Chapter 201 Training Team(1/2)
Author: Feng Yuanhua
The draft is about to start. It’s impossible this year, but next year?
If Yao Ming really enters the NBA and becomes the No. 1 pick, he will have to join the Wizards!
Jordan will come back with the Wizards!
Indeed, as a basketball god, Jordan has no problem with his skills, but he really doesn’t know how to teach others.
Kwame Brown was hit hard by him and lost his self-confidence.
But what if it were replaced by Yao Ming?
Yao Ming's ability to withstand pressure is obvious to all. When he first entered the NBA, how much pressure did his status as the number one pick bring to him?
Not only that, at the beginning of the new season, no matter how bad he played, how much pressure would he be under?
However, Yao Ming endured it and became a butterfly!
If he is really allowed to follow Jordan and withstand the pressure exerted by Jordan.
There will definitely be unexpected results.
Although Jordan is old, it is not a problem to score 20 or 30 points in a single game while conserving his physical strength.
Jordan + Yao Ming, this combination is quite promising.
Of course, this is just what Wang Hao thought about. It would be very difficult for Yao Ming to enter the NBA.
Unlike the Bayi team, which has many issues to consider, the Shanghai team only considers interests.
At the worst time, the Shanghai team even wanted to skin Yao Ming and sell him to the NBA.
Therefore, after many years, Yao Ming returned to the Shanghai team. It would be nonsense to say that he missed the old friendship!
Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming are both still in the international training team. I don’t know how Zhang Lili can contact them.
In addition to Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming's affairs, when the three of them get together, they naturally have to talk about the national team.
Now, the national team is training and will participate in multiple warm-up matches before heading to Sydney.
The Sydney Olympics won't end until September, and the NBA training camp is about to begin at that time.
"By the way, Wang Hao, I heard that the US team attaches great importance to the Sydney Olympics this time and has recruited many stars?"
"The NBA doesn't talk about recruiting. First, players must be voluntary, and then the U.S. national team will invite them."
"Are many stars going to participate?"
"That's for sure. Olympic gold medals are quite attractive to American players.
Considering the strength of the American team, as long as there are no accidents, the gold medal will basically be unwinnable.
As far as I know, Kidd, Carter, and Alonzo Mourning will all participate in this Olympics."
…
In addition, Wang Hao's teammates Gary Payton and Vin Baker will also participate in the Sydney Olympics.
It's quite interesting. Vin Baker can't even fully concentrate on NBA games, so he still wants to participate in the Olympics?
However, Wang Hao no longer cares about these things, he might as well watch the game, the finals have begun.
Sure enough, in the first game of the Finals, the Lakers won the game without any suspense.
Kobe's performance was average, but O'Neal produced super statistics of nearly 40+20, winning the game reliably.
After this game, the Pacers finally understood that there is indeed a gap between them and the Lakers.
No, in the second game, in the first quarter, Jaylen Rose came up with a way.
A very cruel step that directly destroyed Kobe.
Although in this game, with O'Neal's another 40+20 performance, the Lakers won again.
But the question is, without Kobe, can the Lakers continue to win? Can O'Neal maintain his form?
Sure enough, in the third game, the Lakers still lost.
Although O'Neal still performed well, he was still unable to support himself in the absence of helpers.
Glen Rice, no matter from which aspect, compared to Kobe, he is still a little unsatisfied.
That's right, Kobe missed this game.
Just when the Pacers saw hope, Indiana fans started celebrating.
Kobe is back.
To be honest, the news in the past few days about Kobe's return to the game has made the Pacers a little bit reluctant to stop.
However, in Game 4, when they saw Kobe appear on the court, the Pacers' mentality collapsed.
Why is there such a thing as the return of the king?
Reed, who broke his leg in the 1970 Finals, and Yao Ming, who played in the 2009 Western Conference semifinals, are back.
The impact this scene has on the team's morale and the impact on the opponent's morale is absolutely unimaginable.
What's more important is that Kobe doesn't do anything. Why are you so exaggerated when you're already injured?
With 28 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Kobe had his best performance since the Western Conference Finals.
What the hell, you can’t play ball without getting injured?
Of course, during the game, it was still clear that Kobe's injury had a great impact.
He took 27 shots in the game, all of which were mid-range shots, and he did not commit a single foul.
Obviously, he was avoiding physical confrontation and avoiding secondary injuries.
3:1
In the finals, it is not easy to come back from an absolute disadvantage of 3:1.
What's more, according to the current NBA schedule, the last two games are the Lakers' home court.
I have to say that the current schedule of the finals is very strange, 2-3-2 schedule.
The consequence of this arrangement is that the effect of home field advantage is gone and instead becomes a disadvantage.
The advantage of three consecutive home games is absolutely unimaginable.
In fact, at the beginning, the NBA Finals schedule was actually 2-2-1-1-1.
I don't know what happened later, but it changed to what it is now.
I have to say, it's very strange, and what's even more strange is his reason, which is to save the team's expenses.
Hell, an NBA team spends so much on travel every year, so why does it care about making two more trips?
What's more, we've reached the finals, who cares about these two small sums of money, just kidding?
The Pacers defended their third home court, but the Lakers randomly ended the battle in Game 6.
4:2
The Lakers won the game without any danger and won the 12th championship in team history.
With 38 points, 16.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 blocks, O'Neal became the undisputed Finals MVP.
It can be said that he dominated the entire finals and dominated the interior of both teams.
When Wang Hao saw the end of the game, he turned off the TV. He had no intention of watching others win the championship.
Rather than appreciating others winning the championship, Wang Hao hopes that he will appear on the TV screen.
However, it is not that easy to win the championship.
Judging from the current SuperSonics lineup, there is still a big gap, mainly reflected in the interior.
Then there is the substitute lineup, which relies entirely on the main players to play the game, which is unrealistic.
Even the Lakers basically rely on the OK combination to play, but they also have Fisher and Robert Holly on the bench...
Especially now, as far as Wang Hao knows, whether Horace Grant will stay with the SuperSonics is somewhat unpredictable.
Although the trading market has not yet opened, some private news is still circulating.
However, there is good news for the Sonics. Howard Schultz has confirmed that he will join the Sonics.
Of course, Howard Schultz and his Starbucks are just the leaders; they are a combined consortium.
Now that the league has entered the SuperSonics, if there are no surprises, this deal will be officially concluded.
With a consortium willing to spend money to settle in, the Sonics can already see some hope for the future.
Specifically, it depends on the Sonics' performance after the trade market opens and whether they can strengthen their lineup.
Throughout June, Wang Hao basically rested, and the so-called training was just basic exercises.
He is ready to return to the United States and start formal training.
Before leaving, Wang Hao left 10 million US dollars to his family and gave his parents a task.
To be continued...
