NBA peak

Chapter 375 Departure, New York

The World Cup is in full swing.

With Argentina defeating Poland and Russia losing to Poland in Waterloo, it is very clear that the teams in Group I will advance to the top 8.

Group I is currently ranked first by the Chinese team, and second by the Argentine team!

What could be more exciting than this?
The song "Singing the Motherland" sounded in the Wukesong Gymnasium.

The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the singing of victory is loud and clear.

Accompanied by the beautiful and exciting melody, Ge Feng and his players bowed to the fans one by one to express their thanks.

Two days later, the top 8 teams in the World Cup were officially announced.

Group I: China, Argentina
Group J: Spain, Serbia

Group K: United States, Czech Republic

Group L: France, Australia

According to the schedule, the top 8 will be cross-matched by the four advanced groups. The top 8 series will have a single elimination game like the NCAA. If you lose a game, you will go home directly.

This is the biggest difference between the World Series and the NBA.There is no tiebreaker in the World Series, and teams are determined by a game, and no one is sure of victory.

China's next opponent is Spain.

During the 08 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team, known as the strongest in history, almost won Spain and entered the top four in the world.

Unfortunately, the Chinese team that year fell short at the last minute and lost to Spain.

The first opponent of this year's quarter-finals, China will meet Spain.

I don't know if it's fate or not.

The Chinese team faced Spain in the quarterfinals.

Spain has Ge Feng's teammate Gasol Jr. in the NBA. The two have teamed up to win two championship trophies in the NBA.

Because of this relationship, this year's Spanish and Chinese teams have a good relationship.

Before the opening game, Ge Feng and Gasol were chatting together, and they talked about the future of the Raptors.

Gasol Jr. did not understand the management's decision very much.

With Ge Feng as the core, the Raptors have shown the world that they have the strength to win the championship.

But I don't know what medicine the management took wrongly, and Durant must be recruited into the Raptors.

Does the Raptors' management think Durant is more stable than Ge Feng?
Ge Feng has already proved in the finals that he is not inferior to Durant.

After talking about Durant's decision, Ge Feng's whereabouts next year has become the most concerned thing for Gasol.

Ge Feng has not yet decided where he will go next season. Ge Feng plans to finish the World Cup and go back to meet the teams that are interested in him.

Gasol is tied to the contract, and he will definitely stay in the Raptors next season, partnering with Durant.

It's just that Ibaka, Lowry and Ge Feng are all gone. Is it possible for the Raptors to achieve three consecutive championships next season?

After chatting for a while, the match between the Chinese team and Spain is about to start.

This game attracted a lot of Chinese fans to watch the game.

The Chinese team played very tenaciously.

Facing the talented Spain, the Chinese team put their lives on the line.

Yi Jianlian almost had a judo match with Gasol Jr.

Guo Ailun and Jin Tong's noses were bleeding profusely.

Ge Feng robbed Fernandez three times, but Spain's overall strength far surpassed China's.Moreover, because of Gasol, Spain will never make the mistake of Argentina-underestimating Ge Feng's Chinese team.

Spain played steadily and maintained its lead from start to finish.

In the end, the game ended, and Spain beat the Chinese men's basketball team by 91 points 71 to 20.

So far, the Chinese men's basketball team has regrettably stopped in the top 8.But without Zhou Peng and Ding Yan Yuhang, they have already exceeded the task!

The moment the game ended, countless Chinese fans were in tears.

They were not sad because the Chinese men's basketball team was eliminated, but were moved by the fighting spirit shown by the Chinese men's basketball team in the last game.

Chinese fans haven't seen such a daring Chinese men's basketball team for many years.

Whether it is Ge Feng, Yi Jianlian, Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei, they are all good.

With their youth and enthusiasm, they have inspired countless young children. What is the soul of Chinese basketball.

They let more children have the confidence to carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team and bring the men's basketball team to the top of the world!

After the game, Ge Feng hastily attended two press conferences, and then returned to the United States with Xia Shilan.

Due to Durant's sudden decision to join the Raptors, Ge Feng's offseason has not been as casual as expected.

Ge Feng must immediately find a suitable next home.

The NBA preseason will start at the end of September. Many teams have gathered for training in advance, and the time left for Ge Feng is already good.

Ge Feng has no time to visit Xia Shilan's parents.

On the plane, Ge Feng kept apologizing to Xia Shilan, and he had no chance to visit Xia Shilan's parents again.

Xia Shilan smiled, expressing her understanding of Ge Feng's work.

For Ge Feng, this is his most important summer.

On September 9, BJ time, Ge Feng, who stayed in China for more than three months, returned to Canada again.

When Ge Feng returned to Toronto, he didn't report to the Raptors. He came back to pack his luggage and prepare to fly to the United States to meet with the management of the Lakers, Warriors and Mavericks.

As soon as Ge Feng handed it to Toronto, Austin was already waiting for him at the airport.

When Ge Feng saw Austin, he didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point.

They have been working together for more than a year, and they are old friends for a long time.

"Hey, Austin, have you finished the four-year maximum salary I asked you to ask the team?" Ge Feng asked.

Austin said confidently: "Of course, I have talked to these 9 teams, and now 6 teams have withdrawn."

"6?"

Ge Feng stopped in his tracks: "That means, now only 3 teams are willing to continue to sign with me?"

Austin shrugged and said, "Hmm, that's right. You know, you are Chinese, and you are too easily injured physically. They dare not put too much energy on you. If you are like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian or Jeremy Lin, it will cause a lot of damage to the team."

Ge Feng nodded.

The first to withdraw was the Cavaliers.After losing James and Irving, the Cavaliers basically cast a wide net to catch more fish, and if they can catch one, it is one.

Ge Feng was not very interested in the Cavaliers, but now that the Cavaliers have withdrawn, he just can save one trouble.

Both the Jazz and the Blazers quit for similar reasons.

They have already signed core backcourt players. If Ge Feng is given another four-year maximum salary, it will have a great impact on the team's future.

What these two teams need more is an All-Star inside player who can catch the board. Their ability to Ge Feng is only a temporary need, not a long-term need.

The teams that did not give a reason include the Celtics, Nuggets and 76ers.

In fact, Austin just didn't want to tell Ge Feng that the management of these three teams agreed that Ge Feng was only suitable to be used as a key player, not worthy of being trained as a core player.
