Shohei Ohtani, the "second knife runner" of the Angels, hit the 40th bomb of the season the day before yesterday, and even pitched four innings without losing points. Unfortunately, the bullpen was weak and the sailors won 5-3. Otani was also photographed in the rest area fighting back tears and looking at the court. Some fans pointed out that Otani is a person who can express his feelings, like wiping his tears when he won the championship in the classic. This is just an ordinary regular season in early August, but it is not the first time that his hard work can’t save the team’s frustration.

USA-Today writer Charles Curtis analyzed: "Did Otani play the best season in major league history? His current WAR (Winning Contribution) is 8.7, which leads the league, and his single-season record is 11.9 in the year of Barry Bonds’ 73 boom. But seeing Otani’s performance and other data with his own eyes, his home run, third base hit, long hit rate, attack index, base hit number, standardized attack index, four bad walks and base attendance rate are all the highest in the American League. 」

This article believes that Otani’s performance this season can be described as the best in history. Angels may not make the playoffs. Although it is only early August, it can’t be asserted, but the situation seems very bad. Fans lamented on the Internet that Otani was an unprecedented first-class player, but it would certainly feel wronged to waste the peak season of his career on a team that could not compete for the championship. Some fans jokingly wrote: "He couldn’t help crying because he thought that he would stay in the angel after the trading deadline. 」

There are three teams, the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Mariners, standing in the way between the Angel and the last seat of the American League wild card, but it’s not impossible to catch up. The Angel also strengthened before the trade deadline, and it will take some time to see the effect.

Curry revealed the outlook for next season: Paul joined, and the lineup adjustment is highly anticipated.

Curry mentioned next season, and his outlook for the team is exciting!

1. Regarding the joining of Paul, this experienced point guard will bring more depth to the team and make the lineup more reasonable and balanced. Paul’s leadership and organizational skills will add a lot of color to the team.

2. The continuous adjustment of the lineup is normal, but every player is showing his important value. This attitude of teamwork and positive contribution of the players will undoubtedly bring hope to the future of the team.

Although the team as a whole is improving, the biggest problem of the current lineup is the lack of big players, which is a fatal problem. This will bring some challenges against teams with strong insiders such as Nuggets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Grizzlies, Celtics and Bucks. Facing these teams, their tactics and defensive strategies need to be adjusted accordingly, such as strengthening perimeter defense, finding rebounding advantages and improving fast break efficiency to make up for the shortage of inside lines.

Howard: Harden is a younger Kobe. I could have stayed with the Lakers longer.

Howard

Dwight Howard, whose name was once a big MAC in the NBA, was a common rival of Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant. However, time flies and Howard’s career has experienced ups and downs. Recently, he talked about James Harden in a program and evaluated his cooperation with Kobe.

Howard said that he regards James Harden as a younger Kobe Bryant. Although he didn’t mean to disrespect James, at that time he felt that his combination with James could become a new OK combination. He believes that cooperation with James will be better than cooperation with Kobe. If he can carefully consider his decision without emotion, he will probably stay with the Lakers.

Recalling the 2012-13 season, Howard and Kobe only cooperated for one season, and then they had an open conflict. Howard accused Kobe of being a "bully", while Kobe retorted that Howard was not tough enough. In the offseason in 2013, Howard chose to join the Rockets and became a teammate with James Harden.

However, the cooperation between Howard and Harden did not achieve much success. Although Harden gradually played the level of a historical offensive player, Howard began to decline seriously from the Lakers period. His personal level and reputation plummeted, and he finally joined the Eagle in 2016 and began his wandering career.

Last season, Howard moved to Taiwan Province League in China, trying to find himself. However, although he used to be the top center in NBA, the passage of time and his own changes have made the world of Warcraft in the inside thread a memory.

For Howard, his career is full of regrets and possibilities. If he can get better cooperation with Kobe Bryant and Harden respectively, or be more stable during the Lakers period, his career may be different. However, the reality is cruel, and now Howard needs to face his own decline and new challenges.

Nevertheless, Howard’s experience is still instructive to many fans. His career tells us that even in the face of difficulties and challenges, we need to stick to our beliefs and try to find ways to cooperate with others in order to succeed. Although Howard’s career can no longer be brilliant, his story is still worth remembering and thinking about.

Two contracts were signed overnight! Dongqiqi was injured, Davis was the first in history, and the Lakers became the winner.

On August 5th, Beijing time, news came from the NBA free market, and two contracts were signed, among which Nilikina signed the Hornets for a part of the one-year guarantee contract, and Davis reached an early contract renewal with the Lakers, among which Davis also set a record for the first time in history. Dancsics was almost injured in the warm-up match of the national team, and the Lakers gained a lot in this offseason and became the winner.

According to Woj, free agent Nilikina signed the Hornets on a one-year partial guarantee contract.

Nilikina also almost left the NBA. Before he got the Hornets contract, he also received an offer from the French team. He played for the Lone Ranger last season, averaging 13 minutes per game, only contributing 2.9 points and 1.2 assists. He also failed to get the team’s contract renewal, and it is unknown whether he can stay with the Hornets this time.

The Lakers reached an early contract renewal with Davis, and the two sides signed a three-year $186 million contract. There were media reports last month that the Lakers would not offer Davis an early contract renewal. I didn’t expect this to be reached. Among them, the Lakers were full of sincerity, and Davis naturally had no reason to refuse. With the renewal of the contract, Davis’ contract will expire in 2028, when he is 35 years old and will basically stay in Los Angeles. Davis’s performance on the court is still very good, so his attendance rate is a little bad. Once he can stay healthy, he even has the opportunity to hit the MVP.

As Davis reached this contract, he became the first person in history, surpassing Jay Brown, with an average salary of 62 million dollars. With the general increase in league salaries, these records will be constantly refreshed. Brown has just signed the first contract in history that exceeds 300 million US dollars, and then it may be 400 million US dollars, and the annual salary may exceed 70 million US dollars.

Dancsics is preparing for the men’s basketball World Cup on behalf of Slovenia, but in the warm-up match with Greece, his knee went wrong, he collided with his opponent in the first half, then limped off and rested, and he didn’t play in the second half. For this situation, the team is also very cautious. Fortunately, there is no serious problem. If Dancsics is injured at this time, it will not only affect the Slovenian prospects, but also get the lone ranger into trouble.

After successfully renewing the contract with Davis, the Lakers’ operation this summer is still very smooth, and the depth of the lineup has been successfully improved. The new season is still worth looking forward to. This summer, the Lakers not only renewed Russell, Reeves and Hacun, but also signed Vincent, Prince, Hayes and Reddish, plus James and Davis, as well as Vanderbilt, which has the opportunity to become a favorite for the championship.

Warriors Clippers reached a 3-for-1 deal! George teamed up with Curry! Paul returned to Los Angeles.

The Warriors Clippers reached a three-for-one deal, and George teamed up with Curry Paul to return to Los Angeles. With the deepening of Hugh Secchi, many teams have completed the reinforcement of their lineup. For the Golden State Warriors, their lineup is not perfect enough.

I have to admit that Chris Paul still has some trading value on the court, and many players played in his series for the Suns last season, and Booker is very grateful to Paul.

He said, in fact, when I was young, I learned to play like Paul, but I never had the opportunity to join hands with him. After joining hands with him, I also made up for my previous organizational deficiencies, and he will become one of the most important teachers in my basketball career. Paul himself must be very happy to have such praise.

According to saxophone, the management of Golden State Warriors is currently in contact with the management of Clippers, and they seem to want Paul George very much. The Los Angeles Clippers also think they need a mature point guard, so the Warriors may exchange Chris Paul for Paul George. What do you think of this deal?

186 million dollars in 3 years! Why did the Lakers renew Davis’ contract in advance with a super maximum salary?

Anthony davis signed a three-year, $186 million contract with the Lakers. After reaching this contract, Davis’ contract will expire in the summer of 2028, with a total value of more than $270 million. The average annual renewal contract is $62 million, which is the highest in NBA history, higher than Jaylen Brown’s new contract, which is $304 million in five years and $60.8 million in an average year. If Davis keeps playing 60 games every season, his average salary will exceed $1 million during the renewal period.

Why did the Lakers renew Davis’ contract in advance?

In the regular season of 2022-23, Davis averaged 34 minutes per game, scoring 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks.

The record of averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single season is the third player in the history of the Lakers to achieve this achievement, second only to Shaq O ‘Neal and Tiangou Jabbar.

Davis has averaged 24.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game since his Lakers career. He has a championship and two All-Stars, and has the best lineup and the best defensive lineup.

Pelinka, the general manager of the Lakers, thinks that Davis is the best player in the Lakers, an incredible captain and leader, and the main reason why the Lakers can win the championship in 2020. At the same time, in order to make the team enter the Western Conference finals last season, he is willing to continue playing with a foot injury. Therefore, Pelinka naturally hopes that Davis can stay with the Lakers.

As a two-way business alliance, if one side of the team fails to provide a suitable offer for contract renewal, the players with outstanding performance may naturally jump out of the contract to exert pressure, and it may be even more difficult to renew the contract without paying the maximum salary in advance. And considering that James is 39 years old, Davis’ early contract renewal can cover the rest of James’ career. In addition, Davis will consider his own injuries, and the benefits of renewing the contract in advance definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

So naturally Davis can renew his contract in advance during the offseason.

After renewing Davis’ contract in advance, the Lakers’ transactions since the offseason are as follows: renewing Davis’ contract in advance, renewing Russell’s contract, eight village bases and Reeves’ contract, and signing Vincent, Prince, Reddish and Hayes. During the offseason, we don’t make drastic changes to the team’s personnel list, keep the Western Conference lineup, win practical players, and make the lineup more reasonable.

The operation of the Lakers in the offseason is really commendable. To what extent do you think the Lakers’ record will be next season? Did you win the championship, win the Western Conference, have a second tour, have a first tour, or failed to enter the playoffs?

China men’s basketball team won by 20 points, Cui Yongxi and Wang Zhelin played well, and they will play against strong European teams.

Li Kaier definitely won’t play in the China men’s basketball match against Cape Verde. Cape Verde’s strength is not bad, and it is a positive team in the World Cup. Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao and Sun Minghui had a truce, Zhao Jiwei was put on the bench, and Zhao Rui took the place in the starting lineup.

Four teams from Italy, China, Cape Verde and Turkey participated in the Trentino Cup. The competition lasted for two days, and the winner of the first day will play the final the next day.

Qi zhou scored the first goal in the basket, Zhou Peng fouled twice in a row, and tavares, the first center in the Champions League basketball game, played. His height reached 221cm, and qi zhou had no advantage over him. The opposite three points are very stable, and the difference is opened to ten. He Xining, Zhang Zhenlin and Zhu Junlong successively hit three points and scored a wave of 11-0 lead!

Hu Jinqiu and Wang Zhelin played at the same time, Wang Zhelin scored 2+1 at the basket, and then made four consecutive fouls and made one penalty. In the first quarter, China led by 4 points.

Hu Jinqiu hit a 3-pointer from the bottom corner, Zhao Jiwei was knocked down by Correa for a layup, and Zhang Zhenlin directly plugged Zhao Rui into the inside and scored easily. The opponent’s defensive strength has improved, and the score difference is shrinking. Qi zhou stepped out in time to beat tavares to the basket. A bunch of walking players in Cape Verde made a lot of mistakes.

Zhao Jiwei was blocked by his opponent, Fang Shuo hit a three-pointer on the buzzer, and China led by seven points at half-time.

Cui Yongxi’s soft touch hit the first goal in the second half, and Zhao Jiwei once again helped Cui Yongxi to smash in the air! Very hot! The opponent also hit three three-pointers. After playing, Wang Zhelin succeeded in continuous attack, and Fang Shuo scored 2+1. Both teams were efficient in attack. Zhu Junlong and Fang Shuo hit three points successively, among which Fang Shuo scored another three points! China has led by 17 points after three quarters.

Zhang Zhenlin made an empty layup, Cui Yongxi made a wonderful breakthrough on the pull rod and made a counter-layup. The opponent hit three points in a row and the momentum of chasing points was very strong. Cui Yongxi hit a key three-pointer, and he and Zhang Zhenlin were really surprises for the men’s basketball team. Cui Yongxi dunked again and became the last thigh. Hu Mingxuan also ushered in the opportunity to play, and Cui Yongxi scored three points again. There are too many differences. qi zhou and Wang Zhe are not even on the team. We use substitute players such as He Xining, Hu Mingxuan and Fu Hao. Fu Hao also hit a three-pointer, and the game was decided.

In the end, China won a big victory 86-66!Among them, the third section has great advantages. In this game, both Wang Zhelin and Cui Yongxi played well, and Cui Yongxi alone could cut out five excellent goals. This game also basically laid a place in Cui Yongxi’s 12-person list! The next game is likely to be against Italy, a strong European team. It is also possible that Li Kaier stayed against Italy, so he didn’t play in this game.

As there is no technical statistics released for the time being, it will take some time to have more specific information.

China team starting: Zhao Rui, Cui Yongxi, Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin and qi zhou.

The wall fell and everyone pushed! Buden holzer was bombarded by his former disciples, and he lacked more than just coaching adaptability.

Recently, Ibaka, a former Bucks insider, accepted an exclusive interview with Chalana, a famous player of The Athletic. In the interview, he bombarded Buden holzer, a former Bucks coach, and questioned Buden holzer’s communication ability. It seems that Buden holzer’s dismissal is not only due to the lack of adaptability in coaching, but also due to the lack of communication skills.

Ibaka said that when he signed with Bucks, he knew that his playing time would not meet his expectations, and he had communicated with Buden holzer about playing time. Ibaka revealed: "At the beginning, Buden holzer said in front of me,’ Listen, I can’t promise you anything if you come to the Bucks. However, you never know what will happen. The season is long and players will be injured. You must always be prepared. " "

Ibaka can understand that Buden holzer has his own habits of employing people. After all, the Bucks have big Lopez and Portis inside. What Ibaka couldn’t understand was that when a player was injured, he still didn’t get playing time. When the wounded returned, he got playing time instead.

Ibaka believes that the lack of communication is the main problem. "When I communicated with the management, they told me differently. They appreciated me and wanted me to stay in the team. When I returned to the stadium, everything was different again, and things developed to the point where I couldn’t stand it. I love this sport, but if these things take away my inner peace and fun, it is not worth it. I won respect in the league. You have to communicate at least. I didn’t ask to play. What I want is communication. "

I can hear that Ibaka is full of complaints about Buden holzer. He also compares with Clippers coach Tyrone Lu. He said, "I played for Clippers, and I have great respect for Lu’s guidance. He will call me in the morning and say,’ I will let young players play more this week.’ My answer is yes, no problem. Whether you like the coach’s decision or not, I just have to keep my career in the end. At least I know I have to keep working hard for the next two weeks, and then when things change, he will call me and say,’ Listen, I’ll let you go tonight and get ready.’ Even if he’s not sure whether to let me go, he’ll tell me, that’s all. "

Ibaka played 16 games for the Bucks last season, averaging 11.6 minutes, scoring 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds. Before the trading deadline, Ibaka was sent to the Pacers and was subsequently laid off. At present, the 33-year-old Ibaka is still a free agent. He said that he can still contribute to a team and he can bring experience.

Li Kaier was interviewed: I feel very excited about the debut of Italy in the final on the 6th.

On August 5th, Beijing time, the China men’s basketball team beat Cape Verde 86-66 in the first game of the Trentino Cup to advance to the final, and will compete against the Italian team on August 6th. Li Kaier didn’t appear in the first game. He said in an interview with CCTV that he would join the first show in the final (August 6). Some China fans went out to watch the photos of the China men’s basketball team and took photos with a group of national men’s basketball players, including photos with Li Kaier on the sidelines.

Li Kaier completed naturalization at the end of July, and then went to Slovenia to meet the China men’s basketball team. It’s just that Li Kaier didn’t play in the previous warm-up match with Egypt or Cape Verde, and he will make his debut against Italy.

Li Kaier’s mother and wife, both of whom have already flown to Italy, naturally want to witness Li Kaier’s joining debut. However, in the face of the weak Cape Verde team, Joljevic did not send Likel to play, but against the strong host Italy, which became his best opportunity to make his debut.

Li Kaier himself also exposed the training video through social media, and wrote: "Ready to debut, looking forward to the first battle." Li Kaier’s meaning has been quite understood. His first show will be against Italy. "I will play tomorrow, and I am very excited about it!"

Some China fans had already gone to the scene to watch the China men’s basketball team beat Cape Verde by 20 points, and also took a series of photos with China men’s basketball players, including a photo with Li Kaier on the sidelines.

The fan also wrote through social media: "The changes brought by Qiao Shuai are visible to the naked eye. Xiao Cui played really well today, and Zhang Zhenlin completely pushed up the front line. China team cattle. "
