I'm going to be a star this time

Chapter 206 Chapter 202 The Second Championship Ring

As time progresses little by little.

The preseason is basically over. Generally, the preseason is used for warm-up or training, and the main players are still undergoing basic training and rest.

On October 10th, the Thunder gave Harden an ultimatum at the end of the preseason.

If Harden does not choose a four-year 4 million contract, the team intends to trade Harden away.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly detonated the entire league.

Under the leadership of the four young players last season, the Thunder reached the finals for the first time. At this time, the team should keep the main personnel.

But before everyone could recover, within an hour, the league broke the news that the Thunder and the Rockets had reached a deal.

The Rockets and the Thunder reached a 6-player deal.

The Rockets sent Martin, rookie Lamb and two first-round and one second-round picks to get Harden, Aldridge, Hayward and Daequan Cook.

Harden just won the league's best sixth man title last season. In an average of 36 minutes per game, he was able to score 19.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists for the Thunder, and his shooting percentage was as high as 49%.

And Harden won a four-year maximum salary contract of about $4 million from the Rockets.

The Thunder's dynasty has ended before it even started, and the era of the Four Young Masters has also come to an end.

As soon as this deal came out, many people in the entire alliance couldn't understand it.

Harden's strength is good, as the main core of the team is enough, it is a bit inferior to let him play in the second team, such a person should stay.

With Harden joining the Rockets, the "Harlem combination" formed by him and Jeremy Lin will undoubtedly make the Rockets attract more attention next season.

The turmoil in the league has not yet settled down, and the fans in the entire American media have all been bombarded.

In the season, I thought the Warcraft deal was worth seeing, but I didn't expect the Thunder Rockets to play well.

"Can't see what the Thunder management is doing."

"Didn't expect Harden to be traded on the premise that he still has a one-year contract?"

"What is the Thunder thinking?"

With the heated discussions among the fans, in November 2 days later, the 11-2012 regular season officially began.

There are not many games on the first day of the season, only three games.

The earliest game was the game between the Wizards and the Cavaliers.

Wall was sidelined for eight weeks due to a stress fractured kneecap.

The most interesting player in this game is Irving, who is the No. [-] pick.

Owen's performance is very eye-catching.As the No. 11 pick in [-] years, it is not a loss, but the team's record has not been very satisfactory.

在这第一场比赛中，欧文出场35分钟，20中11，砍下了29分6篮板3助攻1盖帽的成绩。

The opposite side of the fight can be regarded as a failure.

After the game, Cleveland's home fans showed wild celebrations.

Although Owen is only in the second season, his performance is not weaker than that of Wenming.

The next game will be between the Heat and the Bulls.

This is also the season opener for the Bulls at home.

Take on old rivals the Heat at Chicago's United Center.

Of course, this is also one of the commonly used methods in the league. Every time the opening game is arranged like this, it used to be that the Purple and Gold fought against the Green Army, and then on the 23rd and 24th, and now it is the game between the Heat and the Bulls.

The Heat have been weak this year, and the Bulls haven't changed much.

Today is also the opening game for the Bulls to award the championship ring at home.

This game is definitely a game that attracts fans' attention.

The United Center arena is extremely lively, and the home fans are extremely excited.

Because the awarding ceremony of the championship ring will be held soon.

And Akexi, as one of the champion players of last season, also came to the scene to accept the award.

As the president, David West came to the scene early, and at this time he was still following Xiao Hua, who was the vice president.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, the table with the championship ring was pushed to the center of the field.

Of course, countless shots were first shown on the championship ring in the first place.

In the center of the ring is a Bulls mark, above which are written the three letters "NBA", and below it is the English word "champion", surrounded by all diamonds.

The championship ring is not very luxurious, but it is really cool.

After Stern said some words of celebration, he and the owner of the Bulls Ridger presented the championship ring together.

The first is the coaching staff, then the core players who serve as starters, and finally a kind of bench.

Among the players, the first to wear a championship ring is well-deservedly the contemporary leader of the Bulls, Rose.

The name of the text is the second to appear on the stage.

After Wen Ming stepped forward, there were bursts of cheers from the fans, which overshadowed Rose's previous cheers.

Because Wen Ming's role and contribution to the team are not inferior to Rose's, of course the fans know.

Coupled with Wen Ming's achievements, he broke all the youngest records of James and surpassed the Chosen Son.

Wen Ming took over the championship ring from Ridge.

Stern on the side smiled, hugged Wen Ming, and said, "Congratulations. You performed very well."

Because of the existence of the literary name, last year's finals set a new high in ratings. Such a result is a good experience for him.

Even if he is about to retire.

Following Yao Ming, Wen Ming became the first player in the NBA to open the door to the Chinese market.

When Wen Ming hugged Stern, it was of course mainly due to Xiao Hua who kept observing him.

Xiao Hua's performance, how should I put it, relied on the intuition accumulated over the past 1500 years, and found that Xiao Hua didn't like him, and even had some resistance.

Going deeper, I feel that Xiao Hua may be an enemy to him.

Because Silver doesn't like Asian players, and even has a resistant mentality towards Asian players, but Stern is going to retire after all, and the next league president is likely to be Silver in front of him.

But Wen Ming didn't care at all, after all, his strength was there.

After getting the championship ring and Wen Ming wearing it on his hand, he returned to the team.

Wen Ming took a closer look at the championship ring. Apart from those on the surface, the year of the championship was engraved on both sides of the ring, which was similar to the one from last year, nothing new.

Maybe if we win the championship this year, the ring will be different.

Compared with the ability of the ring, the championship ring represents more the honor of the individual or the team, and that is his main meaning.

The championship ring awarding ceremony is in progress.

Heat players also watched the scene from the sidelines.

Although the Heat have won a championship before, most fans now do not have this honor.

Including James himself.

Wade has a championship ring, and so does Ray Allen. As the Big Three, only James and Bosh don't.

And James has entered the finals a lot of times, but he failed to win a championship, and he is also envious.
