At this time, Zhou Qi excitedly tugged at Guo Ailun's jersey next to him.
At the scene, the podium has been set up.
The Chinese men's basketball team walked to the podium under the leadership of the instructor, and stood on the podium with the runner-up Serbia and the champion United States.
The most exciting award-giving moment has officially begun.
When the American national anthem was played, Wang Zelin was not as excited as the other team members.
At this moment, looking at the members of the dream team holding the golden trophy unique to the championship winner, he suddenly felt that the bronze medal in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Perhaps in the eyes of other players and players, winning the bronze medal is already a major victory that the men's basketball team has never had.
But Wang Zelin always feels that something is missing?
In a daze, he looked up at the sky and then around. Listening to the American national anthem getting louder, he knew something was wrong.
I was not able to hear the Chinese national anthem played at the awards ceremony.
What third place in the world?
There is only one simple and eternal truth in the basketball world, and that is:
Winner takes all!
Although winning the bronze medal is the highest honor that the men's basketball team has ever achieved before, Wang Zelin is not just satisfied once.
Wait until the Olympics in two years' time.
He must let the national anthem be played on the medal podium of the Olympic Games!
…
After attending the award ceremony.
After communicating with Zhou Yang and the leaders of the men's basketball team, Wang Zelin left the scene early and did not attend the subsequent press conference.
There is no other reason.
Simply because he was too tired and wanted to rest.
Besides, could it be that just because he didn't attend the press conference, some people would deny his contribution to leading the men's basketball team to win the bronze medal?
At this stage, when he has reached a certain height in the world of basketball, he has already received enough media exposure. At this time, giving the spotlight to teammates who need it more can not only gain goodwill, but also relax his tense heartstrings.
,Why not do it?
However, Mr. Lu Xun has a good saying: Brother is not in the world, but there will always be a legend about him in the world.
In 9 games, he averaged 33 points, 14 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game, surpassing Jose Barea's 22 points, Haddadi's 9.4 rebounds, and Pau Gasol's 2.3 blocks, becoming the scoring leader in the men's basketball competition of this World Cup.
, rebounding leader and shot-blocking leader.
This is also the first time in the history of international competition that someone has won the scoring, rebounding and blocks titles at the same time in one World Series.
Considering Wang Zelin's map-shooting attributes that he showed in the NBA, many media have already come to the Tianchao Men's Basketball area with faces full of joy, preparing small notebooks to record Wang Zelin's interview quotes.
Unfortunately, they will be disappointed next.
Because the protagonist they are looking forward to has already made contact with the Gasol brothers, and they are ready to experience some Spanish style tonight.
Speaking of which, in the past half month, his biggest regret is that he has never had the opportunity to learn Spanish.
Now that he's done with the game, he's got the medal, and he can finally go out and have some fun.
Of course, it’s okay to taste wild flowers and the like occasionally. If he really had to choose, he would still prefer Asian girls with yellow skin and black hair.
…
On September 18, the men's basketball team got off the plane in Kyoto and received the warmest welcome from the fans.
He was very busy in the next few days.
On the 19th, Wang Zelin and his teammates were interviewed by leaders and talked about positive topics.
Um……
Even if he wins a bronze medal, he can be interviewed by leaders, which makes the table tennis players who are about to be overwhelmed by the weight of the gold medal very envious...
On the 20th, Wang Zelin and the men's basketball team went to Hong Kong and Bay Province respectively to perform with celebrities from the entertainment circles in both places.
On the 21st, Wang Zelin returned to his hometown in Fujian with his parents.
There is a saying: wealth that does not return home is like walking at night in brocade clothes.
Even Xiang Yu, the most powerful general in China and his brother, the Overlord of Western Chu, could not avoid it, let alone a mere layman like Wang Zelin.
After experiencing the customs and customs of other countries in the first half of the year, the royal family and the queen mother felt that the motherland is still the land of great beauty that makes people reluctant to leave.
The main purpose of returning to his hometown this time was to build a new house, and he needed to go home to organize it.
Secondly, at the invitation of Xunxing Club, I could meet some of my former teammates and young people in the club, and it would be best to have a friendly match.
Of course, whether to hold a friendly match or not depends entirely on Wang Zelin himself.
Returning to my hometown this time, wearing the glory of a World Cup bronze medal, is even more troublesome than returning to my hometown to promote sneakers during my rookie season. Wherever I go, I am surrounded by people.
After a few days, Wang Zelin truly felt the treatment of a national treasure "giant panda".
On September 25th, Wang Zelin started his business activities. With the success of having just won the Men's Basketball World Cup scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shots champion, triple-double, and bronze medal, Anta officially announced that it will be on Christmas Day in the NBA 2014~2015 season.
Before the war, the second generation sneakers were launched for Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin also got first-hand information from Anta. Judging from the photos, in addition to the overall color change of the second-generation sneakers, the most conspicuous ones are still the Anta logo and the initial letter "W" representing his surname.
.
Of course, the sneakers also look cooler.
As for the high-tech content inside, Wang Zelin read it over and understood, and asked Zhou Yang to continue discussing sneaker sales with Anta officials.
Anyway, when the time comes, his main task is to show his face.

On September 27, Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian returned to Portland.
After returning home and soaking in the bathtub, Wang Zelin opened the system and clicked on the lottery panel:
Current fan value: 51.32 million!
Boy, is this the benefit of achieving a historic breakthrough in the international arena?
Moreover, I only got the bronze medal now. If I get the silver medal or the gold medal in the future, I won’t be able to take off!
Two days later, September 29th was the Portland Trail Blazers' media opening day for the new season.
"Hey, are there a lot of people here?"
When I drove to the headquarters, there were already a large number of media reporters outside, and the number was getting bigger every year.
Among them, there are dozens of people in the Chinese media alone.
"Wow, there must be more than a hundred people at the scene, right?"
In the passenger seat, Yi Jianlian, who was hitchhiking, saw the sea of people outside and didn't want to get out of the car.
When they saw Wang Zelin's car approaching, reporters from all around gathered around him.
"Hey hey hey, guys! A new season is coming, and I think we should all start with a happy mood. But unfortunately, I can't answer any of your questions now. I'll talk to you later."
Wang Zelin opened the skylight and said with a smile.
