NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

The excellent performance of Li Kaiming, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian immediately became a hot topic of discussion among Huaguo fans after the game.

Especially the progress shown by the latter two people on the court made Huaguo fans begin to feel that maybe it is not a good choice to be in a corner, and seize the opportunity to exercise on a higher platform, and there will be visible improvements to the naked eye.

At the post-match press conference, Wizards head coach Saunders also praised Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian in front of many reporters. The Wizards' current lineup is obviously short of people, especially outside. If Sun Yue can seize the opportunity, At least he can have a stable playing time in Sanders' system.

As for Yi Jianlian, it is even more special. He is the only player in the Wizards inside who can shoot out of the penalty area except for Li Kaiming. After experiencing a few games with five-out lineups, Sanders sensitively felt the advanced nature of this tactical system. So he has begun to gradually increase the role of Yi Jianlian in training, and he already wants to carry forward this tactic in the Wizards.

Compared with the Wizards' post-game press conference, the media paid more attention to the Knicks' post-game summary of the home game.

After the game, Stoudemire left the game directly without signaling to the Wizards players. It seems that he felt very uncomfortable about the loss of the game.

Fortunately, Stoudemire appeared in the post-match press conference, which didn't make the reporters feel empty.

The Knicks coach D'Antoni was the first to be interviewed. Facing the reporter's question, D'Antoni smiled wryly and said with emotion, "I've never seen a team with five players who can shoot three-pointers all-around. The lineup, and then beat us with three-pointers. Even the Phoenix Suns who played the run-and-gun tactics, I have never, never used such insane tactics, Sanders is crazy!"

The reporter asked again, "Then what do you think of Li Kaiming, the No. [-] pick of the Wizards?"

D'Antoni spoke more sincerely. The other party beat his own home to garbage time, and it was meaningless to belittle the other party. "This guy is really a genius. I can't imagine what he can achieve in the future. Maybe the sky is the sky." His limit."

After that, the reporter interviewed Stoudemire again. Stoudemire has not recovered until now. This offseason, he came to the Knicks not because he wanted to collect data. He has already passed the age of collecting data. Now He wants a championship more.

But after this game, the Knicks' current record is a poor 2 wins and 3 losses, and they are on the verge of the playoffs. This is completely different from what he thought when he came to the Knicks.

After Stoudemire answered a few words perfunctorily, the post-match press conference ended.

After finishing the post-match interview, everyone in the Wizards immediately packed their bags and headed home. The next night, the Wizards will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the MCI Center at home. It is a time to squeeze out a little rest in the tense schedule.

Huaguo, Huadu.

The conflict between Han Yinzhi and Liang Zhen had been brought to the fore, and Huaguo's basketball scene immediately fell into turmoil, and more and more people were involved in this turmoil.

The naturalization of a foreign player for the national team does not mean that a certain person can make the decision with a slap on the head. Even if this person has enough rights, the consequences of naturalization are not borne by the person who makes the decision alone. It is the responsibility of the upper management, mainly the Sports Bureau and the Basketball Association.

So even though Liang Zhen is the current bureau chief, logically speaking, he is the person with the most power, but he has no way to make a speech on this matter, and he didn't have the idea of ​​making a speech in the first place.

So, naturally, a meeting to discuss whether to naturalize Li Kaiming was held in a secret conference room in Huadu.

At the meeting, the main representatives of the two parties were the naturalization faction headed by Liang Zhen and the naturalization faction headed by Liu Li, chairman of the Basketball Association.

Of course, Liu Li is just a spokesperson introduced by Han Yinzhi. Everyone in the meeting knows that the biggest backer of the opposition is Han Yinzhi. As long as he can persuade the latter, this matter will become as smooth as using Kaiserlu for constipation. slip.

Naturally, Han Yinzhi was also sitting in the conference room. In the huge conference room, dozens of people were clearly divided into two factions, and sat down separately in front of an oval conference table.

There are relatively few people on Han Yinzhi's side, but the old man still holds his head high, showing no weakness at all.

Fatty Liu Li, on the other hand, saw that his side was only two-thirds of the people on the other side, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

Liang Zhen was in the middle, with a slight smile, announcing the start of the meeting. One of Han Yin came up and fired first.

"I don't think so. Our Huaguo basketball has never been short of talents. It's just that our training system is not advanced enough. This is limited by the country's economic development, not because our system is backward. In the next few years, as long as our economic level Keeping up, training a large number of NBA-level players is not a problem at all, but naturalizing foreign players, similar to drinking poison to quench thirst. Now that Huaguo basketball has declined, we immediately think about naturalization. Why can't we start by improving our training system? Naturalizing a player will not make our basketball rise, but if we fail to achieve good results, it will become a joke of others!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of noise. Even the side that supported the naturalization of Li Kaiming, many people nodded. It seemed that they were moved by Han Yinzhi's words.

On the opposition side, Liu Li saw that Mr. Han was pressing and beating the opponent as soon as he came up, and he immediately let go of his suspense a lot, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot, and expressed his attitude.

"Mr. Han is right. As the chairman of the Basketball Association, I think we should gradually improve our training system instead of short-sightedly naturalizing existing ones. Our country is not an immigrant country like America. Focus on self-cultivation..."

Fatty Liu is best at beating dogs in the water. Hearing what Liu Li said, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming who were sitting on the other side sneered.

That's not what Chairman Liu said in Director Liang's office back then.

But now is not the time for them to talk. Although these two people have a relatively high status in the national team, they are considered the smallest shrimps in this conference room, so it is not their turn to speak for the time being.

The speeches of the two giants from the opposition side immediately made the entire conference room fall into silence.

On the Naturalization faction, a group of people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one could stand up and refute Han Yinzhi's point of view, or no one dared to refute.

Han Yinzhi's influence in China's basketball world can be perfectly interpreted by the phrase "a centipede, dead but not stiff."

Even though he is no longer in position, many people are still a little afraid of him.

Seeing this, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming who were sitting in the corner looked at each other, and they both saw anxiety in each other's eyes.

Both of them are staunch supporters of naturalization. Seeing that no one on their side dared to speak out, they were naturally a little impatient.

Just when everyone thought that this meeting would become a classic battle of Han Yinzhi winning more with less, a light cough came from the middle of the conference table, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Han Yinzhi also followed the sound, and when he saw the face of the person who made the sound, his expression darkened instantly.

Are you still going to fight me after all?

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Liang Zhen smiled lightly, "Hehe, what Mr. Han and Chairman Liu said makes sense, and I also have a little insight that I want to share with you all. one time."

Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming in the corner saw Liang Zhen finally stand up, their faces flushed with excitement, if not for the fact that there are too many important people here, they would probably have jumped up and clapped their fists!

After Liang Zhen was polite, he didn't wait for other people to respond to him, but directly began to explain his point of view, which made Han Yinzhi, who was about to choke him, swallowed the words again, his old face flushed from holding back, and he felt sorry for Liang Zhen in his heart. However, Zhen's hatred deepened.

Liang Zhen looked around, scanned everyone's faces, and then said, "Mr. Han is right. Our basketball training system is indeed backward. There are many areas for improvement. This is also the focus of our future work. But improving There is no conflict between our training system and naturalized foreign players to improve the strength of the national team. Why must these two be opposed? Can't I use naturalized players to improve the current strength, and then At the same time, improve the training system and enhance the strength of the national team in the future? In my eyes, these two options are not either-or at all, but a clever way to improve the strength of our national team by cooperating with each other."

After a pause, Liang Zhen continued, "Besides, we are not just naturalizing a foreign player. Our goal is only Li Kaiming. He is the player who best meets our requirements. He is completely Chinese and has enough basketball skills. Isn't this ours? The best choice? If there is no player like Li Kaiming, I will definitely not support naturalization!"

When these well-founded statements were presented, the entire meeting room fell into silence immediately.

Most of the people were thinking with their heads down, only Han Yin had an ugly expression on his face.

As soon as he came up, he directly raised the matter of naturalization to the height of the future of Huaguo basketball, in order to oppose the matter of naturalization of Li Kaiming and the development of Huaguo basketball.

Such an argument seems to be very reasonable and very provocative, but as long as you study it carefully, you will find that Han Yinzhi's debate is not tenable at all.

Liang Zhen came prepared today, he had already prepared a draft in his heart, and he was able to fight back any of Han Yinzhi's opinions.

Of course, Liang Zhen didn't just target Han Yin alone, he called Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming over today, just to convince these people also in terms of grades.

After a heated debate, the situation gradually reversed...

At the end of the meeting, Han Yinzhi saw that the general situation was over, but he still didn't give up, "Liang Zhen, if you naturalize Li Kaiming and fail to get the results you deserve, how can you apologize?"

Liang Zhen smiled, "What do you always want?"

Han Yinzhi snorted coldly, "If you don't get a medal in the London Olympics, then you will take the blame and resign!"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

With Yao Ming's current state, it is not certain whether he will be able to play in the London Olympics. Even if he is a half-blooded Yao Ming, the combination of peak Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian has only reached the quarterfinals. As for Mi Jian, there is no point guard at all outside China. In just two years, it is too late to train another one. It is extremely difficult to lead such a Hua Guo team to the championship!

Liang Zhen's position is something that most people will never be able to climb in their lifetime. Will he bet his career for Li Kaiming?

The entire meeting room was filled with depression. In the hearts of most people, Liang Zhen might give up.

Han Yinzhi stared at Liang Zhen's face with a cheerful smile on his face.

I don't believe that you, Liang Zhen, would give up your bright future for a foreigner you've never met!

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Liang Zhen didn't hesitate for too long. After thinking for a while, he smiled slightly, "Okay, I promise you!"

Han Yinzhi's eyes widened...

How can it be?
