It's no secret that the summer of 2010 was the NBA's biggest free agent market in recent years, but the summer of 2009 also had a big piece of the pie before aiming for that moment.

TNT expert David? Aldridge recently did an analysis of this year's free agent market. In his opinion, 2009 is not inferior to 2010, but he also pointed out that those teams who want to sign are more or less facing financial problems.

The biggest prerequisite for signing free agents is money, and in today's increasingly serious financial crisis, this may become an important reason for the flow of free agents. The owners of NBA teams are mainly from the construction, IT, entertainment and airline industries, which are all industries that are greatly affected by finance, so the owners do not dare to burn too much money now. As with the brokerage landscape as a whole, everyone is tightening their wallets and cutting back on expenses.

The owner started to save money, but what about the team's own ability to make money? Since the beginning of the season, teams have generally seen a decline in revenue, a decline in advertising sales, and a lack of home attendance. The Lakers, Knicks, Warriors and Suns are now the four best teams in the league to earn money in the market, while the rest of the teams are not so rosy. In the first two months of last season, the average single-game ticket revenue for the 30 teams was $894,000.

A team executive, who asked not to be named, told the author that his team earned $250,000 less per game than last season. There were 41 home games throughout the season, which meant that the box office alone would cost the team more than $10 million in less revenue.

One of the team's marketing development CEOs said, "Teams don't want to pay luxury tax right now, and with the local economy in Indiana, they really can't afford to pay luxury tax." ”

The Warriors are a typical example of cyst shyness, but fortunately they sent Biedrins away, otherwise Zhou Xuan and Randolph could only renew one contract in the future. Golden State fans have fallen in love with the fat man, and the manager won't let him go.

Chris? Mullin could only strengthen on the premise of saving money, and he signed rookie De Juan? Blair, Gerard the Freed? Green, who later traded cash for Spurs' No. 53 rookie Nando? De Corlo's signing rights. Spurs already have Patty? Mills, who doesn't want to sign another defender.

De Colo is a two-way guard from France, 22 years old, 196CM tall, weighing 91 kg, poor athleticism, excellent mid-to-long range shooting, and introduced him as a replacement for Dolby.

At this point, the Warriors' lineup for the new season is almost confirmed, at most, they will find two more people to play in the preseason, and at the end of the lineup will be 15 people.

In Los Angeles, a streetball heavyweight finally came to compete with Zhou Xuan, the famous "bone collector" Larry? Williams.

"Bones", which debuted in 2001, conquered the audience in New York with dazzling dribbling and unbelievable passing moves. This kind of superstar on his first appearance at Rock Park hasn't happened in 6 or 7 years. The list of NBA guards he ate was as follows: Jamal? Tinsley, Larry? Hughes, Byron? Davis, Stephen? Marbury and so on...... The 2002 EBC released a DVD of highlights, and only two players had a personal column on it: Kobe Bryant and "The Bone Collector."

"Bones" claims to be the No. 1 street player in actual combat. Eight years have passed, and his strength is still there. The kids on the sidelines say that the words of NBA stars speak for themselves, "bones make them like fools." People say he can't play in the NBA, he's short, he's thin, doesn't like to pass, and he's not fast. However, he will humiliate those who play in the NBA in the concrete field of Rock!

Before "Bones" went abroad, he failed to compete with Zhou Xuan in Rock Park, and as soon as he returned to China, he replied to Zhou Xuan's email. Mitchell had already found his contact information, hoping that he could compete with Zhou Xuan and discuss it behind closed doors. In the email, Zhou Xuan's attitude was very sincere, not to prove his strength, but to enrich his offensive means, mainly for learning, and Zhou Xuan was willing to pay.

Speaking of which, it would be too faceless for "bones" not to agree, so when he arrived in Los Angeles, he didn't have to pay Zhou Xuan, and the two of them had one day, and they could fight enough.

"Bone" took a ride to the Oak High School training hall, met Zhou Xuan, and greeted the other four.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but I'm looking forward to you." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Larry is a little embarrassed, although he is a street fighter, but the NBA players don't think very highly of him. There are four NBA players here, one future WNBA player.

Zhou Xuan Zhengse said: "No, I have admired your name for a long time, we are going to go to Europe to participate in the streetball competition next month, but we are not from a formal streetball background, if you can guide us for a day, I believe it will be very rewarding." I can't wait to see your breakthrough. ”

With a few top hats on the belt, Larry was also very happy, and there was no doubt that he was an old qualification.

"If you want to play streetball in Europe, you do need to know something. Although some European countries do not pay as much attention to basketball as football, there are also masters, especially many people with good physical fitness, I can try to help you, but only one day, how much can you learn? Larry laughed.

"I've always been a quick learner."

The choice to play streetball in Europe was discussed with Mitchell, and most people think that American streetball players are the best, but in fact, Europe is not bad, but it is not so famous. Some streetball dunks will make moves that are not seen in the NBA slam dunk contest, all kinds of tricks. Zhou Xuan wanted to go and see it, borrowing the strengths of each family.

After the warm-up, the two started fighting. The other four also stopped practicing and watched the battle from the sidelines. It's a real closed-door discussion, only a few of them watch, and there is no equipment to shoot.

Larry attacked first, dribbled on the right side, approached the opponent little by little, waited for the opportunity to lower the center of gravity and dribbled under the crotch continuously, the ball returned to the left hand, Larry held the ball and glanced to the right, his body paused slightly, and pulled up when the dribble under the crotch of his left hand was halfway through, and changed direction to the left side to break through.

HIS EXPLOSIVENESS IS NOT BAD, AND PULLING BACK AFTER WEARING GEAR IS HIS USUAL ACTION, ZHOU XUAN FOLLOWED, AND LARRY RECEIVED A "FAKEHESITATION", WHICH WAS CALLED "WORSHIPPING FO" BY CHINESE FANS, WHICH WAS VERY VIVID. It looks very much like a wrist flip, and when the ball is pulled back, there will be a pause in the hand, and the non-ball handler will get infinitely close to the ball, causing the opponent to think that he is going to hold the ball and shoot, and then pass.

Usually opponents will be passed when they encounter this move. Zhou Xuan followed from the side, because he didn't look at Larry's eyes and shoulders at all, and the afterglow kept paying attention to his hips. And he didn't believe Larry would use a jumper. If the persecuted "bone collector" can only jump in front of him, even if he loses, it is not ugly. This trick "worships the Buddha" Zhou Xuan saw that Alstom had used it, and he himself would do it, but Larry's rhythm was even more weird. This ball wrist can be turned or not, can not be generalized, people who do not do well will make a wrist turn. Zhou Xuan has been working on this trick recently.

He has understood the essence of Payton's defense, to adapt to all changes, to keep himself in a state where he can change direction to the sides at any time while moving, and then when the opponent's hips move, determine the direction of the breakthrough.

I rub! Can this also keep up? Larry was very surprised, pulled the ball back, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and came to worship the bottom line again, Zhou Xuan did not move sideways, half turned around and took a step, jumping up and blocking. Larry used a low-hand throw to dodge the block and score on the high board. However, he knew that the ball was not completely shaken, and Zhou Xuan could block it if he was a little faster or jumped a little higher.

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, received the ball and attacked, dribbled under the crotch in the middle continuously, and paused lightly with the ball in his left hand, the action was exactly the same as what Larry had just done. Larry immediately had an idea, he also wanted to use that trick to "worship the Buddha", but Zhou Xuan attracted Larry's body to move to the left after a pause, but his right hand was staggered. The left hand stepped down and dribbled to a "killer crossover" with the right hand, then pulled the ball up, jumped to the basket, and scored an easy layup. 1 to 1.

Larry attacked, dribbled under the crotch and handed it to the left hand to make a "worship Buddha", after a pause, he did not break through the left side, but dribbled under the crotch and handed it to the right hand, pulling out a step away, Zhou Xuan followed, Larry pulled the ball up, broke through to the right, and Zhou Xuan followed from the side, maintaining a distance that could be blocked.

"It's amazing, no wonder it can sweep the New York Street Court without a beat. Most of the street players are just good at attacking, and this guy is too good defensively. Larry figured out the reason why Zhou Xuan always won heads-up.

When Larry was about to get to the basket, he pulled the ball back and retreated, Zhou Xuan was not a good choice at this time, if he didn't follow, the opponent might jump and step forward, and the opponent could use "worship Buddha" again. He made a defensive feint, taking a small step and sticking his neck forward, which wasn't pretty, but it worked. Larry held the ball and burst again, and Zhou Xuan immediately retreated to follow and intercepted the breakthrough route. Larry quickly turned to the middle, jumped with all his strength and shot with one hand, Zhou Xuan also jumped up, but did not block, reached out to seal his eyes, and shot out of the frame.

Zhou Xuan attacked, slowly approaching Larry, and spread his arms to make the dribble wider, which did not help much, but could increase the enjoyment. He leaned over with the ball and stretched out his right hand to feign a pass. When the hand reaches directly above Larry's head, the right hand flips the ball to the right.

This is a trick that Zhou Xuan learned in New York, after turning his wrist, if he succeeds, the defender will turn back to find the ball, and the ball has actually returned. At this time, you can pass people directly, you can also shoot, if you feel that it is not safe, you can add a step back, or even smash the defender's back to dribble.

Larry didn't look back to find the ball, because it was heads-up, and there was no one behind him, but he was still taken aback, because this was the signature action boomerang of "Hot Sauce", Zhou Xuan had already learned a good look, and someone on the New York Street Court would.

Zhou Xuan pulled the ball back, dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, paused with the ball in his right hand, and approached with his left hand. Larry thought he was going to "worship Buddha" again, but Zhou Xuan really took the ball with both hands and pulled it up and jumped out. 60 degrees on the right side, one step inside the three-point line, he is the most accurate at this point, hollow into the net. 2 to 1.

Larry swallowed and spat, how can this be instructed, he is already a street fighter!
