Chapter 426 Not Winning Enough
Of course, the Olympic Games is currently the most watched sporting event in the world, but in the NBA on the other side of the ocean, related transactions have not stopped.

If you want to talk about the big news, it is that the Houston Rockets where Yao Ming is located and the Sacramento Kings have completed a big deal.

The result of the transaction is that the Kings sent Ron Artest, Sean Singletary, Patrick Ewing Jr, and got Bobby Jackson, Dongte Green, the 2009 first-round pick, 100 million cash.

In other words, the Rockets will form a Big Three combination of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Artest next season.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Rockets' annual championships and big trades every month in the past, Chinese fans would really look forward to such a lineup.

However, they now have the Atlanta Hawks where Er Niu is located as their first choice, and their attention to the Rockets has dropped a lot.

But as Dayao's home team, many Tianchao fans still have a Rockets complex.

Objectively speaking, as long as the Rockets BIG3 can remain healthy, this is still a team capable of winning the championship.

The deal that the Rockets made was not just this one, there was also a deal with the Atlanta Hawks where Erniu was.

Not long ago, Ruan Erniu received another call from Billy Knight. The general manager of the Hawks followed Erniu's idea of ​​hoarding three-point shooters. The trade came for a guy named Steve Novak.

This guy is a marginal person in the Rockets, but in the NCAA, he was a famous three-point shooter. I hope he can play a role in the new season's Eagles system.

In addition, Billy Knight also signed shooting guard Ronald Murray who played for the Pacers last season from the free market.This person was able to contribute 22+11.0+2.0 data in about 3.5 minutes per game last season.

Basically, it can meet the substitute needs of backcourt players such as Jiongsen and Bibby.

Judging from the current situation, the Hawks' lineup for the new season has been basically determined, and even if there are minor repairs, there will not be too much deviation.

Ruan Erniu is sure that with this summer's lineup, Billy Knight is very likely to be rated as the worst general manager again, because the players he has dealt with have a common characteristic-cheapness.

Based on Er Niu's understanding of the US media, there must be many voices mocking the Eagles' owner and general manager for being too aggressive, even though many of these transactions were manipulated by Er Niu.

Billy Knight must be the one who took the blame the worst, but this is also a matter of course, the team manager, what he does is to take the blame for others.

Everything on the other side of the ocean has nothing to do with Erniu for the time being. He is still more concerned about the state of the national team.

In this Tianchao men's basketball team, in fact, the player Ruan Erniu most wanted to activate was neither Sun Yue nor Chen Jianghua, but Yi Jianlian who had been training silently and would never make a sound.

How do you evaluate Allen, who has not been selected for the best rookie team in the past year?

Ruan Erniu felt that his quiet personality must be an important reason why it was difficult for him to adapt to the American basketball culture as quickly as possible.

Next season, with Marvin Williams coming to the Kings, how Allen will compete with the North Carolina junior will become his biggest challenge.

After the training, Er Niu said to Yi Jianlian: "A Lian, what do you think of your position in the national team?"

Yi Jianlian said: "Er Niu, I really didn't play well enough in these few games!"

Er Niu quickly waved his hands and said, "Why are you so eager to admit your mistakes, or dare to admit your mistakes? You are not Xu Sanduo."

When Alian heard this, he also laughed out loud.

Ruan Erniu went on to say: "A Lian, sometimes, I think you can't let go. I talked to you during the training camp. I hope you can be more active on the offensive end."

Yi Jianlian said: "I mainly work harder on the defensive end. Aren't there you and Dayao on the offensive end!"

Ruan Erniu shook his head again and said: "The opportunities are all won by ourselves. To put it bluntly, Dayao will definitely retire earlier than us. Dazhi is older. Whether he can play in the next Olympics is a problem.

So sooner or later the national team's inside line will be carried by the two of us, and you should take the initiative to attack when you have the opportunity.Don't carry the burden, you just want to hit every ball well. "

After all, whether A-Lian can listen to it, and whether he can do it after listening to it is actually another matter.

After all, it is impossible for a genius like Ruan Erniu to be everywhere. A Lian already has the physical talent of a top-level yellow racer. What kind of height he can reach depends on his basketball IQ and self-regulation ability.

At this point, almost no one can help him.

After finishing the first four rounds of the group stage, the fifth round will also start two days later.

Except for the US men's basketball team, which is determined to qualify as the first place. The other three teams in Group B all have their own calculations in mind.

Lao You even once thought about sending Chun as a substitute. After losing to Greece by a big score, he would play against Lithuania as the fourth place in the group.

Lao You is the most familiar with Lithuania, and he is also the most sure of victory.

Er Niu, Dayao and Deputy Director Hu rejected this idea together.

Ruan Erniu and Yao Ming are bent on making history, and they feel that deliberately losing to their opponents by a large score may affect morale.

Deputy Director Hu has two considerations: first, it is natural that the men's basketball team has achieved a higher ranking in history, which will undoubtedly become his political achievements; It is necessary to say that I just received a notice that the No. [-] chief will watch the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team at the Wukesong Stadium.

In front of the chief, no matter what, he should behave well.

Therefore, even if you lose, you can't lose too ugly.

Besides, the Celestial Men's Basketball Team has even killed Spain, so it may not be impossible to beat the Greek Men's Basketball Team.

However, comparisons between teams cannot be made through side-by-side comparisons. Only after a real game can we distinguish each other's superiority.

Guo Shiqiang from the coaching staff interjected: "I think it is possible for the Greeks to deliberately lose to us. Don't forget, if they want to avoid the US team before the final, the best way is to lose to us directly, and then they To challenge for the first place in Group A."

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Lithuania is not so easy to deal with, Director Guo, are you sure the Greek team will do this?"

Guo Shiqiang said: "It depends on what their goals are before the game. If they are a team that aspires to win the championship, why can't they do this?"

After listening to Zheng Chen's translation, Yunus made his final decision and said, "Since you all insist on playing this game seriously, you must win the opponent and qualify as the second place in the group.

Regardless of whether the opponent is preparing to lose to us on purpose, we must play with the goal of defeating the opponent. "

Responding to all changes without change, what the Tianchao men's basketball team has to do now is to complete their goals and move forward step by step.

On August 2008, 8, Yanjing time in the imperial capital, the Chinese men's basketball team will usher in their last opponent in the group stage, the Greek men's basketball team.

Before the game, the Chinese women's basketball players who had secured the qualification to appear yesterday also came to the scene to cheer for the men's basketball team.

Of course, in a corner of the stadium, the arrival of the No. [-] head also brought great attention to this game.

Tied the best record in history?
The Chinese men's basketball team with the strongest lineup in history has not won enough!
