I am so Accurate

Chapter 211 Never experienced the beatings of society

In fact, before Jordan said these words to reporters, the United States sounded a red alert.

This is the highest alert level in the United States.

All TV stations in the United States have stopped live TV broadcasts, and they are all broadcasting the pictures of Jordan's press conference.

After Jordan finished speaking, the reporters at the press conference stood up and applauded.

In front of many TVs, there are many people doing the same action.

Jordan is a basketball player, but his influence has gone beyond basketball.

At this moment, he is America's savior.

But that's not all.

Not long after Jordan announced his second comeback, Barkley also announced on the TNT show that he would officially return!

"I'm going to be teammates with the most handsome man in the world."

What Barkley said was full of personal style.

But this sentence, at this point in time, anyone can guess what this sentence means.

He will join the Wizards with Jordan!

The news of Jordan and Barkley's official comeback was one after the other, and the major forums instantly exploded.

"Jordan: I didn't expect it, my successors, I'm back!"

"Now no one can stop me from going to the Wizards game. I want to watch Jordan, Barkley, and Yao Ming!"

"The Wizards are going to take off next season. Hamilton, Jordan, Barkley, Yao Ming, Laettner, they need a point guard right now!"

"O'Neal's grandma officially announced to join the Wizards, and he will serve as the Wizards' starting point guard in the new season."

"Jordan can completely play the organization, but I think they still lack a combo guard who can score, such as Sun."

"Yeah, look at the cooperation between Sun and Yao in the Asian Championships. Their partner is very good, and he is an enhanced version of Kerr, which will be very suitable for Jordan."

"The enhanced version of Cole...Sun is not for sale in Dallas, and the Wizards can't get the whole team in exchange."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if there is no point guard. Before Jordan retired, he was the core of the team's playmaker. Just find him someone who can shoot."

"Yes, this lineup has a chance to reach the Finals and toughen the Lakers."

"... Brother, are you drunk? This is 2001, not 1995. The 38-year-old Jordan, the 38-year-old Barkley, and the rookie Yao, can this lineup reach the finals?"

"From a man's sixth sense, I believe they can do it."

"Impossible, if they can do it, I'll eat shit on my head!"

"Brother, you are ruthless. Although I don't think it is possible, I am looking forward to seeing your video!"

...

The fans are in high spirits in the forum, and the Wizards are also hurrying to operate.

Because both the draft and the free market have ended, it has been difficult for them to sign people from the free market.

This is also a very important reason why they are willing to sign Barkley.

Although Barkley has only retired for one year, his body shape is obviously out of shape. It is also a huge challenge for him to recover before the start of the game.

However, things like reinforcement can also be done through trading.

Because Jordan and Barkley came back to join the Wizards and signed with a basic salary, the highest paid person on the Wizards roster is Laettner, with $4.5 million.

They acted quickly.

They used a second-round pick to trade with the Heat and directly exchanged for Tim Hardaway!

This Hardaway is not Hardaway, but the father of "kill.crossover", nicknamed "Little Worm".

Selected to the All-Star five times in his career, he averaged 23.4 points and 10 assists per game in his peak season.

"Little Worm" is plagued by injuries and has long lost his former courage.

But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Hardaway played 77 games with the Heat last season and still averaged 14.9 points and 6.3 assists per game.

And he averaged 6.7 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage reached 36.6%.

Being able to play with Jordan in the starting lineup will open up space, and he can also lead the team to score off the bench.

This fits perfectly with what fans call a combo guard.

The only bad thing is that Hardaway is 35 years old and has potential injuries.

But the Wizards only paid for a second-round pick, what more bicycles are needed.

After Jordan changed from a management to a player, the Wizards' management seemed to become shrewd all at once.

As for why the more savvy Riley made the deal?

Because after giving Hardaway a big contract of 12 million with a friendly nature last season, he doesn't want to do the same thing again.

If he does things like giving pension contracts to stars, he will not do it a second time, and no one will do it in the future.

What's more, he dumped Hardaway and got a second round, so he won't lose money.

As for reinforcing your competitors?

After the Heat's Eastern Conference carrier capsized last season, Riley was already thinking about rebuilding.

The Wizards and him are no longer the same goal. He is happy to make the Wizards stronger to consume other teams.

While the fans were still talking about Jordan's comeback, the time had come to the end of September.

Sun Hao's personal training camp is over.

Everyone took a group photo together before going back to their homes to find their mothers.

For everyone in the training camp, this summer has been very meaningful.

After finishing his personal training camp, Sun Hao rested for a while, and then participated in the Mavericks training camp.

The preseason will come in mid-October, and each team has started training camp one after another, and so has the Mavericks.

Compared with last year, this year's team has had personnel changes. The biggest change is naturally that Uncle Huo left, and LaFrentz and Van Exel came.

LaFrentz is the same white player as Laettner, even the same height.

The difference is that LaFrentz is younger and looks stronger.

As for Van Exel, it doesn't match the atmosphere of the Mavericks. At first glance, it looks like the style of an American street player.

But with Eisley here, Van Exel's integration will not be a problem.

Of course, in addition to these two major signings, the Mavericks also signed some bench players in the free market.

Avery Johnson, "The Little General" showed great personal qualities when the Spurs played against the Mavericks last season.

Old Nelson went deep into the enemy camp and dug him here.

Johnson is 36 years old, and he won't be of much help to the Mavericks on the court.

But the tactical level is even bigger.

Johnson played seven years with the Spurs, and he knows Popovich's tactics from the bottom up.

Old Nelson dug him over, and the signal he sent couldn't be more obvious.

Just like what he said to the players at the end of last season, he doesn't care about playing other teams, but he must die when playing the Spurs.

In addition to Johnson, there are two other defensive swingmen.

Adrian Griffin, 1 meter 96, 98 kg.

This size, this position, was clearly prepared for Kobe.

The emergence of zone defense made old Nelson even more ambitious.

This Griffin Sun Hao doesn't have much impression.

But when he saw another swingman, his face brightened.

"Raja."

Sun Hao smiled and walked over to say hello.

Another person, with a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of 97.5 kg, Raja Bell!

He's coming to the Mavericks too!

Bell played the summer league with Sun Hao at the beginning, but failed to stay on the team in the end.

Unexpectedly, he went around and around, he went to the Spurs and the 76ers, and finally came to the Mavericks!

"Sun!"

Bell was relatively taciturn in the locker room, but when he saw Sun Hao coming, his face changed for the better.

Sun Hao's advice to him at the beginning benefited him a lot, and he finally managed to stay in the NBA.

He has deeply experienced the pain of desperately trying to stay in the NBA, so he is even more grateful for Sun Hao's kindness to him at the beginning.

Sun Hao smiled and hugged Bell.

This move made Nowitzki and Nash stunned for a moment.

Of course they didn't remember that Bell had played in the Mavericks' summer league, but they were just surprised that Sun Hao knew someone new.

Nash frowned slightly.

They had a deep relationship last season with the Dallas Grass Sanji. This person who came out of nowhere seemed to be very close to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao turned around and introduced Bell to Nowitzki and Nash.

In Bell's words, the style of play is tough, top-level 3D.

In history, Bell will not play until the Suns two years later, but he gave Bell a suggestion last year, and the time of the latter's play will obviously be earlier.

The Mavericks took him, meaning as much as Avery Johnson.

It can even be said that in the next few years when playing games with the Lakers, Sun Hao will not need to beat Kobe.

With Bell around, he can attack with ease.

I looked around the locker room again.

Point guard: Nash, Van Exel, Avery Johnson

Shooting guards: Sun Hao, Eisley, Bell

Small Forwards: Finley, Najera, Adrian Griffin

Power forwards: Nowitzki, Kukoc, Wang Zhizhi

Centers: LaFrentz, Bradley, Collins.

This lineup is more reasonable than last season, and of course it is more in line with the old Nelson's requirements.

Sun Hao and Nash's combo guards, Nowitzki and LaFrentz can both open up space and move fast.

Coupled with the increased depth of the bench and the emergence of zone defense, the Mavericks will definitely have to do a lot in the new season!

This can be felt in the training after the start of the team training camp.

The morale of the team members was also high, and the smile on Old Nelson's face never stopped.

But some people are happy and some are sad, and the one who is sad is... Wang Zhizhi.

Training camp is a time for teams to hone in and experiment with rotations.

But no matter what lineup old Nelson uses, the inside rotation is basically Nowitzki, LaFrentz, Bradley and Kukoc.

Wang Zhizhi basically had no chance.

In fact, Sun Hao didn't know much about Wang Zhizhi.

It's fine if you don't accept his suggestion before, and quit his training camp early.

And the team's training camp started with white meat, which is really confusing.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all Chinese players, he wouldn't have bothered to care about them anymore.

Not long before the start of the preseason, the Mavericks encountered a small situation.

Nowitzki had some soreness in his ankle.

This kind of situation often happens to inside players, and this is probably due to too much practice in the past summer.

Fortunately, the season hadn't started at this time, so Nelson could rest assured and boldly let Nowitzki go to rest.

But even so, the old Nelson also let Najera come as a guest power forward more.

This directly made Wang Zhizhi autistic.

After the day's training session ended, everyone else left, and Wang Zhizhi sat there alone in a daze.

He looked like he was sulking.

Sun Hao sighed, and finally walked over.

How to put it, Wang Zhizhi is also an important part of the men's basketball team. If the Chinese team wants to make a breakthrough in the competition, no one can replace him at this stage.

"Generally, what's the matter, not in a good mood?"

Sun Hao asked after sitting down.

"Where do you think I am worse than Nowitzki?"

Sun Hao was taken aback by Wang Zhizhi's words.

He couldn't answer this question.

No, when Wang Zhizhi asked this question, he felt that he was no worse than Nowitzki.

This is not just arrogance, but a little lack of self-knowledge.

"If it wasn't because I couldn't go abroad to play for the first time, my current performance in the Mavericks would not be worse than Nowitzki."

Perhaps the old Nelson would rather use Najera as a guest power forward than use him, Wang Zhizhi's mentality is a little bit broken.

He felt that Nowitzki had taken the position that should belong to him.

Sun Hao nodded.

He could only nod his head, Wang Zhizhi's mood at the moment was like a powder keg.

He came to persuade Wang Zhizhi, so he must follow his words.

"The past can't be changed, but old Nelson recruited me from China and didn't give me a chance to perform. I don't understand what that means."

Wang Zhizhi said half of what he said, but he didn't say the other half.

The Mavericks are not a defensive team, and Nash plays a lot of time like everyone.

Even Sun Hao didn't defend well when he first came to the NBA, so he also got a chance to play.

But he was the only one who was treated differently because he had Nowitzki in front of him.

Sun Hao didn't know the part that Wang Zhizhi didn't say, but after listening to what Wang Zhizhi said, he felt that the latter was too arrogant, and he was also a little bit high-minded.

It's useless for him to say anything with this character.

The most realistic example is Kobe.

Look at Kobe's mentality in the Lakers before, grabbing O'Neal, and thinking that he is not as bad as Iverson and Carter, thinking that everyone is just a high school student against him.

Wang Zhizhi is also similar.

In other words, this is because the previous career was too smooth, and I have not experienced severe beatings from society.

However, the difference from Kobe is that Wang Zhizhi only has arrogance, no actual actions, no thinking about changing and improving himself.

"Be patient. I believe Don will give you a chance. After all, the preseason hasn't started yet."

Sun Hao can only say so.

Wang Zhizhi sighed, and finally said nothing.

After chatting with Wang Zhizhi for a while, Sun Hao got up and left the training hall.

He didn't go back to the locker room, but walked towards Old Nelson's office.

He knocked on the door, and old Nelson was still inside studying tactics for the new season.

This season's Mavericks have the strength to play against the Spurs and Lakers, and his investment is also greater.

He was a little surprised by Sun Hao's arrival, and looked at Sun Hao suspiciously.

"Don, I have a merciless request."

Old Nelson nodded and motioned for him to say.

After one season, he likes and trusts Sun Hao very much.

"I hope the team can give Wang a chance to start in the preseason."

Sun Hao continued to speak, just like he said, this is indeed an unfeeling request.

But this is the only way to make Wang Zhizhi change.
