The outstanding performances of Li Kaiming, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian immediately became a hot topic of discussion among Chinese fans after the game.
Especially the progress shown by the latter two on the court has made Chinese fans begin to feel that maybe settling down in a corner is not a good choice. If they seize the opportunity to train on a higher platform, there will be visible improvements.
At the post-game press conference, Wizards head coach Sanders also praised Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian in front of many reporters. The Wizards' current lineup is obviously lacking, especially on the outside. If Sun Yue can seize the opportunity, at least Can have stable playing time in Sanders' system.
As for Yi Jianlian, he is even more special. Apart from Li Kaiming, he is the only player on the Wizards who can shoot out of the penalty area. After experiencing several five-out lineups, Sanders is sensitive to the advanced nature of this tactical system. So he has begun to gradually increase Yi Jianlian's role in training, and he already wants to carry forward this tactic with the Wizards.
Compared to the Wizards' post-game press conference, the media paid more attention to the post-game summary of the Knicks, who played at home.
After the game, Stoudemire left the game directly without signaling to the Wizards players. It seemed that he felt very uncomfortable with the loss of this game.
Fortunately, Si appeared at the post-match press conference, which did not let the reporters miss.
The first person to be interviewed was Knicks head coach D'Antoni. Faced with the reporter's question, D'Antoni smiled bitterly and said with emotion, "I have never seen a team with five people on the court who can shoot three-pointers." lineup, and then defeated us with three-pointers. Even the Phoenix Suns, who used run-and-gun tactics, I have never used such a crazy tactic. Sanders is really crazy!"
The reporter asked again, "Then what do you think of the Wizards' No. 1 pick Li Kaiming?"
D'Antoni's words are still more sincere. The opponent has already beaten his own family until garbage time, and there is no point in belittling the opponent. "This guy is really a talent. I can't imagine what achievements he can achieve in the future. Maybe Sora is His limit.”
After that, the reporter interviewed Stoudemire again. Stoudemire has not recovered yet. This offseason, he came to the Knicks not to brush up data. He has already passed the age of brushing up statistics. Now He wants a championship even more.
But after this game, the Knicks' current record is a pitiful 2 wins and 3 losses, and they are on the edge of the playoffs. This is completely different from what he thought when he came to the Knicks.
After Si gave a few perfunctory answers, the post-game press conference ended.
After finishing the post-game interview, everyone on the Wizards immediately packed their bags and headed home. The following night, the Wizards will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at the MCI Center at home. They must rush back home early, because It’s about squeezing out some rest time in a tight schedule.
Huaguo, all Hua is left
The conflict between Han Yinzhi and Liang Zhen has been brought to the forefront, and the Chinese basketball world has immediately fallen into turmoil, with more and more people being involved in this turmoil.
Naturalizing a foreign player for the national team is not something that one person can do with a slap on the head. Even if this person has enough power, the consequences of naturalization are not borne by the person who made the decision alone. The upper management, led by the Sports Bureau and the Basketball Association, must jointly shoulder the responsibility.
Therefore, even though Liang Zhen is the current director and logically the person with the most power, he has no way to speak out on this matter, and he has no intention of speaking out in the first place.
So, naturally, a meeting to discuss whether to naturalize Li Kaiming was held in a confidential conference room in Huadu City.
At the meeting, the main representatives of the two parties were the naturalization faction headed by Liang Zhen and the rejection of naturalization faction headed by Liu Li, chairman of the Basketball Association.
Of course, Liu Li is just a spokesperson promoted by Han Yinzhi. Everyone present knows that the biggest supporter of the opposition is Han Yinzhi. As long as he can convince the latter, this matter will become as smooth as using Kesellu for constipation. slip.
Naturally, Han Yinzhi was also sitting upright in the conference room. In the huge conference room, dozens of people were clearly divided into two groups and sat down separately in front of an oval conference table.
There were relatively few people on Han Yinzhi's side, but the old man still held his head high and showed no signs of weakness.
Fatty Liu Li, on the other hand, arrived at the scene and saw that only two-thirds of the people on his side were those on the opposite side. Cold sweat immediately broke out from his forehead.
Liang Zhen was in the middle, smiled slightly, and announced the start of the meeting. Han Yinzhi came up and took the lead in firing.
"I think it's not possible. Our Chinese basketball has never lacked talents. It's just that our training system is not advanced enough. This is limited by the country's economic development. It's not that our system is backward. In the next few years, as long as our economic level Keeping up, training a large number of NBA-level players is not a problem at all. Instead, naturalizing foreign players is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst. Now that Chinese basketball is in decline, we immediately think about naturalizing. Why can't we start by improving our training system? Naturalizing a player will not make our basketball rise. On the contrary, if he cannot achieve good results, he will become a joke!"
As soon as these words came out, they were very resounding. Even on the side that supported the naturalization of Li Kaiming, there were many people who seemed to be moved by Han Yinzhi's words.
On the opposition side, Liu Li saw Mr. Han pressing the opponent and beating him as soon as he came up. He immediately felt relieved, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and made his attitude clear.
"Mr. Han is right. As the chairman of the Basketball Association, I think we should gradually improve our training system instead of naturalizing existing ones with a short-sighted approach. Our country is not an immigration country like America. It’s up to you to cultivate yourself…”
What Fatty Liu is best at is beating up drowned dogs. After hearing Liu Li's remarks, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming, who were sitting on the other side, sneered in their hearts.
Chairman Liu was not like this in Director Liang's office.
But now is not the time for them to talk. Although these two people have a relatively high status in the national team, they are the most influential people in this conference room, so it is not their turn to talk for the time being.
The speeches of the two giants from the opposition side immediately caused the entire conference room to fall into silence.
On the Naturalization Sect, a group of people look at me and I look at you. No one can stand up and refute Han Yinzhi's views, or no one dares to refute.
Han Yinzhi's influence in China's basketball world can be perfectly explained by the saying that a hundred-footed insect can die but never become stiff.
Even though he is no longer in office, many people are still afraid of him.
Seeing this, Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming, who were sitting in the corner, looked at each other and saw anxiety in each other's eyes.
Both of them are staunch supporters of naturalization. Seeing that no one on their side dared to speak out, they were naturally a little impatient.
Just when everyone thought that this meeting would become a classic battle in which Han Yinzhi defeated more with less, a light cough came from the middle of the conference table, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Han Yinzhi also looked at the sound, and when he saw the face of the person who made the sound, his expression darkened instantly.
Are you going to go against me after all?
Liang Zhen saw that all the attention was on him, and he smiled lightly, "Haha, what Mr. Han and Chairman Liu said are very reasonable. I also have some insights that I want to share with you."
Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming in the corner saw Liang Zhen finally stand up, their faces flushed with excitement. If there weren't so many big shots here, they would have jumped up and swung their fists!
After Liang Zhen was polite, he did not wait for others to respond to him, but directly began to explain his point of view. This made Han Yinzhi, who was about to choke him, swallow the words on the edge of his mouth, his face turned red, and he felt sorry for Liang Zhen in his heart. Zhen Zhen's hatred deepened even more.
Liang Zhen looked around, glanced at all the faces, and then said, "Han Lao is doing well. Our basketball training system is indeed lagging behind and there are many areas for improvement. This is also the focus of our future work. But improving our There is no conflict between the training system and naturalizing foreign players to improve the strength of the national team. Why must these two be opposed? Can't I use naturalized players to improve the current strength and improve it at the same time? To cultivate the system and improve the strength of the national team in the future? In my eyes, these two options are not either-or at all, but a clever way to cooperate with each other to improve the strength of our national team."
After a pause, Liang Zhen continued, "Besides, we are not just naturalizing a foreign player. Our goal is only Li Kaiming. He is the player that best meets our requirements. He is completely Chinese and has adequate basketball skills. Isn't this what we want?" Is it the best choice? If there was no player like Li Kaiming, I would definitely not support naturalization!"
This well-founded statement immediately caused the entire conference room to fall into silence.
Most of the people lowered their heads and thought, except for Han Yin, who looked a little ugly.
As soon as he came up, he directly raised the matter of naturalization to the future of Chinese basketball, just to put the matter of naturalizing Li Kaiming in opposition to the development of Chinese basketball.
This argument seems very reasonable and very inflammatory, but if you study it carefully, you will find that Han Yinzhi's debate is simply untenable.
Liang Zhenjin came prepared and had already prepared a plan in his mind. He could respond to any views Han Yinzhi had.
Of course, Liang Zhen is not just targeting Han Yin. He called Guo Shiqiang and Gong Luming over now just to convince these people in terms of their performance.
After a heated debate, the situation gradually reversed...
At the end of the meeting, Han Yinzhi saw that the situation was over, but he still refused to give up, "Liang Zhen, if you become a naturalized Li Kaiming and don't get the results you deserve, how will you apologize?"
Liang Zhen smiled and said, "What do you always want?"
Han Yinzhi snorted, "If you don't win a medal at the London Olympics, then you will take the blame and resign!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
With Yao Ming's current state, it is not certain whether he can play in the London Olympics. Even if he is a half-blooded Yao Ming, the combination of peak Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian has only reached the top eight. Now Yao Ming is no longer at his peak, and although Wang Zhizhi is old As for Mi Jian, China has no matching point guard on the outside. In just two years, there is no time to train another one. It is extremely difficult to lead such a Chinese team to win the championship!
Liang Zhen's position is one that most people will never reach in their lifetime. Will he risk his career for Li Kaiming?
The entire conference room was depressed, and in the minds of most people, Liang Zhen might have given up.
Han Yinzhi stared at Liang Zhen's face, with a cheerful smile on his face.
I don't believe that you, Liang Zhen, would give up your promising future for a foreigner you have never met!
However, what everyone did not expect was that Liang Zhen did not hesitate for too long. After thinking for a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Han Yinzhi's eyes widened...
How can it be?
