Chapter 367 Self-sacrifice
In the end, the Olympic men's basketball champion still went to the Soviet Union, and the U.S. team, which had been given high hopes, fell to the semi-finals and only won third place.
Such a result was not affected by the butterfly effect. In fact, it is not difficult to understand. At this time, the Soviet team had Sabonis with the "roof of the world" on the inside, Matthew Leonis on the outside, and Kurtinetis on the outside. A strong lineup within.
Facing the United States, they have maintained a lead of about 10 points throughout the game, completely suppressing the United States team.
In the final, they faced the Yugoslav men's basketball team again.
At this time, the Yugoslav men's basketball team was also very strong. They had top European stars such as Tony Kukoc, Vlad Divac, Drazen Petrovic, etc., and in the group stage, they also scored 92: 79 defeated the Soviet Union.
However, in the final, the Soviet Union suppressed Yugoslavia all the way, and finally succeeded in revenge with 76:63 and won the championship.
However, although the Soviet Union won the championship, the real winner of this campaign is the Warriors, because other teams in the league suddenly found out, good guy, there are Warriors players in this championship and runner-up team, Frank is really a walking dog Lucky shit!
Richmond did not participate in the closing ceremony. In fact, most of the American men's basketball players did not participate. After winning a shameful bronze medal, they immediately returned to the United States, because at this time, each team had already started a new one. season training camp.
In a blink of an eye, time has come to October, and the preparations for the new season of each team are in full swing.
The Warriors are naturally no exception. Compared with other teams, the Warriors have a relatively stable lineup and relatively mature skills and tactics. Therefore, relatively speaking, there is no such big difficulty in running in. The only thing that needs attention is Richmond. He has not returned before the start of the training camp, so everything is mainly about recovering his physical fitness.
For more than a month since Marisa left, Li Weisi took care of the children at home in addition to training regularly every day. It is strange to say that Peter can get along with everyone in peace, but Li Weisi can't. The father and son are really natural enemies. Do not deal with.
In less than a month, Li Weisi was tired of Peter to the extreme, and finally chose to take a plane, flew to the UK, and found Marisa, which gave Li Weisi a little relief.
However, after the Batman crew learned that Li Weisi came to visit the set, they forced Li Weisi to play a cameo role in the movie. Fortunately, he was a passerby and did not need any acting skills. This made Li Weisi complete after only NGing 11 times. shot.
But even so, he still felt exhausted, more tired than he played four overtimes.
After staying in England for only two days, he returned to San Francisco with Peter in his arms.
I have to say that although he came in a hurry, it was a very pleasant surprise for Marisa. After all, this was Li Weisi's first visit to the set. Although she hadn't made a few movies, happiness and sweetness still filled Marisa. Sarah's heart.
Li Weisi, who returned to San Francisco, did not go out again, and has been quietly waiting for the start of the new season.
With the return of Richmond, the Warriors are fully staffed, and all tactical drills have started.
Unlike most of the half-finished rookies of the Warriors, Richmond is not a rookie at all, and his plug and play surprised Nelson.
In fact, Richmond is 23 years old this year, older than Li Weisi, so he shouldn't be required as a rookie.
He started systematically training basketball at the age of 14. Because of the poor record and lack of popularity of his high school team, no NCAA college team offered him a scholarship. As a last resort, he had to go to a two-year junior college. Continue your basketball life.
Fortunately, the low-level league did not obliterate his brilliance, and he was valued by the scouts of Kansas State University, which gave him a chance to show him in the NCAA league.
Therefore, this robust young man had a place to use his skills.
Now after joining the Warriors, not only has he solved the most difficult perimeter defense problem of the Warriors, but he can also serve as another ball-holding point to launch an offense. He is completely a low-profile version of Jordan.
This discovery also made Nelson have greater expectations for the new season, but before again, Nelson still needs to solve a small problem.
On this day, after the training camp, Malone was about to take a shower, but Nelson stopped him.
"Moses, are you free?" Nelson stopped in front of Malone with a smile.
"What's the matter? Nelly?" Malone said bluntly.
"How inappropriate to say here, come with me to my office? Frank recently gave me a bag of tea, what is said to be called 'Red Clothes', let's drink and chat?"
Ma Long vaguely guessed what Nelson was going to say, but he still followed Nelson to his office.
"Try it, I think it's pretty good!" When Nelson came to the office, he put the brewed tea on the coffee table in front of Malone, and then sat on the sofa beside him.
"It's a little hot, drink it later, why don't you talk about things first?"
"Don't be so nervous, we're just talking, Moses, are you 33 this year?" Nelson asked casually.
"Yes, it will be 34 by next year's playoffs." Malone shrugged and said indifferently.
"Have you thought about how many years you can play?"
"Looking at my current state, I should still be able to play for four or five years." Ma Long said without any concealment.
"Yes! Four to five years is a lot, but it depends on your health."
"Okay, Nellie, don't go around in circles, just speak up if you have something to say." Ma Long is a straightforward person, and he doesn't bother to go around in circles with Nelson here.
"Well, let me just say it straight. According to the coaching staff's discussion, I plan to shorten your playing time in the regular season this season. At the same time, I will give you a proper rotation in back-to-back games so that you can focus on your energy. Staying in the playoffs, what do you think about this?" Nelson tentatively asked.
"You're going to tell me this?" Ma Long's face was full of words.
"Yes!"
"Then let me be honest with you, I don't think I'm old, I still think I can play 35 minutes per game, wait, Nellie, wait until I finish!" Seeing that Nelson wanted to refute himself, Malone interrupted Nelson's interruption first.
"I don't accept the old, but I will not block the way of young people. I know the team's arrangements, and I am willing to give him a chance. Of course, the premise of all this is for the championship. I can ask, my new season How much playing time do you have?"
Hearing Malone's words, Nelson was very moved, because he knew what it meant to a superstar, and he also knew how much Malone had lost, but for the sake of the team, he still made up his mind to do so.
So he whispered two words: "25 minutes!"
"Enough!" Ma Long smiled lightly after hearing this, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and immediately changed his face: "Fuck, it's so hot!"
