NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 269: Melo wants to go home? O'Neal joins the Celtics!!

Actually, while Jiang Chao was focusing on the national team and the Knicks' internal training, a lot of small news happened in the outside world.

It's just that they didn't reach the level of alarming Jiang Chao.

And because many of the early news were about Mo Gou's bad news, even if Jiang Chao read it, he would just take it lightly.

"Zhu Yanshuo: Rockets can give up Scola for Melo, don't hesitate if you get the chance"

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

"The Wizards also came to join in the fun of Anthony's battle, Melo's hometown team has more chips"

"It was revealed that the Rockets will sign a new point guard on a two-year contract, and Duncan is expected to join Houston"

"The Rockets are eagerly anticipating the signing of Melo, but Anthony's wife actually shows up in Houston!"

"The Wizards contacted the Nuggets to inquire about Anthony. Capital teams other than Wall are just for sale!"

"Do the Lakers still need to trade Melo? Experts say the defending champion should stay the same despite changes"

"Revealed that the Lakers are pursuing the Cavaliers sharpshooter and the Grizzlies King, Tracy McGrady? The Lakers don't want the old guy"

"The Heat's potential signing points to Yumeba Shenshe, please pay attention to him besides ai Tracy McGrady"

"Magic intends to lure Anthony to team up with Howard"

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

"Losing the Melons and the Nuggets will make the same mistake as the Cavaliers"

…

Among them, the most popular one is "Melon's Thoughts"

As the top three super scorer in the current league in terms of scoring ability, Anthony is now a popular player, and he is also the first player to express his 100% refusal to renew his contract with the Nuggets and to test the waters of the free market.

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

It seems that none of the superstars whose contracts have expired this season are going. James, Wade, Howard and other superstars have not gone. This time, Durant, Rose, Westbrook and others are leading the team.

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

Even at any cost!!

Just like the "post-80s generation" who represented the cutting-edge and fearless people in the past, how many people are now looking back sadly amid all the entanglements of work, mortgage, and marriage?!

The same is true for Melo. After he rejected the invitation from the Dream Team, he traveled around. This time, he returned directly to his home in New York and asked to meet Jiang Chao by name.

"Not available, no see."

Jiang Chao smiled at Mark Jackson and said that he was indeed not free.

And Mark Jackson is also a veteran. In fact, the Melo team is a bit stupid. Boss Jiang has recruited three small forward rookies this year and has already given contracts to them. So there will basically be no more forward stars.

Didn't you see that when every team is chasing LeBron James, only the Knicks are silent?

He just came to Jiang Chao to ask for a positive answer, and then conveyed it to Anthony.

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

"What? You don't see me?"

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

"Okay, you wait!"

Melon was very angry and the consequences were serious.

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

In fact, his team all knew that even though the Knicks had Turk Drew and Kuha, Anthony didn't have much possession of the ball after joining, which overlapped with his big-C style of play.

Moreover, Boss Jiang is a very strong boss, but Anthony and the team want to have Anthony as the core, so they probably can't get along, even though Anthony is one of the top 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 more outrageous...

According to Downey Jr.'s report, the Nets even negotiated conditions when Anthony wanted to join, asking Anthony to bring another superstar with him, otherwise there would be no need to negotiate.

Melo Melo comes to the Nets to give you face. He is in the fourth position in the Western Conference. Why do you, the last in the league, say such a thing???

Before Melo returned to his hometown, 12 teams contacted him and wanted to pursue him!

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

However, there are still some small movements. For example, O'Neal, who almost fooled the Cavaliers last year, signed directly after finding a job in the free market.

And Ainge really knows how to talk. The former No. 1 center in the league was signed with the Cavaliers for the minimum salary this year even though he was still receiving the maximum salary last year.

The hottest news in the past few days is the Sharks' next stop.

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

The Celtics will provide the former league's No. 1 center with a veteran's minimum salary contract of 11%, with a first-year salary of approximately US$1.4 million, while O'Neal has a player option for the second year of the contract.

"It's not every day that a team can sign 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. We feel that O'Neal will be a perfect fit for the Celtics' lineup."

As soon as this deal came out, the free market was shocked.

It's the same with the Knicks. Many senior executives are lamenting that if it's so cheap, the Knicks can definitely win it.

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 Green Army wants to win the championship again and avenge the Lakers. Why did O'Neal join with such a low salary?

In his opinion, it was not 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 to the world. He doesn't want his championship number to be lower than Kobe's, so he has a sense of teamwork at the end of his career.

It means winning a championship with your thighs.

So it is impossible for him to join other teams.

From the current market point of view, Hukai will basically have the greatest chance of winning next year, and it is impossible for the OK combination to reunite again, so it is a good choice for O'Neal to choose the Green Army for another year at the end of his career.

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

Although this offseason, the Celtics' toughest player Tony Allen transferred to the Memphis Grizzlies, and veteran inside player Rasheed Wallace also chose to retire.

However, team general manager Angie still helped the Celtics complete a good transformation. Under his operation, the Celtics not only successfully retained head coach Doc Rivers, All-Star players Ray Allen and

Paul Pierce.

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

This can be regarded as a textbook for off-season trading for each team: while strengthening one's own strength, one also weakens the opponent's strength.

"Angie is still strong."

Jiang Chao couldn't help but praise him after seeing him poaching O'Neal Jr., but now no one would have thought that James' subsequent decision would really shock the entire league.

Looking at the entire Celtics lineup now, O'Neal, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo's starting lineup is in no way inferior to the Heat's new Big Three.

Also sitting on the bench are powerful players such as Perkins, Glen Davis, O'Neal Jr. and Van Wever.

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

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Celtics have the winning temperament.

The Lakers are all nervous, okay? The Celtics are too resolute.

Basically all members of the Lakers are immobile. After all, they have a championship-winning lineup. They can do it if they can. They are just playing one year older. It seems that the Lakers have to have countermeasures.

However, even after the Celtics formed such a strong lineup, some experts were not optimistic about O'Neal joining the Green Army.

"Sports Illustrated" reporter Chris Manik said in a talk show column:

"This decision is not easy for both parties. It is obvious that O'Neal's salary cut is exaggerated, considering that he received a maximum salary of US$20 million last year.

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

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

"What I know is that this is not the decision of the team as a whole, it is just Angie's personal approach. He has also taken such risks, such as Gary Payton and Stephon Marbury. Because in his view, these

Players can help the team succeed, and there is no doubt that in Ainge's view, O'Neal is exactly what this team wants."

In fact, the voice-over was that didn’t you bring Marbury over the year before last?

The result? No, it’s still not suitable.

However, "Shark" doesn't care about the experts' doubts. In his opinion, being able to stay in the NBA and continue his career is the most perfect result.

"I'm honored to join the Celtics team," O'Neal said in an interview.

"I'm so 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 championship!"

"What if I meet Kobe?"

"I'll kick his ass!"

Suddenly, the Celtics became famous because O'Neal joined with a minimum salary.

Everyone in the Knicks thought Jiang Chao would be extremely nervous.

After all, if you aim to win the championship the next year, you can't 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.

Scarlett, the first person to physically reduce fire, even directly filmed a video to reduce Jiang Chao's fire. At night, they went to Jiang Chao's room to watch the video and simulate it live...

"You guys underestimate me too."

Jiang Chao was riding a horse while holding a pink rabbit fur and said with a smile:

"I'm waiting for the Heat. None of this matters now."

You must know that Kaizi will actually age seriously next year, and O'Neal will give up on himself even more after receiving a basic salary. He has never had much self-discipline in his career, and next season will really only be worth a basic salary.

Moreover, Nate Robinson, the small-legged Celtics player in his previous life, has already been traded to the West by the Knicks next season. The Celtics' lineup is aging very seriously.

As the pace becomes faster and faster, this slow style of play can only be overwhelmed by fast attacks again and again.

"Ah, Heat?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm very hot right now and I need you to cool me down."

Jiang Chao took off their silk clothes with both hands...

Senior sister's body as smooth as jade...

Scarlett's high curly...

…

Jiang Chaozhen has been as stable as a rock since the start of the Las Vegas Summer League.

Even if the Green Army is strong and strong, even if there are various criticisms in the public that Jiang Chao's one-year appointment is just a fart, in the end it will be nothing.

Even though the Knicks forum has exploded, many Melo fans have already agreed that the Knicks are recruiting Carmelo and are still helping the Knicks.

The reason why Jiang Chao is as stable as a rock is not entirely because he is doing well when the girls try to calm him down, but because he clearly knows that the real exciting moment in this year's free market will be after the Heat trade is completed.

That's when the summer drama "Where's James Goes" comes to an end, and that's when Jiang Chao takes action.

Nowadays it's all just small fights, which is boring.

Might as well read Xialian.

Summer League is really fun, because with the addition of the men's national basketball team, it will be very interesting for the Knicks to play the Chinese national team.

This year, Curry and Harden are considered "veterans" in the Summer League, so they did not come. They participated in higher-level training matches and went to serve as a sparring partner for the American team.

Therefore, the Knicks still have newcomers and some Summer League contract players this year, such as Stephenson Whiteside. Although they have signed a contract with the CBA, it is understandable that they come to the Summer League to experience during the CBA off-season.

Then the most outrageous thing is that Kyle Lee represents the Knicks and plays 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 Kai.

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

The summer league contract was worthless to the Knicks. Jiang Chao directly agreed, so Jeremy Lin played seven or eight summer league games for the Knicks.

He even had a duel with Kyle Anderson while Jiang Chao was watching.

Because Sun Yue didn't get the contract because he lost the duel, Shuhao also thought about whether he could get a two-way contract if he won the duel?

The result is that Kyle Anderson's defense directly locked up his space, making it even more difficult for him to play on the offensive end. Kyle Lee was playing big and small, and he could score the ball even with his back without jumping.

Therefore, Shu Hao is also convinced. There is a reason why he was not selected, and there is a reason why the Knicks did not select 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 composed of Jeremy Lin, Stephenson, George Kyle Anderson, Hayward and White Wings. Just looking at the lineup, this is the starting lineup of the NBA in the future.

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

It's indeed possible. With Jeremy and a sledgehammer organization, Finson scoring, two All-Stars, and a block leader, it's no problem to make it to the playoffs, right?

So think about it, the Knicks' current lineup is really full of talent.

But I didn’t expect that the Knicks Summer League team would 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 2,074 rebounds!

He got excited when he saw the scholar. I waited for a year.

Just for this moment, to prove myself!

Not inferior to you, a failed college student!

The Knicks did not lose unfairly. Although this group of people will be famous in later generations, they have no chemistry at all now. Finson's character is exposed. On the court, even George can't bear to pass the ball. It seems that he is 8

The appearance of the show.

The inside line of the Chinese national team bullied Da Baibian and Hayward to death. Fortunately for the Arab League, Wang Zhizhi was the one who played with Da Baibian's feet five times in one game.

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

After playing in the Summer League in Las Vegas, the Chinese men's basketball team has shed a layer of skin, and their self-confidence is different. Anyway, they are definitely no longer afraid of confrontation.

"What's the matter? Come on for the World Championships and get back to the top. It depends on today!"

Jiang Chao even felt that the Chinese team came to Summer League just in time, and it also tempered the hostility of Fensen and Dabaibian who were unwilling to go to the CBA, letting you know that the CBA is not that easy to play, and they also have many good players.

Zhan Chui, your number one player in history, was passed by Guo Ailun.

…

August.

The four-year men's basketball world championship begins in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

The Chinese men's basketball team has been in a trough for two years, and this time without Yao Yao, it is bound to show its style as the King of Asia.

"We are willing to use our youth to defend the glory of China!"

The message of support for their expedition was written by Jiang Chao.

"When you put on this jersey, there is an entire country standing behind you!"

"Come on for me!!!"

"Ye Qing is back!!"

When he saw that in the first game against Greece, Kyle Anderson made a breakthrough and hit a high ball without looking at anyone to help Yi Jian connect with an alley-oop, Jiang Chao whistled directly.

This girl's first ball was a smooth alley-oop that the men's basketball team has not seen in the next ten years!!!

And when playing Turkey, the boss of the civil war, Goth Kedrew, unexpectedly beat the veteran agent with two consecutive up and down steps, and stunned the audience by scoring 21 goals.

"This Li Kai is so awesome. The person behind it, Jiang Chao, is so awesome. I found someone so suitable."

"I would like to call Jiang Chao the godfather of men's basketball!! Whoever agrees and who disagrees!!!"
