Zhou Xuan is very disappointed with the development of Chinese basketball, otherwise he would not have said these things. If his seniors hadn't played well, he wouldn't have fallen in love with basketball and embarked on this path. Nowadays, the national team, as long as teenagers watch the game, may lose interest in basketball. Fortunately, there is a totem like Zhou Xuan to support it. Some people who love basketball will work hard if they want to be as strong as Zhou Xuan. Rather than seeing the performance of the national team and thinking, I'm Chinese, no matter how hard I try, I'll just play like these people and have no future, so I'd better do something else. Find a stable job and get five insurances and one fund. Is this a big span? It's not big at all. Most Chinese people accept five insurances and one housing fund, which makes people feel more secure. After Guangzhou came Shanghai, Beijing, and then Zhou Xuan left China. The fans were so enthusiastic that he had no personal space at all and was surrounded by people wherever he went. There were fans surrounding him outside the hotel, waiting for a day, hoping to see him and get his autograph. If we could chat for a few words, it would feel like we would die without any regrets. Zhou Xuan has repeatedly said that he should not be regarded as a god, but that he can be regarded as a goal and develop in his direction. The things he likes are more important than chasing stars. But for the star-chasers, their goal in life is to chase stars. When it comes to other things, they always listen to the left ear and the right ear. Zhou Xuan fans have already figured it out, but those who chase Korean stars are really speechless. Korean dramas are too divorced from reality. Who has ever seen the main character working in Korean dramas? Every day is about love triangles, eating, and nonsense In this way, some young people are only thinking about Oppa's long legs. Before there were Korean dramas, when talking about lotus root, maybe everyone would only think of Nezha, because his body is made of lotus root. (Is this a thing?) In July, the free market opens. The Lakers and Kobe Bryant completed their contract extension. Some fans analyzed that Kobe would choose to retire after being abused by Zhou Xuan. In the end, Kobe did not retire. He chose to fight for two more years with a contract of 4.66 million. Buss Jr. showed what "father's love is like a mountain". After two years of soy sauce, the team did not make the playoffs. Kobe was a little embarrassed to ask for a high salary, so he reduced his contract by 200,000 from the previous contract. Duncan and Ginobili announced their retirement. Duncan is already 3 years old. Although his statistics are still 14.7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 offense and 2 blocks, he feels that there is no hope for the championship and there is little point in staying to fight for the playoffs. He already has enough money and wants to spend more time with his family. The reason why his wife cheated on him was that he had too little time to take care of his family. Ginobili's condition has seriously declined. He considered retiring as early as two years ago. Popovich also immediately announced his retirement, fulfilling his promise of "I won't stay if he leaves." Tony Parker announced that he would jump out of his contract and test the free market. He wanted to go to a strong team. Many Chinese pseudo-fans are puzzled by this, "Don't the GDp team advance and retreat together? Why doesn't Parker retire together?" Because Parker is only 33 years old, how can he retire? The Spurs instantly changed from a championship team to a rebuilding team, and many teams expressed interest in Parker. Millsap left the Hawks and joined the Grizzlies on a two-year contract. The Grizzlies no longer plan to renew the aging Zach Randolph's contract with a high salary. If the fat man wants to stay, he will have to take a salary cut. Millsap made a smart choice two years later. He became a free agent in 217 and can pursue a larger contract. Gasol renewed his contract with the Grizzlies. Randolph did not agree to the Grizzlies' low-salary offer and waited and watched. As a powerful insider who is good at scoring, many teams are interested in him. In the end, Randolph joined the Pelicans for 1.96 million in two years. Asik has a poor offense, Randolph can resist people, grab rebounds, and help Anthony Davis clear the inside. For the team's defense, he may serve as a substitute in the new season and is likely to compete for the league's best sixth man. Dragic signed with the Rockets for 660,000 in four years. It turns out that the Rockets are really a nostalgic team. After Dorsey and Ariza returned, Dragic also returned. Beverley's contract expired to free up salary space, and they needed a star defender to assist the "modern" combination. Dragic is a good choice. Although he was not selected for the All-Stars, his statistics of 19.2 points and 6 assists last season were very good. He chose to jump out of his contract a year early in order to join a team that could potentially win the championship. He is a player who does not love money but loves championships. It would be more beneficial for him to be a free agent in 2026. Rajon Rondo signed a two-year contract extension with the Mavericks for $1.86 million, and he and Nowitzki will continue to work hard for the championship. The Mavericks also introduced center Tyson Chandler, and Cuban finally found a big man who can defend to protect Nowitzki. The Heat will completely enter a period of decline after losing Chandler, and there will be no protection inside. Chandler hopes to join a team that has many scorers and is in urgent need of defenders, where he can shine the most dazzlingly. As long as he is not injured, Chandler is a trustworthy star center, even if his scoring ability is not strong. The Mavericks offered Chandler Parsons a high salary, 4.86 million for three years, which is not outrageously high. However, the Knicks still chose to renew Leonard's contract and let Parsons go. Mullin to PaSi's quoted annual salary is less than 10 million, also for three years. Mullin believes that Parsons plays well because the system benefits. Without Zhou Xuan passing the ball, his data may shrink, his defense is not as good as Leonard, and he should not be more expensive than Leonard. Leonard averaged 10.7 points, 44 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game last season. He was mainly responsible for defense. The Knicks used a one-year contract of 260,000 to keep him. From the data point of view, Leonard is just a role player. Giving him this contract is not thin, and he earns much more than Bledsoe. Other teams are poaching Leonard, and none is bigger than this contract. In fact, Leonard plays a very big role. Mullin believes that his style is like Iguodala, he is active in defense, does not take the shot, and is the person the team system needs. Now that Matthews is gone, nothing can be done to let him go. The Knicks lacked small forwards, and an unfavorable situation occurred. Knowing that there are few of them, the players' agents will take this opportunity to demand high salaries. Both Beasley and Butler hope to get a stable long-term contract. Giving Beasley a long-term contract is not part of Mullin's plan. Beasley is too unstable. If he scores 2 goals in a game, he may make one shot. Butler is old, and all statistics last season hit career lows. His style of play is relatively simple, he catches the ball from the outside and rarely breaks through. His advantage is that he has experience and is a good tactical executor. Mullin can give him 300,000 at most, and it would be meaningless to pay him any higher. Butler was not satisfied with the money and chose to join the Pistons after considering it. After waiving Josh Smith, the Pistons are short of forwards. The Lakers poached Beasley with a two-year, 600,000 contract. They also need a small forward. Nick Young is ready to leave, and Wesley Johnson alone won't do it. The Lakers originally planned to poach Monroe, but Monroe only wanted the maximum salary and rejected the Pistons' six-year offer of 660,000. The Lakers were under great pressure to renew Kobe's contract, so they abandoned the plan. If Monroe goes to Los Angeles, the training of the two rookie insiders will also be a problem. Kupchak finally did not make a fool of himself. Beasley can be used as a transitional player and a guest appearance at the 4th position is enough. The Knicks suddenly urgently need a forward. Kyle Anderson is not a qualified starter. If Leonard plays small forward, there will be no one at the second position. The Knicks want to find someone with a million-dollar annual salary like Parsons. It is extremely difficult to cost-effective players. Just when people thought the Knicks' prospects of defending the title were slim, Mullin took action. Signed unrestricted free agent Rudy Gay for $660,000 in 4 years. ¡°As a result, the five starters are all players with an annual salary of over 10 million, and there is also Ryan Anderson on the bench who will make 10 million per year next season. The Knicks¡¯ salary suddenly exploded. In order to defend the title, Knicks owner James Dolan will not be stingy. After seeing the fourth crown, he began to want to win the fifth crown. Don¡¯t the Nets and Cavaliers want to compete with who has more money? Then let¡¯s compare. In recent years, the Knicks have always made the most money in the league, and they can afford to spend as much as they want. Gay¡¯s annual salary in the Kings reached 1.93 million last season. He averaged 2.7 points, 62 rebounds, 46 assists, 2 steals and 06 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.0 and a three-point shooting percentage of 3.0. It can be said that he has reached the peak of his career. Even with Hayward getting a maximum salary, Gay can definitely pursue a maximum salary. The contract given by the Knicks is not big, it is the same as the one Hibbert signed back then, and it seems to be a great value. Gay has only one goal, and that is the championship. He once signed a "junk contract" with the Grizzlies and is not short of money. People like this like to defect to Zhou Xuan. Now the Knicks have a fourth giant. Gay is very strong on the defensive end. He has the body of a top defender. He can do very well in one-on-one defense and can also help block shots from the side. Protect the rebound. New York fans are all relieved. Fans believe that under Zhou Xuan's organization, Gay will play well and perfectly replace Parsons' position. Even Guy's support ability is not inferior to Parsons, he is better than before. The Knicks seem to have strengthened, which is something other teams don't want to see, but they can't stop it. Can you stop someone from spending money? Back then, the Knicks couldn't even make the playoffs with a pre-tax salary of 120 million, and the boss continued to poach people. If you are rich and willful, what can you do? The Cavaliers also made big moves. They signed Thompson, Waiters, Varejao, and Haywood in exchange for the Trail Blazers' Aldridge. Haywood was the top player and immediately announced his retirement. He was already walking and playing ball. This is a deal that shocked the entire league. Ade's stable 2fl0 has already entered the ranks of superstars. Many people even say that he is the number one power forward in the league. Ade wants a championship and wants to play on a strong team. Seeing that they couldn't keep him, the Blazers had no choice but to trade. After having Martin, Waiters' position overlapped with his, and his shooting was quite different. Thompson's position could be replaced by Marion, and the Cavaliers boldly made a trade. This is also because the management is worried that James will feel that the lineup is not good next year and enter the free market again. Love is a free man next year, so that could happen. Adelaide and Love are two super inside partners, small forward James, and outsiders Martin and Irving. They are most likely to compete with the Knicks, who are also the Big Four lineup.
