567: The trouble of being too powerful(2/5)

Li Ang didn't want to either. He originally said he would go on vacation with Scarlett and bring some imported bath water to Adu.

But the Asian Championships will be played in August. Although the Basketball Association does not force participation, Li Ang and Yao Ming must at least go to a small venue.

Dayao has just finished playing in the finals, can he be allowed to go? Li Ang took over the job.

Therefore, the holidays can only be discussed after the Asian Championships. The training camp must also be held before the Asian Championships.

Kobe was very shocked when he saw DeRozan actually go to train with Li Ang.

The original plan was for DeRozan to defeat Curry in his rookie season, and the Mamba disciples would give Kobe a long face.

As a result, Mamba's disciples turned into Li Ang's disciples!

Confused, confused! If you go to Li Ang's training camp, you can train Jiba!

Li Ang: How many people want to train Jiba, but there is no such way yet!

DeRozan was indeed a fan of Kobe Bryant at first. After all, he is from California, and his previous favorite was the Lakers.

But this year, Deron has to love Deron for his strong performance since arriving with the Clippers this year.

When Li Ang scored 57 points in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers, he even captured DeRozan's heart.

Hearing that Li Ang was going to hold a training camp, DeRozan came with money in hand.

As a result, Li Ang said that it was free to participate in his training camp!

As long as you can endure hardship.

Moreover, Li Ang trained with everyone throughout the whole process.

Kobe Bryant training camp is actually a somewhat commercial training camp. Most of the time, Kobe himself is not actually there. He only occasionally comes to give lessons to the students.

But Li Ang's training camp is private in nature. He just wants to find a few people to train with him.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not.

DeRozan was even more excited.

It’s nothing to endure hardship. Who hasn’t experienced the taste of hardship?

Besides, if you train with Li Ang, you might even be able to develop a superb elbow technique.

In this world of basketball, if you don't know some elbow skills, it's hard to get ahead.

Li Ang's goal that killed the game in G5 of the finals seemed to be an extreme alley-oop in 0.5 seconds, but it was actually an extreme elbow strike.

There are so many elbow skills but the body is not pressed down!

DeRozan attended a basketball training camp, but what he wanted to learn most was elbow skills. This is probably what makes Li Ang unique.

Kobe burst into tears. This time Li Ang won the championship and actually took away all his good disciples.

The month ended quickly. After Li Ang's training camp, people interviewed Curry and DeRozan, two rookies, and asked them how they felt about their U-shaped ability with superstars like Li Ang. They all just showed very reluctant expressions.

smile, and then sigh:

"Li Ang's success cannot be copied by anyone."

DeRozan survived the tough life, but the tough training camp almost left DeRozan in it.

Li Ang's training intensity is indeed very intense. There is no other way. This is what Kobe Bryant's Bad Bad Badge requires.

But the rewards are indeed good. Li Ang received a reward of 5 rebounds during this training, and his rebound attribute increased from 85 to 90!

Relying on this rebounding ability and his big butt, even if his athletic ability really declines in the future, Li Ang will not worry about not being able to grab rebounds.

The first headline was made when the training camp started, and the second headline was made when the training camp ended.

And Kobe has never made headlines since being eliminated in the Western Conference Finals last season.

In Los Angeles, who is the center of attention right now?

Fortunately, Li Ang finally left Los Angeles to participate in the Asian Championships at the end of July.

Yunlong is not at home, and the old snake is the king!

Kobe was thinking, now, you can’t just report on Le Ang, right?

As a result, half a month later...

"Li Ang averaged 24 points per game and led the Chinese team to a complete victory and won the championship! The Asian Championship championship has been monopolized by the Chinese team!"

Kobe couldn't believe that winning the Asian Championship made headlines in the Los Angeles newspapers!

If they play in the Asian Championships, what does it have to do with you in Los Santos?

The Asian Championships are indeed not very popular, but Li Ang won another championship, which is very popular.

At the end of August, the Lakers officially renewed Ariza's contract, and the Lakers Galaxy Battleship did not have to worry about being dismantled.

Kobe also personally attended the press conference announcing Ariza's stay with the team, hoping to make headlines.

As a result, as soon as the Lakers signed Ariza, the Clippers announced that they had signed former MVP Allen Iverson to a mid-level contract!

After Iverson's contract with the 76ers expired this summer, he did not hesitate to test the free agent market.

But what shocked him was that most teams were only willing to give him the veteran's minimum salary!

How can the arrogant AI stand this? Have you ever seen an MVP receiving a veteran's basic salary?

AI's annual salary last season was still 20.84 million, but this year's offer suddenly dropped to just over 1 million, which is really hard to accept for whoever has changed.

However, the teams that made the offer were not stupid. Although AI could still average 17 points per game last season, its efficiency was too low, and its shooting rate was just over 40%.

Moreover, the AI ​​has no defense yet.

His 17 points didn't help the team at all.

In the heyday of AI, because everyone was focused on defense, everyone could still accept a less efficient scorer.

But nowadays, no one needs a scorer whose shooting percentage will be over 40% and who must occupy a lot of the ball.

Moreover, AI was injured in the second half of last season, and no one knows what his status will be like next season.

Anyway, AI's attendance rate in the past two seasons has not been high, playing only more than 50 games.

A 34-year-old veteran whose condition has begun to decline seriously and who is not very healthy is indeed only worth a veteran's minimum salary.

The AI ​​​​people were stupid, and they misjudged their own market conditions.

Originally, I wanted to join a championship team, but the championship teams didn't offer an olive branch at all. The people who quoted AI were all lottery teams. The reason is very simple. Although AI's strength has declined, it still has a good box office appeal.

force.

Just when AI almost agreed to join the Pistons, Li Ang called.

After Francis won the championship last season, he thought about it for a long time in the summer and finally decided to retire.

Although he won the championship, he clearly felt that he was actually marginalized in the team.

After a season, there are only one or two opportunities to perform.

He really felt powerless.

Anyway, the championship dream has come true. Fu Laoer said that Brother Li, I will take the first step.

I'll check out where the delicious fruit bowls are for you first. When you retire, you can come and enjoy them with me.

Therefore, the Clippers will lack a sixth-man attacker next season. As a sixth-man, the AI ​​occupies the ball and can only attack but not defend. These shortcomings have actually become advantages for the Clippers.

Li Ang had called the AI ​​a long time ago, but the unruly AI still said the same thing: "Brother Li, have you ever seen MVP play as a substitute? I, Ai, am destined to do great things! I appreciate your kindness.

My heart understands it, but what I yearn for is poetry and the distance."

As a result, Shi and Yuanfang were shattered by the reality of a bunch of veterans’ basic salaries.

So later, the AI ​​called Li Ang: "Brother Li, I have thought about it. I think the true meaning of MVP is that it can adapt to any role and any position. An MVP who has never played as a sixth man is not a qualified MVP.

"

No matter how unruly AI is, it is not a stubborn person.

Although weak teams like the Grizzlies and Pistons have verbally stated that they are willing to give AI positions, the positions may not necessarily be given after being stated. The Grizzlies have Conley and the Pistons have Stuckey. They are both key training targets for the team.

A man's mouth is a liar. When he said it, he said he would only go in but not move, so how can you believe it?

When I talk about it, I always say that you are definitely the star, Ai Ye is mighty.

But if you really go there and ask you to be a substitute, you won't just have to be obedient. If you don't, you will be blamed for it.

When the time comes that AI will start a fight with them, the worst they can do is lay off AI. Anyway, it’s just the veteran’s basic salary.

Since they are all on the bench, why should my AI have to bench the likes of Conley and Stuckey?

After all, the Ross family is still Li Ang's immediate family, after all, he is also the legitimate number one pick, and he is also a champion point guard.

Besides, they are all on the bench, and if they go to the Clippers, they still have a chance to compete for the championship.

Moreover, the Clippers have always quoted mid-level contracts. In Ballmer's view, saving such a small amount of money is completely unnecessary!

It’s not impossible to spend more money to give AI, the former MVP, some dignity.

After all, the middle-class contract is somewhat acceptable for AI. It is not shameful for an aging superstar to get a middle-class contract!
