Chapter 359
The NBA Finals ended at the end of June.
The NBA Draft just ended.
The rookies who participated in the draft were selected by various NBA teams, and they were full of hope for the arrival of the new season.
After the draft, there is an important free agent market for the NBA.
This summer's free agency market is arguably the most for a star player in NBA history.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Stoudemire, Novitsky, Joe Johnson and other big names all became free agents this summer.
Undoubtedly, these players' decisions have the potential to change the landscape of the NBA league.
In addition to these superstars, there are All-Star-level players such as Boozer, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rudy Gay, O'Neal David Lee Jr. and more.
It can be said that this free agent market can be called the "craziest trade market" in the nearly 35 years of NBA history.
As one of the league's top stars, James' whereabouts touch the hearts of all fans.
There are rumors that he will stay with the Cavaliers, there are rumors that he will join the Knicks, and there are even rumors that he will join the Rockets....
All kinds of rumors are flying all over the world, and there are many opinions.
James also maintained the expectations of netizens for him, and has not publicly stated where he will choose.
After the free agency market opened, he chose silence, as if this summer had nothing to do with him.
Since the opening of the free agent market on July 1.
Signing news is reported every day.
Rudy Gay signed a contract extension to stay with the Grizzlies; Novitsky stayed with the Dallas Mavericks for 4 years and 80 million; The Thunder renewed Durant with a maximum salary in advance, offering him a 5-year contract of 85 million; Pierce stayed with the Celtics for 4 years and 60 million; "Singles King" Joe Johnson stays with the Hawks at top salary; Ray Allen stayed with the Celtics for 2 years and 20 million.
News of all kinds of signings is constantly emerging, and the most surprising is the movement of superstar Stoudemire.
On July 6, the Knicks officially announced that they would sign Stoudemire with a five-year $100 million maximum salary contract.
As a result, Stoudemire left his old club the Suns, where he played for nearly a decade, and traveled east to the Knicks.
Then, another All-Star in the West, Boozer, signed a five-year, $80 million maximum salary contract agreement with the Bulls and left the Jazz.
Until July 7, the three big-name stars of James, Wade and Bosh still had no intention of signing, which made all the media speculate about the whereabouts of the three.
At the same time, teams such as the Clippers and Knicks are also waiting for James to make a decision.
......
Miami.
Heat president Riley and Wade, the team's number one superstar, are on their way to a five-star hotel.
"President, I have discussed with James the possibility of joining forces before, maybe in Cleveland or in Miami."
"But now that I've decided to stay in Miami, it's up to you to convince James."
Wade puffed out his big cheeks and said, also full of anticipation and excitement.
He has convinced Bosh to join the Heat, and now James is missing.
As long as James nods, the Heat will form an unprecedented super triumvirate, which will easily dominate the league and complete the great cause of three consecutive championships or even four consecutive championships.
It's exciting to think about!
Soon.
The two came to the hotel and found James.
James sat on the couch, like a reigning emperor, waiting for Riley to tell him about the plan he had made to recruit him, and how the players would operate afterwards.
However, Riley didn't say a word, took out 5 championship rings from his pocket and put them in front of James.
5 championship rings in different shapes sparkle in the sun.
There are championship rings he got as a player, as well as championship rings when he was a coach.
James's eyes flashed with the light of the championship ring, and he froze directly, and his face showed an envious expression.
"Oh, I have 8 championship rings, but I came in a hurry, so I only brought 5 championship rings."
"Want to get as many championship rings as I do? Come to the Heat! Wade stays with the Heat, Bosh chooses to join the Heat, and if you come, we will form the most competitive team in NBA history!
Pat Riley said with a smile, his voice full of indescribable charm.
As a well-known speaker in the United States, Riley is too good at controlling the rhythm of speech and bringing the emotions of the listener.
James was stunned as he listened.
Is it so simple, straightforward, and crude?
This is much simpler than the Knicks' recruiting speech, but it is much more effective.
Don't say what combination, what market, what king of New York.
It's all.
He just wants the championship!!
And Riley's mere pulling out these championship rings and putting them on the table had tugged at his heartstrings.
At this time, Wade also silently took out the championship ring he won in 06 and put it on the table.
Then, grin.
For this commotion operation, Riley directly ignored it.
James stared at the ring again and again.
"To be honest, I'm already inclined to join the Heat, but is the contract that the Heat have the ability to eat the contract of the three of us?"
James asked with some curiosity.
"Of course not, so this requires you to take a unified salary cut, and I think it's nothing to earn less money for the championship."
"This is the best opportunity! Look at the current situation of the alliance!
"Although the Lakers won the championship, they have begun to show their old age, and this summer's free agent market has not been gained, and its strength has not increased!"
"Although the Celtics have renewed the contract of Pierce and Ray Allen and retained the championship team, we all know that they are out of the first rank of competition for the championship."
"After Qin Feng's retirement, the Thunder have been reduced to the fringes of the playoffs, and although Durant and Wilson have been growing, they are not a threat to us."
"So when we form the Big Three, we have a chance to win the championship in the new season! And it is not impossible to create a dynasty.
Riley said, and by the end his tone became agitated, as if the Heat had won three consecutive championships.
James listened to his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and his emotions became more and more excited, and he immediately slapped his thighs and laughed loudly: "Good! I chose to join the Heat and make a world with my good brothers!
Hearing this, Riley and Wade both laughed.
James's smile is also getting bigger and bigger.
After being suppressed by Qin Feng for one season last season, the NBA has experienced another turbulent season after Qin Feng's retirement, and it is time for the new season to rectify the chaos.
He led the Heat to rule this league, eliminate Qin Feng's influence in this league, and let the NBA come out of the sluggish market and go to glory again!
This is the epoch-making superstar who was given the nickname "Little Emperor", and the great career that should be accomplished by Jordan's superstar!!
"Tomorrow, I'll make this announcement on ESPN's TV show."
James said excitedly.
Riley responded with a smile:
"Qin Feng has retired, the stars are standing, and you are undoubtedly a superstar leading the NBA league forward!" I believe that your decision will trigger a madness among basketball fans around the world, and it will also be the biggest news in the trading market this summer!
"That's your unparalleled influence."
.......
In Kyoto, Huaxia, at the door of the Qin Feng Training Hall, there stood a chubby old man with round white hair, it was NBA League President David Stern.
He was dressed in a suit and wore a pair of glasses with a black rim, making him polite and approachable.
"President, are we really going to come to Qin Feng?"
"The alliance has been asking Qin Feng to come back before, but they have all been rejected!"
A tall thin young man standing behind him said with a frown.
Stern did not speak, but sighed with emotion: "The last time I stood at the gate, I still talked to Huaxia CT5 Channel about cooperative broadcasting, and it has been almost 20 years in the blink of an eye." "
When I think of the scene back then, it's as if it happened yesterday.
It was his unremitting efforts that allowed the NBA to open up the Chinese market.
David Stern continued to laugh and said:
"Before the NBA came, they didn't have a reason to convince Qin Feng to come back!"
"And I have!"
