NBA Backer King - Chapter 641
Chapter 641 Olympic champion + new season starts
Seeing this block, Jordan, who was watching the game, shook his head and said to the old Colangelo beside him: “Old K can play for at least five years. I can’t see any signs of his athletic quality declining. He even Can dance better than in previous years, this guy is a monster!”
Old Colangelo nodded with a smile, “He is a miracle worker.”
“We’re not good enough this time, the lineup is too bad.” Jordan shook his head.
Old Colangelo nodded. He knew very well that this time the U.S. team barely qualified for the group stage and was not qualified to be called the Dream Six. With almost no chance of reaching the semifinals, the Dream Six team should be the worst-performing American men’s basketball team in decades.
“As long as old K is not seriously injured, the next BJ Olympics will probably be dominated by the Chinese team, and the people around him can still play for many years.” Jordan said helplessly.
“boom!”
While the two were talking, there was a loud explosion on the court. Under Wang Tiejun’s heavy dunk with both hands, Duncan was dunked and fell to the ground, while the transparent backboard shattered, and the basket was torn apart. down.
“Boom!”
The atmosphere of the stadium exploded to the extreme, and the morale of the American team was hit to the brink of collapse.
“Ahhhh…”
Dabao jumped up excitedly, dancing on the sidelines.
Zhang Lili laughed and said: “These stars were suppressed by the iron army in the NBA, and they will end up in the same way in the international arena. They are destined to be unable to turn over.”
After more than an hour, the game ended, 94:69, the Chinese team beat the US team and reached the semi-finals, while the US team was eliminated and could only compete for the fifth to eighth place.
In the whole game, Lao Wang sent 8 big blocks and 2 steals, Dayao sent 3 big blocks and 1 steal, and the two teamed up to 11 big blocks. Got bloody.
In the second half of the night, the results of the other two quarter-final games came out. Italy defeated Greece, Argentina defeated Lithuania, plus the previous Spanish and Chinese teams. The four men’s basketball teams will face off against semifinals.
After the game, Zhang Lili said with a smile: “The four teams that entered the semi-finals all came from Group A. It seems that our media said that Group A is the group of death, and they are really right.”
Sun Zhenping said with a smile: “This time the US team didn’t even make it to the top four, which is quite unexpected!”
Zhang rationally said with a smile: “The U.S. team can only qualify as the last place in the relatively weak Group B. I think it is expected that they will not reach the semi-finals.”
“Haha…” Sun Zhenping laughed out loud.
Zhang Lili continued: “The semi-finals are tomorrow. The women’s basketball game will be held during the day and the men’s basketball game will be held at night. However, the two semi-finals of the men’s basketball team are actually on the 28th, which is one o’clock in the morning and three o’clock in the morning. So the men’s basketball team Rest well, it’s a back-to-back game.”
Sun Zhenping nodded and said: “The semi-finals are the Chinese team against Argentina, Spain against Italy, and the winner goes to the final.
The Chinese team has defeated these three teams in Group A, but be careful in the final. ”
Zhang rationally nodded and said: “We all know the strength of the Chinese team, so they probably didn’t try their best in the group stage. This will definitely not happen in the final.”
At one o’clock in the morning on the 28th, the semi-finals between Spain and Italy began. In the end, Spain defeated their opponents and reached the final.
At three o’clock, another semi-final game begins.
Argentina’s strength is still very strong, Ginobili has also grown up, and the European step has made his breakthrough unfavorable, but the strength of the Chinese team is still stronger, especially the inside. It was at least two levels stronger, and this is still to say the least. In the end, the Chinese team successfully defeated Argentina and reached the final.
In the 2000 Olympic Games, the Chinese team also reached the finals, but lost to the Dream Team Four.
In that U.S. men’s basketball team, O’Neal, David Robinson, Dameng, Malone, Vin Baker, Garnett, Mourning, Carter, Alan Houston, Ray Allen, Payton, Kidd, all were very strong inside and outside the line. Dayao and the others haven’t grown up yet, so they don’t have a good temper when they lose.
This is the second time in the history of the Chinese team that they have entered the Olympic men’s basketball finals. They lost against Spain in the group stage, so the chances of winning the championship are very high. The whole country is looking forward to that moment.
At three o’clock in the morning on the 29th, the men’s basketball final at the Olympic Stadium.
All the senior leaders of the Chinese delegation were present, and athletes from various sports also came to the scene to cheer for the men’s basketball team.
In the Olympic Stadium, there are flying five-star red flags everywhere.
At half past three, the game officially begins.
After the jump ball, the Chinese team attacked.
Dayao pulls to the high position, Lao Wang is in the low position on the left wing and asks for the ball. The moment he catches the ball, he turns around and slides down. The speed is so fast that Gasol can’t keep up.
“boom!”
After dunking with one arm, he scored the first goal.
After this goal, the Chinese team started a strong inside attack.
Wang Tiejun and Yao Min teamed up to attack in turn. You hit one and I hit the other. The two super insiders completely blasted Spain’s insiders.
Outside, the main task of Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu is to defend against the opponent’s long-range shots. The main task of the offensive end is to transmit shells for the two inside lines.
Spain tried their best to resist, but the inside offense was suppressed, the rebounds were suppressed, and the outside line broke out occasionally, but they could not withstand the stable and efficient inside attack of the Chinese team.
At the end, Lao Wang scored 42 points, Dayao scored 26 points, and the two teamed up to score 68 points and 25 rebounds. They led the team to defeat the Spanish team and won the men’s basketball championship in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Pharaoh won the men’s basketball MVP of this Olympic Games, averaging 36 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 4.8 blocks, 1.8 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game.
At the moment when the game ended, the whole country fell into jubilation.
Wang Tiejun participated in three Olympic Games from 1996 to 2004, and finally realized his gold medal dream. At this moment, he also had a sense of fulfillment. If the next Olympic Games were not held in his home, he would not want to participate in the Olympic Games again.
But in the next Olympic Games, he will be 35 years old, and he has already made up his mind. Dayao was only 28 years old at that time, and he will
In the peak period, let him take on the big responsibility and play support by himself. It’s time for young people to take over.
Next, the national anthem was played and the national flag was raised. He excitedly put on his first gold medal.
At two o’clock in the morning on August 30, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games will be held.
On the last day of August, Pharaoh and the men’s basketball team boarded the plane back home.
When I got home, my parents went to the elder sister to watch Nian Nian.
“Husband, I heard the news that Dabao said to invest 200 million yuan in Director Du. What do you think should be done?”
After arriving home, Brother Fei immediately sued Dabao in front of him.
“Two hundred million? Can he have twenty yuan in his pocket? There is never any pocket money of five yuan a day left. This little **** is better at bragging than his father!” Old Wang said angrily.
“His second aunt set up a trust fund for him. He doesn’t have it in his pocket, but he has the fund. Didn’t his second aunt teach him to invest last time? He chose Brother Cheng Long’s movie, and his second aunt evaluated it for him. , has already earned.”
“The second sister manages the fund, so what are you worried about? My assets are still managed by the second sister.” Old Wang asked.
“Why don’t you understand? He blew it out first, and the second sister didn’t know it. It’s not an investment, it’s talking nonsense outside. This time, Director Du just let me know, it doesn’t matter, but I will get used to it in the future. What you say doesn’t count, so isn’t it a bluff?”
Old Wang thought for a while, and said: “Then you and the second sister will evaluate whether you can vote for Director Du’s movie, and vote if you can…”
Brother Fei has a headache, have you got the point wrong? However, he also knew that her husband didn’t read any books, so he patiently explained: “It’s not about this movie. I have invested in this movie and the funds are in place. It’s about Dabao pulling the tiger’s skin and pulling the flag outside. It’s him.” educational issues.”
“Education? Okay, then I will whip him, and he will come back later.” Old Wang said.
Brother Fei twitched his lips, shook his head and said, “It’s useless, we went to the United States, and no one cares about him anymore. His second aunt is too busy and doesn’t have much time to care about him. Husband, you still have to take him with you. ”
“Then take it to the United States. I smoke every day, and a filial son will be born under the stick. If I smoke too much, it won’t be so bad.”
“Ah, sorry…” Dabao sneezed several times as soon as he got off the plane.
“Have a cold?” Sissy asked hastily.
“No.”
Dabao wiped his nose, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: “Sister, I have no money, give me some money to spend.”
“What do you want to buy?”
“No, you give me a few thousand dollars, and we will reimburse my mother together later.”
“That can’t be done, the godmother doesn’t allow me to give you money, and a certificate is required for reimbursement.”
“Sister, you have changed now.”
“Your family, what do you need so much money for?”
“You just say whether you will give it or not?”
“Thousands of dollars is impossible, the godmother knows she will scold me, and I can’t lie to her.”
“A few hundred.”
“I still have five hundred RMB here, let me give you fifty.”
Cissy took a twenty-dollar sheet from her bag and handed it to Dabao.
Dabao was dumbfounded, didn’t he say fifty, did I hear wrong?
“don’t want?”
Sissy stretched out her hand to take it back, but Dabao quickly put it in his pocket and muttered, “Twenty is twenty.”
An hour later, Dabao came home, and the house immediately became lively.
“Dabao, you little bastard, I heard that people outside call you Young Master Wang now? The little demon king of Fengshen Street has thousands of younger brothers, and he throws 200 million people with a single mouth. Come, come, let me see you.” Your majesty.”
Old Wang was scolding, looking for things around, looking for something that fit his hand, saw a rolling pin on the coffee table, and wanted to go to get it, Zhou Zhou hurriedly took the feather duster on the sofa and handed it over.
“Dad, this works.”
“Zhou Zhou is so good!”
Old Wang took the feather duster, pressed Dabao who was still in a dazed state, and began to slap his butt.
“Ouch, Dad, lighten up, Dad, where did I go wrong? Ouch, hiss!”
“Godmother?”
Cissy’s face turned pale with fright.
“Leave him alone.” Brother Fei shook his head.
“Old man, what about Dabao?”
Erya’s voice sounded at this moment.
“Second aunt, save me quickly, my father was punished for not teaching me, I am wronged!” Hearing the voice, Dabao immediately raised his throat and shouted.
Old Wang saw the second sister coming, he also threw down the feather duster, and said: “Second sister is here, this kid is disobedient, I will clean him up.”
“I’m disobedient, you hit me if you didn’t tell me, it’s your fault.” Dabao, who was rubbing his buttocks, refused to accept it.
“Brother Fei, tell Second Sister.” Lao Wang said.
Brother Fei explained.
Dabao called Tian Qudi and shouted: “I didn’t do anything outside, Mom, don’t tell them, I just play… There is also the investment of 200 million yuan, don’t you also vote? I heard you said he made a movie I’ve made money, I’m a great director, why can’t I vote? Second aunt, you can comment. You taught me that investing in talents is the best investment behavior. Director Du can make movies that make money, so why can’t I vote for him? ”
“Dabao, you go upstairs first.” Arya said.
“Second aunt, please educate my parents, I think it’s safer for me to be your son.” Dabao said as he went upstairs.
“You bastard!” Old Wang cursed angrily.
After Dabao went upstairs, Erya signaled Old Wang to sit down, and said, “Old man, Dabao has a temperament like you, likes to play, and there are many children who love to play with him. There are many children around him. Some good-for-nothing person gave him the nickname of the Little Demon King of Fengshen Street, but you live here every day, have you heard how many bad things he has done? Just be naughty once in a while.”
Old Wang and Fei Ge glanced at each other, it seemed that what Second Sister said was true.
Brother Fei thought for a while and said, “Second sister, but Dabao is so young, why does he have to open his mouth and cast 200 million?”
Erya shook her head and said, “You also know that I am teaching him to invest. If you know why he is so young, should I teach him to invest?”
Pharaoh and Wang shook their heads.
Erya said again: “Old man, I helped you manage the club in the United States. I have come into contact with many wealthy families. These families pay great attention to the cultivation of their heirs. We have an old saying that the rich can’t pass three generations, and that’s what it means.
However, if you have been rich for three generations, you will become a family, and if you have been rich for five generations, you will become a wealthy family. This shows that the cultivation of heirs is extremely important. ”
“Second sister, are you training Dabao now?” Brother Fei understood a little.
Erya said: “Our family business is not small now. The high-tech investment I made for the old man is not counted. It is just the K Times Club, the K Times Trading Company, the construction company, the area of Fengshen Street, and several others. The company, which company is not tens of billions of billions of assets? These assets will be inherited by Dabao in the future. He is the boss of the third generation of our family. If we don’t start training now, when will we wait? ”
Lao Wang and his wife looked at each other.
Erya said again: “Dabao’s character is not bad, old man, just like you, the king of children, what does this mean? It means that he has a natural leadership ability, which is very important for an heir, other abilities of the heir are not important , but you must have leadership skills, know how to employ people, and how to invest in talents is the key. The best investment is to invest in talents.
He asked Director Du to invest 200 million yuan. What is the attitude of Director Du? ”
Brother Fei said: “Director Du didn’t say anything, he said that Cheng Long would accept Dabao’s investment, and it’s fine if he has a good book in the future. I listen to his tone, that is, to test my attitude.
Second sister, I am just worried that Dabao will mess around outside. He has a domineering personality, just like his father. ”
Erya smiled, looked at Old Wang and said, “Old man, do you want Dabao to be as obedient as a little pug, or do you want him to be a wolf?”
“Of course it’s wolves. Wolves eat meat while dogs eat shit.” Old Wang said immediately.
“Then don’t suppress him too much, as long as you grasp the general direction and guide him correctly. Any good leader has a strong personality, as long as you don’t let Dabao go astray, you want him to grow into a big tree, right? Let him grow into a potted plant. I have to call his head teacher twice a week to find out everything about him at school, and I also send someone to find out about his affairs in Fengshen Street. I think the little guy is doing well now. Don’t listen to the wind. Yu, Dabao didn’t do anything bad, as for his domineering personality, what does it matter?”
…
“Do I want face, or the championship? Maybe, Jason’s stinky mouth is right, I am no longer qualified to want face.”
After watching the Olympics, seeing the strong performance of the Chinese team, seeing the strong performance of the old K, Payton’s already extinguished thoughts rose from the bottom of his heart.
In the Olympic Games, the Chinese team headed by old K defeated the American men’s basketball team. Duncan couldn’t support the inside line of the American team under the old K, which made him realize that maybe in the new season, the Blazers will repeat the fate of last season.
Of course, he also knows that the Suns have lost a lot of strength. Only old K is left among the five main players, and the head coach has left. This is also one of the reasons for his hesitation.
He was thinking that if he ran to the Suns shamelessly, but the Suns were killed by the Blazers in the playoffs, and the Blazers won the championship instead, then he would be a big joke.
However, judging from the current transaction, the new lineup of the Suns is not very bad. With the addition of old K, no one has the guts to say how the Suns will stretch their hips in the new season.
The current media’s evaluation of the Suns is not very low. The main reason is the old K. With the old K, his team’s performance will not be too bad.
It’s just, if he goes to the Suns now, will he serve as a substitute for White Chocolate?
Amidst this indecision, Gary Payton stayed on, took no action, and sat and watched the time slip by.
…
Pharaoh Wang rested at home until early October, and started preparing to return to the United States.
Er Bao has been four months old, and this time he and Fei Ge are going to America.
Zhou is four years old and is in kindergarten. The little girl is unwilling to leave her parents and wants to follow her to the United States.
As for Dabao, he was taken away by his second aunt.
Old Wang has decided that if he can win the championship in the next two seasons and complete the dynasty, basically he has no challenges in this sport, and he is 33 years old, he will choose to retire.
Of course, if the goal is not achieved in the next two years, then they will continue to play. As long as the state does not decline too much and the lineup is OK, Dynasty is not without a chance.
He is still full of confidence in winning the championship in the next two seasons. The main source of confidence is that at the center position, as O’Neal declines from the peak, he can still remain above the peak. There are no players in the league. Can pose enough threat to him.
Except for O’Neal, Dayao is now the strongest, but Dayao’s defense is far inferior to him, his speed is not as good as him, and his physical fitness is not as good as him, which means he is stronger on the offensive end. Boy, it’s better to pinch the snail with three fingers, and it will be sure.
On October 15th, Lao Wang and Fei Ge flew to the United States with their two children and two nannies.
Stayed in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles for three days, held a party, and participated in two parties. On the 19th, the family arrived in Phoenix.
On the morning of the 20th, Lao Wang came to the team headquarters.
The preseason has already started. The players are not there, but the management is there. Half of the coaching staff are at the headquarters, and half are playing preseason with the team.
Head coach Jeff Van Gundy was there, and at headquarters, the three chatted in Colangelo Jr.’s office.
Little Colangelo first put the lineup list in front of him, and said with a sad face: “Old K, these are the people. We were tricked by D’Antoni and the Knicks this time. Except for you, all the main players were poached by them.” Now, the new season is not only tantamount to rebuilding the lineup, but the skills and tactics of last season will be completely redone.”
Old Wang took the list, turned his head to look at Xiao Fan, and asked, “Jeff, you should have studied our lineup, what do you think?”
Xiao Fan’s forehead immediately piled up with forehead lines. He was the head coach for the first time, and he was also a team that was equivalent to rebuilding. He was facing the old K again, and his season goal was to defend the title.
Old Wang didn’t urge him either, and while Xiao Fan was thinking about what to say, he looked at the list first.
Center: Wang Tiejun (5), Anderson Varejao (positions 4 and 5), Steven Hunter (5)
Forwards: Kenyon Martin (4), Kurt Thomas (4), Zhu Fangyu (3), Trevor Ariza (3)
Guards: Jason Williams (1), Josh Howard (2, 3), Jamal Crawford (2), Jim Jackson (2, 3), Smush Parker (1 )
Colangelo Jr. said at this time: “In terms of inside substitutes, Varejao is our last pick in the first round. The Brazilian has average talent. I plan to let him be your first substitute. Hunter is not very old, but A marginal guy, signed in with a basic salary, your second substitute.”
Old Wang nodded, and suddenly said with emotion: “Starting from Kidd’s group, it seems that I can’t keep young people with potential and strength by my side. Their talents are generally just right, so as not to run away after hitting them.”
“Ha ha!”
Little Colangelo smiled bitterly, and said: “On the front line, Kenyon Martin plays the main power forward, Thomas plays the first substitute. Zhu Fangyu plays the main small forward, and Josh Howard plays the first position at the third and second positions.” substitute.
Shooting guard, Jamal Crawford plays the main second position, and Jim Jackson can be the second substitute for the second and third positions.
Jim Jackson is 34 years old and has a serious injury. This time he was signed in with a basic salary. He can only play as a substitute, not a main player.
For the position of point guard, White Chocolate is the main player, and Smush Parker is a marginal player. He is a bit short of playing the first substitute. ”
At this time, Xiao Fan said: “Crawford is a nerve knife. Let him play the main shooting guard. I am afraid that our outside offense will not be very stable.”
When he said this, he was looking at Lao Wang, because he knew very well that in this team, if the old K said how to play, Jr. Colangelo would not object.
Old Wang nodded and said: “I really hope that the outside line will be more stable. The nerve knife is more suitable for the bench lineup to grab points. Let him play the sixth man.”
Xiao Fan took a look at Colangelo, and sure enough, he didn’t object. He immediately said, “Then we will use White Chocolate, Josh Howard, Zhu Fangyu, Kenyon Martin, and Old K as the main lineup.”
Old Wang looked at the lineup list, no better choice, nodded.
After seeing that Colangelo also nodded in agreement, Xiao Fan said: “The substitute lineup is mainly composed of Varejao, Kurt Thomas, Jim Jackson, and Jamal Crawford, plus the five main players. The main rotation lineup is nine.
By the way, Ariza, the second-round pick of the Knicks traded in, can give some playing time to see if there is any value for cultivation, and if not, give up. ”
Little Colangelo asked: “Jeff, do you have any tactical ideas now? There is no time. The preseason is already playing. We can only polish the new tactical system from the regular season. You have to come up with it as soon as possible.” own tactics.”
Xiao Fan took the tactical list from Old Wang, frowned and scratched his head.
Old Wang loves Xiao Fan very much. He has only been with the Suns for one year. At the beginning of the second year, the hair on his head is not much, and he is about to evolve into a bald donkey.
At this time, Xiao Fan said: “I am not going to change the basic offensive tactics. There is no need to change the old K. In the new season, we will still play the traditional center tactics, focusing on positional warfare, switching from offense to defense and playing defensive counterattack.”
Lao Wang said: “This is the best choice. The overall speed of our main lineup is not as good as last season. In principle, we should slow down appropriately.
But in fact, there are me, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, the tactics of last season can still be played, when the offense and defense are switched, we can still play like last season, play fast break if we have a chance, and stabilize if we don’t. ”
Colangelo Jr. said disdainfully: “D’Antoni wants to beat his run and gun, and abandon defense. I really don’t understand what he thinks. We won the championship last season, and defense contributed a lot. Did he Didn’t you see it?”
From this sentence, it can be seen that he is actually very concerned about D’Antoni leaving the Suns and poaching Stoudemire and other three main players.
Xiao Fan said: “Actually, based on what I know about Mike, he has already won the championship and has qualifications, so now he hopes to realize his pursuit and ideal, so he chooses to leave the Suns.”
Junior Colangelo shook his head and said: “Before Old K came back last season, his running and bombing record was not bad, which probably gave him confidence.”
There was a strange look on Lao Wang’s face. Is D’Antoni planning to use the Knicks as a test product?
Little Colangelo said at this time: “Old K, Jeff, if you meet the Knicks in the new season, give them a hard beat, don’t let them go home and away, a bunch of traitors!”
Old Wang and Xiao Fan laughed at the same time and nodded.
Old Wang suddenly said thoughtfully: “Actually, the style of the league has been changing in recent years. The three-pointer is increasing. After Jordan, the rise of the four major shooting guards has allowed the style of the league to continue to shift to the outside.
As far as I know, many insiders have started to shoot three-pointers, and most outside players have strengthened their three-pointer training, so I think small ball tactics are likely to be developed. ”
Jr. Colangelo said with a smile: “Yao is an example. His three-pointers are very troublesome. As a big center, he can also play fast breaks.
Old K, it seems that you have seen this very early. In this Olympics, his three-pointers are no worse than European players. ”
“Of course.” Pharaoh proudly said.
Xiao Fan continued the small ball topic just now and said: “The outside line is more gorgeous than the inside line, which is very popular with fans. This is one reason. In addition, there are too few good centers, but there are a lot of good outside lines, emerging in endlessly. That’s also a reason.”
Jr. Colangelo said with a smile: “If you say that, it is likely to produce a change. There will be fewer and fewer good centers in the future.
The entire league is a business. If small ball prevails and the market needs players suitable for small ball style, then this will definitely affect the supply side.
From the high school league to the NCAA, what is provided to the NBA will only be more and more rookies who are suitable for small ball tactics, because the traditional insiders cannot adapt to the new style and will be eliminated on the supply side. ”
Xiao Fan said with a smile: “It’s not about being eliminated, but the supply side will make changes according to the needs of the market, and train those children into players suitable for the small ball style.”
“The market determines everything.” Lao Wang said.
“Yes, in the United States, basketball has long formed a complete supply chain. Whatever type of players the end market needs, the supply chain will provide what type of players.” Colangelo Jr. said.
The new season will start on November 2, and on October 23, after the preseason is over, the Suns return to Phoenix.
On the 24th, the league’s official training camp for the new season begins.
