On August 2, 2006, Gary Payton officially submitted a retirement application to the league, held a press conference to officially announce his retirement, joining the Trail Blazers scouting department. Next, according to the latest regulations implemented this year, according to Payton's situation, he can receive more than $5,000 in social security and medical insurance subsidies a year after retirement. If he applies for unemployment assistance, he can also get some cash.

But black players always have strange ideas. They still have some money in their pockets, so they don’t get these subsidies, and they feel that they can’t afford to face.

Payton, the best defensive player in the past, a historically-level defensive player who defends 9 times, and a well-known star in his 16-year career. He retired, so he has to make the headlines, right?

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his retirement.

Almost at the same time, Yahoo Sports columnist Wokin Navoski revealed that the Bulls and Timberwolves reached a deal, Garnett traveled east and joined the Bulls!

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the basketball world!

Immediately afterwards, the NBA official website updated the latest transaction situation and confirmed the transaction.

The Bulls, Timberwolves, and the Wizards and Hornets who were pulled into the trade also confirmed the deal.

To put it simply, the Bulls gave Roll Deng, Michael Svetney, and Dalius Sangela. They won two unprotected first-round picks in 2007 and 2009, and took PJ Brown's last-year contract with $8.56 million next season, and got Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves trade.

The Timberwolves sent Kevin Garnett and got Roll Dun from the Bulls, Sweetney, two first-round picks, Mark Jackson from the Hornets, and Mike James from the Wizards.

The Wizards and the Hornets also got what they wanted. The Wizards felt that there were too many point guards and sent out Mike James, who had just traded from the Raptors, to get the tough inside Dalius Sangela he wanted; the Hornets sent away PJ Brown, who was a high-paid but useless to them, and made a place for the new No. 1 pick Aldridge.

In the first round of last season, when the Bulls played against the Heat, some people regretted that the Bulls had everything, just one superstar was missing, and now they have it!

The Pistons, Heat, Nets, Pacers, and the Eastern F4 have added another strong team, and the Bulls have squeezed into the Eastern Conference's powerful ranks!

…

"Hard special plus boxing champion, the little emperor is so miserable..."

Liu Xiu looked at the transaction details written in the news and observed a silence for James.

Yao Ming, who was standing beside him, asked strangely: "Garnett's style of playing is not tough, he is fierce, dirty... his face is very tough."

Seeing that Yao Ming didn't like Garnett, Liu Xiu said, "Brother Yao, you are in the east too."

"..." Yao Ming was silent for a moment and cursed: "It's like a horse..."

None of the superstar insiders look down on Garnett, but no one wants to be an opponent with Garnett.

Not likable is not likable, but people are really strong!

Garnett used any inside player to compare it with the Pistons, Heat, and Pacers.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi thought that he was good to be a role player, and his worries were all the boss.

Liu Xiu called Bill Duffy for a while and asked if there was any insider information about this deal in the broker circle. It was nothing but just curious.

There is really insider news. It is said that the Timberwolves agreed to the deal because the Timberwolves owner was moved by the Bulls' behavior that Roy gave them.

Liu Xiu didn't know how to complain for a moment when he heard this.

Is it really impossible to see that the Bulls are just trying to save money?

There is also insider news. The Bulls originally wanted to give the boxing champion to the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves also dislike the boxing champion and felt that the boxing champion grew too slowly. They had been playing for five years and could not even touch the side of the best defensive lineup, so the Bulls changed to two first-round picks.

This made Liu Xiu silent for a long time.

He finally understood why the refrigerator was almost giving the Timberwolves to the Celtics, and the Timberwolves owner fired the refrigerator.

Liu Xiu took out his small notebook and wrote down the five names of Hinrich + Gordon + Nosioni + Garnett + Chandler. After reading it for a while, he suddenly realized.

It's nothing to do with him!

Even if the Bulls' strength surges, they may not necessarily be able to leave the East. The East team should be the headache.

But the loss of stars in the western region seems to be getting worse and worse, and another superstar has gone to the east...

…

Garnett joined the Bulls, Yao Ming was depressed for two days, Liu Xiu had nothing to do, and Wang Zhizhi was also unrelated to him.

This incident is also a hot event in the Chinese men's basketball training team, but just like ordinary fans, everyone just watches the excitement. Once the popularity is over, they should do whatever they should do.

Time passed day by day, and on August 8th, the training camp was over after the morning training ended.

After a day off, inform the team members of the final selection results.

Everyone has a different attitude towards the issue of "selecting". The 6-member team composed of Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and Yi Jianlian are all full of confidence. They returned to BJ together in the afternoon and went to Liu Xiu's grandfather's house for dinner.

When I learned that Sansha was Liu Xiu's apprentice, Liu Xiu's grandfather was very enthusiastic about these three people. As an old chef, he taught many apprentices. The one he didn't like the most was his son. He had been trained for so many years and wanted him to take over the restaurant. As a result, this evil man went to the United States to block the repairman. Do you think it's annoying?

However, Liu Xiu's grandfather originally thought that Sansha was learning to play basketball with Liu Xiu, but in the end he learned to play fighting...

After the meal, after the guests left, Liu Xiu's grandfather chased Liu Xiu's uncle and fought a street.

In the eyes of Liu Xiu's grandfather, Liu Xiu was still the good baby more than ten years ago. He studied in the United States and lived in his uncle's house for several years, but he became the dominant American sports world! He is notorious!

Liu Xiu was quite curious. His uncle had a gentle personality. There was nothing wrong with using elegance to describe it, but his mother and grandfather both had bad tempers...

The next day, Liu Xiu rested at his grandfather's house for a day and received a notice from the Basketball Management Center to report wherever he went.

On August 10, Liu Xiu met with the national team.

The final lineup was the same as what Liu Xiu, Yao Ming and others guessed when they were chatting.

Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Yi Jianlian were all selected, and Mo Ke, Liu Wei and Li Nan, who participated in the Athens Olympics, were also selected, and three newcomers were selected.

Zhang Songtao, who is only 213 cm tall and weighs 130 kilograms, was selected.

Liu Xiu estimated that it was used to replace Bartel who did not participate in this World Championships. His mobility was good, he had enough tonnage, and his skills were not good, but he had them all.

Wang Shipeng, 23 years old, Guangdong Gang, 196 cm, 94 kg body, and his skills are also good.

The last person is Sun Yue, the most talented singer in the domestic basketball world... The 206-centimeter guard, who is only 21 years old, looks promising, has good offensive ability, and is extremely hard-working on the defensive end. He gave Yao Ming a big hat in the training game, which is quite amazing.

Liu Xiu looked at these teammates, mainly inside teammates, and was full of confidence! He was full of expectations for this trip to the island country.

In the afternoon, the Chinese men's basketball team officials, staff, coaching staff, trainers, team doctors... and 12 players, and a group of hundreds of people took a charter flight to Nagasaki, Japan.
Chapter completed!
