Super Lord of the Rings

Wang Jun frequently appeared in the news, and other NBA players couldn't stay idle. Some of them participated in the Drew League in Los Angeles.

Everything in the Drew League is free, relying only on donations from fans and players, it is a stage for young people who love basketball to exchange skills together, a stage that has nothing to do with money, but only basketball.

The relatively formal organizational form and relatively high level of competition have made many NBA players who are eager to "train with games" in the summer favor the Drew League.

This year's lockout is especially true, with more and bigger NBA players joining the Drew League.

Wall's 55 points were the most eye-catching performance, and Kobe also joined in. In a game in mid-August, he made a game-winning shot against Harden.

Playing is just one aspect. Many people gather in Los Angeles, more for communication and to attract people to join their teams.

In August, the league's regulations prohibiting contact between team management and players became more stringent, probably because Paul, Deron and other stars met too many people.

The latest regulation is that in addition to no contact in daily life, even in the virtual world, players, senior management and coaching staff are not allowed to have any form of contact.

In other words, during the lockout period, all players are not allowed to contact privately, and coaches and team officials are no exception.

The resulting joke is that if James, Anthony and others want to attend Bosh's wedding, because they are not a team, they have to ask the league to make an exception and give the green light.

In addition, several people from the Kings participated in the ESPY award ceremony. Coach Adelman and owner Vivek cannot travel with the players unless they are willing to pay a fine of 1 million US dollars.

"ESPY" was founded in 1993, and is known as the Oscar event in the sports world. The best athlete on the field.

ESPY's annual award ceremony will invite many top stars from the sports and entertainment circles to attend. Wang Jun became the best NBA player of the year, this is the fourth time he has won this award.

The more outrageous rule is that during the lockout period, NBA general managers and coaches can follow their players on Weibo, but they cannot repost players' Weibo, nor can they remind players to check any Weibo content. If a violator is found, there will be a $1 million price tag and even a loss of draft picks.

at the same time,

The general manager and members of the coaching staff are not allowed to send private messages to the players, and they are not allowed to contact the players in any form on Facebook, otherwise they will be fined $1 million. Of course, if you use your mobile phone to send text messages, the cost is also $1 million.

In addition, if the coaching staff of an NBA team has children playing in college, these coaches can only watch their own children's games, not other players' games, let alone train with their children. Lakers coach Mike Brown and Celtics coach Rivers are the "key targets" of this regulation.

There are a total of "seven prohibitions" in the rules, which are a supplement to the NBA's previous lockout-related contact regulations.

There are loopholes to be caught in everything. Players can meet each other when they participate in the Drew League, and it doesn't matter if the manager's assistants contact each other. Therefore, contact cannot be really banned, and no one has been fined. Anyone who really waited until the last two weeks to make a move would be stupid.

The funny thing is, there is another person who escaped a fine because of the lockout, and that is Michael Beasley.

He was caught speeding by police on holiday and a subsequent check found 16.2 grams of marijuana in the car.

According to the previous agreement, Beasley will be heavily fined and suspended for five games.

During the lockout, the league's anti-drug protocols, including testing and penalties, will not be in effect. This means that Beasley's problem can only be a purely legal issue, and he will not be subject to additional penalties from the NBA. Due to the lockout, the league currently does not have any policy regarding substance abuse control.

Beasley's possession of marijuana this time also raised a topic: How do NBA stars maintain self-discipline during the lockout? Reminiscent of the lockout in 1998, "Rain Man" Kemp was seriously out of shape after the lockout, and never regained his competitive state before the lockout. Beasley will most likely become the next Kemp.

Relying on loopholes, many teams have already discussed the content of the transaction.

The Rockets, Lakers, and Hornets are ready to announce the deal after the free market opens.

The Lakers will get super point guard Chris Paul, the price they paid is the inside double Gasol and Lamar Odom.

The Rockets will get Gasol, which is the primary goal in the summer. Kaman is in such a poor state that he can no longer be called a star. In order to close the deal, the Rockets can be said to have spent a lot of money.

The Hornets would get Eric Gordon, Goran Dragic, Luis Scola and Odom, as well as the Rockets' 2012 first-round pick (acquired from the Knicks).

It doesn't matter if Dragic is sent away. The Rockets' starting point guard is Stuckey, but once Gordon leaves, there will be no good shooting guards. He is an important scoring point for the team. And if the Rockets don't send Gordon, the Hornets are unwilling to trade. They want a powerful shooting guard.

The players are currently unknown, and no news has been released.

The Hornets get two potential young players, two insiders, and will complete the reconstruction in one step.

They are not worried about Paul's refusal. The Lakers are a big market team, and they have Kobe as their partner. Although the Lakers have weakened inside, they still have Bynum's support.

This is precisely the brilliance of Kupchak. The new coach Mike Brown is good at the defensive system, not the combination of inside and outside, triangle offense, keeping multiple inside stars may not be able to play well, Brown will not use it.

The presence of the big name Paul next season also calmed Kobe's emotions.

After the two championships, Kobe and the Lakers completed a high-paying contract extension. Last season was swept by the Mavericks, and Kobe began to force the palace again.

As one of the stars with the highest commercial value, even if Kobe often forced the palace, the management would not trade him, and he had to take his feelings into consideration.

Wang Jun and James have teamed up, and Kobe also wants to find two superstars to hug his thighs, and then he can lead the team to fight against the double kings and hit the championship.

In order to satisfy Kobe and let him complete the sixth championship to catch up with Jordan, Kupchak took great pains.

Hornets want a younger Bynum, the Lakers do not want to send, another meaning, they left Bynum can continue to use it as the main bargaining chip in the trade Dwight - Howard.

Howard has long been in the Magic, but it's hard to change a star of his level. After Kupchak considered it, the point guard was more important. After Fisher and Farmar left, the Lakers' No. 1 position was too bad.

The Clippers are also looking for people to negotiate, and they want to send Yao Ming.

After several injuries, Yao Ming's condition has declined year by year, and he is almost unable to play. His contract is the same as O'Neal's situation back then, and it is not easy to send it out.

In addition, the management of the Grizzlies and Celtics have already hit the line. The Grizzlies are preparing to send Rudy Gay and Iranian center Haddadi in exchange for Kevin Martin and the future two first-round picks of the Celtics.

As long as the deal is reached, the Celtics can absorb "fresh blood" and make a last-ditch effort before Garnett's contract expires.

The Grizzlies have one more stable three-pointer, and the offense can be played more flexibly.

Gay has been an outside core for a few years, but he hasn't made much progress. On the contrary, Love's statistics are pretty good, and Gasol Jr. can support him and make mid-range shots, which is also very good. The Grizzlies' center of gravity began to shift, and the inside double bears are the key players.

The perimeter defense relies on Tony Allen, DeRozan and Gay overlap in position, and the breakthrough is better. There is no Gay position in the team. Traded to Martin, the purpose is to lead the offense off the bench.

The starting lineup is strong and the bench is good. Next season, the Grizzlies are likely to become a championship team.

It is not easy for the king to defend his title.
