Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 1319 Invited to the 70th Anniversary Celebration

Of course, there was one more point.

He had already retired from the NBA and didn't need to compete in the new season.

Even as a team owner and manager, what he needed to do had basically been completed in the summer.

In other words, he would be relatively free next season, and he would definitely have time to shoot a movie.

"However, we can shoot the Rio one first."

Tang Tian continued.

Although Rio wasn't their home court, it was a historic moment, and the script was more suitable for that kind of 20-point comeback in the second half.

Yao Ming heard what Tang Tian said, his smile faded, and he nodded very seriously.

If this movie could be made, it wouldn't just be a matter of box office, but it would also greatly promote the development of Chinese basketball.

A very direct connection was that so many Chinese players were playing in the NBA and could still win the world championship, which meant that playing basketball had a future.

If parents had the opportunity, they would naturally want their children to try it.

From the CBA draft to league operations, from basketball schools to world championships, and now to movies.

This was truly a comprehensive, three-dimensional surround sound, all telling you one thing: playing basketball could have a future, a way out.

China's population base was there, and this kind of publicity was the easiest to produce results.

As for racial theories, they were destined to be abandoned in the face of these real achievements.

The two of them were just chatting, but unknowingly, they had finalized something.

On the night of the championship, Tang Tian took his players to a bar to have a good time.

After working so hard for so long, it was only natural to enjoy themselves.

Moreover, their days would be relatively busy afterwards. Winning the world championship meant activities, and even some commendation meetings, were indispensable.

This time, Towns didn't have a fever again, and Tang Tian took them to stay in China for a long time, and also went home to play for a while.

Although he was a combination of East and West, he would still let his children choose Chinese nationality after they came of age, so getting them used to it in advance was definitely necessary.

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

It had been a long time since the Chinese team won the World Cup, but there were still many related words in the major media and news.

Of the three major ball sports, soccer had consistently failed to achieve results, volleyball had limited influence, and the men's basketball team's achievement had reached the peak of popularity for Chinese ball sports.

Tang Tian was also preparing to return home with Olsen and the others first.

It was at this time that several people came from the capital, accompanied by local officials.

They had only one purpose: to invite the men's basketball team to attend the 70th anniversary celebration.

The women's volleyball team was about to depart for Japan to compete in the World Cup, and with Zhu Ting, the "Jordan" of women's volleyball, sitting in charge, their hopes of winning the championship were very high.

The spirit of the women's volleyball team had always been strongly promoted in China, so they would most likely be invited.

With the women's team, there naturally had to be a men's team, and there was no one more suitable than the men's basketball team.

Having won the world championship at home, the men's basketball team was even more qualified than the women's volleyball team.

Tang Tian also agreed. For athletes, being able to attend the nation's 70th birthday was an unparalleled honor.

The country had developed to this point after decades, and it was precisely because of the country's strength that the sports industry was able to thrive.

However, that was a month away. After they finished talking, Tang Tian took Olsen and the others to the United States first.

Ding Yanyuhang, Yi Jianlian, and Abudushalamu also went to the United States one after another.

It was now September, and the new season's training camp was about to begin, and they had to prepare for their respective new seasons.

When Tang Tian arrived in the United States, the Pelicans' training camp hadn't started yet, but Durant spontaneously organized one, and most of the team had arrived early.

It seemed that the World Cup loss had not only relieved Durant of a burden, but also motivated him for the new season.

If he still couldn't win a championship after Tang Tian retired, then he would really be a complete loser, as he had said on social media with a fake account before.

It was now mid-September, and the training camps for each team officially opened.

The Pelicans' team also arrived in full force at the opening of the camp.

Tang Tian appeared at the training camp on the first day, and the atmosphere at the training camp was quite lively.

Although Tang Tian had retired, Durant's joining made them still the hot favorites to win the championship.

Moreover, they were no longer a small-town team, and the three championship banners hanging overhead gave them great encouragement.

Seeing that the players were so active, Tang Tian was also happy.

It would be great if the Pelicans could complete a five-peat under the leadership of Durant and Davis.

While the players were working hard in the training camp, Tang Tian couldn't resist the urge to go down and play one-on-one with them.

As you can imagine, these players felt the strength of the legend Tang Tian, and trained even harder.

Time flew by in this atmosphere, and it was already the end of September.

This day was September 28th, and Tang Tian, together with Ding Yanyuhang, Abudushalamu, and Yi Jianlian, left the United States to attend the 70th anniversary celebration.

However, their first stop wasn't back home, but to Japan first.

There was a focus match of women's volleyball that night.

The Women's Volleyball World Cup was a points system, and the Chinese team was currently ranked first in points.

If they could defeat the United States team in the evening match, they would lock in the championship in advance.

After they arrived, they took the initiative to go to the stadium to cheer for the women's volleyball players after their training session.

The appearance of the men's basketball players was very unexpected, and it made the women's volleyball players a little excited.

Ding Yanyuhang and Abudushalamu became hot commodities.

Because the women's volleyball players were tall, they generally liked to find athletes as partners, and there was no one more suitable than the men's basketball team.

Ding Yanyuhang and Abudushalamu were both single, and their looks were considered high among basketball players, so they were naturally the most suitable of the suitable.

Abudushalamu seemed a little shy, and his personality was relatively introverted.

On the other hand, Ding Yanyuhang got along well with every girl. This boy, who always liked to watch the cheerleaders dance, was really outgoing.

Tang Tian also had a little fan girl, and she was a "Jordan."

When Zhu Ting took a photo with Tang Tian, her face was slightly red, which was the kind of expression you would have when you saw an idol.

For Chinese sports people, Tang Tian was now an unachievable legend, so it was not surprising that Zhu Ting was a fan of such a person.

After saying hello, Tang Tian and the others also appeared at the women's volleyball match that night.

This year's Women's Volleyball World Cup showed overwhelming strength, especially the 3-0 victory against the host Japan team, which was extremely brutal.

Tonight's match against the United States team was also highly anticipated.

The result also excited all volleyball fans.

Perhaps inspired by the men's basketball team, the Chinese women's volleyball players directly swept the powerful United States team 3-0.

Especially the score of 25-6 in the last set was brutally unimaginable.

This was absolute dominance.
