I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 594

After the 2008 Olympics ended, Chen Xiao stayed in China for a little more than a month. After winning the local Olympics, as the biggest star of the Olympics, there is no doubt that Chen Xiao has become the biggest sweet pastry in the entire country.

The media of CCTV, the media of Jiangsu Province, and the media of Hong Kong and Macau can be said that the invitations Chen Xiao received are all over the country.

As the most influential star in China's sports industry, Chen Xiao does not want to do some things. He has taken on the love of so many people, and he also needs to make his own contribution to this love, otherwise he would be too selfish. .

Of course, although this kind of national running is a bit tiring, I can feel the audience's love wherever I go, which is quite happy for Chen Xiao.

In short, after traveling around the country, it was September 28 when Chen Xiao returned to the United States.

The opening game of the Bobcats this season is to play the Cavaliers on October 30. There is only a month left. The training camp of the Bobcats has already started.

As the boss of the Chinese team, although Chen Xiao has not returned to the team for a long time, the Bobcats' training camp is still proceeding in an orderly manner under the leadership of boss Qiao.

I have to say that Boss Joe did a very good job this summer.

This summer, boss Joe's biggest job is to clean up the team's players and make available five players including Ross, Lopez Brothers, DeAndre Jordan and Roy Hibbert to sign them.

In order to sign these five people, Jordan needs to trade a few marginal players from the team.

In the end, the boss of Joe sent Francisco Garcia and Jarrett, Jack and Gortat to the Pacers, in exchange for the Pacers' future first-round picks and cash for the first three protections.

This trade is a win-win situation for both the Pacers and the Bobcats. The Pacers got the players Larry Bird wanted. The Pacers immediately got a group of high-quality players to complete the high-quality supporting roles needed for the rebuilding of the team. At the same time, The boss of the Bobcats Joe also paid back the kindness that Larry Bird had given to Chris Webber.

If Larry Bird held Webber to lay off Weber, the Bobcats might not have won the championship.

For these three players, their value is of course not just a first-round pick with the top three protections. Blind people can see that Gortat, Jack and Garcia are very good.

Garcia is the kind of high-quality 3D that the league lacks the most in defense and shooting. Garcia is worth a first-round pick, or even a lottery. After all, Garcia was originally picked by Jordan with the 21st pick.

And Gortat and Jack are also worthy of a draft pick from the edge of the lottery to the middle of the lottery.

These three high-quality chips were sent out in exchange for two lottos, and there was no problem at all.

But the Pacers got a lottery in exchange, and it's still a protected lotto.

This is a loss for Bobcats and Boss Joe.

This is so on the surface, but in fact, Boss Qiao earned it. Favor is always a hidden danger. When the bird asks for it, it is the most uncomfortable. Now let the favor of the bird be returned. If you lose points, you can also make money.

Just use these three people to exchange Webber's one-year usage rights + a top lottery.

Therefore, after completing this transaction, Boss Qiao is really debt-free and light-hearted, and finally there is no 'handle' in the hands of other people.

In addition, Fesenko, who was selected by the Bobcats with the 28th overall pick in the first round last year, was sent to the Jazz by Joe's boss in exchange for a second-round pick.

This is also a loss-making trade, which is true on the surface, but in fact it is still profitable for Boss Joe.

His son Jr. Jordan is now in the Jazz as a "hostage". In Sloan's hands, Sloan and the Jazz want Feschenke, and Joe Boss also "dare" not to give it.

Just kidding, the main thing is that Fesenko really didn't play in the Bobcats and has no value. Since the Jazz and Sloan think he can still be saved, let's save it.

On October 1, 2008, after returning to the United States, Chen Xiao took a three-day rest and arrived at the Bobcats training camp on time.

In the training camp, Chen Xiao also met those familiar teammates.

Matt Barnes, Bynum, Granger, Ilyasova, Roy, Aldridge, Daniel Gibson, Shane, Lowry, Rose, Lopez Big, Lopez Little, DeAndre Jordan, Roy Hibbert.

A total of 14 teammates, plus Chen Xiao, the Bobcats team has a total of 15 people.

In addition to these 15 official players, the Bobcats also have an informal player, and that is Livingston.

When Chen Xiao left in the offseason, he told Jordan that, if possible, give Livingston a development league contract.

Keep Livingston's job in the NBA, leaving him with the last dignity and hope.

However, Livingston was rejected in the end.

Livingston did not choose to sign such an informal contract with the Bobcats. For a super genius and little magician like him, such a contract was not what he wanted.

He only wants the official contract of the NBA, whether it is guaranteed or not, he only wants the official contract of the NBA.

Regarding this, Jordan and Chen Xiao also understood, after all, Livingston was indeed a fire.

Although Livingston did not accept the arrangement of Chen Xiao and Jordan, he accepted the kindness of Jordan and Chen Xiao. He did not sign a contract with the Bobcats, but stayed with the Bobcats to continue training.

This is also a very good thing for Livingston, at least, he still has a home.

Otherwise, he wants to continue training, I am afraid he will return to his alma mater and return to his hometown.

For him, who is not a very good person in the NBA, going back to his alma mater or returning to his hometown to train is definitely a torture.

Livingston is now training hard, looking for the feeling he has lost in the past year. When he regains the feeling, he will leave Charlotte to try out other NBA teams to find opportunities.

In history, this opportunity was his agent and Wade's agent begging Wade to be alms by the Heat.

And now, Livingston shouldn't feel that this opportunity was given away.

After talking about the Bobcats' changes throughout the offseason, let's talk about some major changes in the entire NBA this offseason.

For this offseason, the biggest change is of course the ownership of Allen Iverson, the biggest free agent of this offseason.

Because the Nuggets didn't deal with the boss George Carr and Anthony, Carl hoped that Iverson could stand up and take the position of team leader. Iverson refused, and Iverson didn't want to be sorry for his brother. And fan Anthony, I didn't want to be sorry for the coach George Carr who valued him very much, so Iverson chose neutrality, or avoidance, in the fight between the two.

In the case of a one-year contract with the Nuggets, the early implementation of the player option gave up the next year's contract of more than 20 million US dollars and became a free agent.

The 33-year-old Iverson is the league's MVP and one of the most popular stars in the NBA. In addition, he is still at his peak. Last season, he averaged 26.5 points and 7 assists per game with the Nuggets and shot 46% from the field. Such data and performance, to be honest, it is difficult for a team to refuse.

After all, Iverson now seems to be at the peak of his strength, shooting more accurately, and more team, and the contract requirements are not big, a middle class can be signed.

Such a player who wants popularity and popularity, strength and strength, and seemingly full of leadership, who can refuse?

So after Iverson jumped out of the contract, the Heat, Nets, Lakers, Raptors, Cavaliers, Spurs and other superpower teams handed out Iverson an olive branch.

In the end, Iverson chose the defending champion Heat from these teams.

Iverson now wants a championship, and the Heat is the defending champion. The three players of this team, Yao Ming, Wade and Chris Bosh, all seem to have reached the top.

In this case, the Heat seem to be the most promising team to win the championship and the team closest to the championship.

Although the overall strength of the Lakers is stronger, this team has not run in well, and whether it can run in well is still unknown.

In short, Iverson chose the Heat in the end, and after getting Iverson, the Heat seemed really invincible.

In particular, the Lakers, the hardest team, seemed to be caught in civil strife. After Artest came, Byron Davis found that he had lost his position in the team and wanted to leave.

But Byron Davis is reluctant to have his own bird rights, and wants to sign first and then change. This makes the Lakers seem like a feather in the offseason.

But in the end, the Los Angeles Lakers did not leave the Byron Davis who wanted to leave, they could only send Byron Davis to the Pistons and traded for Billups from the Pistons.

The entire NBA knows that the general manager of the Pistons, Joe Dumas, is crazy about young guard Stuckey, and Stuckey and Billups have a big conflict. When the two can only choose one, Joe Dumas is crazy. Mass finally chose Stuckey.

In history, at this time Billups was forced away by Stucky to go to the Nuggets, and the Nuggets and Pistons swapped Iverson and Billups.

But now in this time and space, Iverson and Anthony have a good relationship, and he chose to jump out of the contract, naturally there is no way to exchange with Billups.

In this case, there are not many teams that can provide the Pistons with swap opportunities, and the Lakers' Byron Davis is indeed a very suitable player.

The 29-year-old Byron Davis is a player who averages close to 22+8 per game, and is undoubtedly an All-Star player.

Under the pressure of having to send Billups away immediately, the Pistons have no reason not to trade with the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers lost the vicissitudes of harvest. When they lost Byron Davis and had to trade Byron Davis, the Lakers did not expect Billups to be forced to look like that in the Pistons.

For the Lakers, although Byron Davis is very good, Billups is obviously more suitable for the Lakers, and more suitable for Phil Jackson's requirements.

Billups, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Gasol, Odom, Nate Robinson and others.

The Lakers, who had been a bit of civil strife, once again became the hardest team in the entire league.

In short, the Lakers got Billups who is more suitable for them, while the Heat got their own answer from the point guard line. For a time, the two teams with the strongest hard power in the NBA have become each other. Stronger.

For a while, the entire NBA felt a little bit stressful.

Then came the problem. Chen Xiao remembered that at the Diamond Cup, Manu said that he was leaving the magic.

Why hasn't he left the magic yet?

Could it be that Manu deliberately lied to him in order to win the game, mess up his mentality?

Why isn't the magic moving at all now?

Did Manu deliberately deceive Chen Xiao?

of course not!

Just when Chen Xiao returned to the Bobcats training camp and worked hard with his teammates, running in.

At this time, in Orlando and San Antonio, Magic general manager Otis Smith and Spurs general manager Buford are still in a fierce clash.

In fact, the two have been clashing from mid-July to the present, and it will be almost three months since the end of the season and the clash until the beginning of the season.

Why is it so intense?

No way, this transaction is so huge that they have to make the two of them so crazy.

After all, in this deal, it involves the two newly promoted superstars Howard and Arenas, as well as Duncan, one of the greatest players in NBA history, as well as such powerful players as Parker and Ginobili. player of.

"Otis, if you don't get Hamilton into this deal, it's impossible for us to send Arenas and Dwight Howard to the Magic. Since you want them, you should know their value. We should also know their value to us. We just signed a maximum salary with them. Do you think that we provide them with a maximum salary to enhance their transaction value?"

In the face of Buford's questioning voice~www.mtlnovel.com~ Smith gritted his teeth. It has been three months, and the Spurs are really not letting go.

He got news from the gossip that Popovich wanted to welcome Duncan back, plus Arenas and Howard were interested after losing again in the Finals, so he came to the Spurs as soon as possible.

But, whoever thought, Popovich wanted Duncan, but Buford didn't seem to want it!

The problem lies here.

If the Spurs desperately need Duncan, then he and the Magic can take advantage of the robbery, just as they robbed Duncan from the Spurs.

But in the past three months, his confrontation with Buford was actually completed by him. He urgently needs Arenas and Howard, and the Spurs are not so urgent for Duncan.

Originally this deal should have been beneficial to him, but now it seems that it has become disadvantageous to them.

However, he still has to insist on the bottom line, otherwise, he is very clear that this will be a bottomless pit.

"Hamilton is very important to us. We can't add Hamilton to the trade, but you are right. We are all tired of such endless equalization. Although we can't send Hamilton to the Spurs, but..."

On October 8, 2008, before the start of the preseason game between the Bobcats and the Magic, Chen Xiao was still greeted by good friends Duncan, Ginobili, Prince and Hamilton Big Ben. The museum exploded suddenly.

"The Spurs and the Magic have completed a deal. The Spurs sent Arenas and Howard to the Orlando Magic and welcomed Duncan back from the Magic, as well as Ginobili, Parker, and Prince!"

When Jordan finished talking excitedly, Chen Xiao was stunned.
