Chapter 197 No one cares

The deal between the Wolves and the Hornets did not cause a particularly big splash in the current hot trading market.

In the eyes of the general managers of other teams, trading Rubio is just Kahn's routine operation, that is, Xia Ji's bullying change.

Can Lillard contribute more than Rubio?

In fact, Rubio played well last season and can provide some help to Li Yu, making him a qualified starting point guard.

Trading Rubio and giving Lillard room can guarantee that the latter will do better?

ESPN's evaluation of this deal, the Wolves only received a C-, while the Hornets received a B+.

Trade away Ariza, if Okafor's premium contract can be cleared again, it will make room for this year's No. [-] pick.

With the new No. [-] pick and Rubio, who mainly passes the ball, the performance of the Hornets next season is worth looking forward to.

In the deal between the Wolves and the Hornets, most of the team's general managers took a spectatorial attitude.

After trading away Rubio, the Wolves completed the signing with free agent Jeff Green. The contract signed by the two parties is 4 years and 3780 million US dollars.

Jeff Green was once a member of the Thunder. After the Thunder played, he was sent to the Celtics.

Now that his contract has expired, the Celtics naturally wanted to renew him, but he refused.

He wants to go to a championship team, at least it must be a strong playoff team.

Obviously, after the Celtics lost Ray Allen, their competitiveness has dropped significantly and they have fallen out of the ranks of championship teams.

The fact that the Wolves can play against the Thunder is inseparable, which is a proof of their strength. It can be said that as long as their super rookie can grow again, the Timberwolves next season will be a strong contender for the championship.

After a period of negotiations, Jeff Green finally agreed to sign with the Timberwolves.

The general manager of the Thunder team smelled something different from it.

Their deal with the Wolves seems to be dead. Judging by the posture of the Wolves, they are building a lineup around Li Yu, and there is absolutely no idea of ​​a deal.

The general manager of the Thunder was in a hurry and called Kahn quickly.

"Kan, our deal?"

"Sorry, Li is the cornerstone of our team, even if you pack the Thunder's three young masters together, we will not trade."

beep ~ a busy tone

Farke, the general manager of the Thunder jumped in anger. He finally persuaded the team owner to use Westbrook and Harden to do business with the Timberwolves, but he was put together.

After the Wolves signed Jeff Green, they took advantage of the situation to pursue and complete the contract extension with free agent McGee. It is also a four-year contract with a total of 3580 million US dollars.

David Kahn went crazy and introduced shooting guard JR Smith in the free market.

As of now, the team's roster.

Guards: Li Yu, Lillard (rookie), Jose, JR, Ellington.

Forward: Jeff Green, Ariza, Middleton (rookie), Wesley.

Insiders: Love, Page, McGee.

Excluding two rookies, the salaries of these people add up to about $5000 million, and the Wolves can sign another bench player.

And they also have a middle class clause.

In other words, the Wolves can introduce two more players, bringing the roster to 14 people.

Among the remaining players in the free market, there are no players that the Wolves particularly need, so Kahn temporarily stopped, and he has to think about how to use the middle class clause.

When he saw the team's roster, Li Yu did not have any emotional fluctuations, and he did not recruit big-name stars, which was within his expectation.

The only thing that makes him feel sad is that Rubio is really gone. How much happiness will be lost next season?

After being sad for a while, he came to the training hall of the national team.

There is not much time until the Olympic Games, everyone is more excited, and they are also very involved in training.

Li Yu is also very hard, training day and night.

On July 2012, 7, domestic time, the Olympic Games opened.

On July 7, the national team faced the Matador and defeated the Matador with a score of 29:102, winning the first match.

Li Yu played well in this game, scoring 45 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

The UAE also played very well, scoring 20 points and 8 rebounds.

The cooperation between him and Li Yu is the key to winning the game. In one scene in the game, after Li Yu made a steal, he directly passed the quarterback and transferred it to Ah Lian, who was on the fast break.

Before the Bulldogs could react, Ah Lian dunked the basketball into the basket.

This ball became the top five balls of the day.

On July 7, the national team VS fighting nation, this game was played rather anxiously, and it was not until the third quarter that the national team established its lead.

最终以81比72的比分赢得比赛，这次国家队有四个人得分上双，得分王仍然是李羽，他砍下31分12助攻2篮板4抢断。

When Coach Bob saw Li Yu's performance, he felt like he had got a full-level number. The team's offense could not be launched, and the tactics could not be implemented. If Li Yu gave the ball, he would always have a way to get the ball in.

On August 8, the national team VS Yang Guo
On August 8th, the national team VS eight countries

August 8th, National Team VS John Bull Country
……

With all five victories, the national team qualified as the first in the group and advanced to the quarter-finals.

Li Yu averaged 38.1 points, 9.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game. His performance conquered the national team and domestic fans.

See Li Yu's way of organizing the game on the field, and then look at the offensive rhythm of the national team after he is off the field.

The first-hand experience of the fans is that compared with Li Yu, the elder nephews are like a cloud and mud.

Li Yu can revitalize the players on the court, and he infuses the team with the concept of winning.

Maybe these players in the national team already have strength, but they just lack a good defender to activate them.

This is the voice of the fans.

The national team beat strong enemies and stood out from the group. The Chinese who really like basketball are naturally very happy.

Of course, there are also some "Chinese people" who always reflect on themselves and express some pessimistic views whenever the country makes major achievements.

With a seemingly neutral attitude, he expressed his concerns about the national team, thinking that it is nothing to appear in the group stage, and he will not win a medal anyway. After all, the remaining teams are super teams.

Faced with these ridiculous arguments, the members of the national team responded strongly with actions.

In the 1/4 finals against the strong team Lithuania, the national team won the game 91-71 Lithuania.

This brilliant result has effectively refuted those who like to "reflect", and brought incomparable confidence to fans who really like basketball and people who love this country.

On August 8, the semi-finals played against the Matador again, and the national team narrowly won 11:108 to advance.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yu scored 48 points in this game, and the UAE also scored 30+ to finish off the Matador's inside line.

Even against strong enemies, and in the finals with the beautiful Congressional Division, this national team has created a new history.

It can be said that in the quarter-finals, their performance has exceeded most people's expectations. Even coach Bob, who knows Li Yu's strength, is already satisfied with the team's ability to enter the quarter-finals. His job is guaranteed. up.

Unexpectedly, the team was going through a storm all the way, and finally had a showdown with the dream team.

The players were both excited and apprehensive, and they had to fight for the next game.
