This year is the London Olympics, and China still wants Richard to lead the men's basketball team to play the Olympics.

But Richard is now in a mess with the Clippers, and he has no time to play in the Olympics, so he didn't take this job in the end.

However, the two Chinese players in the Clippers team this time are going to play for the national team, and Sun Yue is expected by domestic fans to have considerable expectations this time, and everyone is looking forward to him to improve the intensity of the men's basketball backcourt.

The current Sun Yue can really be said to be Yao Ming in the backcourt of the men's basketball team, and no one in China can compare with Sun Yue in the backcourt position.

……

Sun Yue can be regarded as living up to the expectations of domestic fans, and his performance in this Olympics is quite good, and he is the player with the highest score in the entire men's basketball team except for Yao Ming.

Of course, the second highest score does not mean that the performance is the second best, in terms of performance, Yi Jianlian must be better than Sun Yue.

The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is not to be underestimated, with three NBA players who have entered the All-Star, which is the most luxurious lineup except for the United States.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, in fact, as long as you are unlucky to meet the American team before the final, there is no problem in winning a silver medal.

And this London Olympics, the luck of the men's basketball team is obviously a little bursting, the group was not in a group with the United States team, and the subsequent games did not meet the United States team, and the two teams will only have a chance to meet in the finals.

In this way, the Chinese men's basketball team's trip to the London Olympics can be regarded as fruitful.

Just when the Olympics were in full swing, a pretty big piece of news broke out in the NBA trade market.

In a four-team deal, the Magic sent their interior core Howard to the Lakers, from whom they acquired Odom and Davis Bertans.

And that's not all, the Lakers hysterically took out the 2013 first-round pick and second-round pick, the 2014 second-round pick plus the 2105 first-round pick, a $9 million trade exception, plus some cash compensation, and brought in Nash from the Suns.

As soon as these two transactions came out, they directly detonated the whole league, and countless Lakers fans went crazy, such a lineup can be called rebellious, and the luxury is no less than the previous Lakers' F4 lineup.

Many fans are optimistic that the Lakers can continue to defend their title this year, after all, this lineup is too powerful.

And the Bass family really thought the same way, taking advantage of Kobe Bryant's still play, he hurriedly tried his best to put together a championship-winning lineup and strive to win another championship.

While the whole league was praising the Lakers' miraculous operation, Richard was a little scoffing.

The Lakers' operation is completely sending themselves to their death.

Nash's current form is far worse than his prime, you must know that Nash was born in 74 and is now 38 years old......

Take four draft picks in exchange for a 38-year-old veteran, and if you can win the championship, everything is easy to say, and everything makes sense.

If they fail to win the championship, the future of the Lakers will be completely ruined.

This is somewhat similar to the move of the Rockets to introduce Paul in later generations, and the Rockets introduced Paul naturally to win the championship, if they win the championship, Morey's operation is magical, but in the case of not winning the championship, Paul's contract is quite debatable, so that the Rockets completely lose the opportunity to strengthen.

In Richard's view, the Lakers' operation is actually not as reasonable as the Rockets' operation of introducing Paul.

Nash himself has not defended, and now the 38-year-old Nash is not just a defensive hole, it is not too much to say that it is a black hole.

Richard feels that the current Nash is on the court, and his role is really not as big as that of the glove Payton in the previous F4 lineup.

It also turns out that the Lakers brought in Nash definitely not a wise choice, and if the deal had been four or five years earlier, it would have been a matter of two words.

However, if it was really four or five years earlier, the sun might not be happy......

As for the operation of introducing Howard, this is actually completely faulty, the Lakers have always encountered the tradition of introducing super centers, and Howard is also one of the best centers in the league at the moment, and the Lakers can get Howard, which is really lucky.

……

Almost all fans are looking forward to the Lakers' F5 lineup and looking forward to them beating all teams in the new season, but Richard is worried about the Spurs.

The current Lakers are not worth mentioning, and they have completely lost the opportunity to compete for the championship, but the Spurs have selected high-quality newcomers in the draft for two consecutive years, which makes Richard a little jealous of their strength.

Especially at the moment of George Hill, Popovich has not been sold, and the devil knows what kind of player Popovich will exchange Hill for.

Sure enough, what worries Richard the most happened.

In mid-August, the Spurs made a deal with the Warriors in exchange for George Hill, who the Warriors acquired in the 2011 draft, Kemba Walker.

When Richard learned the news, he rolled his eyes, because he didn't get any news about this deal beforehand, and the Warriors didn't reveal anything to him.

If Richard had known about this deal in advance, he would definitely have stopped the Warriors, and although Kemba Walker is not the top star, he is certainly worth more than a George Hill!

Of course, as things stand, the Warriors have nothing to blame for making this deal.

In his first season with the Warriors, Kemba Walker averaged a lot of points per game, about 13 points like George Hill, but his offensive efficiency was one in the sky and one on the ground.

Walker is averaging only 36 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range, so it's not uncommon for such a prospective Warriors to come up with a trade with the Spurs.

Richard estimated that the Warriors' side may also feel that this deal was clearly not a loss, so they did not come to consult Richard's opinion......

In fact, before this deal, the Warriors' roster was already beginning to take shape, with the No. 5 big white edge plus the No. 1 Kemba Walker, and then stacking excellent 3-and-D players in the remaining three positions, this team can be regarded as a Western Conference playoff-level team.

In three years at most, with Richard's help, the Warriors will be able to rise.

But because of this deal, the rise of the Warriors is undoubtedly going to be pushed back, after all, a point guard like Kemba Walker, who is in the top three levels in the East, is not so easy to get.

The Spurs undoubtedly took advantage of this deal again......

With Jimmy Butler, Chris Middleton plus a Kemba Walker, Popovich is absolutely crazy this time!

Only now the Spurs lack a Duncan successor, that is, they lack an inside line, otherwise, the Spurs will stand tall again in the next ten years.

Uncomfortable, Richard felt unspeakably uncomfortable, the days were getting more and more sad, I thought that I would be able to beat everything back in the west, but these operations of the Spurs made Richard realize that things were not so simple.

……

At the end of the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team won a precious silver medal, and in this way, the Chinese men's basketball team won the medal grand slam in the Olympic Games, with gold medals, silver medals and bronze medals.

In the final against the United States team, the Chinese team only lost a seven-point difference in the end, which is quite acceptable to domestic fans anyway.

……

In September, Richard called the newcomers to the team to start training, as for the old men like Big Ben, Richard didn't call them to train, after all, at this age, there is nothing to practice.

But Big Ben still came, and it was rare to have this opportunity to get along with Richard day and night, and after they left Richard, they had been looking forward to this day.

The tactical system of the new season has not changed from the previous season, and it still follows the tactical system of the previous season.

Because the assistant teachers under his hands were almost running out, Richard urgently recruited a group of assistant teachers.

One of the most pleasant surprises for Richard was receiving a resume from Nick Nurse.

This Nick Nurse is the Nick Nurse who led the Raptors to the Finals for the first time in history......

And the season when he coached the Raptors to the Finals was the first season of Nas's NBA coaching career.

Being able to lead the team to the Finals in his first NBA coaching season is already a great indication of his ability.

What really makes Richard fancy this Nas is that Nas is a quite assertive head coach, not a head coach like Grandpa Lu or Brother Baker who will change his tactics under the pressure of public opinion.

Because of the reuse of Van Jordan, Nas was almost sprayed to death in the series, but Nas still withstood the pressure and continued to reuse Van Jordan, and the results worked wonders.

If it weren't for Van Jordan's sudden outburst, who would have said that the Raptors would have made it to the Finals? You must know that before this round of Eastern Conference finals started, not many people were optimistic about the Raptors.

Even the big-mouthed Barkley shouted that the Raptors would be swept 4-0.

……

At present, Nas is working as a teaching assistant at Edward University, and when he learned that the Clippers were recruiting assistant teachers, he immediately submitted his resume.

Richard has produced a lot of head coaches under his hands, and Nurse naturally wants to come to the NBA to test the waters.

The top coaches in the NCAA may have higher salaries than NBA coaches, but this is a minority after all, and there are thousands of coaches in the entire NCAA, and if you count the assistant coaches, it must be thousands of people......

The salary of most of these coaches is actually not as high as people think.

It's normal to think about it, there are only 30 head coaches in the NBA, and their salaries are naturally much higher than the average salary of NCAA coaches.

Even if Nurse can squeeze into the position of head coach of Edward University, his salary is not as good as that of an NBA head coach.

……

Needless to say, Richard had Cole call Nurse directly to inform him that he had been accepted.

In addition to Nas, Richard also saw Tyronn Lue's resume.

After Grandpa Lu retired in 09, he went to Lukai as the director of basketball affairs development, and the name is somewhat similar to the president of basketball affairs, but the two are not the same thing at all.

After only working for less than half a year, Grandpa Lu lost his job due to the change of the Green Kai team.

Under normal circumstances, in fact, Grandpa Lu was invited by Doug Reaves in 2011 and also came to the Clippers as an assistant coach.

Later, Grandpa Lu was poached by the Cavaliers to give David Blatter a hand, and the next thing fans must know is that after Blatter was laid off, Grandpa Lu successfully ascended to the throne and became a generation of "super bishops".

……

Now that Dougreaves himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how could he have the heart to invite Grandpa Lu, and as a result, Grandpa Lu submitted his resume by himself.

Richard thought for a moment, and then decided to accept Grandpa Lu.

At the moment, I really have no one to use, so I can only use Grandpa Lu.

Besides, Grandpa Lu may not be so unbearable, after all, he can coach James for so many years, and there must still be something at hand.
