Healing Basketball

   Chapter 747 747. Puzzling wolf tube

On August 2, 2006, Gary Payton officially submitted an application for retirement to the league, held a press conference to officially announce his retirement, and joined the Trail Blazers scouting department. Next, according to the latest regulations implemented this year, with Payton's situation, After retiring, he can get more than $5,000 in social security and medical insurance subsidies a year, and if he applies for unemployment assistance, he can also get some cash.

  But the black players always have strange ideas. They still have some money in their pockets, so they don’t take these subsidies, and feel that it’s embarrassing.

  Payton, the best defensive player ever, a historical defensive player with 9 first defenses, and a well-known star with a 16-year career, he has retired. He deserves headlines, right?

   But unfortunately, no one paid attention to his retirement.

  Almost at the same time, Yahoo sports columnist Wojin Navorski broke the news-the Bulls and the Timberwolves reached a deal, and Garnett traveled eastward to join the Bulls!

   As soon as this news came out, the basketball world was shocked!

   Immediately after the NBA official website updated the latest transaction status, the transaction was confirmed.

  The Bulls, Timberwolves, and the Wizards and Hornets who were drawn into the deal also confirmed the deal.

To put it simply in this deal, the Bulls sent Luol Deng, Michael Sweetney, Darius Sangueira, two unprotected first-round picks in 2007 and 2009, and took it from the Hornets. PJ-Brown's final year contract of $8.56 million next season will be traded from the Timberwolves for Kevin Garnett.

  The Timberwolves sent Kevin Garnett and got Luol Deng, Sweetney, two first-round picks from the Bulls, Mark Jackson from the Hornets, and Mike James from the Wizards.

The Wizards and Hornets also got what they wanted. The Wizards thought they had too many point guards, so they sent out Mike James, who had just been traded from the Raptors, and got the tough insider Darius Sangay La; the Hornets, in order to save money, sent away PJ-Brown, who was highly paid but useless to them, to make room for the new No. 1 pick Aldridge.

  In the first round of last season, when the Bulls played against the Heat, some people regretted that the Bulls had everything, except for a superstar, and now they have it!

   Pistons, Heat, Nets, Pacers, the Eastern F4 has added another strong team, and the Bulls have squeezed into the ranks of the Eastern Conference powerhouses!

  …

   "Hard special plus boxing champion, the little emperor is really miserable..."

   Liu Xiu looked at the details of the transaction written in the news and mourned for James.

  Yao Ming on the side asked strangely: "Karnett's style of play can't be called tough, he is fierce, dirty... his face is very tough."

   Seeing that Yao Ming didn't like Garnett either, Liu Xiu said, "Brother Yao, you are also in the East."

   "..." Yao Ming was silent for a while, and cursed: "You're on a horse..."

   None of the superstar insiders look down on Garnett, but no one wants to be an opponent with Garnett.

   Not likable is not likable, but human strength is really strong!

  Garnett took any inside line and compared it with the Pistons, Heat, and Pacers.

  Wang Zhizhi felt that it would be good for him to be a role player at this time, and his troubles were all the big ones.

  Liu Xiu called and chatted with Bill Duffy for a while, and asked if there was any insider information about this transaction in the agent circle, not for any reason, just pure curiosity.

   There is really inside information. It is said that the Timberwolves agreed to the deal because the owner of the Timberwolves was moved by the Bulls' behavior of letting Roy, the No. 2 pick, give them.

  Liu Xiu didn't know how to complain when she heard the words.

  The Timberwolves really can't see that the Bulls are just trying to save money?

There is another insider information. Originally, the Bulls wanted to give the boxing champion to the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves also disliked the boxing champion. They felt that the growth of the boxing champion was too slow. The Bulls switched to two first-round picks.

   This made Liu Xiu silent for a long time.

  He finally understood why the refrigerator was about to give the Timberwolves to the Celtics, and the Timberwolves owner fired the refrigerator.

  Liu Xiu took out a small notebook and wrote down the five names of Hinrich + Gordon + Nocioni + Garnett + Chandler. After reading it for a while, she suddenly realized.

  None of his business!

  Even if the strength of the Bulls surges, they may not be able to get out of the Eastern Conference. The Eastern Conference teams should be the ones to suffer.

  But the loss of stars in the West seems to be getting more and more serious, and another superstar has gone to the East...

  …

  Garnett joined the Bulls, Yao Ming was depressed for two days, Liu Xiu was fine, and Wang Zhizhi was nothing to do with himself.

   This incident is also a popular event in the Chinese men's basketball training team, but just like ordinary fans, everyone just watches the fun, and once the heat is over, what should they do?

   Time passed day by day, and on August 8th, after the morning training, the training camp was over.

   After a day off, the team members will be notified of the final selection results.

Everyone has a different attitude towards "selection". Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, and Yi Jianlian formed a six-member team with full confidence. They returned to BJ together in the afternoon and went to Liu Xiu's grandfather's house I had dinner in the small courtyard.

Knowing that Sansha is Liu Xiu's apprentice, Liu Xiu's grandfather is very enthusiastic about these three. As an old chef, he has taught many apprentices. The one he dislikes the most is his own son, who has been trained for so many years. Let him take over the restaurant, but this scoundrel went to the United States to block the repairman, don't you think it's annoying.

   It’s just that Liu Xiu’s grandfather originally thought that Sansha was learning to play basketball from Liu Xiu, but it turned out that he was learning to fight…

  After the meal, after the guests left, Liu Xiu's grandfather chased Liu Xiu's uncle for a street.

  In the eyes of Liu Xiu’s grandfather, Liu Xiu is still the good boy more than ten years ago. He studied in the United States, lived in his uncle’s house for several years, and finally became a top player in the American sports world! Notorious!

...

  The next day, Liu Xiu took a day off at her grandfather's house, and received a notice from the basketball management center to report there.

   On August 10th, Liu Xiu joined the national team.

  The final lineup is the same as Liu Xiu, Yao Ming and others guessed when chatting.

  Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, and Yi Jianlian were all selected. Mo Ke, Liu Wei, and Li Nan, who participated in the Athens Olympics, were also selected, and there were 3 newcomers.

   Zhang Songtao, who is only 21 years old, 213 cm tall and 130 kg in weight, was selected.

  Liu Xiu estimated that it was used to replace Battelle who did not participate in the World Championships. The mobility is acceptable, the tonnage is sufficient, and the skills are not good, but they have it.

  Wang Shipeng, 23 years old, Guangdong gang, 196 cm, 94 kg body, good skills.

The last person is Sun Yue, who is known as the most talented singer in domestic basketball at present... The 206 cm tall guard, only 21 years old, looks very promising at present, with good organizational offensive ability and extremely **** the defensive end. Yao Ming has a big hat, which is quite amazing.

   Liu Xiu looked at these teammates, mainly inside teammates, full of confidence! Looking forward to this trip to the island country.

  In the afternoon, a group of hundreds of Chinese men's basketball team officials, staff, coaching staff, trainers, team doctors...and 12 players took a chartered flight to Nagasaki, Japan.
