Chapter 126: Endorsement galore, only sign with Chinese companies, fight for the Dream Team !

Chapter 125

When the game time was up, all the fans cheered, it was deafening!
Even those who were not fans of China were roaring with excitement!

Because fans all hope that the Chinese men's basketball team led by Wang Yan will have a peak showdown with the US Dream Team!
Wang Yan, who is a big shot in the NBA, has created a miracle again!

Wang Yan played for 34 minutes today and scored 47 points, including five of six three-pointers, setting his own three-point record.

Today, the Chinese men's basketball team boldly used the substitute lineup in the fourth quarter to ensure the defensive intensity, which was the key to today's victory.

Wang Yan is of course the absolute core of the Celtic Dynasty. His performance in the last few minutes made Argentina despair!

After the game, Wang Yan was also very excited. He could feel the overall strength of Argentina.

Although Ginobili was frustrated, he was still convinced by Wang Yan.

He took the initiative to come over and congratulate Wang Yan.

"Wang! You are amazing! The Chinese men's basketball team has transformed under your leadership. You are so strong! Congratulations!"

Manu praised sincerely.

Wang Yan also admired Ginobili and said, "You are also great. Your offense today was very difficult to deal with under your arrangement. It also gave us a headache, haha!"

The two international superstars admired each other and chatted for a long time.

The Chinese fans at the scene were reluctant to leave for a long time. They waved the Chinese national flag and sang the national anthem in unison. It was a very touching scene.

Wang Yan saw Liu Yifei in the crowd, with a small national flag painted on her face, looking very cute.

. . . .

China made it to the Olympic finals for the first time in history, and this explosive news spread throughout the world.

This news is almost the headlines of all major media.

Wang Yan’s photos dominated the screen, making him a true international superstar!

His agent Jeffrey Wexler's phone has been flooded with calls because more international brands want Wang Yan to be their spokesperson and collaborate with them, and the prices are very high.

However, he did not agree to any of them because Wang Yan had already informed him in advance that during the Olympic Games, he would only cooperate with companies from China.

This is the greatness of Wang Yan. He knows that he is representing the country during the Olympics.

He cannot use his impressive Olympic performance to increase his chances of endorsing foreign brands.

This is his bottom line!

. . .

Just when everyone was celebrating, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team suddenly found Deng Huade and asked him to take all the players to a temporary meeting room for a video conference.

Wang Yan actually hates meetings, especially meaningless meetings like this.

The players dragged their tired bodies into the meeting room and found that a person was already waiting for them on the screen in front of them.

Yu Zaiqing, Chairman of the Basketball Association.

Yu Zaiqing's face was full of smiles. He probably never thought before the game that the Chinese men's basketball team could make it to the finals.

For him, if he can make it to the quarterfinals in the Olympics after Yao Ming retires, he will have accomplished his mission.

Before Wang Yan sat down, Yu Zaiqing stood up and bowed deeply towards the camera!
"Wang Yan, you are a great contributor to our men's basketball team! Did you know that? When we were watching the game together just now, we all looked younger than we used to be. Haha! We all jumped up!"

Several senior executives of the Basketball Association behind him were also very excited and gave thumbs up to the camera.

Wang Yan actually felt very embarrassed because this was not a separate video of the two of them.

There were so many people there, but Yu Zaiqing praised him alone.

"Oh... President Yu, you are too kind. This achievement is everyone's. The coach, the players, and other staff have all made great contributions."

As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, Yu Zaiqing came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure just now.

"You're right, you're right! Your whole team is great, everyone is great!"

At this time, Sun Yue suddenly interrupted and said, "Chairman, please don't just give me verbal encouragement. Can you also give me some practical support?"

Seeing Sun Yue start, the other players followed suit: "Yes, Wang Yan personally gave us a red envelope, shouldn't the Basketball Association also express its appreciation?"

Yu Zaiqing didn't expect this situation and felt a little embarrassed.

The Basketball Association should give rewards, but not too much.

Besides, Yu Zaiqing only wanted to reward Wang Yan, so he didn't make any preparations at all.

"You have performed very well, and the country will definitely reward you. Don't worry, don't worry!" Yu Zaiqing was a little panicked and had to agree vaguely.

Wang Yan had no choice but to come out to rescue.

"Chairman Yu, we are all joking with you. Do you have any other instructions?"

Yu Zaiqing nodded gratefully and said, "I almost forgot that the theme of this video conference is how to play well in the finals! To be honest, we are not prepared at all, but since you have come to the finals, you must play with the spirit of our Celestial Empire!"

He talked for a long time, but the players didn't respond.

Yu Zaiqing had no choice but to cough twice and said, "I hope you don't have any psychological burden. The opponent in the final is very strong. You just need to play at your own level!"

As the head coach, Deng Huade made a statement: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, we will try our best to win. As long as Wang Yan is here, we definitely have great hope!"

Yu Zaiqing was very satisfied and nodded, "Okay, I won't disturb you guys to rest, come on!"

Ever since Yao Ming was injured and retired, no one is optimistic about the Chinese team.

So reaching the finals this time made Yu Zaiqing feel more confident.

After the video conference, Wang Yan did not return to the Olympic Village, but came to the hotel to meet Liu Yifei.

The final will be in three days, so Wang Yan has plenty of time to rest.

The next morning, agent Jeffrey called Wang Yan.

"Wang, it exploded..."

Wang Yan was still asleep, and squinted his eyes as he answered, "What happened? What are you talking about?"

"I didn't know before that there are so many big companies in China! They all want you to be their spokesperson, and the price they offer is very high!"

Wang Yan snorted, "What do you think! Our Celestial Empire's economic strength has long surpassed yours, America. Do you still think we are the Celestial Empire of the past?"

"Yes, yes! You Chinese are so awesome!"

"What companies are there? Tell me about them!"

"Yili, Hisense, Haier, and even Wanda all want you to be their spokesperson!"

Wang Yan burst out laughing. Why did even a real estate company want him to be their spokesperson?

Is it still difficult to sell houses in China?
"Okay, talk to them first and make a decision after the finals. As for the price... you can ask for a higher price. It's okay. Our Tianchao company is not short of money!"

"As ordered!"

The agent Coke was so happy. The smartest thing he had ever done in his life was to become Wang Yan's agent. He really made a fortune!
If Wang Yan gave him a little bit of money through his fingers, he would become rich.

. . . .

After lunch, Wang Yan went to the gym to train with his teammates.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the stadium, a staff member led two people towards Wang Yan.

"Hi! Wang Yan, I didn't expect that we would meet in the finals!"

Wang Yan turned around and saw that Wade and Westbrook were there. In fact, Wang Yan didn't have any personal relationship with these two people, after all, he was just a rookie.

However, he once publicly expressed in an interview that he admired two players, Wade and Westbrook!
He does not mean that.

Before the finals, the two had been watching the Chinese games. If they couldn't watch them in person, they would watch the game videos.

Unexpectedly, China made it to the finals step by step.

So they considered themselves to be Wang Yan's friends and had a chat with him before the decisive battle.

"Dwyane, Russell, why are you here? Are you here to challenge me?"

Wang Yan smiled and hugged the two of them.

"Wang, to be honest, before we came to London, we had anticipated several opponents in the final, such as Spain, Argentina, and even Brazil and Australia, but we really didn't expect that you would make it to the final!"

Westbrook gave Wang Yan a thumbs up.

Although he did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear: the fact that the Celestial Empire was able to achieve such a good result was the credit of Wang Yan alone!
Wang Yan chuckled, "That's great. As a dark horse, we must stay dark to the end! You two must not be careless. My teammates are also great. They will bring you a lot of trouble!"

Wade nodded vigorously: "I know, I know. Your whole team is great. I believe the final will be exciting!"

At this time, other players of the Chinese men's basketball team also arrived at the stadium one after another.

When they saw Wade and Westbrook, they exclaimed and came over to take photos.

Wang Yan looked at these useless guys and could only smile and shake his head.

Wade and Westbrook were very cooperative, took photos with the players and exchanged a few words.

After chatting for a while, the two left.

Wang Yan is already the number one player in the NBA, so he can face all the NBA stars with ease.

This is the confidence of the Chinese men’s basketball team!

All major media outlets have been hyping up the upcoming final.

Although there are many events in the Olympics, this men's basketball final attracted more people's attention.

Many people don’t know much about the Chinese men’s basketball team. They only knew about Yao Ming before, but now they only know Wang Yan!
It is said that the tickets for the final have been sold for two thousand pounds each, which is more expensive than the superstar concert.

Betting companies have also opened betting for this game.

The odds for the Dream Team are 1:1.5, and the odds for China are 1:2.3.
This shows that more people are optimistic about the Dream Team.

Three days later, the men's basketball final of the London Olympics officially begins!
The American Dream Team is star-studded, and when the stars came on the field one after another, they aroused real cheers from the fans.

When Chinese players come on the field, only Chinese fans will give a small round of applause.

But when Wang Yan finally appeared on stage, the whole audience stood up and cheered!

This momentum far exceeds that of all the stars of the Dream Team!
Stars like James looked at Wang Yan with sour eyes, they were so envious and jealous!
They are not only jealous of Wang Yan's football skills and honors, but also jealous of Wang Yan's commercial value.

Because many endorsements from major international brands have been snatched away by Wang Yan!

This Dream Team is called the "Dream Team 10", which is very commemorative.

Because this is the first time that the three young Thunder players have gathered together for the national team.

Head coach K is having a headache because the stars of this Dream Team are all very strong and he needs to think carefully about who to start.

Today's starting lineup is shooting guard Kobe, power forward James, center Chandler, small forward Anthony, and point guard Paul.

The starting five of the Chinese men's basketball team are center Wang Dazhi, power forward Wang Yan, small forward Abdul-Jabbar, shooting guard Zhu Fangyu, and point guard Sun Yue.

Game start!
Wang Yan and Chandler stood in the center circle.

The boxing champion knew that he couldn't jump over Wang Yan, so he just went through the motions and Wang Yan easily passed the ball to Alian.

The stars of the Dream Team all knew that Wang Yan would make an alley-oop at the beginning of the game.

This is something the Dream Team cannot accept.

So when Sun Yue was advancing with the ball, James ran to the penalty area and waited for Wang Yan.

There are too many grudges between James and Wang Yan, so he must give Wang Yan a warning at the beginning!

Even if it is a foul, Wang Yan must be pulled down.

This concerns the honor of the Dream Team!

Since the legendary Dream Team was formed, almost all Dream Teams have been invincible.

Of course, James also won two bronze medals, which is a bit embarrassing.

Seeing James defending in the penalty area, Wang Yan was not in a hurry and started running along the baseline.

Sun Yue dribbled the ball slowly, waiting for the right opportunity.

As a point guard, Paul has been the steals leader several times, so he was very aggressive in defending Sun Yue, which made Sun Yue very busy.

With 4 seconds left in the offensive time, Wang Yan deceived Chandler with a fake move and rushed into the penalty area.

James immediately came forward and stood in front of Wang Yan.

However, no one expected that Wang Yan's feet would fly into the air before entering the penalty area!

James still wanted to confront Wang Yan, but unexpectedly, his eyes went dark and Wang Yan's shorts were already in front of him.

Sun Yue was quick and threw the ball over.

Wang Yan glided in the air and dunked on James, bang!
It's terrifying!

Yes, it’s scary!
Only Wang Yan can achieve this distance and this height.

Poor James, he was almost stepped over by Wang Yan!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and fell backwards, sitting on the ground with his hands spread out, looking at the referee.

However, the referee remained unmoved and the two points stood!

This dunk is so morale-boosting!
Because more people were optimistic about the Dream Team, Wang Yan’s opening show was so lightning fast that it amazed everyone!

The stadium was boiling with excitement. No matter whether they were fans from China or even fans from the United States, they all stood up and applauded, cheering for Wang Yan's amazing slam dunk!
"Wang Yan!!"

"A flash of lightning, shining in the Olympic finals!"

"Come on, Wang Yan!"

. . . .

After so many Olympic men's basketball games, the only one who could overwhelm the Dream Team in momentum right from the start was Wang Yan!

James was so angry that he shook his head when he saw the referee ignored him.

Dream Team Offense.

Paul dribbled forward.

He also adhered to the principle of "staying away from Wang Yan" and passed the ball to Anthony.

Melo is a killer in the international arena because he has so many offensive methods, is strong and has good confrontation ability!
It was a bit difficult for Al-Farouq Aminu to defend Anthony.

Anthony faced Al-Farouq Aminu, performed a triple threat move, and suddenly attacked to the right.

Although Yi Jianlian is tall and has good jumping ability, his lateral movement is far behind that of top players.

Anthony shook off Al-Farouq Aminu and prepared to shoot!
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to make a move, a dark shadow came over from the baseline.

With a wave of his hand, snap!
