The Fifth Point Guard

   Chapter 591 Heavy! Yao Ming signs with the Lakers (4.2k)

  Shentong gained a lot in 2006.

  NBA achieved the MVP Grand Slam and won the NBA championship, and then led the Chinese men’s basketball team to the championship at the World Championships in Japan.

  Prosperous in his career, he also married the pregnant little wife Nina Dobrev.

  If we still need to set a goal now, it is self-breakthrough.

  From an individual point of view, Shentong's strength has ranked first among the top five shooting guards.

  On the whole, after two consecutive championships, the Cavaliers need to challenge the three consecutive championships to achieve the Cavaliers era.

  Moreover, many of the teams participating in the World Championships this time are not the strongest lineups in each country.

  In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, many teams have already pointed to the championship.

  Before the Chinese team was dark, many teams may take it lightly, but now the Chinese team, who has won the championship, wants to achieve a higher glory than the third place in the Beijing Olympics. It is not small.

  The US team has declared that they will select the best NBA lineup to form Mengba, a shame before the first blood.

  Spain, Germany and other tycoons also claimed to add players through some special means to supplement the strength of the lineup.

  The conference ended, and the selection of the best lineup was also produced.

  Best lineup:

   Center: Yao Ming (China)

  Although the top card of the Chinese men's basketball team is Shentong, Yao Ming, as the inside line of the men's basketball team, plays a role that cannot be ignored.

  The restraint on the inside line can share the pressure of Shentong facing double defense on the offensive end.

  Average 21.3 points is also tied with Pau Gasol for third place in the scoring list.

  Although the Spanish team’s Gasol performed very well, the Chinese team made history, so Yao Ming is the best center forward in this tournament.

  Power forward: Georg Gabayosa (Spain)

  The big man who can inside and out is an indispensable inside player for the Spanish team. Although the team's status is not as good as Gasol, his performance is not limited to the offensive end.

  Defensively, he can make up for Gasol's gap in time and is very tough at the basket.

  Similar in style to Bargnani, the Italian No. 1 pick signed by the Raptors in this year's draft, and has a very rich experience in the game.

  Small forward: Carmelo Anthony (United States)

  The US team finally won the third place in the World Championships, no better than the Olympic results two years ago, but his performance was in teammates James and Wade.

  After the end of the World Championships, Anthony was the highest score among the players representing the Dream Seven team as judged by major US media.

  He scored a personal highest 35 points in the history of the US team in the World Championships against Italy, breaking the 34-point record held by Kenny Anderson.

  Shooting guard: Shen Tong (China)

  The omnipotent Asian flying man.

  He is no longer as simple as a player, but a phenomenon.

  Under his leadership, the Chinese men’s basketball team has been reborn, not just a participant who often shows up in world competitions.

  They have become contenders for the world championship.

  In the 2008 Olympics, everyone expected him to lead the Chinese men’s basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal.

  Point guard: Papalokas (Greece)

  He proved his worth in the World Championships.

  Although Spanoulis has had several outstanding performances, he is the real core and soul of the Greek team.

  Papalocas tried his best in the final. He scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 4 of 8 shots.

  Greece was able to reach the finals, he was indispensable.

  After the selection of the best player lineup, the best coach was also revealed.

  Chinese coach Yunas with a smile on his face won the Morton Ballon d'Or, which is the best coach of the World Championships.

  As the coach who led Greece to the European championship and led China to win the World Championships, Yunus's value has risen sharply again.

  After the successful conclusion of the World Championships, Shentong did something very beneficial to Chinese basketball.

  At the press conference after winning the championship, Shentong announced that it would set up a special sub-fund from the Shen Fund to cultivate talents for the youth teams of major colleges and universities who love basketball.

"I have always believed that there are hundreds of millions of young people who love basketball in our country. In addition to those who have been trained in professional teams, there are actually many young people who are talented and love basketball on the field. I think basketball is the sport of training alone. What is not enough, what is needed more is talent and enthusiasm, so I hope to give Chinese young people more opportunities and choices, so that more basketball talents can be discovered and promote the improvement of Chinese basketball."

  At the same time, in order to encourage more grassroots youth to have the opportunity to enter the professional field, Shentong has increased its investment in the game "Basketball Warriors".

This doujin VR competitive game jointly developed by China, the United States, Japan and South Korea helps to improve the basketball professional awareness of young players. Through various game levels, they have a comprehensive and profound understanding of basketball from 0 to 1 and learn. Various techniques and tactics, in a form similar to an after-school tutoring class, improve the youth's basketball awareness and basketball training.

  The new NBA season will reignite the war.

  One day, a blockbuster news suddenly blasted the Internet.

   "Heavy! The news of "Yao Ming Signing with the Lakers" was viewed by hundreds of millions of people in one day and immediately became a hot topic of the day.

  Yao Ming, whose contract expired last season, averaged 22.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and was also selected to the league's best team three teams.

  This year, Yao Ming is only 25 years old. He has not yet reached his peak, but he already has the posture of the league's first center in the future.

  Strength coupled with the Chinese market behind it, countless teams chasing Yao Ming.

  In addition to the Rockets, the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams are all very interested in signing Yao Ming.

  Spurs coach Popovich once publicly stated that he likes coaching players like Yao Ming, because Yao Ming has the strength and he trains very hard. He appreciates such a big man.

  This sentence, Lakers coach Phil Jackson also said the same.

  But the Lakers are obviously more sincere.

  After losing O'Neal two years ago, the Lakers did not achieve the desired record under the leadership of Kobe's single core.

  In 2005, they did not make the playoffs. In 2006, Bryant averaged a staggering 35.4 points per game. Unfortunately, the Lakers were eliminated by the Suns in the first round.

  With the success of the "OK" combination, the Lakers management has a "big man feeling".

  Yao Ming partnered with Kobe, something that sounds impossible was realized in the summer of 2006.

   Kobe personally called Yao Ming and claimed that he needed Yao Ming’s help. Together, they would be able to create a glorious history that belongs to both of them.

  Yao Ming was actually hesitant, but the advice given by Shentong completely dispelled Yao Ming's thoughts.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, what do you think? Don't think about picking your nose or blowing or sucking. The two of them are not the key to this thing. The real key is yourself. You just have to think about why you played for the Rockets for four years. You still have McGrady by your side, but you still hesitate to go to the Lakers. In fact, you already have the answer in your heart. Don’t do things that go against your heart because of the outside world. Do what you want to do, and leave others. Tell others to go!"

  It is these words from Shentong that made Yao Ming decide to go to Los Angeles to partner with Kobe.

  Shentong: What should I do if I am too invincible? Create some opponents for yourself.

  More importantly, between teammates, there shouldn’t be knee-jerk bumps, right?

  When Yao Ming decided to join the Lakers, the fans in Los Angeles cheered!

   Clippers fan A: Strange, why do we cheer?

   Clippers fan B: Because we can also watch that big man play more!

   Clippers fan C: I am already a fan of the Lakers.

  In order to bring Yao Ming to Los Angeles, the Lakers are also very empty.

  As early as 2004 when O'Neal left, the Lakers were preparing to recruit Yao Ming to Los Angeles.

  O'Neal traveled east that year, Jackson also left the Lakers, and the Lakers immediately opened a five-year, $30 million contract to Yao Ming’s mentor Tomjanovich.

  One of the purposes of this signing is to play the favor card and bring Yao Ming under his command.

  Unfortunately, in less than a year, Tang Shuai dismissed get out of class because of his record.

  However, Tang Shuai's departure did not affect the Lakers' determination to form a Kobe + Yao Ming combination.

  Last year, the Lakers contacted Yao Ming many times, and used the successful example of the OK combination to paint a good prospect.

  With Kobe’s personal lobbying and Shentong’s suggestions this summer, the Lakers finally got their wish.

  Kobe + Yao Ming, the "drug-taking" combination was officially established.

  But because this name is a little bit ambiguous, the domestic media changed it.

  "Xiongqi" combination.

   Then I found that it was more ambiguous and more earthy.

   Repeated measurement, combined with the opinions of online fans.

The   "Weapon" combination is officially born!

  Of course, the name of this group still can't change the popularity of some women of good shape.

  As far as the chest is concerned, these beauties are also very measured, only rubbing, not going in.

  The Rockets are kind to Yao Ming after all.

  So after the talks with his side, Yao Ming did not leave empty-handed.

  The Rockets took the approach of signing first and then changing, and gave Yao Ming a four-year $75 million maximum salary contract.

  The Rockets sent Yao Ming and a second round pick in exchange for the Lakers’ Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm, Aaron McGee, Jim Jackson and a first round pick.

  Yao Ming went to Los Angeles with a one-for-four plan.

  In order to welcome Yao Ming's arrival, the Lakers held a grand press conference for Yao Ming as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles and welcomed Yao Ming's arrival.

  Kobe smiled throughout the day.

  A reporter asked Kobe what he wanted to say about Yao Ming’s arrival, Kobe finally couldn’t help but opened his mouth and laughed.

"Wow, this is really amazing. Yao’s arrival is a boon for the Lakers. I believe that under my leadership and his leadership, the Lakers will stand at the pinnacle of the league again. I want to welcome his arrival with open arms, Yao, My brother, welcome! I'll take you to try my favorite Mexican food in a while, and I don't take him to the average person."

  Jackson also laughed from ear to ear.

  Yao Ming is too suitable for this Lakers team, to be precise, too suitable for Kobe.

  O'Neal in the Lakers era is indeed stronger than Yao Ming in terms of interior dominance, but because of his personal discord with Kobe, the internal atmosphere of the Lakers locker room has not been harmonious.

  This kind of team atmosphere of face-to-heart disharmony has also added too many problems to Jackson's coaching.

  Now because of the failure of the Shark O’Neal to lead the team alone, Kobe has matured a lot, no longer completely centered on himself, and cherishes Jackson's coaching style more.

  And Yao Ming has strength, good attitude, diligent training and high emotional intelligence.

A big man like    is simply a player Jackson dreamed of, and he is also very suitable for a player like Kobe.

   "Yao's arrival has renewed the restlessness in my heart. I seem to be more eager than Kobe and hope that the new season will start soon."

  The whole audience laughed.

  The reporter asked Jackson: "Phil, do you think the Lakers have a chance to win this year?"

"Why not?"

When the reporter asked Yao Ming, the big man said: “It’s really difficult to leave Houston, but I believe I can achieve better results and honors in Los Angeles. For Kobe, he is a fighter. A partner, our goals are very consistent. I remember when I participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in 2003, when I was selected as the starter for the Western Conference All-Stars, there were few stars to say hello to me, but Kobe took the initiative to fight I greeted me and squeezed my shoulders to relax me, and sang the song "Yao Ming's Song". At that time, I felt that Kobe must be a very good teammate and partner. This also prompted me to come. One of the reasons here."

  This press conference is simply a two-person show between Yao Ming and Kobe.

After Yao Ming left, McGrady also revealed the idea of ​​leaving the Houston Rockets.

  As for O’Neal, who is far in the east, there is a hint of sourness in his words.

"Kobe and Yao Ming partner, I am very optimistic about them, but I don't think the two of them can replicate my dominance and glory in the Lakers. That belongs to my era. As for how they play next season, I don't care. Our opponent is in the Eastern Conference. Dwayne and I will see how to deal with Cleveland next season. As for them, let's go through the Spurs, Mavericks and Suns first."

  According to the lineup of the Lakers, enthusiastic experts have listed the starting lineup that the Lakers can discharge in the new season.

   Center: Yao Ming

  Power forward: Lamar Odom

  Small forward: Vladimir Radmanovic

  Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant

  Point guard: Smush Parker

  Inside, Andrew Bynum was still sitting. His performance in the second half of last season was impressive.

   Ronnie Turiaf and Brian Cook can also fight.

  The combination of Yao Ming and Kobe also attracted the attention of many free agents.

  The Lakers management also promised Yao Ming and Kobe that they would bring them more helpers.

  At this point, the era of almost a quarter of the West is officially established~www.ltnovel.com~The Lakers, Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks have become the first team in the West.

  The remaining Western Conference teams are unable to pose a threat to them.

  Eastern, the Cavaliers are unique.

  The only thing that can pose a threat to the Cavaliers is the Heat.

  The Pistons have been unable to pose a threat to the Cavaliers and even the Heat because of Ben Wallace’s departure.

  For Wallace’s departure, many Pistons fans were shocked. After all, fans believed that Wallace’s departure from the Pistons would be of no benefit to both parties.

  But the Pistons management did hurt the heart of the two-time best defender.

  The Pistons provided Wallace with a four-year $48 million contract and made it clear that this offer is the bottom line and there is no negotiation.

  This disrespectful attitude made Wallace choose to sign with the Bulls.

  $52 million in 4 years.

  "This is not just a question of money, but more importantly, respect." Wallace said.
