"Ah, it's finally over."
On August 15th, in Barcelona, Spain, Ji Feng finally ended his trip to the legendary stadium, Barcelona’s home stadium, Camp Nou, which also means that Ji Feng’s global tour this summer has officially come to an end.
Today's Barcelona is at its peak in the football world. The unprecedented six championships in the 2008-09 season made this team the strongest and most dominant team in a single season in history. And in the following season, Barcelona was equally perfect. This Barcelona has taken its control of the situation on the field to a new level. The argument of "defending the earth" against "Barcelona in the universe" also reached its peak this season.
The most popular person in the team is of course the Argentinian who has won consecutive Ballon d'Or awards and is also an old friend of Ji Feng's whom he met at the 2008 Olympics.
Coincidentally, after learning that Ji Feng was coming to Spain for his European tour, FC Barcelona took the initiative to contact Ji Feng, hoping to promote cooperation. Of course, Ji Feng had no reason to refuse. After negotiation, the last stop of Ji Feng's European tour was decided. Camp Nou.
This directly triggered riots among sports fans around the world. Now that the most popular sports stars on the planet are combined, this energy is simply too explosive.
And Ji Feng and Messi did not disappoint the fans. During the just-concluded trip, the two teamed up to present an exquisite meal to the fans and sports enthusiasts around the world who are in the offseason. Camp was packed with people, and tickets for the event were hard to come by. CCTV even took the initiative to seek cooperation and broadcast most of the events.
During the event, whether it was Messi playing basketball, Ji Feng playing football, or the two teams playing football and basketball, the fans were hooked. The three-hour event created unparalleled popularity, even after it ended. , the fans all felt that they were still unsatisfied.
Tencent News said bluntly: "It is really the most appropriate way to end the wait this summer!"
After the event, Ji Feng and Messi exchanged jerseys, which also brought a perfect end to the feast.
After the fans left the stadium, Ji Feng, who had not seen each other for a long time, went to Barcelona's most prestigious restaurant to dine with Messi and several other familiar players.
"Hey hey hey, do you want to see a photo of the two strongest men of this era?" The photo of Ji Feng and Messi wearing each other's jerseys that Pique later uploaded also made fans exclaim again and again, killing dozens of them in one fell swoop. The hottest news in the country.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that Ji Feng ended the dinner party and returned to the hotel.
Ji Feng threw himself on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. The long journey from mid-July to now has finally come to an end. This is also the biggest event Ji Feng has ever held, from south to north, from east to west, across the In Europe, Asia and North America, we visited more than 40 cities in more than 20 countries. This level of concentration is definitely unparalleled in the history of sports.
Of course, as expected, this is the first and last time. Although the results are gratifying and the trip has created hundreds of millions of dollars in net income, this kind of life is not what Ji Feng likes. He would rather stay in the ball all day. In the stadium, this time it is purely to repay the fans who support them, and Ji Feng will have the option to participate in future events. Just go to one or two a year.
After finishing this activity, Ji Feng's summer has almost come to an end, and it's time to think about the new season.
As usual, Ji Feng's personal coach and support team have arrived in Turkey, and Ji Feng will go there to prepare for the first game of the new season, which will last for 20 days.
The reason why it is placed in Turkey is of course because Ji Feng will represent the Chinese National Men's Basketball Team in the Men's Basketball World Championship to be held in Turkey this summer.
The 2010 Men's Basketball World Championship will be held in Türkiye from August 28th to September 12th.
The Men's Basketball World Championships was originally a major international event in the world sports championships, second only to the Olympic Games and the World Cup. However, this time the World Championships have gradually begun to taste like crap.
Not to mention that many NBA superstars such as Kobe and James have collectively withdrawn from the World Championships. Core players from teams from various countries such as Dayao, Parker, Ginobili, and Nowitzki will also not participate in the competition due to various reasons.
The World Championships, which had always been a gathering place for stars, suddenly lost focus. Without stars, there would be no driving force for attraction. Today, when clubs are maximizing their interests, in order to keep their stars in the best condition for the new season, NBA teams that have recruited the best basketball stars in the world have suggested to international players that they hope not to participate in the World Championships to avoid injuries. Affects the overall pace of the club.
The World Championship needs a selling point, and the World Championship needs a savior.
Just when FIBA was at a loss, a savior appeared. Ji Feng publicly announced in early August that he would represent the Chinese team in this World Championship.
"Why not." Ji Feng posted a photo of himself wearing the national team uniform.
This directly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans. The World Championships, which was originally unattended and had only a few followers, suddenly became a hot topic. The popularity continued to rise, and it became the most watched game in late August.
The Turkish organizers were as excited as if they had picked up money. As soon as Ji Feng posted the message, Turkish officials issued four messages in a row to welcome Ji Feng to participate in this competition.
"OMG! Big news! The world's number one star has arrived!"
"Turkey welcomes you, Ji Feng, my friend, you will receive the warmest welcome, you will not be disappointed here!"
"The biggest star? Who says he isn't!"
"I'm already looking forward to the start of the game, what about you?"
The excitement makes people think that their account has been hacked...
However, even the Prime Minister of Turkey stood up and welcomed Ji Feng's participation. He even believed that Ji Feng's joining would make the game different.
ESPN even believes that after Ji Feng returns, "China will be the hottest favorite to win the championship."
It was not only the organizers, FIBA and the expectant fans who were surprised, the Chinese men's basketball team also felt happy.
Originally, they were not prepared to recruit Ji Feng, not because of conflicts, but because they did not dare to recruit him easily.
Outsiders don’t understand Ji Feng’s status in the Chinese sports world. To be honest, after Ji Feng led China to the 2008 Olympic Games, no one can match Ji Feng in the history of Chinese sports, let alone Ji Feng in the past three years. His achievements and popularity, as well as his net worth.
The basketball world regards Ji Feng as a true god. No one dares to point fingers in front of Ji Feng. Once, Ji Feng expressed some dissatisfaction with Dayao and other overseas players. Before he could spend the night, the policy changed. So true.
This also makes Ji Feng the most special player in the men's basketball team. The leaders of the Sports Bureau once publicly said that as long as Ji Feng wants to, he can choose to participate or not to participate at any time, and the door of the national team will always be open for him.
This time, the men's basketball team has been prepared for Ji Feng not to play. Although his position and quota have been retained as usual, everyone understands that it is normal for big names to withdraw from this World Championship. Ji Feng has just announced Declaring four consecutive championships, James' Big Three and the Heat are coming again. It is a normal choice to choose to return to the United States.
But he didn't expect that Ji Feng would still fight.
