I am so Accurate

Chapter 345 I have the Pacific Ocean! (already edited)

miami beach.

In the hot summer, if you want to say that the most popular tourist destination in the United States, besides Hawaii, is Miami.

In summer, this sea, this sand, this wave...

The scenery is beautiful, lingering and forgetting to return.

O'Neill was leaning on the deck chair on the beach at this time, wearing sunglasses, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Being nice is a really good thing sometimes.

Although there is a lot of noise in the free market now, his name also appears frequently.

Oh, by the way, it is most related to the Miami Heat.

But none of this affected him.

He's the kind of guy who works hard when he's working and rests when he's off.

There was another person lying beside him.

a man.

If Sun Hao was here, he would be surprised.

Because the person lying next to him was Wen Ziren, the director of the horror movie "Chain Saw", which had just exploded.

And the reason why he appeared here was also invited by O'Neill.

In the long summer, O'Neal will not spend a lot of time training like Kobe.

For training this kind of thing, an appropriate amount is enough, and of course the rest is to do what you love to do.

For example, make a movie.

The reason why he invited Wen Ziren was also because he wanted to make a guest appearance in the sequel of "Chain Saw".

Unlike Sun Hao who is purely curious, O'Neill has a true "actor" heart.

He is one of the leading actors in "Hot Coach", which is probably the best movie in the basketball category.

Of course this is his masterpiece, he will not be idle every summer.

The hot coach is his 1994 movie, 1996's "Dream Scum Fit Man", 1997's "Devil's Mission", 1998's "Single Out", and in 2001, two "Cartoonist's Road" in a year and The Car Wash.

Including this year, he has also participated in the movie "After Sunset".

With the number of movies, even if you say he is a professional actor, people will believe him.

So after the explosion of "Chain Saw" this year, it would be inappropriate for him not to find Wen Ziren.

The two chatted while watching the "scenery".

After listening to O'Neill's pitch, Wen Ziren finally agreed.

O'Neal's popularity is not limited to the basketball circle, and such things as cameos will not affect the overall situation of the movie.

"Yes! Yes!"

O'Neill, who had a successful "interview", stood up excitedly from the chair.

He managed to win another play for himself, which took his acting career a step further.

Just then, O'Neill's cell phone on the table rang.

Seeing that O'Neill, who was immersed in excitement, did not hear it, Wen Ziren reminded him.

O'Neill said sorry when he heard it, and then went aside to pick it up.

Wen Ziren took a sip of the drink, then couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

This "big shark" is big, but really cute.

"Yes! Yes!"

At this moment, he saw O'Neill who had hung up the phone over there and yelled loudly again.

This guy, is he still excited? Or are the brain circuits longer than normal?

But soon, he realized that O'Neill's excitement this time was not because of what happened just now.

Because O'Neill... looks even more excited than before.

And he kept repeating a sentence in his mouth.

"I have the Pacific Ocean!"

This made him a little baffled. If his geography teacher taught him correctly, the sea in Miami should belong to the Atlantic Ocean, right?

...

Just when O'Neal was happy for getting the Pacific Ocean, the fans and the media were also shocked.

"This is robbery!"

The biggest reaction was Popovich, the head coach of the Spurs.

And the so-called robbery in his mouth naturally refers to the Lakers.

Some people may find it strange, after all, the Lakers also paid Kobe for this.

But in fact, Kobe is a completely free agent!

The meaning of a completely free agent actually means that at the moment the free market opens, he is no longer a member of the Lakers!

This is also the case with Fisher.

The Lakers are equivalent to German George plus a few draft picks to trade Sun Hao and Finley!

Isn't this robbery!

Of course, this is not the point that makes Popovich the most angry.

After all, it is also the ability of the Lakers to be able to persuade Kobe and Fisher to do so willingly.

What made him so angry was that Sun Hao actually played with O'Neal!

Although Sima is not as good as Zhuge, he is also very smart.

Having played with the Mavericks for so many years, he knows what it takes to pair these two together.

For example, the combination of Sun Hao and Nowitzki has been proven to be very successful, but in fact it is not the optimal solution.

Because although Nowitzki developed the golden rooster independence, the offensive area is still outside the three-second zone.

In other words, Nowitzki's offensive area actually overlaps with Sun Hao's a lot.

This allows the defender to take both of them into account at certain times when defending.

This is why without Bodi Loga, the combination of Sun Hao and Nowitzki is not so powerful.

To make it more vivid, take the Warriors team in history as an example. Without Thompson opening up space on the off-ball side, Dooku's pick-and-roll power would be reduced by half.

But Sun Hao is different from O'Neal!

There is almost no overlap between the offensive areas of the two!

This allows the defender to fall into a dead end when defending.

Are you defending against Sun Hao, or against O'Neal?

With the current strength of these two people, you can't guard against one-on-one, but you can only double-team one!

And because the offensive areas of the two do not overlap, from the three-point line to the penalty area, your defense rotation can't go back at all!

This is the true meaning of "two cups of poison, you choose one cup"!

In fact, after Kobe developed the mid-range shot, the OK combination also played in this way.

This is also a very critical point for the Lakers to complete the dynasty.

But as Kobe's inner desires swelled, he was no longer willing to just throw mid-range shots on the outside.

He began to want to be the core of tactics, and even went to the low post to play back more.

This greatly compressed O'Neal's offensive space, and also caused a great overlap in the offensive areas of the two.

In other words, no matter how efficient Kobe's low-post offense is, it has actually made the defense less pressured when defending.

It's like always saying that the Spurs were shot to death by Kobe, but no one would ever say that the Spurs were killed by Kobe in a low single.

So Popovich has this kind of reaction completely reasonable.

He is not afraid of the combination of Kobe and Nowitzki, but he is really afraid of Sun Hao and O'Neal!

Of course, unlike Popovich's angry mood, fans in the forum are more excited and looking forward to it!

"The match between the Mavericks and the Lakers next season will be exciting. The Mavericks won, Kobe proved everything, and the Lakers won. O'Neal's 'You can't win without me' is a real hammer!"

"If I were Stern, I would definitely treat Kupchak and Nelson Jr. to dinner now. This deal will be the highlight of next season!"

"That's true, but I've said it, next season will not only be about the Mavericks and Lakers, but also the MMR wizards in the East and the defending champion Pistons!"

"There are also the Kings, Timberwolves, and Pacers. I thought last season was the most powerful season in the league, but it seems that I am pure!"

"Stop talking, I can't wait to see Sun and Shaq play together, I can't wait for the new season!"

...

Sun Hao and old Nelson got drunk.

It was already the next day when he arrived at the House of Evolution.

Durant looked resentful, because Sun Hao released him yesterday.

But when Sun Hao and Bell were talking about things, he quickly put down what happened yesterday and was attracted to him.

Because what Sun Hao said was that he was traded to the Lakers.

It was the first time he personally experienced a player transaction, and Durant was very curious and a little confused.

The Mavericks and the Lakers have had grievances and grievances in the past few seasons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sworn enemies.

Unexpectedly, these two teams actually traded one of their core players!

And if this is the case, Sun Hao went to the mortal enemy's side, is this considered... defecting to the enemy?

Oh no, Sun Hao is also the one being traded.

"Damn management!"

After hearing this, Bell couldn't help but swear.

Sun Hao's contribution to the Mavericks in the past four years is immeasurable, but in the end he was traded like this.

The Mavericks' management is really ruthless.

Had he known this, he would not have re-signed with the Mavericks last summer.

You must know that the contract offered to him by other teams is larger than that of the Mavericks.

He came here because of Sun Hao, and chose to stay with the Mavericks, which also has a lot to do with Sun Hao.

"Raja, don't talk nonsense, play your ball well."

Walls have ears, and Sun Hao didn't want Bell to suffer any loss because of him.

"Besides, before I return to China, we should practice more. Next season, we will really face each other on the court."

Sun Hao smiled and patted Bell on the shoulder again.

At this moment, Sun Hao still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Teammates who fought side by side and won the championship together will soon become opponents, and there is a high probability that they will be the main competitors.

Like the old Nelson before him, he also experienced the true meaning of the phrase "business is just business".

...

The opening of the Athens Olympics is on August 13, and there is only less than a month left.

What Sun Hao has to do now is to sign a formal contract with the Mavericks, set the contract period, and then it is time to return to China.

Moving or something can only be done after the Olympics.

It was Nelson Jr. who signed the contract with Sun Hao.

After old Nelson resigned, he really enjoyed life.

Everything was the same as it was before Nelson Sr. returned from Europe. Nelson Jr. was the general manager and Johnson was the head coach.

In a sense, Old Nelson accompanied Annie to Europe, allowing them to complete their induction training ahead of schedule.

Little Nelson's mood doesn't look too good.

Everyone knows his Chinese complex. Three years ago, when the Mavericks had the most Chinese players, they had three Chinese players at one time, but now, they don't have any.

After the talks, the two sides verbally reached a 4+1, the last year is a player option maximum salary contract.

"Sun, are there any good seedlings in China?"

The deal was done, and there was no need for Nelson to bring up the matter of Sun Hao's deal again, so he changed the subject.

Of course, that was the question he wanted to ask, too.

In the past few years, first Sun Hao, then Yao Ming, and then Yi Jianlian, Chinese players have become a Chinese style in the NBA.

Although the Mavericks already have scouts in China, compared to Sun Hao, a member of the Chinese national team, the news is obviously not as good.

"There really is one."

Sun Hao didn't expect Little Nelson to ask this suddenly.

But if you really ask, he really thinks he can recommend it.

With Nelson Jr., the Mavericks must be the most concerned about training Chinese players in the league.

Little Nelson got excited when he heard that someone was really there. He really asked the right person.

The next day, which was Sun Hao's last training day before returning to China, he brought little Nelson to the Evolution House.

The person he wants to recommend is Sun Yue.

Little Nelson was not particularly excited after reading it, but he was quite interested.

This Sun Yue is a defender. Although his shooting is not comparable to that of Sun Hao, his physical condition is really good.

Especially with such a tall man playing point guard, it is somewhat similar to Livingston who was just selected this year.

Of course, it's just the physical condition, and the other aspects are a bit far behind.

But with some training, there is still a chance to play in the NBA.

"I'll get in touch with him."

After reading it, Nelson Jr. also gave such an answer.

Sun Hao is gone, and Sun Yue can be regarded as consolation.

Sun Hao patted Nelson on the shoulder with a smile, and then looked at Sun Yue on the field.

He felt that no matter what Sun Yue should do, he would not be worse than in history.

...

Sun Hao has set off for China, but the NBA free market is not over yet.

Take the Lakers and Mavericks who just passed the big deal, the reinforcements are still continuing.

But the situation of the Mavericks is obviously much better, Fisher and Bryant partner outside, Bell to play small forward, Dirk Nowitzki and Dampier are still there.

And after Finley was traded away, their salary structure became much healthier than before.

Just need to find another opportunity to get rid of LaFrentz's semi-junk contract and bring in a few veteran substitutes.

The Mavericks are still the favorites in the Western Conference next season.

In contrast, Kupchak faced much more challenges.

F4 failed and most of the players left the team.

Now that the Lakers have a contract, even including Sun Hao and Finley, there are only 5 players in total.

They are O'Neal, Sun Hao, Finley, Ariza, and Brian Cook.

These people can just make up a team to start, but their strength on paper can be imagined.

And because there are only 5 people, the combined salary has exceeded 54 million.

This has already exceeded the salary cap, and all Kupchak can use is the middle class exception and the basic salary.

Kupchak successfully completed the task assigned by Bass Jr., but it was obvious that one head was bigger than two.

But at this time, the Lakers ushered in a piece of good news that was not a player supplement, but far better than a player supplement.

Phil Jackson, changed his mind.

He is willing to continue coaching the Lakers!

If you want to say why, it is actually because of Kobe.

In fact, before last season, Phil Jackson's position has always been very neutral, even biased towards Kobe.

Because of Jordan, he naturally likes Kobe, the number one Qiao Mi.

But the Eagle County incident made him completely change his position and stand firmly on the opposite side of Kobe.

Some people may not understand, but those who know Phil Jackson may know the reason.

Because Jackson's daughter also had the experience of being violated in her early years.

As a father, whether Kobe was framed or not, he couldn't stand it.

Now that Kobe has been traded to leave the team, he has no reason to leave the team.

This is undoubtedly great news for the Lakers.

Kupchak implements Bass Jr.'s thinking and will not let Jackson participate in team management.

But Jackson's return means one thing, the Lakers have to play the triangle offense.

Either when he chooses players, he naturally needs to find players who fit the triangle offense.

The two strong points of Sun Hao and O'Neal are already there. To form a triangle, what the team needs is players who can open up space.

Of course, they also need a sixth man if they can.

Although Kupchak is young, he still has a plan in doing things.

In history, it was he who brought Gasol to the Lakers, and then he went to the Hornets to help the team step by step out of the plight of piles of junk contracts.

From the perspective of the starting lineup, Sun Hao, Finley, and O'Neal have already accounted for three of them. The rest is a 3D swingman like Bell, and a power forward who can open up space and defend.

After solving these two key problems, all that remains is to make up for the substitutes in other positions.

3D swingman, this should be the most difficult to find.

Typical representatives of this type of players are Bowen and Bell, but they have all entered the defense for a while.

Even in the future, they are the most scarce treasures in the league.

Kupchak searched around but couldn't find it, so he had to settle for the next best thing, looking for a player with a three-pointer but a relatively weaker defense.

This is the same as choosing a mate. You have always set high standards, and the most likely result is "leftover".

But once you're willing to lower your standards a bit, you'll find that you still have a lot of options in front of you.

Kupchak, for example, quickly found a player who would fit the Lakers.

Brent Barry.

Rick Barry, many people's first reaction when they hear this name may be the "piss pot" free throw.

But in reality, he was one of the superstars of the last century.

Hall of Fame member, NBA 50, 8 All-Stars, 5 First Teams, FMVP, MVP all in his hands, a typical winner in life.

In addition to his many honors, he is also... very capable of giving birth.

And his genes are passed on to his sons.

He has a total of 5 sons, all of whom are engaged in playing.

The two most famous of them are also the ones who have been in the NBA for the longest time. They are the second son Joan Barry and the third son Brent Barry.

And the most talented of them all is Brent Barry.

The No. 15 pick in 1995 and a dunk from the free throw line in the 1996 slam dunk contest gave him the deadliest label: Whites can fly too!

Barry is 33 years old, not young, but he inherited his father's precise three-pointers, and the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes.

Playing as the starting shooting guard for the Sonics last season, he still averaged 10.8 points per game, and most importantly, he made a career-high three-point shooting percentage of 45.2%!

Although the lateral movement is slow, but the wingspan is excellent, the single defense is average, but it is not a hindrance, and the team's defensive awareness is excellent.

Moreover, he is also an excellent team player. His height of 2.01 meters is considered tall among shooting guards. He has excellent vision and can contribute some unexpected second passes from time to time.

In addition, his contract will not be big when he is older, and the middle class of the Lakers can eat him.

In this way, there is also a starting shooting guard.

The rest, only power forwards are left.

But this is also a headache for Kupchak.

Because after using up the middle class special case, all he has left is the basic salary.

Signing a starter with a basic salary is definitely not an easy thing to do.
