To be honest, apart from remembering the big guys who became All-Stars or superstars, Li Yuhang doesn't know much about these players who don't have team contracts. It's not easy to find players suitable for the current Yudan Club.
Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about this matter. The club's general manager Wang Xiaohui and the team's head coach Lu Jinqing also came here. Li Yuhang simply stopped getting involved in this matter and left it all to professionals.
Li Yuhang has great ambitions. Since he has entered the CBA, he must establish a dynasty and make the Yudan Basketball Team the top team in the country. Only in this way can he bring huge benefits to Yudan Clothing, and also
Can contribute to the economic development of Guocheng.
As a well-known domestic coach, Lu Jinqing is under a lot of pressure. Yudan Basketball Club is the basketball club with the highest salary in the country. Even the Guangdong Province Guancheng team, which is the richest, the total salary of the club is less than one-third of Yudan Club.
two.
This time, Li Yuhang looked for foreign players to supplement the team's lineup, and also invited American professional trainers to join in to improve the training of the players. Even if Li Yuhang didn't say it, Lu Jinqing understood that it was for the championship.
Last month, he signed a new contract with Yudan Basketball Club, with a term of three years and a total salary of 1 million.
He understands that this is the time given to him by Li Yuhang and the club. If Yudan Basketball Team does not win the CBA championship within three years, then his career in Yudan Basketball Club will also be over.
Therefore, before coming to the United States, he did a lot of work. As a trainer, he covered five aspects: physical training, inside basket footwork training, shooting training, outside breakthrough training, and combination of passing and rushing.
In terms of players, the current defense line and center are pretty good. In terms of foreign aid, they mainly supplement the forward line, especially defensive small forwards and offensive power forwards who can open up space.
Fortunately, the domestic foreign aid quota is limited to two, which gives him room to operate in this regard.
Encountering such a boss who is eager for quick success, Lu Jinqing has no time to train young players. At present, winning the championship is the most important thing. He does not want to leave this position in three years. It is difficult to have Yudan Basketball in China.
The club provides such good treatment.
In the hotel suite in Las Vegas, Li Yuhang carefully looked at the list of 1996 losers handed over by Wang Xueqin. When he saw a man less than two meters tall who applied for the center position, his name was Ben Wallace.
At that time, his mind gradually recalled the Pistons Legion in his previous life in 2004? The civilian army that killed the Lakers F4.
Li Yuhang has an intuition: This guy above must be the best defender. If he can recruit this guy to his team? He believes that the inside will be a nightmare for all CBA teams.
Li Yuhang used his mobile phone to dial Lu Jinqing's number. He ordered on the phone: "Coach Lu, have you read the list of NBA undrafted players that Assistant Wang gave you this year? There is an undrafted player named Ben Wallace in it. Please contact him."
Play the opponent? Let’s see if we can recruit him to our team.”
The information given by Wang Xueqin is now in front of Lu Jinqing? When Li Yuhang mentioned it, he found the information about Ben Wallace.
He is less than two meters tall, his shooting skills are appalling, and he is still assigned the position of center? Is this a joke? If these can play in the NBA, then all domestic club players can become NBA first-level players.
Even if Li Yuhang is his boss, Lu Jinqing will still fight hard at this time. He will never tolerate a player on his team whose shooting is not as good as that of a middle school student.
"Mr. Li, are you sure you're not kidding me? What our team needs now is a power forward who can distance himself and have a certain ability to attack independently. At the same time, we need a small forward who can defend well and has three-point ability. This guy is called
What Ben Wallace did was simply not in line with the way our team was built."
Li Yuhang fell silent while holding his cell phone. The reason why he wanted to bring Ben Wallace to his team was because he was indeed a big boss in his previous life. The other reason was because he liked his defense.
Isn't it unreasonable to listen to Lu Jinqing's words now? The team center Zhang Xuyang is already considered the main center in the CBA? Except for a few super centers, it is not easy to suppress him. The center is enough.
The reason why we now need to find a power forward to open up the space and a small forward who can defend well is mainly for Liu Yifeng. The small forward is mainly to defend the opponent's outside core, allowing Liu Yifeng to focus on the offensive end, while the power forward is mainly to open up the space.
Convenient for Liu Yifeng's breakthrough.
When Li Yuhang thought about this, he was no longer interested in recruiting foreign players. As a basketball fan in his previous life, he still knew a little bit about basketball, so he would not force the club to recruit players and arrange tactics because of personal reasons.
"Coach Lu, I just think this Ben Wallace is a talent. Since he is not suitable for our team, forget it. You continue to study to see who is more suitable. I will not participate."
Lu Jinqing was relieved when he heard this. He knew Li Yuhang's authority in his industry. Many times, as long as Li Yuhang gave orders, his management would not ask anything and would just do what he was told.
If Li Yuhang insists on recruiting Ben Wallace into the team this time, he really doesn't have much choice. Club general manager Wang Xiaohui will definitely do what Li Yuhang tells him.
Although Li Yuhang has already stated that he will not interfere in the recruitment of foreign players, for the sake of long nights and long dreams, he still started to select personnel suitable for the team among these undrafted players, and completed the recruitment as early as possible, so that he would not worry about any changes later.
At this time, Ben Wallace, who was waiting for the opportunity at home, still didn't know whether he would definitely go to the ancient eastern country when he almost had the opportunity. After the Celtics eliminated him from the summer league, he could only wait for other teams to give him a chance.
He has a chance.
But Li Yuhang also remembered Ben Wallace again. After acquiring an NBA club in the future, Li Yuhang recruited him again and made him a strong shield inside the team.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Li Yuhang did not go to an entertainment place to spend a lot of money, nor did he expect to win a big sum here. Seeing that it was already the end of July, he and Wang Xueqin transferred to Los Angeles and took the flight back to Chengdu.
.
As for the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Li Yuhang did not go this time. Guocheng’s Xinhang Middle School, Chengze Elementary School, and Jianan Hospital have been built and all equipment has been installed. Naturally, Li Yuhang will attend the opening ceremony and the hospital.
The dedication ceremony.
This year in Guocheng, not only the Xinhang Middle School has been put into use, but also the first phase of the University Town in Jianan District, the new campus of Southwest Petroleum College, the new campus of Guocheng Normal University and the new campus of North Sichuan Medical College have been completed.
The first batch of college students will be welcomed in March.
Guocheng University, one of Guocheng's key projects, is also advancing rapidly and is expected to welcome its first class of students next fall.
The newly founded Guocheng University is only a second-tier university, but it is already quite good so far. As the first comprehensive university in Guocheng, its majors are actually more focused on science and engineering, architecture, computer science, finance, etc.
