I am so Accurate

Chapter 495 Sudden coquettishness

Ball Stealing Expert (Bronze): Slightly increases the chance of stealing the ball from the opponent's ball handler, and slightly reduces the chance of being called for a foul; slightly increases the chance of successful layup cuts.

This badge... looks a bit Dior!

Judging from the badges obtained before, most of them only have one effect.

But this badge is one of two rare ones.

Although functionally speaking, these two are of the same type, they are actually in two defensive forms.

One is when defending on the outside, and the other is when defending on the inside.

This more than a month of high-intensity training was worth it!

After successfully unlocking the badge, Sun Hao... of course did not disband the training camp immediately.

I just got the badge, so of course I need to get used to it!

However, Durant had to go back not long after he stayed, because the Warriors' training camp was about to start.

The Warriors' personnel changes in the summer are quite big.

Baron Davis left, Ben came, and Calderon was added.

In fact, don't tell me, Sun Hao suddenly felt that the Warriors also had a chance to make the playoffs in the Western Conference.

Calderon, Jason Richardson, Durant, Jamison, Ben.

Also on the bench are Dunleavy Jr., Matt Barnes, Wang Zhizhi, and Biedrins.

This lineup is difficult to perform well.

I have to say that Nelson is really good at operations.

From a management perspective, this is a lineup that can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

If you play well and make the playoffs, that's great. If you don't play well, it won't hurt to give Durant a chance to level up in the middle of the season.

Once Durant left, Curry and Beasley suffered a lot.

Especially after Sun Hao got the badge, his defensive ability was significantly improved.

These two talented teenagers who have not yet "developed well" were somewhat shocked.

Especially Beasley.

At first, he was a little complacent. He was just a high school student and he could score at will in front of the first player in the NBA.

But until now, he would often be cut by Sun Hao, which made him start to doubt himself.

His playing style is very similar to Anthony, and he has the strength and talent, but after all, he is not the real Anthony.

When the Lakers were about to open a training camp, Sun Hao announced that the "Evolution House" training camp was over.

Both Curry and Beasley left with tired bodies.

They were tortured by Sun Hao.

"See you next summer!"

Sun Hao looked at the backs of the two people and suddenly remembered something and shouted.

As a result, as soon as he finished shouting, the two of them ran away.

"Ahem..."

Sun Hao had a dry cough.

It seems like there will be a new wave of people next year.

Training camps for various teams are starting one after another, and the new NBA season is approaching.

When Sun Hao went to play in the World Championships, the Lakers had already completed their summer lineup changes.

Compared with last season, this is a big change.

After the Lakers won two consecutive championships last season, one after another veterans chose to retire.

Kukoc on the inside, and Christie on the outside.

Kukoc has reached his age. He even got a championship ring before retiring and has already made a lot of money.

Christie is something special.

He is 36 years old. For a defender, he can actually play at this age.

But he knows his physical condition and will spend most of his time on the bench for another season.

So he retired a little early to make room for the team.

The Lakers also reflected a wave of team culture after seeing him make such a choice.

Because he retired early before the contract ended, the team not only chose to pay him the remaining year's salary, but also made him directly become the team's assistant coach.

If nothing else, the human touch of this team is very strong.

In history, whether it was Kobe or James, there was no ambiguity when it came time to give the elders a big contract.

The management previously intended to trade O'Neal, but chose to give up after consulting Sun Hao.

These things intangibly enhance their status in the players' hearts.

Including because of O'Neal's incident, Sun Hao's current idea is to play with the Lakers until he retires.

In addition to those who retired, there were also those who left the team.

Brian Cook, the man who claimed to have scored 81 points with Sun Hao, but actually didn't score a single point that night, left after his contract expired.

This guy can be regarded as having been blessed by Sun Hao's luck.

Historically, he played for the Lakers for several years but never won a championship. Shortly after he was traded, the Lakers won two consecutive championships.

But now, he was selected by the Lakers in 2003, but was given up only after completing his three-year contract with the Lakers.

But when he went out and put on two championship rings on his hands, he was already plated with gold.

In addition to Cook, Damon Jones also left the team at the end of his contract.

When someone leaves, someone will naturally come in.

Millsap is a rookie. Although Gortat was a rookie last year, he just won the Bundesliga championship and came immediately when the Lakers called him.

This is different from history, but it is easy to understand.

If you come here, you will have a chance to compete for the NBA championship, and you will obviously have a chance to be in the rotation. No fool would not come.

In addition to the two rookies, the Lakers also signed two immediate players in the free market.

They first signed James Posey with a 1+1, full mid-level contract with player options in the second year.

Posey performed well for the Heat last season, especially on defense and three-pointers.

With a $6.4 million player option, he chose to opt out of his contract and instead signed with the Lakers.

At this time, the middle-class exception was not as exaggerated as it would be in the future, with an annual salary of only about 5 million.

Based on Posey's performance and the market, he can choose to continue to execute the original contract, or he can sign a bigger contract.

But he finally chose to cut his salary and join the Lakers, with a very clear purpose: to sign a bigger contract next year.

The Lakers are a bigger stage, and there is a shortage of forwards and guards. He has room to play.

Coupled with Hill's injury concerns, he has a chance to start.

Even if Hill's big contract expires next year, as long as he plays well, he doesn't have to go out to find a new contract and can just renew it with the Lakers.

It seems that he lost money, but in fact this operation was very smart.

Another player is Kelana Azubuike, who signed a two-year non-guaranteed basic salary contract with the Lakers.

This player is not very famous, but Sun Hao is familiar with him.

Without him, because this peak player started with rookie Curry.

He is also a 3D ruthless person, a bit like Bell.

It's just that he was not as lucky as Bell. In his best season, he directly tore his ligament, a career-destroying injury, and faded out of the league early.

Although, he is still a player who has never played in the NBA.

The reason why he is said to be an immediate player is because he performed well in the NBDL last season, and his preseason games on behalf of Houston were also very impressive.

And if you compare carefully, you will find that Posey and Azubuike are both the same type of 3D players.

This shows that Kupchak is also growing in learning.

Last season, he signed many well-known veterans in order to enrich the team's playoff experience. As a result...Kukoc sat directly on the bench from the beginning to the end of the season.

He also belatedly realized that the Lakers' playoff experience was rich enough.

With this understanding, he began to change his thinking.

Don’t choose the famous ones, choose the right ones.

The Lakers have Sun Hao, Payton, Hill and even Lou Williams on the outside. They no longer need to hold the ball. What they need is this kind of 3D player.

As a result, the Lakers' lineup for the new season is already ready to be revealed:

Point guard: Sun Hao, Payton, Lou Williams

Shooting Guard: Grant Hill, Azubuike

Small forward: Ariza, James Posey, Zhu Fangyu

Power forward: Antoine Walker, Anderson, Horry, Millsap

Center: O'Neal, Mourning, Gortat

This lineup may look a little top-heavy, but Horry is a forward swing, Posey is a forward-back swing, and Lou Williams is a combo guard.

Taking this into consideration, this lineup actually makes a lot of sense.

On the first day of training camp, all members of the Lakers team arrived.

This includes "Shark" O'Neal.

And on the first day, this guy showed a rare positive training attitude.

Although he was unhappy with his appearance in trade rumors this past summer, the Lakers' subsequent statements still made him really happy.

And what happened in Xia Tian seemed to give him a sense of crisis.

This is unexpected good news for the Lakers.

Then, Sun Hao also met Hill for the first time in the training camp... wearing a suit.

That look clearly embodies the word "gentleman" in the American national dictionary.

Elegant manners, generous conversation, and even that warm smile.

No wonder this guy was selected by Stern to be Jordan's successor, because he is really gentleman!

What the hell is a little flutter in your heart?

But it’s actually normal, because Hill is actually really weird.

In the United States, whites and blacks are two opposing and very different groups.

Black people like hip-hop, they always talk about it incessantly, and they are very familiar with each other. They talk like brothers.

White people are very independent and pay attention to principles, etiquette and interests in doing things.

However, Hill is a very white black man, which is what black Americans call the "black man with a white heart."

Because of this incident, Hill was very excluded and even discriminated against by black teams when he first entered the league.

However, it was under this circumstance that Hill used his behavior and personal charm to win back the respect of black people for himself.

Especially at this age, his charm has become invisible.

You must know that this man has won the Moral Style Award three times in history, which is unprecedented and probably unprecedented.

Not to mention Sun Hao, most people in the Lakers instinctively like him.

Well, Sun Hao feels that he can develop in this direction more in the future.

In this way, he can directly say: My damn charm has nowhere to be placed...

Well, the picture came out.

Wait, it seems like that's not the point.

The point is, why is Hill still wearing a suit when training begins?

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, but the question turned out to be a bit confusing.

Hill's injury has not completely healed yet.

According to the team doctor, Hill will be fully healthy before returning to play in December, which is the safest option.

Good guy, Sun Hao is just a good guy.

This is different from the history he knows!

I don’t know if Kupchak is drawing circles in his heart and cursing him.

However, now that the matter was over, Sun Hao didn't think much more about it.

In fact, when he saw Kupchak accidentally signing Posey, he knew that the strength of the Lakers' forwards and guards was guaranteed.

Posey is not Hill's type of outstanding talent, but he is better at practicality.

Historically, he was a starter for the Heat in the 2005-06 season and a sixth man with the Celtics in the 2007-08 season, both of which helped both teams win championships.

Moreover, Sun Hao now has the "Ten Cents" badge, Posey and Ariza, two top 3D players.

Hill being able to play is the icing on the cake, but not being able to play is not a big problem.

And not long after the training camp started, Phil Jackson fell into a kind of happy trouble.

All these Lakers players are in surprisingly good condition, especially the outside players.

Not to mention Sun Hao and Zhu Fangyu, who played in the World Series this summer, Posey, who just joined, Williams, who is in his second year, and even Azubuike, who came from the Development League, are more brave than the other.

How to rotate in the regular season is really a headache for him for a while.

After the training, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat on the sidelines chatting again.

There was a long grass-growing period between them, and the two of them had too much to talk about.

Sun Hao talked about the World Championships, while O'Neal talked about his busy life this past summer.

As a prolific "actor", he completed a very important movie in his acting career this summer: "Scream 4".

Scream is the only franchise he cares about more than Saw, and it could be a milestone in his acting career.

In addition, he also recorded a new rap song. Although it is not as good as the platinum album when he first debuted, the sales are not bad.

That's not all, he finally realized his dream this summer, working as a policeman on the streets of Los Angeles and directing traffic...

"That was very important to me, and even though I found directing traffic a terrible thing, it was very rewarding."

When O'Neill said this, he was beaming with joy and was indescribably happy.

Sun Hao also smiled and nodded.

O'Neal has been much busier than he has been this summer.

It's just that I didn't find the right place when I was busy.

If he continues to be so busy, O'Neal may consider retiring before his contract is completed.

If that's the case, it wouldn't be a good thing if he stayed with the Lakers and didn't meet Riley.

"Shaq."

Sun Hao looked at O'Neal seriously.

Although he felt that it was still unlikely to succeed, Sun Hao decided to give it a try.

When O'Neal saw Sun Hao's expression, he also stopped smiling and looked back at him seriously.

"Loose weight, it's for your own good."

Sun Hao originally wanted to give some reasons, but he thought that he had failed in so many attempts in the past.

How could O'Neal suddenly change his mind if he said something at this time?

"good."

O'Neill nodded seriously.
