On June 20, Zhang Yu and Yao Ming returned to China together, the Knicks and Rockets were both in the offseason, and the issue of the trade was left to be discussed after August.

Yao Ming saw Zhang Yu holding Xia Wei's hand on the plane, he had never seen this mixed-race girl, reading the report in the past few days, he thought that Zhang Yu had found an American singer girlfriend, and he was half envious in his heart! Now I see Zhang Yu pulling a more beautiful and proud mixed-race girl, I am so jealous!

This is not the end, there is a flower like jade behind Zhang Yu, Ai Yue'er with a more delicate face, like an oil bottle, she has to follow the two of them back to China.

Ai Yue'er is indeed a large light bulb, her parents are not in China, she has long emigrated to Europe, her excuse is to come back to worship her ancestors, but in fact she doesn't even know where her ancestors are buried, anyway, she can't get rid of them by hanging on the back.

"Although I couldn't drag it out, it seems that I have achieved the task of hugging left and right!" Zhang Yu snickered in his heart, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he thought of the five-haired girl who added his phone to the blacklist.

Zhang Yu and Yao Ming returned to China to participate in the Asian Championships in August, but with their status, they would not join the training camp so early, and they could join the team in mid-July, and the two had a month's vacation. Especially Yao Ming, although he was not injured in this time and space playoffs, the old injuries accumulated over the years also need time to recuperate.

The Knicks have already said hello to the Basketball Association and hope to limit Zhang Yu's playing time, and try not to play more than 20 minutes except for the finals. Zhang Yu's agent, Dan. Fagan did not negotiate, and directly asked the basketball association not to use his players too much.

This is a black face and a white face greeting the Basketball Association together, and Zhang Yu himself also expressed his position. I don't want to play too much time in the Asian Championships. Yao Ming also released the wind with him, and the attitude of the little giant was the same as Zhang Yu, which was under 20 minutes. The two can play more time in the final.

Zhang Yu and Yao Ming's attitude can be said to be very arrogant, not only not to pay much attention to the Basketball Association, but also to their opponents, as if the finals can be entered casually, and the championship is readily available.

However, the Asian media and fans really can't argue that the two don't have to play together. Take out just one, and with the strength of the Chinese team, it is easy and happy to win the championship in Asia. In addition to the core superstars of their two NBA teams, the Chinese team also has NBA starters like Yi Jianlian. For an NBA veteran like Wang Zhizhi, it is difficult to win the World Championships and Olympics, but the strength of the Chinese team in Asia is indeed much higher than other teams.

Especially Zhang Yu, who is only 19 years old, this kid is recognized as the strongest rookie in the history of the NBA. Now compared to him are Chamberlain and Jordan. The only person on active duty who can compare to him is LeBron. James. Before the Asian Championships began, the fans of Japan and South Korea had already defected, and now most of the basketball fans in Asia are Zhang Yu's fans, even if they encounter the Chinese team and their own country at war, they are also equal and relative, and will never boo the red rabbit.

In the month of rest, Zhang Yu filmed advertisements everywhere in Asia to receive endorsements, counting money until his hands cramped. Cinnabar. Fagan is now one of his players. The most profitable is Zhang Yu, and the current ability of Warcraft Howard to absorb gold is less than 30% of Zhang Yu. It is conceivable what level Zhang Yu's current ability to absorb gold has reached.

Zhang Yu's sneakers are now about to come out of the third generation, of which the global sales of the "second generation of rabbits" have surpassed Kobe Bryant, who has just won the championship, and is the player with the most sneaker sales in the league. That's not counting the fact that the price of his sneakers is still 30% more expensive than Kobe Bryant, who won the championship. James is 50% more expensive.

Even Steve Jobs is now planning to make a global limited edition "Rabbit iPhone3G", Zhang Yu knows that in fact, Apple is already producing 10,000 red iPhone3G, which will be sold worldwide as a rabbit limited edition, and each is expected to cost $998!

At the end of June and the beginning of July, Zhang Yu traveled to almost all the well-known cities in Asia, staying in one city for two days and rushing to the next, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Dubai, Seoul, Busan, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila......

Xia Wei and Ai Yue'er followed Zhang Yu halfway through and ran back to Shanghai together, the two girls felt that this kind of journey was too boring, although the cities they went to were good, but they didn't have time to sightsee, and the daily itinerary was densely packed with them. Fagan's team had already arranged what Zhang Yu would do for a day, and could only accompany Xia Wei to roll the sheets at the hotel at night.

Xiao Limen followed Zhang Yu, the real purpose was to let the media expose his relationship with Zhang Yu, so that Ai Yue'er would secretly worry about it. At the beginning, it was true that many media found it incredible, and it was clear that Zhang Yu and Taylor were exposed not long ago. Swift's intimate photos, although not as good as Guanxi's brother, but there are also photos of kisses, which is enough to confirm the relationship between the two. The result was faster than the turning point of the bloody TV series, and after a while, Zhang Yu's girlfriend became a college classmate. What's going on with Swift?

Taylor. Swift had long since returned to New York, but the paparazzi didn't know it yet, thinking she was now staying in her hometown. Wumao Girl's company announced to the outside world, Taylor. Swift is working on a new album, and she and Zhang Yu did fall in love for a while before, but the man split his legs and has now broken up. For the time being, Swift will focus all his energy on the creation of a new album.

Zhang Yu has been paying attention to Taylor. Swift's news, he didn't care if he was scolded and split, and now he suddenly remembered that the Wumao girl said that if he was sorry for her, he would write himself in her work, so that girls all over the world could see what kind of bastard he was!

"Damn, why do I have a bad premonition?" After Xia Wei and Ai Yue'er returned to Shanghai first, Zhang Yu saw Taylor in the hotel. Swift's news had a bad premonition.

He didn't know it at this time, Taylor. Swift has quietly returned to his apartment in New York, and he doesn't know what he is secretly planning.

On June 29, 2009, the NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. As expected, Griffin was elected "No. 1 pick" and will become the new leader of the Clippers in the new season.

The Grizzly Bear took away the "Uncle Mu Second Generation" Hashem with the "Bangyan Sign". Thabit. The 2.21-meter center, known as the "African Hill", also became Tanzania's first NBA man.

The original Seattle SuperSonics, now renamed the Oklahoma City Thunder, selected Arizona State University's James Murphy in third place. Harden. The guard, who played against Zhang Yu in college, is a bit lacking in height as a shooting guard, but his strength is strong enough to handle NBA-level physical confrontations.

The New York Knicks have two first-round picks, one of which was traded from the Nuggets last season and is No. 20 and the other is No. 23. Except for the two first rounds. They also have a second-round pick with the 12th pick.

The Knicks were the No. 20 pick and selected Ty. Brown from the University of North Carolina. Lawson, this is a defender with a height of 180cm. Fast, strong, blitzkrieg. Zhang Yu in college and Thai. Lawson has fought it, the media predicted. Height will be his NBA bottleneck.

Then in 23rd place. The Knicks selected the University of Southern California's Ty. Gibson, this is a guy and the old champion Kenyon. Martin's similar style player, 206cm tall and weighing 240 pounds, is an athletic forward with outstanding arms, who is good at running and finishing offense; Shooting averagely, need to increase aggressiveness; The defense is excellent, and he can take care of both individual defense and help defense. The cap is outstanding.

Finally, in the second round, the Knicks selected Marcus Murphy from Louisiana State University. Thornton. In front of NBA scouts, Thornton has at least four fatal flaws: height, athleticism, age and passing. The height of 1.93 meters is too short for a shooting guard, especially in the case of mediocre physique, and the 22-year-old rookie who is running for the draft is a bit "old", which means that the growth space will be curbed. The lack of No. 1 skills will magnify Thornton's lack of height, making it impossible for him to transform into a point guard after entering the professional league.

There is nothing wrong with the Knicks' draft in the eyes of the media, and all three players have their own shortcomings, otherwise they would not have been picked up by the Knicks, presumably as a supplement to the team's expiring contract.

The first round of Thai. Lawson and Tate. Gibson and the Knicks both signed a 3+1 rookie contract, with a guaranteed first three years and a team option for the fourth year, with the right of first refusal. And in the second round of Marcus. Thorton, who only signed a 1+1 rookie contract, is guaranteed for the first year and has a team option for the second year, and also has the right of first refusal.

Great. Lawson's contract is four years and $4.8 million. Gibson 4 years $4 million, Marcus. Thorton 2 years, $1.6 million.

On July 20, with only half a month left before the Asian Championships on August 6, Zhang Yu finally ended his one-month journey to make money, and returned to Beijing with various endorsements and appearance fees, and more than 10 million US dollars. Under the training team sent by the Knicks, they continued to open a small stove to carry out recovery training alone, and the Basketball Association did not dare to let go of half a fart, because Yao Ming and Zhang Yu were together, and the two of them were obviously on the same front.

It is worth noting here that Yao Ming actually went to the Knicks' training team to train, which is a signal to the Rockets. On the U.S. side, various NBA teams have begun to engage and engage for next season's trade, and the Knicks and Rockets have made the first round of offers for Yao Ming's trade, and at this sensitive moment, Zhang Yu and Yao Ming are training together in the Knicks' training team, which is a very obvious signal.

On July 25, 2009, the Knicks announced that the team had entered into a partnership with the team's restricted free agent, David Brown. Lee officially completed the signing. It is reported that David Lee signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Knicks, and also included a $1 million bonus clause.

The Knicks are clearly not prepared to talk to David. Lee signed a long-term contract, this one-year contract allows the Knicks to use this good interior player for another year, and can also use this one-year contract as a trade chip, many teams are playing the same attention as the Knicks, ready to make a big impact in 2010, David Lee's contract can make room for these teams to operate at that time.

James. Dolan fired the smiling assassin Isaiah back in late June. Thomas, the New York Knicks announced that Downey Brown. Walsh becomes the team's new president of basketball operations.

Downey. When Walsh took office, he quickly set about cleaning up Isaiah. Thomas' legacy, with a number of junk contracts, frees up salary space for top stars next summer, and ensures that the total salary is as low as possible under the league's salary cap.

David. Lee's contract was Walsh's first work product, and on July 26, Walsh chose not to renew his contract with Nate. Robinson, apparently intending to use Rookie Ty. Lawson replaces the small potato, who is only 170cm tall.

Chris. Anderson's contract also expires this year, and the Birders are one of the Knicks' most important contract extension targets this summer, and he served as the most important backup last season to win the "runner-up" of the Eastern Conference playoffs. During the regular season, Anderson averaged just 6.8 points per game, but grabbed 6.9 rebounds. The most striking is Anderson's block chart, who averaged the second-highest in the league last season with 2.6 blocks per game, and let's not forget that he averaged just 25.6 minutes per game.

After becoming a free agent this summer, both Anderson and the Knicks are enthusiastic about renewing their contract, and the two sides have enjoyed working together over the past year. Anderson was suspended for two years for violating the league's ban on drugs, but now he's clearly reborn.

Walsh offered the interior stalwart who was a defensive stalwart last season a five-year, $20 million contract, retaining an important rotation player on the inside. Anderson's average annual salary in the next five years is as high as 4 million, but his annual salary next season is only 2.2 million, and there will be a significant increase year by year.

The Knicks have several junk contracts expired this season, especially after Marbury is gone, and with the addition of three new rookies this year, the team has only 13 players. Among these 13 people, there are still bad debts left by Thomas, such as Duhon, an expensive substitute who can't play but has a salary of 5 million, and Quentin, who is even more expensive with 8.5 million. Richardson, with two years left to expire and 6 million a year. Jeffries, these three men are now a burden that the Knicks desperately want to get rid of.

Kenyon. Martin's 2011 team option with an annual salary of 13 million

Gerrard. Wallace expires in 2013 with an annual salary of 10 million

Jamal. Crawford expires in 2010 with an annual salary of 8 million

Quentin. Richardson expires in 2010 with an annual salary of 8.5 million

David. Li expired in 2010 with an annual salary of 7 million

Jared. Jeffries expires in 2011 with an annual salary of 6 million

Chris. Du Hong expired in 2010 with an annual salary of 5 million

Zhang Yu expired in 2011 with an annual salary of 4.5 million

Chris. Anderson expires in 2014 with an annual salary of 4 million

Wilson. Chandler expires in 2010 with an annual salary of 2 million

Great. Lawson expires in 2013 with an annual salary of $1.2 million

Great. Gibson expires in 2013 with an annual salary of $1 million

Marcus. Thorton expires in 2011 with an annual salary of $800,000

The NBA league just announced in early July that the salary cap for the 2009-2010 season was $57.7 million and the luxury tax line was $69.92 million. Any team with a total salary of more than that will have to pay $1 in luxury tax for every extra $1 spent.

The Knicks still have a salary of $69.5 million this season, and their current salary is just stepping on the red line of the luxury tax, and the Knicks don't know how many years have not fallen below this red line, which means a lot to them, and they have finally entered a virtuous circle.
