Chapter 137 After Winning the Championship
Chapter 137 After Winning the Championship
The ball fell into the frame, like an atomic bomb, and exploded a mushroom cloud!
Won!
Won! !
Won! ! !
Relying on Li Wan's midline three-pointer...
Huaxia men's basketball team won!
Everyone knows that there is an element of luck in that ball.
But at this time, who cares how much luck is involved in this ball?
Excited shouts, like roaring waves, filled the entire Wukesong Stadium in an instant.
At this moment, only wanton and indulgent howling can express the excitement of the fans at the scene, or fans across the country.
Perhaps, this is not enough...
Someone's body trembled uncontrollably;
Someone gritted their teeth and clenched their fists;
Someone rushed to the street and shouted loudly: "Geneva, play money, Huaxia men's basketball team, awesome!"
There are also people who blow up the TV with one punch...
gold medal!
Olympic gold!
Olympic men's basketball gold medal!
Whether it was the start of the Olympic Games or the moment when things had already happened, no one thought or believed that the Huaxia men's basketball team could win the championship!
no one thought of...
Can't even think about it...
This is...
Dream Eight!
Standing toweringly, with the momentum of a fierce dragon crossing the river, there is no dream of any resistance!
Tonight's victory is no less than...
A miracle!
"Pinch me, pinch me!"
"No, no, don't pinch me, don't pinch me!"
Coach Guo is crazy...
I can't help being excited.
He couldn't believe it, he thought it was a dream, but he didn't want to wake up from this dream.
This dream is so beautiful!
This is what happened the moment the ball went into the frame...
On the field.
"and also……"
"One more thing to trouble you..."
"I'm out of strength!"
As Li Wan spoke, he involuntarily fell towards Kobe.
The big picture is set!
The slackness of the highly concentrated mental strength, and the dimness of the "Little Prince against Melancholy" badge, the double exhaustion brought about by both body and spirit made Li Wan's whole body weak.
Can't hold it...
Li Wan fell down as soon as he said it, but Kobe subconsciously caught him, exerted strength with his arms, and stabilized him, but he complained in disgust: "Rookie, your physical fitness is still as bad as ever..."
Then use all your strength to help stabilize.
"So, are you particularly unconvinced?"
Kobe: ...
He had the urge to throw Li Wan away.
The body has softened like this, but the mouth is still as sharp as a knife.
Reporters flocked to the sidelines to record the scene.
Li Wan and Kobe, who were still opponents just now, had such a friendly scene at the end of the game.
What is the Olympic spirit?
Is there a better interpretation than this?
The situation of the rest of the Huaxia men's basketball team was not very good. Wang Shipeng staggered and fell to the ground at the end of the game, frowning and shouting at the Huaxia men's basketball bench: "Hurry up, hurry up, cramp! Already!"
Dayao and General's first reaction was to put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath in pain, like a drowning person who suddenly had a chance to breathe fresh air.
Including Sun Yue, who only played half of the game and took a break in the middle, also sat down directly on the spot.
Exhausted!
Out of ammo!
This game drained everything from the Huaxia men's basketball team...
So much so that they didn't even have the strength to run towards Li Wan to celebrate.
With a tragic appearance, but with an excited smile!
Laughing and laughing, someone crying...
Yao Ming, who was still gasping for breath, stood up straight, looked up at the sky above the arena, and covered his face with his hands.
Weeping with joy...
Harris spent 3 months teaching us a lesson, no matter what you do, never give up!
If the Chinese team fails to reach the top eight, I will not shave for half a year!
I can accept defeat, but I must fight to the death!
Yao Ming, who covered his face and wept, reminded the fans at the scene of the past.
When he first became the irreplaceable pillar of the Huaxia men's basketball team, it was definitely the most difficult period for the Huaxia men's basketball team. He didn't even make it to the national team, and the only one who could help Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, didn't make it to the China men's basketball team for unexplainable reasons.
Only Li Nan was with Yao Ming in 04...
It happened that in the absence of helpers, the Huaxia men's basketball team won the group match against Serbia and Montenegro, and squeezed into the quarterfinals of the Athens Olympics!
It was also the Olympic Games that year, which let all domestic fans know to what extent the peak Yao can raise the upper limit of the Huaxia men's basketball team!
Yao Ming has played a role in the Huaxia men's basketball team in recent years. He is worthy of the title of the team's pillar, and he has also fulfilled the duties that a leader should fulfill.
He has survived the most difficult four years, and now, he can be regarded as a blooming moon.
Olympic gold!
There is no better reward than this!
Oh no……
There is one more reward.
That is, while he persisted, a group of very dazzling newcomers emerged in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.
Chen Jianghua, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian...
Of course, especially...
Li Wan!
At this moment, he is surrounded by the players of Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.
Although the starters were exhausted, the group of people on the bench were still alive and kicking. Kobe returned Li Wan to the Huaxia men's basketball team who rushed over. Seeing this group of people excitedly shaking Li Wan's shoulders, I really wanted to remind them :
take it easy...
But when he remembered why these people were happy, he immediately became unhappy.
The rest of the dream team also looked frustrated and unwilling.
In the same situation, Li Wan made 10 more shots, no, 20 more shots, and he might not be able to replicate his half-time ultra-long three-point goal.
It's really unacceptable to lose the game like this.
But what if you don't accept it?
The outcome was already divided, and the Huaxia men's basketball team refused to enter overtime with an incredible goal, and won the final championship of the Olympic men's basketball team.
"The men's basketball gold medalists in the 08 Olympic Games belong to the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. Let us congratulate them!" Sun Zhengping's tone was full of pride and pride, and pride, still pride!
I am proud!
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
At this time, the scene also sounded a unified cry.
The Dream Team players who were about to leave the field turned their heads one after another, looked at Li Wan, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts:
abnormal!
For the rest of the Huaxia men's basketball team, they admire and respect them.
After all, there are only so many people in this team, with a rotation of about 9 people, and they fought hard for the whole game.
This is not an easy task.
But for Li Wan, they were more helpless...
If you say that your strength is not as good as it is, you really can't beat it, so forget it!
The key is……
He is unreasonable!
In the past few decades of the Olympic Games, has he won so much?
But such a thing, he did...
Not once, not twice, not three times...
All in all...
abnormal!
The name of Li Wan resounds throughout Wukesong Stadium!
At the same moment, the national network was detonated.
29分6篮板5助攻4抢断1盖帽……
This is the statistic that Li Wan left in the finals.
But what is more discussed on the Internet is the 11 points he scored after the last timeout of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, especially the last three-pointer.
If that's not a miracle...
What else is a miracle?
"Brother Wan, that's awesome, this three-pointer!"
"Damn it, I can get in here!"
"At that time, I thought it was gone. When the ball scored, I was so excited that I flipped the dining table..."
……
There was constant cheering at the scene, and the podium was set up during this period. Amidst the introduction, the bronze, silver and gold medal teams appeared one by one.
Before the final, the two losers of the semi-final, Spain and Lithuania, had a bronze medal battle, and the winning Spain became the final bronze medalist.
They passed by the Huaxia men's basketball team when they played, and each of them had a bit of surprise and surprise on their faces.They really didn't expect that the winner tonight would be the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team...
Then there is the American Dream Team. Except for Kobe, everyone else has packed up and faced the camera happily.
Mainly, most of the members of this team were members of the 04 Olympic Games and the 06 World Championships. This is not the first time they have lost in an international league.
so feel good...
Another point is that playing in the national team is free. Their first feeling is that I have tried my best, and there is nothing I can do if I lose. We can’t kowtow to you, right?
Besides, don't blame us!
If you want to blame, blame the cheater on the opposite side!
This kind of super long three-pointer can score in the half court, what else can't he do?
Li Wan...
It really succeeded in refreshing their understanding of madness and miracles.
This kid can really make a big fuss!
The only difference is that it was in the NBA before, but this time it is in front of the whole world.
They believe that after tonight, a deep name will be left in the minds of fans all over the world: Li Wan!
When it comes to China's basketball, or in other words, sports, it's not just Yao Ming.
Li Wan must be one of them!
The Huaxia men's basketball team that played last received the loudest cheers from the audience. The loudness of the voice and the enthusiasm in the voice successfully influenced the Dream Team and the Spanish players.
Like Lithuanians, they miss the taste of their mother at home.
Li Wan walked in the team, looking at the two groups of people who had already stood in front of their respective podiums.
On one side is Spain, the champion of the 06 World Championships, the "golden generation at the time", and the other is the "basketball hegemony", a group of people with the highest level of basketball in the world, the American Dream Team...
The Huaxia men's basketball team was able to step on these two groups of people and climb to the highest podium. Until now, Li Wan still feels somewhat unreal.
He is not the only one who feels this way.
Although I have repeatedly confirmed that this is not a dream, this is what happened in reality, but Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian...
There was a hint of emotion on everyone's face:
We also...
Too arrogant!
Is this really what we did?
Everyone in the country who was watching this scene felt the same way.
This is really...
Really! ?
As they took their seats, hostesses entered the venue and presented medals.
First Spain, then the Dream Team, and finally the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team...
When the Huaxia men's basketball team stepped up to the highest platform that symbolizes the championship, the following words seemed to ring in everyone's ears:
Over that mountain, there is the top of the world!
Huaxia men's basketball team, stand on the highest podium and receive your glory!
And when the national anthem plays...
Watching these national brands humming the national anthem, the gold medals shone under the lights...
They feel more:
This moment is the pinnacle!
we are the champion!
no regrets...
Li Wan, who was humming the national anthem, let go of his obsession with the 08 Olympics.
After the national anthem was sung, at Yao Ming's suggestion, everyone hung the gold medal around Li Wan's neck.
Tonight's victory, Li Wan is undoubtedly a great contributor.
Whether it's his overall performance or his last shot, he deserves such a courtesy.
There was also a huge cheer at the scene at this time.
Li Wan, 20, has a bright smile.
What a big smile he has.
In the eyes of the fans, how brilliant the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team will be in the next 10 years!
……
"we are the champion!Huaxia men's basketball team won the first gold in history! "
"If the miracle is a person, then it must be Li Wan! "
"Fight to the last moment, the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history makes history! "
……
exploded!
This is a complete explosion!
The headlines of all the media on the second day were all reporting the same thing: With Li Wan's halftime three-pointer, the Huaxia men's basketball team defeated the United States and won the first gold medal in the history of the men's basketball team.
All the media here are not only domestic media, but foreign media also occupy a large section of this news.
This is definitely big news!
It can even be said that it was the biggest upset of the 08 Olympic Games!
The elite American dream team will lose?
Who would have believed this before the Olympics?
Not to mention, before the Olympics, even now, some people may not believe it!
between!
Jie too outrageous!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Some media outlets were so excited that they started to click their tongues...
That's right, the media that don't want to admit this fact is the Spanish media that frantically jumped before the game. Many fans also ran to their official media and some social platforms to leave messages as soon as the results of the game came out:
"Honestly, you should be thankful that you didn't bet with Li Wan..."
"You may not know that three people who questioned Li Wan have already kissed the donkey's ass."
"Didn't you say that the finals are over? Is Spain's dream team so exciting?"
……
The Spanish media chose to completely shut down the mic. At that time, the ball was flying in the air. They probably didn't want Li Wan to score this goal even more than the members of the Dream Team.
It was also at that moment that they also felt that they were a little too pushy before the finals.
The result is……
Became a clown.
This incident also detonated the Internet in the United States.
But the first reaction of many fans on the Internet is not to blame the Dream Team for being too useless, but:
"The Trash Talker is amazing! OMG, can anyone tell me, who else can stop him?"
"He's definitely a superhero!"
"It's really handsome, that three-pointer, Li Wan is really a miracle boy..."
Their first reaction was to express their admiration for Li Wan.
The American fans who have seen too many miracles of him really feel that it is not unacceptable if the American men's basketball team is lore by this man!
because……
He can really do such a thing!
If Li Wan were to vote at this time, then the approval rating would definitely be dead, and I am afraid that he would become the first non-***** in history.
"He is just a dribble, do you understand the dribble?"
"Do you really think it's all due to him alone? Without Yao Ming, wouldn't they have lost long ago?"
"Howard is an idiot. Isn't this kind of passing the ball to Li Wan?"
"At that time, the score was the same on both sides. Is there a psychological burden on this kind of lore?"
……
Da-da-da-da.
The keyboard gradually glows blue.
It's "Small God of War" Du Lao 1.5!
He just found a new house in Oklahoma yesterday and moved. After a busy day, he felt too tired, so he went to bed early.
He knew about the final match between the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team and the Dream Team.
But he thinks, is it still worth watching the Dream Team game?
Waking up is another win...
Ok?
Why do so many people hate me?
I was too busy yesterday to post a post, did the Thunder fans miss me that much in just one day?
Oh ~
I have nowhere to put my damn charm!
Kevin Durant often frets about being too visible.
As a result, I opened the private message and saw that it was all:
"Li Wan beat the Dream Team yesterday!"
"Kevin, you didn't deserve to lose. Even the Dream Team lost, so it's normal for you to lose!"
"Kevin, Li lore is dead, but you are still giving praise to the model!"
A dumbfounded Kevin Durant sniffed.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I must be awake!
Lie down, close your eyes for three seconds, and get up again.
Kevin Durant picked up the phone and looked at it again, the content was still the same, nothing changed.
Then these people must be lying to me!
Kevin Durant opens Google...
Then completely give up.
He turned his head and glanced out the window.
no……
Why, the weather in Oklahoma is also cloudy!
Du Xiaoshuai, who was in a bad mood, noticed keenly that someone was stepping on him with Li Wan again, could he bear it?
No, I have been fighting until now.
While he was fighting, Li Wan also received calls from Conley, Oden, and others. They were all shocked. When Li Wan scored the winning goal, they watched the live broadcast and were stunned. It was such a shock that Ke almost staged a wave of "reverse smoking".
Before hanging up, Mike Conley did not forget to ask: "Lee, when will you arrive in Ohio?"
The day for Ohio to retire the jerseys of Li Wan and others has been set, September 9th.
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure I can make it in time!"
It is only August 8th now, even if it will be delayed in China for a while, half a month is enough.
On the second day after winning the gold medal, the Huaxia men's basketball team had a breakup meal.
Yao Ming had a rare drink, and even came to toast Li Wan: "Xiao Li, you are our absolute hero!"
If not, what about Chairman Yao!
Talking is really that flavorful...
Li Wan smiled and clinked glasses with him.
Of course, he drank fruit juice.
Chen Jianghua was almost drunk, and came to chat with Li Wan, asking him to make up his mind: "The head coach of the Dream Team, Old K, wants me to stay at Duke for two years..."
Sure enough, this scene still happened.
Li Wan was not in a hurry to give advice, but instead asked Chen Jianghua what he thought.
There was a flash of struggle on Chen Jianghua's face, but he still expressed his inner thoughts: "If possible, I really want to hit the NBA..."
For any teenager who loves basketball, especially if he is talented, there must be an NBA dream in his heart.
It’s just that some people gradually become less persistent with age and the influence of the environment. For example, Zhu Fangyu, who became a popular star in the CBA, ignored the 10-day contract offered by the Celtics. .
As far as he is concerned, playing in the CBA and international competitions is actually a pretty good life now.
There is no need to go to the NBA and get used to this and that. If you don't play well and come back in a slump, and you are not in the same state as before, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Chen Jianghua probably thought the same way.
He has now also signed a professional contract with the Guangdong team, and next season, he will be able to play and make money.
If he really went to Duke, if he didn't play well and missed the chance of the league here, then he would be wasting another year.
"Brother Li, you played in the NCAA, so you must be more familiar with me than I am. Can you tell me about it?" Chen Jianghua saw that Li Wan hadn't spoken for a long time, so he spoke again.
Li Wanhuang shook the juice in his hand, put the cup on the table, and after thinking about it, he said: "If you want to go to the NBA, the NCAA must be the best springboard. Every year, 80.00% of the rookies in the draft come from the NCAA... ..."
His suggestion is to go, even if it is good to see the world!
But he can't say it directly.
Suggest this thing, if it really works, then you are a benefactor, otherwise, life will be unsatisfactory in the future... Then you will be an enemy!
Li Wan believed that Chen Jianghua's question at this moment must be sincere, and he had no other thoughts, but people's hearts are fickle, and it's normal.
That's the only way he can express his opinion.
Instead of directly letting Chen Jianghua carry a bag to travel to Duke.
Chen Jianghua nodded, took a sip of the drink in his hand, and then changed the subject. He should think about it again, and Li Wan didn't say any more.
Yao Ming sat back again, feeling more drunk than before.He asked Li Wan when he would return to Orlando, and Li Wan said, "I will return when the matter here is finished."
He nodded and smiled: "You really have to be busy for a while!"
In 03 and 04, Yao Ming had just made his mark in the NBA and the international arena. At that time, various endorsements and advertisements were soft. Li Wan, the hero of the finals, I believe these days will be busy!
However, this is what Li Wan deserves.
Really powerful enough.
It is indeed powerful enough!
They really have to rely on Li Wan's crucial three-pointer to be able to completely unload their burdens...
At least as far as they are concerned, they have lived up to the expectations of the people.
"It's really up to you in the future!"
Yao Ming suddenly sighed for no reason.
Li Wan heard the voice behind the words: "Brother Yao, you are only 28...do you want to retire after success?"
Yao Ming laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in the smile.
I know my own situation...
He can still play for a few more years, he also knows in his heart.
While chatting, they talked about the new season, and Li Wan accidentally learned that Yao Ming actually had a plan to lose weight.
This surprised him a little.
But thinking about Dayao's worried smile just now, he was not so surprised.
As far as Adelman’s mind is concerned, Dayao was seriously injured for a year and came back in the new season. He still insisted in front of the media: "We will not slow down for Yao. He needs to adapt, but I believe that he can..."
listen to this bullshit...
It is estimated that Dayao also knew who Adelman was, so he made up his mind to lose weight.
"Brother Yao, is your contract about to expire?" Li Wan asked tentatively.
He wondered if Yao Ming had any thoughts of leaving Houston.
But unfortunately, he didn't realize this meaning...
That's right, as long as the "Team Yao" has taken root in Houston, will they be willing to move?
Even if Yao Ming had such an idea, they would definitely stop it.
Do you really think being an "emperor" is cool?
Yao Ming will definitely take his team into consideration.
Li Wan felt Yao Ming's meaning, so he didn't continue to ask, but picked up his drink cup:
"Respect, Brother Yao!"
On August 8th, Li Wan participated in an official press conference and answered some questions from the reporters. When asked whether the Huaxia men's basketball team could defend the Olympic champion in 26, he smiled and said nothing .
I really dare to think about it!
At this moment, he suddenly realized that once the champion is won...
It seems to whet the appetite of some people!
Under such circumstances, the pressure on the next generation of national brands will probably be even greater!
This……
It shouldn't be blamed on him, right?
During the period, a newspaper in the reporter's hand caught Li Wan's attention.
There is a photo on it, which is the photo of him falling on Kobe after the finals when he was exhausted.
"Can I have this newspaper?"
He asked the reporter for the newspaper and headed towards the dormitory of the American men's basketball team.But when they got there, they realized that the dream team had already returned home.
Suddenly he felt dull.
"Then I'll send it to him..."
Li Wan found a pen and wrote a paragraph in the newspaper; thank you, Pippen!
Then it was sent out the next morning.
Address: Los Angeles Toyota Center;
Recipient: Kobe;
Sender: Li Wan;
He was looking forward to Kobe's expression when he saw the words next to the photo, but unfortunately, he definitely won't be able to see it.
On August 8, Li Wan didn't stay longer in Sijiu City, and immediately returned home.If he doesn't go back, the family will be harassed and collapsed by the media reporters.
Ever since he made that goal, the phone at home has kept up with the reporters and TV stations who came to interview him.
His solution is also very simple: "Hey, is this the police station..."
The police came forward, and it was quiet for a moment.
A few days later, Li Wan received the reward from above, a house.
This is for the gold medal.
Taylor was completely busy.
Brands, large and small, all want to invite Li Wan to speak for them.
Tai Lun never thought that one day he would dislike the small contract of 100 million dollars.
But the quotations of other brands are indeed too exaggerated...
Li Wan chose several trustworthy brands to sign contracts with a total value of about 6 million dollars.
The rest of the brands were rejected.
As for the invitation announcements for various programs, except for a few public welfare advertising programs, he rejected them all.
But even so, he was busy for almost a week before finishing all these matters.
Now he is too hot!
Just like Liu Xiang, another "national hero"...
In fact, he couldn't stand this kind of title, especially after witnessing Liu Xiang's fall from the "Altar" not long ago, he was full of resistance to similar titles.
He played the Olympics because of the regret in his heart, and the pure heart.
If it becomes someone's belief or spiritual pillar, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him... right?
Fortunately, it is only 08, and the Internet is not so developed yet.
Li Wan knows very well what is meant by "the higher the praise, the harder the fall"!
Especially when he knows the future, he doesn't want to be synonymous with the men's basketball team...
That burden is too heavy.
and……
If he became a watcher like Yao Ming, Li Wan felt that there would still be some meaning.
But he knew very well that the next thing was sunset.
He didn't want to be like Yi Jianlian, who worked hard for more than ten years, and just let everyone see his difficulty in the 19 World Championships.
But that also carried the infamy of more than ten years!
Especially in a future where the web is more demonized...
No need, really no need.
This is not a burden he can shoulder alone.
It takes everyone working together.
Just relying on his hard work in five or six games a year to maintain an unembarrassing result, where will the next Li Wan be in ten years?
But when it comes to challenging the system, let alone one gold medal, even if he wins two, three, or four gold medals, he will still be a pawn when he retires.
A senior basketball official?
Ah!
How is that different from a legal representative?
While he was busy in the country, the NBA free trade market, which had no major deals this year, finally experienced a major shock.
After the Pistons re-signed Chauncey Billups, they used him, plus power forward Antonio McDyess and center Cheek Samb, and traded from the Nuggets for popular guard Allen Iver Mori.
Li Wan already knew about this deal, but it was just ahead of time.
The deal wasn't supposed to happen until December.
It is now the end of August.
Obviously, in the second round of this year's Eastern Conference finals, Li Wan broke the spirit of the team, and also broke the last bit of patience of Joe Dumars.
He doesn't even want to wait for the new season.
Trade the "brain" of the "Piston Four Tigers".
Official announcement: push to rebuild.
Maybe Joe Dumars didn't expect what this push meant...
Rasheed Wallace immediately stood up to fight for his good brother, thinking that the management had betrayed them.
Early, right?
As soon as Joe Dumars heard this, he immediately called the head coaches of other teams in the league:
All-star power forward Rasheed Wallace plus a "trade package", come if you are interested.
He was busy tearing down his house, and the Nuggets called Antonio McDyess, planning to buy out his contract for 600 million.McDyess agreed without saying a word.
He didn't actually want to go to the Nuggets either.
But in this way...
Which team should I go to?
You can't just retire right?
Although McDyess is 34 years old and will be 35 next year, he thinks he can play for another two years.
Can't play as a starter, can't the bench play?
His manager tentatively asked, "Or... go to the Magic?"
McDyeston's eyes lit up.
In fact, his original idea was to go back to Detroit, but his manager's words changed his mind immediately.
Compared with the reconstructed Detroit, Orlando is obviously better. How popular is Li Wan!
Maybe we can win a championship together...
At that time, he excitedly replied with a slang saying: "Middle!"
"Okay, White Chocolate, welcome to Orlando, let's cheer for the new season!"
In the Amway Arena general manager's office at this time, Otis was finalizing a new contract.
He hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Since the signing of Kwame Brown, there has been no new progress in the reinforcement plan. The reason is very simple, two words: no money!
Although there is still more than 5 million salary space, but he always wants to save some money, what if there is any high-quality puzzle missing?
As a result, it really came!
Jason Williams' agent took the initiative to call him and wanted to join Orlando.Although there is Li Wan in the number one position, he does lack an experienced veteran behind him.
This reinforcement, like Kwame Brown, is a reinforcement with substantial improvement...
After an agreement, within two days, they happily signed a two-year 3 million contract, with a starting salary of 125 million for the first year.Exactly 4/1 of the remaining cap space.
After signing this contract, there is still more than 3 million salary space left.
The two sides shook hands again, and Otis smiled and sent "White Chocolate" and his agent away.
When he came back humming, the phone at the corner of the desk rang again.
Ok?
No way?
No, no, how can there be so many veterans who take the initiative to vote!
Orlando is not a big city.
Even though he thought so, there was still uncontrollable anticipation on his face.
"Hey, Otis, who..."
"Hello, General Manager Otis, I'm Antonio McDyess' agent..."
!!!
Otis let out a silent "wow" after hearing him finish.
Of course he knew the news that the Nuggets had bought out McDyess. Even though the transaction took place in less than half a day, a competent general manager must have such a news channel.
It's just that he didn't dare to think about this former all-star power forward. Even though he is 34 years old and his peak is not there, in the eyes of their general managers, he is worth at least 3 million, or even higher...
This is not a price that Otis can pursue, and he is busy with the signing of "White Chocolate", so he has never had a chance to make a phone call to inquire about the situation.
I didn't expect...
He didn't look for anyone else, someone else took the initiative to look for him!
It seems that Li Wan's performance in the finals really surprised these old guys!
Yes!
Otis knew very well what was the reason why Jason Williams and McDyess suddenly took the initiative.
Apart from Li Wan, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
After all, in terms of strength on paper, the Celtics and the Lakers must be in the first order. The overall strengthening of the Cavaliers has also made many media rank Cleveland ahead of the Magic.
This is also normal...
Rao Li Wan's amazing performance in the playoffs, the Magic finally fell to the Eastern Conference finals, and LeBron James led the team to the finals with a single core.
Last year also played against the Celtics to the seventh game of the series
Now that the lineup has been upgraded in an all-round way, LeBron is one year older. At the age of 23, he will definitely become more dominant.
Compared with the improvement of the Cavaliers, the bonus of the Magic on the original basis is not so large.
After these three teams, is the Magic.
You said, if it wasn't for Li Wan, why did these two veterans choose the small city of Orlando?
Therefore, as soon as the contract was finalized, Otis called Li Wan again.
Li Wan received a call from Otis, and when he heard that he was telling him about the signing that had just been completed, he was somewhat dumbfounded.He has no intention of meddling in the transaction of the Magic team management.
Can……
Why did Otis gradually start to report on his own initiative?
He heard Otis say that McDyess had just left after signing the contract, and he couldn't wait to call himself.
However, Li Wan was surprised that the Magic could sign these two.
If he remembers correctly, Jason Williams originally announced his retirement this summer.
Of course, he returned just a year later.
Coincidentally, it was the Magic team that was chosen for their comeback...
Now it belongs to skipping retirement and joining directly.
As for Antonio McDyess.
The fact that he was bought out also happened for real, but after he was originally sold out, he was signed back to the Pistons at a price of 1 a year.
Now, the Pistons are not going, and they are still 1 a year, and they came to Orlando.
As such...
Michael Pietrus, Raja Bell, Kwame Brown, Jason Williams, Antonio McDyess...
Not to mention armed to the teeth, that is also a targeted reinforcement!
It is definitely not a problem to surpass the Magic in the same period.
Even the pickiest person can hardly give a bad review of Otis's work this summer.
What's more, Li Wan is not picky.
He is satisfied.
Otis, who was praised, hung up the phone happily without feeling anything wrong.From his point of view, these people came for Li Wan, and it was right to inform Li Wan immediately.
On September 9, Li Wan returned to the United States.
He went to Los Angeles first, and after writing a few poems with Taylor, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he immediately met with Grover. After returning to China in early August, until now, he has watched McGrady’s videos for almost a month, and he still doesn’t understand some of the breakthrough methods.
Proficiency has also been stuck at around 55.
Grover asked him to test it with the ball, and finally got the result: "Man, your explosive power is not as good as the peak McGrady, so you still can't get rid of it as exaggeratedly as him..."
Li Wan felt this. Kidd couldn't defend against him in the front, but he got used to it later, and gradually caught up with his breakthrough rhythm.
He hasn't tapped out the potential of the main explosive force...
"You can have more changes in dribbling moves..."
Grover gave a suggestion, use skills to make up for the lack of physical talent.
"Although there is still a gap between your explosive power and McGrady's, the gap is not that big. I guess you will see the effect soon!"
Variations in dribbling moves...
Who should I look for?
The key new season is about to start...
"Didn't the Magic sign White Chocolate?" Grover asked again, "His dribbling skills are among the best in the NBA. You can learn more from him... "
When he said this, Li Wan's eyes lit up!
Yup!
White chocolate!
The premise of coquettish passing is definitely proficiency in dribbling, and his breakthrough at his peak is indeed gorgeous, which also shows Jason Williams' extraordinary dribbling skills.
The only problem...
He learned dribbling skills from Jason Williams...
The rest of the Magic should be panicking, right?
