PS: The pace has been accelerated a bit, and the transactions in the article will also change a lot from reality, not only the Magic but also other teams, as the chapter name says, the era of giants will come earlier than now.

"Of course, why don't you believe Wood?" Otis. Smith said with a smile.

"Almost, it always feels like everything is going too fast, is it our jet lag that caused all this?"

"Maybe, Chauncey is a player who pursues honors, obviously a championship can't satisfy him, Detroit is still competitive in the East, but everyone knows that they have gone from a championship-level team to an Eastern Conference playoff powerhouse, and we are not very good? While we haven't made any big moves at the moment, I flew to his home in Denver to meet him and his agent. ”

"You impressed him?"

'Obviously, yes, I described to him what we have to do, Wood, Chauncey is a great player who is seriously underrated, I think there's a lot of things you can learn from and I told you that he's not coming to take your place, whether it's in the team or on the pitch, that's not going to change.

Otis. Smith stressed again that now that many media in the United States have begun to provoke such a stir, he doesn't want Lin Sen to be embarrassed by that.

"Otis, don't you worry, I still don't understand this? Honestly, the offseason has just begun, and I can't wait for the new season to begin. ”

"Me too, I can even imagine those guys knowing we brought in Sean. Battier and Ron. Artest's surprised expression, and the other Pole did quite well in the summer league. If nothing else, he will start in the NBDL and become Dwight's backup. As for Eddie. Griffin: I'm still in touch. There should be an accurate response within a week. ”

"I understand." Linson for Otis. Smith's attitude towards him is naturally clear, and he even dares to assert that even Kobe Bryant and Duncan may not be able to be treated so favorably and politely by the uniform team, of course, Lin Sen also knows that all this is due to the huge benefits he can bring to the team.

Just like Forbes announced the team's market value last year, the Orlando Magic rose from 350 million the previous year to 450 million, ranking sixth in the league, and Forbes even bluntly said that 80% of the Magic's market value rise comes from the joining of Lin Sen, and Lin Sen will also become another super cash cow in addition to Yao Ming.

"What's the good news again?" David. Falk looked at Lin Sen and asked.

"Yes, good news, Chauncey has joined us. However, Otis didn't say how big the contract is, but no matter how big it is, I think it's worth it. ”

"Yes, that's right, his value can't be measured by a contract, you can learn from him in the new season, he's good for your progress, you have an Adidas promotion in the afternoon, and then an interview with the program in the evening, take a good rest." David. Falck patted Linson on the shoulder, and then stepped out of the superRV that Disney had prepared for Linson.

The U.S. side didn't stop because it was late at night, and Detroit fans angrily attacked the Pistons' official website. Obviously, they are quite angry that the team failed to keep Billups, although the official news has not come out at this time, but the news of Billups joining the Orlando Magic on a five-year, 60 million contract has already spread.

And Joe. Dumas's villa is surrounded by hundreds of fans. The angry shouting of the fans kept Dumas awake at all.

"Damn, how can I be blamed for this, I have shown sincerity, I have increased from 50 million to 60 million in 5 years, this is his own choice, he is a traitor." Dumas looked out the window and said angrily.

"Sorry, Richard, it was my choice, but I'll always remember the days when we fought together, but unfortunately that's gone, since Ben's departure." This is a text message from Billups to Hamilton, Hamilton's phone call to Billups is already turned off, and as a teammate who has played side by side with Billups for many years, he also understands Billups' choice.

Lin Sen's Adidas promotional event was held at the Tokyo Stadium in the afternoon, and the stadium, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, was packed with fans, which was an unbelievable spectacle in Japan, a country where basketball is not very popular.

Just when Lin Sen was participating in the publicity campaign, David. Falck and Linsen, who were in charge of the Japanese side of the economic team, were invited to Mt. Fuji TV to discuss an exclusive interview in the evening.

When Lin Sen returned to the hotel after a busy day, he fell asleep early, and the next morning Lin Sen devoted himself to the shooting of Armani's advertisement, and was also surprised to see that his advertising partner was Kitagawa Keiko, but the content of the advertisement was not complicated, Kitagawa Keiko is a professional actor, and Lin Sen was praised by the director for his acting ability.

It only took less than three hours in the morning for Lin Sen to complete the exclusive advertising shooting of Armani Japan, and when he was leaving, Kitagawa Keiko took the initiative to ask Lin Sen for his phone number, and of course Lin Sen did not refuse.

In the afternoon, Lin Sen visited Yuhiko Inoue, the father of Slam Dunk, together with the senior management of Disney and the person in charge of Toei Animation Xiangguang.

Surprisingly, the cooperation that had not been able to make the trip before, this time it went exceptionally well, Inoue Yuhiko agreed to authorize Toei Animation to build a slam dunk theme park, and even gave a clear answer to Disney's request to recreate a basketball comic set in the background of Lin Sen, but Inoue Yuhiko did not answer 100% but promised that with Haode inspiration, he would try basketball again.

"Really, this is a great honor for me, thank you very much!" Lin Sen bowed to Inoue Yuhiko.

The translator immediately translated his words, and Inoue Yuhiko laughed: "Just like I said before, although we are not of the same nationality but have the same skin color, just like Huaxia Liu Xiang, he is not only the pride of Huaxia but also the pride of all people in Asia, and you are the same, not to mention that I did not expect that my work would be the driving force behind your success, which is also a supreme honor for me, and it also makes me see that the basketball dream of the yellow race will not end because of the surprise of the race." Undoubtedly, your success will inspire more yellow people to fight for their dreams. ”

Just left Inoue's residence. The excitement of the person in charge of Toei Animation could no longer be hidden. Looking at the excited conversation with the person in charge of Disney, Lin Sen is the same, not only because of a possible promise from Yuhiko Inoue, but also because he, a Slam Dunk fan, can see the birth of the Slam Dunk theme park.

Toei Animation and Disney reached an agreement before they came, and once they were able to convince Inoue Yuhiko to authorize the two parties to jointly fund the construction.

And David. Falck is naturally not willing to give up this opportunity to make money, in addition to Lin Sen's endorsement, Lin Sen will also participate in the investment in the name of Wood Company, how much this is not something that can be decided now, Lin Sen is not very concerned about him believing in David. Falck can help him with everything.

At 8 p.m. on July 4, U.S. time, during a program on Linson, the Orlando Magic officially announced the signing of former Houston Rockets chief assistant coach Tom Murphy. Thibodeau also signed Thibodeau's colleague Steve Brown. Clifford. And both of them are big contributors to the Houston Rockets' defense that has been the league's first in recent years.

Just after announcing the signing of the two, the Orlando Magic announced the signing of Patrick again. Ewing, as the team's assistant coach, signed three assistant coaches in a row, although not as good as the signed players, but still caused a lot of sensation.

Especially Tom. Thibodeau is recognized as a super defensive coach in the league. Angie and Doug. Rivers has also been pursuing Thibodeau in the hope that he can become the Celtics' chief assistant coach, and both believe that Thibodeau will improve the Celtics' defense.

And signing Ewing is undoubtedly for Dwight. The growth of Howard and Milicic, these three targeted signings also make Orlando Magic fans look forward to the performance of the coaching staff next season, after all, a Haode coaching staff can bring out the team's ability and even magnify it several times.

However, this did not prevent some media from ridiculing the Orlando Magic. Lewis even tweeted: "Yes, they beat a lot of opponents and signed an enviable coaching staff. But does Orlando expect Coach Haode to grow the defensive hole into a super defensive giant? ”

Otis. Smith didn't have the time to respond to that, and Orlando Magic fans didn't care. The new season has not yet begun, and the Magic has just announced that it is accepting tickets for next season, setting a record for Magic ticket sales in just one day.

Looking at the fiery ball market, Otis. Smith was full of confidence, and Lin Sen, who was far away in Japan, flew to Seoul overnight a day later for the second leg of his Asian tour.

In Japan, Lin Sen only had a little scandal with Kitagawa Keiko, which disappointed many Lin Senmi, especially the Lin Sen fans in China, who also expected Lin Sen to be able to kill in Japan to promote the prestige of the Chinese country, and then go to South Korea to show their might, but the first stop in Japan disappointed them.

So much so that Lin Sen went to South Korea, and fans were not looking forward to it.

In the United States, with the opening of the door of the trading market, the rumors of the trading market have suddenly evaporated in the past few days, and compared with the previous crazy rumors, there is almost one heaven and one underground.

What is disappointing is that the rumors that were originally looking forward to the transfer seem to have died down all of a sudden, and Kobe Bryant, who had directly hit the management. Bryant also publicly told the management at the press conference at the opening of the bootcamp he held, which surprised everyone.

Then, on the morning of July 6, U.S. time, the super-big names in the free market, who were once associated with the Orlando Magic, were associated with Vince . Carter announced that he had agreed to a five-year contract extension with the New Jersey Nets.

And right in Vince. Shortly after Carter announced his stay, a reporter from Chicago media outlet The Chicago Tribune revealed that the Bulls and the free agent on the team, Argentine Andres Anderson, who was chased by many teams. Nochioni has reached an agreement to renew his contract, which will result in a five-year contract worth approximately $38 million.

In addition to Rassad, who was signed by the Houston Rockets on the free market. Lewis and Chauncey, who was signed by the Magic. Outside of Billups, the choice of two players in a row to stay has once again dashed hopes that the free market would boil over.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who then reached the Eastern Conference Finals, also entered into negotiations with Vallejo after losing the chase to Milicic, and finally announced that the Bulls would keep the Brazilian Anderson, who had performed well on the team, after the Bulls announced the extension of Nocioni's contract. Valejo, while the two sides will sign a five-year contract of almost forty million.

The continuous retention of big-name players, coupled with the fact that the big-name players who were originally talking about transfers have basically not been traded, has also made experts begin to estimate that this year's free market will be far less crazy than imagined.

However, at this time, the Orlando Sentinel and the Sacramento Bee simultaneously revealed that the King and the Magic had made a multi-player deal.

The release of this news has also aroused the interest of many people, after all, the media of both sides revealed it at the same time. People also can't help but speculate about who is involved in the big deal.

"Orlando. I'm coming! ”

This is Ron. Artest tweeted the latest news on the afternoon of July 5. And the appearance of this Twitter message immediately made people exclaim.

"What beast Artest went to Orlando? God, Orlando is going crazy! This is the first thought of many people when they hear the news.

If the shortcomings of the Orlando Magic last season are not only the offense, then the most obvious is the defense of the front guard, and the defense of this position is also the transit point of the team's internal and external defense.

It also led to Milicic and Howard on the inside facing a lot of pressure from the outside, and once Artest joined, then this problem will be solved, although Artest's off-court is not favored, but no one will deny Artest's ability on the court.

Especially the ability on the defensive end, Magic fans think of the horror that Artest, who wore a Pacers jersey two or three years ago, averaged less than 9 points per game against players throughout the season. There's no one who isn't excited about next season's Magic.

Tekoglou also wrote on his Twitter: "Thank you Orlando, thank you to the fans here, thank you to my teammates, thank you to my bosses and coaches, I wouldn't have grown without you." ”

Tecoglou's Twitter message directly confirmed that the Orlando Magic's trade with the Sacramento Kings was true, and those teams and players who had been quiet couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and no one wanted to watch their opponents continue to strengthen and do nothing.

Just to the team Daoqian Kobe Bryant. Bryant said again after a morning that he wanted the team to strengthen: "I know Mitch will make the right choice, Orlando is getting stronger, I think everyone knows that, but I believe Mitch can also bring a beautiful future to Los Angeles." ”

In the evening, the Orlando Magic and the Sacramento Kings announced a deal at the same time.

The king will send Ron. Artest plus five protected first-round picks in the first five of next year and a second-round pick next year get Magic's Sheedo. Tekoglu and Kailana. Azubuuk and next year's second round and the first round in '09.

However, just as Magic fans are expecting Dwight. Howard, Darko. Milicic, Ron. Artest, Chauncey. Billups, Linson and Chris. Webb, Grant. Hill, Devon. Brown's main rotation lineup next year will not be able to make up for this year's regrets. The official Orlando Magic website has once again announced that the deal will involve a third party.

And this third party is the Houston Rockets, and the player involved is the defensive titan Sean that many teams are trying to get. Battier.

"God. I don't know how to describe tonight, it's a lucky day for Orlando fans, they have enough capital to fantasize, oh no, to expect next season's O'Brien Cup to be theirs, and of course Houston is doing well this summer, and I look forward to Houston and Orlando meeting in the finals next season. "Charles. Barkley tweeted after seeing the news.

The Houston Rockets will send Sean. Battier gets Orlando Magic's inside bench Toney. Barty was also a top-five protected first-round pick from the Sacramento Kings.

Although Orlando Magic fans are very interested in Tekoglu and Azubuke, Tony. Barty's departure was a bit reluctant but was able to get Artest and Sean. Battier's two defensive maestros are undoubtedly worth it.

"They traded one Tekoglu for Artest and Battier, we can't do it, Anzu is much more valuable than that Tekoglu, I know my forcing is wrong, but I don't want my Daoqian to make the team give up reinforcements, do you expect me to take such a group of teammates to take back the glory that belongs to the Purple and Gold Army?" Bryant. Bryant said into the phone.

It's ten o'clock in the evening, and Mickey on the other end of the phone. Kupchak was silent, because what Kobe Bryant said was really good, and he was very interested in Otis. Smith's operation was envious. Even think Otis. Smith just spoke in a good tone. Otherwise, how could he use one Tekoglou to get two players of his level or even better than him.

No matter what Kupchak thinks, he can't change the fact that the Magic are constantly reinforced. And the continuous action of the Magic after a few days of silence also made the fans feel satisfied, and Orlan Multimedia also knew that the action of the Magic at the beginning of this summer was basically lonely, and the rest was some minor repairs and plans for the future, after all, how to play a good hand is the key.

But in any case, the Orlando Magic's successive big swings have made all teams with expectations not calm, and the same is true for the Houston Rockets in the West.

Originally, the Houston Rockets were the powerhouse of the West, although they relied more on the duo of Yao Ming and Maddie, but now the Rockets have gone Sean. Battier signed Rashad who can provide consistent scoring for the Rockets. Lewis, while Rashad. Lewis' defense wasn't too bad either, while the Houston Rockets also got Magic's Tony. Buddy. Tony. Barty's arrival will also be a good way to make up for the Rockets' interior problems.

In addition to that, the team though traded away Raff. Alstom, but everyone knows the Portland Trail Blazers once and Steve. Francis reached a buyout agreement, and Francis is likely to reject a big contract and return to Houston for a low price, in which case the Rockets will be very reinforced.

East Magic West Rockets, the two teams are in the league's spotlight almost four months away from next season.

The continuous reinforcement of Rockets and Magic also made the originally cold trading market hot again, and Lin Sen's Asian tour also came to Hong Kong from Beijing under the hot trading market.

The NBA on the Pacific side has also made a lot of noise, with defending champion San Antonio Spurs and free agent Argentine Oberto completing a three-year, $10.5 million contract extension, and for the Spurs to retain the stability of the roster, the most important thing is to preserve the lineup.

And the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been complained by Kobe, used 6 years and 30 million to keep Luke, who played at the real level in the eyes of experts last season. Wharton, though left Luke. Wharton was right. But experts scoffed at Kupchak's offer of a six-year contract.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers brought back Fisher, who played for the Utah Jazz last season, with a sum of about 3 years and 14 million, which is not a big addition for the Lakers who are weak in the point guard position. At the same time, the team is on a three-year contract and the team center Chris Brown. Mime agreed to a contract extension, but such a reinforcement is not a reinforcement at all for the Lakers.

However, the other teams have started to operate substantially, and Indiana's leader O'Neal Jr. is infinitely closer to the New Jersey Nets.

Traded in the draft to get Ray. Allen's Boston Celtics have been in constant trade scandals, and the Minnesota Timberwolves leader Kevin Murphy has been in constant veil of scandals. Garnett is getting closer and closer, and at the same time, the Boston Celtics announced that they will sign James with a 1+1 mid-level contract, who played for the Miami Heat last season and contributed to the Heat's championship. Posey.

Although there is a shortage of major generals, he has Paul. Pierce Garley. Allen's Celtics no one doubted that they would make the playoffs. The addition of Posey has further strengthened the team, and at the same time, Kevin has been in the midst of rumors. Garnett made a choice.

It was already 10 p.m. Hong Kong time on July 12, and at this time Lin Sen received an international call from Garnett.

"Wood, I'm going to Boston, don't think you're going to be a championship team if you make up for it, I'm going to keep you out of the East."

As soon as the phone was connected, Garnett's voice came from the other end of the line.

Joining the Boston Celtics?

Lin Sen immediately thought that the Celtics would have a terrifying Big Three, and this lineup would undoubtedly have a big impact on the Magic.

"First of all, I have to congratulate you, I hope you can make your dream come true, but I still have to say that my Orlando will not lose to Boston."

"Really? Look at your hard mouth, then you will know that the Celtics are the strongest, be careful that you are beaten and cried by us. Garnett on the other end of the phone said with a smile, but Linson could still hear Garnett's reluctance to leave the Timberwolves.

Lin Sen laughed: "I can't wait for the start of next season, at least three times a year, there will normally be four meetings, I believe my team and I will tell you who is the strongest in the East." ”

When Garnett hung up the phone, the Timberwolves in the United States officially announced that they would send the superstar Wolf King Garnett, who has played for the team for 12 years, to the Boston Celtics. Angie immediately admitted the authenticity of the news in an interview, and suddenly the whole United States became a sensation again.

Kevin. Garnett, Ray. Aaron, Paul. Pierce is enough to scare the rest of the team when they are on their respective teams, not to mention that all three will wear the same jersey next season.

If the Magic and Rockets continue to strengthen and make other teams in the East and West that have achieved something in the playoffs start to act, then the Celtics' formation of the Super Big Three at this moment really makes those teams not stay in simple negotiations, and even pay a greater price in order to reach negotiations.

On the second day of the Boston Celtics, it was officially announced that the Celtics would send Eyre. Jefferson, Gerrard. Green, Lane. Gomez, Sebastian. Telphi, Theo. Ratliffe and two future first-round picks (one is the Celtics' top three picks in 2009 and the other is Ricky's 2009 pick. Davis traded Szzebiak in a deal in which the Timberwolves coped with the Celtics in the first round) and some cash to get Kevin. Garnett.

Although the whole league knew the day before that the deal would be a little problematic, it shocked a lot of people when it did happen.

"We need reinforcements, especially at the back line, we don't have a bad interior line, we need more defenders besides Pavnovic, Larry is not really a defender." LeBron, who was on vacation in Hawaii. James returned to Cleveland immediately after seeing the Celtics complete the Big Three.

Cavaliers general manager Ferry looked at James in front of him, he naturally understood James's thoughts, but the team's salary space was gone, and the team owner was a stingy guy.

"We shouldn't care about spending money for the championship, and if we don't even want to spend it, I really need to think about whether we should stay here." James said it decisively.

"I'll report to the boss, in fact we're also in a row Mike. Bibby, he's in great form, but the problem is the contract, and if I can convince the boss then I'm going to sign him. Ferry assured.

Three days later, the Cleveland Cavaliers officially announced that they had signed a contract with Mike. Bibby reached a formal agreement, and Mike. Bibi jumped out of Zuihou's one-year contract, and the Cavaliers will send a five-year, 50 million contract for 10 million.

Cavaliers sign White Devil Mike. Bibby also shocked the whole league, you must know that although the Cavaliers lost to the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals, the biggest problem was that they appeared on the guard line, and the guard line was directly blown up by Linson.

And now Mike. Bibby's arrival will undoubtedly effectively solve this problem, plus the original team's internal line. Wallace, Igoskas and Vallejo, who has just signed a contract extension, are the three big men, while James and Pavnovic are at small forward, and Larry is at the back. Hughes.

Although the Cavaliers only signed one person, the growth of strength was recognized.

"Magic, Celtics, Cavaliers, the Age of Giants is Coming" -- Yahoo Sports uses this title.

"Oh, shit! They're all crazy, it's time to announce our new moves. "Otis. Smith said to his assistant very calmly, and his heart was full of anticipation for the start of next season. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you to the three madnesses - Dances with Wolves and Depressed Doudou two big monthly passes!

Recently, the rhythm of the chapter has been written a little slowly, and I originally wanted to write some well, but the pace is really slow, so Xiao Ai has accelerated the pace in this chapter, and in addition to magic, he will introduce some big deals from other teams as soon as possible, and then he will simply bring over the international competition, and next season will basically come!

For the arrival of the giant era next season, ask for recommendation votes!
