In July, in addition to the Wizards quickly acquiring Director Lu and Wu Sheng, other NBA teams also successively made adjustments to their team lineups.
Chris Webber, who was originally speculated by the media to be likely to leave the Kings, finally completed a contract extension with the Kings.
The Kings will offer Webber a seven-year super contract worth a total of $123 million.
Therefore, in Wang Shuo's eyes, Mbappe's method of using the competition between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to help him raise his price in the future is really just childish, because in the NBA, this trick has long been used to death.
In fact, Webber never thought about leaving the Kings from the beginning, because according to the NBA-related agreements after the 1998 lockout, only by staying with the Kings can Webber receive the theoretical absolute maximum salary.
In addition, after the 76ers completed contract extensions with Mutombo and Aaron McGee, the heroes who reached the finals, "Mountain of Africa" substitute Todd McGulloch also switched to the Nets for 35 million in 6 years. Team.
What makes Wang Shuo most emotional about this signing is that McGulloch, who was signed by the Nets and planned to use it to deal with O'Neal, will eventually use his performance to prove that no matter how hard you try, that fat-headed fish can still defeat you. His head was smashed.
McGulloch, who is 213 centimeters tall and weighs nearly 130 kilograms, has a role on the court similar to that of Haywood, the Wizards' rookie this year, but his athletic talent is far inferior to that of Haywood.
Moreover, if this thing can really target O'Neal, will the 76ers be defeated by O'Neal in this year's finals?
The Nets will definitely regret this signing in the future.
Because of his excessive weight, McGulloch would become "disabled" within two years of playing.
In order to flatter Carter, while completing the contract extension with Antonio Davis for 5 years and 5,500 US dollars, the Raptors also completed contract extensions with Alvin and Jerome Williams respectively.
Antonio Davis, who is 206 centimeters tall and plays the role of a power forward on the court, has a good hand at shooting half-court baskets. However, his weight of less than 100 kilograms is doomed. As long as he encounters a slightly tougher inside line on the opposite side, he will become a basket case. The opponent's cash machine.
What do you say about this signing?
Anyway, in Wang Shuo's view, it is not as good as Jordan, who is already preparing to come back with a basic salary.
Wang Shuo had already communicated with Jordan when he was discussing his comeback promotion.
In the new season, Michael Jordan will mainly swing at the 3rd and 4th positions.
On the one hand, this is because even an "old gangster" cannot lose weight in one summer. On the other hand, Jordan's current speed determines that it is difficult for him to compete with those individuals in terms of speed. The defenders were faster than Wang Shuo when he rewarded himself.
Therefore, in addition to recovering Jordan's physical fitness in the summer, Wang Shuo's only requirement for him is to control his weight at 110 kilograms and reduce his body fat rate.
However, other people's weight gain will increase the load on their knees. Doesn't Wang Shuo worry about the load on Jordan's knees after he changes from a fighter jet to a heavy tank?
Worry!
In Wang Shuo's original timeline, in order to dominate the Lakers' low-post singles, Kobe weighed about 108 kilograms at his most outrageous. Of course, Kobe will indeed pay the price for his weight gain in the future, but...
With Kobe's small body, can he compare with Boss Joe?
If you have seen photos of Jordan and Kobe posing together in suits, you will find that even a "mobile clothes hanger" like Kobe is not enough in front of Jordan.
Jordan's frame and shoulder width determine that his body is fully capable of handling this level of weight gain.
As for why you didn’t gain weight when you were younger?
No...it means you can drive a fighter jet, but you can still drive a tank?
Regardless of their playing days, Jordan and Barkley can be regarded as "superficial brothers", but in Jordan's heart, he will never think that Barkley is on the same level as him, or that there is a chance to surpass him.
In fact, the one who truly gave Jordan a sense of threat was Vince Carter, who single-handedly reversed the dunk contest's reputation in 2000.
How popular was Carter at his peak?
Before the Internet era, the four-time All-Star voting champion in five years was enough to explain everything.
In public, Jordan has touted Carter's talent more than once.
Of course, as far as Carter's emotional intelligence is concerned, it's obvious that Boss Joe is destined to just use his hot face to touch Carter's cold ass.
Let's talk about it, the North Carolina Devils really have to be dealt with by the North Carolina students.
In July, in the free agent market, Unseld also signed Edon Thomas and Bobby Simmons, who performed well in the summer league, to enrich the team's lineup for the new season.
You may not believe it, but Thomas, who was selected by the Mavericks with the 12th overall pick in the first round of 2000, has not even played an NBA game.
Since the 2000 draft was the worst in NBA history, as a noble lottery pick, when he learned that the Wizards were willing to provide him with a minimum salary, Thomas could only kneel down to Unseld in excitement. .
Thomas, who is 206 centimeters tall and weighs 113 kilograms, has good defense and a positive attitude. He is a good substitute forward candidate.
Bobby Simmons was a rookie selected by the SuperSonics with the 13th overall pick in the second round this year.
But because the SuperSonics gave up signing him and he came to the Wizards for a trial before, Unseld signed him into the team.
but......
As a well-known future NBA example of a jobber who got a big contract after only playing well for one year, Simmons is destined to have a hard time getting much playing time with the Wizards in the new season.
Because next season's Wizards wing...
Even if LeBron James at his peak came and walked in while standing, he had to be carried out lying down.
Well, no, at Boss Joe's training camp, someone's ribs were broken.
Uh... don't get me wrong, because Wang Shuo had specially greeted Artest before, and was worried that Artest had not acted lightly, so after completing the contract with Jackson, Wang Shuo immediately sent Wu Sheng to In Jordan's training camp, therefore, in this life, Danzi's ribs are very safe.
Can......
Just like a smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.
At Boss Qiao's training camp, some people also suffered the injuries that were transferred because of Wang Shuo's appearance.
On the 18th, because I heard that Jordan was beaten up by Kobe Bryant in a one-on-one on the first day of training camp, Charles Barkley, who came to tease his old friend, became the first victim.
right......
The first one.
In other words, it's only July, and there's more than one victim in Jordan's training camp.
At that time, there was just one person on the field who could form a game, so Barkley, who had not retired for a long time, volunteered to go on the field.
However, not long after he stepped on the court, Barkley made too many moves when defending Danzi. As a result, in the next possession, he was hit by a bull rush by the young Artest and broke his ribs.
Comparing his feelings, Artest definitely didn't do it on purpose.
Judging from the news coming back from the scene, there is a high probability that Artest just wants to find a place for Jordan.
After all, Jordan will be his big brother next season!
But who would have imagined that after retiring, Charles Barkley was not bumpy at all.
Artest hadn't even exerted his strength yet, and he was carried off the field on a stretcher as if he was struck by porcelain.
It is said that after this day's training, Jordan was very happy and gave Artest a pair of limited edition AJs signed by him the next day.
Well done, Ron!
Labor and management have long been unhappy with that stupid pig!
But, this is not over yet...
On the 19th, Karl Malone, who just heard that Barkley was taken off the field yesterday, also came.
Originally, Ma Long just wanted to share with Jordan the joy of Barkley's ribs being broken.
But who would have thought that Stephen Jackson was suspected of intentionally hurting Boss Joe during a defense...
So, in the next offensive round, the tough guy Malone almost replicated Barkley's classic case in an aerial confrontation.
To be honest, Malone's body is tough.
However, after this battle, Jordan's left and right guardians were completely famous.
Ron Artest.
Stephen Jackson.
"If I had these two people back then, what else would I want for Scottie Pippen? Who cares about Scottie Pippen?"
In the training camp, apart from being beaten up in a one-on-one by Kobe, who stopped by to take a look before marrying Vanessa, Boss Joe was in as good a mood as he could be at the moment.
Danzi had a lot of fun in the training camp he organized.
The Wizards, led by "Old Mike", also played very "highly" in the summer league.
In 6 summer league games, the Wizards achieved 5 wins and 1 loss, becoming the most beautiful sight in this year's summer league.
During the game, they never slowly grind out positions with their opponents. Instead, they picked up the ball and threw it, picked up the ball and rushed forward, which made the fans who went to watch the summer league say they were very satisfied.
Arenas averaged "25+5" for the Wizards in the summer league. The backcourt duo he formed with Crawford took nearly 10 three-pointers per game.
Thanks to the Wizards' crazy shooting from the outside, Haywood became the rebounding leader in the summer league, averaging 15 rebounds for the team per game.
This guy's basic positioning skills are indeed excellent. Wang Shuo feels that with him and Gasol around, he has to strictly control Jordan's playing time in the new season. In addition, Jordan is a little older. Otherwise, if Jordan is three years younger, Jordan will even Have a chance to compete for the rebounding title.
As we enter the end of July, Wang Shuo is not idle either.
Instead, according to the plan he had discussed with Jordan before, he officially started the work related to promoting Jordan's comeback.
First, step one.
At the end of July, Jordan officially sold his Wizards stock.
Unsurprisingly, this news has just been exposed by the media, and people are speculating whether Michael Jordan is preparing for a second comeback.
However, just as Jordan fans are happily waiting for the news of Jordan's return, according to multiple American media...
Jordan's recovery status in training camp this year was not only unsatisfactory, but also earlier, he was hit hard by the young Kobe Bryant in one-on-one.
"I'm old, now is the time for young people." On August 1, the moment that made Jordan fans feel "dark" suddenly arrived.
In his first public interview with the media after selling off the team's stock, Jordan said that the news exposed by the media before was true. He had indeed never beaten Kobe Bryant in one-on-one, and his current physical condition was far worse. then.
So for a while, the fans who had been looking forward to Jordan's comeback suddenly felt like the world was shattering!
But, you may not believe it.
In July, after Jordan's personal top trainer team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of his body, the most professional people in the industry generally believed that Michael Jordan's physical recovery was quite good.
Then here comes the problem.
For what purpose did Jordan "deliberately" "debase" himself in front of the media at this moment?
…
