Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 658 Talent is Still Brought to the South Coast

For the Knicks to sign O'Neal, those bad comments have been suppressed by Dolan.

Next season, reaching the playoffs has become the goal of the Knicks. Many team managements are not optimistic about this. Basketball is not a sport for one person. He needs five people.

After Mosaic saw Lowry's offer, they gave up the match directly. They are already very busy now. Yao Ming suddenly applied for a trade, which caught Mosaic's management by surprise.

They have been thinking about how to lower the price of Yao Ming's contract. Now they just quit and directly apply for a trade. .

Many of China's sponsors stopped signing new contracts one after another, waiting for the follow-up development of the Yao Ming incident.

The Knicks successfully snatched Kyle Lowry, and the Cavaliers offered him a lower offer than the Knicks. In the end, the Cavaliers and Lowry missed it.

Many reporters are not optimistic about this signing. They think that Lowry is just a substitute player in Mosaic and does not deserve such a salary at all. They think it is a stupid signing.

Walsh has been scolded to death by angry fans a long time ago. If Li Tian hadn't been traded over, there would probably be fans who went to his house and smashed the glass.

But all of this, he can only bear it helplessly, he can't break the news, all this is the core of the team - Li Tian's request, so there will only be one result, he packs up and leaves.

For Tony Allen's signing, many media are still very optimistic. After all, signing a player who can limit Kobe is still very good, the price is not expensive, and it will not affect the team's follow-up.

After all the signings are completed, the team's current players, players with contracts, are finally no longer so few players.

Back line: Lowry, Tony Allen, Douglas, Stephenson, Jeremy Lin;

Forward players: Li Tian, ​​Turiaf, Bill Walker, Paul George, Anthony Randolph;
Center: O'Neal.

Looking at such a lineup, the center position is really weak and cannot be weaker. There is only one player at the center position, and he is still a veteran. Last season is the best proof. This guy can't play for a long time at all. It will end up out of breath.

The Knicks currently have only 11 players with guaranteed contracts. The team's forward line is still too weak. There are Lowry and Tony Allen on the back line, plus two rookies Stephenson and Jeremy Lin. This lineup is already considered Not bad.

The front line is too weak, except for Li Tian, ​​Paul George is too young, and the others are too weak, and Turiaf is even worse, even worse.

Needless to say, a center, an O'Neal, absolutely not.

Walsh regretted that Mozgov should not have been traded away in the first place. Anyway, the team can be regarded as a backup center.

"Walsh, how's Maddie?"

Li Tian's abrupt words still interrupted Walsh's thoughts.

"McGrady, he hasn't signed a new contract yet. It is very difficult for him to sign a new contract. You also know that his statistics last season were mediocre."

Walsh actually wanted to recommend McGrady. After all, Dolan found out Li Tian's cards through him at the time, but he couldn't say that clearly.

"How about we give him a 1+1 contract? The team is short of strikers. You know this. I believe in his ability. It shouldn't be a big problem to play for another two years. Even if it doesn't work, we can directly Lay off, it will not affect the team."

Li Tian suggested.

Hearing this suggestion, Walsh was also quite excited, after all, he still had to deal with this matter in the end.

The current total salary of the team is not high, and it has not yet reached the salary cap, only a salary of more than 4200 million, which is still far behind.

"No problem, I think McGrady will definitely not refuse."

In this way, the two finalized another contract. This Knicks team can be said to have no shadow of last season at all, and all of them are rookies.

Soon, Walsh and McGrady finalized a new contract. This contract is the same as O’Neal’s contract, with a total of 300 million for two years. The contract is slightly higher than the veteran’s basic salary contract. The second season is a team option. There is no way, injuries are more severe than tigers, and the team must make arrangements in advance.

The team's goal for the new season is the playoffs. No matter how Walsh looks at this lineup, he doesn't think they have any hope of entering the playoffs.

"Okay, the signing of the team has come to an end. The next step is to sign one or two power forwards or centers to make up for the lack of lineup, but we must not sign a long-term contract. Next season, we have to prepare for the introduction of Yao Ming. Mosaic management this season may not necessarily choose to trade Yao Ming."

Before leaving New York, Li Tian and Walsh talked for a long time, mainly about how the team can continue to strengthen.

Walsh was stunned. This is his first season, and the team has the hope of not paying the luxury tax. With such a lineup, he still wants to make the playoffs. He still remains skeptical. overwhelmed his wild thoughts.

"Don't worry about how Li signed the contract, all you have to do is how to complete the contract he explained."

Walsh is still in intense communication, hoping to trade Jordan and sign one or two strikers at the same time. The team has only 12 players, and there are still three players missing. He must complete this matter as soon as possible.

Just as Li Tian flew back to China with Taylor, another tsunami occurred in the NBA league.

Li Tian was traded to the Knicks and the Lakers disintegrated. These were all things that the league management could have foreseen, but this incident is indeed surprising.

James, who had disappeared for more than a month, finally appeared in the eyes of everyone.

On July 7, local time, James reappeared in front of fans through live TV.

James said in the live broadcast: "This is a very difficult decision. I decided to bring my talents to the South Coast and join the Heat."

As soon as the words came out, the media who were still belittling the Knicks in front of them instantly forgot about the Knicks. They had no time to discuss the Knicks at all.

The Heat have become the biggest favorites to win the championship. Fans predict their championship, and even think that even the strongest Lakers last season can't resist the Big Three in front of them.

After James announced the news, he, who was originally loved by thousands of people, was instantly cast aside by all fans.

Contrary to Li Tian leaving the Lakers, when he left the Lakers, the Lakers fans sent blessings, thanking him for his contribution to the team in the past three seasons; while James' departure was considered a betrayal, and the fans burned him in public his jersey.

They accused him one after another, wishing to kill him directly.

"Cheating, they are cheating, the league should stop such behavior."

Angie was furious again. Together with Pat Riley, he dismembered the Lakers. Unexpectedly, Pat Riley turned into a new Big Three behind everyone's back. In [-], every team was the one who led the team to the playoffs alone, and they actually appeared on the same team.
For a while, the Heat were pushed to the forefront.

Heat - the public enemy of the league!

In this regard, the three of James didn't care at all. After the Heat signed the contract, James disappeared again and began to train for the new season.

In order to be able to win the championship, the Heat began to sign crazy contracts and became one of the most active teams in the offseason. Of course, there was no need to make a deal. All the teams in the league strongly resisted the Heat and were unwilling to deal with them. Trading.

The Heat's Big Three were successfully formed, and the league suddenly began an era of anti-heat. Those teams that were originally unwilling to trade and prepare to rebuild also made rebuilding decisions immediately, especially the Eastern teams.

The Celtics are not old yet, and the new Big Three have reappeared. They don't know how many years to come, and they will no longer have any hope of rushing out of the East.

"God, I know how strong James is. Now with Wade and Bosh, I really don't know which team can stop them from winning the championship. Maybe the only one who can stop them from winning the championship is themselves."

Ewing said in an interview.

"It's unbelievable. This is the first time I've seen such a team. The stars of the three teams formed the Big Three at their peak. The league has entered the era of giants!"

Barkley also exclaimed. Back then, he left the digital man and was scolded by fans for a long time.

"Seeing such a crazy team, I think the league simply asks us to withdraw from the NBA and award the championship directly to the Heat!" Popovich only said this to the media after seeing the formation of the Heat's Big Three. , and asked other questions, he just kept silent.

A bloody storm was set off again.

The only surprising thing is that Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, didn't stand up and boycott the deal in the first place, mainly because he was busy because the team was busy trading and signing.

I didn't expect that just after the lineup was formed, the alliance would change again, and it was useless.

Just after landing in the Shanghai stock market, I saw Yao Ming.

"Li Tian, ​​have you seen the Heat's trade?"

The first time Yao Ming met Li Tian, ​​he didn't talk about the national team, but asked him directly about his views on the Heat trade.

"How else can I look at it? The Knicks' goal next season is the playoffs. Brother Yao, how is your deal now?"

What he is most concerned about is the trade of Yao Ming. He applied to the team. If Yao Ming can be traded to the Knicks, then his goal for next season is not the playoffs, and the finals are not hopeless.

Yao Ming, who is not injured, is in his best condition now. These few seasons are his peak period. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will be unbeatable in the center position in the league.

"There is no result yet. Mogou has always disagreed. They still want to sign a new contract with me, but I directly rejected it. Now the annual salary is not that important to me. What I value more is honor."

Yao Ming said what he thought in his heart, he hoped that the team could go further, but the new players introduced by the team were still not enough to support the team to go further.

"Do your best and obey the destiny, next season you will be free."

Quite helpless, Yao Ming is Mosaic's cash cow, as long as he is not traded, he can increase the team's income.

"Well, the team has already started training. When will your training center open? The national team can't wait any longer and has been urging me, when can the real training begin."

After Sun Yue finished the championship parade, he returned to China directly to participate in the national team training camp. The only difference now is that Li Tian himself is not in place, and everyone else is already in place.

It will start immediately, and it will officially start three days later, as well as my offseason training camp, which will also start at that time.

After the brief exchange between the two, Li Tian flew to Lucheng to prepare for the opening ceremony of the training center.

"Cousin, how are you preparing now?" Seeing Li Ming, after a short exchange between the two, Li Tian still asked.

"It's almost there. Now it's up to you. Everything else has been prepared. The sports stars who are coming now are much higher than the ones we invited. I'm still worried about this!"

Li Ming's head is getting bigger, this is the first time he encountered such a situation, people who were invited before did not come, but now they are not invited, and people are vying to come, what should we do?
It was several times more than expected, and many people would come, which he did not expect.The local provincial and municipal leaders should all agree to come. Now it is the State General Administration of Sports, men's basketball, national badminton, national table tennis and other important national sports events, all have arranged for people to come.

He knew that as his cousin, he would definitely invite many sports stars and Hollywood stars from the beautiful country, and he was a little crazy thinking about how he would arrange these.

He doesn't know how to arrange these people.

"Well, we are just holding a tailoring ceremony in the square, what is there to worry about?" Li Tian didn't understand Li Ming's troubles at this moment.

"Little God, you're inflated. Do you know that these people who came this time are all people we can't offend. For example, some leaders and domestic sports stars are our future customers. Your The players in the NBA are also our future customers, can you take care of all these people?"

He still doesn't understand that the cafes of these celebrities in the beautiful country don't know how to arrange them.

"Don't worry, you can make arrangements for domestic ones. For those I invite, don't care about their positions. I don't have to be there when the ribbon is cut. Then Taylor can go, or we don't go. Make arrangements for those leaders.

In the beautiful country, I will only arrange for Kobe to participate in the ribbon-cutting. I don’t think there will be any opinions in the country. If it is in the country, it is Brother Yao. These are all heavyweights, and no one else can object. "

It took a lot of talking and talking to comfort my cousin, but there is still work to do next.

More importantly, many things need to be arranged by him.

Some people who were originally invited, I just pretended to invite, but I didn't expect them to drag their families and bring their mouths.

What can I do, I can't take it back.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the NBA, there are a lot of people here, dozens of them. Fortunately, only some of these people have sufficient positions, and the others are average, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

"Are all the coaches and staff in place now?"

If the training center is to start, the personnel must be in place, otherwise it will affect these openings.

"No problem, the personnel and equipment are all in place!" Li Ming assured, patting his chest.
