MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 222 The harvest in the labor agreement, and the sunny weather in the international arena...
Falling in love with you Kanshu, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
June 20.
The New York Knicks ushered in a grand "championship parade."
This is the first Knicks "championship parade" in 38 years. Crazy Knicks fans have long been looking forward to this day.
Dolan is very clear about everyone's expectations. In order to avoid the final effect not meeting the expectations of the fans and being dug up "ancestral graves" on the Internet, he generously spent 2.5 million dollars in activity funds to ensure this One cruise can be enough to enjoy yourself.
On the day of the Knicks' "championship parade", nike launched Li Wan's third-generation signature shoes.
This signature shoe is named by Li Wan himself:
it's all mine!
Translated into Chinese is: I want it all!
The designer was very satisfied when he heard the name.
There is no more suitable adjective for Li Wan in the 2010~11 season.
From stats to honors, Li Wan really did it, oh, oh, all of it!
No one will fall!
The sneakers are all black.
Light is divided into seven colors, and the combination of the seven colors is black, which is the main color of the sneakers that is most suitable for the third-generation signature shoes. At the same time, the gold thread is bordered and wrapped around the tongue to form the spelling of "New York", but this "New York" looks like a crown...
Means: "King of New York"!
Seeing this crown, even Li Wan couldn't help shouting:
Big guts!
Is there any law left!
Is this a graphic you can trace?
Beware of being dropped by someone~
Li Wan's influence was fully reflected at this moment. He released new shoes for New York, who won the third championship in team history, which attracted the attention of New York State. A local tycoon invested millions and bought him an entire page in The New York Times to introduce the third generation of signature shoes belonging to Li Wan.
It can be predicted that the sales of this pair of shoes will set a new record in the United States!
This is definitely good news for Li Wan, but for Nike, it should be a sweet trouble.
Li Wan had signed a contract with him for 4 years at that time, and now the third generation of signature shoes has been produced, and the contract will officially expire next summer. This pair of signature shoes has set a new record. Although they are working together very happily, they have to think carefully about the price they should give...
Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Wan.
Two and a half million dollars was not for nothing.
There are 10 sightseeing cars for the parade alone.
Li Wan held the championship trophy and the finals mvp trophy, standing on the first advertising car.
Dayao was also in the first car, but he stayed on the roof for a while before getting off.
The wind was so strong that it gave him a headache!
And with his height, whether the fence on the roof of the sightseeing car is the same, he doesn't feel safe, so he should go down and sit on the seat blocked by the window, and happily show an "emoji" smile.
Kwame Brown and Artest sprayed champagne from the crotch from left to right.
The translucent and odorless liquid filled the air and turned into tiny beads that slowly fell. The Knicks fans did not hide, bathed in the "holy water" and showed devout and fanatical smiles.
delicious!
Seeing this, Artest and Kwame Brown fired "champagne shells" more excitedly: it's delicious, drink more!
This sparked cheers and cheers.
Knicks fans think it's okay, Lewis thinks it's not.
Artest and Kwame Brown can't do it!
Shooting so close, who is it for?
He picked up a handle of champagne, shook it vigorously, and a "water column" shot up into the sky and shot further away.
The atmosphere is hotter...
Lewis leaned back slightly, what is a "high fort"!
Seeing his good brother having so much fun, Ray Allen also showed his "long-range shooting accuracy" of the "historical three-pointer". If Lewis "shoots high and far", then Ray Allen Lun means "shooting far and accurately", whichever mouth he refers to, he can rush into any mouth...
Lewis stared blankly.
Giegie, worthy of being a giegie!
Great technology!
"Seattle Gemini" noise attracted the attention of Artest and Kwame Brown. The two glanced at each other, and the battle began!
Immediately shake the champagne bottle more vigorously.
The "Big Apple City" became the "Grand Champagne City".
The sightseeing caravan departed from Madison Square, circled an irregular circle, and returned to Madison Square again. Tens of thousands of Knicks fans followed behind the car.
The whole journey lasted 1 hour. The Knicks outside shooters and Kwame Brown sprayed for an hour, and the New Yorkers also drank for an hour.
It's fun.
When the car stopped, there was a burst of noise at the scene, they haven't had a good time yet!
But when Li Wan, wearing a championship hat, appeared on the center stage with a microphone, all the clamor turned into unanimous cheers:
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
…
Shouting and shouting, I don't know who suddenly yelled:
"newy!"
Then everyone changed their mouths:
"newy!"
"newy!"
"newy!"
…
Li Wan looked at the most excited fan in front of him, stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
But what he didn't expect was that his actions caused the fan to react more violently, his body trembled suddenly, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily.
When he knelt down, other New Yorkers followed suit...
Yes, the king is used to bow down!
Tens of thousands of New York fans knelt down one by one, and reporters on the sidelines hurriedly recorded the classic scene with cameras: Ten thousand people knelt down to worship the "new king of New York"!
"Lee, you said on the night of the championship that this is just the beginning, will we have more championships?"
"Are we going to have a three-peat, man?"
"New York won't have just one champion, will it, Lee?"
…
From the crowd came a question from the "people" who was looking forward to it.
Li Wan picked up the microphone and answered these expectations head-on:
"Guys, like I said, this is the beginning, not the end, and you're going to be the luckiest generation of New York fans, because you've got the best 'New York Times' ever!"
The simple and clear answer made the fans who were still kneeling on the scene excited, and they opened their hands even more frantically, and shouted again:
"newy!"
"newy!"
"newy!"
The Knicks public relations team was a little worried about the scene of a gathering organized by a "cult", so they immediately sent more people to protect Li Wan and leave the scene.
The "Champions Parade" ushered in New York again after 38 years, ended in a hot atmosphere in a hurry!
Li Wan's popularity in New York has aroused heated discussions across the United States, and the "Wan Min Pilgrimage" is even more shocking to the audience. How have they ever seen such devout New York fans?
In the afternoon, the mayor of New York personally called Li Wan, hoping that he could cooperate with the government to film a public service advertisement, and persuade everyone to stop defecating indiscriminately.
"City of Piss" is really not good!
Li Wan agreed, but he didn't agree in vain. He took the opportunity to join hands with the officials to set up a refugee-related charity foundation. The government specially approved a piece of land for him and brought him sponsorship. Li Wan transformed into an officially authorized "Director of the New York Refugee Center".
Prestige, continue to improve...
However, for the follow-up matters, Li Wan still handed over the full authority to Tai Lun, and let him take charge of everything that followed.
Taylor has been quite busy recently.
pg1 has just launched several new products related to the 2010~11 season. In addition, Li Wan chatted with Taylor, and officially decided to establish a sub-brand xl under the brand of pg1.
Taylor is the person in charge of the brand and the image spokesperson.
Tai Lun is still responsible for these procedures.
Now they have set up such a "New York Refugee Camp"...
After discussing with Li Wan, Tai Lun decided to formally set up "Team Li", otherwise he really couldn't play such a big handicap by himself.
Li Wan agreed.
It just so happens that Li Zi is about to graduate. There are many relatives in the team, which can make Li Wan feel more at ease, but he talked with Li Zi specifically, asking her to watch more and learn more, talk less and do more, and when she really learns how to operate Team, it's not too late to express your opinion...
Li Zi didn't take it seriously at first, but after she fully understood Li Wan's current business scale, she suddenly became modest and cautious.
Li Wan devoted himself to the summer special training.
If he becomes a complete star in the new season, all his template tasks will be completed. According to previous experience, after the end of the regular season next season, his new template should also be credited.
Li Wan's task this summer is also very simple, to improve some aspects that still have a lot of room for growth, so that he can become more balanced... Mainly, the improvement of those aspects that are about to be drained of potential is really too slow, like CIC, he is now practicing In one summer, they might not be able to improve by 2 points.
Or spend your time on the more obvious shortcomings.
June 25.
On the 4th day after Li Wan officially started training, the NBA ushered in the annual draft.
Another group of young talents is about to enter this league.
As before, the Cavaliers, which had the league's second-to-last record in the regular season, failed to get the No. 1 pick. Instead, relying on the pick provided by the Clippers, they won the final No. 1 pick in 2011.
Still the same as before, the Cavaliers selected Kyrie Irving into the team.
The most demonic man entered the league with the No. 1 pick in the first round in 2011.
The second pick is Derek Williams.
The template given to him by the scouts was none other than LeBron James. The Cavaliers also wanted to choose this "James" at one point, but they were still impressed by Kyrie Irving's gorgeous offensive skills when they finally chose, and gave up the "Junior James". LeBron."
The Timberwolves looked at the stupidity of the Cavaliers and gave up the opportunity to choose "LeBron". They immediately placed an order and snatched the "King of Tomorrow".
The third pick is Kanter, a man who has no relevant information for a certain period of time after 20 years.
In terms of talent, he is worthy of the third pick in the first round, but his brain is not working well, and he finally made himself a "wanted criminal".
The fourth pick will be the famous "Eight Sage Kings" in the future, with an average of 8 plus 8 per game, and he dares to ask for 80 million... Of course, in terms of his future "achievements", black people with bad brains really have to contribute to him Only 80 million will come out... After all, he single-handedly defended a "Best Defensive Player" of a Kardashian family. Prevent others from being single-defended.
The fifth overall pick is Valanciunas.
In terms of the quality of the top five, 2011 can actually be considered a "draft year."
This is not only for the NBA, but also for the CBA. In this draft, many future CBA stars have appeared, such as "Little LeBron" Derek Williams.
Another example is "Lonely God" Jimmer Fredette.
Plus Jordan Crawford…
This group of players who were eliminated by the NBA but shined in the CBA all have one thing in common: all-around...
In Fredette's scouting report, he is a combo guard, and in Derek Williams' scouting report, he is "an all-around striker who can do three things and four things."
But when they really entered the alliance, they all became "all-powerful"...
It's not just this draft that has such a problem, most of the drafts will have such "all-round" players become "all-round".
The reason is also very simple, the league level is too high...
Before the "Lonely God", Biyombo and Kemba Walker were also selected by the team successively, and then Klay Thompson was taken to Golden State by the Warriors with the 11th overall pick in the first round as before. "Kawhi Yoon" was also selected by the Pacers with the 15th overall pick in the first round, and changed the Spurs' team cap on the spot...
Then the Morris brothers, Nikola Vucevic, Reggie Jackson, and Jimmy Butler were also selected one by one.
These familiar names continue to illustrate how high the quality of the 2011 draft is!
Do you think this is the end?
There are also good options in the second round such as Bojan Bogdanovic, Chandler Parsons and Isaiah Thomas.
what a pity…
The New York Knicks have traded all their draft picks this year. No matter how good the quality is, they are doomed to be spectators, so Li Wan simply didn't watch this year's draft.
As long as he doesn't watch it, it means that there are no rookies this year!
But if I really want to say, there is really not much discussion in this year's draft. July 1st is approaching, and everyone's eyes are on labor negotiations.
ESPN previously offered a sky-high broadcast contract, and the ratings of this year's finals hit a new high since 1998, especially the last game, which reached an exaggerated 32.14 million!
Many media are optimistic that the labor agreement will be renewed before the old contract expires.
Just judging from the situation when the representatives of the labor and management met today, it was not so optimistic.
The quarrel between the two sides was fierce. Especially when Michael Jordan sat on the boss chair and slapped the table and scolded "Mother Xipi": "Why do you want so much?"
This is vaguely reminiscent of the league lockout in 1999, when Michael Jordan sat in the player representative's seat and slammed the table:
"Why do you want so much!"
From player to owner, Jordan is still that Jordan!
Fortunately, the boss is not monolithic.
Like Dolan and Jerry Buss, both of their bosses think it's pointless to struggle with these few percentage points.
The owner of the Wizards directly ridiculed Jordan for his "wisdom and wisdom", wasting a lot of high-ranking picks, but asked the players to pay for their incompetence.
And like Robert Sarver of the Suns and Dan Gilbert and Michael Jordan of the Cavaliers, the boss deserves more.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still the conflict between the owners of the big city teams and the owners of small city teams.
Like New York and the Lakers, they are making profits every year. As long as the NBA continues to operate, they will have a lot of money in their pockets, and they don't even need to consider the team's performance.
But in a small city like the Suns Cavaliers, a few percentage points are enough to determine whether the team can reach the profit line.
There is a data report from the nba that at least half of the teams in the nba are losing money. This statistic is definitely a bit exaggerated, but it is certain that the teams in small cities are losing money or barely getting enough food and clothing. There are two or three NBA team owners who want to sell the team.
Another one, aside from the ambitions of the capitalists, the labor agreement led by Ewing in 2005 is indeed a bit outrageous. The agreement requires 57% of the league's total income to be used for player salaries, and the remaining 43% for the owner. Profit part...
Such an agreement was actually negotiated for them.
Professional players from the other three major leagues in the United States almost fainted in the toilet.
Such an agreement is destined not to last long, and this year is the day to redistribute the cake.
After the first round of negotiations, as one of the faces of the current alliance, Li Wan participated in the second round of labor agreement negotiations, and watched Wade and David Stern point their noses at each other and scold each other. If the phone hadn't been put away, he really wanted to take a picture and keep it as a souvenir.
Simple two words to describe:
Stimulate!
Due to the large number of people participating in the meeting, many details of the meeting, including the news of Wade and David Stern's confrontation, were spread to the outside world.
The media, who were quite optimistic at first, immediately felt that the "shutdown is inevitable" this summer, which exacerbated the panic of the players. Especially those low-level players have already begun to contact overseas leagues.
Fisher had a chat with Li Wan. In view of the latter's **** nature, Li Wan didn't say anything to him. On July 1, the old labor-management agreement expired, because the new agreement had not yet been signed. David - Stern reluctantly announced that "nba has entered an indefinite lockout".
Now the players are even more panicked...
They expressed their dissatisfaction with the players union, thinking that the chairman of the union should be replaced by a more capable person. They hope that Ewing can come out and talk to the owners on behalf of the players union.
Ewing has been retired for so long, and still has to make a living in the team. Naturally, he doesn't want to stand against the boss, but he mentioned one person:
"Li Wan is a successful businessman who owns his own business. Perhaps he is more suitable to lead this labor negotiation."
Li Wan stood on the cusp of the storm.
Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he chose to remain silent during the second round of labor agreement, but now Ewing's words made him have to stand up and say something.
Otherwise, he will become a "selfish villain" in the eyes of the players...
However, he knew what Ewing was thinking. This was an opportunity for him to establish prestige among the players. If this problem could be resolved satisfactorily and quickly, the league would be full of Li Wan's brothers in the future.
Li Wan didn't stay silent for too long, and soon accepted an interview: "This league has the best players on the planet, which is what makes the NBA special, but as long as these top players exist, Then this league can be called nba, aba, or cba..."
These words can be described as "one stone stirs up a thousand waves".
Even David Stern called Li Wan overnight...Are you serious?
He couldn't help being so excited.
On the afternoon of the day when Li Wan spoke, several "billionaires" in Ohio and New York expressed their willingness to join in the formation of the new league.
Coupled with the "Huaxia Market" behind Li Wan, I am afraid that the season will start on September 15 this year...
That's so much energy!
You said, how could David Stern not be afraid?
Li Wan replied helplessly: "David, hurry up and settle this matter, I know you have the ability..."
"...I see, Lee!"
The little Jewish old man hung up the phone, relieved.
Regardless of whether Li Wan's words were serious or not, Stern heard the meaning very clearly: this guy still trusts him...
This meant that Li Wan didn't really want to start another league.
That's it!
However, right now, Li Wan's remarks caused a bit of a commotion, and the public opinion outside became louder and louder. Judging from the posture, it seemed that a new global league would soon emerge to replace the NBA. He had to appease the bosses as soon as possible.
In fact, the trouble is almost over, and it's time for both employers and employees to show their cards...
On July 3, the first labor-management meeting in which David Stern announced the "shutdown of the league" ended in about an hour and a half. Representatives of both labor and management left the meeting room with happy smiles.
This time, the two sides are no longer just talking about it, but have really discussed it to the point.
Some small aspects have basically been determined, leaving the most important issue of sharing, but this issue has also been discussed temporarily. The players agreed to reduce it a bit, and the bosses are also willing to not exceed 50%!
The progress is so fast. As the chairman of the union, Fisher bluntly said in an interview that "fortunately, he did not disgrace his life", but many players who did not want to disclose their names said: "Why is your face so big?"
After Li Wan finished speaking to the media, the negotiation between labor and management became smoother. The blind man knows who deserves the credit. How dare you take the credit here?
Get out of class now!
Let Li Wan be the chairman of the players union!
These words were not casually said, that night "Old Yu" received the notice of being fired from Yu Yu.
Fisher's face was "green" at that time.
Li Wan didn't expect that he would **** Fisher's player union chairman away with a single sentence...
My **** charm!
On July 5th, the first day that "President Li" took office, the fourth agreement between the labor and management was discussed. When the representatives of the management saw who was coming, they expressed sincerity at that time that we were not greedy and resumed the 99-year It is enough to divide into the labor agreement.
In the finalized share in 1999, the player's salary accounted for 55%...
And it all depends on the "basketball god" sitting in the representative's seat and slapping the table.
Now that Li Wan is looking at it like this, the final result given by the management is also 55%, which is only 2% lower than before!
Li Wan was calm on the surface, but he was full of surprises in his heart. He remembered clearly that the original 2011 collective bargaining agreement divided players and owners between 49% and 51%.
It is equivalent to saying that the players have dropped by 6%~8%!
Is it so easy?
What Li Wan didn't know was that the original situation was very different from the current situation:
First, at this time, ESPN did not offer a sky-high price in advance to renew the contract;
Second, the ratings of the original 2011 finals were not bad, but compared with the "Hukai War" in 10 years, it was still a bit down, but this time the ratings of the finals were a new high since 1998;
Such a favorable development trend, coupled with the commotion caused by Li Wan's words, made the league bosses very clear that what the NBA needs most now are only two words:
Maintain stability!
The most important thing is that David Stern also tends to give up players this time, and even the most stubborn Michael Jordan said to him, "No, you sell the team!"
You stop playing!
To say that the "God of Basketball" is used to lawlessness, but in front of David Stern, he behaves like a "three-good student".
In fact, he also knows that the valuation of the Bobcats rises every year in units of 100 million, and no matter how much the team loses, it is impossible to lose more than 100 million yuan. This is the same as raising "real estate" with money.
Seeing that David Stern was angry now, he could only shut up and agree.
Of course, David Stern's ability to be so strong has a lot to do with the disagreement with the boss.
As long as the majority of the bosses support him, he can treat the remaining bosses who disagree as he treats his own subordinate employees.
But if most of the bosses agree with something, such as disagreeing with Paul joining the Lakers, then no matter how much he insists, as long as there is room for manipulation, he can only do it obediently and cannot shirk.
To put it bluntly, four or five points are two to three hundred million yuan, and evenly divided into each team, it is only 10 million yuan...
This is still fighting for a hammer, so let it go!
Li Wan ended the meeting about the sharing in such a smooth way, less than half an hour before and after. Less than half an hour after he walked out of the meeting room, the officials also announced the latest labor share that was discussed.
When they saw the official document stating that players' salaries still accounted for as high as 55%, the players in the entire league were overwhelmed, and they tweeted one by one:
"Li Wan is my god!"
Including Kevin Durant also sent such a tweet.
You ask him if he really wants to send it?
He will definitely use a trumpet to say: no!
But at this time, expressing "Li Wan is a god" is politically correct. He has to!
The most difficult part was over, and in the next labor-management meeting, the remaining parts were quickly finalized. "Chairman Li" watched the birth of the "Li Wan Clause" with his own eyes.
Like the original "Ross Clause", the "Li Wan Clause" stipulates that after a player has executed his rookie contract, he can get a salary equal to 30% of the team's salary cap when he signs the second contract of his career. maximum salary contract.
The original rookie can get a maximum salary contract that accounts for 25% of the team's salary cap after executing the rookie contract.
Although it is only 5%, Li Wan's starting salary can get 17.4 million!
About 3 million more than the original...
It is also worth mentioning that the original labor agreement in 2011 stipulated that the six-year increase of "bird rights" was 10.5%, but the new version is only 7.5%.
Other years also changed from 8% to 4.5%…
These are all changes based on changes in the share ratio.
This version of the player's salary ratio did not drop so much that this part of the change did not appear.
This means that Li Wan's annual increase is still 8% when the "Li Wan Clause" is triggered!
In this way, even if Li Wan only signs a "3 plus 1" contract, the total salary of the contract can be as high as 78.5 million!
Compared with the original 5-year 86 million, there is only a difference of 7.5 million, which is almost the size of Kwame Brown's one-year contract...
It can be seen that the "Li Wan Clause" is overbearing!
However, the conditions are also more stringent than the original.
The original "Ross Clause" required being an MVP in the first four years of a rookie contract, or being selected to the starting lineup twice in the All-Star Game, or being selected to the All-NBA Team twice.
As long as any condition is met.
But now, any two conditions need to be met.
This made it impossible for Kevin Durant, the first person to enjoy the "Ross Clause", to trigger the "Li Wan Clause". It's just a little bit short. Currently, he has been selected to the All-NBA Team twice, and he has also been a starting All-Star once. As long as he has another All-Star starting experience, he can still meet this requirement...
Knowing the news, Kevin Durant trained himself even harder.
Trying to make myself forget about this matter through overwork!
The effect is still there. After two hours of crazy training, Kevin Durant kept muttering: "I don't want to get in the light of this guy. Let him trigger the Li Wan clause alone. Anyway, 1450 There is not much difference between 10,000 and 17.4 million!"
"Besides, he has 80 million in four years, and I have... more than 80 million in five years! Isn't it just one more year? What's the difference?"
It's just that, saying so, the eyes were filled with tears at some point.
Especially when I saw some private messages sent to him by some netizens on Twitter:
"Kevin Kevin, you and Li Wan are both rookies in the class of 2007. You signed a new contract this summer. How come you are more than 80 million in 5 years, and he is almost 80 million in 4 years?"
"Isn't this bullying honest people!"
"Kevin, I'm so angry for you!"
…
Especially after seeing Scarlett like Li Wan's related news, he couldn't help it anymore, and tears flowed down.
He is so sour!
With the announcement of the "Li Wan Clause", the union's labor agreement, which had been raging a lot a week ago, came to a successful conclusion.
Li Wan became the biggest winner, not only gained the status of "Chairman Li", but also gained a higher status among the players. At the same time, the "Li Wan Clause" was triggered, and a "highest salary contract" that was much higher than the original renewal contract was about to be signed.
However, in the eyes of everyone, he deserves everything he has obtained, and some players even think...for a "player hero" like Li Wan, these are not enough!
On July 10, the labor agreement came into effect, and David Stern immediately announced the restart of the league, and the free trade market, which was 10 days late, officially started.
After discussing with Donnie Walsh, Li Wan signed a 4-year 78.5 million in the form of "3 plus 1"!
The first three years of a normal contract, the final year is a player option...
This binding time gave Li Wan a sense of security.
At the same time, Mike Conley and Greg Oden both signed their own contract extensions.
Oden's contract is the same as Kevin Durant's, 85 million in 5 years;
Conley's is a little less, but it also has 64 million in 5 years. Compared with the original 45 million in 5 years he signed in 2011, this contract is nearly 20 million larger.
But it's normal. The original Mike Conley was moving forward at a "turtle speed". After finishing the fourth year of his rookie contract, he averaged only 13.7 points, 6.5 assists and 3 rebounds per game in the season. Now, in the third year of his rookie contract alone, his The average data per game has reached 16.5 plus 8, and this season has reached 18.4 points plus 7 assists... More than 4 million a year, in the words of Director Zhang, it is quite reasonable!
The only member of the "Ohio Three" who has not renewed his contract is Daequan Cook.
However, it's not that he didn't sign a renewal contract, but the amount is not large. There are about two or three contract renewal contracts of four to five million in two years, and he is still weighing it.
The current situation shows that he is very dangerous and is already on the verge of being eliminated by the league. He must ensure that his next team will give him enough playing time to allow him to perform.
The same is true of Li Wan's advice to him, think it over carefully.
But what he didn't expect was that Donnie Walsh called him that night: "Man, I'm going to sign your college teammate Daequan Cook. Let Lei have more rest time!"
For a long time last year, Li Wanlai played the second position as a guest.
This position has always been what Donny Walsh wants to strengthen!
Right now, Dai Quinn Cook is obviously a good choice. Of course, ability is one aspect. The most important thing is that he has a very harmonious relationship with Li Wan and will not become a potential turbulent factor in the locker room.
This is one of the main considerations for Donnie Walsh's signings now.
Li Wan only signed a 3+1 contract, which made him realize that Li Wan still lacks a sense of security for the Knicks.
Of course, Walsh didn't blame Li Wan for this.
As for the boss with cerebral palsy, even Walsh can't guarantee, when will he have another flirty idea!
When Li Wan heard Walsh's thoughts, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He still knew Cook's strength, and it would definitely be no problem to play as a substitute.
Personal ability is also there, the three-point shooting contest is a place that even the "God of Basketball" can't conquer, but this guy has won the three-point shooting contest!
This is enough to prove that Cook's three-point shooting ability is above the standard.
As for the defensive end, active defense has always been Cook's label, but he is a little embarrassed: most of the players who are better than him are the main players of other teams, and those who are less capable than him are cheaper than him Some, so that in many cases, he is not the first choice of weak teams, nor the first choice of strong teams, and has become "the spare tire of the spare tire".
Donnie Walsh can think of him, thanks to him being Li Wan's college teammate.
Soon, Cook also called Li Wan and told him very excitedly: "Li, the Knicks management called me and wanted to make an appointment with me for a trial training. We may play together in the new season!"
Li Wan nodded, slightly "surprised": "Really? Great!"
In fact, he knew it, and he even asked Donny Walsh to arrange the trial training. Only in this way, Cook would not doubt whether he aroused Donny Walsh's interest because of Li Wan.
In this way, even if he really becomes a teammate, it will be very stressful for Cook.
Li Wan didn't want Cook to play in such a situation.
It is the best arrangement to arrange a trial training for him and let him enter the Knicks relying on his own strength!
July 12.
The men's basketball Asian Cup kicked off.
This round of series of events is related to the ticket qualification for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Yao Ming also joined the team.
In fact, the Huaxia men's basketball team, as the last Olympic gold medalist, should automatically get tickets this time, and it doesn't matter if they don't participate. But Lan Xie asked Dayao to lead the team and bring back the championship for the sake of performance.
He even asked Dayao to call Li Wan to join him.
Of course, Li Wan refused. This kind of competition, which has already won tickets, can be used to train newcomers. For the so-called honor, Lan Xie still chose to join the elite...
With the presence of Dayao and Yi Jianlian, who is gradually entering his peak period, as the main force, this China men's basketball team was completely reduced in dimensionality in the Asian Cup. It won an average of 23 points per game and entered the knockout stage with a record of victory.
And then successfully squeezed into the top 4.
But in the semi-final match against Yin Lang, Yao had an accident... After fighting for a rebound at the basket, Yao suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his calf in pain.
Finally, with the support of his teammates, he left the scene and never returned to the field until the end of the game.
So much so that although the Huaxia men's basketball team had the last laugh in this game, the domestic fans couldn't laugh at all. Li Wan knew about Dayao's injury immediately, just like the original him:
Stress fractures.
To put it bluntly, I am sick from overwork.
In fact, the Knicks team doctor also informed D'Antoni of this hidden danger during several inspections. Therefore, in the season that just ended, D'Antoni's use of Dayao can be said to be careful and careful.
The average playing time in the regular season is only 25.4 minutes, and in the playoffs, the playing time is almost maintained. In the finals, Shaquille O'Neal's playing time was once increased. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com is to ensure that Dayao has enough rest.
To ensure that Dayao can still finish the second season of the contract!
They did a great job, Yao finished the season healthy, and then...
Injured in the international arena!
It takes time to recover from this injury, at least a year, that is to say...
Dayao will definitely not be able to play in the new season!
When Li Wan heard the news, his first reaction was a little surprised, he was used to a healthy Dayao. But thinking about what Dayao has undertaken, and his sense of responsibility for the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, I feel that this is Dayao's ultimate destiny!
Of course, Li Wan would feel a little irony:
After all, the New York Knicks have been paying attention to letting him rest in order to keep him as healthy as possible and play longer.
The paid ones did.
Didn't pay, didn't make it...
Sure enough, free things are generally not cherished even if they are obtained.
Donnie Walsh also called Li Wan soon: "Dude, I heard, what should we do next?" His tone was impatient.
"Let me chat with Dayao first, you can find the fifth position here..."
Regardless of the outcome of this conversation, it is certain that Dayao will not be able to play in the new season. Shaq left, Dayao was reimbursed for the season, and the fifth position, which was originally the strongest in the New York Knicks, suddenly became weak. If there is no signing, Kwame Brown alone will definitely not be able to support the Knicks inside in the new season.
Don't forget, the number four...
It's Lewis!
