Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 91
On December 12, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves with "21:103" in the away game and achieved two consecutive victories. The players gradually came out of the haze of the disastrous defeat to the Bulls.

Next, they are about to prepare for the "Christmas War" with the Phoenix Suns on December 12.

The NBA's "Christmas War" has always attracted much attention, mainly because Christmas is the biggest festival in Western countries, which is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.

Before Christmas officially arrives, the streets of Los Angeles are decorated with lights and festoons, and there are many Christmas trees, creating a joyous and peaceful atmosphere.

Celebrating the holidays in a foreign land is not a good feeling. As the saying goes, "Being alone in a foreign land is a stranger, and you miss your relatives during the festive season", and Zhou Yu is the same.

"What, are you homesick?"

Wang Hui put her hand on Zhou Yu's shoulder and said softly.

"Well, I really want to."

Zhou Yu stared blankly at the colorful lights outside the window, finally regained his composure and nodded.

"President Stern has already called me. He said that the negotiation of holding the 'Christmas War' in China has been completed, and you will soon return to the embrace of the motherland."

Wang Hui said with a smile.

"Can I go back and compete?"

Zhou Yu asked cautiously.

"Of course you can. The Chinese Basketball Association didn't mention your matter too much. It just hopes that this competition can promote the development of Chinese basketball."

Wang Huidao.

"Thank you, Xiaohui, for giving me the opportunity to return to China this time."

Zhou Yu said excitedly.

"Thank you, I'm not thinking about the interests of the company. To tell you the truth, although I try my best to promote the sporting goods produced by the company, the results are still not great. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to open up the domestic market. .”

Wang Hui felt unwilling to say.

"Why, didn't I, O'Neill and Kobe jointly make an endorsement advertisement for the company? Why is this still the case?"

Zhou Yu was a little puzzled.

"Honey, you don't understand the United States too much, and you don't understand the market economy too much. The "racism" in the United States is relatively serious. Although you have made a little name in the NBA, in the eyes of the Americans, you are a black man after all. Foreigners with eyes and yellow skin, so they will not support you sincerely;

In addition, the sporting goods market is almost monopolized by Adidas and Nike. Unless you have the influence of Jordan, otherwise, it is difficult to get a share. "

Wang Hui sighed and spoke earnestly.

"You mean, if I don't get the support of domestic fans, it will be difficult to make it to the All-Star team?"

Zhou Yu frowned, then asked.

"Yes, most fans in the United States will only vote for homegrown players."

Wang Hui nodded.

When Zhou Yu heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold. Although the NBA All-Star Game is not an official game, it is star-studded and well-known, and it is also a benchmark for measuring a player's influence.

"Big Zhi, the primary purpose of your return to China this time is to regain the hearts of domestic fans. Only in this way will your stardom be more magnanimous."

Wang Hui said with eyes full of expectation.

"I'll do my best."

Zhou Yu sighed, showing a little lack of confidence.He knows how powerful the domestic media is. For someone like him who voluntarily leaves the team and refuses to participate in the Olympics, it would be considered a high-spirited thing not to be drowned by the spitting stars.

There was only one Christmas game scheduled, the participating teams were the Lakers and the Suns, and the venue of the game was the home of the Bayi team that Zhou Yu played for - the Younger Stadium in the NB City Sports Center.

All the members of the Lakers took a direct flight to NB City, China two days in advance, and Wang Hui was licensed by David Stern to join the team.

O'Neill on the plane was very excited. He had heard about it for a long time. There are many delicious and interesting places in China. Of course, there are also many beautiful women.

"Wang, if there is anything delicious and fun in Ningbo, tell me first."

O'Neal couldn't wait.

“Attractions include Tianyi Pavilion, Qing’an Guild Hall, the Old Bund, Ningbo Museum, Dongqian Lake, and Hemudu Ruins. The delicacies include Cicheng New Year Cake, Red Paste Crab, Ningbo Tangyuan, Thousand Layer Cake, Rock Sugar Turtle…”

Zhou Yu introduced it like a few treasures, just like Guankou in a cross talk.

"Okay, Wang, you talk too much, I can't remember at all, you still tell me, are there many beauties in Ningbo? Are they easy to chase?"

O'Neill salivated.

"Brother Shark, aren't you afraid that Xiaoya will destroy your martial arts if she finds out?"

Zhou Yu asked back.

"To tell you the truth, I've been chasing Xiaoya so hard. Recently, she doesn't take care of me. She doesn't reply to her text messages, and she calls and says she's busy. If I can have an affair in Ningbo, I want to leave a note for myself. back road."

O'Neill sighed, and then poured out bitter water.

"Brother Shark, you don't understand women very well. Sometimes a woman snubs you, but it doesn't mean she hates you. It may be to deliberately test your loyalty, or it may be because you are on your period, and you tend to lose your temper at every turn."

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently.

"Oh, that's what happened. Fortunately, you reminded me in time, otherwise I almost went astray."

O'Neill scratched his bald head and sighed for a while.

"Wang, why are you so nosy? If he wants to have fun, let him go. Maybe he will suffer from the same disease as the 'magician'."

Kobe, who was sitting by the side, suddenly spoke.

"Well, you Kobe, how dare you curse me, if I get that disease, I will be the first to infect you!"

O'Neill looked at Kobe bitterly, wishing he could strangle him to death immediately.

The plane finally landed slowly at Ningbo Lishe International Airport. Once off the plane, the Lakers players felt the fiery enthusiasm of the Chinese fans.

The fans lined up in two rows, waving the national flags of China and the United States, and shouting the names of the Lakers players, as if welcoming the head of state.

"Wang, why is no one calling your name, isn't this your territory?"

O'Neill asked in surprise.

"Oh, it's like this. Our people are very hospitable, and they always pay attention to the guests when they greet them."

Zhou Yu explained embarrassingly while lowering the peaked cap on his head, and walked forward quickly, his movements were as elegant as Michael Jackson's space dance.

"Mom, that tall man seems to be Chinese like us, who is he?"

A little girl picked up by her mother pointed at Zhou Yu and asked curiously.

"He is different from us. He has already acquired foreign nationality, so he can only be regarded as a foreigner. The name of a foreigner is too long for my mother to remember."

The woman said coldly.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt worried. When did he become an American citizen? Now he is an out-and-out Chinese nationality, and he doesn't want to change his nationality in the future.

After leaving the airport, the team members boarded a luxury bus and went straight to the hotel arranged in advance.

After Zhou Yu rested for a while, he planned to rush to the Bayi team to see his teammates and coaches whom he hadn't seen for a long time, so he left the hotel, raised his hand, hailed a taxi, and rushed straight to his destination.

　I ask for the tickets in your hands, please collect them, thank you very much.
