Chapter 860 The Aftermath of the 2016 NBA Free Market (Second Update!)
The Chinese team won the gold medal, and Chinese fans were elated.
From now on, when you compete with others on social media, you will no longer have low self-esteem and lack of confidence!
We will also have gold medals from now on!
That night, the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics was held at the Maracanã Stadium. More than 70,000 people came to watch, and the scene was crowded.
When the Chinese men's basketball delegation appeared at the scene, it attracted roars of cheers from the audience.
The Chinese team defeated the United States in the final. The victory not only belongs to China, but also to the fans around the world.
Because this is the end of an era of dominance, and it also gives hope to other countries' basketball.
Team USA is not invincible!
The Chinese team can do it, and they also have a chance to do it!
"Damn it, can't we just not be here?"
The US men's basketball team has entered the stadium, and Green couldn't help but speak at this time.
The award ceremony was already uncomfortable enough, but the closing ceremony was even more uncomfortable.
"cannot."
Butler on the side replied.
Green has been thinking more and more since he became an orphan, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Green knew Butler's character and turned away without saying anything.
Although Brazil's economy is very poor now, the closing ceremony was quite unique, which can be considered very cost-effective.
After the closing ceremony, there was a "Tokyo Eight Minutes" segment, which introduced Tokyo, Japan, the host city of the next Olympic Games.
That will be the Olympic Games four years later, but many people on the Chinese delegation are already eager to try.
Because of history, there is nothing more meaningful than proving yourself in Tokyo.
Tang Tian also has hopes. This group of men's basketball players is not bad, and they will be even stronger in four years.
If they beat the American team again, it would probably be the strongest American team with James, Harden and Curry. That would be so refreshing...
After the closing ceremony, Tang Tianbao went to the most famous local bar. After getting permission from the delegation leader, the whole team went into the bar to have a carnival.
Just like when the Pelicans won the championship, he still paid for all the expenses that night.
Spending a small amount of money to celebrate the most important moment in life is worth it.
This is also an unforgettable night for the Chinese team members. Brazilian models are world-famous.
The Olympic Games have come to an end, and teams from various countries are returning home one after another.
Tang Tian did not return to the United States immediately, but returned to China with the members of the national team.
Yao Ming will hold a charity game in China in a week. Tang Tian will promote his foundation there and help Yao Ming get tickets.
At the same time, the Pelicans' Brogdon, Siakam and Jokic will also go to Shanghai to compete.
Tang Tian's face is very high now.
When arriving in China, eating is inevitable, and Jokic felt like he had arrived in a dream paradise.
If it weren't for the accompanying nutritionist who was desperately trying to control his diet, he would have lost all the weight he gained this season after returning from his trip to China.
The most exciting thing is Brogdon and Siakam. The two rookies not only eat and drink, but also have the opportunity to play with the team bosses, which is quite enjoyable.
While Tang Tian and Jokic were "preparing" for a charity match in China, a lot of news broke out in the free market.
The NBA's free market opens in July, and signings and trades will continue until the trade deadline of the new season.
During the nearly 7 months in between, you can sign or trade at any time as long as you meet the requirements.
Training camps for many teams will start one after another in late September, which can also be regarded as the final reinforcement time for each team.
Among the several signings that broke out, the Rockets, Mavericks, and Warriors are all on the list.
The Rockets continued to strengthen their bench. They signed the "nine-finger dunk king" and Houston native Gerald Green with a one-year minimum salary.
Green previously performed well with the Suns, but was given up on his average performance with the Heat last season.
The Mavericks signed Seth Curry and McGee to one-year minimum-salary contracts.
The Mavericks have strengthened during the offseason, and this lineup is definitely heading for the championship.
To win the championship, the Pelicans and Warriors must be their main goals.
One is McGee, who previously played for the defending champion Pelicans, and the other is the younger brother of Curry of the Warriors. This reinforcement for the Mavericks is very interesting.
But this is not the most interesting news about the Mavericks.
The most fascinating news during this period is related to the Mavericks, but it is not these two.
Before these two signings, Woj broke the news that the Mavericks management intends to use the basic salary to continue to renew Pachulia.
Pachulia performed well for the Mavericks last season, and his role was highlighted after being banned from the playoffs.
His contract expires this season, and considering his age, he only needs a minimum salary to renew.
In addition, he is familiar with Carlisle's system after playing in Dallas for one year.
Taken together, renewing his contract with a basic salary is a very good choice.
Head coach Carlisle also supports the team's choice.
But after the news broke, Butler's reaction was huge.
He directly protested to the team management and did not want the team to renew Pachulia's contract.
reason?
He doesn't bother to be on the same team as this kind of person!
Pachulia stepped in more than once in the playoffs last season, and once the target was his good brother Tang Tian.
He definitely couldn't bear this.
In the end, the management, in order to appease Butler, did not choose to renew Pachulia's contract and turned to McGee.
The incident was smoothed over, but there were looming problems between Butler and Carlisle.
But no one cared about that at this time, because after the negotiation with the Mavericks collapsed, Pachulia turned to the Warriors!
He reached a minimum salary contract extension with the Warriors!
After losing Bogut, the Warriors lacked a big man to protect the frame. The arrival of Pachulia can be said to be very suitable.
But this time, fans on social media exploded.
"Stepping on the scumbag and shaking his head, chasing the egg Green and surrendering to Du?"
"Black Curry's is too much, but what's with this inexplicable rhyme?"
"But these are all facts. Pachulia steps on his feet, Curry shakes his head, Green chases the egg, Durant surrenders to the enemy..."
"Tsk! The Warriors have unknowingly gathered all kinds of shady players in the new season. This is indeed the most difficult road to take!"
"Don't worry about whether it's difficult or not, I'm really worried about the Pelicans now. They are kicking the ball and stepping on the ground. If they play another series, will they still be intact?"
"What are you afraid of? We have Tang! Dare you kick the egg again? I'll kick your other one out too! From now on, Green will become a father-in-law! As for stepping on the feet? I'm afraid I don't want the feet anymore!"
"Hiss! So cruel! So bloody! I love it so much!"
"Don't tell me, this signing is not a big deal, but it has successfully made him look forward to the third season of Peking Warriors. There are too many topics!"
"Warrior Championship!"
"Pelicans Championship!"
"Lakers championship!"
"??"
