NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 269 Melon Wants to Go Home?O'Neill into the Celtics! !

Chapter 260 Nine: Melon wants to go home?O'Neill into the Celtics! !

In fact, when Jiang Chao was training with the national team and the Knicks internally, there were still a lot of small news happening outside.

It's just that none of them reached the level of alarming Jiang Chao.

And because a lot of the news in the early stage was Mo Gou's bad news, even if Jiang Chao read it, he just watched it.

"Zhu Yanshuo: Scola can be abandoned for the Melon Rockets, don't hesitate if you get the chance"

"The Rockets want to send Ariza away, play money-saving mode"

"Anthony competes for the Wizards to join in the fun, Melon's hometown team has more chips"

"It is revealed that the Rockets will sign a new point guard with a two-year contract, and Junior Brother Duncan is expected to join Hugh City"

"The Rockets are looking forward to Melon joining, Anthony's wife actually appeared in Houston! "

"The Wizards contact the Nuggets to inquire about Anthony, and the capital teams other than Wall are nothing more than selling goods!" "

"The Lakers still need to trade Melon?Experts say the defending champion should stay the same"

"Exposing the Lakers chasing the Cavaliers sharpshooter + Grizzly King, McGrady? The Lakers don't want old guys"

"The Heat's potential signings point to Meng Yashen, please pay attention to him besides AI McGrady"

"Magic intends to lure Anthony to join Howard"

"The Bulls and Hornets are expected to become Anthony's new ownership"

"The Nuggets who lost the melon will repeat the mistakes of the Cavaliers"

……

The most uproarious one is "Melon's Heart"

As a super scorer with TOP3 scoring ability in the active league, Anthony is now a sought-after melon, and he is also the first player to say 100% that he will not renew his contract with the Nuggets and wants to test the free market.

And he didn't go to the Dream Team training camp.

It seems that the superstars whose contracts expired this season didn't go much, James, Wade, Howard and other superstars didn't go. This time, Durant, Rose, Westbrook and others led the team.

The children of the "03 Golden Generation" seem to have collectively realized this year that they have passed the age of unconstrained imagination and must become more utilitarian for things like victory and rings!

Even unscrupulous! !
Just like the "post-80s" who represented the cutting-edge and fearless in the past, how many people look back sadly in the entanglement of work, mortgage, and marriage? !

The same is true for Melon. After rejecting the invitation of the Dream Team, he ran around. This time he returned directly to his home in New York and asked to see Jiang Chao by name.

"No time, no see."

Jiang Chao smiled at Mark Jackson, he is indeed not free.

And Mark Jackson is also an old man. In fact, the Melon team is a bit stupid. Boss Jiang has recruited 3 small forward rookies this year and they have already given contracts. He will basically not play forward stars.

Didn't you see that when all the teams are chasing LeBron James, only the Knicks are silent.

He just came to Jiang Chao to ask for an affirmative answer, and then passed it on to Anthony.

After all, Anthony is considered a figure in New York. As a local assistant coach in New York, Mark Jackson still needs to help with this.

"What? Don't see me?"

"Maybe he is busy with the World Cup recently."

"Okay, you guys wait!"

Melon was furious, with serious consequences.

After Jiang Chao rejected Anthony's meeting request, he turned around and drove to Brooklyn. After so many years away, he really wanted to go home.

In fact, his team knows that the Knicks have no ball rights when Anthony joins with Turk Drew and Coeha, which overlaps with his big C's style of play.

And this Boss Jiang is a very strong boss, but Anthony and the team want to use Anthony as the core, so they should not be able to get together, even though Anthony is one of the best super scorers.

However, the charm of New York is too great. Fortunately, the Nets moved to Brooklyn, and Anthony still has the idea to become the king of Brooklyn.

The Nets management is even worse...

According to Downey Jr.'s tip, the Nets even negotiated conditions when Anthony wanted to join, and asked Anthony to bring another superstar to come with them, otherwise they would not be negotiating.

Melon came to the Nets to give you face. He is in the fourth position in the West. Why do you say such a thing when you are the last in the league? ? ?
Before Melon returned to his hometown, 12 teams contacted and wanted to pursue him!

Therefore, the whereabouts of the melon suddenly became a cloud.

However, there are still some small movements. For example, O'Neal, who was half-dead with the Cavaliers last year, signed a contract directly after finding a job in the free market.

And Angie really knows how to talk. The former No. center in the league was signed this year with only the veteran's basic salary when the Cavaliers were still receiving the maximum salary last year.

The hottest news in the past few days is the next stop of the big shark.

The Boston Celtics have officially signed free agent Shaquille O'Neal.

The Celtics will provide the former league's No. 1 center with a 1+140 veteran's basic salary contract, with a first-year salary of about million US dollars, while O'Neal has a player option for the second-year contract.

"It's not every day that a team can complete the signing of a star player like O'Neal, so we cherish this cooperation very much." Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said.

"His experience will help our team to a certain extent, and we feel that O'Neal will be a very good fit for the Celtics team lineup."

As soon as this transaction came out, the free market was still shaken.

The same is true for the Knicks. Many high-level executives are complaining that if it is so cheap, the Knicks can definitely win.

But what Jiang Chao meant was that if he really went to the Knicks, the asking price would not be this price.

Jiang Chao's understanding is that the Celtics want to win the championship again and avenge the Lakers, but why did O'Neal join with such a low salary?

In his opinion, it wasn't all because he was too fat and his combat effectiveness declined too quickly.

It's because Kobe won the championship again this year. In this case, O'Neal's status will be in jeopardy. The conflict between him and Kobe is well known. He doesn't want his number of championships to be lower than Kobe's, so there is also a kind of embracing at the end of his career. It means the thigh is a champion.

So it is impossible for him to join other teams.

From the current market point of view, it is basically Hukai who has the highest probability of winning the championship next year, and it is impossible for the OK combination to reunite, so it is a good choice for O'Neill to choose the Green Army to fight for another year at the end of his career.

After O'Neal joined the Celtics, the current staffing of this Eastern powerhouse is also unprecedentedly strong, which also makes Western stars who want to travel east have to weigh it.

Although in this offseason, Tony Allen, the predator of the Celtics, switched to the Memphis Grizzlies, and veteran insider Rasheed Wallace also chose to retire.

But the general manager of the team, Angie, helped the Celtics complete a good transformation. Under his operation, the Celtics not only successfully retained the head coach Doc Rivers, the All-Star player Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

Also signed (poached) former Heat star Jermaine O'Neal.

This can be regarded as the off-season trading textbook of each team: weaken the opponent's strength while strengthening its own strength.

"Angie is still strong."

Jiang Chao couldn't help praising him after he dug O'Neal, but now everyone would never think that James' subsequent decision really shocked the entire league.

Looking at the entire Celtics now, the starting lineup of O'Neal, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo is not inferior to the new Big Three of the Heat.

The bench also sits Perkins, Glenn - Davis, Jermaine O'Neal and Van - Weaver and other powerful titans.

And this kind of bench depth is slightly stronger than many veterans signed by the Heat.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Celtics are full of winning temperament.

The Lakers are all nervous, right? The Celtics are too aggressive.

The Lakers basically don't move. After all, the championship lineup can't move if they can. It's just a year old. It seems that the Lakers have to have countermeasures.

However, after the Celtics formed such a strong formation, some experts were not optimistic about O'Neal's joining the Celtics.

"Sports Illustrated" reporter Chris Mannick said in a talk show column:
"This decision was not easy for both parties. Obviously, O'Neal's salary cut is too exaggerated, you must know that he took a maximum salary of 2000 million U.S. dollars last year.

And for a team to accept a bench role, he gave up too much money. "

At the same time, Manick also believes that the Celtics' signing of O'Neal may not have been unanimously approved by all the team's top management, and such an approach may be just the personal operation of general manager Danny Ainge.

"What I can know is that this is not the decision of the entire team, this is just Ainge's personal approach. He has also taken such risks, such as Gary Payton and Stephen Marbury. Because in his view, these Players are what make a team successful, and there's no question in Ainge's mind that O'Neal is exactly what this team wants."

In fact, the voiceover is that the year before last, didn't they bring Marbury over?

The results of it?No or not suitable.

However, the "big shark" didn't care about the experts' doubts. In his opinion, being able to stay in the NBA and continue his career is already the perfect result.

"I am very honored to be able to join the Celtics team," O'Neal said in an interview.

"I'm very excited to be able to play with Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal. They are all great teammates and I can't wait to compete with Boston. The new champion!"

"Then if you meet Kobe?"

"I'll kick his ass!"

For a while, the Celtics became very popular because of O'Neal's basic salary.

Everyone in the Knicks thought that Jiang Chao would be too nervous.

After all, if you aim to win the championship in the second year, it is impossible to do nothing now.

Isn't this too calm? ? ?
Even Liu Yan took the initiative to liberate Jiang Chao's body and mind for the first time, fearing that Jiang Chao would put too much pressure on herself.

Physical fire reduction No. 1 Scarlett even took a video to Jiang Chao’s fire reduction, and went to Jiang Chao’s room at night to watch the video and simulate on the spot...

"You guys underestimate me too."

Jiang Chao smiled while holding a pink rabbit fur while riding a horse:

"I'm waiting for the Heat, it doesn't matter now."

You must know that Kaizi will actually age seriously next year, and O'Neal will give up on himself after the basic salary. He has not been very self-disciplined in his career, and he is really worth a basic salary next season.

Moreover, Nate Robinson, the little thigh of the Celtics next season in the previous life, has long been traded to the West by the Knicks. The aging of the Celtics' lineup is very serious.

When the tempo is getting faster and faster, this slow style of play can only be overwhelmed by fast breaks again and again.

"Ah, Heat?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm very hot now, I need you to come down the fire."

Jiang Chao took off the silk cicada clothes on them with both hands...

Senpai's jade-like body...

Scarlett's tall...

……

Jiang Chao really is as stable as a mountain after the start of the Las Vegas Summer League.

Even if the green army is strong and strong, even if all the one-year contracts that are popular with Jiang Chao are just farting, in the end it will be nothing but a bamboo basket.

Even though the Knicks forum has exploded, many Melon fans have already agreed that the Knicks want to recruit Melon, and they are still helping the Knicks.

The reason why Jiang Chao is as stable as Mount Tai is not all because the girls live well when they put him down, but because he clearly knows that the real excitement of the free market this year will be after the Heat deal is completed.

It was the moment when the summer drama James went to end, and that was also when Jiang Chao took the hand.

Now it's all about playing around, it's boring.

It's better to watch Xialian.

Summer League is really fun, because the men's basketball national team has joined, and the Knicks' game against the Chinese national team is so interesting.

Curry Harden is considered a "veteran" in Summer League this year, so he didn't come. They participated in a higher-level training game and went to serve as a training partner for the US team.

Therefore, the Knicks are still newcomers to the summer league this year and some summer league signing players, such as Stephenson + Whiteside, although they have already signed a contract with the CBA, it is understandable to come to the summer league to practice in the CBA off-season.

Then the most coquettish thing is that Li Kaier represents the Knicks playing the Chinese men's basketball team.

This is Jiang Chao's suggestion. As long as the World Championships haven't started, train more domestic players and don't rely too much on Li Kaier.

Then Jeremy Lin begged Summer League head coach Stephen Kerr to give him a chance because he couldn't find a job everywhere, but he still had a basketball dream.

The Xialian contract was worthless to the Knicks. Jiang Chao nodded in agreement, so Jeremy Lin played seven or eight games for the Knicks Xialian.

He even had a one-on-one match with Kyle Anderson while Jiang Chao was watching.

Because Sun Yue didn't get the contract because he lost the heads-up at the time, Shuhao also wondered if he could get a two-way contract if he won the heads-up?
The result is that Kyle Anderson's defense directly locks his space, and the offensive end is even more unplayable. Li Kaier plays big and small, and can get the ball with his back rolling or jumping.

Therefore, Shu Hao is also convinced that there is a reason why he was not selected, and there is a reason why the Knicks did not choose him with the 18th pick in the second round.

This naturalized player is indeed better than him!
So this year's Knicks summer league lineup is Jeremy Lin + Stephenson + George + Kyle Anderson + Hayward + Da Baibian. Just looking at the lineup, this is the NBA starting lineup for later generations.

Jiang Chao jokingly said to Cole that your lineup should be able to enter the top 8 level in the NBA.

It is indeed possible, Shuhao and Sledgehammer organize, Finsen scores, there are two All-Stars, and a block leader, it is no problem to enter the playoffs, right?

So think about the Knicks' current lineup is really full of talents.

But I didn't expect this Knicks Summer League team to lose when they played the Chinese men's basketball team!
One is that Sun Yue, who has been in the Knicks Development League for a year, broke out and scored 20+7+4 rebounds!
He worked hard when he saw Shuhao, and I waited for a year.

Just for this moment, to prove yourself!
Don't lose to you, a failed college student!
The Knicks didn't deserve to lose. Although this group of people has a great reputation in the future, they have no chemical reaction at all now. Finsen's character is fully exposed. Even George is reluctant to pass the ball on the court. It seems that he is the 8 The appearance of the number show.

But the insiders of the Chinese national team bullied Dabaibian and Hayward to death. The United Arab Emirates was fine, but Wang Zhizhi played with his footsteps and Dabaibian played five times in a game.

"Thank you for helping to train the national team. We will remember this kindness!"

After playing the Summer League in Las Vegas, the Chinese men's basketball team has shed a layer of skin, as if everyone's self-confidence is different. Anyway, they are definitely not afraid of confrontation.

"What's the matter, come on World Championships, get back to the top, it depends on today!"

Jiang Chao even felt that it was a good time for the Chinese team to come to Xialian, and he also tempered the hostility of Finsen and Dabaibian who were unwilling to go to the CBA. Let you know that the CBA is not so easy to play, and they also have many good players.

You are the number one Zhan Chuan in history, and Guo Ailun gave the ball to you.

……

August.

The quadrennial men's basketball world championship kicks off in Xingyue Country.

The Chinese men's basketball team has experienced a trough for two years. This time, without Dayao, it is bound to show the demeanor of the king of Asia.

"I would like to defend the glory of China with my youth!"

The cheers for their expedition this time were written by Jiang Chao.

"When you put on this jersey, there is a whole country standing behind you!"

"Give me a rush!!!"

"Ye Qing is back!!"

When he saw that in the first game against Greece, Kyle Anderson made a breakthrough in the first game and helped Fei Yi Jianlian to catch the lobs, Jiang Chao blew the whistle directly.

This guy's first ball hit a smooth alley-oop that the men's basketball team has never seen in the next ten years! ! !

And when he was playing against Turkey, Turk Drew, the boss of the civil war, went up and down twice in a row and flew the old churros agent away, scoring 2+1 goals on the board and amazed the audience.

"This Li Kaier is so awesome, and Jiang Chao, who is behind it, is too good. I found such a suitable one."

"I would like to call Jiang Chao the godfather of the men's basketball team!! Who is for and who is against!!!"
