unfinished glory

Chapter 246 Summer
The finals are over, the season belonging to the players is over, it is time to work hard, it is time to take a vacation.

The rest of the summer vacation is an active period for the uniform team and agents. Drafts, trades, and recruiting stars, most of the things have to be completed in the summer.

The main lineup of the Grizzlies has not changed much. Li Chongxiao is still in the contract period, and the cooperation between the two parties is also very pleasant, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

Gasol, Battier and Conley have all completed contract extensions with the team and will play until 2016.

Gasol's rookie contract is 2+2, and the team announced that it will implement the team option.After Li Chongxiao became famous, many second-round picks also won such contracts.

Among the main substitutes, except for Lowry who jumped out of the contract in advance and left the Toronto Raptors, other players like Big Ben, Brewer, and Pulzbila will stay.

The Grizzlies also added a guard at the right time, selecting Greivis Vasquez from the University of Maryland with the 28th overall pick in the first round.

This summer, many teams have changed a lot, and the Rockets are the first to enter the reconstruction.The contract they gave McGrady was only 3000 million for three years. This insulting offer made McGrady go away directly and accepted the Knicks' offer of 7000 million for five years.

The Rockets selected Wesley Johnson with the fourth overall pick, and Morey said he would develop him into the next Li Chongxiao.

The Knicks not only brought McGrady, but also switched to Stoudemire, and the reconstruction was completed in an instant.Not only that, but they also flirted with Anthony and hooked up with each other.

Of course, these transactions are supporting roles, and the real protagonist is James. After losing to the Celtics Big Three for three consecutive years, the little emperor really couldn't bear it and chose to join the Heat.

Wade, plus Bosh who joined before, two top ten MVPs in his playing years; James, this season's MVP, and the Heat formed a super luxurious lineup, and suddenly became the biggest favorite for the championship.

Li Chongxiao knew that James would leave a long time ago, because he received a call from the other party after the finals.In addition to congratulations, James also asked Li Chongxiao about his feelings and details after changing teams.

The phone call lasted nearly two hours, and Li Chongxiao told the other party a lot. He always thought that James would go to the Bulls or the Knicks, but he didn't expect that he would take a "shortcut", let alone announce it through a national live broadcast.

Isn't this a public execution?Li Chongxiao felt a little sympathetic to the poor Cavaliers fans. They were probably like a man who carefully prepared a candlelight dinner, but knew from TV that he was being cuckolded.

James joining the Heat will definitely lead to the rapid decline of the Cavaliers.The configuration of this team is completely built according to James' characteristics. It is like a house built on a load-bearing column. If the load-bearing column is removed, the house will definitely collapse.

This is the shortcoming of superstar basketball, but all teams enjoy it.Only superstars can guarantee a record, as evidenced by Li Chongxiao's victory over the Celtics.

There are so many teams pursuing James because Li Chongxiao made people truly realize how far personal abilities can go.

The composition of the Heat's Big Three will have greater influence.This is the first of its kind, if they win the championship, it is estimated that the atmosphere of the entire league will inevitably slide to the report group.

After James left, O'Neal also announced his retirement immediately.In the series with the Celtics in the playoffs, his poor performance was one of the main reasons for the team's loss.

This season is the last year of his big contract. No team is willing to offer more than 300 million contracts, and no team is willing to sign him for two years.

Anyway, he had already scored [-] points in his career, and he had nothing to desire, so he simply went home and enjoyed life.

……

This year Li Chongxiao's training camp was not launched, mainly because of the task of the World Championships this year.As early as when he participated in the Olympics, he promised to participate in this World Championships.

Not only that, but through his father, he also sponsored the training expenses for this game, and brought the men's basketball team to Los Angeles for training. Yao Ming has joined the team after playing in the Western Conference Finals.

After the championship celebration, Li Chongxiao rushed to the arena and joined in.

Li Chongxiao didn't rush to practice with the team, but slowly adjusted his state, observed the situation of his teammates on the sidelines, and then started to join in.

Jonas retired after leading the team to win the Olympic runner-up, and the head coach is the newly appointed Deng Huade.

There are also old and new players among the players, led by Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming, followed by Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Ding Jinhui, Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhaoxu, Wang Shipeng, Jin Lipeng and Guo Ailun.

The team has been training until August 8th before going to Istanbul collectively.

……

This year's World Championships can be described as bleak. Take the U.S. team as an example. Compared with the situation where the Dream Eight team couldn't get in, this year's position is more than one notch behind.

There is only one Chandler at the center, followed by Love and Odom.Small forward Durant is the team's biggest star, followed by Iguodala, Granger, Gay, Billups, Eric Gordon, Rose, Westbrook and Curry.

This starlight is far worse than that of the Huaxia team. Just one Li Chongxiao can overwhelm the entire lineup, not to mention another FMVP Yao Ming.

And not only Kobe, James and other American superstars collectively missed appointments, but even the core players of teams from various countries such as Parker, Ginobili, Nowitzki did not participate in the battle due to various reasons.

If Li Chongxiao hadn't agreed to participate, there wouldn't have been much attention in the entire event.

The Huaxia team was assigned to Group C, with Lithuania, Russia, Greece, Puerto Rico and Côte d'Ivoire.

The first game was against the Greek team led by Jonas, friendship back to friendship, but Li Chongxiao would not hold back.An easy victory, and then the momentum was overwhelming, with 5 wins and 0 losses to qualify for the top of the group.

None of the other teams caused any difficulties for the Chinese team, but the Lithuanian team was a bit more difficult to play. Their overall cooperation made the Huaxia team's perimeter defense open, and the situation was stalemate for a while.Later, Li Chongxiao, who was suppressing his desire to shoot, couldn't stand it any longer. He took over the game in the third quarter, played a frenzy of offense, and led the team to victory.

In the quarter-finals, they met the No.4 French team in Group D. The French team without Parker was naturally not very competitive, and the Huaxia team easily passed.

Then they defeated the Slovenian team in the quarter-finals and the strong team Sevilla in the semi-finals. The Huaxia team relied on the abilities of Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming to win.

These few games have completely exposed the shortcomings of the Huaxia team's lack of point guards.

Liu Wei's old problems can basically not be corrected. The 17-year-old rookie Guo Ailun is a player that everyone has high hopes for, but there are also many problems.As a defender, he has poor vision, average organizational skills, and likes offense more than organization.And his offensive ability may be good among young players. If compared with international players, he seems to be able to break through and shoot poorly.

Li Chongxiao told him a lot of problems during training, telling him to work hard as a point guard, pass the ball, and practice shooting. I don't know if he can listen to it.

According to Guo Ailun's physical fitness, he still has a chance to enter the NBA as a point guard, and he basically doesn't have to think about it as a shooting guard.But the problem in the CBA is that many of the balls passed out cannot be turned into assists. It is better to score by yourself and get a good-looking statistic.

Li Chongxiao is not his uncle, so he fulfilled his duty as a senior by just mentioning it. He is willing to listen like Yi Jianlian, who has secured his position as the main power forward of the Kings, with an average of 15+8 per game.If you don't want to listen, it will be annoying if you talk too much.
