Chapter 807 NBA Season 9

The Chinese men's basketball team won the championship by defeating the dream team. There is no doubt about its gold content, and it is the new king of the Olympic men's basketball competition.Ying Xiong, on the other hand, used this Olympic Games to prove to the world that he is not only dominant in the CBA and NBA, but also the most incomprehensible existence in the international arena.

In the ensuing award presentation, all the members of the Chinese men's basketball team stood on the highest podium with gold medals around their necks, and once again shed tears on the spot amid the solemn national anthem.

The players of the American Dream Team, standing on the lower silver medal podium, looked somewhat embarrassed and frustrated.For them, not winning the championship means failure.Although James, Curry and other top league superstars did not participate in this Olympic Games, the dream team composed of top league superstars such as Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, etc. is not the kind to come and go "America's Second Team".

The success of a team or an individual, without an excellent opponent as a foil, will naturally appear to be insufficient in gold content and quality. The Dream Team is naturally the best foil for the Chinese men's basketball team to win gold.

Compared with the frequent gold medals in table tennis and diving, the shock of the Chinese national team winning gold in the field of basketball is naturally more intense.Rare things are more expensive!
On August 8, the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games ushered in the closing ceremony, and the current Olympic Games officially came to an end.

On August 8, the NBA Los Angeles Lakers announced through the team's official website that they have officially signed a contract with Chinese men's basketball player Yi Jianlian.And Yi Jianlian will also return to the NBA after a lapse of 23 years.

Lakers general manager Kupchak also gave Yi Jianlian a high evaluation after the signing was completed.In the details of the contract revealed later, the contract amount is US$800 million a year, the base salary is US$1139123, of which only US$25 is guaranteed, and the maximum contract bonus can reach US$6860877.

After Ying Xiong learned the news, he immediately sent congratulations to Yi Jianlian.He knows why the NBA pays attention to Yi Jianlian, because Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance in the just-concluded Olympic Games has attracted the attention of all NBA teams.

Ying Xiong lamented Yi Jianlian's bravery, daring to jump out of his comfort zone and fight in the NBA after 4 years.It takes a lot of courage and it's not easy to do.But he also knows that the Lakers also have backers for this contract.One is that the contract period is only one year, and only 1 US dollars is guaranteed, which means that once they lay off Yi Jianlian, the remaining salary of more than 25 million yuan will not be available to the United Arab Emirates.

After the Olympic Games and the celebration banquet, Ying Xiong filmed another public service advertisement in China. At the beginning of September, he returned to the United States to prepare for the new season.

Yingxiong's Hero series basketball shoes are the best-selling signature shoes in the world.Throughout the offseason, Nike has been working on the design and development of his 5th generation signature shoe "HeroV", with a view to coming out before the preseason of the new season.

The 2016-2017 season will be the ninth season of Yingxiong's NBA career. This season he will work hard for the team's 9 consecutive championships.

After all, the Raptors' current lineup is balanced, and different lineup combinations can be arranged.The team's current lineup is as follows: center - Yonas Valanciunas, Jacob Poeltl, Lucas Nogueira, power forward - Patrick Patterson, Pascal Siakam, Jared Sullinger, small forwards - DeMar DeRozan, Terrence Ross, shooting guards - Ying Xiong, Norman Powell, Delon Wright, point guards - Jeremy Lin, Kyle Lowry, Fred Van Vleet.

其中第3控卫弗雷德范弗利特参加了2016年NBA选秀，但没有被球队选中。之后，他代表猛龙队参加了拉斯维加斯夏季联赛，场均上场16分钟得到6.2分3篮板及1.6助攻。7月19日，球队宣布签约弗雷德范弗利特。合同为期两年价值145万美元，其中2016-2017赛季部分保障、2017-2018赛季无保障。

The Raptors have Jeremy Lin and Lowry at position 1, as well as a combo guard Deron Wright. Naturally, they will not invest a lot of salary in this position. Van Vleet, as a Losing the draft is equivalent to a low-value lottery ticket. With such a low price, the risk is not big, and there is still a chance to find a treasure.

The backup power forward Sullinger was signed by the Raptors with a mini middle class on July 7. As a strong No. 12 with tonnage, signing him can deal with some special players of the team, such as Griffin , such as Black Bear Randolph and so on.The team's previous two No. 4s, Patterson and rookie Siakam, are both dexterous insiders, and it is easy to suffer when encountering those powerful and tonnage insiders.

而8号秀泰伦斯罗斯在去年的11月3日与球队签下一份为期3年，总价值为2300万美元的续约合同。对于这名运动能力极强的3D侧翼，球队对他还是寄予不小的期望的。

The Raptors' lineup has superstars, all-stars and depth, and the lineup is young and has reserves. It is the healthiest state of the championship team, but their lineup is still not as good as the Golden State Warriors who just harvested Durant.But with Yingxiong, they will not be afraid of any team.

In the new NBA season, theoretically there are 3 Chinese players who will appear in the NBA arena, namely Ying Xiong, Yi Jianlian, and Zhou Qi (signed officially on July 7, the contract is 8 million U.S. dollars for 4 years, with a starting annual salary of about for $557).And Wang Zhelin did not sign with the Grizzlies, so he will not appear in the NBA in the new season.

Ying Xiong is still looking forward to the upcoming new season, and he is also very happy to see more and more Chinese players appearing in the NBA.

The Raptors' first preseason game will be at home against the Golden State Warriors on October 10.

Before the start of the season, "Whether Ying Xiong can lead the Raptors to five consecutive championships" became a hot topic among fans and the media.Because Durant joined the Golden State Warriors, people are more interested in this topic.There are those who support the Raptors and the Warriors, which keeps the enthusiasm on this topic in the market.

In addition, the remarks on "whether Ying Xiong can surpass Jordan" have once again become a hot topic.For this reason, Scottie Pippen, the NBA star and the hero of the Bulls' consecutive championships, said in an acceptance program: "Even if Ying Xiong wins 5 more championships, he will not be able to catch up with Michael Jordan!"

After all, Pippen is a celebrity. As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately discussed in the circle, and it naturally reached Ying Xiong's ears.

When a reporter interviewed Ying Xiong on this topic at an endorsement event, Ying Xiong did not shy away: "I think Scotty thinks I have the opportunity to compare with Michael, and I feel quite relieved. However, I want to be the first One Yingxiong, no need for a second Michael! Also, Michael's height will never catch up with me (laughs)!"

Ying Xiong's response made this topic hot again, but few people thought there was anything wrong with what he said.It is true that Jordan's height will never catch up with him, and he is indeed qualified to say such things.
