I am so Accurate

Two days later, the Lakers' championship parade officially kicked off in anticipation of the fans.

Compared with the previous two times, there were significantly more people on the streets of Los Angeles this time.

Not only local fans, but a large number of Lakers fans from other regions also gathered in Los Angeles.

The huge scene is like the US election.

Most of these fans came to witness the Lakers' dynasty parade, and of course a small number of fans came to see Smith's photo.

When the time came, the crowd at the exit of the Staples Center began to boil.

Because in the front row of the parade, it really was Buckley's donkey!

However, it is not a naked Smith riding on it, but just a large doll of Smith.

Just like Barkley wouldn't really kiss Smith's butt back then, as a public figure, he wouldn't be able to get along after he did.

But Smith also did the best he could. He took off the doll's clothes, and then put on a pair of green underwear.

And Smith himself was leading the donkey himself!

This visual effect is already very explosive.

Behind the donkey, there was a slow-moving parade, with Sun Hao, Hill, Millsap, and Barkley in the front row!

Barkley and Smith are still shouting and chatting, and the picture is quite "warm".

When the game team reached the first stand, Smith was soon interviewed by reporters.

The issue that everyone is most concerned about is naturally the color of the doll's underwear on the doll.

"Why green?"

Many people guessed that it had something to do with the Celtics.

"Green is the color of nature."

Smith's answer was different from what others thought, but judging from Barkley's laughing expression, it was still more likely to be related to the Celtics.

But this kind of thing definitely can't be said, Smith still doesn't want to be beaten in Boston.

The parade circled around most of the city of Los Angeles amidst the cheers of fans.

The distance of this parade is also the longest in NBA history.

By the time the team returned to the Staples Center, it was already afternoon.

But this can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans at all, the scene is still crowded with people.

The Lakers simply ate something, and then went to the stage to participate in the final speech session.

This time it was Phil Jackson who gave the speech.

From time to time, Jackson burst out a line of Zen in his speech, which was quite lofty.

However, the content of his speech is mainly to review the difficult journey of the Lakers in the past three years, which seems to be a good match.

And at the end of the speech, Jackson also used the phrase "not one, not two, but more champions" as Sun Hao, O'Neill, and Bass said before.

It can be felt that now the entire team is aiming at four consecutive championships.

After Phil Jackson's speech, there was an interview session, where fans asked some questions to the team members, and the players answered them.

In the beginning, the fans asked some relatively normal and ordinary questions.

But soon, the appearance of a problem suddenly made the atmosphere a little tense.

"What happened in Game 6 that caused you to have such a big conflict with Kevin Garnett?"

Curiosity killed the cat, the most uncontrollable human desire is curiosity.

Of course, not only the fan who asked the question was curious, but almost everyone.

Because it was the dynasty championship night before, everyone's focus was on celebrating the dynasty, and not many people cared about what happened in the game.

But now that the excitement of the celebration has passed, these things naturally come back into focus.

In particular, this issue has actually been hotly discussed on social media in the past two days.

Even many comments are negative towards Sun Hao.

"The status quo of the NBA league is against violence. As the first player in the league, Sun should be a good guide instead of advocating violence."

"I've never seen Jordan, or Shaq, or Kobe, or T-Mac do this. As a superstar, you must learn to restrain yourself."

"Sun still has a lot to learn in the class of trash talking. Pure violence will only play into the opponent's hands."

"Sun is just relying on Stern's market demand. If you want to change another player, you will be expelled long ago, and the Lakers' dynasty dream will be shattered."

...

If it weren't for the many new users of social media who are helping to reply, this voice would probably be reported by the mainstream media.

Sun Hao didn't expect to be asked this question at this time.

There are many ways to answer him.

The first one is sophistication.

The NBA is the basketball league with the highest level of competition in the world. It sounds big, but in fact, there are only three to four hundred players in the league, and the circle is very small.

You never know if your opponent will become your teammate one day in the future.

Especially for super giant players like Sun Hao and Garnett, they have a long time in the league.

No one can tell what will happen in the future.

So people are so sophisticated, just find some words to prevaricate.

Like, that's just what happened in the game, the past is in the past or something.

The second type is making things up.

If Garnett's words are really exposed, it must be a huge blow to Garnett personally.

Like the Clippers owner Donald Sterling in history, he was forced to sell the team because of a racially discriminatory recording.

Although Garnett's trash talk was not recorded, the referees must have heard it at the time.

So once it is exposed, especially from Sun Hao's mouth, Garnett's prospects in the NBA will definitely be greatly affected.

In other words, that is the real mortal enmity, the kind that destroys jobs.

So in contrast, make up a reason.

For example, the situation was tense at the time, Garnett said some radical things, I didn't control my emotions well, and so on.

The third is to tell the truth.

It's still the ones mentioned above, just telling the truth and tearing the skin.

Sun Hao answered after thinking for a while.

"He said some racist trash talk and then said something insulting to my family."

He finally chose the third one!

People have to bear the consequences for what they do, and if they do, they must be ready to accept punishment.

As for what happens to Garnett, that has little to do with him.

There are also opponents who change into teammates. His strength lies in it, and his choice of teammates is also his own will.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Including Old Bath, their complexions changed.

It's not because Sun Hao said that, but because Garnett dared to say that!

The fans in the audience also blacklisted Garnett in an instant.

People have a bottom line in everything they do. Garnett broke the bottom line twice in a row. No wonder Sun Hao reacted so strongly.

They now even think that Garnett was just lucky if he only got one punch.

As for those who had mentioned Sun Hao on social media before, they felt ashamed for a moment.

After the championship parade, because of Sun Hao's words, the league became very turbulent.

The next day, the media revealed that Garnett's manor in Boston was attacked and smashed by fans.

Fortunately, Garnett is not at home, otherwise I really don't know what the consequences will be.

After all, Sun Hao is not an ordinary person, and the number one player in the league has a huge fanbase.

And it's still in Free America.

After this happened, some fans really worried about Garnett's personal safety.

The league also quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and soon announced that it would investigate the matter.

It can be foreseen that if the investigation of this matter is true, Garnett may face huge punishment.

The league's investigation will continue for some time, and against this background, the 2007 NBA draft kicked off in New York.

The lottery of this year's draft has ended as early as April, and the result of the lottery is as follows:

No. 1 pick, Warriors;

Second pick, Trail Blazers;

The third pick, Timberwolves;

Fourth pick, Sonics;

Fifth pick, Timberwolves;

Sixth pick, Bobcats;

Seventh pick, Pacers;

Eighth pick, Kings;

Ninth pick, Eagles;

Tenth pick, 76ers;

Eleventh pick, Bucks;

The twelfth pick, the Houston team;

The 13th pick, the Knicks;

Fourteenth pick, Pacers;

...

Old Nelson's operation of the big sale on the trade deadline finally reaped a perfect return.

In contrast to Bird, the Pacers only got the seventh and fourteenth picks.

In addition to the strong strength of the three Pacers, this also has something to do with the pattern of the East and West last season.

The strength of the front teams in the West is too strong, resulting in pitifully few wins for the teams behind.

Sun Hao stayed with Scarlett at home after the championship parade.

However, he still watched the live broadcast of the draft in his home theater.

With him are Gu Yi, Fu Paulo and Su Feng.

Unable to go to the draft site, Kupchak will still contact him for advice.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Sun Hao is not at the scene but watching the draft on TV, and that feeling is quite strange.

The biggest difference is that he can't see where he wants to see, he can only follow the live camera.

Before the start of the draft, the camera has been showing the little green house.

Oden is undoubtedly the most dazzling one tonight.

Although in terms of appearance, he is rougher than James, and there is no so-called superstar image.

But the talent is there, and the appearance is already secondary.

There is a high probability that the Warriors will also choose Oden.

Not to mention after O'Neal, the league has very few insiders with this talent.

Speaking of the current configuration of the Warriors, they cannot expect Dampier to take up the heavy responsibility of the team's inside line.

Besides, old Nelson is not Jordan, so he would not seek Sun Hao's opinion on such matters.

And even if the phone call came, Sun Hao wouldn't suggest too much.

Because Auden has too many uncertainties.

In history, Oden is a generation of geniuses ruined by injuries.

But in that, the Trail Blazers who selected him have to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Blazers veterinarian" is not just a meme, the league has an excellent medical team, and naturally there will be bad ones.

Since Bill Wharton in the last century, the medical team here has been constantly complained about.

As an All-Star player, Walton missed 209 games in the first four years. He publicly bombarded the team doctor several times, saying that when he suffered minor injuries, the team doctor did not check him, but only gave him painkillers. He even appealed for this more than once. .

Then there are the Drexlers and Sabonis of modern times.

Drexler was plagued by injuries in the later stages of the Trail Blazers, and he was about to have a second spring when he arrived at the Rockets, and he also won the championship.

Sabonis also publicly complained about the team doctor's attitude towards him. When he had muscle soreness, the team doctor's approach was to give him painkillers.

After that, the more famous ones are Roy and Oden.

Roy's problem is more complicated. He is a bit like Grant Hill back then, with injuries but eager to play.

But this also includes the Trail Blazers team doctor.

Because of the knee injury, the team doctor chose to remove the meniscus instead of repairing it.

We must know that in the long history of the NBA, only Wade and Duncan can perform well after removing the meniscus.

And then there's Oden.

Oden's injury may not be called an injury at first, because he had hip surgery when he was a child, which caused him to have long and short legs.

That is, one foot is longer, and the other foot is shorter.

This caused his feet to always be unbalanced, and the knee with too much burden was naturally prone to problems.

This problem was not discovered before Oden entered the NBA, but he actually knew it after his first surgery.

At that time, some medical experts suggested adding an insole to the shoe of Oden's shorter leg, but the Trail Blazers team doctor refused.

Including the Trail Blazers team medical team at the time, some team doctors suggested doing so, but they were fired directly.

So you say whether Oden will be like the Trail Blazers again when he arrives in the Warriors, Sun Hao doesn't know.

After all, in history, Griffin also suffered a knee injury for a season before entering the league, but he was still very vigorous after returning from the operation.

After showing enough shots of the small green house, the live audience and some non-lotto players appeared in the live broadcast.

At this time, Sun Hao saw a familiar figure.

Sun Yue!

Sun Yue took the same initiative as Zhu Fangyu back then, but the difference is that he was not selected while sleeping like Zhu Fangyu.

He did a lot of trial training for himself to enter the NBA, including the Lakers.

Because he has been training with Sun Hao before, compared with the same period in history, his scoring ability, especially the three-point shooting ability, has been greatly improved.

This also gives him a lot of potential as a 3-and-D player, which makes him a lot better draft prospect than in history.

In previous draft simulations, he was projected to be picked late in the first round.

The highest draft pick was No. 22, selected by the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers' current lineup is very weak as a backcourt substitute, and the 3D style of play is very suitable for Kobe.

After the scene was fully warmed up, the live camera was shown in the middle of the stage, and Stern came out from inside.

A period of boos is indispensable, and a familiar prologue that can no longer be familiar.

Then, it's the choice of waiting for the Warriors for five minutes.

At this time, the live camera has been switching back and forth between Barkley's commentary station and Oden.

In this year in history, Durant was able to pose such a threat to Oden's No. 1 pick.

But now, without Durant, the remaining Horford, Conley, etc., simply cannot have a chance.

Five minutes later, the camera returned to the stage, and Stern announced the result of the Warriors' selection amid a burst of familiar music.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2007, the Golden State Warriors chose Greg Oden, and the 2.13-meter center came from Ohio State University!"

Without any suspense, the Warriors selected Oden.

The Warriors fans at the scene had been waiting for a long time, and when the camera cut to them, the excitement in their eyes could not be hidden at all.

Livingston plus Durant, plus Oden.

Compared with the third young master of the Pacers team next door, this talent is much stronger!

Although Sun Hao will still be at the peak, O'Neal will eventually grow old.

When San Shao grows up, the future of the Warriors is worth looking forward to!

The camera cut back to Auden, and the young Auden with an "uncle face" couldn't hide his joy and walked onto the stage.

When shaking hands with Stern, he showed the character of a shy boy.

In history, Oden was frequently compared with O'Neal because of his outstanding talent during the draft.

But in addition to talent, he is also similar to O'Neal.

character.

He is also funny, friendly and warm.

This can be felt when he comes off the stage and is interviewed by reporters.

After Sun Hao listened to the interview, he could only wish Oden good luck.

But whether he can change the trajectory of his career like Milicic, perhaps only time will give the answer.

The draft is still going on.

The Trail Blazers selected Al Horford with the second pick.

Without Durant, Horford, who was beaten by Oden, is the best choice in this class.

The good news is that Horford's body is much healthier than Oden's, and he should be strong for a long time even if he goes to Portland.

The bad news is that the Trail Blazers already have Aldridge. Even if they change places, Horford will still inevitably play at the fifth position!

However, from Sun Hao's point of view, the combination of Roy + Aldridge + Horford has a lower limit that is much higher than that of Oden in history.

You must know that Horford is known as the "Ball Blindness Detector", and he is one of the rare insiders who can do everything and do it very well.

Combination of offense and defense, selfless style of play, superb second and third masters, and does not occupy the ball, it is too good for Roy and Aldridge.

The Trail Blazers will become a big dark horse in the West in the new season.

The Timberwolves selected Mike Conley with the third overall pick.

This draft pick is quite tortuous. First, the Celtics traded from the Grizzlies, and then traded to the Timberwolves in the Garnett trade.

In the end, because the Grizzlies were really bad and the Timberwolves were lucky, they got the No. 3 pick directly.

The Timberwolves now have Jefferson, who averaged 20+10 per game after being traded to the forest, and his performance is quite dazzling.

So they will definitely pick an outside line.

Among all the perimeter players, Conley is the best one.

As Oden's college teammate, Conley's academic style can only be described as solid.

His upper limit may not be too high, but his lower limit must never be lower. He is the kind of player who can steadily become a quasi-All-Star or All-Star.

There is nothing wrong with this choice of the Timberwolves. The twin star combination of him and Jefferson is good enough.

Then cultivate a striker who can play, and even occupy a place in the West.

The Sonics selected Jeff Green with the fourth overall pick.

This is fate, and Green still did not escape the fate of going to Seattle in the end.

However, without Durant, Green has received more training in the Sonics, and his future should be much better than in history.

The Timberwolves selected Corey Brewer with the fifth overall pick.

This draft pick is their own. As mentioned earlier, with the outside and inside, the rest is the striker.

This year's NCAA finals, between the University of Florida and Ohio State University, can be said to be star-studded.

On the Ohio State side, Oden and Conley have a No. 1 pick and a No. 3 pick.

For the University of Florida, Horford is the second pick, and then Brewer is the fifth pick. Noah is the only one who has not been picked.

Brewer was called "the commander of the cavalry company" by domestic fans, and his popularity was once quite high.

However, he should be a player who adapts to the failure of the NBA. His offensive talent has not been displayed in the NBA, but his defense is good.

There is nothing wrong with the choice of the Timberwolves, but it should be regarded as a type of misjudgment.

And what's interesting is that Conley and Brewer, the NCAA opponents, became NBA teammates.

As I said before, the NBA circle is really small sometimes.

The Bobcats selected Brandon Wright with the sixth pick.

The Pacers selected Joakim Noah with the seventh overall pick.

Sun Hao was a little surprised when he saw the Pacers' choice.

Because of that, Monta Ellis, Granger, Luol Deng, Noah.

Since he entered the NBA, this is the first time he has seen this kind of talent piled up in a team's youth army.

So he doesn't know what the Pacers will look like in the future.

There are too many uncertain factors in this kind of team.

...

The draft went quickly, and after the Pacers traded the 14th pick from the Cavaliers to select Ronnie Stuckey, the lottery picks were all gone.

This year is not considered a draft year, and when the lottery comes out, there will be more transactions.

That is, when it was around the 20th pick, Stern announced a relatively large three-way deal.

The three parties involved in the transaction are the Clippers, Cavaliers and Suns.

The Suns sent their 25th overall pick and Kurt Thomas to get Al Harrington from the Clippers;

The Cavaliers traded Lamar Odom for the 25th overall pick from the Suns, the 22nd overall pick and Kurt Thomas from the Clippers.

The Clippers traded Al Harrington and the 22nd overall pick to Lamar Odom.

Needless to say, the Suns and Clippers are very suitable reinforcements for each.

The key point is Odom. He was a waste of more than half of the Cavaliers last season, and his transaction value also plummeted.

The Cavaliers can still use him to exchange for two late first-rounders, plus a substitute insider who can still fight stably, which is considered to be a timely stop loss.

And this deal also confirms that they still choose Milicic and Bargnani as the future of the team's interior.

After the transaction was completed, the Cavaliers selected Rudy Fernandez with the 22nd overall pick in their hands!

After seeing this choice, Sun Hao immediately called Fernandez who was still in Europe to congratulate him.

This congratulations come from the heart.

This guy who was the most familiar with him in Spain at the beginning, tried to have an affair with him, and would also be the godfather of his children, went to a very suitable team.

In history, Fernandez's time in the NBA is not too long, and he only stayed for four seasons together.

It's not that he can't survive in the NBA, but because of a psychological gap.

He always felt that he should get a starting position and get more opportunities, but whether it was in the Trail Blazers or the Nuggets, he didn't get it.

But if you go to the Cavaliers now, the Cavaliers have excellent internal strength but no one on the outside. Fernandez will have a chance to start as soon as he goes.

As for not being able to play for the Lakers as one wished, opportunities are obviously more important than those.

But after the draft, Kupchak called.

Because Fernandez is also one of the Lakers' alternate targets, now they can only choose someone else.

Sun Hao's advice is very simple, little Gasol!

In the current situation, there is no more suitable choice for Gasol to succeed O'Neal in the future.

But sometimes in the draft, you never know what will happen in the next second.

Not long after Sun Hao and Kupchak finished the phone call, Stern announced another deal soon.

After sending out next year's second round and some cash, the Grizzlies bought the 23rd pick from the Bulls.

Then, they used this pick to select Gasol Jr.!

Sun Hao never expected that the Grizzlies would do this.

While the deal itself doesn't seem outlandish given that the Grizzlies have no first-round picks this year, they'll certainly be looking to trade one.

And this year is not a draft year, and the picks at the end of the first round are not worth much.

In addition, the Bulls have a neat lineup, and there is no time to train rookies.

The Grizzlies' second round is worth money, and they can still earn some cash. This deal is not a loss.

But the problem is, Gasol Jr.'s draft market can't reach here!

This is why the Lakers are not in a hurry to trade up.

You must know that the small Gasol in history fell to the middle of the second round!

Even if his body shape is better than that of the same period in history, it is impossible to climb up so fast!

This result was really unexpected.

Could it be that Jerry West turned into Zhuge Liang and left a kit before leaving Memphis for the Grizzlies to open in the draft. After opening, there was a note inside that read "Mark Gasol" ?

There shouldn't be such a metaphysical thing!

But apart from such metaphysics, Sun Hao didn't know what other explanations he could have.

Of course, such metaphysical things have happened in history. In the 2014 draft, the Raptors selected Bruno Capocolo.

Although the latter is known as the "Brazilian Durant", he never made it to the first round.

This operation of the Grizzlies is as good as that.

In this way, the Lakers are more passive.

After missing Fernandez and Gasol one after another, the Lakers actually have no other good candidates for this pick.

Sun Hao also stopped suggesting and let Kupchak watch it by himself.

At this time, we need to analyze the Lakers' lineup. The changes in the new season will still be relatively large.

Hill, Posey, Payton, Mourning, Zhu Fangyu, Damon Jones, six players whose contracts expired last season.

Hill and Posey Lakers definitely want to stay, but whether they can stay will be a problem;

If Payton was in such a sluggish state last season, he would definitely not stay on the team;

Mourning has announced his retirement after the team completed the dynasty, which means that the Lakers must sign inside;

According to Zhu Fangyu's words, Kupchak will probably stay as the queen thug;

But Damon Jones was not in good shape last season, and there is a high probability that he will need to be replaced, which means that outsiders must also sign;

So for this draft pick, Fernandez and Gasol Jr. can't be selected, and it's almost the same for anyone.

Because the focus of the Lakers' signings will be in the free market.

The draft is still going on, and it will soon be on the Lakers' side.

Stern also saw the Lakers pick live on air.

Kupchak finally chose Sun Yue!

Sun Hao was taken aback when he saw it.

Does this mean to build the Los Angeles Chinese team?

Although in terms of team suitability, it is indeed possible to choose a 3D player like Sun Yue.

Because it is not sure whether Hill and Posey can be kept at the same time, especially in the case of Posey, this can be regarded as a spare tire.

Only in this way, if Zhu Fangyu also renews his contract, three Chinese players in a team must be an NBA record.

If O'Neal retires in the future, he will sign Yao Ming.

Just like what Sun Hao said, this is the real Los Angeles Chinese team!

In the live broadcast, Sun Yue looked a little excited.

Although the draft pick is a little lower than the previously predicted best pick, that doesn't matter.

Because he went to the Lakers!

The Dynasty team, and there is no need to train with Sun Hao during the offseason in the future, just in the middle of the season!

Not to mention, he still has a chance to play with Sun Hao on the Lakers!

This was very evident when he came down for an interview.

"My dream is to play in the NBA with Sun!"

This sentence is direct enough, comparable to what Kukoc said before he went to the NBA, "My dream is to play with Jordan!"

Of course, Sun Yue's mood is better understood than Kukoc's.

For Chinese players, the NBA is playing overseas after all. Being able to play with people from a country is the best feeling of meeting old friends in a foreign country.

Not to mention that Sun Hao is also the boss of the Chinese team, and Sun Hao's help to him in private.

It would be strange to say otherwise.

A few more important choices in the second round.

The Warriors selected Carl Landry with the 31st pick;

The Celtics paid cash for the 33rd pick and selected Glenn Davis;

The Nuggets selected Ramon Sessions with the 54th overall pick;

The Lakers selected Milovan Rakovic, a center from Russia, with the 60th overall pick.

At this point, the curtain of the NBA draft has officially fallen.

The Lakers finally chose a combo guard and a center, which can be regarded as a spare tire preparation in advance.

But these are all preparatory actions, because after the draft, there will be a free market immediately.

Although there are not as many big fish in the free market this year as last year, there are still a lot.

Vince Carter, Gerard Wallace, Rashard Lewis, Billups...

These names alone are enough to attract people.

Of course, these are not the Lakers' signing goals in theory. Their focus is to keep Hill and Posey, and then make minor repairs.

Soon, the door to the free market opened.

However, one thing that happened at this time completely broke the structure of the Lakers, and it can even be said that the entire league.
