Chapter 435: Flag Bearer! Flagman!

Aside from Lul Deng's contract, Xu Xuan doesn't really have much demand in the free market.

He's here for one person and one city, star, it's enough to have him, why do you want so much?

Pointless!

If there's another star, then I might as well stay in Indiana and continue to eat my old book.

......

The Lakers didn't make many moves here, and the original exchange with Ruel Deng was full, but it was also broken up by Xu Xuan.

But other teams are different.

There are a lot of big fish in the free market this year, and after Howard and Xu Xuan successively determined the "buyers", those teams who waited for a few days and didn't wait for anything began to make a move.

Hawkers, Xu Xuan can't wait, I have to live, right?

You can't live even a few days.

Although I was very sad in my heart because I didn't get Xu Xuan, I was still quick and ruthless when I shot below.

For example, Angie ......

The Celtics, on their part, finalized the contract with Horford, and the two sides reached a four-year, totally worth 113 million contract.

Horford then announced on his Twitter that at this time, "The pride of the Celtics!" He wrote.

Wojnarowski later further revealed that Horford gave the Hawks a last-minute chance, but the disagreement between the two sides was mostly over money. The Hawks offered Horford 136 million for five years, a difference of 15 million from the maximum salary, and finally Horford chose to switch to the Green Shirts.

"The Hawks thought that Horford had feelings for the team and would accept the offer at the last minute, but Horford insisted on asking for a five-year salary cap, and the two sides could not negotiate, so they had to break up in the end." Wojnarowski continued on Twitter.

Horford has played for the Hawks since entering the NBA in 2007 as a rookie, averaging 15.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game on 50.5 percent shooting last season. Previously, the Hawks spared no effort to keep Horford, and even planned to trade Millsap, but now it seems that the team has to reformulate a plan.

And for the Celtics, being able to sign Horford can be described as a great success. After all, the Celtics have a large number of young talents, and also have a top young coach Stevens, but they lack a leader. Horford isn't a top superstar, but he's an experienced veteran who has what it takes to be a leader for the Celtics.

There are a lot of big fish this year, but there are not many All-Stars who are really testing the free market, and Horford is already one of the few in it.

After all, Horford's attributes are very good, he can play and defend and rebound, he has deterrence under the basket, and he can pass the ball.

It is very suitable for the current mainstream of the league's spatial interior line.

The Hornets did not recruit Xu Xuan, and the basketball god who learned from the pain once again made a "wrong decision".

They kept the main core Nicholas Batum on a five-year, $120 million super contract.

Hohoo!

The god of basketball is rich, and it is a contract with a maximum salary of 100 million yuan.

Frenchman Nicolas Batum was selected by the Rockets with the 25th pick in the first round in 2008 and was traded to the Trail Blazers.

Batum, who started in his rookie season, became the backbone of the Trail Blazers. After a four-year rookie contract, the Timberwolves offered him a four-year, $48 million contract to grab people, but the Trail Blazers made a quick decision and chose to match his contract and keep him on the team.

After the Trail Blazers signed Stotts as the coach, Batum became a strategic forward, and his average assists per game also came to 5, but in the 2014-15 season, Batum's performance was sluggish, and the Trail Blazers were defeated by the Grizzlies 4-1 in the first round.

After joining the Hornets, Batum was originally arranged to play the No. 2 position, but with the injury reimbursement of the main small forward McGee, Batum returned to the position of the small forward of the old organization, and this season the Hornets entered the playoffs strongly, and Batum's excellent play is inseparable, Batum averaged 14.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in the regular season, scoring and assists reached a career high, and the scoring ranked second among the Hornets, and the assists ranked first on the team, saying that Batum is the second leader in addition to Kemba Walker, Not an exaggeration.

Before the free market opened, Batum had expressed his willingness to renew his contract with the Hornets, and he was eager to finalize his contract for the French team in the Olympic qualifying tournament. Today, Batum chose to meet the Hornets and Mavericks in Dallas at the same time, but he made a decision at the first time to renew his contract with the Hornets and sign this five-year contract with a total price of 120 million, slightly less than the maximum salary.

But it's a pity...... Only Xu Xuan knew that this contract had become a garbage contract since it was signed.

Batum this guy ...... It's a parallel import!

And!

Even if you look at his "excellent" stats last season, they are only 14.9 points, 5.8 assists, and 6.1 rebounds...... Where is this data worth 100 million yuan contract?

Not kidding!

Xu Xuan seriously doubted whether the Qiao gang leader had the brains to carry out this operation.

Unless it's a show, how can such a contract be given?

You must know that Horford is 113 million in 4 years, where did Batum get the qualification of 120 million in 5 years?

But...... Forget it, it's right that my Qiao gang leader is such a person, and it would be strange if he made any contracts that could make people applaud......

It turns out that those who can play don't necessarily have business, let alone eyes......

It is worth mentioning that Xu Xuan stopped and this Batum's contract, which is known as one of the "Top Ten Garbage Contracts".

But this time, the Lakers don't have to be sprayed, and Ruel Deng won't come to the Lakers.

......

Training is still in full swing.

Because it was almost time for Xu Xuan to report, he trained late every day.

Two days before I left the United States, I had dinner and practiced two hours of left-handed dribbling layups, and although there was no left-handed layup in the system, it was always right to practice when I had the opportunity.

After the training, Xu Xuan and Kobe Bryant played a game for a while, and when it was close to 12 o'clock, he finished washing up and lay on the bed thinking about things.

It's mostly about the team, it's about the NBA.

The Lakers coach is still undecided, and the coach is very important.

In his previous life, Xu Xuan remembered that the coach of the Lakers was Wharton Jr., but because of Xu Xuan's butterfly, until now, the Lakers have not finalized who the coach of the new season is.

Xu Xuan has a few candidates in his heart, but he doesn't consider Wharton Jr., but he knows very well the reason why Wharton Jr. and the Lakers parted ways in his previous life.

Wharton Jr. is suitable for those teams that do not have superstars, he has a strong desire to control, and he can't get along with LeBron and Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan's plan of one person and one city, but he doesn't want to have an uncle pointing at his head.

To put it bluntly, he came to the Lakers because he wanted to be in control!

So, coach, you have to have a good temperament.

Well, Coach Lu is a good fit...... But it is estimated that Lao Zhan will not let go...... emmmmm

For players like James and Xu Xuan, a coach like Coach Lu is simply not too suitable.

Anyway, I'm going to pretend to be dead, and I don't care about you, how good.

It's a pity that it was preempted by Lao Zhantou.

Xu Xuan would not think that Director Lu really had any special feelings for James.

You just give him money and let him stand on the pitch in a suit, and it doesn't matter who he coaches.

If you can't get it, you have to consider other people.

But who else?

I really can't think of any good candidates for a while.

Well.

But

It seems like

Or...... There really is one person......

......

Coaching is a big deal, Xu Xuan thought about it that night, and talked to Jenny Bass on the phone the next day.

He was reluctant to go to Pelinka.

There's no need, isn't it beautiful to talk to the boss directly?

It's stormy outside.

Xu Xuan's side also came to leave.

can't stop leaving, although Da Yao in China has tried his best to suppress everything, but Xu Xuan has not shown up, not to mention, Xu Xuan has to serve as the flag bearer in this Olympic Games.

Departure on the 14th, Xu Xuan returned to China and visited his parents for the first time, the two elders were in good health, and they were also very satisfied with Lin Yun, just urging Xu Xuan to get married, when would he be able to give birth to a big fat grandson to bring them.

Xu Xuan is helpless, are Chinese parents particularly obsessed with this?

Xu Xuan is not too anxious about whether he gets married or not, he is only 21, and he is in a hurry.

However, it was a pity for Xu Xuan that the second elder still had no interest in what he said about life in the United States, as long as Xu Xuan was healthy.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Xu Xuan decided to take the second elder out for a trip after he retired.

As a professional player, as a diligent professional player, Xu Xuan has too little time at his disposal.

Just like before, most of the people went on vacation, and only Xu Xuan was still training.

Foot training, back training, defensive training.

Then I have to go to the Olympics, and after the Olympics, I have to go to defensive training and passing training......

Except training is competition, except competition is training.

Life is extremely boring.

......

China trip on the 15th.

Xu Xuan's first event detonated the scene.

Before Xu Xuan returned to China, Da Yao reminded Xu Xuan that he had dominated the Forbes China Celebrity List for two consecutive years...... However, Xu Xuan himself didn't expect that his popularity had reached such a terrifying point.

At this time, it was already summer vacation, and there was a sea of people at the event site, all chanting their names, regardless of the pirated version, 80% of the fans were wearing the Pacers' No. 23 jersey.

There is no way, although Xu Xuan has reached a signing intention with the Lakers, but he has not yet signed a specific contract.

He is going to wait until after the Olympics to sign his contract.

Therefore, Xu Xuan's jersey number for next season has not yet been determined.

But it doesn't make a difference, does it?

The fans liked him as a person, not the clothes on him.

No matter what he wears, I'm here to support him today, and that's enough.

When the host asked Xu Xuan to perform a dunk, the entire event was chanting MVP and MVP.

The momentum of the shaking of the earth and the mountains, even the players who have already carried out the trip to China are frightened, it can't be compared, it really can't be compared!

Barkley believes that even ten Kobe Bryants can't create such a terrible atmosphere.

O'Neal retorted, he said, not to mention ten kobes, not a hundred koberies.

Bryant: "??? ”

The trip to China was not too long, only two days.

Xu Xuan's time was too rushed.

Originally, it was only for one day, but Xu Xuan came back a day early.

In the afternoon of the second day, Xu Xuan was invited to give a speech at his alma mater, Nandong University, and after the speech, there was a friendly match.

Xu Xuan is used to the adoring gaze of these junior students.

After playing a few sassy operations on Douyin, the little girls at the scene exclaimed again and again.

Exciting, enjoyable.

Compared with those dull formal competitions, they obviously prefer this, relaxed and handsome, after all, appearance represents everything......

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, Xu Xuan followed Da Yao to the men's basketball training base.

Da Yao came to pick it up in person.

It is not only a training base for the men's basketball team, but also a home for the Olympic delegation.

Along the way, Xu Xuan has already seen a lot of players participating in various competitions, many of which are familiar to him.

"The total number of Chinese sports delegations this year is 711, including 416 athletes, 259 coaches, team leaders, and medical personnel." Da Yao is old and skilled in carrying this thing.

Because he is not only the leader and leader of the men's basketball team this time, but also the deputy head of the Olympic delegation.

Don't underestimate this deputy head of the regiment, you must know that the head of the regiment is the number one leader of the General Administration of Sports, and several deputy heads are very famous people, such as the "fat man who can't play table tennis" Liu Guoliang is also one of the deputy heads.

"Are we going to go through every project? Want to get good grades? ”

"Of course!" Da Yao is very proud of this.

It really means to be bigger and stronger in every aspect, Xu Xuance further understands why his country is so targeted by other countries.

It's not just a matter of skin color, but also the ambition that is not explicitly stated, but is revealed all the time throughout the country!

It is said that sports are peaceful wars, and if sports have such ambitions, it is natural for other industries to do so.

Although he was targeted by other countries, Xu Xuan felt a strong sense of pride because of this.

The country is on the rise, and although he is only a small athlete for the country, he is also involved in it!

……

After settling in his accommodation, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xuan and all the men's basketball team members attended the meeting held by the National Olympic Committee, and today was the last meeting before the Olympic Games.

In the conference, Xu Xuan became the representative of the Chinese Olympic team without any suspense, that is, the flag bearer, and the men's basketball team also took advantage of Xu Xuan's light to beat the national soldiers to rank at the forefront of the Olympic team.

Originally, the flag bearer this time was supposed to be the representative of the fencing team, because the UAE never stood up.

But now, there is Xu Xuan, this position, others can't grab it if they want to.

After all, compared to others, Xu Xuan's international reputation is too loud, and basketball is also one of the two major international balls, and there must be more people who know basketball.
