Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

Li Ang applied for a trade. This news caused a great sensation in Chou Country and flower growers.

After all, our old Li is also a serious All-Star player.

Once All-Star players flow into the transfer market, they will inevitably cause an uproar.

All of a sudden, all the teams that came to inquire had crossed the threshold.

But at this time, Babcock did not listen to the offers from other teams. Instead, he reported the situation in front of the chairman of the board of directors of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Canada.

"This is no small matter, Rob." Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of the entertainment company and the owner of the Raptors, looked at the team general manager in front of him.

"Leon, you know him, he is one of our box office guarantees. At the same time, he affects the Chinese market." Tanenbaum continued.

Three generations of his family have been businessmen. As an old capitalist, Tanenbaum will not let go of his interests easily.

Unless, this can bring him greater benefits.

Babcock knew that this shrewd boss would be difficult to deal with, so he had already prepared his words.

"Indeed, Ang is one of the most popular players in Toronto and fans consider him a hero.

But you have also seen that our team cannot achieve results relying on Li alone.

Vince will have knee surgery this summer and will miss more than half of next season. Even if he comes back, it will take time to find his form. Can we perform well next season? It's hard.

Since we can't produce results, why don't we just give up next season and compete for the young talents in the 2003 draft?

Which one is more beneficial to us, a first round trip to the playoffs or a future star player?

The problem now is that Li will be an obstacle to this plan. He refuses to mess up, and his presence will make our results next season neither better nor worse, and nothing will be achieved.

People will remember the losers and they will remember the winners, but not exactly the people in the middle.

A record that is neither good nor bad is a fatal blow to the team's income.

We need to find a new helper for Vince.

Lee's trade value is great, and I will try to get a first-round pick to lay a solid foundation for our draft plan in 2003.

If we can draft Bosh or Anthony and pair it with Carter, I think we will be closer to the championship in the next few years.

Li Ang is great, he is a powerful dunker. But IMHO, he is not the kind of person who can help Carter reach the top! "

Babcock finished speaking about his considerations. Carter just signed a six-year maximum salary contract with the team last summer, which is a considerable investment.

The team needs to have Carter at its core and try to win a championship within six years.

And what is the result of the combination of Leon and Carter? 4 to 1 in the finals.

If Li Ang gets suspended during a key battle because of a sudden flash of his mind, all his previous efforts will be wasted.

In short, Babcock no longer trusts Leon.

Another point is that next season is Li Ang's contract year. Even if he is not let go this year, there is a high probability that Li Ang will leave after next season.

Babcock is not his predecessor Grunwald, and he will not make the stupid mistake of letting McGrady go for nothing again.

Instead of just waiting to die, it is better to take Li Ang and exchange for something now.

Tanenbaum listened to Babcock's statement, thought for a few minutes, and then waved.

"Go with your plan, Rob."

Li Ang's transaction has officially been given the green light!

"Li, when will you return to China?" Carter looked at Li Ang who was cleaning up the house, feeling a little at a loss.

"I won't go back. I will go directly to Indianapolis to join the national team in a while." Li Ang shrugged.

This summer, Li Ang's international competition tasks are not small.

From the end of August to the beginning of September, we will first play the World Championships in Indianapolis. After the World Championships, from the end of September to the beginning of October, we will play the Busan Asian Games again.

Two international events in one summer can be said to be very rare.

Moreover, after the 2000 Olympic Games, the outside world's expectations for this World Championships are very high.

ESPN conducted a poll asking fans to predict who will become the champion of the World Championships in Indianapolis.

The Chinese team is rare in history, ranking fourth with a support rate of 15%, second only to the Dream Team, Yugoslavia and Canada.

The fans' expectations are not groundless. After all, the Chinese team now has three NBA players at the same time!

Last season, as a rookie, Yao Ming averaged 16.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Bulls, which was better than in history.

Moreover, in the first game against the Sharks, he also scored 19+9 and led the team to defeat the Lakers!

Yao Ming's performance in the NBA is better than in the original history because Li Ang helped him adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of the NBA in advance. Therefore, Yao Ming adapted faster than in the original history and almost plug-and-play as soon as he came on the court.

With the efforts of Yao Ming, Francis, Artest and Oakley, the Bulls finished ninth in the Eastern Conference last season and were only one win away from reaching the playoffs!

The previous year's Bulls only won 15 games in a season. After Yao Ming joined, the Bulls won 43 games a season.

The magnitude of the changes is visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, last season's Bulls team was simply terrifying to people.

Yao Ming and Oakley add Tay Yong, and the whole team can switch freely between playing and fighting.

The three of them always exchanged elbow skills from time to time, which made Xiao Yao's combat effectiveness even more powerful.

Last season, Li Ang averaged 21.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. For the first time in his career, he averaged 20 points per game.

Even though the average points per game is only two points more than in the 00-01 season, it is not easy to get two more points in a basketball game!

Because Carter was injured, Olajuwon lost all his martial arts skills. Therefore, while Li Ang has more shooting rights, he also encounters stronger defenses.

Most of the time, Li Ang is the Raptors' only offensive point.

Therefore, other teams basically use their best defensive players to face Li Ang, and they even do not hesitate to flank Li Ang.

In addition, Li Ang was not very good at holding the ball before the playoffs, so Li Ang's scoring was not so arbitrary.

Despite this, Li Ang was historically selected to the best second team this season, squeezing out Nowitzki and successfully changing from a third team player to a second team player.

Really, once in two formations and once in three formations.

But in terms of the best defensive team, Li Ang still failed to squeeze into the first team. Don't blame Li Ang for not working hard, it's mainly because the defensive abilities of Garnett, Ben and Duncan are too strong.

The three of them occupied the frontcourt positions, and Li Ang could only settle in the second team.

And Kobe was once again forced to be on the same level as Li Ang.

Overall, Li Ang made great progress last season.

But in Babcock's view, Li Ang's potential may have almost been realized, and this is what it is now.

But in fact, Li Ang knows very well that his offensive ability will usher in a phased leap, just next season!

Because after Li Ang was upgraded during the playoffs last season, he has already improved his ball control ability to 81!

Li Ang upgraded three times last season, once at the beginning of the season, once during the season, and once in the playoffs.

The three upgrades totaled 30 points, of which Li Ang spent 15 points on ball control.

The remaining 5 points were used to add passing, and 10 points were used to add steals. Because Li Ang was the only outside gate for the Raptors last season, it was not unusual for him to be always good at stealing.

Just over 80% ball control, although it is not enough to make Li Ang become the next Iverson, it can already develop a ball-handling offense.

The real top defenders all work hard on ball control skills in the early morning!

Li Ang felt that he could learn from it.

Moreover, after a season of practice, Li Ang's dance steps have basically been completed.

Coupled with this is the silver hook badge that I obtained from Yao Ming through the master-apprentice system when I was training with him last summer.

Li Ang's offensive ability in the low post will directly rise to a higher level next season!

Both low-post offense and ball-handling offense have greatly improved. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Ang's offense will directly cross a level.

Not only that, Li Ang also unlocked the diamond-level "Flying Pig Tornado" badge from the Barkley 2.0 copy last season.

The name is a bit silly, but the effect is very good. It can greatly increase the speed of Li Ang's first step when turning his back.

In other words, in the low post next season, Li Ang will be very threatening whether he is turning over for a jump shot, hook shot or back-turn breakthrough.

Her skill is comparable to that of Xiaoli.

The all-round skill is the foundation for Li Ang to use a series of fake moves in the low post to tease his opponents! Because if your abilities are flawed, you won’t be able to deceive your opponents.

For example, if you can't turn over and make a jump shot, then when you fake a shot with your back, people won't take advantage of you at all.

It can only be said that with the addition of Barkley's back-turning badge, Li Ang has almost no shortcomings in the low post.

It's a pity that in last season's copy of Barkley 2.0, Li Ang failed to achieve 100% completion for the first time.

Last season's copy corresponds to Barkley's sophomore performance, with two explicit tasks and one hidden task.

The two clear tasks are to average 20+12 per game and to be selected for the best second team.

And that hidden mission is to break through the second round of the series.

Because in the original history, the second-year Barkley was eliminated in the tiebreaker in the second round.

Therefore, the mission hopes that the host will break through this bottleneck.

The result was fatal, and Li Ang was eliminated in the second round.

According to the rules of this broken system, if you cannot complete the task 100%, you will not be able to obtain all the rewards.

Therefore, Li Ang only got a diamond-level badge from the Barkley 2.0 copy.

But something is better than nothing, not to mention that this flying pig tornado badge is so practical.

Generally speaking, Li Ang's offensive firepower should be improved to a higher level next season.

Li Ang's only question now is where he will go to fulfill his talent next season.

On the other side, although he was still a substitute, due to Li Ang's influence, he started to train physically and finally entered the main rotation.

He averaged 7.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game and shot 33.5% from three-point range. The general confrontation is obviously better than in the original history.

Although it's not yet to the point where he can stand up to the powerful No. 4 position, it can at least allow him to make technical moves calmly during the game.

The most impressive shot of Wang Zhizhi last season was when he flew away from the Wolf King and hit a three-pointer.

It sounded like nothing, but this flash caused 12 stitches in the head.

At that time, Xiaolang saw Wang Zhizhi preparing to take action in the right corner. As a help-defense monster, Hard Special naturally won't easily enlarge his shooting range.

He must let this Chinese know that shooting is not that easy in front of a man full of wolfish nature like me!

Do you really think anyone can ride on my head?

So Ah Jian moved the husky to pounce on the food, and jumped towards him regardless of his own safety.

Don't tell me, I jumped really high and fell really hard.

When he saw Ah Jian jumping over, he smiled coldly in his heart: "Can't I dodge?"

Just like that, Su Su took a step to the side, and after hitting Su Su, Harde rolled over directly from Su Su.

The crow didn't use it on the plane, so it fucked the dog and ate its shit.

Just like that, Ah Jian fell on his face and was badly bruised. He received 12 stitches afterwards.

Ah Jian almost cried at that time, you Chinese players bully others!

Li Ang is fierce, Yao Ming is fierce, and now even you are starting to use personal attacks.

Is it exciting?

You Chinese team, stop playing basketball and go conquer the moon!

In short, the three overseas men's basketball team performed very well last season. Therefore, people are so looking forward to the performance of the Chinese team in the World Championships.

Two years ago, the Chinese team could win silver in the Olympics. Now Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Li Ang have all grown up a lot. Winning gold at the World Championships is not impossible.

As for Bangzi’s slogan of wanting to be at the top of Asian basketball at the Asian Games at home, emmm, the whole Chinese men’s basketball team took it as a joke.

Seeing Li Ang packing his things calmly, Carter sighed.

First it was Tracy McGrady, then Oakley last season, and now it’s Leon again.

Carter watched as people he knew well left the team one by one.

At this time, Carter also discovered the photo frame placed on Li Ang's table. It was the scene when they won the Eastern Conference Championship trophy in 2001.

"Can't you walk?"

"If you don't leave, you can support me." Li Ang made a joke.

"Okay, although I can't play basketball next season, I can steal batteries to support you." Carter also said with a wry smile. He knew that Li Ang did not answer directly, which proved that he had decided to leave.

"Vince, take good care of your injuries. When the young talents from 2003 join the team, you can set sail with the team. Don't be so pessimistic, this is professional basketball, isn't it?"

After Li Ang said that, he hugged Carter tightly.

If possible, of course Li Ang would like to continue joining forces with Carter.

But the current situation is that the bosses believe in Babcock, and that guy will not step down anytime soon.

And Li Ang would never cooperate for that cruel guy.

Carter didn't ask any more questions. He understood Li Ang's choice.

To be honest, he thought Babcock was an asshole, too. He couldn't convince his brother to play for a jerk.

Carter's main reason is that he has just signed a big contract with the team and has to recuperate from injuries. Otherwise, he would not swallow his anger.

While Leon and Carter were reminiscing about their past three years, Babcock was already listening to offers from other teams.

As he expected, Li Ang was very popular in the transfer market.

At the beginning, Babcock was worried that Li Ang's transaction would not go smoothly.

After all, Li Ang's current personality is a thorn in the side of the management, so other teams may avoid him.

But it turned out that he was simply overthinking.

Although Li Ang is not a superstar yet, he is a second-team forward after all.

Not all star forwards without three-point ability cannot be traded.

The Bulls tried to use Yao Ming's little follower Ron Artest and the 2003 first-round pick to exchange for Li Ang, and directly copy the Chinese Great Wall combination to the NBA!

Babcock thought for a while and decided to forget it.

Although he wants to show off, he can't make up for it with someone with a bad brain.

Moreover, Babcock is looking for someone to play with, not another person to fight with.

In addition, as of now, the Bulls' first-round pick is not worth anything.

Last season, the Bulls were one game away from reaching the playoffs. If Li Ang left, wouldn't it be enough for the Bulls to enter the playoffs?

So Babcock rejected the offer.

To be honest, even if the Bulls get another Francis, Babcock would not like it.

He wanted to continue waiting, waiting for someone more sincere to come to his door.

These days, trading rumors about Li Ang have begun to fly everywhere.

What Toronto fans care about most is the daily trade news.

Li Ang is very Buddhist about this. If he is traded to a suitable place, it will definitely be the best.

And if he is traded to a place with a worse environment than the Raptors, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, next season is a contract year. If he is in a team that cannot produce results, Li Ang only needs to brush up his statistics. He will become a free agent in the summer of 2003, and he will not worry about finding a new home.

However, Li Ang still asked Bart Stern: "I don't have any requirements, but it's best to try to get me to a team that can win."

When trading this thing, you have to take the initiative.

It's possible that if you take the initiative, they will quote you a price.

Then the people of Cleveland came to take their emperor home!

The Cavaliers offer Karen Mok Miller + Ricky Davis, please ask the emperor to ascend the throne!

In the season that just passed, Miller averaged a double-double of 16.5 points and 10.9 assists per game. Ricky Davis also showed some potential. The key is that it is cheap and you don't want to throw it away at any time after using it.

In order for the transaction to be successful, Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson even recited a poem:

Carter wants a good point guard, and the point guard's name is Karen Mok.

If Carter plays forward, Ricky charges at the second position.

Brother, what are you waiting for?

Change it!

Every household in Cleveland misses their emperor!

Babcock: Fuck off!

Just trade it for Li Ang and let Li Ang go to Cleveland, unless you are willing to give up the first round pick in 2003.

Paxson was in a dilemma. He asked Li Ang to go home just to form a double emperor egg combination.

I gave you the pick, and I only have one egg.

This won't work.

As a man, there are some things that you can choose, but there are some things that you really can't mess with.

I only have one egg. People won’t laugh at me if word spreads about it.

This offer scared the Cavaliers back. James and Leon, the Cavaliers wanted to catch them all.

They terminated the deal, so they can't sign Li Ang naked next year. After all, the Cavaliers don't need results immediately.

In fact, Babcock's and Leon's needs conflicted.

Leon wanted to go to a team that could win, but Babcock wanted the high draft pick in 2003.

No team that can afford a high draft pick can win.

Those who can win don't have high draft picks.

And the most important thing is that most teams that can win don't dare to rashly add a "thorn" like Li Ang to the team that may explode at any time.

Although Li Ang is actually very popular in the team, misunderstandings are so deep-rooted in this era.

It seems that Li Ang can only suffer for one year and go to a bad team to improve his statistics. I'll make other plans when the summer of 2003 is over.

Just when Li Ang was preparing to start the sewer mode next season, Bart Stern called.

"Li, I found it, I found it!" The agent's voice was very excited.

"What did you find? Did you dig up Tiga under the ground?"

"What a mess, we found a home!"

They need to have high draft picks and be able to win, but they don't care about Li Ang's status as a thorn in the side, and they also need to urgently improve their performance. They don't care that Li Ang only has a one-year contract.

Leon's loyal tool man Bart Stern has really found a team that meets all these demanding conditions, the only one in the league!

The next day, there was an earthquake all over Toronto.

Because just one week after the transfer market opened, Li Ang's deal was finalized!

The front-page headlines of all Toronto newspapers are news about Leon, breaking news:

Toronto's demigod descends on the Motor City!

Thanks to book friend 20190308141639022 for the reward, thank you brother!
