As Li Xing initially expected, the dispute between labor and capital entered the final stage.

This protracted shutdown has affected the new season, and the league has officially announced that all games in November have been cancelled.

The labor and capital also met many times during this period.

On November 26, 2011, after 15 hours of negotiations, the labor and management finally announced an agreement, ending a long suspension of 149 days. If everything goes well, the new season will officially kick off on December 25, US time, and the free market and training camp will be opened at the same time on December 9.

The suspension ended at this time, which made many overseas teams suffer.

Previously, since the suspension was not visible, many players chose to play overseas. According to ESPN statistics, a total of 70 people are currently playing overseas. Among them, most of the players had the option of jumping out when they signed contracts with overseas teams. Now that the suspension has ended, they can immediately terminate their contracts with the team and return to the United States to prepare for the new season.

It is worth mentioning that the NBA players who signed contracts with Chinese teams during the suspension period have no so-called "bounce-out clauses" due to the regulations of the Chinese Basketball Association, which means that even if the NBA shutdown is over, they cannot leave CBA.

As for Chinese players, Space Yi, it is not listed here. He is Chinese. Of course, Chinese people want to help the Chinese. He can leave as he wishes and return to the United States to continue working hard.

For Li Xing, this was expected. He prepared for two months of special training for this. Now that the suspension has ended, all matters have started again.

In December, the Toronto Raptors' new season training camp was held at the Esbjor Center.

Li Xing was the first player to report.

Seeing Li Xing, Snyder gave him a hug.

He was surprised to find that not only did Li Xing not be overly indulgent because the offseason was too long, but his figure looked stronger than at the end of last season and his physical condition was very good.

"Rach, it's great to see you!" Triano held Li Xing's hand excitedly.

Li Xing smiled and said, "I heard that you have been very comfortable recently."

"Things that are not available are all rumors." Triano quickly denied.

Triano recently couldn't wait to join the Raptors' gossip news group. A reporter photographed him meeting the young model privately. Although he strongly denied it, the outside world has determined that he is eating young grass.

Sometimes the masses are so mean. No matter how you deny it, it will be useless. Unless you can provide evidence that makes people have nothing to say, otherwise, whatever people say will be what they say.

Li Xing met many teammates, Stephenson, Pondsett and Whiteside, and also appeared in the training hall on the first day of the training camp.

Stephenson's body is obviously much stronger than before, and Whiteside is hard to describe.

This guy can't tell that he had worked hard in the offseason. He has not been strong in his body and his skills have not been strengthened, which is not much different from when last season ended.

Seeing the few moves he fiddled with during training, Li Xing could conclude that this guy had no special training at all.

Now Li Xing knows why they can exchange this guy from the Kings with a second round pick.

Maybe the Kings thought they had made a profit.

The next day, DeRozan, Tony Allen, Reggie Evans, and Matt Barnes also came to report.

Another day later, Banyani also arrived in Toronto.

However, he looked very haggard.

.

"Nani, what happened?"

It has been three months since Rome left, and Li Xing didn't know what happened to him.

"Oh, it's a long story."

Banyani probably wanted to pretend to be melancholy, but unfortunately Li Xing only found the vulgarity in him: "What happened?"

"That's right, I'll condense the story."

“It was a beautiful night.”

“Matilda and I were dating at the Laren Hotel.”

"We had a great time having fun and finally went home together. That night, we ****..."

"He was pregnant in the end!"

Banyani said pitifully: "She is actually pregnant!"

"Really? You're not telling a story, are you?"

DeRozan didn't believe it very much, and Banyani's credit had been overdrawn by him.

.

Banyani looked unhappy: "Do you think I would tell stories with such things? This is a big event for the Banyani family!"

"As the most handsome, tallest and most successful man in the Banyani family ever, I actually got my girlfriend pregnant!"

Evans held the popcorn and asked while eating, "What? If you tell me that you broke up because of this kind of thing, I would despise you."

"Can I." DeRozan walked over to Evans for popcorn.

"How is it possible? I am the man in charge, how could this happen?" Banyani said angrily. "I decided to propose to her!"

"I have invited her to watch the game on the opening day, and I will let her know what I want!"

Banyani said affectionately: "I want to give her a perfect marriage proposal. She will definitely not reject me. She will burst into tears. This will become the best memory between us!"

In addition to this clichéd story, Li Xing also wants to know how he did it? Why did the score drop to 84? This is unscientific!

When we were separated, this guy still scored 85 points, but when we saw him today, he actually scored 84 points.

You know, Li Xing’s special training was so fun before, and he didn’t see a rating drop. How corrupt did this guy live to make his rating drop to 84?

The most unacceptable thing is that after playing last season, he scored 87. Li Xing also felt that he could hit his own upper limit, but he had to start over from the end of the offseason.

How fucking weird is this?

Li Xing didn't know how to inquire about his situation. When he went to Rome last time, he remembered that Banyani had training and didn't know what went wrong, causing the score to drop.

He was not injured and did not show any bad habits within half a month of spending with Li Xing. At most, he loved to drink, which was not a big problem.

Li Xing couldn't understand it, it was an incredible weird flower.

Banyani's teammates looked at him and were not interested in his offseason experience. Everyone practiced their own things and found the feeling of the game.

Perhaps it was because the holiday was too long, and Snyder did not feel the urgency of the season from the players, and many of them were still in the offseason.

The free market also started.

After that, it was revealed that George Sean, the current boss of the New Orleans Hornets, was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. Although the treatment was successful, having such an experience made Sean decide to give up ownership of the team and devote the rest of his life to charity fighting cancer.

Since this spring, Sean has been interested in selling Hornets, but due to the economic downturn, he has never found a suitable buyer.

According to Stern, since there is no confirmed buyer to formally contact the Hornets, in order to ensure the stability of the league and the team, the president proposed to the NBA board of directors that the league will come forward and complete the transfer procedures for the team ownership, and be responsible for the team operation.

The Hornets thus became the first team in NBA history to be owned by the league.

The Hornets are in a turmoil and their future is uncertain, and the wealthy families begin to make their plans.

If a small ball like the Hornets is a good idea, what is the best idea to play? The answer is obvious, that is, their star, Chris Paul.

A reporter revealed that the Lakers are interested in Paul.

The fans were excited.

On December 8, the Lakers, Hornets (now Pelicans) and the Rockets reached a three-way deal: the Lakers got Chris Paul from the Hornets; the Hornets got Lamar Odom from the Lakers, Kevin Martin, Louis Scola, Golan Dragic and a 2012 first-round pick; while the Rockets got Paul Gasol from the Lakers.

This major deal is like a hot meteorite, which quickly crosses the night sky and hits the ground, causing a big explosion.

Lakers fans are the first to express their joy on social media:

"The Lakers will have the strongest backcourt combination"

"Paul will get the championship ring in the Lakers!"

The joy of similar "I am awesome!" "I am the champion!" has not lasted for long, and the league poured a pot of cold water.

Excited Lakers fans fell from heaven to hell in 45 minutes, NBA spokesman Tim Frank issued a statement: "For basketball reasons, the league office refused to pass this deal."

The Lakers, Lakers fans, collectively turned into Nick Young's face of doubt.

Just like Lakers fans were about to hold a grand party outdoors when they encountered a stormy weather. What exactly is "basketball reasons"? The media quickly followed up and quickly confirmed that the news was 100% made by NBA president David Stern. The carnival instantly turned into anger, and tens of thousands of fans pointed the contradiction at Stern.

Paul also had a questioning face.

When the deal was proposed, he called Kobe that day and said they would do something big together.

Kobe was also very excited.

So far in his career, he has not met a true top defender as his partner.

However, fate ruthlessly fiddled with the chess pieces, which gave him a huge blow.

When the reporter asked Kobe why this deal was rejected, the angry little blacksmith in Luocheng said rudely: "I don't know, they said it's not possible, they said it's not possible because of basketball reasons. I don't know what the basketball reasons are. The rules are made by them. If it's not possible, it's not possible."

. Listen to this tone, and persistence was filled with heavy indignation.
