The turmoil of the walkers continued.

Theo Papalucas and Ron Artest became free agents at the same time, and they are both favorite players of fans. Fans hope to leave them all, but the salary space is not allowed.

The only way to keep Papalucas and Artest is that they both cut their salaries, and it is not a little cut, but a significant salary cut.

After a period of negotiations, the Pacers left Ron Artest.

Judging from the style of play and the needs of the team, the Pacers need Papalucas even more

He can play in two positions: No. 1 and No. 2, has a steady ball control, outstanding organizational ability, and has accurate three-point shooting, and can adapt to almost any system.

Under the leadership of Thibodeau, Papalucas changed to "one-star" campaign. Papalucas didn't like this system and had already begun to want to leave.

Last season, his average score increased again, reaching 14 points and 7 assists.

Scores were a career high, with only one less assist than in the 2007-2008 season.

The magic is still the one who takes action.

In the summer of 2007, they used a long-term contract that surpassed Wang Zhizhi's value and snatched the middle-aged man from the Pacers.

Their presentation is not over yet.

This time, another four-year, tens of millions of contracts took the Greeks away.

"I have never been in one place for so long, Indianapolis is always the most special place in my mind." Papalucas said goodbye to the fans with Shet, "Thank you for your love, I will never forget."

In order to bid farewell to Papalucas, Xiehou held a special party.

"I didn't expect you to leave Yin Village earlier than me. Congratulations, you are finally relieved!" Xie Hou said and laughed.

The wine glass on Papalucas's hand only contained half a glass of wine.

"You still want to leave here?" Although the Greeks did not pay much attention to things outside the venue, he had lived in Indiana for six years and knew very well how much influence Xie Hou had in this city.

His success far surpassed the Colts' Manning, after all, most people admire the winner. Manning is invincible in the regular season and was defeated in the playoffs. Although he is engaged in the NFL, the most popular among the American people, the glory he gave to Indiana is completely incomparable to Xie Hou.

"You can leave, why can't I?"

Listening to Xie Hou's replies, Papalucas smiled calmly and said, "If I leave, the fans are just sad; if you leave, thousands of fans will be heartbroken."

"Do I want to stay here forever for someone I don't know?" Xie Hou just asked casually, and Papalucas felt that he might be really thinking about this.

Papalucas drank the remaining half glass of wine.

"I believe you will make the most appropriate choice." Papalucas no longer struggled with this topic. He filled himself with a glass of wine. "I never thought about the NBA six years ago. Thanks to you, I had the idea of ​​coming to the United States. It was you that made me realize that I can not only succeed in Europe, but even in the United States and the best players in the world, I can play my role without dragging you down."

Papalucas is not just an old teammate from the CSKA Moscow to the United States.

He is older than Xie Hou and calmer than Xie Hou.

When Xie Hou is out of control, he can stabilize the game.

When Xie Hou is stupid, he will mock him. His mockery can always point Xie Hou's pain points, make him angry, and then calm down and reflect carefully.

At this time, thank you can only wish you good luck.

Papalucas ended his six-year career as a Pacer.

So, the Pacers used 80% of the middle class special case to sign a four-year contract with Ron Artest.

The walker's operation is over.

In September, at the Tianjin Asian Championships, the Chinese team played at home.

The Chinese team has three NBA players. Even without King Arthur and the Little Giants, their lineup is unsolvable in Asia.

There was no pressure throughout the whole process. In the final, against Iran, the opponent was known as the golden generation. Although Haddadi, known as the second center in Asia, had an advantage in the interior, he eventually lost to the Chinese team's three active NBA players working together.

The Chinese team successfully won the championship, locked in the 2010 World Championships, and added another new mark to the glorious history of the Chinese team in dominating the Asian Championships.

In mid-September, the preseason training camp will be held as scheduled.

This year's training camp is in Indianapolis. Players don't have to go far and go home directly after training, which is extremely convenient.

During the months of vacation that had just ended, Xie Hou strengthened some technical details.

At the same time, he also lost his weight to 104 kilograms.

This is a gradual process, and his team considers that he is about to be 30 years old and his physical functions are about to decline from his heyday and gradually deteriorate.

Excessive weight is not conducive to maintenance.

After all, basketball games are still focused on confrontation events. The more powerful the player is, the more pressure the team opponents will be under the thunderous means.

When I was young, I could fight anyway, but I could stand it anyway.

When you are old, excessive consumption is the source of all injuries.

Therefore, Xie Hou will gradually lose weight.

He will keep his weight at about 100 kg before he is 32 years old.

This weight may not help him play inside, but he is not an inside player at all. Even if the outside player can withstand it, the consumption is several times that of the outside player.

Pacers Preseason Training Camp

In the training camp, the first teammate Xie Hou saw was Andre Kirilenko.

Last season, he didn't play a single game due to back surgery.

Calculate the time, he hasn't played a game in 17 months.

Now that he appears in the training camp, he shows that he has recovered. As for how much he has recovered and how much combat power he still has, it is unknown.

"It's so happy to see you still run or jump." Xie Hou said the first sentence when he saw him.

Kirilenko shook his head modestly: "It's no longer possible to jump before."

That's the truth.

Many people left.

Papalucas transfers, Sun Yue and Tim Thomas were traded, Steven Hunter's contract expired, the team did not mean to keep him, and he left. Some players stayed, but there were indeed a lot of new faces.

At the draft several months ago, the Pacers selected four people in one go.

Omi Casby, Ty Gibson, Tony Douglas and A.J Price.

One is known as Israel Jordan, and the template is Turkish agent Hideo Tkoglu; one is an older draft player, and the template is exciting - Vin Baker. But his chance of becoming Baker may be less than 1%; the other is a very personal point guard, who is smart and creative in the ball. The Pacers have lost Sun Yue and Papalucas one after another, and they really need to add the number one position. The remaining one is also a defender, and he has completely different styles from Douglas. Douglas is good at controlling luck, and he is good at shooting.

If possible, Larry Bird would rather stay Papalucas than want these two.

They will, and Papalucas will.

They won't, so will Papalucas, and they are more experienced and have better defense.

A high point guard who is two meters tall has a strong point of defense, a clear brain, strong command ability, and stable projection - the magic trick is to spend tens of millions of fat to grab people, which is naturally unique.

"Hello."

Xie Hou walked to the newcomer with a friendly smile on his face.

Except for Gibson, all the other three newcomers voted back to Xie Hou's friendly response.

Gibson nodded and responded, extremely perfunctory.

Xie Hou had never met Gibson, and he believed that the newcomer had no objection to him. It might be a bit sloppy to draw a conclusion like this, because there are many people in the world who hate someone they have never met before.

Don't believe it?

Zhan Hei, Ke Hei, all kinds of black people may never see him in their entire lives, but they can have extreme hatred for them.

However, similar examples are common in other industries.

Xie Hou thought Gibson's low mood had nothing to do with him, because the young man lowered his head throughout the whole process and his mental state was in extremely bad shape.

Therefore, Xie Hou was even more impressed by Gibson.

After a while, his attention was taken away by O'Neal Jr.

Like Kirilenko, he was reimbursed for the season, but he didn't look like he had just recovered from a serious injury.

He has become fatter.

It seems that during the long process of healing, he found another way of entertainment for himself, which is to eat.

His body was thicker than before.

I used to call him "Little O'Neal" in China. Starting today, I'm not going to remove the small words. You may disrespect him, but you must respect his fat body.

Xie Hou was not worried about his competitive state at all. It is hard to say how much energy he and Kirilenko still have, but he will definitely not be entrusted with important tasks at the beginning of the new season.

"Bulfighting?"

"I'm afraid of you?"

Xie Hou mentioned casually, and O'Neal agreed.

The two of them are not on the same level.

If their battle took place in the boxing ring, the ideal result for Xie Hou was not to be beaten to death.

Xie Hou still has a certain degree of confidence in bullfighting on the court.

It's too easy for him to attack O'Neal, just because he's afraid that he's crushed the defensive end.

It was O'Neal's turn to attack, and Xie Hou found that his defense was quite easy. Although the opponent's weight could easily knock him away and invade him violently.

Everything was fine before taking action.

O'Neal Jr.'s shooting was stiff, his hook was too short, and he couldn't make any force. Every attack was like a fist hitting a sponge. Xie Hou thought he was not in shape at first, but later he deliberately missed the ball on the offensive end, allowing O'Neal Jr. to attack.

During the repeated defenses, he found that O'Neal's lower limbs could not use any strength at all, giving people a feeling of softness.

At first, Xie Hou didn't understand. Later he understood.
Chapter completed!
