When the news of Leonard's request for a trade spread across the league, the first reaction of the media was:

It's messy, it's messy!

It's all a mess!

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and Leonard......

These people can definitely sing a big drama in one play.

Especially Leonard, although he has not won the regular season MVP, his performance in the playoffs last year was very "lone hero", if it wasn't for injuries, he almost overturned the entire Warriors team by himself.

Even a lot of the media think that this is a very good chance of happening!

This guy has a slightly higher impression score in the media and among experts than other supergiants.

If he really gets a good partner, won't he be able to ......

Defeated Li Wan?

It's a bold idea, but many media and experts believe it is very likely to come true.

Even if he can't defeat Li Wan, he can definitely become an opponent that will give Li Wan a headache!

It is also for this reason that the media that pays attention to San Antonio has suddenly increased.

Of course, there is also a reason why some media focus on San Antonio because they are surprised.

Supposedly, in terms of Popovich's coaching ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to get Leonard to be obedient, look at Tim Duncan, and then look at Ginobili and Tony Parker, including the "Admiral" David Robinson a little earlier, which is not obedient under him. As far as Leonard's temperament is concerned, why did he fall out?

This can't be used for another 20 years, huh?

So the media were surprised.

But Popovich still avoided talking about it.

The free market is coming, but the next deal that catches most people's attention will come from Toronto and Memphis.

The Raptors signed Paul George, who was acquired early in the season last season, to a four-year, $137 million extension.

Also traded Jonas Valanciunas to get Mark Gasol for the Grizzlies.

Obviously, the goal of the Raptors management is clear, that is, to strengthen the interior defense and top defense ability.

In the eyes of many media, this is also the main reason why the Raptors were directly swept by the Columbus Explorers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

The Memphis media is undoubtedly disappointed with the deal.

Because Valanciunas is just a "strong offense and weak defense" guy no matter how you look at it, and trading the defensive pillar of the interior to get such a guy, it is clear that the Grizzlies are planning to rebuild.

Suddenly trading Gasol Jr. after just reaching the second round of the West last season is certainly not what the media wants to see.

But they can actually understand it......

Gasol Jr.'s age is here, he entered the league in 08, and now he is 33 years old, and his trade value will shrink every year from now on, so it is better to trade him while he has just reached the second round of the Western Conference playoffs and has shown enough interior ability.

Valanciunas does not look as good as Marc Gasol, but he is better than young, youth is capital and infinite possibilities, maybe he can grow up and grow into a top insider?

Didn't Zach Randolph come to Memphis before the "prodigal son turned back"?

This place in Memphis is different from other warblers, and the water and soil here are still quite inside......

Well......

That's all they can do for themselves.

On July 15, there was more and more grapevine in the free market, and the stars who were rumored to be traded, in a permutation, were no longer exchangeable, but so far, the biggest deal on the market was the deal between Marc Gasol and Valanciunas.

On the same day, Taylor Swift gave birth to a second child for Lee Wan in the hospital.

This time it's a girl.

It is worth mentioning that when Taylor gave birth to a baby, Scarlett was also with the hospital, and she held the child in her hand as soon as the nurse reported it.

Li Wan didn't think there was anything.

It is said that the child will look like the first person to hold her.

So when Xiaolu was born, Li Wan was the first to hug it, and now with this appearance, don't mention it.

Of course, Li Wan does not deny that the "godmother group" is well nourished.

Scarlett couldn't put it down, hugged and watched it for a while, and then put the child next to Taylor's pillow.

"You like children so much that you don't have one?" Li Wan looked at her reluctant look and quipped.

After saying that, he felt that he had said something wrong.

Because Scarlett was staring straight at him.

Li Wan: Huh?

Scarlett glanced at Taylor, who was lying on the bed, and pulled Li Wan out of the room: "Lee, Taylor should have advised you to donate*, right?" ”

Li Wan: "...... You know all about this? ”

He knew that Scarlett and Taylor had a good relationship, but he didn't expect that the two sisters had nothing to talk about it.

However, if you really want to say it, these two people are really a little similar in appearance.

Could it be that this is why their relationship is so good?

Li Wan was cranky, and Scarlett suddenly asked: "Then do you know why she asked you to donate*?" After saying that, she stared at Li Wan again. Li Wan was not a stupid person, he reacted immediately, and he subconsciously prepared to go back to the room.

Damn!

What kind of mess is this America, is it playing so much now?

Scarlett leaned against the door and just looked at him.

Li Wan, who was in a catastrophe, decisively took out his mobile phone: "Hey, hey, it's me, what's ......"

"Your phone isn't even lit!" Scarlett rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Li Wanli ignored her, walked straight towards the elevator, and continued in his mouth: "Now?" Oh okay, I'll be right over! ”

"Heh~"

Seeing Li Wan fleeing into the elevator, Scarlett didn't chase after her, and opened the door to accompany Taylor.

She wasn't embarrassed at all.

On the contrary, I felt that it was better to say it.

The old lady is now a "widow" for him, why did he help the old lady give birth to a child, what's wrong?

When Li Wan got out of the hospital, he took three breaths of fresh air, and then calmed down.

Sure enough!

It's still the most simple on the court.

On July 20, the news of the birth of Li Wan's second child made headlines one after another, and at the same time, after "permutations and combinations" for so long, there was finally movement.

It came up with a wave of "king bombs......

The Warriors first signed LeBron James for 4 years and 152 million, and then they completed a wave of super big deals involving more than 10 people with the Bulls, Lakers and Hornets.

The details of the transaction are:

The Chicago Bulls sent Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler, traded for the Lakers' Randle, Lonzo Ball, and Jordan Clarkson, as well as Channing Frye, and Ariza on the Hornets' side;

The Warriors sent LeBron James to get Kevin Durant;

Lakers get LeBron James and Chris Paul;

The Hornets got Jimmy Butler and two contracts from the Lakers that expire next season;

……

After completing the deal, the Bulls quickly cut Channing Frye and signed Zach LaVine, who was out of contract with the Timberwolves.

In just a few days, the Bulls have completed the reorganization of the roster, not only to be younger, but most importantly......

It's the team's salary pressure that has suddenly reduced a lot.

It was also after the deal that the Chicago media exposed more details about the deal.

It turned out that the original Bulls management was still trading with Derrick Rose or Jimmy Butler. They were going to go for another championship.

But......

Kevin Durant was "thundered", he heard that the team wanted to trade Jimmy Butler and Rose, and he immediately said that if either of the two of them left, then I would definitely not stay with the Bulls.

This matter reached the ears of the Bulls owner, who had not brought a championship to the city after all these years of such a big investment, and he was a little physically and mentally exhausted, and now these people are still engaged in gangs, and suddenly his temper has also risen.

Don't stay, right?

Then don't leave it at all!

With a wave of his hand, the Chicago boss officially entered the rebuild.

Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Durant are all on the shelf.

As soon as the Lakers management heard that there was such a good thing, they hurriedly ran around and bragged about what treasures they had on their shelves, and the Bulls management was overjoyed and was about to make a deal, and when they heard that they were going to the Lakers, Kevin Durant did not agree, he immediately refused to renew the contract and was ready to leave as a free man, which was definitely a blow to the Bulls, and they quickly pulled a third party.

As soon as the Warriors heard that there was a chance to trade Kevin Durant, they immediately ran over.

It's just another problem that LeBron James doesn't want to go to the Bulls to bring in new players, nor does he want to go to the Lakers to guard a rebuilt team.

The three-way team that had no choice but to continue to pull people, the Hornets entered the "card game" at this time, took out Chris Paul, and heard that there was a chance to get Jimmy Butler, and they even pulled out Ariza.

Now everyone is satisfied.

The Hornets got Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant went to the Warriors, and LeBron James teamed up with Chris Paul with the Lakers, and at the same time, according to various grapevines, Leonard is also infinitely close to the Lakers and teamed up with LeBron James.

As soon as this news came out, countless Lakers fans immediately "woke up".

Since Kobe Bryant's retirement, they have been in a state of sham except for scolding Lakers management, but they have become more active immediately after hearing that the Lakers are about to gather LeBron James, Leonard and Chris Paul.

You know, there is also a Kuzma in the team!

It's just that they haven't been happy for too long, and the news that Leonard is coming to the Lakers was broken by "steaming" with practical actions.

The Spurs ultimately failed to keep Leonard, but after discussion, Leonard went not to the Lakers, but to ......

Portland Trail Blazers!

Portland management sent Lul Deng and C.J. McCum along with two second-round picks to bring "The Robot" to the "Rose Garden"!

The Trail Blazers have a lineup of George Hill, Leonard, Aldridge and Oden......

And just when everyone thought that there was no big drama this year, Portland management actually did it again...... They sent George Hill and Deron Williams and Mike Conley from the Grizzlies as they prepared to rebuild.

When the deal was made, the entire league was in complete boil......

Because the West has really become the "West of Death" now!

After the Warriors have Kevin Durant's "five small deaths", in the opinion of major experts, the strength will not regress, but will become more terrifying, because Kevin Durant's singles ability is definitely above LeBron James, and the most important thing is that he is also suitable for the Golden State Warriors.

Although the experts have been talking nonsense for a lifetime, Li Wande said that this time these experts are really not nonsense, when Kevin Durant joined the Warriors, the reason why it caused a shock was that he was really too suitable for the Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors with him are known as "Cosmic Brave", and their combat power is really exceeded.

Others don't say, have you heard of "Thanos Zhan"?

It's not good, but after seven games in the Western Conference Finals, it still fell in the Western Conference Finals.

Such a terrible guy, he can't beat "Cosmic Brave", you know how terrifying this team is!

Yes?

You said that the "Thanos Zhan" you heard of me wasn't talking about a person?

You're talking about that "Thanos Jen" in the east?

Is that guy more ruthless than this one in the west?

This one in the west has hit the "tie seven"!

What?

That "Thanos Jen" in the East was shaved head?

So this ......

Can it also be called "Thanos Zhan"?

The Hornets have Jimmy Butler, which is also a huge reinforcement in the eyes of the outside media, because Jimmy Butler is completely Ariza who can attack, and at the same time, he can also share a part of the ball possession, allowing James Harden to play more critical moments.

It is also a very suitable addition to the Hornets lineup.

Not to mention the Trail Blazers getting the Leonard and Mike Conley deal......

Outside offense has always been the weakness of the Trail Blazers, but in the new season, no one really dares to say that the outside of the Trail Blazers can be bullied!

No, it's not!

It's not that no one can bully it.

It's good that they don't bully others!

After closing the deal, Mike Conley thanked his old club on Twitter.

He is now unknowingly turning 30, which is equivalent to giving the most youthful years of his entire career to the Grizzlies, but he wants to shout now:

Youth without regrets!

It's just that the Lakers fans who were still very nervous some time ago are a little embarrassed, and LeBron James and Chris Paul feel extremely embarrassed.

Originally, Leonard came, and they thought the prospects were infinitely good.

There is a rush in this day!

Right now......

They looked at each other and felt like they were in a "nursing home".

They don't think that the other party and themselves can go sideways in the west, especially in the new season, which is already a three-headed "evil dragon" on the bright side!

At the moment, their hearts are all the same:

If the Lakers can't bring in reinforcements, that's really ......

Pill!

The Lakers management obviously knew this, and they immediately robbed Jordan Jr. from the Clippers for 20 million a year.

Little Jordan, who entered the league in 08, unknowingly came to 30 years old, a guy like him who eats by physical fitness, and when he gets a contract at this age, the value will definitely shrink, especially the current league needs more and more space-based No. 4 position, little Jordan, a player who can only grab the board to "eat cake", but can't open up the space at all, is actually on the verge of being eliminated.

How "premium" the Lakers' contract is, it can be seen that it is average.

But how much of a reinforcement does this deal have for the Lakers......

Let's put it this way, the biggest addition to this deal is......

Let the Lakers barely call themselves the "Big Three" in the new season!

Other than for this reason, there is no other hoisting.

Even LeBron James and Chris Paul are not very happy with this deal, compared to Leonard, "Little Jordan" is indeed inferior to the level.

However, this transfer deal is also the league's last big transfer deal this summer.

Mainly, now the alliance has indeed reached the threshold of renewal.

If the "supergiant" declines by one, the alliance will have one less "supergiant".

But the new generation is almost still growing, and there is no "pillar" to stand up.

It should be said or not, although I have been boasting about these drafts in the past few years, there is indeed no star who was as amazing as Li Wan and rose rapidly.

Not to mention the amazing Li Wan, there is no Derrick Rose at this level.

This is one of the reasons why this league makes a lot of fans feel bored.

Even in the era of "jokes", if another Michael Jordan-style player emerges, it will definitely make a large number of fans pay attention to the NBA again.

Again, the ratings really depend on who the first person in the league was at that time, whether it was the 80s, 90s, 00s, NBA's attention is increasing day by day, and since the 10s, the attention has been declining......

And from the 10s, the first person in this alliance, well...... At the same time, he has to be the player who has been the "backdrop" the most times among the first people in the league.

It's also a strange thing, when people are called "the first person in the league", it is often the years when he won the championship, such as Shaq, when he was recognized as the first person in the NBA, that is, when he led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships, when Kobe Bryant was the first person, it was also when he led the Lakers to win the championship, and he could no longer sit on the throne of the first person when he came down from the championship throne.

But there is one man, his fans insist, who started an era in the 10s......

The withering of stars has caused the original NBA to continue to be spurned by fans, not only by overseas fans, but also by domestic fans in the United States.

But that was the original era, and now this era is different.

Because there is Li Wan in this era!

The time came in August, and Li Wan entered the second phase of special training.

In the last stage, Li Wan's main training program was to improve his physical fitness.

After loading Michael Jordan's card, the physical fitness attribute bar of Li Wan became:

"Upper limb strength: 92 (98); Lower Extremity Strength: 95 (98); Waist and abdominal strength: 95 (98); Explosiveness: 90 (99); Speed: 89 (96); Flexible: 91 (95); Stamina: 94 (99); Bounce: 90 (97); ”

Li Wan's key training items are physical fitness and strength.

By the way, these two events can improve explosiveness and bounce.

After a month of training, Li Wan's upper limb strength came to 93 points, which belongs to the long-term backlog of "homeopathy" when there is potential again, and Li Wan has not worked hard, and these 92 points have become 93 points.

In addition, his fitness has changed from 94 to 95.

The bounce also went from 90 to 91.

In short, there has been a certain increase in all aspects.

Although the increase is not large, in the case that the original scale is already large enough, add a little here and add a little there, and the overall improvement is still considerable.

However, Li Wan himself is not satisfied with the physical strength of 95 points, and he plans to improve his physical fitness to 96 points before the start of the new season!

Of course, this is only August, and it is too late to start improving his physical fitness in September, and Li Wan's main special training project this month is to improve his skills other than his two trump card skills.

"Vision: 88 (90); Ball control: 91 (97); Passing: 89 (90); CIC: 95 (100); 3 points: 95 (100); Breakthrough: 88 (98); Layup: 89 (99); Back 75 (100); Dunk: 86 (98); Slam dunk on the spot: 60 (88); Offensive card slots: 75 (85); Air cut: 89 (90); Runs off the ball: 90 (91); ”

For example, breaking through and making a layup, this is the ability to improve to more than 90 points with just one kick.

As for the back......

Li Wan does not plan to train this summer, he is only 30 years old, the last tail of his physical fitness, and he intends to squander it in the new season.

There is not much time to play on the basket, and Li Wan suddenly feels a little "time is running out".

You have to keep up with the breakout and go to the basket a little bit more.

Meanwhile, Griffin continues to tinker with the roster for the new season.

It's something he has to do every season.

It is worth mentioning that Carmelo Anthony's contract extension has been finalized, and there has been a lot of noise.

Because Anthony signed a 3-year 36 million contract with the Columbus Explorers, which is equivalent to only 12 million per year, although Cameron Anthony is one year older than LeBron James, he is 34 years old this year, and he will be 37 years old in three years.

The contracts that can be signed are all signed according to the age and state at the time, Carmelo Anthony played so well in the finals, even if he is 34 years old, it is not a problem to sign a contract of 20 million.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it only took 12 million to successfully complete the contract renewal, which is something that no one expected.

The Coalition almost sent an investigative team to investigate the deal.

Of course, the investigation is useless, because that's exactly what Carmelo Anthony meant.

After winning the first championship of his career, Carmelo Anthony's desire to retire from this team became stronger and stronger, and he felt that he had to have a place to retire his jersey in his career!

Don't play for so many years, in the end there is no place to retire the jersey......

Griffin seemed to sense what he meant, and even said, "Man, Columbus will never forget your efforts!" ”

There is no way, in the second year after Li Wan began to execute the big contract, plus Wiggins also began to take his big contract, it is really "the landlord's family has not much surplus food".

If Carmelo Anthony is really given a contract with an annual salary of 20 million, I am afraid that the Columbus Explorers will not even be able to show reinforcement work this year.

Now, Griffin can still use a base-salary contract to make a fortune in the free market.

There are still a lot of "fish" this year.

For example......

Mcgee!

As a victim of O'Neal's "Big Five", he has now become a representative player of the league's "bad brains".

He was furious about this and also attacked O'Neal, but still no team extended an olive branch to him, and Griffin did not hesitate at all and immediately offered a contract.

At the same time, the "Columbus Annual Dream Factory" was opened, and the former "nine-finger dunk king" Gerald Green shot for the championship.

And that's all Griffin has won this summer.

After winning the "Nine-Finger Slam Dunk King", the lineup of the Columbus Explorers for the new season was also officially released:

"No. 1: Leevan, Beverley, Rajon Rondo, Jalen Brunson;

No. 2: Wiggins, Brogdon;

No. 3: Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter;

No. 4: Sabonis Jr., Kwame Brown;

No. 5: Adams, McGee; ”

In this lineup, the No. 1 position is obviously "overspent".

But Li Wan is not fixed in a certain position, if you look at it this way, it is actually okay.

Due to the restlessness of the free agency market in the summer, the major media outlets have begun to predict the situation of the league's new season in early September, before the closed training camp of the new season has begun.

On ESPN's side, when it came to the volleyball power rankings, the Warriors were ranked first, the Hornets were ranked second, and the Trail Blazers were ranked third, and it wasn't until the fourth place that the name of the Columbus Explorers appeared......

The defending champions are ranked fourth in the overall power list, and the media and fans who are familiar with ESPN's routines know:

This is going to make trouble again!

However, one thing to say, this year is really good for things.

Because even experts who have seen the world, including Bill Wharton, waved his hand again and again:

This year's competition, I really haven't seen it!

Some media also said, "This will be the last madness of the superstar huddle era!" ”

But this was met with strong complaints, because as early as when LeBron James went to Golden State and Kevin Durant joined the Bulls, these experts were already saying that this was "the last madness of the superstar huddle".

But the result?

Two years have passed, and the madness continues!

Two years and two years, and how many more years!

The Columbus press expressed strong dissatisfaction; "This is underestimating the defending champions! This is the greatest disrespect to the Explorers! ”

At the Explorers' media day, Li Wan was also asked about this by reporters, and he said: "ESPN is always like this, when you care about it, they have succeeded!" ”

As far as ESPN's urine is concerned, they are not afraid of slapping their faces, they are afraid of no one and no birds.

However, Li Wan has his own way to deal with this group of reporters who do everything for gimmicks, he said: "I won't care about this matter, but I believe that soon they will feel a headache!" ”

Li Wan's words were not "overnight" at all, and that night tens of millions of "Wanjia Army" fought for Li Wan and blew up ESPN's channel.

Also unhappy is LeBron James.

ESPN is not using the Lakers as a gimmick, the Lakers can be ranked 8th and 9th in the ESPN rankings, which is actually similar in terms of the Lakers' combat power.

ESPN is not using the Lakers as a gimmick, but as a gimmick with LeBron James, who is only ranked 8th on the list of stars in the new season.

This is the first time since LeBron James won the regular season MVP that he has been ranked so low.

Even if he changes so many teams, he is in the top 5 on ESPN's star list all year round, and most of the time he is in the top three, sitting in the second and first position, and Kevin Durant can compete with him for the second position.

But this year......

Leewan, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Paul George, Westbrook, Leonard......

Li Wan is still the first person in the league, and Kevin Durant is still sitting in the second place, but he has fallen to the 8th position.

In fact, when he saw the strength ranking of this star in the new season, Li Wan was also a little surprised, the original ESPN was a pure "Kohei", and Kobe Bryant was excluded from the top 10 very early, but it was still LeBron James's "hardcore licking dog", but I didn't expect that at this time, even ESPN began to abandon LeBron James.

But thinking about it, it's quite normal, after all, LeBron James in this time and space is 34 years old and hasn't won the championship yet, so no matter how talented he is......

In this world, how can there be a "prince" for 15 years?

What's more important is that Li Wan is still younger than him......

I'm afraid that he has retired, and Li Wan is still ruling this alliance.

So what else is there to say?

After blowing for so many years, he hasn't had any effect, so let's use him to get some effect!

Do you think this is something that LeBron James, who is still thinking about becoming the "king", can swallow this breath?

Of course, he knows in his heart that he really doesn't have the confidence to talk back based on his performance last season, but wait, wait for me to shut you up with my performance.

Although the Lakers' lineup in the new season does not look solid, and there is basically no hope of winning the championship, it is never difficult for LeBron to get data!

There are many ways to explain yourself, if you can't win the championship, then take more data, and you can also prove that your ability is absolutely fine, but it's just "bad luck".

Well......

Lakers management ended the recruitment this summer, and looking at the Lakers' current roster, LeBron James figured it out at once.

The "uncrowned king" is also a "king"!

Even if he can't win the championship, he must be the one with the hardest data!

Then ......

411！

When LeBron James had this great project in his mind, he suddenly felt that his whole career was bright again, and he had found a career to fight for!

On Sept. 28, two days before October, the Golden State Warriors also held a press conference.

At the press conference, Kevin Durant couldn't hide his excitement.

He was very excited when he first heard that he was going to join the Warriors, and after coming and feeling the culture of this team, he thought that he was full of opportunities again.

"I'm feeling pretty good, I love Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler, it's nothing to do with them, but I really like the Warriors and I think I'm ready to start the new journey!"

Green was also full of praise for Kevin Durant: "This guy is fantastic, and I honestly, he's really amazing!" I've never seen a guy like this, and I feel like he's capable of anything! ”

Where did reporters feel like they had heard this, and it seemed to be the same when they first said LeBron James?

Green seemed to sense what they were thinking, and continued, "I said this from the bottom of my heart! ”

He did it from the bottom of his heart......

Because as soon as LeBron James is gone and Kevin Durant is coming, he can "deal cards at the top of the arc" like before.

He has a good chance of becoming the "King of Three Singles" again in the new season!

Do you think Green can't be full of praise for Kevin Durant?

When Li Wan knew about this, he couldn't help but think of that sentence:

Playing time is really important!

Originally, Green shouted to Kevin Durant every day, "We were champions before you came", and now, after experiencing LeBron James, Green is more and more happy when he sees Kevin Durant, which is understandable, Kevin Durant really doesn't have any ball possession!
