All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Since in the previous trade with the Suns, the Lakers not only gave away all the team's 2000 draft rights, but also gave away the connections of Rice, Lewis, Fisher and others, so the general manager of the Lakers Jerry West It is clearer than ever...

To stop the rising northern dragon, the current Lakers alone are not enough.

As we all know, in the Michael Jordan era, in order to fight against the Bulls, any ambitious team in the league would hoard a large number of forwards and defenders on the outside.

So West knows...

If they want to deal with Su Feng and further liberate Kobe in the game, while acquiring Kidd, the Lakers must also focus on their perimeter personnel reserves.

But......

As far as the salary cap in 2000 is concerned, the room left for LOGO Man to operate is not as maneuverable as Su Feng's previous life when he formed the Warriors.

Therefore, West also knows very well that this summer, apart from letting the workers use their own initiative, the Lakers have no other way to recruit and strengthen.

So now comes the problem.

Players who have dreamed of wearing a Lakers jersey since they were kids...

them......

Do you want to go "home" now?

As one of the founders of the Bulls' first generation dynasty, Hollis Grant, who once partnered with the Young Sharks during the Magic era, became the first player to respond to the Lakers' "call home" this summer.

In the previous multi-party trade in which the Knicks kicked Ewing out, because of Su Feng's previous life, Rice, the key figure in the deal, was sent to the Suns. Therefore, the Suns naturally replaced the Lakers and became the key player in this deal. One of the major players.

Of course, if Su Feng remembers it correctly, in his previous life, Taiyang would also participate in this deal, but at that time, Taiyang was just a running presence.

So, after this multi-party deal was concluded, the Suns not only successfully got rid of Rice's salary burden, laying a solid foundation for them to sign McGrady in the summer, in addition, after acquiring Grant and multiple draft picks, they also A buyout agreement was reached with Grant immediately.

For the Suns, who decided to build a team with young people such as Tracy McGrady, Marbury, and Lewis as the core in the new season, veterans like Rice and Grant are obviously not the "ideal answer" they want.

According to the NBA's buyout agreement, if no team claims a player 48 hours after he is bought out, then the buyout agreement between Grant and the Suns will be included in the Suns' salary cap.

However, because NBA teams will pay in installments when adopting a buyout agreement, after buying out Grant, Grant's salary included in the Suns' salary cap will be a very small part.

Su Feng's previous life? Including when he was a fan, at first, like most people, he couldn't understand why these NBA teams liked to buy out capable veterans so much. But in fact, in this way, after the original team buys out these veterans, they can not only successfully save money, but also give these veterans the right to pursue their dreams again at the end of their careers.

Therefore, after waiting for the buyout clarification period to end, Grant couldn't wait to express his identity as a Lake honey for 30 years to the world without even thinking about it.

And the LOGO man didn't even think about it? The backhand slap was a basic salary contract, which won the cornerstone of the championship for the Lakers.

However, Grant's arrival successfully solved the Lakers' weakness at the power forward position and renewed their relationship with "Zen Master"...

But after all? This guy is just an inside player after all? He is still far from the LOGO man's idea of ​​organizing a "Su Feng killer group".

And just when the LOGO man was posting "The Lakers' search for a son" everywhere? Michael Jordan also gave the Lakers a divine assist.

In Su Feng's previous life, if you knew enough about the grievances between Jordan and the Wizards, you should know that in fact, Jordan had already reached a private agreement with the Wizards' cheating boss.

For this reason, the Wizards did not hesitate to lay off Richmond, who was reimbursed due to injury, in the 2000/01 season, and also used various tricks to prepare a bunch of high-potential talents and draft picks for the Wizards after Jordan joined. .

certainly......

If the Wizards hadn't asked Jordan to do so many micro-managements related to team building after this, then maybe this Wizards would have risen long ago.

All in all...

Because someone's reputation is surpassing his own at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye, after returning the two-way business to God, this summer, before his ribs were broken by Pierce and Artest, Jordan had indeed been privately communicating with the Wizards A PY agreement was reached.

That is, even if Jordan does not come back in the future, he will join the Wizards' management and use his "unparalleled" overall view and his knowledge reserve as the league's number one "knowledge of football" to form a "general team" for the Wizards. Championship team".

For this reason, when he saw that Richmond was already 35 years old and still receiving such a high salary, Jordan suggested that the Wizards buy this guy out without thinking.

After all, whether it is Jordan or the Wizards management, in their opinion, the Wizards should rebuild next season.

And what if Richmond, who averaged 17+ per game last season, leads the Wizards to win a few more games and the Wizards cannot get good draft picks? What do you think the Wizards should do then?

Therefore, after the Wizards reached a buyout agreement with Richmond, the "Son of the Lakers" finally welcomed a key man this summer.

With a two-year basic salary contract, LOGO Man has easily accomplished what most general managers in this league cannot do.

It has to be said that the history of the Lakers' team building is completely a "family history of free prostitution."

After being built by successive Lakers bosses, and in the hands of Buss, the Lakers not only have a brand advantage unmatched by other teams in the league, but also, Los Angeles, the city of angels, also has its own respect for these stars. attraction.

In addition, the main framework composed of O'Neal, Kidd, and Kobe was too charming. Therefore, like Grant before him, Richmond chose to join the Lakers without much thought.

Before joining the Lakers, Richmond had not considered the Raptors.

But first of all, the cold weather in Canada is not attractive to these American stars. In addition, Richmond is not as superstitious as Barkley that Su Feng will definitely lead him to win the championship.

Therefore, since the Lakers in the Western Conference have also reached the finals in the past two years, then Richmond is also a dignified former NBA All-Star player...

Why would he want to join a team that was already a championship team before he joined?

However, whether it is Grant or Richmond...

Because these two people would have joined the Lakers one after another in the original historical trajectory, in Su Feng's view, these operations of the Lakers did not surprise him.

What really made Su Feng feel the terrible appeal of the Lakers brand this summer...

That would have to be the addition of the third "Son of the Lakers".

And this time, the root cause of all this...

It’s not bullshit, Su Feng has to step up and take the blame.

As we all know, as the top Joe and the top honey in this league, Miami's "magic fortune teller" has been coveting Su Feng and Jordan for more than a day or two.

Among them, especially the young and energetic Su Feng, has already become a knot in Riley's heart.

Su Feng's previous life, if you look at Riley's history with the Heat, you will find that Riley has always been committed to finding the next Jordan.

Whether it's Jones in the early 21st century, Wade after that, or Jimmy Butler later...

Even if he can't get Jordan, he is still looking for players whose style is similar and close to Jordan's as much as possible.

And in this life, from Riley's perspective...

As long as God is willing to give Su Feng to him, he will be willing to let Riley work as a cow and horse for Su Feng.

In fact, Riley had already made up his mind after Su Feng KOed O'Neal in the finals for two consecutive years.

That is......

In this period when Su Feng just renewed his contract with the Raptors, it doesn't matter if he can't get Su Feng.

But the Heat must prepare in advance for Su Feng's next transfer cycle.

As a result, Eddie Jones, who was originally going to be signed by Riley as a "consolation product" this summer, was decisively given up by Riley.

After all, if the Heat's space is locked up because of signing Jones, then when Su Feng jumps out of the last year of his contract with the Raptors, who will Riley talk to to reason with him?

ha?

Do you think Riley's operation of pinning all the team's hopes on Su Feng joining the Heat in the future is a bit too Knicks-y?

That......

so what?

Because Su Feng is strong enough, it's worth it!

Even if he couldn't get Su Feng, Riley would still have to gamble on it!

Otherwise, even after his death, he will not be able to forgive himself!

After all, how come Phil Jackson, a bitch, can coach Michael Jordan, and John Davis, a jackass, can coach Su Feng, but Pat Riley...

But he can only coach Mourning and Hardaway?

Riley knows that in this cruel league, opportunities will not come to him.

Therefore, he must create opportunities for himself.

As for the Heat's performance in the next few years?

that's not important!

As long as we can get Su Feng, what's the point of losing the achievements of the past few years?

No one knows better than Riley that in basketball, you must first have good players before you have a chance to compete for a championship.

So an interesting scene ensues after Riley gives up on Jones.

Because this summer, the strong teams Jones wants to go to have no salary space, and those weak teams are very unattractive to Jones...

so......

Lost Eddie, do you want "home"?

Do you miss the Los Angeles Lakers you once fought for?

Do you remember the snow in Los Angeles, the nightclubs in Los Angeles, and the steakhouses in Los Angeles?

Come......

Finished this bowl of "California Beef Noodles"!

As for Eddie Jones, who is now 29 years old, how can you say that he doesn’t miss the Lakers back then?

You know, in Kobe's rookie season, he was still the little devil following behind him...

Therefore, since there is no suitable team on the market, why not accept the mid-level exception given to him by the Lakers?

One year.

Jones, the "Son of the Lakers," answered Jerry West's call.

Although only for one year.

But in the eyes of LOGO Man, compared with Grant and Richmond before, this is the player he wants most this summer.

At this point, next season, the Lakers will even have five players who have been selected to the All-Stars in the past three years.

Everyone now calls this Lakers...

————"Five-star Lakers".

Toronto.

When the news came that the formation of the "Five-Star Lakers" was completed, Su Feng was stunned at first, and then stunned.

Then......

He kicked Barkley back onto the treadmill with a backhand kick.

What is obvious is that compared with the 98/99 and 99/00 seasons, the Raptors will face a test next season that even Michael Jordan and LeBron James have never experienced.

To be honest, even if there is any big news now, Su Feng will not be surprised by it.

"Su...Su, have you watched the news?"

On this day, in the House of Steel, while Su Feng was busy hammering Carter, Ben suddenly walked up to Su Feng with a look of horror on his face.

After hearing this, Su Feng signaled Ben to calm down, and then said to him calmly: "Ben, how many times have I told you that you are a player who has won two championships, so When things happen, don’t act like a rookie.”

Daben: "..."

As expected of Su Feng!

Is this the courage of the first active player in the NBA?

Even if Grant Hill joins the Suns, can you remain calm and composed?

"Huh? What did you say!?"

Su Feng was shocked.

This time I was really shocked.

And it’s still a surprise!

In October, when people were busy discussing whether the "five-star Lakers" could end the Raptors' dominance of the NBA...

The Suns and Pistons have officially reached a deal for Grant Hill, the second small forward in the Eastern Conference.

In this deal, through a sign-and-trade, the Suns will send Clifford Robinson and Anfernee Hardaway as well as several draft picks the team received in the Ewing multi-party trade... .

And they will be trading back from the Pistons...

——Grant Hill.

At this point, Hill got his "Pippen", and McGrady also got his "deputy" after starting a new business.

"I'll drop Westbrook!"

Good guy!

Su Feng directly hit a good guy on the public screen.

To be fair, in this league, in Su Feng's opinion, there is probably no team that is more suitable for Hill than the Suns.

Because as for Hill’s knee that is about to collapse, besides the miracle doctor of the sun, who else can save it?

In Su Feng's previous life, even after Hill was reimbursed N times, the miracle doctor of the sun was able to repair him and reinstall an eight-cylinder engine on him...

One thing to say, this is really not Su Feng's just following others' nonsense and bragging about the Suns' miracle doctors.

But...

People can indeed repair these top-notch supercars...

Plus, after the Suns complete this deal...

Hong Kong, in the current league, even the Raptors will be outclassed by the Suns in terms of potential.

Marion, Hill, McGrady, Lewis...

Tsk tsk!

That is to say, this Suns is missing Nash, and the main point guard is Fisher, a fool.

Otherwise, what a terrible team this would be?

Dry......

Well done!

"Sure enough, even if she leaves the Raptors, Tracy's heart is still with Toronto."

On this day, Su Feng thought happily while rubbing Carter's dog's head angrily.

Regardless of the short term, the Suns will not be able to pose a threat to the Raptors for a while...

But as long as this sun can be guided by a good teacher...

What about the five-star Lakers?

O'Neal should wait until he is slipped by the Suns in the Western Conference Finals and cry...

At that time, even if the Lakers have passed the Suns and there are still Mavericks, they will still have to shed their skin.

…

Although there are still a few days until the start of the new season...

But Su Feng had already felt that this violent era was setting the stage for the stars who were about to take the stage.

What bullshit best of times and worst of times?

In Su Feng's view, the next few years will probably be the most miserable years in the NBA.

In the East, whether it is the championship group led by the Raptors, Celtics, and Philadelphia, or in the West, the powerful Western Conference led by the Lakers, Mavericks, and Suns, or the cutting-edge divisions like the Nets... .

Anyway...

As a fan, Su Feng would quite like to see this.

But as a player...

In order to welcome the new season in the best condition, Su Feng discovered that in the past summer, although he earned hundreds of millions in "iron value" with the bonus of the national competition in the Olympic Games...

However, time is really not enough now.

On the 15th, before the start of the new season's preseason, the NBA announced several rules that will be officially launched in the new season.

First of all, the famous HC rules will be canceled starting from the 00/01 season.

Of course, in order to allow players to adapt to the NBA without HC rules, at the regular meeting of the referee team before the start of the new season, this group of referees who have adhered to the "fair, open and just" principles since the Stern era were very clear , in the next three to five years, they need to give the players some time so that they can gradually adapt to the NBA without HC rules.

In addition, starting from the 00/01 season, the three-second defensive rule will be officially launched in the NBA.

In this way, although the NBA will allow teams to use zone defense starting from next season, in fact...

In the late 1990s, when teams had widely used "pseudo zone defense", the introduction of the defensive three seconds weakened the "true zone defense" in a sense.

Because of this rule, big centers cannot always stay at the basket to help the team defend. Therefore, in the future, mobile fortresses like the "Boxing Champion" will gradually become the first choice for inside players for each team in the league.

This is one of the reasons why Su Feng previously suggested that Xiao Yao maintain his weight at around 133 kg to 135 kg.

Because after the NBA introduced the defensive three-second rule, centers must make up for it.

It is worth mentioning that after the NBA's new rules were announced, O'Neal also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the league in an interview.

Because in his opinion, today's league is too biased towards outside players.

However, O'Neal may not believe it...

In fact, even if the NBA changes the rules, for him in his peak period, the only way to stop him is free throws.

On the 17th, while O'Neal was still protesting against the league's new rules, the Raptors' new preseason began without Su Feng, Nash, Carter and Barkley.

In the end, in the 7 preseason games of the new season, the Raptors had 2 wins and 5 losses, becoming one of the teams with the worst preseason results.

However, in this preseason, O'Neal Jr.'s progress and Stephen Jackson's adaptability surprised many fans.

In the words of CCTV commentator Zhang Weiping, who broadcast the NBA preseason game live for the first time this year...

"Hey, this little O'Neal, this three-point shot almost stunned the opponent... and this Jackson, although the basket is a little bit behind, his defense is really good."

In addition, because Su Feng missed all the games in the preseason, the Philadelphia Gang on the other side has become the focus of Chinese fans.

In the team's 7 preseason games in the new season, Xiao Yao, as the No. 1 pick, played in 4 of them, averaging 18 minutes per game and scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Because Yao Ming didn't play much in the preseason, so for the Rabbits, what impressed them most about Yao was probably what happened in Yao's first game of the preseason.

At that time, during the game between the Philadelphia Gangsters and the Celtics, Marbury knocked down Yao Ming in an attack. So after Marbury made a mid-range shot, he taunted Yao Ming with some nasty words.

result......

The next second...

Iverson, who was wearing the same headband as Su Feng, pushed Marbury away.

And when he noticed that the person who came to attack him was Iverson...

Marbury was wronged.

Because Iverson had helped him in the new season, and Iverson's status among black players has always been extremely high, so how can Marbury dare to talk back?

have to......

In this life, Boss Fu is gone.

But Boss Jie Ai...

No matter how you look at it, he is more vicious than Francis.

"Brother Feng, I heard Dazhi say that in the NBA, rookie players seem to have to help old players carry their bags, right?" On this day, after Xiao Yao finished his preseason game, he immediately asked Called Su Feng's number.

"It seems...right?"

And because a lot of time has passed since his rookie season, Su Feng can no longer remember whether he helped anyone carry bags during his rookie season.

Anyway, Carter must have helped him carry the bag.

"But Brother Feng...why do they avoid me when I want to help old players carry their bags?" Xiao Yao asked with confusion on the phone.

And at this time...

Su Feng admitted that he was sore again.

Because he remembered.

During his rookie season, because Iverson and Ben were too vicious, the Philadelphia Iron Triangle usually bullied others. How could others dare to bully them?

"well!"

Goodbye, Alan.

On this day, Su Feng, who specifically asked the assistant coach to come to the Philadelphia Gangster preseason game video, noticed the scene of Iverson and Xiao Yao talking and laughing. Suddenly, he suddenly understood that Kobe was watching him and Iverson. The mood when playing together with Ferson...

And so far...

After putting the headband of the same style as Iverson into the drawer, starting from the 00/01 season, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net will no longer have the legends of "Hairband Maple" and "Explosive Branch" in the world.

And instead...

Will be a Kobe who aims to surpass Su Feng...

And Su Feng, who aims to surpass Michael Jordan.

Season 00/01…

here we go!

…
