Chapter 117 Determining the Team
The current Yi Jianlian has not experienced that period of disappointment, so he looks forward to the future with a sense of confusion, which is a normal reaction.

Fortunately, he is introverted, which means that he is an honest person. Even though he may disagree in his heart, he still completed the late training requirements with quality and quantity.

Seeing that he was so serious about training, he was late and originally planned to let Yi Jianlian adjust slowly. He approached Yi Jianlian to discuss and suggested that he play in the NCAA for a year, which would be of great benefit to his future.

The level of the NCAA is not low, even higher than the professional leagues in Europe. If he can play at the level here, it will also be of great help to Yi Jianlian's future draft market.

But Yi Jianlian's agent had obviously already done his work, which made him hesitate.

"My agent kept me as secret as possible, which is good for my future drafts." Because he had already been told, Yi Jianlian didn't dare to hide anything in front of his late arrival.

Especially seeing him chatting and laughing with top league stars like James and Wade made him admire being late even more.

Being late immediately made a black face: "Do you think it is better to be selected by other teams early in the draft and then be dismissed as parallel importers, or to be recognized by your own strength and gain a firm foothold in this league? The so-called mystery , But it’s just a shameless little trick, it doesn’t have any meaning to your improvement, only to improve your basketball level, that’s your own thing.”

Yi Jian thought for a while and said, "But I joined a professional team a long time ago, and I can't make it to the NCAA."

"As long as you promise, I will help you with other things."

Yi Jianlian said that he wanted to think about it, but did not immediately agree to the late proposal.

It’s not too much to be late. If Yi Jianlian finally refuses, he will still help Yi Jianlian train and improve according to the established guidelines, but he will not interfere with his choice too much. Let him hit a wall in the league. Recognize yourself early The true level, so as not to be played around by those unreliable agents.

Soon after Yi Jianlian's arrival, Wade's training camp had a few more guys who trained together, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh and others who had a good relationship with Wade, as well as Grant Hill, Steve Nash and Jr. This has a good relationship with being late.

Being late in this league is not for nothing, and I already have a few decent friends.

With the help of being late, Wade and James' three-point shooting ability has improved significantly. They also began to learn the late action, not jumping much when shooting from the outside, and using super fast shooting speed to gain shooting space.

However, it is not that simple to change a person's shooting habits. Even if it is used to hone in the summer, it may not be very rewarding. Players with strong bodies like Wade and James have a strong hand. It will definitely be affected a lot.

Being late also told them the benefits of tiptoe shooting. Anyway, the media has already analyzed that the biggest advantage of tiptoe shooting is that the control of the body is extremely stable. As long as the touch is developed, the three-point shooting rate will not be too bad.

The arrival of Paul also provided a lot of help to Late. Although he will only be a second-year rookie next season, he is skilled at dribbling and taught Late a lot of ball-handling skills—and how to protect the ball.

Most people cannot learn these experiences, and Paul may not be willing to teach them.

Wade's training camp was in full swing. In addition to the professional players who came to train, there were also head coaches or general managers from other teams who came to visit - they all came to win over latecomers. Of course, they could also visit Wade and James by the way. If these two are also willing to change teams, it would be great.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge and Paul Pierce came once, but were rejected outright for being late.

The Spurs Popovich brought Duncan twice, and he was so sincere that he had to say that he was very moved even when he was late.

But the city of San Antonio is a bit special, it's a military base!
So after thinking about it late, I still rejected Popovich's invitation.

The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls have all contacted late to inquire about the situation.

Among them, the Golden State Warriors showed the most sincerity. After being late, Don Nelson came to find him several times.

It's a pity that the Oakland ball market is not big, and the media believes that the Warriors are not very attractive to latecomers.

When the teams were frantically wooing late arrivals, the free market transactions did not stop at all.

Especially the deals of big-name players must be finalized as soon as possible.

Because those teams that are willing to introduce big-name stars must pursue performance. After signing big-name stars, they can go to the free market to recruit other free agents to strengthen the team lineup.

Rockets fans are most concerned about McGrady, and many teams have shown interest in him. On July 7, McGrady’s deal was finally settled. The Detroit Pistons reached a deal with the Rockets. They sent point guard, former FMVP Billup In addition to the 9 second-round pick, the Rockets' swingman Tracy McGrady and this year's No. 2007 pick Kyle Lowry, power forward Swift Special and an unprotected 24 first-round pick.

The signing of this deal represents that the Detroit Pistons have entered into reconstruction, and Tracy McGrady will become the core of their future.

The Rockets made a lot of money in this transaction. Billups is a low-key person, so he is seriously underestimated. He has excellent passing ability and can shoot three-pointers from the outside. He can become a good partner with Yao Ming. The most important thing is It's his low salary!

Prince has a strong defensive ability and can be a safe gate for the Rockets. The most important thing is that his salary is low!

Although Kyle Lowry was sent, they got rid of Swift's rubbish contract, and Lowry is only the 24th pick, whether it can be played is still a question mark.

But McGrady is actually not very satisfied with this deal, he would rather go to New York.

New York also wants to get McGrady, they are willing to send Stephon Marbury, former Rockets star Steve - Francis or former dunk king Quentin Richardson.

This is currently the most valuable bargaining chip in the New York team, but the Rockets look down on these people, thinking that their wages are too high, and finally chose to reach a deal with the Detroit Pistons.

Marbury was known as the son of New York, but now he has become the most hated object of New York fans.

After Francis left the Rockets, his strength declined significantly, and it is estimated that he will disappear from this league in a short time.

But McGrady did not go to New York, in fact, is not necessarily a bad thing.

The current general manager and head coach of New York is the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas. During his tenure as manager, the New York Knicks were the darkest period.

After McGrady was traded out, the salaries of Prince and Billups were not high, which gave the Rockets enough room to reach a contract extension with Late, and then sign first and then change.

If you are late, you must consider the team you want to join as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no valuable players left in the free market.

The conclusion of McGrady's deal was like blowing the horn of an arms race. On July 7, Wade reached a contract extension with the Heat. The contract was 12+3, with a total amount of 1 million US dollars, and the last year was a player option.

This signing is very cost-effective. Just looking at Wade's performance in this year's finals, it is completely worth a maximum salary, but Wade's contract is still a little short of the maximum salary.

After Wade signed, James immediately renewed his contract with the Cavaliers on the second day. His contract is also 3+1, with a total amount of 6000 million US dollars, ranking around 20 in the league, and the last year is also a player option.

The two largest Sharks in the free market have buyers, and other teams immediately stepped up their efforts to contact late, and at the same time began to prepare for the second plan.

Late for a while, the small villa rented in Miami was full of people, and at most it even received visitors from three teams a day.

Among them, Don Nelson came the most frequently. He had already booked a room in a five-star hotel in Miami, and planned to fight a protracted war against being late.

Oakland has no advantage in the competition with other teams, and there are no particularly powerful stars in the team, especially the late signing with the Rockets, which will inevitably lead to some players being picked away by the Rockets.

On July 7, Mike James, the most eye-catching point guard in the free market, also found his next home. He rejected the Rockets' contract and chose the Timberwolves.

Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets reached an extension, the contract is $8000 million over five years.

At the same time, there are also reports from reporters that the Bulls have reached a verbal agreement with free agent Ben Wallace, and they will wait for the announcement.

There is not much time left for late consideration, and his range of options is getting smaller and smaller. The media pays more attention to which team he will choose to join and how big his contract will be.

On July 7, the Chicago Bulls unexpectedly announced the signing of the four-time best defensive player Ben Wallace. The contract amount was not disclosed, but a reporter broke the news that the contract lasted for four years, with a total value of 14 million US dollars.

It also announced that Chicago had withdrawn from the ranks of the latecomers, and they couldn't afford to wait.

On July 7, Chris Bosh, another big fish in the 15 Super Platinum class, also announced that he had reached a contract extension with the team. The contract is the same as James and Wade, and it is also 03+3!This makes people have to wonder whether the three people have already discussed it.

On the same day, the Bulls and Hornets deal was confirmed, Tyson Chandler was traded to the Hornets, PJ Brown and JR Smith became Bulls players.

In the past few days, Don Nelson has been late for visits every day, and he has even become familiar with Tian Ying enough to joke about. Tian Ying's pet Erha "Brother Dao" stopped barking when he saw Old Nelson.

I was moved by Don Nelson's sincerity, and after being late and carefully compared, I found that there were not many teams to choose from. I finally verbally agreed to join the Golden State Warriors. The next step is to see how the Warriors trade with the Rockets.

After getting a late positive answer, Don Nelson jumped up and down excitedly like a child, and immediately contacted the team to negotiate a deal with the Rockets.
