Chapter 123: The Deal Resumes
On the afternoon of August 14, it took only half time for the Chinese team to complete the comprehensive suppression of the weakest team in Group B, an African team from Angola, Li Zhi played 25 minutes, scored 18 points, handed out 8 assists, 2 steals, and abused the Angolan defenders at one end.
The second half became an exhibition game for the Chinese team, and the men's basketball players were somewhat fluttering.
However, Angola launched a counterattack in the third quarter, which caught the veterans who were intoxicated by the performance off guard, but after all, the Chinese team experienced the last Spanish counterattack, so Younas adjusted his tactics at the right time in this game.
Li Zhi played 10 minutes and led the defenders of the Chinese team to block Angola's outside attack, and finally the Chinese team won Angola 105:95 without danger and won the game.
The media continued to tout the men's basketball team, saying that the Chinese men's basketball team has launched an attack on the Olympic champion, and it will be difficult to say whether the United States team will win or lose again.
It's just that they have forgotten the palpitating Angolan counterattack in the second half, and if it weren't for Li Zhi's defense of the opposite point guard, this game would not have been so easy to win in the end.
To put it bluntly, Angola's level is low, but it still poses a threat to the men's basketball team without Li Zhi, especially on the outside, Li Zhi has completely become a headless fly with no one to organize defense after he gets off the court, and he has been beaten into a sieve by Angola.
Angola is a soy sauce team, but the next opponent of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, and whoever dares to underestimate the German tank must be prepared to be crushed by this tank.
In the analysis of the media, the German team is the biggest obstacle for China in this Olympic Games, and it can be regarded as the imaginary enemy of the Chinese team. And this year's Germany, on the basis of having the king of Nuotian, introduced the star Chris Kaman of Los Angeles.
Before the game, many fans did not know that Chris Kaman went to the German team. And the reason is naturalization, but Chris Carman is an American through and through.
This battle between China and Germany is very important for the top, and if Germany wants to win, China is also bound to win the second place in the group.
Although Germany introduced Chris Kaman, but the previous record did not meet expectations, they except for the first game to win Angola, and then lost to Greece and Spain in a row, and their final opponent is the United States, strictly speaking, if this game loses to China, they will be eliminated directly.
Where to come from, where to go back, there is no way back, only to break the kettle and sink the boat.
This is not good news for the Chinese team, and the last opponent of the Chinese team is Greece, and if the consumption of a match with Germany is too large, it will directly affect the game between China and Greece.
The night before the Sino-German battle, news came from the United States again that the Warriors had signed guard Sean Livingston, who was abandoned by the Clippers.
Livingston broke his calf in '07 and his talent was rejected, and after a year of waiting, the Clippers finally decided to give up the once-talented point guard, and the "heir to the Magic" can now only get a base salary contract with the Warriors.
For this signing, the media only passed it off, but it was the three-way deal of the Warriors, Wizards, and Clippers that attracted a lot of media attention.
The Warriors sent this year's first-round pick Anthony Randolph and '09 second-round picks, Nick Young and Draymond Jordan; The Wizards sent Javier McGee and Nick Young, got Anthony Randolph and Elsolton; The Clippers sent Draymond Jordan and Elsolton to Nick Young and Javier McGee and second-round picks from the Warriors.
After the deal was completed, a number of media commented that the Warriors were the Clippers' dumpster, and if you look at the current Warriors' roster, Corey Maggeti was the swingman of the Clippers last year, Livingston was the player the Clippers gave up, and Draymond Jordan was the water cooler player who played in garbage time with the Clippers.
For the ridicule of the media, Li Zhi sneered disdainfully, Corymagetti's strength is fully capable of serving as a strong substitute for the team, Livingston will be the perfect puzzle piece of the championship team in the future, and Draymond Jordan will be the inside monster in the future.
Look at Chris Mullin's operation, even if Li Zhi has a prejudice against Mullin, he has to dare to talk about Mullin's luck, this guy is crooked, and he has formed a team full of talent, although the time for this team to cash in on talent is in the future, but this is also terrible.
Kyle Lowry, Stephen Jackson, Richie, Milicic, O'Neal, Crawford, Nick Young, Korry Maggetty, Jordan Jr., Livingston......
"Maybe make the playoffs this year?" Li Zhi thought about it and muttered to himself.
Yi Jianlian, who was beside him, heard Li Zhi's words and said in surprise: "Are you confident to enter the playoffs?" Li Zhi smiled awkwardly and said, "Talk about it, talk about it, how are you?" ”
"I've been traded......" Yi Jianlian sighed.
Hearing Yi Jianlian's answer, Li Zhi nodded awkwardly, he was happy for a while, and he actually forgot about Yi Jianlian.
According to CNN, the Bucks have agreed to send Yi Jianlian and Simmons to the Nets in exchange for Nets forward Richard Jefferson, and the deal could be a win-win for both parties.
According to CNN's analysis, the Bucks, despite losing Yi Jianlian, who has huge potential and market value, also got rid of Simmons' huge garbage contract worth a total of $20.5 million, and more importantly, they got the All-Star level Jefferson, who will form a very terrifying starting lineup with Bogut, Villanueva, Reed and Williams. For the Bucks, who have been away from the playoffs for many years, they need immediate power, and this trade will undoubtedly achieve their playoff goals.
As for the Nets, they have already started to restructure, so they need to think more about the potential of the players and the salary structure. Yi Jianlian is recognized as a power forward with great potential and outstanding athleticism, and his market value cannot be underestimated. The Nets had long planned to move to New York, where there are many Chinese. Therefore, whether from the perspective of team building or market value, the Nets' signing of Yi Jianlian is the best choice for the team and players.
In addition, the Nets are also saddled with Simmons' huge garbage contract, which expires in 2010.
At that time, the contracts of the players of the 03 Golden Generation, such as James, Wade and Bosh, will also expire at that time. As a result, the Nets are likely to recruit one of the three stars to the team at that time.
One can imagine how luxurious the Nets' roster in the 2010-11 season was, with the more mature Yi Jianlian at power forward, James at small forward, and Harris at the same potential playmaking guard, and if Carter does not leave, then the Nets will be the league's favorites to win the championship at that time.
It's just that they don't know that James won't go to the Nets, Carter will get old, Harris won't value it, and Yi Jianlian will be abandoned.
Li Zhi shook his head, his current status is not enough to help Yi Jianlian, so he can only wait for his strength to become strong in the future, and find an opportunity to get Yi Jianlian to become a warrior.
Whether it is the Nets or the Wizards after that, there is no good basketball atmosphere, and Yi Jianlian's talent cannot be exchanged at all.
PS: How about taking the UAE in the future!
I saw that the book friend said that 08 picked up the leak...... The protagonist is not the general manager, so he missed a yarn...... I still dislike my little plum to play as a substitute... Bryant has played off the bench...... My little plum is going to become Kobe's kind of supergiant admired by everyone in the future
Want to see Xiao Lizi win the championship?
Hey, hey, hey~
Guess when?
