Healing Basketball

Chapter 894 894. Then Make Another One

In the next few days, everyone's attention was focused on Pierce, the Bulls, and the Celtics.

Pierce refused to renew his contract with the Celtics and joined the Bulls, using a sign-and-trade approach.

The Celtics couldn't say no because the Bulls could get around them to clear space.

At present, the Bulls have high salaries, only the three big insiders, Garnett, PJ-Brown, Chandler, Ben Gordon is still on a rookie contract, Hinrich's rookie contract has just ended and the new contract has not yet officially taken effect, so the space occupied is not enough. big.

After a few days of pulling, the dust of the transaction was settled. On July 7, Pierce officially joined the Bulls.

The Bulls sent Ben Gordon, PJ Brown, and Tyson Chandler in exchange for Pierce and Okur.

The Jazz sent Okur for Chandler of the Bulls and Szczerbiak of the Celtics.

The Celtics sent Pierce and Szczerbiak for Ben Gordon and PJ Brown.

After the details of the transaction were announced, the Celtics were rated bloody.

However, public opinion generally believes that the Celtics have tried their best to stop losses. In addition to exchanging the 24-year-old Ben Gordon, they also got rid of Szczerbiak's bad contract.

After being traded back by the Celtics and signing a big contract, Szczerbiak collapsed directly. He only played 32 games last season, averaging 15 points and 3 rebounds per game. With an annual salary of tens of millions, his appearance is getting worse and worse the trend of.

The Jazz win -- want to scratch an old lottery ticket.

Chandler is only 24 years old now, and many people still have expectations for him.

Also, Okur is not suitable for Paul, and Chandler, who has outstanding athletic ability, is more suitable for Paul.

The Bulls were rated blood earning!
Not to mention sending Ben Gordon and Chandler, even if everyone except Hinrich and Garnett were exchanged for Pierce, it would be blood money.

After getting Pierce, the Bulls became the biggest favorite in public opinion.

Some people are happy and some are worried. The Bulls have become the number one favorite to win the championship. The Pistons, the number one favorite to win last season, are now in trouble.

Carter, whose contract will expire after the 07-08 season, failed to negotiate a contract extension with the Pistons, which aroused concerns among fans of the Bad Boys.

Webber left the Pistons and joined the Bulls, and the veterans were not optimistic about them.

The New Bad Boys Corps has been established for two years and has not won the championship for two years. It has a tendency to follow in the footsteps of the Nets.

As for the Nets, the 'Strongest Peripheral Combination' really collapsed after three years of formation!
After Pierce officially joined the Bulls, McGrady also publicly stated that he had notified the Nets that he would not renew his contract.

According to Yahoo Sports columnist Wojn Navorski, the Bulls initially targeted McGrady, but Hinrich and Garnett were skeptical about McGrady's character and temper... If there is no more ideal choice, they will accept it McGrady was a teammate, but Pierce, who was more suitable and ideal, offered to join. The two chose Pierce instead of McGrady.

After this news was exposed, it triggered a scolding battle between McGrady and Garnett fans...

...

The Bulls, the Pistons, the Nets... were all very lively.

On the side of the dynasty team, the Trail Blazers, it seemed extraordinarily calm.

Without the favor of veterans, without the ability to send players to join, it is like a salted fish...

On July 7, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway brought professionals to the rented training hall to check safety issues.

The inspection was left to a professional person, and the young couple watched the seaside scenery and chatted.

"Annie, you ran out secretly, aren't you afraid that your mother will tell you?"

"I want to come out and take a look. I lie down every day, and I think I'm paralyzed."

"Confinement, it's like this, people can't touch the water to bathe and wash their hair, and you can also wipe your body with a hot towel every day, not bad..."

On June 6th, for the sake of insurance, Liu Xiu's family arrived in Los Angeles on the "Rose Bay Prison". Anne-Hathaway and her aunt booked a ward at the Southern California Fertility Clinic in Beverly Hills.

On the 7th, Liu Xiu's second daughter was born. This time, Anne Hathaway, who is quite proficient in Chinese, named her... Liu Anni, and took the Chinese transliteration of her English name as her daughter's The name is one of the more common directions for the people of the United States to take their names.

Originally, Liu Xiu's father wanted to object to this name.

But when he heard that his son's name was Liu Qiqi, the reason was that he was born on July 07, 7... His father immediately agreed with the name his daughter-in-law chose.

Annie, what a nice name.

The English name is Sophia, which is also a relatively common American girl's name, which means the embodiment of wisdom. I hope my second daughter is smart.

Little Anna is not stupid, but she is not as stupid as Little Jay Chou. The former is always played around by the latter.

Thanks to little Anna's good health, she was able to run around the yard when she was two years old, only cried when she fell, and felt the pain when no one fell.

Since arriving in Los Angeles, Liu Xiu, except for making an appointment for a meal at a restaurant in Los Angeles and calling the veteran who the team wanted to keep, did not take care of the team's affairs. Postpartum Anne - Hathaway turned 20 days.

Until last night, Bill Duffy informed that the rented training hall has been remodeled and the holiday villa has been arranged properly, and it can be used after passing the safety inspection. Liu Xiucai is preparing for summer training.

It has been a month since the finals ended, and it's time to start working.

However, when I came for the security check today, Anne Hathaway, who was in confinement, secretly followed her out.

Anne-Hathaway's complexion suddenly turned bitter when she heard "confinement", "God, I'm still looking forward to confinement for two months, to enjoy everything I didn't enjoy, I didn't expect confinement to be so boring , go on like this."

Liu Xiu comforted her, "I heard from Caroline that if the confinement sits well, it's as if the body has been reborn, and some gynecological diseases can be eliminated."

"I know that too, but I didn't expect confinement to be so boring. Does every Chinese woman have to confine herself after giving birth?"

"Well... if conditions permit, I can do it, but Chinese people and Americans have different physiques. If you don't want to continue confinement, then don't do it for now. Anyway, you have been sitting for a few days."

"Yeah!" Anne-Hathaway nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Think about it, the opportunity to confine yourself to confinement is rare, and the whole family takes care of you. There is no such shop after this village." Liu Xiu joked.

"It's okay! I'll have another one when I want to confine myself!"

"..." Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment, patted her belly, and said, "It's fine if you don't continue confinement..."

Anne Hathaway looked at Liu Xiu's rounded chin after two weeks of confinement, covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

...

The training hall has passed the inspection and can be used with confidence.

After checking the arena, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway went shopping together for a while, but they didn't buy anything. They chatted while walking. It's been a long time since they were pregnant with their second child.

Liu Xiu is about to start work, and training is also a part of the job, and the content of the chat naturally mentioned NBA-related matters.

"My Congressman Jess, the Bulls brought in Pierce, but we lost Shareef, what should we do next at the small forward position?"

"It's okay, we have also introduced Hill."
