I'm really good at shooting.

The Grizzlies' second round is worth money, and they can still earn some cash. This deal is not a loss.

But the problem is, Gasol Jr.'s draft market can't reach here!

This is why the Lakers are not in a hurry to trade up.

You must know that the small Gasol in history fell to the middle of the second round!

Even if his body shape is better than that of the same period in history, it is impossible to climb up so fast!

This result was really unexpected.

Could it be that Jerry West turned into Zhuge Liang and left a kit before leaving Memphis for the Grizzlies to open in the draft. After opening, there was a note inside that read "Mark Gasol" ?

There shouldn't be such a metaphysical thing!

But apart from such metaphysics, Sun Hao didn't know what other explanations he could have.

Of course, such metaphysical things have happened in history. In the 2014 draft, the Raptors selected Bruno Capocolo.

Although the latter is known as the "Brazilian Durant", he never made it to the first round.

This operation of the Grizzlies is as good as that.

In this way, the Lakers are more passive.

After missing Fernandez and Gasol one after another, the Lakers actually have no other good candidates for this pick.

Sun Hao also stopped suggesting and let Kupchak watch it by himself.

At this time, we need to analyze the Lakers' lineup. The changes in the new season will still be relatively large.

Hill, Posey, Payton, Mourning, Zhu Fangyu, Damon Jones, six players whose contracts expired last season.

Hill and Posey Lakers definitely want to stay, but whether they can stay will be a problem;

If Payton was in such a sluggish state last season, he would definitely not stay on the team;

Mourning has announced his retirement after the team completed the dynasty, which means that the Lakers must sign inside;

According to Zhu Fangyu's words, Kupchak will probably stay as the queen thug;

But Damon Jones was not in good shape last season, and there is a high probability that he will need to be replaced, which means that outsiders must also sign;

So for this draft pick, Fernandez and Gasol Jr. can't be selected, and it's almost the same for anyone.

Because the focus of the Lakers' signings will be in the free market.

The draft is still going on, and it will soon be on the Lakers' side.

Stern also saw the Lakers pick live on air.

Kupchak finally chose Sun Yue!

Sun Hao was taken aback when he saw it.

Does this mean to build the Los Angeles Chinese team?

Although in terms of team suitability, it is indeed possible to choose a 3D player like Sun Yue.

Because it is not sure whether Hill and Posey can be kept at the same time, especially in the case of Posey, this can be regarded as a spare tire.

Only in this way, if Zhu Fangyu also renews his contract, three Chinese players in a team must be an NBA record.

If O'Neal retires in the future, he will sign Yao Ming.

Just like what Sun Hao said, this is the real Los Angeles Chinese team!

In the live broadcast, Sun Yue looked a little excited.

Although the draft pick is a bit lower than the previously predicted best pick, that doesn't matter.

Because he went to the Lakers!

The Dynasty team, and there is no need to train with Sun Hao during the offseason in the future, just in the middle of the season!

Not to mention, he still has a chance to play with Sun Hao on the Lakers!

This was very evident when he came down for an interview.

"My dream is to play in the NBA with Sun!"

This sentence is direct enough, comparable to what Kukoc said before he went to the NBA, "My dream is to play with Jordan!"

Of course, Sun Yue's mood is better understood than Kukoc's.

For Chinese players, the NBA is playing overseas after all. Being able to play with people from a country is the best feeling of meeting old friends in a foreign country.

Not to mention that Sun Hao is also the boss of the Chinese team, and Sun Hao's help to him in private.

It would be strange to say otherwise.

A few more important choices in the second round.

The Warriors selected Carl Landry with the 31st pick;

The Celtics paid cash for the 33rd pick and selected Glenn Davis;

The Nuggets selected Ramon Sessions with the 54th overall pick;

The Lakers selected Milovan Rakovic, a center from Russia, with the 60th overall pick.

At this point, the curtain of the NBA draft has officially fallen.

The Lakers finally chose a combo guard and a center, which can be regarded as a spare tire preparation in advance.

But these are all preparatory actions, because after the draft, there will be a free market immediately.

Although there are not as many big fish in the free market this year as last year, there are still a lot.

Vince Carter, Gerard Wallace, Rashard Lewis, Billups...

These names alone are enough to attract people.

Of course, these are not the Lakers' signing goals in theory. Their focus is to keep Hill and Posey, and then make minor repairs.

Soon, the door to the free market opened.

However, one thing that happened at this time completely broke the structure of the Lakers, and it can even be said that the entire league.

Chapter 565 Sun Hao Announces His Retirement! (8K today~)

After the draft, Sun Hao continued to take care of Johnson at home, and also paid attention to the free agent market by the way.

After listening to what the doctor said before, he also considered whether to retire as Jordan once did.

But thinking about it is not that simple, because he is not a simple "individual" now.

Not to mention that he has a contract with the Lakers, and there are so many endorsement contracts, even Stern would not agree.

The impact of Jordan's two retirements on the NBA is still vivid.

Now that another player with the same influence has finally emerged, if Sun Hao also retires at the peak, the loss to the NBA will be immeasurable.

Even considering his global influence, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has brought a huge blow to the game of basketball.

If all goes well, Sun Hao will welcome the birth of a child in January next year.

There is a time for competition, that is, three months in November, December and January.

And doctors say the risk decreases as delivery approaches.

So if you retire because of this, it is a waste of food because of choking.

What Sun Hao can do now is to accompany him with all his strength in Xia Tian.

As for training, he has a system, and training can be carried out within the system without any delay.

Back to the free market.

If nothing else, this year's free agent market is basically full of thunder and rain.

It is difficult for Carter, Wallace, and Billups to leave their home team. The only possibility is Lewis.

Although the Magic's lineup is somewhat different from that in history, Arenas was recruited by the "poison contract" at the beginning, and his annual salary is not high.

So if the Magic wants to clear up the salary space a little bit, they can get Lewis like in history.

In that case, Arenas, Finley, Turkoglu, Lewis, Howard.

This enhanced version of the Magic has a great chance to break out of the Eastern Conference next season.

After all, the two super teams in the Eastern Conference will be weakened to varying degrees next season.

For the Wizards, McGrady still doesn't know when he will come back, and it's unknown how he will be after his comeback.

As for the Celtics, the league's investigation on Garnett is still ongoing. If it is confirmed, the suspension will definitely not go away.

This is the best opportunity not only for the Magic, but also for the Bulls and the Heat.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Shortly after the door to free agency opened, the results of Garnett's investigation came out.

Although Garnett denied Sun Hao's identification as before, but because of Sun Hao's status in the NBA, the league still carefully collected evidence.

The testimony of the referee has become the most critical thing.

Because at that time, apart from the teammates on both sides of the stake, only the referee could clearly hear what Garnett was spraying.

In the end, the referee on duty confirmed that what Garnett sprayed on Sun Hao was indeed racially discriminatory and insulting to his family.

This has also become the most critical part of this investigation.

As soon as the results of the investigation came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

Even because of this survey result, it's not just fans who are discussing this.

In the United States, whites discriminate against blacks, and blacks discriminate against yellows. This is basically a social norm.

However, because of the small number of yellow people, black people's discrimination against yellow people has not received much attention.

But this time, due to Sun Hao's special status, Chi Guoguo put this fact in front of everyone.

The pressure on the league is enormous.

Racial discrimination is a more sensitive topic in the United States than violence.

In history, the owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling, was forced to sell the team because of a racially discriminatory recording, and he also suffered a huge fine.

In the end, the league announced the punishment for the investigation, and Garnett was required to make a public apology, was suspended for 50 games, and fined up to $250 million.

Among them, the amount of fines set the highest in NBA history!

The four words "disaster comes from the mouth" are vividly reflected in this incident.

The Celtics official quickly stated that they accepted the league's punishment and will carry out speech training for the players in the team.

And shortly thereafter, Garnett made a public apology at the press conference.

"We live in a country of freedom and equality. That kind of remarks are very stupid. I sincerely apologize to Sun Hao and hope he can forgive my mistakes. I'm sorry."

Although you can hear his reluctance, but in order to keep his job, he can only choose to give in.

At this point, the emotions of the Lakers fans have been slightly appeased.

However, it is foreseeable that even if Garnett continues to play in the NBA, his living space will be compressed a lot.

However, this is not something that broke the Lakers and the league structure as mentioned before.

The real thing starts after that.

Sun Hao has been accompanying Scarlett carefully.

But there are some things that are useful without companionship.

That very night, Scarlett was once again unwell.

After the family doctor checked, he called Sun Hao, and then drove to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Scarlett was quickly pushed into the emergency room, which made Sun Hao in a daze.

He sat at the door of the emergency room, shaking uncontrollably.

Both his parents and Scarlett's parents came and waited anxiously.
