Chapter 207: James Wants to Go Home

Rausdorf took the trophy from Stern's hand, his face flushed and he looked extremely excited.

If last season's championship was expected, this year's title is a surprise.

Especially before the finals started, he didn't think the team had too many chances.

But it is precisely because of this accident that this championship becomes more surprising and meaningful.

He called Foreman, and the two of them lifted the championship trophy together.

Then, the trophy was quickly passed to Xu Yong's hands.

When Xu Yong got the trophy, the scene rang out with overwhelming cheers and whistles.

If the championship is full of ten, Xu Yong has at least nine points.

It can be said that if it weren't for Xu Yong's crazy performance, the Bulls would definitely not have been able to win this championship.

Take a look at the full stats of Seo Yong's finals!

In 6 games, he averaged 46.2 minutes per game, averaging 35 points, 8.5 boards, 8 assists, 3 steals, 2.5 blocks, 3.5 turnovers and 3 fouls per game, shooting 47.6% from the field, 37.3% from three-point range, and 92.2% from the free throw line.

In terms of data, Xu Yong is completely a two-level player compared to last season's finals.

It is no exaggeration to say that Thibodeau has taken Xu Yong to a new height.

While the players were enjoying the championship, the female reporters also began to interview the Bulls players.

The first person to be interviewed was Artest, who had just scored the killer goal in the end.

When the camera showed Artest, the scene resounded with another cheer from the fans.

Artest managed to redeem himself in the last two games, and tonight's stunner made him a big contributor to the Bulls' championship.

"What were you thinking before you hit the final kill?" The female reporter asked with a smile.

"I was thinking, my Michael Jordan needs me, I have to shoot that ball." Artest looked happy.

"Your Michael Jordan?" The reporter was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I know Michael is on the scene tonight, but my Michael Jordan is Xu and he wants me to be Steve Cole at the last moment, I have to do it, I did it!" Artest's happiness turned to excitement, and finally he couldn't help but shout emotionally.

Xu Yong's performance tonight not only completely conquered his junior brother Butler, but even an old Jianghu like Artest was completely convinced.

This sentence once again drew a burst of cheers from the audience.

Artest doesn't say, in fact, many people also think of the ball that Kerr received from Jordan to complete the stunner.

History is always strikingly similar.

"You mean it's Xu Rangling's last shot?" The reporter asked.

"Yes, he told me I could shoot and he couldn't shoot to make overtime, so I didn't have any pressure when I made the last shot."

Artest's words drew another round of cheers and whistles.

If you pretend to be forced from other people's mouths, it will always seem much higher.

The reporter then interviewed Xu Yong.

As soon as the camera was given to Xu Yong, the cheers at the scene skyrocketed instantly, and it lasted for a full minute.

Originally, Xu Yong's performance tonight was shocking enough, and with Artest's foreshadowing, the fans' emotions were already completely unable to go down at a high place.

"Xu, how did you do that? With 51 points, you are the fifth player in NBA Finals history to score more than 50 points. The reporter lamented.

"Who are the first four?" Xu Yong didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically first.

"Elgin Baylor, 61 points, Michael Jordan, 55 points......"

When the reporter took the cue card and said Jordan's 55 points, his voice was drowned out by the cheers that rang out at the scene, and the camera also showed Jordan.

Jordan laughed there and couldn't help but say in his heart: This kid!

Ordinary people will definitely not ask like that, and Xu Yong probably knows who it is, which it is clear that he will show his face.

"I think I have to thank Coach Thibodeau first of all for letting me play the whole game."

Xu Yong knows how to play stalks, and his second sentence also caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

Over the past two seasons, Thibodeau has a deep understanding of the death of young players.

Especially Xu Yong, 42.6 minutes in the regular season, 44.8 minutes in the playoffs, and 46.2 minutes in the finals.

Xu Yong's cow is enduring, otherwise it would really fall like Rose.

However, Xu Yong's relaxed tone made the fans relax a lot, after all, there are differences between players, and there is no shortage of players with high durability in NBA history.

Maybe Xu Yong and Xibodu are really peerless swords that have found the Xuantie scabbard, and they are a perfect match.

"Then I have to thank Ron, who combined with me for 17 points in the final quarter." Xu Yong knows how to repay the favor, and as soon as the stalk came out, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"I've always believed that basketball is a team sport, it's not even a five-man game, it's a team of 15 people and the coaching staff working together, so if you ask me how I got 51 points, I think it's a team effort."

When Xu Yong finally answered this question, the audience was already thunderous applause.

Jordan was also applauding heartily, and Xu Yong now fully understands the concept of the team.

Scoring 51 points is not not a team, but with the help of the team, you can do what you can to the extreme.

By the time the interview was almost underway, the results of the FMVP had already been released.

There was still a hint of suspense in last year's selection, but this year there is basically no suspense.

Stern also announced the final result soon after opening the envelope.

"It was Xu Yong who won the Bill Russell Trophy in the 2011~2012 season, and this is the second year in a row that he has received this honor."

Xu Yong received 9 of the 11 votes, and the remaining 2 belonged to Yao Ming.

Although Yao Ming did not play in G6, his average performance of 21 points, 11 boards, 3.2 assists and 2.6 blocks per game in the finals was also very good, especially the return of the king in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which is still fresh in people's memories.

Russell handed Xu Yong the trophy belonging to FMVP and took the initiative to hug Xu Yong.

"The future is yours."

While hugging, Xu Yong heard Russell say to himself.

He was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and shook hands with the old man.

This is not trash talk, but a positive word.

And it's normal for an old charlatan like Russell to say something like this.

After all, a player who won FMVP in the second year and played in the finals that turned the tide in the third year and played two consecutive FMVP players.

Such a person, the future does not belong to him, does it belong to the king who is about to be swept away?

Xu Yong turned around and lifted the FMVP trophy, cheers one after another.

And at this time, on social media, fans have also fallen into a carnival.

"Xu proved one thing with his crazy performance, when you are strong enough, nothing is impossible." From the review of "KBforever".

"In the face of not being favored, in the face of adversity, the Bulls finally won the championship, and Xu and the Bulls showed us what the heart of a championship is." From the review of "KBforever".

"I like Xu, I love this Bulls, he showed me what it takes to win a championship, respect!" From the review of "KBforever".

"Xu became only the second player in the NBA to win the scoring title, MVP and FMVP at the same time, and was selected to the double team, and he was the best player of the season."

"Who was the first? Michael Jordan, but Xu did this earlier than Michael, and I think we're witnessing a new legend. ”

"Beat Anthony, then beat the Green Shirts, then James, and finally Kobe, Xu This championship is full of gold."

"Chicago doesn't need God anymore because they already have Satan!"

"I would say that when Barkley was a Bulls fan, it was very difficult for the Bulls to lose the Finals."

"The best shot off the court in this year's Finals, Barkley once again showed his bull heart on championship night."

"In order for the Bulls to win the championship, he was even willing to eat a bowl of cow dung, and he really cried to death."

"If I were the owner of the Bulls, I would definitely make an extra championship ring for Barkley."

……

After the award ceremony, the players were still partying in the locker room, and Xu Yong sat at the door of the locker room with the FMVP trophy in his hand.

He was really tired.

He had never been so tired from fighting Megan Fox all night before.

It's better not to experience this thing again until the moment of last resort.

And there was a shock in his trouser pocket.

He finally pulled out his phone inside, and the information kept refreshing.

During his three years in the NBA, he has met a lot of new people every year, and more people know his contact details.

On a championship night like this, the scene is more exaggerated than the bombardment of text messages.

He chose to ignore this for the time being, and then logged on to social media to see what was going on.

Looking at those who boasted about himself, he smiled and passed by, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The two completely different lives really feel like a dream.

However, this feeling is only fleeting, and it has been confirmed that the rebirth is real, so try to be wonderful.

After reading enough of the comments, he clicked on his personal homepage.

He has a lot of followers on social media, but he rarely initiates updates, and the latest one was more than half a year ago, when the Satanic generation released it, and he posted an official update.

He wanted to send one on a whim, but found a new private message.

Because there is little dynamic, I know that he is not very up, and his private messages are not much.

He stopped editing, clicked on the private message to read it, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person who sent it.

Scarlett Johansson sent him a private message and invited him to a yacht party.

He first clicked on the account to confirm that it was indeed Scarlett herself, and then couldn't help but shake his head.

Mature woman, really straightforward.

He didn't want to go back, but his mind couldn't help but think of Scarlett's half-exposed breasts on the side of the court that day, full of charm.

"Time, place." He read back the message.

Since you want to live a wonderful life, you really need to change your mentality.

……

The Bulls' championship parade took place in Chicago three days later.

Compared with last year, one of the biggest features of this year's championship parade is that this time there is no need to invite any stuntmen, and Barkley himself is here.

When the parade returned to the scene and Barkley appeared, the Chicago fans boiled over.

Whoever dares to speak ill of Lord Bar in the future will be to do it against me in Chicago.

It is no exaggeration to say that Barkley's exposure in media coverage is even higher than that of the Bulls themselves.

Barkley: You guys really don't understand traffic.

And on the evening of the day after the victory parade, Xu Yong appeared on a secret yacht.

There are not many people on the yacht, but all of them have heads and faces, and many of them are Hollywood stars.

Even, Xu Yong unexpectedly met the Fox couple there.

Fox was still very enthusiastic when he saw Xu Yong, and took the initiative to hug his face.

This is a European and American actress, and her ex is just a comrade-in-arms who sweats on a bed.

In fact, not only Megan, but many actresses will come up to say hello when they see him.

This feeling is similar to the déjà vu when I was in Tempe, the difference is only that the object has changed from a female college student to an actress.

His performance in the finals this year can be regarded as allowing him to successfully break the circle and increase his popularity a lot.

And looking at this posture, it seems that he seems to underestimate himself, he is not [small reputation] in Hollywood circles, but [famous].

Xu Yong didn't see Scarlett, so he took a glass of red wine and went to the stern to take a breath.

After a while, he heard footsteps, and then turned his head to see Scarlett.

Scarlett has curly hair, a tight-fitting open-chested red dress, and a graceful figure.

"They told you were here." Scarlett took the initiative, came up to greet him with a smile, and then took the initiative to hug him.

Because of the height difference, he could only lean over, and this time he had a full view of the spring.

"The first time I watched you compete was in Chicago two years ago, and that was my first impression that this Asian was so handsome." Scarlett feels the same as in the private message, very proactive.

"Thanks, I'm early, the girl with the pearl earring, the oil painting." Xu Yong replied that he had really seen this art-biased movie.

"Haha, it's a surprise, but it's an honor." Scarlett didn't expect Xu Yong to pay attention to her early works.

"Is there any difference between me and then?" Scarlett then played with her curls and looked at Xu Yong with a smile.

Xu Yong looked at Scarlett carefully, and then commented: "Now you are more attractive." ”

Scarlett's face is actually not the popular face of European and American actresses, her most beautiful place is her eyebrows and eye sockets.

The three-dimensional eyebrow arch and deep eye sockets that she has had since she was a child, combined with her cold white skin, are very charming.

And she bumped into Marilyn Monroe, the hottest actress in the United States in the last century, and she all had that feeling of pure desire.

But in comparison, she is still more suitable for taking the sexy route, and the word stunner exists for people with a face shape and figure like her.

Scarlett smiled when she heard this, then reached out and stroked Xu Yong's chest.

Xu Yong took Scarlett's hand, and it would be bad to wait for embarrassment.

"You go somewhere with me." Scarlett withdrew her hand and invited.

Xu Yong nodded, he wasn't so interested in parties or anything, and he also came because of Scarlett's invitation.

Scarlett led her from the side of the ship to the second floor, then continued up to the stern of the cockpit.

There was a small room with a window where a lot of clothes hung out.

"Here?" Xu Yong's face was puzzled.

Scarlett turned off the lights, and the moonlight shone in through the glass, and it felt like it was falling on the ground.

"Did you think of anything?" Scarlett asked.

"You're testing me, light, the painter's daughter knows that cleaning glass changes light." Xu Yong replied with a smile.

The girl with the pearl earrings is actually the story of a painter's daughter who is in the middle of the road and goes to work as a maid for another painter.

Cleaning the glass was a servant's job, but she would always carefully wipe the piece of glass facing the drawing board, because she knew the importance of light to painting.

After hearing Xu Yong's answer, Scarlett suddenly took his hand, and then asked him to lie under his clothes with him, and then looked at the place where the light was shining.

This is also a scene in the movie, looking at the painting under the clothes, which is the first intimate contact between the painter's daughter and another painter.

It's just that Scarlett couldn't help but caress Xu Yong's chest.

At such a close distance, and in such a closed space, Xu Yong reluctantly expressed his respect.

"Meghan said that you are the most satisfying boyfriend she has ever had." Scarlett had reached his head.

There is a height difference between the two people when they are standing, but there is no difference when they are lying on their stomachs.

This is considered a solved case, and his reputation seems to have been promoted by Megan Fox.

And before Xu Yong could answer, Scarlett had already sealed his mouth with a hot kiss.

After a while, both of them became very short of breath.

Since her divorce two years ago, Scarlett hasn't had a serious boyfriend.

Because for her, ordinary men can no longer satisfy her.

And Xu Yong has been thinking about helping the team defend the title since he broke up with Swift, and he has no energy to share the woman.

This wave is really dry firewood meets fire, and it will not take long to be honest with each other.

However, reason made Xu Yong pause his movements at the critical moment, and he looked in the direction of the door.

Because he is immune to injuries, he is not worried about whether An is safe, but it will be embarrassing if he is observed.

"Don't worry, no one here will come."

After Scarlett finished speaking, Xu Yong felt a burst of warmth.

……

Less than a week after the Bulls' championship parade, the 2012 NBA Draft kicked off in New York.

This year is the first draft after the shrinking season, and it can be described as full of talent.

And the one that has attracted the most attention is naturally Anthony Davis.

Davis was not the top pick before, and his place belonged to another big man, Andre Drummond.

Before March this year, as a recognized champion show, the media's evaluation of him was: he has blown up all the university insiders, the only one that can be compared to Griffin, and the technology is more comprehensive than Griffin, and he may be the representative of the next era.

But after entering the crazy three, he and Anthony Davis's performance were in stark contrast.

Drummond's defending champion Connecticut went out early, while Anthony Davis led Kentucky all the way to the finals, defeating the University of Kansas to win the NCAA championship and be elected MOP.

His defensive and physical talents were on full display throughout the Crazy Three, and he was named the No. 1 pick in 2012.

Then the ownership of the champion signature becomes very crucial.

The difference from the history that Xu Yong knows is that because the Hornets made the playoffs this season, even if Stern wants to give this year's top pick, he can't give it to them, so he can only compensate for it another year.

This year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Cavaliers.

This is also the second year in a row that the Cavaliers have been selected as the No. 1 pick.

This is an experience that only the Kings, Knicks, Rockets and Magic have ever had before.

Is the draw fair?

This is a question that many people have had.

In fact, it's fair, just as it was when the shareholder meeting was held to decide whether or not to approve Paul's move to the Lakers.

But if you think it's really fair, then look young.

Stern has been working to increase the value of the Hornets in the past two years, which is why the No. 1 pick of the year will be signed to the Hornets in history.

And the Cavaliers, because of the heavy losses after James' departure, Gilbert was completely broken.

In order to make up for Gilbert's loss, and in order to prevent Cleveland, which has improved the ball market, from shrinking back, it is natural to give benefits.

In history, the Cavaliers signed three championships in four years, and now it is just the difference between early and late.

So in the end, there wasn't much suspense, and the Cavaliers drafted Anthony Davis to form a rebuilding combination with last year's Irving.

Cleveland's revival is just around the corner.

……

Miami, private mansion.

James and Fur Paul watched the draft together.

When the Cavaliers drafted Davis, James turned off the TV and opened a bottle of champagne with Forpaul.

Almost two months have passed since his relationship with Riley has been at a standstill.

For two months, Riley had no contact with him.

This means that Riley is determined to send him away this time.

This is something James didn't expect, he originally thought that after snubbing Riley for a while, the latter would come back to him with his face sticky.

After all, compared to Wade, he has no hidden injury hazards and has more commercial value, and an old fox like Riley has no reason to give up his interests because of a temporary contradiction.

But as it turned out, he still didn't know enough about Riley as a person.

And now that this is the case, Riley will definitely not trade Haslem, so it is not realistic for him to stay with the Heat.

If you compare him and the Heat to husband and wife, now that the cooling-off period has passed, he can only leave.

But how to leave, and where to go after leaving, this is also the topic that he and Fu Paul have discussed the most in the past two months.

Let's talk about where to go first, it's not easy to join a team that he can directly become the boss if he parachutes, and there is also the possibility of competing for the championship.

Because there are only 30 teams in the league, there will be no more than 5 such teams.

Moving on to it, he signed a six-year contract with the Heat, with a player option for the last two years, meaning he won't have the right to jump out of his contract until the summer of 2014.

And now, it's only 2012.

But now that the Cavaliers have selected Davis, it has become the best place for him.

Irving didn't seem to be able to lead the team last season, but he was very capable of scoring, which meant he could throw all those balls to him.

And Owen is not as old as Wade, and the young man does not dare to make a mistake in front of him.

Thinking that he would take 30+ or even 40+, and then Owen would win the game, it was really a data victory, and it was a perfect ending for both the process and the result.

And then there is Davis, after Davis was selected, he was called by the media as a once-in-50-year super inside line in the United States, who can both eat cake and protect the frame, which is much stronger than Bosh and others.

Even if he returns to the Cavaliers, it will be a prodigal son, hometown basketball, and the media can blow him to the sky.

So the only question now is how he will get back to the Cavaliers.

A trade is out of the question this season, and if the Cavaliers don't take either Irving or Davis, Riley can't send him to Cleveland.

But if the Cavaliers come out with one of the two, then there is no point in him returning to the Cavaliers.

So the best way is for him to privately contact Jeff Paul and Gilbert first, ease the relationship first, and by the way, let the Cavaliers prepare salary space.

Then his words, first trade to another team to compete for the championship, it is naturally best to win the championship, if not, wait until the contract expires in 2014, and directly join the Cavaliers as a free agent, perfect.

In the end, the question is which team he is going to transition to, no, continue to compete for the championship.

There is a very tricky place here, in order to show the sincerity of the cooperation, he did not add [transaction veto] to the contract.

This means that he has no say in the transaction.

If Riley were to throw him in Minnesota or Memphis, it would be like two years in prison.

"King, I think you need to see Pat again." Fu Paul gave his sincere advice.

"Will he meet me?" James also knew that this trip was inevitable, but it was also where he worried.

With the current relationship between him and Riley, the other party is afraid that he may really let him eat the closed door, and he will really be ashamed of himself at that time.

"I remember when he gave you a championship ring?" Fu Paul clearly had some considerations.

James was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh.

That's right, championship rings.

The ring is now both a stepping stone and a bargaining chip.

Just do it when you think of it.

He immediately asked Fort Paul to call Riley.

Sure enough, when Riley heard the championship ring, he accepted James' request to come to the door again.

After the call, James couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around Fu Paul's shoulder.

With the assistance of rich Paul, why worry about not winning the championship?

……

The next day, James and FuPaul visited Riley together.

Riley's attitude is very good.

James was overjoyed to see this, and it seems that the championship ring is still very important to Riley.

So after a brief exchange, James also put forward his own ideas.

Or to put it more accurately, it is to give your favorite home.

San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Los Angeles Clippers.

Because it was only a short transition, there were some things that he would not have considered becoming one of the options.

And the reason why he gave so many subordinates was because he was afraid that Riley's negotiations would not go well, which was also considered for Riley.

Don't ask him why he's all in the West, you just know it!

"Don't worry, even if I want to separate, I will choose a decent way." Riley said with a smile after hearing this.

Hearing this, James finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A breakup needs to be decent, and Riley doesn't seem to want to make things too ugly.

He then took a delicate box from his pocket and handed it to Riley, in which the ring was contained.

"After you handed him over to me before, I have been sealing it and protecting it very well." James said to himself.

Riley was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded with a smile: "I have a heart." ”

Eventually, the negotiations between the two sides began and ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

Riley even dropped them off at the door himself, telling them to be careful on the road.

However, when he returned to the house after sending the man away, Riley's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Ahh Designated the next home, he really gave James a face!

Nor did he inquire about Riley's reputation in the trading world.

After putting the ring away, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely send James to his next home.

But it's not James's favorite, it's his own.

……

Because the London Olympics are still a month away, Xu Yong, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian still have to play some warm-up games with the team, so they won't stay in Chicago for long.

After participating in the team's celebrations, they then prepared to fly home the next day.

The night before leaving, he also had a barbecue with Yi Jianlian, Butler and Little King in Beye.

Most of the time they roasted it for the little king.

Although this king is a little wasted, he is still a little reluctant to be separated for so long at once.

"Senior, I'm going to strengthen my three-point shooting this offseason and become a 3-and-D player like Yi first." Butler spoke.

"Very good decision, I'll give you a nine out of 10." Xu Yong gave an affirmative answer.

Butler's three-pointers have been inconsistent in history, much like Jordan.

It's inconsistent, but it can solve problems with three points at some critical moments.

It's actually very bad, especially when it comes to the playoffs, because the playoffs are all about who is more consistent.

And putting aside the future, just say that it is unrealistic for Butler to defend better than Tony Allen in a short period of time, and a more realistic way is to develop three points, and in those games where Allen can't play because he is targeted, he can go up.

As for not doing a good job in other areas because of developing three-point points, that's unlikely to happen to Butler either, because this guy is crazy to practice as well.

……

The next day, Xu Yong and the others got on a plane back to China.

Jeremy Lin is a restricted free agent this year and will be back a few days later to join the team.

Although Xu Yong would actually like to stay and keep an eye on this year's free agent trade market, because it will be another turbulent year.

Delon, Nash, Ray Allen, Jeremy Lin are free agents.

In addition, it will be interesting to see where Howard will be traded and which team James will be sent to the most.

However, it is estimated that there will be no results for a while, especially the latter two, which are not unexpected until August.

"Brother Yao, how did you convince Foreman in the end?" After getting on the plane, Xu Yong chatted with Yao Ming.

Regarding this year's London Olympics, the management of the Bulls team strongly disagreed with Xu Yong and Yao Ming to participate.

Especially Yao Ming.

Xu Yong's attributes are full, but Yao Ming is constantly injured.

If this injury, the Bulls will have the remaining three years of the big contract in their hands.

You must know that although Rose's injury is serious, he will be able to come back next season.

But if Yao Ming gets injured again, it is likely that his career will be over.

Seeing that Xu Yong was so curious, Yao Ming didn't hide it, and said very calmly: "I promised him that if he was injured, he would jump out of the contract and retire next year." ”

Xu Yong sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Yao Ming signed a five-year contract with the Bulls, and if he retired early, he would lose more than $40 million in salary for two years.

Even after tax, it is more than 20 million.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling for a moment.

If it were someone else, he would definitely feel very fake, and he might even say one thing on the face and do another thing behind the scenes.

After all, it was just a verbal agreement between the two parties, and it was real money.

But only from Yao Ming's mouth, he felt that he was planning like that.

For the London Olympics, he can lose weight and readjust his playing style, and this money can be sacrificed for him.

I only hope that Yao Ming can return healthy from this Olympics.

……

Just as Xu Yong and his wife returned to China, the door to the free market in 2012 was officially opened.

However, unlike previous years, this year's free agents are not in a hurry to sign, but instead break out one rumor after another.

For example, the Mavericks are actively seeking the addition of DeLong.

Carter, Kidd and Terry's contracts expire at the same time, and with the addition of Haywood having already been sent away, the Mavericks can sign Deron naked as long as they dispose of Marion's contract.

The main lineup of Delon, Leonard, Nowitzki, Chandler, and the low-cost renewal of Kidd and Carter and others who intend to stay, this is a proper championship favorite team next season.

However, the Nets are also aggressively pursuing the biggest free agent of the summer, and they are trying to strengthen the roster while also having a contract advantage over Delung, because the parent team is the only team that can offer a five-year contract with a maximum salary under the new collective bargaining agreement.

Another example is that Nash has become the most sought-after player on the free market.

Nash was still an All-Star last season, but because of his age, his market value is about 10 million.

Under the new collective bargaining agreement, this is definitely a good bargain.

The Knicks wanted him to assemble a Big Three roster of Nash, Anthony and Stoudemire;

The Thunder want him to join the weakest No. 1 position to fight the Lakers;

The Raptors offered a contract at a far price, hoping that Nash would return home in the final leg of his career, and then take the young man to the playoffs by the way;

The Pacers are also lobbying hard that their starting point guard Darren Collison has expired and the team has no intention of continuing to renew his contract;

Jeremy Lin has also attracted the attention of a number of teams, and his Lin has proven himself capable of being a starter-caliber player, and with a small market contract, he is seen as an alternative to Delon and Nash.

Ray Allen and the Celtics have basically fallen out, and the Heat and Thunder are his favorites.

Howard and James' potential next home has also surfaced.

While the Nets are trying to keep Delon, they are also trying to trade for Howard with Brook Lopez as the core.

Because Howard unexpectedly opted to execute his contract last season, the Nets' chips made them Howard's favorites.

At the same time, the Lakers also seem to be interested in forming a roster of Paul, Kobe and Howard, with Bynum in their hands being the best bargaining chip.

It's just that the Magic don't seem to be too interested in Bynum, and if the deal goes through, a third party is inevitable.

James was unexpectedly linked to the Mavericks, and Pat Riley is said to be interested in Leonard.

It's like when he was with the Lakers, he deliberately traded "Magic" Johnson for Jordan, which was seen as another proposal he was about to make.

And like ESPN, a potential trade plan has also been given, James for Leonard plus Tyson Chandler, the Heat team has been perfectly strengthened, and the Mavericks can form a triumvirate of Delon, James and Nowitzki.

……

After a week of training in China, Jeremy Lin arrived.

While Deron and Nash's next home is still unsettled, his new contract has been finalized.

The Rockets offered the Knicks a "poison contract", that is, 500 for the first and second years, but a contract of 14 million for the third year, and the Knicks were completely unable to match due to future salary pressure, so they had no choice but to let Jeremy Lin go.

Jeremy Lin will team up with Noah and Deng next season to help the Rockets return to the playoffs.

Xu Yong was not surprised by this result, although some things have changed, but Mo Gou is still so doggy.

However, the contract is finalized, and Jeremy Lin can play with them with peace of mind.

Just one day later, the men's basketball team left for Europe to participate in the final warm-up game before the Olympics.

They will play warm-up matches against Spain, Lithuania, Serbia and France.

These are all teams competing for medal strength, which also shows that the strength of the men's basketball team this year is fully recognized.

In fact, in this year's FIBA power list, the Chinese men's basketball team is the second strongest team after the American Dream Team.

Most people don't question this ranking, because the Chinese men's basketball team is stronger this year than when they won the World Championship in 2010.

Take a look at the men's basketball squad for this London Olympics!

Defenders: Jeremy Lin, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Guo Allen

Front: Xu Yong, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Zhou Peng

Inside: Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhou Qi

5 NBA active players, 6 NBA resume players, the unprecedentedly strong lineup has even brought young players like Guo Allen and Zhou Qi.

This is the last dance of Yao Ming's national team career, and it is also the performance of the strongest men's basketball team in history.

And the reason why they are in second place is because this year's Dream Team also sent their strongest squad in order to regain the world title.

Guards: Paul, Kobe, Harden, Deron Williams, Westbrook

Forwards: James, Durant, Anthony, Iguodala

Inside: Tyson Chandler, Love, Anthony Davis

It can be said that in addition to Howard, who is still recovering from injury, and Bosh, who was not called up in the first place, the big names of the stars in the United States are all out.

And then like the Chinese team, they even brought this year's champion Davis.

If these two teams meet this year, it will be a very exciting match.

Of course, you can't ignore the Spanish team this year, and with the growth of Gasol Jr. and the fact that Serge Ibaka is making his first appearance at the Olympics, they are also the strongest squad in history.

This year's London, no matter who ends up on the top podium, will be the most gold in history.
