2007 NBA Draft Pick #3

Two days later, on July 1st, a new month began, and with it, the real end of the NBA 06-07 season as the free agency market opened.

DeRozan and Harden returned to Compton together. After their 12th grade season ended, they had been busy participating in various competitions, and later went to San Antonio to watch the Finals before spending a week in Charlotte. It had been several months since they'd been home, and they were missing their mothers.

As for Zhang Yang, he had taken a few days of rest and was now ready to re-enter work mode, starting his off-season training!

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang attended the team's press conference.

Bickerstaff announced the end of his coaching career, and Rick Carlisle became the new head coach of the Bobcats.

The press conference was lively with many media outlets present.

The season that had just ended saw Bickerstaff on fire, crowned Best Manager, Best Coach, and Championship Head Coach all in one—a historical first!
