This summer is destined to be unusual for NBA.

A group of free agent stars represented by James, Wade, Bosh, Boozer, Johnson, etc. have triggered the inspiration of all teams in the league. Those who are expected to get one of these players are naturally going all out; and some teams know that they cannot get these big fish, they are actively seeking trades to further optimize the team's salary structure and player structure.

In this crazy summer of national trading, news or rumors about player trading are almost every day, and people are almost numb.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most lively summer in the NBA ever. From the number and status of free agents to the popularity of team participation, it can be said that it is unprecedented.

Jiang Jun is not very concerned about these things. For him, only Yao Ming’s deal is the most important thing. As for others, it can be said that things are not your own. His current task is to spend more time with his parents and handle some domestic affairs well. By the end of September, he will fly to Charlotte to train with the team, run in, and then play preseason games to make sufficient preparations for the new season.

After returning from Shandong Province, Jiang Jun returned to Shiling City. After staying at Jiang Jun's house for a day, Zhao Bingru took Hu Hai's special car back to Ningdu.

Hu Hai usually goes back to Ningdu every weekend. In the past month, he was very busy because of the renovation of Dapu Park and never went back. This time he had such an opportunity and reason to please the daughter of the boss, so he accompanied Zhao Bingru back.

During this period, something happened. He Mike called and said that the team's general manager Higgins and head coach Brown hoped that Jiang Jun would participate in the summer league held in Las Vegas, USA in mid-July.

But Jiang Jun refused. Jiang Jun also learned about this summer league. This is a league held by the NBA every year for players and newcomers who have entered the league for less than three years, usually in Las Vegas.

NBA usually takes a vacation time for big-name stars and main players every summer, but free agents or rookies cannot rest at this time. In order to gain the trust of the team and attack the team's roster, they have to conduct some confrontational training. The NBA Summer League was born. In the summer league, the main players and main substitutes of each team will not participate, and they will seize every time to rest.

Jiang Jun will not waste time playing for a league of this level. Although he is just a second round pick, who made him the new cornerstone of the team designated by Jordan!

According to He Mike, head coach Larry Brown, who is on vacation, heard from the assistant coach leading the team that Jiang Jun refused to participate in the league, which made him very angry. The team's transaction of Chandler made him very dissatisfied.

So the old man made a phone call with Jordan, hoping that the team's rookies could adapt to the NBA rhythm as soon as possible.

But Jordan trusts Jiang Jun very much. When he heard that Jiang Jun would not participate, he smiled and said nothing. In fact, even he himself disdained these summer leagues.

However, since Brown, who had personally launched an invasion and questioned, Jordan defended Jiang Jun.

"A player who can score Gerald Wallace 10-0 during bullfighting does not need to participate in the summer league."

Coach Brown was surprised and suspicious. He didn't know what Jiang Jun and Wallace had to fight one-on-one. However, in his opinion, no matter how outstanding a rookie was, he would not be much better. But since the team's boss had spoken, he had to stop talking in disappointment.

******************************************************

On August 10th, Jiang Jun was doing morning exercises in the newly repaired Dapu Park when he suddenly received He Mike's mobile phone: "Jiang! Very big news - the deal between the Bobcats and the Rockets has been reached!"

Jiang Jun was in a state of mind and immediately asked for the specific content.

It turned out that after arduous negotiations between the Rockets and the Bobcats, they finally reached a big deal with Yao Ming and Wallace as the trading subjects.

Specifically: the Bobcats sent Gerald Wallace, Boris Dior and the first-round draft pick in 2012 (the top three protections), and exchanged Yao Ming and Badinger from the Rockets.

Wallace's annual salary is about 9 million US dollars, Dior's annual salary is about the same as Wallace, and more than 9 million US dollars, Yao Ming's annual salary is 18 million US dollars, and Badinger's annual salary is 700,000. The total transaction amount of the two parties is not much different, which meets the alliance's salary equivalent transaction requirements.

Originally, the Rockets wanted to be a young inside player Thomas, but Thomas had just signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Bobcats. Morey felt that the contract was too long and was not conducive to future operations. Head coach Adelman also appreciated Dior's passing and support skills, so he changed it to Dior.

As for Chase Bardinger, this is the 44th-digit second-round pick selected by the Rockets in 2009. Although this white player has shown good potential in the past season, because the team has veteran Sean Bathir in the small forward position, and the new Wallace must be the main force, Bardinger's playing time is almost negligible. Since this is the case, it is better to trade it out.

Originally, in the small forward position, the Rockets also had a main small forward Ariza, but in order to avoid luxury tax, the Rockets just made a four-team deal with the Hornets, Pacers and Nets, sending away Ariza, who had a 6-year, $35 million contract, in exchange for the shooting guard Contney Lee, who once played in the finals.

For the Rockets, in addition to getting Lee, the deal mainly saved millions of wages. This summer, the Rockets spent a lot of money on renewing the contract with Louis Scola, Keller Lori and Brad Miller, and their total wages quickly rose to $81 million. Before this deal, the team had to pay a luxury tax of 10 million. After this deal, the Rockets could save $28 million in overall and save $10 million this season - which included luxury tax.

The transaction of Yao Ming is based on the Rockets team doctors who are very pessimistic about Yao Ming's injuries. They believe that although Yao Ming's foot has just undergone surgery, from many aspects such as Yao Ming's height, weight, age, and playing style, Yao Ming's injury is unavoidable. Even if he barely returns, he faces the risk of recurrence at any time.

In this case, Morey decided to use Yao Ming's surplus value to trade Wallace that he is very optimistic about.

Jiang Jun was really surprised and happy when he heard this news. He didn't expect that he would play on the same team as Yao Ming.

"Jiang, I think you are under great pressure on Bobcats." He Mike said obscurely.

Jiang Jun understood what He Mike meant. Because of a rookie, the team moved frequently and replaced the team's inside pillars and outside offense and defense cores one after another. This can be said to be a big taboo.

I remember that as soon as James arrived at the Cavaliers, the team quickly traded the team's original boss Ricky Davis; and as soon as Kevin Durant arrived at the Thunder, he was called the Supersonics at the time, the team immediately traded Ray Allen to the Celtics.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It is obvious that as a team, if you have a new core, you must send away the original core. This is also for the new boss to quickly get on the stage and help the team to quickly get into the team. It is understandable.

However, for new players, there is a heavy responsibility and pressure on their shoulders. Since the team has cleared the way for you and created an environment, if you cannot achieve results, at least your personal data is better, it will soon become a criticism from thousands of people and be ridiculed by the media and fans until death.

However, Jiang Jun doesn't care about this. He doesn't feel any pressure at all. No matter what, playing with Yao Ming is much more comfortable than playing with Wallace.

If you are teammates with the Japanese, it would be fine if the Japanese are low-key and honest, but I would endure it. However, if this Japanese teammate is too arrogant and arrogant and looks down on yourself, then you should go wherever you are. I don’t have a good impression of the Japanese and will not have any good temper.

As a former Boxer General in the fight against the Eight-Nation Alliance and as a narrow nationalist, Jiang Jun did not think he was wrong.

As for the team's record and personal data, it is not a problem for Jiang Jun.

Just kidding, if you don’t even have this kind of confidence, it would be too disgrace to be a martial arts master.

Jiang Jun thought about it and called Yao Ming. Soon Yao Ming's low voice came over: "Brother, you're right, we've really got to the same team."

When Jiang Jun heard Yao Ming's voice, he smiled curiously and said, "Did Brother Yao know it a long time ago? Don't you want to say anything about your thoughts?"

Yao Ming also laughed there: "Actually, the Rockets greeted me, and they said they wanted to change the team. And I knew that my injury was indeed a big problem, so I agreed. But I don't want these things now. For me, being with my daughter is the most important thing now."

Jiang Jun suddenly realized that Yao Ming had just given birth to a daughter in May this year and was already happy to be a father. No wonder he was a little sad a few days ago, but now he is very calm. It seems that he is thinking about it.

Jiang Jun pondered for a moment and said, "When will you go to the United States?"

Yao Ming said: "I will go in a few days. I haven't participated in the national team competition this year, so I can leave earlier."

Jiang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, when I go to Charlotte at the end of this month, I will go find you and see your foot injury."

"No way? Are you really an old military doctor in Fujian?" Yao Ming laughed.

"Do you think I'm joking! The third generation of single-letter miracle doctor! I don't even see ordinary people!" Jiang Jun smiled.

Yao Ming smiled for a long time before saying, "Okay, let's treat dead horses as living horses. Let's talk about it when we arrive in the United States."
