Most of the young players of the Supersonics are very ambitious, but they are very dissatisfied with their current position, so Parker is the one who is very unhappy.

When Parker was traded to the Grizzlies, his former teammates were very happy to know that he was clearly happy.

This made some teammates who were originally reluctant to leave and feel that it was better to wish you a blessing.

More than a half seasons have passed, and teammates have actually felt their dissatisfaction with the status quo from Parker for a long time.

It is understandable. After all, Parker's treatment in the team is average. Since Kirilianko's rookie season, it has been very clear that Ben Wallace's substitute, and Chandler is also Zhang Hao's substitute. Parker is the substitute among substitutes in the rookie season.

In the new season, Ginobili also relies on his more mature playing style and has relatively stable playing time.

However, when Parker was traded, his teammates felt somewhat "betrayed". After learning about Parker's reaction, his teammates felt that they were gone...

It's more about letting go.

They have played until now this season, and they have two clear strong points on the offensive end, Zhang Hao and Kassel.

The defense is good enough, but the offensive problem has always been relatively big, and the third truly clear strong point cannot be found.

Artest's offensive strength averaged about 15 points per game, Parker was slightly worse, and then Ginobili and Brent Barry averaged 10 points per game.

The Supersonics and Raptors have been in a day or two, and the signs that have appeared in the team have also made some players expect it.

Everyone knows the person who is most likely to be traded in the team. It is just that before the transaction is completed, everyone else is likely to lose the few players.

Now that the deal is really completed, the top player who can average 17 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks in the second grade finally has a third clear and strong point on the offensive end.

And now that the All-Star Weekend is over, there should be no more deals, and the Supersonics players are much less worried.

...

"Lamar Odom, 23 years old, 208 cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 84 (?)... This season, the Raptors played 29 games and 25 games, averaging 33 minutes of playing time, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks... The shooting percentage is 42.9%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 31.6%..."

Zhang Hao looked at Odom's player detection report who was undergoing the test and felt... it was so miserable.

‘I looked at it last season. I played 80 games, averaging 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, and averaging 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 assists, and I was a little diving... Then I was disliked by the Raptors this year and wanted to send it away? Or did I want to renew my contract with a price limit so I lowered my playing time and performance opportunities?

It also has something to do with himself. If Odom was as active and competitive as the two Davises in the past, the Raptors would probably have renewed the contract with the right one.’

Zhang Hao was watching Odom's test, and almost all the players of the Supersonics were watching.

The transaction was obtained by Odom and Foster, who bought out the latter's Supersonics team after the transaction, freeing up the position, which also allowed the latter to find the next job as soon as possible.

Odom's test and physical examination were completed after Odom arrived in Seattle yesterday. Today, the physical test and technical test were conducted.

The test direction Odom conducted was mainly related to the point guard.

The Supersonics players were not surprised by which direction Odom conducted the test, but were surprised by the test itself!

From various tests, the Supersonics players feel about Odom, a new teammate... Except for Zhang Hao, no one in the team can compare with Odom's talent!

Some players' talents are really visible to the naked eye.

Even though Parker was traded, the rest of the team were relieved.

Although Parker is not strong now, his talent is incomparable to the three positions of the Supersonics, except Artest, and other young players, including Kirilianko, so at first most teammates thought that Kirilianko or Chandler might be sent away, after all, the team lacks people on the outside.

But since Parker was traded away, it means that the team is likely to not move the frontcourt players.

At this time, the teammates were worried that after Odom came, who would be squeezed out of the position.

But seeing Odom's technique, physical talent, all this...it seems that no matter who is squeezed out...

...

"Oh, yo, I didn't expect that we would come together again, so that my career will be full of meaning..."

"Lamar Your arrival means that the champion will come again, and we will definitely win the next battle..."

Seattle Singing and Dance Rap Group has added another strong support!

Odom's test made the Supersonics extremely satisfied in every aspect.

If you don't consider Odom's legendary 30 minutes of playing field, only 20 minutes of distracted mind, 10 minutes of distracted mind, and 5 minutes of concentration... With the remaining 10 minutes of sleepwalking, the only active player that the Supersonics coaching team can think of is Zhang Hao.

At the beginning, I just tried to let Odom conduct a point guard test, which was perfect, almost the top level. I couldn't help but test the shooting guard position in the back, and it was also first-class, small forward, top, power forward, top, center, first-class...

It was an hour or two test, but I had an afternoon of work.

There were really many people around and watched for an afternoon!

After Odom's test, Artest and Odom came together to rap with passionate rap.

Zhang Hao watched Odom's test for a while and went to training. He felt that this was not very meaningful. Odom had 10 minutes of concentration in the game, thank God.

But as long as you are not distracted and can perform at an average first-class level, this transaction is profitable at the moment and can bring improvement to their championship.

But looking at Artest and Odom...

Zhang Hao asked strangely: "Ron, Lamar, do you know each other?"

"Of course." Odom made a po-colored look and made eight gestures in front of his chin.

"We are high school teammates!" Artest also showed off his muscles.

Suddenly, the two of them were silent. Odom finally realized for a while: "Ron, Elton is not here, no one said the following sentence!"

“Start again…”

Zhang Hao looked at the two living treasures, the black line at one end, and after watching them play with them, he learned that Artest, Odom and Brand were high school classmates.

"You are high school classmates? Ron, I met Lamar and I also met in High School and played games together. Why didn't you come here when you are high school classmates?"

"I was only 15 years old at that time, and I can't come!"

"He is only 15 years old."

"Can I compare with him? He is a New York magician! I almost didn't go to college."

"Oh...what about Brand? If Kobe had entered the NBA earlier, Brand should have been the first pick, why is he not there?"

"Boss, you hurt me, don't you ask me how I got into college later, how I became a first-round pick, and how I became an NBA?"

"I don't know how you got into college, but I chose you as the first round pick."

"...Boss, let's go back to the question just now. Elton was the worst, fattest and slowest among the three of us at that time, but then he went to Duke and had his skills done."

Zhang Hao nodded and understood. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and turned around to look... Odom looked at several division champions, regular season champions, and playoff Western Conference champion flags distracted...

After a moment of speechlessness, Zhang Hao suddenly had an idea and asked, "Ron, who do you think is the best of the three geniuses in Lasal High School?"

"Boss, can you not be so obvious when you sow discord?"

“Is there any?”

"Yes... But Lamar has always been the strongest and most perfect one. He is better than Elton's inside and better than me on the outside. I really feel annoying if I think about it..."

This is really a good relationship... Zhang Hao said: "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of Lamar."

"I just said that if it was Lamar, he would be willing to give it up, but I probably would have to..."

Before Artest finished speaking, Odom suddenly came to his senses and said, "No, I have discussed with the coaching staff and I will hit the sixth person."

"ah?"

Zhang Hao and Artest were both surprised.

Odom said: "I talked to my agent, I don't have to worry about my strength. I now want to let the management of each team know that I am not only talented and capable, but also a player who can accept the team's arrangements and have a good personality. This is the last half season of my rookie contract. The first three and a half seasons showed my talent. Now I have to show some other things. The data cannot help me get a bigger contract, and other aspects are possible.

Before I came, the Raptors agreed to communicate with my agent and our team's management and coaching staff, and determined the way they played after joining the game before completing the transaction."

Zhang Hao and Artest made a "Oh" sound at the same time, and they both turned into Doudou eyes... "Is this person honest? Or is he really not very good at brains?"

...

...

On February 11, the league's game side resumed operations.

The curtain call for this year's regular season is April 20, which means there are 69 game days left. Each team will play 34 games in these 69 days.

The Supersonics' first match in the second half of the season is the Western Conference giant Sacramento Kings.

The home game is of great help to some errands after the Supersonics introduced Odom.

In the morning tactical meeting, Doug Collins announced that Odom will be on the bench in the next game of the season.

Although other players except Zhang Hao, including Ben Wallace, all said in an interview that as long as Odom wants to play center, he will give up his position.

But in fact, it is the best not to let go. The supersonic team has cooperated well and is very powerful.

The weak point of the Supersonics has always been the strength of the substitute lineup.

There are many substitutes, but their strength has always been average.

Young means young.

Even if they are as strong as O'Neal and Garnett, they are not able to lead the team to win in the first and second grades, let alone Parker, Ginobili, Kirilenko, Chandler and others.

It is clear that it is possible to introduce Odom to enhance the strength of the substitute lineup, which is naturally good.

Odom was indeed ‘true’. His teammates asked him if he would be unhappy when he was playing as a substitute. He said many times to Zhang Hao and Artest... He could say ‘I am willing to sacrifice for the championship’, but he told the truth and was exposed by the source...

‘In order to get a bigger contract, I am willing to show my selflessness’.
