Healing Basketball

   Chapter 1006 1006. Brother Gasol

   It's not just the officials of the Blue Association who followed the new head, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have also been sour these two days.

  Two days ago, on the 16th, the Trail Blazers officially announced that they signed a one-year $5 million contract with former Suns coach Mike D'Antoni to serve as a consultant to the coaching staff.

  As soon as this news came out, the basketball world was shocked.

  No one cares how much improvement D'Antoni can bring to the Trail Blazers by joining the Trail Blazers.

  The key is a consultant with $5 million.

  Hao is inhumane!

  There are not many head coaches with a salary higher than this in the NBA, which is much higher than D'Antoni's salary when he was the head coach of the Suns.

  I heard that the Knicks were also discussing joining with D'Antoni. As a result, the Trail Blazers gave up a job with less work and more money, but the Knicks' long-term contract was rejected.

   The Trail Blazers hired Pistons trainer Mark Jackson as a trainee assistant for $15,000 a week, and no one noticed.

  The Lakers are very willing to spend money, and the Pistons have spent money like water in the past two years, but this time Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming are still very sour.

   The Trail Blazers' actions really feel too much!

The other players in the Chinese men's basketball team, whether it is Liu Xiu's talent or Liu Xiu's team operation, treat it as a "legendary story". All emotions are worship, those people really can only be sour.

  …

  After the list of 12 people was determined, the Chinese men's basketball team entered the final stage of preparation.

   Everyone is delighted with the preparation progress!

  The core members have not changed, and have become stronger. The main role players are still those people, and they have gradually reached their peak. There are also newcomers such as Yi Jianlian and Wang Shipeng who have grown up...

  Everyone can feel that they are stronger than they were two years ago! Much stronger!

  When the time came to the end of the month, athletes from other countries came to the Olympic Village one after another.

   On the 30th, Liu Xiu was entrusted by the club. After training, he took his second apprentice to the leisure area in the center of the Olympic Village to meet with the Spanish genius they selected in 2007.

   Arrived at the restaurant and saw the Gasol brothers.

   Liu Xiu greeted enthusiastically first: "Wow, do you still need your parents to accompany you when you see your new teammates? Spanish baby."

  Pau Gasol, who was about to take the initiative to say hello, turned green all of a sudden, and he closed his mouth and didn't plan to speak.

  Although Gasol’s egg hurts, he thinks it’s too normal, and he’s also a little inexplicably happy—hey, I’m not the only one named Gasol who was hurt by the warden!

  Zhu Fangyu sighed in her heart that the master is the master, and said to Gasol in Spanish: "Mark, don't worry, my master speaks like that, not against you."

   Little Gasol nodded to Zhu Fangyu when he heard the words, his teammates comforted him, and he felt a little more comfortable, but he didn't believe it.

   "Bajie, your Spanish is getting better and better." Liu Xiu praised him with the broken Spanish he learned from Kobe.

  Zhu Fangyu has black lines all over his head, this time it is his turn to be cured.

I didn’t know that I could learn a third language. Before I went to Spain, I practiced English hard, and I went to Hong Kong to practice oral English for a month. The teacher said that I lived alone in the United States, and there was no problem in daily communication. As a result, after I went to Spain Only then did I know that Spanish was spoken there—when Zhu Fangyu said these words to Liu Xiu back then, she was smoking a cigarette and had a beard, looking extremely lonely and lonely.

  Both Gasol and Bajie were cured, but Gasol feels that he is in a good mood!

  This atmosphere is not suitable for talking about any serious business. The Olympic Games have not started yet, and the time is still long. Let's find another opportunity.

  During the meal, Gasol, who was in a good mood, chatted with Liu Xiu about the free market.

   Gasol felt that after getting to know Liu Xiu, chatting with Liu Xiu was actually very happy, because Liu Xiu is very good at chatting, as long as he can ignore Liu Xiu's occasional healing attacks, the topic will never stop.

   I really can't ignore it, so I just carry it, I can't bear it... Then stop talking, and talk about it next time when I have a chance, anyway, I don't see it every day.

  After dinner, Liu Xiu took the second apprentice back to the unit building, and the Gasol brothers left in another direction.

There was no one else, and Zhu Fangyu, who only had a few words occasionally during the meal, asked: "Master, don't you think that Mark looks fierce, fat and bearded, has a hot temper, and speaks vulgarly... Uh, in this way, he Not really a nice guy...

  No, no, he is actually quite nice. He takes good care of me in the Barcelona team. He will soon become your teammate. Should we be more polite? "

Liu Xiu shook her head: "It's not certain that I can become a teammate. The offseason is still long. Don't worry about that. Brother Gasol has a much hotter temper than his brother. If he is really angry this time, in the finals if we and They played against each other, and that might help."

  Should I say insidious or powerful? Zhu Fangyu thinks it's amazing, his master, of course it's amazing.

   But it might be because the other party is his club teammate, he still felt it was wrong and asked, "What if we don't meet in the finals?"

   "That's not it." Liu Xiu looked indifferent.

   "This... Forget it, by the way, Master, didn't you say that he is going to sign with your team? You and him have such a tense relationship, what should you do if there is internal strife?" Zhu Fangyu reminded.

  After saying this, Zhu Fangyu felt that Liu Xiu looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

   "I am your master, the leader of the dynasty, the three-time MVP, the warden of the prison team, and the great general."

   "Yeah...yeah..."

  (￣△￣;)

  Zhu Fangyu found that he really thought too much...

   On the other side, the Gasol brothers were also chatting on the way back to the unit building.

   Gasol complained: "Paul, why do you have to let me go to the Trail Blazers? I don't like that guy! Proud, arrogant..."

After his brother finished complaining, Gasol said: "I have played in the NBA for seven years. In a team without other stars, it is difficult for me to play in the playoffs once. I am willing to endure, but every time I play Going back to the club after the national team game, I can't bear it anymore, but I can only endure it."

   Gasol Jr. was silent for a while, and said: "They already have many excellent insiders, and I may not necessarily have my position."

  Pau Gasol asked: "They took the initiative to contact you to sign, right?"

   Gasol Jr. nodded: "That's right."

   "Then they should be very interested in you and feel that you will become a part of them." Gasol's tone was firm.

  In addition to the firm tone, Gasol Jr. also felt other emotions. Does my brother seem to be envious of him?

   But this matter is not important now, Gasol asked: "Paul, why do you think I can be part of them?"

   "Because they are a dynasty team, their goal now is to win the championship!"

   "Only winning the championship?"

"Yes, for them, every player in the team is very important, everyone will have a chance, I believe your talent is better than mine, as long as they give you a chance, you can play, you It will definitely become even better than their twin towers.

  And only after you become teammates with the warden, can you know what the best outside line in the world is..."

  Brother’s words made Gasol very excited.

  But Gasol found a blind spot and asked: "Paul, you know them so well, do you want to join them?"

  As soon as the words came out, Gasol closed himself on the spot...

  …

  Meeting the Gasol brothers is just a meal for Liu Xiu.

  But the next morning, he received a call from the vice president, thanking him for his help. Gasol Jr. had a much stronger intention to join, and he was not as resistant as he was at first.

   Liu Xiu was puzzled, he was thinking that he didn't say anything last night?

  But if Gasol wants to join, he is naturally very happy.

  Different from Jr. Jordan, Jr. Gasol is not only talented, but also has strong combat power.

   Don't look at this guy with a streaky body, but when he is 33 or 4 years old in the future, in the small ball era, he can still serve as the core center of the championship team.

   The fundamental reason for Liu Xiu's attitude towards Gasol Jr. is that he feels that Gasol Jr. may not be willing to come to them.

He remembered that Gasol in the original time and space was afraid of being drafted by the Pistons, Spurs, Jazz, Rockets, Suns and other teams with powerful insiders in 2007, and was finally selected by the Lakers without a strong center. I am overjoyed.

   Not only can meet his requirements to become the main center immediately, but he is still in a big city.

   In the end, I didn't expect my brother to **** the opportunity to go to the big city.

   Liu Xiu was shocked.

   Could it be that the little sister-in-law is a victim?

  Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

   No, the sister-in-law seems to be more like Shou.

   Not important! If the little sister-in-law doesn't make a fuss about being traded away, it will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the depth of their trailblazers!

  Liu Xiu put this matter aside first, let’s talk about the future. The most important thing right now is the Olympics.

  But on the last day of July, a player who had caught the appetite of basketball fans for a month decided to move on.

  BJ time is approaching noon, and at midnight on the US side, Yahoo sports columnist Wojin Navorsky broke the news that Artest decided to join the Raptors!

  …

  …

  I feel unwell, dizzy and have a runny nose. After taking the medicine, I started to feel drowsy in the afternoon. Today’s update only has six or seven thousand words. Xiaofeng tried his best. Please bear with me, friends.
