Chapter 217: Naturalization
Li Kaiming, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian's three outstanding performances immediately became a hot topic of discussion among Chinese fans after the game.
Especially the progress shown by the latter two people on the field made Huaguo fans begin to feel that maybe a corner of peace is not a good choice, and seizing the opportunity to go to a higher platform to exercise, there will be a visible improvement.
At the post-game press conference, Wizards head coach Sanders also praised Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian in front of many reporters, the Wizards' current lineup is obviously lacking, especially on the outside, if Sun Yue can seize the opportunity, at least he can have stable playing time in Sanders' system.
As for Yi Jianlian, it is even more special, he is the only player in the Wizards team other than Li Kaiming who can get out of the restricted area, Sanders has experienced a few games of the five-out lineup, and sensitively feels the advanced nature of this tactical system, so he has begun to gradually increase Yi Jianlian's role in training, and he already wants to carry forward this tactic in the Wizards.
Compared with the Wizards' post-game press conference, the media paid more attention to the post-game summary of the Knicks playing at home.
After the game, Stoudemire left the game without signaling to the Wizards, and it seemed that he was very uncomfortable with the loss of this game.
But fortunately, Si appeared at the post-match press conference, which did not make the reporters pounce.
The first to be interviewed was Knicks head coach D'Antoni, in the face of reporters' questions, D'Antoni smiled bitterly and sighed, "I've never seen a team that put up a five-man all-three-point lineup on the court, and then beat us with three-pointers." Even the Phoenix Suns, who played the run-and-bomb tactics at the beginning, I have never used such a heart-wrenching tactic, Sanders is really crazy! ”
The reporter asked again, "Then what do you think of the Wizards' top pick, Li Kaiming?" ”
D'Antoni's words are still more sincere, the other side has beaten his own house to garbage time, and it makes no sense to belittle the other side, "This guy is really a talent, I can't imagine what he can achieve in the future, maybe emptiness is his limit." ”
After that, the reporter interviewed Stoudemire, who has not recovered until now, and this offseason, he didn't come to the Knicks to brush the data, he has long passed the age of brushing data, and now he wants a championship more.
But after this game, the Knicks' current record is a measly 2-3 and on the verge of the playoffs, which is completely different from what he thought when he first came to the Knicks.
After a few perfunctory answers, the post-match press conference ended.
The Wizards, after finishing their post-game interviews, packed their bags and headed home, and the next night, the Wizards will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the MCI Center at home, and they must rush back to the home court early to squeeze out a little rest in the busy schedule.
Huaguo, Huadu left
The contradiction between Han Yinzhi and Liang Zhen has been brought to the table, and the Chinese basketball world immediately fell into turmoil, and more and more people were involved in this turmoil.
Naturalizing a foreign player for the national team is not something that a certain person can do with a pat on the head, even if this person has enough rights, but the consequences of naturalization are not borne by the person who makes the decision alone, but by the upper echelons of the Sports Bureau and the Basketball Association.
So even if Liang Zhen is the current director and is logically the most powerful person, he has no way to make a statement in this matter, and he has no idea of doing a word.
So, naturally, a meeting to discuss whether to naturalize Li Kaiming was held in a confidential conference room in Huadu.
At the meeting, the main representatives of the two sides were the naturalization faction led by Liang Zhen and the refusal to naturalize faction led by Liu Li, chairman of the Basketball Association.
Of course, Liu Li is just the spokesperson pushed by Han Yinzhi, and everyone in the audience knows that the biggest backer of the opposition is Han Yinzhi, as long as he can convince the latter, this matter will become as smooth as using Kassel for constipation.
Han Yinzhi naturally sat upright in the conference room, and in the huge conference room, dozens of people were clearly divided into two factions and sat down separately in front of an oval conference table.
There are relatively few people on Han Yinzhi's side, but the old man still holds his head high, and he can't see that he is weak at all.
It was the fat man Liu Li, after arriving at the scene, he saw that there were only two-thirds of the people on the other side, and cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead.
Liang Zhen was in the center, smiled slightly, and announced the start of the meeting, and Han Yin took the lead when he came up.
"I don't think so, our Chinese basketball has never been short of talents, but our training system is not advanced enough, which is limited by the country's economic development, not that our system is backward, in the next few years, as long as our economic level keeps up, it is not a problem to cultivate a large number of NBA-level players at all, but to naturalize foreign players, similar to drinking to quench thirst, now that Chinese basketball is in decline, I immediately want to naturalize, why can't we start from improving our training system? Naturalizing a player will not make our basketball rise, but if we can't get good results, it will become a joke! ”
As soon as these words came out, there were loud voices, and even on the side that supported the naturalization of Li Kaiming, there were a lot of Ru odds, and it seemed that they were moved by Han Yinzhi's words.
On the opposition side, Liu Li saw that Old Man Han pressed the opposite side as soon as he came up, and his hanging heart immediately let go of a lot, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot, and also expressed his attitude.
"Han Lao is right, as the president of the Basketball Association, I think we should gradually improve our training system, instead of naturalizing ready-made, our country is not an immigrant country like Amerika, we still have to focus on our own training......
Liu Fatzi's best thing is to beat the water dogs, hearing Liu Li's speech, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming, who were sitting on the other side, sneered in their hearts.
In Director Liang's office, Chairman Liu was not like this.
But now is not the time for them to speak, although these two people have a relatively high status in the national team, but in this conference room, they can be regarded as the most shrimp, so it is not their turn to speak for the time being.
The speeches of the two giants from the opposition side suddenly fell silent in the entire conference room.
On the side of the naturalization faction, a group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can stand up and refute Han Yinzhi's views, or, no one dares to refute them.
Han Yinzhi's influence in the Chinese basketball world can be perfectly interpreted with a sentence of a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff.
Even if he is no longer in office, there are still many people who are a little afraid of him.
Seeing this, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming, who were sitting in the corner, glanced at each other, and they both saw anxiety in each other's eyes.
Both of them were staunch supporters of naturalization, and seeing that no one on their side dared to speak out, they were naturally a little impatient in their hearts.
Just when everyone thought that this meeting would become a classic battle for Han Yin to win more with less, a light cough came out of the middle of the conference table, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Han Yinzhi also followed the sound, and after seeing the voice of Rao's face, his face instantly became gloomy.
Are you going to go against me after all?
Liang Zhen saw that all Rao's attention was on him, and he smiled faintly, "Hehe, the words of Han Lao and Chairman Liu are very reasonable, and I also have a little opinion, I want to share it with you." ”
Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming, the two people in the corner, saw Liang Zhen finally stand up, their faces were red from excitement, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many big people here, they would probably jump up and high-five!
After Liang Zhen finished politely, he didn't wait for others to respond to him, but directly began to explain his point of view, which made Han Yinzhi, who was about to choke him, swallow the words in his mouth again, and his old face was red, but the hatred for Liang Zhen in his heart deepened again.
Liang Zhen looked around, swept all the faces, and then said, "Han is a good old man, our basketball training system is indeed backward, and there are many things that need to be improved, which is also the focus of our future work." But there is no conflict between improving our training system and naturalizing foreign players to improve the strength of the national team, so why do we have to put these two against each other? Can't I use naturalized players to improve my current strength, and then improve the training system at the same time to improve the strength of the national team in the future? In my eyes, these two options are not just a one-and-one option, but a clever way to work together to improve the strength of our national team. ”
After a pause, Liang Zhen continued, "Besides, we are not just naturalizing a foreign player, our target is only Li Kaiming, he is the player who best meets our requirements, completely Chinese, and the basketball level is enough, isn't this our best choice?" If there was no player like Li Kaiming, I would definitely not support naturalization! ”
This well-reasoned statement was put on the table, and the entire conference room fell silent.
The vast majority of people lowered their heads and thought, only Han Yin was alone, his face was a little ugly.
As soon as he came up, he directly raised the matter of naturalization to the height of the future of Chinese basketball, just to oppose the naturalization of Li Kaiming and the development of Chinese basketball.
Such an argument seems very plausible and very inflammatory, but a closer look reveals that Han Yinzhi's argument is simply untenable.
Liang Zhenjin came prepared, and he had already prepared a draft in his heart, and he could fight back against any point of view of Han Yinzhi.
Of course, Liang Zhen is not just targeting Han Yin, he is calling Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming over today, just to serve these people in terms of results.
After a heated debate, the tide gradually reversed......
At the end of the meeting, Han Yinzhi saw that the general trend had gone, but he still did not give up, "Liang Zhen, if you naturalize Li Kaiming and don't get the results you deserve, then how do you apologize?" ”
Liang Zhen smiled, "What do you always want?" ”
Han Yinzhi snorted coldly, "If you can't win a medal at the London Olympics, then you will take the blame and resign!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
With Yao Ming's current state, it is not certain whether he can play in the London Olympics, even if he is a half-blooded Yao Ming, the combination of the peak Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian has only reached the top eight position, and now Yao Ming's peak is not there, although Wang Zhizhi is old and strong, but there is no matching point guard in the Chinese line, in just two years, it is too late to cultivate another one, and it is difficult to lead such a Chinese team to win the championship!
Liang Zhen's position, most people can't climb in their lives, will he gamble his career for a Li Kaiming?
The entire conference room was depressed, and in most people's hearts, Liang Zhen might give up.
Han Yinzhi stared at Liang Zhen's face with a hearty smile on his face.
I don't believe that you, Liang Zhen, will give up your great future for a foreigner you have never met!
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Liang Zhen didn't hesitate for too long, and after thinking for a while, he smiled slightly, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Han Yinzhi's eyes widened......
How can it be?
