Chapter 812 The Intense Olympic Competition
West's meaning is obvious, he just wants to talk about the future reinforcement plan and ask the core team for their opinions.
In fact, before the finals, he was worried about winning or losing this time, and he didn't even tell anyone... He felt that the Celtics had a better chance of winning, because the opponent's lineup was extremely fucked up, and no stronger team could be found in the short term. Yes, so the loss of this championship is not wronged, and as the only O'Neal who can compete with Li Shengli without losing, it is only a matter of time before a center of this historical level wins the championship.
The only difference now is that O'Neal and Garnett form the strongest inside team in the league, but Li Shengli's side... West has no choice, because he really can't find anyone to come and play.
"Phil, Lee, next season...Green, we want to send him away!"
"Should be, but it depends on whether there are suitable supplementary players behind you!" Phil nodded.
"Damn, isn't it?" Li Shengli was stunned and said: "Green said two days ago that he was going to retire, and I advised him to continue playing. Are you going to sell him now?"
"Cough, there is no way. We are considering matters at the team level. It is difficult for Green to play the starting four. We must find someone to replace him."
"Then who do you like?"
"Tell me first, do you have any teammates you want?" West asked.
"Yes, Li, you are a player. No one doubts that your influence in certain aspects is greater than ours. You can try to give some advice!" Phil Jackson followed up.
"Me? I don't have any suggestions!" Li Shengli glanced at the two old slickers, thinking... These two old guys don't want me to arrest them, do they? !
But the question is who can be caught?
If it is against the combination of O'Neal + Garnett, it will be too difficult to find a power forward comparable to Garnett. There must be some. The problem is that players of this level can be nuclear players.
Come to the Lakers to be the boss?
That is impossible.
Li Shengli may not care, but Kobe will definitely not be convinced. Even if Los Angeles is a good place and the exposure of the big ball market is greater, the question is who is willing to let the boss and the core not do it, and come to the Lakers to be the junior. He insisted that he was desperate before. Barkley, who was 'hacked' by the Rockets, was just a windfall for West.
……
"This matter...you just look at the selection, and directly match Garnett!" Li Shengli has no idea, and now with the goal of winning the championship, the Celtics must still be the biggest opponent. If they meet again, they will definitely not appear. The situation where Nate was shorted in stages.
"This is your request and suggestion?" Phil Jackson smiled.
"Actually, this is the most difficult thing!" West touched his head and said, "The team's salary is not a problem at all, the problem is that there are no suitable candidates in the free market, or...you take advantage of this Greenville summit to inquire For a moment, it’s all in your territory anyway, so you have to find some interested candidates for us to talk about.”
Damn, don't you still want me to arrest people?
Li Shengli glanced at the old and cunning West, and West could be the general manager of the Lakers. If Li Shengli didn't believe him, he didn't think about this kind of thing. Another insurance.
But the key is who to look for?
On the Spurs side, Duncan is happily waiting to take over from Robinson, who is expected to be the boss.
Nowitzki on the Mavericks side is still on the rise, but he has been reused by the old Nelson. It is time to play data, especially Cuban will not make stupid deals.
As for the Jazz... Malone and Stockton signed a long-term contract at the beginning, the contract was not big, but the contribution of Shuangsha was great, so Larry Miller gave them a new contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, and another Stoke Don didn't leave, and the old man Jerry Sloan was there, and Malone just wanted to support these two old partners.
Then there is Kemp, who has been tossing around the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers. A big lockout allowed him to completely let go of himself.
There are still many other candidates, but there are really not many who can be selected. The Lakers want to meet the Celtics next season. All-star caliber player.
……
Chatted with West about the new season, and got nothing.
Li Shengli estimated that the goal of West's team preliminaries has not yet been determined, but it is still too early, and for him... for some time in the future, the most important thing is the half-month Olympic men's basketball competition in September. The high ground that must be seized after losing the finals is even more important than the finals, and of course it is more difficult to fight.
Back to Greenville from Los Angeles.
Li Shengli made arrangements to report in Los Angeles first, and then went to Greenville to plan the next itinerary, taking out and learning about the situation with Dayao.
……
The importance of the Olympics goes without saying.
The men's basketball team's ranking in the last Atlanta Olympics was the eighth best in history, but this time the domestic voices are higher and the expectations are much higher than four years ago. Everyone thinks this is the pinnacle of men's basketball history.
In fact, Li Shengli had higher expectations than everyone else.
Although the previous Chinese team was in the lower reaches of the Olympic men's basketball team, there is no doubt that... the domestic men's basketball team is now on the rise, and the future will be the most golden period of time. Although the domestic fans are very loud, but in fact they only shouted the slogan of 'guaranteed eight'.
There is no way, because the lottery grouping this time is very pessimistic, very pessimistic.
Group A brings together teams from the United States, France, Lithuania, and Italy, which can be called the death group. Even the three teams of the United States, France, and Liberia were predicted to win three medals before the game, especially the United States team.
America's Dream Team, the World's Nightmare Team!
It is not deliberate to promote the combat effectiveness of the Dream Team. In fact, the Dream Team is indeed the highest peak representative of basketball, and the only good news is... the 12-man roster announced by Dream Four this year can be regarded as the previous Dream Team The lowest in the middle class.
Of course, low grade is only relative, not like Meng Yi!
But no matter what, the dream team that seems to be the weakest so far puts a lot of pressure on other teams.
O'Neal, Kobe, and Iverson did not participate in the scoring championship this season, and the starting lineup of the Dream Four is basically...Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Kidd, Payton, this lineup is definitely not NBA The strongest lineup that can be produced, but no one believes that it will lose. After all, all five are the best lineup. Garnett and Payton defend first, Mourning and Kidd defend second, let alone Dream Four Ray Allen and a group of pitchers.
In Li Shengli's view, he can only look at the inside line.
The combination of myself, Yao and Dazhi, when they met Mourning+Garnett's inside line, if they want to win, they have to blow up. The balance of power is not good, after all, there will be a big gap in the outside line comparison.
Looking back, this situation is actually good. Li Shengli thinks that at least Yao will feel the NBA's top insiders in advance, and let the NBA feel Yao's potential. It's on the right track, after all, it's better to fight than to say ten thousand words.
