280 Charity Races & Events

Allen Iverson

When Chamberlain received the call from AI, he was puzzled. What did he call him? After answering the call, he saw a man dragging a suitcase not far away waving at him, holding a Nokia phone in his hand. There was no doubt that it was naturally Iverson.

"Boy, I heard you are going back to organize a charity competition?" Iverson and Chamberlain asked after meeting.

Chamberlain nodded and said, "Yes, you know Allen, there is a place in my country that has a terrible earthquake. I'm going to go to a city not far from that place to hold a charity race, just like you did in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina a few years ago."

Iverson punched him and shouted, "Then why don't you give me a letter? I participated in the competition after Hurricane Katrina, and of course I am willing to participate in the competition after the earthquake."

Chamberlain was really surprised after hearing this. What level of star is Iverson? If he chooses the three most popular stars in the league, Iverson must have a place. He saw Iverson appearing at the airport with his luggage, and thought he was going to San Francisco for a trip, but he never thought he would go to China with him.

Iverson has received many invitations to visit China, both official and unofficial, but he has never been to China. In fact, he rarely leaves the United States. In addition to playing games such as the Olympics or the World Championships, Chamberlain invited many NHAI stars for this charity match. It can be said that he posted hero posts in the end, but he still responded a few times. For this consideration, he did not send invitations to top stars like Iverson and Duncan. Isn’t that humiliation?

"Aren't you serious?" Chamberlain was immediately excited when he guessed Iverson's decision.

Iverson opened his suitcase without saying a word and started rummaging. Finally, he found a green book and handed it to Chamberlain, saying, "I even brought my passport."

Everyone in the NHA has a passport because they have to play games in Canada every season - against the Raptors.

Chamberlain was ecstatic and hugged Iverson and shouted, "Damn, it's great. I was worried that our charity competition would not be supported by a superstar. It's great that you are here."

Iverson laughed, but there was a bit of melancholy in his eyes, but Chamberlain didn't notice it.

During this trip to China, all the stars' expenses were responsible for the funds. Richards meant to charter the flight directly, but Chamberlain refused this proposal. He was a poor child and would not spend money that should not be spent. Moreover, this time he invited his friends to play charity games. These people were not for enjoying going to China.

However, with Iverson joining, Chamberlain regretted not having chartered flights. Fortunately, they were both first class and not too shabby.

The news of Chamberlain's return to China was long been promoted by the fund, so when their plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport on July 1, almost all the airport was surrounded by fans. When the plane landed, you could see from the air that it was pitch black outside the airport. At that time, Iverson joked with Daben that it was black soil, but when they were about to leave the airport, they realized that they were all fans who came to greet them.

NHAI stars have never been there any time when Chinese fans are so excited when NHAI stars come to China in groups.

Which players did Chamberlain invite this time? The Warriors have been here, and all the main players have come. This is a mandatory requirement from Chamberlain. Anyway, they have to find a place to take advantage of the summer vacation, so Chamberlain directly chose the place for them to be China: "My grandfather said that China has a long history and culture, and its land is vast and rich. Do you want to see the scenery or visit historical attractions? There are Olympics in China, let's go, all of them go to China.

This time, there were at least 50,000 fans coming to Capital International Airport. This shows how terrifying Chamberlain's popularity in China is. The choice to become a Chinese citizen by Li Qun was absolutely correct. This has helped him so much. The Chinese American Chamberlain is just a super center, while the Chinese Chamberlain may become a famous figure in the history of world sports forever.

So many fans surrounded the international airport, and their cars almost wrapped around the airport. Passengers were unable to move forward when they left the airport. After inquiring about it, they found out that Chamberlain and several NHAI stars were returning on the same flight as them.

This made the fans of the passengers very depressed. If they had known that they were blocked at the exit, what a good opportunity to ask Chamberlain to sign and take a photo, but it was gone.

In fact, this is the reason why fans don’t know that Iverson is going to play charity games too. Otherwise, the number of people will double. Although Iverson’s popularity in China is not the number one among NHAI stars, in 26, it is no problem to say that he can be ranked in the top three. Only McGrady and Kobe can beat him. Others, such as the Little Emperor and the Wolf King, can at most tie him, or even worse.

Chamberlain and others came out a little late. It was not that they were playing big names, but a group of flight attendants. The flight attendants gathered around them to sign and take photos. The group first met the requirements of these people before they came out.

As soon as Chamberlain appeared, cheers like tsunamis sounded outside the airport, and countless people shouted: "Chamberlain welcomes home"

As Chamberlain came out, the fans began to boil, the crowd was crowded to a terrifying level, and the airport had to gather all the security guards to maintain order. This was the result of the Beijing Public Security Brigade's full support.

Seeing so many fans surrounded by Chamberlain, even Chamberlain was shocked. West, Bowen, Da Ben and others had never encountered such a situation. They did not have such a fanatical fan in the United States, and Chamberlain did not have such experience. The last time he returned to China in early June, he participated in the men's basketball team training, so he went to Beijing and went directly to the stadium in a low-key manner. The fans didn't know that he was back.

Billups has seen the world. When the Pistons won the championship, the scene was not small when they celebrated, so he could still keep calm and wave to the fans around him with a smile.

Seeing Billups, the fans were very excited, and thousands of people shouted to him: "Thank you, Chauncey, thank you for passing the ball to Chamberlain."

West, who was regarded as a good friend by Chamberlain, was also very popular. Many of the fans present also wore his jerseys and champions to specially launch the "Mad Dog Generation and Sneakers".

The real climax was Iverson's appearance. Chamberlain specially arranged for the last AI appearance. When he saw Iverson with a ridge of hair, dressed up with hip-hop trends, and wearing a pair of big sunglasses, the fans in front were stunned. The people behind couldn't see the people in front suddenly stopped saying a word - Iverson was really short, and no one behind couldn't see him.

Then, after a brief silence, the cheers of tsunami sounded, and the sound even overwhelmed Chamberlain's cheers when he appeared: "Answer, answer, answer"

Generally speaking, NHAR spoon stars do not go abroad when they want to go abroad because they all have advertising contracts. For publicity purposes, if they often appear abroad, the publicity effect will not be very good. After all, eating abalone every day is different from eating abalone once in a lifetime.

No one expected Iverson to appear in China suddenly, and even Chamberlain was shocked at that time, let alone the fans?

Iverson took off his sunglasses and smiled and waved to the fans. Seeing his iconic shy smile, some female fans almost fainted excitedly. This is the success of NHAR spoon. Stern almost deified these stars into the gods in the hearts of fans.

The reporters who came to the scene were even more excited. Countless long guns and short cannons were clattering, and the sound was kept ringing. In advance, several reporters from CCTV Sports, Sohu Sports, Phoenix Sports, Yahoo Sports, and Tencent Sports were allowed to enter the venue. These people directly surrounded Chamberlain and others. They felt comfortable with more stars, and almost everyone had stars to entertain.

The stars give Chamberlain a very good face. The unified caliber is to cooperate with Chamberlain to participate in charity games and watch the Olympics. Bowen is good at speaking. When faced with reporters' interviews, he first flattered Chinese culture and then praised their men's basketball strength this year: "You have five NH-level players, including the king who has played for the Mavericks. This is amazing. The most important thing is that you and E are two All-Stars insiders. I think the Chinese team's insiders this year are the strongest in the world, including the American team, their inside strength is not as good as you."

Amid the eager voices of the fans, Chamberlain and others walked for more than half an hour before boarding the bus leaving the airport. In fact, if they wanted to leave, they could leave quickly. They had a dedicated passage, but the fans waited outside the airport for so long, how could they pat their butts and leave? It goes without saying how hot the July sun is, let alone Beijing. Chamberlain and others felt the heat waves coming as soon as they came out, let alone the fans who had been waiting for a long time?

They stayed on the scene for more than half an hour, and during this period they moved the interview positions many times. Chamberlain kept slapping high with the fans on the outside. At the end, his palm was almost irritated. Most of the other stars just participated in the interview, and only West, Billups, and Evans had the most strong relationship with Chamberlain to cooperate with him and the fans for a simple interaction.

When Chamberlain and others arrived in Beijing it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. After a delay outside the airport, it was four o'clock. In this way, it was six o'clock when the bus was opened at the fund-designed Beijing Kunlun Hotel and then resettled.

The reason why I live in the Kunlun Hotel in Beijing is that the fund has unique considerations. The Kunlun Hotel in Beijing is the first five-star hotel designed and built by the Chinese. This choice is the result of discussion between the fund and the champion. They all have one purpose, which is to try to put the strongest Chinese imprint on Chamberlain.

Dinner is naturally in Quanjude, Beijing, which is almost the closest part of Beijing’s food culture that borders foreign countries.

Chamberlain's influence is growing, and this time with Iverson, Billups, Da Ben and others, his return information was even on CCTV's News Network. Moreover, the News Network gave him two and a half minutes. In addition to introducing Chamberlain's identity, he also gave him NHAR shots. In addition, other Chinese stars who accompanied him were also on the list, but this introduction is simple, which is the name and team. Only Iverson specialized, and he also commented on his career.

The impact of Chamberlain's return to China was huge. The news of him and his teammates were everywhere on the Internet. Iverson's arrival gave Chinese fans a heart-warming agent. Tickets for the charity tournament held in Chengdu had long been sold out. There were 8,000 tickets for a gymnasium. Because it adopted the online ticketing model, it took only 20 minutes from the start of sale to the sale.
