I'm really good at shooting.

Old Nelson felt a little pity after hearing this.
But he had heard that Curry and Durant had participated in Sun Hao's personal training camp together, and they got along well?
In the follow-up, he can learn something from Durant.
After the two chatted, Sun Hao also returned to the auditorium.
It's almost the end of the first round.
Before proceeding to the Lakers' draft pick, Stern first announced the Lakers' deal.
The Lakers used the No. 25 pick in their hands as a bargaining chip deal, and exchanged for the Wizards' No. 30 pick, as well as a future second-round pick.
This is a pretty regular down trade.
The Wizards selected Shannon Brown with the 25th overall pick.
In the finals, Lu is no longer as brave as before, and it is an inevitable choice for the Wizards to supplement point guards.
Brown is a combo guard with a height of 1 meters, and his physical fitness is superb, especially his jumping ability, which is very good for the Wizards.
The Lakers' deal also shows that Kupchak has adopted Sun Hao's suggestion.
"With the 2006th pick in the first round in 30, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Paul Millsap, a 2-meter power forward from Louisiana Tech."
The fact is indeed the case, the Lakers really chose Millsap!
The result of this choice came out, and the Lakers fans on the scene were also a little confused.
After all, fans' understanding of players is definitely not as good as that of the team's management.
All they can see is the draft predictions. Seeing that the Lakers used the first round to pick a prediction and the second round was interrupted, it is normal to have doubts.
However, unlike the previous Warriors fans, the performance of the Lakers with 7 championships in the past 5 years has accumulated enough self-confidence for them.
So doubts are doubts. When Millsap came to the stage with a face of surprise, they still gave applause and cheers.
This made Millsap's face even more joyful.
Stern, who shook hands with him, also had a smile on his face, because this is the last work of the old man tonight.
Overall, Millsap's draft experience is full.
And it's very interesting that after checking the relevant information, the fans are quite optimistic about Millsap.
Although the talent is not too good, and the technology is not too outstanding, but he is really suitable for the Lakers.
On the offensive end, he has a very good one-and-a-half interception ability, which allows him to partner with O'Neal or Mourning at the same time.
On the defensive end, his wingspan is outstanding and his confrontation is tough, which allows him to perform well on the defensive end.
In addition, his rebounding ability is exceptionally good, and he has been the NCAA's rebounding champion for three consecutive years!
Last season, he averaged 12.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is good enough for a 2 meter insider.
So in general, although the Lakers came unexpectedly at the end of the first round, there is no major problem, but it is very exciting.
Some people may ask, why didn't the Lakers trade down two second rounds?In this way, in addition to selecting Millsap, another one can be selected.
Here comes the small abacus.
First-round picks have dead contracts, especially at the end of the first round. To put it bluntly, it is four years of child labor.
But for the second-round picks, most of them are on two-year contracts, and they have to be renewed after the game.
So if you are optimistic about a player and want to keep him for a long time, most teams will choose the end of the first round.
The decision made by the Lakers also means that they believe in Sun Hao's vision.
It's not just "The Emperor's Wrath", after all, Sun Hao has given Jordan those successful suggestions before.
The Lakers didn't have a good choice in the second round, and in the end they just randomly picked an insider to scratch the lottery at the end.
Some people may say that there are undrafted picks every year, why doesn't Sun Hao suggest one?
This year, there really is Jose Barea, the man in history that James can't even beat.
The reason why Sun Hao didn't suggest is also very simple.
The Lakers obviously have enough point guards. It is really unnecessary to choose Barea to sit on the bench, and it is a waste of each other.
The NBA draft finally came to an end, and Durant's election as the No. [-] pick was the focus of heated discussions among fans on this day.
Well, the doubts didn't end with the draft.
But it's not surprising. In history, Durant had a lot of doubts when he was drafted, and fans kept complaining about him in the two years of leveling.
Now that Durant is running for the election ahead of schedule and has won the No. [-] pick, it would be strange if there were no doubts about it.
And Sun Hao soon saw a dumbfounding thing.
Durant, this guy opened a trumpet and went to fight with people online.
After reading it, he knew he still had to say something.
After all, I said before that I need to take care of it.
"Kevin Durant, the next superstar!"
Sun Hao rarely posted a personal status on Facebook.
And he also asked for a photo of Durant and Stern from the media, and posted them together.
One stone caused a thousand waves, and after Sun Hao posted this on Facebook, Durant's reputation improved by half in an instant.
Don't ask why, Sun Hao's current fan base is too large.
In the past, fans ridiculed that Kobe had 60 billion fans, and Sun Hao's current popularity will only be more exaggerated.
Sun Hao's rare public support for a player, how could they be indifferent.
Ever since, while eating crispy noodles, Durant, who kept switching trumpet logins, was once again overwhelmed with emotion.
Scholar die for the confidant!
Sun Hao is really kind to him!
In the future, whoever robs him of the title of Sun Hao's loyal fan, he will be anxious with whom!
……
After the draft, the fans' attention immediately shifted to the upcoming free market.
There are not many big fish in the free market this year. Big Ben, Peja Stojakovic, and Terry are a few big fish, and then there are role players like Barbosa and Tim Thomas.
However, this year's player market will not be as calm as in the past.
Because before the end of the season, many teams and players were already restless.
For example, the Celtics have already put Gasol on the shelf, waiting for the one with the highest price.
Similar to the Nuggets, they want to find a powerful helper for James this summer.
According to reliable sources, it is said that James is very interested in Kidd and has said in public that Kidd is the player he most wants to partner with.
Of course, compared to these false news, before the door of the free market opened, a piece of news from Minnesota shook the entire league:
Garnett, want to go to Los Angeles!
Chapter 476 Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
There is no doubt about Garnett's strength and fame. Two years earlier, he was as famous as Duncan and Nowitzki, competing for the existence of MVP.
But it was two years earlier.
With the disintegration of the Timberwolves "three-headed monster", the record of the Timberwolves has gone from bad to worse, and the team management has not been able to find a good helper for Garnett.
It may be hard to say, but the Timberwolves haven't made the playoffs for several years in a row.
This is kind of torment for Garnett.
As a star who entered the league in the 90s, he is the kind of star who has the imprint of "one man, one city" in his bones, but the current situation of the team makes him very confused.
Because if there is no change, he will soon be so muddled that he will retire.
You must know that time has passed, and he is already 30 years old in a blink of an eye.
The career career of inside players is generally lower than that of outsiders, and he will soon join the ranks of Elgin Baylor and their "uncrowned kings".
So after struggling for so long, he finally decided to change teams.
Don't be surprised, in history, Garnett decided to leave the team in 07.
Now that the Lakers have won consecutive championships again, the pressure and temptation are great. It is too normal for him to have ideas a year in advance.
And the Timberwolves management also respects Garnett.
Dedicated to Minnesota for ten years of career, regardless of the ups and downs of the team, this dedication has done its best for the team and the city.
And what I have to mention at this time is the city of Minnesota, because it is located in the extreme north, few stars are willing to go there.
In fact, the Timberwolves, which only joined the NBA in 1989, had always been the bottom team before Garnett was selected.
It can be said that Garnett is the only totem of their team.
So now that Garnett is leaving, not only did they not stop him, but they will do their best to help him get to the team he wants to go to.
Garnett, want to go to the Lakers.
A few years ago, he was abused by the Mavericks in the Timberwolves for 58 points twice, so he also got the nickname "58 Special".
At that time, he was very angry, and wanted to lead the team to achieve results to prove himself.
It's just that the reality is that the Timberwolves are not getting better year after year. He went from angry to autistic, and now he is looking away.
Who doesn't have a black spot in his career, Jordan was beaten by the Pistons before the three consecutive championships!
So after seeing it, he felt more relaxed, and even had a desire to be teammates with Sun Hao in his heart.
His thinking is also very clear, since he is leaving, he must choose the best one if he wants to choose a new partner.
There is nothing more suitable for Sun Hao to win three championships in six years.
There is a saying that if you don't fight, you don't know each other.
And this is also a very good opportunity.
Some people may say why don't the Lakers take advantage of the formation of the Big Three?
That's almost impossible.
First of all, most of the Lakers' first rounds are at the end of the first round, which is completely worthless.
The Timberwolves will try their best to help Garnett, but they will not be so stupid as to exchange a super giant for a bunch of late first-round picks.
As for other players, except for Sun Hao and O'Neal, the trade value of the rest of the Lakers is completely unequal to Garnett.
So the only possibility to trade with the Lakers is O'Neal.
Two years ago, Garnett's trade value was about the same as O'Neal's.
Today, two years later, the value of the deal between the two is greater for Garnett, but not too much.
O'Neal is due to his age, and Garnett has been unable to lead the team to the playoffs for several years in a row, and the transaction value of both of them is declining.
In addition, during the championship parade, Bass Jr. publicly announced that he would solve the aging problem of the team.
It is the best solution to replace O'Neal with a super giant who is in his prime.
This is also the so-called opportunity.
In fact, after this news report came out, the Lakers fans reacted extremely strongly, and they were divided into two rows with opposing views.
Opposing fans:
"I just said that Shaq is the second player in team history, and now I am so anxious to trade him away? Business is just business?"
"If Shaq is really traded away, then I will not watch the Lakers again. The Lakers should not be a team without warmth."
"Is Garnett suitable for the Lakers? Look at his style of fighting and retreating. I think his style is destined not to win a championship!"
"Has Shaq's performance in G6 last season been forgotten by you so quickly? Without him, we may not be able to defend the title!"
