no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 209 Pat Riley is a ruthless man
The first warm-up match of the men's basketball team was against the Spanish team, and the game was very intense.

Because the two teams are not in the same group, if the two teams meet in the knockout round, this is their only chance to get familiar with each other, so they play very seriously.

In the end, the men's basketball team lost the game.

On the one hand, Deng Huade was very cautious in using Yao Ming and did not let Yao Ming play too much time.

On the other hand, Jeremy Lin has just arrived in the men's basketball team and he still needs time to adjust.

Just after the game, Xu Yong and Jeremy Lin found Deng Huade and talked about Jeremy Lin's use.

Then in the following warm-up match, the men's basketball team defeated Lithuania, Serbia and France one after another, achieving a three-game winning streak in the warm-up match.

Yao Ming still doesn't have much playing time, playing only about 10 minutes in a game.

The key is that Jeremy Lin has found his niche.

He started with Xu Yong in the opening meeting, allowing Xu Yong to play without the ball to get a feel for the game.

Then he spends more time holding the ball and leading the team in the substitute transition period, which allows Xu Yong to get sufficient rest time.

If the men's basketball team did not have Xu Yong, Jeremy Lin would not accept such a role.

But when Xu Yong, the MVP and FMVP, the second super giant after Jordan to complete the season's honors, is on the team, such a role is Jeremy Lin's honor.

And with Jeremy Lin, Xu Yong can finally get some normal rest time after going through the world championships and finals.

Judging from the results of the warm-up match, naturalized Jeremy Lin was very successful.

As for the men's basketball team being able to find Jeremy Lin's instruction manual so quickly, it was actually to be expected.

The suggestions put forward by Xu Yong are actually not very advanced. They are basically what the Bulls did to Rose last season.

It works because the current team structure of the men's basketball team is so similar to that of the Bulls.

Deng Huade's tactical system is the same as Thibodeau's defensive counterattack; Jeremy Lin is good at pick-and-rolls, and the Bulls' positional battles are also initiated from pick-and-rolls. In this regard, he may be more suitable than Rose.

The men's basketball team has finished its warm-up match, and there is finally some movement in the NBA free market.

Deron finally made a choice. He did not choose to go to Dallas, but stayed with the Nets.

There are many reasons on the surface. Why is it inappropriate for the Nets to pay so much for him and leave? The discrimination in Dallas is too severe and he doesn't want to go.

But saying a thousand words and ten thousand actually comes from one word: money.

This is actually the first choice for most players in the NBA when they think about things.

Winning a championship is naturally a good thing, but for most players, winning a championship is just to increase their worth and get more money.

So why go the extra step when you can get more money directly?
What's more, he knows Deron's body best.

Therefore, Deron's choice can be said to be unexpected, but it is completely reasonable.

With Deron's decision, Nash's next home soon surfaced.

He chose to return to Dallas with a three-year, 3 million contract, sign-and-trade, and make the final impact of his career with Nowitzki.

When this news came out, the DNA of many old fans was touched.

Nash and Nowitzki, the Three Musketeers in Dallas, what a long memory.

And the Mavericks did not stop their reinforcements. After signing Nash, they followed the Rockets and quoted the Spurs' Danny Green with a three-year, 3 million poison contract.

The idea of ​​​​this offer is very clear. In addition to Leonard, Nash must find an outside defensive gate to wipe his ass to maintain the team's overall offensive and defensive balance.

After Popovich cursed Mogou wildly in his heart, he gritted his teeth and matched the contract.

Green showed what they lack most in perimeter defense last season, and they can't afford the risk of letting him go.

But in this way, it is basically difficult for the Spurs to keep George Hill.

"This is the appetizer for the new season."

This was Xu Yongzai's first feeling after seeing the news.

Because James and Howard, the biggest players, still have no confirmed news.

Of course, this appetizer actually affects James and Howard.

For example, James's way to Dallas was blocked.

The Mavericks' offer to Green shows that Cuban doesn't like James at all, and the previous rumors are just wishful thinking on Riley's part.

It seems that we really have to wait until August to get the results.

……

At the end of July, the 7 London Olympics officially kicked off.

At the opening ceremony, Yao Ming became the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic team.

This was the final game of his national team career. When he appeared at the front of the team, there were overwhelming cheers.

Although this is London, Yao Ming now has a world championship and two NBA championships, and his historical status has been greatly improved.

But what’s even more interesting is that when the entrance ceremony ended and the camera swept over the Chinese team, it stayed on Xu Yong for a long time.

The cheers in the stadium also reached a climax.

Xu Yong waved his hand and felt a little surprised.

He hasn't come to Europe much, and he didn't expect that he would be so popular in Europe.

But maybe he himself has forgotten that the first game he played in the NBA was a preseason game in London.

Moreover, he is also a former teammate of Luol Deng.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Yong and Yao Ming returned to the Olympic Village to rest.

Along the way, athletes came to take photos with them from time to time.

Especially Xu Yong, there are a lot of female athletes taking photos with him. Although most of them have small breasts, there are many good-looking ones among them. Their healthy and natural beauty is completely different compared to Hollywood actresses.

Many of them even left their contact information for him, wanting to communicate with him in depth and discuss life.

After all, even Scarlett can't refuse a handsome, strong, durable, rich, and single basketball player.

"I heard that the number of umbrellas in the Olympic Village this year is the largest in the history of the Olympic Games." Yao Ming said with a smile after finally getting rid of those people.

As the group that has the least control over the lower body, Europeans use themselves to judge others, and they have considered this aspect quite well.

Xu Yong smiled and shook his head. Yao Ming was obviously envious. Is he... the one who needs an umbrella?

"What do you think of the one posted by Bogut?" Yao Ming said as he sat on the bed when he arrived at the place where he lived.

"He's thinking about shit." Xu Yong answered directly.

Just yesterday, Bogut posted a status on social media, saying that the Chinese men's basketball team is completely overrated, and also said that the Australian team will teach the Chinese team a hard lesson in the opening game.

Although he knew that Bogut was an absolute idiot on social media, he said this just to gain a sense of presence.

"It seems that Zhu Ba is still gentle." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Xu Yong nodded in agreement.

During the World Championships in Turkey, the two teams were in the same group. The Australian team couldn't afford to lose and fought against the Chinese team, but Zhu Fangyu taught them a lesson.

I didn’t expect that two years later, the scar would heal so quickly and forget the pain.

Oh no, Bogut did not play in the World Championships due to injury. It seems that he was not in pain.

Speaking of which, people in Australia are different from other countries. They are the descendants of criminals. If you don't beat them up, they won't be afraid of you.

"We need a stunning opening." Xu Yong continued.

Bogut is indeed mentally retarded, but he is certainly not the only one who looks down on them.

This time it was Yao Ming's turn to nod.

A good start is important, and the more popular the more effective it is.

……

The next day, the men’s basketball team ushered in the first day of competition.

At the London Olympic Basketball Stadium, the match between the Chinese team and the Australian team was scheduled for prime time.

This arena is the one that Xu Yong and Luol Deng saw under construction when the Bulls came to play preseason games three years ago.

Well, an arena without restrooms.

Before the game, head coach Deng Huade fully emphasized this point and asked the players to eat less and drink less water.

The conditions are just that, and as an athlete you can only overcome them.

During the warm-up before the game, quite a few Chinese fans came to the scene.

Although they were thousands of miles apart and the conditions were harsh, these fans still tried their best to come to the event.

On the one hand, the country has developed and has the conditions; on the other hand, fans also know that this is Yao Ming's last dance and the only chance for the men's basketball team to win the Olympics. Who would want to miss it if he is capable?

During Australia's half, Bogut sat on the sidelines to rest.

His stomach felt a little bloated now.

There was a lot of delicious food in London, so he didn't keep his mouth shut.

After resting for a while and feeling more comfortable, he stood up and glanced at the Chinese men's basketball team, with a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.

Can the Australian team beat the Chinese team?

The chance is actually not great.

Although there are many new players in the Australian men's basketball team, now they are encountering the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history.

As the core player of this Australian team, he naturally knows this.

But what made him unhappy was that they were ignored, and they were ignored by the Asians whom he despised the most.

That's why he said what he said on social media.

They are noble white people, how dare you, a lowly yellow man?

So even if he can't win, he still wants to disgust the Chinese team.

And best of all, he can destroy one or two people in the game.

See, this is what happens when you ignore them.

The warm-up on the court ended quickly. After their respective opening ceremonies, the starting lineups of both sides were also announced.

Australian team: Matthew Dellavedova, Patrick Mills, Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes, Bogut.

Chinese team: Jeremy Lin, Sun Yue, Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming moved the ball back to half court and the game officially started.

Jeremy Lin came up and started a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming. He grabbed the ball in the first step and then made a close throw.

However, he underestimated Bogut's reaction speed. Just after he released the ball, Bogut flew up and fanned the ball out of the court.

"You weak guy, do you think you can score in front of me? You are just a weak guy!"

After completing the block, Bogut also held up Jeremy Lin's body and kept talking.

Jeremy Lin turned around and did not argue with him.

"Shut your stinky mouth!" But at this moment, Xu Yong walked up to Bogut and spat in his face.

Bogut was obedient and shut up immediately. Xu Yong is a ruthless character in the NBA, literally.

The referee saw something was wrong and came over to separate the two.

"What did you say? What did you just say? Who do you think you are?!"

Then, like a dog that is quiet in person but barks across the cage, Bogut continued to chatter.

But after Xu Yong glared at him fiercely, he fell silent for an instant.

Xu Yong suddenly felt bored. Bogut was nicknamed Mad Dog in China, and he was really just like a dog.jpg.

He turned around and pulled Jeremy Lin and said, "His shot blocking is okay. Be careful and pay attention to Yao Ming's position."

Xu Yong said it relatively simply, and Jeremy Lin nodded frequently.

Because Xu Yong's words have an implicit meaning, that is, he will continue to play with the ball. This is a kind of trust.

It was still the Chinese team's possession. The ball came out from the sideline, and Jeremy Lin continued to play pick-and-roll with Yao Ming.

It was still a quick grab in the first step. After seeing Bogut pounce, Jeremy Lin quickly passed the ball to Yao Ming next to him.

Yao Ming took the ball and took one step to break through the basket.

Bogut had just blocked Jeremy Lin and was full of confidence. Facing Yao Ming, he waved his long arms and wanted to score twice.

But Yao Ming suddenly showed strength.

"Oh!"

Just like that, he hit the ball directly into the basket through Bogut!
This sudden outburst made everyone unable to react at first.

Even Bogut was stunned on the spot as if someone had slapped him in the face.

Then when the referee's belated whistle sounded, the scene was instantly filled with cheers from the fans.

This is too explosive!

When Yao Ming heard the whistle, he waved his fist in front of him and gave Bogut one of his favorite tomatoes.

Xu Yong went over and gave him a high five.

They say rest, but Yao Ming has been resting for more than a month after playing the fifth game of the Finals.

In more than a month, they only played a few warm-up games. Deng Huade didn't let Yao Ming use his strength, and Yao Ming was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable.

Bogut can be said to have hit the muzzle of the gun accurately this time.

Yao Ming made a solid extra free throw, and the Chinese team started 3-0.

Looking back, Bogut was carrying Yao Ming in the high post to pass the ball.

His characteristics are rebounding, defense and high-post support. He is an excellent insider to win the championship.

Although, compared with Yao Ming, who was also the top pick, he seems a bit lame.

But just when everyone, even his teammates, thought he was going to provide support, he suddenly accelerated toward the basket and dribbled straight into the paint.

He wants to pick up the face he just lost!

His sudden attack of cold arrows was indeed a bit unexpected, but Yao Ming was very focused tonight and basically reacted in the next second to chase after him.

Just when Bogut thought he was about to break free and perform a flying slam dunk.

"boom!"

Yao Ming saw the right opportunity and blocked the ball from behind!

There was a burst of whistles and cheers.

Bogut was dunked and blocked at the beginning, which is much stronger than his presence on social media.

And when Bogut looked down on the Chinese team, how could the British people at the scene look down on him, the descendant of a criminal?
Bogut got a little carried away.

After Farke got some air, he turned around and asked for the ball in the low post to prepare for a single against Yao Ming.

Dellavedova didn't give the ball in this time.

Because of his unconventional character, Bogut is not as respected in the Australian national team as he imagined.

How else could it be that as the only No. [-] pick in Australian history and the best player in the NBA, he was not the captain but Delavandova was the captain?

This guy, if he is stupid, will directly criticize his national team teammates on social media.

Australia played a wave of tactics. Xu Yong took advantage of the opportunity and directly hit Mills' layup on the backboard.

After grabbing the rebound, he threw the ball forward, where Sun Yue was already flying down.

"Sun Yue, detain him!"

Then, accompanied by the familiar commentary of coach Yang Wuzhang, Sun Yue performed a flying dunk on the fast break.

The Chinese team started 5-0!

The venue was filled with cheers from fans.

Whether they were local fans in the UK, China, or other countries, they all gave the Chinese team their warmest cheers.

They expected the Chinese team to be strong, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.

You must know that the Australian team is a stable top eight or even top four team in this tournament.

However, a team of this level was pushed to the ground and rubbed by the Chinese team at the beginning. It is worthy of being considered the most likely to bring down the Dream Team [-].

Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led 25 to 11, directly beating the Australian team in a single quarter.

Xu Yong sat firmly on the bench to rest.

To be honest, the quality of this Australian team is better than that of the World Championships two years ago, especially since the Australian team two years ago did not have Bogut.

But who calls Bogut so stupid? Not only he and Yao Ming saw that social media, but other members of the Chinese team must have also seen it.

You keep barking like a dog, why don't you hold back your energy and beat you?
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese team continued to increase the score.

In addition to the quality of this Chinese team, another feature is that it has enough space.

The fiba arena is small, which is actually very important.

The reason why European basketball is great is because everyone has solid basic skills and can shoot.

For the Chinese team, Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yuequan can all shoot in the starting lineup.

On the bench, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Zhizhi can shoot better than the starters.

Therefore, Jeremy Lin is particularly comfortable playing in this kind of team, and he can fully utilize his strong breakthrough ability.

This quarter lasted for more than four minutes, and the two sides began to replace their main players one after another.

At this time, the score on the court was 36 to 18, which was already doubled, and it was about to reach 20 points.

With this kind of point difference, the team's strength is obviously stronger than that of their opponents. Generally speaking, they should settle down and win the game steadily.

But the Chinese team obviously won't do that tonight.

Jeremy Lin came off the court to rest, and Xu Yong also started to play with the ball.

He summoned Yao Ming for a pick-and-roll, and then quickly broke through Bogut.

Bogut's face turned green. Did everyone on the Chinese team rush to him all night?

He tried hard to stop Xu Yong, but he soon found that he couldn't keep up with Xu Yong's rhythm.

Accelerate, hit hard, stop and turn around, shake Bogut away, turn around and easily pick the basket.

Xu Yong played a textbook dislocation attack.

Of course, the score difference was easily widened to 20 points.

The last time they met, the Chinese team won by 20 points, but this time it was already 20 points before halftime was over!
The bench of the Chinese team was in a state of excitement. Yao Ming also smiled and high-fived Xu Yong while retreating.

Today's game focuses on one thing: to win, Bogut must die.

Bogut still wants the ball, but Dellavedova no longer wants to give it to him.

If Bogut hadn't deliberately looked for trouble before the game, the Chinese team wouldn't have been so cruel.Bogut hasn't experienced it, but he experienced that game two years ago.

When you can't beat a ball or a fight, the best option is to finish the game honestly.

After all, the main opponent of the Chinese team is not you, so why are you looking for presence when you have nothing to do?

Before Bogut reached the ball, his breathing became heavier. Suddenly his face turned pale and he felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

According to medical research, when a person is angry, the brain is stimulated, which affects gastric acid secretion and digestive tract peristalsis, leading to indigestion and, more recently, abdominal pain. When a person continues this process, this process will accelerate.

Of course Xu Yong didn't know this. He only saw that Bogut wanted the ball but couldn't get it. After his face turned pale, he felt happy to see it.

Then after the defense returned to the offensive end in the next round, he directly cooperated with Yao Ming.

It's still a pick-and-roll, but the ball is given to Yao Ming, and he makes a cut without the ball.

Before cutting into the three-second zone, he pointed directly to the sky, and after seeing Yao Ming throw the ball away, it took off.

Bogut: French...

"Oh!"

Xu Yong knew that Bogut played dirty and had moves, so the ball was fully exerted in the air and he rode Bogut directly into the basket!

After all, he was also the figure who dunked on Gasol in the international arena and Thabeet in the NBA.

Bogut enjoyed a crotch humiliation.

Then he got angry.

A rabbit will bite when he is anxious, but Bogut will jump over a wall when he is anxious!
After Xu Yong landed, he directly pressed against Xu Yong and started spitting out the fragrance.

However, before Xu Yong could make a move, someone was already rushing towards him.

And when that man rushed over, other members of the Australian team got out of the way.

Just because that person is Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu squeezed directly between Xu Yong and Bogut, and soon Bogut squatted down with a painful expression on his abdomen.

No one could see what was happening.

Until the referee came and separated Zhu Fangyu and Bogut.

The game also entered a technical timeout.

Then the scene showed a slow motion picture.

Zhu Fangyu didn't stop going up to Bogut's mouth. After being sprayed with saliva, he punched Bogut directly in the stomach.

In the World Championships two years ago, he performed well in boxing, but the price was that he was suspended for three games and almost couldn't even compete in the knockout rounds.

So this time he was smart and aimed directly at Bogut's belly, and immediately retreated to prepare for defense.

But who would have thought that a guy as big as Bogut wouldn't be able to withstand a beating at all.

You must know that there is a lot of meat in the stomach, which is one of the most resistant parts of the human body.

Bogut was on the bench, breathing heavily.

When you have a stomachache and someone punches you in the stomach, the result will definitely not be a negative but a positive, but excruciating pain.

Even because he had eaten so much, he felt like his stomach was beginning to churn.

He really felt like he was going to throw up.

But the coach said before the game that there was no restroom in this venue, so he could only forcefully push down the stuff that filled his throat.

The result of the referee's penalty over there also came out. Zhu Fangyu received a flagrant foul and was expelled.

Although this move is not actually big, in the international arena, the Chinese team cannot even think of benefiting from penalties even if it is playing at home.

But what is very interesting is that when Zhu Fangyu was sent out, Deng Hua pulled him and whispered to him for a while, and punched him twice on the shoulder, obviously very much approving of the latter's approach.

The fiery coach rushed to the technical stage immediately after seeing Bogut's actions just now.

The game continued, and Bogut was temporarily placed off the court to rest for 2 minutes.

Then the Chinese team continued to widen the point difference.

Although Bogut did not perform well tonight, his ability to protect the frame is still better than other Australian insiders.

There was no way, when the score difference reached 25 points, the Australian team could only replace Bogut again.

Bogut took a deep breath before taking the court.

After sitting on the sidelines for 2 minutes, he thought he would feel better.

But I never thought that the vomiting was suppressed by him, but it seemed to erupt from below.

Although this seems reasonable, after all, you won't let me come out from above, so I can only change my mouth.

So now he's paying tribute to Pierce, trying to contract his sphincter.

And now he was not only cursing the Chinese team, but also the organizer. What god thought of not using a bathroom? He really wanted to press that person's mouth under his butt and let him taste his own. Yellow juice nectar.

Bogut was replaced and the game continued.

Xu Yong's attention has been on Bogut.

Then he discovered that Bogut was indeed much more honest.

Sure enough, as I thought before, this kind of person is born to be beaten.

Because the point difference was still widening, Xu Yong also took a walk on the court, and then handed the ball to Jeremy Lin for control.

In the Chinese team's offense, Jeremy Lin and Yao Ming continued to play pick-and-rolls to break through Bogut.

This time he didn't choose a throw, but an underhand layup after getting past Bogut.

His first step is indeed very fast, and it is basically impossible for Bogut to block his shot.

But at this moment, Bogut pressed his entire body weight directly onto Jeremy Lin from behind.

Jeremy Lin instantly lost his balance in the air and then fell out of the baseline.

Xu Yong was instantly furious. He thought that Zhu Fangyu's punch was enough to make this guy honest, but he didn't expect that Bogut didn't remember to hit him at all.

He immediately rushed to Bogut and greeted the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

Bogut was also angry and pushed Xu Yong hard.

After Xu Yong was pushed away, he directly copied Zhu Ba's Japanese left hook two years ago.

"Oh!"

Bogut is not Garnett. He lacks the ability to fight and dodge, and he directly received a solid punch from Xu Yong.

He was beaten to the point of shaking his head, and then performed a... plummet for everyone present.

When the yellow juice gushed out from the trouser legs, time seemed to stand still.

Xu Yong never expected that such a situation would happen, and he jumped away instantly.

When he smelled the stench, he was stunned.

It’s this biological weapon again!And this scene is much more exaggerated than Pierce's original scene!

Jeremy Lin originally felt a little pain from the fall, but when he saw the yellow juice, he felt completely healed. He turned over faster than ever before and ran away quickly.

The Australian team members all jumped away like kangaroos in shock. They couldn't have this teammate anymore.

The referee was also stunned at this time and forgot to blow the whistle.

I have never seen such a battle in my whole life of blowing whistles!

In fact, not to mention those people on the field, the fans at the scene also covered their mouths and wanted to vomit.

The game was interrupted, and even the live broadcast was blocked.

This was a man-made accident not caused by the organizer.

Bogut, who was at the center of the accident at this time, had no stomach pain after the collapse, but his face hurt.

On the one hand, it was Xu Yong's punch, and on the other hand, it was the scene of this society's death.

In fact, he really didn't mean to offend Jeremy Lin, but he was used to playing dirty.

It's like, even if you keep a pet dog, it can't change its habit of eating shit, right?
Then came Xu Yong's punch. He was originally concentrating on contracting his sphincter, but Xu Yong's punch stunned him.

Looking at the "yellow field" he created around him, he really wanted to die.

How can he raise his head on the court after this?
Just when the live broadcast was interrupted, fans went crazy on social media.

Because of Bogut's pre-game clamor, this game has attracted a lot of attention.

The violent beatings on the scene before were also expected by the fans.

But before the director cut the scene, they fully understood what was happening on the field.

"In the past, Pierce's shit littered the NBA arena, and now there is Australia's shit flooding the Fiba arena. This year's basketball game stands out for its flavor."

"Isn't Bogut a woman? How come he was hit from the top, but water came out from the bottom?"

"We all know that dogs like to poop everywhere."

"This is seriously the best game ever."

"Bogut used to be nicknamed 'White Duncan'. I think this is simply an insult to TD. Why don't we call him the 'Yellow Miracle'!"

……

It's a pity that Xu Yong is still in the game at the moment, otherwise he would have burst into laughter when he saw these comments.

Since ancient times, the comment section has produced talents, and there are especially many talents this year.

The game finally resumed after half an hour.

Xu Yong was also ejected for a flagrant foul.

However, the situation of the game cannot be changed. Although the Chinese team has lost a lot of strength without Xu Yong and Zhu Fangyu, but the Australian team has been so beaten by Bogut, there is no fighting spirit at all.

The fans should be the happiest in this subsequent game.

Because when they look at Bogut, they think of the previous scene, and they can't help but laugh when they think of the previous scene.

There is really no going back now.

The Chinese team finally beat the Australian team 90-68 in the opening game and got a good start.

However, after the game, they also received penalties from fiba.

Zhu Fangyu was suspended for 1 game and Xu Yong was suspended for 3 games.

Although beating someone up is fun, there is a price to pay.

This suspension will have a great impact on the men's basketball team's subsequent games.

So in the training session the next day, Xu Yong also solemnly apologized to the team members for his impulsiveness.

After he finished apologizing, Deng Huade came over and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of respect.

It's really hard to find this kind of team leader who can charge forward and take responsibility.

"Don't worry, I will handle the group stage." Yao Ming also said with certainty after Xu Yong came down.

Xu Yong nodded.

Thinking on the bright side, Australia is the team second only to them in strength in this group, and the remaining opponents are relatively weak. It should not be a big problem for the Chinese team to win.

But he has to be more restrained in the following games. If Yao Ming's last dance is ruined because of impulsiveness, it is not worth it.

It was at this time that he noticed someone keeping looking at him. He turned around and saw that it was Jeremy Lin.

After the training, Jeremy Lin came to Xu Yong's room alone.

"Thank you." Jeremy Lin hugged Xu Yong and said words of gratitude when they met, and he was still speaking in Chinese.

Because he was born in the United States, he is considered a native American. His acceptance of the Chinese team's naturalization was more out of interests.

That will not only help him receive a lot of endorsements in China, but also allow him to use his performance in the international arena to increase his popularity.

But when Xu Yong, the core of the team, stood up for him one after another, and even directly committed malicious fouls against him, and was suspended for it, it was really difficult for him not to be touched.

"You don't have to do this. If it were anyone else on the team, I would do that." Xu Yong said calmly.

Jeremy Lin was stunned for a moment. His values ​​were shaped by his parents and the American environment. He didn't quite understand what Xu Yong said.

"I like the atmosphere. It makes us look like a real team." But then he added.

Xu Yong smiled and didn't say much. He just reached out and patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder.

It is not easy for a person to accept a new culture, but acceptance starts with contact. Jeremy Lin will gradually understand it in the future.

……

The process of the Olympic Games is still going on, and Xu Yong can only watch on the sidelines because he is suspended.

In addition to insisting on training to maintain his condition, he also pays more attention to social media.

That night after training, he returned to his room to rest. When he took out his phone to check, he was stunned by a pop-up message.

The Pacers and Heat made a deal.

The Pacers first signed Hibbert to a four-year, 4 million contract, then packaged him and Danny Granger, plus a first-round pick, and traded Odom and James from the Heat.

James, was traded to the Pacers?
And, is it still Granger? !
When Xu Yong started to see the deal, he sat up from the bed immediately after he had been lying down.

There were rumors before that Riley wanted to trade James for Leonard and Chandler, but just like when he wanted to trade for Jordan, the Mavericks ignored him.

So he settled for the Pacers and got similar leverage.

Needless to say, Hibbert is a black man for Yao Ming. Without the vertical take-off rule, he can be said to be the best center in the Eastern Conference besides Yao Ming and Howard.

Granger, a 3D star, has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Given the right to play football, he can also average 25 and [-] points per game, but his efficiency is not high. However, he is very good at defense and three-pointers, especially three-pointers. He shoots six or seven times and can achieve a stable shooting rate close to [-]%. shooter.

But in addition to what he is good at, he is also capable of other tasks, such as breakthroughs, singles, holding the ball, organization, etc.

This kind of player is most suitable to be the second or even third leader.

Moreover, he is also a standard team player.

Just, a bit of dark humor.

Because in history, James stepping on Granger's feet is an absolutely famous scene!
As a result, now, the two have exchanged clubs.

And speaking of which, Granger should have been stepped aside by James in the playoffs last season, but due to a strange combination of lineups, Granger was not stepped up.

This really feels like a cycle of cause and effect.

Then the thought that immediately popped out of his mind was, why not George?
Although Paul George just finished his sophomore season last season, Riley should be able to see his potential.

But then he thought again and felt that Riley wouldn't want George.

Because of Wade's physical condition, Riley must be very mentally aware.

Especially since he had the experience of drafting Beasley and then wasting Wade's peak in vain, he should not do this kind of thing again.

Coupled with the consecutive failures of the Big Three, he is eager to prove himself with a championship, so he will focus on short-term goals.

Then just when he thought of this, another news popped up.

The Heat sent Stevenson back to the Mavericks and got Corey Brewer, who had little chance to play in the Mavericks.

Then, they signed Ray Allen with a three-year, 3 million fully paid mid-level contract.

Riley's ultimate move, which he has been saving for a month, is a combo as soon as he releases it!
The Heat's lineup for next season will consist of Chalmers + Wade + Granger + Bosh + Hibbert, with Ray Allen and Brewer on the bench. This lineup, compared to the Heat during this period, is also in 2K. It's hard to say how strong the Heat's "dynasty" team is, but it's a lot more reasonable.

The Heat will be really difficult to deal with next season.

He just didn't understand the Pacers. Although last season's experience was a failure, the current lineup with George, James and Boozer is not much more competitive in the Eastern Conference than before.

Larry Bird is not the kind of person who likes adult beauty, right?
Is it possible that the Pacers still have a backup plan?

……

James Room, Dream Team Cruise Hotel, London.

James was shaking, his body was shaking.

"Asshole! Pat Riley that bastard!!" he roared like crazy.

I don’t know how many layers of the ship the sound penetrated. It was estimated that other teammates heard it.

Rich Paul, who came to London with him, was sitting across from him. He should have reminded him, but he didn't say anything at this time.

Riley's trick was so slippery.

Or more accurately, they overestimated the limits of Riley, an old fox.

I thought Riley was a legend after all, and what he promised himself would definitely be fulfilled.

But the fact is that verbal promises are bullshit. There were only three of them present at the time, and Riley refused to admit it. There was nothing they could do.

James finally slumped down on the edge of his bed, trying to hold his hand but found that it was not his Miami throne, and almost fell down.

Indianapolis is a big city, and it's the capital of the state of Indiana. It's a big city.

But that place is similar to Washington, with many people but a small golf market.

Then there is a rebel guy there, his old "teammate" Boozer from the Cavaliers, waiting for him.

And with the Pacers' poor lineup, how can they compete for the championship next season?

He originally wanted to go to a championship contending team in a big market, but he could still meet one of the conditions.

The results are now good, Riley directly sent him a completely opposite team.

Even when he almost said, "I'm going to the West," Riley sent him to an Eastern Conference team.

This is no longer a matter of disgrace, it is a matter of trying to punish him to death!

"King, I think the Pacers should have a backup plan." After James' anger subsided a little, Rich Paul said.

James looked at him coldly, he didn't like anyone now.

"There is no reason for the Pacers to trade you and then keep Boozer." Rich Paul is very smart. Boozer tricked the Cavaliers and also tricked James by the way. It is impossible for the Pacers not to know about this past incident. .

James didn't say anything. The free market has ended long ago. Even if the Pacers still have a backup, who can they get?

Damn it, Riley delayed it until now on purpose, and he made sure that he was not in the United States and couldn't do anything.

That bullshit fortune teller is just an old yin!
"And we can only stay there for two years at most." Paul Rich saw James' reaction and then said.

James finally sighed helplessly.

Having said that, staying in Indiana for two years is really the same as going to jail.

I just hope Rich Paul’s deduction is right.

And at this time, he could only regard going to Indiana as another boulder he had to push.

Yes, what matters is not the result, but the process.

After averaging 30+8+8 in two seasons, he wants both the scoring title and the MVP!
