Chapter 480 First trip to the Olympics
On July 2012, 7, Alan Anderson and the Raptors reached a contract extension agreement. The two parties signed a veteran's basic salary contract.
So far, the offseason signings of the Raptors have come to an end for the time being.After this wave of draft signings and trades, the team's book strength is naturally much better than last season.Their current lineup is as follows: Center: Bargnani, Valanciunas, Along Grey, Magloire, power forward: Amir Johnson, Ed Davis, Alan Anderson, Quincy West, small forwards: Terrence Ross, Kleiza, Tomislav Zobic, shooting guards: Yingxiong, DeRozan, Landry Fields, point guards: Jeremy Lin, Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon.
After this wave of operations, the depth of the Raptors' lineup has been greatly improved. There are strong players in every position. Except for the slightly weaker power forward position, there are strong players in other positions.Especially their back line, young and strong.
Ying Xiong is very satisfied with the actions of the Raptors in the off-season. This team is not a little rich and is content with the status quo. It is not complacent and complacent because of the huge progress made last season. It is still actively seeking reinforcements.This gave him more prospects in the new season. The just-concluded playoffs have made him hard to let go, and the feeling of being alone and helpless is really bad.In the new season, the team itself and DeRozan will continue to improve, and new aid will be in place one after another.After the run-in takes shape, this team will definitely be more terrifying than last season.
The Raptors have made frequent moves during the offseason, and other powers are also eyeing them. It is foreseeable that in the regular season of the new season, they will definitely be treated as key opponents.
Ying Xiong finished his training in early July and returned to China.
On the afternoon of July 7, the inaugural meeting of the Chinese sports delegation for the 10 London Olympic Games was held in BJ.The 2012 rosters for the Chinese men's basketball team to compete in the London Olympics were also released.
The players selected for this big list are: Ying Xiong, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhaoxu, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui, Yi Li, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua.
The men's basketball competition at the London Olympics was divided into two groups. The Chinese men's basketball team was assigned to Group B, and Russia, Britain, Spain, Australia and Brazil were also in the same group.
The basketball overlord, the US team, was placed in Group A, along with Nigeria, Tunisia, Lithuania, France and Argentina.
In the BJ Olympics in 08, Ying Xiong regretted not being able to represent the Chinese men's basketball team due to injury. This London Olympics is his first time to participate in the Olympic Games, so he is naturally excited.He decided to work with the men's basketball team and strive to achieve the best Olympic result of the men's basketball team (eighth place, won 8 times).
China men's basketball Olympic group match schedule:
July 7th 29:23 China-Spain
July 7 at 31:16 China-Russia
August 8nd at 2:18 China-Australia
August 8th 4:23 China-Brazil
August 8th at 6:23 China-UK
The arrival of Ying Xiong gave the Chinese men's basketball team a reassurance.For the leaders of the men's basketball team, seeing a lively Ying Xiong is more important than anything else at this stage.Ying Xiong's performance at the World Championships in Türkiye is still vivid.His strength no longer needs to be proved by competitions such as the Stankovic Cup.Not to mention that he has transformed again this season and has become an even more terrifying player.
And Huade Deng, coach of the men's basketball team of China, was overwhelmed with excitement after learning that Ying Xiong had returned to the team.In the past, the national team had Yao Ming, so Yao Ming was the king in the hands of the head coach.Now that Yao Ming has retired, Ying Xiong is his king.
Ying Xiongren came to China to prepare for the Olympic Games and brought his professional team.Of course, he never engages in specialization when training with the national team. After completing the established training tasks, he will practice more.During the training of the national team, he would communicate with Wang Zhizhi, who has dreamy footwork, from time to time to study the technical issues of offensive footwork.His modesty, eagerness to learn and persistent spirit made Dazhi admire him in awe.
After Ying Xiong returned to the team, the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team was complete, and they were conducting final sprint training for the upcoming London Olympics.During this period, the issue of the Olympic flag bearer made the leadership of the men's basketball team a little tricky.
The Olympic standard bearer has been "monopolized" by the men's basketball players many years ago, and it has become a good talk for Yao Ming to serve as the flag bearer for two consecutive terms.This time, Yi Jianlian will be the Olympic standard bearer after Yao Ming retires, but the emergence of Ying Xiong made the leaders face a difficult situation.According to the previous arrangement, if Ying Xiong is unhappy, it will affect the unity of the men's basketball team.And Ying Xiong is the core of the men's basketball team. If he has ideas in the Olympics, it will be a big obstacle to the team's final good results.But if Yi Jianlian is not allowed to serve as the standard bearer, Yi Jianlian may also have ideas.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, which makes the leader not sure how to make a decision.
This incident quickly reached Yingxiong's ears. After he learned about it, he immediately told Xin Lancheng, the team leader of the men's basketball team, what he thought.
Xin Lancheng reported Ying Xiong's real thoughts to the superiors, and soon, the problem about the Olympic standard bearer was easily solved.
On July 7, the Chinese Olympic delegation officially announced that Yi Jianlian, the main player of the men's basketball team, will serve as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games.
This was originally an extremely difficult matter to solve, involving the two stars of the men's basketball team, but because of Ying Xiong's high profile, it was resolved in an instant.The resolution of this matter has invisibly improved Ying Xiong's reputation within the Chinese men's basketball team.While admiring his skills, everyone also had a higher evaluation of his character.
For Xiong, it really doesn't matter whether he is the Olympic flag bearer or not.But he didn't want to cause a thorn between himself and the UAE because of such a form. This is not the situation he wants to see.Moreover, his current main energy is preparing for the Olympic Games, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy on such trivial matters.
On July 7, the four-yearly Olympic Games officially opened at the Stratford Olympic Stadium in London, England.As a member of the Chinese delegation, Ying Xiong attended the grand opening ceremony.This is the first time in his life to participate in the Olympic Games, and the excitement and shock in his heart are unparalleled.Playing in the NBA is not only to pursue wealth, but also to realize one's basketball dream.In the Olympic Games, playing on behalf of one's motherland is more for the honor of the motherland and the people.
——This is also his first time in London...
