Chapter 1271 1270. Drawing results, first battle against Japan! (310 please double monthly pass)

"Ace, who is your most anticipated opponent? Team USA?"

"No, Team Japan."

"Why?"

"I want to see Japanese girls screaming at me. Japanese girls are so cute, just like you. Listen to your English, you are Japanese."

"Thank you...you are the pride of us Asians, come on!"

On August 14th, the Chinese national team departed from BJ, first flew to Tokyo International Airport, and then took the Japanese Shinkansen to Saitama Prefecture.

It took about five hours, less than three hours from BJ to Osaka. The transfer took a while, and the train arrived in Saitama Prefecture in more than 20 minutes.

As soon as I arrived at the hotel arranged by Japan, I was surrounded by waiting reporters.

Liu Mang was of course the one surrounded by reporters the most.

Liu Mang's answers to most of the questions were very official. This is the national team, not the club, so you can't talk nonsense. What's more, even when he was in the United States, Liu Mang always wanted to be as official as possible when it came to the national team.

Don't deliberately please them, but don't offend them either.

A gentleman who is not afraid of offending a gentleman who directly speaks out and gets angry immediately when something happens, but a villain...

When asked by a Japanese female reporter which country she most wanted to fight against,

But Liu Mang actually heard a Japanese cheering him on... He was cheering in Japanese... Looking at this kawaii-looking female reporter who was committing nymphomaniacs, Liu Mang almost lost his mind. , and quickly called Lian Mei, who was helping him carry his luggage, to leave.

Making a fool of himself in the interview... Liu Mang thought of the time when he sprayed blue blood... He was disliked by the two girls for a long time afterward. If he made a fool of himself this time, he would probably be beaten... like a doubles...

Although Liu Mang did not like the Japanese, at least the Japanese did not force him to be included in the ranks of the Japanese. In South Korea... Yao Ming and Liu Mang, their ancestors suddenly had a relationship with the ancient Korean royal family, and they were forced to say that they were He is a descendant of a princess from ancient Korea who married into ancient China...

Liu Mang didn't even know how he was related to the ancient Chinese emperor in the hearts of fans in South Korea.

South Korea is a bit similar to Japan in that they care about blood.

For example, the famous Japanese anime "Dragon Ball" places great emphasis on bloodline. The most powerful ones are not from Earth...

…

The advantage of coming to Japan to play a game is that there is not much time difference for the Chinese team. Liu Mang has been in China for half a month, and the time difference has long been adjusted.

Perhaps out of the desire to please Chinese tourists, China is already Japan’s largest source of tourists. The accommodation prepared by the Japan Blues Association for the Chinese team this time is pretty good.

Japan is very small and full of resources. It is smaller than some provinces in China, but it has a lot of people...

Since Japan is not a big country, on August 15th, after a night’s rest in Saitama Prefecture, the Chinese men’s basketball team leader Zhang took the national team players, coaching staff, and staff to visit various venues of this World Championship. Circle, take a field trip.

This world championship is jointly organized by five cities: Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Sendai, Matsudahama, and Sapporo. The main venue is the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama Prefecture, which is the largest American football arena in Japan. For venues, the other five are relatively far behind.

Japan...Liu Mang and his teammates went shopping. It was quite small. They went to Kansai in the morning and returned to Saitama Prefecture in the afternoon to see the Saitama Super Arena. Moreover, there were trams in most places, which avoided playing games in Greece. , having to take a boat and a plane is a good thing for physical fitness.

The national team is not as free as the NBA club, so Liu Mang has been doing team activities these two days.

As for San Niu and Li's parents, Levia and Alexia took them to visit popular attractions. There are many perverts in Japan, so the national team also has dedicated staff to take care of the family members of the national team members.

Although he doesn't like Japan, when Liu Mang and the national team went to some famous places in Japan to participate in collective business activities, they saw the well-preserved ancient Japanese buildings... I had to admire them in this regard.

Soon, the time came to August 18th. Yao Ming and Director Zhang attended the lottery ceremony together, and the results came out!

…

A total of 24 countries participated in this World Championships. Compared with the Olympic Games, the World Championships is a separate event. Therefore, in terms of funding and preparation, it is much better than the Olympic Games with so many competitions. The money is spent on this one event. Five The arena has been renovated, basketball teams from various countries are being treated better, and media attention is also focused on this sport...

The total attention is naturally not as good as the Olympics, but the attention of the Olympics is dispersed, while the World Championships is more concentrated. It is Liu Mang's first time playing the World Championships. Comparing it, he feels that the World Championships feel better...

Although that comparison is not correct, Liu Mang feels that even if Olympic football allows players over the age of 23 to participate on a large scale, Olympic football will not attract more attention than the World Cup.

That is to say, the history of basketball becoming popular is too short. In the past, the United States paid attention to it, and at most the North and South America paid attention to it. If the Soviet Union had not fought against the United States in all aspects, basketball in Eastern Europe would not have taken off. Until Jordan, Magic, Larry- Bird introduced basketball to the world.

Now that basketball is getting better and better, Liu Mang remembers that in a few years, the World Basketball Championship will also change from a championship to a cup! The first Basketball World Cup will be held in 2014.

Liu Mang feels that maybe someone will surpass Jordan in terms of NBA honors in the future. After all, anything is possible, but in the sport of basketball, it is too difficult to surpass Jordan...

But you have to try everything. A dream that is difficult to achieve in a lifetime is a dream.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the draw results came out, and the 24 countries were divided into 4 groups.

Group A: Argentina, Venezuela, France, Serbia and Montenegro, Lebanon, Nigeria.

Group B: Spain, Panama, Germany, New Zealand, Angola, Qatar.

Group C: Lithuania, Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Australia, the United States.

Group D: Senegal, Puerto Rico, Slovenia, Italy, China, Japan.

The Chinese team was divided into Group D!

And... Liu Mang had been looking forward to playing against the Japanese team for a long time... and his expectation came true!

Mainly because the Chinese team was regarded as a seeded team that could compete for medals this time, and was not divided into the same group as the United States, Spain, and Argentina. In order to avoid the four teams meeting early in the knockout stage of the round of 16 or the quarterfinals, the result of the draw can be guessed.

In the original time and space, the Chinese team was not a strong seeded team, so it was used to abuse the American team... In the original time and space, no matter which group the Chinese team went to, it felt like it was a death group...

This time it's different!

The Chinese team is the seeded team in Group D!

And the Japanese team is the host... and they have to play the first game...

So... kill the little Japanese! Let the Japanese girls scream!
