I'm a ball devil

Chapter 196 You don't want to choose Ross, do you?

After the match between the Huaxia team and the Australian team, Sun Doudou interviewed Bogut.

Sun Doudou: "As far as I know, this is your second visit to China. Can you talk about your impression of China and its fans?"

Bogut: "Oh, the fans here are very enthusiastic. I am very happy to be here again. There is still some time before the Olympics. We can take this opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the environment in China and prepare for the Olympics."

Sun Doudou: "I remember when you were interviewed by the media before, you mentioned that the goal of your team in the Olympics is to win medals. After the battle with the Huaxia team, has your view on this goal changed?"

Bogut: "Well, our goal has not changed. The Huaxia team is very strong. They beat us in the Diamond Cup. This is something we did not expect. But this is just a warm-up match. It will change the pace of our progress and the goals of the Olympics."

Sun Doudou: "You guys just played against the Huaxia team. What do you think of them? What kind of team do you think they are?"

Bogut pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Well, they beat us. They have a big man like Yao on the inside, and Ye Hao can score sharply on the outside. They are stronger than we imagined. But this is just A warm-up match. If we can meet in the Olympics, we will definitely deal with it."

Sun Doudou: "Can you talk about your teammates, Ah Lian? Oh, to be precise, it should be a former teammate. He was traded to the New Jersey Nets with Bobby Simmons in exchange for Richard of the Nets. - Jefferson. What do you think of the deal?"

Bogut: "I just learned that this deal happened. First of all, I would like to wish Yi and hope that he will have a better development in the new team. He is a very good person and has great strength on the court. I feel very happy to play with him as a partner. This time I came to Huaxia, if I have a chance, I will go back and catch him and treat me to dinner. Hahaha... But we all have to practice and play, and I don’t know when we will be able to See you in space. Speaking of this deal, I think Richard Jefferson will be a good addition to our team. He has a strong scoring ability. I look forward to playing with him. He can help Us, it's a great deal. I'm very happy that it's done."

Sun Doudou nodded, and asked the last question of this interview, "Can you tell us about how you were dunked by Ye Hao in the game just now?"

Bogut, who had a good conversation at first, suddenly turned pale when he heard Sun Doudou's question.

He stood up straight away and said without looking back, "Sorry, the interview is over!"

Sun Doudou stroked his chin and watched Bogut leave.

Soon he sent back an interview report to Penguin Sports. The title of the report was, "Ye Hao's brutal dunking, becoming Bogut's demon, smell it and leave!"

………………

After the Huaxia team defeated the Australian team, they ranked first in Group A with a record of all victories in the group. They will compete with the No.1 Argentina team in Group B for the Diamond Cup championship.

The Argentine team was the last Olympic champion, with Manu Ginobili, Scola, Oberto, Nocioni, Prigioni and other NBA players in the team, the strength is very strong.

This group of people is known as the "Golden Generation" of Argentina, and they had a brilliant record of overthrowing the American Dream Team twice.

There is no doubt that in this year's Olympic Games, they are also aiming at the goal of competing for gold and silver.

So far, even if the Huaxia team loses the game against Argentina, they can still win the second place in the Diamond Cup. This is already the best record since the Huaxia team participated in the Diamond Cup.

Although this is more of a warm-up game, it is a good opportunity for Huaxia to compete with a world-class team like Argentina before the Olympics to test the team's strength and continue to polish the team's tacit understanding. Chance.

Before the game, the most gossip in the team was the deal between the Bucks and the Nets.

As one of the protagonists being traded, this deal will undoubtedly make him happy.

Yes, he was happy, after the agent called him and said he was traded to the New Jersey Nets.

In the 2007 draft, after he was drafted by the Bucks, their team wanted to be tough, because they would not report to the team, and they did not want to play for the Bucks. They wanted the Bucks to compromise. , thus trading him out.

Their team wants him to play for a team with a wider market and more exposure.

Now that the deal happened, they got what they wanted.

New Jersey, which is close to New York, is a much wider market than Milwaukee, and the team has more exposure.

Moreover, the Nets sent away Kidd and Jefferson successively, and may trade Carter in the future. It is a team that intends to undergo a complete reconstruction. The Arab League went as a young player, and there is still a great chance of being reused. .

According to some rumors, the president of the Nets Rod Thorn and the new general manager Kiki Vandeweghe have always been followers of the United Arab Emirates, and they both admire the 7-foot power forward from China very much.

They even regarded the United Arab Emirates as the second Dirk Nowitzki.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, in short, most people think that the UAE will be the winner of this deal.

Apparently he thought the same thing, and he was smiling when he came to practice.

In the afternoon, he also took the initiative to go to the supermarket near the training hall to buy drinks and food for everyone.

His teammates are also happy for him.

Only Ye Hao, who knew that the future of the UAE's NBA road is not easy, sighed silently in his heart.

In this regard, he can't do anything, although he very much hopes that the UAE can remain healthy in the future and have a very good NBA career.

But the road is always to be walked by oneself.

No one can be supported on the road.

I can only hope that the UAE can learn something during this national team training, and is willing to settle down to polish his inside skills and rich offensive methods.

This direction is consistent with what the national team needs him to undertake now.

So whether it is for the good of the Olympic Games or for his future career development, he should do this.

What Ye Hao can do is to motivate him in the team and let him take the initiative to improve.

Of course, for other teammates in the formation, what Ye Hao has to do is the same.

Take on the responsibility of being a team captain both in training and in games.

Cough, I am the captain of the Huaxia team!
In addition to the New Jersey deal, there was heated discussion about the draft.

The 2008 NBA Draft will be held tomorrow.

Apart from the Olympics, this is the most concerned thing in the world of basketball at the moment.

Who each team will choose in the end, this is the most appetizing.

Many people in the Huaxia team asked Dayao who the Mosaic team planned to choose, and if they could disclose some information.

He would also ask Ye Hao, the Thunder has so many draft picks in hand, will they make a trade in the draft, or will they package and trade after the draft?

Of course, there will also be people who are concerned about which rookie the new owner of the UAE, the Nets, and the Lakers with Dasheng will pick.

The later the draft pick, the harder it is to guess.

The easiest to guess is the top three, top five, or even top ten.

It's just that every year in the draft, there will always be some teams' choices that are beyond everyone's expectations, and even shocking.

Parallel players such as Thabeet and Bennett in the future are examples.

What made Ye Hao a little curious was whether his time travel would change the fate of Thabeet and Bennett?
If they weren't the No. [-] pick, or the No. [-] pick, and didn't have to carry huge expectations that can make people breathless, maybe they could play better after entering the league?
Who knows?

He can't see through this future, when he is in it.

Now what he secretly expects in his heart is whether the team can successfully select the few rookie candidates that he gave to the team's general manager Presti before returning to China.

If all goes well, next season...

While he was thinking about it, Dayao came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Haozi, what are you thinking about? For this match in Argentina, should we let go and fight hard? Argentina is a very good piece." touchstone."

Dayao spoke in a tone of discussion with him.

In the days since he joined the national team, his performance has been fully recognized by everyone in the team, and they all recognize him as a competent national team captain.

The old players of the national team, such as Dazhi, Li Nan and Dayao, also agree with Ye Hao very much and are willing to listen to his opinions.

In fact, this is not easy to do. This year's national team members are composed of three generations of old, middle-aged and young players.

Ye Hao is undoubtedly the most junior in the team. To let the big brothers of the team listen to him, he needs to have enough performance, whether it is in training or in the game.

This is not to say that Ye Hao is the title of scoring champion in the NBA season.

No matter how many honors you have, even if you are the strongest scorer in the team as soon as you join the team, you may not be able to become the captain and team leader of a team.

Such examples abound in the NBA, like Marbury who is said to be a "lone wolf", Martin of the Kings in the future, Love of the Timberwolves...

People don't think they are a good team leader.

Ye Hao came back to his senses, and after thinking for a while, he said to Dayao: "I think we can have fun, it's rare to meet such a strong player as the Argentine team.

But I think we should focus on polishing our weak links through tactical drills.

On this basis, we can spell it out a little bit.

After all, it's not the Olympics, it's just a warm-up match. There's no need to fight so hard. If there are any injuries, it's not good.

Brother Yao, what do you think? "

Dayao smiled and nodded, "My thoughts are the same, we are heroes and we see the same thing."

"By the way, Brother Yao, I think it's good for you to warm up and find your condition. After all, your leg is injured..."

Dayao waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll take care of it. You have to finish the Olympics in good health."

"I can rest assured that."

"By the way, who is your team going to pick? Tell me all about it." Dayao asked gossip.

Ye Hao smiled lightly and shook his head, "Brother Yao, you are also curious about this! What kind of players do you think our team lacks the most?"

Dayao thought for a while and said, "Except for the 2nd and 3rd positions, the other three positions are quite lacking. Thinking about it this way, you are really awesome, and you can bring the team to the Western Conference Finals."

"Then which position is the most lacking?"

Dayao rubbed his forehead, "Position 1?"

Ye Hao nodded.

"So you guys are really going to trade the draft pick up for Westbrook?"

Ye Hao smiled without saying a word.

Dayao stared, "Could it be that you are thinking bigger, making a big deal, trading the top three picks, and choosing Derrick Rose?"

Ye Hao shook his head, "I can't deny that these are all possible things to happen. But everything will have to wait until the draft meeting to know the result. There must be more than one set or two sets of plans."

Dayao nodded again and again. From Ye Hao's reaction, he thought he had guessed the Thunder team's next operation direction, "Well, that's true. But in this way, there is not much conflict with our choice Yes. Several of your draft picks are relatively close to ours."

"The draft is like a big wave of gold rush. It's hard to say whether it's right or wrong. Let's discuss the game against Argentina."

"it is good!"

………………

………………

The battle for the championship and runner-up of the Diamond Cup is about to begin.

The starting lineup sent by the Argentine team is: point guard Prigioni, shooting guard Ginobili, small forward Nocioni, power forward Luis Scola, center Oberto.

The Huaxia team's starting lineup is: point guard Liu Wei, shooting guard Ye Hao, small forward Zhu Fangyu, power forward Ah Lian, and center Dayao.

At the beginning of the game, Ye Hao singled out Manu Ginobili on the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Speaking of which, the two of them still have a bit of grievances in the NBA.

Not long ago, it was Ye Hao who led the team to eliminate Ginobili's Spurs, extinguishing the Spurs' dream of consecutive championships.

Oh, and now Argentina's starting center, Oberto, is also a Spurs player.

This mosaic old man really likes to use international players.

What French sports car, Argentine monster knife...

They were all bluffing, but they were all killed by Ye Hao in the playoffs.

Now that they met in the international arena, Ginobili and Oberto undoubtedly want to avenge each other.

In the international arena, they played more easily, and they are confident that they can find their way back in China.

It's just that Huaxia is Ye Hao's doorstep after all.

How can it be so easy to take advantage of others?

Although Ye Hao said to Dayao that this game is mainly to sharpen the team and not to get injured.

But he came on the court in the state of a ball monster, and the ball monster has always been playing for real.

At the beginning, Ginobili made three consecutive breakthroughs, plus a Yan shot three-pointer.

This made Ginobili a little embarrassed.

Now he holds the ball on the outside, raises his hand to find Oberto to come over to set a screen, and he's going to attack one.
