At the end of the NBA season, the discussion on the Internet has not stopped, and the "Xuan fever" continues to heat up.

There are more people in China who like to play basketball, especially in junior high and high schools. Basketball training camps have been held in China, and the number of participants and parents who inquire about the situation has increased significantly, and Chinese basketball is vaguely overshadowing football to become the first competitive sport in China.

In the past, high school students who were about 1.9 meters tall were all inside linemen in school, at least they also played power forwards. Now they like to develop in the direction of point guards, working three-point shooting, mid-range shooting, dribbling, and passing.

Guo Jianmin, president of the Canadian Youth Sports Association, said: "Zhou Xuan's success in the NBA has inspired many Chinese teenagers to work harder, and the NBA has always been a world of black and white people. ”

Nowadays, Zhou Xuan is particularly popular with Chinese children, and the Canadian Chinese Youth Sports Association even proposed to hold a "Zhou Xuan Day" event, and the response was very enthusiastic.

The New York Knicks are even more blatant in courting Zhou Xuan, hoping that he can join New York after his contract expires.

The New York Times said: "Now Zhou Xuan's football skills, image, adaptability, mentality and answering reporters' questions will become the news of the American sports edition, which makes it difficult to estimate his future worth and huge business potential, some people say that with Zhou Xuan's current trend, the commercial value will exceed $5 billion by the time he retires, which is only a preliminary estimate." ”

However, Zhou Xuan really has no reason to join the Knicks, and he is very happy with the Warriors. Now there are fans in San Francisco and Oakland asking to create a song for him.

Now this "Xuan fever" has also been blown to the "International Basketball Industry Forum" held in Beijing, almost every lecturer mentioned Zhou Xuan, and almost every participant was talking about Zhou Xuan. The NBA also attaches great importance to this, saying that Zhou Xuan has become a bigger star than Yao Ming, so that more people will care about the NBA. Zhou Xuan began to reverse the notion that Chinese can't play basketball well because they don't grow tall.

It is reported that Zhou Xuan's No. 9 Middle School is planning to erect a statue for him to encourage students. For this reason, the vice principal also went to visit Zhou Gaozhuo and Martha, showing full sincerity, hoping that Zhou Xuan could visit the school when he returned to China in the future. It would be nice to be able to attend a school celebration.

Some people are particularly pleasant, and some people are haunted.

Lakers fans, who have lost the playoffs for the second year in a row, are depressed. The Lakers' management isn't worrying either. Kobe Bryant's team lineup is not strong enough, and the small forward and point guard positions are flawed, and they need to bring in more good helpers. At least one position has to be strengthened, and someone who can defend and shoot three-pointers is selected. Such a person is not easy to find, at least a full middle class, and next season will not be too much of a surprise, the Lakers will have to pay more luxury tax and use a team with a record-breaking salary to attack the championship.

Kobe's agent also said that he refused to renew his contract early and wait until next season. This is a wishful thinking, if the lineup is strengthened next season and the Lakers win the championship, Kobe Bryant has a reason to ask for a maximum salary for contract renewal, and if he can't win the championship, he can take the contract renewal and force the palace a little.

To make the superstar loyal, the management also has to pay a price, Kobe Bryant is the symbol of the Lakers, and the Lakers can't let him run no matter how much they spend.

Depressed and Clippers owner Donald? Sterling, this uncle has been depressed for a year, and he has a lawsuit with Lord Baylor, and he is angry. The daughter did not get married, and made a statement to "come out", which made him completely devastated. He didn't want to spend any more energy playing basketball, so he was ready to give it to his eldest son and let him watch it.

The Clippers didn't have good news, as they won the No. 1 pick at the May 20 lottery and paid off handsomely. A lot of teams in the league are eyeing this year's Blake? As for Griffin, the Clippers drafted him with a future star. This season, I don't need to make up for it, put it on the shelf for one year, and then pick a good rookie next year, and when O'Neal's contract expires in 2010, there will be 20 million salary space, and the free market is promising.

Unfortunately rookie DeAndrew? Jordan. His shortcomings in basic skills were laid bare, shooting less than 40 percent from the free-throw line. Can't shoot, can't play power forward, and is in an awkward position. The Clippers are gone, and Camby is coming in again, O'Neal, plus Chris? Carman, he can only be the third substitute for the center, averaging 2 per game this season. 3 points 2. 6 rebounds.

The two teams in Los Angeles are suffering because of the Warriors, but Zhou Xuan plans to go to Los Angeles for a vacation, which is ironic.

The Rockets were more unlucky than the Clippers in that they didn't make the playoffs, while the Houston Rockets ran out of draft picks due to trades they had made over the past two seasons.

In 2007, the Rockets sent Greek guard Spanoulis to the Spurs in exchange for Luiz? Scola signed the right to sign a 2009 second-round pick and some cash. Before this season, the Rockets in order to get Ron? Artest puts veteran Bobby? Jackson and rookie Donte? Green was given to the Kings, along with a 2009 first-round pick. It is this series of actions that is equivalent to the Rockets putting their two draft picks this year on the exchange of Scola and Artest, but I believe that no matter which team will make such a choice. It's just that they didn't expect Maddie and Yao Ming to be injured.

Artest is already a completely free man, in Maddie's condition, how can he not be traded, Yao Ming is injured again and again, Artest does not want to stay at all, and wants to join a strong team to win the championship.

Although the Rockets no longer have a draft pick, if the Rockets value a rookie, they can still get a late pick through a trade or cash purchase. Rockets general manager Morey has made it clear in a previous media briefing that the Rockets are planning to use some cash in exchange for a 2009 draft pick from other teams. The money used in exchange will be the money saved by sending Francis away.

Morey did not reveal which positions he would focus on to look at. It's widely believed that NBA teams will trade away some of the last first-round picks to avoid the luxury tax.

Previously, players in these positions in the draft were not considered very attractive, and they often looked for ways to play overseas, with European teams offering bigger contracts and more games to show their quality to NBA teams. Usually after playing overseas, these lesser-known players move up 10-15 picks in the draft. However, under the influence of the global financial crisis, the prospects of the European market are not optimistic, so these players have also discouraged the idea of playing abroad. This is the only good news for the Rockets, who want to make a difference in the summer of '09.

After celebrating the championship, the Warriors players prepared to take their vacations. For the first time, they were the latest in the league to take a holiday. Last season they had a break from mid-April.

The day after the parade, the news came out that the elder Nelson held a press conference to announce his retirement.

Originally, he planned to finish his last one-year contract with the Warriors, but because of the championship, he decided to bring forward his retirement date.

"I'm tired, and I have no regrets." Nelson Sr. said, "I love basketball and I'm not going to put that feeling on hold. I'm going to follow NBA games as a fan. It's time to give way to young people. ”

Nelson Sr. also mentioned that it would be good for both parties to resign and retire now, as the team has a few months to find a new manager and get in touch with the players during the regular season.

The old Nelson, who retired bravely, is not short of money, it is not easy to bear too much pressure at the age of 70, and the team will fight to defend the title next year, but he has talked to Marion, Marion will definitely not take a salary cut to renew his contract, and it will not be easy to defend the title successfully next year. He couldn't stay and the fans could be disappointed. Leaving with a championship and he ended his career perfectly.

The reporter asked: "Do you have any plans after retirement?" ”

The elder Nelson's answer surprised people. "I want to go back to the University of Iowa and get that bachelor's degree from 50 years ago, and go when I have time."

To get a "diploma 50 years late" is also an anecdote. In 1962, the elder Nelson ended his studies early and chose to become a professional footballer, and from then on his resume had to write the word "college dropout". Now, at the age of 71, Nelson wants to erase that embarrassment.

After the press conference, Zhou Xuan called the old Nelson to greet him. He wanted to treat Nelson Sr. to dinner, but Nelson Sr. said that he would not be polite, he would fly to Minnesota today to "meet teachers" with his family, and then go on vacation to Hawaii, and he might also stay there in the future.

On Maui, Hawaii's second-largest island, Nelson Sr. has 4 properties, including a beach villa, and it's time to enjoy his old age, maybe with a diploma, and he's just playing a little joke on the media.

Summer Manager Chris? Mullin and Richmond are busy, they have to participate in the draft, try to find a useful person with the 28th pick in the first round, and they have to consider finding someone to replace Marion, in order to avoid the high luxury tax, they will not be able to give Marion the expected annual salary of 10 million yuan.

Nelson's retirement is bad news, and if the new coach is not qualified, it will be difficult to hold down the Warriors, and the excellent old coaches are all coaching, which can be a problem for the Warriors.

Of course, Zhou Xuan doesn't need to use his brain for these things, it's useless for him to think too much, and the people in the management won't listen to him if they have their own opinions. All he had to do now was relax.

With a few pieces of clothes, Zhou Xuan drove to Los Angeles with a small bag on his back.

Mitchell has booked the Zen Suites Hollywood for him, featuring an outdoor pool and a fitness center, including free parking and free Wi-Fi, as well as an indoor flat-screen TV. The private bathroom has everything you need, and extras such as ironing facilities are also available. There are 9 places to the center of Staples. 3 km from Sunset Boulevard. 3 km.

My girlfriend ran back to China without a sound, and the phone was turned off and I couldn't be contacted. This made Zhou Xuan worried and a little angry, and he had to find a few friends to talk to relieve the pressure.
