Chapter 78 Qualified rotation?

Harris looked at Lin Yu and Dayao, then looked at Abdul-Jabbar behind him, and was full of hope for the future of the men's basketball team.

Harris got off the plane in a happy mood.
then……

"What's going on? Why doesn't the bathroom even have a door?"

Harris was almost furious.

It's okay to pile up cement and sand next to the Olympic Village during the regular season, after all, there is still some time before the opening of the Olympics.

He tolerated the fact that some roads were not paved with asphalt!
but……

He really couldn't stand the fact that the bathrooms in the Olympic Village had no doors!

“I can’t believe this is the Olympic Village. The best athletes in the world are living in this environment!
Are you sure this isn't a refugee camp?"

Harris was really furious. Is this place really habitable?
As a famous coach, the treatment Harris enjoys may not be the best in the world, but at least in the basketball circle, it is definitely on the higher side.

The Greek Olympic Village in front of him looked like a refugee camp to Harris.

Lin Yu actually wanted to say that the conditions in refugee camps in Africa were almost the same.

However, Lin Yu could only say that he was not surprised by such a situation.

Greece is indeed not good enough now, but look at the future of London and Brazil, as well as the Tokyo Olympics...

At least Greece is not at the bottom.

In the end, at Lin Yu's suggestion, a simple door curtain was made for Harris, which barely appeased Harris.

But the actual difficulties are not just these.

Lin Yu and Dayao eat nutritious meals prepared by special nutritionists, but other men's basketball players do not have professional teams behind them like Lin Yu and Dayao.

Most of the food we eat is from the cafeteria.

There is no Chinese food in the Greek Olympic Village, only steak, pasta, pizza and other foods.

The most terrible thing is actually the traffic.

The venue is more than 20 minutes away from the Olympic Village, even by bus.

Moreover, the shuttle bus is not available on call and the number is relatively small.

It takes more than 50 minutes to go back and forth, but in fact it is much more than that.

Athletes who have just finished training and are covered in sweat can easily catch a cold when sitting on an air-conditioned bus.

Moreover, at this time, athletes generally dare not take cold medicine for fear of accidentally taking banned drugs.

On the surface: going abroad to participate in the Olympics with great fanfare.

In fact: surviving the disaster at the Olympics.

Lin Yu also wanted to follow the example of the Dream Team and stay in a five-star hotel.

But Lin Yu was just thinking about it.

After all, if the men's basketball team is being treated specially, what about other teams?
August 8, opening ceremony.

It had already been decided that Yao Ming would be the flag bearer, but Lin Yu didn't care.

It would be enough as long as he is the flag bearer for the 08 Olympics. After all, being a flag bearer in Greece is far less glorious than being a flag bearer at home.

China.

At this time, Dad and Mom Lin were sitting in front of the TV.

Neither of them went to Xila, but chose to cheer for Lin Yu at home.

As the opening ceremony began, the first thing to appear on TV was the Olympic Sports Complex.

"Here we are, here we are. This venue looks pretty nice."

"The clear blue water in the center of the field is said to symbolize the Aegean Sea, which the Greeks are so proud of."

Boom!
While Father Lin was explaining, thunderous drum sounds came from the TV, announcing the official start of the Athens Olympics.

Then the TV started playing a short film about how the Olympic Stadium was built from scratch bit by bit.

This was followed by a cultural performance about Greece and Latvia.

Lin's father was enjoying the show, but Lin's mother, who didn't know much about Greek culture, was almost asleep. Finally, when all the performances were over, the delegations from various countries began to enter the venue.

While Mr. and Mrs. Lin were waiting, the Chinese delegation finally showed up.

"Now it's the Chinese delegation's turn!"

As the sound came out of the TV, Lin's mother said in surprise: "Old Lin, look, it's our son!"

At this time, the cameras on the scene were all focused on Yao Ming and Lin Yu who were walking in the front.

The two top scorers are also household names in China!
The audience at the scene also applauded the Chinese delegation.

The big screen at the stadium also stayed on for five more seconds for Lin Yu and Yao Ming.

Okafor, who came to Yadian with the Dream Team, saw Lin Yu's face appear on the big screen and his face instantly darkened.

Lin Yu presented Okafor with the NCAA history background board, and it would be strange if his expression remained normal when he saw Lin Yu.

When Iverson saw this scene, he also became interested.

"I don't know how strong is this No. 04 pick in who made Auerbach come out and make the Celtics give up all their glory again?"

As he spoke, Iverson looked at Duncan standing beside him.

The last player who made the Celtics give up all honors was "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan.

"It must be this young man with a lot of personality, otherwise he wouldn't have made the 'decision' live."

Marbury, Marion and others nodded, indicating their agreement with Duncan's words.

"I've wanted to play against Lin Yu for a long time, but the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team seems to be the quarterfinals. We are not in the same group, so we probably won't have the chance to play against each other in the Olympics. But next season, we are in the Eastern Conference, so we can play against each other sooner or later."

The Olympic Organizing Committee and the National Basketball Federation had finalized the groups and venues for the Olympic Games as early as August 8.

The men's basketball team was drawn into Group A, with opponents including Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, Italy and Serbia.

Group B: Colombia, Australia, Angola, Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Greece.

The men's basketball games will be held every other day.

The men's basketball team's first opponent is the Spanish Ducks.

The venue for this competition is the city stadium at the old Elnikon Airport in Yadim, which can accommodate 15600 spectators.

Before the game started, as usual, Yao Ming, Lin Yu and others also accepted interviews.

"Dayao, do you have any expectations for the men's basketball team's performance this time?"

"Top eight! If the men's basketball team doesn't make it to the top eight, I will stop shaving and become a savage."

After Yao Ming finished speaking, the reporters interviewing him on the scene all laughed. Apparently, this was not the first time Yao Ming had joked about his beard.

In fact, the men's basketball team's lineup this time is indeed not weak, even though most of the players did not come to participate.

Yao Ming is also accompanied by Daba, Du Feng and Abdul-Jabbar, and on the outside there are two very capable shooters in Li Nan and Zhu Ba.

Even if Lin Yu is not counted, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is not weak.

There were also many reporters surrounding Lin Yu. After all, he was the new No. 1 pick in the NBA and was well-known.

"Lin Yu, this is your first time participating in an international competition. From college basketball to a world-class competition, what are your thoughts now?"

idea?
Lin Yu really didn't have any ideas.

after all……

Except for Yao Ming, the rest of the men's basketball team was basically beaten by him.

"I don't have any special ideas, I just hope to help the men's basketball team achieve its original goals."

Lin Yu’s answer was also quite standard.

"Then I wish you can serve as a qualified rotation player in this Olympics and help the Chinese men's basketball team achieve a good result in the top eight."

Dayao: ???
Before Lin Yu could say anything, Dayao beside him was speechless.

Lin Yu almost blew up the entire men's basketball team...

Ning tell me about the qualified rotation?
