Chapter 859: Don't pick up the plane
After getting Lowe, the Mavericks didn't make a big trade.
Instead, he used this year's draft picks to get two rookies. One is the interior power forward Tress, who is fast but has poor offensive ability, and the template is Delamont Green. The other is the striker Millis, who is close to 2 meters tall, who is also physically excellent, can defend, and has poor offensive ability.
Both are on 1+1 contracts, and if they don't work, they will be laid off next year.
In this way, the Mavericks' lineup is finally decided.
Inside, Gobert, Nurkic, McGee, Dirk Nowvis, Tres.
Among them, Cousins left after his contract expired, and after winning the championship, Cousins wanted a big contract, and the Mavericks couldn't give him even 10 million annual contracts, so there was no way to keep him.
This kind of inside line is a bit weak.
Fortunately, Nurkic won't fall behind against most teams, so it's okay.
It's just that the substitutes are Dek Nowitzki and newcomer Tress are a bit miserable.
Outside, Qin Yang, Paul George, Corey Brewer, Louis Williams, Seth Curry, Belinelli, Brogdon, Millis.
The outside lineup isn't bad either.
But compared to the depth of the roster in previous years, the Mavericks have dropped significantly.
At the beginning, Cory Brewer was squeezed on the bench and did not have a chance to play, but now he is about to take on the main role.
The Mavericks' lineup looks like it's getting weaker.
But realistically, it's a good thing.
Fewer players means more players have the opportunity to play, which makes it easier for the team to stay competitive.
After a month off.
On July 22, Qin Yang flew to Yanjing to participate in the NBA's promotion activities in China.
The promotion activities were carried out at the same time, with Qin Yang, Durant, Curry, and James in different cities.
Qin Yang is in Yanjing.
And the place is the Workers' Stadium.
As soon as Qin Yang got off the plane, he was welcomed by the fans, because the league had already made the time of the event public.
When Qin Yang got off the plane, there was a group of fans picking up the plane outside.
Qin Yang stepped off the plane and waved to the fans, and the scene was full of cheers.
The CCV Sports Channel reporter followed the interview, and Qin Yang hurriedly high-fived the fans under the leadership of the bodyguard and left, without signing an autograph or playing a big name.
Sitting in the car, the CCV reporter conducted an interview.
Qin Yang also answered the fans' questions very plainly:
"I was surprised that so many fans came to see me at the airport and thank them for their support, but I think I don't want to do that in the future. Because there is no point in doing this, it is better to exercise more and read more books if you have time. ”
Qin Yang's words made the reporter very confused: "Why do you say that? ”
Qin Yang replied: "There is a saying called empathy, I am such a person, even if I like a certain star, a certain star or a singer, I will watch his games and listen to his music, but I will not pick up the airport, or spend my precious time to do things that I should not do." ”
"I want my fans to be like me, we're all equals, I'm not any better than my fans except for being better at playing, they don't have to walk a few hours to get here just to see me, it's worth the loss."
Qin Yang's answer surprised the reporter.
Because other stars and football stars will only think that there are fewer people who come to pick up the airport, and the more people there are, the more convenient it is for them to put up a shelf and pretend to be awesome.
But Qin Yang won't.
After a short time on the road, Qin Yang answered some other questions:
"I don't spend much time back home every year, not because I'm not patriotic, but because I'm too busy. With no injuries in my spare range, I only have three months off each offseason, and this is the only annual leave I have in a year. ”
"I won't participate in Asian-level competitions, it's a waste of time for me, and the Chinese basketball team needs this kind of competition to hone themselves, as for my advice to the CBA, I will talk to Yao Ming next."
"It's still early for me to retire, I rarely get hurt, I'm very consistent, I'm going to be able to stay in shape when I'm 40, but I'm definitely not over 40 because I want to give it to Deknowitski."
"Maybe I'll go back to China after I retire, but that's uncertain, it depends on the children's opinions. I don't know if my child will play basketball in the future, but I certainly hope that he will inherit my skills. ”
The next day, the Workers' Stadium was filled with jubilation.
Qin Yang interacted with the fans, and Mr. Wei Ping even called six high school students from a famous high school in Beijing.
"Qin Yang, there are six high school students here now, please give them some guidance on the spot."
It was an event on site.
If the NBA wants to develop the Chinese market, it must keep up with the trend and start with children.
Qin Yang stood in the middle of the six children and looked at it.
"First of all, everyone dribbles for 30 seconds and completes three-pointers and mid-range shots from various positions."
Qin Yang commanded.
The six fourteen or fifteen-year-olds all dribbled obediently and then lined up to shoot three-pointers and mid-range.
Not to mention, although it was under the gaze of many people at the scene, the six high school students all performed well.
The dribbling is skillful, the shooting is decent, and the shooting percentage is good.
After a lap, the six people also won a lot of applause.
Qin Yang called one of them, who was one meter nine tall, to come out; "Now play against me, dribble and shoot threes."
This 1.9-meter-high school grows very handsomely, and the dribbling is also very chic and skillful.
But when paired with Qin Yang, the gap came out.
Qin Yang was very relaxed, and he opened with a crisp steal. Because the frequency of the latter's dribbling is very slow, he has to fight back with an angry crotch, and he steals directly after being predicted by Qin Yang.
After the steal, Qin Yang slapped the ball back again:
"Go on!"
The layman can't see the gap between the brief counterpoints this time, but Mr. Wei Ping can see it clearly.
Not at all a level.
The high school student dribbled very carefully this time, not giving Qin Yang a chance to steal, and then shook out a little space before making a shot.
But...... Qin Yang directly reached out and grabbed the shot.
There was no jump at all.
It feels like Ultraman fighting monsters, it's too easy.
This cap, the scene was amazed.
Qin Yang slapped the ball over and said, "Go on!" ”
The two continued to face each other, and this time, everyone could see that Qin Yang was releasing water, but the opposing high school student shot 8 times in a row, and only 1 hit.
In other words, the high school students hit Qin Yang 10 times, and barely hit 1 time under Qin Yang's release.
After playing this ball, Qin Yang stopped this person.
"I can talk about your shortcomings now."
