I’m Really Playing Basketball

Remember [] for a second,!

With Chen Xiaohua falling to the Golden State Warriors, and the Warriors' cap space being extremely abundant, many people are looking forward to Jerry West's big deal after the opening of the free market on July 1.

After Jerry West invited Chen Xiao and this year's No. 2 pick to the Warriors, many NBA general managers staring at this year's free market are actually shivering.

After all, this year's free market is not really big, but it's not very small.

However, some players are absolutely in demand.

For example, Timberwolves star McGrady.

The 33-year-old Maizi has not been very successful in the Timberwolves in the past few seasons. He has never been able to make a breakthrough with the Big Three combination with Garnett and Pierce. The relationship between the Big Three is not very harmonious, but , the superstar of the league, his current strength is still very much recognized and sought after by the league.

With the great success of Chen Xiao and Durant over the years, McGrady, the former prototype of these two, can be said to be one of the most profitable players.

Many teams now acquiesce that in the current NBA super team, if your team does not have a player like Chen Xiao or Durant who ignores defense, your team must have problems.

In the entire league, there are a lot of players of the size of Chen Xiao and Durant, but like Chen Xiao and Durant, there are not many players who can really ignore the defense.

And McGrady is undoubtedly one of them.

Although Maizi did not suffer from an injury outbreak due to Chen Xiao's butterfly effect, he is not a very rough player himself. In addition to his age, he actually has a great hidden danger of injury.

Such a player, you need to consider when you want to give him a big contract.

But after the opening of the free market, many strong teams in the NBA didn't even think about it, just like Maizi gave tens of millions of big contracts.

As an NBA general manager said: "Even if McGrady can't jump, he can be a shorter Nowitzki."

Listen to this, Maizi left the Timberwolves this year, and was really sought after by the entire league.

And many experts believe that Maizi's next home is likely to be the Golden State Warriors.

First of all, Maizi and Chen Xiao have a very good relationship. Although Maizi's open-mouthed style makes him often 'black' Chen Xiao and Kobe in the media, Chen Xiao and Kobe, who know Maizi's character, have never really thought about it. Maizi's 'emotional intelligence is too high' is true, and it is the envy, jealousy and hatred of children.

Therefore, as reported by media experts, the relationship between Chen Xiao and Maizi has indeed always been very good.

At the same time, Maizi also said more than once in the media that he wanted to be teammates with Chen Xiao.

Now that Maizi has returned to free agency, and the Warriors have a lot of space, isn't this an opportunity?

Therefore, everyone said that the biggest fish in the free market this year, Maizi, is going to go to the Warriors and Chen Xiao to form a team.

Really, this doesn't look like the slightest resistance.

Even though Chen Xiao said that he would not team up with a superstar in the Warriors, but Maizi is now 33, in fact, he can no longer be regarded as a superstar in his playing years.

If you are over 33 years old, no one will spray you with whoever you team up with.

This is the consensus in the nba.

In fact, Maizi was actually waiting for Chen Xiao's invitation.

Just like Chen Xiao invited O'Neal back then, he invited him.

Well, because of O'Neal's self-bragging, everyone felt that Chen Xiao invited O'Neal to go to the Bobcats, rather than surrendering if he couldn't fight.

Chen Xiao has not dismantled this dead fat man for a while, so this also gave Maizi an illusion.

As a proud person, before Mai Zikey was 30 years old, he was definitely unwilling to be teammates with Chen Xiao Kobe, but now, he is really willing.

First of all, the age issue needs to be considered, and secondly, he has really been angry with the Timberwolves for the past two years.

Garnett and Pierce agreed, he went to the Timberwolves, he is the boss, as the boss, what's wrong with my infinite fire?

Even if you are a little bit firm, you can't have an opinion.

You are so untrustworthy, you deserve not to win the championship!

Of course, it is enough to complain about this in your heart, and you will definitely not say it.

However, the resentment in his heart is still deep, and he wants to be like O'Neal's anger at Kobe, and follow Chen Xiao to succeed once or twice again, making these two guys who are madly pursuing the championship and can't be mad.

Therefore, although the proud wheat is not as clear as what he said directly, there are some hints in the interview.

Tsundere waited for Chen Xiao to invite him like O'Neal could not wait.

Well, Maizi still thought about it, the first time he would refuse Chen Xiao, the second time, he reluctantly wanted to agree, but he would refuse, the third time, he would agree, and then reluctantly agreed to Chen Xiao's invitation.

But wait and wait, I didn't get any news from Chen Xiao at all.

On the contrary, after the opening of the free market on July 1, the news of the first signing from the Warriors was immediately obtained.

The Bobcats' dynasty hero, backup center Lopez signed with the Golden State Warriors for 4 years and 93 million.

The Bobcats have a very deep center, Cousins, Roy Hibbert and Lopez, these three young centers, Cousins ​​is the most talented, Roy Hibbert has the best defense, and is the only traditional type Big center, and Big Lopez is the best shooter.

The three centers have their own characteristics. If possible, Jordan would of course want to keep them all, but it is clear that even if Chen Xiao's departure has released 40 million annual salary for the Bobcats.

It is also impossible to renew Roy Hibbert and Lopez at the same time. After all, this year, the Bobcats still have a Rose who is going to sign the "Durant clause", which is 145 million over five years.

Therefore, if the Bobcats keep Lopez and Roy Hibbert at the same time, the luxury tax will be exploding, and the luxury tax is estimated to start at 300 million.

This is no joke.

Moreover, as Cousins ​​continues to grow, many of the functions of Lopez and Cousins ​​do overlap.

For the Bobcats, Big Lopez is indeed a bit tasteless.

But for the Bobcats, Lopez is a bit tasteless, which does not mean that it is also tasteless to other teams in the NBA.

Big Lopez's defense can't be said to be very good, but his weight is heavy, he has excellent rim protection at the basket, and his ability to block shots and rebounds has always been good. Don't let him go out of the penalty area, let him guard the basket, his defense is actually good. of.

Coupled with his excellent shooting ability and offensive ability, he is still quite sought-after in the NBA.

Many teams are willing to offer him a contract close to 20 million, that is, a 4-year contract of around 70 million to 80 million.

If Lopez's agent has a little more control, a higher contract is also possible.

After all, good centers are indeed scarce now. A big center like Lopez who has such a good offense and can make up for the problems in defense is an absolutely scarce resource.

Anyway, the Bobcats do not want, and the other team has the highest price.

Just when these teams were fighting for Big Lopez, these teams also thought the Warriors and Jerry West were fighting for McGrady.

The whole world did not expect that Jerry West directly won the big Lopez with a maximum salary...

According to the NBA's labor-management agreement, if Lopez owns the bird rights, his maximum extension period is 5 years. Because the Durant clause is not triggered, his maximum extension contract is 5 years and 127 million US dollars.

If a team is willing to sign with the Bobcats first and then trade, he can sign a 5-year contract of 127 million yuan. Maybe there are teams willing to do so, but the Bobcats are not willing. The biggest goal of the Bobcats this season is to The salary of the explosion has dropped, and the Bobcats have no shortage of people. DeRozan, Curry, Jimmy Butler, Kemba Walker, Isaiah Thomas, how many people are waiting for the top.

Gu Xi </span> Lynx would not accept any contract of such a large amount.

Therefore, Lopez also knows that it is impossible for the Bobcats to sign and then trade with him. The other party adds 10 draft rights, and the Bobcats will not be willing. The Bobcats really have no shortage of draft rights and talents. The Rockets' draft rights can still be used in 2017. Woolen cloth.

Therefore, Big Lopez also knows that his non-bird rights renewal can only be extended to 4 years and 93 million at most.

And this is also the goal of Big Lopez. As a dynasty center with three consecutive championships, Big Lopez really has no shortage of honor. He is now like making money and making more money.

Therefore, he is preparing to fight for a max salary for himself this summer, and he has time and energy to spend with the general managers or owners of these NBA teams.

However, he never dreamed that on the first day of the free market, Jerry West and the Golden State Warriors handed him a 4-year, 93 million contract directly.

Big Lopez was stunned, as were other NBA teams hoping to get Big Lopez.

In a pile of 4-year contracts of 70 million to 80 million, the Warriors handed over this is so dazzling, so touching.

Although Big Lopez expected a maximum salary for himself, he never thought that the team would give him a maximum salary as soon as he came up.

It can only be said that this trust is really heavy.

It can only be said that Boss Chen is always so open in his work.

What else is there to say?

Of course, directly signed with the Warriors.

Big Lopez came to the Warriors very excited and moved.

Of course, Big Lopez misunderstood Chen Xiao. In fact, Chen Xiao did not participate in Jerry West's team building plan.

Jerry West invited Chen Xiao to participate, but was rejected by Chen Xiao. The successful cooperation with Jordan made Chen Xiao trust these super managers who have made a statement.

It can only be said that Bynum's failure has left Chen Xiao with lingering fears now.

If it weren't for Jordan's "eye of God", the draft vision was too conspicuous, and Chen Xiao's career with the Bobcats would definitely not have been so smooth.

Therefore, after being asked by Jerry West which position he would most like to play, Chen Xiao said that after small forward, everything was handed over to Jerry West.

Therefore, Maizi actually misunderstood. Chen Xiao didn't participate in the Warriors' team building plan at all. If he could wait for Chen Xiao's call, it would really be a ghost.

Of course, Maizi certainly didn't know about this, and it was impossible for his arrogant personality to call Chen Xiao first to ask.

But he desperately wanted to be a teammate with Chen Xiao. In the end, Maizi had to wait, wait, many teams made offers to Maizi, but he rejected them. The appearance of waiting for Chen Xiao's phone call is really good. It's a bit high, but what's even more annoying to Maizi is that Chen Xiao just doesn't have a phone...

Of course, Maizi refused so many contracts, and he also had his own considerations. Seriously, he could not go to those junk teams. At least they were at a higher level than the Timberwolves. There are only about 10 teams in the entire league.

However, most of these teams are like the Heat, Bobcats, and Lakers who can't wait to reduce their salary this season. How could they add another player with an annual salary of 10 million?

So, Maizi waited and waited, and ordered...

Because NBA teams can’t wait for Maizi all the time. If they don’t sign you, they have to sign others. Those next-level teams also have pursuits. If you don’t like us, we will find those who like us. team.

In the end, Maizi suddenly found that, as the biggest player in the free market, no one wanted him, and Chen Xiao's phone call still didn't come...

"Isn't my hint obvious enough that Chen can't hear it?"

This makes Maizi doubt life.

Just when Maizi doubted his life, Chen Xiao was already in London.

The time has come to August, and the Olympic Games are about to start.

As the last Olympic Games for Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the last competition, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, and the Chinese men's basketball team all attach great importance to it.

After all, the United States this year is definitely one of the strongest in history.

Center: Oden, thick eyebrows

Power forwards: Chris Bosh, Aldridge

Small forwards: James, Durant

Shooting guards: Kobe, Wade, Ron Howard

Point guards: Chris Paul, Rose, Curry

This American team is definitely the strongest American team in the history of the Chinese team. It is reasonable and powerful.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao finished dealing with the NBA, all his thoughts were on preparing for the Olympics.

Of course, although Chen Xiao did not participate in Jerry West's team building, Jerry West would also tell Chen Xiao about the team's changes in a timely manner.

After signing Lopez, the Warriors did not continue to sign players, but hired Bobcats assistant coach Steve Kerr from the Charlotte Bobcats to replace the Warriors' original head coach Mark Jackson as head coach.

I have to say that Jerry West really understands the ball and will rebuild the team as needed after the team's head coach is in place.

As for taking the big Lopez so quickly.

It can only be said that Big Lopez is too suitable for Chen Xiao to play a small forward, and thick eyebrows to play a power forward.

A fleshy center with range and rim protection, with thick eyebrows and Chen Xiao, this is simply...

Big Lopez can't help defense, too slow?

Hehe, with Nongmei and Chen Xiao playing power forward and small forward, do you need the help of Lopez?

So, after Steve Kerr came to the Warriors, Jerry West asked him, is there any more important player you need?

Bill, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Klay Thompson, Chen Xiao, Thick Eyebrows, Big Lopez, Livingston, Matt Barnes…

Steve Kerr takes a look at the Warriors' current roster.

For a while, Jerry West couldn't say anything, and he was madly complaining in his heart.

Boss, what are you asking me to say?

In the end, Kerr felt that he could not say anything, so he subconsciously said: "Maybe, we are lacking a player you think is lacking now?"

Then, Jerry West poached a 5-year, 70 million contract with the Thunder on a 4-year, 70 million contract. But the Thunder are only willing to give Sergio Ibaka 5 years and 65 million.

Cole took a look, good guy, you even helped me prepare five small...

What is a nanny, this is the strongest nanny!

On the other side, Mai Zi, who had been waiting for Chen Xiao's call, was really confused.

The Warriors' big contract may have been given...
