1266. Wolf Kings Journey East

Once upon a time, James dreamed of having a center like Kwame Brown next to Liu Mang, and now he has one!

He also wanted a pitcher like Ray Allen, and now he has one!

Although he is very reluctant to leave his senior Big Z who has always taken care of him, but that is Chandler! This kind of center with excellent physical fitness, solid pick-and-roll, excellent defense and strong defense is perfect for James.

It's true that James needs shooters, but this kind of rebounding maniac and a center who can protect the frame and help defend and even have the mobility and awareness to defend from the outside... His individual defense and finishing ability are not as good as Kwame Brown's, and his counterattack ability is not as good as Kwame Brown's.

Mae Brown's rebounding is also a bit worse...but Chandler has his own advantages!

Being able to let the Bulls give up Eddie Curry proves the talent Chandler has shown.

After the big summer moves of the NBA's three most powerful teams ended, other teams finally took action against the Kings and Pistons, two teams that were once famous at the beginning of the century.

After all, the Pistons still did not renew Ben Wallace's contract. Ben Wallace's asking price was too high.

The Bulls have taken action. The Bulls are now really popular in the eyes of superstars who want to join. They have a star group comparable to the Mavericks, but most of them are on rookie contracts and have a lot of salary space. They just haven't arrived yet.

Super giant players, they can't let go of those young players.

But they can use the space to eat Ben Wallace alive!

Maximum salary!

51.6 million in three years. The Bulls gave him a three-year maximum salary. Ben Wallace immediately accepted the Bulls' invitation. He only earned 30 million after playing for 10 years in his career. This three-year contract is enough for him.

Satisfied, the four-year contract offered by the Pistons was only 30 million.

However, with Ben Wallace, Chandler seemed redundant and took up space. Chandler's six-year, 60 million contract hindered the Bulls' opportunity to introduce another superstar. At this time, the Cavaliers took action in time and used big money to

Z's relatively cheap contract, plus a 2007 first-round pick and a 2008 second-round pick, were traded from the Bulls to Chandler.

Originally, the Bulls were looking for an opportunity to send Chandler out. They could free up 4 million in free space, so they sent Chandler out.

To have talent is to be willful...

Ben Wallace left the Pistons, which represented the end of an era for the Pistons. However, the Pistons did not rush to dismantle the lineup and rebuild around Bosh as people expected. They did not rush. For them, Bosh had a good

My teammates are also very important. The chips given by other teams are too poor.

After acquiring Chandler, the Cavaliers gained the confidence to operate in the free market and tried to apply for a trade from the Kings...

The conflict in the Kings locker room caused by Peja last year made some championship teams who were trying to strengthen not dare to try easily. In the original time and space, it was the Hornets who had nothing to gain, and they almost took Chandler and Peja for nothing. However,

That was delayed until almost September. The Hornets only dared to try it when they had no trading chips. The Cavaliers were pressed hard by James. They were afraid that James would be unhappy. After all, they only signed a 3+1 contract, so they went tentatively.

I approached the Bulls for a trade, and it worked, and then I immediately extended my tentacles to the Kings, and it actually worked!

The Cavaliers sent a 2009 first-round pick and three second-round picks to the Kings to get Peja's five-year, $60 million contract from the Kings, which he renewed early in 2004. When the contract came into effect this year, he couldn't leave.

Although the contract is a bit bigger, Peja's career honors are only a second team and three All-Star substitutes, but the Cavaliers are already very satisfied. Under normal circumstances, there are no such stars willing to join. Last year, Larry Hughes was poached.

It took 5 years to get the maximum salary.



"Little Zhanzhan is very lucky..." Peja and Liu Mang are also drooling. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. For a pitcher worth 12 million a year, it is better to use Korver. Peja is just like a pair of Aces.

I'm sorry!

Chandler and James also work well together. One likes to find pick-and-rolls, and the other is good at pick-and-rolls and is willing to do the dirty work.

"It will be fun to play against Xiao Zhanzhan next season..." Liu Mang was quite excited.

Ben Wallace still went to the Bulls. In the shadow of a famous tree, Ben Wallace's fame is still there. Liu Mang's evaluation of this contract...the pension contract...the sky-high pension contract.

Liu Mang didn't pay much attention to this. He watched the news, complained to Yao Ming, and continued to invest in recovery training. Apart from performing dunks and shooting during activities for more than a month, he didn't touch much basketball. He mainly played basketball for three consecutive years.

A little bit of mental fatigue after the finals.

That kind of psychological thing, Liu Mang also knows that he shouldn't feel slack, but there is no way. Not only Liu Mang knows that he shouldn't feel slack, any superstar who wins the championship knows that he can't feel slack in the second year.

But... why is it so difficult to defend the title?

Some things cannot be done just by knowing them. Liu Mang spent a month not touching basketball and gradually regained his feeling. This was mainly due to the World Championships. There are many stars in the NBA. In the second year after playing in the World Championships, Liu Mang

The reason why I am in such good shape is because I have found new motivation from the national team.

Make yourself stronger and let the national team go further!



Time passed day by day, and Liu Mang had almost completed his recovery training in a few days. It was less than a month and a half after he won the championship and returned to the national team to relax. He had not even grown any fat on his belly yet, so he returned to training.

, by August 5th, Liu Mang felt that his condition was already excellent.

The World Championships begins on August 19th, with just two weeks left. Next, the Chinese team will begin team training and tactical adjustments.

The purpose of the Chinese Blues Association not to change the head coach is to complete the running-in faster, and it is difficult to find a better candidate than Harris. Eight or nine members of the national team were members of the last Olympic Games, so Liu Mang was

The tactics developed with Yao Ming are progressing quickly.



When the national basketball teams from all over the world are in full swing preparing for the World Championships, basketball fans should pay attention to the national teams of popular countries. The NBA is also paying attention to the trading market that continues to be hot. Tired!

They were waiting to see what kind of joke the Timberwolves would make.

Garnett failed to go to the Hawks and had already broken up with McHale. Not agreeing to such a bargaining chip would be hindering his future!

This time, even the fans of the Timberwolves hope that Garnett will leave. If they have the potential, they will not let Garnett leave.

Finally, on August 10th, Garnett's trade was finally completed!

The Bulls sent Ben Gordon, Michael Swetney, P.J. Brown and Tyrus Thomas, the Bulls' newly drafted No. 4 pick, as well as the Bulls' own two first-round draft picks in 2007 and 2009.
Chapter completed!
