79 to 89!
The Dream Nine team finally lost to the Chinese Men's Basketball Team by 10 points and personally brought the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to the top of the world!
The moment the final whistle blew, the entire Ankara Arena was in an uproar.
Not only the Chinese fans present were cheering, but also the Turkish fans at the scene were celebrating wildly.
They witnessed history!
The Greek fans who watched Argentina defeat Dream Team 6 in Athens were also very happy!
And because the Chinese team defeated Türkiye to reach the final, it means they just lost to the world champion, which is even less embarrassing!
The members of the Chinese team also began to rush onto the field to celebrate wildly.
Lin Ying also roared excitedly.
Although the gold content of the World Championships championship cannot be compared with that of the Olympic Games, none of the opponents they defeated were in their strongest condition.
But, if you win, you win!
A champion is a champion!
His original Grand Slam dream, NBA championship and World Championship championship have now been achieved!
And this championship also makes fans look forward to the Olympics two years later.
You might as well be bold and set London’s goal to become an Olympic champion too!
Although the difficulty between the two is not the same, but since you can do it this time, you will have the same chance next time!
"The era of the Chinese men's basketball team has arrived!"
Over at the commentary box, Su Qun was even more bold.
If I don’t say something big, I’d be sorry for this occasion!
…
On the second day of the championship night, each team packed their bags and prepared to return home.
Durant said he planned to stay in Türkiye for two days and asked Lin Ying to accompany him.
So Lin Ying basically spent the past two days wandering around Türkiye with Durant.
"I want to take you to see Romantic Türkiye."
Lin Ying is very familiar with this lyric.
But in fact, Turkey is a *** country. It cannot be said to be romantic, but one thing is right. There are indeed many famous attractions here.
For example, it claims to have witnessed the rise of Eastern Europe. It is equivalent to New York in the United States and Shanghai in China, and is often mistaken for Istanbul, the capital of Turkey.
However, the two of them did not go there, but went to Cappadocia, another tourist resort in Türkiye.
People prefer to get close to nature when they are upset. The landscape of Cappadocia is the most special and is known as the place closest to the moon on the earth.
This is also the filming location of "Star Wars" and the most suitable place for hot air balloons in the world.
Especially when hundreds of hot air balloons take off together, the scene is incredibly spectacular.
Well, the hot air balloon that Lin Ying and Durant took is one of them.
This place is so beautiful.
There are cliffs standing thousands of feet high, folds winding for dozens of miles, and stalagmites and stone pillars like mushrooms, tree stumps, and spires.
The perfect interpretation of "open-air museum".
These are all because this place used to be an active volcano group, and the tuff was washed away by rain to form various landforms.
Because the hot air balloon flies so low, you can take in the beautiful scenery.
They also chatted while watching.
"Lin, let me join the Chinese team!"
These two days of relaxation allowed Durant to vent his emotions, and now he finally spoke out his true thoughts.
"cough!"
Lin Ying coughed.
It's not a good idea to join if you can't beat this one.
Although Durant has joked about joining the Chinese men's basketball team before.
"It's too late."
But Durant said it seriously, and Lin Ying also answered it seriously.
"Too late?"
"This is no longer a question of whether you are willing to join, because according to fiba regulations, after representing other countries in the World Series, you can no longer represent other countries as a naturalized player, and even if there is no such regulation, you will be required to give up.
American citizenship.”
When Durant joked about it before, he had already learned about Fiba's policies on naturalization.
Moreover, China is a country that does not recognize dual nationality. As he said, even without the previous regulation, it would be difficult for Durant to actually do it.
Sure enough, Durant sighed after hearing this.
"Don't be too frustrated, it's just a competition."
Lin Ying saw Durant's depressed state and couldn't help but comfort him.
You can afford to lose. This word that Kobe Bryant used to say is actually very difficult.
Especially for an event held every four years, it is not easy to face it calmly.
But what Durant said next made him a little stunned.
"I have decided not to participate in any competition on behalf of the US men's basketball team. It is not because of the competition. I am not someone who quits because of one loss, but because those people are too much!"
"Those people?"
Lin Ying didn't follow social media, so naturally she didn't know what happened.
But after hearing what Durant said later, he also felt that those people went too far.
Those people naturally refer to the fans in North America.
On the night when the Mengjiu team lost the game, there was an overwhelming amount of abuse mixed with personal attacks.
Durant enjoys the treatment that James decided to have temporarily, and may even be more exaggerated.
Because these people are not complaining because Mengjiu lost the game at all, but more because of the previous trumpet incident.
But what can Durant do? A trumpet incident can be compared to a decision!
And if you go back and look at his complaints, there will be no problem at all!
So from Durant's perspective, he dragged the U.S. team to the finals all by himself, and scored 31 points in the finals, but ended up being the most miserable.
Isn’t this the right thing to do to those who don’t come?
My heart is so cold that it freezes!
But Lin Ying didn't speak.
Originally, according to the normal development of the plot, he should have comforted Durant and said it was not necessary.
But, he couldn't say this.
Let’s talk about a premise first.
Durant no longer represents the United States in the World Series. Is this a personal loss for Durant?
Yes, but the loss is actually not big.
Because things like World Series honors have little value in the American media.
That's more of a personal desire.
Just like the 2021 Japan Olympics in history, it was supposed to be the Olympics where the American men's basketball team took revenge like it did in 2008. In the end, why was only Durant the only super player left?
The national conditions are different, Durant wants to fight more for the fans who support him.
But now that he is fighting for the country for the first time, he has tried his best but was sprayed with blood. How can he have any motivation?
Besides, why couldn't Lin Ying say anything?
Since not participating would not cause much personal loss to Durant, why would he say it?
The Dream Team is missing the fiba nuclear weapon Durant, which is absolutely good news for the Chinese men's basketball team!
Mengba is the most famous for completing his revenge, but if you want to say that the one with the most star power and the strongest strength is Mengshi.
*Dream Team 10 roster: Kobe, James, Durant, Anthony, Paul, Westbrook, Tyson Chandler, Griffin, Harden, Iguodala, Love, Deron William
Mus.
In this Dream Team, Durant averaged 19.5 points per game and is still the scoring leader of that Dream Team!
And don't talk about beating weak teams to increase statistics. He scored 30 points in the final against Spain!
You said that the sudden loss of such a scoring point is a good thing for the men's basketball team?
So there is no need to say this at all.
Of course, Lin Ying did not go out to take the blame. When it comes to fighting for the country, this is a matter of Durant's personal choice.
After talking about basketball, the two naturally talked about women.
Durant has completely come out of the shadow of his previous lovelorn, and he is now completely indifferent to relationships.
Women will only affect the speed at which he shoots the ball.
But this is understandable, there is a wise man's time for this and that.
Then we talked about Lin Ying and Brooke.
Speaking of which, because of summer training and the World Championships, he and Brooke didn't spend much time together this summer, and they seemed to have less contact recently.
"Ying, do you know what my biggest insight was from my last love experience?"
"Um?"
"Whatever you want to gain, you have to give up."
Durant said with emotion.
Lin Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head after hearing this.
Falling in love turns people into philosophers!
But this may be because first love makes people miss it more.
It will be nice to wait for Durant to talk to more people later.
…
After getting off the hot air balloon, Lin Ying and Brooke made a video call.
The relationship between the two is still very strong.
But it may be that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and there is an indescribable feeling.
You should just wait until you return to the United States.
Because he had to attend some activities in China, his return to the United States was a few days later than expected.
By the time I actually saw Brooke, it was already a week later.
In Lin Yingfei's Los Angeles, the two went for a walk on Santa Monica Beach.
While walking, we talked about what happened in the past, and the summer sea breeze was very cool and comfortable.
"Lin, thank you."
After sitting on the long chair where he had been sitting before, Brooke suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Ying was a little confused by this sudden thank you.
"I am ready to return to the UK to develop."
Brooke continued.
"That's a good thing."
Lin Ying had the strange feeling again that she had when she was making video porridge.
"Lin, what I mean is that I am going back to England."
Brooke continued.
"Aren't you coming back?"
Lin Ying finally knew what it was. Like most people, they seemed to have failed to move from the passionate love stage to the next stage.
"It's not your fault. Do you remember what I said before about wanting a child?"
Lin Ying nodded, remembering that it happened half a year ago.
"At that time, I really wanted to have a child, and then we would get married...
But during the time we were apart, one day suddenly I saw the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, and I realized that I am a full 9 years older than you.
It would be too selfish of me to do that when you are still young when I am old."
There was deep love in Brooke's eyes.
"I don't mind. If it were possible, I wouldn't have agreed to it in the first place."
Lin Ying's tone was firm.
Although he has no relationship experience before, he has indeed thought about this issue.
Because as a time traveler, you cannot look at this problem with ordinary people's eyes.
His mental age is about the same as Brooke's.
Since he made the choice in the first place, he was aiming to fall in love and get married.
Age is not an issue.
Hearing this, Brooke couldn't help but hugged Lin Ying tightly.
…
So in the end, we broke up.
After putting Brooke on the plane the next day, Lin Ying was still a little confused.
Although it may be because we haven't seen each other much this past summer, it feels like he hasn't lost anything.
I still feel a little bad when I think about my first love ending like this.
"Kevin, I'm in Los Angeles, come over and drink with me."
One phone call and Durant arrived in Los Angeles in the afternoon.
The two of them found a bar near the sea and drank wine while enjoying the wind.
"What do you think is going on with us? It feels like we are going through the same thing, and everything is told to me a little later than you."
Lin Ying drank a drink and still couldn't help but sigh.
"Ying, do you know what is the most important thing in love?"
Durant seems to have really become a philosopher.
"What?"
"accompany."
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.
This sentence seems to have touched something.
Thinking back on the experience with Brooke, when they could still find time to be together, they were always in love.
But this summer because of summer training and the World Championships, they spent very little time together.
"So I said before, whatever you want to get, you have to give up something."
When Durant said this again, Lin Ying somewhat understood.
They, professional basketball players, are filled with games and training after the season starts.
In addition, they are training freaks and have to practice more, so they have very little time to spare.
Then during the offseason, they still train in the summer and compete in the World Championships, which means they don't have much time to spend with their other half.
If you want to have a good relationship, you have to give up some things, such as summer training with Kobe, such as the World Championships.
However, they will not give up.
"And Ying, don't take it too seriously. As for what Brooke said, didn't she think about it before talking to you? I don't think she just feels that falling in love with you is novel. Falling in love is not getting married. The novelty has passed.
It will fade away if it is gone.”
Damn it, you don’t know how to speak, please speak less, it hurts my heart!
"So what's the point of falling in love? Just have fun and fall in love with the one you like. We're not short of money now. Are we still worried about the lack of women?"
Master, I understand!
However, Enlightenment's direction is not quite right. This is the direction of evolving into a scumbag.
Lin Ying nodded.
It's not that he agrees with what Durant said, but it's not that simple for professional athletes to find a wife.
At least I can't look for actors or anything.
Use his clairvoyance to look around and you will see that the NBA players who end up getting along well are basically women who are relatively weak and need to be relied on.
But any kind of celebrity marriage is not for marriage, it is the most classic stamp collecting operation of the Kardashian family.
Even if you get married, you will basically have to break up in the end. The most classic one is the 72-day wedding of Kim Kardashian and Humphries.
Oh yes, and the tragic experience of Quentin Richardson.
Ah, Q was married to Brandi Norwood back then, but it turned out that Brandi had been married two years ago! He had remarried!
"Your little assistant is pretty good. Didn't he follow you all the time before? You didn't see him much when you went to Phoenix?"
Durant then asked.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I'm single, just focus on the game. I want to defend my title next season!"
Lin Ying did not answer, but thought of Durant's heroic performance after the breakup.
Chapter completed!
