Chapter 476 Nets China trip(1/2)
In late August, Lin Ying was preparing to return to China to participate in NBA promotion's China trip.
This is a task undertaken by the Nets, so some members of the Nets are also there.
Of course, the most important ones are Lin Ying and Durant.
When they were still in Naa, the "Texas Twins" had already become famous in China.
If fans have deep enough memories, they will definitely still remember the immediate collapse of a certain domestic wave of "Crazy Three".
Now that the "Texas Twins" are reunited in the NBA, the biggest response is, of course, at home.
You can imagine what a crazy scene it would be when the two appeared at the airport.
On the special plane, Durant and Lin Ying sat together. Behind them sat Su Feng and Jokic. On the rear left were Ariza and Yang Shuyi, and then there were some Nets and NBA staff...
Ariza was arranged by the team. As a player who has played for the Lakers for a long time, he is also very popular in the country.
Jokic was brought along at Lin Ying's request, and he planned to get Jokic to sign LinK sneakers.
LinK is now an independent brand of sneakers, just like Jordan.
But it has not signed anyone else except Lin Ying.
There was no suitable person before, but Jokic is a good candidate.
Although Pork Belly is a center forward, his style of play is undeniable in popularity.
While they were chatting, Lin Ying suddenly smelled a unique fragrance filling the air.
The smell makes people salivate unconsciously, the smell of instant noodles.
Lin Ying turned around and saw that Ariza guy had soaked the noodles for some time and just opened it at this moment.
Instant noodles are like a woman wearing gauze and black stockings the moment they are brewed, they are always the most fragrant.
However, it is a private plane. If you really eat instant noodles on a civil airliner, you may get beaten.
Seeing Lin Ying looking at him, Ariza was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile.
Lin Ying also smiled and turned back.
Lin Ying knows Ariza, but has never really gotten along with him. After a brief contact, he seems to be a very talkative guy, a bit like himself in Naa.
"This guy brought a whole box of instant noodles, it's crazy."
Durant also smelled it, and complained when Lin Ying turned around.
Lin Ying coughed twice, Durant's volume could be heard by Ariza.
This guy is really straight to the point.
“Not everyone can get used to Chinese food.”
Lin Ying said.
Regarding Ariza eating instant noodles, Lin Ying was quite impressed.
Because Ariza has played for the Rockets for a long time in history, he has also been to China several times.
Then one time he was photographed eating instant noodles, which not only attracted heated discussion, but also became a classic that will be passed down forever.
"If he keeps eating it, he can become an ambassador for instant noodles."
Durant then complained.
"It doesn't seem impossible."
Lin Ying nodded seriously.
After all, Durant even endorsed safety helmets during his trip to China.
…
Their first stop was the capital, where they landed in the evening.
Although I had prepared myself mentally before coming, I was still shocked when I saw the huge crowd of fans at the airport when I came out of the exit.
And now there are not only a lot of Lin Ying’s KT boards, but also a lot of Durant’s.
Perhaps at this moment, they deeply felt how popular the Nets, who combined Lin Ying and Durant, were in the country.
Originally, Lin Ying and Durant had planned to sign autographs and take photos at the airport, but they didn't dare to do that this time.
If we stop here, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow morning if we want to go out again.
Of course, Lin Ying and Durant have seen big scenes after all, and Ariza and Jokic behind them were stunned.
Ariza: Who am I and where am I?
Jokic, after experiencing the initial shock, felt deep in his heart: As expected of me, Link, this card is bigger than Jordan!
But it’s not their fault. The enthusiasm of Chinese fans will make almost every fan who comes to China feel crazy.
Not to mention that they came with Lin Ying and Durant this time. Now these two people are extremely popular bombs in China.
They greeted the fans, got on the bus, and took half an hour's ride to the hotel.
Then they discovered that there were a lot of fans at the hotel, and police were even dispatched at the door to maintain order.
This time, Ariza's inner shock was even greater, and the fanaticism in Jokic's eyes became even stronger.
The last person to receive this kind of treatment was also named Michael, but the one who followed him was not Jordan but Jackson.
They did not enter the hotel immediately, but at Lin Ying's greeting, they signed autographs and took photos with fans at the door.
At the airport, I was worried that I would not be able to leave and cause chaos, but now that I have arrived at the hotel and the police are there, order can be maintained.
At this time, Jokic suddenly opened his suitcase and picked up paper and pen from inside.
Ariza looked over doubtfully, only to find that he couldn't understand.
Because Jokic uses not English but the Serbian language, a script that combines Latin letters and Cyrillic letters.
For example: дoстojaнству.
Look, you can’t understand either.
But this is perfectly normal. It would be abnormal if a Serbian was memorizing things in English.
…
The Capital Battle event only lasted for two days, and the content was similar, including fan meetings and some warm-up activities.
One thing that can be determined in the past two days is that Durant's popularity in the country has surpassed Tracy McGrady.
And judging from the current situation, it doesn't take three consecutive championships. As long as the Texas Twins can lead the Nets to win a championship, Durant will become the most popular foreign basketball star in the country.
There is no need to make any assumptions. If Yao and Mai had won the championship, McGrady's popularity would have definitely exploded.
Not to mention that Durant was teammates with Lin Ying in college, won championships together, and had visited China frequently before.
After two days of activities, the four of them went to climb the Great Wall with their bodyguards.
"It's you!"
At the foot of Haohan Slope, Durant recognized the water seller at a glance!
At that time, a bottle of water cost 20, and Durant spent 50 to buy 2 bottles.
At first he thought it was nothing, but after Lin Ying explained it to him, he realized that he seemed to have been cheated.
But that kind of thing was dispensable to him, so he quickly stopped paying attention to it.
I didn't expect to see my aunt again now, and there were no changes except for a few wrinkles.
You know, eight years have passed since then, and his memory was suddenly awakened.
Of course the aunt didn’t know Durant, so she looked at him with confusion:
"Are you horny?"
Auntie may still be from Harbin.
"I...buy water, 4 bottles."
Durant felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, so he took out 100 and gave it to the aunt.
"Keep the change, please."
"This is not enough."
But the aunt's reaction stunned Durant for a moment.
Isn’t 20 times 4 80?
The 20 yuan was an extra tip he gave me because he was happy.
Did he calculate correctly?
"4 bottles, 120."
Gu Pan/span> Auntie thought Durant couldn’t understand her English, so she gestured with her hands.
Lin Ying watched happily.
