"Fox, panda, welcome to the team, I haven't been here in a long time, but it's okay to introduce you to your new teammates."

Nash joined the team two days early, and this year the Canadian team is going through a generational change, and many of the new teammates don't even know Nash.

The two brothers followed Nash into the training gym and greeted their new teammates for the national team one by one. Bonner and Joel. Anthony, the rest of the two brothers did not know each other, and they had never heard of it.

"Hi FOX, I'm your fan, can we have a picture?"

Andy, who is playing in the NCAA Collegiate League. Lautings said to Ji Guoyi with an excited face, this guy's tone of speech is simply too polite, at first glance, he is a little kid who has never seen the world, just like a brainless fan who is as excited as he meets his idol.

"That's so polite, we're teammates now, of course." Ji Guoyi smiled and pretended to be old, in fact, he was one year younger than the other party, and he was in his third year of college.

"You're a panda? I'm sorry I really don't recognize which of you is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, but we all watched the finals, and your table is really amazing and amazing. "Oulu of the Playing and Development League. Famtimi also stepped forward enthusiastically and said that he and fellow Development Alliance Aaron Murphy said. Donacamp is barely enough to be an NB* player in one area, and the two have also been on short-term contracts with NBA teams, which are the kind of ten days.

In addition to the Big Three, there are really not many other powerful players in the Canadian team. Lautings is quite good and can shoot a three-pointer. Oulu who plays in the Development League. Famtimi and Aaron. Donacan is also a bit of a specialty, with two NBA players left, Matt Brown. Bonner and Joel. Anthony is the two strongest in addition to their three stars, and Canada basically has some strength in these players, and the rest are all made up.

Canada's 12-man squad has been decided:

PG: Steve. Nash, Jamil. Anderson

SG: Andy. Lautings, Aron. Donacamp, Ryan. bel

SF: Oulu. Famtimi, Jammeen. Bochna

PF: Ji Guoyi, Matt Bonner,

C: Ji Guoqiu, Joel. Anthony, Philip. Martin

The two brothers parachuted into the Canadian team with the honor of the Finals champion, which is completely different from when they first arrived at the Clippers, these teammates look at them with idol eyes, most of them don't even have the strength of NBA water cooler players, and now they can play with two-time MVP and Finals MVP, it's simply flattering!

The head coach of the Canadian men's basketball team is retired player Jay Brown. Triano, who served as the head coach of the Canadian men's basketball team at the Athens Olympics in '04, has a good relationship with Nash, and has been an assistant coach with the Raptors for the past two seasons, and the Canadian Basketball Association hired him back to the head coach position after the NBA season in '07-08.

Triano is not young, at the age of 50, he has a lot of coaching experience, and the Canadian Basketball Association believes that Triano, who has dual experience as a national team coach and an NBA coach, can better use three NBA stars.

In the past few days, the two brothers have had a simple joint practice with the team, accepted several interviews with Canadian media in their spare time, and expressed their goal of reaching at least the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.

As a Canadian team with the inner core of the championship team + two-time MVP, although the strength of other players is average, the Canadian team with only these three giants is strong enough in the Olympic Games, so the goal set is not too much, and entering the semi-finals is a more pragmatic plan for Canada.

Their business team also began to divide into two ways, receiving a lot of endorsements for the two in China and Canada, most of which were small contracts that did not require two people to shoot commercials, but there were also a few large contracts in them.

After the playoffs, Ji Guoqiu newly endorsed Manulife Insurance Canada (6 million US dollars in 2 years), Haier (60 million yuan in 3 years), China Southern Airlines (30 million yuan in 2 years), KFC (8 million US dollars in 3 years), and Brother Panda These four contracts are about 50 times higher than the previous endorsement price.

Ji Guozhi endorsed Pan Western Life Insurance Company of Canada ($6 million for 2 years), Whirlpool ($10 million for 3 years), Air Canada International ($5 million for 2 years), McDonald's ($8 million for 3 years), Ferrero ($8 million for 3 years), and the endorsement fee for the fox brother also increased by 50.

The two now add up all the large endorsement contracts, the elder brother's annual income is $32 million before tax, and the younger brother earns $33 million before tax, plus more than 30 various small contracts per person, as well as a pitiful rookie salary, which adds up to more than $40 million. Three years later, when they sign their second NBA contract, and when their earlier commercial contracts expire and are re-signed, they will easily earn more than 60 million, and becoming the highest-paid player in the NBA is not a dream.

Canada's first Olympic qualifying match will take place on June 25 against rivals Nigeria at the Toronto Raptors' home stadium at the Canadian Aviation Centre Arena.

Taylor. Swift and Christine followed their boyfriends to Canada, half traveling and half watching the game.

The panda made an excuse not to take Emma this time. Roberts came, of course the latter was not happy, but Ji Guoqiu used the excuse that he would only play for a few minutes, plus "Angry Birds" was about to go on sale, and she needed to stay in Los Angeles to keep an eye at this time, these two reasons added up to quite enough.

Nigeria doesn't have any stars to name out for, African countries are good in football, but they are average in basketball, and even Asian teams can't compare. Basketball has extremely high requirements for both physical and technical aspects, both of which are indispensable, even if African teams have racial advantages, but they lack formal training and nutrition the day after tomorrow, and they can't play only by talent.

Due to the short training time, the Canadian team can only set up the team's tactics according to the NBA style of play that the three stars are used to, which is basically a back-and-forth blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, which is completely executed by the talent of Nash and the twin brothers. Lao Gin will often direct the team according to the tactics he is familiar with in the Suns, and the two brothers are not uncomfortable with this, it seems that the three of them cooperate well, and Nash also completely treats the two as Xiao Si to pass the ball.

On June 25, the Olympic qualifying match in Toronto attracted 19,800 Canadian fans who couldn't wait to see what Nash and the twins would look like.

As a result, Raptors fans said that this is no different from watching the Suns and Clippers play, it is completely a small-ball tactic plus a variety of blocking and blind running messy play, especially a lot of fast offense, advocating offense, and it is no problem to say that it is a bombardment.

This kind of pure, blood-pumping offensive basketball can only be described in two words, and that is - gorgeous.

The cooperation between Nash and the twins went smoothly, and it took less than ten seconds to complete an attack, and the team's offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast, just like the police movies in the golden age of Hong Kong films, with no rest time at all, which made people feel refreshed from beginning to end.

The tactics used by Canada against Nigeria are also simple and excessive, basically two or three routines are used back and forth. Of course, this has to do with the fact that the opponent is too weak, and it doesn't take much cooperation to penetrate Nigeria's defense, which is not at the same level as Canada, and can play a disparity score at will, and many people who follow this game can't see where Canada's ceiling is?

In this game, the most common tactic is that Nash quickly presses to the frontcourt, and the twins come out to play blocking and dismantling with Nash, and the latter can easily break in and attack by himself, or pass to the next player, just like he did in the Suns; The second style of play is similar to the front, the back is changed to Ji Guoqiu to pull down the high post after blocking and dismantling, the fox brother cuts inside, Nash pulls out after passing, and other Canadian players wait for the empty three-point, which is a bit like the Clippers' tactics; The last tactic is to give Ji Guo shame a no-ball cover for the whole team, let the little fox play a no-ball tactic, and run out of the air to catch and shoot.

When many fans saw Canada's style of play, they felt that their tactics were simply a mix of the Suns and the Clippers, and the Big Three had a set of individual tactics, and the four were not like the four that were put together.

Experts are more reliable, and they believe that players like Nash and the twins are tactics in themselves. The tactics of the Suns and Clippers were originally tailor-made for them, so no matter where they go, the tactics are naturally similar. It's the same with Kobe Bryant and James, they still play the same way to other teams, and the tactics should suit them, not them to adapt to a certain tactic.

Why does it always end well when stars get together?

It's because of the conflict between each other's playing styles and the collision of the two systems, it's no wonder that this team doesn't die!

Nash and the twins have a lot in common, so the fusion of the two creates a good chemistry.

Canada led Nigeria by 11 points in just half a quarter, and the shock wave of 13:2 in the opening game made the African boys dizzy as soon as they came up.

The three NBA stars played only half of each quarter, and after three quarters, Canada had a 30-point lead over Nigeria.

In the fourth quarter, the three did not play again, and the final score was 103:61, and Canada beat Nigeria by 42 points, easily winning the first qualifying game.

Nash played 14 minutes and contributed 8 points and 6 assists, Ji Guoqiu played 14 minutes and contributed 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu played 14 minutes and contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks.

In fact, nothing can be seen in this game, Nigeria is too weak to even complete the task of the touchstone, and Nash and the twin brothers are like going up for a walk in this game, and they killed their opponents without sweating much.

After the game, Nash said in an interview that he and the twins had no trouble working together, and that although they had only played two practice games together before the game, they played like they had played together for a long time.

Triano also said: "FOX and panda have just played the finals for less than two weeks, and the physical lì is not enough, so we will not train too intensively, mainly to strengthen the cooperation between the twins and Nash. These two qualifying games are important to them, and the official games will help them improve the team's chemistry and chemistry. ”

The Canadian reporter asked the two brothers after the race: Do you have any ambitions to win the overall championship and then win the Olympic gold medal and become an unprecedented double champion?

Ji Guoqiu said with a smile: "No matter what the competition, it is very difficult to win the championship, but the championship is addictive, since we participated in the competition, the goal is of course the championship, we will work hard for victory, hoping to get the best result." ”

Ji Guo's shameful answer was a little arrogant, and he directly announced his goal: "I didn't get the FMVP in the playoffs, and now I'm very unhappy, so the Olympic scoring champion is mine, and the Olympic MVP is also mine, all mine." ”R1152
