Crowds of people!

This idiom is the most appropriate to describe Germany today in one word.

Even though the World Cup has reached the semi-final stage, most countries have already returned home, and the whole of Germany is still "overcrowded".

The streets and alleys of Dortmund are occupied by fans of the host German team, and occasionally some fans wearing Italian team uniforms can be seen. The semi-final between the two teams will start tomorrow night.

Fans were singing all over the street, and there were some football hooligans fighting from time to time. This scene made Wang Lifan, a fake foreign girl who grew up in the United States, a little uncomfortable.

Although American sports are well-developed, fans have more of an appreciation and entertainment attitude towards the game, unlike European sports, which endow competition in various aspects such as religion, region, culture, belief and even race.Ridiculous, cursing, fisting and kicking and even picking up wine bottles are commonplace.

In the Los Angeles Derby, it’s okay for Lakers fans to sit among Clippers fans; in the Rome derby, it’s no exaggeration for Roma fans to sit among Lazio fans.

He has been studying in Germany for many years, except for the Huaxia team, Ke Yan definitely supports the German team.For this reason, he went to the fan store and bought a No. 11 jersey for the German team.

Marry a chicken and follow a chicken, Wang Lifan also changed into a women's jersey of the German team, with the number 7 printed on it, which is her lucky number.

"711?" The white color of the German jersey and these two numbers made Ke Yan think of the future combination of "Durant + Irving" of the Nets.

That is really a speechless combination!

But before 711, the Nets were also a team pulled up from the trough by Musk and Atkins. Russell, Dinwiddie, LeVert, Joe Harris, Allen and others helped the Nets The team made it to the playoffs, and the whole team is thriving.

Later, they got the opportunity to introduce Durant and Irving, but slowly lost their team culture in the connivance of superstars, took the wrong path of team building, and finally failed!

For Keyan, for the Eagles, this is a warning.

The team has stronger competitiveness, but it also tests Ke Yan's management talent even more.

Wearing the jersey of the German team, Keyan saw the king of Europe, Anthony Parker, who specially put on a suit and sat in the hotel waiting for him.

Anthony Parker, 31 years old, one of the members of the 96 golden generation, has "nowhere to go" in the NBA. His rookie contract was abandoned by the team before it was finished.

After that, he left the United States and came to Europe, completing the conquest of the European FIBA ​​system by American players.

In the first year in Europe, Anthony Parker led Maccabi to win the Israeli League Championship, the Israel Cup Championship and the UEFA Champions League Championship. He averaged 14.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in the Israeli League.Participated in the UEFA Champions League, averaging 16.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

In the tactical system of European main team basketball, it is not easy to cut this statistic.

In the next five years, Anthony Parker continued his way of conquering Europe. In the six years in Europe, he won 6 league titles, 4 domestic cup titles and 2 Champions League titles.Not only was he awarded the "European King", but he was also selected as the "50 Superstars in the European League".

back in the team ALL

IN

Before Garnett, Keyan already had plans to introduce Anthony Parker.

At that time, he had made initial contact with Anthony Parker through his classmates in Europe, and Parker was full of interest in returning to the NBA.

And after James Posey was put on Garnett's trading list, Ke Yan had greater confidence in convincing Anthony Parker that he could provide Anthony Parker with more playing time and even the main position.

For Anthony Parker himself, returning to the NBA is a big challenge.

After all, his previous NBA experience was not pleasant!

Otherwise, an American would never choose to work hard in Europe, where the atmosphere of basketball is average.

The meeting between Ke Yan and Anthony Parker went smoothly.Returning to the NBA, Parker is very cautious, after all, he has established a foundation in Europe.But to join the Eagles, Parker is very confident.

"At the beginning of the season, I plan to let you serve as the team's starting small forward. Your shooting is very accurate and your skills are comprehensive, which can play a key role in our running-in in the new season." Ke Yan said, "On the defensive end, we have KG, his help defense ability can well make up for your weakness."

Players who can conquer Europe have no basic skills, and so does Anthony Parker.On the offensive end, Parker has a good level, whether it is catching the ball and shooting from a fixed point, or shooting after holding the ball to find a screen; but why couldn't he play well in the NBA?In addition to injuries, it is mainly due to the deviation of dynamic talent, especially as a shooting guard, his lateral movement ability is weak, and it is easy for opponents to break through the first line of defense.

After honing in Europe for so many years, Anthony Parker's defense has improved. Limited by his physical talent, his mobility is still average, but his positioning is more experienced, and his defensive actions are more "standard".With Garnett to help him fill the position, it is also more conducive for him to play to his strengths.

Ke Yan's analysis actually included some conclusions from his previous life, and some came from his own understanding of basketball. The analysis was logical and reasonable.

Anthony Parker + Kittles + Hassel, this configuration is not very strong, but the three players have their own characteristics, and they can also pull the strength of the Eagles' small forward position to a level above the well-off level.

For a team, unless the time and place are right and all catch up, it is difficult to have a chance to form a lineup with top players in five positions.Take the Warriors as an example. Curry's "child labor contract" + sudden increase in salary space + Green and Thompson renewed their contracts in advance. All kinds of coincidences can usher in Durant's joining. This kind of opportunity is once in a hundred years. .

It is not easy for the Eagles to have a fairly competitive rotation lineup under the "Big Three" configuration!

Anthony Parker agreed to join the Eagles, and he quickly notified his agent of the decision, and even the price was negotiated. The total price of the 2+1 contract with the team option is 1350 million, which is very generous.

Whether it is worth the price or not, we have to wait until the season comes to play!

"I've never fought such a rich battle in my life!" After signing the contract, Larry Sander called to announce the good news to Ke Yan, and then it was the turn of the three rookies to sign.

"How about Gibson?" Ke Yan asked with concern.

"It's dragging on, expecting the Cavaliers to rescue him!" Larry Sander was very dissatisfied, "A second-round pick, how can he have the confidence."

"His strength is actually really good, and he can probably be ranked among the top [-] rookies in this class." Ke Yan said, "We actually picked up a big deal."

"Then I can't let him go! A twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst~" Larry Sander trusted Ke Yan's vision. He said that Gibson was worth a first round, and he was worth a first round. .

The Eagles don't have a particularly suitable backup point guard, and Ke Yan is more likely to use this kind of shooting point guard. Gibson is really promising in the Eagles.Therefore, it is puzzling for him to keep trying to assist James.

Anyway, the Eagles have already signed Bobby Jackson, and there is no big problem for him to come as a backup point guard.

Gibson's question, let's leave it alone.If Ke Yan loses patience one day, he will never play in the NBA in his life!

. . . . . .

On July 7, the free agent market opened, and the first news was not a signing news, but a deal completed by the Bucks and Raptors.The team traded the team's point guard TJ Ford to the Raptors, and got their promising power forward Villanueva and some cash from the Raptors.

Mo Williams has sprung up suddenly, TJ Ford is not of much value to the Bucks, and the Raptors' Spanish point guard Calderon can organize and shoot, but the overall is relatively mediocre. The team needs TJ Ford to strengthen Back line, this is a trade that takes what it wants.

Subsequently, the Magic completed a blockbuster signing. The team signed Peja for 5 million in 6300 years, which greatly improved the team's outside firepower!

Combined with Bynum + draft pick trade Josh Smith, the Magic formed a starting lineup of "Nelson + Peja + Turkoglu + Josh Smith + Howard". Every goal is possible!

Seeing this deal, Ke Yan also scratched his head a little. The Magic team's team building plan has completely changed, but it seems to be stronger.In the future, they may not have the space to chase Lewis, but they have enough space to keep Turkoglu.If Peja can guarantee health, with Howard's threat inside, this Magic team may grow into an opponent of the Eagles in the East.

The Chicago Bulls exchanged Chandler for the Hornets' PJ. Brown and JR Smith. At the same time, they signed Ben Wallace at a high price of 4 million for 6000 years!

Obviously, this is a "short-sighted" personnel change. Ben Wallace is 32 years old. For a short insider who relies on athletic ability, this is already a relatively dangerous age.

But the Bulls are eager to produce results. They have enough young talents in the team. A veteran with championship experience can help the team make a difference in the playoffs, and the experience in the playoffs can help young players grow rapidly !

Without Ben Wallace, the Pistons are a thing of the past.The team signed Muhammad of the Spurs in time as a supplement, but in the eyes of the fans, the decline in the strength of the Pistons is irreversible. Perhaps the team has really passed its championship window.

Rockets general manager Dawson made another foolish move. They used a four-year 4 million contract to sign Mike James, who had a good record with the Raptors last season.Rockets fans have always been dissatisfied with Alstom, but the fact is that whether it is Mike James or later Brooks, they are not as good as Alston in "passing the ball to Yao Ming".

Without Battier, the Rockets' prospects for the new season may not be as good as in the previous life. This is also the butterfly effect derived from Keyan's time travel.

The situation of the entire alliance is slowly changing!

. . . . . .

On July 7nd, at the Westfalenstadion, Ke Yan and 2 fans at the scene witnessed Grosso's fatal blow, and witnessed the Del Piero area's first display of power on the World Cup stage. After all, the German chariot fell to the ground In front of the reinforced concrete defense line of the Italian team.The fans of the German team at the scene felt dejected and burst into tears.

Wang Lifan took out a tissue and handed it to Ke Yan, but saw that although his face was not very good, he was not crying for the German team.

"It's not that the Huaxia team lost. I'm just going to school in Germany." Ke Yan smiled wryly, and reached out to rub Wang Lifan's hair.

"Ha, I thought you were so hardcore~" Wang Lifan stuck out his tongue, and then asked, "Will you cry when the Eagles win the championship?"

"You study neurosurgery, you should know that there is an amygdala in the human brain. I have had an MRI, and my amygdala is 1% smaller than the average person." Ke Yan thought for a while and said, "It may be because of this , My mood swings are smaller than the average person. So I am calmer than the average person."

"You still have amygdala problems?" Wang Lifan looked at Ke Yan with great interest and shook his head, "When I get married, I have to do another MRI for you to re-examine your brain."

"When?" Ke Yan asked in surprise.

"It's time to get married~" Wang Lifan followed Ke Yan's way and said casually.

"To be specific, when?" Ke Yan continued to ask.

"Just... when you get married." Wang Lifan's eyes were blurred, and he continued to whet Ke Yan's appetite.

"Hehe~" Ke Yan stretched out his hand to embrace Wang Lifan, and kissed her on the cheek, "I have to make some achievements as soon as possible, and I'm here to propose to you."

"Huh~!" Wang Lifan wrinkled his nose, turned his head away, and did not continue this topic.

The defeat of the German team in the semi-finals meant that Ke Yan did not have a home team in the final, so he only needed to watch the last dance of football master Zidane with an admiring attitude.

Ke Yan entered the holiday ahead of schedule, followed Wang Lifan to live his own life in Germany, and NBA teams continued their reinforcement plans.

Eddie House followed Ke Yan's proposal, and the highest bidder won. He signed a four-year contract of 4 million yuan with the Bucks as the second point guard.

Both Mo Williams and Michael Reed are guards with strong shooting ability. The addition of House can continue their shooting firepower on the bench.Moreover, Michael Reid is a glass man and is easily injured. House has the opportunity to get more opportunities. After the signing was completed, Ke Yan also expressed his blessings to him.

The Suns, who failed in the battle for House, then signed Banks as a supplement, with a total contract price of 5 million for 1800 years.

The ability of this floor-flow point guard is acceptable, but his off-ball ability is not very good, and his shooting ability is also average. It is really not suitable for the Suns, which mainly focus on running and bombing. Ke Yan is not very optimistic about D'Antoni's signing.

After the Suns signed Banks, Ke Yan also wanted to take advantage of the fire and asked about Barbosa's situation. If the Brazilian Lightning can be introduced, then the Eagles really don't have to worry about the backup lineup next season, and they will guarantee the top three in the league!

As a result, D'Antoni "smiled and scolded" him and pushed him back.

Last season, the Suns lost Amare Stoudemire, and their hard power was lower than that of the Spurs and Mavericks. In the east and west, the Suns were willing to send Joe Johnson to the Eagles when they couldn't keep Joe Johnson, so they cooperated with the Eagles to complete the signing.

But this season, the Suns are about to welcome Stoudemire's return, and the championship is the only goal; the Eagles have also been joined by Garnett, and their strength has reached the first tier in the Eastern Conference, with the strength to hit the championship. There is more or less some competitive relationship between the two teams. In this case, it is not easy to reach a deal.

What's more, Barbosa himself is in D'Antoni's team building plan. In the new season, he will be an important ball holder for the Suns' second team!

Compared with the sensation on the draft day, the overall movement in the free agent market is not much.Except that the signing of Peja by the Magic obviously improved the strength of the team, other major events did not change the league structure.Strong teams are making methodical self-adjustments, while mid-range teams are also moving towards their season goals.

It's just that the calm surface of the lake may also have undercurrents, but everyone hasn't noticed it yet!

. . . . . .

On the stage of the World Cup final, Zidane used his Marseille dance steps to compose the last movement of his career. His performance in the first 112 minutes almost made him lock the Golden Globe Award.Everyone believes that even if he loses the final, Zidane will still be the winner of the Ballon d'Or.

However, Materazzi's foul language elicited Zidane's "shocking top", and Zidane ended his World Cup journey and his career in an incredible way.And the scene of him passing the Hercules Cup has also become an eternal classic of the World Cup.The other protagonist of the incident, Materazzi, became the hero of Italy.

In this World Cup final and even the entire World Cup, Zidane was the hero of the French team, playing the role of an "angel", but became a "devil" in the second half of overtime.

Sometimes, there is really only a thin line between angels and devils.

Life is like a chocolate, you never know whether the next one will be bitter or sweet.Just as Ke Yan was enjoying the joy and emotion brought by the World Cup in Berlin, a call from Larry Sander came unexpectedly.

"Kimi, something happened to Kerry!"

"What?" Ke Yan was startled.

"Something happened to Kerry!"
