Chapter 338: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings

Jordan called over this time to ask Sun Hao's opinion on the draft.

Sun Hao is not surprised at all.

Counting the last time he signed Arenas, this is the third time Jordan has found himself.

With a succession of previous successes, the god of basketball has become convinced of his eye for people.

Sun Hao feels that it is not bad for him to retire directly now to become the general manager of the Wizards.

Just kidding, of course.

The general manager only made a lot of money, and he wasn't interested in that right now.

However, to Sun Hao's slight surprise, Jordan designated a point guard this time.

It stands to reason that the Wizards now have Arenas in the start, Mobley off the bench, and there is no shortage of point guards.

However, it can also be understood that Jordan wants Mobley to return to play point guard and select a qualified backup for Arenas.

Sun Hao was not stingy and recommended several candidates.

Jamal Nelson, who is Howard's golden partner guard in history, although he is only 1.83 meters, he has a tough style of play and has the strength to play as a starter.

However, the Wizards now have the No. 23 pick in their hands, and they may not be able to pick it.

In addition to Nelson, there is also Delonte West, a two-way guard and one of the all-time James Cavaliers teammates.

And Benno Udri, if Jordan really wants to be a backup point guard, then he must be the most suitable choice.

"Are you going to leave Dallas?"

After chatting about the draft, Jordan asked Sun Hao such a question.

This year is a rare free agent year at the beginning of the century, and Rashid Wallace, Kobe, Nash, and Camby are all completely free agents.

Sun Hao is also a free agent, but because he has just fulfilled his rookie contract, he is a restricted free agent.

Restricted free agents, as the name suggests, are restricted free agents, and the parent team has the right to match all contracts.

Jordan asked, obviously because he still had "ideas" about Sun Hao after being rejected before.

"No, it won't."

Sun Hao's answer was more direct.

He's built a deep enough fan base in Dallas, and Chinatown is getting bigger and bigger.

Plus an owner like Cuban, a gold medal partner like Nowitzki, and a returning old Nelson.

If he took the initiative to leave, it would really be bubbling in the brain.

"I'll try."

Although he heard Sun Hao's answer, Jordan still said that he would try it.

After all, Sun Hao is a restricted free agent, and if the Mavericks take the initiative to trade Sun Hao, it will be another matter.

Well, it's the same as obeying the adjustment after filling in the college entrance examination.

Not long after the two finished chatting, Sun Hao quickly saw the choice of the Wizards.

They ended up with the 22nd pick to pick Jamal Nelson.

Historically, Nelson should have gone to the Magic, but now that history has changed, this wave is kind of a win for the Wizards.

Soon, the draft went to the end of the first round.

"In 2004, with the 27th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Trevor Ariza, a 2.03-meter small forward from UCLA."

At this time, the Lakers gave Sun Hao a big "surprise".

The most direct feeling of this surprise to Sun Hao is: There is a traitor among us!

Otherwise, Ariza was selected in the middle of the second round in history, and the probability of running to the end of the first round is very low!

You must know that Ariza has only been in college for a year, averaging 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, which is a typical offensive rough guy.

And this possibility is not small, and it is not uncommon for the NBA to sell news to each other.

After the Lakers, there are the Mavericks.

"In 2004, with the 28th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks selected Anderson Vallejo, a 2.11-meter center from Brazil."

After hearing the Mavericks' choice, Sun Hao took a long breath.

Although Ariza was cut off, the Brazilian actor arrived, and this wave of blood did not lose.

And another signal sent by this is that although the old Nelson has been away from the team for a year, he still has a lot of say in the team.

It also means that Nelson Sr. is likely to return to the team next season.

That way, the Mavericks have a much better chance of getting back to the top next season.

The Pacers selected David Harrison with the 30th pick, and the first-round draft ended.

Ariza and Vallejo were both drafted, and there were basically no players left who could be found in the second round.

Sun Hao didn't continue to pay attention to the draft, and then went to the Evolution House to train.

The national team has a very important task this summer, the Athens Olympics.

Harris had been embracing the national team before the end of the season.

When the free market is over, he'll have to report to the national team.

Unlike the World Championships, the Olympics are the biggest event in the world for athletes.

In terms of gold content, the Olympic champion is also far better than the world champion.

They had not been able to reach the final in Shanghai before, but this time they went to Athens and their goal was to reach the final, or even ...... Champion!

And it's not blind confidence, two years have passed, and a lot of things have changed.

He has gone from being a sophomore to becoming the second-ranked player in FMVP and MVP!

Yao Ming has also changed from a first-year student who has just entered the league to the star of the Wizards, the league's second center.

Oh yes, Yao Ming also got 3% of the vote in last season's MVP selection.

Although it is few, it can also show that his strength is already at the top of the league.

In addition, Yi Jianlian has finished his rookie season in the NBA and has performed well.

Wang Zhizhi is now a core rotation player for the Warriors.

Such a Chinese team is completely a championship-level team!

Therefore, ambition is ambition, strength is strength, and he and the Chinese team will definitely make trouble in Athens this time.

The door to the free market is about to open, and all kinds of rumors are emerging.

Sun Hao doesn't need to inquire, there is Fu Paul here, and he has the news faster than the media.

But don't underestimate brokers, they have a lot more access to information than most people think.

For example, in the matter of Maddie, Fu Paul has first-hand information.

The Magic team is not ready to form any new OK combinations, they are ready to send Maddie away.

The main reason is that Maddie has a lot of injury concerns.

It may sound a little incredible, after all, Maddie is also a top-10 superstar in the league right now.

But there is a saying that once you are snakeed, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years.

With Penny Hardaway in front and Hill in the back, the Magic team has suffered a big loss more than once.

When it comes to dealing with Maddie, they are naturally cautious.

In the eyes of Magic management, rather than waiting for Maddie to potentially break out with injuries like Hardaway and Hill, it would be better to trade in as much as possible while he has trade value.

You must know that although the Magic team had a poor record last season, Maddy completed the feat of two consecutive scoring titles.

The value of his trade at this time was still very high.

Sun Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion after listening to the capitalist.

O'Neal left, Hill was seriously injured, and the Magic team relied on Maddie to sell tickets in recent years.

Besides, the Magic team has a sparse lineup in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Maddie has supported it on his own.

In the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being sold.

And from Fu Paul's mouth, Sun Hao also knows that the current management of the Magic team has begun to smear Maddie in order to give fans an explanation.

The Orlando Sentinel said Maddie was not a good leader, and brought back last season's frustration that Maddie was on a losing streak.

Well, it's like the "Is Shaquille O'Neal worth $115 million" survey that they sent out back then.

What's even more intriguing is that Wes Broad, the general manager of the Magic team, said in an interview that the trade request was made by Maddie himself, and also said that the Magic team will try to meet Maddy's request as much as possible and will make a trade according to the latter's wish list.

Maddie didn't come out to argue.

At this time, you can see his character, if it were Kobe, he would definitely say loudly that it was not like this!

And if it was Jordan, it was estimated that he would have to hold a press conference and spew the general manager angrily by the way.

But Maddie is Maddy, and he really gave the Magic a wishlist.

But when Sun Hao asked which teams, Fu Paul shook his head.

He doesn't have much news yet.

However, in terms of interests, it is more likely that Maddie will be traded to the West.

After all, now that Maddie has a large transaction value, the strength of the stars that can be exchanged for it is definitely not weak.

If it is traded to the east, it is equivalent to creating a competitor for itself.

This made Sun Hao even more curious, in history, Maddie went to Houston because there was Yao Ming there.

But now Yao Ming is not in Houston.

Count the teams, most likely...... Suns?

Marbury could be a core bargaining chip, and the Suns have a bunch of young talent in contention.

Well, the analysis is theoretical, but anything is possible until the transaction actually happens.

Sun Hao and Fu Paul were chatting when an uninvited guest came to the House of Evolution, Nash.

And as soon as Nash came, he brought Sun Hao a very exciting news.

"I'm probably leaving Auckland."

Sun Hao was a little confused, didn't this Nash play well in the Warriors?

Last season, Nash set a career-high statistic and led the team to 50 wins.

You can't just change teams just because you've been out in the first round for two years in a row, right?

If that's the case, then he's the culprit.

But fortunately, judging from the communication with Nash, that is not the main reason.

The main reason is still the Auckland fans.

Just like Sun Hao lamented last season, those fans have forgotten what kind of team Nash was before he went to the Warriors.

All those fans remember is Nash's spicy-eyed defense.

"If they all don't like me so much, why should I stay in Auckland?"

Nash's words were tinged with bleakness.

But this is also his character, Steve is so jealous, he must not be able to stand the attitude of the fans.

"And where are you going?"

Sun Hao asked.

"I don't know, after discussing with my broker, I'm going to test the free market first, if ......"

Nash stopped talking.

Sun Hao looked at him.

"If possible, we might be able to play together again."

Nash continued.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

Well, he suddenly had the same feeling that he had as a Nash fan and Nash.

Although Steve is jealous, he has done this for two years in a row, and said that he wants to play with him, and there is no doubt about true love.

And don't say it, as both of them enter the peak, playing together is definitely not the same as it was at the beginning.

It's just that there are too many things to consider if you want to publish a book.

First of all, where they play together.

Nash back in Dallas?

That looks like the most appropriate option, with the Mavericks trading Finley away and Bale playing small forward.

In Nelson Sr.'s system, the three brothers must be explosive on the offensive end now.

However, it is estimated that the Kuban was the first to disagree.

A good horse doesn't eat back grass, not to mention that he was slapped in the face because of this grass.

But elsewhere, it means that he has to be separated from Nowitzki.

Secondly, and more crucially, he is a restricted free agent, not where he can go wherever he wants, which is the most important thing.

However, Nash's proposal can be regarded as a possibility.

And Sun Hao thought of another possibility at this time.

If Maddie was really traded to the Suns as he expected, then Marbury wouldn't be with the Suns!

In other words, the Suns will definitely need a starting point guard.

If Nash goes again, Nash + Maddie + Marion + Stoudemire, this is the lineup that will go to heaven!

"Steve, I think you can look at the free market first, without rushing to find a home."

Sun Hao gave his own advice.

Nash nodded earnestly as well.

His current coffee position can't reach the point where Kobe Bryant and Maddie entered the free market and stirred up the league.

It's a sensible choice.

And he's 30 years old, and it's time for him to get results.

If he continues to play in the first round like this, his career may be like this.

……

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it has reached the 30th.

The entanglement between Maddie and Magic is rumored.

But on this day, the most eye-catching thing was not Maddie, but ...... Bryant.

In the Western Conference semifinals with the Mavericks last season, O'Neal said this when he was down 2-0.

"Some people need to know that the Lakers can't win without me."

This sentence caused a lot of controversy at the beginning, and when the reporter threw this sentence to Kobe, Kobe Bryant chose to remain silent.

But when it came to this day, Kobe Bryant spoke up in front of the media.

"After that, I decided not to be teammates with Shaq, and he said all those things, all the criticism from the media, that I couldn't win without him, so I'm going to show you bad guys what I'm capable of, and I'm going to take the challenge, whether it's in Los Angeles or whatever. I'm up for the challenge. ”

After this passage was reported by the media, it directly made the fans in Los Angeles fry the pot.

The translation of this passage is more straightforward: I or O'Neill, you can only keep one, if you choose O'Neill, then I will leave!

Kobe, this is thinking that the Lakers management is forcing the palace!

O'Neill, really angry.

If it weren't for him, the Lakers would have been eliminated by the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals last season.

The result is good now, Kobe Bryant is the first to attack!

Maddie, Orlando; Nash, Oakland; OK Combo, Los Angeles!

This year's free market has not officially opened, but it is already completely full of rain!
