The NBA offseason has been a crazy night! Tatum signed a five-year, $315 million contract extension with the Celtics, the largest contract in NBA history.
Celtics White signed a four-year contract extension of 125.9 million, the team wisely retained the championship lineup, the Warriors signed guard Melton, Paul left, and the teams continued to sign reinforcements, and the pattern change is concerning.
On July 2, the NBA offseason news poured in, the most notable of which was that Klay Thompson, an All-Star guard of the Golden State Warriors, joined the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million contract.
The deal not only marks a new start in Klay's career, but also heralds another bold attempt for the Mavericks in their quest for a championship.
In order to get the three-point sharpshooter, the Mavericks did not hesitate to send potential star Josh Green and multiple draft picks, while the Warriors received valuable second-round picks and a trade exception, which reserved more possibilities for the future.
The Boston Celtics are undoubtedly one of the most notable teams.
Not only did they solidify their status as the powerhouses of the East, but they also made a splash in the offseason to lay a solid foundation for the team's future.
The team's core leader, Jayson Tatum, with his outstanding performance and unparalleled leadership, successfully signed a five-year contract worth up to $315 million.
This feat not only broke the NBA's all-time record, but also announced to the whole league the absolute trust and expectation of the Celtics.
Jaylen Brown followed in the footsteps of teammate Jayson Tatum and signed a contract extension worth up to $302 million, officially announcing that he and Tatum, the "Boston Twins", will be riding side by side in the NBA for a long time.
This sky-high contract is not only a recognition of Brown's personal talent and contributions, but also a firm belief in the future blueprint of Celtic management.
This duo can tear apart the opponent's defense in an instant on the court, bringing endless offensive firepower to the team.
Jaylen Brown's all-round skills, stable scoring ability and big heart performance at critical moments, complemented by Tatum's smart breakthrough and accurate projection, which together constitute the most dazzling scenery on the offensive end of the Green Shirts.
Defensively, they are also an iron gate to be reckoned with.
Brown's tenacious defense and excellent tackling ability, combined with Tatum's flexible positioning and defensive awareness, built a defensive line for the Celtics.
With the "Twin Stars" coming together, the future of Celtic is undoubtedly full of possibilities.
They are not only the cornerstone of the team's present and future, but also the key force that will lead the Green Shirts back to the top and compete for championships.
The Celtics have also wisely locked in another key player, Derrick White, on a four-year, $125.9 million contract extension, demonstrating the team's recognition of his value.
White has become an indispensable part of the team with his stable control ability and calm judgment at critical moments.
His stay in the team has made the Celtics' luxury squad more complete and the overall strength to a higher level.
Now, the Celtics are poised to embark on a new season with confidence, not only with the league's top roster, but also with a relentless desire and relentless pursuit of championships.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Clippers have undergone a seismic change in the offseason with the signing of James Harden, a former MVP winner who will bring new leadership and playmaking qualities to the Clippers.
In order to free up salary space, the Clippers had to reluctantly part with Paul George and sign young talents such as Kevin Porter Jr. and Jones Jr. in favor of them, and planned to send away Russell Westbrook and PJ Tucker to further improve the team structure.
This series of operations of the Clippers is undoubtedly laying a more solid foundation for the future championship road.
As the excitement of the NBA offseason gradually fades out of the eyes of fans, a new spark of passion is ignited on the green field of the European Cup.
In the clash between France and Belgium, the first half seemed like a well-orchestrated chess game, with players on both sides looking extremely cautious.
A delicate balance was struck between attack and defence, with few striking attacks tearing through opposition defences, and spectators on the sidelines waiting with bated breath for the moments that were about to take place.
Muani, who came on as a substitute, stepped into the field like an uninvited guest, full of enthusiasm and unfulfilled dreams.
In a seemingly ordinary attack, his shot did not directly threaten the goal, but was gently flicked like the hand of fate.
The ball unexpectedly made close contact with the Belgian player's body, and then slowly rolled into the corner of the goal in an uncanny trajectory, and a sudden own goal caused an uproar in the stadium, and the French team unexpectedly led 1-0.
This goal not only broke the deadlock on the field, but also seemed to be an invisible force that inspired the fighting spirit of the French team.
They took advantage of the lead and gradually took control of the tempo, while Belgium looked a little scrambling and struggled to regain their first-half steadyness.
With this dramatic own goal, France successfully crossed a hurdle and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the European Championship, and the clash between Portugal and Slovenia made every spectator's heart go to their throats.
The Slovenian team seemed to have magic, and their tactics were like a fine net, tightly shackling Portugal's once-unstoppable attacking line.
The two teams went back and forth in the regular 90 minutes, and then in extra-time, but neither team could find the back of the net, and the game was forced into a more exciting penalty shoot-out.
At this point, all eyes were on Cristiano Ronaldo, but sadly, the football superstar missed the woodwork with a shot that missed the woodwork at a crucial moment and failed to become the team's hero.
To add to the drama, the veteran Pepe also failed to withstand the pressure, and the penalty was also missed, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.
Just when everyone thought Portugal might be in the hands of Waterloo, their goalkeeper Costa stepped up and denied Slovenia penalties three times in a row.
With Costa's brave play, the Portuguese team won a 3-0 penalty shootout, an incredible reversal to advance, this victory is not only a battle of skill, but also a victory of will and faith.
After the game, the entire Portuguese team was immersed in revelry, knowing that this victory was not only an important stepping stone to higher glory, but also a huge morale boost for the whole team.
