You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 820

Like Wei Xia, many fans at the scene did not know Wang Zhelin.

In fact, three years ago, Wang Zhelin once made a splash in the United States.

That year he was selected to the Nike Basketball Summit, scored 19 points and 8 rebounds and became famous in the first battle.From his data alone, this is the best data played by all Chinese players participating in the Nike summit.

After the Nike summit, Wang Zhelin made it to the beginning of the second round in the mock draft prediction.

Later, he was promoted to the first team of Fujian, and he averaged 20+10 in a row since his rookie season.Immediately strong combat power, stable performance, low-post offense is as solid as Okafor, and the defensive end is evenly matched.

In Wei Xia's view, Wang Zhelin and Okafor definitely belong to the similarity of "another me in the world".

However, the American version of Okafor is more talented, and he has been favored by the media since he was a child, so he was the third in the draft. Before the Nike summit, Wang Zhelin even Chinese fans didn’t know his strength.

Wang Zhelin's draft pick was in line with the expectations of the fans, but he didn't expect that it would be the 76ers.

For Chinese fans, this is the best result.

Being able to go to the 76ers, Wei Xia can cover up at least so that he won't be discriminated against or bullied.

The development template set by the NBA for Wang Zhelin is a bit interesting. The best prospect is Splitter, and the worst prospect is Ha Seung-jin, the number one center in the universe?
Is the order reversed?
Wei Xia smiled bitterly.

He came to join the fun of the Lakers, but he didn't expect to be killed by his own team.

He even didn't expect that Wang Zhelin was not the only one in the management's operations in the draft.

The 76ers have three draft picks, the 24th and 30th picks in the first round, and the last one that selected Wang Zhelin.

They selected people for the two picks in the middle and late stages of the first round, but the signing rights of the two first-round picks were bundled with the first-round picks with the protection of the top six picks in 2018. Traded to the Atlanta Hawks, and won the signing rights of the No. 15 pick in the first round, Kelly Oubre.

Oubre is far more famous for his looks than his skills. Moreover, his feet are like symbols on the beach, his shoulders are like the tip of an iceberg, and his waist in his shirt can hold everything firmly—it’s no problem to say that he is a girl killer.

The 76ers spent such a "high" price to get him, in large part because of the sweetness of the five small athletic ability to suppress their opponents in this year's finals.

After deduction, the coaching staff believed that if the 76ers did not use the five small countermeasures at that time, but followed the tradition and hit the inside, it was very likely that the Warriors would be dragged to the seventh game.

Conversely, today, the way of the center to dominate the inside line may be outdated.

At least the offensive payoff of a group of athletically strong and consistent open shooters is higher than the return of your center near the basket.

Moreover, no matter how flexible a center is, facing five small lineups will slow down his speed.

In other words, in theory, as long as the athletic ability can be guaranteed, the five small lineups can be used against any team at the moment.

The Warriors' top five is not as good as the 76ers' top five, so is there any other team that can put on a stronger top five than the 76ers?
The coaching staff deduced it again, and the answer was no.

Wesha + Robertson + Glenn Robinson III's athletic ability and size, the league is unmatched.

Hayward + Holiday + Oubre, who is about to join the team, is also an extremely clever combination.

It is true that the Warriors have opened the black box. They allowed the 76ers to find a better ace tactic than the 41 system.

However, for the 76ers, this tactic has both opportunities and risks.

All of this will be verified in the future. As for now, they will welcome a first-round pick with auspicious position and a very characteristic last pick to join the team at the same time.

Not surprisingly, Oubre will soon sign with the 76ers.

Wang Zhelin needs to put a question mark.

Whether Fujian will let him go depends on whether he has the will to play in the NBA.

All are important.

If it works, the 76ers will definitely sign him. This has nothing to do with strength. They simply want to expand their Chinese market.

Because of the existence of Wei Xia, the 76ers have surpassed the Rockets in China, and they are the three most popular teams that can keep pace with the Lakers in their heyday and James' team.

Another native Chinese player joins in, and the chassis will be more stable.

The day after the draft, the 76ers held a championship celebration.

The sightseeing car passed by most of the famous scenic spots in Philadelphia, and the players stepped forward to speak.

Rondo's words were the most practical: "No matter what, I will stay, and I am willing to pay any price to continue to be a part of the championship team!"

There is no explicit statement, but the subtext can be read: In order to stay and compete for the championship, I am willing to cut my salary.

When it was Wei Xia's turn, the cheering and screaming lasted for four to five minutes. If he hadn't started to make the big guys calm down, it might have continued.

"This is the third time I have participated in such an event. Your passion always surprises and moves me. This is what we want to pursue. In order to have the opportunity to feel your love on such days in the future, we will do our best to bring more glory."

Compared with the inappropriate speech when he returned from winning the championship, Wei Xia's remarks are more mature.

No fans will be discouraged by this, because they also know that winning the championship is never easy.

The championship celebration is over and the world is entering July.

In July 2015, the only thing Wei Xia had to do while staying in the United States was special training besides established business activities.

In addition, he had to be interviewed for the championship documentary.

This year, like last year, the 76ers won the championship, and he has a lot of shots in the documentary.

Therefore, Wei Xia is still a busy person, and his schedule is full of arrangements.

The 76ers began to stabilize the championship team.

Odom was the first to reach a contract extension agreement with the 76ers.

In the past few years, he has held 300 million a year. At the age of 36, he is still an all-rounder who can be useful in many ways.

It's just that age is a hurdle.

Odom, who just wants to play comfortably and live at ease, doesn't pay much attention to salary figures.

Therefore, he signed a two-year 76 million contract extension with the 2ers.

Next is Hollins, who stayed in Philadelphia on a one-year, $1 million contract.

From his debut to the present, Hollins has always had distinct characteristics.

Can play two frontcourt positions. He has excellent wingspan and strong explosive power, but he is thin. You can't count on him to protect the rebound. Although the rim protection is excellent, he is often hindered by the thickness of his body.

Such a characteristic is destined that he can only hit the body.

And the body is the most age-consuming.

Like Wei Xia, he was born in 84. He will be 32 years old next year and has passed the peak of his career.

The only reason he stayed in Philly was because he was tough.

Lambiel in Philadelphia is not just yelling, he has already figured out his position, serious fouls, rough moves, and even fights with the opponent, these things often have him.

So despite his serious degradation, the 76ers still kept him with a basic salary.

Next is the main event.

The negotiation between Rondo and the 76ers was very fast, and a verbal agreement was reached in only one meeting.

Rondo didn't look at outside offers, and he and the 76ers quickly reached a verbal agreement of 1 million for one year.

According to speculation by professionals, Rondo sacrificed at least 200-500 million in salary for this contract.

He wants to stay in Philadelphia for another year. According to experts' predictions, the league's salary cap will skyrocket next year. At such moments, a large number of premium contracts will be produced.

How much money Long spends to fight for the championship for a year and then earn a big contract seems to be a big loss, but it may be the best arrangement for him personally.

One other person was not so lucky.

Wei Xia's classmate Vaughan Weaver, he is not in the 76ers' future plans.

If Wei Xia helped to say something, he would definitely stay, but Weaver didn't want to accept this favor.

In the 10 years in the NBA, he won three rings. Although they are all supporting roles, how many players can play in the NBA for 10 years and win three rings with the team?

Weaver did not stay in Philadelphia, nor did he join another NBA team.

Water dispenser management gods like him can be found everywhere, and he doesn't want to go all out to grab such an opportunity.

He was only 30 years old and still able to play. The invitation from the Chinese CBA League made him leave the United States.

For the next six years, he stayed in China. Although he didn't achieve much, he worked hard for six years until he retired, leaving fans with the impression of a high-quality foreign player who is dedicated, hardworking, hardworking, and conscientious.

This is something later.

Hearing that Weaver left the team, Wei Xia felt a little bit sad. They have worked together since 2005.After that, Weaver came to Philadelphia one step ahead of him. The two met here and became teammates for 9 seasons.

Weaver didn't call him to say he wanted to stay, so Wei Xia didn't take the initiative to go to the management and ask them to keep Weaver.

He's still young, he can still play, and he doesn't want to sit on the bench all the time.

Matt Bonner is unique, not many people are willing to give up their prime years to be a mascot on the bench.Besides, Weaver has not been a mascot for a short time, and he wants to change his way of life.

This is more uncomfortable for Wei Xia, and he has one less friend who can talk to him.
