Chapter 367: Men's Basketball World Cup, Preparing for a Comeback
"Doon, Kevin Durant, who just led the team to win the championship, said that he would beat you in the next men's basketball World Cup, what do you think about that?"
"What do I think? Naturally, I'm watching it at home, I'm retired! ”
In the past few days, Doon was going to accompany his girlfriend to the hospital to give birth.
However, a reporter came to the door to interview Doon, and Doon had no choice but to be interviewed according to his personal feelings.
For the next men's basketball World Cup, Doon actually doesn't have much thought.
I also hope that domestic fans will not have too much expectation.
The men's basketball World Cup, in fact, the real name is the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Because its predecessor was the World Championship (World Men's Basketball Championship), it is customary to call it the Men's Basketball World Cup.
is also because of the last World Championships, NBA big-name stars basically did not attend the World Championships.
Even Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Kirilenko, and other stars who played in the NBA and were well-known in FIBA did not pay attention to it and failed to attend as scheduled.
Therefore, in order to expand the influence, but also to attract the favor of sponsors and increase revenue.
FIBA had no choice but to turn the World Championship into a men's basketball World Cup, benchmarking the football World Cup.
This move also hopes that by changing the name and changing the competition system, there will be a new atmosphere.
As early as the beginning of 2012, FIBA announced that the next World Championship would be changed to the Men's Basketball World Cup.
And because the World Championships are held every four years, and the last World Championships in Turkey was held in 2010, the first Men's Basketball World Cup was not held in 2012, but was postponed to the next World Championships in Spain, which will be officially held in 2014.
Chinese people have always had the concept that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and they like to fight for the first place in everything.
Therefore, domestic fans attach great importance to the next year, which is also the first men's basketball World Cup in FIBA history.
Of course, the leaders of the basketball center also attach great importance to this, but they are also more aware of the current situation.
It can only be said that more than ten years ago, he was eager for quick success and did not pay attention to youth training, which laid the root cause, and now it has borne evil results - the basic skills of young players are too poor, their physical fitness is average, and they do not have the conditions and ability to compete in the NBA.
Obviously, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming's generation have smoothed the way, and Doon has opened up the road again, but no one dares to take the road in the future, and no one can follow the path of the NBA.
In the past few years, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and others have returned to China one after another, returned to the CBA to play with a group of stinky fish and shrimp, and their own level has also declined a lot.
Judging from the performance and results of basketball competitions in Asia, the men's basketball team is almost unable to keep the first place in Asia, let alone go to the international league to compete with European teams, and even the dream team.
At this time, everyone can only focus on the retired Doon.
Although Doon has been retired from the NBA for more than a year and doesn't usually train much, he is in the prime of life after all.
Normally, the 30-year-old NBA star is the league's popular fried chicken, the pillar.
Physically, technically, and with all the experience of the game, they are all at their peak.
Therefore, the leaders of the basketball management center also have the same idea as the fans, and if they want to produce results, they can only continue to find Duane to "gnaw at the old".
As early as a few months ago, when the men's basketball team selected the personnel for the men's basketball World Cup, the leaders of the basketball management center looked at the thatched house and invited Doon, who was on vacation, filming variety shows, and shooting advertisements, out of the mountain.
Doon was not easy to refuse, but because of personal matters, he slightly postponed the time for his personal participation in the training camp.
Whether or not the next generation can carry the responsibility of reviving the men's basketball team, Doon will eventually have to see him or her born.
And after giving birth, you have to accompany the child to sit in full confinement, after all, Doon is also a scumbag who doesn't care about killing and burying.
Because of this, Doon did not land on the men's basketball training list for the first time.
It is also for this reason that the domestic media will go to Doon's home to interview Doon and ask Doon whether Doon will participate in the next men's basketball World Cup.
Doon couldn't attend right now for personal reasons, so he didn't answer directly.
But when the time comes to settle down at home, I will definitely have to go.
It's time for Doon to get up and down, get back to training and get back to competing.
In fact, as early as the day the NBA regular season ended, Bulls general manager John Paxson called Doon and invited Doon to watch the team's playoff game.
Doon politely refused for family reasons, and after the Bulls lost the Eastern Conference Finals, Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf couldn't help but call Duane to say hello.
Although Doon has retired, his contract is not over.
Now that the offseason is here, Doon has fully announced his comeback and then jumped out of his contract.
Even if Doon is not ready to leave the Bulls and continues to choose to exercise the player option, there is only one year left on his contract with the Bulls.
A year later, Doon was a free agent.
When the time comes, it can even directly announce a comeback in the CBA, which is something that neither the Bulls management nor the NBA executives want to see.
Therefore, Bulls general manager John Paxson and Bulls owner Jerry Rainsdorf have been close to Doon in the last month or two, hoping that Doon can miss the old relationship and return to Chicago.
Once Doon returns to Chicago, then all the marketing will come at once.
Doon will make a comeback and renew his contract with the Bulls, and he will push the boat down the river and appear naturally.
Everyone is a smart person, and this kind of thing is in the interests of all parties, and Doon naturally will not refuse.
Doon retired and stayed at home, though he made no less money elsewhere than he did when he played in the NBA.
However, Doon can't afford not to be a bit hungry for the next NBA max contract, as well as the lifetime contract offered by Nike.
Back in the summer of his four-game winning streak, Doon negotiated a lifetime contract with Nike.
It's just that the contract amount has not been negotiated at the beginning, because the depreciation of the dollar is not serious, and Nike was only willing to give a lifetime contract of 400 million US dollars at that time.
So Doon chose to renew the short contract of 120 million for 5 years.
Originally, Doon's plan was to wait 14 years, and the NBA reached a nine-year, $24 billion TV broadcast deal with ESPN and TNT, and then negotiate a lifetime contract with Nike.
After all, as soon as the sky-high broadcast contract is signed, the specific amount is in front of you, the league's salary cap will rise wildly, and the amount of the player's contract will skyrocket.
When the time comes, if the sneaker contract doesn't go up, then there will be a ghost.
It's just that I didn't expect that Doon prematurely achieved the Chicago Six Championships, the achievement of the first person in the league, and had to be retiring by the league and the team.
It's been 14 years now, and there shouldn't be much time left before the NBA signs a new broadcast contract.
The NBA needs Doon to return to the game to help them sign bigger broadcast contracts, and Nike needs Doon to boost their stock price.
And Doon also needs to return to the NBA stage in order to get a bigger shoe contract.
Doon had been silent for a year, wasted for a year, and it was time to get back out of the mountain.
In order to ensure that he can return to good form in the NBA before re-entering the game, Doon needs to train in games, through warm-up games, and the men's basketball World Cup, to regain the feeling of playing before.
Doon believes that when he shouts "I AM BACK!" "After that, I still have the ability and feasibility to win a championship in the NBA.
And Doon also needs to use another championship to completely surpass Jordan, so that the final controversy will not be a controversy! (End of chapter)
