I am so Accurate

Of course, the excitement of the NBA free market is far more than that.

There are those with such fanfare as the Lakers, and those with such a surprise victory as the Wizards, and of course there are those who make a fortune silently.

The Timberwolves brought in two All-Star players in one go.

"Alien" Sam Cassell and "Mad Men" Sprewell.

New fans' impression of these two people may be more based on their nicknames, looks and even hairstyles.

But in fact, these two people are the kind of players whose strength is greater than their fame.

When Cassell entered the league, he followed the Houston team to complete two consecutive championships, and then formed three musketeers in the Bucks, averaging 18+ per game all year round.

In the past two seasons, Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen have been traded away one after another. He has become the team's main scoring point, and his personal data has reached the level of 20+5+6.

Sprewell is even more obvious. This "madman" who helped the Knicks complete the black eight and faced the Spurs in the finals has not been very popular because of his off-court personality.

But in fact, he entered the league as a star player, was selected to the All-Star 4 times in his career, peaked at 24+5+6, and was still able to contribute 16+4+5 last season.

The reason why it is called making a fortune in silence is because the age of these two people, one is 34 years old and the other is 33 years old, most people will feel that they have reached the end of their careers.

But only Sun Hao knew that the Timberwolves used 58 consecutive points in a disastrous defeat and summoned the strongest combination "three-headed monster" in team history.

In addition to these few teams, other tycoons are also continuing to make minor repairs and steadily improve their strength.

The Kings signed Brad Miller, the original starting center of the Pacers. With the aging of Divac, the Kings management hoped that Miller could take over. In fact, they did find the right person;

The Spurs released Stephen Jackson because of Ginobili's growth, and then completed three consecutive operations in one breath:

Signed the Slovenian Nesterovic who started last season with Garnett, Robert Horry, who is considered to be retired, and the traded from the Kings to enter the NBA with Sun Hao, who is considered to have no potential Hill Turkoglu.

Yes, Turkoglu also played for the Spurs.

Then came the Lakers, after F4 was formed, those veterans sharpened their heads and wanted to get in, and wanted to get a championship ring with F4.

This includes the team's third leader during the first Bulls dynasty, and the main power forward "Cobra" Grant who won the Lakers championship in 2000.

It can be said that F4, plus Fisher, Fox, Devin George, Grant and others, such a lineup is not even luxurious enough to describe it.

Perhaps O'Neal's phrase "My grandma can win the championship when coaching" is the most suitable for this team.

The Lakers, the new season is the only existence.

Then came the Mavericks, Spurs, Kings, Timberwolves.

Plus the East and West Pistons, Pacers, Wizards, Celtics, and Nets.

This may be the strongest year for the league as a whole after Sun Hao entered the league.

Mavericks, well, the Mavericks' free agency reinforcements this summer can be described as nothing.

This may seem strange, but if it comes from the future like Sun Hao, you will find that it is actually normal if you look at it from the perspective of history.

In the city of Dallas, few players really want to come here.

As Niu Mi, you should know this most clearly. Every year before the start of the offseason, the A/B/C plan is fully completed, but in the end, only the D plan can be implemented.

Even looking at the reinforcements of the Mavericks in recent years, Bell, old Curry, and Bodi Loga all came because of Sun Hao. uncle in exchange for...

The term free agency has nothing to do with Dallas.

In the end, Nelson could only sit down and talk to Collins. After promising him more roles in the new season, he finally kept him with a two-year mid-level contract.

Then, he successively signed some players without much competition in the free market.

For example, signing evergreen veteran Willis, Daniels who performed well in the summer league, and veteran Rice who wanted to hug his thigh but no one wanted it...

Oh, by the way, perhaps the most successful thing Nelson did was to persuade Calderon to land in the NBA two years earlier than in history.

In this way, the Mavericks' lineup for the new season is basically formed after the free market door is closed.

Point guards: Sun Hao, Van Exel, Calderon;

Shooting Guard: Bell, Adrian Griffin, Marquese Daniels;

Small forwards: Finley, Josh Howard, Glenn Rice;

Power forwards: Nowitzki, LaFrentz, Najera;

Center: Dampier, Collins, Kevin Willis;

Looking at it from the current point of view, the Mavericks' lineup is a bit bleak. Compared with last season's main rotation, there are three fewer players, and all the newcomers and veterans are filled.

But looking at this team from the perspective of the future, Howard and Daniels, the two "Dallas double uglies", have entered the team as in history, plus Calderon and "old and strong" Willis, the Mavericks defended the title There is still hope.

The problem now is that it takes time for these rookies to display their strength, and the opponents are all getting stronger.

What will happen to the Mavericks in the new season depends on Johnson's coaching ability in the new season.

If he can lead the team to complete the defense, it will really be comparable to the Houston team that made Tomjanovich shout "Don't underestimate the heart of a championship" in the 1994-1995 season.

Of course, it's still early days.

After the door of the free market closed, the long grass period of NBA players has just begun.

Sun Hao, continue to train with Nowitzki and the others in the "House of Evolution".

Just two days later, two more people were added to the training camp, Calderon and Yi Jianlian.

Needless to say, Yi Jianlian came to find Sun Hao to train with the Bulls after officially signing his rookie contract.

The rookie season is quite critical for the player, and he also hopes that he can have an excellent state when he starts the game.

There was a point before that when Yi Jianlian was selected by the Heat, Sun Hao also worried that Yi Jianlian would be destroyed by Riley, the "training madman" who had even disabled O'Neal in history.

Now it seems that the Heat didn't make it, but Yi Jianlian is one of the most diligent in training even without Riley.

As for Calderon, although he regrets his fate and encounters, life has to go on.

The past between him and Sun Hao in the UEFA Champions League can be regarded as tickets to the "House of Evolution".

Sun Hao, after a week of training, took a few days to go to Greensboro, Virginia, and then took another two and a half hours to Oak Hill High School.

Although it has been a while, Sun Hao still remembers what Wanda Platt asked him to do.

What has been promised is a promise, and promises need to be fulfilled.

Oak Hill High School is located in a small suburban town in the Blue Ridge Mountains that is, once you arrive, true rural America.

The famous Oak Hill High School is located in such a place. If it wasn't for the real arrival, I would never have imagined it.

Sun Hao followed Wanda's guidance to the place where she lived.

It was a country cottage, which should be rented temporarily.

The things inside looked old and a little messy.

It seems that Durant's current family conditions are not good.

Wanda greeted him very warmly, saying that Durant is still training, he has called and will be back soon.

Sun Hao just sat and waited, drinking the coffee that Wanda greeted him, and chatting with Wanda about this and that.

It was during this process that Sun Hao learned some information about Durant.

Those were things he didn't know before.

Durant's father is Wayne Pratt, but he abandoned their mother and child when Durant was 1 year old.

This kind of background can be said to be very American. Among the NBA stars alone, James, Jimmy Butler, and Harden all have such family backgrounds.

It's no wonder that Durant's current family conditions are not very good, and their life should be very difficult.

After chatting for a while and waiting for a while, Durant hadn't come back yet, so Sun Hao simply asked Wanda to take him to the basketball gym.

The town is not big, but Oak Hill High School is not.

It took nearly 20 minutes to walk from where Wanda lived to the basketball court.

When they arrived, they saw Durant training alone.

At this time, Durant was only 15 years old, a few months younger than Curry.

However, he is already more than two meters tall, and his talents are already visible to the naked eye, especially in shooting.

The reason why Durant can become a superstar is his shooting talent at that height.

To use a popular saying in the future: Changing direction is to give you respect, so what can you do if you directly kill you.

The two sat and watched for a while and the training was over.

Durant didn't discover his mother and Sun Hao until this time.

The eyes that looked at her mother were full of tenderness, while the eyes that looked at Sun Hao were full of surprise.

It seems that Pratt wanted to surprise his son and didn't tell him in advance.

It's no wonder they waited so long before. If he knew that he was meeting his idol, Durant would have trotted back.

"sun?"

Durant was still a little unsure.

After seeing Sun Hao smiling and nodding, he blushed, smiled nervously, and reached out to shake Sun Hao's hand.

Durant now feels like the big boy next door, sunny and shy.

After Wanda told her son to study hard with Sun Hao, she left first. She knew that her son would not be able to let go of her here.

Sun Hao and Durant didn't sit down, but went directly to the court, chatting and communicating with basketball.

During this process, Sun Hao knew the story of Durant's love for basketball.

He has an older brother named Tony Durant, and the two used to love watching sports.

He was living with his mother in Washington, D.C., and quickly became a Wizards fan.

After that, Jordan's comeback made him even more fanatical, and then there was the Wizards and Mavericks game that was broadcast almost every game.

He was soon overwhelmed by Sun Hao's shooting skills. In his opinion, that kind of shooting is the most beautiful art in basketball.

At the end of the chat, Sun Hao discovered something that he hadn't expected at all.

Durant loves basketball very much!

But Wanda came to him to say that Durant wanted to give up basketball, which is... right?

Or is it just that Wanda lied in order to satisfy her son's wish to meet his idol?

This is quite possible.

At the end of the chat, Durant found a pen from somewhere and asked Sun Hao to sign it.

After getting in touch with Sun Hao, he also felt that he liked Durant very much.

Compared with James, Durant is really much simpler, a bit similar to Yi Jianlian, but more outgoing than Yi Jianlian.

I had a light meal at Durant's house, and Durant went to the arena for training after eating and resting for a while.

Sun Hao chatted with Wanda again at this time.

"I feel that Kevin likes basketball very much, and he has no intention of giving up."

If Sun Hao said this, if Wanda had lied before, then he should have admitted it now.

"Really? But Taras said before that Kevin said he didn't want to play basketball anymore. Taras is Kevin's basketball godfather."

However, Wanda's answer made Sun Hao a little surprised, and that reaction didn't look like a lie.

Sun Hao was also puzzled.

"Did Talas say why? If not, you can ask."

Sun Hao continued.

"Oh yes, I'll ask now."

Taras seemed to have just remembered something, and turned around to make a call.

Don't be surprised, people's IQ will drop a lot when they panic.

When she came back from the phone call, she also told Sun Hao the result of the question.

The reason why Durant doesn't want to continue basketball is...he feels that the place where he lives is too far away from the training place, and the training at Oak Hill High School is too strict now, which makes him feel very confused.

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing after listening.

This is totally childish tantrum.

That's right, children usually don't tell their parents when they have this kind of temper, they only talk to others.

No wonder Wanda was so nervous.

But Sun Hao has seen this kind of thing a lot, so he told Wanda a way.

In the afternoon, Sun Hao accompanied Wanda to school again.

...

Durant had just finished training and was resting when he saw his mother pushing the door and walking in.

"Coach Talas told me that you want to give up basketball?"

As soon as Wanda came in, she asked questions.

Durant's eyes seemed a little dodgy, but he finally nodded.

He said before that he would ask his godfather to keep it a secret first, but after all, paper cannot contain fire.

"Snapped!"

When Durant didn't react at all, he got a slap from his mother directly on the left cheek.

He looked up suspiciously.

"Snapped!"

He received another slap on the right cheek.

Align left and right.

Durant was completely dumbfounded.

"Do you know what basketball means to you and to us? That's the thing that changed our destiny, the only thing!"

Wanda felt distressed when she hit her, but now she couldn't stop crying when she said this again.

"Mom, I was wrong."

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Durant's thought of giving up basketball was instantly blown away.

Wanda hugged Durant and cried for a while.

Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong. It was really not easy for him to raise Durant alone.

But at this time, she really thanked Sun Hao for his advice, which was simple and effective.
