June 20th.

The New York Knicks ushered in a grand "Championship Parade".

This is the first time in 38 years that the "championship parade" belongs to the Knicks, and crazy Knicks fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Dolan is very aware of everyone's expectations, in order to avoid the final effect not meeting the expectations of the fans, and being dug up the "ancestral grave" on the Internet, he generously took out 2.5 million dollars of activity funds to ensure that this parade can be enough fun.

And on the day of the Knicks' "Championship Parade", Nike launched the third generation of Li Wan's signature shoes.

This signature shoe was named by Li Wan himself:

its all mine！

Translated into Chinese is: I want them all!

The designer heard the name and was satisfied.

There is no more suitable adjective for Li Wan in the 10~11 season.

From data to honor, Li Wan really did it, amount, amount, all amount!

One does not fall!

The sneakers are black overall.

The light is divided into seven colors, and when combined together, the seven colors are black, which is the main color of the sneaker that best matches the third-generation signature shoe. At the same time, the gold thread is trimmed and wrapped around the tongue to form the spelling "New York", but this "New York" looks like a crown......

Meaning: "King of New York"!

Seeing this crown, even Li Wan himself couldn't help but shout:

Big gall!

And there is no royal law anymore!

Is this a graphic that you can trace?

Beware of being knocked out~

Li Wan's influence was vividly reflected at this moment, and he released new shoes for New York, which won the third championship in team history, which attracted the attention of New York State. A local tyrant threw millions of dollars and bought him an entire page in the "New York Times" to introduce the third-generation signature shoes belonging to Li Wan.

It is expected that the sales of these shoes will set a new record in the United States!

This is certainly good news for Li Wan, but it should be a sweet annoyance for Nike.

Li Wan signed with him for 4 years at that time, and now the signed shoes are out of the third generation, and the contract will officially expire next summer, this pair of signed shoes has set a new record, coupled with the momentum of Li Wan currently sitting on the first place in the league's active team, although they are working together very happily, but what kind of price should be given, but you have to think about it......

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Wan.

2.5 million knives were not smashed for nothing.

There are 10 sightseeing buses for the parade alone.

Li Wan held the championship trophy and the finals MVP trophy in his hand and stood on the first advertising car.

Da Yao was also in the first car, but he stayed on the roof for a while and then went down.

The wind was so strong that it gave him a headache!

And his height, the fence on the roof of the sightseeing car is the same, he has a sense of security, or go down and sit on the seat blocked by a window, and happily show a "emoji" smile.

Kwame Brown and Artest squirted champagne from the crotch left and right.

The translucent, odorless liquid filled the air and turned into tiny beads of liquid that slowly fell, and Knicks fans did not hide from it, bathing in "holy water" with a pious and fanatical smile on their faces.

Delicious!

Seeing this, Artest and Kwame Brown suddenly fired "champagne cannonballs" even more excitedly: It's delicious, you drink more!

This provoked one cheer after another.

Knicks fans think it's okay, Lewis thinks it's not.

Artest and Kwame Brown can't do it!

Shoot so close, who to drink!

He picked up a stalk of champagne and shook it vigorously, and a "column of water" shot up into the sky and shot farther away.

The atmosphere is even hotter......

Lewis leaned back slightly, what is a "high battery"!

If Lewis is "shooting high and far", then Ray Allen is "shooting far and accurate", which mouth can rush into which mouth he refers to......

Lewis was stunned.

Giegie, worthy of Giegie!

The technology is so good!

The "Seattle Twins" stirred the eye of Artest and Kwame Brown. The two men glanced at each other, and the battle began!

Immediately shake the champagne bottle more vigorously.

The "Big Apple" became "Big Champagne".

The convoy departed from Madison Plaza, circled in an irregular circle, and returned to Madison Plaza, where tens of thousands of Knicks fans followed.

The whole journey lasted for 1 hour, the Knicks outside shooters plus Kwame Brown sprayed for an hour, and the New Yorkers drank for an hour.

Happiness knows no bounds.

When the car stopped, there was a commotion at the scene, they hadn't had fun yet!

However, when Li Wan, who was wearing a championship team hat, appeared on the most central stage with a microphone, all the noise turned into unanimous cheers:

"Li Wan!"

"Li Wan!"

"Li Wan!"

“mvp！”

“mvp！”

“mvp！”

……

Shouting and shouting, I don't know who suddenly shouted:

“new y！”

Then everyone changed their tunes:

“new y！”

“new y！”

“new y！”

……

Li Wan looked at the most excited fan in front of him, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

But what he didn't expect was that his actions caused a more violent reaction from this fan, his body trembled, and he actually knelt on the ground involuntarily.

As soon as he knelt, the rest of New Yorkers followed suit......

Yes, kings are made to bow down!

Tens of thousands of New York fans knelt down one by one, and reporters on the sidelines hurriedly used their cameras to record the classic scene in the future: 10,000 people kneeling to worship the "new king of New York"!

"Lee, you said on victory night that this was just the beginning, will we have more championships?"

"Will we win three in a row, husband?"

"There's not going to be just one champion in New York, is there, Lee?"

……

The crowd was filled with long-awaited questions from the "people".

Li Wan picked up the microphone and answered these expectations head-on:

"Guys, like I said, this is the beginning, not the end, and you're going to be the luckiest New York fans because you're going to have the best of the 'New York era.'"

The simple and clear answer made the fans who were still kneeling at the scene enthusiastic, and they opened their hands even more crazy and shouted again:

“new y！”

“new y！”

“new y！”

It was like a scene of a gathering organized by a "cult", which made the Knicks public relations team a little worried, and immediately sent additional personnel to protect Li Wan and left the scene.

The "Championship Parade" ushered in by New York for the first time in 38 years ended in a hurry!

Li Wan's popularity in New York has aroused heated discussions in the United States, and the "Worship of All Peoples" has stunned a lot of brick families, how have they ever seen such devout New York fans?

In the afternoon of the same day, the mayor of New York personally called Li Wan, hoping that he could cooperate with the official shooting of a public service announcement to persuade everyone to stop defecating in the open.

"Peeing City" is really not good!

Li Wan agreed, but he didn't agree in vain, and took the opportunity to join forces with the official to set up a refugee-related charitable foundation. The government specially approved a piece of land for him and brought him sponsorship, and Li Wan turned into an officially authorized "director of the New York refugee center".

The prestige continues to rise......

However, Li Wan still gave full authority to Taryn and let him take charge of everything next.

Tyron has been really busy lately.

PG1 has just launched several new products related to the 10~11 season. In addition, Li Wan chatted with Taylor and officially decided to establish a sub-brand XL under the brand of PG1.

Taylor is the head of the brand and the face of the brand.

Taryn is still responsible for these process-oriented things.

Now there is such a "New York refugee camp......

Taryn discussed with Li Wan and decided to officially establish the "Li Team", otherwise he would really not be able to play such a big handicap alone.

Li Wan agreed.

It just so happened that Li Zi was about to graduate, and there were many relatives in the team, which could make Li Wan feel more at ease, but he specifically talked to Li Zi, asking her to watch more and learn more, talk less and do more, and when she really learned how to operate the team, it would not be too late to express her opinions......

Li Zi didn't think so at first, but after she fully understood Li Wan's current business scale, she suddenly became modest and cautious.

Li Wan devoted himself to the special training in the summer.

When he enters the new season, his template tasks are all completed, and according to his previous experience, his new template should be in place at the end of the regular season next season.

Li Wan's task this summer is also very simple, to improve some aspects that still have a lot of room for growth, so that he can become more balanced...... Mainly, those aspects of potential that are quickly squeezed out are really too slow to improve, like Zhongtou, he is now practicing for a summer, maybe he can't improve by 2 points.

Let's spend our time on the more obvious shortcomings.

June 25th.

On the fourth day of Lee's official start of training, the NBA ushered in its annual draft convention.

Another group of young talents is about to enter this alliance.

As before, the Cavaliers, who had the second-to-last regular season record in the league, failed to get the No. 1 pick, but relied on the signing spot provided to him by the Clippers to get the final No. 11 pick.

Again, the Cavaliers drafted Kyrie Irving into the team.

The man who could be the best demon entered the league with the first pick in the first round in 2011.

The second pick was Derrick Williams.

The scouts gave him the template no one else, it was LeBron James, and the Cavaliers also wanted to choose this "king 2.0" at one time, but in the end, they were still impressed by Kyrie Irving's gorgeous offensive skills and gave up this "little LeBron Jr".

As soon as the Timberwolves saw the Cavaliers' big stupid fork, they gave up the opportunity to choose "LeBron", and immediately placed an order to snatch the "king of tomorrow".

The third pick is Kanter, a man who has no relevant information about Baidu 20 years later.

In terms of talent, he was worthy of the third pick in the first round, but he had a bad brain, and finally made himself a "wanted criminal".

The fourth priority is the famous "Eight Sage Kings" in the future, with an average of 8 plus 8 per game, and he dares to ask for 80 million ...... Of course, in terms of his future "merits", the blacks with bad brains really have to give him 80 million dollars...... After all, he single-handedly defended one of the Kardashian family's "best defensive players". Avoid others being left alone.

The fifth pick was Valanciunas.

In terms of the quality of the top five, 2011 was actually a "draft year".

This is not only for the NBA, but also for the CBA, and in this draft, there are many future CBA celebrities, such as "LeBron Jr." Derrick Williams.

Another example is the "lonely god" Jimmer Fredette.

Plus, there's Jordan Crawford......

These players who were eliminated by the NBA but shined in the CBA have one thing in common: all-round......

Fredette's scouting report shows him as a two-way defender, and Derrick Williams' scouting report says he's an "all-around striker with three and four".

But when they really entered the alliance, they all became "neither......

It's not just this draft that has such a problem, most of the draft will have such an "all-round" player become "all-in-one".

The reason is also simple, the league level is too high......

Before the "Lonely God", Biyombo and Kemba Walker were also drafted by the team, and then Kerry Thompson was brought to Golden State by the Warriors with the 11th pick in the first round. "Kawaiyin" was also selected by the Pacers with the 15th pick in the first round and changed the Spurs hat on the spot......

Then the Morris brothers, Nikola Vucevich, Reggie Jackson, and Jimmy Butler were also selected.

These familiar names continue to illustrate how high the quality of the 2011 draft is!

Do you think that's the end of it?

In the second round, there are also the best options such as Bojan Bogdanovic, Chandler Parsons, and Isaiah Thomas.

It's a pity......

The New York Knicks' draft picks this year were all traded, and no matter how good the quality was, they were destined to be spectators, so Li Wan simply didn't watch this year's draft.

As long as he doesn't watch it, it means that there is no rookie this year!

But if you really want to say it, the discussion at this year's draft meeting is really not loud, and on July 1, everyone's eyes are on labor negotiations.

Previously, ESPN gave a sky-high broadcast contract, and the ratings of this year's finals hit a new high in 98 years, especially the last one, which reached an exaggerated 32.14 million!

Many media outlets are optimistic that the collective bargaining agreement will be renewed before the old contract expires.

However, when the representatives of labor and management met today, it did not seem so optimistic.

The quarrel between the two sides was fierce. Especially Michael Jordan sat in the boss's chair and slapped the table and scolded "Niang Xipi": "Why do you want so much? ”

This is vaguely reminiscent of the league shutdown of '99, when Michael Jordan sat in the seat of the player's representative and also slapped the table:

"Why do you want so much!"

From player to owner, Jordan is still that Jordan!

Fortunately, the boss's side is not monolithic.

Like Dolan and Jerry Bass, both of their bosses don't think there's any point in dwelling on those few percentage points.

The owner of the Wizards even directly ridiculed Jordan for his "insight" and wasted a lot of high-ranking signings, but asked the players to pay for their incompetence.

And the likes of the Suns' Robert Sarver and the Cavaliers' Dan Gilbert and Michael Jordan believe the owners deserve more of the share.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a contradiction between the owners of big city teams and the owners of small city teams.

Like New York and the Lakers, who are making profits every year, as long as the NBA continues to function, they have a lot of money in their pockets, and they don't even need to think about team results.

But in a small city like the Suns and Cavaliers, a few percentage points is enough to determine whether the team can reach the profit line.

The NBA has a data report that at least half of the NBA teams are losing money, which is certainly an exaggeration, but it is a certain thing that the teams in those small cities are losing money or barely making ends meet, otherwise there would not be two or three NBA team owners who want to sell the team every year.

Again, capitalist ambitions aside, the collective bargaining agreement signed by Ewing in '05 was a bit outrageous, requiring 57% of the league's total revenue to be used for player salaries, and the remaining 43% for the owner's profits......

Such an agreement was actually negotiated for them.

Professional players in the other three major leagues in the United States almost fainted from crying in the toilet.

Such an agreement is not destined to last, and this year is the day for the redistribution of the cake.

After the first round of negotiations, as one of the faces of the current alliance, Li Wan participated in the second round of collective bargaining agreement negotiations, watching Wade and David Stern pointing at each other and scolding each other. If it weren't for the phone being put away, he really wanted to take a picture of it as a souvenir.

Two simple words to describe:

Stimulate!

Due to the large number of people who participated in the meeting, many details of what happened at the meeting, including the news of Wade's confrontation with David Stern, spread to the outside world.

The media, which had been quite optimistic, immediately felt that this summer's "shutdown was inevitable", which exacerbated the panic among the players. Especially those low-level players, they have begun to contact overseas leagues.

Fisher talked to Levan once, and given the latter's urine, Levan didn't say much to him, and on July 1, the old collective bargaining agreement expired, because the new agreement had not yet been signed, and David Stern reluctantly announced that "the NBA entered an indefinite shutdown."

Now the players are even more panicked......

They expressed their dissatisfaction with the players' union, arguing that the union president should be replaced by someone more competent. They hope Ewing can go out and talk to the owners one more time on behalf of the players' union.

Ewing has been retired for so long and has to make a living in the team, so he naturally does not want to stand against the boss, but he mentions one person:

"Li Wan is a successful businessman, he owns his own industry, maybe he is more suitable to lead this labor negotiation."

Li Wan stood on the cusp of the storm.

Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he chose to remain silent in the second round of collective bargaining agreement, but now Ewing's words made him have to stand up and say something.

Otherwise, he will become a "selfish villain" in the eyes of the players......

However, he knows what Ewing thinks, this is to give him a chance to establish prestige among the players, if he can solve this problem satisfactorily and quickly, this league will be full of Li Wan's brothers in the future.

Li Wan didn't stay silent for long, and soon accepted an interview: "This league has the best players on the planet, which is the reason why the NBA is special, but as long as these top players exist, then this league can be called the NBA, or ABA, or CBA......"

These words can be described as "one stone stirs up a thousand waves".

Even David Stern made a phone call to Lee Wan overnight...... Are you serious?

He couldn't be so excited.

On the afternoon of Li Wan's words, several "billionaires" in Ohio and New York expressed their willingness to join the formation of the new league.

Coupled with the "Huaxia Market" behind Li Wan, I am afraid that on September 15 this year, the season will start......

That's a lot of energy!

You say, how can David Stern not be afraid?

Li Wan replied helplessly: "David, hurry up and get this thing done, I know you have the ability......"

“…… I got it, Lee! ”

The little Jewish old man hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Li Wan was serious or not, Stern heard it very clearly: this guy still trusted him......

This means that Li Wan doesn't really want to do another league.

That's it!

However, at the moment, the movement brought by Li Wan's remarks is a bit big, and the public opinion outside is louder and louder, looking at that posture, it seems that a new global league will immediately emerge to replace the NBA, and he must appease the bosses as soon as possible.

In fact, it's almost over, and it's time for both labor and management to show their hole cards......

On July 3, David Stern announced the "suspension of the coalition" at the first collective meeting, which lasted about one and a half hours, and representatives from both sides of the labor and management walked out of the room with happy smiles.

This time, the two sides are no longer just arguing, but really discussing it to the ground.

Some small aspects have basically been determined, and the main sharing issue is still not discussed, but this issue has also been discussed for a while, the players agree to reduce it a little, and the bosses are willing not to exceed 50%!

The progress is so fast, as the president of the union, Fisher bluntly said in an interview that "fortunately not disgraced", but many players who did not want to be named said to this: "Why is your face so big? ”

After Li Wan said that in front of the media, the negotiation between labor and management became smooth, and the blind man knows whose credit it is, are you embarrassed to grab the credit here?

Let's get out of class!

The chairman of the players' union, let's be Li Wanlai!

This is not said casually, and the "old fish" received a notice that the fish was fried that night.

Fisher's face was "green" at the time.

Li Wan didn't expect that he would rob Fisher of the chairman of the players' union with a word......

What a goddamn charm!

On July 5, the first day of Chairman Lee's tenure, the fourth meeting of the labor-management agreement was discussed, and when the representatives of the management saw who was coming, they sincerely said that we were not greedy and that the 99-year-old labor-management agreement had been restored.

In '99, the final share of the player's salary was 55%......

And this is all thanks to the "god of basketball" sitting in the seats of the players' representatives and slapping the table.

Now Li Wan is looking at it like this, and the final result given by the management is also 55%, which is only 2% lower than the original!

Li Wan was silent on the surface, but his heart was full of surprise, he remembered very well that the original 2011 collective bargaining agreement between the player and the boss was between 49% ~ 51%.

It is equivalent to saying that the players have dropped by 6%~8%!

Is it so easy?

What Li Wan didn't know was that there was a big difference between the original situation and the current situation:

First, at this time, ESPN did not give a sky-high price in advance to renew the contract;

second, the ratings of the original 11-year finals are also okay, but compared with the 10-year "Hukai War", there is still a slight decline, but this time, the ratings of the finals are a new high since 98;

Such a favorable development trend, coupled with the movement caused by Li Wan's words, makes it clear to the league bosses that there are only two words that the NBA needs most now:

Maintain stability!

The most crucial thing is that David Stern also tends to concede players this time, and even the most stubborn Michael Jordan also said to him "No, you sell the team!" ”

You don't play!

To say that the "God of Basketball" is lawless, but in front of David Stern, he is as well-behaved as a "three-good student".

In fact, he also knows that the valuation of the Bobcats rises every year, all in 100 million, and no matter how much the team loses, it is impossible to lose more than 100 million yuan, which is the same as taking money to raise "real estate".

Now that David Stern is angry, he can only shut up and agree.

Of course, David Stern can be so strong, and it has a lot to do with the disagreement between the boss.

As long as the majority of the bosses support him, he can treat the remaining bosses who disagree as he would his own subordinates.

But if most owners agree to something, such as disagreeing with Paul joining the Lakers, then no matter how insistent he is, as long as there is room for operation, he can only do it obediently and cannot shirk it.

Four or five points to put it bluntly, it is two or three hundred million, and if it is evenly distributed to each team, it will be 10 million......

It's still a hammer, let it go!

Li Wan ended the meeting on sharing so smoothly, and it took less than half an hour before and after. Less than half an hour after he walked out of the conference room, the official also announced the latest discussion of the division of labor and management.

When I saw that the official document said that the salary of the players was still as high as 55%, the players of the entire league were boiling, and they tweeted one by one:

"Li Wan is my god!"

Including Kevin Durant also tweeted.

You ask him if he really wants to post it?

He will definitely say in the trumpet: no!

But at this time, it is politically correct to express "Li Wan is a god". He had to do it!

The most difficult part was over, and the remaining part was quickly finalized at the next labor-management meeting, and "Chairman Lee" watched the birth of the "Lee Wan Clause" with his own eyes.

Like the original "Rose Clause", the "Lee Wan Clause" stipulates that a player who completes his rookie contract will receive a contract with a maximum salary of 30% of the team's salary cap when he signs the second contract of his career.

Originally, after the rookie contract was executed, he could get a maximum salary contract of 25% of the team's salary cap.

Don't look at it as only 5%, but Li Wan's starting salary can get 17.4 million!

That's about 3 million more than the original......

It is also worth mentioning that the original 2011 collective bargaining agreement stipulated that the six-year increase of the "bird rights" was 10.5%, while the new version is only 7.5%.

Other years also changed from 8% to 4.5%......

These are all changes based on the change in the percentage of shares.

This version of the player's salary has not fallen as much, so that this part of the change has not occurred.

This means that when Li Wan triggers the "Li Wan Clause", the annual increase is still 8%!

In this way, even if Li Wan only signs a "3 plus 1" contract, the total salary of the contract can be as high as 78.5 million!

Compared with the original 5-year 86 million, there is only 7.5 million short, which is about the size of Kwame Brown's one-year contract......

It can be seen that the "Li Wan clause" is domineering!

However, the conditions are also a little harsher than they should be.

The original "Rose Clause" required that one had been elected MVP four years before his rookie contract, or had been named to the starting team twice in the All-Star Game, or had been named to the All-Star Team twice.

As long as any one of the conditions is met, it will be fine.

Now, you need to meet any two conditions.

This makes Kevin Durant, the first person who originally enjoyed the "Rose Clause", unable to trigger the "Leewan Clause". He's been named to the All-Star Team twice and has been a starting All-Star once, but with one more All-Star start, he can still meet that clause......

Knowing the news, Kevin Durant trained himself even harder.

Trying to overwork yourself and forget about it!

The effect is still a little bit, after two hours of crazy training, Kevin Durant kept muttering: "I don't want to touch this guy's light, Li Wan's terms will let him trigger it alone, anyway, 14.5 million is not much different from 17.4 million!" ”

"Besides, he has 80 million in four years, and I ...... in five years More than 80 million! Isn't it just one more year? What's the difference? ”

It's just that, I don't know when my eyes are full of tears.

Especially when I saw the private messages sent to him by some netizens on Twitter:

"Kevin Kevin, you and Li Wan are both newcomers in the class of 07, and you signed a new contract this summer, why are you more than 80 million in 5 years, and he is almost 80 million in 4 years?"

"Doesn't this bully honest people!"

"Kevin, I'm mad at you!"

……

Especially after seeing Scarlett praise Li Wan's related news, he couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed down his eyes.

He's so sour!

With the announcement of the "Li Wan Clause", the labor-management agreement of the alliance, which was quite violent a week ago, has come to a successful conclusion.

Li Wan became the biggest winner, not only getting the identity of "Chairman Li" again, but also gaining a higher status among the players. At the same time, the "Li Wan clause" was triggered, and a "maximum salary contract" was about to be signed that was much higher than the original renewal contract.

However, everything he has gained, in the eyes of everyone, is what he deserves, and some players even think ...... For "player heroes" like Li Wan, these are not enough!

On July 10, the collective bargaining agreement came into effect, and David Stern immediately announced the restart of the alliance, and the free trading market, which was 10 days late, officially began.

After discussing with Donnie Walsh, Li Wan signed a 4-year 78.5 million in the form of "3 plus 1"!

The first three years of the normal contract, with the final year as a player option......

This binding time gave Li Wan a little more security.

At the same time, both Mike Conley and Greg Oden signed their own contract extensions.

Oden's contract is the same as Kevin Durant's, 5 years and 85 million;

Conley's is a little less, but it also has 64 million for five years, which is nearly 20 million larger than the original 5-year 45 million he signed in 2011.

But it's normal, the original Mike Conley "turtle speed" forward, the fourth year of his rookie contract ended, and the season averaged only 13.7 points, 6.5 assists and 3 rebounds per game, and now, in the third year of his rookie contract alone, his average data per game has come to 16.5 plus 8, and this season has reached 18.4 points and 7 assists...... More than 4 million a year, in the words of Director Zhang, it is quite reasonable!

The only one left with an unrenewed contract for the "Ohio Three" is Daquin Cook.

However, it is not that he has not signed a renewal contract, but the amount is not large, there are about two or three renewal contracts of four or five million for two years, and he is still weighing it.

The current situation suggests that he is dangerous, that he is on the verge of being eliminated from the league, and he must make sure that his next home gives him enough playing time to perform.

The same is true of the advice Li Wan gave him, think about it carefully.

But what he didn't expect was that Donnie Walsh called him that night: "Man, I'm ready to sign your college teammate Daquin Cook, he's not asking for much, and we just lack a reliable No. 2 to give Ray more time to rest!" ”

For a long time last year, Li Wanlai made a cameo appearance in the No. 2 position.

This position has always been something Donnie Walsh wants to strengthen!

Daquain Cook is clearly a good option at the moment, of course, ability is one thing, but the main thing is that he has a good relationship with Li Wan and will not be a potential locker room turmoil.

This is one of the main considerations for Donnie Walsh to bring in reinforcements right now.

Li Wan only signed a 3-plus-1 contract, which made him realize that Li Wan still lacked a sense of security for the Knicks.

Of course, Walsh doesn't blame Li Wan for this.

As for the cerebral palsy boss, even Walsh doesn't guarantee that when will he have a sassy idea again!

When Li Wan heard Walsh's thoughts, he was stunned at first, and then he was happy, he still knew Cook's strength, and it was absolutely no problem to play on the bench.

Personal ability is also there, the three-point shooting contest is a place that even the "god of basketball" can't conquer, but this guy has won the championship of the three-point shooting contest!

This is enough to prove that Cook's three-point shooting ability is above the standard.

As for the defensive end, defensive aggressiveness has always been Cook's label, but he is slightly embarrassed by the fact that most of those who are better than him are the main forces of other teams, and those who are a little less capable than him are cheaper than him, so that many times, he is not the first choice of the weak team, nor is he the first choice of the strong team, and has become a "spare tire in the spare tire".

Donnie Walsh can remember him thanks to the fact that he is Leewan's college teammate.

Soon, Cook also called Li Wan and said to him very excitedly: "Lee, Knicks management called me and wanted to make an appointment with me for a tryout, we are likely to play together in the new season!" ”

Li Wan nodded, slightly "surprised": "Really? That's great! ”

In fact, he knew, and even the trial was arranged by him for Donnie Walsh, only then Cook would not wonder if he had aroused Donnie Walsh's interest because of Li Wan.

Even if they do become teammates, it will be very stressful for Cook.

Lee Wan didn't want Cook to play in such a situation.

Arranging a tryout for him and letting him enter the Knicks on his own strength is the best arrangement!

July 12th.

The men's basketball Asian Cup is underway.

This series of events is about qualification for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Yao Ming also participated with the team.

In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team, as the gold medal of the last Olympic Games, should automatically get tickets this time, and it is okay not to participate. But for the sake of results, Lan Xian still asked Da Yao to lead the team and bring the championship back.

even asked Da Yao to call Li Wan to participate together.

Of course Li Wan refused, this kind of competition, which had obviously taken the ticket, could be used to train newcomers, but Lan Xian still chose to be elite for the so-called honor......

The existence of Da Yao, and Yi Jianlian, who is gradually entering his prime, as the main force, this Chinese men's basketball team is completely a dimensionality reduction blow in the Asian Cup, winning an average of 23 points per game, and entering the knockout stage with a winning record.

Then it was successfully squeezed into the top 4.

But in the semi-final match with Yin Lang, Da Yao had an accident...... After a basket scramble for a rebound, Da Yao suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his calf in pain.

In the end, he left the scene with the help of his teammates, and did not return to the field until the end of the game.

So much so that although the Chinese men's basketball team had the last laugh in this game, domestic fans couldn't laugh at all. Li Wan knew about Da Yao's injury for the first time, just like the original him:

Stress fractures.

To put it bluntly, overwork becomes a disease.

In fact, the Knicks' team doctor also informed D'Antoni of this hidden danger in several examinations, so in the season that just ended, D'Antoni's use of Da Yao can be said to be careful and careful.

The average playing time in the regular season is only 25.4 minutes per game, and in the playoffs, this playing time is almost maintained, and the playing time of Shaq O'Neal was increased in the finals to ensure that Da Yao has enough rest.

To ensure that Da Yao can still play the second season of the contract!

They did a good job, Da Yao finished the season with a healthy body, but the result was ......

Injured in the international arena!

Recovery from this injury takes time, as little as a year, that is......

Da Yao will definitely not be able to play in the new season!

When Li Wan learned the news, his first reaction was a little surprised, he was used to a healthy Da Yao. But thinking about what Da Yao has borne and his sense of responsibility for the Chinese men's basketball team, I feel that this is Da Yao's ultimate fate!

Of course, Li Wan will feel a little irony:

After all, the New York Knicks have been paying attention to letting him rest in order to keep him as healthy as possible and play longer.

The one who paid did it.

Didn't pay, but didn't do it......

Sure enough, free things are generally not cherished when you get them.

Donnie Walsh soon called Li Wan as well: "Man, I heard, next ...... What are we going to do? His tone was impatient.

"I'll talk to Da Yao first, you can find the fifth position here......"

Regardless of the outcome of this conversation, it is already certain that Da Yao will not be able to play in the new season. Shaq left, Da Yao was reimbursed for the season, and the New York Knicks' most powerful No. 5 position suddenly became weak. If there are no reinforcements, Kwame Brown alone will definitely not be able to support the Knicks interior line in the new season.

Don't forget, on the fourth slot......

It's Lewis!
