Chapter 251

On July 7, Channing Frye officially signed with the Suns.

The specific details of the contract have not been announced, but a reporter from Yahoo Sports broke the news that the contract between the two parties is a short three-year contract with a total value of about 300 million US dollars.

The appearance of this message disappointed many Timberwolves fans.Channing Frye's performance in this year's finals was impressive. In the second-tier games, he always contributed excellent three-pointers. His deterrence on the court forced his opponents to open up space.In Minnesota, Channing Frye still has a certain fan base. His departure is the first bad news fans have heard since this summer.

Zheng Ke expressed regret for Channing Frye's departure, but there is no way. This is the NBA. Not everyone hopes that they can win the championship forever. For more people, once they win the championship, their own business Development and future are clearly more important.The starting position promised by the Suns to Channing Frye is not guaranteed by the Timberwolves, and it is reasonable for Channing Frye to leave.

Simply, on the fourth day after Channing Frye and the Suns finalized the contract, the Timberwolves successfully renewed the contract with "Birdman" Anderson.

Chris Anderson, who was born in 1978, has reached the age of 31 this year. As the main lineup of the Timberwolves winning the championship last season, he averaged 29.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.7 blocks in 2.7 minutes per game during the regular season.In the playoffs, he often contributes exciting hats and mobilizes the morale of the Timberwolves team when the game is anxious. He is really a rare champion.

This time, McHale did not treat the Birdman badly, and completely tied him to the Timberwolves' chariot with a four-year 4 million contract.

During the contract negotiations, McHale made it clear to Anderson that in view of Anderson's rising age, the playing time will obviously be further reduced. Regarding the starting issue, everything is arranged by the head coach Whitman. He will play according to the actual situation. Out of Anderson's greatest energy.

In other words, if the team finds a qualified and outstanding starting center, Anderson may play as a backup center.

If these words came out, the reporters would think McHale was crazy, and they probably thought Anderson was crazy too.After all, it's crazy to sign a backup center with $525 million, and it's also crazy that a championship center who is playing in his prime becomes a backup.

But Zheng Ke knew that this was not crazy.During last season's games, Anderson was often troubled by fouls, physical troubles, etc., and was unable to achieve the expected results before the game.He played as a substitute, but he can better display his vitality, which is a good thing for him and the team.

At the same time, the much-anticipated battle for the beast finally came to an end with Artest's final decision.

The Lakers became the final winners.

There are different opinions about this matter.Some people say that the Rockets signed Lakers free agent Ariza hurt Artest's heart; some people say that Phil Jackson went to Houston to persuade Artest to defect to Angel City; Artest, a singer, has long longed for the star-studded Hollywood.

Artest rejected the 900 million annual salary offered by the Rockets and chose to sign a 5-year 3395 million contract with the Lakers, which made it difficult for many people to understand.

As a player, what Zheng Ke and the others did not understand was why Artest refused a big contract that was obviously much more favorable.As a manager, many people laughed at Kupchak's lack of brains. The 30-year-old Artest signed a five-year contract, and the last year is still a player option. It will definitely become the most difficult problem for the Lakers.

The reason why the Lakers, Spurs, and Rockets are looking for high-quality small forwards all over the world is obvious.

As the 21-year-old finals MVP, Zheng Ke's growth rate is terrifying. He has already shown super strength, and no one knows how far he will grow in the future.In order to deal with him, hoarding high-quality small forwards in the team is a must. Everyone understands this.

Therefore, the reporters wanted to ask Zheng Ke for his opinion. At this time, they suddenly discovered that Zheng Ke had disappeared!

Zheng Ke secretly traveled to Europe in a low-key manner. The reporters didn't notice for a while, and lost the trace of Zheng Ke's actions. When they realized it now, they didn't know where Zheng Ke had gone. Out of Zheng Ke.However, in the golden tourist season like July, there are handsome men and women wearing sunglasses everywhere. It is not so difficult to find Zheng Ke.

On the 18th, the official announcement of the Clippers and Grizzlies trade news.

In this deal, Randolph and Richardson swap clubs.The Clippers traded away Randolph, in addition to making way for the No. 28 pick Griffin, they also hoped to clean up the team's messy interior.From the perspective of the Clippers, the young and talented Griffin will become one of the best power forwards in the league in the future. Although the [-]-year-old Randolph is still in his prime, he has a drug-related experience. Not sure how long his career really is.This was a correct move, but it allowed the black and white bears to return to their positions, creating the strongest bone in the West in the future.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the shackles of fate seem to have been doomed for a long time.

Zheng Ke lamented the great inertia of history, wondering if he was a butterfly or a hurricane?Some people's fate is intertwined with him and has changed, while some people are still the same, moving forward according to a specific track.

In July, the NBA's summer league also officially kicked off. The Timberwolves signed up for the summer league in Las Vegas. Many rookies in the team, including Ty Lawson, participated in the league. Er and others, plus some players from the Development League, also went together.

Zheng Ke is a third-year player, and actually meets the conditions to participate, but now the experience provided by a level game like the Summer League is too little, which makes him uninterested, so he might as well train himself.

At the end of July, several free agents including Nash and Odom finalized their contracts.

Nash stayed at Sun City with a two-year, 2 million contract.

Odom stayed with the Lakers with a four-year contract of 4 million. This is a low-priced contract, which is lower than the media's average annual price of at least 3280 million for Odom. The most deceitful thing is that the last one This year is still a team option. This summer, Odom was completely mistreated by the Bass family. Not only did he fail to get the ideal big contract, but he also ruined his reputation. The final compromise also made the outside world evaluate him again. decline.

Chandler, who was plagued by injuries, finally left the Hornets. The Bobcats traded Mason Okafor for the titan, and the Hornets who got Okafor revealed a message to the league. Fighting for another year in the highly competitive West next year, and the meaning of the Hornets picking top wing defender Gerald Henderson in the draft seems to reveal something.

In August, Zheng Ke and Taylor returned to the United States.

The Blazers made a high-profile announcement that they signed a five-year, 5 million contract with head star Brandon Roy, which is a gratifying thing.For a long time, as the representative of the two strongest young guards in the West, Roy’s evaluation is almost the same as that of Zheng Ke. His signing means that the Blazers have retained their core players, which ensures that the Blazers will continue to play next season. Still a strong team in the West.

After Zheng Ke heard the news, he immediately sent a blessing message to Roy. Although the two were fighting each other on the court, they had a good relationship off the court.

There are still two months before the start of the new season. Zheng Ke hopes that he can maintain his state, or practice some difficult stunts.

He gets up early every morning and trains his sense of the ball on the open-air basketball court in the back garden of his home, but he has never had any good inspiration.

"Hey, honey, I don't think you're doing any good practicing this way."

On a sunny afternoon, Taylor, who was lying on the lawn doing yoga, finally couldn't help expressing her opinion, "It seems that you have been going around and around there a few days ago."

Zheng Ke stopped dribbling the ball under his crotch. He clamped the basketball around his waist, looked at Taylor, and said with a smile, "Then how do you think I should train? Do you do yoga like you?"

"Why not?" Taylor was as soft as a snake spirit, performing all kinds of writhing on the lawn.

Zheng Ke watched for a while, but remained silent.

After a while, he laughed and said, "You've seen Duncan do yoga, you've seen Kobe do yoga, Tracy McGrady do yoga, but have you seen O'Neal do yoga, James do yoga?"

"What do you mean?" Taylor asked a little confused.

"It's very simple," Zheng Ke threw the ball away: "In the field of small forwards, my strength is already invincible. I don't need to practice these things at all. I'd better buy a set of strength training equipment and come back and practice more. The strength and the muscles in the waist and abdomen are better."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Ke smiled, picked up the towel on the table, and walked into the house.
