After returning to China, in order to recover his body, Zhao Feiyang basically gave up his previous daily training, rarely slept in, and even tried all the things he wanted to eat but could not eat before.
This kind of life made him feel extremely comfortable.
After all, it is too difficult to maintain a high level of self-discipline like LeBron James has for more than ten years.
It's okay that LeBron is American, and the United States doesn't have that much delicious food, but China is different. Chinese food is really diverse.
Zhao Feiyang was able to restrain himself in the United States. After all, he couldn't eat authentic Chinese food, but after returning to China, he really couldn't resist the temptation of hot pot stir-fries and various stews.
As long as he wants, he can eat specialties from all over the summer.
If you don't relax during the offseason, I'd be really sorry for the long break.
In addition to resting, Zhao Feiyang is also preparing to participate in some domestic activities. Every year, some NBA stars come to China to participate in activities for publicity. Although Zhao Feiyang is also from China, he still can't shirk such an arrangement.
Considering that the "Metamorphosis Generation" also needs publicity recently, Zhao Feiyang did not refuse such an event. It only lasted for a few days anyway.
A few days later, he arrived in Yangcheng City under the arrangement of the organizer.
Here, there is already an NBA star waiting for him. The person who came was none other than James Harden, who had played against Zhao Feiyang before.
Harden is a star of the Rockets, and the Houston Rockets have always had close ties with China because of Yao Ming. Against this background, it is not surprising that Harden came to China to participate in various activities.
This will not only help the Rockets continue to expand the Chinese market, but also allow his personal star value to be more demonstrated here. After all, such a publicity opportunity is quite rare for fans.
Just as Zhao Feiyang expected, the organizer gathered the two people together and followed them to an outdoor stadium in Yangcheng City. The two people appeared amidst the crowds of countless fans.
For a moment, the fans were almost excited.
There were too many enthusiastic fans at the scene cheering and shouting, and some people were howling and making various excited sounds.
What surprised Zhao Feiyang was that these fans gave him the biggest cheers, not Harden who came from afar.
"Zhao Feiyang!"
"Zhao Feiyang!"
"Zhao Feiyang!"
There was a lot of carnival at the scene. If the security personnel hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid the fans would have broken through the fence and entered the infield.
Zhao Feiyang did not expect that he would be so popular, and the same was true for Harden next to him.
Seeing such a grand scene, Harden couldn't help but chat with Zhao Feiyang, "Hey, man, I thought it was me they would welcome... But why, it seems like you are more popular? "
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have participated in the event with you! This was originally your home court, but now you are still so popular..."
Harden's half-joking words made Zhao Feiyang couldn't help laughing.
The two were old acquaintances and had a pretty good relationship. Harden also has a very good attitude towards the Chinese people and Chinese fans, and there has never been any behavior by some stars that seems to be harmonious on the surface but is actually discriminatory in their hearts.
Therefore, Zhao Feiyang is also relatively enthusiastic about Harden.
After the host introduced the two people's appearances, he quickly explained the status of today's activities. In order to make the event more interesting, the organizers not only invited Zhao Feiyang and Harden, but also some popular Internet celebrity players in China.
These players are relatively well-known, or at least very topical. Therefore, after these people gathered together, the atmosphere at the scene became very lively.
"It's an honor to invite so many outstanding players to participate in today's exhibition game... Next we will be divided into two teams to play a dozen... I know you are looking forward to the showdown between Zhao Feiyang and Harden ..."
"That's right! This is also our goal, so next, we will let Zhao Feiyang and Harden lead a team each... The winning team will also receive prizes, and they will receive a bonus of 300,000 yuan. ....."
After the host announced the rules of the scene, the two sides were quickly divided into two teams.
Of course, Zhao Feiyang and Harden know it well. They both know that this is just an exhibition match, and everything is just to make the fans happy. Therefore, they will not take the game too seriously. They mainly focus on playing well. .
"Zhao, I also want to try playing against you... Although this is an exhibition match, I won't let you go if I have the chance... You have to be careful..."
"Come on! I can accept your challenge at any time..."
Grouping also ended quickly.
Zhao Feiyang met his teammates. He didn't know these people well, but he still took the initiative to express his goodwill to them.
"Have a good fight!"
"Come together and defeat them..."
Although the players had different expressions, they also reacted to Zhao Feiyang's words.
On the other side, Harden did the same, calling his teammates together to talk to them. It's a pity that some players can't understand English, which makes the effect of his speech quite average, and some players even look completely confused.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the exhibition match officially started.
As soon as it came up, Harden's team grabbed the ball and the defender took the initiative to initiate the attack. After halftime, Harden received a pass at the top of the arc. After getting the ball, he confidently shot a three-pointer amidst the cheers of the fans.
Zhao Feiyang faced him one-on-one, but he didn't jump at all and allowed Harden to throw the ball away.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
It was Zhao Feiyang's team's turn to fight back.
Another player dribbled the ball again. After halftime, the teammate dribbling the ball also gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang faced Harden with the ball in one hand, and the two faced each other. As soon as Harden took a defensive posture, Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and threw a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The basketball also fell steadily into the basket.
There was constant applause and cheers.
Although Zhao Feiyang and Harden seemed to be just playing casually, the strength and basic skills they displayed have greatly satisfied many fans.
In the remaining time, the two sides continued to increase the number of confrontations.
However, neither Zhao Feiyang nor Harden worked too hard. The two of them also looked relatively lazy when running. They even slowed down to take care of other players and waited until they got to the basket before throwing the ball.
Such a "lazy" style of play also made other players exhausted. Only Zhao Feiyang and Harden did not show too much physical exertion.
