Chapter 80 Anecdotes about the off-season (ask for collection, ask for tickets)

Not long after the NBA officially announced the suspension, Shaquille O'Neal issued a retirement statement on Twitter.

Another super center in the league, the little giant Yao from the East, officially announced his retirement on July 7. This news caused a sensation in the basketball world.

His teammates in Houston, Francis, Uncle Mu, McGrady and others, as well as Shaquille O'Neal, expressed their sincere wishes to Dayao on social media.

The team's coaching staff, management, and the official website of the Houston team released a video to pay tribute to Yao.

The fans spontaneously organized activities to pay tribute to Dayao, and recalled every detail of Dayao in the arena, from the youthfulness of Dayao's first appearance on the arena, to becoming the core of Houston, and then to his sad exit due to injuries, the fans burst into tears .

Hearing the news of Dayao's retirement, Li Yu was overwhelmed with emotion. The moments he knew about Dayao on the field flashed before his eyes one by one, Barkley's bet, Shark's contempt, teaching Warcraft to be a man, anger Dirty Kaman, played against the US men's basketball team in 08. The corner of his eye was opened and he insisted on playing. The king returned with a knee injury and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the legend of Chinese basketball.

The youth of a generation, the pride of a generation, bid farewell to the arena.

...

Afterwards, during the long off-season, Li Yu lived a two-point and one-line life, commuting between Los Angeles and Durham.

On the first five days of each week, I teamed up with Irving to find basketball bigwigs to play games, and on weekends, I went to Los Angeles to play singles with Emma Roberts, and learned how to be an actor by the way.

Because the sneaker contract cannot be fulfilled for the time being, he had to accept more commercial endorsements just to eat. If he has acting skills when shooting small commercials, the management will ask him to shoot next time if they are satisfied.

He wants to take advantage of this season to shoot more advertisements and save some money. When he reports to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the new season, he can't still rent a house, right?
Moreover, Little Radish is rather shy and doesn't like to play heads-up on public courts, so she must buy a big house with a private court early.

The time moved forward to September, and the filming of Xiaoluosi's film was finished, so she flew to Durham and moved directly into Li Yu's rented house.

Owen had no choice but to move out and find another house to live in. It is worth mentioning that he was very dissatisfied when he saw Little Radish for the first time.

Can this figure be called hot?Li, I'm afraid I haven't seen a real woman.

He secretly suggested to Li Yu to find a chance to break up quickly, and then he would introduce some real beauties.

Li Yu sternly rejected his kindness. Wenzi's aesthetics is the same as the brain circuit, with dark skin, curly hair and oversized TUN. I don't agree with it.

Since the arrival of shredded radish, Li Yu's daily life has been very fulfilling.

Participate in competitions during the day to hone their skills, and practice ball control privately at night.

He feels that through this off-season exercise, his physical fitness has been greatly improved.

Just finished the one-on-one match with Little Radish Shreds, and I can still play another four or 10-minute ball game. It's a full game, and I'm no longer that five-point man.

The time passed day by day like this, and before I knew it, it was the middle and late November.

2011 11 Month 26 Day.

The players union and management representatives fought again for 15 hours and finally reached an agreement.

The NBA's 149-day lockout has come to an end.

Hearing this news, whether it is a veteran who has been in the league for many years or a rookie who has just started, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If the lockout does not end, I am afraid that some people who spend a lot of money can directly declare bankruptcy.

After all, not everyone is like Li Yu, who is good at playing and handsome, and can accept commercial endorsements to make a living.

Most of the players in the league are rough guys who have nothing to do except play, and they don't know how to manage money. There are too many examples of going bankrupt right after retiring.

After the NBA officially announced the end of the lockout, two things dominated the headlines. One was that some players who went overseas to make money would not be able to return to the NBA next season due to contract disputes with their new teams.

The second is that ESPN expert Boulder revealed that the management of the Los Angeles Lakers is plotting to form a new Big Three.

It is reported that the Lakers will exchange Gasol for Howard and Bynum for Paul.

The first center Warcraft Howard, the super point guard Bee King Paul, and the man who is close to God, Black Mamba Kobe, the super big three composed of these three are more powerful and balanced than the Big Three of the Heat, and will become the strongest combination in the league .

When this news came out, the basketball world was shocked. Will the NBA enter an era of two-strong contending for supremacy?
How many teams want to make a difference next season, they can't afford it.LeBron and Wade team up, at least because of the possession of the ball, there will be running-in problems, but Paul and Kobe are seamlessly connected, a leader in assists, a leader in scoring, and an inside monster. How do other teams play?
Two super point guards in their prime, teaming up with a super center, this is absolutely not acceptable, it will affect the balance of the league.

Oh, damn it, the Heat have set a precedent for teaming up at the peak!
In addition to the owners of the Lakers, the owners of many teams, especially those in the Western Conference playoffs, are secretly "discussing" solutions with David Stern.

But all of this has nothing to do with the Timberwolves. Although President of Operations David Kahn has repeatedly emphasized that their goal for next season is the championship, the management of other teams, players in the league, and Wolves fans , including Kahn himself, all know it well.

It is a joke for the Wolves to win the championship next season. A super bad team that only won 32 games in two seasons can lie down for another season and compete for the top pick.You can also lie down to the end, hoard a lot of talents, and wait for them to grow up before fighting.

It's just that the Wolves' draft vision has always been poor, and the rookies selected over the years are only KG.

Then use the KG bill to exchange for a handful of change and two draft picks, and since then he has been on the road to failure.

To say that the draft operation of the Wolves is really brilliant, it can only be described as hot eyes, the first time: the 96 golden generation, in this year when any star can be selected by random selection, the Wolves selected Ray A with the 5th pick Lun traded for Marbury, the No. 4 pick. Let's not mention the exchange of picks this time. It's just a rookie behind the No. 5 pick. There are many stars who will surprise the league in the future, and even a superstar.

No. 6 Fat Toutuo Anthony Walker, No. 13 Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, No. 15 Wind Son Nash, No. 17 Jermaine O'Neal, and No. 24 Veteran Fisher.

The second time: Szczerbiak was selected with the No. 99 pick in 6. This person is not very good, but compared with the latter few, he is not very good.

The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th picks are: Hamilton, Andre Miller, Marion, Jason Terry.

The third time: 03 Platinum Generation. This year is comparable to the 96 draft year. Among the top picks are the Heat's Big Three + Melon Anthony.

And the Wolves deserved to be the team that opened the "eyes of the sky". They selected Endi Ibi with the 26th overall pick. This guy was as famous as LeBron in his glory days, but he only played a few 10 minutes in the NBA. 27 is Er Fat Perkins, 28 Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, 29 Ugly County Mayosh Howard.

It can be said that the Wolves' "draft" vision dares to be second, and no one dares to be first.

Li Yu, a talented guard from Duke this year, was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The management of other teams agreed that the No. [-] No. [-] pick must have a water law, and this year most of the No. [-] picks will be fulfilled.
