I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 480 Top Seed!

No, to be precise, the exciting thing should be next season.

One big difference from history is that the East, which was supposed to be weak, will become an unprecedented "hell" next season.

The original "Eastern F4" Wizards, Pistons, Nets, and Magic are still strong, and the Bulls have been greatly strengthened.

These five teams will kill the Eastern Conference.

And the team that cannot be ignored is the Raptors.

In a trade in the draft, the Raptors brought Baron Davis back.

Bosh, like the other 03 generations, has grown "fat" after a few years of development.

The Raptors also traded TJ Ford from the Houston team, and signed Sun Hao's former teammate from La Liga, Garbajosa, one of the former Real Madrid tridents, and a former NBA player who played well in Europe. The name is very good. Fucking Anthony Parker.

These operations of the Raptors management are obviously ready for the playoffs.

In fact, this year in history, the Raptors without Baron Davis finished third in the Eastern Conference.

Although the strength of the Eastern Conference is much stronger than in history, the Raptors also have more Davis.

Of course, there is still a lot of uncertainty about a team, but it still cannot be ignored.

Celtics!
Pierce Gareth Allen, this pair of twin stars guaranteed the team's lower limit.

It must be mentioned here that Ray Allen, who averaged 25.1 points per game last season, is still the hottest shooting guard in the league.

In other words, he is still at his peak.

This is different from history.

Then, there is Garnett.

The current trend in the league is a dual-core inside and outside. If the Celtics can trade Garnett in the rest of the offseason or even during the season.

Then they will form an unprecedented, one-of-a-kind Big Three known only to Sun Hao!

Even if they can't trade, after Gasol is gone, Al Jefferson in the team will play as he has in history.

Such a lineup can still win a place in the playoffs for itself in the Eastern Conference.

Then count the stable lineup and the strong Heat team.

Well, the top eight in the Eastern Conference next season are all booked directly.

The remaining seven teams in the East will have a hard time making the playoffs as hell.

This is the case in the east, and the same is true in the west.

The "Big Four" Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs are unshakable.

If it weren't for the competition system, these four teams would basically lock in the upper half.

Then there are the Nuggets who traded Iverson, and the Clippers who traded Gasol and are still around the corner.

These six teams are also properly locked in the playoffs.

Of course, there is also a team in the West that cannot be ignored: the Hornets.

Although Paul did not go to be the "queen bee" again, Deron's "queen bee" is also not bad.

The east is hell, and the west is the abyss. If you want to fight out of here, you will have to fight hard.

Looking forward to next season!

After Sun Hao trained that day, he habitually took out his mobile phone to check the news.

While swiping, he suddenly saw a very "smell" video.

Shit Brother Appeared!

He posted a video of himself eating shit while standing on his face. avi!

Not shit made of chocolate, but real shit!
Handstand, one hand, spoon, visual sense...

After reading it, Sun Hao felt that this guy is really a ruthless person!

I just don't know why, but Sun Hao always feels like shit smells all around after watching it.

Fortunately, his feeling was quickly interrupted by a caller ID.

The call was from Kupchak.

The Lakers are already negotiating a deal with the Magic.

The main body of the transaction is the exchange of Finley for Hill that Sun Hao mentioned before.

Moreover, the interest in magic is very great!

From the point of view of magic, how can we not be happy that this ten-thousand-year injury has finally been taken over!
And they have long been prepared to change the atmosphere. Now it is too late for them to be happy with a player who has a garbage contract but still has immediate combat power!
As for Finley's big contract, the Magic are fully capable of digesting it.

This has something to do with the salary structure of the Magic.

Apart from Hill, Arenas is the only player with an annual salary of over [-] million.

Moreover, Arenas was recruited by the poison contract at the beginning, and his salary this season and next season is only about 1100 million!
Of course, the most important thing is that Howard is still on his rookie contract. He will not start a big contract until the 08-09 season, when Finley's contract has already ended.

So if this deal is reached, not only will there be no loss to the Magic, but it will also greatly increase the stability of their championship next season.

Why not?
Some people may say, shouldn't the Magic just wait for Hill's contract to expire?

Just like don't talk about 1600 million like 1600 yuan, don't talk about a year like a day.

The Magic had an excellent record last season, but they have already experienced the pain of Hill's season reimbursement.

A year of hard work was finally swept away, and they would never want to experience this pain again.

So when the Lakers asked for extra heads, they readily agreed.

Kupchak called at this time to ask Sun Hao who he wanted.

A happy smile appeared on the corner of Sun Hao's mouth.

finally come!

He quickly said the name of the head he wanted.

Excellent rebounding and defense, good pick-and-roll and moving speed, both mid-range shooting ability, 2 meters 11 center, nicknamed "Polish Hammer", Marcin Gortat is also!
Gortat was a second-round pick in 05, but has been stocked by the Magic in Europe.

He really couldn't meet the requirements of the NBA at the time, and it didn't make sense for the Lakers to choose him.

But this time is not the same time. Now that Gortat is playing well in Europe, the Lakers can get him without losing money.

In history, Gortat's label in the early stage of his career was Howard's best substitute, and then he went to the Wizards as the starting center, that is, he has both combat power and potential.

And Mourning will always be old. Even if Gortat can't come this season, he can take over Mourning's class next season.

At least for a long time to come, O'Neal's replacement problem will be solved.

The Lakers moved fast enough. Not long after Sun Hao hung up the phone, they announced the deal on their official website.

The Lakers traded Finley for Grant Hill and Marcin Gortat from the Magic.

After the deal was concluded, it aroused a lot of heated discussions among fans in the forum.

"If you don't get injured, you can become the next Jordan. Playing now is just trying to catch up with who you used to be! Grant Dashan Hill!"

"That's Grant Hill! Overwhelm Jordan!"

"Only seeing Hill play during the Pistons with his own eyes will know how awesome he is! It was he who started the discussion about Jordan's successor!"

"The key is not only getting Hill, but also getting rid of Finley's garbage contract by the way! I can only shout one thing: Kupchak is awesome!"

"Hill recovered last season, averaging 15+5 per game! He shot 51.8% from the field! The Magic's record last season, he played a big role!"

"Hill has always been very strong! As long as he is not injured, he is an All-Star player!"

"The question is will he be healthy? If he is healthy, the Magic will not trade him like this!"

"This is a ticking time bomb! Hill played really well last season, but he couldn't make it to the playoffs!"

"This is a gamble!"

"We only sent Finley! I don't target Finley. He has made great contributions to the team in the past, but his contract is really rubbish!"

"Los Angeles is one of the cities with the best medical care in the United States! Moreover, the Lakers are a veteran team, and the management team and team doctor team are very professional!"

"I'm looking forward to it! The first Jordan successor, and Jordan's first overall successor, the picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it!"

"If Hill is not injured, the Lakers will make a lot of money. They have always lacked a second ball-holding organization point!"

"That's right, and Hill's shooting is accurate, so the opponent will not dare to double-team Sun! This is definitely an underestimated deal!"

"By the way, who is Gortat?"

"Who knows, this kind of hair extension is useless, and I will probably be laid off when it arrives."

"It seems to be a European player too? Could it have something to do with Sun?"

"Sun, Ariza, Hill, Walker, O'Neal, go! go! Lakers dynasty!"

……

The transaction itself is not big, but the repercussions are far greater than expected.

It is also easy to understand that Hill is also a brilliant player after all.

Some people may not know how popular Hill was when he entered the league.

At the time when Jordan was retiring, Hill entered the league in his rookie season and played a dazzling season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.77 steals per game!

That was in 1994, and the gold content of this kind of data close to 20+5+5 was very high.

And his style of play itself is also very gorgeous, which made him overwhelm O'Neal in his rookie season and became the All-Star vote leader!

Many people may have no concept of this vote king.

It is the only one of the four major sports leagues in the history of North America that is a rookie's all-star vote leader!

And in the second year, after Jordan returned, he overwhelmed Jordan to win the All-Star vote!
Just by looking at these, you can see how popular Hill was at the beginning.

Just like McGrady, Iverson, and Rose in the future, when they are no longer super giants, their every move will still attract attention.

After the deal between the Lakers and the Magic was completed, the free market, which had been busy for nearly a month, finally began to calm down.

Of course, the NBA's offseason is very long, and maybe one day before the start of the season, there will be some big deals.

And this year's basketball fans will not be bored, because the World Championships are coming soon!
In the last World Championships, including the last Olympic Games, FIBA ​​used scoring methods to get good reviews. Before the start of the World Championships this time, they did the same.

Here are some things you need to know about this World Championship.

The U.S. team claimed to have sent their strongest lineup, but in fact many players declined the request to go.

For example, Kobe, Kobe announced to the outside world that he wanted to heal his injuries, but Sun Hao knew that with Kobe's personality, after being hacked, he would definitely torture himself crazily this summer.

Another example is Iverson and Duncan. The two were sprayed all over by the fans after their defeat in the 04 Olympics. Naturally, they were not willing to play for the country.

However, this is the case, the Dream Seven team, which has a relatively low sense of historical presence, still has a strong lineup on paper.

James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, the four strongest kings of the 03 generation are all impressively listed.

In addition, they also have "Warcraft" Howard, Brand, one of the most popular protagonists this summer, a new generation of "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, and "little brother" Paul.

Even in response to the inaccurate outside shooting of the US team, they also brought pitchers Shane Battier and Hinrich, and even Brad Miller who could shoot three-pointers inside.

In terms of lineup alone, this team is very strong.

In this context, fiba gave their scores for each team in this World Championship.

Ranked first, the one identified as the "seed player" is... the Chinese team!

That's right, even though the U.S. team has sent what they think is the strongest lineup, the Chinese team is still number one in the scores given by fiba this time.

Seed players!

The Qing Dynasty has become history, and a new era has come!

First, the Chinese team (91 points!)

The 12-man roster of the Chinese team (with scores, scores for fiba games):
Defenders: Sun Hao (96), Liu Wei (72), Sun Yue (69), Zhang Qingpeng (66)

Forwards: Zhu Fangyu (78), Li Nan (74), Wang Shipeng (73), Du Feng (72)

Insiders: Yao Ming (93), Yi Jianlian (85), Wang Zhizhi (79), Battelle (74)

Fiba comment: Sun Hao, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are already all-star players, plus they have excellent outside shooters headed by Zhu Fangyu, the runner-up of the last World Championships and the champion of the last Olympic Games are all enough Explaining the strength of this team, it is unwise to underestimate them as before.

Second, the US team (90 points)
Team USA's 12-man roster:

Guards: Wade (88), Joe Johnson (81), Hinrich (81), Paul (78)

Forwards: Anthony (91), James (90), Antawn Jamison (84), Battier (81)

Inside: Brand (91), Howard (89), Bosh (86), Brad Miller (80)

Fiba comments: The overall strength of the US team is still the strongest in this tournament, but the lack of good enough shooters is still their biggest problem, and this US team has another big problem: game experience, which may make the They are at a disadvantage against old opponents such as the Chinese team and the Argentine team.

Third, Argentina (88 points)
For the Argentine team, Manu Ginobili's score is still the highest, with a score of 89.

Fourth, the Spanish team (86 points)
This is the first time the Spanish team has come to such a high position in the ranking.

Gasol, Calderon and others will play in the NBA, and Garbajosa will also land on the Raptors next season, plus Navarro and others who have performed brilliantly in the European arena.

Just like what Sun Hao experienced, the youth training of Spanish basketball has begun to usher in an explosion after so many years of precipitation.

And it's worth mentioning that Gasol, who Sun Hao hasn't seen for a long time, was also selected for the Spanish national team squad this time!

The big chubby boy, after so many years, has finally grown into a chubby boy!

……

The Chinese team set off for Japan, where the World Championships will be held.

Before departure, as the team leader, Li Yuanwei was also full of pride, and said a confident word to the team members:

"This time, play the World Championships as the Asian Championships!"
