Chapter 335 is all mine
"Fox, panda, you are welcome to join the team. In fact, I haven't been here for a long time, but it's still okay to introduce your new teammates to you."
Nash joined the team two days early. The Canadian team is undergoing an update this year, and many new teammates do not even know Nash.
The two brothers followed Nash into the training hall and greeted the new teammates of the national team one by one. Except for Matt Bonner and Joel Anthony, the other brothers did not know each other and had never heard of them.
"Hi fox, I'm your fan, can we have a photo with you?"
Andy Laudins, who is playing the NCAA University League, said to Ji Guomeng with an excited look on his face. The guy's tone was simply too polite. At first glance, he was a little brat who had never seen the world, just like a crazy fan who met his idol.
"You're so kind. We're teammates now, of course." Ji Guo laughed and pretended to be a mature person. In fact, he was one year younger than the other party, and he was in the third year of college.
"You are panda? Sorry, I really can't recognize who you are the brother and who are the younger brother, but we have watched the finals. Your performance is really amazing and amazing." Olu Famtimi, who plays in the Development League, stepped forward with equal enthusiasm. He and Aaron Donakamp, who is also in the Development League, are barely enough to be a NBA player in one aspect. These two have also won short-term contracts in the NBA team, just like ten days.
Apart from the Big Three, there are not many other players with strength in the Canadian team. Andy Laudins is still very strong. He can make a three-pointer in one shot. Olu Famtimi and Aaron Donakamp, who play in the Development League, are also some specialties. There are two NBA players left, Matt Bonner and Joel Anthony, except for the three stars. The two strongest, Canada counts over and over again, basically these few players have some strength, and the rest are all the ones who make up the numbers.
The 12-man Canadian roster has been confirmed:
pg: Steve Nash, Jamill Anderson
sg: Andy Laudins, Aaron Donakamp, Ryan Bell
sf: Olu Famtimi, Jameen Bokner
pf: Ji Guohumiliation, Matt Bonner,
c: Ji Guoqiu, Joel Anthony, Philip Martin
The two brothers airborne the Canadian team with the honor of the finals champion, which is completely different from when they first arrived at the Clippers. The eyes of these teammates looking at them are idols. Most of them do not even have the strength of NBA water dispenser players. Now they can play with two MVPs and MVPs in the finals, which is simply flattering!
The head coach of the Canadian men's basketball team is retired player Jay Triano. He served as the head coach of the Canadian men's basketball team at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Due to his good relationship with Nash and has been serving as an assistant coach for the Raptors in the past two seasons, the Canadian Basketball Association rehired him as the head coach after the NBA season ended in 2007-08.
Triano is not young anymore. He is 50 years old and has rich coaching experience. The Canadian Basketball Association believes that Triano, who has both national team coach and NBA coaching experience, can better use three NBA stars.
In the past few days, the two brothers and the team have conducted simple training together, and have received exclusive interviews from several Canadian media in their spare time. They also expressed their goal of reaching the semi-finals in the Olympics at least.
As a Canadian team with the inside core of the champion team + two MVPs, although other players are average in strength, the Canadian team is strong enough in the Olympic Games, so the goal set is not too much. Entering the semi-finals is a relatively pragmatic plan for Canada.
Their business team also began to split into two groups, receiving many endorsements for the two in China and Canada respectively. Most of them were small contracts that did not require two people to advertise, but there were also several large contracts.
After the playoffs, Ji Guoqiu endorsed Canada Manulife Insurance (6 million US dollars in 2 years), Haier (60 million RMB in 3 years), China Southern Airlines (30 million RMB in 2 years), KFC (8 million US dollars in 3 years), and Panda Brother’s four contracts were about 50% higher than the previous endorsement price.
Ji Guomomoto endorsed Canadian Panxi Life Insurance (US$6 million for 2 years), Whirlpool (US$10 million for 3 years), Canadian Airways (US$5 million for 2 years), McDonald's (US$8 million for 3 years), Ferrero (US$8 million for 3 years), and the Fox Brother's endorsement fee also increased by 50%.
The endorsement fee for these newly signed endorsement contracts has increased significantly compared to before the playoffs. The two now add up all the large endorsement contracts. The brother's annual income is US$32 million before tax, and the younger brother's US$33 million before tax. Including the various small contracts of more than 30 each person and the poor rookie salary, the total amount has exceeded US$40 million. Three years later, when they sign the second NBA contract and the earlier commercial contract re-signed, their income will easily exceed 60 million. It is not a dream to become the highest-paid player in the NBA.
Canada's first Olympic waiver will be held on June 25, with the venue at the Toronto Raptors' home court, and the Air Canada Center Stadium will face its opponent Nigeria.
Taylor Swift and Christine followed their boyfriends to Canada, half traveling and half watching games.
This time, the giant panda found an excuse not to bring Emma Roberts. The latter was of course unhappy, but Ji Guoqiu made the excuse that he could only play for a few minutes, and the "Angry Birds" was about to start the sale. At this time, she needed to stay in Los Angeles and stare. These two reasons combined were quite sufficient.
There is no star that Nigeria is known for being famous. African countries have good strength in football, but they are average in basketball, and even Asian teams cannot compare with Asian teams. Basketball has extremely high requirements for both physical and technical aspects, and it is indispensable. Even if African teams have advantages, they lack formal training and nutrition the day after tomorrow, and relying solely on talent, they still cannot play.
Due to the short training time of the Canadian team, the team can only set the NBA style that the three stars are usually used to in terms of tactics. It is basically a round-trip pick-and-roll cooperation. It relies entirely on the talents of Nash and the twin brothers. I often directly command the team according to the tactics they are familiar with in the Suns. The two brothers are not uncomfortable with this. It seems that the three of them cooperate well, and Nash completely treats the two as Xiao Si to pass the ball.
On June 25, the Olympic undraft held in Toronto that night attracted a total of 19,800 Canadian fans to watch. They could not wait to see what Nash and the twins were together.
As a result, after seeing this, Raptors fans said that this is no different from watching the Suns and the Clippers play. It is completely a small ball tactic plus various pick-and-roll and random running styles, especially the fast attacks, which advocates offense and is no problem to say it is bombardment.
This purest offensive basketball that makes people burst into blood can only be described in two words, that is, gorgeous.
Nash and the twins cooperated and it took less than ten seconds to complete an attack. The team's offense and defense pace was very fast, just like the police and gangster films in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, with no rest time at all. It makes people feel good from beginning to end.
The tactics used in Canada are also simple and excessive. Basically, they use two or three routines back and forth. Of course, this is related to the weak opponents and you don’t need too much cooperation to break through Nigeria’s defense. The latter is not the same level as Canada, and you can score a huge difference in any game. Many people who are following this game can’t see where the upper limit of Canada is?
In this game, the most common tactic is that Nash quickly presses into the frontcourt, and any twins come out to play pick-and-roll with Nash. The latter can easily break in and attack by himself or pass it to the player who passes the ball, just like he did in the Suns. The second style of play is similar to the front, and the latter is changed to Ji Guoqiu and pulls down the high position to support him. The Fox's younger brother cuts inward, Nash passes the ball and pulls out, and other Canadian players are waiting for three-pointers at open positions, which is a bit like the Clippers' tactic; the last tactic is that the whole team gives Ji Guomo without the ball cover, letting the Fox play the ball without the ball, and runs out for the ball to catch the ball and shoot.
Many fans saw Canada's playing style and felt that their sets of tactics were simply a mixture of the Suns and the Clippers. The Big Three, one set of personal tactics, made up the four-dimensional ones.
Experts have a more reliable opinion. They believe that players like Nash and the Twins are tactics themselves. The Suns and Clippers’ tactics are originally tailor-made for them, so no matter where they go, they are naturally similar in tactics. The same is true for players like Kobe and James. They still play the same way in other teams, and the tactics should be suitable for them, not for them to adapt to a certain tactic.
Why do stars gather together and never have a good ending?
It is because of the conflict between the two systems that conflict with each other, and it would be strange if this team does not die!
Nash and the twins have many similarities in their fighting style, so the combination of the two has a good chemical reaction.
Canada took only half a quarter to lead Nigeria, and the 13:2 shock wave at the beginning made the African guys dizzy as soon as they got up.
The three NBA stars only played half of each quarter. After three quarters, Canada has already led Nigeria by 30 points.
In the fourth quarter, the three did not play again, and the final score was 103:61, Canada defeated Nigeria by 42 points, easily winning the first undraft.
Nash played for 14 minutes, contributing 8 points and 6 assists, Ji Guoqiu played for 14 minutes, contributing 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Ji Guomiang played for 14 minutes, contributing 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks.
In fact, nothing can be seen in this game. Nigeria is too weak, and even the African guys cannot complete the task of touchstone. Nash and the twin brothers are like going up for a walk, killing their opponents without sweating much.
After the game, Nash said in an interview that he and the twins had no trouble cooperating. Although they only played two training games together before the game, they seemed to have played the ball together for a long time in the game.
Triano also said: "Fox and Panda have just finished the finals for less than two weeks and are not physically strong. Our training intensity will not be too high in the future. We mainly focus on strengthening the cooperation between the twins and Nash. These two undrafts are very important to them. The formal game will help them improve the team's chemistry and tacit understanding."
A Canadian reporter asked the two brothers after the game: Do you have the ambition to win the Olympic gold medal after winning the championship and become an unprecedented double champion?
Ji Guochou smiled and said: "No matter what kind of competition, it is very difficult to win the championship, but the championship is addictive. Since we have participated in the competition, the goal is of course the championship. We will work hard for victory and hope to get the best results."
