Chapter 473: The Undercurrent of the Draft
The first thing Sun Hao did when he woke up the next day was to read the newspaper.
People's happiness should not only be when they achieve success, but also after they achieve success.
Just like painting a painting, you are happy when you finish it, but the real joy comes when the painting is appreciated.
Sun Hao is now enjoying the latter process.
Not 1, not 2, but 3, 4, 5, and more! 》
Well, this report from TNT is very spiritual, and it is the same as the name of the argumentative essay for high school essays, to the point.
Laker Dynasty, why not? 》
When he saw the ESPN title, Sun Hao couldn't help but smile.
The title was straightforward enough to suit his appetite.
"Shaq locks up the second person in Lakers history!" 》
When he saw the news headline of FOX Sports, Sun Hao couldn't help but take a closer look at the content.
Don't say it, this kind of sword goes off the rails, and the news headlines with a very UC portal flavor are indeed more attractive.
And after reading it, Sun Hao also felt that this was not exactly the title party.
The Lakers have a brilliant team, and before that, the first person recognized as "Magic" Johnson was the first person to be recognized.
Johnson has nine Finals appearances with the Lakers, five championships, three MVPs and three FMVPs, and more All-Star and a burst of honors.
But what many people may not have noticed is that because of Sun Hao's joining, O'Neill's honor is also accumulating rapidly.
Up to now, O'Neal has entered the Finals 6 times with the Lakers, and he is also a 5-time champion! 3 FMVPs!
And what's even better than Magic is that he's the only player other than Jordan to have three consecutive FMVPs so far!
In terms of MVP, he is slightly inferior to only one, but that has something to do with Kobe.
The OK combinations split each other, and the result was that O'Neal only had one, and Kobe Bryant didn't have one.
In addition to this, there is also a very crucial point that O'Neill is still at the peak tail, and he still has the opportunity to accumulate more accolades.
Therefore, the second person of FOX refers to O'Neal as the second person under "Magic" Johnson now, or the second person under Sun Hao in the future.
After all, Sun Hao's accumulation speed of two championships in the two years since he came to the Lakers, as well as the card of his active first person, it is a high probability event to become the first person in the history of the Lakers.
After reading the newspaper, Sun Hao immediately looked at the news on the Internet.
Although social media at this time is far from being as developed as in the future, for Sun Hao, it is still more familiar to see these.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, his expression is a little crying and laughing after reading it.
In addition to discussing the Lakers championship, O'Neal dunking the basket, he got the FMVP, and comparing him to ridicule Kobe Bryant every day, there is another topic he never expected: his shoulder pads!
No one may believe it, but the topic is even hotter than O'Neal smashing the basket.
And the very thing is that some netizens took screenshots that Adi's shoulder pads of the same style have been out of stock.
Sun Hao suddenly remembered the live broadcast he had experienced in his previous life? Those influencers are scheming and salivaing? And then rely on a bunch of fake traffic to deceive people.
It seems that he might as well wear a shoulder pad casually?
It doesn't seem to be so comparable? There is still a gap between Internet celebrities and top celebrities.
However, this also shows that Sun Hao's current appeal has reached a new height that no one can reach.
Sun Hao finished reading the newspaper, and then lay down to rest? Then I went into the system.
After the Lakers successfully defended their title? He also completed the hidden quest "The Lord of the Rings' Expectations" and received the "Ten Cents" badge, the reward he had always dreamed of!
And it's directly a silver-level badge!
Ten Cents (Silver): Increases the likelihood of perfect passes and increases teammates' shooting percentage!
This badge of the same classic level as the "Aggressive", he was in the same mood after receiving it as he was on the night of the championship.
You know, this badge will make a real difference to his playstyle.
Although because of personal strength? He was the initiator of the team's attack a lot of the time in the game.
However, it can be seen from last season that he is relatively weak because of his passing ability? Phil Jackson still has him partnered with Payton more as a shooting guard.
But now with this "ten cents", then his style of play next season will change very much.
He will move from a scorer to a "ball master" transformation.
"Ball tyrant" here is a compliment, because whether it's scoring or passing? He's the best one.
Sun Hao is experiencing the changes brought about by the "ten cents" in the system, while the Lakers are planning their championship parade this year.
Last year, the Lakers won the championship parade, and the girl invited by O'Neal became the highlight.
At this year's parade, Kupchak, who wanted to come up with something new, turned to O'Neill again.
O'Neal's big head was whimsical, and he really came up with an interesting idea for the Lakers.
But because of this idea, Nike and Adi almost broke their scalps.
still hugged the pipa and half-covered his face, and when the championship parade began the next day, the fans saw the true face of Lushan.
In fact, when Sun Hao went to the locker room and saw what O'Neill took out, his mood was quite complicated.
Because O'Neill took out 14 pairs of shoulder pads!
So it's no wonder why Nike and Adi broke their scalps, because this kind of occasion is the best time to advertise.
So there will definitely be people who wonder which brand of this shoulder brace is in the end?
Neither, and in the end it was O'Neill's own "Duckman" that was improvised processing.
Don't ask why it can be made in such a short time, just take something that is not trademarked and mark it.
This thing is not used anyway, it is just a symbol.
Some people will ask why there are only 14 pairs?
Because Sun Hao's hasn't picked it yet!
Originally, Sun Hao's extreme injury recovery time was in the seventh tiebreaker, that is, today.
Now that the Lakers have won the championship in G6, Sun Hao is of course still wearing it.
When Sun Hao saw the players wearing it, he was moved in his heart.
Originally, if he wore it alone, it looked a little unusual.
But if everyone wears it now, it is not only not unusual, but it looks very individual, and even a bit of Lakers characteristics.
O'Neill's emotional intelligence is really not ordinarily high.
It's time, and the Lakers' parade sets off from the arena.
Somewhat different from last year, this time Sun Hao and O'Neill were directly on the first car.
So when the convoy appeared, the crowd was in a boiling at the first time.
Especially when they saw that the Lakers players were all wearing shoulder pads, they all took out their phones or cameras to take pictures like crazy.
Even many fans raised their hands and waved their shoulders, revealing their shoulder pads.
This is not an official arrangement.
Just like Sun Hao saw on the Internet before, his shoulder pads are out of stock, and the object of "sales" is not these fans!
This scene is destined to be the highlight of this year's championship parade.
And like Iverson's ditch at the beginning, the NBA may also set off a shoulder guard fever next season.
After the championship parade, Buss Jr. gave a speech as a representative of the Lakers.
He has just gained real power and is also in high spirits.
"The dynasty is just around the corner, why should we stop?"
This rhetorical question, with an emphatic tone, fully exposes his ambitions.
And the ambition is ambitious enough.
Putting aside Russell's 8 consecutive championships in ancient times, the most well-known and shocking thing for fans is Jordan's 2 consecutive championships completed 2 years apart.
That is also the main reason why he is known as the "God of Basketball" by the world.
Now the Lakers have a chance to match that accolade.
Because they have already completed a triple championship around the turn of the century, if they win the championship again next season, it will be the same as the original Bulls, two consecutive championships two years apart!
And another important thing is that if one more championship is won, the Lakers' total championship count will reach 17!
They will surpass the Celtics' 16 championships to become the team with the most championships in the league!
This is very important!
And compared to this ambition itself, what Bass Jr. said later won the affirmation of a large number of fans for himself.
Because Buss Jr. spoke bluntly about the aging problems that the Lakers will face in his speech, and also promised to make trades and reinforcements in the summer.
This way of facing difficulties and not escaping, even Sun Hao changed his opinion of Little Bass.
Little Bass, who has been carefully cultivated by the old Bass since he was a child, may have been played by family infighting in history.
Really let him stand where he should be standing early, he is fully capable of doing a good job.
The end of the Lakers' championship parade also means the official end of the 2005~2006 season.
Fans are still talking about Sun Hao's shoulder pads and Bass Jr.'s rhetoric, but the pace of the new season has actually come.
More precisely, it should have been before the end of the season, and it was already there.
Most of them are naturally about the upcoming draft convention.
Just like the rumors that broke out before that the Raptors were interested in Italian interior Andrea Bagnani.
By this time, the rumors were even worse.
One of the pieces of news quickly fermented and became the focus of heated discussions among fans.
The Warriors are also interested in Bagnani!
This sounds a little reasonable, but also a little mysterious!
The Warriors finished Black Eight last season, and Nelson Sr. and his team amazed the world.
But meeting the Lakers also exposed their weak interior problems.
When they couldn't get up to the tempo, they didn't even have a chance to wrestle their wrists with the Lakers.
So it's only natural to strengthen the inside line.
Bagnani is favored by all parties and is hailed as the next Nowitzki.
And he can play center, even if he still can't defend O'Neal at that time, it will be perfect to pull O'Neill out of the line.
Historically, Oku has given Yao Ming a headache, and the Warriors, or Nelson Sr., are as advanced as ever.
The mystery is that the Warriors theoretically have a chance to select Bagnani!
Their pick this year is in their own hands, but they are the 17th pick!
Bagnani is the top pick, and it is impossible to fall into this position no matter what.
Unless trading.
But the Raptors have already revealed their interest in Bagnani before, so no matter how you look at it, the Warriors can't be selected.
Of course, Sun Hao, who is still recuperating from his injuries, has a different focus than others.
He's always wanted to see some Durant-related news.
Surprisingly, though, there aren't many rumors about Durant.
Among the predictions on the major lists, Durant also climbed to the top of the list, and the prediction will be selected by Cleveland.
Oh yes, while the Finals were in progress, Cavaliers owner Gilbert made more than one disclosure of his love for Durant.
This may also be the reason why there are so few rumors about Durant at this stage, after all, the Cavaliers are holding the pick.
The top pick Bagnani, the list eye Durant, and a relatively less popular LaMarcus Aldridge are basically the top three drafts predicted by most websites.
Sun Hao was also a little emotional after reading it.
Durant can't escape the fate of being a leader!
But I have to say that this result is actually quite good for Durant.
Now the Cavaliers have an interior core, the one who has become a parallel commodity in history, but now has been selected as an All-Star.
The twin stars formed by the two have a lot to offer in the east.
Durant has a good chance to replace James in history and compete with Yao Ming for the crown of six Asian kings.
Of course, before Sun Hao returned to China to participate in the World Championships, Kupchak had already decided to drag him to the draft.
Louis Williams had a good regular season last season, which also gave Kupchak a lot of trust in Sun Hao.
Sun Hao also gladly accepted.
Not only because Durant will participate in this draft, but also because there is a second-round pick in this draft that cannot be missed.
Speaking of this second-round show, almost all of the basketballs he watched in his last life must be picked up.
Especially the one called "The Godfather of Basketball in Sports" made him even more impressed.
So even if it's just for this rookie, he has to go.
Time flies, and the draft is just around the corner.
Rumors about draft trade are growing.
Just before the draft officially began, a bomb trade stunned everyone.
The Warriors, and the Raptors made a deal!
The Warriors sent Byron Davis and their No. 17 pick, and got the Raptors' No. 1 pick and Jose Calderon!
This deal is shocking!
If I know that you must choose Bagnani, then I will trade your champion sign, so that Bagnani must be mine!
In domestic terms, this is a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and it is flawless!
It's just that the price paid by the Warriors is what makes it even more shocking.
They gave away the core of the team!
The biggest contributor to the Warriors' completion of the Black Eight last season was Byron Davis!
In the end, he became a bargaining chip!
This gave all the fans a real experience of "business is business" and "players are just commodities".
So in addition to being shocked, most people still said that they couldn't understand it.
Including Sun Hao, he also felt a little sorry for old Nelson.
If Bagnani and the one in history end up becoming a role that is not high or low, I don't know if his mentor will regret it.
Of course, he's not a Warriors player right now, and it's unlikely that he's going to influence Nelson Sr.'s decision-making.
Everything, we can only wait for the draft conference.
