but the only thing that could not be blocked or affected was Lin Dongjun's voice!

"Who is it?" The audience spread the word around, and then looked around in surprise.

Ito Zhuo's beautiful girlfriend suddenly widened her eyes, and her whole face flushed with excitement.

Nani? !

Beautiful? Did the great Lin Dong just say that Ito's girlfriend is beautiful?

Doesn't that mean he is beautiful!

Oh my God... Ah!

The idol saw me and said I am beautiful! Ah!

The girlfriend was so happy that she almost fainted on the spot.

Ito Taku swallowed hard, and suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Lin Dongjun had not forgotten him, nor had he forgotten the promise he made to him... He got excited, and shouted to his girlfriend: "See, I told you that Lin Dongjun would not forget me!"

Then he waved the flag even harder, forgetting that he was a Japanese, and shouted excitedly and heroically in broken Chinese: "Come on Longguo! Lin Dongjun will win!"

Wearing the Japanese team's jersey but shouting "Come on Longguo, you will win", this weird scene also attracted a group of Longguo people around to point fingers at this East Asian foreigner.

"That guy!"

Not far from the exit of the other side, the Japanese team, which had lined up and was watching Lin Dong, was laughing and crying. Fujima laughed and scolded: "Why did Ito buy a ticket for the tunnel? I didn't see him when I came out just now... He didn't even cheer for us."

"He shouted, but he didn't cheer that hard." Tsuchiya Jun muttered. Although everyone didn't expect to win today, as a Japanese fan, it was too much to cheer for the other side instead of the Japanese team. Although Lin Dongjun was his former classmate, Fujima was also...

"Haha, he is the chief disciple of Brother Gaoren!" Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed and said, "It's worthy of Brother Gaoren!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Brother Gaoren in Mito Yuyu.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when Brother Gaoren beat him to autism in the Hidaka Summer League for the first time.

He thought of Brother Gaoren accompanying him to eat Snickers and seaweed rice rolls in the gym, and thought of Lin's father taking him to Hiroshima to watch Brother Gaoren's national competition.

I thought of the Nike Summit, Lakeside High School, and how I was selected by the SuperSonics with Brother Gaoren.

I thought of my first salary, my first house, my confusion when I first entered the NBA and Brother Gaoren's guidance, and the first NBA Western Conference Finals and Finals...

There are too many memories.

There are three noble people in my life.

The first one is Haruko, who made me fall in love with basketball.

The second one is Dad, who taught me how to play basketball.

The third one is Brother Gaoren, who not only taught me the skills on the court, taught me how to survive on the court, but also taught me how to be a person, taught me what faith is, and taught me too many things!

Scenes of memories flashed through my mind.

"What does it matter if you cheer for us or not?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was already excited: "Just like my dad said, basketball is pure, basketball is happy! Forget those damn wins and losses, and have a hearty contest with Brother Gaoren!"

"Yes, do your best and live up to your youth!"

"Come on!"

The players of the Japanese team also howled, and everyone's face was filled with complete ease and confidence after unloading all the burdens.

Enjoy the game, enjoy basketball!

The two teams shook hands happily and friendly, and took their seats in the rest area with ease and joy, followed by a crisp whistle.

——Beep! Please invite the athletes to come out!

On the Dragon Country side, because they fought too hard against the American team, especially in the last quarter, Yao Ming, Sun Yue and others were a little overdrawn. Even after two days of recuperation, their current state is probably not at their peak.

Therefore, in today's final, Dragon Country actually sent out their signature five-small lineup right from the start.

Point guard Chen Jianghua, shooting guard Xu Yong, small forward Lin Dong, power forward Zhu Fangyu, center Yi Jianlian.

Although this lineup is slightly inferior to Japan, which has Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mori Shigehiro, it is much better than Japan in terms of offensive strength and overall speed.

The Japanese team also sent out the starting five, which is considered to be the strongest lineup in their history.

Point guard Akira Sendō, shooting guard Kaede Rukawa, small forward Eiji Sawabita, power forward Hanamichi Sakuragi, and center Shigehiro Mori!

With an NBA superstar, an NBA quasi-All-Star, and three Champions League All-Stars, the lineup is already the pinnacle of the Japanese team.

beep!

The five tigers on both sides were in place, and it was Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi who were responsible for jumping the ball.

After all, in the current lineup of Long Guo, although Yi Jianlian is the tallest, as Lin Dong's special request, coupled with the sense of relaxation for this game, whoever jumps the ball will not look so good to Long Guo. It's important.

The two men took up positions within the center coil.

"Hi! Come on, brother." Lin Dong smiled and greeted Sakuragi Hanamichi: "I'll give you a chance to beat me."

win?

Sakuragi Hanamichi was stunned for two or three seconds before he came to his senses.

Brother Gao Ren is not the kind of person who would let loose in a game. If he said that he was giving himself a chance to beat him, it would definitely not mean that he would win the game. He was referring to a jump ball...

209 centimeters compared to Takato's brother's 201 centimeters. Their bounces are basically the same, and his wingspan is slightly longer. In addition, Sakuragi is specialized in the art, so Sakuragi is really not afraid of this.

However, is this voice-over also saying that Japan will definitely lose this game?

After Sakuragi was stunned, he grinned: "Why do you need to work hard? Although you are an expert, but it's not enough for me to have the skills to jump ball or something like that?"

"Are you sure it's really that easy?" Lin Dong said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that I also played inside when I was at Rigao?"

"Hidaka is Hidaka, now is now!" Sakuragi Hanamichi became proud.

I can’t compare to Brother Gao in terms of scoring, I can’t compare to Brother Gao in terms of field control, and I can’t compare to Brother Gao in jumping ball? What a waste of life!

No matter how almighty you are, there is no such thing as almighty.

"If I lose this ball, at any restaurant in Yanjing tonight, you pick the place and order the food, and I'll treat everyone from both teams to a feast!"

Due to several offseason trainings, the relationship between Sakuragi and the Dragon Kingdom national team is also quite strong, and they are very familiar with each other.

Lin Dong laughed: "It seems that you are very confident."

"Hahaha!" Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed, but at the same time he was already keeping an eye on the ball in the referee's hand and the whistle in his mouth.

A rare opportunity, a rare opportunity to 'win' against a master brother, how could you give it up? !

"After all, I am a genius!"

He responded smoothly.

beep!

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the basketball high into the air.

"Mine!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes suddenly shined with blazing fire.

"Dream!" Lin Dong's bent legs were already ready to go.

I said I was giving him a chance, but I didn’t mean to let him win!

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Dong, who were already ready to attack, suddenly jumped up and stretched their two slender hands into the air at the same time.

Not fighting for fame, not fighting for profit, not fighting for glory, not even fighting for the outcome of this game.

Just fighting for that basketball of pure joy that shines under the light of the roof lights!
