Chapter 223: The Tide of Trading
In China, a professional orthopedic hospital.
The kind of ...... that cooperates with Germany
VIP ward.
Da Yao sat in a special wheelchair and looked at the injury report in front of him. On the reception sofa next to him, sat Zhang Mingji, who brought this injury report.
It reads the doctor's advice.
The words "recommended retirement" are unusually eye-catching and dazzling......
Da Yao was silent for a long time.
The phone rang at this time, pick it up and take a look, the caller's name:
Li Wan.
Da Yao picked up the phone with a little apology on his face: "Li Wan, you know everything?" Well, there's nothing wrong with anything else, I'm waiting for the doctor to see what the doctor says, okay, then let's say it first, well, okay, okay! ”
The call was quick, and in less than a minute, the phone hung up.
Da Yao did not tell Dr. Li Wan about his advice.
It's a big deal, too big to tell anyone until he's thought it through!
Including Li Wan, a little brother who has a good relationship with him......
Zhang Mingji, who had been silent, looked at the depressed Da Yao and said, "Do you want to find other doctors anymore?" ”
Da Yao waved his hand and showed a helpless smile: "It's like that if you look at it again......"
In fact, he knows that since 07, he has been in a "high-risk state" that may be reimbursed for injuries at any time, and he is lucky to be able to survive until this summer.
He had been mentally prepared for a long time.
It's just that when this day really comes, Da Yao's heart will inevitably have some ups and downs.
This also made him even more fortunate that he came to the Knicks last summer and won the NBA championship this summer!
From a player point of view, he has had a fulfilling career......
Therefore, his eyes re-answered the doctor's advice, and his eyes were even more shaken when he looked at the "recommended retirement" written on it.
July 19th.
Da Yao was injured a day after the Asian Championships.
There is also a big stir in the free market......
The Pistons bought out the team's "meritorious veteran" Hamilton, and after "Roaring Heaven" Rashid Wallace, the "Pistons Five Tigers" left the team again.
The only thing left of the "Five Tigers" is the "Little Prince" Prince.
At the same time, there was also news of a buyout deal in Orlando, where newly appointed Magic general manager Rob Hennegan bought out the final year of "UFO" Vince Carter's contract.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the "after-effect" of the new collective bargaining agreement......
Under the new collective bargaining agreement, teams have the right to lay off players from a team, as long as the contract is signed after the collective bargaining agreement of '05.
This is actually the same as "the new king ascends the throne and amnesties the world".
With the sword of the previous dynasty, you can't kill the officials of this dynasty. But if you take the sword of this dynasty, you can behead the officials of the previous dynasty!
You have to give the team a chance to clean up the "junk contract", right?
But neither of them is short of a home.
As soon as the buyout news came out, Chicago media announced: The Bulls signed "Mask Man" Hamilton for 10 million in two years. This was later confirmed by Hamilton.
Knowing that Hamilton was coming, Rose was so excited that "Rose" bluntly said: "With him, our assist stats will skyrocket this year, and I can't wait to see the new season begin." ”
In addition, the next home chasing Vince Carter was also quickly exposed by ESPN media.
Among them came a name that delighted New York fans:
New York Knicks!
Donnie Walsh has his eye on "demigods......
"Dude, I'm afraid I'm going to have to get you out of the way?"
The opponent is too hard, and many teams, including the Mavericks, want to get Vince Carter. Donnie Walsh can only come up with a "killer feature" and come up with "negotiator" Li Wan.
Using the "seven-person social circle" rule, Li Wan got his hands on Vince Carter's phone and sent him a simple text message.
- Man, I'm waiting for you in New York!
- What else is there to say!
This sentence was a reply from Vince Carter, and he also posted it on his personal Twitter feed.
As a result, Donnie Walsh, who is the president of the Knicks, was the last to know that his "goddess" agreed to his pursuit.
Seashell......
Li Wan, forever dripping gods!
NBA officials also quickly confirmed the deal, 2 years 10 million, Vince Carter to join the defending champion New York Knicks.
Seeing the head of their own team, New York fans showed silly smiles one by one, they have been fans of this team for so many years, but I didn't expect the dream to come true, that's right, we are the "defending champion" New York Knicks!
This is undoubtedly a "tranquilizer".
With Da Yao injured and the future unknown, the arrival of Vince Carter made these fans look forward to the next "remedy" operation in New York.
On July 20, Li Wan finished the first round of special training and met with Taylor in Los Angeles. Spike-Lee's side has been waiting for the start of work for a long time, and the big movie of the same name by Li Wan has officially started filming.
The whole shooting time was about 2 months.
From Los Angeles to Orlando to New York.
Thinking that he will spend the next 60 days with Li Wan day and night, Taylor is already looking forward to it......
Donnie Walsh continues to show a presence in the free market.
first signed Li Wan's good brother Cook.
The deal caused quite a stir. Mainly from Ohio, many fans shouted "Ye Qing Hui". Conley and Auden also called the two of them at the first time, and there was a little envy in their tones.
Even now, they are still the best brothers.
So when they saw Cook partnering with Li Wan, they were very envious. They really want to play with their good brothers!
Well......
Mainly nostalgic for my college days......
It's not to rub the championship~
Then, Odom, who had called Li Wan a long time ago, officially reached a buyout agreement with the Jazz and joined New York at a price of 15 million for 3 years.
In this way, the New York Knicks' outside line has been put together:
"No. 1: Leewan, Beverley, Nate Robinson;
No. 2: Ray Allen, Daquain Cook;
No. 3: Artest, Vince Carter, Odom; ”
Among them, Odom can also play the number four position......
Compared to the outside line of the Knicks last season, it is definitely a level higher.
In fact, it can also be seen that Donnie Walsh has a very good idea of building a team, and he knows very well that the No. 5 position like Da Yao is no longer possible in this league.
Since the attack power of the inside line can't return to last season, let's let the combat power of the outside line increase a huge amount!
Perhaps feeling that the outside defense wasn't enough to see, he brought the Mavericks' defensive stalwart DeSean Stevenson into the team. 9 million in 3 years, the price is not high, but the victory is long, Stevenson is now 30 years old, and the picture is a stable. Most of the others are 1 or 2 years......
It can only be said that in the years of working with "Big Bird" Bird, Donnie Walsh has really learned.
In fact, Donnie Walsh did a very good job in New York during this time period, robbing Smalls and bringing the Knicks back to the playoffs, but he didn't understand the essence of Anthony in the follow-up, just thinking about "giants", and as a result, the team played badly again......
This time, he hugged Li Wan's "thighs" and built the team completely with Li Wan as the core, and his smart little head occupied the high ground again.
On July 24, there was a huge shock from China.
"Chinese men's basketball captain" Yao Ming attended the press conference for the first time after being injured in the Asian Championships and announced in person: "It's a pity, but the time has come, I will end my career and officially retire ......"
As soon as these words came out, all the reporters sitting in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they came back to their senses and began to record. Yao Ming's team showed the injury report on the spot, and it was at this time that the reporters learned that Da Yao's injury had reached this level.
Da Yao then reviewed his career, said excitedly, and cried several times, most of the people at the scene watched Da Yao bow his head and wipe his tears with a napkin, and his eyes were red together.
The news quickly spread across the country......
All kinds of reviews of Da Yao's career have also brought the older generation of fans back to the era when the "golden generation" of the Chinese men's basketball team began to rise.
Looking at the classic picture left by Yao Ming in the NBA on the international stage, until he finally won the gold medal in the 08 Olympic Games, he raised his arms and yelled, and thousands of words finally converged into one sentence:
Da Yao, you have worked hard!
You did it too!
The first gold medal in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 08 Olympic Games is enough to explain everything!
At the same time, Li Wan has become the object of heated discussion among domestic fans.
In recent years, Li Wan has repeatedly missed the international competitions of the Chinese men's basketball team, which has caused more and more dissatisfied voices, and now Da Yao is retiring due to injury, and some irrational "Li Hei" directly attributed the mistake to Li Wan:
"If it weren't for him repeatedly shirking and not participating in international competitions, would Da Yao be so tired? If he can take on the responsibility of the Chinese men's basketball team, Da Yao will retire so early after taking a break in the past few years? ”
The "Wan Jiajun" scoffed at this:
"Li Wan participated, can Da Yao not participate? You can't even say such a thing if you have a brain! ”
"I used Da Yao to waste, and now I'm ready to start using Li Wan?"
"No matter what you say, if it wasn't for Li Wan in 08, the Chinese men's basketball team wouldn't be able to win the gold medal!"
"A sense of responsibility is not the same as being morally kidnapped!"
"You know Da Yao is so tired, why don't you go up? Oh, you can't get on! ”
"I don't have that ability, but I can compare, two words: invincible!"
……
Li Wan also knew some of the opinions of domestic fans about him. Facing reporters' questions, he said: "Da Yao's retirement surprised everyone, including me. But that's where all basketball players be, and Da Yao has had a great career, and he's lucky to have done everything he wants to do. So bless him......"
As for the controversial remarks of domestic fans, Li Wan just smiled: "I believe that the guys who criticize me now, and the people who praised me at the time, are a group of people, the Olympic gold medal in 08 will never fade, as a basketball lover, I am worthy of anyone!" ”
Li Wan has not registered as a basketball player in Blue Slope until now.
"If one gold medal is not enough, then no number of gold medals will be enough...... But I want to ask, after Da Yao, there is Li Wan, and after Li Wan, who is there? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, after '07, there will be no Chinese players in the NBA, right?"
"The rise of the Chinese men's basketball team has never been a matter of one person or two people, from my point of view, I hope to give more young players the opportunity to compete in international competitions, and one place is also a ......."
"If you suffer me again, I will bear the infamy, I only hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can have a real dynasty prosperity!"
Domestic reporters looked at each other, what Li Wan meant by this......
Don't play international competitions anymore?
What about next year's London Olympics?
Li Wan's words once again caused a monstrous wave in China.
Some of the "Li Hei" remarks were even more radical, but fortunately, the "10,000 Army" had a huge base, and the tens of millions of "little blacks" were shattered as soon as they rushed away. Li Wan's final response was to change his Weibo profile picture to the Olympic men's basketball gold medal in 08.
Lan Xian and Lan Guan's people are a little panicked.
Can't I stop scolding?
You bastards!
Da Yao retired, and now the only one they can count on is Li Wan.
If Li Wan is really forced out of the national team, then he will take his head to play in the 2012 London Olympics?
But right now, Li Wan has been scolded, and there is a meaning of "never playing in international competitions", which makes the high-level leaders of both sides very passive.
Li Wan's situation was similar to Wang Zhizhi at that time, but he definitely couldn't be treated the same!
Wang Zhizhi doesn't have a fart, just accuse him casually, but Li Wan is different, he is the hero of the Chinese men's basketball team winning the Olympic gold medal in 08, this point, no matter how unpleasant Li Wan is, must admit it.
When the Chinese men's basketball team was at its most brilliant, it was he who carried it up......
Such a hero continues to bear the infamy, is it Li Wan who scolds?
Isn't this a scolding of the people above them?
Continuing to scold like this gave Li Wan a reason not to participate in international competitions.
have been scolded like this, and are you still working hard there?
What a cheap personality is this, what kind of thing can you do?
At this time, they really regretted that they did not control public opinion in time in the first two years, and let a group of people accuse Li Wan there, if they said at that time, "We can't let the hero shed blood and tears", would the result be very different now?
I am thinking about how to ease the current situation.
On the American side, Donnie Walsh knew that Da Yao announced his retirement, although he felt a pity, but he was indeed relieved, knowing that in the current Knicks lineup:
Li Wan 17.4 million;
Lewis 21.14 million;
Artest 6 million;
Kwame Brown 8 million;
Ray Allen 9.33 million;
Cook 2.5 million;
Vince Carter 5 million;
Odom 5 million;
……
Coupled with Nate Robinson's rookie contract base salary or something, the salary space has reached 79 million. If Da Yao doesn't retire, with his 18.6 million this year, the Knicks' salary will reach 97.6 million!
Note that this is without the calculation of luxury tax......
If the luxury tax is included, it is at least more than 140 million!
In such a situation, it cannot be said that it is difficult to continue to strengthen, it can only be said that it is particularly difficult!
Now that Da Yao has announced his retirement, he has saved 18.6 million salary space.
In the case of Da Yao's season reimbursement, this is really the best result.
Donnie Walsh didn't hesitate, and immediately took out a 4-year 56 million contract at the first time to sign Tyson Chandler, whose contract expires this summer!
In this way, the New York Knicks' interior line has:
"Four: Lewis, Turiaf;
No. 5: Tyson Chandler, Kwame Brown; ”
Plus Odom, who can play four......
As well as the fully upgraded outside line, the impact of Da Yao's retirement has been reduced to the greatest extent. Of course, even with such a lineup, the Knicks still can't guarantee that they will be able to defend the title.
In the final analysis, Da Yao's retirement has made the Knicks less of the "heavy offensive weapon" of positional warfare - strong offense under the basket......
Look at the strong enemies that surround you outside......
The Heat team with the "Peak Three".
The Nets with the "Young Big Four".
Lakers with the strongest guard line......
And that's what you can see at the moment, there's still so much time left in the off-season, and the devil knows what else will happen in the free trading market!
Before the official announcement of the deal to sign Tyson Chandler, Li Wan already knew that the "King of Fighters" would come, which was a trade that the original Knicks made this summer.
Cuban's generosity is only for Dirk Nowitzki, in the original 2011, basically all the team credits that expired were cleaned up by him, and this time although he won the championship a year earlier, he still chose to dismantle the team this year.
His original intention was to take advantage of Nowitzki's little bit of peak to build a team capable of winning the championship, but he overestimated his ability to form a championship team.
In fact, even this championship lineup was completed in the Lost Lake.
In addition, who would have thought that in the future, the west would give birth to such a "super invincible cosmic brave"?
The Warriors' four-year triple crown made too many veterans who were still angry with a breath just a little unwilling, but they had no choice but to "enjoy" their "old age".
As soon as Li Wan knew that Tyson Chandler was coming, he called the latter and welcomed him to the New York Knicks.
He's happy with Donnie Walsh's deal.
Again, after Da Yao, there is no strong "traditional center" in this league, and his good brother Greg Oden can barely hold the ball under the basket.
But under-the-basket offense isn't his regular weapon either. Moreover, it is impossible to snatch him from the Trail Blazers, but as soon as this summer arrives, the Trail Blazers management immediately sends a contract with the highest salary!
Paul Allen is not a bad money boss, and he wants to be crazy about the championship, and he is ruthless when he throws money at it!
Since you can't find a No. 5 position to replace Yao Ming, let's be pragmatic and choose a No. 5 position with stronger frame protection and rebounding ability, which is also an excellent choice.
Tyson Chandler fits that perfectly.
And his athleticism is also extremely suitable for running and shooting.
In the "defensive counter-attack" system that the Mavericks rely on to win championships, his ease is proof of that.
It's just that the outside world is not optimistic about this deal.
One is to underestimate Tyson Chandler; Second, Tyson Chandler himself is also a brittle bone, he entered the league in 01 and has not played a full 82 games in a season until now, especially after the injury in the 08~09 season, he can't even guarantee the frequency of 70 games in a single season......
This past injury history actually shows that Donnie Walsh has an element of gambling.
He bet that there was no "bomb" in Tyson Chandler's body!
In fact, he did win the bet, although there were many minor problems, but in the next three seasons in New York, he averaged 60 games per game in each season without any problems.
In addition, the New York Knicks coaching staff already has a lot of experience in taking care of Da Yao, and they will definitely be able to be careful and careful in the use of Tyson Chandler!
In short, Li Wan can give this deal a 9 points!
It's a pity that he has an "eye in the sky", but the outside media doesn't, so they label Donnie Walsh's operation as a "sick and rushed to the doctor".
In the next few days, the Knicks, who had basically completed their recruitment, temporarily withdrew from the free trade market.
The other teams were not idle.
The Nets made their first trade of the summer and acquired JJ Redick from the Jazz, so that the Nets have a roster of Chris Paul at No. 1, JJ Redick at No. 2, Paul Pierce at No. 3, Kevin Garnett at No. 4, and Lopez at No. 5......
The only starting shortcoming was filled, and ESPN Media gave Billy King's operation a B+ rating on this deal alone!
Then the Heat got Shaun Battier, a former teammate of Big Yao, and "Batman" came to Miami, and this deal once again surprised Miami fans, who really didn't expect that in this situation, Pat Lyley could still complete such a wonderful operation.
Originally, based on the current situation of the Heat, Sean Battier should be the man they can't get!
It can only be said that the "God Operator" is worthy of the "God Operator", it is a cow pen!
There are obvious additions to the two championship-caliber teams in the East, plus the Bulls who previously acquired Hamilton...... Before the start of the new season, the media has already referred to the East as the "East of Death".
The New York Knicks' title defense possibility, in their opinion......
Lowered again!
It's not that Donnie Walsh's operation doesn't have a sense of presence.
Vince Carter, Odom, Tyson Chandler...... This is a very wonderful operation, but the impact of Da Yao's loss cannot be eliminated, which means that the strength of this team cannot reach the invincibility of last season.
You regress, others improve.
If you want to "win two consecutive championships", it will naturally be more difficult!
However, the real earthquake was at the end of July.
Shocking ...... from Los Angeles
But the protagonist is not the Lakers, but the city's "second-in-a-million" Clippers!
"Baylor" sent Eric Gordonga "No Pass" plus Aminuga a draft pick, and Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets......
In this way, the Clippers also have: No. 1 Billups, No. 2 Randy Foye, No. 3 Carmelo Anthony, No. 4 Griffin, and No. 5 Jordan Jr. A luxurious starting lineup!
Coupled with the "Forever Spurs", the Lakers and the Thunder team with the further growth of the "Thunder Three Less", the muddy waters in the West are even more muddy......
The name "Dead West" was also shouted at this time.
At the same time, the New York Knicks' championship win rate has dropped again and again, and even Kenny Smith bluntly said: "This is the most difficult defense of the title in NBA history!" ”
Li Wan listened to his evaluation and inexplicably thought of "one crown super Jordan......
Although, however, the difficulty is indeed 100 million points!
The main Knicks, although luxurious, are very different from last season's luxury.
Let's talk about these reinforcements!
Although Tyson Chandler won the "Defensive Player of the Season Award" for 12 years, this is a compensatory award, it seems that it was given to Chandler in the 11~12 season, but in fact it was given to Chandler in the 10~11 season, but at that time, in order to make Howard the first person in history to become the first person in history to win the "Defensive Player of the Season Award" three times in a row, Chandler had to be sacrificed.
In terms of the team's defensive improvement that season, Chandler surpassed Howard.
After coming to the New York Knicks, although he is still one of the best interior defenders, he really lacks the defensive ability of the "Defensive Player of the Season" level.
Vince Carter also began in the 11~12 season, the average points per game fell below 15 points for the first time, originally in the Mavericks this season, the average points per game was only 10.6 points, of course, there are factors affecting the system, but in the rest of his long career, the highest average score per game season is only 13.6 points per game.
It can be said that the beginning of the 11~12 season was a watershed moment for Vince Carter's state......
However, the original 11~12 season was a "shrinking season", and the long summer of 11 years made many people stand at a fork in the road in their careers.
Other Reinforcements......
It is impossible to expect Odom and Cook to become "big dark horses".
Not to mention, there are already several people in the New York Knicks who are about to decline, such as Artest, and Ray Allen, who is a year older......
These are unavoidable.
The Knicks are still very strong, but they really don't have the super first-class strength of "being the first in the world" last season!
But fortunately, Li Wan still has one of the biggest hole cards in his hand:
Himself!
With the upgrade of the template next season, he will inevitably be able to reach a "new" height of personal ability!
So......
Basketball, play to the end, you still have to hang up!
Otherwise, even in the new copy of the alliance, the "Child of Destiny" will not be able to penetrate it......
Huh?
From this point of view, entering the finals for 8 consecutive times and winning 5 runners-up can indeed be called an era!
Since we can't create God, let's lower God's specifications even further!
I can't admit that the height of the "God of Basketball" is difficult to reach even if it is a "child of destiny", right?
At the beginning of August, the Lakers, who had not moved, finally had an operation.
Kupchak, who picked and searched, first signed a contract with Yi Jianlian for 3 years and 5 million. When the domestic media reported on this matter, the headline was as outrageous as ever:
It was revealed that the United Arab Emirates signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the 3-year contract joined hands with Kobe Bryant to win the championship!
Even Yi Jianlian himself laughed angrily when he saw the news:
Do you eat oil cakes?
The following year, 3 million brought Nick Young from the Wizards to the Lakers.
Jeremy Lin, who cut the Warriors, was signed with a base salary of 700,000......
When Li Wan saw these two news, he couldn't help but send a message to Kobe:
Hee-hee!
It's no wonder he would do that.
I really thought of the picture of Kobe Bryant when he was on the same stage with these two people next, and I couldn't help but want to ......
Kobe: Nick, give me the ball!
Nick Young: I don't give it!
Kobe: Lin, give me the ball!
Jeremy Lin: Stand there, don't move!
Hahahahaha!
Kupchak is really amazing, and in one summer, he got such a pair of "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks" for Kobe......
It's just that poor Kobe didn't know what he was going to face, and in the face of Li Wan's inexplicable text message, he also asked Li Wan: "Do you want to eat oil cakes?" ”
Li Wan nodded: "I eat, I eat!" ”
The filming of the film went very smoothly and the progress was very fast, and the progress that was originally expected to be completed in a month and a half was completed in just one month, and at the current rate, I am afraid that the rest of the content will be filmed at the end of September.
This situation made Li Wan breathe a sigh of relief.
Da Yao's unexpected injury made him have to return to New York as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.
When Taylor Swift played opposite Li Wan for the first time, she was worried that she would not act well, afraid that she would be too shy to show her little woman side in front of the camera.
As a result, after the first scene was filmed, Spike Lee asked her to restrain a little, and the performance was good enough.
Taylor is obviously addicted to filming.
She felt that "Li Wan" could have another adult version, so she added drama without authorization, and acted in some plots with Li Wan in her own home that only the two of them could see.
Later, after the release of "Li Wan", Taylor also specially edited these scenes together and gave this adult version to Li Wan as a birthday gift.
At the end of August, the filming of "Li Wan" was successfully completed.
Li Wan and Taylor invited the crew to a casual meal, and on September 2, they hurried back to New York. This time he didn't party, but sent a text message directly to all the New York Knicks players:
Guys, gather at Madison Square Garden on September 6th at 9 a.m., there are so many strong opponents in the new season, we have to start training early!
Yes!
Li Wan chose to blow the "rallying call" in advance this time, and showed his mentality for the new season with practical actions:
Defend the title, I'm bound to win!
Donnie Walsh knows about this.
He also agreed with Li Wan's approach.
With the enemy in the moment, Lee must make the rest of the Knicks feel a sense of urgency.
Meantime......
He also secretly observes and kicks out those players who don't agree with Li Wan!
In terms of hard power, there is no longer a significant gap with other teams in the league, so in terms of fighting spirit, it must be full!
- I've been waiting for a long time, brother!
- Hahahaha, okok, guaranteed to be on time!
- Lee, have you finished making the film? So fast, huh? Is it September 6th? I know!
……
Everyone in the Knicks team replied to text messages one after another, and it can be seen from the attitude of these people that they are absolutely obedient to Li Wan.
Even the new players said "OK" at the first time.
This has to be said again, Li Wan's heroic performance in the "collective bargaining agreement" has brought good impression to these players. Ewing really took a step for him and gained a huge "dangerous move"!
Of course, if such a situation can not occur again, it is better not to happen again......
Although he told these guys that the training camp would start early on September 6, after Li Wan returned to New York, he immediately devoted himself to special training. During the filming of the movie, he also ensured 3~4 hours of training every day, and his personal improvement did not fall behind, and the progress was obvious, and many shortcomings have been greatly improved.
But the difficulty of the new season's dungeon is hellish, and all Li Wan can do is to improve himself as much as possible.
Taylor, who has been busy since January of the New Year, finally had a rare break after filming the movie, plus he has been sticking with Li Wan during the filming period, and he has a "love brain" attack, and continues to follow Li Wan in and out, and acts as a "full-time nanny" for Li Wan. Of course, it is not in vain...... During the day, she followed Li Wan in and out, and at night, Li Wan was on her, in and out.
The days of shamelessness passed quickly, and September 6 arrived.
The appointment was made at 9 a.m., and by the time Lee Wan arrived at 8 a.m., Beverley was already in full swing at the training ground.
This summer, he obviously trained hard, and the muscle lines on his body became more obvious, and at the same time, Li Wan looked at the side for a while and found that this guy's three-point accuracy had also improved.
And perhaps the biggest change is......
The hairstyle is even wilder, and just like this, it can be expected that as soon as you play hard, you will immediately be like a "mad dog" with "rabies". It seems that Beverly himself is quite satisfied with the nickname "Mad Dog"!
Li Wan saw Beverley's changes, and Beverley also saw Li Wan's changes:
It's thicker, stronger, and bigger!
Seemingly......
It's even longer!
In short, it's a static talent explosion!
At this size, it is estimated that it will be more explosive to move......
It seems that Li Wan has not practiced much this summer!
This is somewhat discouraging:
People who are more talented than you, and work harder than you, this is still playing with a hammer!
Beverley, who was quite confident in the new season, suddenly felt bottomless...... He's improving, and so are others. Doesn't that mean he hasn't made progress?
It's his contract year and he's looking forward to playing even better!
At present, Li Wan's change gave him a slap in the face.
But soon, he found out that not everyone was Li Wan.
For example, Odom and Artest who came in later......
You can see at a glance the fat body shape of these two people, and all the time spent in summer is chic!
Li Wan was not surprised by the situation of the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks", he chose to open the closed training camp in advance to prevent them from such a situation.
With his supervision, at the very least, he can make sure that the guys will be back in shape before their rookie season begins.
"Man, I've got Kohler ready, have a party tonight, celebrate, we're teammates again!"
Odom's appearance made Li Wan a little speechless.
He felt like this guy had just finished drinking.
Artest was also a little speechless, but he was speechless about Odom's mention of Kohler...... The "Moon Old" that Odom and Khloe Kardashian are on the line is none other than Artest.
It's just that what Artest wanted at that time was to let Odom play casually.
As a result, I didn't expect that these two people "did a fake show" and got a certificate!
This Nima ......
Artest was in pain, and he felt like he had pushed the fire for his good brother. No, every time Odom mentions Khloe Kardashian, he has a-eating expression.
Li Wan nodded happily: "Yes!" ”
These two goods ran one after the other to warm up.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Li Wan couldn't help but be a little worried about the state of the others.
Fortunately, he soon realized that he was a little too worried......
Whether it's the likes of Kwame Brown or Tyson Chandler, they're in really good form.
Not to mention Vince Carter and Ray Allen, the former has played 21 seasons in the league, and the latter is a well-known "self-disciplined man" in the league, looking at their state, it seems that the season is underway.
His good brother Cook also gave him peace of mind.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Wan could see what he wanted to say from his face:
Good brother, let's do a big job in the new season!
He is ready to fight alongside Li Wan again!
When the person was almost there, another familiar figure of Li Wan entered the door. Before Li Wan could catch up, this guy opened his voice: "Hahahaha, Li, I really didn't expect that we could become teammates!" ”
The person who came was "kind and kind-eyed", with a bold face, and he looked like a hot-blooded man......
It's none other than Li Wan's first "stepping stone" back then-"Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rashid Hualaishi!
This is another Donnie Walsh stroke at the end of August.
The base salary of 750,000 knives brought the former "All-Star Forward" to the Knicks.
Of course, this is also a leak.
Hua Laishi, who was born in 74, is 37 years old this year and will be 38 years old next summer, which is no longer the age of a veteran, this is completely an old man at the level of "living fossils......
The original Rashid Wallace retired last year.
However, this time in the Bulls "old with new", played an extra season, until this summer his contract expired, I heard that the Bulls management did not plan to renew his contract, so he was ready to announce his retirement, but I didn't expect Donnie Walsh to contact him at this time:
Dear, do you want to be teammates with Li Wan?
This proposal has to be said, very tempting!
Rashid Wallace agreed, and at the same time promised that he would definitely assist Li Wan well, and bring a message to Li Wan for me: The previous things were all misunderstandings, he is my most optimistic newcomer to the alliance, the future, no! Now, it's already his!
Donnie Walsh was pleased with his attitude and relayed his words to Lee......
Li Wan......
Agreed!
The current situation of the Knicks is naturally that the more helpers, the better!
Although Rashid Wallace fell from his peak, Li Wan remembered that this guy retired for a year, and when he came back in the 12~13 season, he could still contribute an average of 7 plus 4 per game.
Now he has no "gap" in retirement, and his form is definitely better than the original period. Maybe in a certain game, he will become the X-factor!
Don't forget, this guy has championship blood in his body!
At this moment, Li Wan looked at the energetic Hua Laishi and was even more sure that this guy was likely to bring him unexpected surprises at some point in the new season.
It was almost 9 o'clock when Lewis arrived at the arena.
The Knicks have a full lineup for the new season.
"Mr. 100 million yuan" was a little confused, he was 10 minutes earlier than expected......
As a result, he was the last one to arrive!
These people......
Do you want to be so positive??
But in the next second, he suddenly reacted, this is Li Wan's game.
I'm Gan!
Careless!
Lewis felt the need to explain to Li Wan, lest Li Wan think that he had an opinion about early training, so he was the last to arrive.
Therefore, before the training officially began, he walked up to Li Wan and said solemnly:
"Li Wan, have you ever had a dog?"
Li Wan: "??? ”
Ha?
"No, I mean, I'm more loyal to you than a dog, no, more than a dog, it's not right...... Lee, I'm your dog! ”
Li Wan: ......
Lewis:......
