After thinking about it, Wang Hao added this skill point to his explosive power. As a whole, his explosive power was a bit weak.

With an evaluation of less than 70, the overall is just passing, let alone with NBA players, even on the field, there is no advantage.

This is a common problem with Asian players, or most yellow or even Caucasian athletes.

Salt Lake City is located in the Midwest of the United States. It is a typical inland city. In comparison, it is not as developed as those coastal cities.

The resident population of the urban area is only about 20, which also makes Salt Lake City not a big ball city.

However, the Jazz's home court has always been terrifying, mainly because the team has performed well in recent years.

It's a pity that although his strength is good, his dribbling is a little bit worse.

Collided with the Bulls at their peak, and met the omnipotent Jordan, the result was naturally lost.

It was hard to survive until Jordan retired twice, but he hit Mosaic again, and the Spurs with the twin towers.

If we talk about the 98-99 season, because of labor negotiation problems, the season has shrunk, and the Spurs' championship has certain accidental factors.

Then next, the Jazz will have a chance?
Well, at this moment, the OK combination stood up and contracted the next three championships.

Three years later, the Jazz had already sunk down, and even Malone had to choose to sign up for the team.

It's so miserable, I've never seen it before.

During the 90s, the Jazz reached the Finals twice and the Western Conference Finals five times, without winning a championship.

It can be said that the performance of the Jazz is definitely one of the best teams in the NBA in the 90s.

It's a pity that people remember the Bulls, Mosaic, and even the Spurs, but they don't remember it.

Wang Hao is not interested in the Jazz. After all, such an unlucky team is really rare.

Moreover, although Jerry Sloan is an excellent head coach, his thinking and style are somewhat solidified.

Sticking to the pick-and-roll is not to say that the pick-and-roll is not good. As a classic NBA tactic, the pick-and-roll will never be outdated.

It's just that flexibility and adapting to local conditions are the best tactics to adapt to the ever-improving arena.

Jerry Sloan can guarantee a player and keep the team's lower limit, but there is no way to stimulate their upper limit.

The Rocky Mountain Summer League is hosted by the Jazz, and the venue of the game is naturally the Delta Airline Center, the home of the Jazz.

The so-called Delta Air Lines Center was actually the later Energy Solutions Arena, but with a different title sponsor.

This year, a total of 14 teams participated in the Rocky Mountain Summer League, including nearly half of the NBA teams.

The Las Vegas Summer League of later generations is known as the second league in the world. In fact, today's Rocky Mountain is already.

It's a pity that now that the Rocky Mountain League has faintly reached its peak, it has also inevitably declined.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Hao, he is only here to play, and he does not plan to play in the second summer league.

The 14 teams will be divided into two groups, with 7 teams in each group, and a round-robin match will be played within the group.

At the end of the round robin, the top four teams in each group will enter the quarterfinals, and then a single round of elimination.

The first player in Group A plays the fourth player in Group B. According to this rule, the final four will be decided.

The Sonics were assigned to Group B. The six opponents in the same group were the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Wizards.

Originally, the most concerned of the seven teams must be the Vancouver Grizzlies, because they have this year's second pick.

However, Francis did not go to Vancouver in the end.

I have to say that John McCaw, the owner of the Grizzlies, is really cowardly, so he compromised like this?
If it were him, he wouldn't sign the contract, right?That's fine, anyway, I have the right to sign your contract, so what do I think you should do?
Well, I have to say that the owner of an NBA team is worthy of being a businessman. Although he has a temper, making money is more important.

According to Wang Hao's memory, the Grizzlies will not stay in Vancouver for too long and will move to Memphis soon.

In other words, the current Grizzlies owner John McCaw does not intend to stick to it, and the boss is about to change.

There is no No. [-] pick, but there is a No. [-] pick, and more than that, Baron Davis and Odom with the third and fourth picks are also here.

The competition system of the summer league is different from that of the NBA. There are 4 quarters, and each quarter is only 10 minutes.

In the case of overtime, each overtime is only played for 2 minutes, and the second overtime is a sudden death system.

That is to say, in the second overtime, whichever team scores first will win, which is a bit like the golden ball system in football games.

In terms of fouls, 10 fouls will result in a ejection, mainly to allow college players to adapt to NBA penalties.

Free throws will only be initiated if the team fouls more than 10 times, if the accumulated fouls are less than 10 times.

Then in the last 2 minutes of each quarter, after receiving 2 fouls, free throws will start.

In general, such a game system is set up for the personal display of players.

After all, that's the main purpose of Summer League, to scout rookies and free agents.

On July 7, at two o'clock at noon, Field led the Sonics players to the Delta Airlines Center.

The opening game of the Rockies Summer League is played by the Charlotte Hornets and Jazz, with the Sonics scheduled for Game [-].

When I entered the stadium, there were some fans sitting sparsely in the stands of the arena, about three to four thousand people.

You know, this is a game for the Jazz, and the attendance rate is so low, let alone a game for other teams.

When I came to the stands, the game was still going on in the fourth quarter, and the score was 98:86.

Facing the Hornets with the No. [-] pick, the Jazz are really exhausted and unable to cope.

Although Quincy Lewis is also the No. 19 pick, it's just that he has obviously not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA.

On the other hand, Baron Davis was really very energetic. Several breakthroughs in a row made the Jazz's insides turn upside down.

However, it is not so easy for Baron Davis to become the starter of the Hornets.

Eddie Jones, who made room for Kobe, and David Wesley are not easily surpassed by Baron Davis.
