The Magic have been on a non-starter after signing three new players in early July, and the team has officially disbanded for the summer offseason after a grand championship parade.

For the three operations of the Magic team, the media still gave a relatively high evaluation, Jamal. Crawford is a player of considerable quality and widely fancied.

QIAN Ning. Frye and Ariza, although inconspicuous, are very compatible with the Magic's tactical system, and the three can fill the void of Turkoglou very well, and on a certain basis, they also enhance the Magic's relatively weak bench depth.

Just a few days later, a trade between the New Jersey Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers triggered a series of follow-up events.

On July 20, the Nets finally found a home for Carter.

The Cleveland Cavaliers sent Big Z Zidrunas. Ilgoskas, Daniel. Gibson, who was traded from the Nets to All-Star guard Vince. Carter.

As soon as the news of the transaction was announced, it immediately caused a shock in the alliance.

The Cavaliers are really willing to spend money, and finally spent a lot of money to form the Big Three configuration of James + O'Neal + Carter, although O'Neal and Carter are already at the end of their careers, but Yu Wei is still there, plus LeBron. James, the Cavaliers instantly became the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season!

This is not over, the Nets, who got Big Z in the trade, announced a buyout agreement with Big Z a few days later.

The Nets wanted to tear down and rebuild, and they had a center in the team who wanted to develop and had a lot of potential. López, naturally, will not be interested in the big Z with a salary of more than 10 million.

After reaching a buyout agreement with the Nets, Big Z immediately turned around and rejoined the Cavaliers, and the contract amount was only $3 million, considering the strength of Big Z, this contract is cheap and enviable.

Although due to the league's rules, it will take a month for Big Z to re-sign a contract extension with the Cavaliers, but it doesn't matter, as long as the two sides reach an agreement, then the matter can already be closed.

In other words, the Cavaliers paid only one Daniel. Gibson prostituted an All-Star level guard from the Nets for nothing.

Shady! It's pretty naked!

Fans of all the teams in the league are angry, and they don't play like this? Gibson for Carter alone?

No matter how ordinary Carter's performance in the past two years is, he is still a star with an average of 20+5+5 per game, so he gave it to the Cavaliers for nothing, and let other teams play?

While the Cavaliers have been questioned in various ways, the brain-dead behavior of Nets management has also been sprayed.

The Nets management, who didn't want to take the blame, immediately said that we just wanted to free up salary space, and Carter had three years left on his contract, and the price of a buyout was much greater than that of Big Z's one-year contract.

Besides, regarding the Carter trade, we are not only talking to the Cavaliers, just half a month ago, we almost reached an agreement with the Magic team to exchange Carter for the Magic team Petrus and Tony. Buddy.

As soon as these words came out, it was the turn of the Magic team management to scold her mother.

TM, why did you take me?

Now, everyone understands that the Magic traded Jamal. Crawford's chips could have been traded for Carter?

Although Crawford and Carter's performance last season was similar, the social status of the two is very different, one is a top superstar with a huge number of fans and three times elected as the All-Star voting king, and the other is that although he played some good statistical performances, he was brushed up in the bottom bad teams such as the Knicks and the Warriors, and the real strength is doubtful.

Why did the Magic choose Crawford over Carter, who looked stronger and more recognizable? Is it just because Crawford is cheaper than Carter?

Soon, a reporter found an opportunity to interview Smith, the general manager of the Magic team, and the reply from the other party was very reminiscent.

"We started with Vince. Carter is very interested, and the team will not want to miss the opportunity to put together a big three, and if Carter gets it, our chances of defending the title next season will undoubtedly become a little bigger. ”

However, in order to respect the team's current core players, we asked Wang and Dwight for their opinions before the trade. We were skeptical about whether Carter's arrival would produce good chemistry, and we felt that there was a slight conflict between the two men's playing styles, and it just so happened that Wang came up with a very constructive idea that made us change our minds. ”

The words of the general manager of Magic revealed two pieces of information.

First, the management of the Magic team wanted to close the deal, but the deal was ultimately not completed because of Wang Chao.

Second, the Magic-Warriors trade for Crawford was proposed by Wang Chao.

Has the Magic management valued him to such an extent?

This is naturally deliberately revealed by General Manager Smith, he can't flip the table like Wang Chao, and directly told reporters, everything TM was done by Wang Chao, I don't want to listen to him, and he threatens me with applying for a deal.

If that is really said, the contradiction between the two will be directly put on the table, and the final result is that only one of the two can stay in Magic, and this person will most likely be Wang Chao.

Smith doesn't think the team owner will give up Wang Chao as a promising person because of his tool man who can be replaced by someone else at any time, which is the main reason why he will choose to compromise because of Wang Chao's threat.

But as the general manager of a team, Smith skillfully used the art of language to induce things on Wang Chao.

Now everyone knows that the Magic's series of recruitment operations in the summer were carried out at the request of Wang Chao, and for this reason, the Magic team was forced to give up Vince. Carter.

Once the performance of the Magic team in the new season is disappointing and even fails to defend the title, then Wang Chao, who insists on keeping Carter out in the offseason, will become the biggest backbreaker!

Wang Chao's agent Bill. Duffy realized Smith's intentions as soon as the incident happened, and immediately called Wang Chao.

"Wang, I just said that you shouldn't use such a direct way to force the other party, and now the situation is very unfavorable for you, once the Magic team loses next season, you will be disgusted by most of the fans in Orlando."

Listen to Bill on the other side of the phone. Duffy's worried voice, but Wang Chao smiled indifferently.

"How can you be so sure that the Magic are going to fail next season?"

Bill. Duffy was stunned, and the strong confidence revealed in Wang Chao's words made him a little unsure of how to answer for a while.

"Rest assured, maybe next season, the Magic team will continue to soar all the way and successfully defend the championship, while the Cavaliers, who have spent a lot of money to build the Big Three, will suffer Waterloo, and the team will fall apart, and even their proud emperor may run away."

Wang Chao said with a smile. "I'm still training, so I won't talk to you much."

Hanging up the phone and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Chao thought silently in his heart: "It's time to speed up the training process, and strive to slap everyone in the face after the new season starts!" ”

……

News of the Cavaliers near-prostituting a superstar for nothing is still brewing in the league, while teams across the league are making trades to bolster their games for the new season.

At the end of July, the Lakers teamed up with sixth man Lamar. Odom reached a contract extension agreement to sign a four-year, $33 million annual salary.

For Odom, who is not weaker than Tekoglu, the average annual salary of $8.25 million is definitely not high, and some teams are willing to pay a higher salary for him, after all, Odom is only 30 years old in 09, and there are still a few years of peak, and he can get a contract of 10 million yuan.

But Odom, who has been accustomed to the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles, is naturally reluctant to leave the City of Angels, not to mention that there is his favorite, his wife Khloe. Kardashian.

At this time, Odom had forgotten about the unhappiness of the finals.

He loved Kohler, so of course he chose to forgive her.

Besides, as I said before, Odom is not a good man, and he may play better than Kohler. Kardashian is more flowery.

Odom, who chose to reduce his value, allowed the Lakers to successfully retain the main roster from last season, which is also the limit of what they can do.

The Lakers' salary space for the 09-10 season can really be described as explosive.

Bryant's salary will reach $23.03 million, second in the league behind Maddie at $23.24 million.

Gasol's annual salary is also as high as $16.45 million, while Andrew . Bynum's early contract extension with the Lakers will also come into effect this season, with a starting salary of $12.53 million.

Odom's salary for the first year after the 4-year 33 million contract extension is 7.5 million, Artest is 7 million, plus Fisher, Vujacic, Wharton and other 5 million middle-class contracts, the Lakers will have to pay more than 20 million in luxury tax fines alone in the new season.

Other like-minded ones are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Houston Rockets.

The Cavaliers O'Neal 20 million, James 15.78 million, Carter $16.3 million.

The Rockets have 23.24 million for Maddy, Da Yao 16.38 million, and Lewis 16 million.

Counting up, last season, the 08-09 season of the Celtics, Garnett $24.75 million, Pierce and Ray. Allen is $18 million, and the situation is even worse, and it is also due to the expiration of Garnett's contract after the season, and the re-signing contract with the Celtics is also appropriately reduced, 51.3 million for 3 years, and the salary will be reduced to $16.3 million in the 09-10 season, which has given the Celtics a big return to blood, otherwise the team will not even be able to carry out the recruitment work in the summer.

Therefore, the Big Three combination is not so easy to form, and it needs to pay a great price, and if the Big Three are formed and fail to win the championship, it will be a loss.

The current Celtics are actually facing such a dilemma.

It's been two seasons since the Big Three were formed, but the Celtics have fallen in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons, and if the Green Army can't get past the Magic and win the championship in the next third season, the team will fall apart.

This can be seen in the details of Garnett's contract extension with the Celtics.

Garnett opted for a 2+1 contract, with the third-year player option apparently already on his own

If the Celtics still can't win the championship in the next two years, I'm afraid Garnett will have to run away while he can still catch the tail of the peak and join a team capable of winning the championship.

For a player like Garnett, who has a regular season MVP and desperately needs a championship to elevate his all-time status, the desire for a championship is far greater than many.

The above transactions are the more noteworthy transactions in the offseason, and the rest are just small and insignificant small transactions, so don't mention them.

For most of the players in the league, the holidays have really arrived.

Howard went to Hawaii early for a vacation, accompanied by beautiful beach women, and had a lot of fun.

He knew that Wang Chao chose to practice in the offseason, but this time he didn't run to practice with Wang Chao like he did in the summer of 07, and he was really afraid of Wang Chao's desperate Sanlang-style training.

Wang Chao doesn't care, anyway, Howard relies on his body, when he is still young, has not suffered serious injuries, and is still at the peak of his career, it is enough to continue to show dominance under the basket in these seasons.

Moreover, as a player, although Howard is not an optimist and loves to play, he is still serious enough in training, which can be seen from Howard's leaner and leaner muscles while losing weight later, even if he can't practice anything in other aspects, but in physical training, he will not be lazy.

As for Wang Chao, as July passed, the first phase of his training was temporarily over.

The main direction of Wang Chao's first stage of training is his passing ability.

In a whole month, Wang Chao did two things.

First, further strengthen and improve the passing ability value.

Second, adapt to God's perspective.

Over the course of a month, Wang Chao successfully increased the passing ability value of 86 to 92 under a lot of training, with a total increase of 6 points.

Regardless of the fact that there is only one passing ability value, it is much more complicated and difficult to train than the shooting type of practice.

After all, like the mid-pitch, although it is specifically divided into three types: vacant mid-pitch, mid-pitch after dribbling and interfered mid-pitch, these three can be classified as the same training items and carried out at the same time, and the growth of ability value is also completely synchronized.

But passing is different, it's just a single training, and the training also includes a variety of training directions, including but not limited to moving passes, long passes, ground passes, high-throw passes, empty passes, fancy passes, etc., plus Wang Chao does not have a passing talent similar to a marksman to improve the effect of projection training, and it is much more difficult to improve than expected.

On the other hand, the reason why Wang Chao practiced for a whole month with one pass is also related to the fact that he has to adapt to God's perspective at the same time in training.
