Basketball: Dayao Reopened

After the finals, after a two-day rest, Yao Ming immediately discussed with Steve Patterson about his plans for the next season. He has a lot of things this summer. The first is the shooting of "This Is Basketball". The second is his wedding with Ye Li, and then the Asian Championships. Together, these things are enough for him to spend a summer. In fact, with the current strength of the China Men’s Basketball, it doesn’t matter whether Yao Ming plays or not in the Asian Cup. The probability of not winning the championship is very small, but officially because of the possibility of losing the Asian Cup, Yao Ming had to play. Next year will be the 2008 Olympic Games. This is a game at his own door. Although as the host, the China Men’s Basketball Team will automatically win He won the qualification for the Men’s Basketball Championship, but Yao Ming still wants to grab this ticket. The purpose is, there is no other day, just to add some blockage to the country and the country where the small life is not good... …

In addition, in addition to the Asian Cup, Yao Ming also contacted the NBA official and asked the China Men’s Basketball Team without him to play in the summer league as a special summer league team. Yao Ming also did this back then. Now he has done it again, but some The embarrassing thing is that the last time the China Men’s Basketball Team lost miserably in the Summer League. This time Yao Ming hopes to win so many two games. The current China Men’s Basketball Team is stronger than the original ones. Maybe , Can really complete some upset...

Let’s say it or not. From here, we can see that Yao Ming’s energy can actually allow the China Men’s Basketball Team to enter the summer league for training. In fact, after this incident, Yao Ming’s selection as the basketball chairman is a certainty. Now, because of his influence, it is strange that he is not selected!

The official has also taken action, and organized the Four Nations Invitational to exercise.

Of course, whether it is the Summer League or the Four Nations Invitational, Yao Ming will definitely not participate. With his current strength, participating in these competitions is impossible for the China Men's Basketball Team to have a training effect.

This also makes him a lot less work, but even so, he is busy enough this summer, so before that, he must first plan the Blazers summer arrangements, he may not be able to take care of this side. arrange.

Steve Patterson naturally prepared his notebook obediently and waited for Yao Ming to assign him tasks. After winning the two consecutive championships, the founding of the dynasty is right in front of him. Patterson was naturally more obedient.

In fact, their group of presidents don't want to think about how to solve the problem by themselves. If there is a bright light shining in front, he just needs to follow the instructions and go on. There is lightness and credit. Why not?

It's a pity that most of the CEOs still have to do it by themselves, and they have to pay for their own ideas, and go down accidentally. Only Steve Patterson, who is on the table with his feet on the table every day, doesn't have to think about other things!

This president is extremely comfortable!

It can be said that the president of the entire alliance does not envy him!

Therefore, even if the Trail Blazers have a heavy task this summer, Steve Patterson is not panic at all, and even wants to laugh a little.

Huh... I have a Yao name, what am I afraid of!

Yao Ming didn't know his thoughts, otherwise he would definitely roll his eyes.

The Trail Blazers have won two consecutive championships. There is no doubt that the next goal is "three consecutive championships." However, the current situation is that the Trail Blazers will have many key players whose contracts expire this summer. trouble.

Patterson’s idea is to stay as much as possible. After all, Paul Allen is behind him. It’s not bad for money. Although many general managers of teams outside are waiting for the free market to open up and the Blazers can grab people, Paul After hearing these news, Alan couldn't help but feel nervous, but became excited: If I played like this, I would be excited!

Yao Ming has a different idea. After he has won two consecutive championships, especially when the second championship is still so simple, the team's desire for a championship is no longer so sufficient. NS!

Of course it’s not that the Trail Blazers have such a problem. Any team has such a problem. There is no way. People’s desire for a championship has a limit. After winning the championship, especially after winning twice, the desire is true. The reason why the Lakers, which have won two championship trophies in the 10-11 season, did not win the championship, but the main reason for the internal conflicts is that many players no longer care about winning! Then coupled with the injury, this team failed to complete the "three consecutive championships", which is Kobe's most regrettable thing.

In addition to the Lakers, there are many other championship teams that also have this problem. This is also the reason why there are so few teams that can defend the championship the following year. In addition to external factors, there are also big internal problems!

Yao Ming has always taken this issue to heart. It just so happens that this year the Trail Blazers have many players whose contracts expire, and they can do a wave of exchanges.

The main purpose of the exchange is also very simple. Find a bunch of guys who are eager to win to increase the team's desire for the championship.

For championship teams, the team atmosphere is really important. Just look at the Trail Blazers a few years ago and the Trail Blazers now.

However, Yao Ming is also very clear that a big change is possible, but it cannot shake the core lineup of the Trail Blazers: "Vince has to give him a maximum salary contract, and Kwame also needs to stay, Laga's contract year next season , Don’t worry about renewing his contract. You also know how strong the players in the contract year will be!"

So there is no need to worry about the enthusiasm of the starting five to win the championship.

In fact, when Steve Patterson heard this, there is another worry, that is, Yao Ming has reached the last year of his contract, and next year is also the last year of Yao Ming...Of course, it is not Yao Ming who is anxious, but He, the president of the Trail Blazers!

If you can renew the contract with Yao Ming in advance, then this is definitely a great achievement!

After hesitating for a while, he still said the matter: "Man, only if you are stable can we be stable!"

Yao Ming thought about this, and said: "Man, don't worry, next summer, I will wait for you to deliver the contract!"

Yao Ming’s guarantee, although it was only a verbal agreement, immediately relieved Steve Patterson a lot.

"As for the next players, just follow the actual situation. If there is a team that raises the price, you can let go. What we need more are players who are eager to win the championship!"

"OK, I got it!" Steve Patterson heard Yao Ming's words, and he was suddenly clear, and then he entered into the contract renewal negotiation with Vince Carter and others.

Yao Ming flew directly back to China and began recording variety shows.

With the passing of time, Steve Patterson brought good news and bad news. Those who should renew their contracts have already renewed their contracts. Vince Carter and Kwame Brown are all determined to be in the next few years. Will stay with the Trail Blazers, which allowed the Trail Blazers to leave the core lineup as Yao Ming expected, but there is still a bad news. The Trail Blazers won two consecutive championships, which allowed the general managers of other teams in the league to start. Very tacitly boycotted the Trail Blazers, and began to grab people frantically. For example, Michael Finley received a two-year 18 million contract, which is far more than Michael Finley’s current value... In the following time, it became more and more intense, and the goals that Steve Patterson wanted to advance were all blocked by other general managers in advance.

no surprise!

These guys have started!

Yao Ming is not surprised at this. This is the NBA. Too much success often invites vicious competition. It seems that you can only use other methods to reinforce it!

I originally wanted to get along with you as ordinary people, but now that you are so hard, then I won't pretend, it's a showdown, I am the reopened Dayao!

"How many draft picks do we have this year?"

Yao Ming asked.

"There are four in total, one is the 15th pick in the first round, the 30th pick in the first round, the 36th pick from the previous round, and the 60th pick in the second round..."

Oh?

There is actually a 15th pick in the first round?

Yao Ming understood that this sign was mainly obtained when he traded for Ratliff, but this sign was later traded by Steve Patterson and changed to this year's sign.

This is interesting.

2007 is the year of the draft!

Now that the normal reinforcement encounters difficulties, we can only use these picks to find out if there is any immediate combat power that can be used...

Yao Ming immediately asked Steve Patterson for a list of candidates for this year’s draft. He said that when he knew that the Trail Blazers had a 15th pick in the first round this year, he regretted making Stephen Cue a little bit. Li has played in ncaa for one more year. Stephen Curry's market this year is probably between the 15th and 20th picks in the first round. He can just cut the Hu, and as far as Stephen Curry's play style is concerned, he can definitely integrate into the Trail Blazers. Lineup.

But now Stephen Curry has announced that he will continue to fight ncaa, he doesn't need to think about these things anymore.

He carefully checked everyone’s information, and combined the current news, and finally selected 3 targets. As for why he didn’t choose 4, the 60th overall pick in the second round, he really couldn’t choose anyone, so he Suggest that Steve Patterson sold it.

What's interesting is that this sign actually sold for 300,000...Even Steve Patterson could not believe that this sign was worth 300,000.

These guys from the outside world really spare no effort to weaken their power!

The experience of these days alone has made Yao Ming feel that the road to "three consecutive championships" has a long way to go...

After another half a month or so, Yao Ming successfully ended his variety show, and the 2007 draft was officially started. Yao Ming took the time to learn about this draft.

Like the original, Oden became the No. 1 pick in 2007, regardless of whether the original Trail Blazers general manager said in the future "I will choose Oden ten thousand times" or not, but Speaking of Greg Oden's physical condition, it is indeed worthy of the No. 1 pick to go to Bo Yibo. You must know that even the "sugar people" have people who go to Bo Yibo, and there is really no problem in trying Oden!

It was the Lakers who chose Oden!

Yes, the Lakers, who played very badly last season, got the No. 1 pick as they wished!

The outside world called this No. 1 pick as "Stern's first step to support Kobe."

For this reason, when David Stern appeared in Madison Square Garden, he was booed by the fans in New York, and he couldn't help but miss the great night of the Trail Blazers.

The second pick in the first round did not change much. Kevin Durant became the final prospect. The team that chose him did not change, or the Sonics.

The third pick in the first round was for the Hawks. They did not have any surprises. Horford was selected. So far, the three guys who were called the most likely to become superstars before the 2007 NBA Draft have all been selected. Let the suspense suddenly become a lot smaller.

However, a lot of "unexpected incidents" occurred. For example, the Grizzlies first picked Mike Conley with their fourth pick in the first round, and then they picked Mark Gar with the 34th pick in the second round. Sol... plus the Zach Randolph they have already acquired, the core of the 11th Grizzlies is already in place ahead of schedule!

The only question is whether Marc Gasol can log in to the NBA next season.

It was also this problem that made Yao Ming give up selecting Marc Gasol.

The Trail Blazers finally selected Wilson Chandler with the fifteenth overall pick in the first round. This is a very good immediate ability to defend against the third and fourth positions. He was chosen to compensate for Michael. Finley's departure, and the 30th overall pick of the Trail Blazers in the first round, Landry, the "magic bird", his fighting spirit is the key to Yao Ming's choice of him. The final championship requires this kind of fighting guy to continue to influence. In the team atmosphere, there is also a 36th overall pick in the second round. The Trail Blazers chose Josh McRoberts, a blue-collar power forward who has been in the NBA for 12 seasons. One of the things that guy is most famous for is that he was extremely frustrated because he didn't grab the defensive rebounds, which eventually caused him to lose control of his emotions~www.wuxiaspot.com~ tore his jersey torn...and this is why Yao Ming chose him, this Like Landry, he is also a player full of energy!

Said that these three players are also Yao Ming's first qualifiers. The reason why these three guys can be selected successfully is because the Blazers did not try out these three guys at all!

With lessons learned from the past, Steve Patterson madly released smoke bombs before the trial training, and tried out many other players, and all of those players who performed well were selected in advance. These three Trail Blazers teams The guys who didn't try out were all left, and the Blazers were selected as they wished!

When the three of them were selected by the Trail Blazers, they all looked dumbfounded. Have I tried out with the Trail Blazers? Why choose me? Am I really selected by the Trail Blazers?

After these three guys were selected, Steve Patterson was relieved to have an excited hug with John Nash.

At the same time, he looked at the general managers of the other teams very loudly.

Let you always target me!

Huh~

You continue to target it!
