The older superstars of the NBA

More than half a month has passed since the key battle of g6 in the nba finals.

The nba has finally entered the offseason.

The players who have worked hard all season also choose to take a vacation to relax at this time.And those teams that were eliminated in the regular season also took this opportunity to go to the summer league to discover available new players, trying to prepare for the next season.

Zhao Feiyang was also not idle. Of course, he would not play in the summer league to earn a contract like ordinary players. Instead, he chose to relax on the beach in Miami with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Today he and LeBron James are both free agents.

The latter just issued a statement a few days ago that he will jump out of the last year of the Heat's contract.

In this way, either the Heat spend a lot of money to continue to renew his contract, or the Heat can only let LeBron James enter the free market.

LeBron James, who has won his third championship ring, is in full swing. No matter where he chooses to go, it will definitely be explosive news for the entire league.

His departure or stay will definitely affect the entire free market.

In short, the initiative is completely in the hands of LeBron James.

And Zhao Feiyang himself, faced with offers from no less than 5 teams, did not make an immediate choice, but decided to rest for a period of time to recover his physical condition.

Even a great man like LeBron James can't stand it for a whole season, let alone his physical fitness is not as good as LeBron James'.

During the vacation time, agent David Stock also kept calling Zhao Feiyang, informing him of offers from various clubs.

Among them, the most sincere one is the Houston Rockets. The other party not only offered quite generous conditions, but also expressed their willingness to support other Chinese players to play in the Rockets' Development League, and to carry out various cooperation with China.

In addition, the Golden State Warriors, who had contacted Zhao Feiyang before, raised their offer again.

The other party specially offered a three-year 3 million contract in an attempt to lure Zhao Feiyang over.Although they already have Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in their team, the team still needs to ensure the combat effectiveness of the second team.

They only reached the first round of the playoffs last season, but this does not mean that they will not have any chances in the following time.

The Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly the most special existence among these chasers.

After Zhao Feiyang's performance, the current Lakers regretted it a lot. Right after the finals, they fired Byron Scott and sent Steven Scott to the Development League.

This move was a little impulsive, but it was undoubtedly an expression of his attitude to Zhao Feiyang. As long as he was willing to return to the Lakers, the Lakers could first send away those people he hated.

In addition, the Lakers also offered a three-year offer of 3 million yuan, and promised that Zhao Feiyang would be the second core besides Kobe Bryant, and would also guarantee his starting position. It overlaps with Kobe Bryant's position, and they hope that Zhao Feiyang can play the No. 3000 position.

Not to mention Zhao Feiyang, even agent David Stock could see these remarks very clearly. The Lakers said they wanted Zhao Feiyang to play the No. But he didn't dare to offend Kobe Bryant.

As for whether Steven Scott will be fired in the end, as long as Zhao Feiyang compromises and returns to Los Angeles, these things may not necessarily be carried out.

Of course, firing Byron Scott will still happen.

This guy has had a really bad season with his team!Even without Kobe Bryant, that is by no means a reason to play so poorly!

After some thought, Zhao Feiyang also made a formal decision to meet with these teams separately before returning to China to participate in the national team competition, and then formally make a decision on which team to join next season.

at the same time.

China.

Yangcheng.

City Center Stadium.

When Zhao Feiyang was on vacation on the beach, an important match of the Stankovic Cup Intercontinental Basketball Tournament was being held here.

The Stankovic Cup Intercontinental Basketball Tournament is one of the highest-level official international competitions held in China.

Initiated by Dr. Cheng Wanqi, Chairman of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), it is a competition named after Stankovic in recognition of FIBA ​​Secretary-General Stankovic's contribution to the development of international basketball.

Of course, the above is the official explanation.

In layman's terms, in order to help the Huaxia men's basketball team warm up, the official of the Huaxia Basketball Association specially spent money to invite some teams to play a warm-up match.

In fact, when the first Stankovic Cup Championship was held in 2005, there were quite a few teams participating.

At that time, the event had the strong support of FIBA ​​and Li Yuanwei, the spokesperson of the Basketball Association, the official background endorsement, and four levels of sponsors. It was still organized according to the model of the world's top events.

The participating teams are also the main lineups of the major national teams, and there are even some NBA players from some teams to participate.

Such a large-scale holding lasted for three sessions in total. These three sessions can be said to be the glorious moments of the Stankovic Cup.

However, after the 08 Olympic Games, as China's domestic investment and emphasis on sports gradually showed a decreasing trend, the Stankovic Cup became increasingly lonely.

Later, the participating teams were either the main players, or improvised teams, or even sent the youth team to the competition.

The strength of the participating teams will cause a vicious circle after moisture.

More strong teams are no longer coming, and sponsors are unwilling to continue to invest money. The prize money of the Stankovic Cup was initially 10 US dollars, but later it was reduced to only 3 US dollars, even if the player selected as the best team player of the event , but only $1000 in prize money.

More importantly, this event is not a regular game of FIBA, and cannot allow more teams to change the world ranking through points.

As a result, the Stankovic Cup, which gradually became tasteless, no longer received the same attention at the beginning.

Nevertheless, in order to be able to experience the Huaxia men's basketball team well this time and let them enter the state earlier, the Basketball Association officially invited several teams to participate in the competition.

This game is the first game of the Stankovic Cup, which can also be called the opening game.

The participating teams are the Chinese men's basketball team and the Philippine men's basketball team.

Like the Huaxia men's basketball team, the Philippine men's basketball team also successfully qualified for the World Cup with the help of naturalized players.

Such a warm-up match, to a certain extent, can indeed help the Huaxia men's basketball team to warm up.

However, no one expected that before the game, it seemed that the Huaxia men's basketball team could win the game steadily. From the beginning of the first half, they stumbled, and in the second half, they were led by the nose and kept counterattacking.

The naturalized European foreign aid of the Philippine team is not very famous. At least before this game, many people did not know who these foreign aid were.

It happened that such a few foreign aids made the men's basketball team of the national team unable to fight back.

In the last 1 minute and 30 minutes of the game, the score between the Philippine men's basketball team and the Huaxia men's basketball team was 83 to 70. The 13-point gap can almost declare the "death penalty" of the game. This is not the NBA, the rules are also FIBA, there are not so many Miraculously, there are not so many individual performances that can be staged.

Not to mention 13 points, even if it is only 10 points, it may be difficult to really reverse it with only this little time left.

The team's new coach, Ma Lei, had a livid face. During the timeout, he often put on an appearance of "hate iron but not steel" to reprimand these players.

"Screw you!"

"I can't even beat a Filipino team. Didn't I just naturalize two or three players? What's the big deal? Is this cowardly?"

"With your style of play, I'm afraid you can't play without those two or three naturalized players..."

"On weekdays, there are all kinds of bullshit, thinking that I am great, I don't practice well in training, and even talk back to me... I think I am a first-class star in the league... .As a result, it really fell off the chain in the international league... now you understand what level you are?"

Ma Lei was not polite at all.

As the new head coach of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, he got this position only through Xin Guotao's relationship.

Originally, the national team decided to find Yang Shuai to be the head coach, but after searching, either the opponent Lion opened up and returned all kinds of demands, or the opponent waved his hands repeatedly when he heard that it was the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.

This also made the high-level executives of the Basketball Association in charge of this matter finally decide to find their own person to be the team coach. Anyway, they will lose. Spend tens of millions to find a foreign coach to win a game or two more than using their own people to lose a game or two. What's the difference?

After some searching, it was finally determined that Ma Lei would be the team's new coach.

On the one hand, he has the support of Xin Guotao, and his background is relatively solid; on the other hand, he himself has coached a team in the CBA, so he does not lack professional experience. A line of glowing heat.

Judging from the resume alone, he is indeed one of the people who is eligible to be selected as the head coach.

However, Ma Lei has a bad temper and always likes to reprimand his players, which makes his relationship with most of the team not very good.

But he doesn't care, he doesn't care, and he doesn't intend to maintain the so-called relationship.

This time he played as the head coach. No matter what the players think or think about him, they can only obey his words, and it is impossible to confront him head-on.

No one would do that, and no one would dare to do that.

After some reprimands, the players all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. Even Yi Jianlian, who is the core of the team, did not dare to refute. He could only shut his mouth wisely and be silent with the others.

After the timeout ended, the core players of both sides reappeared.

In the next few minutes, no miracle really happened. The Huaxia men's basketball team successfully lost to the Philippine team. Although the difference was only 10 points, it still broke the defense of countless Huaxia fans at the scene.

As soon as the game ended, the audience was full of curses, and some of the angry fans even took out their mineral water bottles and threw them at the passing players in the player tunnel.

This move also caused confusion at the scene.

The disastrous defeat in the first game also successfully sent the Huaxia men's basketball team to the hot search list, instantly attracting countless firepower to ridicule them.
