On this day, Lao Wang only did recovery training and two systematic trainings. After the training ended at [-] pm, he had dinner at the base.
"Food is okay."
After looking at the dishes, he found that they were not as fussy as before, mainly beef and chicken, not much pork, so he nodded.
Liu Yumin also brought a plate, and said with a smile: "This year, the country's economy has improved a bit, and the appropriation from above has increased a bit.
But it was still not enough. I ran up and down to sponsor, and I drew some money from the CBA, and some of it was posted on the food. "
Gong Lumin said: "Originally we planned to go to the United States to play a few warm-up games, but later changed the plan. Our main opponent is not the US team, but a country that plays international basketball rules, so we arranged to play a few warm-up games in Europe last month. We played a total of five games, lost two games, and won three games. The effect is not bad."
"Is the opponent the national team?" Pharaoh asked casually.
Gong Lumin said awkwardly: "No, most of the players they send are from the second team."
Lao Wang was speechless. He lost two games against the second team. Is this still okay?Coach Gong, can you be more sincere?
A group of people chatted while eating, and they naturally talked about the Olympics and the Dream Team.
Gong Luming said: "According to American media reports, the members of the dream team include O'Neal, David Robinson, Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Barkley, Pippen, Grant Hill, Richmond, Reggie Miller, Anfernee Hardaway, John Stockton, Payton, and the head coach is Wilkens."
"I X, are they all here?"
Lao Wang opened his mouth wide. Can such a strong lineup survive?
Hu Weidong is talented and capable, and yearns for the NBA. At this time, he shouted: "Old K, tell us, what are these people so good about?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's just average. These guys are the core and bosses of each team. They must not accept anyone. They will do their own things on the field. We have a chance."
Everyone's face twitched. They are all the core and boss of the NBA team. Is this just so-so?
Lao Wang introduced: "Let's talk about O'Neal first. He is a waste outside the paint area. Don't worry about him. David Robinson, the efficiency is too low. The more he scores, the more the team loses. Olajuwon, don't look at him just won the championship and FMVP. He is old. If it weren't for my finger injury this time, he might have to continue hugging his thigh. Others..."
"Ahem! That Iron Army..."
Liu Yumin quickly interrupted Lao Wang's words, and let him continue, I am number one in the world, everyone will be fooled to death by him, and when the time comes, they will all be caught blind.
In the following time, Pharaoh began to practice with the national team to adapt to the rules of international basketball.He has played this before, but now he is just familiar with it, and the process is very fast.
As for the tactics used by the men's basketball team, the whirlwind fast break mentioned above is the main style of play of the men's basketball team in this era. It is very distinctive and invincible in Asia.
But now that Lao Wang has joined, when he is on the court, the tactics must be tilted towards him, reducing this kind of fast break and playing more positional warfare.
But his current speed is actually pretty good, even faster than Wang Zhizhi and even faster than Butt. He is the fastest among the three major centers. He also participated in some fast breaks when he was in the Suns, so now he will practice fast break tactics in the national team.
……
7月5日上午9点，NBA正式对外宣布96/97赛季的工资帽为2528万美元，比上赛季增加了近100万美元。
At the same time, this also means that the free market has officially opened after the transaction freeze period has passed.
Just after 9:[-] a.m., a flurry of free-agent signings took place and became public.
Olajuwon signed with the Lakers for 7000 million in five years.
Mutombo joined the Eagles for five years and 600 million.
With the signing of free agency, a series of trade applications were also handed over to Stern's desk.
He took a look, Ewing going to the Pacers?
Yes, anyway, the Magic don't know how to cherish. Ewing went to the Pacers, just to add a strong opponent to the Knicks and the Bulls, filling the vacancy of the Magic, so as to prevent Jordan and O'Neal from being too invincible in the East and affecting the balance.
Other transactions, nothing important, passed one by one.
Subsequently, a series of transactions occurred.
The Suns also got Kidd and Rasheed Wallace, as well as Kobe.
Ben Wallace knew about it a long time ago, and he was notified after the draft, and he and Wang Tiejun also talked on the phone, so there was no disappointment, so we packed our bags and moved.
After knowing that he was traded to the Suns, Kidd was very disappointed. He didn't expect that he didn't win the position of the boss. Now he was thrown to the Suns. How could he fight for the boss in the Suns?
Just preparing to fight for the boss in the Mavericks, and in a blink of an eye, he will be the substitute for Lightning. The contrast is too great, and he wants to hit the wall.
Alas, if I knew this earlier, what is the fight for the boss, isn't it good for the Big Three?What kind of women are you fighting for? Isn't it good for everyone to drive a car together?Everyone shares it, the more drivers there are, the less tiring they are.
After Rasheed Wallace heard the news, he was pleasantly surprised. He didn't have many chances in the Bullets. Now that he went to the Suns, he should have more chances, right?He also felt that he was very suitable for Old K.
Phoenix, Colangelo Jr. wrote the existing lineup on paper and began to calculate the space.
Centers: Tiejun Wang, Holt Reid Williams, Tisdale
Forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Robert Horry
Guards: Kevin Johnson, Kidd, Wilkins, Kobe, Rex Chapman
Rashid and Kidd were traded, and insider Holt Reid Williams and guard Rex Chapman were introduced from the free market. With Kobe added, there are now a total of ten contract players. Last season, several fringe players have been cleaned up.
Veteran Tisdale originally had a one-year contract of 348 million yuan, but there was not enough space, so he had to buy out his contract, and then signed it back with a basic salary of 25 yuan.
This is also the rule of the NBA. Those who buy out the contract can only sign the basic salary when they sign again.
Holt Reid Williams can play the fourth and fifth positions. He is 34 years old. The main center of the Cavaliers' rotation last season. , is stronger than the current Tisdale, and can become the first substitute for the fourth and fifth positions.
Rex Chapman, 29 years old, the No. 88 pick in the first round of 8, averaged 33.3 minutes per game for the Heat last season, 14 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 0.8 steals. He still has some strength and is still useful on the bench.
The main lineup he built is center Wang Tiejun, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Robert Horry, shooting guard Wilkins, and point guard Kevin Johnson.
With this main lineup, Horry has three points and can be opened.
Rashid also has a little three-pointer, with a 33% hit rate, but the long-range two-pointer is good, with a hit rate of 40.3%, and the two-pointer is even higher, reaching 45%. He also has a strong ability to pull away.
However, the ability to stretch the back line is insufficient, and neither Lightning nor Wilkins has three points.
Kobe will be the first substitute in the second position, focusing on training, strengthening the training of emergency stop jump shots, as well as the training of mid-range shots.
However, regarding the position of shooting guard, we need to discuss with Westphal in the new season to see if we should focus on cultivating Kobe in the regular season. Anyway, Wilkins does not match the old K, and Kobe's shooting is better. Put Kobe in the main position first.
In addition, it is still necessary to reinforce the small forward. There are substitutes in other positions, but there is no substitute in this position.
Insiders also need to find a marginal player to make up the number. There is no space, so they can only find players with a basic salary to make up the head.
He now has to calculate the salary space of these 10 people and how much is left, so that he can continue to introduce players, otherwise there is no way to sign people.
Old K, taking up $354 million of space, that's fixed.
Holt Redd Williams is 400 million, Rasheed Wallace is 206 million and Tisdale is 25.
Horry is on the last year of his contract, 170 million. Lightning just signed a new two-year contract, 700 million next season, and 800 million next season. Kidd is still a rookie contract, 441 million.
Wilkins 25, Rex Chapman also joined with a basic salary, 55 for two years, 25 next season.
The rookie contract that Kobe just signed, 3+1, the final year team option, the rookie season is 102 million US dollars.
"2448 million, the salary cap is 2528 million, and there is only 80 room left."
He is a little envious of the treatment of the Knicks and Los Angeles. He can use other methods to make up for the lack of contracts, but the Suns can't do it. Now they can only use the last 80 to sign three basic salaries.
Regarding Kobe's contract, he originally wanted to sign two more years, at least a six-year child labor contract, but Kobe and his agent did not agree.
Kobe and his agent thought very clearly, if the old K can stay healthy after four years, Kobe can't be the boss of the Suns, and he can't get a big contract.
……
In Los Angeles, Lakers general manager Jerry West is also calculating salary space.
Although the big dream was brought in, the five-year 7000 million contract also took up a lot of space.
Dameng's contract for next season is 1500 million, and there is only 1000 million space left. Therefore, before signing Dameng, he has cleared many marginal people before making room.
Anyway, next season is going to be bad. This job is not difficult, but the real difficulty is how to build a lineup that can hit the championship if Duncan is selected next year.
Such a lineup must not only have Dameng and Duncan, and other positions need reasonable configuration, which requires salary space.
Of course, this is the case when the number one lottery can be drawn. If he can't draw the lottery, he no longer believes in God.
The contract he estimated for Duncan, according to the standard of the insider No. 300 pick, is 1400 in the first season, plus the 1700 million of Big Dream, which is [-] million.
Fortunately, Eddie Jones' child labor contract is as long as 6 years, and there are still four years available. The 97/98 season is only 200 million, which is 1900 million.
Van Exel also has a two-year child labor contract, only 190 million.
These four main players have a total of 2090 million, and the salary cap should have some increase, so the space should be no problem.
In order to be successful, he now plans to release Campbell. Campbell's second contract has ended, and he is now a free agent. He has been waiting to renew his contract with the Lakers. There is no way, he can't sign it.
In fact, with the current lineup of the Lakers, joining Dameng is already very strong, and even has the strength to hit the championship, but he is not satisfied, because Dameng is old, who knows how long he can maintain his state?So he insisted on doing poorly next season.
Soon, after the Lakers notified Campbell's agent, Campbell's agent immediately announced that Campbell had entered the free market. If you are interested, please contact him immediately. If you are the one, you are the one.
……
"Damn Lakers! These damn big teams, damn league!"
Spurs, Popovich saw the Lakers give up Campbell, a 28-year-old center in his prime, and immediately cursed.
Campbell was the main center of the Lakers last season. He first traded Divac, and now he is giving up. What do the Lakers want to do?
A big dream that is getting old will definitely not be able to support the Lakers inside. He immediately understood what the Lakers were up to.
It's very clear, and it's already being implemented. It's the same as his idea. It's bad. For this reason, he did not hesitate to clean up two good centers.
This is what annoys him, the Lakers have big dreams, why are you pretending, aren't you planning to rob Duncan from me?
"Damn it, we're going to lose all the games we can lose next season. If anyone dares to win, I'll never end with him." He swore.
He dreamed of grabbing Duncan, imagining what David Robinson and Duncan would look like together was enough to make him drool, but now this dream is threatened.
……
"Campbell?"
The general manager of the Jazz, John Morris, saw Campbell enter the free market, his eyes lit up, and he immediately started to make a deal.
The Jazz has always been short of a good center. The main center Spencer's contract has ended and he has already left. The Jazz has no plan to renew his contract and plans to put Greg Ostertag on the main position.
But Greg doesn't have much talent either. He was the No. 28 pick in the first round of the Jazz last year. He wanted him to replace Spencer purely because he was young.
Although Campbell can't be called a first-rate center, he is definitely a second-rate center. Last season, he had 15 points and 8 rebounds, and he is not very young. He is two grades better than Greg and is worth having.
However, the space needs to be cleaned up. Campbell doesn’t have a multi-million-dollar annual salary, so don’t even think about signing him in. Better insiders are valuable. This requires clearing out several role players, and you can only sign a few more marginal players with a basic salary.
Soon, after making a decision, he began to contact Campbell's agent while cleaning up the contract.
In the end, Campbell joined the Jazz with a four-year contract of 3000 million US dollars. The contract for next season is 700 million US dollars, which is also the Jazz's first highest salary. John Stockton is only 600 million.
With his joining, the Jazz got a second-rate center and also strengthened the worst fifth position. The entire lineup is much stronger than last season, and they officially have the confidence to hit the championship.
……
In Houston, Barkley signed a two-year contract with Mosaic. His popularity has always been good, and he sold more tickets than Dameng. Dameng ran away, so the team didn't want him to run away again. 1800 million for two years is not bad.
The owner of Mosaic, Alexander, has no idea of winning the championship at all. This championship was forced out by Dameng. Now that Dameng has run away, he only wants to rely on Barkley and the glider to sell tickets.
As for Barkley, now that he has two championships in his hands, he is in a state of wanting nothing. He no longer wants to work hard, but wants to play health balls. After completing the two-year contract, he will retire and become a commentator. This has been planned a long time ago.
……
On July 7th, in the capital, the atmosphere of the Olympic Games was already very strong. It was either intense or intense preparations. The training bases of various sports were hung with long Olympic banners, urging the athletes to make final preparations.
The men's basketball team achieved the best result in the 84 Los Angeles Olympics, No.10, and then ranked 88th in the 11 Seoul Olympics. The last 92th Barcelona Olympics in 12 was worse than the previous one. Fortunately, it won No.94 in the 8 World Championships, which can be regarded as a recovery, but the Olympic results really need to be improved.
This time, the Sports Commission issued a target to the basketball department. To make a breakthrough, to be in the top eight in the Olympics, that is to say, one must break out of the group stage and enter the knockout round.
This is the lowest goal, but the sports committee does not dare to set a higher goal. Although Wang Tiejun is recruited, one person's strength is always limited. The men's basketball team is drawn in the death group, and it is not easy to break out of the group stage.
On the 13th, Da Ya Er Ya's TOEFL test scores came out, excellent, and passed the language test for studying abroad.
This time, the two sisters wanted to go to the same university, and applied to many American universities, including Stanford University, MIT, Harvard, and Princeton. Whichever university admitted them at the same time, they could go to that one.
As for whether they can be admitted, the two sisters are not worried at all. After three years of university life, they have no worries about food and clothing. Under the circumstances of a superior family, they have devoted themselves to studying, and their talents in learning have fully exploded, giving them full self-confidence.
In addition, they also completed their credits ahead of schedule, and obtained graduation certificates and degree certificates from Tsinghua University and Jiaotong University, and each of them received three degree certificates.
On the 15th, the men's basketball team set off for the Atlanta Olympics and set off for the United States.
Of course, there are also national teams of many sports, basketball team, table tennis team, diving team, weightlifting team and so on.
The basketball team is all big guys, so it was a bit slow to get on the plane. When they got on, the other teams had already sat down and were waiting for them.
"It's a lot of pressure, it's all our country's dream team."
As soon as Lao Wang entered the cabin with his head down, he felt the pressure when he saw the table tennis team, diving team, and weightlifting team, because at a glance, he saw at least five Olympic champions.
"Liu Chu, why don't we change the plane, we feel very humble sitting with these champions." He shouted to Liu Yumin in front of him.
"Puchi, haha..." The cabin burst into laughter.
"hurry up."
Liu Yumin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and repeatedly called the team members to move forward. They were big, and they were arranged in the front, that is, the business class of the airliner. Wang Tiejun and other insiders were arranged in the first class, with a more spacious seat.
"Hi everyone, I'm Wang Tiejun, a rookie in the Olympics. You can call me Old Wang, or Old K. Please take care of me in the future." Lao Wang greeted the other team members as he walked forward.
Liu Yueban from the men's table tennis team yelled, "Old K, you've been living in the United States, and you've gone over there. Please take care of me!"
"You greet me if you have something to do."
"Yes, you are a half-landlord over there, how do you plan to entertain us?" Fu Minxia from the diving team stood up and leaned on the back of her chair and asked with a smile.
"I didn't say anything, Miss Fu, I'll treat you how you want me to treat you."
"Old K, how about asking you to exchange some dollars, we want to buy something to bring back to China, and foreign exchange is not enough." Zhan Shugang from the weightlifting team asked with a smile.
"Small things, the dollar is enough."
"What did you say? There are hundreds of people in our Olympic team." Deng Yaping shouted.
"Who is talking? Who? You stand up so I can see?" Old Wang looked around.
"Old K, don't go too far and bully us short." Deng Yaping, who had been standing all the time, laughed.
"Haha..." There was another big laugh in the cabin.
Lao Wang greeted Deng Yaping with a smile, and said to everyone: "Everyone who wants to exchange dollars, just look for me when you get off the plane. There are hundreds of Olympic delegation members, and no one will exchange. The official exchange rate is guaranteed."
"Oh, great!"
There was an immediate cheer in the cabin.
In fact, the domestic foreign exchange situation has improved in the past two years. In 92, it was less than 200 billion. In 94, it reached 500 billion. Last year, it was 700 billion. This year, the situation is even better. However, the country is too big, so the foreign exchange control is still very strict. If you go abroad, the amount you can exchange is not much. Olympic athletes have at most [-] U.S. dollars in their pockets.
When he said this, not only the athletes, but also the coaches and managers were all moved.
