Chapter 792: Preseason and Team Trades

The rhetoric of moral perfection is quite heavenly, according to the words of the rice people, to be precise, it should be called "one person, one city".

Throughout the history of the NBA, almost every era has been a practitioner of "one man, one city".

Bill Russell in ancient times, to Dr. J, Big Bird, Magician, Flying Man, Big Dream in modern times, including Dumb, Kobe, Driver and others are all like this.

Of course, the phrase "one man, one city" does not hold true for a specific group, such as Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, these legendary centers, all of whom have won championships in different teams.

There are some things that have their own providence in the dark, and will never be diverted by the will of the individual.

……

"So the Eagles will be officially listed in a week? Can I report this news in the Sports Weekly next week?" "At Ruan Erniu's home, Wang Meng, a reporter based in Atlanta, is interviewing Erniu.

"I don't think it's a problem, it's just for you. Erniu said.

Because of his close relationship with Erniu, and often interviewing Ruan Erniu in the past three years, Wang Meng joked with a smile: "But you didn't give me the headline I wanted the most, and I didn't miss anything before quitting the national team." ”

Ruan Erniu said: "There is no way, if you say it in advance, it will definitely cause a storm in the city."

Besides, in addition to the Basketball Association, the leaders of the General Administration also have to report and record them one by one, right? If it is announced in front of the media in advance, there will be no room for relaxation at all. ”

Wang Meng smiled again: "So, although you are not in the system, but the set of things in the system, you don't have to play hard at all, to be honest, even if you go to politics, you will never be bad."

By the way, next, where the responsibilities are, I still have to ask you why you quit the national team. ”

Since they were doing an interview at Erniu's home, and there was no camera to record it, the state of the two was relatively relaxed.

So from a formal point of view, it is not so much that Wang Meng is interviewing Erniu, but that the two are having a normal dialogue and exchange.

Ruan Erniu said: "He Tingtai just came to interview me two days ago, and intentionally or unintentionally wanted to lead the topic to things like institutional persecution, in fact, how can it be so complicated? It's just that I personally don't want to continue to play in the national team."

Anyway, why can't I opt out when I'm at the top?

I asked myself if I couldn't do better than I had in the last two years, playing in the NBA had already consumed too much of my energy, so why couldn't I go back to my family in my spare time?

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, why can't you just say 'no'?"

Maybe it's really our own perception that's wrong.

Just like you really wanted to serve your country and join the national team, and now that you have achieved success, do you need to bear any moral burden if you want to retire?"

Erniu said: "I am personally ready to accept the discredit, I have been too smooth in the past few years, but this and I will not affect the decisions I have made. ”

Wang Meng finally asked, "What is the outlook for the new season?"

"The goal will never change, and as a professional footballer, working hard to win the championship is my only goal. ”

……

In the past few days, Erniu has sent several domestic reporters with good relationships, and Wang Meng is the one with the best relationship, so he also sent the big news that the Eagles are about to change hands.

The hot topic of withdrawing from the national team slowly cooled down, and this did not exceed the estimation of the Erniu team.

Judging from the latest online reactions, Celestial Empire fans are still relatively tolerant of Erniu, a meritorious player of the national team.

It's no wonder that Erniu withdrew with the Olympic and World Championships champions, and after Lianke Mengba and Mengjiu, Erniu and other men's basketball players have already risen to the status of national heroes.

Like Liu Xiang, the tragedy of being forced to go to the runway by the system and sponsors even though he was injured will definitely not appear on Erniu's body.

In the blink of an eye, September passed, October arrived, and the Hawks were assembled for nearly three weeks for the warm-up training for the 10-11 season.

After that, they will officially start their pre-season season in earnest.

For the Eagles, they will also travel to the Pacific Ocean during this time, traveling to the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire and Yangcheng to play two Celestial Empire games against the Washington Wizards.

On October 7, U.S. time, the Hawks first sat at home and welcomed the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Every time they play the Grizzlies, the Hawks don't have an easy time, and this time is no exception.

Despite the Hawks' season double against the Grizzlies last season, the Hawks should have the smallest net win against the Memphis of any swept team.

The reason is that the Grizzlies are a team that pays more attention to positional offense and defense than the Celtics, and the black and white heroes fight inside, and even the two bulls rarely have the opportunity to score directly under the basket.

With Tony Allen on the team, the Grizzlies' defensive intensity has increased even further.

In Erniu's view, the overall defensive ability of this team can be ranked in the top five in the league, and in the playoffs, this team is definitely not an existence that all opponents are unwilling to entangle, and their only weakness can only be the lack of strength on the offensive end.

The fact is exactly as the Erniu and the Hawks coaching staff thought, although the main players of the two teams were tied in the limited playing time, but in the rotation time, the Hawks easily defeated the opponent.

Mike Bibby reproduced the killer temperament of the "White Devil" in this game, anyway, Bibby has long been used to breaking in, and Bibby, who lost his speed, finished the opponent with a super high outside shooting rate and won the first preseason win for the Hawks.

Erniu's performance is not bad, after all, the highlights are unreliable, and the high-low mid-range shot and the long-range shot that occupies a third of the shooting power are his main scoring methods.

Relying only on air cutting and air relays, Ruan Erniu has no way to become the league's scoring champion with an average of 30+ points per game for 2 consecutive seasons.

After the Grizzlies victory, the Hawks traveled to Detroit on Oct. 11 for Game 2 of the preseason against the Pistons.

This year's No. 7 show, Monroe, also known as Greg Monroe, started the game, but Ruan Erniu quickly handed over the rookie on the court.

MONROE IS 6-FOOT-11" (211CM) TALL, BUT HIS EXPLOSIVENESS IS MEDIOCRE, AND HIS POOR LOW-POST SKILLS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE TRIPLE D-POY'S TWO BULLS.

The downward trend of Millican's big center is too obvious, all of them lack technology and range, have no mid-range shooting, and delusionally think that he is O'Neal, who can destroy everything on the inside by himself, isn't this nonsense?

Shooting ability is the basic skill of basketball, and even O'Neal's low feet and small hook hands are by no means beyond the reach of ordinary rebounding nerds.

Maddy also signed with the Pistons on a free basis this season, but the two-time scoring champion has long since lost the courage of the year.

Even with the occasional sassy back-to-back ball and pull-out, his overall form wasn't enough to make him a regular in the team.

Maddy isn't worth much in a rebuilding team like the Detroit Pistons, and perhaps the two-time scoring champion will need to look to the international arena and continue his career in leagues outside of the United States, just like Iverson.

Throughout the game, the Hawks easily suppressed the Detroit Pistons and won two consecutive preseason wins.

After playing the Pistons, the Hawks did not return to Atlanta, but immediately took a cross-border flight and flew to the imperial capital.

October 13, imperial capital time.

Ruan Erniu returned to Wukesong Stadium and said that it must be false if he was not touched.

Two years ago, it was here that he and Da Yao led the Celestial Empire men's basketball team all the way, and finally in the final, they killed the Dream Eight team who vowed to take revenge with one goal, making the Celestial Empire men's basketball team stand on the highest podium of the Olympic Games for the first time.

Revisiting the old place, Ruan Erniu still feels close to everything here.

The fans of the Celestial Empire also gave Erniu the greatest cheers and encouragement, although he withdrew from the national team, he is still the supreme hero in the hearts of the fans.

The Hawks' opponent, the Washington Wizards, fielded an interesting starting lineup tonight:

C Javier McGee

PF Andrea Brache

SF Nick Young

SG Gilbert Arenas

P.G. John Wall

It may not be right to say that Wall is a point guard, because the ball is still in Arenas' hands for most of the time.

It's not that the Wizards don't want to trade Arenas this summer, but many teams have expressed doubts about Arenas' form after recovering from injury, so no one dares to come out and accept it.

Wizards head coach Philip Saunders' most urgent task now is to get Arenas to play so that the team's management can replace him as soon as possible and make room for the top pick John Wall to grow.

McGee is still very good at jumping, but Erniu has never booed such a jumping man.

The Eagles continued their strong run with eases to make it three straight preseason wins and their first win in the Celestial Empire.

Three days later, on October 16, imperial capital time, the two teams moved to Yangcheng for the second leg of the Celestial Empire Competition.

The new stadium in Yangcheng is full of modern atmosphere, and from the perspective of hardware conditions alone, the competition stage of the two teams is not lost to the United States at all.

The manufacturing of the Celestial Empire is moving towards a historic turning point, and for the people of the Celestial Empire, 2010 is destined to be a year worth remembering.

It was in this year that the GDP of the Celestial Empire surpassed that of the mud bomb and became the second largest in the world, and it was also the year that the total industrial output value of the Celestial Empire surpassed that of the United States and ranked first in the world.

According to history, since the United States became the world leader, it has always had the habit of starting the second child when his industrial production capacity reaches 70%.

For example, the German, the former woolly bear, and the mud bombardment were all started when the industrial production capacity reached or was near.

But the Celestial Empire directly broke this strange circle, and made great progress all the way, surpassing the United States in terms of gross industrial production, which made the people of the United States feel incredible and unprepared.

What about the peaceful evolution that is said to be good?

What about the subversion of the regime by the middle class?

Is there a lack of tendons in the minds of the middle class of the people of the Celestial Empire?

If you have money and don't want to control political power, you know that you want a second house and a second child, which is not logical!

That's right, it really doesn't conform to the logic of the rice people, but for the natives of the Celestial Empire, it is so natural.

Looking up, there are still many problems in the Celestial Empire, and there are still many people struggling on the poverty line, but on the whole, the economic development speed of the Celestial Empire still makes people all over the world feel amazed.

Comrade Jia Dun, director of the North American Branch of the War Suddenly Bureau, worked hard and made great achievements, while the Celestial Empire persisted in a hundred years of collapse until it became a first-rate country in the world.

So, there is such a paragraph on the Internet:

The last book said that when the soldiers of the United States were pressing the heavens and wanted to reign in the world, two heroes were born, and there were poems praising them:

Bin Laden angrily slammed into the Twin Towers, and Zhang Jiadun coincidentally presented a crash book!

Well, in order to avoid exposing other colleagues in the war, the topic will go on here.

There is no suspense in the Hawks' two wins over the Wizards, and a team that is constantly internally conflicted, thinking of replacing the former star and winning the top pick, is unlikely to be the opponent of the dynasty team in any case.

Speaking at a press conference after the game, Nguyen Er Niu once again gave an outlook on the new season, saying with a smile: "If possible, I would very much like to lead the Eagles to four consecutive championships this season.

In NBA history, three consecutive championships are rare, only the Celtics have completed eight consecutive championships between 1959 and 1966, the Lakers have completed two consecutive championships between 1952-1954 and 2000-2002 and the Bulls have completed two consecutive championships between 1991-1993 and 1996-1998.

If we can defend our title this year, we will become only the second team in history to complete four consecutive titles. ”

The reporters of the Celestial Empire naturally yearn for all this, but the reporters of the United States did not agree with Erniu's views so easily, and the reporters of the Washington Post asked rhetorically on the spot: "What about the Miami Heat? Will the Big Three affect the Eagles' title defense?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "In my rookie season, no team in the whole league was optimistic about us, and people thought that the championship would only come from the newly formed Celtics Big Three and the Los Angeles Lakers who got Gasol, but I think everyone knows the result."

The game is played one by one, not blown out, let's use the game to speak. ”

The Celestial Empire ended successfully, and the Hawks and Wizards each returned to the United States to continue the rest of the preseason.

The Atlanta Hawks, who have won four straight preseason games, did not fly directly back to Atlanta, but came to New Orleans to play their fifth preseason game against the Hornets.

The tired Hawks were ready to strategically abandon the game, but the New Orleans Hornets were even more demoralized, and the team's main man, Chris Paul, had no fighting spirit to speak of.

Even the team's brains don't want to win, and it's only natural that the Hornets lose.

The main team of the Hawks such as Erniu, who only played less than one and a half quarters, almost won the game lying down.

CP3 signed a 3+1 contract in '08 and is eligible to jump out of his contract early and enter free agency next year, and with his form, it's hard to imagine him staying in New Orleans.

From the current point of view, the Hornets are destined to be a team with no future, and the hurricane attack on New Orleans is only one aspect, and the poor management of the team owner has made the league drag its way, and it is even more so that this team cannot see tomorrow.

If the team loses the team's number one star Chris Paul again, they will be left with nothing.

……

The Hawks, who have won five straight preseason games, are back in Atlanta and their next opponent is the Orlando Magic.

The tired Atlanta Hawks strategically abandoned the game.

Ruan Erniu only played 10 minutes before going off early, and the confrontation between Spark and Erniu entered the fourth season, and he finally had a numerical advantage in a preseason game.

The Eagles' next opponent is the New Jersey Nets.

Brook Lopez's range has increased, but he hasn't caused much trouble for Erniu, Harris is still fast, but fellow game enthusiast Dragic is enough to handle him.

After the win over the Nets, the Hawks will travel to Charlotte to face their final preseason opponent, the Bobcats.

The Bobcats' lineup has not changed much compared to last season, and the lucky Dior did not get Ruan Erniu in the World Championships, and he is also not Erniu's opponent in the NBA.

After replacing Tyson Chandler, the team's idea of building a team suddenly became messy, no fan would believe that Larry Brown could lead the team to play small ball, and Dior, who emphasizes a slow pace, cannot become the engine of the team like Erniu.

In fact, judging from the information disclosed by the media so far, the relationship between Bobcats owner Michael Jordan and head coach Larry Brown has dropped to a freezing point.

Jordan could fire Brown at any time, even if they complimented each other on their honeymoon.

The Hawks won the game against the Bobcats without a fight, ending their entire preseason season with a 7-1 record.

Nguyen Er Niu is eager to lead the Eagles to a four-game winning streak, but many media outlets are pessimistic.

On the one hand, although the behavior of the Heat triumvirate is despicable, their strength is unquestionable.

On the other hand, the problems within the Hawks are also not small, after all, before the start of the preseason, Bruce Levinson and Michael Giron were listed together to sell the team.

When the preseason ended, the acquirer was officially born, with multiple consortia interested in the newly established Atlanta Hawks, and the consortium led by Tony Ressler came out on top.

Tony Ressler said he would keep the team in Atlanta when he took office, buying the team for $900 million while also gaining access to the Eagles' home arena, Phillips Arena.

It should be said that everything is developing in a good direction.

As soon as Tony Ressler took the stage, he found time to make an appointment with team leader Ruan Erniu for dinner, for Resler, as long as he can complete the renewal of Ruan Erniu's contract, then his acquisition is a sure-fire deal.

However, to be honest, Erniu has an average impression of this new boss.

Because this product is also a shrewd businessman, and from the conversation, it can be roughly judged that his business strategy also tends to be conservative, and he is not willing to increase investment in the team.

This immediately made Erniu feel discouraged, and the Hawks' dynasty would last for another year at most.

By next year, with the expiration of his own contracts, Dragic's, Lunar Eclipse, and others, once the boss is unwilling to pay for it, it is bound to make a large group of people go to the free market in search of bigger contracts.

Relying on only two people, Erniu and Embarrassing Son, how can they continue to let the Hawks have an impact on the championship?

Fast forward to the end of October, when the Atlanta Hawks will open on their home turf against the Miami Heat, one of the hottest teams in free agency this summer.

Thank you book friends, I am not my nameless reward!
