Chapter 811 Where Will An Luo Go?
The International Men's Basketball World Cup, which lasted for half a month, came to an end.The host Tianchao men's basketball team has become the biggest winner. Whether it is the World Cup champion at the team level or the best team in the World Cup at the player level, the best player in the World Cup finals, and the World Cup Most Valuable Player, this team has all deserved it. have to.
Compared with the beginning of this World Cup, the final result is indeed unexpected, but everyone is satisfied.In fact, as early as 11 years ago, Tianchao fans were looking forward to seeing such a scene: Tianchao men's basketball team made breakthroughs in top international competitions, and it would be best to win medals.It's a pity that in that Olympic Games at home, the players of the Tianchao men's basketball team still failed to break the curse of the World Series quarterfinals.
The Tianchao men's basketball team has always lacked a superstar who can stand up at critical moments and use his own strength to help the team win the game.Hu Weidong and Yao Ming were both such players back then, but they needed to do too much on the court!Rather, neither of them has the same stable and efficient scoring efficiency as An Luo.
In this regard, An Luo can be said to be more like the "first brother" of the Chinese men's basketball team than Yi Jianlian.Of course, Yi Jianlian's performance is not bad.What An Luo lacked was probably qualifications.In this regard, the entire Tianchao men's basketball team cannot compare with Yi Jianlian.Other than that, An Luo wasn't bad at all.Even if you look at all the players in the World Cup, he is indeed the most valuable player in the World Cup and the best player in the final.
Therefore, An Luo became the winner of this World Cup winner.It can even be said that he is the most successful basketball player in the world this year, bar none!
The first is his performance in the professional league. The entire NBA 2018-19 season was a very successful season for An Luo.Not only was he selected as an All-Star again, but he was also selected to the second team of the best team of the season; while successfully helping the team defend the championship this season, he was elected the most valuable player of the finals.It can be said that it is really rare for An Luo, a player whose rookie contract has not yet ended, to achieve such an achievement.Throughout the history of the NBA, there are not many such players.The current league No. 1 LeBron James failed to do it, An Luo's idol Kobe Bryant failed to do it, and the god of basketball Michael Jordan also failed to do it!
The second is the performance in this World Cup. After helping the team break through the hurdle of the top eight in the World Series in history, he passed all the way, defeated strong enemies, and finally brought this Chinese men's basketball team to the world basketball world. pinnacle.It can be said that An Luo's performance in international competitions is better than his performance in professional leagues.After all, the lineup of his Oklahoma City Thunder team is very different from that of the Chinese men's basketball team.On the road to defending the NBA title, he has many helpers.But in the Tianchao men's basketball team, he has only one Yi Jianlian.And in many cases, he has to fight alone.
Of course, this is a difficult enough thing, but also a good enough opportunity.An Luo himself also seized such an opportunity. After a World Cup was won, he not only helped the team win this World Cup, but also included the glory that all players can obtain.
An Luo, in less than three months, became the most enviable basketball player in the world.At least, that's been the case for the past year or two.
It is conceivable that after this World Cup, An Luo's career will definitely usher in a new situation.On top of that, he has one year left on his rookie contract.If the Thunder can't complete the contract extension with him ahead of schedule, An Luo will become a completely unrestricted free agent by next summer, and there may be no team that doesn't want to get him by then.
The Thunder naturally wanted to complete the contract extension with him.Not to mention An Luo's own economic value, his personal ability and playing style alone are players that every team wants.As the team that brought An Luo from the draft to the professional league, the Oklahoma City Thunder naturally have more advantages than other teams.But the problem that restricts them now is that An Luo's growth rate is too fast, so fast that they don't respect An Luo for any contract that is lower than the maximum salary.
To be able to select such a player from the draft, and the pick paid is not too high, the Thunder's luck is enough to make the other 29 teams in the league envious.Of course, the Thunder management has never let everyone down in this regard.They are always able to select the best players in the draft.But at the same time, most of these players they choose will become the objects of their brains.
The NBA's restrictions on team salaries have become a factor that many teams have to consider when forming a lineup.The team's coach naturally hopes that his lineup is as strong as possible, but the team's owner is not necessarily willing to pay so much money.At the end of the day, professional leagues are business.Although there are many owners who are avid basketball fans, no one wants to live beyond their means for years and months.Of course, it doesn't have to make money, but at least it doesn't lose money.Moreover, this alliance naturally has its rules of the game, and every participant must follow those rules.
The pressure on team salaries is one reason, and the size of the entire ball market is another important reason.While Oklahoma has a great basketball scene, it's always been a small city.When An Luo participated in the draft, he made it clear that he preferred to stay in Los Angeles.Although it is not sure whether An Luo's thinking will change after these three years of getting along, objectively speaking, Oklahoma City does not have any advantages in this regard.
Therefore, it is not an easy matter for Thunder to keep An Luo.There are even many people who think that it is impossible for them to keep An Luo. Presti should use him as a bargaining chip to trade with other teams to get the players they need before the expiration of An Luo's contract. This is the only one they can The way to stop loss.
In fact, since the finals, reporters from major mainstream media and some well-known basketball commentators have been guessing where An Luo will go.Among them, the two teams in Los Angeles have a great advantage.In addition, all teams that want to hit the championship, including several powerful teams in the East, have become An Luo's theoretical next home, regardless of whether they have enough salary space.
But speculation is speculation after all, and no one will know where An Luo will go until the last moment.
