: 555. I like playing center most.


The days of Liu Mang, Stockton and Karl Malone have come together again, this time is very early, mainly after the finals, after opening up the time for free agents to contact other management, there have been several allocations People have come to find two people.
This year Shuangsha went to Spokane, Washington, hometown of Stockton, to train in the gym at Spokane Community College.
Spokane Community College is the only university in Spokane. It is the second largest city in Washington State. The entire urban area of ​​Spokane is only 170,000, and the entire Spokane city is only more than 200,000. It is similar to Salt Lake City. The white population It occupies more than 95% of the city, with developed economy and good public security.
The two old men change places every other year and take their families to each other ’s hometown to train. This is the habit of the two. They have already settled in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is probably one of the highest security cities in the United States. Because Salt Lake City is mainly dominated by white people, the relative risk of danger is relatively small, but both of them still return home to train for two or three months every summer.
Liu Mang came to Spokane on June 30 and trained with Stockton and Malone for three days. Malone continued to teach Liu Mang some skills to get rid of defense in the middle distance and how to use Liu Mang ’s elbow that is different from ordinary people. Power to deal with the defensive player's trick, Stockton continued to guide Liu Mang's passing method for two days, telling Liu Mang all the tricks of double-sharp pick-and-roll.
On the afternoon of July 3rd, the last training class was over. Before the three took a shower and left, Liu Mang proposed to go shopping at the school. After a while, the three came to the playground of Spokane Community College. Waiting to leave.
Many universities in the United States have only six or seven months of school a year. Spokane Community College has been on holiday in early June, so there is no congestion. The popularity of Ma Long and Liu Mang is still good.
"Aise, why didn't you call your team's Boozer? Aren't the two of you nicknamed Xiao Shuangsha?" Stockton asked.
Liu Mang responded: "Carlos? He went back to Germany. He saved money this year and moved to the North Rhine River in West Germany. After finishing his season, he went home to help repair the house and take care of his sick daughter."
Liu Mang sometimes feels that people in Europe and the United States are very magical. Every grandfather is very tough, from cutting trees and moving bricks to repairing houses to sewing clothes and embroidering needles.
Boozer is really a Gu family person. By being selected in the first round, and by playing well as a teammate of Liu Mang, he has been favored by some Chinese sponsors. The image is wild enough to endorse some tires. I have a lot more money than the original truck, and once the money is over, I return to Germany to take care of my sick daughter.
"Is that so sorry," Stockton said silently.
Malone has been talking very little, and hasn't spoken for a long time.
Liu Mang struggled for a long time, but still spoke: "John, Carl, do you still play next season?"
Hearing Liu Mang's words, both Stockton and Malone smiled.
Stockton smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Stockton didn't answer, but asked instead, so Liu Mang didn't know what to say.
Both of them are people with strong self-esteem. Liu Mang came to Spokane happily. When it was time to speak, he was a little embarrassed.
Looking at the seemingly absurd smiles of the two, Liu Mang gritted his teeth and said straight: "John, Carl, come to our team, we have the best lineup and the best team atmosphere, but we have little experience. Leader! "
Stockton seemed to have foreseen Liu Mang's purpose this time and smiled and said: "I know, Ace, I will take a break for a while. When you come to find me next time, I miss me Probably just think about it, Carl, how about you? "
What is the answer? Is it agreed? Still not agree?
Liu Mang followed Stockton's gaze to Malone, and Malone remained silent.
Stockton watched Malone silence, closed his mouth and sighed mutely, said to Liu Mang: "Okay, let's go back, Aisi you are very busy in summer, go back tomorrow, I will rest for two months Try to stay away from basketball and think about whether to play next season. "
Liu Mang could only answer, followed the two to the parking lot ...
...
...
In the few days when Liu Mang went to Spokane, the free market was opened, and the salary cap for next season was announced. Due to some factors, the salary cap was a little higher than the original, reaching more than 495.23,000 US dollars, and the salary was determined. After the cap, the teams that wanted to sign up started to formally negotiate with free agents, and many things happened in the league.
Last season, the Spurs beat Turkoglu, Malik Rose and others on the starting lineup Stephen Jackson. He played a calm performance like never before, and was abandoned by Vicky after he was selected in 1997. . Stephen Jackson, who is everywhere, has become humble and hard. He has averaged 12 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Both offense and defense are active and the offense is comprehensive. Although the defensive end has a slow pace, it is very active .
Just after the end of this season, the two-year contract between Stephen Jackson and the Spurs also expired. Many teams threw an olive branch to Stephen Jackson. Eventually, when the free market opened on July 1, Stephen- Jackson chose the Detroit Pistons with the most franchise money and the shortest contract period, and signed a two-year five million contract with player options. Of course, it is an oral agreement. The formal signing will wait until the 7-day free market freeze period. After the end, it can be formally reached.
Although it is a verbal agreement, the NBA is still a place where there is a high probability of credibility. The verbal agreement is basically equal to the signing of the contract. Basically, there have been no cases of remorse.
Free market signing is an oral agreement, but the formal trading market does not have this restriction.
On the same day, the Spurs and the 76ers reached a deal. The Spurs sent out Glen Robinson's last year's expired contract, and the 76ers' Derek Coleman only had a partial guarantee contract of 1.8 million.
Subsequently, the Spurs announced the removal of Derek Coleman, Derek Coleman became a free agent.
The 76ers eat Glenn Robinson, basically it is clear that the next season will be ruined. Allen Iverson's surgery is probably about seven or eight months, and it will be mid-season, so the media The speculation about the 76ers' trade this time is to learn the way the Raptors played last season, let Iverson take good care of him and win a high draft pick.
The Clippers exploded in the frontcourt and just picked another center. They once again gave up several former high-ranking rookies, let go of the sugar man Olovocandi and gave up Lamar Odom's home team. With the renewal terms, the two became free agents.
After the Spurs made room, they made a deal with the Lakers and exchanged Steve Cole from the Lakers to Robert Horry. Then the Lakers and Steve Cole bought out the contract. Steve Cole Seoul announced his retirement in Los Angeles.
and also……
These are small deals and signings. On July 4th, Liu Mang just returned to Atlanta, and the signing that really affected the league came!
...
...
Liu Mang looked at the new teammates Kwame Brown and Korver, Rashid Wallace and Willie Green who had just joined the medical examination and were playing with Jimmy Xiao on the training ground. When I got home in the morning, I received a message from Rahim's phone call.
Last season, Gary Peyton, one of the best point guards in the league, averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.4 steals, announced that he would join the Los Angeles Lakers with a total of 10.37 million in two years.
The combination of Payton, Kobe, O'Neal, the league is crazy, Payton also took the highest salary of 12.64 million last season, according to some team management estimates, such as the Eagles, want to sign Payton at least to Short-term contracts of tens of millions or long-term contracts of about 8 million are possible.
Payton chose to cut the salary to join the Lakers to form a combination of the three giants, shattered his glasses.
Liu Mang went to Phillips Arena from Spokane Fire and coached Kruger to report a joint ... No, it was the result of inviting Shuangsha to join. I did not expect to receive it while driving to Phillips Arena. This news.
Liu Mang probably understands why Ma Long was silent yesterday.
Probably Payton has already come to them first!
Liu Mang is a little sorry, but this is no way, maybe he will have to compete on the highest stage!
Thinking about Liu Mang is still a little excited.
It's just that Liu Mang thinks it is impossible for Stockton to go to the Lakers. Let's fight for it again!
Unfortunately, Liu Mang didn't lose much, Malone didn't win, and didn't rush. The depth of the power forward position of the Hawks.
However, Liu Mang still won Stockton for a team signing position. Now the Hawks have Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Korver, Raheem, Barnes, Willie. -Green, Rashid Wallace, Muhammad, Ratliff, Kevin Willis, Kwame Brown, a total of 13 people, there are two places for reinforcement.
Mainly the point guard's backup, and the veteran of the lineup, if they can get Stockton, both problems are solved, and then find a replacement point guard in the backup when Stockton needs a rest, Liu Mang just suggested that the team wait for Stockton's decision, and gave the Eagles management's phone to Stockton. As for how to operate, he can only say that it is destined. If Stockton will retire , There is no way, if you join, everyone will work hard to get the opportunity to dry the Lakers.
Liu Mang was originally planning to go home after the report, packed up and packed things, and returned to China in two days, but happened to see some new teammates who came to the team to report the medical examination on July 4th and stayed to say hello .
Rashid Wallace is very familiar, and after seeing Liu Mang, he chatted back and shoulders, and was very excited to express the excitement of playing with Liu Mang, and said he was ready to renew the contract with the Hawks. Anyway, it's the kind of drastic salary cut.
Salary reduction is also impossible. Next season, Rashid Wallace's salary is more than 16.7 million. When the Hawks traded to Kwame Brown, all the middle-term terms were traded out before Kwame Brown was charged. Now, the salary has reached more than 54.6 million, and there is only a biennial exception of 3.5 million in two years.
Rashid Wallace ’s own market is terrible. He could n’t sell before the Blazers sold it. This time the renewal of the contract is necessary.
Two rookies, Jay Chou and Willie Green of the United States, are standard American college students. They are very likely to see things. When they see Rashid Wallace and Liu Mang, they run up to help get the bag.
As for Kwame Brown, Liu Mang's feeling is very special. Without the feeling of the dark clouds when he played these two seasons, everyone smiled ...
For Kwame Brown, who giggles when he is okay, Liu Mang can probably understand Kwame Brown's mood, but others look at the panic.
The four new teammates completed the physical examination after warming up, passed the team doctor's examination and physical examination, and played with the little Jimmy who often came to the team's training ground after the holiday.
Rashid Wallace played for a while, ready to go, he still had to find a house, the Hawks over there like he promised not to trade him again in the first season, stabilized his uneasiness of being traded, he Now it is time to find a place to stay in Atlanta for the next year. As for the things after this season, he will slowly consider it during the season, from his own degree of integration in the team, his performance and so on.
"Ace, I'm leaving. Take me for a ride. I'll go to the Hilton Hotel." Rashid Wallace's hippie smiled and rubbed the car.
"... Don't you know to buy a car! I heard that you have been here for several days!" Liu Mang said angrily.
"Wait first, buy it when I renew the contract. Isn't it poor now, I still have to rent a house." Rashid Wallace didn't care about Liu Mang's anger.
"... Your team is the highest-paid team next season!" Liu Mang reluctantly took a rubbing car to the parking lot. One day he didn't expect to be rubbed.
As for Kwame Brown, Willie Green and Korver, they will stay at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. At night, the team's plane, Mike Woodson will take them three to play in the Summer League.
As the No. 1 pick, after playing two seasons and playing the Summer League, Liu Mang felt that Kwame Brown was too pitiful.
But Kwame Brown himself was very happy, and left Jordan, which was a good start for him!
Rashid Wallace ’s completely different character on and off the court is really too much for Liu Mang ... I like it, although it looks a bit rough, but this character is really good. If it ’s not the Blazers, it ’s a big contract. Uncle, Rashid Wallace will not be excluded there.
Everyone else has a big contract, only Rashid Wallace is negotiable. When he renewed the contract with the Blazers in 1998, because he was a rookie before 98, there was no contract renewal for the home team. Completely free agency, the team gave him a 6-year 90 million contract, but he wanted to stay in the team, and the team said he would renew the contract with Damon Stoudemire, hoping he could cut his salary, he would immediately drop It became 80 million in 6 years.
Now when the Trail Blazers and others renew their contracts, they all use Rashid Wallace to push down prices, and Rashid Wallace is largely excluded in the Blazers locker room.
...
Phillips Arena parking lot.
Rashid Wallace was surprised at Liu Mang's red Lamborghini, but did not expect that Liu Mang actually liked the red car.
When he got on the bus, Liu Mang thought of one thing and asked: "Yes, Rashid, don't you want to play center? Our team may sometimes need you to play center."
Rashid Wallace didn't expect Liu Mang to ask this, stunned, and responded with a sly smile: "Who do you listen to, Ace? I like playing center!"
"..." Liu Mang seemed to see a fox that drove himself away from Portland Prison!
