Li Ang applied for a transaction, and this news caused a great sensation in both the Chou Kingdom and the Flower Planters.

After all, our old Li is still a serious All-Star player at least.

Once All-Star players flow into the transfer market, they will inevitably cause an uproar.

For a moment, the teams who came to inquire broke the threshold.

But at this time, Babcock did not listen to the quotes from other teams. Instead, he reported the situation to him in front of the chairman of the board of directors of Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment Company of Canada.

"This is not a trivial matter, Rob." Entertainment chairman, namely the Raptors boss Larry Tanebaum, looked at the team general manager in front of him.

"Li Ang, you know his, he is one of our box office guarantees. At the same time, he is affecting the Chinese market." Tanebaum continued.

His family has been businessmen for three generations. As an old capitalist, Tanebaum will not let go of his own interests easily.

Unless, this will make him more profitable.

Babcock knew that this smart boss was not easy to deal with, so he had already prepared his words.

"Indeed, Leon is one of the most popular players in Toronto, and fans regard him as a hero.

But you also see that our team cannot achieve results with Li alone.

Vince will have knee surgery this summer and will miss more than half of the game next season. Even if he comes back, it will take time to find form. Can we achieve good results next season? It's difficult.

Since we can't achieve results, why don't we just give up next season and compete for the young talents in the 2003 draft?

Which one is more beneficial to us in the first round of the playoffs or a future star player?

The problem now is that Lee will be an obstacle to this plan. He refuses to play badly, and his presence will make us achieve nothing next season's results without getting better and less.

People will remember the losers, the winners, but they will not remember the person in the middle.

A record that is neither up nor down is a fatal blow to the team's profits.

If we don’t break or build, we need to find a new helper for Vince.

Lee's deal is very valuable, and I will try to get a first-round draft pick and lay a solid foundation for our 2003 draft plan.

If we can choose Bosh or Anthony and pair it with Carter, I think we will be closer to the championship in the next few years.

Li Ang is great, he is a thrilling buckle. But IMHO, he is not the kind of person who can help Carter reach the top!"

Babcock finished his own considerations. Carter just signed a six-year maximum salary contract with the team last summer, which was a considerable investment.

The team needs to take Carter as the core and win the championship in six years as much as possible.

And what is the result of the combination of Li Ang and Carter? The finals were 4-1.

If Li Ang was suspended in a critical battle, all his efforts would be wasted.

In short, Babcock no longer trusts Li Ang.

Another point is that next season is Li Ang’s contract year. Even if he is not allowed to leave this year, after playing next season, Li Ang will likely pat his butt and leave.

Babcock is not his ex-Gren Ward, and he will not make the stupid mistake of letting McGrady go for nothing.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to exchange Li Ang for something back now.

After listening to Babcock's statement, Tanebaum thought for a few minutes, and then waved his hand.

"Do as you plan, Rob."

Li Ang’s transaction officially opened the green light!

"Li, when will you return to China?" Carter looked at Li Ang who was cleaning up the house, feeling a little at a loss.

"I won't go back. I will go directly to Indianapolis to meet with the national team in a while." Li Ang shrugged.

This summer, Li Ang’s international competition task is quite large.

From the end of August to the beginning of September, the World Championships of Annapolis must be printed first. After the World Championships are played, from the end of September to the beginning of October, the Asian Games of Busan will be played again.

Two international events in one summer can be said to be very rare.

Moreover, after the 2000 Olympics, the outside world has very high expectations for this World Championship.

esPn made a vote to let fans predict who would be the champion of the Indianapolis World Championships.

The Chinese team rarely ranks fourth with a 15% support rate in history, second only to Dream Team, Yugoslavia and Canada.

Fans’ expectations are not groundless. After all, the Chinese team now has three nBa players at the same time!

Last season, Yao Ming, who was a rookie, averaged 16.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game with the Bulls, and his data was better than in the original history.

Moreover, in the first game against the Sharks, he also scored 19+9 data and led the team to defeat the Lakers!

Yao Ming's performance in nBa is better than in the original history because Li Ang helped him adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of nBa in advance, so Xiao Yao adapted faster than in the original history, almost plug-and-play as soon as he got on the field.

With the efforts of Yao Ming, Francis, Ate and Oakley, the Bulls won the ninth place in the Eastern Conference last season, and they were only one win away to enter the playoffs!

The Bulls won only 15 games in a season the previous year. After Yao Ming joined, the Bulls won 43 games in a season.

The change is so great that it can be seen with the naked eye.

Moreover, the Bulls last season were simply frightened by people.

Yao Ming and Oakley added another Tai Brave, and the entire team switched freely between playing and fighting.

The three of them always exchanged elbow skills from time to time, which made Xiao Yao's combat power even more powerful.

Li Ang averaged 21.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game last season, and averaged 20 marks per game for the first time in his career.

Although the average score is only two points higher than the 00-01 season, it is not easy to think about two points more than the 00-01 season!

Because Carter was injured and Olajuwon lost all his martial arts skills. So while Li Ang's moves increased, he also encountered stronger defenses.

Most of the time, Li Ang is the only offensive point for the Raptors.

Therefore, the other teams basically use the best defensive players to face Li Ang, and even do not hesitate to attack Li Ang.

In addition, Li Ang had not been able to hold the ball before the playoffs, so Li Ang's score was not so sensible.

Despite this, Li Ang was selected for the Best Second Team this season, squeezing Nowitzki out of his way and successfully transformed from a third-team player to a second-team player.

True, two formations at one time and three formations at one time.

But in terms of the best defensive lineup, Li Ang still failed to squeeze in for a while. It’s no wonder that Li Ang didn’t work hard, it was mainly because Garnett, Ben Ge and Duncan, the defensive ability of the three men is too strong.

Once the three of them took the position in the frontcourt, Li Ang had to settle in the second team again.

And Kobe was once again forced to be on the same level as Li Ang.

Overall, Li Ang made great progress last season.

But in Babcock's view, Li Ang's potential may have almost been realized, and Liu Bi is now.

But in fact, Li Ang knew very well that his offensive ability had ushered in a phased leap, just next season!

Because after Li Ang upgraded during the playoffs last season, he has already set his ball control ability to 81!

Li Ang upgraded three times last season, once in the first season, once in the second season, and once in the playoffs.

Three upgrades totaled 30 points, and Li Ang spent 15 of them on the ball.

The rest were 5 points to add passes and 10 points to add steals. Because Li Ang, the only big gate on the outside of the Raptors last season, steals have never been very similar.

The ball possession that has just exceeded 80 is not enough to make Li Ang the next Iverson, but he can already develop a ball-holding attack.

The real top defenders are all practicing ball control skills in the early morning!

Li Ang thinks he can learn something.

Moreover, after a season of practice, Li Ang’s big dream dance steps have basically been completed.

In conjunction with Yao Ming's training last summer, he used the master-apprentice system to pull out the silver hook badge from him.

Li Ang's offensive ability at low posts will directly rise to a higher level next season!

Low post offense + ball-holding offense have made great progress. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Ang’s offense will directly cross one level.

Not only that, Li Ang also unlocked the diamond-level "Flying Pig Tornado" badge from Barkley 2.0 last season.

The name is a bit sculpted, but the effect is very good, which can greatly increase the speed of the first step when Li Ang turns around.

In other words, at a low post next season, Li Ang is very threatening whether he is turning over and jumping, hooking or turning back to break through.

His skills are comparable to Xiaoli.

The all-round skill is the foundation for Li Ang to use a series of fake moves to tease his opponents at a low post! Because if you have defects in your ability, you cannot deceive your opponents.

For example, if you can't turn over and jump shot, then when you make fake shooting moves with your back, others won't be able to beat you at all.

It can only be said that the addition of Barkley's back-turning badge has left Li Ang with almost no shortcomings at the low position.

Unfortunately, Li Ang failed to achieve 100% completion for the first time in last season's 2.0 copy of Barkley.

Last season's dungeon corresponds to Barkley's second-year performance, with two clear tasks and one hidden task.

The two clear tasks are 20+12 per game and selected for the Best Second Team.

And that hidden mission is the second round of the Breakthrough Series.

Because in the original history, second-year Barkley was eliminated from the second round until the tiebreak.
