259 The Olympics are coming
"Oc Games? Oh, my God... Chen, I have to say that you are such a crazy guy - are you so sure that you can improve the evaluation of those damn miser in the Olympic Games? Duffy asked Zhang Chen angrily, which made Zhang Chen touch his nose at the other end of the phone and said, "Yes... Although it sounds a little incredible, I do think so... So, what I want to say these days is that we must calm down... They will find my value!"
Duffy was a little entangled. He found that he had met a rather difficult guy, so he said annoyance, "Aren't you afraid that those bosses will lose patience? You should know that if a person has some money in their hands, they are more like finding a place to play... Even if they can't buy what they like for the time being... Well, I'm talking about the current situation of the Knicks... There are many guys who covet their money."
Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I understand your concerns... But I still want to say that we must be quiet, we must be patient... I believe they will give me a more reasonable price after the Olympics!"
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Duffy had to sigh helplessly: "Well, God bless what you said can really come true."
Zhang Chen smiled, and then Duffy suddenly said, "OH... Chen, I almost forgot one thing, that is, recently Pepsi and Coca-Cola have made an offer for you. They hope you can agree to their request and participate in their promotion after you return to China."
"I see... It's up to you to deal with this matter. I have no problem with participating in the publicity activities in China."
"That's good... In fact, what I want to say is that you will face a relatively busy period after you return to China, because I have helped you accept the requirements of eight merchants in China, and I am negotiating with five merchants at the same time... Moreover, the movie "The Founding of the People's Republic" in your country has also sent you a guest. Invitation, they specially stated that they would take care of your time, and I agreed to it for you.
"Kill me..." Zhang Chen roared loudly, and then suddenly thought of a question. He had heard of that movie... But there seemed to be no more upland people in it... "Oh...by the way." Duffy did not decide to let Zhang Chen go, and continued: "There are other literary and artistic programs that invite you to participate... For example, Blue Sky TV invited you to participate in an interview before the Olympics, and I want to hear your attitude towards the Olympics... At the same time, your Celestial Sports Station also hopes to get some of your training videos. They will Make a promotional video for you..."
Zhang Chen was so relieved that he didn't feel that the whole world was clean until he hung up Duffy's phone.
A few days ago, Yao Ming asked Zhang Chen to sing "Welcome to Yanjing" with those acting stars. Yao Ming said with some regret in his deep and thick voice, "This is a good opportunity."
Zhang Chen said, "I don't sing very well..." He finally rejected Yao Ming for this reason, but he also understood the meaning of the Olympic Games to the Chinese people. In mid-July, he will get up and return to China, and then participate in a series of activities. The top of all the activities is his Olympic torchbearer. He will be responsible for the relay for a long way, which will be the first time for him to really face the audience in front of the Chinese media because of his sports star.
It was soon carried out at the end of June. On June 29, the NBA began the draft. The Bulls took Ross under the first pick in the first round. Some Tigers were also divided up by major teams. The Suns did not do much, and the Knicks chose Canada. Reina Li, they have also issued signing invitations to Duffy and Zhang Chen many times, but Duffy must also obey Zhang Chen's instructions, so they have a very good talk about this matter.
In this way, the Knicks' hearts are a little confused. I don't know what Zhang Chen means: Is he dragging the negotiation. On the one hand, he is dissatisfied with the Suns' offer, and on the other hand, he wants to stay with the Suns, so he has been slow to make a stand and flirt with the Knicks and put pressure on the Suns? The Knicks were very nervous after deduced the result. At the same time, they also felt that Zhang Chen was not authentic and wanted to take advantage of them.
When Duffy saw this situation, he had to reveal a little information about Zhang Chen, and then the Knicks calmed down again. At the same time, the Suns couldn't figure out what Zhang Chen wanted to do, but their idea of getting Zhang Chen was far less than that of the Knicks, and they really couldn't afford the money, so this matter The love has been put on hold all the time.
The 08-09 season has not yet started, but during this period, everyone's arms race has been actively launched. Of course, most of everyone's eyes are still focused on this year's American team.
This year's dream team is undoubtedly quite eye-catching - Kobe, James, Wade, Anthony, Paul... Who is not a famous figure in the world? Some people even think that this U.S. team is the strongest in history, and Kobe and James, the cooperation on the 23rd and 24th, has also become the focus of attention.
The whole world is slowly focusing on that ancient country and that ancient city, and the Olympic Games are also in full swing in this situation.
In early July 2008, Zhang Chen officially jumped out of the rookie guarantee contract with the Suns. Now he has really become a free agent. Everyone is looking forward to Zhang Chen's choice. However, Zhang Chen seems to have started a performance dedicated to the entertainment industry this time - he seems to be shooting a soap opera without joining any The team's mouth is also very dead, which makes the majority of fans grit their teeth. After all, a player with an average three-point shooting rate of 55% last season is a huge news no matter which team arrives. After all, the biggest suspense during this period is Zhang Chen, and there are no other big players.
This soap opera was also copied for a period of time, and later Zhang Chen couldn't bear to express his opinion in front of the media: "I just want to play the Olympic Games now... I won't think about anything else until then."
This sentence made everyone grit their teeth, but there is nothing they can do about Zhang Chen, so they can only look forward to the end of this soap opera as soon as possible. However, Zhang Chen didn't expect that after he said this point of view, everyone had more expectations for his choice. At the last press conference, some careful fans found that Zhang Chen's upper body was much stronger, and his originally a little thin body has now become strong.
This makes everyone more imaginative about him. After some players expressed this view, Zhang Chen quickly became one of the most popular surname fantasy objects in the United States.
These are all trivial things. On July 15, he walked out of the training hall.
He rented a relatively complete trainer in his original college stadium. He and his trainer Brewer have been training here for more than ten days. Occasionally, some people in the school team saw him, and he was no longer as arrogant as before, but with a kind of admiration.
Zhang Chen used to be a guy who could occasionally hit a few balls in their eyes. His role was quite limited, but then no one thought of what would happen in the middle. Zhang Chen suddenly became the best rookie in the NBA in the 2007-2008 season, which surprised everyone but could not think about it. Pass.
Although this matter made them confused, it has also become their pride after all - see, the NBA's best rookie this season is the guy who can't even play as a substitute for our team. It's just a pity that someone really treats this matter as a real thing, so Zhang Chen met everyone's challenge ridiculously.
There was a one-on-one fight with Zhang Chen. This is a white man with serious racial discrimination. He has always disdained Zhang Chen. He feels that Zhang Chen is completely lucky in the NBA.
In the face of this overpowerful player, Zhang Chen played seven balls with him. The man in the first ball was disturbed by Zhang Chen, and then it became his nightmare - how Zhang Chen threw outside the three-point line. He had no choice but to satirize that Zhang Chen could only jump, so Zhang Chen, who was 203 meters, was gorgeous in front of him at 1.6 meters. He played the butterfly walk, and he fell to the ground more than once.
"Oh, my God... I bet he has a magnet in his hand... Why is he so good at controlling the ball? You should know that he is a two-meter and three-meter guy!" The man said this after the game, which made everyone scoff and revisited Zhang Chen's control of the ball, and then found that Zhang Chen's control of the ball was really excellent - as if it was better than Iverson and others.
Since then, no one has dared to underestimate Zhang Chen. The best rookie in the NBA is far from what they can compete with, so there are many players who used to disdain Zhang Chen. Now they come humbly to ask Zhang Chen for the understanding of basketball. Zhang Chen did not hide his privacy and saw some in the NBA. Tell them the right way to play, which also benefits them a lot.
After leaving the gate of the university, Zhang Chen felt that he should not have much chance to come back in the future - the city will also be far away from him in the future... He shook his head. Zhang Chen didn't want to think about those sad things by himself. He returned to his residence to collect his things and got on the plane to China.
Outside the porthole, looking at the white clouds floating below is no longer the same mentality as the last time he returned to China. The two bodyguards in black next to him sat there meticulously and watched every move that might occur around him conscientiously. Zhang Chen felt that he had come to Shanghai just for a nap.
Walking off the plane with sunglasses, Zhang Chen immediately shouted that he was not good, because he found a two-two-meter-meter guy waiting for him with a smile. The most important thing was that there were armed police standing next to him and maintaining order at the scene - there were too many fans around, and they were all roaring crazily. Zhang Chen's name.
"Zhang Chen! Zhang Chen!"
"Go home!" A fan holds a huge poster in his hand. Zhang Chen on it is shooting, and in front of the poster, these two big characters are written on it. Since the incident in Shuchuan, the trend set off by Zhang Chen in China has not stopped. At present, Zhang Chen also has some vaguely the first person in Chinese basketball. It was Yao Ming's recovery training that made Zhang Chen's attention less.
Although his face was bitter at the moment he saw the fans, Zhang Chen quickly changed to a smiling face. He couldn't chill their hearts.
"Do you still remember me?" Suddenly, a guy said loudly to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was a little at a loss, but when he heard this sentence, he knew the direction. He walked there and said, "Hello, Fan Xingchen..."
The person in front of him was indeed Fan Xingchen. His face was full of simple and honest words, and Zhang Chen recognized him at a glance.
Fan Xingchen was flattered, and also attracted the envy and hatred of the fans around him. At this time, Zhang Chen also went to the front of the fans, said hello to them, and met some of their signatures and other requirements.
Half an hour later, he finally dealt with this, and then came to Yao Ming and said, "I'm sorry... There are too many fans, hehe."
Yao Ming smiled and said, "I'm a little envious of you... I'm standing here, and not many fans ask me for an autograph."
"I'm also your fan... Sign it for me." Zhang Chen said.
"Forget it, I can't afford it." Yao Ming laughed, and then naturally hugged Zhang Chen's shoulder. The bodyguards of the two people also followed them step by step, and a pair of eyes were still looking at the crowd around them.
"I finally set foot on this land again!" Zhang Chen said with some emotion, "It's better to feel the motherland... Here you will feel that you are really standing on the ground, and there is a feeling that the ground is connected to your blood."
Several reporters quickly recorded this sentence, and Yao Ming said, "Yes, no matter what happens abroad, it's the best to come back here... You will understand that you are still that person, a person with yellow skin and dark eyes."
The two of them walked forward laughing. His buttocks were not hot in Shanghai, and soon ushered in the first activity here - he was going to participate in a publicity meeting in the dynamic zone, which was also the first thing he had to face after returning to China.
Today, the dynamic area of this publicity meeting is still quite noisy. They are going to combine this publicity meeting with the holding of the Olympic Games to find an opportunity to combine it. Therefore, although the sports stars they invited are mainly Zhang Chen, they also invited some other sports stars. At the same time, some film and television stars come. Help.
That night, Zhang Chen, under the protection of his bodyguard, wore a casual suit and came to the sports center with a Pepsi baseball cap. It was already brightly lit, crowded, and all kinds of slogans covered the whole crowd.
In the background, Zhang Chen and the stars who are going to participate in the publicity tonight briefly got to know each other. The most important thing is the football star Du Yang, who has been quite popular in recent years. Someone once said that Du Yang held up football, and Zhang Chen is half of the country of Chinese basketball. I saw it today. The other party felt that the other party's handsomeness was beyond imagination.
Du Yang and Zhang Chen are both sports stars, and there are naturally more topics. However, Zhou Jiexuan, who came later tonight, soon came to Zhang Chen to discuss basketball with him. Although the two met on the first day, they still spit, and Zhang Chen could see Zhou. Jiexuan's love for basketball also knew that he had made a movie called "Big Slam Dunk". The two of them were excited to play one-on-one in the background. Zhou Jiexuan was abused to death by Zhang Chen.
"Oh..." A voice mixed with anger sounded beside him. It turned out that the basketball that Zhou Jie accidentally played out just hit a girl. The girl was also a star who just came here to participate in the publicity meeting today, and was immediately scared.
Zhou Jie glanced in that direction and said with a smile, "Yang Mi, why are you here?"
It turned out that she was the little Dongxie who was widely praised in Liu Yifei's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes. It seems that she does have such an elf and pure taste. Her appearance is not national beauty, but the combination of her nose and eyes has an indescribable charm and temperament.
"Yes... I just came, but I was soon hit by your ball... You two can really toss around and play basketball here..."
Zhou Jie smiled and didn't pay too much attention to it. He knew that Yang Mi was so careless, and Zhang Chen had just seen all the other stars. Now he saw a beautiful girl he didn't know, so he said, "Who is this?"
"My sister's name is Yang Mi... Ha ha, you are Zhang Chen... It's very cute."
Zhang Chen felt black in front of him... He was really not used to being said to be cute when he was so tall... Although Avril also said that, Avril was not the same situation as this after all. Also, this guy calls himself his sister? Zhang Chen walked over and measured Yang Mi's head at 1.7 meters. Well, he happened to be near his neck, and he said, "You should be cute..."
Everyone knows what Zhang Chen means, but Yang Mi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I accepted it." After saying that, he went to the dressing room and ignored Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen thought the girl was a little strange but interesting.
So he and Jay Chou inquired about Yang Mi. Jay Chou said, "It's really not a joke that she claims to be her sister in front of you... She is eighty-six years old, and you are eighty-eight years old, right? What about the two-year gap?
Zhang Chen was a little depressed: "It's all from the 1980s. How can there be so many differences?"
Du Yang next toimmediately became alert: "Hey, Zhang Chen, you don't want to deny the age gap between us, do you? But this girl is quite beautiful. You can think about it.
Zhang Chen looked at him with contempt: "Who took a bunch of harems in Hollywood like you?"
Du Yang immediately coughed, and he didn't want to show his pervert's surname in front of several other female stars.
There was a little episode at the beginning of this publicity meeting, and then it was even fuller when it was officially held.
Zhang Chen's appearance is relatively backward, but just before Yang Mi, Yang Mi is more beautiful after putting on makeup. This year, she is more beautiful and simple than three years later. She looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Actually, my father likes to watch you play basketball very much. After the end, sign a name for my sister... Don't run away suddenly."
Zhang Chen said with a bitter face, "Can you stop calling yourself so... This... I'm listening to strange."
Yang Mi still just smiled: "I don't care about you. I can just call it by myself..."
Zhang Chen touched his nose.
