Super Lord of the Rings

While Wang Jun was taking a break from practicing long jump on the track and field, he unexpectedly received a call from Jason Kidd.

After 2007, the two rarely contacted each other. They didn't call each other for several years and only saw each other on the court to say hello.

This is because Kidd has a shameful thing, which is well known to everyone, and he is disgraced and embarrassed to see others.

In 2007, Kidd formally submitted a divorce application to the court. According to his description, his wife is a "cruel housewife" who has often committed "domestic violence" and "abused her children" in her family life for nearly 10 years, with "extreme cruelty" and a commanding presence on the court. Kidd is the "masochist".

Kidd also complained to the judge that he had been tortured and abused both physically and mentally by Jomana, who often unreasonably interfered with the relationship between him and his children.

From then on, Kidd made everyone smile. Many housewives who were bullied in their family life regarded Qiao Mana as an idol figure, and a huge fan group called "Chocolate" was also formed in North America.

Qiaomanna's life is getting better and better, but after the "beating by his wife" incident was exposed, Kidd's life was completely different.

At that time, a TV station specially sent a helicopter to wait over Kidd's house all day long, trying to capture some of the superstar's explosive live scenes such as "kneeling on the washboard", "pulling his ears", and "kicking his crotch".

Not only has the media interfered with his private life, but on the court, Kidd has also become the target of ridicule from fans and opposing players. During a challenge to the Knicks, fans at Madison Square Garden held up portraits of Jomana and kept shouting at Kidd: "Your wife is here, aren't your legs shaking?"

The most popular greeting in the NBA locker room in 2007 was also related to Kidd - "Did you get beaten today?"

Kidd called because he wanted to defect to Wang Jun and join the Kings. Career was more important than face.

"King, does the king have a place now?"

"What, you want to join in the fun? Welcome." Wang Jun said with a smile.

Wang Jun respects this big brother very much. Without Kidd's guidance, he may have a defensive vulnerability in his first few years in the league.

Kidd asked: "I am not a good point guard now, but joining the Kings, I can help a little bit in training new players. I also hope to join the coaching staff to learn. Can you help me ask?"

"Of course, if you retire, I believe you will be a good coach.

"

Now that the Mavericks are fully pursuing Deron Williams, even if Kidd stays with a basic salary, it will be more difficult to compete for the championship.

Cuban is a good boss, but Kidd is unwilling to spend his last time with the Mavericks for the boss's sake.

The only good thing about him re-signing with the Mavericks is that his jersey can be retired there. Of course, he values ​​actual benefits more than the mere fame of having his jersey retired.

Coach Adelman is too old. He only signed a contract with the Kings for three years. He is not in good health. He persists only if he has the motivation to win. If he wins the Triple Crown, he will definitely choose to retire.

At that time, the Kings will have to find a new coach, and volunteering to become the team's head coach is Kidd's ultimate goal.

He is a smart man who sees far ahead. Joining the King's Draft and building a good relationship is a must and the most important first step.

If the King doesn't agree, he will choose to join the Knicks, because the Knicks have stars and the owner is willing to spend money. In the future, he may also become a coach and rise to the top in one step.

New York is his second choice because D'Antoni has dismissed get out of class and the new coach is unlikely to be fired within a year. Kidd has to wait for the opportunity.

After receiving the call from Wang Jun, Petri immediately agreed and hit it off immediately. "I will contact his agent right away. This is a big deal."

"Then I'll wait for the news and give him a reply."

Adelman had already stated that he was not in good health and did not want to continue. Finding a coach for next season is a headache for the management. Kidd is willing to come and the assistant coach will figure out one first.

At this point, the Kings' lineup for next season has been finalized with 14 players.

Center: Vucevic, Whiteside, Brand.

Power forward: James, Jerebko, Patterson.

Small forward: Carter, Battier, Carroll.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Ray Allen.

Point guard: Curry, Kidd, Thomas.

In the NBA, favors are often no match for interests.

When Kidd announced that he would join the Kings, Mavericks owner Cuban was furious, saying that this was an intolerable betrayal and that he would not allow Kidd's jersey to be retired in the Mavericks.

Kidd knew Cuban's temper and had anticipated that something like this might happen, but didn't take it to heart.

The next day, Cuban was in a better mood, and the Mavericks reached a three-way deal with the Jazz and Cavaliers.

The Mavericks sent Odom in exchange for a trade exception worth $8.5 million. This is the Mavericks preparing to compete for Deron Williams in the free market.

Because the Knicks are playing poorly and Deron has not renewed his contract, the Big Three in New York seem to be breaking up.

The Cavaliers sent point guard Mo Williams to the Jazz, and Odom joined the Cavaliers.

Odom played a total of 50 games last season, averaging only 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. Both technical statistics were the lowest in his career.

The Cavaliers want him purely for convenience. Jamison recently announced that he will join the Lakers with a minimum salary. The Cavaliers can also fully cultivate potential insiders Cousins ​​​​and Tristan Thompson.

Another day later, the Mavericks traded Haywood, the team's starting center, and they had already fought hard for Deron. There is also speculation that Deron is likely to choose the Mavericks.

As a result, the Mavericks still failed, and Deron announced that he would stay in the big city of New York. The Knicks management generously offered Deron a five-year maximum salary of 100 million, becoming the largest signing to date.

Cuban suddenly felt that his future was bleak. He didn't understand why the stars didn't choose the Mavericks? Why can't he spend any money he has?

The Mavericks management responded by trading point guard Darren Collison and shooting guard Dengtay Jones from the Pacers, and freely signed Nuggets shooting guard O.J. Mayo.

The common feature of these three role players is that they are all in a period of decline, in poor condition, and unable to make up for the losses of the Mavericks. Veteran sixth man Jason Terry was also poached by the Celtics.

There are no big-name stars to vote for, and Nowitzki is alone, and there is no way to attract other veteran free agents to join. The Mavericks will be even weaker next season. Not only are they out of contention for the championship, but it's also difficult to get into the playoffs.

The Knicks continued to strengthen and signed two role players, Kenyon Martin and Raymond Felton. The New York media said that they have a bright future, and New York fans also believe that they can compete for the championship.

This is too naive. Deron is different from Paul. His style of play is too limited and he is only good at pick-and-rolls.

His singles ability has always been overestimated, and everyone has been deceived by the highlights. Even in the Jazz, his singles efficiency is only at the level of a passerby.

Maybe this huge five-year contract will hurt the Knicks. The Knicks did not immediately renew Deron's contract because they were trying to sell Stoudemire. Unfortunately, no one wanted him. Stoudemire's contract was too big.

Stoudemire looked the least reliable in the decisive battle with the fire extinguisher, and his and Anthony's positions also overlapped. The data also shows that when Anthony plays power forward, he performs very well on both offense and defense, and the Knicks will benefit from this. Stoudemire's position is the most embarrassing.

Knicks owner James Dolan has been spending money lavishly, and he doesn't want to save money this time.

By renewing Deron's contract, there is no turning back for them.
