I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 336 Gold Medal Sees Gold Medal Again!

After the championship parade, He Li didn't stay in Milwaukee and returned to China soon.

Originally, in He Li's plan, the next Men's Basketball World Championships was not planned to be played.

As early as two years ago in the Olympic Games, He Li led the team to win the gold medal, and had a good account in the national team.

Next, He Li can work harder in the NBA to strive for higher personal honor.

Besides, having reached the finals every year in these years, He Li hardly ever spent any summer recuperating.

Over the past few years, He Li has accumulated too much fatigue, and the occasional injuries in the last two seasons also reflect that He Li's body is in a "sub-healthy" state, and He Li needs to be treated with caution.

It's a pity that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Originally, He Li had already negotiated with a certain person, and this summer is mainly about rest.

But in the warm-up match before the start of the World Championships, the performance of the men's basketball team under the leadership of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian was not particularly outstanding.

Because the men's basketball team was already the world's top team before, and the men's basketball team was in an unbeatable position. Now if one fails to play well, it will suffer from a lot of discussions, especially criticism.

No way, for the consideration of the Olympic Games at home two years later, He Li had to play in this World Championships, and through the method of training instead of competitions, he became familiar with the ultimate lineup of the Olympic Games two years later.

Of course, He Li returned to China to play in the World Championships, but this does not mean that he must go all out.

Director Li's request is that the World Championships must break through the group stage and reach the semi-finals.

This means that the men's basketball team must maintain a world-class level.

But it is not mandatory to keep the gold medal in the World Championships, which also leaves a lot of room for He Li to maneuver.

In games that are not particularly important, He Li can definitely be lazy.

After completing the task of the World Championships, He Li must find a chance to rest.

Or even during the regular season next season.

Originally, if he could have a good rest this summer, He Li must maintain the record of 2000 points in a single season in the regular season.

If you can defend the scoring champion, that would be great.

But the personal honor of the scoring champion cannot match the personal honor of the FMVP after all, let alone the six consecutive championships and the six consecutive FMVPs, which completely stretched the dominance.

If you are willing, you will gain something.Therefore, some things that should be discarded must be put aside first.

This summer, the Bucks decided to go crazy and re-sign Boozer with a maximum salary contract.

Then next season, the Bucks will have 3 maximum-salary contracts, because Antawn Jamison’s maximum-salary contract is relatively large, so the maximum-salary contracts of He Li, Boozer and Antawn Jamison account for almost 80% of the salary cap.

Coupled with the rookie contracts of Wade, Kendrick Perkins and David Lee, the Bucks' cap space is already full.

But the Bucks also extended a slightly larger mid-level contract with Penny. In addition, there is still one year left on the two-year contracts signed with several veterans. Although they are basic salary contracts, the salaries of these contracts are still included in the salary cap.

Fortunately, He Li and Boozer's contract renewals are both contract renewals with the parent team, and if they have bird rights, they are all contract renewals.

Although the Bucks have exceeded the luxury tax, fortunately, the consecutive championships in the past few years have enabled the team to operate quite well. When the team does not lose money, the boss is willing to spend money to continue to ensure the team's record.

This summer, the Bucks succeeded in renewing Boozer's contract. From the perspective of the finals, Wade's injury is not that serious. When the new season comes, the Bucks will be the top four All-Star players in the league.

If you count the pennies, that's five.

With the lineup of the five giants, it is not impossible to successfully defend the championship and win six consecutive championships, at least on paper.

For the benefit of the team, but also for his own benefit, He Li must ensure the health of the next season.

And there can be no surprises in this World Championships.

"Dayao, you guys have also played in the playoffs, save some energy and don't fight so hard.

I know you focus on the big picture, but for us, the real big picture is two years from now.

Being healthy now does not mean you will still be healthy two years from now.

You're an inside player, and you're so big and heavy, pay attention! "

Before going to the World Championships, He Li also reminded Yao Ming.

Yi Jianlian has just entered the NBA, the team did not make the playoffs, and is still young, so it is no problem to play more in the World Championships.

Battelle and Wang Zhizhi are just ordinary rotation players, and the World Championships is a stage for them to prove their strength.

They all need to perform at the World Championships, but Yao Ming is not so eager to prove.

Besides, the advantage of the men's basketball team is that there are many insiders and qualified substitutes.

Most of the things that Yao Ming can do, there are definitely people in the men's basketball team who can make up for and complete these tasks.

In the warm-up match before the start of the World Championship, Yao Ming still played in the way of the NBA regular season and even the playoffs.

Yao Ming originally wanted to tell He Li some principles of responsibility, honor and disgrace, but he just smiled when he heard He Li say that.

Everyone knows whether He Li is tired or not. Yao Ming also knows how He Li plays on the court.

Yao Ming knew that what He Li said was reasonable, but he was Yao Ming, not He Li. Everyone has their own opinions and everyone has their own responsibilities.

Yao Ming chose to continue to fight for his country, even if he could win the warm-up match, he would never give up.

Fortunately, this men's basketball team has gradually entered a mature stage and has gradually become a complete team.

In Asia, the men's basketball team is still very strong under the leadership of Yao Ming.

Yi Jianlian was developed by He Li in advance. With the instruction manual, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming teamed up to dominate the basket. At least the men's basketball team has a great advantage in the interior.

When the time entered August, the men's basketball team quickly rushed to the foot basin across the sea.

Like the Dream Team, the men's basketball team is in Group D, and besides the Dream Team, there are actually no strong opponents in Group D.

Now that He Li has returned, the group stage of the Men's Basketball World Championships is not a problem.

And so it is.

Since the head coaches of the two teams in the NBA Finals were unwilling to lead the Dream Team, the position of head coach of the Dream Team actually fell into the hands of Larry Brown.

Needless to say, Larry Brown's coaching style, leading the World Championships will inevitably overturn.

For the Dream Team to play in the World Championships, the most important thing is to emphasize defense. A group of All-Stars playing in the World Championships will easily lead to situations where the big players are not willing to defend.

But Larry Brown only uses veterans who are good at defense and does not use dynamic rookies, which will also cause big problems.

It's true that Larry Brown, as the best sixth man, helped the men's basketball team. The men's basketball team was still lucky to qualify first in Group D despite He Li's paddling.

After breaking through the group stage, the opponent of the men's basketball team was the French team.

He Li worked a little harder, played for 30 minutes, scored 24 points, helped the men's basketball team beat the French team 85 to 78, and advanced to the semi-finals.

After the task was completed, He Li resumed his life-saving basketball journey.

However, in the semi-finals against Greece, he saw the hope of winning again. He Li didn't want to see his teammates work hard for the whole game, but was defeated by the opponent at the last minute, so he made an exception and helped the men's basketball team win this crucial game again.

It is worth mentioning that in another semi-final, the Dream Team lost to the Spanish team led by Gasol.

The men's basketball team and the Spanish team met in the final, because Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian restricted Gasol's performance, and the men's basketball team had already taken advantage without waiting for any effort.

It would be a pity not to win a gold medal.

Therefore, He Li still wasted some time and energy to help the men's basketball team achieve a new breakthrough in the World Championships.

"Olympic gold medal two years ago, this year's World Championship gold medal, gold medal and gold medal, next stop, our goal is still gold medal!"
