(Have a great weekend, everyone!) )

On July 20, 2008, the NBA officially announced that the Knicks were Jamal Murphy. Crawford and Golden State Warrior Eyre. Harrington swapped. After the completion of this humble deal, the New York 'giants' who are aiming to rebuild have completed the roster for the new season.

Due to the time and space, the Knicks completed the team's trade and signing early, thanks to the leadership of veteran Chapman, who has a strong support for head coach D'Antoni.

Stephen. Marbury's ****, Zach. Randolph left Memphis, and the Knicks threw off two of their biggest baggage. With the departure of some free agents, there are also opportunities to sign players in the free market.

In the process of exchanging draft picks with the Timberwolves, Marco. Jarric's garbage contract was eaten by the Knicks, so they had two players at the point guard position, Sun Yi and Jarridge, and then signed the 37-year-old veteran Darrick from the free market with a base salary. Martin, announcing that the position is ready.

Due to Crawford's procrastinating style of play, the new head coach D'Antoni was very unappreciated, so this outside killer, who was later called the 'Super Six' by fans, had to leave Golden State. The Knicks' point guard, only Kun Ting. Richardson singled out. Chapman, a scout, had to 'scout' from the free market, and the two young men who were laid off were lucky to get back on the job. Last year's All-Star Game slam dunk champion 'Nine-Fingered Maniac' Grad. Green, who signed with the Knicks with a three-year salary of $5.5 million, can get 1.44 million this season. Shannon cut by the bull. Brown was signed by the shrewd Chapman for the league's lowest price of $800,000 a year.

At the small forward position, the young Wilson. Chandler performed well last season, with a clean style of play and tenacious defence that D'Antoni greatly admired. Moreover, Kun Ting. Richardson could also make a cameo in that position. Therefore, the Knicks signed 31-year-old Ivey with a base salary of 800,000. Stolly and 24-year-old Steve. Novak.

The power forward has future All-Star-caliber player David. Lee, it's a pity that Coach D'Antoni still doesn't look down on this big man with average athleticism, if it weren't for the fact that the annual salary of only $1.79 million is too cost-effective, and it can't be exchanged for a player of equal value, it is estimated that it would have been put on the shelf long ago. Al who has just been traded. Harrington, as well as Darko, an affiliate of the Randolph deal. Milicic makes the position of power forward highly competitive,

The center forward is known as the 'East Olney'. Curry, though, this guy won't be able to handle the NBA's intensity until he loses weight. If Chapman knew that Curry Jr. was dragging more than 200 kilograms to report when the team assembled for the new season, he would have regretted not trading him off in the offseason.

Because of the limited salary space, the Knicks can't compete with other teams like O'Neal Jr., Elton. Brand, Reeve. A high-quality inside resource like Lafrentz. Had to sign Aaron. Veterans like Williams, as well as retaining Randolph, who has a softer style of play. Morris.

In this way, the 15-man plastic surgery of the New York Knicks for the 08-09 season can be considered complete. The annual salary of the players is listed as follows:

Eddie. Curry $9.72 million

Al. Harrington 9.32 million

Kun Ting. Richardson 8.69 million

Daktronics. Milicic 7.02 million

Marco. Jarich 6.58 million

Sun Yi 3.88 million

David. Lee 1.78 million

Aron. Williams 1.69 million

Gerrard. Green 1.44 million

Wilson. Chandler 1.17 million

Left to Darik. Martin, Xiangnon. Brown, Ivey. Stolly, Steve. Novak, Randolph. Morris has a league base salary of 800,000.

The New York Knicks' total salary for the new season is $55.29 million, which is more than three million short of the salary cap of 5,800. For the first time in years, teams don't have to pay the luxury tax to the league. For this matter, the boss James. Dolan even went berserk. We have a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if the results are there, but the team must have a star flavor, popularity, and highlights, which is what the wealthy Knicks look like. That is, for the sake of Chapman's many years of diligence and dedication to the team and himself, it is necessary to put aside the ordinary people and leave. Chapman and Pan came out with their own plans and assurances that the new season's style of play would definitely satisfy discerning New York fans, and they temporarily escaped this crisis of confidence.

If it weren't for the addition of Sun Yi, a Chinese player, Chapman probably wouldn't have had the courage to challenge the boss's bottom line. However, after all, it was Dolan's own person who was brought up by his own hand, and Chapman knew the other party's arrogant personality very well. The tide of sycophants and the selling point of Chinese player Sun Yi in New York in the new season finally made the boss cloudy.

Judging from the Knicks' patchwork lineup this season, they belong to a typical rebuilding team. Although, before the team of Zach. Randolph and Jamal. Crawford is considered an All-Star player, but he is not liked by D'Antoni, who is good at small-ball play and seven-second offense.

In addition to the rebuilding reasons, Chapman and D'Antoni's other goal is to prepare enough salary space for the '03 'Platinum Generation' James, Wade, Anthony, and Bosh, who will become free agents in 2010, so that they can take at least one of them to regain the Knicks' former glory.

During the days when Sun Yi was training for the national team, Sorrentino has been in Wang Weimin's Tenglong Company, watching the pair of 'Sun Generation' semi-finished products on the assembly line in the workshop continue to be baked.

When he got a first-hand look at the Knicks' roster for the new season, the Mediterranean man smiled happily. Like Woning. General managers like Chapman who keep their promises are almost extinct in the NBA. Backtracking seems to be what they should do, like Bulls general manager Paxson.

Sorrentino believes that the Chinese basketball talent will definitely let people see his true strength in his rookie season......

On July 27, 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team became the first batch of Olympic athletes to officially settle in the Olympic Village.

"Brother Sun, what are you looking at?" Sun Yi, who was waiting in line to handle the fingerprint identification system login function, asked his roommate next to him with a puzzled expression.

"Look at the girl!" I don't know where Sun Yue, who participated in the Olympics for the first time, learned that the foreign girls in the Olympic Village were very easy to use, no, as soon as she came, she began to look for her own goals.

"I'm rubbing! If you want to do that, I won't share a dorm room with you. In case it rolls into my bed, it's disgusting to think about. ”

"Shhhh It's not okay to keep a low profile, a little bit low-key. ”

"Then you'll have to promise me......"

……

Antique buildings with oriental characteristics can be seen everywhere in the Olympic Village, so that many foreign athletes who come to this ancient civilization for the first time can't help but marvel at this country with a history of more than 5,000 years erected on the land of China, and its profound historical precipitation.

For a large-scale team event like football basketball volleyball, the cycle of competition is generally very long, and most of them are the first to settle in the Olympic Village, and the last group to leave. Of course, if you are eliminated halfway, you will have to return to your home country early or disband.

Tamara. Abalde followed the Spanish women's basketball team to the Olympic Village on July 28, and was hailed as a national treasure. Because, the two can finally meet again.

The Chinese delegation is located in Area A, and 500 meters to the south through the central square is Area B, where the European delegation is concentrated. Sun Yi and Tamara have always kept in touch, so he knows that his girlfriend is just a stone's throw away.

……

Sun Yi, sitting in the athletes' cafeteria, was wearing a conspicuous sports jacket for the Chinese delegation. The chic and sunny appearance, coupled with the faint scar at the corner of the left eyebrow, adds a bit of intoxicating toughness.

Many female athletes who pass by this beautiful man can't help but slow down their pace. Some bold girls who want to come to talk to each other are mostly forced to retreat by the temperament of 'don't get close to the living' exuded by the other party.

Sun Yi was a little bored with the straw and kept stirring in the cup of juice. Glancing at the time on the phone, why is the girl so inked when she goes out. More than ten minutes have passed since the time they agreed.

Just as the young man was thinking about how to 'punish' the other party for a while, a sweet voice sounded in his ears.

"Hey! Sorry, I'm late! ”

Oops! The guy who had been waiting for a long time had already heard who was coming, but he still couldn't believe his ears. This girl has come out and learned to apologize.

"Ugh! Who is this? Sun Yi, who had just gotten up, found that his girlfriend Tamar did not come to the appointment alone, but brought a companion of the same age and height, and it seemed that they should be teammates.

The Latin in the other party's mouth made the Chinese guy have to look at his girlfriend for help.

"She's saying hello to you, this is my teammate and roommate, Alba. Torrance. Although both girls wore uniform Spanish delegation sports jackets, Tamara's feminine face was clearly well-groomed. She looks like a beautiful lily, pure and lovely.

No, why is this girl so quiet today. Looking at the elegant and well-spoken girlfriend in front of him, Sun Yi really can't connect with the masked girl after winning the NCAA championship.

Due to the existence of 'Light Bulb' Torrance, the Chinese guy who wanted to complain had to swallow those fleshy love words back into his stomach, even if 'Light Bulb' couldn't understand English at all, the 'sullen' Sun Yi couldn't say it.

The chat between the three of them can make Tamara tired. Especially when talking about basketball, Torrance and his boyfriend communicate significantly more. The stunning beauty who was unwilling by the boss in her heart had no choice but to be the translator of the two.

"Alba said, 'You're not the opponent of the world champion Spanish men's basketball team,' and of course, I see it that way." Since the Chinese men's basketball team and Spain are in a group, the direct confrontation between the two teams has naturally become a topic of conversation for the three.

This Spanish men's basketball team can be said to be the strongest in team history, and there is no one. With the Gasol brothers on the inside, and Rudy on the outside. Fernández, 'Golden Boy' Rubio, 'Bomb' Navarro, Jose. Calderon and 8 other NBA-level players.

Judging from the books, in addition to the star-studded 'Dream Eight Team', the strength of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games is the strongest squad of Spain, the double champion of the World Championship and the European Cup.

"Haha!" Sun Yi seemed to have heard a funny joke, and during the training camp for more than a month, his teammates in the national team showed good strength, which made him very confident to face any opponent. Especially Yao Ming, as O'Neill ages, he can definitely be called the 'world's No. 1 center'. With such a superstar teammate, coupled with the distinctive ambitions, Ah Lian, Sun Yue, veteran Li Nan and others, Sun Yi's confidence is now bursting to the extreme.

After putting away the smile on his face, he said solemnly: "Okay, let's see." But let's think about how you two are going to win against our women's basketball team. ”

The women's basketball team at the Olympics kicks off one day earlier than the men's basketball team. On August 9, the opponent of the first game of the Spanish women's basketball team was the Chinese women's basketball team playing at home. The Chinese women's basketball team, which has a good combination of old, middle and young people, is still far from the strength of the United States and Australia, but it is still between the Spanish women's basketball team, which has made rapid progress in recent years.

The arguments between the three over who is strong and who is weak, who wins and who loses, it seems that they can never agree on it. Tamara, who was busy translating non-stop, could clearly feel the fiery gaze from her boyfriend's shining single eyelid eyes.

It seems that bringing Alba with you today was the right decision. Otherwise, you'll be bullied by that villain. Although she thought so in her head, the girl's heart was still sweet. After all, the two haven't seen each other for almost four months, and who knows if this new NBA tanhua show will empathize with each other. It seems that my worries are a little unnecessary.

……

As the first game against the United States approaches, the training intensity of the Chinese men's basketball team is on a downward trend. Every morning and afternoon, one and a half hours of training each, mostly based on some fun games.

The coaching staff, led by Younas, pays great attention to the mediation of the psychological state of the players. The rhythm of training is tight and loose, and the emotions of the boys are well controlled.

There was no training at night, and there was no iron sliding door blockade in the Olympic Village. Many players who don't want to stay in the athletes' apartments will go out for a walk in twos and threes, after all, the environment of the capital Olympic Village, which has been built with a huge amount of money, is still very good. Of course, whether they are going to enjoy the scenery or taste the beauty, it is impossible to tell the sharp knife.

Sun Yi's roommate Sun Yue is not quite the same as most of his teammates in the men's basketball team. This good-looking guy from Ji Province, after training every day, will put a thick layer of hair wax on his hair in the dormitory. It looks like shiny hair, and it is estimated that even a fly can't stand on it.

When everything is ready, this oily-haired and powdery guy will hum a little song and shake it out step by step.

Every time Sun Yi asked him what he was doing, his roommate would always reply with a mysterious face: "You are still young, you don't understand the world of adults!" ”

Okay, then let's wish this energetic guy a good harvest. (To be continued.) )
