Chapter 336 The essence of human movies is going to the sun and hugging your thighs
"Dayao, how do your shoes feel?"
Over at the summer camp, Zhu Fangyu looked enviously at the sneakers under Yao Min's feet and asked.
Yao Min's feet are too big, and he wears the K series. Now he has reached the third generation of K, and the fourth generation of K is about to come out.
However, Mammoth has not invested enough in research and development funds. In fact, there has been no major technological progress in these generations of sneakers, which are just some minor adjustments, and some of them lag behind big brands such as Nike and Converse.
Fortunately, the sales of his brand shoes have exploded in the United States recently, making Mammoth a lot of money. The operating capital situation has improved. In order to retain him, Mammoth has announced that it will increase investment in research and development. There are still opportunities.
Catch up.
Dayao jumped excitedly and said happily: "Okay, they are much better than the shoes I wore before. These are the best basketball shoes I have ever worn."
"It will be great when I can wear Lao K's shoes." Zhu Fangyu said enviously.
"Just wait until you are as tall as me." Dayao chuckled.
Zhu Fangyu was so angry that he rolled up his eyes and glared at Dayao, "You are such a fool, picking up old K's old shoes and wearing them, what's so proud about you?"
Dayao is really wearing old shoes worn by Lao Wang, because these shoes are Mammoth's exclusive shoes for his competition and training, and cannot be used by others.
However, he changed them every day, and the wear on these shoes was not great, and they looked almost like new ones.
Two days later in the afternoon, the men's basketball team arranged an intra-team training match.
This was Wang Tiejun's first time participating in a team training match. The women's basketball team immediately came over to watch, and the 101 children also arranged for them to come over and watch.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A few minutes later, there was silence in the training hall, only the sound of heavy breathing.
This was the first time for Liu Yumin to see Wang Tiejun play in person. In just a few minutes, she was greatly shocked.
There was no way he could stop him, let alone his small body. Even if he tried to get the big-bodied Battle up, he would be knocked over one after another.
After only playing half a quarter, the two big insiders of the national team no longer dared to stand behind Wang Tiejun, and their expressions changed as they looked at him.
With no one daring to defend, Wang Tiejun was able to do whatever he wanted under the basket. Needless to say, there was no need to continue the training match anyway.
She was aware of Da Zhi's talent and also knew that Battelle was very powerful, but she never thought that these two centers that she was very optimistic about would have no power to compete under Wang Tiejun.
At this time, she truly understood why Wang Tiejun was able to succeed in the NBA where there are so many strong people.
She also truly understood why Wang Tiejun was able to get the most expensive contract in the NBA and why Americans were willing to give him so much money.
To be honest, when the news reached China, she didn't believe it at all, no, she couldn't believe it.
Nearly 200 million US dollars in seven years, what is the concept? With her current income, she will have to work for tens of thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years, human history is not that long.
In the end, this training match only lasted half a quarter and ended hastily.
After playing for half a quarter, Wang Tiejun had a little sweat on his forehead. The level of confrontation between the national team and the national team was gentle to him. His two opponents were too gentle to him.
"Tie Jun, what do you think?"
Jiang Xinquan, Liu Yumin, and Gong Lumin came over and asked.
Lao Wang pondered for a moment. He didn't want to mention the confrontation. After all, this is not the NBA. International competitions have the rules of international competitions. He first asked: "Our current basic tactics are based on the outside, right?"
Gong Lumin nodded: "Since the end of Mu Tiezhu's era, we haven't produced any good centers in recent years. The outside line is pretty good now. It is true that the outside line is the main force."
Jiang Xinquan said: "Now that you are here, it is time to make changes."
Wang Tiejun nodded without any intention of being polite.
If he joins the national team, if the men's basketball team still focuses on the perimeter and not him, then what's the point of him joining the national team?
He looked back at Da Zhi, a rising star in the national team who was only 18 years old. His eyes were full of fear and hesitation as he looked at him. When he met his eyes, he immediately looked away.
He glanced at Battle next to him again, his eyes were also anxious and he did not dare to look directly at him.
"This is the NBA, is this the old K?"
He was so disappointed. He was confident in his own talent. He had never met a center in China who was more talented than him, but this half of the game completely destroyed his confidence.
He even thought about playing in the NBA in the future, but now, this idea has disappeared.
"Da Zhi, what are you thinking about?" Wang Tiejun's voice sounded at this time.
"Oh, oh, no, I didn't think about anything. Brother Tiejun, I didn't think about anything." Da Zhi hurriedly replied.
Lao Wang frowned and said, "Are you lying to me?"
"Really not." Da Zhi said anxiously.
Liu Yumin and Jiang Xinquan regretted that they should not have arranged this training match. Seeing this, the confidence of Da Zhi and Battelle was directly shattered. If they cannot come back in the future, it will be ruined.
At this time Wang Tiejun said: "You and Battelle, you can't stop me, does it hurt you? Let me tell you, in the NBA, no one can really stop me, so it is normal that you can't stop me.
There is nothing to be discouraged about.”
Da Zhi and Battle were startled, then thought about it carefully, yes, isn't it normal that I can't stop Brother Tie Jun?
As soon as they thought about it, their frustration disappeared and their self-confidence began to return.
When Liu Yumin and others saw the appearance of the two of them, they breathed a sigh of relief. The person who untied the bell must tie the bell. This was true.
After training that day, Lao Wang found Liu Yumin, Jiang Xinquan, Gong Lumin, Zhang Lili and other coaches and said, "Liu Chu, do you know my K-Martial Arts Gym?"
"Know."
Everyone who pays attention to Wang Tiejun knows that the K-Martial Arts gym he founded is very popular in the United States.
Lao Wang said to Liu Yu Minzang: "Liu Chu, do you want to arrange medicated oil massage and medicated bath for the national team? Two hours of medicated bath and massage after training every day will have some improvement effects on physical fitness and resistance to injuries.
.”
Liu Yumin said in embarrassment: "Tie Jun, I have also heard about your medicated bath and medicated oil. Lao Zhang has mentioned it to me many times..."
At this time, Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "The effect is there and can be used for long-term maintenance."
Liu Yumin asked again: "Is this the cost?"
She had heard Zhang Lili mentioned that the fees for the project were so expensive that ordinary NBA players could not afford it. Only players with an annual salary of at least two million could afford it. Wang Tiejun wanted to arrange these two services for the national team.
How dare she agree?
Nowadays, members of the national team only get a meager salary. The CBA has not started yet, and even if it does, the salary will not be very high, and it is absolutely unaffordable.
At this time Wang Tiejun said: "Don't worry, Liu Chu, China is not as good as the United States. The price of medicinal materials in the United States is ten times that of China, and the labor is more expensive, so the price is high.
Domestically, I don’t plan to promote it at the moment. As long as the national team uses it for them, the price is based on the cost of medicinal bath. The cost of the medicinal materials, plus the domestic labor cost, the price is not high, and you can’t spend much at a time.
money.
For medicated oil massage, the labor cost is slightly higher, but it is still very high. If the office does not have funds, you can apply for it from above."
When Liu Yumin heard what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief. The other half was still stuck in his throat, because no matter how cheap it is, if he needs to use it every day, it is still a huge expense. The office must not have the money, and it will be difficult to apply to the Secretary.
It's also very big.
"Let's do this. I'll report it to Si Li and then we'll talk about it," she finally said.
Lao Wang nodded. He didn't plan to make money from the national team, but the cost still had to be calculated.
Whether he is in the national team or the Suns, he will not give these things to his teammates for free, because there is a truth, if you give more, people will think you are good at first, and as time goes by,
It will become a habit over time, and if you don't give it when the time comes, it will become a hatred.
After the national team left, Wang Tiejun returned to his home next door. His family members were all in his hometown, and Yu Feihong hadn't come over yet. He was sitting there alone in a daze. Suddenly he remembered what happened to the national team just now, and then thought of a question, right?
If he collects more prescriptions, he might gain something. He has the profession of an alchemist in the system.
He immediately called his hometown and asked his father to answer the phone and said, "Dad, please help me send a message to my hometown. I want to collect some more prescriptions."
"Want a prescription again? OK, what kind of prescription do you want?"
Wang Aiguo didn't say anything this time. His son got some prescriptions, opened a martial arts gym, and brought hundreds of young men from his hometown to the United States. This was a great benefit to the local area. Now he is in his hometown, wherever he goes.
They are all respected, who wouldn’t want to curry favor with him?
"Well, there are all kinds of secret recipes. Anyway, as long as they are genuine and have inherited recipes, you can collect them. What's the price? It's up to 100,000." Wang Tiejun said.
"One hundred thousand? OK."
Wang Aiguo nodded and said, "I'll just make a few phone calls. I've kept the phone numbers of the martial arts schools that used to sell prescriptions, and I'll just ask them to leave a message."
I'm not afraid of them making fakes. If they have any prescriptions in their hands, as long as they are passed down from their ancestors, the martial arts circle will know about them. By the way, there are also those traditional Chinese medicine families who have inherited any medicinal recipes that they are willing to sell.
Can."
…
A week has passed and Wang Tiejun has integrated into the men's basketball team's tactical system. No, it should be said that the men's basketball team has integrated into his tactical system.
Because of his joining, old coach Jiang Xinquan and new head coach Gong Lumin changed the men's basketball tactical system without hesitation, and assistant coach Zhang Lili raised his hands and feet to support.
Because in this era, the men's basketball team is very strong on the outside and relatively weak on the inside, so the outside tactics are mainly used, with the inside teaming up with the outside.
Although Da Zhi performed well, after all, he was too young and had not fully grown up, so he could not support the inside of the national team.
Moreover, his style of play often involves pulling out for jump shots, which is a bit outside.
But the addition of Wang Tiejun, a low-post killer, directly changed the national team's basic tactics from outside tactics to mainly inside tactics.
No one dares to doubt it, not a single one from the coaching staff to the players.
…
Phoenix and Colangelo Jr. are racking their brains to make trades and reinforcements.
Next season the Suns will not fail, nor will they wait for the opportunity to rebuild. Instead, they will strive to defend the title. Even if they cannot defend the title, they still need to make their best efforts. Neither the market nor Old K will tolerate the Suns.
The team is slack, so the lineup he wants to build must not only have potential, but also have immediate combat effectiveness. He must not only cultivate rookies next season, but also strive for a good record.
This kind of requirement to meet both aspects puts great pressure on him as a newly appointed general manager.
He took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the current lineup on it.
Insider: Wang Tiejun, Waiman Tisdale.
Forward: Robert Horry, Mario Bennett
Outside: Kevin Johnson, Elliott Perry (point guard), Michael Finley, Wesley Person (shooting guard)
After working hard for several days, there are still eight people. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but that few teams are willing to trade the players he likes to the Suns. This is true for the hateful Western Conference teams, and the same is true for the despicable Eastern Conference teams.
Sweeping the championship in four rounds has put too much pressure on other teams. Now in the entire league, the Suns are even more threatening than the Bulls. No one wants to see the Suns rebuild, and no one wants them to successfully strengthen.
No team wants to see them successfully defend their title, and no team owner wants to see the Suns become the next giant.
Moreover, he doesn't have any good bargaining chips in his hands. The draft picks acquired through trade cannot be used as bargaining chips. He can only trade with existing players.
Among these players, namely veteran Tisdale, rookie Mario Bente, plus marginal player Perry, and last year's rookie Person, these four can be used for trade, with very few chips and little value.
Gao, I don't blame those teams for refusing to trade with him.
Now the Suns are stuck in two dilemmas. First, the team is seriously short of players but has no chips to make trades. Second, other teams do not want to trade with the Suns.
Glider left the team for free, Green and Dan Marley exchanged draft picks, and none of the three main players were exchanged. This is an important reason for the Suns' current predicament.
But there is no solution, and this solution is the free market.
In this year's free market, in addition to one big fish, there are also some small fish and shrimps. It depends on how attractive the Suns are.
…
At this time, Dominic Wilkins, who had finished his one-year contract with the Celtics, was on vacation at home.
He refused the green team's contract extension because the contract given to him by the green team was not satisfactory to him, and the green team did not give him the tactical status he should have and did not respect him enough. Besides, he is completely invisible to the green team now.
A chance to win.
He regretted signing with the Celtics last year. If it had been two days later, he would have waited for the invitation from the Suns. With his strength, he would definitely be able to replace Dan Malley as the main shooting guard, so now he has completed it.
The dream of a championship.
He was very envious of Drexler, the glider. That boy had much better luck than him. When he thought of the glider, he felt regretful again.
He has a good relationship with Drexler. The two of them are in the same position as Jordan. They are both super dunkers and top scorers. The three great flyers were in the same era, and then both of them were suppressed by Jordan.
I can't stand up, and I feel like we share the same problem, so we have a good relationship.
It's a pity that the glider guy is so lucky now, he hugged Old K's lap, actually swept Jordan, completed the unprecedented championship, and has washed away the previous shame.
We obviously agreed to be Jordan's cannon fodder together, but in the end you went to the Suns and swept Jordan. How can this make me feel so embarrassed?
"well!"
He couldn't help sighing. He had a chance to hug that thick leg!
"Dominique, you have been sighing a lot these days, which team are you going to join next season?" At this time, his wife Mrs. Nivedda asked.
"Get ready...go to Europe, I don't want to stay in the NBA anymore." Wilkins sighed.
Mrs. Niveda clearly sensed the reluctance in her husband's words. She did not want to go to Europe with him. It was a place where you could travel, but you were not used to living there for a long time. The streets were full of the smell of urine.
After thinking about it, she persuaded: "You have always regretted not joining the Suns. I heard that the Suns are seriously short of players and have left several main players. Why don't you ask your agent to contact the Suns?"
Wilkins shook his head and said: "The Suns lineup is no longer good. Glider is gone, Thunder and Green are gone. There is no hope of defending the title next season."
Mrs. Niveda felt that her husband's brain was broken, and she said angrily: "That's better than going to Europe. Can you win the NBA championship in Europe?"
Wilkins was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Mrs. Niveda advised again: "You can still maintain your current status, and Old K is so young. The Suns also have several first-round picks for next year. If they are lucky enough to select a promising rookie, they can only pick two or three at most."
You can return to the championship ranks in just one season, why don't you give it a try?"
"They have at least four first-round picks for next year, right?"
Wilkins did the math and found out that the Suns really have four first-round picks next year. Damn, although the possibility of getting Le Show's pick is not very high, with four first-round picks, no matter what, you can get one.
A good potential rookie, right?
He is 35 years old. He was not taken seriously in the Green Team last season. His playing time was reduced and his shots were reduced. He only averaged 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. In this way, he is still the scoring leader of the Green Team.
But his physical constitution is the same as Jordan's, very strong, and he can barely maintain his condition. He still maintains it very well. I feel that he can maintain a good condition in the next one or two seasons.
Under the persuasion of his wife, he really started to think about the Suns and was ready to bet on the end of his career.
As Niveda said, you can't win the NBA championship by going to Europe, but it is possible by going to the Suns.
After receiving a call from Wilkins' agent, Colangelo expressed his delight that this was the big fish he was planning to contact.
He immediately invited Wilkins to visit Phoenix so that everyone could discuss some issues in person, and Wilkins readily agreed.
