Chapter 180 Start the National Team Career
Inside the "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.
NBA president David Stern is furious and venting his anger.
"Damn! How dare this guy dare? Who gave him the courage?!"
LeBron James, the little emperor that the league has always admired, went to Miami to report to Wade without saying a word.
Just play "brother basketball" with Wade, but I didn't expect that this guy would actually drag Chris Bosh into the water, and together they would form the Heat's Big Three.
When the Heat's Big Three were formed, Stern knew that the league's structure had undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant.
If nothing is stopped, the NBA may be dominated by these three guys in the next few years.
The more Stern thought about it, the more his head hurt.
What a bunch of careless guys!
Just when Stern was furious, he suddenly saw several pieces of news popping up in the computer interface.
"Sun Yi's first-generation sneakers are very popular in China, setting a sales record for a single sneaker!"
"Yao Yao will give his best in the opening game of the new season, and the Mavericks will become one of the favorite teams to win the championship next season!"
"The Thunder have introduced Perkins, a strong interior defensive player, who will hit the playoffs next season!"
"Anthony landed in New York, and the Knicks turned around!"
…
After a quick glance, Stern felt like he had grasped at a life-saving straw and suddenly became enlightened.
"Since you dare to betray me, don't blame me for being cruel!"
After Stern made his plan, he immediately called his assistant and asked him to convene a meeting with the league's top executives.
Not long after, all the top leaders of the alliance arrived and the meeting officially began.
David Stern took the lead in explaining the purpose of the meeting to the league's top management, and then explained his own arrangements.
"LeBron has deviated from the career path we planned for him and is no longer a star that the league is highly promoting. It is time to allocate his resources to other potential new stars."
After hearing this, the league's top executives realized that the president was trying to scare the monkeys by abandoning James and favoring others.
"This is a preliminary list and will be changed later. You can take a look."
After Stern finished speaking, he asked his assistant to send the list to each league executive.
Sun Yi's name is clearly on this list.
After reading the list, all the league executives had no opinions on it.
The players on the list are all rising stars with great potential, and they are likely to threaten James' status in the future.
Seeing that all his subordinates had read the list, Stern continued to describe his plan.
"Next, we will give unconditional support to the four teams of Warriors, Mavericks, Thunder, and Knicks. They are our new force against the Heat."
"Finally, I would like to warn all referees below that Miami Heat players will not receive any star whistle treatment next season, and Heat games will be strictly whistled."
The top leaders of the alliance nodded one after another, saying that they would go all out to implement the Rise of the Stars plan formulated by the president.
Stern smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, asking all the league executives to leave the meeting room to implement their plans.
It can be said that this meeting is of great significance and will have a great impact on the alliance.
At the same time, Sun Yi, who had completed the sneaker signing event, did not know that he had become a member of Stern's star-making plan.
…
…
On July 10, Sun Yi, led by relevant personnel, came to the national team’s temporary base in the capital to report.
"Hi, Sun, I've finally come to expect you. With your joining, we will definitely be able to make a difference in the World Championships."
National team coach Deng Huade quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Sun Yi enthusiastically.
"Mr. Coach, it is an honor for me to join the national team."
Sun Yi was very impressed by Deng Huade's polite words and responded in a friendly manner.
After some pleasantries, Deng Huade took Sun Yi into the arena to conduct some simple physical tests.
Not long after, Deng Huade took Sun Yi's physical test report and was stunned.
On the physical examination report, Sun Yi weighed 108 kilograms.
Although the weight has increased, it has not affected Sun Yi's flexibility.
The height and arm span have not changed. The height is still 203 cm and the arm span is 223 cm.
The physical test data in other aspects are also first-rate.
"Hahaha, thank God, it's great!"
Deng Huade was ecstatic, with a bright smile on his face.
When he learned that Dayao had quit the national team, he refused in his heart, but he never expected that he would encounter the Law of True Fragrance.
"Sun, with your joining, I believe the national team will be able to create the best results in the history of the World Championships!"
What Deng Huade might have said before was a polite word, but now it was what he said from the bottom of his heart.
Deng Huade knew that as long as he got close to Sun Yi's thick thigh, his status in the national team would not be shaken.
Sun Yi did not speak, but nodded in response. He could feel that Deng Huade became more enthusiastic.
After the physical examination, Deng Huade led Sun Yi to the press conference.
When Sun Yi's figure appeared in the interview hall, it immediately caused a sensation.
Looking at the media reporters who were eager to ask questions, Sun Yi felt inexplicably irritated.
These media reporters talk nonsense about people and like to exaggerate and praise young players.
For example, the meme of Ah Lian smiling slightly.
Not long after, the national team's press officer finished his impassioned opening remarks, and the interview officially began.
"Sun Yi, how do you feel about joining the national team?" the reporter asked.
"I am very honored to be a member of the national team and will try my best to play every game." Sun Yi replied with a smile.
"Yao Yao cannot participate in this World Championships. Can you carry the heavy burden on Yao's shoulders?" Media reporters asked again.
After hearing this, Sun Yi frowned slightly, feeling that the reporter who asked the question seemed to have been paid to cause trouble.
"Dayao's status in the national team is unshakable. As a newcomer, I need to watch more and learn more to accumulate game experience." Sun Yi replied modestly.
"Sun Yi, do you think the national team can create the best results in history in this World Championships?"
"You should ask coach Deng Huade about this question. I will cooperate with his arrangements."
Sun Yi threw the blame to head coach Deng Huade, saying that he was just a newbie and didn't know anything.
Deng Huade was also very cooperative and answered the question immediately and flawlessly.
After that, the media reporters asked a few more irrelevant questions, and Sun Yi answered them in a satisfactory manner. The press conference was now coming to an end.
After the press conference, Sun Yi, Deng Huade and some national team staff took the high-speed train to Tianjin to join the China Men's Basketball Team, which was training.
