Chapter 1284 Finals

On August 4, Hassan rushed to Phoenix and made an appointment with Savor, and the two met at the latter's company.

"You want to buy the Suns?"

After hearing Hassan's intention, Savor was very surprised. He thought Hassan was discussing other business, but he didn't expect?

"Because the Suns did not renew the Hammers' contract, the Suns' valuation has plummeted again after plummeting 70% last season. I think this is the best opportunity."

Hassan laughed.

Savor snorted coldly: "Do you think I will sell it?"

Hassan laughed: "It doesn't matter because the league wants me to take over the Suns."

"This is impossible."

Savor stood up from his seat.

"Why is it impossible? You took the best card, but you want to throw it away and not play. The dealer cannot agree, so you are no longer suitable to hold the Suns." Hassan laughed.

"I still have a chance to sign for the Hammers," Sarver said coldly.

"No, you didn't. The Hammers are the God of Basketball and he gave you a chance for a season and you did nothing knowing what his injury was. Do you really think you still have it?" Opportunity?"

Hassan stopped laughing this time and said coldly.

He is really a fan of Li Ba, and a die-hard fan, so he dislikes Savor's behavior very much.

"..."

Sarver sank back into his executive chair dejectedly.

If the league really doesn't support him in owning the Suns, he really has no choice.

His original consideration was that because Li Ba was 30 years old, the contract of 300 million U.S. dollars plus the luxury tax of 300 million U.S. dollars was too big. In order to avoid risks, he did not want to renew Li Ba's contract.

He also has an idea. The Suns have won two dynasties. He believes that with these honors, even if Li Ba leaves the Suns, the local football market will still be guaranteed, so that the team can be operated smoothly and avoid US$600 million. risk, so he finally chose not to renew Li Ba’s contract.

But now that the league does not support him, the Suns will encounter great difficulties, such as national live broadcasts.

Because Li Ba didn't play last season, the Suns' national broadcasts dropped sharply. If the league wants to target him, how many national broadcasts can the Suns have in a season?

But now he has to figure out whether the alliance really doesn't support him, or whether Hassan is lying to him.

This is very simple. The team's acquisition must go through the league, so he immediately contacted Stern.

"Mr. Savor, I already know about this matter. You can talk about it yourself."

Stern's reply was simple and his tone was gentle, but it made Sarver's mood hit rock bottom.

The league does not support it, and now fans of the Suns and Hammers are clamoring for him to leave the Suns. He understands that the basis for him to continue to hold the Suns no longer exists, and forcing him to stay will only be counterproductive.

The Olympic Games are continuing, and the Chinese team continues to win gold medals one after another. There are also some things that make the Chinese people angry, such as referees targeting Chinese athletes in some events.

In the men's basketball competition, the Chinese men's basketball team triumphed all the way, sweeping five opponents in Group B and reaching the quarterfinals with a victory record of first place in the group.

After that, the Chinese team continued to show its strong inside strength, overwhelming everything and reaching the final with its head held high.

Even though Li Ba did not perform at his full strength in the following games, the strength he showed was enough to shatter the media's doubts about him.

At the same time, this time the American team also showed the strength of the dream team and reached the finals with a complete victory record.

August 14, Olympic men’s basketball finals.

The Chinese delegation also ushered in the competition for the most important gold medal, and the main leaders of the delegation came to the scene.

Before the game, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced.

Chinese team: Li Ba, Yao Min, Ah Lian, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei.

Team USA: Chandler, Durant, James, Kobe, Paul.

After the roster was announced, all live broadcast seats immediately began to analyze the strength and weakness of both sides' starting lineups.

At the CCTV live broadcast, there were old partners Zhang Lili and Yu Jia, and Guo Shiqiang was invited as a guest.

"Our lineup is not very easy to defend."

Zhang Lili frowned, thought for a while and said: "Durant's scoring ability is so invincible. Except for the hammer, the Arab League can't guard him, and he can't keep up with his pace. In this way, Yao is under the basket and the hammer pulls out." Anti-death, then when the UAE faces James, James will definitely hit the basket and cause damage to Dayao. In addition to James, there are also Kobe and Paul. Once these three guys rush in, will Dayao block it?

Dayao is 32 years old this year. Since last season, his physical fitness and mobility have also declined. He cannot stop James' impact, so we will be very passive on the defensive end. "

"So the Hammers must protect the basket, but Yao can't be pulled out to guard Durant, then?" Yu Jia hesitated.

"There is nothing to consider. Dayao should be put on the bench and let Zhu Fangyu come up and play. The situation may be better."

Zhang Lili said.

Guo Shiqiang said at this time: "Should we be unable to stop the outside line?"

"Either we should, or we can't stop it. Look at the U.S. team's bench. They are all superstars. How do we play on the outside? In this final, it depends on our inside, and the U.S. team depends on our outside."

Zhang Lili said it very straightforwardly, which made Guo Qianqiang a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhang is right. The hammer must stay under the basket. This will prevent the United States from attacking our restricted area. On the one hand, we have a rebounding advantage. On the other hand, we force the United States to play outside, reducing their success rate, while increasing the number of rebounds and expanding our number of shots." Yu Jia said.

"So this lineup is not suitable. Our outside defense is not good enough. The hammer must stay under the basket." Zhang Lili said.

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley and Kenny Smith, and Van Gundy Jr. were added. The three of them explained the final, and then invited a guest, Michael Jordan.

Barkley asked Jordan: "Michael, do you think the Hammer's strength has declined compared to the 10-11 season?"

Jordan shook his head and curled his lips and said: "It would be a pity if his condition has declined. Anyway, I can't see it."

Barkley laughed and said: "Then do you think he is still at his peak?"

Nodding, Jordan said: "So I want to remind the US team, especially the inside players, you must be prepared for everything and be prepared to be blown into slag."

Kenny Smith shook his head and laughed: "You know, our inside players Chandler and Kevin Love are all Hammer's brothers."

"That's too bad!" Jordan and others shook their heads and laughed helplessly.

"Jeff, do you think Hammer will be under the basket or outside to defend James?" Barkley turned around and asked.

"Why don't you think Hammer will defend Durant? You know, according to the previous matchup results, Hammer is a natural counter to Durant, and his effect on defending James is better than his." Van Gundy laughed.
