Chapter 479: Number One Seed!

No, to be precise, it should be next season that should be expected.

One big difference from history is that the East, which is supposed to be weak, will become "hell" next season.

The original "Eastern F4" Wizards, Pistons, Nets, and Magic are still strong, and the Bulls have been greatly strengthened.

These five teams will kill the East in the dark.

And the team that can't be ignored is the Raptors.

A trade in the draft, the Raptors got Byron Davis back.

Bosh, like several other 03 generations, has been "fat" after a few years of development.

The Raptors also traded TJ Ford from Houston, and signed Sun Hao's former teammate Gabajosa from La Liga, one of the former tridents of Real Madrid, and Anthony Parker, a former NBA player who played in Europe and was very awesome when he heard his name.

These actions of the Raptors management are obviously ready to rush to the playoffs.

In fact, this year in history, the Raptors without Byron Davis ended up in third place in the East.

Although the strength of the East is now much stronger than in history, the Raptors also have Davis.

Of course, there is another team that has a lot of uncertainties, but it is still impossible to ignore.

Celtics!

Pierce Garay Allen, the pair of twin stars guaranteed the team's floor.

Ray Allen, who averaged 25.1 points per game last season and remains the league's hottest shooting guard.

In other words, he's still at the top.

This is different from history.

Then, it's Garnett.

The trend in the league right now is to have an inside and outside duo, and if the Celtics can trade Garnett for the rest of the offseason, or even in the middle of the season.

Then they will form an unprecedented, unique triumvirate that only Sun Hao knows!

Even if they don't trade, after Gasol is gone, Al Jefferson on the team will play like in history.

With such a lineup, he can still earn himself a place in the playoffs in the East.

Counting the Heat team with a stable lineup and good strength.

Yes, the top eight in the East for next season are all booked directly.

The remaining seven teams in the East will have hell to make it to the playoffs.

This is true in the east, and it is not far behind in the west.

The "Big Four" Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs can't move.

If it weren't for the format, these four teams would basically lock in the top half.

Then there's the Nuggets who traded for Iverson, and the Clippers, who are still on the verge of trading Gasol.

These six teams are also properly securing playoff spots.

Of course, there is also a team to be reckoned with in the West: the Hornets.

Although Paul did not go to be the "queen bee" again, Delong's strength as the "queen bee" is also not bad.

The east is hell, the west is the abyss, and if you want to fight your way out of it, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

Next season, it's worth looking forward to!

On this day, after Sun Hao finished training, he habitually took out his mobile phone to watch the news.

was brushing, and he suddenly saw a very "tasteful" video.

Brother-Eating has appeared!

He posted a video of eating upside down on Facebook.avi!

Not made from eating chocolate? It's real!

Handstand? One-handed? Spoon, picture sense ......

Sun Hao's feeling after reading it is that this guy is really a ruthless person!

I just don't know why? After reading it, Sun Hao always felt that there was a smell of all around.

Fortunately? This feeling was quickly interrupted by a caller ID.

The call came from Kupchak.

The Lakers, on their part, are already negotiating a trade with the Magic.

The main body of the transaction is Sun Hao's Finley for Hill mentioned earlier.

And, the interest over there with magic? Very big!

From the point of view of magic, this 10,000-year-old injury is finally taken over? How can you not be happy!

And they have long been ready to change the air, and now they are changing to a player who is rubbish in the contract, but still has immediate combat power? It's too late for them to rejoice!

As for Finley's big contract, the Magic are more than capable of digesting it.

This has to do with the Magic's salary structure.

Except for Hill, the only player with an annual salary of more than 10 million is Arenas.

And Arenas was dug up by the poison contract at the beginning, and his salary this season and next season is about 11 million!

Of course, the most important thing is that Howard is still on a rookie contract, and he will start a big contract until the 08~09 season, when Finley's contract has already ended.

So if this deal is done, not only will there be no loss for the Magic, but it will also greatly increase their stability in the championship next season.

Why not?

Some people may say that the Magic team will just wait for Hill's contract to expire?

Just like don't say 16 million like 1,600 yuan, don't say a year like a day.

The Magic had a great record last season, but they have already experienced the pain of being reimbursed for the Hill season.

After a year of hard work, they were swept away, and they wouldn't want to experience this pain a second time.

So when the Lakers asked for an add-on, they readily agreed.

Kupchak called at this time and asked Sun Hao who he wanted.

The corners of Sun Hao's mouth showed a happy smile.

It's finally here!

He quickly said the name he wanted.

Excellent rebounding and defense, good blocking and moving speed, and one-handed distance shooting ability, 2.11 meters center, nicknamed "Polish Hammer", Marcin Gortat is also!

Gortat was a second-round pick in '05, but has been stocked by the Magic in Europe.

He really didn't meet the requirements of the NBA at the time, and it didn't make sense for the Lakers to pick him.

But this time is not the other time, and now that Gortat is playing in Europe, the Lakers can get him to make a steady profit.

Historically, Gortat's label in the early stage of his career was Howard's best bench, and then he went to the Wizards as a starting center, that is, he had both power and potential.

And Mourning will always be old, even if Gortat can't come this season, it's perfectly okay to take Mourning's class next season.

At least for a long time to come, O'Neal's substitution problem will be solved.

The Lakers also moved fast enough, and not long after Sun Hao hung up the phone, they announced the deal on their official website.

The Lakers sent Finley to Grant Hill and Marcin Gortat in a trade from the Magic.

After the deal was reached, it sparked a lot of heated discussions among fans in the forum.

"If you don't get hurt, you can be the next Jordan, and now you're just playing to try to catch up with who you used to be! Grant Oyama Hill! ”

"That's Grant Hill! Overwhelm Jordan's existence! ”

"Only by seeing Hill play during the Pistons can you know how awesome he is! It was he who got the conversation started about Jordan's successor! ”

"The point is that not only did I get Hill, but I also got Finley's garbage contract by the way! I can only shout: Kupchak is awesome! ”

"Hill's form picked up last season, averaging 15+5 per game! 51.8% shooting! The Magic team can have last season's record, and he played a big role! ”

"Hill has always been strong, okay! As long as he doesn't get hurt, he's an All-Star! ”

"The question is, will it be healthy? If he was healthy, the Magic wouldn't trade him like this! ”

"It's a ticking time bomb! Hill played really well last season, but he couldn't make the playoffs! ”

"It's a gamble!"

"All we're giving away is Finley! I'm not targeting Finley, he's done a lot for the team in the past, but his contract is rubbish! ”

"Los Angeles is one of the best cities in the country for medical care! And the Lakers are an old team, and the management and team doctors are very professional! ”

"Looking forward to it! The first Jordan successor, and Jordan's first successor, the picture is too beautiful to watch! ”

"If Hill doesn't get injured, the Lakers will make a lot of money, and they have been missing a second ball-handling point!"

"That's right, and Hill shoots accurately, so that the opponent won't dare to go crazy and trap Sun! This is definitely an underrated deal! ”

"Who is Gortat, by the way?"

"Who knows, this kind of addition is useless, and it is estimated that it will be laid off when it arrives."

"It seems to be a European player too? Could it have something to do with Sun? ”

"Sun, Ariza, Hill, Walker, O'Neill, go! go! Lakers Dynasty! ”

……

The deal itself is not big, but the repercussions are far greater than intended.

It's also easy to understand that Hill is also a player who has been brilliant in the past.

Some people may not know how popular Hill was when he entered the league.

At the time of Jordan's retirement, Hill played a dazzling season when he entered the league in his rookie season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.77 steals per game!

That was in 1994, and this kind of data close to 20+5+5 was very high.

And his style of play itself is also gorgeous, which made him beat O'Neal to become the All-Star ticket king in his rookie season!

Many people may have no idea about this ticket king.

It is the only one of the four major sports leagues in North American history to be an All-Star vote for rookies!

And the next year, after Jordan's return, he beat Jordan to win the All-Star vote king!

Just by looking at these, you can see how popular Hill was in the first place.

Just like Maddie and Iverson now, and Rose in the future, when they are no longer supergiants, their every move will still attract attention.

After the Lakers and Magic trade was completed, the free market, which had been buzzing for nearly a month, finally began to calm down.

Of course, the NBA has a long offseason, and there may be some big deal one day before the season starts.

And this year's basketball fans won't be bored, because the World Championships are just around the corner!

The last World Championships, including the last Olympic Games, FIBA used a scoring method to achieve praise, and this time before the start of the World Championships, they also concocted the same method.

Here are some things you need to know about this World Championships.

The U.S. team claimed to have fielded their strongest squad, but many of the players declined the request.

For example, Kobe, Kobe advertised that he wanted to recuperate from his injuries, but Sun Hao knew that with Kobe's character, he would definitely torture himself madly this summer after being blackened.

Another example is Iverson and Duncan, who were sprayed by fans when they came back after losing the 04 Olympics, and naturally they were not happy to play for their country.

However, Rao is like this, this year's Dream Seven team, which has a low sense of historical existence, is still very strong on paper.

James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, the four strongest kings of the 03 generation are all impressively listed.

In addition, they also have "Warcraft" Howard, one of the hottest protagonists of this summer, Brand, the new generation of "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, and "Little Brother" Paul.

Even for the previous inaccurate outside shooting points of the U.S. team, they also brought pitchers Battier and Hinrich, and even Brad Miller, who can shoot three-pointers on the inside.

In terms of squad alone, this team is very strong.

It is against this backdrop that FIBA has given their ratings for each team in this World Championship.

At the top of the list and identified as a "seeded player" are...... China!

That's right, even though the U.S. team sent what they thought was the strongest lineup, the Chinese team was still the first in the rating given by FIBA this time.

Seeded players!

The Qing Dynasty has become history, and a new era has come!

First, the Chinese team (91 points!) )

12-man squad for the Chinese team (with ratings, scoring FIBA matches):

Defenders: Sun Hao (96), Liu Wei (72), Sun Yue (69), Zhang Qingpeng (66)

Forward: Zhu Fangyu (78), Li Nan (74), Wang Shipeng (73), Du Feng (72)

Inside: Yao Ming (93), Yi Jianlian (85), Wang Zhizhi (79), Battle (74)

FIBA comments: Sun Hao, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are all already All-Star level players, plus they have an excellent group of outside shooters led by Zhu Fangyu, the runner-up of the last World Championships, and the champion of the last Olympic Games, all of which are enough to show the strength of this team, and it is unwise to underestimate them as before.

Second, the United States team (90 points)

Team USA 12-man squad:

Defenders: Wade (88), Joe Johnson (81), Hinrich (81), Paul (78)

Forwards: Anthony (91), James (90), Antoine Jamison (84), Battier (81)

Inside: Brand (91), Howard (89), Bosh (86), Brad Miller (80)

FIBA Comments: The U.S. team is still the strongest team in the tournament overall, but the lack of good enough shooters is still their biggest problem, and the U.S. team has another big problem: game experience, which may put them at a disadvantage against old opponents like China and Argentina.

Third, Argentina (88 points)

The Argentine team, the highest rated team is still Ginobili, with a score of 89.

Fourth, Spain (86 points)

This is the first time that the Spanish team has come to such a high position.

Pau Gasol, Calderon and others will play in the NBA, Gabajosa will also land on the Raptors next season, plus Navarro and others who have performed brightly on the European home field.

Just like Sun Hao has experienced, the youth training of Spanish basketball has begun to explode after so many years of precipitation.

And it is worth mentioning that little Gasol, whom Sun Hao has not seen for a long time, was also selected for the Spanish national team squad this time!

Meaty big boy, after so many years, has finally grown up to be a meaty boy!

……

The Chinese team set off for Japan, the host of the World Championships.

Before leaving, Li Yuanwei, as the team leader, was also full of pride, and said a self-confident word to the team members:

"This time, treat the World Championships as the Asian Championships!"
