The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 442 [Reject the dream team, fight Durant again]

The playoffs are still going on. On May 5, the American Basketball Association officially announced the list of national training teams for this summer through its official website.

To prepare for the London Olympics, this American training team will participate in the training camp held in Las Vegas from July 7th to 6th as the training partner of the US men's basketball team.Players include Ryan Anderson of the Magic, Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs, DeJuan Blair, DeMarcus Cousins ​​of the Kings, DeMar DeRozan of the Raptors, Pistons Derrick Favors of the Pacers, Paul George of the Pacers, Taj Gibson of the Bulls, Gordon Hayward of the Nets, John Wall, Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers, Warriors of Klay Thompson, and Isiah Thomas of the Clippers.

Thomas was lucky enough to be selected to help the Dream 10 team practice defense. There are also fast little men like him in the international arena.

早在1月份，美国篮协就公布了2012年参加伦敦奥运会的20人候选大名单，最终将由12人组成的梦10队到伦敦参赛。

The finalists for the 20-man roster are: LaMarcus Aldridge (Blazers), Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler (Knicks), Chauncey Billups, Rudy J. Gay, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook (Grizzlies), Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James (Heat), Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant. Bryant (Lakers), Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, James Harden (Thunder), Dwight Howard (Nets), Deron Williams (Mavericks), Andre . Iguodala (76ers), Kevin Love, Ye Feng (Clippers).

However, due to the intensive schedule due to the shortened season, many big-name players may miss this summer's Olympics for various reasons. Against this background, the USA Basketball Association is considering adding candidates.And there was also a person who directly rejected the invitation without illness or injury, and that was Ye Feng.

After Ye Feng publicly rejected the invitation, many fans expressed their disappointment.After the Clippers defeated the Mavericks and advanced, they held a brief press conference. Ye Feng answered the reporters' questions.

He said: "I have Chinese ancestry, and I would like to join the Chinese national team, but China does not allow dual citizenship, so I can only miss the Olympic Games. I made a decision in 2010. Although I am an American citizen, I don’t want to represent the American Dream Team in the Olympics or the World Championships. Here, I want to apologize to all the fans who support me and hope to see me play in international competitions. But everyone can rest assured that with the strength of the American team, even without me Should be able to easily win the London Olympics."

Ye Feng's rejection of the Dream Team made many Chinese fans feel excited.As the best player in the NBA, he refuses to represent the United States and wants to join the Chinese team. This is tantamount to giving up the Olympic gold medal!Although Ye Feng will definitely not be able to play for China in the end, but if he does not join the US team, the Chinese fans will regard him as one of their own.

Many diehard fans expressed that they saw in Ye Feng the national integrity of "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han". I have dreamed that my motherland has not been close to me for many years, but I can’t change my Chinese heart. Although I wear a foreign suit, my heart is still Chinese. My ancestors have already branded everything about me with the Chinese seal... "

In fact, the fans thought Ye Feng was too noble.Unless they are crazy, no one will give up their American citizenship in order to join the Chinese basketball team and go to the Olympics to be "battered".Ye Feng also felt it was not worthwhile to offend the Chinese fans by joining the US team for a gold medal with no gold content, so he did not plan to participate in international competitions, it was as simple as that.The level of basketball in the Olympics is not high. Even if he doesn't go, no one will think that he can't play well, and he can win the favor of Chinese fans with this. Why not do it?

And if he went to the Olympics, he would have to give up his precious vacation time. He wanted to stay at home and actively create humans with Ariel.For this goal, he turned off all activities and will stay in Los Angeles for vacation.

Ye Feng was willing to do this, and Ariel was also very happy, she never wanted Ye Feng to focus on his career.Fortunately, Ye Feng is really different from Donald Sterling. Apart from basketball, he doesn't study real estate, finance and other businesses.There was already enough money, and there was no need to earn any more, and Donald had nothing to do about it, but urged the two of them to have a child as soon as possible.

Donald has already made a will, and most of the family property will be inherited by their children in the future.Donald thinks very far, as long as the grandson or granddaughter inherits the property, before the age of 18, Ye Feng and his wife will be responsible for the agency supervision, and they will not have to pay inheritance tax. This tax may be exempted in the future. The US congressmen are already discussing, Donald They don't want to hand over their hard-earned money to the national treasury for nothing, Ye Feng and Ariel have no objection to this arrangement.

The Eastern Conference playoffs are still going on, and the Nets eliminated the Celtics 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Rajon Rondo broke out in the last game and scored a triple-double, leading the Celtics to a victory at home to avoid the embarrassment of being swept.But when it came to the Nets' home court, they still lost.The Big Three are old, and it will be very difficult to win the championship together in the future. After this season, they may also break up.

The Heat VS Pacers game was very intense. After the two sides scored 2 to 2, the Heat played at home and won the match point under James' quasi-triple-double data.Game [-] was played at the Blazers' home court.

In the battle of life and death on May 5, the late-moving Heat finally relied on the outstanding performance of James and Wade, defeated their opponents 25 to 108, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals with their heads held high, meeting the Nets for the second consecutive year.

韦德状态奇佳，砍下36分10篮板4助攻2抢断，詹姆斯拿到了32分8篮板7助攻3抢断。两人联手轰下了68分，势不可挡。

The Pacers took a desperate attitude, but they have an excellent overall, but they don't have a superstar, which is not as good as the Heat.

The battle between the Thunder and the Spurs was finally decided.In the fifth game, the Thunder narrowly won the away game with three points and won the match point.The Spurs, which had lost three games in a row, fought their last battle on May 5. Duncan rejuvenated and scored 26 points and 25 baskets, but he still couldn't save the team's fate.Durant scored 14 points, Rose 35 points, Harden 21 points, and the Thunder scored 17:106 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Facing the seasoned Spurs, the Thunder went from being at a loss in the first two games to being brave after knowing their shame in the last four games. The change is so fast that people are at a loss.

Brooks, Popovich's former disciple, has shown a strong ability to adapt and adjust.Except for the Lakers F4 at their peak, no one has made the Spurs have the embarrassment of losing four games in a row.The increasingly mature Durant, no matter whether he is leading or lagging behind, people can't read any expression on the face of this young killer. He is taking over the title of "Stone Buddha" from Duncan, and Harden and Rose are Durant The best helper around, and in the locker room, the Thunder also has the "old fish" Fisher who has seen countless storms.The Rockets still cut Fisher between the trade deadline, and the Thunder immediately called him into the team.

Looking at the younger Thunder three, Stephen Jackson said with emotion: "Looking at them is like us in 2003, Fisher is like Cole, Rose and Harden are exactly the same as Parker and Ginobili when they first debuted .” In front of the former self, the Spurs did not run time in the end.

Veterans don't die, they just fade away.

The Spurs once led by 17 points in the first half of this battle, but they were reversed by the Thunder in the second half, winning first and then losing. The whole game process seemed to be the same as the trend of this series.

The process of all these changes is actually related to the performance of a core character, and this person is Tony Parker.From the frizzy point guard who was yelled at by Popovich, to the MVP of the finals, to the attacking ace of the Spurs in the post-Duncan era, Parker has experienced three major evolutions and transformations in his career in the Spurs, but compared to Duncan, he is the largest player in history. As a forward, Parker has been able to carry the strength of the team to win the championship. As the team's first assaulter, Parker really can't help the Spurs go too far.He only has the ability of a first-class star, but he was assigned the task of a super star, which is too difficult for him.The core is not what you want to be, you can be what you want to be.

After the game, some people said that it is no big deal for the Spurs to be eliminated by the Thunder to end the season. Anyway, it is difficult to enter the finals.If the Spurs face the Clippers, a tragedy that fans don't want to see may happen, and that is to be swept out.When the Spurs led 2-0, people analyzed that the Clippers would easily advance to the finals against the Spurs, and might encounter some threats against the Thunder.

The Spurs players are mainly veterans, and it is difficult to keep up with the Clippers. The Thunder is a new army, and they still have a chance.Moreover, Durant's fighting spirit against Ye Feng is the strongest in the league. He always wants to defeat Ye Feng and the Clippers.This season, the two teams finally met in the playoffs.

Is the Clippers continuing to maintain their undefeated record against the Thunder?Or will Durant lead the Thunder to revenge?As long as they can win one game, it will be a breakthrough for the Thunder.

After watching the game at home, after the Thunder advanced, Ariel smiled and said, "Are you happy now? We think we can eliminate the Thunder and enter the finals without any effort."

Ye Feng shook his head, and said lightly: "You all think that we are sure to win, what do other people think? It's the first time that we always win against the Thunder in the regular season and in the playoffs. It's not a bad feeling to feel underestimated. Good thing, maybe there will be a possibility of capsizing in the gutter."

Ariel smiled and said: "With you and Thibodeau here, the Clippers will not underestimate the enemy. We will definitely win three consecutive championships this year. After this season, you may rise to the height of Jordan. Do you have any wishes? "

"It's still the same wish. I hope to rise to the height of my father after winning this championship." Ye Feng said with a chuckle: "I will continue to rest tomorrow, I don't need to train, and the game is over. Why don't we go back to the room and exercise?"

Ariel punched Ye Feng lightly, and carried him back to the bedroom together.
