On July 10, Lin Yi went to Houston, where the men's basketball team will train in Houston in the summer, although Lin Yi knows that he will be stronger in the FIBA format, but training with the team is an essential part.

Da Yao will come to Houston with the men's basketball team on the 12th, and Boss Yao is indeed arrogant, and he will pay for the men's basketball team's training in the United States......

Shortly after arriving in Houston, Lin Yi received a call from James Harden.

"Lin, help me analyze and analyze, do you think it's okay for me to go to the rocket?" The Thunder, as Lin Yi remembers, chose to keep Ibaka and let go of Harden, but the Thunder didn't plan to let go of Hu Ziden for nothing, they planned to use Harden to sign first and then trade, and the Rockets' porcelain king Kevin Martin was the first choice of the Thunder.

Martin's salary is just over 10 million, and the Rockets only need to catch two rookies to match Harden's salary, and the Thunder feel that in terms of data and immediate combat power, Martin is no worse than Harden.

And the thunder of this period can be said to be killed and do not want to pay luxury tax...... It's just that Lin Yi doesn't want to expose the thunder, because in the future, after they lose their stars one after another, shouldn't they pay the luxury tax?

Thunder's decision to change Magneto for the Porcelain King is destined to be slapped in the face in the future, and Presti's vision of choosing people is indeed open, but in terms of operation, he is too limited by the pattern of the Russian village.

Hu Ziden can't say what he has in the Russian village, in fact, he just complained that he had too few shots, but after a wave of Fisher's retelling, it became that Harden was a player who likes to make trouble, and the Thunder combined with his bearded image, and confirmed Harden's identity as a "wolf teammate".

Just if Fisher really was a "prophet"...... Lin Yi is quite grateful to Fisher.

After this trouble, Thunder is destined to suffer a lot of vitality, and the 28-card cap is purely brushed out, and he will only get softer and softer in the future with only a big stick left......

"Can you go anywhere else but Houston?" Lin Yi asked Harden on the phone.

Harden is actually still a little unwilling, he told the Thunder through his agent that it really can't be done, and he can take less, but the Thunder cut his salary again and again......

This made Harden a little depressed, what about the 100 yuan he said? Don't you even want to give me 100 yuan?

"But...... BIG Yao is no longer renewing his contract with the Rockets, and the Rockets are now a bad team. Harden complained, as the so-called thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Harden has become accustomed to the rhythm of winning in the Thunder, and he has to rot for two or three years when he comes to the Rockets?

Lin Yike didn't expect that the future MVP Deng was so unconfident in himself, "Then you choose to be Kevin and Russell in Oklahoma for the rest of your life!" Isn't it just a pay cut? LeBron can, so can you! ”

Lin Yi's agitation worked, and Harden immediately decided to call his agent, pack his baggage and go to Houston, in Hu Ziden's own words, there are more nightclubs in Houston!

"By the way, did you invite the U.S. men's basketball training camp in Las Vegas?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Harden nodded, "Invited..... I was selected for the 12-man squad of Coach K! ”

Lin Yi was very disappointed when he heard it, and he originally wanted to say that he would let Hu Zideng come to do the sparring.

The Chinese men's basketball team will train in Houston until the 25th, and then fly directly to London, these ten days of special training, Da Yao mainly wants the players to feel the training atmosphere in the United States, there are many talented players in Chinese basketball, but they can't compare with the NBA in diet and training.

The 15-person training list of the Chinese men's basketball team has changed a lot in Lin Yi's memory, first of all, Da Yao did not retire, Lin Yi, Da Yao, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian formed what the Chinese media called the "Great Wall Defense Line", in addition, in the selection of personnel, in accordance with Lin Yi's principle of giving some young players more opportunities, the 18-year-old Guo Ailun and Ding Yan Yuhang were recruited, and the 16-year-old Zhou Qi was also selected for the 15-person training squad and came to see the world.

Wang Shipeng, who played well in this London Olympics, showed his open-minded state on the first day of joint training, Lin Yi remembered that in this London Olympics, Wang Shipeng had a convulsive performance, and once hit 7 three-pointers against Australia......

In addition, Brother Sun must have a mine in his house, right?

Sun Yue, who was fatter than when he played in the NBA, was also selected for the men's basketball 15-man training squad, in front of Da Yao, Sun Yue is still very honest, and Lin Yi is not in a rut, the men's basketball team is like this during this period, you don't need Sun Yue and Liu Wei...... Who else can you use?

Donaldson, the new head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, expressed concern about the future of the men's basketball team, "Seriously, Lin, if it weren't for you, I would definitely resign immediately." ”

Donaldson's contract with the Basketball Association indicated that he would have to reach the quarterfinals at least before he could get his full salary, Donaldson felt at the time that with Lin Yi here, he couldn't make it to the quarterfinals in the Olympics, so wouldn't he have to be laughed to death by D'Antoni?

It's just that Donaldson didn't expect that the water in the men's basketball team is really a bit deep.

The only thing that makes Donaldson happy is that, as reported by the media, the Chinese men's basketball team does have four NBA-level interior players, Yao Ming will not say it, Da Yao will not paddle in the national team's game, and Da Yao also hated Lin Yi once in the joint practice, Da Yao was so embarrassed at the time, not to mention how cute it was.

Yi Jianlian is the starting power forward in the Wizards, and although Wang Zhizhi is old, Donaldson really appreciates his offense, so after the first day of joint practice, Donaldson discussed with Lin Yi: "Lin, what do you think of us playing a three-high lineup?" ”

Donaldson plans to arrange Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Lin Yi to start at the same time in the game to form a three-high lineup, so that even the defenders can accept it defensively, after all, the coverage area of these three elders on the inside, plus FIBA does not have a three-second defense rule, it is simply cheating......

Lin Yi nodded, "I suggest you bring Guo and Ding with you at the end, because if we want to produce results, it will definitely be a seven-man rotation to an eight-man rotation, and the substitutes don't have much time to play, and young players can bring us vitality." ”

Donaldson felt completely OK, he had already planned, the game was a three-high with two shooters, Sun Yue's form has declined seriously, but in defense, he can top up against some European tall defenders......

On the second day of the joint practice, Lin Yi also began to exert his strength in training, and the witty UAE immediately hid aside, although the players of the Chinese men's basketball team knew that the NBA MVP played exaggeratedly...... But he still didn't escape being stabbed by Lin Yi.

For example, the guards of the men's basketball team originally practiced 500 three-point shots a day in China, but after coming to Houston, I saw that Lin Yi would practice 1,500 three-pointers every day...... The players who were ready to rest silently picked up the basketballs.

And in terms of diet, Lin Yi is also very self-disciplined, at the beginning, there were still players in the men's basketball team who complained that they couldn't eat nutritious meals, and wanted to eat hot pot and skewers...... As a result, Da Yao said directly: "If you want to eat hot pot and skewers, I will book you a plane ticket now, and no one will stop you when you go home to eat!" ”

In terms of domineering, it has to be Da Yao's domineering.

Lin Yi knows that this is the last Olympic Games for Da Yao, and the giant will retire after the fight, so when training, Lin Yi leads by example, and there is no need to put this thing on the shelf, the more serious Lin Yi is, the more panicked the players of these men's basketball teams are, and it is a good incentive for young people such as Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, and Zhou Qi.

Do you want to play in the NBA?

First of all, you have to keep up with your training.

After the first five days of joint practice, the mental outlook of the men's basketball players has been greatly improved, mainly because Lin Yi is too terrible...... Every day when everyone was still asleep, he got up and started training.

On this day, Da Yao also got up at four o'clock in the morning to practice with Lin Yi.

"Alin, don't you know, the king said behind his back that you are simply a devil." Yao Ming said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled...... Then, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something.

"Brother Yao, do you still have any regrets about the NBA?" Lin Yi asked tentatively.

Da Yao was stunned.

"Yes...... Actually, I sometimes envy you, Arin, because no matter what, you won the championship! Da Yao said with emotion.

So Lin Yi looked at Da Yao seriously.

"Brother Yao, why don't you be busy retiring?"

"How about playing for another year, how about coming to the Knicks and forming a combination with me?" Lin Yi suggested to Yao Ming.

Lin Yi knows very well that although Stern does not want to see the Knicks become an all-Chinese team, the combination of him and Da Yao will not disgust the president, because Da Yao is no longer at his peak.

And in this way, Nix will have an even more unparalleled attraction to the Chinese market!

In addition, after these days of training, Lin Yi found that Da Yao could still fight.

Isn't Da Yao, who changed his style of play after losing weight, the most suitable backup center for the Knicks?

Can carry, can throw, can play low-post singles!

Where can you find such a player?
