Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Across the ocean, in London, England, the new Olympic Games is slowly beginning.

North American fans are gradually shifting their focus from the free market to the Olympic men's basketball group stage.

As for domestic fans, this is even more true.

Everyone also wants to see if Dunn, who has just won another NBA championship and is in great competitive form, can lead the team to achieve good results when the men's basketball team lacks main players like Yao Ming.

Before the game started, Duen felt that it would not be a big problem to advance out of the group stage.

However, it was only after the first game of the group stage started on July 7 that Doon realized the problem.

As the gold medal winner of the men's basketball team at the last Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team seems to be treated differently from other teams.

The referees' requirements for the men's basketball team seem to be more stringent, and even big-name stars like Duane cannot take any advantage.

Even when Duen broke through with the ball and made an emergency stop to pray, he was called for a walk.

The fans at the scene were cheering for Du En and complaining about Du En, but the referee insisted on having his own way, and even acted a little condescending and deliberately targeted.

It is precisely because of this that the men's basketball team had a difficult first game against Spain.

Even though Duan tried his best, played all four quarters and scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, he still failed to lead the team to win.

Fortunately, the men's basketball team did not lose by many points, 88 to 94, only losing by 6 points.

The Spanish team has been really strong in recent years, so even though the men's basketball team is missing Yao Ming, it still looks good in terms of performance.

Of course, losing the first game in the group stage hurts morale somewhat.

And in order to ensure that we can qualify in the group stage, every subsequent group stage game is particularly important.

On July 7, the men’s basketball team played against the Russian team.

In this battle, Du En played even harder, but fortunately he felt good. He scored 46 points in the game, which shocked everyone with his skills.

The men's basketball team also relied on Duan's full firepower, and finally won the first victory in the group stage with an 82-77, 5-point advantage.

It has to be said that Duan's team leadership ability has been honed in the NBA.

Duen knew that his men's basketball teammates still had some strength, at least enough to make it out of the group stage.

They were just a little nervous and timid in the big competition. Du En had seen this happen too many times.

As long as you get the ball at the beginning and take advantage of the score, the rest will be much easier.

Of course, when the game reaches the second half, there will be situations where physical strength distribution is unreasonable, or scoring efficiency cannot be maintained under strong confrontation.

At this time, Du En needs to rely on his personal strength to save the situation.

Fortunately, the men's basketball team gathers the best of a country after all. Moreover, everyone can have a meal of dumplings, and everyone has a day when they feel good.

On August 8, in the third game of the men's basketball group stage, before Du En made any contribution, the men's basketball team relied on the performance of Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu to win the game.

In this way, two wins are achieved!

As we all know, there are a total of six teams in Group A/B in the group stage, and the top four advance to the quarterfinals.

With two wins in hand, the men's basketball team can at least advance to the next knockout rounds as fourth in the group.

Of course, the men's basketball team didn't relax just yet. As the last gold medal winner, if the men's basketball team has a chance, it will definitely improve its record in the group stage.

Even if the Spanish team wins all the games and advances, the men's basketball team will still have to strive for second place in the group.

On August 8, the men’s basketball team played against Brazil.

Normally, the men's basketball team has a better configuration and has an advantage against the Brazilian team.

Unexpectedly, in the last game against the Australian team, the other players in the men's basketball team beat the dog in the water and played too hard.

Today we played against the Brazilian team, whose physical strength was even lower. In the second half, they were weak and no one was able to step up and share the pressure with Du En.

In this situation, Du En can only use full firepower again and carry alone.

86 to 83. With Duan scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter, the men's basketball team won with difficulty by 3 points and achieved its third victory in the group stage.

However, in the final match of the group stage, the men's basketball team faced the host team Great Britain.

Originally, the men's basketball team was completely crushed against the British team, but the problem was that this was their home court.

Moreover, the British team has only won one game before. If it wants to advance to the knockout rounds, it must win this game tonight.

Therefore, in this game, the men's basketball team became the sacrifice for the British team to advance to the knockout rounds.

After the game started, Duan suffered two fouls in just six minutes in the first quarter.

After re-entering the game in the second quarter, he only played three minutes before getting his third foul.

The British referee blatantly did not allow Du En to play, so Du En had to sit off the court.

Even so, the men's basketball team still had some advantages in the first half.

However, in the second half, the referee not only messed with Duan, but also the mentality of others.

Duan only played 4 minutes in the fourth quarter before committing five fouls and leaving the game, while Yi Jianlian was also whistled for his fifth foul with 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

The men's basketball team finally lost to the host British team 73 to 84.

After the game, the men's basketball team will definitely appeal to FIBA.

However, the referees for the men's and women's basketball events in the Olympic Games are all sent by FIBA.

The FIBA ​​headquarters is in Europe, and the referees are mainly white, so it goes without saying whose interests FIBA ​​will protect.

The men's basketball team's appeal was like a stone's throw, and no response was heard until the end of the Olympics.

In this way, the men's basketball team advanced to the knockout rounds with 3 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the group.

The next opponent is the Argentina team, which is second only to the Dream Team in Group A, with 4 wins and 1 loss.

Although Argentina's golden generation has faded away, they are still getting old.

On the men's basketball team, they played against the British team two days ago and tried to win 5-on-8, but they still lost.

It's also because he played too hard in the last game and has yet to fully recover. Now Du En has no helpers around him.

Even if Duan scored 40 points in the game, the men's basketball team would not be able to avoid the quarterfinals.

Fortunately, domestic audiences are not unacceptable to this.

On the one hand, the referee in the last game was too shady, and the domestic audience did not quite approve of the penalty in this game.

On the other hand, Yao Ming's injury and retirement is indeed a huge loss for the men's basketball team.

Other CBA players, on the other hand, are obsessed with their past achievements and do not want to make progress. Their strength is not advancing but retreating. This was seen as early as the World Championships two years ago. Precisely because of this, domestic fans' expectations for the men's basketball team are not that high, and there will not be a big sense of gap because the men's basketball team stopped at the top eight.

Moreover, in this Olympics, not only men's basketball, but other sports also have many problems, which will be affected by various subjective factors, leading to a decline in performance.

Most Chinese people still share the same hatred. More people criticize referees than CBA, and even more people criticize foreign coaches than players.

As the most dedicated player in the men's basketball team, and with the NBA's honorary body protection, Duan had nothing to do and was still treated like a hero after returning to China.

For this reason, Du En is also willing to rest in China for a while.

After all, I have been busy for a whole year. Last summer, I took the rookies to start the summer league and training camp. I was busy all day long!

By the way, while Duan is staying at home and recuperating, Bulls general manager John Paxson is not idle.

This summer, John Paxson is the busiest.

Just like the employees of a large factory, if they don't produce something, they will easily be misunderstood by their bosses and they are always fishing.

John Paxson tried to trade Milicic and Evans back in July.

But so far, they haven't sold the two of them. Instead, they have signed back Ray Allen, making the Bulls' lineup more bloated next season. This is definitely not going to work.

Thinking that Duan has finished playing in the Olympics, according to past habits, he will definitely come back to hold a training camp in September.

John Paxson had to work harder and trade Milicic and Evans quickly.

John Paxson tried to make a deal with the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies were not interested in trading Gasol.

In the end, John Paxson had to use some means to proactively contact LaMarcus Aldridge's agent and persuade them to complete the deal with the Trail Blazers.

Aldridge still has some affection for the Trail Blazers, but the Blazers management has indeed been dragging its feet in recent years, slowly wearing out his patience.

The age-old problem—the pioneer veterinarian—is the problem that must be solved!

Roy is injured, and so is Oden! Aldridge worries every day whether he will be the next person to be injured and unable to recover.

Let’s look at the players traded in recent years, Andre Miller, Gerald Wallace, and Marcus Camby. They are either injured themselves or they are old and their form has declined. They will not be able to compete in the playoffs at all. Top use.

Aldridge is in the Trail Blazers, and there is no hope of winning the championship.

Seeing that a young team like the Thunder was emerging in the West, Aldridge learned that the Bulls wanted to get him, and after much thought, he decided to choose the right place for a good bird.

A second consecutive MVP like James has already done it, so there is no reason why Aldridge can't do it.

Besides, the Bulls brought out two All-Star players, which is not unfair to the Trail Blazers.

When Aldridge took the initiative to showdown with the Blazers management, the Blazers management knew that they could not keep Aldridge, so they happily chose to let him go.

However, he was a little greedy and asked for an extra second-round pick from the Bulls.

The All-Star swap, one for two, is already outrageous. The Trail Blazers are so dissatisfied that they need an extra second round, which is no one else.

However, the Bulls' reconstruction is over, and draft picks in the next three years are not that important. Even a first-round pick is affordable.

John Paxson also wanted to keep his job, so he accepted the plan given by the Trail Blazers based on the principle that suffering is a blessing.

By the way, after the completion of this transaction, it also caused quite a shock inside and outside the league.

Aldridge is a player who plays quietly and honestly. He is usually not well-known. He was able to enter the All-Star Game as a substitute for the Western Conference All-Stars. Many fans even think that he is a data brush.

Because there is really nothing eye-catching, not to mention that the style of play is still soft, which makes it even less popular.

But the problem is that the Bulls exchanged the meritorious player Milicic and the rising Evans, plus a second-round pick with the Trail Blazers for one, which is a bit too exaggerated.

The Bulls can exchange this bargaining chip for Howard!

The Bulls have won so many championships over the years, it's impossible for the management to not understand football, right?

However, this transaction is indeed a bit nonsense.

As a result, some team executives even filed an investigation application with the league.

They felt that there must be something fishy in the transaction between the Bulls and the Trail Blazers.

If the Bulls and Trail Blazers have a yin-yang contract in private, then the league may be able to come forward and punish the Bulls severely to prevent the Bulls from establishing a new dynasty.

Originally, the outside media were only hotly discussing whether Aldridge was worth the one-for-three price. After acquiring Aldridge, the Bulls could defend the championship next season.

At this time, I suddenly heard that a team executive had reported to the league that the Trail Blazers and Bulls were having trouble in private. Of course, they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they immediately added fuel to the fire and reported the gossip.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, whether it is a steamed bun with human blood or not, let’s get a wave of traffic first.

When the domestic media heard about the disturbances in North America, they followed suit and even used their imagination to add additional explanations.

It was also because there was a lot of commotion in the domestic media that some reporters took the initiative to come to the door. Du En, who was on vacation, was immediately dumbfounded when he heard the news.

After hearing such rumors, Du En certainly couldn't remain indifferent.

After taking the initiative to call and learn about the situation, Du En still had some doubts in his heart. He was worried that John Paxson had messed up the matter and was found out about taking kickbacks in private. Now he is still trying to hide it from him.

As a result, Duan ended his vacation early and flew to Chicago to learn about the situation.

By the time Duane arrived in Chicago, league executives had almost completed their investigation of the matter.

The investigation results show that John Paxson is indeed a bit stupid. The Blazers got lucky and made a lot of money.

It was also because he made things bigger this time that John Paxson became even more famous in the circle.

In the past, everyone thought that there were no honest general managers of the team, but now we find that there are indeed some.

For a time, many team executives and some star players' agents teamed up to blast John Paxson's phone calls.

It's a pity that the Bulls have completed their reinforcement work this summer and the lineup for the new season has been determined.

Point guard: Curry, Bradley.

Shooting Guards: Harden, Ray Allen, Middleton.

Small forward: Duane, George, Kawhi, Butler, Crowder.

Power forward: Aldridge, Ibaka, Vucevic, Green.

Center: Hassan Whiteside.

Of course, the regular season hasn't started yet, and the roster may not be set in stone.

Now this list has been filled with all fifteen players, and first-year and second-year rookies account for a large part of it.

In the new season, the Bulls will definitely be focused on record. It will take some time just to get the lineup together at the beginning of the season, and they will have no energy to take care of the rookies.

In order to better win the championship, the Bulls need to free up a few positions for veterans in the free market who want to add championship rings and still have gas in the tank.

Therefore, Middleton, Crowder and Green can only be released to the Development League for one season. (End of chapter)
