Before the start of the season. The Knicks' contract extension is almost complete.

The most important one is naturally the renewal of the contract with Chen Jiyuan. There is no doubt that the Knicks gave Chen Jiyuan a fixed-salary contract extension and a five-year contract of 83.7 million US dollars. Chen Jiyuan naturally signed his name without using it.

In fact, in this contract, Chen Jiyuan suffered. Because in later generations, for the sake of Rose, the league changed the rules for signing contracts. This is also known as the Ross rule. The specific rule is that if a player before the end of his rookie contract meets one of the three conditions of being selected to the All-Star team twice, or to be named to the All-League team twice, or to be named the MVP of the regular season, his contract extension salary can be up to 30% of the team's required annual salary, instead of the 25% of the previous salary cap. Because it was first used in Ross, it is called the Ross rule.

Chen Jiyuan has fully met this condition. Chen Jiyuan has been selected as an All-Star three times so far. In the year of the Cavaliers, two years in the Knicks, because of the strength of Chinese fans and Chen Jiyuan's strength is still good, Chen Jiyuan is already a three-time All-Star. And, even in terms of being named to the All-League Team twice. Chen Jiyuan has also reached it. Because last year, Chen Jiyuan was the center of the league's best team. And this year, Chen Jiyuan is the center player in the best lineup. In other words, if there were Ross rules, then the contract that Chen Jiyuan could get now would not be the current number.

But it's a pity. Perhaps it's because Chen Jiyuan's two conditions are less impactful than Rose's regular season MVP.

Speaking of which, in fact, the NBA's Season All-Star team is quite golden. Although it may not be able to fully prove anything, at least the people who can make it to this list are definitely good in that season's table.

For example, the 2009 NBA All-NBA Team of the Year is the All-NBA Team of the Year. The league's best team for a while. The five players are Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki. Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan is also the first time to enter this list. However, it was not as excited as I expected, just slightly happy. Because Chen Jiyuan felt that his strength was recognized by everyone.

The number of the five people in this team is Wade, who averages 30.2 points, 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. James, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game. Bryant, 26.8 points, 4.9 assists and 5.2 rebounds, and Dirk, 25.9 points, 2.4 assists and 8.4 rebounds. Chen Jiyuan had 30.5 points, 3.5 assists, 12.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.

Although the number of blocks has decreased compared to last year's Chen Jiyuan, the number of blocks has increased a lot, and the defensive efficiency has also increased rapidly. This is a signal, a signal that Chen Jiyuan is putting more energy on the defensive end. A Chen Jiyuan will definitely pay more and more attention to the signals of his own defense.

Speaking of which, this year's Howard is definitely quite good, but he was still pressed by Chen Jiyuan. It can be said that it is quite depressing.

This season, Howard averaged 22.6 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.9 blocks per game. And Howard's deterrent power on the defensive end is unmatched. This season, Howard got his wish to become the NBA's best defensive player. This is the best affirmation of Howard's defensive skills. But even so, Howard still has no way to surpass Chen Jiyuan. NBA scoring champion for two consecutive years, 30+10 in the season. If such a number becomes the second team in the league, it will be an unbelievable deposit.

Howard has now hated the rules of the NBA's first team. Howard has reason to believe that he is more qualified to be on this list than Dirk Nowitzki, but helplessly, Howard's position is very clear about the center, there is no doubt about this, Howard's team is even equipped with a lineup of one inside and four outside for Howard, and then you sue me that Howard is a power forward, are you kidding me?

Since 1956, the All-Star has been based on one center, two strikers and two defenders. So Howard had no choice but to stay on the second team.

The five players on the 2009 second team were Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, and Paul Pearce.

Speaking of which, the Celtics have just won two consecutive championships, and it is the time to become famous, but because there are three superstars in a team, it is inevitable that they will lead the diversion of the ball. This led to a significant drop in Paul Pearce's count. Even if you are a player in the championship, you are only 19.5 points, 3.6 assists and 5.6 rebounds, which is still difficult to convince.

Chen Jiyuan's survival, but speaking of which, Yao Ming's big brother is also quite miserable. is obviously a player in the second team, but because of Chen Jiyuan's storage, this second team can only fall into the third lineup. And even worse is the big shark. Unexpectedly, because of Chen Jiyuan's storage, he simply fell out of the best lineup this time. It's so hard to accept,

In this way, O'Neal's number of times to the All-Star team has stayed at 13. It is unlikely that he will be on this list again.

Abdul-Jabbar, who has the most distances, has no chance to catch up. This opportunity can only be left to others.

After Chen Jiyuan's contract extension with the Knicks came out, it did not surprise anyone, on the contrary, if Chen Jiyuan did not renew his contract with the highest salary, it would definitely cause an uproar immediately.

After getting the contract renewal with Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks got the contract renewal with Sessions non-stop. As the team's starting point guard, Sessions naturally can't be too mean.

Latin gave Sessions a five-year, $40 million contract. This contract is already quite good. Especially considering that Sessions is still just a second-round rookie and a guy who's only played for a year or two.

However, the most surprising thing was that Sessions turned down the contract. Surprise everyone. When he heard the news, Chen Jiyuan also gouged out his ears, and then asked Latin to say it again to confirm whether he had heard something wrong.

Soon, though, Latin gave Sessions the reason for refusal. Sessions said it was okay to renew his contract, and he was very happy in New York. However, it is not like signing such a long contract. Sessions feels that his strength will grow, and he will be matched with tens of millions of contracts. So, now don't want to be stumped by a long contract. Sessions wants to sign a one-year contract with the team. An annual salary of $5 million is fine.

The Knicks offered a five-year, $4,000 contract, which is definitely very good. The average annual salary is 8 million per year. Although the first two years will be less. But that's a real $40 million. And now, Sessions has taken the initiative to throw away about $3 million. It's a lot of confidence in your future.

You have to know that 3 million US dollars, that's more than 10 million yuan. It's like, you buy a lottery ticket and you win two, no, it's three tickets that don't cost 5 million grand prizes. Who are you stupid enough to tear up these three lottery tickets? I'm sure no one would do that except for mental illness.

Chen Jiyuan also couldn't understand why Sessions was so confident, but Chen Jiyuan felt that he still couldn't let Sessions leave the team at this time, otherwise, the blow would be too big. So, soon, Sessions' contract was signed.

The news of Sessions' signing of the contract didn't surprise people, but it was only when Sessions turned down his previous contract that it would be a surprise, and everyone started to get a little interested in the guy. There are no limits to confidence. How confident do you have in your own growth to turn down a contract that seems absolutely impeccable to outsiders, and then choose a contract that is close to the middle class to renew for another year.

In any case, the team has temporarily renewed everything that should be renewed, and everything that should not be renewed has been traded. Well, all that's left is to wait quietly for the new season to begin.

Because he was in New York for the entire offseason, Chen Jiyuan came to the court early before the team began to assemble and began to practice his recovery.

After Chen Jiyuan, Sessions, Lefou, and others gradually returned to the team. And just a few days before the team gathered, Chen Jiyuan learned that Latin had found the person he wanted.

This man is Matt Barnes, the league's famous villain. The road to pursuing Matt Barnes is relatively simple, mainly depends on Matt Barnes's own wishes, because Matt Barnes is a completely free man, so as long as Matt Barnes agrees to the Knicks' offer, then there is no problem at all. And Matt Barnes also wants to play on a team that has the ability to compete for a championship, which is one of the reasons why he did not renew his contract with the Warriors.

However, Chen Jiyuan is still quite optimistic about Matt Barnes, after developing a three-point shot and good offensive ability under the hands of the Warriors' crazy scientist Nelson Sr., coupled with the already good defensive strength, Matt Barnes has become quite popular.

However, Matt Barnes obviously saw the Knicks' table last season, and the contract given by Latin was also the best, so in the end, Matt Barnes was brought back to the team as he wished. Matt Barnes' contract is a one-year, $1.7 million contract.

Chen Jiyuan was also very happy after seeing Matt Barnes, and Chen Jiyuan was even more confident in the new season.
