Chapter 181: A New Journey

Averaging 30.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, this is Lehi's performance in five Finals games, the team won the championship, and Lehi undisputed the Finals Most Valuable Player. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

NBA commissioner David Stern smiled happily when he presented Lehi with the MVP trophy, "Son, I'm also a New Yorker, thank you for helping New York win another championship trophy." ”

Champagne, parades, revelry, enjoying the cheer of being a hero, the feeling of successfully reaching the top is unparalleled, and you will never feel this sense of accomplishment without experiencing it.

For the next few days, in addition to Lehi's daily training routine, he was celebrating with his friends.

After the playoffs, the next thing is the World Championships, the national team's training camp has already started last month, and Lehi is in a special situation, but he is not required to report immediately.

He thought about it for a while, and simply waited until the end of the draft in July to report to the national team, and in the past ten days, he was also concerned about the company's affairs while adjusting his physical condition.

This year, the Knicks themselves were traded for draft picks, but they got two first-round picks from the Spurs and Raptors, No. 29 and No. 20, respectively, and Isiah Thomas should be interested in picking them again, and Lehi can't participate in the operation of the team for the time being, so he didn't worry about it.

It is because of his outstanding performance that some rookies have expressed their willingness to be in an economic company with the MVP of the finals, but some well-known rookies have long been in a relationship with some large companies, and they are afraid that too big a fish will not take the bait.

Li Hai also considered lobbying in person, but in the end he rejected the idea, he should not participate too much in the company's affairs, and playing a good game is what he should do.

The main lineup of the Knicks to win the championship this summer is still under contract, only some rotation edge players have expired contracts, and basically will not renew their contracts, and players need to find interior players who are good at defense, pure point guard benches, and Li Hai's benches.

As for Jalen Rose, one of the main rotations, he has finished the final year of his big contract, and he already has plans to retire, and if the Knicks offer a suitable contract to keep him, he will definitely stay, but he can't give a lot of money.

So the selection of swingman Reinaldo Balkman and two-way guard Marty Collins in the draft, of course, the slightly better pick in the hands is the New Yorker, which is a Knicks tradition.

This time, though, Isaiah Thomas is out of the way, even though he's complacent now.

In Lehi's list of fat men, Holt Eddie got Kyle Lowry when the playoffs were in full swing before the draft, signed Paul Millsap, who was eager to play in the second round of the draft, and signed Jose Barria, who was undrafted, to help find a job.

didn't win a bigger surprise, but the three people who were able to sign a longer sports life and could play were absolutely worthwhile, Li Hai gave the fat man some advice, and returned to China with Xia Weiliang.

Xia Weiliang officially graduated, and also planned to relax for a while to make up for the busy time before, the company did not personally bring the players, but she was not as busy as Holt Eddie, and then went back after returning to China to accompany Li Hai for a turn, and when it came to the World Championships, she could go to watch the game again.

Xia Weiliang agreed to join the company so that the two could spend more time together, and they would usually have common topics, just grasp the general direction of development, if they were so busy that the two couldn't be together most of the time, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Li Hai returned to China a little earlier, and after visiting some acquaintances in his hometown, he went out to travel with Xia Weiliang, and by the way, he saw a few classmates who had already worked, especially those from the former school team, and he was very happy to see him again.

In mid-July, Li Hai and Yao Ming joined the national team together.

Most of the national team are old faces, and there are only two newcomers, one is defender Chen Jianghua, and the other is old newcomer Wang Zhizhi who has returned to the team.

If you want to say that Li Hai was still a little junior in the national team last year, there is nothing to say about this year, the absolute core figure, the championship and the MVP of the finals added a lot of points to him.

In addition to daily training when entering the national team, Li Hai discussed tactics with head coach Younas whenever he had time, and continued to play one big and four small.

In terms of the characteristics of the Chinese team, Li Hai really felt that Yao Ming fought inside, and the tactics of three three-point shooters outside were the simplest and most effective.

The lineup of the Magic team when Howard led the team to the finals was really average, and if the Chinese team did a good job, it would definitely be able to create miracles.

Lehi's status in the national team is not to be said now, he said that the team will definitely consider it, but to what extent he can do it, it is not up to him to control.

This year's World Championships was held in Japan, and the Chinese team also avoided the pain of jet lag.

Because of the World Championships, this year's Stankovic Cup finally came with some real guys.

Nowitzki, who just finished with Lehi in the finals, Andrew Boggart, Australia's last season's champion, Barbossa and Vallejo of Brazil, Tony Parker, Ronnie Turiaf, Michael Petrus and Dio of France, and Lehi know that in another time and space, they will first win the Stankovic Cup and then defeat Greece in the United States at the World Championships, and Spanoulis in their team will soon become teammates with Yao Ming.

The six teams are divided into two groups, with an intra-group round-robin followed by qualifying.

The Chinese team is in a group with Germany and Brazil, and the first game is the German team led by Nowitzki.

The starters of the Chinese team are Sun Yue, Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, in fact, in addition to Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu and Yao Ming, the three positions of starters have been determined, the point guard and power forward positions are still in the process of investigation, Liu Wei and Wang Zhizhi are still adjusting their physical condition, and it is likely that they will start at the World Championships.

With only a week to go before the World Championships, the two sides also attached great importance to the game, and after the game began, Li Hai assisted Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming to score on the inside to help the Chinese team take the lead.

Li Hai played these two balls very comfortably, the Chinese team's interior line has nothing to say, it is better than Eddie Curry's kid, and the team's outside disadvantage, he will do his best to make up for it.

The Chinese team doesn't need Li Hai to defend Nowitzki, he just needs to do a good job of scoring and organizing.

After the opening three-point line, Li Hai received a pass from Sun Yue and directly hit the inside line, but still made a violent dunk when the opponent had already pulled people, which instantly ignited the home audience of the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center.

At 13:5, the Chinese team played a strong start, telling everyone that their strength is really different. (To be continued.) )
