Chapter 1272 1271. I Want to Play Center! (4/10 Request for Double Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 1272 1271. I want to play center! (410 asking for double monthly pass)

On August 20th, the first match day of the World Championships, the Chinese team will play Japan for the first time!

And it’s the first game of this World Championship!

What does it feel like to have red flags flying all over the city?

People in Saitama Prefecture are feeling it now!

Different from domestic laws, ordinary people in Japan can fly the flags of other countries. Of course, it may be illegal for other reasons. Japanese people flying the Chinese flag themselves will also have some problems, such as the company where they work will take action, etc...

But Chinese tourists are concentrated in Saitama Prefecture, and they want to turn Saitama Prefecture into China Town!

Starting from August 10th, because of this World Championships, Chinese tourists who have bought World Championships game tickets, round-trip air tickets, and booked hotels can get a simpler temporary visa. The validity period is from August 10th to 9th. On September 9th, Japan's economy is in recession, so the Football World Cup and the Basketball World Championships will be held, just to promote tourism.

Then something happened that exceeded Japan's expectations. Hundreds of thousands and nearly a million Chinese tourists came to Japan. There are usually so many tourists, and they were naturally crazy with joy.

In 2005, the total number of Chinese tourists to Japan reached 6.73 million, and more than one million Chinese visited Japan once or multiple times.

For this World Championships in Japan, the number of people who came here in a month, or even in just a few days, is almost close to the total number of Chinese tourists last year!

But this time, they were not happy!

Some Chinese tourists bought tickets for the Chinese team’s five games. Because every country plays at least five games and goes to all five venues, they started selling country-specific tickets very early. To increase attendance, one of the reasons why the four popular countries are separated into four groups is to maximize ticket sales as much as possible.

A small number of fans bought tickets for all the Chinese team’s group stage games. Most of them bought tickets for the Japanese attractions they wanted to visit, which are closer to the cities with World Championship venues. They came to Japan. It’s not just about watching the Chinese team’s games, traveling is also an important purpose. It happens to be during the summer vacation, and not all people who come to Japan are fans. Fans only account for a small part. The largest Saitama Super Arena has only 50,000 seats. It is usually used. Most people who came to play football and baseball just came to join in the fun and did not buy tickets.

Then... the five host cities all became Chinatowns, with hundreds of thousands of Chinese in each city. Because of the opening game of the World Championships in Saitama Prefecture, the Chinese team played against the Japanese team... Tourists from other cities, Most of them gathered here... and then... hotels and B&Bs ran out of room...

Nowadays, tourists who have bought game tickets and obtained temporary visas, and Chinese tourists who originally held Japanese visas, are trying to occupy Japan. This has put a lot of pressure on transportation and accommodation in Saitama Prefecture. The Japanese government can only increase Send manpower to clear the way...

The strength gap between the Chinese team and the Japanese team is too big. All Chinese fans want to see the Chinese team abuse Japan. Even if they are not fans, they want to experience it up close.

…

From the afternoon of August 18, Liu Mang often heard the sound of collective singing of the national anthem. Some fans ran outside their hotels to sing the national anthem in the middle of the night. Liu Mang and others were very moved, and then asked the national team staff to sing the national anthem. Go to get some guidance, but if you don’t listen, you still have to deal with it... I can only call the police...

It's not that Liu Mang and others are unkind, and they didn't expect that the enthusiasm of their country's fans would actually affect the rest of their participating players.

Liu Mang feels that domestic fans still don't quite understand what "home field advantage" is. Saitama Prefecture has been "occupied" and they have to go to the hotel where the Japanese team is staying!

But... After waking up, Liu Mang and his teammates were very excited.

This feels great!

With the expectations of the people across the country, their fighting spirit skyrocketed!

Unlike the previous unreasonable and high expectations that made members of the national team feel stressed, this time the expectations of the Chinese people have made them more motivated!

In the final analysis, it is still because of strength!

On the afternoon of August 19, the Chinese team participated in the opening ceremony of the World Championships. After watching the performance, the Chinese team players were not thinking about this at all. After the players from each country were introduced at the appearance ceremony, the Chinese team was discussing what to do. against Japan.

Do you want to play around, or do you want to play around?

In the end, it was unanimously decided to go to death!

And don't be careless, know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight without danger! The Chinese team got the list of players from all the participating countries this time, and Liu Mang and others got a list of the Japanese team.

After looking at their information...

Liu Mang felt...it wasn't that he didn't want to pay attention...

Japanese team center Satoru Furuta, 35 years old, is 1.99 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms.

Liu Mang himself is 1.93 meters tall, and his latest physical weight is 92 kilograms...

The best player of the Japanese team is Yuta Tabashi who played in the preseason for the Suns in 2004. He is a 1.75 meter point guard...

Followed by the Takeuchi brothers who are quite famous in Asia on the front line, Takeuchi Joji and Takeuchi Kosuke, both are 2.05 meters tall.

Except for Yuta Taguchi and the Takeuchi brothers who performed well in last year's Asian Cup, Liu Mang heard Yi Jianlian say that he didn't know anyone else.

Liu Mang suddenly had an idea and called Yao Ming and head coach Silver Fox Harris aside.

"Coach, BIG-Yao, let's discuss something." Liu Mang said in English, fearing that Silver Fox wouldn't understand.

"What's the matter? Ace, don't you want to play tomorrow? It's okay, you and Yao Ming can both rest." Silver Fox is so direct...

"No, we all have to play, we have to play, you don't understand our country, but coach, I want to do this..." Liu Mang asked Yao Ming and Silver Fox to move their heads closer and told him what he wanted to do.

Yao Ming and Silver Fox's eyes widened, and they looked at the Japanese team list together. It's not that it's impossible...

Yao Ming's reaction was that it was fun!

"Ace, I support you!" Yao Ming expressed his opinion decisively.

And Silver Fox was a little scared. How much hatred does this have for the Japanese team?

If Liu Mang knew what Silver Fox was thinking, he would say: This hatred will last forever, this is national hatred!

But Yao Ming also agreed, Silver Fox quickly found the team leader, Coach Zhang, who is also the former head coach of the Chinese men's basketball national team, and asked what to do about this matter.

Coach Zhang's eyes lit up: "Just do as Ace said!"

"..."Silver Fox didn't expect it. Americans know Liu Mang's erratic personality very well, but Yao Ming and Coach Zhang are both stable people. Why did they suddenly become unstable when playing against the Japanese team?

On August 20, 2006, the opening match of the World Championships is coming!

This World Championships will last for a total of 12 days, from the 20th to the 24th, with five games every day, divided into three periods, and held in five cities. Some games will be played at the same time.

But the game at 3 pm on the 20th is only between the Chinese team and the Japanese team.

On the day of the game, when the starting lineup of the Chinese team was announced, everyone who was paying attention to this game was shocked.

Liu Mang, the position behind it says... Center!

The World Championships information is more troublesome. I have collected it before, but it took some time to summarize it. I will continue to write the next chapter~I will try my best to write the sixth chapter in the evening. Please vote for the monthly ticket! Double the last few days, it's a waste if you don't vote~
