269: The West is still wild, and the sharks are starting to float
August 3, 1996, Atlanta Olympic Games men's basketball final.
The Chinese team lost to Mengsan 97-118 and unfortunately fell to the runner-up.
The Dream Three team has actually been underestimated all along, but in fact, they may be a powerful presence second only to Dream One.
In this team, there are both Barkley, Generals, Malone, Stockton, Pippen, Miller, Payton, Olajuwon and other superstars of the year.
There are also Hardaway, Sharks, Grant. Hill and other young talents.
It's not just the age group that's reasonable, but the role assignment is also quite reasonable. Someone defends, someone shoots, someone tackles.
It's simply impeccable!
It can only be said that Yumeichi is so dazzling that it overshadows the light of Yumesan.
How strong is Dream Three? Let's put it this way, the group of players of the Dream Three team can win thirty or forty points on the court at every turn while sweating in the Golden Club.
Except for the Chinese team, there is still no team in the world that can touch the heels of the dream team.
The 21-point difference in the final has been the fewest games won by the Dream Team at this year's Olympics.
It can only be said that the Chinese team has been at the forefront of the world, but there is no way that the family background of the dream team is really thick.
Of course, the Olympic runner-up is already a historic achievement for the Chinese team.
It has achieved a breakthrough of zero medals in the three men's balls at the Olympic Games.
In this year's Olympic Games, the Chinese team also has many outstanding players.
Shay is not to mention, averaging 30.2 points per game, the Olympic scoring champion.
Hu Weidong averaged 20.4 points per game, and also contributed the famous scene of flying dunk Stockton.
Jordan's knife-carrying guard Bus averaged 15 points and 9 rebounds per game, and after playing in the NCAA for so many years, the bus has long been reborn.
He has a more flexible body, a more solid foundation, and better defensive judgment.
While the bus doesn't have the illusion of growing into an All-Star, he's definitely good enough to be a qualified NBA rotation player.
In addition to the three players who played in Mi Li's house, the most talked-about thing about the Chinese team in this year's Olympics was the one-handed flying admiral who blocked Grant. Hill's dunk is a wind-chasing boy!
Let's not talk about the admiral's risk, after all, Mi Lijia fans are used to seeing the admiral beating.
Navy. Both FIBA and the NBA have been beaten. Admiral.
But Grant. Hill, as an Ameriken native supernova, was bloodied by a Chinese with a face full of pimples.
This caused an uproar at Ameriken.
In addition, this final roughly took 13 rebounds on the luxurious interior head of the Dream Three team, more than Battle!
96 Atlanta World War, Wang Zhizhi became completely famous!
The day after the game, Sports Illustrated used Wang Zhizhi as its cover for the first time.
It was accompanied by a photo of him in blood, and the caption read: "The sky in Asia is too small for Wang Zhizhi!" ”
Wang Zhizhi also immediately received invitations from six NCAA schools.
Among them, there are even prestigious schools like Duke and UCLA!
In the original history, everyone knows that for various reasons, Wang Zhizhi passed by these opportunities.
But now, thanks to the success of Shay, Daba and Lao Hu, the country is open to young players joining the NCAA.
That's it, it's almost certain that I'll play for Georgetown University next season!
Georgetown University, NCAA team of the Chinese team.
The old K of the Duke Blue Devils angrily scolded John. Thompson was despicable and shameless: "He can always use the convenience outside the rules to get Chinese players with super potential!" ”
UCLA coach Jim, who had just led the team to win the championship in '95. Harrick was also very angry: "John always recruits Chinese players through his father-son relationship with Shay, and the committee should investigate it strictly!" ”
John. Thompson:???
What paternity? Harrick, make it clear to Lao Tzu!
One sentence from AI made Thompson unable to raise his head in the first generation for the rest of his life
In fact, it is not for nothing that Shay recommends Chinese players to Georgetown University.
At schools like Duke and UCLA, there are too many talents, and coaches don't necessarily focus on developing you.
If you're only on the bench for a few years in the NCAA, you might as well go back home.
Secondly, it is precisely because of John. Thompson has a good personal relationship with Shay, and he will be more careful in cultivating Chinese players.
The others Shay didn't know, but John. Thompson, Shay is 100% sure that he really is a coach who doesn't look at skin color and other factors.
What kind of smoking gun who doesn't know his age, what wrestler, what kind of guard who is less than 1.8 meters tall in prison, what kind of big man who wrestled with an old heifer on the prairie when he was a child, John. Thompson took it all!
As long as you're really talented and willing to endure hardship, Thompson won't look at you with colored glasses.
Roughly, whether it is personality or life experience, among the many high-quality talents in Georgetown, it can be regarded as normal.
People are the second generation of baskets.
So, don't worry about Thompson not being able to cultivate!
It doesn't matter, it's not normal to transform and transform~
After the Olympics, Shay has another gain, that is, he has finally upgraded!
After a year, Shay has once again filled up the XP bar needed to level up.
This time with five consecutive draws, Shay was lucky, getting 10 skill points and a golden action pack.
10 skill points, Shay quickly decided to add 5 points each to back foot and block prediction, to 70 and 65, respectively.
At this point, Shay's back footsteps have reached an average level that can be used occasionally.
And that golden action pack is to make Shay's back-to-back offensive ability a step further.
"Action Pack: Old Snake Shake Armor (Gold).
Effect: Moderately improves the stability of the flip jumper after shaking the shoulders. ”
To put it bluntly, it's a Kobe Bryant's shoulder-shaking action package.
Shay finally didn't have to shoot against the defense every time he rolled over and made a jumper.
This is the end of the '96 Olympic journey, but Shay is still a little unwilling.
Even if he is already so strong, even the Chinese team is much stronger than the original history.
but
They have never been able to overturn the dream team, and they have never been able to become the number one in the world!
NBA championships were won, Jordan was won.
Why can't you be bold and dream of the Chinese team defeating the dream team?
Shay also talked to him, or to vigorously develop his own professional league and use more scientific and better training methods.
I also said that I received it:
"You are not talking to you about this, I am not saying that I will not do it. But he didn't say anything, we didn't talk about anything, and he didn't say no.
We can figure it out, we can figure it out. You're going to be a little late, a little later, we'll be then, right, we'll take a look at it anyway, right? ”
Shay:
There was no way, Shay could only raise his glass: "Comrades, don't be complacent, you still need to work hard!" ”
After the Olympics, Shay finally renewed his contract with the Lakers, still the same as last season, signing a one-year contract of 30 million with bird rights.
At this time last season, as soon as Shay's 30 million contract was exposed, it caused an uproar.
But this year, almost no one has said that Shay's contract is not worth it.
And Shay just renewed his contract, Jordan and the Bulls also took the risk of renewing their contracts, and the amount was very delicate - 30 million and 1 knife.
Eh, Jordan is just going to be more expensive than Shay!
It's expensive, it's expensive!
In 65, the contracts of the Lord of the Rings and Zhang Dashuai expired with their respective teams, and the 76ers opened a one-year contract of 100,000 yuan in order to keep Chamberlain. For the sake of Russell's face, the Celtics naturally offered an annual salary of 100,000.
But Russell actually rejected the contract, and put forward the condition: "I want 100,000 and 1 Dao Le." ”
In this way, Russell wanted to defend his position as the first man in the league.
In 79, the magician entered the league to sign Converse, and the requirements were also: "The endorsement fee is 1 knife more expensive than Bird." ”
Now, this childish tradition has passed on to Shay and Jordan's generation.
Sure enough, no matter how mature a man is, he is still a boy in some ways.
AC. GREENE: Not really!
Shay was also convinced, but he didn't expect Jordan to love to play such childish games.
Hmph, next time I'll sign a contract later than you!
With Shay renewing his contract with the Lakers, it is basically impossible for the Lakers to make any more moves this offseason.
But the other teams' reinforcement plans continue.
Payton renews contract with SuperSonics, Allan Murphy. Houston joined the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz are still looking for the second leading point after Malone.
Last season, it turned out that Strickland was not the answer they wanted, and the godfather of the team was abandoned.
Strickland's contract expires, and Stockton can renew his contract to make room for the Jazz.
As a result, the Jazz won Alan Houston, who averaged 19.7 points per game in the Pistons last season for 35 million in five years and was later known as the king of mid-range investment.
There is no doubt that the Jazz are targeting the Lakers to bolster them.
They don't want to be crushed to death in the West by the Lakers.
Shay, however, didn't feel that the Jazz were a threat.
Cal. Malone survived most of the opponents in the west, but unfortunately, he couldn't survive me!
In addition to jazz, the Sun of Flying Pigs also has action.
After losing last season, Suns management felt that the main reason was that the team's frame protection was too poor.
In the case that there are enough points of attack, they will be Eddie. Jones was traded to the Bullets in exchange for sophomore Rashid. Wallace.
Wallace had mediocre stats last season, but considering that he was able to play a decent defensive efficiency in less than 30 minutes per game, the Suns decided to play stud.
And the bullet team because there is already Zhu Wan. Howard, the inside lineman, has no intention of cultivating Wallace, so it is better to change to a potential outside player.
The two sides hit it off.
The Jazz and Suns, the two main opponents, have also completed reinforcements.
Shea believes the West will still be wild next season.
In this way, the winds and waves of the transfer market have basically passed.
After completing the contract extension, Shay wanted to relax.
After all, this offseason, Shay prepared for the Olympics as soon as the season ended, and then shot commercials while preparing.
There was no rest at all.
Shay has decided, first go to Connally to catch up, and then go to Italy to find Bellucci by the way, ah no, it's a trip to find Bellucci by the way! As a serious person, how could Shay think about those terrible things?
It's just a simple communication of feelings.
But after the Olympics, NBC TV's interview program with the members of Dream Three made Shay change his itinerary.
In the show, the Dream Three players who won the championship sat together and were interviewed by the host in a casual chat.
When O'Neill was asked how he felt about winning the Olympics for the first time because of Leitner, O'Neal was arrogant:
"It feels great, especially when we beat against China, I feel even better.
I know that over the years, many Chinese players have played brilliantly in the league.
Last season, Shay also won the NBA championship as a Chinese player.
But now look at who's the real hegemon in the basketball world? ”
The shark's provocative answer made Shay a little unhappy.
The Sharks went to a metropolis like New York this summer, got their own team, signed a big contract and won the Olympic title, which is called a high-spirited spirit.
So, a little bit floating.
But that's nothing, after all, the Dream Three team is the champion, which is an indisputable fact.
But soon, the shark continued to stimulate Shay:
"Shay's strongest in the NBA? No, no, no, next, the Alliance will enter the New York Shark Age!
I know how to get him, just like the Olympics did him, and the new season is good! ”
O'Neal provoked Shay by name, which made Shay angry.
Connery, don't look for it.
Italy, not going.
Call Glover and open up!
As soon as Lao Tzu became the king, you started to provoke me, this is not to give face.
However, what Shay never expected was that things escalated further the next day.
Shay didn't respond to O'Neal, and it was Rodman from a talk show who responded to O'Neal!
During the show, the host asked Hua Daworm a lot of questions about the Lakers. Including the beginning and end of his joining the Lakers, including his views on the Lakers and Shay, and so on.
Surprisingly, Rodman seems to be very convinced of Shay:
"I'm excited to be playing with the greatest player of our time, I feel like I'm back on winning track. At the very least, Shay wasn't a soft egg. ”
Admiral:
"The greatest player? Speaking of which, O'Neill said yesterday that Shay wasn't the best in the world, and he said he knew how to get Shay. ”
Rodman, who was wearing sunglasses, smiled disdainfully: "Who gets whom?" ”
"Shaq, say he can handle Shay." The moderator repeated.
Then, with a smile, Rodman replied:
"Shaq? Straighten your teeth first sweetheart, and then listen to your mother, OK?
Your Uncle Shay, he probably doesn't have time to pay attention to a kid of your level.
But if you have any questions, feel free to come to Dr. Dennis first! ”
As soon as Rodman's words came out, he instantly won the favor of countless Lakers fans.
They didn't expect that Rodman, a demon, would respect Shay so much.
And Rodman's words naturally made the shark who was in the limelight angry.
Shay ignores me, but now a garbage with an annual salary of 2.5 million dares to raise a bar with me?
Not to be outdone, O'Neill said: "I know that Dennis wants to show his loyalty to his new master. But alas, he messed with the wrong person! ”
Before the new season started, Shay and the Sharks, the Lakers and the Knicks, had already rubbed sparks.
Stern looked at Rodman and the shark in the air, and smiled slightly.
The schedule of the new season, isn't it very easy to arrange~
Sure enough, as long as Shay is here, the alliance will never be short of topics!
As for the sharks
Stern shook his head and could only wish him good luck.
Today's 10,000-word update is present! I don't know how many days of continuous 10,000-word updates, anyway, it's very conscientious! The conscience is old, and the weak kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
