Averaged 30.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. This is Li Hai's performance in the five finals.
NBA President David Stern smiled happily when he presented the MVP trophy to Li Hai, "My child, I am also a New Yorker. Thank you for helping New York win another championship trophy."
Champagne, parades, revelry, enjoying the cheers of being a hero, the feeling of successfully reaching the top is unparalleled, and you will never feel this sense of accomplishment without experiencing it.
In the next few days, apart from the regular training that Li Hai insisted on every day, he was celebrating with his friends.
After the playoffs, the World Championships will follow. The national team's training camp has already started last month. Li Hai's situation is special, so he is not required to report immediately.
He thought about it, and decided to wait until the draft ended in July before reporting to the national team. In the past ten days, while adjusting his physical condition, he also cared about the company's affairs.
This year, the Knicks' own draft picks were traded out, but they got two first-round picks from the Spurs and the Raptors, which are 29th and 20th respectively. Isiah Thomas should be interested in picking again, and Li Hai is temporarily If you can't participate in the operation of the team, you don't have to worry about it.
But because of his outstanding performance, some rookies expressed their willingness to work in the same management company as the finals MVP, but some well-known rookies have long flirted with some big companies, fearing that the fish would not be too big to take the bait.
Li Hai also considered lobbying in person, but in the end he rejected this idea. He should not be too involved in the company's affairs, and what he should do is to play well.
The main lineup for the Knicks to win the championship this summer is still under contract. Only some marginal players whose contracts have expired will basically not renew their contracts. Players need to find insiders who are good at defense, pure point guard substitutes, and Li Hai's substitutes. .
As for Jaylen Rose, one of the main rotation personnel, after the last year of the big contract, he already has plans to retire. If the Knicks offer a suitable contract to keep him, he will definitely stay, but it is given Not a lot of money.
So in the draft, striker swingman Reinaldo Balkman and combo guard Marty Collins were picked. Of course, the New Yorker was picked with a slightly better pick, which is considered a Knicks tradition. .
But this time Isiah Thomas was blind, although he is very complacent now.
In Li Hai's list for Fatty, before the draft, Holt Eddy got Kyle Lowry when the playoffs were in full swing. After the draft, he signed Paul Millsap, who was eager to play in the second round. , and signed the unsuccessful Jose Barea on the grounds of helping him find a job.
He didn't get a bigger surprise, but it was definitely worth it to sign the three players who had a relatively long athletic life and could play well. Li Hai gave Fatty some advice, and returned to China with Xia Weiliang.
Xia Weiliang has officially graduated, and she also plans to take it easy for a while to make up for the busy time before. She doesn't lead the players in the company, but she is not as busy as Holt Eddie. When I go back, I can watch the game again when it comes to the World Championships.
Xia Weiliang agreed to join the company because the two of them can spend more time together, and usually they will have common topics, and it is enough to grasp the general direction of development. If they are so busy that they can't be together most of the time, it will be putting the cart before the horse. up.
Li Hai returned to the country a little earlier, and after visiting some acquaintances in his hometown, he went on a trip with Xia Weiliang. By the way, he saw a few classmates who were already working, especially those from the former school team. It was also very happy to see them again .
In mid-July, Li Hai and Yao Ming joined the national team.
Most of the national team are old faces, there are only two newcomers, one is the defender Chen Jianghua, and the other is the old rookie Wang Zhizhi who has returned to the team.
If Li Hai had little seniority in the national team last year, there is nothing to say this year. The absolute core figure, the championship and the MVP of the finals gave him a lot of points.
In addition to the daily training in the national team, Li Hai discussed tactics with the head coach Yunus whenever he had time, and continued to use his style of playing one big and four small.
In terms of the characteristics of the Chinese team, Li Hai really felt that Yao Ming's tactic of fighting inside and three three-point shooters outside was the simplest and most effective.
Howard led the team to the finals that year, the magic team's lineup was really just average. If the Chinese team does well, it can definitely create miracles.
Li Hai's status in the national team is irrelevant now. He said that the team will definitely consider it, but the extent to which it can be achieved is beyond his control.
This year's World Championships is held in Japan, and the Chinese team has escaped the suffering of jet lag. Before going to Japan, the Stankovic Cup is undoubtedly another important training.
Because of the World Championships, this year's Stankovic Cup finally has some real guys.
Nowitzki, who just fought against Lehi in the finals of the German team, last season's No. Riaf, Michael Pietrus, Dio, and Li Hai knew that in another time and space, they won the Stankovic Cup first, and then they defeated Greece in the United States in the World Championships. Spanoulis in their team It will also soon become teammates with Yao Ming.
The six teams are divided into two groups, first in the group cycle, and then in qualifying.
The Chinese team is in a group with Germany and Brazil. The first game is the German team led by Nowitzki.
The starting players of the Chinese team are Sun Yue, Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming. In fact, apart from the starting positions of Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu and Yao Ming, the positions of point guard and power forward are still under investigation. Liu Wei and Wang Zhizhi is still adjusting his physical condition, and it is very likely that the two of them will start in the World Championships.
There is only one week before the World Championships, and the two sides also attach great importance to the game. After the game started, Li Hai assisted Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming to score inside, helping the Chinese team take the lead.
Li Hai played these two goals very comfortably. There is nothing to say about the inside line of the Chinese team, which is better than that kid Eddie Curry. He will try his best to make up for the disadvantages of the team's outside line.
The Chinese team does not need Li Hai to defend Nowitzki, he only needs to do a good job in scoring and organizing.
After the opening three-point line, Li Hai received a pass from Sun Yue, went straight to the inside and dunked even though the opponent had already pulled people, which instantly ignited the home audience of Nanjing Olympic Sports Center.
At 13:5, the Chinese team made a strong start, telling everyone that their strength is really different.
