Chapter 944 [No Division, No Olympics]
In order to have a good time during the holiday, Zhou Xuan even cleared his stocks.
Investment needs to be cautious, he doesn't have time to pay attention to those things about money all day, the U.S. stock market has reached a peak and begins to fall sharply, at this time short positions are equal to making money.
The team's trading Zhou Xuan did not participate in the transaction and completely enjoyed the holiday.
Several more trades followed, with the Pistons bringing in Bagnani to fill the void left by Monroe's departure. Zhuang Yuanlang was reduced to a contract of 9 million for three years. He didn't shoot accurately, his defense was poor, and the Pistons wanted to bet that he would get back to a certain level of fitness, just like they did with Jennings.
The Eagles' reinforcement was the most picky, and they brought in Oden. Millsap is gone, replaced by Oden, and the new boss is nothing short of a surprise. The most amazing thing is that Auden is reimbursed every year, but he can always find a job. Perhaps the management is interested in him wearing a headband on the sidelines to impersonate James and scare people.
Beverley signed a mini-mid-range contract with the Rockets and stayed with the team. He wanted to ask for another big salary, no team was willing to give him, and looking at the stats he was just a role player.
The Knicks signed veteran Vince Carter to bolster the swingman position. Carter is 38 years old, and he was able to finish with a No. 6 last season with the Grizzlies. 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1. 6 assists on 35-field shooting. 8%, and only 32 three-point points. 6%, a career low.
Mullin is interested in Carter's experience, and he can keep up with the pace of the game, and he still has a breakthrough performance last season. If you don't play well in the slow-paced Grizzlies, you may not be able to play in the Knicks.
After that, the Knicks brought in O'Neal Jr. with a veteran base salary. Xiao Ao is 37 years old and wants to get a championship ring before retiring.
Xiao Ao hasn't played in a year. He performed well in the 2013-2014 season and was a key scorer on the Warriors' second team, averaging 7 in 20 minutes per game. 9 points and 5. 5 rebounds. His efficiency value is 15. 3. He is in the league average, but because of a left wrist injury, he has only played in 44 games.
Injuries have been hampered by O'Neal Jr. for years, with him playing a maximum of 55 games over the past four seasons. After Mark Jackson's departure, O'Neal Jr. publicly expressed his displeasure and reluctance to play for Steve Cole.
He's fully recovered from his injury, and it's hard to say what level he can play. Mullin was willing to gamble.
The Knicks roster has been confirmed with 12 players.
Centre-forwards: Al Jefferson, Cole Aldridge, Jermaine O'Neal.
Power forwards: Chris Bosh, Ryan Anderson.
Small forwards: Rudy Gay, Kyle Anderson, Vince Carter.
Shooting guards: Coy Leonard, Ben Gordon.
Point guards: Zhou Xuan, Bledsoe.
After a few trades, the Knicks' total salary next season ranks third in the league, behind the Nets and Cavaliers. They still have two spots left open and are ready to look at them in pre-season before deciding who to keep.
Zhou Xuan and Chloe Moretz returned to the United States and spent some time in their new home in Los Angeles to continue enjoying their vacations.
Zhou Xuan stimulated Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, and he started practicing early, reportedly taking a private jet to the stadium and home every day.
Many fans were very surprised by this - "Is there a traffic jam in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?" (That's not something to be surprised about!) )
Zhou Xuan took the time to make a cameo appearance in Jon Favreau's new movie "Down-and-Out Chef". Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Downey Jr., Sophia Vergara and others also participated in the show.
Fei Ru's popularity is very good, this is a low-budget comedy. Zhou Xuan played a Chinese chef in the movie, with superb cooking skills and handsome appearance, suppressing the chef played by Fei Ru, with only a few scenes.
Scarlett plays a restaurant manager in the film and is also the lover of Jon Favreau's character. Favreau said earlier: "Who wouldn't want Scarlett to play their lover?" "This Iron Man's embarrassed bodyguard finally achieved a positive result, and by capturing the stomach of the goddess, he went to capture the heart of the goddess.
Of course, the fat man in the movie is embarrassed to arrange a passion scene for himself or something, but he is just a confidant.
Zhou Xuan's role was finished, and Fei Ru asked: "Stephen, I wanted to make this movie the year before last, how do you feel?" Can it be fired? The box office exceeded 100 million ......"
This guy is used to making blockbusters, even if this one is not filmed to make money, he hopes to get a high box office.
The series of encounters of the protagonist Carl coincide with Favreau's own experience. He made Iron Man in 2008, which was the most acclaimed and high-grossing film of his directorial career. But the next "Iron Man 2" and "Cowboy and Alien" are lackluster, and the third episode of Iron Man also changed the director, he wants to rehabilitate himself and can't lose his style, this movie is actually his coquettish work.
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Yes, as long as you change the title of the movie "Chef" to "Stark Industries on the Tip of the Tongue", and then write the trailer synopsis 'The big back bodyguard was seriously injured and started to engage in Cuban cuisine after retirement, Black Widow had a cat with the bodyguard in the restaurant, and Iron Man sent a food truck to help his old friend get re-employed. Maybe it can attract Marvel fans to the cinema. ”
"Hahaha, great idea."
"Dude, this movie is good, I like it, no matter what the box office does at the end, I'm sure it will be well received." Zhou Xuan encouraged.
"I also believe that you can win the championship next season, don't let that guy who knows how to pretend to be B have a good time." Fei Ru said with a casserole-sized fist.
Donnie poked his head out of the dining car and frowned, "Hey, who are you scolding?" ”
“……”
While Zhou Xuan was enjoying the holiday, the 2015 Asian Championships began.
This Asian Championship is very controversial. The Iranian Basketball Association has expressed protest and dissatisfaction with the Chinese team's re-winning of the right to host the 2015 Asian Championships before the Olympics, because it is a matter of competition for Olympic tickets.
The pattern of Asian basketball has changed, and the new generation of Chinese men's basketball is on the road of exploration, while the Iranian men's basketball team has entered its golden age, winning the Asian Championships in 2007, 2009 and 2013, becoming the new hegemon of Asian basketball. However, Iran did not have an advantage in hosting the Asian Championships, which have not been held on home soil since 1960.
In stark contrast, China has won the right to host four of the seven Asian Championships since 2001.
The Iranian team's protest is justified, the effect of home advantage is obvious, and the Chinese men's basketball team sent young players to train in the Asian Games, the main purpose is also to prepare for the Asian Championships. However, bidding for the Asian Championships requires not only a record advantage, but also economic factors and influence, and Iran does not have an economic advantage in the Middle East, and the country's influence is not enough, so it is not so easy for them to bid for the 2017 Asian Championships.
The first match is China VS Taipei.
Under the internal advantage of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin, the Chinese team won easily, and the media excitedly called the national team a successful revenge for the 2013 Asian Championships.
In the second game, the Chinese team lost to Iran by 21 points without suspense. The inside line actually has a bit of an advantage, but the Chinese team is a mess on the outside. The guard knows that if he rushes inside, the opponent is a joint defense, and he goes directly into the pile, misses the shot or misses the ball. And they didn't raise their heads when they broke through, and it was amazing that they could enter the national team.
Otherwise, passing the ball back and forth along the three-point line will not create open shooting opportunities at all. Even if there is no open opportunity, there is no need for a ball quotient to play a high block and a 45-degree side no-ball cover backrun, and you can just split the ball lightly after misalignment. Miraculously, the outside line of the Chinese team is like an amateur player, who will not divide that moment, and always take the ball first and pause for a second when passing, and the opponent's pursuit and defense will be in place in this second.
Many people don't understand why Zhou Xuan is so strong because he has an ordinary body and is not particularly fast. He is strong in the second when he reacts quickly, whether it is the connection of his own attack and fake action with the ball, or passing the ball to a teammate who gets rid of it by covering, he is the fastest in the world.
Compared to him, the other Chinese defenders are like playing ball, completely without using their brains.
After that, the opponent was weaker, and the Chinese team qualified from the group without suspense, and avoided Iran before the final. At this time, the media, the coaching staff, and the players were all complacent. In fact, once you want to avoid anyone, the strength of this team can be imagined, and there is no confidence to overwhelm the opponent.
China defeated Japan in the knockout round and lost to South Korea in the semifinals.
South Korea's interior line is a cut behind the Chinese team, both in terms of player ability and physical fitness, but their overall offense is very orderly. The Chinese team is playing randomly, and the only tactic that can be seen is that Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhelin cut in the air after blocking and dismantling, receiving the ball and attacking or rushing to grab the rebound in the front court.
With absolute dominance in rebounding, the Chinese team still lost by 4 points, making only 2 of 17 shots from the outside. Such a hit rate even in the 2016 Olympic Games will kill Zhou Xuan.
After the win, the Koreans behaved very arrogantly, thinking that Korean basketball could dominate Asia Smecta, and the champion must be our Smecta.
They defeated Iran at the 2014 Asian Games, but this time, Iran got their revenge in the final.
Only the winner will qualify for Rio 2016. The South Koreans didn't have the last laugh, and if they want to compete in the Olympics, they will have to participate in the play-offs with the Chinese team to try to qualify with a wild card.
The Chinese team in the Men's Basketball World Cup directly gave up the play-off qualification and accepted its fate. Whether they will resign themselves to their fate this time has become the main topic of discussion on the Internet.
Another topic is whether the CBA league will be restructured in the future, returning to the rule that a team was only allowed to use one foreign aid in the past. The Chinese men's basketball team gradually weakened after the CBA began to allow more foreign aid, and after that, domestic players could not be the core in the CBA. The domestic league can't play good data, what can you do when you go out?
After the loss, someone from the Basketball Association called Zhou Xuan and asked him if he would like to play the play-offs for the national team.
"No, it won't." Zhou Xuan said categorically: "I hope everyone in the Basketball Association will understand one thing, whether you want to save Chinese basketball or save the face of the men's basketball team." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I go to the play-offs and the ball revolves around me, and individually we can win and play the 2016 Olympics and then what? The players who can't do it still can't do it, and they still don't get training. They can't do it in the CBA, even the veterans are average. Continue to eat the old book like this, what will happen to these people in the future? Chinese basketball is over. I would recommend that young players play in the play-offs as an investment. Now they don't even have any blood, and I'm not interested in being a babysitter for them. ”
"Okay."
The men's basketball officer is helpless, if others talk like this, he can be very arrogant to make someone disobey the arrangement, not abide by discipline, and permanently expel the national team. Now they are begging Zhou Xuan, the initiative is not in their hands, so they have to give in.
The men's basketball team has come to this point today, to a large extent, it is caused by them, what causes are planted, and what results are gained. Zhou Xuan thought very thoroughly, and he was not interested in filling in the pits for these people.
After losing a few times, the young players are thankful if they can take on more responsibility and play with their brains.
