Chapter 708 Crazy Free Agent Market
After arriving in China, after participating in several commercial activities and shooting a few commercials, Xie Kai began to slowly devote himself to training.At the beginning, he did not carry out the plateau and desert special training last year, but with the cooperation of the trainer, he slowly practiced shooting and other aspects.
Xie Kai is already a player who has been in the NBA for many years. He knows that training is not something that happens overnight, nor can it be done overnight.
这个夏天国家队是有任务的，2014年亚洲运动会篮球比赛于9月20日至10月3日举行。
The intensity of the basketball competition in the Asian Games is low, and the importance is not that great, because it does not involve the issue of tickets for the Olympic Games.
Therefore, the Basketball Association did not explicitly hope Xie Kai to participate in the training camp in advance, and they did not want him to fail in training. Yao Ming's lesson from the past!
Now Xie Kai is the treasure of the men's basketball team and the secret weapon of the Basketball Association. Once he is injured, it will be really difficult for the major games after that.
Xie Kai slowly entered the training mode, and Zhou Jing was not idle either. Together with his management team, he helped Xie Kai develop domestic and foreign commercial markets.Since Xie Kai has made brilliant achievements in the NBA, his commercial value has become one of the top few basketball players in the world. Only James and Kobe who are active can still compete with him.
Although many people are dissatisfied, including those NBA stars and current stars, they feel that Xie Kai's achievements are far from reaching the height of Daidai and O'Neal, and he should not enjoy such popularity and commercial influence.But the problem is that the reality is that he has such influence, it's useless for you to be jealous.
On the jersey sales list last season, Xie Kai ranked first.Not only that, but the signature shoes of his K God series are also selling very well, and Nike is making a lot of money.
As a yellow-skinned Chinese player, Xie Kai is the pride of Asia and the idol of many Asian basketball fans.His photos, posters, and jerseys are very popular in Asia, and various counterfeit products and high-quality imitations are also emerging one after another, which is enough to reflect his popularity.
The last yellow man with such influence in Asia was Yao Ming.
From mid-July, Xie Kai and his training team went to XZ.His plan is to conduct training on the "roof of the world" Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then go to the Taklamakan Desert for training.He benefited a lot from the plateau desert training during the offseason last season.
This offseason, he will continue his strength training.In addition to strength training, he will also train his singles skills and shooting skills.
With the training direction, everything can be carried out in full swing.
In the United States, the reinforcement of the Grizzlies continues. On July 7, Benno Udri and the Grizzlies reached a contract extension agreement, and the Grizzlies signed him for two years with a two-year exception.
Udri Xiekai is no stranger to him. They were teammates when they were in the Kings.It's just that he was traded to the Bucks and then to the Magic. On August 2013, 8, he officially signed with the Knicks, with a one-year contract worth $9 million.
After Udri announced his joining, Xie Kai immediately congratulated him on social media.Although the two are not close friends, it is fate to be teammates again.
Obviously, after Arenas retires, the Grizzlies need to add a backup point guard.Although Xie Kai can handle the ball, it is not a wise choice for him to frequently play the 1st position in the long regular season. guard.Therefore, the team's No. 1 talent reserve demand is actually not small. Apart from the two orthodox No. 2 positions of Conley and Calathes, they do not have a third point guard.Considering that Calathes barely played last season, it is necessary for them to introduce an experienced point guard with little room for manipulation.
The Grizzlies reinforcement plan continues. On July 7, they signed Vince Carter, a former flying man who was still playing for the Mavericks last season, with a basic salary!
This is a good reinforcement for the Grizzlies.Although Carter is 37 years old, his condition is still very good. In this regard, the Grizzlies soldiers who played against him in the first round of the playoffs last season have the most say.
Last season, Carter averaged 11.9 points per game and made 3% of his 39.4-pointers.With his physical condition, it is more than enough to play a substitute wing.
In the case that Mike Miller is determined to leave the team, he can make up for the outside shooting very well.Although compared with Miller, his open shots are not as good as the opponent, but in every other respect, he is worse than Miller.
Carter, one of the four shooting guards, is still weaker than the other three in his offensive ability with the ball, but he is the least picky of his teammates among the four. He has the best off the ball, the strongest body, and solid basic skills. Is a very good teammate.
Ordinary ball-handling superstars rarely transform into outstanding role players in their later years, and Carter is one of the superstars who have successfully transformed.
Carter joined the Grizzlies with a basic salary, of course, it has something to do with the Grizzlies championship effect.In fact, he has always liked the current atmosphere of the Grizzlies.During the offseason, some teams offered him a contract that was slightly lower than the middle class, but he finally chose to join the Grizzlies.
For the Grizzlies, Mike Miller last season and Carter this season are both signs of their growing attractiveness in the free market.In the past, they were rarely considered by free agents in the free market. Now that they have two championships in their hands, their attractiveness is naturally increasing day by day.
Carter's joining made Xie Kai also very excited. He has always liked Carter. It will be a very cool thing to be able to fight side by side with such a player.
In fact, on July 7 before this, James published an open letter in "Sports Illustrated", announcing that he would return to the Cavaliers.
——This is the most exciting news of the offseason, bar none.The determination of James' whereabouts has also truly set the direction of this summer's free market.The teams that don't get him start to adopt Plan B, and those other free agents will also have deep communication with the favorite teams.
After James returned to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' odds of winning the new season jumped to the No. 3 in the Eastern Conference and No. 10 in the league, second only to the defending champion Grizzlies and the Thunder with Durant and Westbrook.And the odds of the Heat team that James played for before have dropped to [-]th place...
The role of superstars is unimaginable.
Carter's choice to join the Grizzlies was more or less influenced by the determination of James' next home, because after Big Fish confirmed his next home, many other free agents could choose their next home.This may seem inexplicable, because one's own destiny seems to be in the hands of others, but in the NBA, this is indeed the case.If the other team can get James, they are even willing to trade half of the players in the team. Although basketball is a team sport, the role of superstars is too great.
