The day after the transaction, the headlines of major media outlets were released.

Hoop Sports wrote: "Sharks go north, Lakers are younger, and the West is rocked! ”

One sentence sums up the big deal.

Shaquille O'Neal joined the Grizzlies and swam into Vancouver Bay, and Jerry West traded Chauncey Billups for McMiller, Tyronn Lue and a first-round pick from the Magic Future.

This deal is also another attempt by the Magic after trading Shaquille O'Neal, through this deal, the Magic finally got a star player, plus Dwight Howard and Juwan Howard, and the Magic looks like there is a little hope for next season.

For the Grizzlies, after this trade, their main roster has begun to take shape.

Point guard Tyronn Lue, scoring guard Maddy, small forward McMiller, power forward Wang Zhizhi, center Shaquille O'Neal.

In terms of the bench sixth man, the Grizzlies are still peddling Lorencent Wright, hoping to get a quality bench scorer by trading Lorenzen Wright.

Perhaps the only problem is that the bench depth that Qiao Hai left for the Grizzlies is completely gone.

……

Through this transaction, the Lakers also formed a new core lineup.

Point guard Derrick Fisher, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Sean Marion, and power forward Pau Gasol are currently the only ones who are missing.

But there is not much to be done about the lack of Michkupchak in the center position, because the whole league is now short of centers.

Hoop Sports commented on Shaquille O'Neal's big deal: "From now on, this deal could be a win-win deal. ”

"The Vancouver Grizzlies got Shaquille O'Neal, and now, it's the Grizzlies' turn to have a king-bomb combination, and after this deal, the Grizzlies have completely solved their team configuration problem, and the salary problem has also been alleviated."

"Shaquille O'Neal plus Tracy McGrady's combination, plus a Wang Zhizhi, if all the players are healthy, this Grizzlies team is no worse than the Rockets in terms of team configuration, and in the new season, they will have the opportunity to compete for the championship and compete with the Rockets."

"Through this deal, the Lakers got Pau Gasol and Sean Marion, which completely complemented the front line."

"Last season, because of the lack of ball, Pau Gasol averaged only 12 points and 9 rebounds per game, but a few more seasons ago, Pau Gasol averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game in his junior season, and if he got enough ball, Pau Gasol could at least average 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game, that is, the Rockets got a potential star inside."

"Sean Marion's scoring statistics in recent seasons are not high, but this is also because of the ball restrictions, Marion has a season with plenty of balls, that is, in the 2001-2002 season, he also averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game."

"After careful analysis, the Lakers got two potential All-Star players through this deal, and after this deal, the Lakers should form a trio, and if Kobe Bryant can show some competitiveness in the new season, perhaps, they also have a chance to join the O'Brien Cup race."

That is, one trade, and both the Grizzlies and the Lakers are alive.

The Grizzlies directly solved their team configuration problem and formed a king-bomb combination to become a championship team in one fell swoop.

And the Lakers got two young forward players, plus young Kobe, and now, the Lakers have become completely younger, and in time, they will obviously be a championship team.

……

Jinling City, Qiao's Toronto restaurant, Han Xue followed Qiao Hai to meet his parents.

In fact, at the beginning, Qiao Hai was not ready to take Han Xue to meet his parents, but Qiao Hai, who goes home once a year, was immediately arranged by Qiao's mother on a blind date as soon as he returned home.

was so frightened that Qiao Hai immediately confessed to Han Xue.

And now, Mother Qiao stared at Han Xue with a kind smile, looking very satisfied.

But Qiao Hai was a little apprehensive in his heart, because he always felt that he and Han Xue would not have any results.

Regarding Han Xue, Qiao's father didn't express any opinions, but looking at the dishes on the table in the Toronto restaurant, in addition to the restaurant's unique signature dishes, there are also a few more dishes that Qiao's father used to do when he opened the restaurant.

It can be seen that Qiao's father is also very satisfied.

During the meal, Qiao's father gave Qiao Hai a general introduction to the development of a series of restaurants in Toronto in recent years.

The Toronto series of chain restaurants has developed very rapidly in recent years, and more than one branch has been opened in cities above the second tier across the country, and there is more than one branch in cities above the first tier.

Obviously, Qiao's father's catering business has been getting better and better in the past two years.

Qiao's father asked Qiao Hai to give him some advice, but obviously, Qiao Hai couldn't help much anymore when the business reached this point, and he couldn't put forward any constructive suggestions.

……

Qiao Hai was forced to take Han Xue to meet his parents helplessly, but Han Xue's parents, he didn't dare to meet them for the time being.

Although Han Xue mentioned it for a moment or two, after thinking about it, he still decided not to see him for the time being.

Qiao Hai stayed in Jinling for about half a month, and then, he was ready to leave for the United States, but before returning to the United States, he arranged a week to go to the capital, and the "Celestial Basketball Development Plan" he arranged last year was already in progress.

……

For the Celestial Empire basketball development plan, Qiao Hai's requirements at that time were that the young players participating in this selection activity should not be more than 14 years old, test their bone age, test their basketball skills, and there will be a half-year intensive special training, and the person in charge of the special training will be David Falck's agency to find an NBA coach from the United States.

At this moment, in a basketball hall on the outskirts of the capital, Qiao Hai looked at it and was full of young players in their teens.

Zheng Ming, general manager of Aoshen, said: "Most of the young players here are from various local sports schools, and if we really have to be selected in the end, we may have to pay a buyout fee, which may not be a small number." ”

Qiao Hai nodded, the money is, for him now, it is not a matter, he knows very well that if he can really find a few treasures from this group of young players, cultivate and cultivate, and the investment will be able to be recovered in the future.

Moreover, he quickly thought of a player in the Aoshen team.

"Sun Yue is old enough to participate in the NBA draft, right?"

Zheng Ming nodded immediately, and then pointed to the field: "It's here, he's here today, it seems to be participating in a one-on-one activity with young players." ”

Qiao Hai looked over, Sun Yue, who was born in 85, was already old enough to participate in the draft at this time.

Sun Yue, who is now 19 years old, has a potential value of 80 and an existing ability value of 68, and if he plays another season, he will be 20 years old.

After Qiao Hai finished reading Sun Yue, he continued to look at the field, and the young players in the field were of different sizes, some tall and some short.

Qiao Hai asked another question: "Are most of the young players here under the age of 14?" ”

Zheng Ming nodded: "Yes, except for a few who are over 14 years old, the other young players are under 14 years old." ”

Zheng Ming then pointed out a few players over the age of 14, from which Qiao Hai found several familiar names.

"Xu Yong, he is 15 years old, he is a student of Modu Wuai Senior High School, and the reason why he was selected is because of his strong physical fitness, as well as his technical and tactical playing style that is different from that of domestic players......"

Xu Yong, this name is very familiar, and Qiao Hai quickly remembered the story about this name.
