The men's basketball team's first warm-up match was against the Spanish team, and the game was very intense.

Because the two teams are not in the same group, if they meet in the knockout stage, this will be their only chance to get familiar with each other, so they played very seriously.

In the end, the men's basketball team lost the game.

On the one hand, Deng Huade was very cautious in using Yao Ming and did not let Yao Ming play too much time.

On the other hand, Jeremy Lin has just joined the men's basketball team and he still needs time to get used to the game.

It was after this game that Xu Yong and Jeremy Lin found Deng Huade together to discuss the use of Jeremy Lin.

Then in the following warm-up matches, the men's basketball team defeated Lithuania, Serbia and France in succession, achieving a three-game winning streak in the warm-up matches.

Yao Ming still doesn't have much playing time, only about twenty minutes in a game.

The key is that Jeremy Lin has found his own position.

He will start with Xu Yong at the beginning of the game, allowing Xu Yong to play without the ball to find his feeling.

Then he spent more time leading the team with the ball in the transition period from the bench, allowing Xu Yong to get enough rest time.

If the men's basketball team did not have Xu Yong, Jeremy Lin would not accept such a role.

But when Xu Yong, the MVP and FMVP, the second superstar after Jordan to win all the honors in a season, is on the team, it is an honor for Jeremy Lin to play such a role.

With Jeremy Lin, Xu Yong can finally get some normal rest time after going through the tough World Championships and the Finals.

Judging from the results of the warm-up matches, the naturalization of Jeremy Lin was very successful.

As for the fact that the men's basketball team was able to find Jeremy Lin's instruction manual so quickly, it was actually expected.

The suggestions proposed by Xu Yong are actually not very advanced. They are basically the same as what the Bulls did to Rose last season.

It works because the current men's basketball team structure is so similar to the Bulls.

Deng Huade's tactical system is the same as Thibodeau's, which is to play defensive counterattacks; Jeremy Lin is good at pick-and-roll, and the Bulls' positional warfare also starts from pick-and-roll. In this regard, he may be more suitable than Rose.

The men's basketball team has finished its warm-up games, and there is finally some movement in the NBA free market.

Deron finally made a choice. He did not choose to go to Dallas, but stayed with the Nets.

There are many obvious reasons, such as the Nets paid so much for him and it is not appropriate for him to just leave, Dallas is a place where discrimination is too serious and he doesn't want to go there, etc.

But in the end, it all comes down to one word: money.

This is actually the first choice for most NBA players when considering things.

Winning a championship is certainly a good thing, but for most players, winning a championship is just to increase their value and get more money.

So why go the extra mile when you can get more money directly?

What's more, Deron knows his physical condition best.

So Deron's choice can be said to be unexpected, but also completely reasonable.

With Deron's decision, Nash's next home soon surfaced.

He chose to return to Dallas with a three-year, $28 million contract, signing and then trading, to make the final impact of his career with Nowitzki.

When this news came out, I don’t know how many old fans’ DNA was touched.

Nash and Nowitzki, the Dallas Three Musketeers, what a distant memory.

And the Mavericks did not stop their journey of strengthening their team. After signing Nash, they followed the example of the Rockets and offered Danny Green of the Spurs a three-year, $24 million poison contract.

The idea behind this offer is very clear. In addition to Leonard, they want to find another outside defensive defender to clean up Nash's mess and maintain the team's overall offensive and defensive balance.

After cursing Mo Gou madly in his heart, Popovich gritted his teeth and matched the contract.

Green showed what they lacked most last season, his perimeter defensive ability, and they cannot afford the risk of letting him go.

But in this way, it will be basically difficult for the Spurs to keep George Hill.

“It’s an appetizer for the new season.”

This was Xu Yong’s first feeling when he saw the news.

Because there is still no confirmed news about the biggest players, James and Howard.

Of course, this appetizer actually also affects James and Howard.

For example, James's way to Dallas was blocked.

The Mavericks' offer to Green shows that Cuban doesn't think highly of James at all, and the previous rumors were just Riley's wishful thinking.

It seems that we really have to wait until August to get the results.

…

At the end of July, the 2012 London Olympic Games officially kicked off.

At the opening ceremony, Yao Ming became the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic team.

This was his farewell match in his national team career. When he appeared at the front of the team, there was thunderous cheers from the audience.

Although this is London, Yao Ming now has a World Championship and two NBA championships, and his historical status has been greatly raised.

But what’s even more interesting is that when the entrance ceremony ended and the camera swept across the Chinese team, it stayed on Xu Yong for quite a while.

The cheers in the stadium also reached a peak.

Xu Yong waved his hand, also feeling a little surprised.

He rarely came to Europe, but he didn't expect that he would be so popular in Europe.

But maybe he himself has forgotten that his first game after entering the NBA was a preseason game in London.

Moreover, he is also Luol Deng's former teammate.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Yong, Yao Ming and others returned to the Olympic Village to rest.

Along the way, athletes would come to them from time to time to take photos.

Especially Xu Yong, there are a lot of female athletes who want to take photos with him. Although most of them have small breasts, there are many good-looking ones among them. That kind of healthy natural beauty is different from that of Hollywood actresses.

Many of them even left him their contact information, hoping to have in-depth discussions with him about life.

After all, even Scarlett couldn't resist a handsome, strong, durable, wealthy, and single basketball player.

"I heard that the number of umbrellas provided in the Olympic Village this year is the largest in the history of the Olympic Games." Yao Ming said with a smile after finally getting rid of those people.

Europeans are the group that has the least control over their lower bodies, and by judging others by their own experience, they have given quite adequate consideration to this aspect.

Xu Yong smiled and shook his head. Yao Ming was obviously envious. Was he... the one who needed an umbrella?

"What do you think of the one Bogut sent?" Yao Ming said while sitting in the bedroom after arriving at his residence.

"He's dreaming." Xu Yong answered directly.

Just yesterday, Bogut posted a status on social media saying that the Chinese men's basketball team was completely overrated and that the Australian team would teach the Chinese team a lesson in the opening game.

Although he knew that Bogut was an absolute moron on social media, he said this just to gain attention.

"It seems that Zhu Ba didn't go too easy." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Xu Yong nodded in agreement.

The two teams were in the same group during the World Championships in Türkiye. The Australian team couldn't stand losing and fought with the Chinese team, but was taught a lesson by Zhu Fangyu.

I didn't expect that after two years, the scars would heal so quickly and the pain would be forgotten.

Oh, no, Bogut didn’t play in the World Championships due to injury, so it seems he never felt any pain.

Speaking of which, people in Australia are different from those in other countries. They are descendants of criminals, and they will not be afraid of you unless you hurt them.

"We need a stunning opening," Xu Yong continued.

Bogut is indeed mentally retarded, but he is definitely not the only one who looks down on them.

This time it was Yao Ming's turn to nod.

A good start is important, and the better the start, the better.

…

The next day, the men's basketball team ushered in the first day of the competition.

At the London Olympic Basketball Arena, the match between the Chinese team and the Australian team was scheduled during prime time.

This stadium is the one that Xu Yong and Luol Deng saw under construction three years ago when the Bulls came to play a preseason game.

Well, there is no toilet in the stadium.

Before the game, head coach Deng Huade fully emphasized this point and asked the players to eat less and drink less water.

The conditions are what they are, and as an athlete you can only overcome them.

During the pre-match warm-up, quite a lot of Chinese fans came to the scene.

Although they were thousands of miles away and the conditions were harsh, these fans still found ways to come to the scene.

On the one hand, the country has developed and has the conditions; on the other hand, fans also know that this is Yao Ming's last dance and the only chance for the men's basketball team to win the Olympics. Who capable of doing so would want to miss it?

During the Australian team's half, Bogut sat on the sidelines to rest.

He now feels a little bloated in the stomach.

There are a lot of delicious food in London, and he didn't control his appetite.

After resting for a while and feeling more comfortable, he stood up and glanced at the Chinese men's basketball team, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Can the Australian team beat the Chinese team?

The chances are not great.

Although the Australian men's basketball team has many new players, they are now facing the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history.

As a core player of the Australian team, he naturally knows this.

But what made him unhappy was that they were ignored, and they were ignored by the Asians, whom he despised the most.

That's why he said those things on social media.

They are noble white people, how dare you, an inferior yellow person?

So even if he can't win, he wants to disgust the Chinese team.

And best of all, he could destroy one or two people in the game.

See, this is what happens when you ignore them.

The warm-up on the field was quickly over, and after their respective opening ceremonies, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Australia: Matthew Dellavedova, Patrick Mills, Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes, Bogut.

Chinese team: Jeremy Lin, Sun Yue, Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming pushed the ball back to half court and the game officially started.

Jeremy Lin started off by playing pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, stealing the ball with the first step before making a close-range jump shot.

However, he underestimated Bogut's reaction speed. Just after he shot the ball, Bogut flew over and fanned the ball out of the court.

"You weak guy, do you think you can score against me? You are just a weak guy!"

After completing the block, Bogut also pressed against Jeremy Lin's body and kept chattering.

Jeremy Lin turned around and didn't argue with him.

"Shut your stinky mouth!" But at this moment, Xu Yong walked up to Bogut and sprayed him in the face.

Bogut was indeed obedient and shut up immediately. Xu Yong is a tough guy in the NBA, in the literal sense.

The referee saw that something was wrong and came over to separate the two.

"What did you say? What did you just say? Who do you think you are?!"

Then, like a dog that is quiet in person but barks through the cage, Bogut continued to chatter.

But after Xu Yong glared at him fiercely, he instantly became quiet again.

Xu Yong suddenly felt bored. Bogut has a nickname in China called Mad Dog, and he really is just like a dog.jpg.

He turned around and pulled Jeremy Lin to his side, saying, "His block is OK. Be careful and pay attention to Yao Ming's position."

Xu Yong's explanation was relatively simple, and Jeremy Lin nodded frequently as he listened.

Because Xu Yong's words had an implicit meaning, which was that he should continue to hold the ball and play, which was a kind of trust.

The ball is still in the hands of the Chinese team. The ball is sent out from the sideline and Jeremy Lin continues to play pick-and-roll with Yao Ming.

It was still a quick grab in the first step. After seeing Bogut rushing over, Jeremy Lin quickly passed the ball to Yao Ming next to him.

Yao Ming received the ball and took one step to break through the basket.

Bogut had just blocked Jeremy Lin and was full of confidence. Facing Yao Ming, he waved his long arms and tried to score a second goal.

But Yao Ming suddenly exerted his strength.

“Bang!”

He just smashed the ball into the basket through Bogut!

This sudden attack caught everyone off guard at first.

Even Bogut stood there in a daze, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Then when the referee's belated whistle sounded, the field was instantly filled with the cheers of the fans.

This is too explosive!

When Yao Ming heard the whistle, he waved his fist in front of him with an angry look on his face, and then gave Bogut one of his favorite tomatoes.

Xu Yong went over and high-fived him vigorously.

Everyone said he was taking a rest. Yao Ming had been resting for more than a month since he played in the fifth game of the finals.

In the past month or so, they only played a few warm-up games. Deng Huade didn't allow Yao Ming to exert much effort, and Yao Ming was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Bogut's move can be said to have hit the target accurately.

Yao Ming made the free throw and the Chinese team started with a 3-0 lead.

When he turned around, Bogut was in the high post, carrying Yao Ming on his back and asking for the ball.

His strengths are rebounding, defense, and high-post coordination, making him an excellent championship-winning inside player.

Although, compared with Yao Ming, who was also the No. 1 pick, he seems a bit lackluster.

But when everyone, even his teammates thought he was going to play assists, he suddenly accelerated facing the basket and dribbled directly into the inside.

He wants to pick up the face he just lost!

His sudden attack was indeed a bit unexpected, but Yao Ming was very focused tonight and basically reacted in the next second and chased after him.

Just when Bogut thought he had gotten rid of the ball and was about to perform a flying dunk.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming seized the opportunity and blocked the ball from behind!

There was a burst of whistles and boos from the scene.

Bogut was dunked on and blocked at the start of the game, which made his presence much stronger than his presence on social media.

And when Bogut looked down on the Chinese team, how could the British people at the scene look down on him, the descendant of a criminal?

Bogut is a little bit over the top.

After Farkass had some luck, he actually turned his back to the basket and asked for the ball in the low post, preparing to play one-on-one against Yao Ming.

This time Dellavedova didn't pass the ball in.

Because of his unconventional personality, Bogut is not as respected as one might imagine in the Australian national team.

Otherwise, how come as the only No. 1 draft pick in Australian history and the best player in the NBA, the captain is not him but De'Aravandova?

This guy, when he gets stupid, will directly criticize his teammates on the national team on social media.

Australia played a tactical strategy, and Xu Yong seized the opportunity to push Mills' layup directly onto the backboard.

After grabbing the rebound, he threw the ball forward, and Sun Yue was already flying down the field.

"Sun Yue, dunk him!"

Then, accompanied by the familiar commentary of CCTV5 coach Zhang, Sun Yue performed a flying slam dunk in a fast break.

The Chinese team started with 5-0!

The venue was filled with the cheers of the fans.

Whether they are local British, Chinese, or fans from other countries, they all gave the Chinese team the warmest cheers at this time.

They expected this Chinese team to be strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong.

You should know that the Australian team is a stable team that will be in the top eight or even the top four of this tournament.

But a team of this level was crushed by the Chinese team at the start, and they are worthy of being considered the team with the greatest potential to bring down the Dream Team 10.

Soon, after the first quarter, the Chinese team defeated the Australian team 25 to 11 in a single quarter.

At this time, Xu Yong was sitting steadily on the bench resting.

To be honest, this Australian team is better than the one in the World Championships two years ago, especially since the Australian team two years ago did not have Bogut.

But who can blame Bogut for being so stupid? Not only he and Yao Ming saw the social media post, but other members of the Chinese team must have seen it as well.

You keep barking like a dog. Aren't I just trying to hit you?

At the start of the second quarter, the Chinese team continued to widen the score.

In addition to its high quality, this Chinese team also has the advantage of having ample space.

The FIBA ​​arena is small, which is actually very important.

The reason why European basketball is so powerful is that it has solid basic skills and everyone can shoot.

As for the Chinese team, the starting players Xu Yong, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue can all shoot.

As substitutes, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Zhizhi were better at shooting than the starters.

Therefore, Jeremy Lin feels particularly comfortable playing in this kind of team, and can fully display his strong breakthrough ability.

After more than four minutes of this quarter, both sides began to replace their main players one after another.

At this time, the score on the field was 36 to 18, which was already double the score difference and was about to reach 20 points.

With this kind of score difference, and obviously stronger than the opponent, generally speaking, you should play conservatively and win the game.

But the Chinese team obviously won't do that tonight.

Jeremy Lin went off the court to rest, and Xu Yong also started playing with the ball.

He called on Yao Ming to play pick-and-roll, and then quickly broke through Bogut.

Bogut's face turned green. Was there anyone on the Chinese team who came for him the whole night?

He tried hard to stop Xu Yong, but he soon found that he could not keep up with Xu Yong's pace.

He accelerated, made a sudden stop and turned around, shook off Bogut, and turned around to easily make a layup.

Xu Yong played a textbook mismatch attack.

Of course, the score difference was easily widened to 20 points.

The last time they met, the Chinese team won by about 20 points, but this time it was already 20 points before the end of the first half!

The Chinese team's bench was in an uproar, and Yao Ming was smiling and high-fiving Xu Yong while retreating.

The main purpose of today's game is to win, and Bogut must die.

Bogut still wants the ball, but Dellavedova is no longer willing to give it to him.

If Bogut hadn't deliberately caused trouble before the game, the Chinese team wouldn't have taken such a harsh approach.

Bogut has not experienced this, but he did experience that game two years ago.

When you can’t win in a basketball game or a fight, your best option is to finish the game honestly.

After all, you are not the main opponent of the Chinese team, so why are you trying to attract attention?

Bogut's breathing became heavier because he didn't get the ball. Suddenly his face turned pale and he felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

According to medical research, when people are angry, the brain is stimulated, which affects the secretion of gastric acid and the motility of the digestive tract, leading to indigestion and then abdominal pain. When people continue this process, the process will accelerate.

Of course Xu Yong didn’t know all this. He only saw Bogut asking for the ball but failing to get it, and his face turned pale. He felt that this was something he was happy to see.

Then after returning to the offensive end in the next round, he directly cooperated with Yao Ming.

It's still a pick-and-roll, but the ball is given to Yao Ming, who cuts in without the ball.

Before cutting into the three-second zone, he pointed to the sky, and after seeing Yao Ming throw the ball, he jumped into the air.

Bogut: France...

“Bang!”

Xu Yong knew that Bogut was a dirty player, so he used all his strength in the air and rode on Bogut to slam the ball into the basket!

After all, he was the one who dunked over Gasol in international competitions and over Thabeet in the NBA.

Bogut thus enjoyed a moment of humiliation.

Then he got angry.

Even a rabbit will bite when it is anxious, and Bogut will also jump over the wall when he is anxious!

After Xu Yong landed, he started to swear at Xu Yong.

However, before Xu Yong could make any move, someone rushed straight towards him.

And when that man rushed over, the other members of the Australian team all avoided him.

Just because that person is Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu squeezed directly between Xu Yong and Bogut, and soon, Bogut squatted down with his hands covering his abdomen and a painful expression.

No one could see clearly what happened.

Until the referee came and separated Zhu Fangyu and Bogut.

The game then entered a technical timeout.

Then a slow motion picture was shown at the scene.

Zhu Fangyu went up to Bogut and didn't stop spitting. After being sprayed in the face with saliva, he punched Bogut directly in the stomach.

At the World Championships two years ago, he threw the Japanese-style punch beautifully, but the price was a three-match ban, and he almost couldn't make it to the knockout round.

So this time he learned his lesson and aimed directly at Bogut's stomach, and immediately retreated to prepare for defense.

But who would have thought that Bogut, such a big guy, would not be able to take any beating at all.

You should know that the stomach is full of flesh and is one of the most resistant parts of the human body.

Bogut was on the bench at this time, gasping for breath.

When you have a stomachache and someone punches you in the stomach, the result will definitely not be a positive outcome but excruciating pain.

In fact, because he had eaten a lot before, he felt his stomach starting to churn.

He really felt like he was about to vomit.

But the coach said before the game that there was no toilet in the stadium, so he could only force the stuff that was filling up his throat down.

The referee's decision was also announced. Zhu Fangyu was given a flagrant foul and was ejected.

Although this action is not actually that big, in the international arena, the Chinese team cannot expect to gain any advantage from the penalty even if they are playing at home.

But what’s interesting is that when Zhu Fangyu was sent off, Deng Huadra whispered to him for a long time and tapped his shoulder twice, obviously approving of his actions.

After seeing Bogut's move, this fiery coach rushed to the technical table immediately.

The game continued and Bogut was temporarily sent off the court to rest for two minutes.

Then the Chinese team continued to widen the gap.

Although Bogut's performance tonight was not very good, his rim protection ability is still a level better than other Australian inside players.

There was no choice. When the score difference reached 25 points, the Australian team had to replace Bogut again.

Bogut took a deep breath before taking the court.

After sitting on the sidelines for two minutes, he thought he would feel better.

But who would have thought that although the vomit was suppressed by him, it seemed to be erupting from below.

Although this seems reasonable, after all, since you don't let me come out from above, I can only change the mouth.

So now he is paying tribute to Pierce and trying to contract his sphincter.

Moreover, he was not only cursing the Chinese team, but also criticizing the organizers. Which god came up with the idea of ​​not having a bathroom? He really wanted to press that man's mouth under his butt and let him taste his own yellow nectar.

Bogut was substituted in and the game continued.

Xu Yong's attention has always been on Bogut.

Then he found that Bogut had indeed become much more honest.

Just as I thought before, this kind of person is someone who deserves a beating.

Because the score difference was still widening, Xu Yong also walked around the court and then passed the ball to Jeremy Lin.

In China's offense, Jeremy Lin and Yao Ming continued to play pick-and-roll to break through Bogut.

This time he did not choose to jump shot, but instead made a low layup after passing Bogut.

His first step is indeed very fast, and it is almost impossible for Bogut to block his shot.

But at this moment, Bogut actually pressed his entire body weight onto Jeremy Lin from behind.

Jeremy Lin suddenly lost his balance in the air and fell out of the baseline.

Xu Yong was instantly furious. He thought that Zhu Fangyu's punch was enough to make this guy behave himself, but he didn't expect that Bogut didn't even remember the blow.

He immediately rushed to Bogut and greeted his ancestors.

Bogut was also angry and pushed Xu Yong hard.

After Xu Yong was pushed away, he directly replicated Zhu Ba's left hook that he had used two years ago.

“Bang!”

Bogut is not Garnett. Lacking the skills to fight, retreat and dodge, he was directly hit by Xu Yong's solid punch.

He was beaten so hard that his head shook, and then he performed a... ** for everyone present.

When the yellow juice flowed out from the trouser legs, time seemed to stand still.

Xu Yong never expected such a situation to happen, and he jumped away instantly.

When he smelled the stench, he was stunned.

It's this biological weapon again! And this scene is much more exaggerated than Pierce's original one!

Jeremy Lin originally felt a little pain from the fall, but when he saw the yellow juice, he instantly felt better. He turned over faster than ever before and ran away as fast as he could.

The Australian players were all shocked and jumped away like kangaroos. They no longer wanted this teammate.

The referee was stunned and forgot to blow the whistle.

I've been blowing the whistle all my life, but I've never seen such a scene!

In fact, not to mention the people on the field, even the fans at the scene were covering their mouths and about to vomit.

The game was forced to be interrupted and even the live broadcast was cut off.

This was a man-made accident not caused by the organizer.

Bogut, who was at the center of the accident, no longer had pain in his stomach after the accident, but his face did.

On the one hand, there was the punch that Xu Yong delivered, and on the other hand, there was this social death scene.

In fact, he didn't really mean to foul Jeremy Lin, he was just used to playing dirty.

It's like, even if you have a pet dog, it can't stop eating shit, right?

Then came Xu Yong's punch. He had been concentrating on contracting his sphincter, but Xu Yong's punch stunned him.

Looking at the "yellow field" he created around him, he really wanted to die.

How can he hold his head up on the court after this?

Even when the live broadcast was interrupted, fans on social media were going crazy.

Because of Bogut's pre-match shouting, this game was already attracting a lot of attention.

The violent beating on the scene before was also expected by the fans.

But before the director cut the screen, they could see clearly what was happening on the field.

"First, Pierce's shit was all over the NBA court, and now Australia's shit is all over the FIBA ​​court. This year's basketball game is full of flavor."

"Isn't Bogut a woman? How come he hit the top and got wet from the bottom?"

"We all know that dogs like to pee and poop anywhere."

“This is seriously the best game since the beginning of time.”

"Bogut's nickname used to be 'White Duncan'. I think this is an insult to TD. Why don't we call him 'Yellow Miracle'?"

…

It’s a pity that Xu Yong is still in the competition at this moment, otherwise he would have burst out laughing when seeing these comments.

Talents have always emerged in the comment section, and this year there are especially many talents.

Finally, after half an hour, the game was able to continue.

Xu Yong was also ejected for a flagrant foul.

But the situation of the game could not be changed. Although the Chinese team suffered a significant loss in strength without Xu Yong and Zhu Fangyu, the Australian team was so beaten up by Bogut that they had no fighting spirit at all.

The fans should be the happiest in the following games.

Because when they look at Bogut they think of the previous scenes, and they can't help but laugh when they think of the previous scenes.

There's really no going back now.

The Chinese team finally defeated the Australian team 90-68 in the opening match and got the first yellow card.

However, after the game, they also received penalties from FIBA.

Zhu Fangyu was suspended for one game and Xu Yong was suspended for three games.

Although beating someone up is fun, it also comes at a price.

This suspended game will have a significant impact on the men's basketball team's subsequent games.

So in the training session the next day, Xu Yong also solemnly apologized to the players for his impulsiveness.

After he finished his apology, Deng Huade came over and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of respect.

It is really hard to find a team leader who can charge and take responsibility.

"Don't worry, I will handle the group stage." Yao Ming also said affirmatively after Xu Yong came down.

Xu Yong nodded.

On the bright side, Australia is the second strongest team in the group after them, and the remaining opponents are relatively weaker, so it should not be a problem for the Chinese team to win.

However, he needs to be more restrained in the next games. It would be not worth it if he ruined Yao Ming's last dance because of a momentary impulse.

It was at this moment that he noticed someone was looking at him, and he turned around and saw it was Jeremy Lin.

After the training, Jeremy Lin came to Xu Yong's room alone.

"Thank you." As soon as they met, Jeremy Lin hugged Xu Yong and expressed his gratitude in Chinese.

Because he was born in the United States, he is considered a native American, and his acceptance of naturalization by the Chinese team was more out of considerations of interest.

That would not only help him get a lot of endorsements in China, but also allow him to use his performance in international competitions to increase his own popularity.

But when Xu Yong, the core of the team, stood up for him again and again, even directly committed malicious fouls against him and was suspended for it, it was really hard for him not to be touched.

"No need to do that. I would do the same if it were anyone else in the team." Xu Yong said calmly.

Jeremy Lin was stunned for a moment. His values ​​were shaped by his Taiwanese parents and the American environment. He didn't quite understand what Xu Yong said.

"I like this atmosphere, it makes us look like a real team." But he then spoke again.

Xu Yong smiled and didn't say much, but just reached out and patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder.

It is not easy to get a person to accept a new culture, but acceptance starts with contact. Jeremy Lin will slowly understand it in the future.

…

The Olympic process is still going on, and Xu Yong can only watch from the sidelines because he was banned.

In addition to insisting on training to maintain his condition, he also pays more attention to social media.

That night, he finished training and returned to his room to rest. When he took out his phone to check it, a pop-up message stunned him.

The Pacers and Heat reached a deal.

The Pacers first signed a four-year, $58.36 million contract with Hibbert, then packaged him with Danny Granger, plus a first-round draft pick, and traded for Odom and James from the Heat.

James, traded to the Pacers?

And it's Granger?!

When Xu Yong saw this transaction, he sat up directly from the bed where he was lying down.

There were rumors before that Riley wanted to trade James for Leonard and Chandler, but just like when he wanted to trade for Jordan, the Mavericks ignored him.

So he settled for the Pacers and got similar chips.

There is no need to say much about Hibbert. He is a dissident of Yao Ming. Without the vertical jump rule, he can be said to be the best center in the East besides Yao Ming and Howard.

Granger, as a 3D star, has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

If given the ball, he can also average 25 or 26 points per game, but his efficiency is not high. However, he is very good at defense and three-pointers, especially three-pointers. He is a stable shooter with a hit rate of nearly 40% after shooting six or seven times.

But in addition to his strengths, he can also do other things, such as breakthroughs, singles, ball handling, organization and so on.

This kind of player is most suitable to be the second or even third in command.

Moreover, he is also a typical team player.

It's a bit of black humor.

Because in history, the scene where James stepped on Granger was an absolute famous scene!

As a result, the two have now swapped clubs.

Besides, Granger should have been tripped by James in last season's playoffs, but he was not because of the different lineup.

This really feels like a cycle of cause and effect.

Then the first thought that popped into his mind was, why not George?

Although Paul George just finished his sophomore season last season, with Riley's vision, he should be able to see his potential.

But then he thought again and felt that Riley would not want George.

Because of Wade's physical condition, Riley must be very aware of it.

Especially since he had the experience of selecting Beasley and wasting Wade's peak, he probably won't do that again.

Coupled with the consecutive failures of the Big Three, he is eager to prove himself with a championship, so he will focus on short-term goals.

Then, just as he thought of this, more news popped up.

The Heat sent Stevenson back to the Mavericks in exchange for Corey Brewer, who had had few playing opportunities with the Mavericks.

Then, they signed Ray Allen to a three-year, $9 million, full mini-mid-level contract.

Riley has been saving up his ultimate move for a month, and the first move he uses is a combo!

The Heat's lineup for next season, Chalmers + Wade + Granger + Bosh + Hibbert, with Ray Allen and Brewer on the bench, is hard to say whether this lineup is stronger than the Heat team of this period, which is also the "dynasty" Heat team in 2K, but it is much more reasonable.

The Heat will be very difficult to deal with next season.

He just didn't quite understand the Pacers. Although last season was a failure, the current lineup with George, James and Boozer is not much more competitive in the Eastern Conference than before.

Larry Bird shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to make everyone happy, right?

Could it be that the Pacers have a backup plan?

…

James' room at the Dream Team Cruise Hotel in London.

James was shaking, his body was trembling.

"Bastard! Pat Riley, that bastard!!" he roared madly.

I don’t know how many layers of the ship’s planks this sound penetrated, and I guess the other teammates heard it.

Fu Paul, who came to London with him, was sitting opposite him. He should have reminded him, but at this time he said nothing.

Riley is really good at pretending to obey but actually disobeying.

Or to be more precise, they overestimated the bottom line of Riley, the old fox.

I thought Riley was a legendary figure after all, and he would definitely fulfill his promises.

But the fact is, verbal promises are bullshit. There were only three of them present at the time, and Riley refused to admit it, so there was nothing they could do.

James finally sat down on the edge of his bed, tried to hold on to a hand but realized that this was not his Miami throne, and nearly fell.

Indianapolis is a big city, and it is the capital of Indiana, so it is a big city.

But that place is similar to Washington, with a large population but a small basketball market.

Then there was a traitor there, his old "teammate" on the Cavaliers, Boozer, who was waiting for him.

And with this poor Pacers lineup, how can they compete for the championship next season?

He originally wanted to join a championship-contending team in a big city, or at least meet one of the conditions.

Now, Riley has sent him a team that is completely the opposite.

Even when he was about to say "I want to go to the West", Riley sent him to an Eastern Conference team.

This is no longer a question of decency, it's a matter of completely torturing him to death!

"King, I think the Pacers should still have a backup plan." After James' anger subsided a little, Rich Paul spoke up.

James looked at him coldly. He didn't like anyone right now.

"There's no reason for the Pacers to trade for you and then keep Boozer." Rich Paul is very smart. Boozer fooled the Cavaliers and also fooled James at the same time. There's no way the Pacers didn't know about this past.

James didn't say anything. The free market has already ended. Even if the Pacers still have a backup plan, who can they get?

Damn it, Riley deliberately dragged it out until now, and he was sure that he was not in the United States and could not do anything.

Damn this fortune teller, he’s just an old pervert!

"And we'll only be there for two years at most." Fu Paul saw James' reaction and continued.

James finally sighed helplessly.

Having said that, two years in Indiana is really no different than being in jail.

I just hope that Rich Paul's inference is correct.

And at this time, he can only regard going to Indiana as another boulder that he has to push.

Yes, what is important is not the result, but the process.

He averaged 30+8+8 in two seasons and wanted both the scoring title and MVP!
