Crowds of people!

Use one word to describe Germany today, and this idiom is the most appropriate.

Even though the World Cup has reached the semi-final stage and most countries have gone home, Germany is still "overcrowded".

The streets and alleys of Dortmund are occupied by fans of the host Germany team, and occasionally some fans wearing Italian team uniforms can be seen. The semi-final between the two teams will start tomorrow night.

The streets were full of fans singing, and from time to time there were some football hooligans causing trouble and fighting. This scene made Wang Lifan, a fake foreign girl who grew up in the United States, a little uncomfortable with it.

Although American sports are developed, fans have more of an appreciation and entertainment attitude towards the games. Unlike European sports, which include competition in various aspects such as religion, region, culture, belief and even race. Ridicule, insults,

Fighting with fists and kicks and even picking up bottles of wine and throwing them at each other are commonplace.

In the Los Angeles derby, it's okay for Lakers fans to sit among Clippers fans; in the Rome derby, if Roma fans dare to sit among Lazio fans, they will only end up frustrated. This is definitely not an exaggeration. Football hooligans can do anything.

Having studied in Germany for many years, Ke Yan definitely supports the German team in addition to the Chinese team. For this reason, he went to the fan store to buy a German team jersey number 11.

As she married, Wang Lifan also put on a German women's jersey with the number 7 printed on it, which was her lucky number.

"711?" The white color of the German team's jersey plus these two numbers reminded Ke Yan of the future "Durant Irving" combination of the Nets.

That is truly a speechless combination!

But before 711, the Nets were also a team that Musk and Atkins pulled up from the trough. Russell, Dinwiddie, LeVert, Joe Harris, Allen and others helped the Nets

The team made it to the playoffs and the whole team is thriving.

Later, they got the opportunity to introduce Durant and Irving, but slowly lost their team culture in the connivance of the superstars, took the wrong path of team building, and ultimately failed!

For Ke Yan and the Eagles, this is a warning.

The team has become more competitive, but it also puts Key Yan's management talents to the test.

Wearing the jersey of the German team, Ke Yan saw the European king, Anthony Parker, who had specially changed into a suit and was sitting in the hotel waiting for him.

Anthony Parker, 31 years old, is a member of the golden generation of 1996, but has "no place" in the NBA. His rookie contract was abandoned by the team before it was even completed.

After that, he left the United States and came to Europe, completing the conquest of the European fiba system by American players.

In his first year in Europe, Anthony Parker led Maccabi to win the Israeli League Championship, the Israeli Cup Championship and the UEFA Champions League Championship. He averaged 14.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in the Israeli League. In the UEFA Champions League, he averaged 1.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

16.5 points and 5.2 rebounds.

In the European tactical system that focuses on team basketball, it is not easy to score this number.

In the next five years, Anthony Parker continued his path of conquering Europe. In six years in Europe, he won 6 league championships, 4 domestic cup championships and 2 Champions League championships. Not only did he win

He was awarded the title of "King of Europe" and was even selected into the "50 Greatest Stars of the European League".

Long before the team went all-in with Garnett, Ke Yan already had plans to introduce Anthony Parker.

At that time, he had already made initial contact with Anthony Parker through his classmates in Europe, and Parker was full of interest in returning to the NBA.

After James Posey was put on the Garnett trade list, Ke Yan had greater confidence in convincing Anthony Parker that he could provide Anthony Parker with more playing time and even a starting position.

For Anthony Parker himself, returning to the NBA is a big challenge.

After all, his previous NBA experience was not pleasant!

Otherwise, an American would never choose to come to Europe, which has a general basketball atmosphere, to work hard.

The meeting between Ke Yan and Anthony Parker went smoothly. Parker was cautious about returning to the NBA, after all, he had already established a foundation in Europe. But when he joined the Hawks, Parker was very confident.

"At the beginning of the season, I plan to make you the team's starting small forward. Your shooting is very accurate and your skills are comprehensive. You can play a key role in our run-in in the new season." Ke Yan said, "On the defensive end, we have

kg, his ability to help defend can make up for your weaknesses very well."

There is no player who can conquer Europe who has poor basic skills, and the same is true for Anthony Parker. On the offensive end, whether it is catching the ball and shooting at a fixed point, or holding the ball to find a cover and shooting, Parker has a good level; and why couldn't he play in the NBA in the first place?

Out? In addition to injuries, the main reason is dynamic talent deviation. Especially as a shooting guard, his lateral movement ability is weak and it is easy for his opponent to break through the first line of defense.

After so many years of training in Europe, Anthony Parker's defense has improved. Limited by his physical talent, his mobility is still average, but he is more experienced in blocking positions and his defensive actions are more "standard". With Garnett's help

If he fills the position, it will be more conducive for him to play to his strengths.

Ke Yan's analysis actually included some summaries of his previous life, and some of them came from his own understanding of basketball. The analysis was clear and logical.

Anthony Parker, Kittles Hassell, this configuration is not very strong, but the three players have their own characteristics, and they can also bring the Eagles' strength at the small forward position to a level above the well-off.

Unless a team has the right time, place, and people, it will be difficult for a team to form a lineup with top players in five positions. Take the Warriors as an example. Curry's "child labor contract" salary space suddenly increased sharply.

Green and Thompson renewed their contracts in advance, and all kinds of coincidences came together to welcome Durant to join. This opportunity comes once in a century.

It is not easy for the Eagles to have a relatively competitive rotation lineup under the configuration of the "Big Three"!

Anthony Parker agreed to join the Hawks, and he quickly informed his agent of the decision, and even the price was negotiated. The contract with the team option on 21, totaled 13.5 million, which was very generous.

Whether it’s worth the price or not, we’ll have to wait until the season starts to play!

"I have never fought such a rich battle in my life!" After the signing was completed, Larry Sander called Ke Yan to tell him the good news. Next, it was the turn of the three rookies to sign.

"How's it going over there at Gibson?" Ke Yan asked with concern.

"I'm dragging it on, expecting the Cavaliers to rescue him!" Larry Sander was very dissatisfied. "How can a second-round pick have the confidence?"

"His strength is actually quite good. He can probably be ranked in the top 20 among this rookie class." Ke Yan said, "We actually got a big bargain."

"Then I can't let him go! A strong melon is not sweet, but it can quench your thirst~" Larry Sander trusted Ke Yan's vision very much. He said that Gibson was worth a first-rounder, and he was worth a first-rounder.

.

The Hawks have no particularly suitable candidate for backup point guard, and Ke Yan is better at using this kind of shooting point guard. Gibson is really promising in the Hawks. Therefore, it is very frustrating for him to insist on assisting James.

It's hard for people to understand.

Anyway, the Hawks have already signed Bobby Jackson, so there won't be much of a problem with him serving as a backup point guard.

Let’s leave Gibson’s problem to rest. If Ke Yan loses his patience one day, he will never play in the NBA again!

...

On July 1, the free agent market opened, and the first news was not a signing news, but a deal completed by the Bucks and Raptors. The team exchanged the team's point guard T.J. Ford to the Raptors.

, acquired their promising power forward Villanueva and some cash from the Raptors.

With the sudden emergence of Mo Williams, TJ Ford no longer has much value to the Bucks. The Spanish point guard Calderon of the Raptors has a decent shooting, but the overall performance is mediocre. The team needs TJ Ford to strengthen it.

At the back, this is a deal where everyone gets what they need.

Subsequently, the Magic completed a blockbuster signing. The team signed Peja for 63 million in five years, which greatly improved the team's outside firepower!

Coupled with the trade of Bynum's draft picks and Josh Smith, the Magic formed a starting lineup of "Nelson Pejatkogru, Josh Smith and Howard". In terms of strength, it is possible to hit the top four in the Eastern Conference or even higher.

!

Seeing this deal, Ke Yan also scratched his head a little. The Magic's team building plan has completely changed, but it seems to be stronger. In the future, they may not have room to chase Lewis, but they will have enough room to keep Turkoglu.

If Peja can stay healthy and paired with Howard's threat inside, this Magic team may grow into a rival for the Hawks in the East.

The Chicago Bulls traded Chandler for PJ Brown and J.R. Smith of the Hornets, and at the same time, signed Ben Wallace at a high price of 60 million in 4 years!

Obviously, this is a "short-sighted" personnel change. Ben Wallace is already 32 years old, which is already a relatively dangerous age for a short insider who relies on athletic ability.

But the Bulls are eager to produce results. They have enough young talents in the team. A veteran with championship experience can help the team make a difference in the playoffs, and the experience in the playoffs can help young players grow quickly.

!

Without Ben Wallace, the Pistons' top five became a thing of the past. The team promptly signed Mohammed from the Spurs as a supplement, but in the eyes of fans, the Pistons' decline in strength was irreversible. Perhaps the team has truly passed the time.

opened his own window to win the championship.

Rockets general manager Dawson made another mistake. They used a four-year, 20 million contract to sign Mike James, who had good statistics with the Raptors last season. Rockets fans have never been too fond of Alston.

Satisfied, but the fact is that neither Mike James nor Brooks did as well as Alston in terms of "passing the ball to Yao Ming".

Without getting Battier, the Rockets' prospects for the new season may not be as good as they were in the previous life. This is also the butterfly effect derived from Ke Yan's time travel.

The situation of the entire alliance is slowly changing!

...

On July 2, at the Westfalenstadion, Ke Yan and the 76,000 fans present witnessed Grosso's fatal blow and witnessed Del Piero's first show of strength on the World Cup stage. The German tank finally fell.

In front of the Italian team's reinforced concrete defense line, the German fans at the scene were devastated and in tears.

Wang Lifan took out a tissue and handed it to Keyan, but saw that although his face was not very good, he was not crying for the German team.

"It's not that the Chinese team lost, I just went to school in Germany." Ke Yan smiled bitterly and reached out to rub Wang Lifan's hair.

"Ha, I thought you were so hardcore~" Wang Lifan stuck out his tongue and then asked, "Then if the Eagles win the championship, will you cry?"

"If you study neurosurgery, you should know that there is an amygdala in the human brain. I have had an MRI and my amygdala is 1% smaller than the average person." Ke Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of this

, my mood swings are smaller than the average person. So I am calmer than the average person."

"Do you still have problems with the amygdala?" Wang Lifan looked at Ke Yan with interest and shook his head, "When we get married, I have to do another MRI on you to re-examine your brain."

"When?" Ke Yan asked in surprise.

"When we get married~" Wang Lifan followed Ke Yan's lead and said smoothly.

"To be specific, when?" Ke Yan continued to ask.

"Just...when we get married." Wang Lifan's eyes were blurred and he continued to whet Keyan's appetite.

"Haha~" Ke Yan put his arms around Wang Lifan and kissed her on the face, "I have to make some achievements as soon as possible to propose to you."

"Eh~!" Wang Lifan wrinkled his nose, turned away, and stopped continuing the topic.

The German team's defeat in the semi-finals meant that Ke Yan did not have a home team in the final, so he only had to watch football master Zidane's last dance with an appreciative attitude.

Ke Yan went on vacation early and followed Wang Lifan to live his own life in Germany. Each NBA team continued its own reinforcement plan.

Eddie House followed Ke Yan's suggestion and signed with the Bucks on a four-year, 16 million contract to serve as the second point guard.

Mo Williams and Michael Reed are both guards with strong shooting ability. The addition of House can continue their shooting firepower on the bench. Moreover, Michael Reed is a glass man and is easily injured. House has the opportunity to get more

After the signing was completed, Ke Yan also expressed his blessing to him.

The Suns, which failed in the battle for House, then signed Banks as a supplement, with a total contract price of 18 million over five years.

This floor-level point guard has acceptable abilities, but his ability without the ball is not very good and his shooting ability is average. He is really not suitable for the Suns, who mainly focus on running and gunning. Ke Yan is not optimistic about D'Antoni's signing.

After the Suns signed Banks, Ke Yan also wanted to take advantage of the situation and ask about Barbosa. If the Brazilian Lightning could be introduced, then the Eagles really don't have to worry about the substitute lineup next season. They are guaranteed to be top three in the league!

As a result, D'Antoni "laughed and scolded" him and pushed him back.

Last season, the Suns lost Stoudemire, and their hard power was lower than that of the Spurs and Mavericks, making it difficult to break out of the Western Conference. The Hawks had just emerged from the trough, and it was difficult for the two teams to compete in terms of positioning, and they were respectively in the Western Conference.

In the East and West, the Suns were happy to send Joe Johnson to the Hawks when they couldn't keep him, so they cooperated with the Hawks to complete the sign s

But this season, the Suns are about to welcome Stoudemire back, and competing for the championship is their only goal; the Hawks have also joined Garnett, and their strength has reached the first level in the Eastern Conference, and they have the strength to compete for the championship.

There is more or less a competitive relationship between the two teams. In this case, it is not easy to reach a deal.

What's more, Barbosa himself is in D'Antoni's team building plan. In the new season, he will be an important ball carrier for the Suns' second team!

Compared with the sensation on draft day, there was little overall movement in the free agent market. Except for the Magic's signing of Peja, which significantly improved the team's strength, other major events did not change the league's structure. The strong teams are all in an orderly manner.

Self-adjustment, mid-range teams are also moving towards their season goals.

However, the lake surface that is calm on the surface may also have undercurrents, but no one is aware of it yet!

...

On the stage of the World Cup final, Zidane composed the last movement of his career with his Marseille dance steps. His performance in the first 112 minutes almost secured him the Ballon d'Or. Everyone believed that even if he lost the final, Zidane would still win.

Is a Ballon d'Or winner.

However, Materazzi's dirty words triggered Zidane's "shocking slap". Zidane ended his World Cup journey and his career in an incredible way. And he and Hercules

The scene of the cup passing by has become an eternal classic of the World Cup. And the other protagonist of the incident, Materazzi, has become Italy's hero.

In this World Cup final and the entire World Cup, Zidane was the hero of the French team, playing the role of "angel", but became the "devil" in the second half of overtime.

Sometimes, there really is only a thin line between angels and devils.

Life is like a chocolate, you never know whether the next one will be bitter or sweet. Just when Ke Yan was enjoying the joy and touch brought by the World Cup in Berlin, Larry Sander called unexpectedly.

"Kimi, something happened to Kerry!"

"What?" Ke Yan was surprised.

"Something happened to Kerry!"
