I'm really good at shooting.

You must know that he returned to Los Angeles not because he wanted to return, but because the Clippers paid a high price to trade him back.

So from this point of view, he will be very grateful to the current management.

At the end of his speech, he thanked his opponents along the way, including Sun Hao.

"Without them, I would always be Kobe wearing No. 8, but because of them, I would be Kobe No. 24."

Kobe used a metaphor, but the meaning in his words was already very clear.

Because his change was not because he wanted to change, but because of these opponents.

"Especially Sun, I am looking forward to another duel with him next season. My goal is not only the champion in front of me."

Kobe, this is officially declaring Sun Hao, a friend, as his lifelong enemy.

Although, this has actually been the case a long time ago.

Compared with Alexander when the Mavericks were at the beginning, he is the one who really has this qualification.

Sun Hao, this can be regarded as being shouted from the air.

Still, that's exactly what he wanted.

And at this moment, Sun Hao strengthened his determination to stay in the Warriors.

After a "failure" season, the Warriors' group of lads will grow.

And he also wants to lead them to win back after losing!

West: This wave I'm in space.

Two days after the Clippers won the championship, they held a grand championship parade in Los Angeles.

For the first time in history, Kobe took his Vanessa and daughters to the parade.

After winning this championship, Kobe also valued his family a lot more than before.

Fans in Los Angeles are also extremely excited on this day.

Although this time it is not the Lakers, but counting, this is the seventh championship that Los Angeles has won in the past ten years.

This championship parade has also been carried out 7 times within ten years...

This frequency is even greater than that of Chicago at the beginning, and it is directly catching up with Boston, which won eight consecutive championships.

At the end of the championship parade, Kobe once again delivered a speech as a representative.

At the end of his speech, he also repeated what he said on the night of winning the championship.

He is not satisfied with the championship in front of him, he wants to bring more championships to the Clippers.

This is completely understandable, you must know that the Clippers' main lineup is still at its peak.

A first for the Clippers, another dynasty for LA, and why not?

The Clippers' championship parade ended in the anticipation of the fans, and the 2008-2009 season finally came to an end.

For Sun Hao, although he was not the one who joined halfway to win the championship this time, the experience after participating is also very interesting.

And he is also looking forward to playing against Kobe next season.

Because the Clippers are different from the previous Nuggets.

The Nuggets won the championship with a touch of luck, but the Clippers did not.

In the next few years, they will be one of the strongest teams in the league.

This "lower dog" status gave Sun Hao a sense of returning to the time when he was still playing in Dallas.

That was quite motivating.

Of course, the start of next season is still very early.

A few days later, Sun Hao took Su Feng to New York on a plane.

There, the 2009 NBA draft is about to kick off.

The 2009 NBA draft, a draft that has attracted much attention.

In addition to Curry, there are...

"White Warcraft", Blake Griffin, the imperial champion;

"Uncle Mu's second generation", Hashim Thabeet, who had 10 blocks in three consecutive games at UConn;

The "Spanish Golden Boy" Rubio who shined in the Beijing Olympics;

Former No. 2008 high school in the United States, [-] McDonald's high school MVP, Tyreke Evans, known as the "guard version of James";

James Harden, a foul-making machine who averaged 7.6 free throws per game in college, is known as the next Ginobili's all-around guard;

Arizona's double-double machine, rebounding monster Jordan Hill;

Kamal DeRozan, known as "Carter's successor";

The rare Brandon Jennings who did not play the NCAA after graduating from high school, but went to Europe to play brilliantly;

NCAA rookie of the year last year, Brutalist power forward Tyler Hansbrough;

……

That's basically what was given on this year's draft report.

In media reports, this is a serious draft year.

In the eyes of Sun Hao, who has opened his eyes, this draft is worthy of the name.

Leaving aside Curry, if it weren't for injuries, Griffin, who could leave a lot in history, became the super giant Harden, and the All-Star DeRozan.

These few people alone are enough to support this draft.

And judging from their performance in the first few years of entering the league, they also fully met expectations.

Because apart from these few, Evans played 20+5+5 in his rookie season;

Jennings even had a rookie performance of 55 points in a single game;

Rubio is also a rookie and has become a frequent visitor to the top five.

These are enough to explain the quality of this draft.

Of course, Sun Hao is most concerned about Curry.

Curry's previous draft predictions were as high as the top three, but he didn't know why Curry would have a potential ankle injury later.

Because he knows that in history, Curry has no injury problems in the early stages of his career. It was in the contract year that he had an ankle problem.

Curry's contract extension was very famous at the time.

Curry's talent was not at the top but not bad at the time, but an ankle injury made him miss a lot of games, and many people thought he would fade out of the NBA stage.

Then the Warriors showed courage and renewed him with a four-year, 4 million contract.

This was questioned by many people at the time, because Curry's injury was still relatively serious at the time, and it was not uncommon for someone who was more talented than him to leave the NBA due to injury.

It can be said that the Warriors took a very big risk at that time.

But it turns out that the Warriors finally gambled, and the gamble succeeded.

That contract also suddenly became the most famous "child labor contract" in NBA history.

So the first thing Sun Hao did when he arrived in New York was to find Curry and ask him about his ankle.

"Tell me the truth, Stephen."

Sun Hao looked serious.

He suddenly remembered that when Curry watched the Spurs and Warriors game, he asked if he wanted him to come to the Warriors.

So he thought of a possibility.

"I... well, it's a cover, but I've only told you, except Mr. Jerry."

Curry still couldn't hide his words in front of Uncle Sun Hao.

Sure enough.

"So Dell doesn't even know about this?"

Sun Hao looked a little angry.

That is to say, he regards Curry as his nephew, and he doesn't bother to care about others.

This kind of thing seems really impulsive to him.

As he said at the beginning, Curry's room for improvement to the Warriors is too limited.

And there is another point, the higher the pick, the greater the training of the team.

If Curry really gets a marginal pick in the lottery, it will be far worse than the treatment of the top five or even the top three picks.

"He knows, count him as three people."

But what Curry said made Sun Hao almost fall over.

Boy, you are a bad math teacher!

Moreover, this unexpected answer made Sun Hao prepare a lot of words, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

"Dell agrees too?"

In the end, he still felt a little unbelievable.

The old Curry is his former teammate, he still has some understanding of his personality, and he is not the kind of person who likes to take risks.

"He... said my life is up to me."

"..."

It's true that old Curry really doesn't like taking risks, but he is quite doting on his children.

And to be honest, if it was Sun Hao himself, he should also like such a father.

and many more!

It seems to be led astray!

"Mr. Jerry has already promised me that he will do everything possible to select me. He is very optimistic about me."

Curry's cute face spoke cute words.

West's choice of Curry is optimistic. After all, Curry's physical fitness is not strong or even weak at this time.

On the other hand, it also has something to do with him.

Sun Hao's disciple, no matter how you look at it, this is another bargaining chip left for him.

But Curry has already said this, and Sun Hao can't say anything more.

After all, the deal is done. If Curry has an idea, he can clarify it, but Curry has no idea, and he can't force others to do something.

Everything depends on what will happen in the draft.

With his template, even if there are potential injuries, it is not ruled out that some teams will take the risk of intercepting Hu.

You must know that Curry was expected to go to the Knicks in history, but was cut off by the Warriors in the first pick.

So, before that time, who knows what will happen!

The next day, Sun Hao met with Jerry West, and then went to the Warriors' draft cabin.

"Michael was drunk a few years ago and he shared an incident with us."

Before the draft started, West and Sun Hao started chatting.

And this chatter brought up some old stories related to Sun Hao.

"He said that the Wizards chose Yao because you gave him key advice."

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

Good guy, when Jordan was drunk and told him out, West was there!

This made him and West feel a lot closer at once.

"So I invited you here today, and I also want you to give me some advice during the draft."

West said with a smile.
