On June 15, 2016, Beijing Capital International Airport, Wednesday.

Today is a very ordinary day. There was a thunderstorm in Beijing. After the rain, the air above the city was very fresh and clean.

Sandstorms once enveloped the city. With years of efforts to plant trees and forests, sand has gradually become the memory of the city.

What replaced the new thing "haze" that I once remembered was the new thing, but in June, the gray fog did not come, and the number of days with blue sky and white clouds became more and more. After a rain, the sun in the sky was very scorching, and the ultraviolet rays were quite strong. If you don't take sun protection, you may have to take off a layer of skin on your body.

On the apron of Capital Airport, a group of people were looking at each other under the burning sun. They could have been waiting comfortably with air conditioning in the pick-up hall.

But no one wanted to stay in the house, but came outside by the concession, enduring the sultry weather after the rain, waiting for the planes flying from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

On the plane is the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team this year's Olympic Games.

Among the pick-up crowd, there was one person who was particularly conspicuous because he was too tall.

His figure is simply huge, and the word "crowned" stands out for him was simply created for him.

"It's late again? Can you do it once?" The giant said to himself, his voice was deep.

He is the current chairman of the Chinese men's basketball team and the former number one superstar in Chinese basketball, Yao Ming.

It has only been more than three months since Yao Ming took office as chairman of the men's basketball team. His ability to be elected as chairman of the Basketball Association and to allow the country to carry out major reforms to the basketball management system is ultimately just a promise.

Before, the chairman of the Basketball Association was just an honorary position, and the main person in charge of Chinese basketball affairs was actually the director of the Basketball Management Center, and generally served as vice chairman of the Basketball Association.

This time, major reforms have been made to this end for the 2016 Olympic year. The Chairman of the Basketball Association will no longer be a false position, but will become a real position in charge of Chinese basketball affairs.

This position is tailor-made for Yao Ming.

After retiring in 2010, Yao Ming had accumulated enough wealth and fame in his nine-year career. He returned to school and returned to school, invested in the team, and participated in the CBA. As a flagship figure in Chinese basketball, he has been contributing to promoting the development of Chinese basketball.

He could have been a successful businessman, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life and enjoy life.

But everyone's pursuit of life is different.

Yao Ming resolutely embarked on the road of revitalizing the Chinese basketball team.

Then for someone's promise, my neck was almost peeling off under the sun.

Just behind Yao Ming, a long banner was held, with the words "Welcome to Comrade Gan Liliang home."

That's right, this is to welcome Li Liang back to China.

Yao Ming is the leader, and the rest are well-known figures in the Chinese basketball circle, including famous players, men's basketball celebrities, well-known media people, etc., all waiting in the sun.

In the airport and in the hall, there are many enthusiastic Chinese fans coming to welcome their heroes when they hear the news.

It was originally expected that the plane would arrive at 11:00 noon, but it was already half past 11:00, but there was still no news of landing.

It is said that fog in Los Angeles has affected the plane's takeoff and may be a while later.

But no matter how late it is, you still have to wait.

Yao Ming looked up and looked at the sky. There were white dots moving quickly among the white clouds, and another plane was about to land.

I hope this plane is what they have to wait for.

Otherwise, the sun after the rain will really make people lose their skin.

The plane landed slowly, and a message came from behind, which was a special plane from Los Angeles.

Yao Ming hurriedly signaled everyone to prepare, and he took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his sweat.

In order to show his solemnity, Yao Ming came here today and wore a formal outfit, so it was very hot.

Ten minutes later, the plane stopped at the board, the ladder moved over, and the plane door slowly opened.

A black-headed and dark-hearted person leaned out first.

The reporters' long guns and short cannons on the apron were aimed at the cabin door, but the one who came out was not the main one.

It is the bodyguard of the main owner - Jansen.

Yao Ming was a little anxious and wanted to climb from the ladder to the plane and pull Li Liang down.

Li Liang did not ask everyone to wait any longer. He was wearing a white T-shirt and red shorts coming out of the cabin door. There was a "cracking" photo shoot and cheering sound immediately below.

Yao Ming's originally wrinkled face suddenly stretched out and he smiled.

The clothes Li Liang wore were very special. They looked just an ordinary white T-shirt, but there was a red flag pattern embroidered on the chest.

This is exactly why Li Liang returned to China - fulfilling his promise to Yao Ming at the All-Star Game that year, "If you become the chairman of the Basketball Association, I will join the national team to compete in the Olympics."

Although it was just a joke at that time, it actually came true after a series of operations later.

Li Liang got off the plane and the sunshine in Beijing was brighter than that in Los Angeles, and today it was foggy in Los Angeles.

He put on sunglasses and a black baseball cap on his head - this is the NBA's championship cap.

Just three days ago, in Cleveland, Li Liang won the fourth championship trophy of his career.

As he said himself, he agreed to sweep and sweep it away 4:0.

Of course, it is not easy to win every game. Except for the second game, the 15-point victory, the first game was 8 points, the third game was 1 point, and the fourth game was only 4 points.

It can be said that judging from the small points in each game, the Cavaliers are indeed harder to deal with than the Warriors.

Li Liang's feelings before the finals were not wrong.

But the big scores are the same.

The Cavaliers can be said to be dreaming of 2007. Facing the Spurs, the scores were almost the same, but they died neatly and had no chance.

Four championships and four FVPs, 2016 was the year when Li Liang became a god in the United States.

So his heart drifted to his hometown, to China, and to see the Olympics.

After getting off the plane, Yao Ming came over to shake hands with Li Liang, and Li Liang gave Yao Ming a hug without hesitation.

After retiring, Yao Ming obviously gained a lot of weight, and he seemed even bigger, as he was already huge.

"Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time, but we are willing to wait any longer."

"Then I'll fly back to Los Angeles to play for two more days?"

The two joked with each other, then left the apron surrounded by many people and came to the hall.

The hall became even more lively, with various slogans, and enthusiastic fans were almost blocking the hall.

Many passengers who were coming and going stopped and took out their cell phones to take pictures.

There is no way, this guy has been on the news broadcast for the fourth consecutive year.

For many Chinese people, I don’t know what the NBA championship is, but it’s amazing to be on the news broadcast.

In the eyes of everyone, Yao Ming and Li Liang got into the car - a Toyota Coaster.

Although this car is so rustic, it is like a minibus walking in the countryside, I don’t know that this is a car that is favored by senior leaders in China.

Spacious, comfortable, and the key is low-key.

Of course, for Li Liang and Yao Ming, spaciousness is the most important thing.

After sitting down, the two of them could finally chat quietly for a while.

"Why didn't my girlfriend come? Isn't she your agent?"

"It's a big deal, I'm going to take women and I don't need an agent to play in the national team."

Zhu Shu did not return to China with Li Liang this time, but it does not mean that she just let Li Liang come back.

Her flight was staggered with Li Liang's. As soon as Li Liang arrived, she would follow her back, mainly because she didn't want to attract too much attention.

After all, the two are not married, can they let him go to the sea?

As soon as Li Liang returned to China, all kinds of social engagements were definitely indispensable.

At the dinner party, the stars, beauties, and socialites should be as beautiful as they should be.

He was asked to stay in Beijing and then went to Brazil alone for two months, but his bones were not loose and crispy.

So, Li Liang is just experiencing his mouth now, and the curse will arrive in the evening.

"When will we start training?" Yao Ming and Li Liang exchanged a few greetings and started talking about the main things.

In April, the national team started training, and two months have passed.

Because I don’t know if Li Liang will join, I practice according to whether Li Liang will join.

Now that Li Liang is here, many things may have to undergo huge changes.

"Can I give me a break? Let's start talking about training so soon."

"It's getting late, and there are two months left. I'll arrange a press conference for you in the afternoon and I'll be able to report tomorrow."

Li Liang lay in the car and ate two bananas, thinking that since he was back, he could only listen to Yao Ming.

Li Liang wanted to join the Chinese national team without much repetition.

As soon as the finals were finished, a cross-border call was given to Yao Ming, and the matter was decided.

He doesn't have a team and doesn't worry about his health.

The only thing I have to worry about is whether I can lead the national team.
