With the completion of the Chinese team's warm-up matches in China, the Chinese team also started the last small vacation before the Olympic Games, after two days of rest, they will reassemble and go to the Americas, first of course, with the United States team and the Canadian team, the two North American teams, some warm-up games, and then some Asian teams such as the Philippines, which also came to the Americas for the final warm-up training, and then went to Brazil, and the host Brazil had one or two warm-up matches, Then came the Olympics.

The grouping of the Olympic Games has also come out, and the Chinese team has been divided into Group A, which is known as the group of death, and Group A not only includes the United States team, which now dominates the basketball arena, but also the Australian national team, which has been full of talents in recent years, and of course, the French team, which has played a lot of warm-up games with the Chinese team, is also in Group A. The strength of these three teams is very good, and the remaining two teams are Serbia and Venezuela, although these two teams are not as strong as the previous three teams, but their physical quality still seems to be very good, at least much better than the Asian team.

Compared to Group A, Group B is significantly less combative, with four European teams – Croatia, Spain, Lithuania and Argentina – being drawn into Group B, along with hosts Brazil and Nigeria, who have been losing in different ways. The first game of the men's basketball team will start on August 7, and the first game will be between Australia and France.

The first game of the Chinese team is quite not easy, because their first game is to compete with the hegemony of the basketball world, the United States, which is also a test for the young players of the Chinese team, but if they can play well in this game, maybe they can also get some attention from the NBA team, after all, this Chinese team is still mostly young, and what the future of these people can develop into, these are unknown.

And Ye Xuan's side naturally acts with the team, but because there is Ye Xuan in the team this time, who is quite mixed in the NBA, the destination of the men's basketball team this time is also in Los Angeles, in addition to because Ye Xuan has a house here, the most important thing is that Ye Xuan can help the team borrow the stadium here for training, without going through the official way, which is much more convenient, after all, the stadium borrowed by the official channel is indispensable to the incursion of reporters, And the Chinese team now needs a quiet training venue.

Of course, it is impossible for Ye Xuan to borrow the Staples Arena for the national team to train in the end, after all, his face is not very valuable in the eyes of the Clippers. However, with Ye Xuan's own fame, he still borrowed a basketball arena at the University of California, Los Angeles, also known as UCLA, to train.

In the next few days, it was the day of abuse for the Chinese team, first of all, two warm-up matches with the American team, Ye Xuan did not play in these two games, but was arranged by the palace director to watch the play on the side, watching his national team teammates being pressed to the ground and rubbed by some of his usual subordinates, Ye Xuan's heart also felt a little unconvinced, fortunately, this is only a training match, so he can't prove anything.

Then came the warm-up game with Canada, in fact, Canada's basketball strength is still very good, but unfortunately they are in North America, so they were not able to be selected for the Olympics this time, but now look at their lineup, in fact, it is still very strong, first of all, I have to say that they are the best player in the NBA, and he is also Ye Xuan's friend - Andrew Wiggins.

Wiggins has gradually shown his strength in the recent season, averaging 20.7 points and 4 rebounds per game, and is the scoring champion and anchor of the Timberwolves.

Secondly, the Canadian team also has Tristan Thompson, who won the championship with James this year, Cory Joseph, who fought 6 games in the finals with Ye Xuan's Pacers team with the Spurs, Anthony Bennett, who has a not-so-very good reputation for parallel goods, and even Ye Xuan's teammate now, Robert Thackeray. But in fact, Ye Xuan knows that even if Thackeray still stays in the team next season, it is estimated that he will not have much playing time, and his personal strength is still a little worse than the Lakers' goal next season.

Ye Xuan played in the warm-up match with the Canadian team, but he was replaced after not playing for long, and he only played less than 20 minutes in the whole game, scoring 24 points and 9 assists, when Ye Xuan played, the Chinese team was still playing well, and after Ye Xuan was replaced, the Canadian team instantly controlled the situation, after Ye Xuan was replaced, while sitting in front of the technical table and chatting with Andrew Wiggins, who was also replaced on the side, while watching the situation that collapsed instantly, I feel a little tired and don't love it.

He didn't expect that less than two months after he joined the national team, his teammates suffered from 'Ye Xuan dependence'. This is still not good for the basketball development of the national team, after all, some of his Asian games may not come back to participate, and if the team can't win the continental games, then he will not be a sinner.

So when he finished the warm-up match on the American side and set off for Brazil to make the final preparations before the Olympics, Ye Xuan also began to brew a plan to change his playing style, first of all, he naturally changed his playing style, that is, to pass the ball more. Then when it comes to the critical moment, when the game is anxious, I will take action to turn the tide, so that not only the other players of the team can exercise, but they can also play more easily.

Just do it, Ye Xuan started his own plan in the warm-up match with the Brazilian team, and the effect is still very good, and because Ye Xuan's passing skills have improved, he is more handy in assisting his teammates, and because Ye Xuan's height does not suffer, he can even play as a small forward in rotation to curb the firepower of the opponent's front.

Ye Xuan's change also made him more integrated into the team, in the past, he used his skills to conquer his teammates, but now, he not only plays well on the field, but also can help his friends show their characteristics, making them more involved, which also makes other teammates more motivated.

From this point of view, Ye Xuan also somewhat understands why those teammates of the Lakers are going on, when Lao Ke was there, it was Lao Ke who played with the ball by himself, everyone watched, and there was no sense of participation at all, and then he arrived, although his assists have been very high, but basically he will pass the ball when his teammates receive the ball, so that although his teammates can also score points, the sense of participation is still not very strong. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also felt that his previous style of play might have been a bit excessive, which was probably why he always felt that his teammates were lifeless.

But now is not the time for Ye Xuan to think about these things, after all, the Lakers' lineup for next season has not yet been confirmed, but there is news that the Lakers plan to renew Clarkson's contract with a four-year contract of 50 million, so that the team's sixth man next season should also be found, Nick Young and Clarkson should be able to barely support the Lakers' bench lineup, by the way, you can also add Randle, after all, after Gasol comes, he will either be the starting center, Then let Randle start the big forward, or Gasol starts the big forward, and Randle goes to play the bench lineup, but the final result will depend on whether the Lakers can find their favorite player in the free agency market in the summer.

Ye Xuan also took the opportunity to go back to Los Angeles to play a warm-up game and had a good chat with Wharton Jr., the future coach of the Lakers, and of course Lao Ke and Gasol were also together. In fact, Wharton Jr. is still quite embarrassed to face Lao Ke, after all, when he was a junior brother under Lao Ke before, he was not trained by Lao Ke as a grandson, and now Lao Ke has become an assistant coach who helps him train in charge, that is, he has become his little brother, which makes Wharton Jr. a little unaccustomed.

But when it comes to discussing the right thing, several people are still very professional, first of all, they discussed the people who the team needs to stay in next season, and then began to prepare a trade plan, among these people who stayed, Ye Xuan naturally doesn't need to say much, Clarkson has just signed a contract, and it is naturally impossible to trade it, and Nick Young's singles skills also allow him to have a place on the bench, in addition to Randle, as one of the few reliable interior players on the team, Randle also wants to stay.

The rest of these players are worth studying carefully, in fact, if Ye Xuan wants to say, these players can be directly traded, anyway, the team still has a lot of salary space now, and it is fully capable of recruiting some powerful players to come over, and when the lineup becomes stronger, are you still afraid that those powerful veterans who don't have championships will come to take refuge? However, Walton Jr. still has his own views on this matter, as a head coach, Wharton Jr. still has a deeper understanding of the team, among which there are several players in the team who do not need to be traded, or cannot be traded, such as Larry Nance Jr., such as Zubac, who has just been selected.

Among them, Larry Nance Jr. is because he didn't play too much last season, and he actually played quite well, Wharton Jr. feels that this player has a certain talent and can be cultivated, and now trading him can't get anything, even if he stays in the team to play soy sauce or something, it's better than suddenly growing up and slapping himself in the face after being traded.

Then a few people thought about the players that the team lacked, and asked Ye Xuan to say that what the team lacked the most was naturally the kind of defensive giant, of course, outside firepower is also an indispensable thing, and he did not shy away from directly pointing out his old teammate of the Pacers, Solomon Hill. Ye Xuan knows that Solomon Hill is not happy to play in the Pacers, and now the Pacers are starting to have some chaos within the team, and the top management is also having a headache, on the one hand, Solomon Hill wants a big contract or he will leave the team, on the other hand, there is the contradiction between Pickle Pepper and Rondo, and on the other hand, there is also the contradiction between Rondo and head coach Frank Vogel, after many factors are mixed, Ye Xuan feels that this is an excellent time to sign Solomon Hill.

After signing Solomon Hill, whether Clarkson plays the starting point guard or Solomon Hill plays the starting point guard, the team's -+ starting lineup defense will not be much worse, and this point of view has also been echoed by Lao Ke, after all, Lao Ke still advocates individual defense, otherwise he would not have been selected for the best defensive team many times. Of course, this problem still needs a headache from the top management of the team, and now the team still has a lot of room to sign players anyway, so there is still a lot of room for operation.

After talking about Solomon Hill, Ye Xuan proposed a choice for a center, that is, Ye Xuan's friend, Dwight Howard, but as soon as Ye Xuan said this, he was opposed by Kobe, Gasol and Wharton Jr., the reason is naturally very simple, if it wasn't for Howard in order to trade, the Lakers would not have quickly degenerated to this point, the original Howard had already broken the Lakers' hearts, so even now Ye Xuan is vouching for him, The whole team will not welcome this player to join, not to mention that Ye Xuan has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't dare to give Howard any guarantees.

Now that the introduction of Howard has been put on hold, the team's interior line needs to think about it, is it really true that the 36-year-old Gasol should play as a starting center and go head-to-head with a strong man like Cousins? But then again, the current direction of basketball development seems to be very much in line with this style of play, with Gasol as center and Randle as power forward, so that the team's five positions have the ability to shoot three-pointers, which is very much in line with the current direction of basketball development, and it is also very similar to the tactics that Walton Jr. was exposed to in the Warriors.

Now that this decision has been made, then what the team needs to consider now is a strong player in the small forward position, there are still a lot of free agents in the small forward position this summer, the first thing I have to say is naturally James and Durant, but neither of them seems to be able to come to the Lakers to succumb to Ye Xuan, so if you want to get these two, then Ye Xuan's team status will inevitably decline, and James and Ye Xuan are actually incompatible, both of them need to hold the ball, and the basketball is not enough to score.
