At 10:30 p.m., the 2008 Beijing Olympic Men’s Basketball Awards Ceremony officially begins!
Chen Yan followed the team to the center of the field, and he clearly felt his heart pounding!
This is an unprecedented excitement. He has worked hard throughout the Olympics for this moment.
"Hey! Chen, this time I am standing on the championship podium."
After the members of the championship, second and third place teams stood still, Kobe took the initiative to talk to Chen Yan.
Kobe's tone was arrogant. He was very competitive and wanted to compete with his opponents all the time.
Chen Yan laughed loudly after hearing this: "I hope you can still smile and say such things after the playoffs next season, old man."
While the two were bickering, the medal was taken to the center of the field by the staff.
Amid the huge cheers from the fans, all the teammates of the Chinese men's basketball team jumped onto the third place podium!
"Kakakakakaka!"
The flashlights in the arena flashed crazily, and history seemed to be frozen at this moment!
Chen’s parents and Chen’s mother were also in the audience waving the national flag to cheer for their son. Both of them were very excited. There is nothing more proud than seeing their son wearing the national jersey and standing on the Olympic podium!
Du Xiaoshuai, who was far away across the ocean, felt very complicated when he saw this scene. After watching the final of the Dream Team, Durant also watched the Olympic men's basketball award ceremony.
When I think of my former teammates, the guys who entered the NBA at the same time have already stood on the Olympic podium, but I can't even reach the threshold of the national team, I can't help clenching my fists.
Damn jealousy!
But Xiaoshuai has no ill intentions towards Chen Yan's jealousy, he simply wants to catch up and surpass him.
If Xiaoshuai really hates a person, he will cut his account and go online to hack him...
NBA President David Stern was also watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony in front of the TV. He was not only concerned about Mengba, he also paid attention to Chen Yan's performance in the Olympics. It can be said that Chen Yan's performance made David Stern
Stern is excited. After the Olympic men's basketball game, David Stern is even more convinced that Chen Yan will become an iconic figure in the NBA in the modern era and can become a bridge between American basketball and Chinese, Asian and even world basketball!
Thousands of words condensed into one sentence, I will continue to support Chen Yan next season!
Standing on the podium, Chen Yan took out the digital camera he had prepared in advance.
Chen Yan is different from Mr. Guan Xi. His camera will only record the good life and his own moments of honor.
Looking at the raised national flag and the playing of the national anthem, Chen Yan's originally steady hands couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, all the national pride and collective sense of honor surged into his heart!
Chen Yan touched the national flag logo on his chest, looked at the championship podium in the middle, and swore secretly.
This is where I will stand next time!
"Let's all work hard to stand on a higher podium in the next Olympics!" The next second, Dayao shouted out Chen Yan's heartfelt voice.
After listening to Dayao's words, the Chinese men's basketball players reacted very strongly. They did not simply regard these words as encouragement. They believed that the Chinese men's basketball team could really do it, at least it had such potential!
Before the start of the Olympic Games, outsiders predicted that the limit of the Chinese men's basketball team would be the quarterfinals. Now the Chinese men's basketball team not only broke the limit but also came back with a medal.
Confidence is accumulated from continuous victories. Now the confidence of the Chinese men's basketball team has reached an unprecedented height. They are worthy of any opponent in the world.
Although Dayao shouted out his heroic words, Chen Yan was still very worried about his health.
While the championship and runner-up awards were being presented, Chen Yan and Dayao started chatting.
"Brother Yao, has the weight loss plan started?" Chen Yan suggested more than once that Dayao change his playing style. He urgently hoped that Dayao would change. In his previous life, Dayao was reimbursed in the 2009-10 season due to physical overload.
Announced retirement in year.
"You want me to lose weight so much. I wonder if you want me to lose weight on purpose so that you can dunk on me in the NBA?" Dayao said jokingly.
After hearing this, Chen Yan also laughed and said: "I generally don't like dunks. Such violent things are not suitable for me."
Dayao's eyebrows twitched slightly after hearing this. If he hadn't witnessed Chen Yan leaping over Kaman in the group stage, he would have almost believed it.
After a few jokes, the two began to chat seriously. Dayao lowered his voice and said: "I have already discussed the weight loss plan with the team. They are very supportive of me, but I guess the Rockets will not agree. Losing weight means that
As a result, my lethality in the paint decreases."
Dayao had never considered losing weight before. After this Olympics, his thoughts changed. He discovered that he could win games as a support space insider for the national team.
After hearing this, Chen Yan immediately said: "The team only cares about profit and record, but our own body knows best."
Dayao nodded in agreement: "Losing weight will reduce the threat to the data, but the career life will definitely be extended. I also want to compete in another Olympics."
Yao saw hope and potential in the Chinese team at this Olympics, so he is looking forward to the next Olympics.
After hearing this, Chen Yan laughed and said: "As long as you have the idea of losing weight, the team will definitely compromise in the end. If you don't compromise, come to the Suns. We can cooperate like we did during the Olympics."
Dayao also laughed: "It's okay to lose weight and change your playing style. Just go to the Suns. You guys are playing fast. I'm afraid that I will tire myself to death before my opponent is exhausted."
"Hahaha!" Chen Yan laughed out loud.
Dayao is very humorous and every interaction with him is very joyful.
After the award ceremony, Dayao reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Yan. Chen Yan's teammate experience card has temporarily expired.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission and earning honor points: 50."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission and obtaining the skill [Spiritual Leader]."
After the reward arrived, Chen Yan opened the system and prepared to add a wave of rewards to reward himself.
During this period of the Olympic Games, he used [Status Improvement Card] in almost every game, so the total number of honor points he accumulated was not many, and now there are only 165 points in total.
Chen Yan was extravagant and spent 100 honor points in exchange for 2 [95]-[99] attribute points to add to the three points.
After adding 2 attribute points, Chen Yan's three-point ability reached [99], which is also the current system's full-level attribute!
According to the introduction of the system, when the value of a certain attribute reaches [99] points, there will be a qualitative leap. Even the attribute value of [98] is very different from [99], so Chen Yan’s honor point can be said to be
The money spent is quite worth it.
After adding points, I made a phone call with Swift. Swift watched the live broadcast of the award ceremony on TV. She really wanted to come to Beijing to watch Chen Yan compete, but unfortunately she happened to have a concert during this time. Chen Yan
I also understand that Swift is still career-focused at this age.
As expected, Chen Yan was able to catch up with Swift's last few concerts when he returned to the United States. Swift invited Chen Yan over the phone to be a guest and sing on the same stage. Chen Yan decisively agreed, and if the two of them performed on the same stage at the concert, it would be a gimmick
Definitely enough.
Chen Yan has not performed on stage since the last All-Star Game, and his throat is a bit itchy. You must know that singing is also his personal hobby. It would be wonderful to perform on a stage of the size of a concert.
Chen Yan fell asleep while chatting. He was too tired during this period. There was a high-intensity game in two days and almost every game was played. Even if he is a superman, he needs to rest.
Early the next morning, Chen Yan was woken up by a call from his agent. After his trip to the Olympics, Chen Yan's popularity had reached the level of a household name in China. Many businesses wanted Chen Yan to endorse him, even though his endorsement fees had already been paid.
The price has skyrocketed.
This made the brands that had previously signed Chen Yan feel like they were getting a huge bargain.
Some domestic and foreign health care product companies have found Chen Yan's agent Bill Duffy. Chen Yan's explosive power and shooting range are in line with their brand needs.
Bill Duffy wanted to refuse directly, but they offered too much, so he called Chen Yan to ask for his opinion.
Chen Yan decisively turned down this endorsement. He is now very popular among the people, and his reputation and image are more important than the short-term gains in front of him.
Although Chen Yan is still on a rookie contract, he is really not short of money. His brilliant performance in the Olympics has brought the sales of his signature shoes to a higher level. He can make a lot of money from this alone, let alone more.
Mention other endorsement income.
Li Ning also attaches great importance to Chen Yan. His second-generation sneakers [Yan 2] began to be developed as early as three months ago, and they hired legendary designer Pete Moore, who once designed aj1 and Adidas three stripes.
After the Olympics, Chen Yan will stay in Beijing for three days. It is not just for sightseeing. He also has many endorsement ads that need to be filmed, including the Yili commercial co-produced with the fairy sister.
A combination of handsome men and beautiful women. Their cooperation inevitably spreads scandals, and many netizens even started talking about CP.
But the two of them have their own sense of proportion, and they maintain a good distance both on and off the court, making those rumors self-defeating.
Three days later, Chen Yan contacted Dayao again, this time it was not about basketball.
Chen Yan has always been concerned about the earthquake-stricken areas some time ago. After the Olympics, he finally had time, so he followed Dayao and the team of "Yao Foundation" to go to the disaster-stricken areas for disaster relief.
The two held a basketball charity match and also held a fan meeting.
This is the best way a basketball player can give back to the fans.
During the meeting, a little boy caught Chen Yan's attention. He was 14 years old, and his height and build were much higher than those of his peers. However, it was not these that caught Chen Yan's attention. It was the fact that he burst into tears as soon as he saw Chen Yan.
It looks like a handful.
This made Chen Yan a little overwhelmed.
"Chen Yan, I am your fan. Before the earthquake, I played every game you played."
"Thank you." Chen Yan said very sincerely, and he could feel the enthusiasm of this young fan.
"Can you sign your name for me?"
"certainly!"
After Chen Yan finished speaking, the young fan took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The disaster destroyed his home, and his jersey, sneakers and everything related to basketball were buried in the rubble.
"Sorry, I can't sign here." Chen Yan said after looking at the crumpled paper.
The young fans immediately looked disappointed after hearing this.
Chen Yan immediately turned to the accompanying staff and got a jersey and sneakers: "But I can sign it here."
After hearing this, the little fan's eyes shone again.
"Can you write a message of encouragement for me? You are my idol, and I want to compete in the NBA like you!"
"Of course, what's your name?" Chen Yan asked.
"Zhao Chen."
"Which chen?"
"Chen of the stars."
Chen Yan paused after hearing this. The name seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...
Without thinking too much, Chen Yan picked up a pen and wrote this sentence on the jersey: "The key to a wonderful life is what you can be obsessed with. Come on Zhao Chen, pursue your dreams!"
