No matter where the team is, Stephen must first report to the Basketball Management Center. This is a necessary procedure before he can report to the team. However, he had already greeted the Basketball Management Center before Stephen came. The staff of the Basketball Management Center had already understood his strength very clearly, so there was no problem from the airport to the beginning of receiving Stephen from the time he completed all the procedures.

Stephen is still very kind to ordinary staff and has no airs, but he will treat them indifferently if he tries to put them in front of him. For example, the director in charge of the player's physical examination at the Basketball Management Center insists that Stephen participate in the physical examination. Stephen takes him out and throws the physical examination report on his face. He is so angry that he wants to fight Stephen, but Stephen directly picks up with one hand and falls to the ground.

He was scolded by his leader when he ran to complain and came back obediently to apologize to Stephen. Stephen had already left the basketball management center at this time and, under the leadership of the new team leader, went to the national team to report.

Although the national team returned from Europe, it was not here. Instead, it was in a city in the south, waiting to play a warm-up match with the Memphis University basketball team. The Memphis University basketball team reached the final of the College League this season, but was dragged into overtime by the University of Kansas because of a free throw missed, and then was reversed successfully and lost the national championship.

However, since their main players Derek Ross, Joy Dorsey, Chris Douglas Roberts will participate in this year's draft, so the ones who come here should be their non-main lineup. Every year, the national champion or runner-up players of the College League will be very popular, so their main players will usually participate in the draft, and the same is true for Stephen's.

Stephen took a plane to the south and took the special car arranged by the sports department here. Stephen didn't know why it was so troublesome. Seeing the convenient transportation here, all kinds of transportation are very developed, why do you still have to send the local department here to arrange cars specifically? Could it be that trains and buses are not something that people can take?

But after arriving at the local city where the national team is located, something even more surprising happened. As soon as he saw a big sign on the side of the road, "Langshan Welcomes You", several police cars surrounded him quietly. Stephen thought that the car he was riding in violated some traffic rules, but he didn't expect that he was escorting him.

Seeing two police motorcycles and two police cars escorting themselves in the middle, the lights and sirens were always roaring, a leisurely and contentment still arises in Stephen's heart. This kind of respectful feeling is indeed good.

Moreover, the car did not go directly to the hotel where the national team was staying, but came to another hotel and met some municipal party secretary, mayor and other leaders with big belly. Although they rarely dealt with such people, Stephen knew that the more they were unfamiliar, the better they would be to show unfamiliar populations. Sure enough, Stephen's indifferent attitude made these people look at Stephen more high. As expected, he is indeed a big star, and his attitude is arrogant to all living beings.

After a tasteless meal, although the food tasted good, even the delicious food became unpalatable to so many people who were not interested in talking. After the meal, Stephen said goodbye to them a little anxiously.

He left here on the grounds of rushing to meet his teammates and came to Chang'an Hotel where the national team is located.

Yao Ming and the others knew that Stephen was coming, so they had been waiting here for a long time. Many people were a little dissatisfied with the treatment Stephen enjoyed. When they came, the whole team enjoyed the treatment. Moreover, the other party’s municipal party secretary did not attend, and the mayor came over and showed up. Now, only Stephen was the only one, so the municipal party secretary and mayor were asked to entertain him. I wonder if this was the so-called foreign monk who could recite scriptures.

They all have an indescribable thought in their hearts about Stephen's arrival. They are a little looking forward to Stephen's arrival to significantly improve the national team's performance. They will be lucky enough to benefit from it, but they also feel that even if they rely on such an outsider to come, no matter how good the results are, wouldn't others say that they are incompetent?

However, they will not doubt Stephen's strength. They often play international games and are very clear about the intensity of the league's game and the ability of top players. Some of them have tried out in the league's teams, but they have not gotten any chance. Stephen is now the league's leading outside superstar, and will definitely improve the outside strength of the national team, changing the appearance of the national team's poor outside.

They were not worried that Stephen would take their chances. Although with Stephen's arrival, there would definitely be people reducing their playing time, but this is not a problem. No matter how powerful Stephen is, there is only one person, but the game is composed of five people, and a team has more than a dozen people.

But they would not welcome Stephen very much, but as teammates, they still have to have the face they should have. Everyone was present with a smile on their faces, led by Yao Ming, and then introduced to Stephen one by one.

Except for Yi Jianlian, who also plays in the league, Stephen has no impression of other people at all. He can only analyze the other party's position roughly from his height. Four or five people are similar to him and should be his competitors. However, it may be a bit of a compliment to them. Let's say that they are competitors.

However, most people have very friendly attitudes, including those who Stephen is worried about stealing their playing time. Most of them are not much different from Stephen's age, and they are still relatively young. Two or three even talk to Stephen in English, and Stephen joked with them.

In addition to following Yao Ming and Liu's point guard, who was surnamed Liu, who was a very young player with a very old appearance, he did not doubt the opponent's strength, but judging from his figure, he was indeed a little thinner and could adapt to the intensity of international competitions. Stephen was very suspicious.

Like Stephen, they had just had a meal, and after more than an hour of training, they all left after welcoming. Only Yao Ming and the guy named Liu led Stephen to meet the head coach Yunas of the national team. No matter how famous Stephen is, the head coach would not come to greet him. Stephen has to go to see him.
