I am so Accurate

Chapter 567 2007~2008 Season

The matter of Sun Hao's retirement continued to ferment, and the most affected Lakers also started their offseason operations.

They immediately chased Vince Carter.

This is also a fairly routine operation.

Because it is uncertain when Sun Hao will return, the Lakers want to maintain competitiveness, and getting Carter is the best choice.

Not long after the news broke, news soon broke that Carter had a strong interest in joining the Lakers.

This is not surprising either.

Carter has been quite unsatisfactory in New Jersey for the past few years, especially his cousin McGrady, who plays in the conference finals every year. He struggles to even reach the conference semifinals.

What people are most afraid of is comparison, and then the psychological gap.

Now that he has the opportunity to go to Los Angeles and cooperate with "Shark", he is naturally very happy.

Soon, ESPN broke the news that Carter and the Lakers reached a 4-year 61 million contract, and the last year of the contract is a player option.

Before the new labor agreement in 2011, there was no mandatory stipulation on the contract period, but this contract is only for four years, and there is an option in the last year, which is very intriguing.

After getting Carter, the Lakers completed several deals and signings one after another.

They first reached a three-year 22 million contract extension with Posey, and then reached a deal with the Miami Heat to get "White Chocolate" Jason Williams.

The deal is also well understood.

With Carter signed, and Ariza and Hill needing to re-sign, the team has no room or salary to re-sign Posey.

This signing first and then changing is the biggest return they can receive if they let Posey go for nothing.

Although Williams is 32 years old, this age is not bad for a point guard.

And the key is that there is only one year left on Williams' contract, which allows the Lakers to operate flexibly according to future conditions.

This can also be seen from the subsequent renewal of the contract.

They first reached a 3-year 10 million contract extension with Ariza, and a 2-year 4 million contract extension with Zhu Fangyu.

Then, they renewed Hill with a two-year, 20 million contract, of which the second year was partially guaranteed.

Hill is 35 years old, and this contract is definitely a premium.

But the purpose of the Lakers doing this is also very clear, to expand the salary space, and at the same time prepare for Sun Hao's possible comeback.

This wave of continuous operations can still reflect Kupchak's business level.

After completing these operations, the Lakers' lineup for next season will be:

Point guards: Jason Williams, Lou Williams, Sun Yue;

Shooting guard: Carter, Azubuike;

Small forwards: Ariza, Hill, Zhu Fangyu;

Power forwards: Millsap, Walker;

Center: O'Neill, Gortat;

This lineup, with minor repairs and repairs, will still be very competitive in the Western Conference next season.

At the same time, some of the more critical signings and operations in the free market this year.

Gerald Wallace finally chose to renew his contract with the Bobcats. The Bobcats entered the league for a few years and finally had their first "Elvis Presley".

After the Nets lost Carter, they went all out to chase Lewis of the Sonics.

Because of the selection of Jeff Green, the Sonics have little desire to keep Lewis.

The Nets intend to use a first round to reach a sign-and-trade deal with the Sonics.

The Sonics are very interested.

It's just that this matter, like Bogdan Bogdanovic joining the Bucks in the future, the priority is a bit reversed.

Because the key to completing this deal is not what bargaining chips the Nets are willing to offer, but depends on Lewis' personal wishes.

In the end, Lewis did not choose the Nets, but the Magic.

What Lewis and the Magic reached is a 6-year contract of nearly 100 million yuan.

"Mr. Billion" was born just like in history.

In fact, this signing is not just about money. Anyone can see which team is more competitive, the Magic or the Nets.

However, because Finley's big contract is still one year away, in order to complete the signing, Finley and a first round and a second round will be sent to the Sonics.

But even if Finley can't stay, the lineup of Arenas, Turkoglu, Lewis and Howard will be the first-tier team in the Eastern Conference next season.

Of course, in view of the past history, they still have to look at McGrady's state after his comeback. If they meet the Wizards in the playoffs, it will still be difficult for Howard to face Yao Ming.

Another important figure in this deal, Finley, will reach a buyout contract with the Sonics after the deal.

He will also become a sweet potato in the free market.

According to ESPN, the Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, Wizards, Celtics and other championship teams are expected to compete for the veteran.

Finley finally chose to join the Wizards for 2 years and 5 million.

McGrady suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, which depends on age.

According to previous reports, because McGrady is a guard, his weight is not as big as the insider, and he is young, he is expected to return after about 240 days of absence, which is almost 8 months.

He was injured in May, and his comeback will be at least in January next year.

This is still the best case, if it is later, it may be after the All-Star Game.

In other words, Finley went to the Wizards and can play the team's starter for a long time, even if McGrady returns, he will become the sixth man.

So for him, the Wizards' chances are the best.

As for some people talking about returning to the Lakers, if Sun Hao hadn't retired, it was still possible. Now that Sun Hao is retiring, this possibility is naturally gone.

Except for these teams, the other teams are minor repairs.

As mentioned earlier, Sun Hao's retirement stabilized many teams that were supposed to be disbanded and reorganized this summer.

It can be foreseen that the next year will be a scene where the world must be divided for a long time, and the heroes will compete for the throne.

Who will be the final winner in the end, no one knows.

then……

half year later.

After half a season of fighting, the structure of the league has an outline.

The most dazzling performance is the Orlando Magic.

The joining of Lewis completely expanded the space on the court, and Howard killed all directions under the basket.

Arenas also went a step further this season. What many people may not have noticed is that this season is actually a contract year for the "big general".

With so many years of "poison contract", his goal must be to strive for a long-term contract with a maximum salary.

Inspired by these conditions, the competitiveness of the Magic has skyrocketed.

As for the Wizards, the biggest nemesis of the Eastern Magic, their competitiveness has obviously dropped a notch because of McGrady's absence.

Although Yao Ming's stats are a bit higher than before, Carlisle did not fuck Yao Ming as hard as in history in order to protect Yao Ming from injury.

This is a good protection for Yao Ming, but the decline of the Wizards' record is inevitable.

Let's talk about another team in the East that has attracted much attention, the Celtics.

Much like the case of the Wizards, Garnett's suspension dealt a blow to the Celtics.

In history, after Artest was suspended, the Pacers went from a championship team to a playoff team.

Garnett is the core of the Celtics' offense and defense, and the impact of his absence is more obvious.

And the suspension is no different than anything else. Players account for the team's salary cap, and the Celtics can't even sign up well.

All they can do is small operations such as signing Cassel, who was bought out by the Nets, and chasing Finley before he failed.

Correspondingly, the Bulls also took the opportunity to rise suddenly, ranking second in the East after the Magic.

As analyzed before, the Bulls have a reasonable lineup. As Paul's game experience increases, the competitiveness of this team will only increase.

Let's look at the west side again.

The Lakers, which has received the most attention, lost Sun Hao but got Carter. In theory, their strength should not drop too much.

But the reality is that Carter has not cooperated with a super center before, and his performance is a bit "unacceptable", and his data has dropped to the level of 20+5+5.

What is even more unexpected is O'Neill's state.

People who lose weight should know that the process of losing weight is painful, but the more painful rebound may come every moment.

O'Neill was relying on the tone of attacking the dynasty before, and he has been gritting his teeth and insisting.

Now that the dynasty was complete, his desires fell off a cliff and the weight quickly returned.

Moreover, although Carter's strength is outstanding, his strength is incomparable to the peak after being stepped on by Bowen, and he is at least one level behind Sun Hao.

This also means that O'Neal can no longer paddle like he did when he played with Sun Hao, and he has to take on more responsibilities on the court.

As a result, his rebound weight and excessive pressure made him miss the game with a toe injury as before.

Under the two major backgrounds, like the Wizards in the East, the competitiveness of the Lakers is also plummeting.

The hottest team in the West has become the Clippers next door.

Odom began to lose weight after being traded to the Clippers. In the new season, he will serve as the Clippers' starting small forward.

The "left-handed magician" reappeared in the arena. He and Gasol's striker partner made various magical second passes, making opponents hard to defend.

In addition to Odom, third-year Bynum is also growing rapidly.

The three frontcourts of the Clippers, together with Kobe in the backcourt, look like an F4.

The Clippers are also considered the most likely team to win this season.

Followed by the Nuggets.

The configuration of the Nuggets has always been top-notch. In the past summer, they selected 3D shooting guard Aaron Afflalo in the draft, and signed the old Lakers "Big Bird" Anderson. Take it to the next level.

Especially Afflalo, although his offense is not very stable as a rookie, but his defense is hard and excellent, which can well make up for the team's defensive problems after West is off the field.

Although not the most promising team, the Nuggets, like the Mavericks in the 10-11 season in history, have the potential to become a dark horse.

Well, I have to mention here that in the 2010-11 season, many people will have the impression that the Mavericks amazed everyone all the way without being favored.

But in fact that season, the Mavericks ranked third in the West in the regular season, the same record as the second-ranked Lakers, and only won 4 games less than the No. 1 Spurs.

The reason why it is looked down upon is also affected by the consistent lax performance in the past playoffs.

In addition to these two teams, the Spurs and the Suns also maintain a high level of competition and are still in the championship ranks.

This is the team in the East and West championship ranks.

Let's talk about the rise as a dark horse, the most dazzling is the Eastern Pacers, which set off a youthful storm in the league.

Although Ellis and Granger have some problems with the ball, they can't stop their momentum at all.

Moreover, the Pacers play a bit like the Nuggets. With the defensive line built by Noah, Deng and Granger, they can defend you and then play a defensive counterattack. The speed is very fast.

Then another Warriors team that was more expected was not so lucky.

As in history, Oden was diagnosed with cartilage damage before he played a game for the Warriors, underwent surgery before the season started, and missed the entire rookie season.

But the good news is that during the surgical treatment, the Warriors team doctor discovered Oden's long and short legs, and has planned to design special shoes for Oden after his comeback.

From a long-term perspective, missing the rookie season may not be a bad thing for Oden.

Then there's the Trail Blazers.

Although Gasol was selected in the first round, he was still stocked in Europe because of his size.

With Sean Battier as the main body, the Grizzlies reached a deal with the Trail Blazers and traded Randolph from the Trail Blazers.

The deal is theoretically a win-win.

The Trail Blazers have long needed to support Aldridge, and with the selection of Horford, it is impossible to keep Randolph, and another forward defensive champion can escort Roy.

So the Warriors failed to fly because of Oden's season reimbursement, but the Blazers have risen visible to the naked eye.

Besides, Randolph, although he switched to the Grizzlies, still failed to take off the "data brush" hat because of the poor overall strength of the team.

The Grizzlies' record also continued to be loose.

On the bright side, they have the draft pick next season in their hands, and they can compete for the No. 1 pick.

The words are divided into two ends.

Over there, the NBA regular season is going on as usual, and here Scarlett is recovering well, and the two have also started a new pregnancy.

And different from last time, this time they planned to prepare for pregnancy.

One thing that must be mentioned here is the 2008 Olympic Games.

An important goal that Sun Hao set at the beginning was to win the cup at the door of his house.

That goal, to put it more directly, is the Beijing Olympics.

Although he had led the team to achieve the goal of winning the Olympic Games in Athens before, the champions at home are obviously different.

So no matter what the reason is, and whether he is playing professionally or not, he will definitely participate in this competition.

This also directly affected Sun Hao's pregnancy preparation.

Preparing for pregnancy after the Beijing Olympics is the best choice.

But to do so, it means that his comeback time is likely to be delayed until 2010.

Three seasons away from the NBA is a bit long for Sun Hao.

Sun Hao can accept it, but Scarlett can't accept it either.

Finally, at the request of Scarlett, they chose February and March this year for their pregnancy preparation time.

This is why it is said that they have made more preparations this time.

Because they fully understand pregnancy knowledge.

Pregnancy, the most dangerous time is the first four months of pregnancy, that is, the first sixteen weeks.

This is the stage of fetal formation, if not well protected, it is easy to slip and miscarry.

This is also the main reason why Sun Hao and Scarlett lost their first child.

Although they paid attention to it later, it was too late.

Then there is danger in the last three months, because at that time the fetus is close to birth, and it is prone to a series of risks such as umbilical cord entanglement, insufficient amniotic fluid, and even premature birth.

Therefore, the three months in the middle are the safest.

So calculate the time, at this time, if you can successfully prepare for pregnancy, Sun Hao can play in this year's Olympic Games.

This is also what Scarlett strongly advocated.

She really wanted to have a child, but she didn't want Sun Hao to really leave the court because of the child.

This time they made sufficient preparations and the plan went smoothly.

They conceived in mid-February, during NBA All-Star weekend.

Because they were full of confidence, they also officially announced the news on social media after they became pregnant.

At this moment, the eyes of fans who were originally paying attention to the NBA were suddenly attracted.

Paper can't hold fire. Although Garnett lay on the gun for a summer, the real reason for Sun Hao's retirement is still known.

After knowing it, most of the fans understood and supported Sun Hao's decision.

How can a man who loves his family not be liked by others!

So now after knowing that Scarlett is pregnant again, the fans immediately sent their blessings.

Including a number of NBA stars expressed their congratulations on social media.

Sun Hao is a child who has been blessed by trillions of people.

And this is an interesting topic.

Kobe already has two daughters. It is curious whether Sun Hao's first child is a boy or a girl.

After all, two people who compete on the field cannot escape off the field.

The good news for fans is that Scarlett faced questioning on social media and admitted that she would look at the gender of the child at the right time.

The accidental miscarriage last time made her not know whether the first child she was pregnant with was a boy or a girl, so she changed her mind this time.

Even if you say it, you may not believe it. Scarlett’s tweet has caused the stock prices of Adi, Dove and other brands to skyrocket.

Now the whole world knows that Sun Hao is pregnant with a child, and the comeback is no longer in the foreseeable future.

Fast forward to the end of April.

At this time, Scarlett announced a news on social media.

Their baby's gender is known, it's a boy!

Sun Hao beat Kobe on the basketball court, and also "won" strongly in the matter of giving birth!

By the end of this year, Sun Hao's first son will be born!

Moreover, Scarlett is also soliciting the Chinese and English names of Sun Hao's son on social media!

If she is selected in the end, she will pay a bonus of 100,000 US dollars and send a pair of Sun Hao's latest signature sneakers! !

For a while, social media was extremely lively, with various names emerging one after another.

Not just because of money and sneakers, although that is already very fragrant.

It's also because if Sun Hao's son was born by himself, it would definitely be one of the happiest things for fans.

At this time, the curtain fell on the NBA regular season.

The ranking of East and West is finally determined.

In the East, the top eight teams are the Magic, Bulls, Pistons, Celtics, Raptors, Wizards, Pacers, and Heat.

Here are a few places that fans are more concerned about.

First, the Pistons renewed Billups' contract in the summer, and then kept McDyess. They got off to a slow start, but they worked hard in the second half and their performance was still strong;

Second, Garnett is still in excellent form after his comeback, and the Celtics' competitiveness in the East should not be underestimated;

Third, Jermaine O'Neal suffered an injury on the Heat's side and his state declined. Wade said that he was a little bit unable to move.

Fourth, McGrady is in good condition after his comeback, but the impact of the Achilles tendon injury cannot be avoided, because he injured his right foot, which has little impact on his pull-up, but the impact of breakthrough is obvious. His pull-up depends on The proportion increased significantly.

In this way, the first round matches in the Eastern Conference are: Magic VS Heat, Bulls VS Pacers, Pistons VS Wizards, and Celtics VS Raptors.

Looking at the West side, the top eight are: Clippers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Hornets, and Trail Blazers.

Here I also need to mention the Lone Ranger team. Last season, the record was mediocre due to running-in problems, but in the second half of this season, the running-in is getting better and better, and they have also shown sufficient competitiveness.

Matches in the West: Clippers VS Trail Blazers, Mavericks VS Hornets, Nuggets VS Lakers, Spurs VS Suns.

Among them, the Nuggets and the Lakers met last season's opponents again, which is very interesting.

The playoffs will start soon, and Sun Hao will concentrate on accompanying Scarlett at home this time, and the game can only be watched live as he did when watching the draft.

His focus, of course, is the Lakers game.

The Lakers played their first game on the road.

Sun Hao watched the whole live broadcast.

Even if O'Neal didn't heal from the injury and his flexibility was greatly reduced due to weight rebound, he was still able to suppress Camby.

It's just that that advantage is much smaller than last season.

Moreover, Carter's outside deterrence is not at the same level as Sun Hao, which makes O'Neal basically in a state of being double-teamed on the offensive end, with limited room to play.

In short, without Sun Hao, the combat effectiveness of this Lakers team has declined very obviously.

Specifically, you can refer to the Bulls without Jordan for two years.

In the first game, the Lakers lost the Nuggets 81 to 97 by as much as 16 points.

After watching the game, Sun Hao felt that there was basically no hope for the Lakers to beat the Nuggets.

Inevitably, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

But everyone has to look forward, a team cannot be at the peak forever.

Even if he didn't retire, O'Neal's current desire to win would make it difficult for the Lakers to win the championship.

When the four consecutive championships fail, the fans will not feel much better.

As a bystander, Sun Hao's mentality is still relatively calm.

To put it bluntly, no matter what state of mind he has now, it won't have any effect on the result.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, all the first rounds of the East and West have been played.

The results of several matches.

Magic (4) VS (2) Heat

Wade averaged 30+5+5 per game in the series, but he couldn't stand Howard's overwhelmed insiders. "Warcraft" averaged 25+15+4 per game, which proved that there is no strong insider in this era. In the playoffs, it is completely Two situations.

Bulls (4) VS (1) Pacers

The Pacers' youth storm failed in the playoffs, because they couldn't defend against the Bulls' offense, and their offensive positional combat ability was seriously insufficient. To make a breakthrough, next season's trade is imperative.

Pistons (4) VS (3) Wizards

McGrady's injury became more obvious in the playoffs. In the past, opponents couldn't defend him because his sudden shot combination was too incomprehensible, but now they only need to focus on his shooting, and what's more terrible is his defense. The tendon injury affected his lateral speed too much.

As a result, although Yao Ming averaged 27+12 MVP-level statistics per game, the Pistons couldn't stand the crowd, and the Wizards regretted being eliminated in the first round.

This is also the first time they have fallen in the first round in recent years.

Although it is still too early for the Wizards to start thinking about the future of the team, perhaps Yao Ming should make some plans in advance.

Celtics (4) VS (2) Raptors

There is nothing to say about talent suppression.

Clippers (4) VS (0) Blazers

Although the Blazers' youth team made it to the playoffs, they paid tuition for growth.

As for the Clippers, even though Bynum was injured and missed the playoffs, they still showed their talents. Their gorgeous offense made the commentators exclaim show.time.

Mavericks (4) VS (1) Hornets

There is nothing to say about the crushing strength.

Spurs (4) VS (1) Suns

The Suns lost completely this time, and their inability to break through the playoffs all year round has already made the team's management lose patience with D'Antoni.

Nuggets (4) VS (1) Lakers

With Carter's 43-point performance in G3, the Lakers won a victory at home, but they didn't have many opportunities in the entire series.

Before, Sun Hao basically didn't pay much attention to the regular season games because he concentrated on taking care of Scarlett.

Especially the Nuggets, whose lineup has not changed much.

But after watching the series against the Lakers, this Nuggets team surprised him.

Especially James' performance is more mature than last year.

Speaking of last year's playoffs, especially when playing against the Lakers, Iverson basically took James away.

But this year, the situation is reversed.

Although it doesn't make him feel that this Nuggets team can win the championship, it will definitely have a fight with the Clippers.

And the key point is that the Nuggets have finally passed the hurdle of O'Neal. Their No. 2 inside combination will no longer be a disadvantage when facing other teams, but may be an advantage. This will be very important.

After the end of the first round, the Eastern and Western Division semifinals will start soon.

Sun Hao's eyes also turned from the Lakers to the Nuggets.

Then, the Nuggets really surprised him.

Let's take a look at the results of the second round.

Magic (4) VS (3) Celtics

The results of this matchup were somewhat surprising.

But it turns out that without Yao Ming, Howard can really play Red Envelope Solitaire, do whatever he wants, and then do whatever he wants.

Perkins can't handle Howard in his prime, let alone those shooters on the outside of the Magic.

That's the kind that can really shoot people through.

Moreover, the impact of Garnett's suspension is also more obvious in the game. His competitive state is much worse than last year.

So although the Celtics showed resilience and dragged the game into the tiebreaker, they still lost in the end.

Bulls (4) vs (2) Pistons

Although the Bulls are much worse than the Pistons in terms of experience, after the battle with the Celtics last year, the Bulls' ability to resist pressure has been greatly improved.

Especially Paul's breakthrough style of play is very restrained by the Pistons' defensive system.

Hamilton and Peja on the outside, and even Yi Jianlian, the Detroit people who stretched the space on the outside were very helpless.

Mavericks (4) VS (3) Spurs

The two sides played a round of epic playoffs.

Duncan averaged 25+15 per game in the series, playing against Big Ben who had no temper.

But in turn, Nowitzki also made the Spurs helpless.

Especially in the tiebreaker, Nowitzki scored 34 points and scored 5 points in a row at the end of the fourth quarter to kill the game.

Clippers (3) VS (4) Nuggets

The Nuggets and Clippers met early.

In most people's eyes, the Nuggets will repeat last year's script and be eliminated again.

The only difference is whether it was Sun Hao or Kobe, the Lakers or the Clippers.

But after the game, the Nuggets won. James averaged 35+7+9 in the series and played an MVP-level performance.

Barnes couldn't guard James, and without Bynum guarding the inside, the Clippers couldn't limit James' performance at all.

On the Nuggets side, West and Efflalo staged a wheel battle against Kobe, and Kobe was exhausted after hitting the back.

In this way, the Eastern and Western finals will also be released.

Eastern Magic VS Bulls, Western Mavericks VS Nuggets.

These four teams are completely new faces.

Sun Hao's retirement has filled this league with infinite possibilities.

Even the spinach company is a little panicked at this time.

The old situation is being broken, and a new pattern is being formed.

A very interesting thing is that before the East-West Finals, the league announced the ownership of the MVP for the 2007-2008 season.

In the end, Kobe was elected the regular season MVP for the first time in his career by virtue of his average performance of 28.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Then, the Clippers have already been eliminated...

This is to form the "embarrassing MVP brothers" together with Nowitzki before.

However, from an optimistic point of view, the elimination of the team is already an established fact, and winning the first MVP of his career is also a consolation.

This isn't entirely a bad thing either.

After the MVP was awarded, the Eastern and Western finals also started soon.

Magic (4) vs (2) Bulls

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic finally won the game by virtue of their inside advantage.

After Sun Hao retired, the Instant Kill combination also disappeared.

Then in the east, the combination of "Little Sun Hao" Arenas and "Warcraft" Howard reproduced the power of the combination of one inside and one outside.

And judging from the results, it was totally worth it for them to sign Lewis in the summer.

Mavericks (3) VS (4) Nuggets

This round of the Western Conference finals was extremely fierce. The Mavericks took a 2-1 lead in the series, and after being tied, they took a 3-2 lead.

But in the end, in James' eager eyes that couldn't hide at all, the Nuggets still tenaciously equalized the score!

Then, in the tiebreaker, the Nuggets won the series like a bamboo shooter!

Sun Hao watched the whole live broadcast, and to be honest, he didn't expect this result.

Because in a sense, this Mavericks team is already very close to that classic team in history.

Facts have proved that people's desire can make people burst into unlimited potential.

And Daben's ability has indeed declined too much, and he can't help James hit the basket at all.

If you replace Big Ben with Chandler, the Nuggets may not necessarily win.

But in any case, James led the Nuggets to a historic finals.

This scene is already comparable to the championship he achieved in Cleveland.

The question now is whether he can lead the Nuggets to the championship.

And speaking of it, James and Howard have played against each other in the Eastern Conference several times in history, winning and losing each other.

Now that history has changed, James has come out of the West in blood, and the two have played against each other for the first time in their careers.

Between the Magic and the Nuggets, who will win the final championship will be a big question.

Perhaps at this time, it depends on how professional fans analyze it.
