Zhou Mubai was wandering for more than a month and felt a little mentally exhausted, so he returned to the United States. Some people in China wanted to invite Zhou Mubai to advertise, but Zhou Mubai didn't like such lively scenes, and he didn't lack that little money, so he simply refused.

However, Zhou Mubai did not refuse to meet with the fans. He went to the big cities. The sensation caused by Zhou Mubai's arrival was definitely the level of the emperor's superstar. Every time he went to a city, he would attract fans of the crowd. His appeal to Chinese fans is no less than Kobe.

When Zhou Mubai returned to the United States, he invited a few rookies to train together. Naturally, the team's stadium was no longer available. Zhou Mubai spent money to rent a stadium to train for several rookies. He was a player and didn't have to worry about the bad things that stopped. He occasionally abused Klay Thompson and Leonard, and practiced their defense first.

Klay Thompson has a three-point shooting range, and as long as he trains his defense, he will be a top 3D player. Leonard's offense is not expected for the time being, but his defense potential is top-notch. As long as he trains his defense, he will be the team's defensive vanguard, and it doesn't matter if the offense is almost done.

In September, the league has announced that it will no longer hold the summer league, but if the labor and capital sides cannot reach a consensus quickly, the NBA will lose not only the summer league, but also the preseason and training camps that will start in October, and the regular season that will start at the end of October.

The 2011-12 season will be even more difficult for the Knicks, not only because it is a shrinking season, but also because of their main players who retire and trade. Now the real main players in the team are Iguodalatony Allen, and there are two more rookies.

Rookies have to take on more responsibilities. They have no summer league to train, no training camp, and no preseason. They have to make a splash in the regular season all at once. The regular season schedule is so dense that veterans who have played for many years are numb. Such a schedule is not a good thing for rookies.

It is not a good thing for core players. The intensive schedule will be more likely to be injured. So Zhou Mubai must be prepared? When ensuring victory as much as possible, everyone can have enough rest time? This way, only in the playoffs can they have enough physical strength.

The team cannot organize training camps? But Zhou Mubai can do it. He gathers people together? In name, it is a training for teammates to keep their shape. Is this a game of playing the edge? Even if the league finds it, it doesn't matter? Isn't it just a fine, Zhou Mubai, who is fined tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, doesn't even look at it.

Just as the Knicks were training in a hot day, the NBA negotiations also had some hope, and some differences appeared among the bosses. But what is interesting is that at this time? The players' union did not press down step by step, but began to make concessions.

However, by the end of October, the negotiations actually reversed because there were hardliners on the boss's side, and both sides blamed each other.

Time delayed too long? Stern began to give ultimatums to the players and threatened to give only 47% of the players' share.

NBA has been slow to play? The players have no income and the voices of compromise are gradually increasing. By November 10, there was news that the framework of the agreement between the two parties had been reached.

November 14? For the new agreement? The players started voting, and the final vote was 30-0. The players all opposed it. The union quit, saying that they would no longer negotiate on behalf of the players, and the players were ready to sue the league monopoly.

Stern, the old man, issued an ultimatum: "If there were no unions, the players' 4 billion guarantee contract would be gone."

In the end, the players still compromised. On November 26 that year, the league officially announced that it would end the 160-day suspension, and 103 games in the first two weeks of December were cancelled.

The season suspension is a very big harm to the league. To roughly estimate, the league's losses reached US$1.25 billion!

But no matter what, it was fine, and it was finally over. The fans who had no games to watch during the offseason were all excited. They were so bored that they watched the video of the previous game over and over again. Finally, they waited until the new season started. Now they saw the game because the schedule was so dense that the fans nodded and felt numb.

As for the Knicks, it is almost a game the next day, and there are even four back-to-backs. With such a intensive schedule, it can be expected that many people will suffer injuries in the middle and late stages of the season, but this is also impossible, and there is not much time left.

The suspension has been announced to end, and the league quickly opened the trading market. Chris Paul signed with the Clippers, and Billups, Caron Butler and others joined, becoming a strong team in the Western Conference;

The Lakers lost Odom and Shannon Brown and signed Goodlock, Millsap and others;

The Mavericks failed to win the championship last season, but maintained the basic lineup and also added Carter and Chandler. Their strength on paper has increased instead of decreasing, but the age of the team's veterans has increased a little;

Because Leonard was intercepted, the Spurs could only choose Morris and traded to TJ Ford. They could have obtained Stevenson's, but because the Mavericks wanted to win the championship again, they could only be lost.

The Thunder kept all the players and looked forward to reaching the finals again this year;

The Heat's strengthening has been effective, and they have won Bathir and traded Eddie Curry.

The Knicks also signed Gerald Green and Nick Young. Gerald Green signed with a basic salary. In the 2008-09 season, Gerald Green was abandoned after playing 38 games in the Mavericks. He couldn't make a living in the NBA and could only go to CBA to make a living. However, he was quickly cut by Guangdong Foshan. Green never expected that he could not keep his job with a 54.5% two-point shooting percentage, 46.5% three-point shooting percentage, 90.9% free throw shooting percentage, and averaged 26.5 points per game.

The Knicks lacked manpower in the shooting guard. Zhou Mubai suggested that Donny Walsh sign him, and Nick Young was also signed as a supplement. Of course, these two people will not have too many opportunities to play. The Knicks will definitely give priority to training Thompson.

In order to increase the strength of the inside, the Celtics signed Sean Williams and cut Jermaine O'Neal. Jermaine O'Neal basically played and stopped in the two seasons with the Celtics, and there were too many injuries.

It is a shrinking season now. The Celtics don’t trust O’Neal to hold on, so they simply cut him off. The Knicks took the opportunity to sign this veteran with some energy and signed with a basic salary. They didn’t require him to perform. They just need to take it when they need it. In this way, the Knicks’ lineup is basically completed.

In this series of trades, the Los Angeles Clippers became rich overnight. They formed an amazing starter: Chris Paul, Griffin, Chauncey Billups, Caron Butler and DeAndre Jordan.
