I am so Accurate

In the last game, Sun Hao was on the scene.

After the game, he saw O'Neal looking up at the score for a long time from the sidelines.

The finals were swept, this is not the first time in O'Neal's career.

In 1995, the Magic team led by him and "Penny" Hardaway defeated Jordan's Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals and advanced to the Finals.

They were in high spirits then.

You know what a great feat it was to be able to beat Jordan in the 90s.

Although, that's just Jordan who didn't come back until the last 19 games of the regular season.

But that was actually Jordan's only loss after winning the championship.

"I think we're the champions."

As described in O'Neal's autobiography "Shaq Uncut," they've treated themselves like championships.

They even went to the bar to celebrate the Eastern Conference champion on the offseason.

You must know that the alliance structure at that time was just the opposite of this time, with the east strong and the west weak.

But in the Finals, the Magic were swept by the Rockets.

Afterwards, O'Neill recalled that they were still too young and underestimated the enemy at that time.

If they were given another chance to do it all over again, it wouldn't necessarily end like that.

But this time, O'Neill was more confused and uncomfortable.

Unlike the fledglings in 1995, this time they are F4, with possibly the best talent in NBA history!

They avenged the Mavericks in the west and eliminated the thriving Timberwolves!

As a result, in the finals, they failed to win a victory against a civilian team like the Pistons.

This is not right and should not have happened.

Different from the annoyance after the failure, this time he was doubting himself.

Am I really, old?

But soon, he looked at Kobe over there.

Regardless, this will be their last season together.

At this time Kobe also turned his head to look at O'Neal, his eyes were exactly the same as O'Neal's.

And unlike O'Neal, his contract expires this summer, and he can do much more than O'Neal.

The OK combination, from its debut back then astounding the world, to completing the dynasty and becoming the public enemy of the alliance, to falling apart, and now parting ways.

The degree of twists and turns in the story is probably unique in the NBA, and the right and wrong in it cannot be clearly stated in a few words.

However, this may also be where it will be talked about by fans in the future.

It's just that no matter what O'Neal and Kobe think in their hearts now, they, like Sun Hao in the stands, can only quietly wait for the arrival of the free market.

After that, the FMVP award ceremony was held on the spot.

Billups, who performed well in the finals, was finally elected.

This was originally selected by the Celtics and entered the league in the same year as Duncan in 1997. In the early stage of his career, he wandered around many teams and was abandoned by the Timberwolves. He ushered in a new life in Detroit.

At the moment when he was on the podium, he finally couldn't control his emotions and wept with joy.

Anthony on the side showed his iconic warm and pure smile, and silently gave blessing applause to the team's boss.

He now has one more championship than James!

Perhaps at this moment, Sun Hao suddenly discovered that Anthony seemed to have met the legendary "best guard for him" in the Pistons.

And that defender is at his peak!

So it is even more unsurprising that the Pistons finally won the championship this year.

The 2003-2004 season finally came to an end with the Pistons winning the trophy and another championship parade in Detroit after 14 years.

There are too many stories in this season, the Lakers F4, the 03 platinum generation, the strongest slam dunk contest, the rise of the Wolf King, and the "civilian" Pistons won the championship.

But no matter how exciting the story is, it's over.

What followed was the 2004~2005 season that quietly kicked off.

The 2003 NBA Draft attracted much attention, and was called the Platinum Generation by the league and fans.

As the saying goes, a big year in the draft must be followed by a small year, and the 2004 draft...is not a small year in the draft.

This year, such a story was widely spread.

At Southwestern Christian Academy in Atlanta, there is a 2.11-meter high school student who has the inside skills of a big man and the dribbling skills of a point guard.

In this era, what a precious thing this is. The last such player was Kevin Garnett, and the last one was Shaquille O'Neal!

And this guy did the same thing as James in high school, he led the little-known high school to complete the state championship two consecutive piles!

And he himself announced his existence to the world with an average of 25 points, 18 rebounds, 8 blocks and 3.5 assists per game.

Then others found out...that was just the beginning.

The mature temperament and extremely perverted physical talent of this big guy in the trial training are amazing.

"Monster!"

After the Chicago Combine's workout, some team scouts used such words to describe him.

His name is Dwight Howard!

When O'Neal was deeply involved in Los Angeles infighting, even Gongdou, Dampier dared to call himself the second center in the league.

After Yao Ming, such an insider came out, how gratifying and even exciting.

Of course, this draft is not just Howard.

Yi Jianlian's former teammates, Okafor and Gordon, two of the UConn Trident, also announced their participation in the election after leading the team to the championship this year!

Okafor is 2.08 meters tall, but has the best defensive ability, and has the strength to compete with Howard for the top pick!

As for Gordon, like Anthony last year, he is an extremely talented and immediate outside scorer.

These three are the hottest rookies this year.

Of course, this is not all!

Sean Livingston, known as the next "Magician", the guy who made the old coach K of Duke University write a letter to invite him, a talented high school point guard, also announced this year that he will be a high school student run for election.

Devin Harris, an alumnus of Michael Finley, averaged 19.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists in his junior year!

Luol Deng, a forward who was as famous as James in high school!

If Sun Hao opens his eyes again to take a look.

Late first round: Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Jamal Nelson, Kevin Martin…

Second round: Varejao, Ariza, Chris Duhon...

This may not be the platinum generation, but it is definitely the Taobao generation!

If you give Sun Hao enough freedom to choose, he can give you a team's starting lineup.

Of course, that is impossible for Sun Hao now.

Moreover, after a "failed" season, Cuban did not invite Sun Hao to participate in the draft.

But before the start of the draft, the Mavericks ushered in great news.

Old Nelson, back!

Still hugging the pipa half-hidden, only to come out after a thousand calls!

That man, he's finally back!

Under the careful care of old Nelson, Annie's condition has turned stable.

She has now returned to the state she was when Sun Hao first met.

And according to the doctor in Switzerland, as long as she takes good care of her, her body may be better than before.

This is undoubtedly the best news Sun Hao has heard.

He went to Little Nelson's house immediately and sent Annie many gifts.

Annie is Nelson Jr.'s daughter, but it's more like the whole Mavericks team.

Moreover, after the old Nelson returns, Sun Hao can also pass his ideas to the team management through him.

If he doesn't intervene, the Mavericks will most likely choose an insider in the draft.

But in fact, if history does not change, O'Neal will travel east to Miami this summer.

The Mavericks' choice will eventually become... a choice of loneliness.

Moreover, there is no such meat shield center to choose this year.

In fact, the Mavericks are not lacking, and Collins is better than most tank centers!

It's just that Johnson didn't use him well last season.

On the contrary, if Taobao this year.

At the end of the first round, whether it is to choose Varejao or Ariza, it is a kind of fragrant operation.

Or a little bit of manipulation to get Tony Allen, that would be even more delicious.

Of course, draft reinforcement is secondary.

It is not yet known how the Mavericks coaching staff will adjust after the old Nelson returns.

If Cuban let the old Nelson return to the coaching staff, it must be the best result.

The inside line problem is automatically solved first, and the subsequent tactics and so on will no longer be a problem.

But if Cuban returns the old Nelson to the management, Johnson continues to coach.

Then those problems of last season also need to be reminded by old Nelson.

After all, even if Johnson is really stubborn, Johnson will definitely listen to the words of the former coach and his immediate boss.

"Don't worry, everything is on me."

Old Nelson said with a smile.

Anne's condition improved and so did his mood.

Losing last season just allowed him to come back to save the team as he did in previous seasons.

On the evening of June 24, the 2004 NBA Draft kicked off at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Before that, the lottery has ended and the lottery order has been determined:

First pick: Magic;

Second pick: Bobcats;

Third pick: Grizzlies;

Fourth pick: Clippers;

Fifth pick: Cavaliers;

Sixth pick: Eagles;

Seventh pick: Raptors;

Eighth pick: 76ers;

Ninth pick: Sonics;

Tenth pick: Knicks;

Eleventh pick: Trail Blazers;

Twelfth pick: Celtics;

Thirteenth pick: Suns;

Fourteenth pick: Houston;

Well, that's right, the strength of the Houston team improved significantly last year. The whole team dared to fight hard, and finally won the... lottery championship.

At the draft scene, Howard's mood seemed relatively relaxed.

In fact, the outside media also got the news. Before that, he had already received a verbal commitment from the Magic.

And that was not an ordinary verbal promise, it was a promise made to him by Magic owner Richard DeVos in person.

DeVos is 78 years old this year, and one of the founders of Amway has a long-standing reputation in the league.

His words are basically the ones that are set in stone.

The magic fans at the scene also seemed impatient.

They already have T-mac, if there is another Howard.

That's right, that's another OK combination!

Moreover, they also have Grant Hill who may return from injury!

If Hill can recover, the Magic will become a more terrifying existence than the Lakers!

"With the first pick in the first round in 2004, the Orlando Magic selected Dwight Howard. The 2.11-meter center came from Southwestern Christian Academy in Atlanta."

The final result of the draft was also as expected, and Howard ended up going to the Magic.

The magic fans at the scene have already started to revel.

The old OK has disbanded, and the new "OK Group" is on the scene!

However, Sun Hao, who was watching the broadcast in front of the TV, had already started to wander off.

In history, the Magic did have the opportunity to form such a pair of inside and outside line combinations, but they sent McGrady away during the offseason for some unknown reason.

Now everything is the same as in history, there is a high probability that McGrady will be sent away?

If it is really sent away, I don't know where it will go.

Is it going to Houston as in history, or is it going to other places?

The draft is still going on.

The Bobcats also chose Okafor as in history.

Well, I want to mention here that after more than a year of preparation, Charlotte ushered in a new NBA team, which is also the 30th team in the league.

The team was named in June 2003. The name was taken from a well-known local carnivore in North Carolina, and the name was also voted by local fans.

In order to support the new team, the league has given a series of benefits.

For example, in the expansion draft, the other 29 teams in the league will not be protected except for the designated 8 "protected players".

The Bobcats can choose the players they need from these players to form a team.

Like they took Gerald Wallace from the Kings, Eddie House from the Clippers, Calderon from the Mavericks.

In a sense, that's what the other 29 teams put together.

But it is also a good thing for the players who are picked away.

Because most of them are role players, they will get a lot of playing time in Bobcats.

Like "Elvis" Gerald Wallace, he was just an unknown person in the Kings, and he grew up little by little by relying on the sudden increase in playing time.

Another benefit is to give draft picks.

The league gave the Bobcats the No. 4 pick in the first round and the No. 4 pick in the second round.

This benefit can be said to be unprecedented, and the Raptors and Grizzlies, two teams that have also entered the league for a short time, shed envious saliva.

The Bobcats also used the picks to operate, and finally got the second pick from the Clippers.

As for someone asking why the number one lottery is not traded directly, because it... cannot be traded.

The Grizzlies selected Ben Gordon with the third overall pick.

The Clippers selected Shaun Livingston with the fourth overall pick.

The Cavaliers selected Devin Harris with the fifth overall pick.

...

With the 14th overall pick, Houston selected Kirk Snyder.

Chinese fans should have heard of this guy.

In history, he played for the Houston team for two consecutive seasons from 2006 to 2008. He is one of the towel men on the bench.

The Houston team used no trade this time, and directly selected him into the team, and the dream came true.

Sun Hao was watching when suddenly his cell phone rang.

Pick it up and see it's a call from Michael Jordan.
