Chapter 747: The Clarion Call for an Arms Race

Li Liang enjoys the treatment of ice and fire in China.

When I go to a big city, no matter where I go, I will be the focus of attention.

No way, what kind of popularity do you think Yao Ming was in China back then? Yao Ming has entered the second round of the playoffs at most in the Rockets, and he is already a super idol in basketball, what about Li Liang? Triple Crown!

It is no exaggeration to say that the NBA is now the era of Li Liang.

Moreover, with the height of a basketball player, poking him there is a landmark, and you can't hide if you want to.

In his hometown county, he only received a pennant of "basketball master", and there were countless various activities arranged in big cities, Zhu Shu pushed off a lot and selected a few high-end, which is of great significance, and at the same time, ordinary fans can have more contact with the activities of the players themselves, and these activities are sponsored by Under Armour.

Under Armour was the biggest winner in this year's finals, and the protagonists of both teams were under their umbrella, which made Under Armour's stock price soar, doubling its market value, and doubling the value of shareholders and directors, Li Liang is simply their living bodhisattva.

It can be said that Li Liang's status in Under Armour is equivalent to Jordan's status in Nike.

Moreover, because Li Liang changes teams every year, the result is that Under Armour's sneakers can be matched with new models in color for Li Liang's sneakers every year.

Like the purple and gold color scheme when he played with the Lakers, only two years have passed, and it is already out of print, and the price of a pair is skyrocketing.

In the red and blue color scheme of the Clippers, the pure white color scheme, the navy blue and bright yellow color scheme of the Pacers, in short, go to a team to change the color, and the fans' desire to buy and collect is particularly strong, causing the price of his sneakers to skyrocket.

Under Armour himself is engaged in marketing on the official website and got a vote to hope that Bruce Lee will go to the next team.

A large number of fans came to vote, and many people hoped that Li Liang would go to a certain team purely from the perspective of whether the color of the shoes looked good or not.

After Li Liang completed the task of visiting his parents, he went to several big cities one after another to meet the fans.

There were female fans at the scene who said that they wanted to give birth to Li Liang, and Li Liang regretfully said, you will be a little later.

When attending a big event in a large stadium, there are fans running naked...... The atmosphere of this big city is still very in line with international standards, which makes Li Liang feel very gratified, but unfortunately it is a man who runs naked.

I have participated in a lot of various activities, and there are also many voices, hoping that Li Liang can participate in the national team and represent the Chinese team in the Olympic Games.

Regarding this question, Li Liang said, "My arms are open to the national team at any time. ”

What do you say...... It's as if the national team is going to join you.

But there is no way, people are so awesome, the national team is indeed considering recruiting Li Liang into the national men's basketball team to prepare for the 2016 Rio Olympics, with Li Liang, the national team has won something in the Olympic Games, it is really not a dream.

In initial contact, Li Liang said that he could join at any time if needed, but that would not be until the summer of 2016.

He won't be playing in the previous national team matches.

After all, Li Liang was not cultivated by the system, the degree of freedom is still very high, and his willingness to participate in the Olympic Games in 16 years is already a big commitment.

As soon as this news came out, the situation of the 2016 Olympic Games of Chinese basketball was very good, and at the same time, Chinese football said that life could not be passed.

Li Liang tossed around in China for more than a week.

On the other side of the ocean, teams across the league are already working around the 2015 draft.

This time, the Timberwolves, the king of the lotto, successfully got the top pick after a season of rotten.

Love has spent most of the season through injury and with his contract expiring in the summer, it would be unknown whether he will stay at Wolves.

The Eye of the Chart was acquired by the Knicks, another lottery king, and Phil Jackson will be the Knicks in the summer, and I don't know what to do with this Eye of the Chart.

The Philadelphia 76ers were injured, and Philadelphia adhered to the tradition of "lottery show comes to the team to reimburse for a season", continuing to collect signings and talents, looking forward to soaring in a certain season.

It seems that Li Liang's case has not touched the soul of these bad teams, open your eyes and take a look, the NBA ruler in the past three years is a No. 56 show, with strong ability, low salary, hard work, never absent, 100% championship rate, and can also be a part-time coach, three-point trainer, referee and many other jobs, and buy one get one free, sign a contract today, send a championship-level assistant coach tomorrow, where do you find it?

Of course, every team understands this truth, but Li Liang has only one after all.

And now the news that the teams have received from Wei Dazhi and Bird is that Li Liang wants to go to a team that has the hope of winning the championship.

Therefore, now all teams are trying to sort out their assets, strive to restructure through this draft, and then throw an olive branch to Li Liang.

For example, the Lakers, who want Li Liang to join, have been actively negotiating a trade for Leonard recently.

Leonard originally stayed well with the Spurs, but in the playoffs last year, because Li Liang used [Tap Odor], the consequence not only lost the series, but also led to a mustard between him and Popovich.

At first, it was just a small pimple in my heart, but I didn't know that the pimple in the back was getting bigger and bigger.

Leonard may seem taciturn, but in reality his personality is very different from Tim Duncan.

Duncan was silent on the court, but off the court he was a very funny, very kind, and very family-oriented person.

And Leonard's upbringing environment has not been like this since he was a child, his father died early, and his uncle has always been his life guide.

Underneath his silent face is an extremely aggressive personality, just like his style of play, which looks unremarkable and is known for his defense, but is actually extremely aggressive.

Duncan, who also seems to be unremarkable, has a clumsy style of play and looks at the overall situation.

It can be said that a player's playing style is often a concentrated embodiment of his personality and life creed.

Leonard is attacking with defense and hiding killing opportunities, and this kill hits the soft underbelly of the Spurs.

The Spurs thought they could re-sign Kawhi Leonard for a price slightly below the maximum salary.

Who knows that Leonard directly said that he did not need to, became a restricted free agent, and said that if the Spurs follow up with the package to sign, he will submit a trade request.

As a result, Spurs had to make a sign-and-trade operation.

Since the signing of the new CBA collective bargaining agreement in 2012, there is no point in raising the contract amount and length of the player by signing first and then changing, so Leonard will definitely sign less than staying with the Spurs, and even then he will leave, which is enough to show that he really doesn't want to stay.

It can only be said that the power of the [Tap Odorant] is really great, and it has taken away a cornerstone of the spur cultivation alive, and this one is enough to change the microclimate in the west.

At this point, the Lakers' offer is very, very attractive.

The Lakers are willing to send Andrew Wiggins and the No. 12 pick in this year's draft, both of which were traded to get Leonard.

What is especially pleasing to the Lakers is that Leonard does have the intention of coming to the Lakers.

He is a Californian and has been a Lakers fan since he was a child.

While the Spurs definitely don't want to trade with the Lakers, the problem is that the Spurs are looking at the chips.

Wiggins' chip with the No. 12 pick is indeed quite tempting, and it is in line with the Spurs' idea of rebuilding.

Poor Wiggins, who spent one season with the Lakers, was put on the shelf.

As for the other teams, they are also on the move, especially the Western giants.

And on June 24, a week after the Finals, a day before the start of the draft, the first trade of the offseason was made, and it was a shocking big deal — the Los Angeles Lakers took the lead, sending Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Al Jefferson, Josh Smith and Prigioni, and some cash.

It seems that the Lakers are going to get serious.

Needless to say, the Los Angeles Purple and Gold Army has once again sounded the clarion call for an arms race in the West.
