I'm really good at shooting.

In the video, he holds Sun Hao's Warriors No. 1 jersey in one hand and an igniter in the other.

Just when people thought he was going to burn Sun Hao's jersey, he took the igniter away, took out a piece of paper and put it in front of the camera.

On that piece of paper was written a sentence: Thank you for everything you have done for the Warriors.

Then, there was another piece of paper with another sentence written on it: Go and fulfill the promise you made.

Not long after the video came out, it attracted many fans' likes on social media.

This also includes a considerable number of Warriors fans.

Although Jerry West's strategy was involved when Sun Hao joined the Warriors, in the end it was Sun Hao who made the decision.

If Sun Hao really has no idea about the Warriors, then West is useless even if Zhuge is alive.

Everyone can see the changes Sun Hao brought to the Warriors.

He helped Durant grow, he also helped Curry grow, and he sacrificed a lot of possessions in order to do that.

Even because of that, he was criticized by many fans as inferior to Jordan, Kobe and the like.

But last season, and now, looking at what he has done, the way of focusing on the future is not something ordinary people can do.

So they must be grateful to Sun Hao.

Not to mention the current strength of the Warriors, even without Sun Hao, they still have a chance to attack the dynasty.

A few days later, Sun Hao returned to Los Angeles.

After being stuck in the airport for a long time before coming out, he also returned to the Staples Center.

The Lakers have not yet determined who will take over, so everything is still running as before.

It was Jenny Bass who came to receive Sun Hao.

Because they arrived half a day later than expected, Jenny and the others also waited there for a long time.

But even so, Jenny was still very polite to Sun Hao this time.

This is also completely normal. It is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Hao is the Lakers' life-saving straw.

Sun Hao didn't care about these either.

Before making a decision, many things are considered by him.

But after making a decision, many of the things he considered became things he needed to adapt to.

This is something that people must learn in order to be successful.

After a brief meeting, it's time for the signing and the subsequent press conference.

The reason why Sun Hao signed a 2+1 contract with the Warriors before is because he has played in the NBA for more than ten years.

This time the contract he signed, the starting salary can already be 35% of the salary cap.

However, according to the new labor agreement just reached, because of the team change, Sun Hao and the Lakers can only reach a maximum salary contract of 4 years at most.

So this time, the two parties signed a 3+1 contract, so that after four years, Sun Hao will reach the age of 33, and he can renew the last maximum salary contract with the Lakers.

Moreover, in this contract, the Lakers added a "transaction veto" in order to show their sincerity.

Unless Sun Hao agrees, the Lakers cannot trade Sun Hao to other teams.

Although the possibility of the Lakers trading Sun Hao is almost non-existent, the existence of this clause is a great respect for Sun Hao.

After signing the contract, Sun Hao met Butler, Knight, and Andrew Goodlock in another room of the arena.

These three are rookies picked by the Lakers in the previous draft this year.

Before he returned to Los Angeles, they had already signed a formal contract with the Lakers, but they hadn't had time to meet the fans.

This time when Sun Hao came back, the Lakers naturally made a one-time arrangement.

Sun Hao has a good impression of Knight and Butler, after all, both of them are known for their hard work.

This kind of rookie is even easier to lead than the Warriors.

Because you don't need to say much at all, just teach them some basketball skills.

After a while you will find that they have learned everything you taught them.

As for Goodlock, Sun Hao doesn't have much impression, he only knows that he is also a famous CBA star, and because his name also has the nickname "good.lucky", that is, "good luck".

But after chatting for a few words, unlike Butler who is not good at talking and Knight who is gentle and refined, this guy is a good chatterbox, more like a black man.

After meeting, they went on to attend the press conference together.

When they arrived, there were many reporters eating at the press conference.

Like Jenny, they have been waiting here for a long time.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

Because Sun Hao wasn't sure when he would be able to come, they could only make do on the spot.

When Sun Hao came in, there was a rustling sound, and the reporters quickly tidied themselves up.

"Sorry, I'm here two years later than expected."

After sitting down, Sun Hao took the microphone and said a word with a smile.

Just this sentence made the reporters on the scene burst into laughter.

Originally, Sun Hao should have come back with the Lakers more than two years ago, but he went to the Warriors, so he didn't have the opportunity to hold a press conference in Los Angeles.

Now more than two years have passed, and he is still back.

And not only because of this authentic American humor, but also because of the familiar feeling.

When Sun Hao was still in Los Angeles, he was also famous for his humor.

At this moment, the first feeling of so many reporters in the audience is just like the official headline of the Lakers:

Just came back, but it seems like he never left.

A sentence is equivalent to saying hello, and then there is a questioning session.

Butler and the others were just watching the show, because from the beginning of the questioning session, all the questions were directed at Sun Hao.

There are many aspects of the problem.

Why did you choose to return to Los Angeles, what do you think of the current lineup of the Lakers, do you have the confidence to lead the Lakers to win the championship again, and so on.

Sun Hao had basically anticipated these questions in advance, and answered them fluently.

"Like I said on social media, it's not just Jerry's dying wish, it's because of the promise I made to the Los Angeles fans."

"The Lakers are young but have great potential, just like the Warriors I just went to two years ago."

"I said, I'm coming back to fulfill my promise, maybe that will be a big challenge, but that's what attracts me."

……

Sun Hao's answers always make people feel comfortable, satisfied, and rewarding.

The overall atmosphere of the press conference was the same as before, which can be described as harmonious.

But there are always some people or media that are special.

For example, the reporter of FOX Sports, the questions he asked after getting up seemed a bit sharp.

"Will you regret leaving the Warriors, or blame yourself? Because you had the opportunity to lead them to the first dynasty in team history, and even more championships."

As soon as this question came out, there was a commotion at the scene.

Sun Hao was also a little surprised, but he didn't show any displeasure.

This question is definitely inevitable, the only difference is when and where it is asked.

"No, the group of young people in the Warriors are better than we imagined. Without me, they still have a great chance to hit the dynasty."

Sun Hao's answer at the beginning was very serious.

But the next sentence after finishing speaking was very naughty.

"Of course, if they beat the Lakers."

The added sentence later made the conference scene burst into laughter again.

This sentence is neither humble nor overbearing, and the key is that Sun Hao, as the No.1 in the league, can bring the Lakers, even such a Lakers team, an incomparably huge improvement.

So this is a humorous sentence, but it is also a kind of kingly breath.

What can best echo this sentence is that after Sun Hao returned to the Lakers, in ESPN's strength list, the Lakers entered the top five immediately, only after the Warriors, Knicks, Bulls and Grizzlies, Higher than the Clippers next door.

You must know that the Lakers did not make the playoffs last season!

After the Lakers signed Sun Hao, the core members of the lineup are now: Sun Hao, Carter, Knight, Butler, Millsap, Hibbert.

The lower limit of this lineup is actually not low, but because there are many young players, if you want to further improve your strength, you have to make some reinforcements in the free market, especially signing some experienced players back.

But this will be a challenging job for Kupchak.

Because there are not many free agents this year, plus a batch of suspensions before going overseas to play.

Like Deron Williams with the "NBA" opt-out clause, coming back after the lockout ended.

But there are some people like JR Smith and Wilson Chandler who went to China, because without this clause, they can't come back at this time.

And don't look at the fact that the Lakers don't have many players now, but Sun Hao is 35% of the "super top recruits", Carter is the last year of the maximum salary, and although Millsap is not the maximum salary, he still has an annual salary of about [-] million.

The Lakers' reinforcement space is not as big as expected.

But one thing to note is that in a fish tank, there will be a following phenomenon.

That is, wherever the big fish go, there will be many medium-sized or small fish following them.

In other words, now that Sun Hao is with the Lakers, many of those few free agents will definitely come with ideas.

So the next period of time will be very interesting.

Let's take a look at the bigger fish in the free market first.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, Gasol Jr., Jeff Green and others who have renewed their contracts, and Ray Allen who has executed the contract, the remaining players include:

Oden and Landry of the Warriors, Tyson Chandler of the Mavericks, Battier of the Trail Blazers, Jamal Crawford of the Hawks, Afflalo of the Nuggets Restricted), Nene of the 76ers, Thaddeus Young (restricted), Jordan Jr. of the Grizzlies (restricted), Redd of the Bucks, Kirilenko of the Jazz...

It's just that before these players and fish started to swim, a wave of bombs suddenly came from the free market.

The person who made this bomb was "Warcraft" Howard, who had already been rumored to be at odds with the team!

Chapter 658 New Alliance Pattern

All of this has a lot to do with Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles.

Originally, the Magic traded for Louis Williams, which temporarily appeased Howard.

But this time Sun Hao returned to the Lakers, or as soon as he left the Warriors, his thoughts immediately changed again.

Some people may say, is there a connection between the two?

Of course!

As I said before, if Sun Hao continues to stay in the Warriors, the Warriors dynasty is almost certain.

So after the management of the Magic team responded to their protest and made the best effort, Howard also recognized it.

After all, no matter how hard it is, it is impossible for the Magic to beat the Warriors, and it is enough to get the respect they want.

But now that Sun Hao has left, the situation is of course different!

It is true that the Warriors are still very strong, but it is nonsense to say that they are as strong as when Sun Hao was there.

Or in other words, the current Warriors have become not invincible!

His already bohemian heart naturally became restless again.

He asked the management to do more, and even directly asked the management to replace Lewis with a more worthy player.

But Lewis is now a typical premium contract, and it can't be said that he can change it if he wants to.

Let's talk about Lewis itself.

Orlando's small locality can't attract big names, so signing Lewis is already very good.
