Both Chinese players were selected in the second round, and it was like a festival today for Chinese fans.

Zhou Qi's ranking was much lower than expected, and he was not selected by the Rockets until the total 43rd pick. Zhou Qi, who was training in Italy, had an online interaction with the CCTV5 studio. The "Big Devil" didn't feel depressed, could not hide his excitement, and covered his mouth and laughed.

Zhou Qi's draft pick is lower than expected. This is not because of the deterioration of the current Chinese market environment, but because of his strength. He has no dominance in CBA, and there was also an age fraud storm before the draft. This is his payment for the fraud of Chinese basketball in the past.

The Rockets' selection of Zhou Qi looks more like a temporary idea rather than careful planning, so even Zhou Qi's draft team is surprised. The Rockets have business considerations, but this kind of expectation is not as big as Chinese fans imagine. Zhou Qi will not log in to the NBA next season.

Previously, there was news that the Xinjiang team agreed to accept the NBA team's purchase of Zhou Qi's contract for $650,000 to complete the transfer. However, what many people don't know is that this clause will only take effect after Zhou Qi is selected in the first round. If he is selected in the second round, the buyout fee will have to be renegotiated and the price will be higher.

The second round rookie is higher than the first round, and the logic of the Xinjiang team management is so nonsense.

Wang Zhelin was only selected by the Grizzlies in the 57th place. Rookies at this position are generally difficult to sign, and fans have nothing to be happy about.

Many people hope that China will have Yao Ming’s successor and become the NBA All-Star, but it is rare to see a center like Yao Ming. China may not be able to have a second place in 50 years. The strength of these young players in China is far from that of Yi Jianlian, and fans are destined to be disappointed.

On July 1, the NBA summer free market officially opened, and all teams were in a state of crazy.

The momentum of the bosses of each team is amazing. The contract renewal and the players they sign are all huge contracts, creating the NBA's history of signing amounts.

Any free agent with a name in the league can get an annual salary of about 20 million yuan. Ordinary role players have also ushered in a good opportunity to raise their salary, and have been rushing to buy it in a round of crazy ways. If the role player does not sign a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, he is embarrassed to say that he has played NBA.

The bosses will never do a losing deal. The reason why there are so many large contracts is inseparable from the increase in the NBA salary cap. If you make more money, you will get the players according to the labor-management agreement.

As early as 10 years ago, the NBA salary cap was only 53.13 million US dollars. However, with the acceleration of the pace of NBA internationalization, more and more foreign funds began to flow into the alliance, and the broadcast contracts were greatly improved.

This summer, a TV broadcast contract worth $24 billion has begun to be implemented, further pushing up the overall revenue level of NBA. At present, it is initially predicted that the average value of NBA teams has reached $1 billion. In the future, the big cake of NBA may become bigger and bigger, as long as Adam Xiao Hua is not cheated to death because of counterfeiting.

Matt Smith is very grateful to Guo Xu. He only bought the Warriors for a few years and the team's value doubled.

Guo Xu frequently makes headlines, and many people think that NBA has become more profitable than rugby NFL, which has a direct relationship with him.

Even American economists are studying Guo Xu's commercial value, believing that he has directly or indirectly spawned hundreds of billions of dollars. The business he controls himself has formed a terrifying industrial chain, involving film and television entertainment, catering, sports, electronic products, tourism and other aspects.

In short, the situation of "more wolfs and fewer meats" in the NBA market will not fundamentally change. As long as a player can play in the NBA and he becomes a free agent at the right time, it will not be difficult for him to get a satisfactory contract.

According to forecasts, the league's salary cap will continue to soar in the next four years, and may even reach US$112 million by the 2020-21 season. As long as the labor and capital do not break up in the next few years, a larger contract will inevitably be born in the market, and the annual salary of top stars is possible with a top star 50 million.

In previous years, when teams recruit big-name players, they can still gain the lead through price wars. Nowadays, salary is no longer the primary issue for stars to consider, and it is easier for stars to join forces.

This year, the NBA free market was completely like "silly people, more money, come quickly". On the first day of its opening, it spent 1.735 billion yuan, and 5 billion yuan gentlemen were born. Among the 28 players who received the contract, 21 were in the tens of millions, which was the craziest free agent market in NBA history.

The Grizzlies' contract renewal of point guard Mike Conley for 5 years and 153 million yuan has become the largest contract in history. Fans think this is too nonsense. Not only does he have no dominance, he cannot rank in the top five in point guards, and his personal ability is at most equal to Billups back then.

The Wizards renewed their contract with Bradley Bill for 128 million in five years. He averaged only 17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season.

The Lakers renewed Al Horford's contract for 140 million yuan in five years and his annual salary is close to 30 million yuan. His data is not very beautiful. He has never scored more than 20 points per game in his single season in his career. The contract offered by the Lakers is very sincere.

Nicholas Batum renewed the Hornets for 5 years and $120 million, Chandler Parsons signed the Grizzlies for 4 years and $94.8 million, and Ryan Anderson joined the Rockets for 4 years and $80 million, all of which were premium contracts.

Nets center Dwight Howard jumped out of the contract and signed the Hawks for 70.5 million in three years. In addition, the Hawks also renewed the contract for 70 million in four years and 70 million in four years.

Even Solomon Hill can sign 52 million with the Pelicans for 4 years, which is incredible.

The Lakers' second draw brought Dwyane Wade, with a contract of less than 2 years and 16 million.

Although Wade did not get a basic salary, he actually cut his salary because he came to hug his legs. He had already been reduced by the Nets last season and could not get too much from the Lakers. With his average average of 18+4+4 last season, according to the overall market of the NBA, if he went to weak teams, there must be a team willing to offer him an annual salary of 15 million to 20 million.

The Lakers' third signing was Durant for a two-year contract of 54.3 million, and the second year was the player option. This is called the largest free signing this summer, and it is super cost-effective. Durant has a significant salary cut.

The fans on the Internet were in an uproar. Many people said that Durant surrendered to the enemy and was shameless. James and others proudly said that James also had no championship and entered the league earlier than Durant, but he did not think about going to hug Guo Xu's thigh.

Little did they know that James wanted to join forces with Guo Xu, but it was difficult to leave the Nets. Howard left the salary space for him, and he wanted to recruit Durant, but the Lakers took Adu first.

After seeing the news, James was depressed and didn't fall asleep all night. In the hot summer, his heart was like a cold winter night.

Durant held a press conference to show off his new jersey, and by the way he showed off his low emotional intelligence and poor language expression skills.

He said: "In the past few weeks, I have faced the most difficult choices in my career. I know that I am at a crossroads, and as a player or a man, I have to make a choice. The premise of finally making this decision is the future prospects and potential, and I have to make sure I am in the right direction. In the new stage of life, I have to seize opportunities, not be conservative, but challenge myself in a new city and new environment, and make myself progress. With such an idea in mind, I decided to join the Lakers."

Finally Durant concluded: "There is no shortcut to go, this is the most difficult road."

When Durant said this, the whole world laughed at him, and some fans mocked him: "It's really difficult to win on your own."
