Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 221 221. Red Team (for Subscription)

The fans and guests in the audience applauded one after another. The thunderous applause was also mixed with a lot of screams, whistles, cheers and other sounds, all of which were given to George by the people of Oklahoma City.

Just because of what Westbrook said, you will always be an Oklahoma hero.

The Oklahomans are grateful. George joined the team when the team was facing desperation. Although it was only a short year, George still dedicated himself to the team. Even if he was injured, he gritted his teeth and made a quick comeback.

Although it can also be said that it is for professional ethics, it is also for the team's victory.

What Westbrook said can move everyone, and the reason is that everyone recognizes it from the bottom of their hearts.

The applause for George lasted for a long time, and the people in the audience became more and more excited. With Westbrook's hug, George's eyes were wet.

Patting Westbrook on the back, George pushed Westbrook away and took the microphone from him.

"Russell!" George took two steps back, facing Westbrook.

When George spoke, everyone stopped applauding again and looked straight at George.

"Thank you!" George turned around abruptly and shouted to the people in the audience, "Thank you Oklahoma!"

Everyone applauds George again.

George gritted his teeth, lowered his brows, thought for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had become firm.

"Everyone, and Russell and Lee. Let's work hard again, for the championship, work hard!"

Li Cha had been watching Westbrook's expression with a smile on the sidelines. At this moment, George's words made Li Cha's expression change instantly.

Did George agree to stay?

Both Li Cha and Westbrook's expressions became serious, and they couldn't believe it was true.

George turned his head and nodded heavily at the two of them.

Suddenly, a figure rushed up from the background, passed Li Cha and Westbrook, hugged George in a huge bear hug, and began to cry loudly.

The cry came out from the microphone and was heard by everyone.

Li Cha and Westbrook shook their heads helplessly, and raised their hands to the audience.

Everyone followed the gesture and cheered and applauded again.

George's stay is to leave the Thunder with hope of winning the championship, and it also leaves hope for the fans.

This time the cheers and applause were not only for George, but also for himself. It was completely from the heart and from the heart.

"Brother George... woo woo woo..." Allen's cry seemed so strange in this exciting scene.

The next day, Li Cha boarded the flight to Huaxia. According to the notice sent by Yao Ming, Li Cha was included in the red team and had to report to Imperial Sports University.

Since the end of 17, Yao Ming has reformed the training of the national team. It is no longer just a national team with more than 30 people training. Instead, the national team has been split into red and blue teams. Each team has a complete coaching staff and training team, and nearly 30 players participate.

The advantage of being divided into two teams is that you can select as many outstanding players from domestic and foreign leagues as possible, enter the national team for training, and then represent the country in warm-up matches or some international competitions, so that more players can quickly mature.

When it is necessary to participate in large-scale international events, such as the Olympic World Cup, it will be integrated and the 12 strongest players will be selected to participate in the competition.

The disadvantage is that there are relatively few 12-man running-in during the integration. When the core of the blue team and the red team are on the court at the same time, the team's offensive focus will be somewhat unclear.

However, one has to enter into such a level of competition first.

Li Cha is a member of the red team. Li Cha's name was not listed in the first notice issued by the Basketball Association, but after Yao Ming notified Li Cha, the second supplementary notice quickly spread throughout China.

The only active NBA player who joined the red team of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Li Cha!

This name looks so ordinary, but so dazzling.

It has aroused the expectations of countless fans for the national team.

The status of the Huaxia men's basketball team in Asia is now declining year by year. Although the traditional opponent Iran is aging, it is still the first-ranked opponent.

Although South Korea is arrogant, it is not enough to be strong in the outside world.

The new opponents are Japan and the Philippines. In addition to naturalized players, Japan also produced a mixed-race player Hachimura Rui. He is now playing well in the NCAA and will be in the NBA in a year. This is a very powerful boost for the Japanese men's basketball team that suffers from height.

As for the Huaxia men's basketball team, the most important thing at present is to prove themselves in the Asian Games, or to keep their honor as the number one in Asia.

It's not as difficult as it sounds.

Sitting on the plane, Li Cha shook his head silently.

If the fans knew about Li Cha's thoughts, it would probably explode, because it's almost crazy now.

"Li Cha joined the national team? This is decent. The country cultivated him, and it's time to play for the country!"

"Li Cha is naturalized, the country has not trained him."

"...Naturalized, naturalized, the country gave him support, and he should give back."

"NBA All-Star players join the national team, and now their strength has greatly increased!"

"It was necessary, and our votes were indispensable at the time."

"Not an All-Star player, but an AMVP, the MVP of an All-Star."

"What about NBA players? They can't integrate into the team system. Can a single player win the game alone? Look at the CBA who can kill the foreign players from all over the world to ensure victory? In the end, the team with better integration can win."

"It's always good to have players with better skills going into the national team."

"The supplement to the national team's outside line is very huge. Our inside line has Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi, and the outside line is always a bit interesting. Now it's good."

……

All kinds of discussions are everywhere, no matter how they are discussed, in the eyes and hearts of patriotic Chinese people, they have more expectations for the national team and love Li Cha more.

Li Cha's flight landed at the Imperial Capital International Airport, and when he got off the plane, he saw a text message saying that it was a staff member from the Basketball Association who had come to pick him up.

Just as he was replying that he had already landed, the call came in.

It's Gao Jie.

"Back?" Gao Jie's voice was full of joy, the kind of joy that was happy for a friend, but there was no excitement or more exaggerated madness.

"Yes, I received the notification yesterday." Li Cha was stunned for a moment. Counting the itinerary on the plane, it should have been the notification the day before yesterday. It took off during the day and landed during the day, and the jet lag was too messy.

"Don't contact me when you come back, don't you treat me as a friend?" Gao Jie's tone was very relaxed, as if he really got along with friends.

"No way, I don't know what the rules are on the training team. Let's understand it first. You can't violate the rules."

"That's right. If possible, how about reshooting some commercials in July and having a fan meeting?"

Li Cha burst out laughing, "So you're just squeezing my value, I have to consult and apply."

"Haha." Gao Jie smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, we also cooperate with the men's basketball team, and there will be a lot of filming, so it should be fine."

Also, the basketball association's funds cannot be entirely dependent on state funding, and advertising revenue must also account for a large part. Since advertising can be shot, there is hope for Luo Xi to visit him at that time.

But it is better to think of a way.

"Then I'm going to ask again."

"Tell me, I can help you personally if you don't ask too much."

Hey, does that mean don't mention it to the group?

"Roxi may return to Huaxia in the middle, and then you can take care of her and bring her in to see me."

Gao Jie also burst out laughing, "It's as if you've gone in. Don't worry, she's here. I'll take care of all the food, drink, and fun. It's okay to go in and see you."

"Then it's settled."

After getting in the car that picked him up, he went to Imperial Sports University. Li Cha chatted with the staff who picked him up without saying a word, and then clicked on the news, wanting to know about the team's follow-up work.

Sure enough, the headline that came into view was "Paul George signed a contract with the Thunder, and then joined hands with Westbrook to hit the championship". In 4 years, 1.37 million, George signed a maximum salary, and the salary was close to Westbrook.

I feel like I have lost money. Is the contract I signed last year a bit too small.

Li Cha shook his head mockingly.

But it wasn't Li Cha who should go crazy, but the Lakers.

Last season, George said that he wanted to play with the Lakers before he was put on the shelf by the Pacers. The Lakers waited for George to fulfill his promise, but finally waited a lonely time. George actually renewed his contract with the Thunder in the most unlikely way!

The Lakers will have two maximum salary spaces left for superstars to join next season.

However, Li Cha didn't click to open it, because there was another piece of news that caught his attention even more.

"The Rockets will not re-sign Melo Anthony"

Strong curiosity made Li Cha order to go in.

The article wrote that Anthony moved slowly on the court, and his weak defense could not perform unlimited defense changes. As a result, the Rockets could not restrain their opponents when they played five minutes, especially in the Western Conference Finals.

From this point of view, Anthony did not play a very good role in the Rockets.

And the Rockets will renew their contract with Paul, and Melon will definitely not get a contract.

The Lakers have expressed interest in Anthony and may become Melon's next home.

Li Cha scoffed, the Lakers wouldn't want Anthony, the Lakers wanted to quickly regain the championship ranks, and they wouldn't want such a player who wasn't sure he could bring the team victory.

Unexpectedly, Anthony finally fell into the hands of the Rockets.

Although these reports provided some data, in fact, Anthony's performance in the Western Conference Finals was definitely better than Harden's, scoring key goals many times to help the team catch up with the score.

But the Rockets have Harden as the absolute core, and Harden will not be blamed for any loss in the game, so a scapegoat is needed.

And the best candidate for this scapegoat is Anthony, who was originally a super giant, but his strength has declined.

"We're here!" When Li Cha was thinking, the staff reminded him that he had already arrived at the training ground of the Chinese men's basketball red team - Imperial Sports University.
