308. Turbulent summer

Remember in one second [for wonderful reading.]

"With all due respect, the Hawks are the weakest of the teams that have invited me right now, and you need a reason to impress me." Despite an inexplicable affection for the Hawks' rookie director, whom he had never met, Payton Sr. asked the same question he had asked Galgerich.

For a veteran who has worked hard in the league for more than a decade and won numerous honors, everyone knows that only the championship ring is what they care about the most.

This question was taken by Tom? Thibodeau picked up straightforwardly, "Gary, if you join, we will definitely be able to win the championship in two years at most." ”

"I know that you must be invited by the Heat and the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers will have to run in the lineup for at least one season, as for the Heat ......", Uncle Tom suddenly avoided talking about the Miami team, "I'll tell you where my confidence comes from." ”

Old Peyton was not surprised by Thibodeau's unusually determined tone, or simply thought that Thibodeau was blowing up and directly rejected the Eagle's invitation, but leaned forward slightly with great interest.

Thibodeau looked solemn, "Yao is the most dominant center outside of Shaq, but unlike Shaq, Yao has two excellent defensive interior lines of Chris and Joel by his side, full of fearless fighting spirit and energy. ”

"Other than that, I can pat my chest and say that we have the best defensive lineup in the league, Andre? Iguodala and Matt? Barnes is an excellent one-man defender, while Josh? Smith has a talent for perfect side defense and rotational defense, and his speed, body, and bounce make him not only capable of delivering explosive blocks under the basket, but also a weapon for breaking the pick-and-roll strategy. ”

"Last season we had two shortcomings, one was a point guard and the other was an outside shooter, and now we have made up for both of those shortcomings."

"Jamal? Outside of Crawford, we have this year's tall pitcher Danny? Granger, as well as Andre and Andre, worked hard to get open threes. ”

"Chris? Paul is the best point guard I've seen in recent years, and his passing ability is good enough to match the Suns' Steve? Nash compares Chris to the kind of player who can make it easier for his teammates to attack, and all he lacks is a mentor......

It is self-evident that Thibodeau did not invite the situation, but continued, "The most important thing is that our team works hard enough, unites enough, is tenacious enough, and energetic enough!" ”

"We have only one goal...... Gary, your joining can speed up the process, that's the championship! ”

In fact, Galgerich had already analyzed the Hawks' lineup the day before, and he believed that the Hawks' configuration was more reasonable than that of the Trail Blazers and Heat.

Although the Portland Trail Blazers have excellent outside firepower, they lack a point guard who can reasonably distribute the ball. Johnson is also averaging close to five assists per game and is not a selfish player, but they basically pass the ball to the open space in the direction of the defense, which is not a reasonable allocation of the team to organize the offense.

In addition, the lack of qualified blue-collar players on the interior is also a problem for the Trail Blazers, which means that Gasol needs to expend more energy on the defensive end, which affects the play on the offensive end.

Comparatively speaking, at least O'Neal has a conscientious Haslem next to him, but once the Heat is tightened by the opponent's interior defense to restrain the aging sharks, the shortcomings of the lack of outside shooters will be exposed. Jones was under the Mavericks, Korver was traded by the Jazz, and the rookie pitcher, Channing? Frye went to the Big Apple, Granger to Atlanta, Hyde to Rose Garden, and Webster to Salt Lake City...... The Miami chose Wayne with the only first-round pick in his hand? Simeon, the NCAA power forward known for his toughness, finally disappeared without even a flash.

Subsequently, Galgerich began analyzing the Hawks' roster for Payton, specifically for this summer's draft. Granger and David? Li is particularly optimistic about the two rookies, and many teams look down on Granger because the rookie is biased towards projection on the outside, but in the Hawks' tactical system, such a mobile turret will benefit from tactics very much, because the Eagles have never lacked breakthrough talents, whether it is Smith, Iguodala or Crawford, these players are all fast-paced and more capable of facing the frame, plus the newly joined Da Yao, who will make the outside pitcher like a fish in water.

White power forward David? Lee looks relatively average physically, but his technical versatility and attitude on the court have been praised by Galgerich, who thinks that David? Lee is a very good addition to Atlanta's inside line. In addition, Galgerich also singled out the Polish hammer Gortat, a European center who usually shows good utility as long as he can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.

According to Galgerich's words, the Hawks have all the pieces of the puzzle needed for a championship-caliber team, and all they lack is experience, and he prefers that the Hawks have a better chance of creating a miracle than the end of the Heat's dominance of the league, as long as the team's will is tenacious enough.

Also, he specifically mentioned, "Gary, if you win a championship with the Heat, people will think that you have this ring with your thigh, but if you follow the Hawks to win the championship, they will put you in a pivotal position, and the only thing you need to consider is your physical condition." ”

The implication is that Payton Sr. can actually maintain his competitive form for at least two years, and can fight for the road to winning a championship as a "leader", although his playing time may only be the share of role players, but Uncle Glove is definitely a leader at Uncle Mu's level in the Atlanta locker room.

At this time, the scales in Payton's heart have begun to tilt, and today's meeting is just the last test for the Hawks' management team, a test of confidence, and Thibodeau's answer, although not perfect, is enough to impress Payton.

At the same time that Milican reaped the good news, Lao Chiang, who had been urged by the schedule, received bad news from Europe.

Toney has made a formal transfer request, while Drogba has been ambiguous on the issue of contract extension, and there are clearly hunters standing behind him.

In fact, across Europe, the transfer storm has intensified! (To be continued.) )
