Chapter 397 [Meet on Santa Catalina Island]
While Wang Jun is practicing football, the teams are also strengthening in the free market.
The Rockets signed the Grizzlies with 22 million in four years and the inside player Swift. If this guy only reads the highlights, he is a superstar. The gods descended to earth and are unstoppable.
In fact, he can do almost nothing except dunk. He gives him a step of space and never makes a layup if he can dunk. Perhaps the reason why he got this big contract was that he had dunked Yao Ming.
The Bucks signed Bobby Simmons for 47 million in five years. This guy only scored 16.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals in his contract year, but his annual salary was nearly 10 million.
It is said that the Bucks management competed with him and Richard Jefferson, but they ignored that Jefferson could not trade now, and the swinger was not worth the money at all.
The next day, a shocking deal broke out in the free market. Five teams including the Heat, Grizzlies, Jazz, Celtics and Hornets jointly completed the largest deal in league history, involving a total of 13 players.
The scale exceeded the 12-person deal in the 2000s involving the exchange of Ewing. The Associated Press used the word "explosion" to describe its sensation.
All teams achieved the goal of a major change of blood. The Heat obtained the signing rights of Anthony Walker (Celtics), Jason Williams (Grizzlies), James Percy (Grizzlies), Andrew Imet (Grizzlies), and Roberto Dunners (Hornets).
Many experts believe that the Heat are going to win the championship, and this time they are the big winners.
Although Percy is not as good as Jones in offense, he is a good defensive player, able to shoot three-pointers and not grab the ball.
Walker is a power forward who can open up space, attacks and defends with Haslem, and can also play a guest center to play small ball tactics, and has strengthened his strength at the No. 4 position.
"White Chocolate" Williams is definitely stronger than Damon Jones.
The Heat have also introduced pitcher Jason Capono and veteran Gary Payton, plus veteran Mourning, and substitute strength is also good.
The Grizzlies get Eddie Jones (Heat), Raul Lopez (Jaw).
Eddie Jones suspected that he was cursed. Once the team saw hope for winning the championship, he was traded, as if sending him away was a necessary part of the championship. He didn't want to go to the Grizzlies...
The Celtics got Curtis Burchart (Jaws), Quinte Woods (Heat), Albert Mirarez (Heat) and two next-round draft picks (Heat).
The Celtics exchanged Walker for three marginal people, plus two draft picks who may have chosen marginal people, and their brotherhood with the Heat are touching. They also fought for the Heat to win the championship.
Jazz changed from Grizzlies to "Big White Bear" Ostertag.
The Hornets got Rassu Butler (Heat), Cork Sidney (Jaw). They were slightly strengthened.
The competitors have become stronger, the Nets still have nothing in the free market, and the Celtics also poached "White Mamba" Scala Bryan with a five-year, 15 million contract.
Nets fans scolded the management, but this had nothing to do with Wang Jun.
Abby went to Cleveland to interview NFL's Browns. NFL started in August and the Super Bowl in February. Abby not only had to interview basketball, but also focus on football games.
She proposed to transfer to Chicago and work as a team reporter for the Bulls. Espn did not agree for the time being, saying that the handover must be completed in Cleveland.
Next season, I will send someone to work with her. As long as I can adapt, I will consider letting Abby go to Chicago. It will take some time to adjust there, not just transfer it.
At the end of August, Wang Jun and Curry finished their training.
He was going to Los Angeles, and Charlize Theron finally returned home after filming the movie "The Magician".
The two often contacted each other by phone, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
When participating in "The Rapid Forward", Theron did not call. Although he did not express his attitude, Wang Jun guessed that she must be angry.
Theron works hard abroad and shows his love on the show with high profile. If the media knows about their relationship in the future, they will definitely regard Theron as a mistress, which would be so shameless.
Wang Jun arrived in Los Angeles at night, and then took a boat to Santa Catalina Island in the early morning.
The island is located on the west coast of the United States, starting from the Long Beach port in Los Angeles. It can be reached within an hour's voyage. Although it is a popular tourist attraction, its population is always around 3,000. There are botanical gardens on the island, dolphins or whales can be seen by the sea, as well as some sports activities, kayaking, diving, etc.
Wang Jun and Theron made an appointment to meet here in order to avoid reporters.
"Paparazzi" will stare at Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Staples Center, and will only take a boat to Santa Catalina Island unless you receive news and have any major news.
When Wang Jun came for the first time, he found that the vehicles people driving on the island were different from other places, all of which were strange golf carts. The beach was small and the streets were several, which were very quiet.
He didn't walk far and saw the car rental site. Four-seaters are $40 per hour, two hours are $80, and there is no additional charge for more than two hours.
Wang Jun found the resort and saw Theron in a cool summer outfit. His short hair was dyed black and he looked more beautiful.
"Charlie, long time no see."
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. Seeing you and Abby attending the reality show, I almost forgot about me, right?" Theron said sourly.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, I chose to go to Germany to make movies. But I heard that the Clippers gave you a maximum salary, why didn't you choose the team in Los Angeles?" Theron leaned on the sofa, curled his legs, and asked lazily.
Her posture is very sexy, but Wang Jun knows it is not the time to appreciate it, so he explains it in detail. "Because the Clippers are a bad team, and the situation is too similar to the Nets in New York..."
Seeing him seriously, Theron smiled and said, "You passed the exam, Chicago is really good. I started watching basketball with knowing the Bulls, and that urban environment is also suitable for living."
Among the cities in the United States, Chicago can rank third, second only to Los Angeles and New York in the NBA, and the Bulls market is not comparable to that of the Clippers.
As the largest city in the Great Lakes region, Chicago is a famous big market. Houston, where Yao Ming is located, is developing very quickly and has to be ranked behind Chicago.
Wang Jung-gun breathed a sigh of relief, Theron asked again: "Will Abby follow you to Chicago next season?"
"No, Espn or let her be in Cleveland, maybe in a year."
"Then I won't film next year, how about living in Chicago with you?" Theron asked with a smile.
"Ah?" Wang Jun was stunned.
Theron has been working hard in recent years. It is normal for filming one after another. Two movies a year. Suddenly, he said he would not shoot it anymore and wanted to be with him. How could he not be flattered?
"Are you unhappy? Or do you think I will affect your life?" Theron frowned and said quietly: "If you like me, we will break up. Anyway, there is no way outside knows our relationship."
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean that, I just felt a little surprised." Wang Jun hurriedly took Theron's hand and said.
"Then let me go with you. I won't go out and I promise not to let the reporter know." Theron showed a sly smile.
