Chapter 318 Accident and Inevitability@
"Xiao Yan, aren't you going to go out for a walk today and buy some Turkish specialties?" Wang Zhizhi, who slept until dawn, opened the door after washing and changing, and was going to go for a stroll, and bought some soil by the way. When I brought the special products back to China, I saw Yan Hua wearing training clothes with wet hair. It was obvious that Yan Hua had already gotten up to practice while Wang Zhizhi was still asleep.

After the national team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championships in history, the Huaguo men's basketball team fell into a state of madness. Looking back at the beginning of the expedition to Turkey, due to Yao Ming's absence due to injury, Zhu Fangyu and others Withdrawal, this national team is not favored at all, and some fans even jokingly say that if they don't get their heads shaved, it is already a victory, not to mention qualifying for the group stage and advancing to the knockout round.

However, this national team, which is called old, weak, sick and disabled by the outside world, easily broke through in the group stage, and then defeated New Zealand in the first round of the knockout round. The Huaguo men's basketball team's best record in the World Championships.

Especially yesterday, they stepped on the body of the Spanish men's basketball team, the champion of the World Championships, and stepped on the corpse of the Spanish men's basketball team to advance to the semi-finals of the World Championships, refreshing the Huaguo men's basketball team in the world. The best result in the competition, so they now have reason to be proud, also have reason to be proud, and even more reason to celebrate and cheer wildly.

Although the World Championships are not over yet, the Huaguo men's basketball team will face the American men's basketball team, known as the dream team, in the next semi-finals. Crazy celebrations began. Even Wang Zhizhi, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, had a few drinks last night before falling asleep drunk.

Compared with those young players in the team, as a witness of the 08 Olympic Games, Wang Zhizhi was more excited than anyone after the Huaguo men's basketball team defeated Spain, because after the victory over Spain, Wang Zhizhi felt that The regret and the obsession have been vented.

As for the next match against the U.S. men's basketball team, it is not so important to Wang Zhizhi. It is enough to beat Spain in the knockout round of the World Championships, not to mention facing the U.S. men's basketball team, which is stronger than Spain. The Huaguo men's basketball team has no chance of winning. What's more, Wang Zhizhi, who has been tortured countless times by the American men's basketball team, can't even bring up the courage to defeat the American team.

As the big brother of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Wang Zhizhi has this kind of mentality, not to mention the young people in the team. After celebrating wildly until midnight, many people left the hotel where they stayed early in the morning to enjoy the Istanbul. Exotic is gone.

"There is still a game tomorrow, so I went to practice the ball."

Because of John Salmons, Yan Hua was in a very upset mood. He didn't even attend the "celebration banquet" spontaneously organized by his teammates. Instead, after returning to the hotel, he gave his agent Bill Duffy, and Kings head coach Reggie Toyce called and asked the Kings what was behind the show.

As the defending champion, the Kings have been terribly calm this summer. Not only did they not carry out any form of reinforcement, they also sent away the team's third leader and sixth man in vain, and only renewed a few rotation players whose contracts expired. A few veterans and fringe people from the free market are considered to be done.

Although the head coach Reggie Toyce has repeatedly emphasized to Yan Hua that the door to the free market has not yet been closed, and the Kings still have room to operate, but in the case of big fish and small fish, even Xiami has been taken by other teams. In the case of being included in the net, Yan Hua doesn't think the king has much room for reinforcement.

The king's biggest move this summer was to renew Tony Allen's contract with $3 million for three years. Signing Luther Hyde and Antoine White for $1200 million a year can only be regarded as small things.

As for the transaction, the Kings used Benno Udriga's first-round pick next year to exchange veteran James Posey from the Hornets a few days ago, and Marcus Sawyer, who was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team last season. Dayton, the above is all the operations of the Kings this summer.

Marcus Thornton was a second-round pick last season. In 26 minutes of playing time per game, he was able to score 14.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. He shot 45.5% from the field and 37.4 from the three-point range. %, 81% from the free throw line, for a second-round pick, Marcus Thornton's performance is definitely very valuable.

However, Marcus Thornton's shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, his physical talent, poor defensive awareness, and lack of overall perspective. Therefore, Marcus Thornton cannot be recruited by the new head coach Monty William. James's vision, coupled with the fact that the Hornets have been attacking around this summer and signed several outstanding forwards and guards in one breath, has no place at all, and Marcus Thornton, who has only one year left on his contract, is facing There is only one way to be traded.

After losing the team's third leader and sixth man, the Kings urgently need to strengthen their offensive firepower. After eating James Posey's 2-year 1500 million contract, he got Marcus Thornton's one-year contract. right of use.

Unlike Reggie Toyes who talked about the team's long-term plans, Bill Duffy, Yan Hua's agent, spoke very straightforwardly. The King's series of operations this summer are actually giving Yan Hua prepares to renew his contract.

Yan Hua's rookie contract will expire in 2012. Judging from the current labor-management agreement, after the contract expires, Yan Hua can at least get a big contract with a starting salary of 1450 million US dollars and a total of nearly 9000 million. If John Salmons was renewed with a big contract this summer, when Yan Hua needs to renew the contract, the Kings can only renew the contract and pay a lot of luxury taxes.

Did he force his teammates away?After hanging up Bill Duffy's phone call, Yan Hua kept thinking about this problem. The more he thought about it, the more Yan Hua couldn't sleep, so he could only go to the training ground silently, anesthetized with crazy training and sweat own up.

"It's really not accidental that a person can succeed!" After chatting with Wang Zhizhi, Yan Hua dragged his tired body back to his room, and Wang Zhizhi, who was standing behind Yan Hua, looked at Yan Hua. Hua's back let out an exclamation.

As a professional basketball player, Wang Zhizhi naturally knows how strong Yan Hua's talent is. It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Hua is once in 50 years. At least in the decades that Wang Zhizhi has been in contact with basketball, he has never seen Yan Hua in Huaguo. A player whose physical talent can be close to Yan Hua's is not even Yao Ming.

With this talent alone, Yan Hua's starting point and upper limit are enough to surpass the vast majority of people, but Yan Hua still works so hard, and all his teammates are smug because of their current achievements, even hopeless. At that time, Yan Hua was still training desperately to prepare for the upcoming competition.

Superhuman talent, hard-working attitude, if such a person is not successful, who will succeed?
