Chandler decided to stay with the Bobcats last season and signed a four-year, 45 million contract extension ahead of schedule.

The Bobcats weren't going to sign Chandler to an early contract extension, but the summer team trade market did nothing, leaving Larry? Brown was very angry that if he wanted the coach to continue, he had to keep the interior defender at that time. Jordan had wanted to trade Chandler for Dampier and then cut it, but the Cavaliers took the lead and traded Yao Ming and the Mavericks, both sides cleaned up the garbage contract, and the Cavaliers also sold the Mavericks for a favor.

The Bobcats themselves are a small club, and Jordan is well known for picking the door, and there will be no big star willing to join. Chandler's status has been questioned, and it is a good thing for him to receive an annual salary of 10 million yuan in the absence of a new collective bargaining agreement.

Last summer, many pundits called it rubbish, but coach Brown thought it was worth it, and Chandler defended better than Okafor. What level Chandler can play with the Knicks, New York fans are waiting to see.

After meeting and chatting with the two selected rookies for a while, Zhou Xuan and the others returned to New York.

It was evening when they got home, and the four of them, Tevo, Colo, Mary, and Elizabeth, were playing in the apartment.

"If you want a defensive center, why don't you recommend DeAndre (Jordan], who has a good relationship?" ”

"Because DeAndrew's free throws are so bad, I'm afraid that after a few games, the coach will have a cerebral infarction and be sent to the hospital." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

For Jordan Jr.'s free throws, Zhou Xuan no longer had any hope. It was about 38% for two consecutive seasons, and it increased by 46% in the season just ended. It's cooler to cut him on the field than to cut Howard, and it's not negotiable to bury the team. Chandler made 73 free throws last season. 2%, this data is qualified in the inner line. The regular season is not much to see, and free throws in the playoffs can sometimes make the difference between winning and losing.

People say that the template for little Jordan is Tyson? Chandler, the two have similar statistics, the Clippers did not renew Jordan Jr. in advance, and the trade must be made after the free market opens, so I don't know when the road will be, and the time to start again is tight and the competition is fierce. If the deal doesn't go through, it will affect the record.

"You gave Pekovic away, it's too cheap for the Bobcats, right?" That guy has a very high rating. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "How can the lynx agree to the deal if it loses money?" We're looking for what we need, and we'll know next season. ”

Pekovic is not suitable for D'Antoni's tactical system, just like when the Suns introduced O'Neal, the overall rhythm was limited, and Pekovic and O'Neal were also leaky on the defensive end, and they couldn't get out of the three-second zone at all. It's the same meat shield, he's not the same as Perkins.

Perkins has Garnett next to the Celtics, and the Thunder has Ibaka, all of whom can help block on the side, the Knicks don't have this kind of power forward and his partner, and it's not impossible to bring in a defensive power forward, so let Stoudeyer play off the bench?

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuan found Elizabeth sullen and asked, "What's wrong with Elizabeth?" ”

Mary said: "When "Double-Faced Martha" premiered on July 10, she was afraid that it would not be well received. You won't be able to make it then, I heard you're going to Hong Kong next week? ”

"Yes, it's time to go. Grace, are you ready? Zhou Xuan asked.

"Of course. In order to act, I failed both exams and was very well prepared. Chloe laughed.

Taiwo covered his forehead and sighed, "What do you have to be proud of?" ”

Chloe disagreed, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Most people go to school to find a job in the future, since my career has been successful, what does it matter if my school grades are good or bad?" ”

"You taught her that, didn't you?" Mary glanced at Zhou Xuan and asked in a low voice.

"It seems to be ......"

The season is over. The NBA's "war" has only just begun.

As recorded in history, the king insisted on war with reckless force, and the people of the country were overwhelmed, and finally forced to revolt, change the dynasty, and then re-establish the treaty. The history of the NBA is similarly controversial.

Since 1964, the NBA has had its entire history. In the decades since, the NBA has also faced several shutdown crises, but it has always been able to save the day. In 2011, the NBA was a little unplayable, and the reason was not complicated, the players who did semi-manual work had to fight in the ring with the big bosses to share the spoils.

On July 1, the previously hyped labor-management negotiations failed to reach a new agreement after three hours of tug-of-war. At this point, the NBA officially announced that it has entered a period of shutdown, which is also the first time that the league has experienced such an emergency since the 1998-1999 season. Last season it shrank to 50 games.

In the last collective bargaining agreement, players earned 57 percent of the league's basketball revenue, a share that led to massive losses for the owners. Previously, the management had been claiming that "50% is the bottom line of the negotiation", and if the players did not agree, they still could not reach the progress of the labor negotiations.

NBA commissioner David? Stern was on the side of the owners, saying: "The players' union proposal is unacceptable, so the team simply can't get the benefits. ”

Stern added: "After the previous collective bargaining agreement, the league lost an average of three per season. $700 million, 22 out of 30 teams are in the red. And these problems are mainly in the excessive wages of the players. ”

Indeed, the NBA league is not as popular as football and baseball in the United States, but player salaries are the highest in the sport. Only golfers can crush them.

The NBA has hit a development bottleneck, and they can't do a better job of market development. Whether it's TV broadcasts, ticket revenues, advertising sponsorships, stadium naming or the development of basketball derivatives such as jerseys and memorabilia, they have done enough to make many sports leagues look up to them. But the pie is so big, and before the development of a new sports market, the NBA seems to be unable to find an effective economic growth point. The NBA has been highly expanded for many years, but there are still many small cities where the environment for teams to survive and develop is not ideal. Likes the Charlotte Bobcats, the Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Hornets are almost to the point of getting by.

The shutdown will also have people who are a blessing in disguise, such as Yi Jianlian. He temporarily got rid of the renewal crisis and went all out to prepare for the Asian Championships. The Wizards did not offer the UAE a new contract on the eve of the shutdown, and if he performs well in the Asian Championships to help the Chinese men's basketball team qualify for the London Olympics, he will have a better chance of getting a new contract.

Zhou Xuan doesn't have to think about this problem, the management is all his acquaintances, and the Knicks can't trade him like the Warriors, and he will be the team's banner in the future.

Zhou Xuan is also not interested in fighting against the bosses, most of the players in the players' union are black players, and he has a hunch that the ones who will give in the last must also be the players. Both past experience and the current situation show that the management always has more control in the negotiations, and they have to change the current situation of losses, and the shutdown only allows them to lose more. Compared to the 30 owners plus Stern's management, the players' union includes more than 400 players and lawyers, can they be more united than management?

After all, the players' union is an organization that serves the players, and the final decision is also voted by more than 400 members, and it is not easy to make more than 400 people twist into a rope, and differentiation is inevitable.

Among the players, the most exposed must be Zhou Xuan, he can make money without playing, and the crew of "Pacific Rim" gathered and held a press conference.

"Magician" Gilmour and Zhou Xuan finally cooperated. The fat man ignored the fans' doubts and insisted on letting Zhou Xuan play the male lead, and the investors also agreed, and they had confidence in Zhou Xuan. Because he is so popular, especially in Asia. Not only in China, but also in South Korea and Japan, there are countless fans of him.

In Japan, Zhou Xuan's popularity is already comparable to that of Jackie Chan. His image was even introduced into the manga, and although that basketball manga was not too famous and there was a big gap between him and the slam dunk master, it could be seen that the Japanese admired him.

Scarlett? Johnson finished filming the Avengers and vacated the schedule. At the press conference, she said: "I have recently fallen in love with making science fiction films, and it will be very interesting to cooperate with Zhou Xuan." We all love the script, Robert [Downey] is not available, otherwise he would have come to make a cameo. ”

Robert Jr.? Downey can lead this movie to Iron Man, which has been very popular recently, and attract some sci-fi fans.

Zhou Xuan said: "I am confident that I can act well, and I have many acquaintances, and they will guide me in acting." Jill and Scarlett and I will definitely have a great time working together. ”

The reporter asked: "When did you decide to take on this film?" ”

"Mid-season. I became interested in movies because of my friends, and most of my friends are in the entertainment industry. I often watch and discuss movies with them. Every man has a superhero in his heart, and if Gilmour and the investors can trust me, how can I let them down? ”

The news was released, which aroused strong attention from Chinese fans.

Fan A: "It's finally time to start filming, China and the United States will team up together to happily fight little monsters." ”

Fan B: "Zhou Xuan and Scarlett are too handsome to play against each other, I hope there will be a bed scene." ”

Fan C: "It's a pity that it's not starring Emma, I don't know if she will be jealous." ”

Fan Ding: "The mage partners with Black Widow, I don't know if Zhou Xuan can create a box office miracle?" It's a big-budget movie. ”

It's a miracle to win the MVP on the court, and if you act in a movie and then sell out, it's a miracle within a miracle. Before filming even began, "Pacific Rim" has already made entertainment news headlines, and along with "The Avengers," it has become one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the next year.

While promoting the film, W magazine also published photographer Aaron ? DeGeneres took the latest photo for Zhou Xuan. W Magazine is the "heavyweight" publication in the American fashion industry, and since its inception 41 years ago, it has been the trend guide to American fashion.

There are also entertainment media who object, believing that the crew is playing with fire.

Hollywood's Variety magazine said: "It is a risk to let a star with no acting experience play the leading role. Gilmour did not direct "The Hobbit", "I Am Legend", "Harry Potter", chose themes like "Pacific Rim", and he is getting farther and farther away from famous directors. ”

"Auckland Sports News" asked: "Zhou Xuan is not doing a good job of making movies in the offseason. If he doesn't practice during a holiday, will he still be able to play good stats next season? ”

It is undeniable that Zhou Xuan is becoming more and more popular, whether it is praise or belittlement, he has to occupy a large news page.

What is also surprising is that Zhou Xuan also showed full confidence, the most intuitive embodiment of which is that he signed a contract and chose the "dividend system" with zero salary, which is a consistent practice of Hollywood commercial films. In this model, whether the film is popular or not is directly related to the actor's income, so the actor will work harder.

Zhou Xuan actually doesn't care how much he earns, just to seek novelty and excitement.

On July 4, the group flew to Hong Kong on a special plane, and the movie was about to officially start filming.
