While Wang Jun's national team was training, several big-name stars in the NBA 2003 renewed their contracts in advance.````

Anthony stayed in Denver for 80 million in five years and failed to be selected into the All-Star Game. The Nuggets management still recognized his strength.

James renewed his contract with the Cavaliers for three years and 60 million, and combined with the last year of his rookie contract, he will become a free agent in 2010, which is two years less than the maximum five-year $80 million conditions the Cavaliers can offer.

James explained: "We did a renewal research. According to the signing method, renewal first and then signing a new contract within four years will allow me to get the most profit."

In fact, it is not just a matter of profit. James is not satisfied with the team's summer signings. After Larry Hughes arrived, it was difficult for the Cavaliers to find a qualified second-in-command.

James hopes that the team can trade Hughes, but who wants this bad contract? Even if a team is willing to ask for it, it will be difficult to get a useful person. It is probably another garbage contract.

He sees the problem very far and is beyond his age, so he leaves a way out for himself. If he can't lead the Cavaliers to win the championship in 2010, he has to consider leaving the Cavaliers to join a strong team. He hopes to leave his name in the history of the league and must have a championship, not leaving a loyal evaluation in a bad team.

Another heavyweight trade occurred in the East, and the Bucks sent point guard TJ Ford to Toronto in exchange for Raptors forward Charlie Villanueva.

After a season-and-a-half due to a serious spinal injury, Ford played 72 games last season, averaging 122 points per game and a team's highest 66 assists. As a high-ranking rookie in the 2003 Golden Generation, he is very strong, but has hidden dangers of injury.

As long as Ford is not injured, the Raptors will definitely rise. The Bucks will find that they have introduced a big man who is not defensive and has been tricked.

Then, Wade signed a three-year contract like James, and could become a free agent at the same time in 2010. Considering that the two had a very good relationship, it attracted endless imagination.

Fringeman point guard Janero Pago was poached by the Hawks, and the Bulls currently have only nine left with contracts.

The good news is that veteran Gary Payton decided to join the Bulls with a veteran minimum salary in order to win the championship ring at the end of his career.

When Jordan was there, Payton and the Bulls were famous enemies. Now they were forced to join the team and were desperate. He didn't think that keeping the Heat could get the ring and fail to follow O'Neal. He didn't want to retire as regretfully as Reggie Miller, Kal Malone and others.

The Heat's point guard position has become weaker, due to the overwhelming salary space. Riley cannot find strong men in the free market, and weakness is a foregone conclusion.

After signing Payton, Paxson no longer rushes to sign people in the free market.

Ryan Hughes analyzed to Wang Jun that the Bulls will definitely not spend a high price to poach people, but will wait until the beginning of the preseason to choose among those who come to ask for contracts and play preseasons, so that they can better see their strength.

If Lewis renews his contract in the future, plus Chandler's tens of millions of contract, Wang Jun's third-year contract. If the Bulls want to sign another person with an annual salary of about tens of millions of yuan, other players will have to pay basic salaries.

Therefore, Rollden, Hinrich, and David and Li may only be able to stay one. Last season, the Bulls set off a youth storm. Unfortunately, beauty is short-lived, interests are eternal, and as a manager, you must think of a way out.

In the second half of July, the Chinese men's basketball team began to go out to practice and play warm-up matches again.

The men's basketball team has entered the series of warm-ups since June 10. The China-Australia confrontation was 2 wins and 1 loss, and 2 wins and 4 losses in the Italian Four Nations Invitational Tournament.

This time, the French Four Nations Championship has made 2 wins and 1 loss, which has made significant progress.

After Wang Jun participated in the joint training, Yunas realized the importance of defending the pick-and-roll. The number 4 must be fast, and the opponent's off-ball run could not be restricted by relying solely on joint defense. The previous loss to Italy was 23 points and the loss to Lithuania was 21 points.

The Chinese men's basketball team lost five games in Europe, and Italy is not the strongest lineup. It exposes many issues that need to be urgently solved.

The team's setback before the competition may not be a bad thing, and problems can be found. Work hard to improve in future training and competitions.

Wang Jun and Yunas chatted, and suggested using Du Feng and Sun Yue to play small ball tactics. Yao Ming was the one who guarded the basket in the inside, and rotated the outside and defended three-pointers.

The Chinese team is good at defending the inside rather than the outside, and only loses to South Korea in the Asian Games. China's biggest weakness is not what many people say is that the defender is afraid of pressing in the frontcourt, but rather is to defend against pick-and-roll badly.

Wang Jun participated in three games, had little playing time, and performed very well. When he played against France, he defeated Pitrus, who was known as France Jordan, and led the team to victory.

If he doesn't double-team Wang Jun, he will score himself. Double-team Wang Jun, Wang Zhizhi and Wang Shipeng, two old Wang family members, made three-pointers in a row. Yao Ming was injured while in the Rockets and did not participate in the European friendly match in order to maintain his condition, the Chinese team still reserved it.

After the game, fans all believed that the Chinese team's attacking power was much higher than in 2004. How could there be such a fierce attack point on the outside by relying on Yao Ming? Now, even without Yao Ming, you can beat the European team.

After the French semi-finals, the Stankovic Cup was held in China again in early August.

Six teams from Greece, Germany, France, Brazil, China and Australia participated, and Yao Ming also made a comeback this time.

The Chinese team lost to Greece and Brazil, defeated Australia, Germany and France, and achieved 3 wins and 2 losses. People are more convinced that this Chinese men's basketball team has super attack power and is the strongest ever and is not afraid of European teams.

France has no good idea to fight Wang Jun this time, and Yao's inside lineman has obvious advantages in singles. The two took turns to create singles opportunities for the opponent, attracting double-teams to pass the ball, and teammates took action again.

The men's basketball team lost badly in two games. For Brazil, Barbosa's speed caused great trouble for the Chinese inside line, which beat Liu Wei.

Greece ranked first, but lost to France, which was not so strong that it was unsolvable.

Yao Ming completely had the upper hand against Greece's "No. 1 European center" Vasireatis. Wang Jun nicknamed "Bey Kobe" and Spanoris, who "killed Bill", was the core shooting guard Dai Amantidis, and the core shooting guard was even more amazing.

It’s just that the No. 1 position was so badly beaten by Papalucas, that China lost 14 points.

Papalucas is known as the "strongest organizational guard outside the NBA", nicknamed "European King". He led the CSKA Moscow to win the European Championships and the Russian League championship many times. He is the "most valuable player" in the semi-finals of the European Basketball League, the 2005 European Cup champion and MVP. The only regret is that this person did not go to the NBA, otherwise his achievements would not be low.

China also played two warm-ups with the United States.

The US roster is full of stars. Wang Jun and Yao Ming control their playing time, and they lost badly in both games. The good news is that the team has highlights. Young player Chen Jianghua performed well and had an amazing speed. He had a fast break layup in the backcourt, leaving Paul and Wade behind.

Chen Jianghua's shooting averagely, his ability to fight poorly, and at least his speed is very impressive. He can be used as a surprise weapon. Chinese locals are also geniuses.

On the 15th, the warm-up exercise was over, and the Chinese men's basketball team was preparing to go to Japan.

The 15th World Men's Basketball Championship will be opened on the 19th. The Chinese men's basketball team will play against Italy for the first time, and then face the United States, Puerto Rico, Senegal and Slovenia respectively. The top four in the group advanced to the top 16.
