Chapter 257: Chinese Guard
Chapter 257: Chinese Guards
The summer of 2010 can be described as the craziest summer in the league in the past decade, many big-name stars will test the free market, especially the 03 platinum generation of superstars, "Little Emperor" LeBron James, "Flash" Wade, "Dragon King" Chris Bosh and so on, even Carmelo Anthony, whose contract has not expired, has not been able to hold on.
When the Nuggets played in the first round of the playoffs, there was a scandal of applying for a team trade, and now that the season is not over, I heard that my good brothers LeBron James and Wade practiced together, and the "melon" who was not willing to be lonely immediately withdrew from the bustling city of New York and flew to Miami Beach, which was greasy, which really made many fans stunned.
The president of the Miami Heat, Pat Riley, has long predicted the evolution of basketball in the future, and the famous "god operator" in the NBA league believes that the future of basketball will be composed of five swing guards, who can do more on the court with all-round skills, and the position can no longer limit them.
Because of this conjecture, Heat president Pat Riley has always wanted to form a team of swing men to win the championship.
This year is undoubtedly the best opportunity, and the Miami Heat have already released rumors that they plan to put last year's rookie Michael Beasley on the shelf, trade it out, clear up salary space, and test whether they can use this trade to get more chips in exchange for the addition of big-name stars in the free market in the summer.
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers really shocked the entire league, and the superstars in their prime teamed up to form a dream triumvirate to challenge for the championship, which undoubtedly opened a new era of the big three.
It's not that there haven't been cases of giants huddling together, but most of them are after the old age of those famous superstars. Seeing that there was no hope of winning the championship, he joined a strong team with a very low price in his final career to fight hard, but the results were often not ideal.
But in the past two or three seasons, everyone has seen the benefits of the Big Three.
The odds were too great, and the Bostonians waved their checks. At the cost of more than half of the teams, they gathered together the big three lineups, successfully won the championship in the first year of the group, and lifted the coveted championship trophy; The Los Angeles Lakers traded a shameful trade for All-Star center Pau Gasol to put together the axis of a new generation of triangle tactics, and finally won the championship last year.
And this year, the teams that will break into the finals will probably be Boston and Los Angeles, and the two rival teams will stage a series of battles in the finals, which cannot but be said to have the factor of the Big Three lineup.
The biggest star of the summer is undoubtedly LeBron James. Cleveland's "Little Emperor" holds two regular season MVP trophies and has booked a spot in the future Hall of Fame in advance, but he is desperate for a championship, and he is afraid that he will leave his hometown city of Cleveland for the championship to be an Akron wanderer, and at the moment, the probability of this conjecture becoming true is still very high.
According to LeBron James's close friends, it was revealed anonymously. The "Little Emperor" has cut off all news channels with Cleveland and is safe to practice on vacation on Miami Beach. Seems to be attracted by the beauty and sand there.
This news undoubtedly means that LeBron James has removed the management of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the little emperor who is bent on winning the championship seems to be planning to meet with the major teams alone, and I am afraid that once the price is negotiated, it will be a matter of time before he leaves Cleveland.
Cleveland has panicked, not only the fans who like to watch LeBron James play, but also the management of the Cavaliers. From owner Gilbert to the team's management, they all began to try their best to contact LeBron James, who was out of touch.
The Cavaliers owner, who has a Batman instant look on the cover of Forbes, is completely out of shape at the moment, and LeBron James has become Cleveland's signature star in seven years, creating considerable economic profits. It's just the same cash cow as China's Yao, but at the thought of LeBron James leaving, Cavaliers owner Gilbert couldn't help but feel gloomy, he has broken four ashtrays in a row in the past two days, but he still can't contact LeBron James.
However, none of this has much to do with Li Shihao.
When Li Shihao was practicing in Minnesota, an equally young Chinese kid came to his home, this kid was an Ivy League Harvard University player, a Chinese-American young Jeremy Lin.
This kid is a senior this year, and his four years of playing in the NCAA have made him a good improvement, and this year he made the first team in the Ivy League again, repeating the excellent results of his junior season.
Averaging 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, a statistic that put him on the radar of scouts across the United States, especially against the University of Connecticut Huskies.
That's right, unfortunately, UConn's bad luck this season once again became the backdrop for Chinese kids, allowing Jeremy Lin to set a new scoring record, scoring 30 points and 9 rebounds, and it was this battle that attracted the attention of many scouts across the United States.
Charlie, a commentator on ESPN in the United States, even joked in his post-game comments: "Maybe the Chinese boys have a special way of domesticating huskies, and the young lads in Connecticut are not the slightest psychological preparation!" ”
However, the impact of this battle is not great, although Harvard University reached the top 64 in the United States, but that's all, this summer's draft, Jeremy Lin, who is about to graduate, may not have a good chance of being selected.
However, Yao Ming, the big brother who is recuperating from an injury in Houston, is very enthusiastic, just like treating Li Shihao everywhere, and is also as enthusiastic about Jeremy Lin, helping him introduce the team to tryouts, and the Houston Rockets provided Jeremy Lin with a valuable trial opportunity.
However, there are not many teams interested in Jeremy Lin this summer, and the witty big brother Yao Ming hit the idea to Li Shihao's side, wanting Li Shihao to say hello to the team and provide a trial opportunity for Jeremy Lin.
Li Shihao is now the core of the Timberwolves, and it is naturally easy to apply for a tryout, but for Li Shihao, he wants to know whether Jeremy Lin is worth his help.
Li Shihao has not played against Ivy League teams many times in his three years of college, and he has not had contact with Jeremy Lin, and Li Shihao is still very curious about this guard who is also Chinese-American.
If the latter is also diligent and diligent, Li Shihao will definitely help, after all, he used to come over like that! (To be continued.) )
