[CCTV Review] What is the impact of the resumption of "basketball diplomacy" between the United States and the DPRK on the situation on the peninsula?

  CCTV News:Yesterday, the NBA finals ended, and the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers to win the championship. On this day, a former NBA champion team member once again entered the public eye — — Dennis rodman, a former bull player, arrived in Pyongyang, North Korea by plane yesterday.

  △ Rodman arrived at Pyongyang Airport

  "Private visit" is not "business"

  Rodman and his party visited the DPRK at the invitation of the DPRK Sports Ministry, and the DPRK gave them a high-standard reception.

  For this visit, Rodman responded that this trip has no official background and hopes that this visit will open the door and do something for North Korean sports. His aim "has always been to bring sports into North Korea".

  According to a senior American official, the State Council knew about Rodman’s trip to North Korea, but stressed that he was not visiting North Korea in an official capacity.

  Rodman visited North Korea four times to sing a birthday song for Kim Jong-un.

  It is reported that Rodman had visited North Korea four times before. According to Rodman, his repeated visits to the DPRK were "basketball diplomacy".

  On February 26th, 2013, Rodman led an American basketball delegation to Pyongyang to start his first trip to North Korea. During his week-long visit to North Korea, Kim Jong-un met and hosted a banquet for Rodman and his party.

  In 2013, Rodman visited North Korea twice to interact with the North Korean basketball team. Kim Jong-un said that Rodman, as a friend, can visit the DPRK at any time in the future.

  △ On September 6, 2013, Kim Jong-un once again hosted Rodman in Pyongyang.

  On January 6, 2014, Rodman led the American basketball team composed of retired American professional basketball players to visit North Korea for the fourth time. On January 8, to celebrate Kim Jong-un’s birthday, Rodman led the American basketball team to play a friendly match with the North Korean basketball team in Pyongyang Stadium. Kim Jong-un and his wife attended and watched the game. Before the friendly match, Rodman also sang a birthday song for Kim Jong-un.

  The story between Rodman and Trump

  Rodman’s visit to North Korea this time is the first time since US President Trump took office. Rodman said, "I am very sure that Trump is happy about this." Rodman and Trump, who seem to have no intersection, actually have some stories.

  In 2009, Rodman made his first appearance on the reality show "Celebrity Apprentice". Trump praised the basketball player as "a work".

  In 2013, Rodman once again appeared as a "celebrity apprentice". Rodman was finally "fired" by Trump because he misspelled the name of Mrs. Trump Melania in the program.

  According to Rodman’s assistant, before Trump was elected president, Rodman had talked with Trump about his several trips to North Korea. CNN said that before entering politics, Trump praised Rodman’s trip to North Korea in 2013 when he was interviewed by Fox TV. In 2015, when Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency, Rodman supported Trump all the way.

  North Korea releases detained American college students

  Just as Rodman arrived in North Korea to start his visit, on the 13th local time, US Secretary of State Tillerson confirmed that the North Korean government had released Otto Warmbier, an American college student who had been detained by North Korea for 17 months.

  Warmbier, a 21-year-old college student from the University of Virginia in the United States, was detained by the DPRK on January 2, 2016 while preparing to leave pyongyang sunan international airport. In March 2016, he was sentenced to 15 years of reeducation through labor by the North Korean Supreme Court for conspiring to subvert the country.

  China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Support the United States and the DPRK to strengthen dialogue and contacts.

  The detained American college students were released and Rodman visited the DPRK. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang also responded to this matter at today’s regular press conference, saying that he didn’t know whether there was a connection between the two, and China has always supported the United States and the DPRK to strengthen dialogue and contacts. If these two events may be related, I think it is a positive development.

  Recently, North Korea has been conducting missile tests continuously, and the United States has also made frequent moves militarily, showing tension between the DPRK and the United States. At the end of this month, South Korean President Moon Jae in will also start a trip to the United States. In this context, what is Rodman’s intention to visit the DPRK? Will there be a turn for the better in US-DPRK relations? Will the situation on the peninsula usher in a new round of interaction? from …view/come and seeLiu Hua, an expert on international issuesInterpretation.

  Interpretation of CCTV

  Rodman’s recent visit, on the surface, looks like a "turnaround" between the United States and North Korea, but the actual situation may be more complicated.

  It is impossible to judge that the US has substantially adjusted its policy toward the DPRK.

  First of all, judging from North Korea’s traditional diplomatic thinking, it is obvious that the timing of inviting Rodman to visit has political and diplomatic considerations. If we consider the action of releasing American college students, this "combination boxing" can be regarded as a signal that the DPRK is releasing easing relations.

  However, diplomacy is not a unilateral move, but both sides must "dance" together. We need to ask a question: What is the nature of Rodman’s visit in the eyes of the US, and is it a kind of "basketball diplomacy"?

  It should be noted that American diplomacy involves many domestic "blocks", and the situation under the water is extremely complicated. The departments that have the right to speak in foreign relations not only have theoretical authorities — — The State Council, the United States, as well as the military, intelligence agencies, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Justice, including the White House (it is quite common for the White House to disagree with the State Council).

  Perhaps, in the eyes of some departments, Rodman’s visit can be regarded as a kind of communication and change, but in the eyes of others, it doesn’t make any sense, and it doesn’t conform to the status quo of the US-DPRK relations in the latter departments.

  Therefore, judging from Rodman’s visit, the DPRK is indeed sending some signals, but it cannot be judged that the US policy toward the DPRK has undergone major changes or substantial adjustments.

  △ Rodman arrived at Pyongyang Airport and was greeted by the Deputy Minister of Sports and Culture of the DPRK.

  Rodman’s visit will play a communication role.

  In any case, this kind of visit will obviously play a certain communication role. After Rodman’s previous visits to the DPRK and his return to China, he also conveyed to the media some statements made by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. For example, the DPRK actually has no "malice" towards the United States. This is obviously the message that the DPRK wants to convey to the US — — But how the diplomatic, military and intelligence departments of the United States judge this information respectively is another matter.

  At the same time, we should also pay attention to one point: from the perspective of domestic politics in the United States, it is obviously not the time for the Trump administration to fully reconcile with the DPRK. At present, the "TongRumen" investigation is the focus of the US political situation, and the Trump administration is deeply involved. In American domestic politics, the attitude towards traditional "opponents" and even "adversaries" such as Russia, North Korea and Iran is quite "politically correct". If the Trump administration is suspected of "communicating with Russia" and fully reconciles with the DPRK, it will undoubtedly bear greater pressure in the United States.

  Conversely, in the past, Trump’s missile attack on the Syrian government and the "demonstration" of three aircraft carrier battle groups near the Korean Peninsula were more like "pleasing" the mainstream of domestic politics in the United States.

  Based on the above factors, it can be seen that the DPRK is indeed showing some kind of reconciliation gesture in Rodman’s visit to the DPRK, but it is far from being a substantial signal of "relaxation" or "reconciliation" in the US-DPRK relations.

  Changes in South Korea’s internal affairs will help temporarily ease the situation on the peninsula.

  Furthermore, changes in South Korea’s internal affairs are more likely to help temporarily ease the situation on the peninsula. After Moon Jae in took office, the South Korean government announced that it could suspend the US-South Korea military exercise on the premise that North Korea abandoned its nuclear program. Although this is only a test of public opinion, it also coincides with the "double suspension" scheme proposed by China (the DPRK suspends its nuclear test and the United States and South Korea suspend its military exercises).

  At the end of this month, Moon Jae in will visit the United States, and the United States and South Korea will undoubtedly "align" their policies on the peninsula. If you get some permission from Trump, it is not excluded that Moon Jae in will take positive actions in its policy toward the DPRK. After all, the tension on the peninsula for more than a year has brought substantial impact on South Korea’s economy and society. If it is a responsible South Korean government, it should have taken substantial measures long ago to ease and stabilize the regional situation.

  In any case, dialogue is better than confrontation, not only between the United States and North Korea, but also between South Korea and North Korea.

The Nuggets and Kings are about to be completed, and Fox and Murray are swapped to help Mr. Joo hit the second championship.

According to American media reports, several NBA experts suggested that the Kings and Nuggets reach an agreement, and Fox and Jamal Murray should be exchanged.

For the Nuggets:

In 2023, the Nuggets broke the championship drought. Denver Nuggets didn’t win the championship for 76 years since they joined the NBA in 1976. In 2023, they finally won the championship. In the NBA finals of the 2022-23 season, the Nuggets won the NBA championship this season with a series score of 4-1.

In the semi-final of the Western Conference, the Nuggets played against the Lakers, and Murray played well and was in a hot state. No one could stop him. Sweep the Lakers 4-0.

Nuggets get Fox’s benefits:

(1) reduce the risk of injury, which can ensure the record of Nuggets.

(2) Fox has better physical fitness, and it can erase more different sparks with the appointment of teachers.

Fox has made progress in both the middle distance and the three points this season. Fox is still very young and has more room for improvement.

(4) Fox’s next fast break, Jokic’s ghost hand pass, think about the scene is terrible.

For the king:

Although Fox led Kings into the playoffs this season, he still failed to sell Warriors.

The king benefited from Murray:

① Having playoff experience and being able to take King further.

(2) Murray is also a killer, big heart, the courage to take responsibility.

③ The passing and pick-and-roll effect will be better, and the hand feeling technology will be more exquisite.

4 Murray+Sabonis may have a better combination of inside and outside lines, leading the Kings to break through the semi-finals in the new season.

Summary: From the data comparison of the two, Murray is not as good as Fox, but from the record comparison, Murray is better. Mr. Sabonis and Mr. Joo are the top insiders in the league, and both of them are Europeans. Therefore, they need a team defender to assist them. The transaction value of the two is completely matched, and the contract has not expired. Therefore, the exchange is completely feasible.

Depth | Lakers: Blind Command! Twin Towers Tactics or the chance to ruin James’ five championships?

With the passage of time, the key operations of NBA teams have generally ended. Except for some strong teams, other teams that should have reinforcement operations have already got their favorite players. However, there is only one championship. So, which teams have the strength to challenge the championship in the new season?
Obviously, it is time to evaluate the management operation of some teams.
We won’t comment on the Eastern Division. Let’s just talk about the fiercely competitive Western Division. Apart from the defending champion Nuggets and the newly strong Suns, there is another team that has the strength to win the championship, that is, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although the Lakers didn’t adjust their lineup too much after the opening of the trading market, they didn’t make heavy deals, and even the heat was taken away, but if you look closely at his current roster, you will find that they contain great strength and are not weak.
Perhaps LeBron James in the new season can still have the hope of hitting the championship.
The salary of the Los Angeles Lakers lineup is not low.
With Anthony Davis completing an exciting contract renewal with the team, the lineup of the Lakers has been basically completed.
According to Adrian Voynarovsky of ESPN, Davis will sign a three-year contract extension with the Lakers, with a total value of 186 million US dollars, so that his contract will continue until 2028.
Of course, Anthony Davis’ contract has no impact on the Lakers’ salary in the new season, but his news of renewal can stabilize the Lakers’ morale.
The total salary of the Lakers next season has reached the top ten in the league, which shows that the investment is not in vain.
LeBron James (39 years old, forward)-47.61 million;
There is no doubt that in the 23 rd season, he also played beyond the general all-star level. In the playoffs, he even went crazy to output and compete with his opponents. After so many years, his strength is still the same. No matter from which point of view, even the old LeBron James is worth the price.
Anthony Davis (31 years old, forward/center)-40.6 million;
Now that Jay Brown has signed a sky-high salary contract, do you still think Anthony Davis is not worth the price?
Objectively speaking, Anthony Davis has suffered many injuries in recent seasons, but his performance in the healthy period last season was quite satisfactory. In the playoffs, he is still the strongest pillar in the Lakers.
Many times, the Lakers rely on him to hold up the counter-offensive banner.
Dangelo Russell (28 years old, defender)-17.31 million;
Russell can be said to be the representative of "fragrant and smelly".
In the 23-season regular season, he can be said to be suddenly incompetent, and he is regarded as the genius of the Lakers’ transaction. His calm and calm style of play is in sharp contrast with Russell Westbrook before.
However, no one expected that Russell couldn’t play a high-end game, with many low-level mistakes+missed shots+average defense. He continued his performance in the playoffs when he played for the Nets and Timberwolves, and could not help the team, which made everyone question his worth of 36 million years.
Fortunately, the price for the Lakers to renew his contract is really not high. At present, they can’t find a better point guard candidate with this price. It can only be said that it is ok for Russell to call Duo more in the regular season to share the pressure.
Of course, if there is a chance to trade a star in the middle of the season, then Russell is simply the only person to trade.
Bacun base (26 years old, forward)-15.74 million;
In the 23 rd season, Hacun really made a name for himself in the Lakers. His slow defensive pace and slow attack, which were criticized in the Wizards, were all covered by the team’s configuration. Now we can fully see his advantages in playing in the Lakers, and his weight, size and strength are all online.
A steady middle distance, three-point ability, starting and substitution, this kind of offensive front line is what every team wants. It may be that the Lakers got Hacun at almost no cost at first because of Wei Shao’s trading.
Austin Reeves (26 years old, defender)-12.02 million;
Objectively speaking, Reeves may not have higher potential, and it will be a surprise if he can maintain his previous performance in the new season.
After all, in the new season, he is bound to be targeted by his opponents like Poole. However, the Lakers are obviously wise, and they are not carried away. They just give a tens of millions-level contract, and whether Reeves can maintain his status or not will not be too bad.
Gabe Vincent (27 years old, defender)-10.5 million;
On the one hand, Vincent’s contract is a bit of a gamble. Although he has played a wonderful performance in the Heat for 23 seasons, not only his offensive performance is outstanding, but also his basic defensive skills are online. But you know, he has only played well for one season, which is undoubtedly a hidden danger.
Many players may be forgotten after the outbreak of a season, especially those from the Heat. Because of the system, they have more performance opportunities than role players from other teams. Therefore, it is still unknown what effect Vincent can play after changing teams in the new season.
There are not many 3D players in the Lakers now, and the expectations for him should be great.
Jared Vanderbilt (25 years old, forward)-4.7 million;
Fan Debiao’s contract is really high quality. Although he sometimes causes opponents to attack Anthony Davis on the court, you can’t expect him to be a player with both offensive and defensive skills at his salary level.
In the new season, as long as he can continue to do a good job in defense, it is already worth it.
Looking at the Lakers’ lineup, it is not full of stars, but it is still remarkable. The main reason is that their configurations are complementary. For example, Fan Debiao and Hacun are in a state of complementary defense. One of them is good at defending small people, and the other is good at defending large-size front lines, which gives the team more possibilities for adjustment.
LeBron James swept the perimeter and Anthony Davis swept the perimeter at any time, and such a system was perfectly formed.
Toerien Prince (29 years old, striker)-4.52 million;
Prince should be regarded as the "missing" of the Lakers. His price is still very cost-effective. Prince has a chance to play in this lineup of the Lakers in the new season.
It is worth mentioning that the Lakers also have a fast-growing Cristino, who may become a "surprise soldier" of the Lakers.
The remaining 2.17 million Hayes; 3.7 million Hood; With 2.17 million Reddish, whether the three of them can play depends on the performance of the game at that time, which can be regarded as the Lakers’ personnel reserve.
The only problem with the Lakers is that they can’t dictate.
In the 23rd season, the Lakers entered the playoffs as the 7th in the Western Conference, defeated the Grizzlies in the first round, eliminated the Warriors in the second round, and finally lost to the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.
Obviously, being eliminated by the Nuggets has become the team’s "nightmare", and they will definitely try to make some moves against the Nuggets in the new season.
The Lakers have had successful experiences, such as their "Twin Towers" tactics in defeating the Nuggets in 20 seasons, and Howard’s marking and defense against Jokic is excellent.
The Lakers have always wanted to copy this style of play, such as arranging another big man beside the thick eyebrows. From the beginning of Jordan to Thomas, the Lakers never gave up this attempt, and finally gave up this style of play after a lot of attempts in the 23 rd season.
But unexpectedly, in the playoffs, facing the Nuggets’ easy failure revived their dead memories.
At present, there is only one center worthy of promotion in the Lakers team, that is Hayes with an annual salary of 2.17 million. In the regular season last season, Hayes played 47 games and averaged 5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.
According to Jaxson Hayes, it is reported that the Lakers are confident to let new signing jaxson Hayes start and play a role in the Twin Towers lineup with Davis.
Hayes, a player that the Lakers have been praising publicly, believes that Hayes has the potential to make progress in the new environment, but whether he can reach the level of McKee or Howard in the 2019-20 season is really a huge doubt.
He may have similar highlights and amazing dunks, but his defensive performance once made us believe that he could bring continuous defensive oppression.
Last season, he could only be the third or fourth center in the Pelican team. The main reason is that he has a big weakness, and his size makes him unable to deal with the giant inside.
Moreover, his golfer is average, and from his personal characteristics, he seems to be only a "low-profile young McKee".
So, can we expect him to quickly grow into an experienced defender like Howard who can keep an eye on the big center?
Perhaps the Lakers will target the free agent market.
But among free agents, can the Lakers really find a pillar player with super defensive influence?
The Lakers seem to think that the low-cost signing of McKee and Howard signed in the first 20 seasons can be copied.
But now, the two most cost-effective insiders in the free agent market, Bi Yongbo and Wood, cannot be compared with the above two.
For the Lakers, it is difficult to choose a candidate to fill the last lineup of the Lakers between Wood and Bi Yongbo.
Because both of them have obvious advantages, but they also have their own shortcomings.
Compared with Yong Bo, his style is obviously closer to the roles of Howard and McKee, but he has neither the dominance of Howard nor the physical quality and athletic ability of McKee.
As a result, his defensive performance can’t continue, and he can only occasionally play high-light moments.
Wood’s value comes from his shooting ability. Last season, he shot 37.6% from three points and averaged 4.2 shots per game. He has reason to be the third best frontcourt scorer of the Lakers besides James and Davis.
But his defense is mostly a negative factor in his career, which is why he has played for seven different teams in the past seven seasons.
Therefore, even if they sign Beyonbo or Wood, they can’t rely too much. Their wisest thing is to let Davis start at the center position and then use Hayes, Wood or Beyonbo as a substitute.
After all, these people’s defensive influence is really not good.
Of course, the Lakers can also force Davis to start with Hayes or another center, which may have some effect at a certain moment, but if it is used frequently, the disadvantages are too great.
Two disadvantages of the twin towers.
First, this will cause the Lakers’ power forward to slide, which will seriously affect James.
Fan Debiao and hachimura can be used whenever they want, but for James, who is about to turn 39, it will force him to spend more time defending his opponent’s scoring arrow.
In the 20th season, the Lakers used a two-tower lineup, and the reason why James was still able to breathe was that when they had many large-size guards with top defensive consciousness, especially Popper, caruso, Green and Bradley, these people were fearless even when facing some large-size attackers.
Therefore, the Lakers can ensure that he doesn’t have to face sharp attacks for a long time, so as to save his strength.
But after entering the 24th season, the Lakers’ defensive talent in the backcourt has begun to decline-the overall defense of Reeves, Russell, Vincent, Christie and Hood can’t be compared with the championship lineup.
The decline in the quality of defensive line will lead to more people in the Lakers who need to be hidden to play on the defensive end, so LeBron James, who used to have a relaxed defensive task, may often face the oppression of the enemy’s offensive arrows, which is unacceptable to James, who is older.
Even if only a few teams have dominant scorers like Durant, Tatum, Leonard and Ingram, it is enough to make the Lakers feel uncomfortable in the schedule.
What’s more, in the playoffs, most of the teams they have to face have stars of this level.
Therefore, forcibly hitting the Twin Towers will make the Lakers have some irreparable influence.
Second, the Lakers’ Anthony Davis is no longer a power forward.
One of the main reasons why Davis used him as a power forward in his early career in Los Angeles is that he has always been skeptical about playing a pure center position.
Secondly, his style of play is really more suitable for the position of power forward.
However, Davis is different now.
After winning the championship season, he played with many centers, such as Gasol Jr., drummond, Jordan Jr., Jones and Thomas, etc., but the effect was very average.
Therefore, in the past two seasons, in fact, Davis spent most of his time in the center position, and he has adapted to the center’s play to a certain extent. Now, since he can’t be as flexible as he was in the championship season, he can’t shoot as accurately as he was at the beginning, which limits his offensive and defensive threat in the power forward position.
It may not be a good thing to force him back to the position of power forward.
Therefore, it is best for the Lakers not to use the Twin Towers tactics easily. If they can’t find a suitable insider, they need to find another way to deal with the Nuggets.
Pelinka talked about the word "Twin Towers" more than once in an interview, and it seems that Ham doesn’t object to it, which gives people a very wrong signal.
James’s chance of winning the fifth championship is rare.
In the past two seasons, the Lakers have been in a bad state, and almost every offseason will see James’s "forced news" to the management.
Obviously, the mid-term management deal last season made the Lakers shine, and the team’s successful entry into the Western Conference made many people see the dawn of revival. LeBron James was also very satisfied, because he saw the possibility of hitting the fifth championship again.
The operation of the Lakers during this period of time has made people feel sincere. Their team-building plan looks really remarkable, but it is not enough to build a strong team. In the regular season, coach Hamm needs to be cautious in arranging troops and trying to establish a reliable winning system.
Otherwise, once this kind of "playing with the Twin Towers" is forced again, James’ hard-won fifth chance will be ruined again.
How far the Lakers can go, we look forward to their performance in the new season.

It is not his choice to discuss James, the best player in NBA. Russell reveals the strongest player in NBA.

The Lakers’ D ‘Angelo Russell revealed his choice of the NBA’s best player and made it clear that it wasn’t lebron james. This has aroused widespread concern from fans and the media, and also set off a heated discussion about the best players in the NBA.

D’Angelo Russell is a promising young point guard who plays a key role in the Lakers. His choice caused many people’s surprise. After all, lebron james has always been regarded as one of the best players in the NBA. However, Russell’s view is his personal view, and every player has his own best.

In the past 20 years, lebron james is undoubtedly a superstar in NBA, and his performance and achievements are beyond doubt. He led the team to win several championships with excellent basketball skills and leadership skills, and won numerous awards in personal honor. However, with the passage of time, a new generation of players are constantly emerging, and their strength and potential can not be ignored.

Nikola jokic is one of them, and he has become the core player of the Nuggets with excellent skills and versatility. He has remarkable height and weight and can easily control the game situation on the court. His passing ability, scoring ability and defensive performance are amazing, which makes him one of the most dominant players in NBA today. Russell chose Jokic probably because of his all-around performance on the court and his ability to control the game.

Durant was retired with at least three jerseys? This is a fable. Is Thunder the first to disagree?

Durant is one of the greatest scorers in NBA history and one of the most influential stars in active service. He once played for four teams: Thunder, Warriors, Suns and Nets, and each team left its own glory. Some people think that Durant’s jerseys should be retired by all three teams in recognition of his contributions and achievements. But is it really possible?

First of all, we should make it clear that retiring jerseys is not an easy task. It requires not only the consent of the players themselves, but also the approval of the team management, and even the feelings of the fans. Retired jerseys are the highest honor and the greatest respect. It means that the players have an indelible position and influence in that team, and it also means that the team has deep feelings and trust for the players.

So, Durant in the four teams, which team is most likely to retire his jersey? I think the answer is the Nets.

The Suns are Durant’s current team and the team he was traded to join. Durant showed his charisma and superstar strength in the Nets. He led the Nets to the Eastern Conference finals and created amazing data and performance in the confrontation with the Bucks. Although he didn’t win the championship in the end, Durant has won the admiration and love of all the staff and fans of the Nets. If Durant can remain healthy and at a high level in the Nets and lead the Nets to win the championship, then it is very possible that his jersey will be retired by the Nets.

Secondly, the Warriors may also retire Durant’s jersey. After all, Durant spent the most brilliant three seasons of his career in the Warriors. He helped the Warriors win the championship twice in a row and won the finals MVP twice. He played a historical level of efficiency and firepower in the Warriors, and also made the Warriors a dynasty-level team. Although Durant caused some controversy and dissatisfaction when he left the Warriors in 2019, Warriors management and coach Cole expressed their gratitude and respect for Durant and hinted that he might retire his No.35 jersey in the future.

Finally, Thunder is the last team to retire Durant’s jersey. Although Durant played the first nine seasons of his career in the Thunder and led the Thunder to the finals, he left the Thunder in an unacceptable way in 2016 and joined the sworn enemy warriors at that time. This move made Thunder fans and management feel betrayed and angry, and also completely broke the relationship between Durant and Thunder. Even though Durant later expressed his nostalgia and gratitude to Thunder, neither Thunder fans nor management forgave him, nor did they forget him. Therefore, it is impossible and inappropriate for Thunder to retire Durant’s jersey.

To sum up, it is a fable that Durant was retired at least three jerseys, and Thunder was the first to disagree. Durant can only win such honor in the Nets or Warriors, but it also requires him to continue to create glory and history in these two teams. Durant is a great player, but he is also a controversial player. Whether his jersey can be retired depends on his own choice and performance.

With the veteran slowly dying and retiring, only the last nine players entered the league before 2008.

The fans who watched 84 Jordan’s session are over 40 years old, and those who like 96 Kobe Bryant are at least 30 years old. There are three draft years in the NBA, except 84 diamonds and 96 gold, which is 03 platinum. Because James is still playing, we subconsciously think that the 2003 players are not far away, but in fact, not only James is left in 2003, but even the next 04 has already been wiped out!
Ninth place: Jeff Green, show No.5 in 2007, status: 7.8 points and 2.6 rebounds!
Green has dropped to 7.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season, and then dropped to 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in the playoffs. However, the Rockets sent Green a two-year 16 million contract in the offseason. Once Green almost retired due to heart problems, but now he has become an evergreen tree in the league. However, this contract belongs to the team in the second year and is completely unprotected. At that time, Green will be almost retired at the age of 38.
Once supersonic two little!
Eighth place: Mike Conley, show No.4 in 2007, status: 14 points and 5 assists!
Conley is still living a good life. Getting 31 minutes of playing time in the Timberwolves is the main force, and there is still $24.36 million left in the last year of the contract. Conley is only 35 years old now and should be able to play for another three to four years.
Seventh place: Al Horford, 2007 Flower Show, status: 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds!
Last season, Horford was amazing on the defensive end, and fans once regarded him as Duncan in his twilight years. This season, Horford’s defense lost its deterrent, and the offensive end was low and his face frame was almost gone. In addition, the average number of empty cuts per game was also a career low. For the Green Army, Horford only had the role of an anti-aircraft gun platform, so the Celtics introduced Polzingis to enhance the inside strength. Horford had 20 million yuan left in his contract for two years, and he was 39 years old after two years.
Horford used to defend the letter brother!
Sixth place: Kevin Durant, the second-place show in 2007, status: 26 points and 6.4 rebounds!
Durant used to be the first choice of offensive end in Thunder, Warriors and Nets, but now he has finally changed since he came to the Sun. For example, in the series against Clippers, Devon Booker averaged 37.2 points and Durant only scored 28.4 points. Time and tide wait for no man. This time, the strong dragon finally couldn’t hold down the local snake.
Durant’s four-year $194 million contract will not expire until the summer of 2026, when Durant will be 38 years old. For some old fans, we can watch Durant for another three to five years.
Booker didn’t give up the team’s first offensive choice like Curry did!
Fifth place: PJ Tucker, No.35 show in the second round of 2006, status: 3.5 points and 3.9 rebounds!
Many fans only see the highlights of PJ Tucker’s one or two rounds, but in fact, Tucker’s positive and negative values in many games, including the efficiency of the defensive end, are not as good as before. Tucker entered the NBA through the draft after his junior year. In May this year, Tucker was over 38 years old, and it is obviously impossible to expect him to guard against the letter brother and Tatum.
Tucker just signed a three-year $33.04 million contract with Philadelphia last season, and the contract will not expire until 2025. Tucker’s high salary in the next two seasons will also be a drag on Philadelphia.
Tucker is getting a little overwhelmed!
Fourth place: Kyle Lowry, No.24 show in the first round of 2006, status: 11.2 points and 5.1 assists!
Lori originally had $29.68 million left in his contract for one year. However, due to the poor performance in the playoffs and the tight salary space of the Heat, the Heat is currently trying to trade or use extended terms to buy out Lori to relieve their pressure. Lori is 37 years old, and players can only sign a basic salary contract after being bought out. It is very likely that Lori will announce his retirement within two years.
It is said that the Heat will replace Lori with Drazic!
Third place: Rudy Gay, No.8 show in 2006, status: 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds!
Rudy Gay was traded to the Hawks by Jazz, and then to the Thunder by the Hawks. Finally, the Thunder announced that he had laid off the small forward who had played for the league for many years. After the general players began to wander around, it meant that it was not far from retirement.
Second place: Chris Paul, No.4 show in 2005, status: 13.9 points and 8.9 assists!
Paul has two years left on his contract, which is $30.8 million in 24 seasons and $30 million in 25 seasons. His salary is not much lower than Pu ‘er’s. Paul is over 38 years old. When he and Curry play at the same time, the team’s backcourt defense will be a problem. In addition, it is also a difficult problem for the team to hand over the license to Paul or Green. The best solution is that Paul enters the bench. It is not a good deal to exchange Pu ‘er for Paul.
Such a backcourt combination height and age have become a problem!
First place: James, champion in 2003, status: 28.9 points and 6.8 assists!
James won’t actually reach the age of 39 until December 30th. If compared by age, James’ 23-24 season is equivalent to Jordan’s 01-02 season. Jordan averaged 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 01-02 season, leading the Wizards to the ninth place in the East. It is still a high probability that James will surpass Jordan of the same age in data and record next season.
At present, James’ contract will expire in two years, and we will see if the total score of the two seasons can exceed 40 thousand. If this goal is achieved, James may retire in two years, otherwise he may still play one or two more seasons.

Shandong high-speed men’s basketball team won the third place and lost to Tianjin men’s basketball team. Is it a human accident or strength?

The summer league in Xinjiang Station has all ended. Shandong High-speed Men’s Basketball Team won the third place in this summer league. Two of the games were lost to Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team, which caused a heated discussion. The Shandong High-speed Men’s Basketball Team, which was the main force, met Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team, which was not the main force. What made the team lose in two games without suspense? Is it really that Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team is stronger than Shandong High-speed Men’s Basketball Team?

First: The two games are a bit worldly, and He Siyu’s joining the Shandong Men’s Basketball Team is the main reason.

He Siyu is a player introduced by Shandong High Speed Men’s Basketball Team from Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team this summer. It is very rare and rare to have a player change in CBA, which also makes Shandong High Speed Men’s Basketball Team deeply grateful to Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team.

When the summer league meets, Shandong high-speed men’s basketball team is still the main force to play, but it is inevitable to express gratitude to Tianjin men’s basketball team for offering He Siyu. In the regular season, Shandong high-speed men’s basketball team can’t thank its opponents by losing because it is against the rules. Therefore, it is understandable and completely compliant for Shandong high-speed men’s basketball team to offer this favor in the warm-up competition of the summer league. Otherwise, with the lineup of Shandong high-speed men’s basketball team, it is impossible to meet Tianjin team twice and lose the game. You know, the gap between the players of the two teams in the competition is not a star and a half.

The amount of Milan’s Champions League can be recorded between 120 million and 125 million euros.

Milan circle

Gazzetta dello Sport revealed Milan’s income in the Champions League this season.

Among the four teams in the Champions League semi-final, the total salary of Milan is only 86 million euros, that of Inter Milan is 132 million euros, that of Manchester City is 214 million euros, and that of Real Madrid is 242 million euros. Milan fans may be dissatisfied with the club’s failure to invest in the team after earning a lot of money. However, Milan’s income in the Champions League this season can ease the club’s financial situation. Four years ago, Milan lost as much as 196 million euros. This fiscal year, Milan initially expected a loss of 20 million euros to 30 million euros, which is a significant improvement compared with 66 million euros a year ago. However, in the semi-final of the Champions League, Milan is expected to break even this fiscal year.

For Milan, although it missed the final, after playing the semi-final, the club’s account was between 120 million euros and 125 million euros. However, Milan’s profits should be deducted from management fees, stadium fees and possible player bonuses. For a club like Milan, the income is between 40 million euros and 50 million euros just by participating in the Champions League, so reaching the semi-finals means that their income has at least doubled.

Milan’s income from participating in the Champions League is as follows: winning or drawing in the group stage will earn some points, 9.6 million euros in the quarter-finals, 10.6 million euros in the quarter-finals and 12.5 million euros in the semi-finals (15.5 million euros in the final). In addition, Milan also earned a fairly high ticket income, which was 3 million euros against Dynamo Zagreb, 6.8 million euros against Chelsea, 4.6 million euros against Red Bull Salzburg, 9.1 million euros against Tottenham, 8.5 million euros against Naples, and 10.4 million euros against Inter Milan in the first leg of the semi-final. In other words, Milan won 42.4 million tickets in the Champions League this season. In addition, UEFA will give Milan a certain income according to market pool, historical coefficient and other factors.

There are only five real talented players in football history, and Messi Diego Maradona is the only one.

There are only five real talented players in football history, they are Diego Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and romario, and Messi and Diego Maradona are the only ones.

As two Argentine football superstars, Messi and Diego Maradona are very unique in their strength and skills. Messi is outstanding in technology, and his sense of rhythm and extraordinary ball control ability are unique in the world football. His breakthrough and speed make opponents unable to cope, and his shooting and passing are also very accurate, so he is an excellent offensive core.

Diego Maradona, on the other hand, is a very comprehensive player with excellent offensive and defensive abilities. He has excellent ball control skills and can bring the ball into the opponent’s restricted area like a magician. His shooting and passing are also very accurate, and he is a very comprehensive offensive player. Generally speaking, Messi and Diego Maradona are legendary players in the world football, and their strength and skills are unique in their respective times.

Romario: As one of the legendary stars in the history of Brazilian football, romario showed great technical and personal abilities on the court. His dribbling and shooting ability is extremely strong, he can create many opportunities in the restricted area, and he can decide the outcome of the game at critical moments. However, his individualism and uncooperative spirit also made him suffer some negative comments in his career.

Ronaldo: As another legendary star in the history of Brazilian football, Ronaldo showed extreme speed and strength on the court and was able to score easily in the penalty area. His skills are also excellent, and he can create opportunities on many occasions. However, he also experienced some injuries and personal problems in his career, which had a certain impact on his career.

Ronaldinho: As another legendary star in the history of Brazilian football, Ronaldinho has shown great skill and speed on the court and can create opportunities on many occasions. His dribbling and shooting ability is also excellent, and he can easily score goals in the restricted area. However, he also experienced some injuries and personal problems in his career, which had a certain impact on his career. On the whole, Ronaldinho is an excellent player, and his skills and performance are impressive.

Messi, Diego Maradona, romario, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are all talented players in the history of football, and their achievements and contributions can not be ignored. Everyone has his own opinions and preferences, so the best talented player is a subjective problem.

Although talent is innate, training and hard work the day after tomorrow are also very important. Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho have become world-class stars through hard work and continuous training. The same is true for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have made countless efforts and sweat during their growth. And Ronaldo was able to stand on the peak again after a serious injury because of his continuous efforts and persistence during his recovery. Therefore, although talent is very important, hard work and training the day after tomorrow are equally indispensable.

Manchester United will play Tottenham Hotspur ace harry kane or Napoli’s Victor Osman.

Manchester United will take harry kane, the ace of Tottenham Hotspur, or Victor Oscimen of Naples as the primary signing targets.

] It is necessary to look at the introduction of Jin Min calmly. It is not the "priority problem" of Manchester United and head coach Eric Tenghah. "Just bring it here, it’s a pity if you can’t get it", which should be regarded as a backward position. Jin Min-zai’s name was nowhere to be found in the analysis reports of the regional media who were most proficient in Manchester United’s internal atmosphere and news.

The British "Manchester Evening News" published a report on "72.9 million pounds that head coach Hach had to solve at Manchester United this summer". This is an article that Manchester United and head coach Tenghahe analyzed and put forward the priority issues after the end of the season through the summer transfer market and off-season.

Here, the realistic topic of Manchester United is put forward. There are two cores. One is that Manchester United can solve the problem of insufficient scoring ability by introducing strikers who can score clear goals through the summer transfer market. The second way is to find the striker Jaden Sancho (23 years old) who was introduced in the summer of two years ago for 72.9 million pounds (about 121.2 billion won). Unfortunately, Kim Min-jae’s name and the introduction of defenders were not mentioned.

The media said, "Manchester United is rushing to the transfer market this summer to strengthen its offensive choice, but it can’t solve some problems at present." Manchester United spent a lot of money to introduce wingers in the previous two summer transfer markets, but what is urgently needed this summer is strikers. This season, Manchester United have been trying to score goals, but we must bring in a world-class No.9 striker to improve their scoring ability.

To this end, Manchester United will take Tottenham Hotspur ace harry kane or Napoli’s Victor Oscimen as the primary signing targets. However, no matter who is introduced, huge amounts of money should be invested.

In addition, the lack of grass is also a problem that needs to be solved. Since Sancho came to Manchester United from Dortmund in July 2021, he has participated in 75 games, scored 11 goals and assisted 5 times, leaving a disappointing side. This made Sancho once promote Dortmund’s return, but this attempt ended in failure.

In the end, Manchester United must embrace Sancho again. But the location problem is distressing. In order to restore Sancho’s condition, Tenghahe also instructed to have personal training with the coach in the Netherlands during the World Cup break at the end of last year. Sancho has made 23 appearances as a starter and substitute since his comeback in February, and scored 3 goals, which seems to have improved temporarily. Of the 23 games, 13 were wingers and 10 were centers.

This way of starting means that the grass is still unable to determine its position. In the position of left striker, Rachford showed undisputed strength, while the right winger was Anthonis, who was trusted by the "1 option" of head coach Teng Hach.

If the grass wants to live, it must be given a definite role in the end. This is the most urgent task that coach Tenghahe needs to solve. Of course, Sancho should also try to prove his strength.

Manchester Evening News did not mention Manchester United’s defensive strengthening direction through this article. Of course, there is no mention of Jin Minzai’s name. Manchester United tied for third place with the lowest points lost in the league this season (losing 41 points), and Manchester City and Newcastle tied for first place (losing 31 points). Strengthening defense means that Manchester United will not consider it right away. Maybe Manchester United won’t catch Jin Minjie.
