Basketball Dragon

Chapter 100

"I don't need a long-term contract, just a 2+1 contract, and I need player options for the third year."

Putting down the phone, Li Hai picked up the basketball newspaper in front of him.

"It looks really enviable, can I appear on this tomorrow."

The newspaper was accompanied by color photos of the players, All Defensive First Team, Larry Hughes, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace.

All-Defensive Second Team, Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince, Andrei Kirilenko, Marcus Camby.

The most enviable best team is basically the star of each team. The first team is Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan And Shaquille O'Neal.

The best second team is Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Amare Stoudemire.

The best third team is Gilbert Arenas, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Sean Marion and Ben Wallace.

The playoffs are still in full swing, with the Heat and Pistons entering the Eastern Conference finals, while the Suns and Spurs entered the Western Conference finals.

If nothing else, the Spurs will fight the Pistons in seven games in the finals, and finally Tim Duncan will win the finals MVP.

Unable to continue participating, Li Hai felt a sense of loss in his heart.

After returning, he first visited the current head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Jonas Kazlauskas.

Because of his achievements in the NBA, officials from the Basketball Association accompanied him on a trip.

Jonas is very familiar with Li Hai. He inspected Li Hai before the Athens Olympics, but he was still an assistant coach at that time.

After Jonas became the head coach, he immediately established the names of several young players, including Li Hai.

Li Hai has never been the thorny type, and the two sides talked very happily.

After putting away the newspaper, Li Hai walked out of the hotel with only one suitcase, ready to report to the men's basketball training camp. Although he made a small name in the NBA, it was his first time to participate in the national team training camp.

He is not the only newcomer this time. Jonas likes to use young people, such as Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and others. The younger Yi Jianlian entered the national team last year.

The only person Li Hai is familiar with in this training camp is Yao Ming. When he was in the United States, he and Yao Ming often exchanged text messages, and they have become friends.

Yao Ming was familiar with the three generations of the national team, the old, the middle and the young, so he took Li Hai to say hello, especially the veterans.

Li Hai has never been against such things as putting his attitude right. For him, the only important thing is to unite with his teammates to win the game. He is not arrogant because he came back from the United States, and he has a good impression on his teammates and coaches.

In training, he worked hard and never complained that he was tired, but when it came to confrontation training, he did not have the slightest attitude of humility, and soon established a certain position in the national team.

For things like competitive sports, no matter which event it is, as long as you show your strength, you will be respected accordingly.

The head coach Yunus attaches great importance to strength training, and the players in the training camp are miserable, but Li Hai, whose strength has reached the standard of an inside player, makes Yunus very happy.

His coaching philosophy is the combination of complex tactics and rigorous team division of labor, while incorporating American-style fast and sharp individual performances. Li Hai is obviously a player that meets his requirements.

When Li Hai started to participate in the training camp, the 2005 NBA draft also started.

Due to the mid-season trade, the Knicks got two draft picks from the Spurs, namely the 2005 first-round pick originally belonging to the Phoenix Suns and a 2006 pick from the Spurs, so this year the Knicks have two first-round picks lottery and a second round lottery.

The Knicks' goal is very clear, which is the inside players.

However, unlike in history, the Knicks' first-round pick became 15th because they entered the playoffs.

但他们依旧选择到了早就关注的球员，纽约本地人2米11的钱宁-弗莱，然后在30位选择了2米06的大卫-李，最后在57位选择了2米11的波兰人马辛-戈塔特。

Because of Li Hai's rapid growth, they only need to choose inside players.

They also made a bunch of trades on draft day, trading Kurt Thomas from the Phoenix Suns for Quentin Richardson and the rights to sign rookie Nate Robinson.

Li Hai has a good relationship with Kurt Thomas, and it hurts to hear that he is leaving.

But this is also Kurt Thomas' own choice. He doesn't want to stay on the same team with Marbury anymore. Li Hai also called to say goodbye to Kurt Thomas. He is also very willing to the Suns.

The Knicks' summer certainly wasn't over yet. Isiah Thomas vowed to make a big fight. Not long after, Lehi learned from Marbury that he and Isiah Thomas had dealt with the famous coach Larry Brown.

Marbury did not have a very pleasant experience working with Larry Brown in the Olympics before, but he still hopes that the famous coach will be stationed in New York, not because Larry Brown helped the Pistons win the 03-04 season championship, but because of Larry -Brown took Allen Iverson to the Finals.

Marbury thinks that he is very similar to Allen Iverson. If Larry Brown can lead Iverson to achieve results, he will definitely be able to lead him to achieve results. The season has been called a cancer.

Li Hai was not in the United States, and most of the news about the team's operation was obtained from Marbury. Their communication during this period was no less than during the game.

At the end of July, the first Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball Champions Cup was held in BJ. The participating teams included Asian champions China, African champions Angola, Oceania champions Australia, Central and South American champions Puerto Rico, 7 Athens Olympic champion Argentina, and veteran basketball teams Lithuania.

The Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball Champions Cup is an important warm-up for the 23rd Asian Men's Basketball Championship. The final 12-man list will be confirmed after the Sri Lankan Cup.

For the fans, they most want to see the cooperation between Li Hai and Yao Ming, but Yao Ming still has a foot injury and will not play in the Sri Lankan Cup.

The fact that Yao Ming can't play is a pity for the fans, but the team doesn't think much about it. Yao Ming will definitely stay on the team. There is no problem with the cooperation between him and the national team. The Sri Lankan Cup can also be used to test other inside players.

However, the officials of the Basketball Association have some ideas. The Sri Lanka Cup is also a high-level official international basketball competition. As the host, it is the first time. They hope that the Chinese team can achieve results.
