I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 645 "Three Deadly Sins"

then……

a month later.

The 2010 Men's Basketball World Championships officially kicked off in Türkiye.

Although the starlight is a little dim, but because it is the NBA's draft game, the game still attracts a lot of attention.

As the double champion of the World Championships and Olympic Games, the Chinese team is naturally the focus of attention.

Although Sun Hao didn't participate, he still sent a video to the national team to encourage him. He would naturally pay attention to the competition.

Although he is not suitable for this kind of high-intensity competition because of his weight gain, his heart is still with the national team.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the first game is a tough one, the Greek team.

The Greek team rose to prominence in the Tokyo World Championships four years ago, and also performed brilliantly in the Beijing Olympics. Now their strength is second only to China and the United States.

Now that the Chinese team has no two core players, it is weaker than the Greek team on paper.

Not to mention that Greece is fighting in Europe, which takes advantage of the right time, place and people.

As soon as the game started, they took the initiative on the field.

It should be mentioned here that because of the stalemate between Sun Hao and Adi, many European fans who supported Sun Hao began to turn from fans to blacks, and even became hostile to the Chinese team.

As soon as the game started, the Chinese team booed as soon as they got the ball, which was even worse than an away game.

More than half of the first quarter, 10 to 2, the Greek team is in full swing.

At the critical moment, the one who stepped forward from the Chinese team was Yi Jianlian.

He first rewarded Spanoulis with a big hat, and then followed up with a fast break to receive a pass from Sun Yue and smashed the ball into the basket directly across "Little Shark" Sholchanitis.

This dunk ignited the morale of the Chinese team.

And it should be said that Yi Jianlian at this time is much stronger than Yi Jianlian in the same period in history. Not only has his offensive and defensive growth grown, but his passing ability has also improved a lot because he played with Paul for a long time.

His low singles attracted Zhu Fangyu who was double-teamed and assigned to the outside line. The latter hit a three-pointer with a knife and a three-pointer.

Take a look at the starting lineup of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Liu Wei.

Even without the two major cores, this lineup is not weak with one All-Star and three NBA players, let alone a tacit understanding.

The Chinese team fought back, and the Greek team was not weak. The two teams drew at halftime.

In the second half, the Greek team double-teamed Yi Jianlian more thoroughly, and it was Sun Yue's turn to perform.

Sun Yue started for the Clippers. Although his function in the NBA is 3D, his strength in all aspects has actually been greatly improved.

In the international arena, he can also bear the pressure.

He first hit a three-pointer with a pass from Yi Jianlian, and then stole a pass from Spanoulis, a fast-break dunk that surprised everyone.

If it is said that European defenders are characterized by being tall, the only one who can confront them head-on is Sun Yue, who is also a tall defender.

The two teams were still inseparable, fighting until the last moment.

At this time, it was like a relay race, and it was Yi Jianlian's turn to stand up for the Chinese team.

And I have to say that basketball is a sport that has been played on a higher stage, regardless of ability, the mentality will be very different.

Yi Jianlian really dared to fight at the critical moment, and he could really score, just like a big killer in FIBA.

And at the last moment, he scored 5 points in a row to help the Chinese team narrowly beat the Greek team 89 to 84 and won the first World Championship victory.

Seeing the Chinese team members celebrating wildly in the live broadcast, Sun Hao clenched his fists unconsciously.

He seemed right not to play in the World Championships this time.

No matter what the final result is, Yi Jianlian's unique ability is not a loss.

then……

Another month later.

The curtain fell on the World Championships, and the final champion belonged to the US team.

The US team won the World Championships with a record of victory.

The new generation of American stars headed by Durant also stole the limelight.

Especially Durant, who is top-notch among the rising stars.

Throughout the World Championships, he averaged 23 points per game, scored 30+ points in two consecutive games, scored the US team's highest single-game score of 40 points, and beat his opponent by 55 points in the quarter-finals to create history...

If it is said that the Japanese World Championships was just the beginning, and the Beijing Olympics was considered a budding figure, then Durant really killed the Quartet in this World Championships.

Sun Hao also sent congratulations to Durant immediately.

According to this momentum, the next London Olympics, the US team will most likely send the strongest lineup.

At that time, the group of James, Durant, Paul, and Wade over there, he is going to fight against his disciples.

Back to the Chinese team, the Chinese team achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, losing to the Lithuanian team.

When they entered the knockout stage, they also won consecutive victories all the way until they encountered the US team in the semifinals.

Durant's 40 points were obtained in the game against the Chinese team.

In the semi-final match, the Chinese team completed its revenge against the Lithuanian team and successfully won a bronze medal.

Yi Jianlian scored a large double-double of 31 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which also helped him enter the final best team.

Even without the dual-core, the bronze medal is still possible. Although it has something to do with the lackluster starlight of this World Championships, the Chinese team has proved its own strength.

That is to say, after the World Championships, Fu Paulo returned from his inspection tour in China.

After he came back, he also knew why Sun Hao focused on the Anta company.

At this time, most of the sneakers in China were imitation, and the quality of the sneakers was really not very good.

But for Anta, it has already invested a lot of money to start its own research and development laboratory.

Although he is not even the number one sneaker brand in China now, the company is very benign and has great potential.

Even if Sun Hao joins, relying on his influence, he will introduce a lot of funds to this company, and the development will directly increase to a high speed.

He gave Sun Hao the report he saw, and Sun Hao was also very satisfied, and the signing was soon put on the agenda.

About a few days later, Sun Hao returned to China to participate in a charity competition, and the media soon broke the news that Sun Hao and Anta had signed a contract.

The news of this signing instantly detonated the basketball circle.

In the current NBA, no matter which country you are from, it is either Adidas or Nike, and other sneaker brands basically stand aside.

As a result, Sun Hao, who is No.1 in the league, actually signed a contract with a second-rate Chinese brand!
This is incomprehensible in the eyes of most fans, especially American fans.

Who will have trouble with money?

But domestic fans are excited, Anta is about to take off!

Anta's public relations are also very fast. Sun Hao's new personal "Sun" series of signature sneakers and the Warriors' special sneaker production plan have already released rumors.

And in addition to these, things about their investment in research and development of sneakers have also been exposed, and it is expected that more research and development funds will be invested.

All in all, the atmosphere created by this is to create a sneaker brand that can compete with Adidas Nike.

This will be a big deal.

In the past few years, the country has developed rapidly, and the patriotic quality of the people is also increasing, which is reflected in all walks of life.

Fans are also a part of the nation. Now there is a company that has the momentum to compete with the world's big brands. How could they not support it.

Then, a lot of interesting things happened on the American side.

Because Sun Hao has never made any positive response to the signing, fans in the United States curiously began to search for various Anta sneakers.

In their eyes, this kind of "inferior imported shoes" should be of poor quality.

But after they got the sneakers, they unexpectedly found that the quality of these sneakers was not bad.

Although it is a little worse than Nike Adidas shoes, but the difference is limited, and the key is that the price is cheap!

Then something ridiculous happened.

There was an "Anta craze" among fans in the United States.

This is not entirely a whim, but has something to do with the national conditions of the United States.

Since the financial crisis, it is easy to be overlooked that the income of many people in the United States has dropped a lot, and the gap between the rich and the poor has become more obvious.

What many people know is that if there is an external blow, many people will become homeless.

It can also be understood that the living standards of many people are not so high.

At this time, things with high cost performance become what they are keen on.

This is also the reason why domestic products have been sold well in the United States in recent years, because there is a market!

And because of Sun Hao, many NBA players have joined this shoe buying craze.

Some players who love to collect sneakers are ready to buy Sun Hao's first Anta sneakers immediately.

These were things Fu Paulo hadn't thought of before.

And after seeing these, Paul Fu suddenly felt that Sun Hao had a good eye.

Because people who know a lot about sneakers know that shoes are largely based on speculation.

As long as the quality of Anta's first sneaker can be improved qualitatively, with this wave of warm-up, it will be the same as the original "Joe Yi", and it will be fired.

After the World Championships, coupled with this wave of hype, the fans realized in a blink of an eye that the long grass period was almost over.

At this time, the reinforcements of the teams are about the same, and the training camps are starting one after another.

The fans who have been bored all summer are waiting for the start of the new season, and the even more boring media people have finally begun to have some topics.

At this time, TNT gave a list of strengths for the new season ahead of ESPN.

In this list, the Warriors are first, the Bulls are second, and the Knicks, who have just formed the Big Three, are only placed in the third position.

Barkley also gave the Knicks the "three deadly sins" to analyze the problems they will encounter in the new season.

First crime: Possession of the ball.

According to his words, when the team's top four scorers all need to attack with the ball, one ball is definitely not enough to play.

Even leaving Harden aside, none of Wade, James, and Anthony is better off the ball than on the ball.

Second sin: status.

These three people used to be the absolute core of their respective teams, and they were all the ones whose hearts were higher than the sky.

Now that the three are playing together, who is the boss of the team?

Especially James and Anthony, the two were more competitive when they were drafted.

The third crime: insider problems.

The small ball tactic was amazed by the techniques used by the Warriors and Bulls last season, but in the final analysis it is not a very mature tactic and has yet to be developed.

And seeing that the Warriors are not in a hurry to trade Oden, the Bulls will know if they trade Chandler and take Bosh.

These two teams are not weak inside.

But with the Knicks lineup, basically there is no one particularly reliable inside.

Is it really necessary to expect Dampier to dream back to the Mavericks period and become the so-called second center in the West?

Barkley's analysis hit the nail on the head.

And when it came time, he didn't forget to blow a wave of Sun Hao.

"Now you know why Sun said he didn't think there was anything wrong with LeBron, because this team is no match for the Warriors."

This episode of TNT's program can be said to be full of highlights.

And in fact, such remarks are also a warm-up for the new season's Yong Ni battle.

A few days later, the Warriors' training camp officially opened.

At this time, the Warriors' roster.

Point Guard: Curry, CJ Watson, Jeremy Lin, Jason Williams

Shooting guard: Sun Hao, McGrady, Bell, Azubuike (injury)

Small forwards: Durant, Danny Green, Zhu Fangyu
Power forward: Ibaka, Landry, Uncle Huo
Centers: Oden, Hayes, Chris Anderson

There are a full 17 people on this team's roster, which means that competition is inevitable.

Especially for a second-round pick like Jeremy Lin, this is simply hell.

In the training camp, Sun Hao also met Jeremy Lin for the first time.

Unlike when he entered the league, Jeremy Lin looks obviously thin.

However, his mental state seemed to be very good, especially when he saw Sun Hao, he was a little excited and incoherent.

This is understandable.

Jeremy Lin belongs to a very special group in the United States: Asians.

The so-called Asians are people whose ancestors are Asians, and who fled to the United States to make a living in order to escape the war.

Many of these people have gained a firm foothold in the United States with their hardworking hands and smart minds, and have become part of the American people as the times change.

But this group is actually very embarrassing, because although they are Americans, their status in the United States is very low because of their race, and they belong to a minority.

Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about basketball. As an Asian, Jeremy Lin was the first to be selected by the NBA.

Not to mention Sun Hao's status in the league, let's just say that when he came to the Warriors and saw two players with the same skin color as him, the sense of security was very strong.

And after getting in touch, Sun Hao discovered that Jeremy Lin's personality is very cheerful.

He and Yi Jianlian should reflect the personality differences of the same skin color growing up in different countries.

And after getting in touch with the training camp, Sun Hao found that Jeremy Lin should be the hardest one in the training camp.

The earliest to come and the latest to leave every day.

Although, he really can't keep up with the intensity of the Warriors' game.

But with this attitude, it's not surprising why he was able to play "Linsanity" in history.

What you thought was born out of nowhere, in fact, the hard work behind it is beyond imagination.

In the blink of an eye, a month later, the Warriors completed training camp and preseason with a 17-man lineup.

Just before the start of the season, the team completed the final layoffs.
