NBA backer king

Chapter 236 The new season is coming

On August [-]st, Zhang Lili and Su Qun came to him and told him that the World Championships were about to start.

The quadrennial Men's Basketball World Championships will be held in Canada, from August 14th to NO.[-].

Zhang Li said regretfully: "Those NBA stars will participate in the World Championships this time. The media called them the Dream Team [-]. O'Neal and Mourning are among them. It would be great if you could participate."

Lao Wang smiled and said, "No, even if I join the national team in the future, I will only play in the Olympics, and I won't participate in the World Championships."

Zhang Lili and Su Qun were taken aback, and couldn't help but wry smiles.

On the 4th, the 12th Men's Basketball World Championships kicked off in Toronto.

16 teams participated and were divided into four groups. The top two in each group entered the knockout round. Country Z was in a group with the United States, Brazil, and Spain.

Needless to say, the strength of the second dream team, Brazil is the champion of South America, and Spain is the No.5 in the European Championship.

In the first game against Brazil, they were two points behind in the last ten seconds of the game. In the end, Zheng Wu did not panic and made a two-pointer, which dragged the game into overtime.

In the extra time, Hu Weidong broke out, scored 10 points alone, defeated Brazil with a score of 97:93, and won the first group match.

No. 6, against the United States.

Playing against the second dream team is undoubtedly a lot of pressure. This is the first time the men's basketball team has played against the dream team.

Before playing, the men's basketball team came to the player channel ahead of time to wait.

Liu Yumin personally served as the team leader, Jiang Xinquan was the head coach, and the two of them, along with several other coaches and staff, were also waiting on the sidelines.

The playing time is up, but the team of the second dream team has not yet arrived, so the staff of the organizing committee had to arrange for the country Z team to go out first.

After five or six minutes, a group of uncles from the Dream Team 6 arrived late and played under the cheers of the Canadians.

There is usually a greeting session between the two teams before the start of the match. The country Z team took the initiative to come forward to say hello, and the guys from the second dream team who had eyes above the top responded lukewarmly, and some of them ignored it.

People like Rainman Kemp who have a bad relationship with Wang Tiejun greet the men's basketball team with a nose instead of a nose and eyes not eyes, and their attitude is very bad.

The game then started. Under the tight defense of the American team, the men's basketball team immediately fell into a passive state and made frequent mistakes, which gave the Dream Team [-] a lot of fast break opportunities.

The outside line is unfavorable, and the inside line is also weak.

"boom!"

Rainman Kemp, the originator of the Beast, bombed the basket of the Z country team again and again, never tired of it.

"boom!"

The same is true for the behemoth O'Neal. On both offensive and defensive ends, he completely dominated the two penalty areas and turned Shan Tao into a scumbag.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Lili, the commentator, kept sighing in his heart. If Wang Tiejun was there, even if he couldn't guard against these two guys, he could still explode each other, and the scene wouldn't be so embarrassing.

After a game, 132:77, the men's basketball team lost to the Dream Team by a full 55 points, which can be called a bloodbath.

Hu Weidong, who played well in the last game, only scored 8 points in this game, and the main center only scored 11 points in single elimination.

Sitting next to the bench, Liu Yumin, director of the basketball department, watched with his own eyes a giant beast and a wild beast blast the men's basketball penalty area into scum, and he wanted to call Wang Tiejun into the national team more and more.

After the game, she found Zhang Lili.

"Old Zhang, are you familiar with the American team's center forward and power forward? CCTV didn't broadcast their games. I don't know them. How is their strength compared to Wang Tiejun?" she asked.

Zhang Lili immediately said: "That center is Shaquille O'Neal, nicknamed Shaq, and he is most likely to become the fourth super center in the NBA.

This time he led his team to the NBA playoffs, but was swept in the first round, but there is no doubt about his strength. He is first-class and stronger. His offensive and defensive strength is even higher than Wang Tiejun, and he will definitely not be inferior to Wang Tiejun. "

"How much better than Wang Tiejun?"

Liu Yumin didn't doubt Zhang Lili's words. Just now O'Neill's performance was really strong. He ran as fast as a guard, was frighteningly flexible, and yet had extremely explosive power. He looked like a man of extreme talent.

Zhang Lili said: "His athletic quality is much better than Wang Tiejun's, but Tiejun also has his strengths, O'Neal can't guard against him, the two are actually fighting each other.

However, Wang Tiejun's style of play is too physical, so the number of offenses is limited and his scoring ability is not as good. "

After talking about O'Neal, he introduced the situation of Kemp the Rainman, and then said: "This star has suffered a lot under the hands of Tie Jun, and his ribs have been broken. If Tie Jun was on the court today, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.

It is O'Neill, who has suffered in front of the Tie Jun, has been detained several times by the Tie Jun, and is often knocked over by the Tie Jun.Of course, he also knocked over Tiejun several times. "

Liu Yumin nodded, but didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak.

Zhang Lili opened his mouth, wanting to ask about the current situation, but couldn't open his mouth.

He met Wang Tiejun before coming here this time, and he knew Wang Tiejun's attitude was not something that the national team could just call in, and it was already very difficult to operate.

Liu Yumin was thinking about this matter, and now she desperately wanted to call Wang Tiejun into the national team before the 96 Olympics.

Zhang Li thought about it, and then said: "Liu Chu, you know what Wang Tiejun means, and he won't agree if he doesn't solve his problem.

Moreover, even if that thing is done, he will only play in the Olympics and not in other games. "

Liu Yumin was taken aback, feeling a little annoyed.

……

On August [-]th, in the capital, Wang Tiejun sent Feihong to the plane, who will study abroad at UCLA for three years.

Before leaving, he gave Yu Feihong a Citibank check for US$20, which was exchanged by the latter in RMB, which was not less than a penny according to the official exchange rate.

Yu Feihong's family is very good. He started filming at the age of 16. The cost of studying abroad is not a problem. He is unwilling to spend his money and is very independent.

The relationship between the two has further developed, at least they no longer say such stupid things as brothers, but the distance between them and some other reasons have been blocking the further development of the two.

A few days later, the 12th World Championships ended, and the Dream Team 37.7 won the championship with super strength, averaging [-] points per game, continuing the glory of the Dream Team [-].

The men's basketball team of country Z has also achieved breakthrough results in history, reaching the top eight in the world and achieving the eighth best result in the world.

This generation of men's basketball team was also called the golden generation in 94 by the domestic media, and Hu Weidong and others made a big splash.

……

On August 8th, Wang Tiejun completed a 25-day speed training, and his speed increased to level 50, reaching his ceiling.

Ten days later, he completed a two-month jumping training, and his jumping was raised to the ceiling of level 74, with a height of 73/73 and a speed of 75/75, which could no longer be improved.

The improvement of these two qualities has also led to a corresponding improvement in some technologies.

At the end of September, 9 days of balance training was completed, raising the ceiling to level 80.

Another ten days later, on October 10th, all other trainings were completed.

With the weight reaching 129 kg, the strength also reached 98 levels.

Through training, my physical fitness has increased by 3 levels as scheduled, and with the addition of 100 medicinal baths, my potential has increased by another level, and now it is at level 99/101.

With a level of physical fitness of 99, he reckons that he is at the top level in the league, because the level 110 set by the system is for the entire human race, not just for the NBA.

Coordination has been increased by 5 ranks and is now 90/91.

In terms of resistance to injury and disease, it is now level 93/101, which can be increased by one level through medicated oil massage.

In terms of rebounding, through training, it has been improved by 3 levels, and the improvement of sports quality has been improved by 1 level. In two ways, it has been improved by 4 levels in three months, and now it has reached level 98.

The system prompts that he has mastered all rebounding skills. This skill has reached his ceiling and cannot be further improved through systematic training. If he wants to improve again, he needs to improve his athleticism to a higher level.

The blocked shots have been improved by 5 levels through training, and the improvement of sports quality has been improved by 2 levels. A total of 7 levels have been improved, and now it is 89 levels.

The single defense has been raised by 4 levels in total, and it is now level 91.

The help defense has been improved by 8 levels through training, and thanks to the improvement of sports quality, it has been improved by 2 levels, a total of 10 levels, and now it is 81 levels.

In addition, the explosive power has been increased from 77/85 to 80/86, which has been increased by three levels and one level respectively.

In terms of offensive ability, the low-level surface basket has been upgraded from 70 to 72, the low-post turnaround jump shot at level 28 has been raised to level 35, the boarding at level 55 has been raised to level 58, and the jump shot at level 65 has been raised to level 66. Other high-level skills have not changed, and the overall offensive strength has not changed.

In addition, there are four other statistics that have improved. He has not paid attention to these four statistics, and he does not know when they were improved.

65级的组织提升至70级，70级的掩护策应提升至85级，80级的接应分球提升至85级，85级的发动快攻提升至95级。

The improvement of these four items, based on the analysis, should be the improvement obtained with the accumulation of game experience in the past two seasons.

Looking at my own information, I feel that I have improved a lot.

However, the improvement of offensive strength still requires a lot of points to optimize and synthesize these high-level technologies.

The defense is still a bit weak, especially the auxiliary defense, and it is necessary to continue to improve.

"System, then exchange for a training card for assisting defense, single defense and blocking shots."

Without so many points for optimization and synthesis, he can only improve through training. He still has 800 points, and he has exchanged for three training cards to prepare for training in the new season.

The three trainings are still three months, and the single defense and block shots will be raised by 3 levels each. The level of assistance defense is low and the improvement is fast, but this time it is not level 8, but level 7.

The system prompts that the 88-level assisted defense is the ceiling that his physical fitness can support, unless he improves his quality again.

On October [-], he bid farewell to his family, departed for the United States, and landed in Los Angeles.

Liu Changfeng and his wife Tian Xiaofen went to the United States, this time not as his personal massage therapist, but as the sun team masseur.

He often helps Kevin Johnson and the others do massages, and the Suns officially decided to hire him as the team's masseur, with an annual salary of [-] US dollars and working hours throughout the season.

The number of people in a team is fixed, including the masseur. The Suns didn't hire him last season because there was no room left. This time, they had a chance to hire him because they vacated a spot on purpose.

In this way, Pharaoh can save some expenses.

When they arrived in Los Angeles, Hawksman picked up the plane. Lao Wang asked Liu Changfeng and his wife to go to Phoenix first. He was going to visit Yu Feihong and spend a few days in Los Angeles by the way.

"Less than, I'm here."

Driving Hawksman's car to UCLA, he made a phone call to Yu Feihong.

"Old K, I haven't seen you for two months, why are you growing up again?" Yu Feihong asked in surprise when he saw Lao Wang.

"Gain weight, I need greater tonnage and strength to gain a greater advantage in the penalty area." He smiled.

"Be careful of getting hurt," Yu Feihong warned.

He stayed in Los Angeles until the 15th before he left.

In the past few days, he and Yu Feihong walked around Los Angeles.

He was very cautious about his relationship with Yu Feihong, and he didn't have the mentality of playing with those female stars and models in Hollywood.

Yu Feihong also has her own ideas, she is very independent, even if she can get together with Wang Tiejun, she will not be attached to him.

However, she also understands that the two have different occupations and are so far apart, if they want to get together, there will be a very big obstacle.

Unless one of the two can sacrifice his career, it is difficult for them to really come together, because distance does not produce beauty for a lover or couple.

The reason why I decided to study in the United States was that I had planned it long ago, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Wang Tiejun to see if there could be a change.

This change is mainly on her own side. She can be sure that Wang Tiejun will not give up his NBA career because of her.

If there is one person to sacrifice, it can only be yourself.

Lao Wang spent more than 100 million US dollars to buy a villa in a rich area in the suburbs of Los Angeles, put a Mercedes-Benz SUV there, and gave Yu Feihong a set of keys.

Yu Feihong has an independent personality and the same is true of his finances. He doesn't spend his money. He usually goes out to play in exchange for treats, but this time she didn't refuse, because she knows that the US side is actually very unsafe, especially at night. The school building is not much better, and it is very expensive.

The two spent a few days together in Los Angeles, and the relationship has progressed. They both have very straightforward personalities. They felt that the time had come, so they formally established a romantic relationship.

On the afternoon of the 15th, Wang Tiejun returned to Phoenix, and Liu Changfeng came to pick him up.

Liu Changfeng has already moved away, and his wife has brought them here, so he will definitely not be able to live with Wang Tiejun anymore. The young couple rented a house by themselves and started to manage their own nest.

Wang Tiejun already had three cars, so he didn't need so many, so he gave the old pickup truck to Liu Changfeng.

The next day, he went to the domestic service center to register and hired a cleaning worker.

He doesn't like other people living in his home, and he doesn't plan to hire a chef. The restaurant outside is not far away, and he can do it himself, and the workers are also part-time workers.

The Suns are playing in the preseason, and they are all rookies and substitutes, and none of the main players are there.

In the next two days, Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley also returned to Phoenix. At noon on the 18th, the three met in a cafeteria.

"Old K, so strong? Are you gaining weight again?"

"What is the tonnage now?"

As soon as they met, Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley were a little surprised. He smiled and said: "129 kg, but my mobility has not weakened, and some qualities have improved. However, my athletic qualities have almost reached the limit. In the future, I can only improve my skills to improve my strength."

"That's pretty strong. In the playoffs, your speed will not be slow, and the average power forward will not be faster than you." Dan Marley said.

Lao Wang looked at the two of them. Kevin Johnson was obviously not as fit as last season, and his muscles were looser than before. The same was true for Dan Marley.

Dan Marley is a jumper-based shooting guard, and the situation may be a little better. Judging from his physical condition, the Lightning, who mainly focuses on breakthroughs, should drop a notch this season.

"Old K, there are some changes in the lineup this season. Several people have left." Kevin Johnson said.

"I haven't been to the headquarters yet, so I don't know the situation, you know?" he asked.

Kevin Johnson said: "Oliver Miller went to the Pistons, and Ceballos went to the Lakers. In addition, Danny Manning joined us as a free agent, but only signed a one-year contract."

"He doesn't stay in the Eagles?" Old Wang asked.

"The Eagles need young people to rebuild, and he doesn't have many opportunities. It just so happened that his contract ended and he chose to leave." Kevin Johnson said.

Lao Wang was stunned, are the Clippers and Eagles crazy?
Before the All-Stars last year, the Clippers and the Eagles completed a deal. The Clippers used Danny Manning + two protected first-round picks to trade the Eagles' human film essence Wilkins.Because these two stars belong to Reebok, the deal caused a sensation in the league at the time.

Then after the end of last season, Wilkins immediately announced that he would not renew his contract with the Clippers, and now Danny Manning has also left the Eagles. Aren't these two teams fighting each other?The Hawks also dropped two protected first-round picks, and the Clippers dropped none.

"Old K, what are your thoughts on the new season?" Dan Marley asked.

Lao Wang stopped the knife and fork, thought for a while and said: "Our main opponent in the new season is the Mosaic team. We lost to them last time. I don't want to lose again this time. If I lose again, I will get used to it. I can't lose again."

Kevin Johnson opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

He is almost 29 years old, and he has rested for a few months. He knows in his heart that the state of the new season will definitely not be as good as last season. He feels that he should have passed his peak period. If the team wants to hit the championship again, he will be under great pressure this season.

Last season, he averaged nearly 37 minutes per game. This season, he hopes to keep his playing time below 30 minutes.

In fact, he really does not want to leave the Suns. Although he is not a rookie of the Suns, he was traded to the Suns in his rookie season. The Suns are his home team. He has been playing here and wants to die here.

It's just that old K has become the core of the team. With such a young core, if he can't keep up at this age, the team is likely to trade him to equip old K with more suitable teammates.

So if he wants to stay in the Suns, he must continue to fight with Old K, and he must not let up.

If Old K just muddled through, he would be more comfortable and retire after a few more years, but Old K is obviously not.

In this case, he has to be prepared to be traded, or the team finds a younger No. [-] position, and he enters the bench mentally prepared.

Dan Marley has the same thoughts as Kevin Johnson. He is one year older than the Lightning and is almost 30 years old. He has passed his peak physically and now it is time to play by experience.

And he is a rookie of the Suns, he has been here since he entered the league, and he doesn't want to leave.
