Chapter 384: Mrs. Niu and Britney
Yao Ming stretched out his long legs and lay comfortably on the chair by the court, watching the young players on the court with his eyes slightly closed, of course, he opened his eyes and closed them slightly.
Many of these young players have just returned from training camp in Lufei.
Although there seems to be no obvious improvement in technical strength in the past after a summer of training, neither the sense of position on the court nor the rationality of handling the ball are the same.
Yao Ming has a faint feeling that the Chinese men's basketball team may rise in the world basketball arena with the growth of this group of young people.
During this time, he actually had a more comfortable life, because the Asian Championships did not need him to play, this summer, in addition to daily training, both physical fitness and body have recovered, what he needs to do is to adjust his body and prepare for next season's title defense.
A few days ago, the Chinese team finally won the Asian Championship with difficulty, mainly because there were too many young players sent out this time.
Not only did Lu Fei and Wang Zhizhi not play with him, but even veterans such as Battle and Li Nan had very little playing time, and the Basketball Association was also ruthless, even if they sacrificed the Asian Championships, they had to train newcomers, so the players on the court basically belonged to the second team of the Chinese team, and Du Feng, who was born in 81 in the main rotation, was considered the oldest player.
In the end, with the outstanding performance of young players, the Chinese team won the championship without danger.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of other countries, the Chinese team is stronger now than when it participated in the Athens Olympics last year, not only in Asia, but also in the face of European teams.
Just when Yao Ming was thinking about whether the Chinese team could go further in next year's World Championships, Liu Wei hurriedly walked over and said, "Da Yao, have you seen today's news?" β
"What's the news?" Yao Ming sat up with his hands propped up his body, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, is there something big about it?" β
"It's not a big deal for me, but it might be a big deal for you." Liu Wei took out a newspaper from behind him: "This is today's sports weekly, look at the headlines on the front page." β
"What's so mysterious?"
Yao Ming frowned slightly and took the newspaper, only glanced at him and couldn't leave the newspaper, the front page of the newspaper was O'Neill's harmless black face.
"Wasn't it rumored some time ago that the Rockets were going to trade O'Neal, but I didn't expect him to be traded, he is your biggest opponent in the NBA." Liu Wei sat next to Yao Ming and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat: "The most important thing is that he actually went to the supersonic." β
"It's really hypersonic." Yao Ming continued to read the newspaper while snatching the water cup from Liu Wei's hand, and he also needed to drink saliva to digest the news.
Originally, last season and the SuperSonics played inextricably in the Western Conference Finals, but this season they seem to have fought hard and brought O'Neal here, and it seems that it is a trade made for the Lakers.
To be exact, it is to target Yao Ming.
Liu Wei continued to chant on the side: "This supersonic speed is really like a tiger with wings, Lu Fei, this kid is really lucky, they seem to be going to the championship this year, the supersonic lineup is too strong, Lu Fei and Ray Allen's backcourt double guns, Rashid Wallace and O'Neal's inner line, the young players on the front line are also very strong after these two seasons, the most important thing is that this lineup is not expensive, and other teams are estimated to be envious." β
Yao Ming was also amused by Liu Wei, Liu Wei is right, the SuperSonics are indeed the most enviable team in the league, because their two young cores, one starter and one Super Sixth Man, Lu Fei and Brandon Roy, are cheap to death.
Just like last year's Lakers.
It's a pity that Yao Ming's contract extension this year has reduced the Lakers' salary space a lot, and the reinforcement will definitely be affected, but this has nothing to do with Yao Ming, this is the contract he deserves.
However, are O'Neill and SuperSonics really compatible?

Philadelphia
It's a small and inconspicuous arena. But here the local players have filled the entire arena. On the field, ten big men were running on the field, and the game was not lively. There is no need to introduce other people, just name two people and understand why so many people are watching from the sidelines.
Kobe Bryant, Richard Hamilton.
These two men used to be heroes of the cityβat least that's what everyone thought they were in high school.
The team of the two of them swept all the teams, allowing everyone to see the growth of the strongest force in the NBA league in the future.
After entering the NBA, the two returned to train here in the summer, looking for the happiness of the past with their former friends.
Before Kobe Bryant could sit down in his seat, Hamilton, who had already rested off the court, casually threw the towel over.
He didn't say thank you either, and Hamilton got used to it.
"How?" Hamilton said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm sweating a little." For Kobe, this level of competition is actually a game between friends, and if it weren't for his former teammates, he might as well stay in Los Angeles to train.
"By the way, can you put the mask on, you take off the mask, it's a little ugly."
ββ¦β¦β
Hamilton felt that there was nothing to talk about with Kobe Bryant on this topic, so he changed the subject: "By the way, did you hear about the SuperSonics deal a few days ago?" β
"You're talking about Shaq?"
"That's right, I was always worried that the superSonics target was our team's Ben, but I didn't expect them to shoot and the target turned out to be Shaq."
"I feel like you're going to mess up in the West, the SuperSonics are already strong, and now they have Shaq, Kobe, and I pray for all your teams in the West."
Kobe Bryant shook his head: "Not necessarily, you know, the supersonic system is a bit special. β
"Besides, the boss of the supersonic is that guy......"
"You mean Lu?"
"Yes, don't look at Lu is usually a very amiable person, in fact, he is the same kind of person as me in his bones, Shaq is fine if he plays honestly, but if he wants to fight, then I think it is not a good thing for supersound."
How will supersonic get O'Neal adjusted...... Kobe Bryant's eyes came to mind with the desire for victory in Lu Fei's game: I was really looking forward to it!
β¦β¦
Finally, as soon as the NBA staff went to work that day, the NBA officially announced that the deal between the SuperSonics and the Rockets officially took effect.
Other words
O'Neal officially joins the SuperSonics!
The entire NBA was shaken, and even a few weak teams in the West questioned the league, so do you still let other teams play?
David Stern had the urge to scold his mother.
MD, when you were trading, you disliked O'Neal, O'Neal, and now it's hard to let the Rockets find their next home, are you still not happy?
Lu Fei felt a little like laughing when he heard the news.
It seems quite appropriate to change that sentence - she was called Mrs. Niu at the beginning, but now she wants to call someone Xiao Tiantian?
