Chapter 268: The Heat's 3 giants fit together, and the World Championships begin!
Popular recommendation:
The Miami Heat have broken the rivers and lakes league. Before the Big Three, there has never been a period in which three players at the peak of the league appeared on the same team. Such a situation has never happened, it is unbelievable!
Therefore, the older generation of players feel that they do not have the so-called loyalty of the world, and the young people feel that the league will be ruled by them in the future.
It can be said that when the Heat form such a Big Three, only the fans of the Miami Heat in the world may be immersed in endless fantasies, and everyone else is attacking them. The object of verbal criticism, because they feel that the Heat have destroyed the balance of the league.
The composition of the Heat's Big Three also overshadowed all the signing news.
The Boston Celtics signed Jermaine O'Neal.
Charlotte Bobcats trade Alexis Akinsa and Tyson Chandler to Dallas Mavericks for Matt Carroll, Eric Dampier, Eduardo Najera and cash .
…
News of these trade signings was completely overshadowed by the composition of the Heat's Big Three.
When Lian Dao heard the news of the formation of the Heat's Big Three, Sun Yue told Lian Dao.
At that time, all the members of the national team, including Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, were a little surprised when they heard the news, but only Lian Dao was very calm.
"Aren't you surprised at all? Aren't the Knicks determined to win the championship next season?" Sun Yue asked curiously.
"Huh? Should I be surprised? Well, I'll reorganize my emotions!" Lian Dao cleared his throat and adjusted his emotions.
"Ah? James, Bosh and Wade formed the Big Three? My God!" Lian Dao's exaggerated expression immediately received all the members of the national team.
They also didn't know whether it was Lian Dao's good psychological quality, or that this guy was really heartless.
Both belong to the Eastern Division, and the Knicks will have at least four games against the Heat in the regular season next season.
In fact, it's not that Lian Dao is heartless, but that Lian Dao knows that in the first season of the formation of the Big Three, their lineup needs a long time to adjust, and the problem of ball possession alone is what they need to solve most.
You must know that whether it is James, Wade, or Bosh, they were the core players of the team before this. Not so easy to fix.
Although the formation of the Big Three is completed, the Heat paid a very high price in order to sign the Big Three. Not to mention the overdrafted ball picks in the future, just talk about their insiders. They now have no salary space to supplement the fifth position. strong.
…
Although the outside world is still hotly discussing the Heat's formation of the Big Three, and this news continues to dominate the front page headlines, Lian Dao did not pay much attention.
He still practiced his offensive footwork under the basket unshakably. During this period, Yao Ming also came to the training team once to guide Lian Dao's hook and footwork under the basket.
Lian Dao's self-disciplined training method also made some players of the national team grin secretly, it was too abnormal.
Obviously they have already reached super giant strength, but they can still calm down and polish their offensive skills over and over again.
This made many people feel embarrassed to be lazy and play tricks. Everyone completed the training seriously, and some players even practiced extra. Lian Dao didn't expect that he would actually lead to a wave of extra training.
Before the World Championships in Turkey, the Chinese men's basketball team went overseas for training. In the 6 warm-up matches with strong European and American teams, the Chinese team has lost and won, but overall it is still very good.
At least it wasn't like the previous life, losing all 6 battles!
Time soon came to August 25th, when the Basketball Association announced the final squad for the World Championships: Lian Dao, Yi Jianlian, Wang Shipeng, Su Wei, Zhou Peng, Liu Wei, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Jin Lipeng, Yu Shu Long, Guo Ailun, Zhang Zhaoxu.
This time, Ding Jinhui, who was on the edge of the list due to injury, was still not selected for the national team squad, and Zhu Fangyu did not appear in the final squad, mainly because of overseas training, and his performance was not particularly outstanding.
The next thing they have to do is fly to Turkey.
The game was held on August 28, and on August 27, the Men's Basketball World Championships in Turkey will begin.
Therefore, they set off on the 25th, and after arriving at the place, they can rest for a day.
The Men's Basketball World Championships was originally a major international event in the world sports championships, second only to the Olympics and the World Cup, but this time the World Championships gradually became tasteless.
Not to mention Kobe Bryant, James and other NBA superstars collectively "withdraw" from the World Championships, Yao Ming, Parker, Ginobili, Nowitzki and other core players of national teams will also not participate in the battle due to various reasons.
The World Championships, which has always had a gathering of stars, suddenly lost its focus.
The only thing that caused waves was the news that Lian Dao joined the national team for the World Championships.
Lian Dao can be regarded as the biggest star in this World Championships.
In fact, this is also quite normal. Today, when the interests of clubs are maximized, in order to preserve their stars to play in the new season at their best, NBA teams that have recruited the best basketball stars in the world have suggested to international players that they hope not to participate. World Championships, so as not to get injured and affect the overall pace of the club.
Even the management of the Knicks suggested that Lian Dao give up participating in the World Championships. This season, Lian Dao played 80 games in the regular season, and the average playing time in the playoffs was 45 minutes per game. Playing in the World Championships does have a great impact on the recovery of the body.
This is also very likely to lead to injuries in the new season.
But Lian Dao still chose to return to the national team. Although Lian Dao is not a basketball player who has come out of the system, he always remembers that he is a Chinese.
The World Championships without superstars is actually a good opportunity for the Chinese team.
China was assigned to Group C in the group stage. The first game was against Greece. Although Greece was still considered a strong team in the World Championships, it only relied on the former Rockets defender Vasaris Spanoulis and the team that once played in 2006. In the World Championships, the famous defender Dimatris Diamantitidis, known as the little shark of Greece, and Sisophokris Skossinitis, who have beaten the United States, are not enough to defeat the current China Team.
This year's Greek men's basketball team does not have any active NBA players in the lineup.
In the Utah Jazz center Kostas Kofos chose to stay in the United States and not participate in the national team's World Championships.
The former core of the team, Troo Papa Lucas, did not participate in the current national men's basketball team for the second consecutive year after last year's European Championship.
Although this game was not easy and comfortable, there were no too difficult times throughout the game.
The previous full-court press against the Chinese point guard With the addition of Lian Dao, it fell apart instantly, especially after Lian Dao charged up, basically no one could stop him.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated the Greek team 98:86 and won the World Championships.
Then the Chinese team defeated Côte d'Ivoire, Puerto Rico, and Russia successively.
In the match against the host Turkey, Lian Dao also faced their leading star, Hido Turkoglu, an organization forward. When the Magic team was able to enter the finals, his organization in the perimeter played a huge role. effect.
Now playing for the NBA Raptors.
In addition to Hedo Turkoglu, they also have Eisen Inlyasova, who played for the Bucks. In the playoffs, Lian Dao also broke him into a sieve.
The current record of both sides is 4:0, so the last game is also a competition for the first position in the group stage.
Both sides did not want to give up the first place in the group stage. In history, after Deng Huade confirmed that the national team had qualified, he replaced all the substitutes in this game. At the same time, the Chinese team also lost to Turkey 40-87 in this game in history. Biggest defeat at the World Championships. 40 points is also the lowest score of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships.
However, this time both sides are starters.
The Chinese team has Lian Dao and Yi Jianlian on the inside, Wang Zhizhi on the inside, and Sun Yue on the back. Even if they face the host Turkey, they are not afraid.
The starting center of the Turkish men's basketball team suffered injuries just like the Chinese team. Mehmet Okur, the starting center of the Jazz, did not join the national team because of a torn Achilles tendon. Yao Ming of the Chinese national team also suffered from injuries. Disease did not join the national team.
