These two transfer deals are like two bombshells that have caused an uproar in European football.

Zidane is the best midfielder in Europe in the past few seasons except Ding Hongxing, he led Juventus to win consecutive Serie A titles, and led France to win the 98 World Cup championship, and now he is already a super midfielder, Manchester City signed him, obviously as a replacement for Ding Hongxing, to revitalize the midfield organization of the Manchester City team.

Zidane is certainly a good player, but the transfer fee is high enough, $45 million, the highest player transfer fee in recent years.

And Shevchenko has performed amazingly in the Champions League in the past two seasons, and is regarded as the best striker of the younger generation after Ronaldo, Manchester City bought him, obviously to make up for the lack of scoring ability after Ding Hongxing's retirement, of course, his goals are certainly not as good as Ding Hongxing, but this is already the best choice for the Manchester City team at present.

Andriy Shevchenko and Ruud van Nistelrooy form a luxurious attacking combination that is set to continue to sweep the Premier League in the coming seasons.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester City won Zidane and Shevchenko in competition with a number of big teams, of course, Manchester City is now a big club no less than any team, and it is not surprising that stars like Zidane and Shevchenko who are hungry for glory come to Manchester City, which proves that Manchester City is becoming more and more attractive to superstars.

Although this news is shocking, it is not the most exciting news in the sports world on July 1, the most exciting news of this day is that Xinghai Investment announced that it has become the largest shareholder of the NBA Houston Rockets, and they also announced that they will sign a five-year contract with Ding Hongxing, of course, because the salary cap for next season has not yet been introduced, therefore, the specific amount of the contract will not be officially determined until the middle of this month.

Of course, it can now be said that Ding Hongxing is already a Houston Rockets player.

The news spread around the world like a tornado, Ding Hongxing retired from football and actually wanted to play in the NBA? Isn't this a copy of Jordan? Jordan announced his retirement after his first three-in-a-row championship to play baseball, of course, he did not achieve anything worth mentioning in the field of baseball, will Ding Hongxing follow in his footsteps? After all, football and basketball are two completely different sports.

For a while, all TV stations were broadcasting the news, and all the paper media took the news as the front page headline of the day, and all the fans were talking about it, and they were also full of expectations for Ding Hongxing's NBA career.

On the same day, the Rockets announced their partnership with free agent Stephen. Jackson signed a three-year contract with a minimum salary, Jackson was a rookie selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 43rd pick in the second round two seasons ago, but he did not get a guaranteed contract, and was soon abandoned, after which he wandered overseas for a while, until the first half of this year, Zheng Jiajian signed an agent contract with him, promising to find him a contract with an NBA team next season, so he returned to the United States to train, waiting for an opportunity, and sure enough, he got a contract with the Rockets.

At the same time, the Rockets also paid tribute to this year's rookie Sean. Marion and Raja. Bale offered rookie contracts, but two overseas rookies, Kirilenko and Ginobili, will not be in the NBA this year, and they will continue to play for their current team, and of course, their NBA signing rights still belong to the Houston Rockets.

Ding Hongxing also received a message that this year's NBA champion San Antonio Spurs wanted to trade Ginobili's signing rights to the Rockets, which of course Ding Hongxing refused.

This year's NBA preseason will be held on July 9, this preseason, Ding Hongxing is going to participate, therefore, he is going to the United States now, of course, this time Ding Yuejin and his wife will also follow them to the United States, they are still anxious to hold their grandson.

After saying goodbye to relatives and friends in China and entrusting the house and dog in Guicheng to Shen Fucai's family, Ding Hongxing's family flew to Houston, USA.

Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, located in Texas in the southwest of the United States, is a famous financial and aerospace center in the United States, and the name of the Houston Rockets is derived from the space center in Houston.

On the day that Ding Hongxing flew to Houston on July 3, the Chinese in Houston spontaneously went to the airport to greet them, and they were all clear about Ding Hongxing's fame in the field of football, they did not expect that Ding Hongxing would choose basketball after retiring, and he chose the Houston Rockets, which made the Chinese living in Houston overjoyed.

Ding Hongxing didn't have a superstar shelf at all, and after he got off the plane, he put his family in the car sent by the club to pick him up and left first, and he smiled and fulfilled the request for autographs and group photos of the Chinese who came to greet him, and then returned to the accommodation arranged for him by the club.

The Houston Rockets arranged a villa for Ding Hongxing's family in a wealthy area on the shore of Lake Winther, which is a mansion with a construction area of more than 1,600 square meters, which was bought by Lin Yaozu for $3 million shortly after arriving in Houston last year, and it was renovated and renovated after it was bought, and now it has eight bedrooms and bathrooms, three oversized living rooms, a yacht marina, a swimming pool, a basketball court, and a tennis court. There is also a large lawn, this villa has been empty since it was bought and renovated, and no one knows who it is for, and now I finally know that it is for Ding Hongxing.

Ding Hongxing's family of four, with four female bodyguards and two Chinese maids, started a new life in this villa.

Don't worry about the safety of the villa, the villa is equipped with a computer-controlled state-of-the-art security system, there are four female bodyguards from special forces, and there is a heavily armed security team patrolling this villa area 24 hours a day, after all, this is a rich area, and those who live here are the rich people in Houston.
