Ball Steal Specialist (Bronze): Slightly increases the chance of stealing the ball from the opponent's ball handler, and slightly reduces the chance of a foul in the wave; Slightly increases the chances of success in a layup.

This badge ...... It's a bit of Dior!

Judging from the badges obtained before, most of them have only one effect.

But this badge is one of the few two.

Although these two are one type in terms of function, they are actually in two defensive forms.

One is when you're defending on the outside, and the other is when you're defending on the inside.

This more than a month of high-intensity training is worth it!

After successfully unlocking the badge, Sun Hao ...... Of course, the camp was not disbanded immediately.

This just got the badge, of course, it's going to get used to it!

However, Durant didn't have to go back long because the Warriors' training camp was about to start.

The Warriors' personnel changes over the summer were significant.

Gone Byron Davis, came Big Ben, and by the way, Calderon was added.

In fact, don't say it, Sun Hao suddenly felt that the Warriors also had a chance to make the playoffs in the West.

Calderon, Jason Richardson, Durant, Jamison, Big Ben.

Also on the bench were Dunleavy Jr., Matt Barnes, Wang Zhizhi and Biedrins.

This lineup is difficult to swing.

I have to say that the old Nelson played operations really well.

From a management's point of view, it's a lineup that can be attacked, defended, and defended.

If you play well and enter the playoffs, it is also very good, if you don't play well, you will not lose anything if you give Durant training in the middle of the season.

As soon as Durant left, Curry Jr. and Beasley suffered.

Especially after Sun Hao has a badge, his defensive ability has been significantly improved.

These two genius teenagers who have not yet "developed well" have been hit a little.

Especially Beasley.

At first, he was a little proud, he was just a high school student, and he could score at will in front of the first person in the NBA.

But until now, he will often be cut by Sun Hao, which makes him can't help but start to doubt himself.

His style of play is very similar to Anthony, and he also has strength and talent, but after all, he is not really Anthony.

When the Lakers are about to open a training camp, Sun Hao announced the end of the training camp of the "Evolution House".

Curry Jr. and Beasley both left with tired bodies.

They were tortured by Sun Hao.

"See you next summer!"

Sun Hao looked at the backs of the two of them, and suddenly remembered something and shouted.

As a result, as soon as he finished shouting, the two of them ran away as soon as they smoked.

"Ahem......"

Sun Hao coughed dryly.

It looks like we're going to have to change people next year.

……

The training camps of various teams are opening one after another, and the footsteps of the new NBA season are approaching.

When Sun Hao went to play the World Championships, the Lakers had already completed the summer roster change.

Compared to last season, this is a big change.

After the Lakers won two consecutive championships last season, there are veterans who have chosen to retire.

Kukoc on the inside, and Christie on the outside.

Kukoc is getting older, and he even got a championship ring before retiring, and he has earned blood.

Christie, on the other hand, has something special.

He's 36 years old, which is an age for a defender to play.

But he knows his fitness and will be on the bench most of the time for another season.

So he retired a little earlier to make room for the team.

The Lakers also exemplified a wave of team culture after seeing him make such a choice.

Because he retired early before his contract ended, the team not only chose to pay him the remaining year's salary, but also made him an assistant coach of the team.

Not to mention anything else, the human touch of this team is very strong.

In history, whether it is Kobe Bryant or James, there is no ambiguity when it is time to give a big pension contract.

Previously, the management intended to trade O'Neal, but after consulting Sun Hao, they also chose to give up.

These things are invisibly elevating their status in the hearts of the players.

Including because of O'Neal's matter, Sun Hao's current idea is to play with the Lakers until he retires.

In addition to those who have retired, there are also those who have left the team.

Brian Cook, the man who claimed to have scored 81 points with Sun Hao, but actually didn't score a single point that night, left when his contract expired.

This guy can be regarded as being lucky because of Sun Hao.

Historically, he played with the Lakers for several years without winning a championship, and the Lakers won two consecutive championships shortly after he was traded.

But now, he was drafted by the Lakers in 2003 and was waived after the Lakers fulfilled his three-year contract.

But when he went out, he wore two championship rings on his hands, which was already plated with a layer of gold.

In addition to Cook, Damon Jones also left the team at a later stage when his contract expired.

When someone leaves, someone comes in.

Millsap is a rookie, and although Gortat was a rookie last year, he just won the Bundesliga championship, and he immediately ran to the Lakers call.

This is different from history, but it is easy to understand.

If you come, you will have a chance to compete for the NBA championship, and you will obviously have a chance to enter the rotation, so a fool will not come.

In addition to the two rookies, the Lakers also signed two instant players on the free market.

They first signed James Posey on a 1+1 full mid-range contract with a player option for the second year.

Posey played well for the Heat last season, especially with his defense and three-point impress.

With a $6.4 million player option, he opted to jump out of his contract and sign with the Lakers instead.

At this time, the middle-class exception was not as exaggerated as it was later, with an annual salary of only about 5 million.

With Posey's performance and market, he could choose to continue with his original contract or jump out and sign a bigger contract.

But in the end, he chose to take a salary cut to join the Lakers, and the purpose was also very clear: to sign a bigger contract next year.

The Lakers are a bigger stage, and there is a shortage of guards, so he has room to play.

Coupled with Hill's injury concerns, he has a chance to start.

Even Hill's big contract expires next year, as long as he plays well, he doesn't have to run out to find a new contract, and he can directly renew his contract with the Lakers.

It seems that he is losing, but in fact this wave of operation is very smart.

The other player is Kelana Azubuke, who signed a two-year, non-guaranteed base salary contract with the Lakers.

This player is not very famous, but Sun Hao is familiar with him.

Without him, because the pinnacle started with rookie Curry.

He's also a ruthless 3-and-D guy, a bit like Bale.

It's just that he wasn't as lucky as Bale, and he was directly torn in his best season, a career-destroying injury, and faded out of the league early.

Although, he is still a player who has not played in the NBA.

The reason why he is said to be an instant player is because he played well in the NBDL last season and played well in the preseason for Houston.

And if you look closely, you'll see that Posey and Azubuuk are both the same type of 3-and-D players.

This shows that Kupchak is also growing through learning.

Last season he signed a number of big-name veterans in an effort to bolster the team's playoff experience, and the results were ...... Like Kukoc, he sat directly on the bench from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.

He also realized in hindsight that the Lakers had enough playoff experience.

With this realization, he began to change his thinking.

Don't choose the famous, choose the right one.

The Lakers have Sun Hao, Payton, Hill and even Louis Williams on the outside, and they don't need to hold the ball anymore, what they need is this kind of 3D player.

As a result, the Lakers' lineup for the new season is about to come out:

Point guards: Sun Hao, Payton, Louis Williams

Shooting guards: Grant Hill, Azubuike

Small forwards: Ariza, James Posey, Zhu Fangyu

Power forwards: Antoine Walker, Anderson, Horry, Millsap

Centre-forwards: O'Neal, Mourning, Gortat

This lineup may look a little top-heavy, but inside Horry is a swing forward, Posey is a swing forward, and Louis Williams is a two-way guard.

All that is taken into account, this lineup is actually quite reasonable.

On the first day of training camp, the Lakers were fully assembled.

Among them is O'Neill, the "Big Shark".

And on day one, the guy showed a rare positive attitude towards training.

Although he was unhappy about his appearance in trade rumors this past summer, the Lakers' subsequent statements still made him really fragrant.

And the events of the summer also seemed to give him a sense of crisis.

This is unexpectedly good news for the Lakers.

Then, Sun Hao also met for the first time in the training camp...... Hill in a suit.

That looks, the word "gentleman" in the American national dictionary is vividly embodied.

Elegant manners, generous conversation, and even that kind smile.

No wonder this guy was handpicked by Stern as Jordan's successor in the first place, because he is really a gentleman!

What the hell is a little heartbeat!

But it's actually normal, because Hill is actually really different when he says it.

In the United States, whites and blacks are two opposing groups, and they are very distinctive.

Negro people love hip-hop, they always have broken thoughts, and they know each other very well, and they are brothers when they open their mouths.

White people are very independent, and they pay attention to principles in doing things, pay attention to etiquette and interests.

But on the contrary, Hill is a very white black man, that is, the "black white heart" in the mouth of black Americans.

Because of this incident, Hill was ostracized and even discriminated against by the black team when he first joined the league.

But it was in this situation that Hill used his behavior and charisma to win back the respect of black people for himself.

Especially at this age, his charm has become invisible.

You must know that this person has won 3 moral fashion awards in history, and there is no one who has been estimated to have come before.

Not to mention Sun Hao, most of the Lakers have an instinctive liking for him.

Well, Sun Hao feels that he can develop in this direction more in the future.

Then he can say directly: My damn charm with nowhere to put it......

Well, the picture is out.

Wait, as if that's not the point.

The point is, why did you start training Hill and still wear a suit!

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, but it turns out to be a bit overwhelming.

Hill's injury isn't completely healed.

According to the team doctor, Hill is the safest option to return to play when he is fully healthy in December.

Good guy, Sun Hao is a good guy directly.

This is not quite the same history as he knows!

I don't know if Kupchak is cursing him in circles in his heart now.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Sun Hao didn't think much about it.

In fact, when he saw Kupchak unexpectedly sign Posey, he knew that the Lakers' forward strength was guaranteed.

Percy isn't Hill's gifted type, but he's more practical.

In history, he was a starter for the Heat in the 05~06 season and a sixth man in the Celtics in the 07~08 season, all of which helped both teams win championships.

And Sun Hao now has a "ten-cent" badge, a Posey and an Ariza two top 3Ds.

Hill's ability to play is the icing on the cake, and not being able to play won't be a big problem.

And not long after the training camp started, Phil Jackson fell into a kind of happy trouble.

These players on the Lakers are all in surprisingly good shape, especially the outside players.

Not to mention Sun Hao and Zhu Fangyu, who played in the World Series this summer, Posey, who just joined, Williams, who is a sophomore, and even Azubuuk, who came from the Development League, are more courageous than the other.

How to rotate in the regular season is really enough for him to have a headache.

After training, Sun Hao and O'Neill sat on the sidelines and chatted again.

There was a long grass gap between them, and there was so much to talk about.

Sun Hao talked about the World Championships, and O'Neill talked about his busy life this past summer.

As a prolific "actor", he completed a very important film in his acting career this summer: "Screaming 4".

Screaming is the only series he cares more about than Saw and can be a milestone for his acting career.

In addition to this, he also recorded a new rap song, which was not as good as the platinum album he had when he first debuted, but it also sold well.

And that's not all, he finally realized his dream this summer, working as a police officer on the streets of Los Angeles, directing traffic once......

"That's very important to me, and while I find directing traffic to be a terrible thing, it makes a lot of sense."

O'Neill's eyebrows fluttered when he said this, and he was indescribably happy.

Sun Hao also smiled and nodded.

O'Neill has been much busier than he has been this summer.

It's just that I didn't find the right place to be busy.

If he continues to be so busy, O'Neal may be able to consider retirement before his contract is completed.

If that's the case, it's not a good thing for him to stay with the Lakers and not meet Riley.

"Shaq."

Sun Hao looked at O'Neill seriously.

Although he felt that it was still unlikely to succeed, Sun Hao decided to give it a try.

When O'Neill saw Sun Hao's expression, he also put away his smile and looked back at him seriously.

"Lose weight, it's for your own good."

Sun Hao originally wanted to say some reasons, but he thought that he had tried so many times in the past without success.

How could saying something at this time make O'Neill suddenly change his mind?

"Okay."

O'Neill nodded earnestly.

？？
