Chapter 345 New Season

That night, with a sweet smile, Coach Cheeks fell asleep early, waiting for tomorrow's signing.

At the same time, after night fell, the Celtics team hurriedly appeared at the door of the hotel where Rasheed Wallace was staying.

Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, the big three are all here, plus the Celtics manager Danny Ainge, the four most important people of the Celtics gathered together, the purpose is to influence Rashid Hua with sincerity Lace, make a last effort.

Danny Ainge used his three-inch tongue to blow out Rasheed Wallace, saying that he is the perfect championship puzzle that the Celtics dream of. KG's temper is also very against Rasheed Wallace. As soon as they saw each other, they wished they could kowtow and worship immediately.

"That's right, we are the same kind of people. We are born to play together. If you think about the Philadelphia 76ers, they are led by two Chinese, Chen Ning and Yao Ming. It is said that their culture and habits are similar to ours. Totally different, not even a joke in the locker room, it's unbearable, Rasheed, you're going to put up with this for an extra $200 million, right?"

Kevin Garnett's black mouth made a precise strike. Rasheed Wallace really has this concern. He has always been used to playing different accents. Now he is not reconciled to being led by two Chinese.

Danny Ainge took the opportunity to launch an offensive again. With such a team cooperation, no one can resist.

Finally, when Coach Cheeks woke up and dialed Rasheed Wallace, all he heard was a message:

"I'm sorry Coach Cheeks, money is not everything, I, Rasheed Wallace, value freedom more."

Monk Cheeks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, the phone couldn't get through, and he couldn't wait, so he could only return to Philadelphia.

As soon as he walked into the Wachovia Center Arena, Cheeks received the news that the NBA officially announced that the Boston Celtics signed free agent Rasheed Wallace with a two-year middle-level contract of about 1200 million US dollars. Now Rasheed Wallace has gone to Boston with the team, and he is already an official member of the Celtics.

"shameless!"

Bang!

Coach Cheeks smashed the teacup angrily.

When he learned why Coach Cheeks had his nose twisted in anger for two consecutive weeks, Channing laughed knowingly. Rasheed Wallace really has a personality. Going to hang out with the Celtics gang, maybe this is the so-called flocking of birds of a feather.

What's even happier is that no one is going to split the money, and Channing has even greater hopes for a maximum salary contract next year.

Of course, on the surface, Channing had to put on a sad and regretful expression to comfort Coach Cheeks:
"Don't think about it, coach, maybe we are destined to have no fate with Rasheed Wallace. Thinking about it from another angle, that guy would rather ask for 400 million dollars less than come to us in Philadelphia. It can be seen that he is really not the same as us. Even if If you come reluctantly, there is a high probability that there will be conflicts in the future, so it is better for our old comrades to work together to defend the title."

With such an explanation, Coach Cheeks felt a lot more balanced.

Compared with the turmoil in the East, the offseason in the West was calmer. Except for the San Antonio Spurs trading for Richard Jefferson, only the Lakers and Rockets changed personnel.

The small forward Artest of the Rockets chose to transfer to the Lakers. Last season, Artest was the most passionate with Kobe. This season, he will obediently be Kobe's good boy. The NBA is such a drama.

The Lakers small forward Ariza, who played well last season, accepted the Rockets' contract in order to earn more money, which is equivalent to Ariza and Artest swapping clubs.

In addition, the lineup of the Lakers has not changed much. Compared with Ariza, Artest has more experienced defensive experience and more mature performance on the court. After such a toss, the strength of the Lakers has increased a little.

Reviewing the summer signings of all teams in the entire NBA, only the Celtics have significantly strengthened, the Lakers have significantly strengthened, and the Cavaliers and Magic have pulled their hips one after another.

Philadelphia has basically not changed, which is equivalent to standing still.

Channing is very satisfied with the team's offseason operations. As long as he doesn't introduce big-name stars in a mess, Channing's maximum salary contract next summer will be guaranteed, and he can stay in Philadelphia smoothly and continue his glorious road of one person, one city , Compared with going to other teams to get a maximum salary contract, staying in Philadelphia must have a better reputation for Channing, and he has always been a nostalgic person, as long as the money is enough.

Seeing that there is no hope for signings, Philadelphia completely cut off the idea of ​​reinforcements. At the end of July, Coach Cheeks signed center Ratliff with a one-year veteran's basic salary contract of $7 million. Philadelphia's summer signings Completely over.

In the end, the boss Ed Snyder left the field in person and gave Channing a promise of 100% maximum salary and a long-term contract for next season, in order to calm Channing's heart in advance, so as to prevent other teams with ulterior motives from contacting Channing privately in advance. , Abduct this superstar.

It’s funny to say that in Cleveland, James sincerely hoped that the management would recruit him big-name stars, or else he would make a fuss about leaving next year, while in Philadelphia, Channing sincerely hoped that the management would not randomly recruit big-name stars for him, otherwise If he delays his big contract next year, he will definitely leave, just the opposite of James.

After a while, soon, the 2009-2010 NBA regular season officially started.

Small teams such as the Rockets and Pistons are in a slump, and there is nothing to watch. The fans' attention is all focused on the four teams of Philadelphia, Celtics, Cavaliers, and the Bulls in the East, as well as the Lakers, Spurs, and Youth in the West. Army Thunder three teams.

The East and the West each have a very young strong team. The Bulls in the East are led by last season's No. [-] pick Derrick Rose, plus Gordon, Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, Hinrich and other good players , played well in the regular season. After being eliminated by Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs last season, Rose trained even harder. This season's average scoring data, average assist data, shooting percentage, and true efficiency value They have all made significant progress and have grown into quasi-first-line super giants second only to Channing, Kobe, James, etc.

The Thunder in the West is a representative of the luck. In the two or three seasons of the draft, they successively selected three phenomenal stars Durant, Westbrook and James Harden. Among these three brothers, Westbrook can rush, Durant can shoot, and James Harden can lead the bench to score. If the inside is not too weak, the Thunder hope to make a bloody way in the West.
