When they saw Vince Carter's dunk after flying directly over Frederick Weiss, Meng Xu's blood spurted. Zhang was amazed.

And a few hours after the game between the US team and the French team, the Sydney Olympic Games officially ended. After participating in the closing ceremony, after the communication between the Spurs management and the Basketball Association, Meng Xu did not return to China to participate in those tedious activities. Instead of the celebration ceremony, they returned directly to San Antonio from Sydney to start preparing for the NBA regular season that will start at the end of October.

At the end of the Sydney Olympics, this year's soap opera about Tim Duncan finally came to an end. Finally, when Grant Hill decided to join the Magic, Duncan broke up with the Magic's management because of an air ticket problem. In a fit of anger Duncan returned to San Antonio.

After Tim Duncan successfully renewed his contract, the Spurs and Avery Johnson also reached a contract extension later, with a five-year $5 million contract. This is basically Avery Johnson's last contract.After Tim Duncan and Avery Johnson renewed their contracts one after another, in order for the team to renew Tim Duncan's Avery Johnson this season, David Robinson, who jumped out of the contract, finally signed a 2500 with the Spurs. $3 million a year contract.In order for the team to have enough salary space to renew Tim Duncan, David Robinson gave up his annual salary of 3000 million US dollars this season and chose to jump out of the contract. David Robinson also hopes to sign the last contract of his career with the Spurs. It is said that David Robinson's request is only 1470 million in three years, but this contract was rejected by the Spurs management. Even if it is the last pension contract, the Spurs management hopes that David Robinson can get the dignity and decency he deserves.Therefore, the Spurs' management also gave David Robinson a contract that had been prepared long ago, 3 years and 1000 million US dollars, but the final contract period was increased from two years to three years.

After the two biggest fishes in the free market this season finally decided where to go, after Tim Duncan and Grant Hill, Tracy McCready also announced to join the Magic, and will form the strongest guard in the league with Grant Hill field combination.

At the same time, during the offseason of this season, a major deal broke out in the NBA. This deal was that the Houston Rockets made themselves a star, and the Houston banner Hakeem Olajuwon was sent to the Toronto Raptors. Affected by injuries, Olajuwon's number of appearances and playing time are the least in his career. At the same time, Olajuwon's data has also declined appallingly. During the season, the Rockets' management chose to trade Olajuwon, and the bargaining chips for the trade were only two draft picks.

And as soon as this deal was exposed by the media, there was an uproar immediately. Although everyone in the NBA shouted "This is just a business." But Olajuwon was the first to play for a team Players who were traded after 16 years.Regarding the inside story of this transaction, several parties are unwilling to mention it, but there are still some good media digging up some information. Due to Olajuwon's age is gradually increasing, and the team's management is affected by injuries. The management also hopes that he can retreat to the second line and assist Francis and Mobley with peace of mind, but Olajuwon said that he can still fight.Another point is that the 2-year-old Olajuwon hopes to renew a decent pension contract with the Rockets, and then retire from Houston after the contract ends, but affected by the salary cap, the Rockets are only willing to provide Olajuwon A three-year contract of 37 million, after many wranglings, the Rockets increased the contract amount to 3 million, and said that it could not be more, but Olajuwon felt that this contract was undoubtedly an insult to himself.When Olajuwon saw the new contract signed by his old buddy David Robinson and the Spurs, Olajuwon decided to leave the team in a fit of anger.
