The busy tone sounded only twice before the call was connected, and Yao Ming's deep voice was immediately heard from the receiver.
"Hi, who is this?"
Yao Ming speaks English, and he speaks fluently.
Thanks to his Yao-style sense of humor, Yao Ming is very popular in the NBA.
"Brother Yao, it's me."
Lin Feng smiled and communicated with Yao Ming in Chinese.
Yao Ming, who was far away in Houston, was stunned when he heard the familiar Chinese. "Are you Chinese? From your voice, I think it's someone I know. Are you... Lin Feng?"
Yao Ming had been paying close attention to the Los Angeles Lakers in recent days.
There was no way; Lin Feng was too awesome; he shocked the entire league.
Teaming up with Kobe, they easily won five consecutive games.
Even when Lin Feng was being interviewed by reporters, Yao Ming was paying attention, so he could recognize that it was Lin Feng's voice at the first moment.
"Haha, it's me, Brother Yao!"
Lin Feng laughed. Could it be that Yao Ming had been paying attention to him?
If not, how could he know who I am so quickly?
"Brother Yao, you must be paying attention to me, right?"
Lin Feng asked narcissistically.
"Haha!" Yao Ming on the other end of the phone also laughed, "Yeah, I'm really following you. You and Kobe are playing great. You've already won five games in a row this season."
Yao Ming was quite envious and wondered why Lin Feng hadn't come to Houston.
"Brother Yao, five consecutive wins is nothing. Kobe and my goal is to win the championship. You guys better be careful this season. Maybe we can meet in the playoffs."
"Haha, okay, I look forward to that day."
Yao Ming immediately looked forward to the national derby. He found it very interesting to meet Lin Feng and Kobe in the playoffs.
"You came to see me today, is there something?"
The two chatted for a while, and Yao Ming took the initiative to talk about business.
He felt that Lin Feng had nothing to do and would not call him. After all, everyone was very busy with training, practicing basketball, and so on.
"Brother Yao, I do have something to ask you today. I want to ask you for a favor."
"Oh? What help?"
Yao Ming was interested. Lin Feng was such a great player, what else did he need help with?
"Brother Yao, this is what I want to do. I want you to talk to the Chinese Basketball Association and ask them to help me change my nationality. What do you think?"
"Do you want to change your Chinese nationality?"
Yao Ming knew that Lin Feng was Chinese American, but now he wanted to change his Chinese nationality.
What the hell?
Ordinary Chinese players were eager to get American citizenship, but Lin Feng was the other way around, rushing to change his Chinese nationality?
"Brother Yao, I want to fight alongside you guys in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I am an American citizen now, so I cannot represent the national team. I need you to help me communicate with the Chinese Basketball Association and tell them that I have acquired Chinese citizenship and will fight with you guys in the 2008 Beijing Olympics."
"this…"
Yao Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He was quite moved, and he never thought that Lin Feng, a Chinese, could be so patriotic.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was coming soon; at most, there was only one and a half years left.
During this period, Lin Feng took the initiative to change his nationality and compete in the Beijing Olympics with them.
This was a good thing, absolutely a good thing!
Yao Ming knew exactly what Lin Feng's strength was. In the top five plays, Lin Feng appeared every day.
If such an invincible player was selected for the national team, Yao Ming could be sure that although he could not guarantee whether the Chinese men's basketball team could win the gold medal, reaching the semi-finals was a sure thing.
"Lin Feng, this is great. I am impressed by your awareness. I will take care of this matter. I will communicate with the Chinese Basketball Association and explain your situation to them."
After getting Yao Ming's reply, Lin Feng smiled; he knew that Brother Yao would definitely help.
"Brother Yao, thank you very much. I will thank you after the matter is done."
"What kind of words are you talking about? It should be the 1.4 billion people in China who should thank you for taking the initiative to go to the 2008 Beijing Olympics to win glory for our country. The 1.4 billion people should all remember your great decision today!"
"Haha, Brother Yao, you're too kind."
Lin Feng laughed out loud.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the domestic basketball association right away. Once they know the news, they will definitely do everything they can to help you achieve it."
Yao Ming laughed and said, "You don't know that you are not only famous in the United States but also a big star in our country. Many people know you, and some mainstream media in China are vying to report on you."
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Lin Feng was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that he was so famous in China.
After being narcissistic for a while, Lin Feng said, "Okay, Brother Yao, I won't bother you anymore. Let's do this for now. We'll meet on the court some other day. I'll treat you to a meal after the game."
"Okay, hang up now. I should go to training too."
"Um."
After both parties hung up the phone, Lin Feng was very happy.
With Yao Ming stepping in, the matter was almost a sure thing.
Not long after he finished talking to Yao Ming, Su Muqing called him.
"Baby, have you communicated with Yao Ming?"
"Yeah, we just finished talking."
"What did he say?"
Su Muqing really wanted to know the result. Lin Feng would participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. On that day, she would definitely follow Lin Feng back to China and watch him represent the national team at Wukesong.
"Brother Yao said that he would take care of this matter and asked me to wait for news. I think the Basketball Association will still give Brother Yao some face if he takes action."
"Of course. No matter what, Yao Ming is the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team. The leaders of the Basketball Association attach great importance to him. What he says will definitely work."
"Yes, I also considered that Brother Yao is very prestigious in the country, so I asked Brother Yao for help."
"Well, okay then, baby, I'm busy, so I won't say more to you. I hope Yao Ming will give you news soon."
"Okay, hang up now."
Lin Feng put away his phone and ran out to train.
There was a baseball field outside. When Lin Feng passed by, he saw many friends playing ball.
When several friends saw Lin Feng, they immediately exclaimed.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? Look, that red-haired guy is A Lin from the Lakers, isn't he?"
"It's A-Lin. So A-Lin lives nearby? We didn't know that."
A little black boy was holding the ball, staring at Lin Feng with excitement on his face.
"Hi! A-Lin, are you A-Lin? Can you sign an autograph for us? Or can we play ball with you?"
These guys didn't look very old; they should be high school students.
Lin Feng walked over with a smile, took the basketball from Xiao Hei, and asked, "You guys want to play a game of pickup basketball with me?"
"Yeah, Lin, can we?"
"Of course, you can. The question is, do you have the strength to fight back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng slapped the basketball, ran to the free-throw line, jumped up quickly, and slammed the basketball into the basket!
This scene was reflected in the eyes of several little friends, and they were all stunned.
Dunk from the free-throw line?
Even though the free-throw line on the baseball field was not standard, Lin Feng's gorgeous dunk really conquered these high school students.
