568. The great change of the alliance, the storm rises (6000 words)(2/2)
But when you think about it carefully, their Supersonics team's appearance seems to be getting worse and worse.
At this time, Zhang Hao's phone rang, answered it, responded a few words, and gave no suggestions, just listened.
"Brother, what did dad say?" The little loli saw that it was her father's call.
"The deal with the Bulls has changed. Don't want their first round picks, you need one more player."
"Because I didn't choose this...this...this second alien uncle?"
"right……"
Then, the Supersonics were originally going to come back from the Bulls to choose Josh Howard's 24th pick, and the Bulls themselves chose a 198-centimeter forward guard swingman Deng Tai Jones...
At the 29th pick in the first round, the Timberwolves, the league's "pardon" Timberwolves, had adopted a proposal to return the two first round draws in 2003 and 2005 to the Timberwolves by voting before this year's draft lottery. The Supersonics' first round last pick, which was originally 28th pick, became the 29th pick.
The Supersonics used their first round 29 pick to choose Keller Kelver, a 22-year-old college graduate from Criton University.
This made a big upset, and Keller Korver predicted that he would lose the election.
But the last pick in the first round is OK, and the Supersonics have attracted much attention in this position. In 2001, the Grizzlies were ready to be the core of the ball.
Josh Howard, the Mavericks should be determined to win. The prediction of Josh Howard's draft pick that Zhang Hao saw is the 10th pick in the second round, and the 40th pick in the total. Originally, the Mavericks selected him at the 29th pick in time and space, and the 22nd pick here are all downstream draft picks in the first round, which means they must be obtained no matter what.
But another...
In the second round, the 29th pick and 58th pick, the Supersonics selected Wesley Person's junior, Marquis Daniels of Auburn University!
The little loli held Tiga with her left hand and Gagula with her right hand, and watched the talent show with Zhang Hao.
When I saw Korver, I was quite satisfied.
But when I saw Marquez Daniels, I thought about Josh Howard who I planned to choose before, and then I thought about Kassel, the team’s beauty representative...
The little loli said with her breasts on Tiga's head, "Tiga, you can't be like your father. You have to be very confident in your appearance. If you look so much like your father, you must be very good-looking."
Tiga looked at Marquez Daniels' face on TV, thought for a while, and said weakly: "Auntie, is it possible that this player is actually very powerful?"
"There are so many great players, why is our team particularly ugly?"
As the young lady of the team, Lelin Schultz is very worried about this!
The two young men in the family, the older ones, should have to go to the stadium to play more if they grow up.
But the overall appearance of the team is getting more and more popular, and it is said that children can easily look like they look like... This is a bit scary!
...
...
The Supersonics actually don’t have a clear goal in this year’s draft, and there are a lot of uncertainties this summer.
But this year's draft will have a characteristic that most draft picks have been analyzed thoroughly!
Whether it is what Zhang Hao remembers or has seen with his own eyes, all the top geniuses have been selected in the lottery area.
Those with All-Star talent are all in the first round, and there are almost no All-Star level beads in the second round.
Even if the Korver that Zhang Hao wanted was originally selected as an All-Star at the age of 34 in time and space, he actually did not have the strength of an All-Star.
A player with an All-Star talent, the last player Zhang Hao remembers in the 2003 is Josh Howard.
But the Mavericks took the lead and took Josh Howard away.
However, Korver and Marquez Daniels are not bad either. The former has been trained for one or two years and is a first-class catcher pitcher. The latter Zhang Hao remembers that his immediate combat ability is very good and he can directly take the position of the second point guard.
Arroyo still has to be used with caution, just like Ginobili did last season.
That is, last season's playoffs, the sword took a wrong move and used an iron-blooded style, otherwise it would still be difficult to play.
The purpose of playing iron-blooded style is to avoid the instability of many young players.
There are not many beads outside the first round of the 2003rd, and I got two, so I was very satisfied with this draft.
According to experience, there is no need to consider the draft in the next two years.
Zhang Hao's mentality is very relaxed. He has won three consecutive championships. He is worried that the core players of the team will be too tired next season, and that the other teams will strengthen greatly in the new season... It doesn't exist... There are not so many worries. He has won three consecutive championships, so just enjoy this summer.
When dealing with things, we always think about the good side. Even if we think about the bad side, we cannot reverse the major trend that will definitely appear.
For example, for the Supersonics, which have won three consecutive championships, this summer, the intention of veterans and high-quality free agents is obviously insufficient.
Physical fatigue is actually not that important, what is important is psychological fatigue.
Winning the championship for three consecutive years and playing more than 100 games for three consecutive years... Anyone will have many concerns about the team that has won three consecutive championships.
Zhang Hao is mentally prepared for this.
After winning the championship again, he has been doing psychological construction for himself, and should not affect his mood because of too many things that have happened this summer.
There will definitely be an impact, but it must be controlled within a certain range...
...
After the draft, Zhang Hao also began to resume training and had a rest for two weeks. It was time to train and work.
On June 30, the day before the free market opened, O'Neal came to Zhang Hao's house.
"Aix, I signed a 5-year, 100 million contract with the Heat. Hahaha, my total salary in my career is 300 million!"
“…”
Looking at the proud O'Neal, Zhang Hao was quite envious...
Salary, for players who are worthy of a large contract, the salary represents a problem of face.
It was really unhappy, Zhang Hao couldn't help but spray venom: "I'm so happy to be traded."
"There's no way. Old Bass doesn't want to give me another 100 million. I almost thought I was going to be traded to the Timberwolves. Thanks to the Celtics. One day I'll go there to play and try it out."
"You have signed a five-year contract, and you are renewing the contract until 2010? Then you can retire directly. If you are still changing teams at that age, you can only be a role player."
"It makes sense, but you were 33 years old at that time? If we don't have time, we will play in the Lakers again?"
"..." Zhang Hao was silent for a while and asked, "Mr. O'Neal, why don't you start playing casually because you can get 150 million in the next seven years?"
"Why do you think so? Am I like that kind of person?"
Seeing O'Neal's expression quickly showing an angry expression, Zhang Hao knew that he was right.
After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Zhang Hao replied: "You are."
"…Oh…” O'Neal sighed, leaned on the sofa and said, "What else can I do? Going to Miami, a big city is just a little more comfortable than going to Minneapolis. They want to get me, just like the Suns renew their contracts, just want to sell tickets by us!"
Zhang Hao was a little puzzled. He remembered that after Leo Neal joined the Heat in time and space, he was so excited that he wanted to win the championship again. He was very motivated. Why is there so much difference here... Oh, right!
O'Neal here doesn't know Wade's talent, nor does he have the motivation to win the championship and slap his old club in the face after changing teams...
Zhang Hao immediately said: "Riley goes back to trade and doesn't even want the first pick. He must want to build a championship lineup around you and Jordan, who is 5 cm shorter."
O'Neal gave Zhang Hao a blank look: "Which genius in Riley's eyes is not Jordan? Are you still Jordan, who is 10 cm taller in his mouth."
"I'm more than 10 centimeters taller than Mr. Jordan."
O'Neal couldn't help but become irritated again: "Is this the point? The point is that Riley chose a defender who didn't know where he came from. If he chose Bosh for me, I would think they wanted to win the championship."
"But the information I got is that Wade is very powerful. He may be the strongest player in the 2003. Moreover, the Heat sent Brian Grant away and will soon get 15 million in salary space. You can try to recruit teammates. There are still great free agents this summer."
After hearing Zhang Hao's words, O'Neal rekindled hope!
only……
"Aix, what conspiracy do you have? Although I don't know what I have to worry about, I feel that you must have conspiracy."
"Conspiracy... I want to beat you in the playoffs again. You didn't make it to the Western Conference Finals last month. I feel so sorry. Mr. O'Neal, you are in your 30s and will definitely be weaker and weaker every year. I am still getting stronger and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to play in the playoffs."
‘Old’, the word came out of Zhang Hao’s mouth, and O’Neal was not angry.
The strong will accept the fact that they are getting older.
When O'Neal left the Lakers, many things were settled in this way... becoming new grudges.
After leaving Zhang Hao's house, O'Neal called Pat Riley that night. He was originally planning to wait a month or two before going to Miami to report, but now O'Neal, who has a new goal, has begun to become active. He put aside his original idea of being a waste of time and began to actively participate in the team building.
