Time flies, and on August 20, Zhang Hao ended his personal training + business activities and returned to Beijing.

After staying with his family for two days, on August 24, he arrived at the reporting site in Qingdao. The Silver Fox was already waiting.

After successfully completing the return procedures, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

"Special signing players: Zhang Hao, signing players: Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, have successfully joined the 2000 Chinese men's basketball training team. The exclusive task of the national team: the golden age has begun, and the first phase of the task has been triggered: the four sons who return to China."

"Four sons of the return home:

Target: All four signed players will be selected into the national team's 12-man roster and go to Sydney, Australia to participate in the men's basketball event at the 2000 Olympics.

Reward: 30 days of life.”

‘It’s like the 30-day lifespan that I’ll reluctantly accept it!’

Zhang Hao followed Yinhu to the hotel where he stayed in the next week to open a room, and then came to the Qingdao Laoshan Gymnasium where he was training.

After the Lan Association left, Zhang Hao complained: "Coach, there is a hotel nearby, why do you have to live so far? Also, just go directly to this stadium to handle the procedures? Why do you have to go to the Sports Association first? Do you think there is too much time? Find more things to do every day?"

The silver fox looked at Zhang Hao with an expressionless face, and his eyes said that you think I think I know why?

Zhang Hao felt that his old fox was becoming more and more unlovable, his temper became more and more strange, but his ability was still very strong, so he endured it.

When we arrived at the training ground, there were 19 players, which means there were 4 players in each position.

Everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Hao who came in, and they were very excited for different reasons.

Some looked at Zhang Hao with pure admiration, some seemed to see medals, and some were...

Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong rushed to Zhang Hao in a "swish" way. Hu Weidong was fine, Zhang Hao had never seen Wang Zhizhi so fast!

Wang Zhizhi asked: "Did you really join forces with Jordan?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Hu Weidong asked in anger: "This is too much! How can you two join the same team?"

"I told him that I have partnered with Jordan in China. He felt that since I can partner with Jordan in China, I will definitely be able to partner with him, so I signed a contract with us." Zhang Hao started the bullshit mode.

Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong's eyes both said, "Do you think we are stupid?"

Zhang Hao joined forces with Jordan, and this matter has become a foregone conclusion. It not only caused a sensation in the North American sports world, but also had a great influence around the world, especially in the Chinese sports world. The topic of "the first person in the world from the old and new generations joined forces to win the championship" has become popular for a long time.

Yao Ming ran over slowly. He was not as excited as Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong. Of course, he was also very excited to see Zhang Hao and Jordan joining forces, but it really had nothing to do with him.

After chatting about joining forces with Jordan, the four of them sat in one place, Hu Weidong introduced to Zhang Hao that the other 8 people who are likely to be selected into the 12-person list.

It is obvious that 4 of them, and 16 other members of the training team, have a circle division.

But this is too normal. Except for the old players who participated in the World Championships last time Liu Yudong came over and said hello after Zhang Hao came in, the young players didn't dare to say hello.

Zhang Hao is not that enthusiastic, so he comes to say hello and smile, so forget it if you don’t have it.

For this Olympic Games, Zhang Weiping is still the leader.

Head coach Yinhu and four assistant coaches: Gong Luming, Wang Fei, Jiang Xingquan, and Zhang Bin.

The eight players who were selected for this year's national team by Hu Weidong, Battel, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Zheng Wu, Liu Yudong, and Li Nan.

Compared with the last World Championships, there are still changes in the national team lineup of this year. Adejiang, Wu Qinglong, Gong Xiaobin, and Shan Tao are not in the training team.

Yao Ming is new, and there are three more people who are not new, Zhang Jinsong, Zheng Wu, and Guo Shiqiang. They were not included in the list of the last World Championships.

Most people have not changed, and there have been 4. Overall, it is still good, and the core framework is still there, and Zhang Hao's sense of security has increased a lot.

In addition to Yao Ming, a player at the core level of the inside, the changes in other people must be the Silver Fox coaching team adjusted the lineup based on the changes in the existing core players, which gave Zhang Hao a clear idea.

...

The return to the national team went smoothly. The next training camp and the final 20-to-12 roster selection... were all very smooth.

The team leader is Zhang Hao's distant cousin.

The head coach is the coach Yinhu, who is most familiar with Zhang Hao.

The trainer is the trainer of the Bayi Team.

The medical team is the team doctor group of Jiangsu X-ray team.

The sponsor is Starbucks.

Sports equipment is provided by the brand x sports.

Zhang Hao really wants to encounter some trouble, but...

On September 2, the 12-man list of Zhang Hao, Hu Weidong, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Bater, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Zheng Wu, Liu Yudong and Li Nan was successfully selected.

Long before Zhang Hao came back, Wang Zhizhi, Hu Weidong and Yao Ming, among the four returning sons, had already stopped from Silver Fox to the details of the final roster, so he would have told Zhang Hao so bluntly who the other eight national team members were.

After the assistant coach Jiang Xingquan announced the 12-person list, Zhang Hao received a prompt to complete the task.

"The Four Sons Returning to China: Exclusive Mission for the Golden Age.

Target: All four signed players are selected for the national team's 12-man roster and go to Sydney, Australia to participate in the men's basketball event at the 2000 Olympics. (Completed)

Congratulations to the host for receiving a 30-day life span reward..."

At first, Zhang Hao didn't care about the name of the task of "Four Returned to China", but later, after the national training team announced that he would return to the team for training, domestic media began to describe them as "Four Returned to China".

For some reason, Zhang Hao felt more and more verdict...

...

...

On September 5, with the blessings of the Chinese people, the Chinese Olympic delegation set out collectively to Sydney.

When we arrived on the plane, a group of people came to Zhang Hao to take a photo and ask for autographs.

From the 3rd meeting with athletes from other events, this situation cannot be stopped.

At first I was not used to it, but it was also casual afterwards. Anyway, he didn't need to say anything, just keep one posture for others to operate.

When I arrived in Sydney, I moved into the Olympic Village.

In his previous life, Zhang Hao had the honor to visit the Beijing Olympic Village, and he always thought that the Olympic Village was like that.

Then I learned about the Olympic Village in London, Rio, Tokyo, Paris...

This time I arrived at the Olympic Village in Sydney... It's very good and environmentally friendly.

Eliminated container-renovated houses...

Fortunately, there is no problem with air conditioning, electricity, and water. Each team also has masters proficient in various skills, and there are too many bigwigs with rich experience in playing abroad.

But Zhang Hao still wanted to stay in a hotel with three girls, two kids, and his parents, and still wanted to stay in a luxury cruise with his teammates.

The key is that he pays for the hotel room fee or the rental of a cruise ship!

"Uncle, I booked a hotel and a cruise ship. We moved out. Do you think there is hope?"

"No! Everyone lives here, is our men's basketball team special?"

“How many more cruise ships do I have?”

"I'm busy, don't bother me..."

He was decisively rejected. Although Zhang Hao knew the result, he still had a hint of luck and could only accept his fate now.

It’s not that he can’t endure hardship, but that he remembers what the Beijing Olympic Village looked like in 2008. Now looking at this... it’s really hard to accept.

...

After two days of time difference between the teammates, Zhang Hao arrived in Sydney. After helplessly accepting the reality of his living environment, he slept for a night and started training vigorously the next day.

Soon, on September 10, the group draw was completed.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Yao Ming, who came back from the lottery, came to the stadium provided by the organizer, and his expression revealed a hint of despair.

Zhang Jinsong, who is cheerful and even funny, went up and asked, "Xiao Ming, who did you draw? You are so happy."

Yao Ming said with a sad face: "America, France, Lithuania, Italy, New Zealand..."

Suddenly there were screams and scolding in the stadium.

Damn, I'm so lucky, I'm joining the Death Group!

On the other hand, Group A, Spain, Argentina, Russia, Yugoslavia, Greece, and Australia, although it is difficult to play. Spain and Argentina have produced many geniuses in the world basketball world in the past few years, but they are still young. Due to political reasons, a large number of top athletes in this Olympic Games did not participate, and Russia also encountered the same dilemma, that is, Group A is a team that is difficult to play in Greece.

Obviously, this is the situation the organizer Australia team wants to see.

The schedule and opponent will definitely have an impact on a team's morale and mentality.

Zhang Hao said: "Since you are going to fight against the strongest opponents early, you will hit them long ago and announce to the world that we are here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Hao again.

‘Yes! We have the best players in the world!’

"Hometown triggered, the special signing player Zhang Hao greatly comforted the confusion and anxiety in his teammates..."
