Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Is this a ruthless trick?

It must be ruthless!

But Yao Ming can't help it. If he doesn't play harder, Alexander won't let anyone go! And even if he is so cruel, he may not be able to leave the Rockets before the start of the new season...

However, this bug was not originally used on Dawson. Yao Ming was originally planning to have a meeting with Alexander, and he would use it at that time. But after answering Tom's call, he changed his mind.

Dawson's deal changed the destiny of too many people. He had to pay something, such as... his position!

Yao Ming watched Bill Duffy leave. He believed that the next time Dawson called him, he would talk to him, and it should be a deal!

David Stern's methods, he was too clear.

After doing Dawson's routine, Yao Ming really put his mind on training. There is only one week left before the official opening of the Athens Olympics, and there is only one week left for the Chinese men's basketball team to run in. time.

However, it is worth mentioning that Yao Ming feels good after the three weeks of training, and the "two towers" combination formed by Wang Zhizhi and him is still quite powerful.

The only pity is that Wang Zhizhi really doesn't like physical confrontation.

In all, this is also the biggest reason why he failed to stay in the NBA.

In addition, he doesn't really like training, which is one of the reasons why he didn't stay in the NBA.

However, this can be regarded as a common phenomenon in the Chinese men’s basketball team. In the entire Chinese men’s basketball circle, there are only four people who can be called "always diligent", one is Dayao, another is Ding Yan Yuhang, and later Yi Jianlian. In addition, the "big nephew" who just debuted, except for these few, everyone else can maintain the amount of training is already regarded as "hardworking".

This is why the next head coach of China Men's Basketball Team Yunus will "Nine Questions" the origin of China Men's Basketball Team!

Speaking of this, one thing I have to mention is that Zhang Weiping's director Zhang made a strong argument through the media when Yunus "Nine Questions about the China Men's Basketball Team", but ten years later, the original China Men's Basketball Team used practical actions. It proves that Yunus's "nine questions" asked no questions at all!

But this Yao Ming doesn’t like training. It’s good for this group of guys to cooperate with him in active training this month. If he still grabs others and asks them to practice more, these guys will only think in his heart. Writing: What kind of green onion are you special! Really thought that going to the NBA was awesome? Can you force me to train?

In short, Yao Ming is already very satisfied with the current level.

Two days after Yao Ming returned to training, Bill Duffy, who had left Athens, finally arrived at the New York headquarters and gave the button recorder that had been processed to David Stern.

"You mean, as long as you are determined not to let me go, I can't go at all?"

"This is true, isn't it?"

"So, it's impossible for you to trade me?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Even if I return home?"

"Even if you return to China, we will never trade you! And...Even if you return to China, we will continue to execute your contract, so that even if the contract expires, you are a restricted player, and we can match any team giving you. Quote...Yao, seriously, you have no retreat! Unless you are not in the NBA!"

Stern listened to the contents in front of him.

Bill Duffy can clearly see that David Stern’s face becomes uglier as the content of the recording progresses, especially when Dawson said the phrase "unless you are not in the NBA", he even more It was very clear that David Stern made a very low "squeak" sound. It wasn't that he wanted to make such a sound. Maybe even David Stern didn't notice it. His mouth moved like this. .

Because he stared at the buttons the whole time, he didn't even look up at all.

This is enough to show how ups and downs David Stern's heart is at this moment!

It was not until the end of the entire recording that David Stern raised his head, and his tone was still very calm: "What does Yao mean?"

Bill Duffy replied: "Yao said that in China, trust and loyalty are very important qualities. He gave the Rockets 100% unconditional trust, but the Rockets did not do so. He can no longer trust this ball. The team can no longer play for this team. If General Manager Dawson wants to force him to stay in the NBA in this way, he would rather return to the CBA!"

"He said, it's better for jade broken, not for tile!"

David Stern heard the end quietly. He nodded and didn't say much, but Bill Duffy knew that he already understood the meaning of Yao Ming, and he didn't continue to say it, just sitting like this, waiting for the big Wei Stern gave a reply.

"I will let Yao see the change as soon as possible, but I hope he knows that it takes time!" This is the answer David Stern gave after a short silence.

Bill Duffy nodded: "Okay, Mr. President, we know this very well, and we are willing to wait as long as the final result is what we want to see!"

After speaking, he got up and prepared to leave. Since David Stern had said that he would not be able to give a satisfactory answer for a while, he didn't have much fun doing it here.

However, before he left, he took a deep look at the button, and then smiled and nodded to David Stern, then slammed the door away.

In the living room, only David Stern was left with the button recorder in front of him. Stern turned on the switch again, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice: "This idiot has indeed made too much money recently, and his head is a little faint!"

In fact, since Yao Ming was clamoring to leave the Rockets, David Stern has been paying attention to this matter, but he has not taken a shot. After all, this is just a conflict between normal players and the team. He You have to give the Rockets time to deal with the conflict. What if the Rockets persuade Yao Ming again?

But he never thought that the Rockets could ease the relationship with Yao Ming so much!

They actually want to threaten Yao Ming to continue playing for the Rockets by blocking Yao Ming!

How big is this?

Why did you make so much money in the last two years, and forgot where did you make it?

It’s starting to blow up the bridge, right?

Do you really think "Yao Qianshu" belongs to you?

I just put "Yao Qianshu" with you. Since you don't protect it well, forget it, don't keep it! Give it back to me!

The more and more irritated David Stern gave his assistant, the "joke" in the future, Adam made a call: "Adam, go, inform the owners of all teams except the Rockets, today we have a unified time. Have an online video conference!"

About half an hour or so, Adam grumbled to answer the report and notice: "Teacher, most of the bosses say there is no time today!"

David Stern seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago, and directly moved out the "killer's trick": "It's okay, you tell them about the 5-year 2.5 billion broadcast contract we are negotiating with China Sina.com! I! Make sure they have time!"

Yes, starting two years ago, since Yao Ming officially entered the NBA, Stern has been in contact with people in the China Video category to formally discuss broadcasting fees. For two full years, with Yao Ming This league is getting more and more brilliant, and the NBA’s popularity in China is getting higher and higher. Not long ago, David Stern had just drafted a 5-year 2.5 billion broadcast contract with China Sina.com for the next 5 years. Now There are still some nuances that need to be explored. Of course, there are some details. It can even be said that before this contract is reached, in fact, it is only necessary to wait for David Stern to go to China to meet the person in charge of Sina next time!

But David Stern has never said this in order to avoid extraneous branches... He is planning to wait until the contract is actually reached before he announces the matter!

In other words, if the contract is really reached, the significance is still very far-reaching, let alone anything else, at least it proves that David Stern's "NBA internationalization strategy" is completely free of problems.

In fact, in the future, the NBA will be able to fly over billions of dollars in contracts. It is the impact of the NBA’s internationalization. Otherwise, ESPN will be fed up and will sign a 9-year 24 billion broadcast with the NBA, a team that can only be regarded as the third professional league in the United States. contract!

However, that is what happened in the future when David Stern successfully opened the China market, and then opened the European market and the African market separately... Now that it is the most critical time, there is really no problem at all!

At this time, the Rockets' cerebral palsy caused him to blow up the bridge, which is why he is so angry!

I think he was frozen at the door of CCTV for two hours, and finally persuaded CCTV to play NBA videos, and then tried his best to introduce Yao Ming into the NBA. After more than ten years of hard work, now it is finally time to truly open the Chinese market. , It was almost shivering, this is how the Rockets' brains are actually doing the "blocking Yao Ming" thing... Special, I don't want to block you without blocking Yao Ming! Blame me for being too young two years ago, it was a dog or a human that I didn't see clearly!

David Stern really regretted giving Yao Ming to Houston!

He should have considered that Alexander, a stingy boss, would sooner or later be angry with Yao's name!

Fortunately, it is not too late, and there is still a chance for rescue!

Sure enough, when Adam said that they were about to sign a 5-year 2.5 billion broadcast contract with China Domestic Sina.com, the owners of 29 teams except the Rockets all changed their attitudes and quickly coordinated the time-one hour. Then you can start.

So let's just say, there is no problem that money can't solve. If there is, then the money is not enough...

David Stern waited online first. About half an hour later, some team bosses went online. Shouldn’t I say it, the businessman’s habit is still pretty good. I said it’s an hour later, but it’s basically early. A quarter of an hour or even half an hour.

"David, when will the contract be signed?"

The question is about Robert Johnson, the owner of the Bobcats team just formed this year. He is currently worth about 750 million and belongs to the poorer part of the NBA's many owners.

It was not as soon as I heard that he had just bought the Bobcats for a five-year broadcast contract of 2.5 billion yuan, and he was online immediately.

David Stern said: "Originally it was fast, but now, it's not necessarily anymore!"

Robert Johnson's face stiffened instinctively when he heard this. These bosses are all the masters of "the old folks, the old horses". With just one sentence, they can immediately realize...something is happening!

The same is true for Robert Johnson.

His face was not so excited at the beginning.

Then, a few more bosses went online and eagerly asked about the progress of David Stern's contract signing. Stern's answer to them was the same as the previous answer to Johnson: It was originally fast, but now, it's not necessarily anymore!

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became a bit solemn. Until the last one, Blazer’s boss Paul Allen went online-as the predecessor who founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, his worth will reach 22.6 billion in two years. This kind of profit of 2.5 billion in 5 years and still divided by 30 teams is naturally not very interesting.

How much does this make!

Of course, after everyone has unified the time, he has no choice but to appear at this point in time.

Smart people will never be unsocial...

"Okay, everyone is here, so let's have a formal meeting!"

David Stern immediately took out the button recorder that Bill Duffy left him...

Everyone heard it quietly. In the end, there was no need for David Stern to say anything. Most of the bosses already understood what had happened, and of course it was normal. They were also paying attention to the recent "torsion" battle between Yao Ming and the Rockets. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was a recording of a conversation between Dawson and the Chinese champion.

Well, but they will pay attention to Yao Ming's "tear-off" battle with the Rockets. It's not that they want Yao Ming. Of course, some of the bosses want to get Yao Mingcai's attention.

But more teams think about how to get Yao's name, it should be the general manager of this team, not the boss!

More bosses, because of the report on "How much money did Alexander make after Yao Ming entered the Rockets" report that Yao Ming instructed Bill Duffy to pay attention to this "torsion battle"!

No way, after Yao Ming came to the Rockets, Alexander made too much, right? A total of seven or eight billion... Isn't this too expensive?

Although they knew that Yao Ming had the Huaxia market and Alexander made a lot of money from it, they really didn't expect that Alexander made so much money!

Even Paul Allen, the most valuable of these, is a bit envious of Alexander, to be honest, after all, Yao Ming not only brought Alexander money, but also brought Alexander the championship. He was only two years with the Rockets. So the Rockets won the third championship trophy in team history!

Can he not like this kind of player who is so strong on the court and still attracts money?

You know, he spent the last two years desperately spending money on the Trail Blazers, and he ended up with a "Polish Prison Team". Really, there is no comparison at all. If you think about it too much, you will easily get a cerebral thrombosis!

But David Stern said the whole thing again. Now all the team owners understand the ins and outs of the matter, including the team owners who just asked about the contract signing, and they also figured out why. David Stern would say "Originally fast, but now, it's not necessarily anymore." If the Rockets really blow up the "bridge", don't they know when they can sign?

Damn Alexander!

Now, these "poor ghosts" resented Alexander at once.

You really rely on Yao to eat and drink, so why don't you think that our brothers are still hungry?

asshole!

"So, what is the attitude of the two sides now?" Some bosses thought this was a chat recording between Dawson and Yao Ming before, and some couldn't wait to ask about the latest developments.

He was afraid that things would get worse!

"This is the last contact between Yao and the Rockets two days ago. Yao conveyed his thoughts to me through his agent. If the Rockets really want to keep him by blocking him, he will choose to return to China!"

Fortunately, Stern's answer relieved him, and the situation didn't get worse, of course it was him.

"How can this work?" Robert Johnson said anxiously, he couldn't bear to fly the five-year 2.5 billion contract he got.

"Yes, Alexander is harming everyone's interests by doing this. What about others? I ask him to give us an explanation!" The Bucks boss is also clamoring, and he is also one of the NBA "poor ghosts" bosses.

David Stern said: "He is not here. I did not invite him to this meeting. I want to know your opinions more than his opinions!"

"What do you mean?" Cavaliers owner Gilbert frowned slightly.

"If things are really irreconcilable, are you willing to give up Alexander or Yao!" David Stern directly asked the question he really wanted to ask.

Everyone was silent, and at this time, no one stood up and became a "prominent bird".

All shrewd!

David Stern was not in a hurry. He tapped his fingers on the table and waited. Finally, Gilbert couldn't help but said: "David, shouldn't we discuss Yao in the current situation? If all the stars trained in the future are like him Force the palace, what should we do?"

It’s no wonder that he thinks so far. It’s that he has a successor to the future alliance in his hands now. Watching Yao Ming’s "torture" battle with the Rockets, he can’t help but think of what happens in the future if the same thing happens. What about the Cavaliers?

Although the Cavaliers management will certainly not be as stupid as the Rockets management, they will tear down their home immediately after winning the championship...

But he felt a little bit empathetic.

Well, I guess he didn't expect that he would say this in a sentence!

As soon as he spoke, several team owners nodded their heads. Honestly, they didn’t want to see players challenge the team’s management in this way. If Yao Ming really succeeded in changing the team this time, there would be no guarantee that he would not be in the future. Other players followed suit.

This is not a good thing for them!

At least a five-year 2.5 billion broadcast contract can't make some of these team owners feel tempted enough to accept this happening!

"There can be no player like Yao Ming!"

David Stern's simple sentence answered Gilbert's question.

These few bosses who were worried that other players would follow Yao Ming's words in the future immediately reacted: indeed no player can imitate Yao Ming's "forcing palace" method. Ordinary international players don’t have the influence of Yao Ming, and any local superstar can’t really be stiff with the team, because they are different from Yao Ming. They have to rely on the NBA to survive. Otherwise, I will leave the country and earn less than in the country...

Only Yao Ming, but the NBA can rely on him to open the Chinese market as soon as possible and make money!

So just give it up!

Besides, it was the Rockets who did the wrong thing first, and then chose such a stupid negotiation method when easing the relationship with Yao Ming. Isn't that the extrapolation of Yao Ming by himself?

"In addition, signing a broadcast contract with Sina is only a temporary profit. As far as the current NBA’s growing influence in the China market is concerned, even if we do not rely on the broadcast contract, our profit in the China market will be 10% to 15% per year. Rising, this will lay a solid foundation for us to open up other markets. I believe that in another six years or so, we will surely achieve the initial layout of the NBA's globalization strategy..."

"But everything..."

David Stern slapped his hand on the planned broadcast contract, "It all starts with this broadcast contract..."

"So, I ask again, if things are not reconcilable, Alexander and Yao, who do you choose!"

This time, no bosses have any objections. They all waited silently for David Stern to speak, and then voted with a show of hands... No way, although they are all bosses of this alliance, they are partners who make the rules of the game together. In the face of absolute interests, partners can be abandoned!

This big "cake" of China Market is an absolute benefit!

Anyway, a partner whose original price is less than 400 million yuan will be changed if it is changed. Is there any impact?

The final result did not exceed David Stern's expectations.

"Thank you guys, the meeting is over!"

David Stern then immediately dialed Alexander's phone, and the call was quickly connected.

"David, what's the matter?"

It's not difficult for David Stern to hear that Alexander's tone was alert, too. At this time, he, the president of the alliance, suddenly came to the door. It's strange that Alexander is not alert!

His name is Alexander, not "Alexander"...

"I want to talk to you about Yao, if it's convenient, we can video chat!"

Alexander originally wanted to refuse, but Stern’s tone contained a sense of seriousness that made him feel a little depressed. He had an inexplicable premonition that was a little unclear, and even his tone of voice was persuaded: "Okay, then you wait for me for a while. !"

In about ten minutes, Alexander and Stern were on the video.

Stern first asked: "Have you been in contact with Yao recently?"

"Dawson went to Athens to find Yao once and said that Yao was still thinking about it. I haven't contacted Yao anymore. What's wrong, what happened?" Alexander asked.

David Stern had already expected this. If Alexander knew what had happened, his emotions wouldn't be just like this now.

Without saying anything, he played the recording.

Alexander was taken aback for a moment. He didn't understand what David Stern meant when he played the recording. But listening to the contents of the recording, his face gradually became wrong, and finally his whole face was even more pale.

He really wanted to hang up the video immediately, and then called Dawson: "Why did you go to Athens to tell the Chinese people about this?"

"Yao was completely disappointed this time. He let his agent find me. He hopes to leave the Rockets!" David Stern ignored his expression and directly spoke out Yao Ming's demands.

Alexander frowned slightly as he listened: "Mr. President, you don't seem to have such a big right?" No matter how stupid I and my men are, his Yao Ming is also a contract with the Rockets. According to the rules of the game, as long as he doesn't have Alexander Trading Yao Ming, then Yao Ming can only be from the Rockets!

David Stern came here and asked him to force a deal. What's the matter?

Really think you are in charge of this alliance?

You are the president in name. It's not good to say, it's just the employees hired by our 30 bosses! Do you talk to the boss like this?

Alexander was wondering, should he have a meeting with other bosses to warn this old boy with gold glasses, this guy is getting more and more floating now!

"We are about to sign a five-year, 2.5 billion broadcast contract with Huaxia. I hope you put the overall situation first. If Yao Ming wants to go, let him go?"

"We are going to sign a 2.5 billion contract with Huaxia Domestic?" Alexander's face was still ugly, and suddenly became a bit more glamorous, and even watched David Stern not so angry.

Since you can make money for me, the meeting will not open!

"So, Mr. Alexander, please make a deal with Yao, to avoid extra-junctures!"

As soon as David Stern told him about it, Alexander's face sank again, and it became even more ugly. "Man, I'll say it again, you don't have this right!"

Just kidding, they have already signed a broadcast contract with Huaxia, and the Huaxia market will definitely be able to dig further. At this time, if Huaxia is released, how much money will he have to lose?

Let him go?

impossible things!

Alexander didn't want to let Yao Ming go, and now he has to sign a broadcast contract with Huaxia, and it is even more impossible to let Yao Ming go!

David Stern sighed, but it was not so easy to convince Alexander.

However, he also anticipated this result, so he held a meeting in advance.

"Man, Yao, I already said that if the Rockets don't trade him, then he can only go back to China first and wait until the contract expires. There are still two years left...This will delay the development of this league. And your profits will also be lost!"

"I would rather believe that he will be back in less than two years!" Alexander still refused to let go. He knew that trading Yao Ming was his biggest loss.

Then there's no way!

Originally wanted to save you some face, since you are shameless...

David Stern said: "Before videoing with you, I had a short meeting with the owners of the other 29 teams..."

"???" Alexander's right eye twitched, and the vague premonition in his heart suddenly became stronger.

"I asked them, if the contradiction between Yao and Alexander is irreconcilable and must give up one, who do you choose!"

David Stern was not so anxious anyway, and began to jump out word by word: "The bosses of the 29 teams, of which 2 people abstained, and 27 bosses left, their choices were all... ...You, Alexander!"

"If you continue to make trouble, you may not even have the Rockets!"

"!!!"

As David Stern said the last words, Alexander's face became purple. He took a few breaths in a row, but his entire face was still not relieved. Then he rolled his eyes and slammed his head on the computer. On the desk in front of you.

This scared David Stern. He quickly called Alexander the emergency number 911. In about half an hour, the medical staff put Alexander on the stretcher from the video and waved at David Stern by the way. Take a hand: gone.

David Stern spread his hands and looked helpless, what is this!

This anti-strike ability is too bad!

No wonder he was worth only about 400 million yuan when he was not named Yao-the Rockets had a market value of about 300 million yuan at the time, which is equivalent to saying that he had almost nothing except the Rockets!

David Stern was speechless at the same time.

Lakers owner Buss is also on the phone with Lakers general manager Kupchak.

"Old man, don't trade for now, keep the chips, and wait!"

Kupchak was stunned for a moment, and thought of something: "Boss, are you waiting for Yao?" In the free market right now, it is worth the boss to call him and ask him to wait, perhaps the name of Yao.

It's just that he doesn't understand, isn't Dawson already talking? Yao is not for sale! What are you waiting for?

Anyway, he really hadn't received any news that Dawson was planning to trade Yao Ming again.

Buss didn't say much: "Wait, there should be results soon!"

"Okay!" Kupchak didn't ask too much. The boss told you to wait. It's right to listen to the boss!

The same thing happened in Portland, in Atlanta, in the general manager's office of the other 29 teams in the league. The owners who attended the meeting, even the SuperSonics owners who don't care about the team the most. Howard Schultz made a call to the general manager of the team, asking him not to trade for now, leaving the chips to wait for the "ultimate goal" to appear!

As a result, the entire alliance's transactions have stalled. I don't know, but I thought that the door to free market transactions was closed.

Recently, ESPN, who just broke the news with a little fame, spent two consecutive "Columnist of the Year" woj inquiring about an afternoon, and complained directly on his Facebook: "Is it possible that the deal for 30 teams this year has been completed." "It's no wonder that he has such a complaint, it's really that he has been busy all afternoon, and finally got nothing...

A little later, Alexander called David Stern again. He was already awake in the hospital bed. He thanked David Stern first, and then he didn't speak so hard.

There is no doubt that he wants to continue playing in this league!

But he also wants to keep Yao's name and make big money!

"Is there no other way?"

Why should I have known today? David Stern shook his head: "Sorry, there is only this way now, but you can rest assured, I will discuss with other team owners, formulate some terms, and try to help you avoid some losses!" At the beginning, he was willing to support The Houston ball market just handed Yao Ming to Alexander, but he did not expect that this guy actually played a good hand of cards!

Speaking of which, David Stern may not have no other way. If he intercedes for Alexander, Yao Ming may sell his face, and he may stay in the team for more than a year. No way, who made him the president of the alliance? Yao Ming can not give up anyone's face, but he has to give David Stern's face.

But after this incident, David Stern really didn’t have the thought of putting Yao's name in Houston anymore. Alexander was so picky, he made so much money, and he was so picky, maybe he would split the championship team in order to save money. He will do it in the future, he should take Yao Ming away from the Rockets, so as not to have another incident!

So he refused to find a way for Alexander, and now Alexander is worth enough, two or three times more than two years ago, and he has become the owner of the entire league with both a team and an independent arena. Let Yao Ming go to other teams in the league to "help the poor"!

As soon as Alexander heard this, he closed his eyes in despair. He confessed his fate: "I know... Mr. President, I am waiting for the final result!"

"Okay, man, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible!"

Then a busy tone came from Alexander's mobile phone. At this moment, Alexander felt that something had been taken away from him, and his whole person became weaker.

He dialed a phone with trembling hands, and the other end of the phone was quickly connected.

"BOSS, what's wrong?"

It's Dawson.

"you are fired……"

"What, BOSS, what did you say?"

Alexander's voice was so weak that Dawson couldn't hear him clearly, so Dawson asked again.

"I said, you are fired, stupid!" Alexander gathered enough energy this time, swearing harshly at the microphone of the phone, and then hung up the phone.

Dawson listened to Alexander on the other end, dumbfounded, he still didn't understand what was going on...

When David Stern heard that Alexander was finally relieved, he was also relieved. He didn't want to find the boss again as a last resort. It was too much trouble, and when the league was just beginning to develop, it appeared like this. Things are not a good thing.

However, he was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief. Now that Alexander had cooperated, he had to fulfill what he said, and try to make Alexander's loss a little bit smaller.

Of course, this small point is relatively speaking. If Yao Ming ran away, Alexander must have suffered a great loss. Needless to say, what can be done?

I have planted the "Yao Qianshu" in your house. You are so full and want to "cut down the tree", and you can only blame yourself for your own feelings!

He can only guarantee this transaction as much as possible, so that Alexander can get the maximum return in theory...

Although this must add some clauses, this is not an important matter. Wasn't the previous clauses created for the service alliance?

Now, it's the same...

David Stern started to work hard to compensate Alexander. He didn't tell Yao Ming that Alexander was ready to trade him. He planned to talk to Yao Ming before everything settled.

It can be regarded as a surprise for Yao Ming!

Moreover, he knows very well that Yao Ming has given him face this time, and he can directly disclose the contents of the button to the public. In that case, it will definitely have a very big impact.

I'm afraid he will be more devastated than he is now.

But Yao Ming didn't do that!

In other words, it is also this tacit understanding. David Stern chose to stand on Yao Ming's side without any hesitation. As I said just now, if you really get Alexander out of the group through exclusion, how much It will have a certain impact on the NBA, and the new owners outside will feel that the NBA owners are xenophobic and hesitate when buying a team...

Of course, compared to the development of the NBA, this impact is actually nothing.

This is why the 29 team owners voted for 2 abstentions and 27 chose to give up Alexander!

Friends are the ones who can make money, and the ones who hinder making money... Friend, who are you?

David Stern is busy with new terms. During this period, the China Men's Basketball Team also officially ended the last week of training. The first match day of the Athens Olympic Men's Basketball Group Match is here!

The China Men's Basketball Team has its first game against Spain!

They met strong enemies as soon as they came up. Although the original Spain was only ranked seventh in the Athens Olympics, their record was not bad. The group stage ended with a record of victory, and even Argentina lost to them. , The momentum is strong, but who would have thought that the "Dream Six" team lost to Puerto Rico in the group stage and lost to Lithuania, and finally only qualified for the fourth difficult group in the group, and their fourth natural group I met with Spain, who was the first in the group. Spain fell to the quarter-finals, and then again won the China Men’s Basketball Team in the battle for seven or eight places. This was the seventh place. But if you look at their record, they actually lost one game from the group stage to the knockout stage! It was really "pitted" by "Dream Six".

But even with such an opponent, Yao Ming and the China Men’s Basketball Team didn’t mean to admit defeat. After all, it was the first game of the Olympic Games. Although they knew it was probably not Spain’s opponent, they had to play the momentum of the China Men’s Basketball Team. Come!

Yao Ming played this game against Spain with a fighting stance, as did other players in the China Men’s Basketball Team, but I don’t know if their fighting spirit is too strong, or if they are really stronger this time than they were originally. It’s a lot, or the Spanish men’s basketball team is not ready. Anyway, the China Men’s Basketball Team made a 10-4 start. This shocked the jaws of many foreign media reporters and surprised the domestic fans who were watching the game in front of the TV. .

And it's not over yet, because the China Men's Basketball team didn't just start well, they still had a 6-point lead until the end of the first half, and they had a start that could be called "perfect".

It's just a pity that the old problem of the China Men's Basketball Team in the second half came out again: Except for Yao Ming, most of the players began to have physical problems.

This allowed Spain to catch up with the point difference before the start of the fourth quarter.

When the fourth quarter began, everyone from Spain encircled Yao Ming. After two years, Yao Ming once again experienced what it means to be "lost to eight hands". In the end, the China Men's Basketball Team lost 73 to 80, 7 points!

Yao Ming scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in this game, but it was still difficult to save the savior.

However, there is nothing to regret. It was difficult to play in Spain. It was an unexpected gain to be able to play like this. Anyway, after playing this game, when returning to the hotel, the rest of the China Men's Basketball Team was obviously more confident to play the next game. NS.

With such a change, Yao Ming no longer struggled with the loss to Spain.

But... it's really tiring to fight fiba rules, Yao Ming said in his heart.

The FIBA's three-second zone is much smaller than that of the NBA, which also makes the basket a lot crowded. In addition, there is no "meat shield" in the Chinese men's basketball team in an absolute sense, and there is no card forward Yao Ming needs. Yao Ming has to do a lot of dirty work by himself. Of course, he can only drive the enthusiasm of the whole team by doing it himself. In addition, there is a saying that the strength of the helper is really not enough.

The combination of these two and three makes Yao Ming feel very tired after this game. It feels like playing a playoff game... But it's no wonder that fiba rules are not hand-to-hand combat?

The self-confidence played against Spain helped the China Men's Basketball Team successfully win New Zealand and Italy.

Among them, Yao Ming was not very surprised to win New Zealand. After all, the original China Men's Basketball Team could win this team. Now it is reasonable for the enhanced version of China Men's Basketball team to clean up him.

It is worth mentioning that the original Chinese men’s basketball team used New Zealand as the focus of the game. Before the game, Yao Ming even said, “Don’t break out in silence, just die in silence”. To boost morale, the China Men's Basketball Team won the game 69:62 with difficulty.

However, this is the original China Men's Basketball Team. This time the China Men's Basketball Team didn't play so hard. Yao Ming scored 34 points to help the team win the game 77-61 easily.

During this game, Yao Ming strongly detained Sean Marx of New Zealand twice in a row, which was regarded as a revenge for the original game!

In the original game, Yao Ming had been buckled by this guy, so the buckle was not enough. After the buckle, the grandson still installed it, glaring at him again, yelling frantically, and finally stepped forward. Bumping his chest to provoke Yao Ming, but Yao Ming didn't get used to him, so he pushed directly to the ground.

The grandson immediately persuaded.

Thanks to this grandson, otherwise the "Zhu Baquan" is already on the way.

This time, when Yao Ming saw Marx, he immediately remembered this past. A real man had to "turn over the old account". Not to mention that this grandson was quite good at hiding. Yao Ming looked for a chance to complete the whole game and only finished it twice. Buckle.

Not very happy!

"I hope I can see you again in the 2008 Olympic Games!" For this reason, he deliberately greeted him in a "friendly" manner.

Marx left dingy.

He prayed in his heart that I would never meet this Buddha again in the next Olympic Games!

I can't afford to provoke me to hide!

What makes Marx even more depressed is that he can't remember at all, when did he offend Yao Ming. It seems that this is the first time I have seen him?

It's not surprising to win against New Zealand Yao Ming. To be honest, Yao Ming is really a little surprised because the Chinese men's basketball team originally played against Italy and lost more than 20 points, which is considered to be a relatively poor match.

And the strength of Italy itself is really strong, it is the team that reached the finals!

Of course, there must be a positive factor in the schedule. In the entire elimination round, they did not encounter "Dream Six", nor did they encounter other strong teams in Group A. First they won Puerto Rico and then narrowly won by 6 points. Lithuania then reached the final finals, but any encounter with the United States, or Greece at home, it is estimated that they will not make it to the finals.

But even so, this team is still very strong!

Unexpectedly, this time the enhanced version of the China Men’s Basketball Team beat them 72 to 67. Yao Ming’s restraint from outside the three-point line in this game made Italy’s defense very uncomfortable, and the China Men’s Basketball team in this game. The outside touch is still hot, the goals that should not be scored, all scored, so successfully shot Italy to death!

After winning 2 of 3 games, the promotion situation of the China Men's Basketball Team suddenly became clear.

Then they lost to Argentina without any pressure.

But this is also normal. After all, it is the final championship in 2004. The hard power is indeed much stronger than the current China Men’s Basketball Team. The China Men’s Basketball Team also suffered the most painful loss since the group stage. They lost 66 to 88. Dropped the game.

After four games, the China Men's Basketball Team drew 2-2.

They will have another game next. Although they can advance if they don't win, they can be ranked third in the group if they win.

This way they can avoid Lithuania and face the weaker Puerto Rico in Group A.

Therefore, against Serbia and Montenegro, this time the China Men’s Basketball Team broke out a very strong battle**. In the end, Yao Ming used the “Golden Rooster Independent” quasi lore to help the team succeed with a score difference of 81 to 79, 2 points. Get out of Serbia and Montenegro.

The 2002 World Championship champion was once again sent home by the China Men's Basketball Team, which ended the trip to the Olympic Games ahead of schedule!

At this point, the 5 group matches are over. The China Men's Basketball Team ranked third in the group with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. As they wished, they will face Puerto Rico in the knockout round!

In fact, Puerto Rico is not very good. There are many players on this team who will join the NBA in the future, among which Arroyo is the most famous!

In terms of his performance, Puerto Rico was able to beat the "Dream Team" upset in the group, and he completely suppressed the latter in the matchup with Allen Iverson.

But in comparison, this is indeed the team that Yao Ming thinks is the best to play. Lithuania was still a mountain that the Chinese men’s basketball team couldn’t reach until 2008. Needless to say, "Dream Six", although this A total of three teams defeated them in the Olympic Games, but the China Men’s Basketball Team really couldn’t be the fourth. There is no need to say that Greece, a group of muscle players, need to play the most feared physical battle of the China Men’s Basketball Team. It’s a home game, and the probability of winning is very small. Only Puerto Rico has the power of World War I. After all, in the original 2004 Athens Olympics, Puerto Rico was ranked second in Group A, but they were the only ones to be beaten. The team that was beaten upset and beaten!

They were defeated by Italy, ranked third in Group B!

The China Men's Basketball Team, which is also third in the group, will also challenge this record.

However, Yao Ming has to admit that there is indeed a gap. The rest of the China Men’s Basketball Team can’t keep up with Puerto Rico’s offensive and defensive conversion speed. They have Daniel Santiago, a giant of 2.16 meters tall, defending. Therefore, in this game, Wang Zhizhi did not like the physical confrontation to be fully manifested, but at the same time his speed could not go to the outside to defend other people, resulting in even missing people.

In the end, the China Men's Basketball Team lost 78 to 89 in the quarter-finals~www.novelmt.com~ They failed to reach the top 4!

However, in the seventh and eighth place competition, the China Men's Basketball Team once again met Italy. They once again used Yao Ming's play style of restraint on the outside and successfully defeated Italy and got a good result in seventh place.

It can be regarded as breaking the best record in history!

After all, the China Men's Basketball Team has not won in the past after entering the knockout rounds!

This can be regarded as a zero breakthrough!

Although Yao Ming has regrets about this result, he can only accept it. There is no way. The top 8 teams in this Olympic Games are indeed very strong, including Puerto Rico, who are also among the best in their careers. At that time, it was normal to not be able to fight.

Wait for Yi Jianlian to grow up in 2008, the team has more Sun Yue, Yao Ming himself has made even greater progress, let's talk about it!

Moreover, this time they can't say that there is no gain at all. This will not drag the original runner-up Italy into the water! It's also ranked seventh, which is pretty good.
