I am so Accurate
Chapter 658 Return to Los Angeles!
"Without you, the Warriors wouldn't be where they are today."
After Sun Hao published this long article, the Warriors official quickly forwarded it and added the words of sincere gratitude.
It can be seen from this that Sun Hao had enough communication with the Warriors before making this decision.
It was an amicable breakup.
But in the end, one stone stirred up a thousand waves. After Sun Hao's long article was published, the alliance was in an uproar.
Before this, no one thought that Sun Hao would leave the Warriors this summer.
Especially for Warriors fans, this is nothing short of a bolt from the blue.
Of course, after the shock, more fans’ true inner reaction is, this is great!
The Warriors' death five are very strong, but they can still be defended.
But the Death Five and Sun Hao, two unsolvable things put together, are basically invincible.
74 wins plus 15 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs, sweeping the Knicks to win the championship. These numbers are the most direct evidence.
In fact, most fans have lower expectations for the new season than before.
Because although the Warriors are destined to have some lineup fluctuations, they still give people the feeling of being destined to win the championship.
But now, Sun Hao has left the Warriors, and the suspense is back!
Of course, the happiest people must be the Los Angeles fans!
This kind of surprise cannot be expressed in words at all!
Return to youth! Dream come true!
Some fans were so emotional that they even wrote poems about it.
Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses!
Finally the wanderer returns home, finally the king returns!
The Lakers have been in decline for several years, Phil Jackson resigned, the Buss family fought internally, and the old Buss passed away!
Isn't this the time when the building is about to collapse? !
Moreover, Sun Hao resolutely chose to come back when the Warriors were about to become a dynasty. That feeling, just like the "Acknowledgments" written by Huang Guoping, a doctor of engineering at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, moved people deeply to the soul.
Even further afield, the Sunkoro City Derby, which was originally unable to take place, is still coming!
That kind of sweetness is like a sugar bowl full of sugar, making people’s teeth tingle just thinking about it!
The day after Sun Hao published his long article, Los Angeles fans showed their fanaticism.
On the streets of Los Angeles, a large number of fans took to the streets and held a massive celebration parade, which paralyzed traffic in most of Los Angeles.
What’s even more incredible is that the local Los Angeles Police Department did not drive away the traffic, but acted responsibly in directing traffic.
In the parade, a large number of fans took out Sun Hao's No. 95 jersey that they had treasured at the bottom of the box.
Various banners and signs welcoming Sun Hao back to Los Angeles could be seen everywhere in the parade.
Even the U.S. election has never seen such a grand event.
It’s hard to imagine a basketball player having such an impact.
Before this, people thought that the fans' reaction when Kobe returned to Los Angeles was shocking enough, but now Sun Hao let them know that it was not the case.
On the same day, the Lakers officially released a message welcoming Sun Hao back, accompanied by pictures of the parade.
"You just came back, but it's like you never left!"
The title of this update was also an emotional bomb, completely igniting the inner emotions of Los Angeles fans.
Some are happy and some are sad.
On the other side of the Bay Area, fans were extremely disappointed.
A fan posted a video on social media.
In the video, he is holding Sun Hao's Warriors No. 1 jersey in one hand and an igniter in the other.
Just when people thought he was going to burn Sun Hao's jersey, he took the igniter away, then took out a piece of paper and put it in front of the camera.
There was a sentence written on that piece of paper: Thank you for everything you have done for the Warriors.
Then, there was another piece of paper, with another sentence written on it: Go ahead and fulfill the promise you made.
Not long after this video came out, it attracted many likes from fans on social media.
This also includes a considerable number of Warriors fans.
Although Jerry West's strategy was behind Sun Hao's joining the Warriors, in the final analysis it was Sun Hao who made the decision.
If Sun Hao really has no idea about the Warriors, then it would be useless for West even if Zhuge was alive.
Everyone can see the changes Sun Hao has brought to the Warriors.
He helped Durant grow and also helped Curry grow. In order to do that, he sacrificed a lot of ball rights.
Even because of doing that, he was regarded by many fans as inferior to Jordan and Kobe.
But last season, and now, looking at what he did, that kind of focusing on the future is not something ordinary people can do.
So they must be grateful to Sun Hao.
Not to mention the current strength of the Warriors, even without Sun Hao, they still have a chance to challenge the dynasty.
A few days later, Sun Hao returned to Los Angeles.
After being stuck in traffic for a long time at the airport, he returned to Staples Center.
The Lakers haven't decided who will take over, so everything is still running as before.
The person who came to receive Sun Hao was Jenny Bass.
Because they arrived half a day later than expected, Jenny and the others also waited there for half a day.
But even then, Jenny was still very polite to Sun Hao this time.
This is completely normal. It is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Hao is the Lakers' life-saving straw now.
Sun Hao didn't care about this either.
There are many things he considers before making a decision.
But after making a decision, many of the things he considered became things he needed to adapt to.
This is something that people must learn if they want to be successful.
After a simple meeting, it was time to sign the contract and follow up with a press conference.
The reason why Sun Hao signed a 2+1 contract with the Warriors before was because he has played in the NBA for more than ten years.
The contract he signed this time has a starting salary of 35% of the salary cap.
However, according to the new labor agreement just reached, Sun Hao can only reach a maximum salary contract of four years with the Lakers due to the team change.
So this time, the two parties signed a 3+1 contract. In four years, Sun Hao will be 33 years old and can renew his last maximum salary contract with the Lakers.
Moreover, in order to show sincerity, the Lakers added a "trade veto power" to this contract.
Unless Sun Hao agrees, the Lakers cannot trade Sun Hao to other teams.
Although the possibility of the Lakers trading Sun Hao is almost non-existent, the existence of this clause is a great respect for Sun Hao.
After signing the contract, Sun Hao met Butler, Knight, and Andrew Goodlock in another room of the arena.
These three people are the rookies picked by the Lakers in the previous draft this year.
Before he returned to Los Angeles, they had signed a formal contract with the Lakers, but they had not had time to meet with the fans.
This time when Sun Hao came back, the Lakers naturally made a one-time arrangement.
Sun Hao has a good impression of Knight and Butler. After all, both of them are known for their hard work.
This kind of newcomer is even easier to lead than the one from the Warriors.
Because you don’t need to say anything at all, you just need to teach them some basketball skills.
After a while you will find that they have learned everything you taught them.
As for Goodlock, Sun Hao didn't have much impression. He only knew that he was also a CBA star, and because of his name, he also had the nickname "good.lucky", which means "good luck".
However, after a few words of conversation, unlike Butler who was not good at talking and Knight who was gentle and elegant, this guy was actually a good talker, more like a black man.
After meeting, they went to attend the press conference together.
When they arrived, there were many reporters eating at the press conference.
Like Jenny, they had been waiting here for most of the day.
People are like iron rice and steel. If they don't eat one meal, they will be hungry.
Because Sun Hao was not sure when he would come, they had to make do on the spot.
When Sun Hao came in, there was a rustling sound, and the reporters quickly packed themselves up.
"Sorry, I came two years later than expected."
After sitting down, Sun Hao took the microphone and said something with a smile.
Just this sentence made the reporters at the scene burst into laughter.
Originally, Sun Hao's comeback more than two years ago was supposed to be with the Lakers, but he went to the Warriors, so he didn't have the opportunity to hold a press conference in Los Angeles.
Now more than two years have passed and he is back.
And not only because of this authentic American humor, but also because of the familiar feeling.
When Sun Hao was still in Los Angeles, he was also famous for his humor.
The first feeling of so many reporters in the audience at this moment was just like the official title of the Lakers:
I just came back, but it feels like I never left.
One sentence is equivalent to saying hello, and then comes the question and answer session.
Butler and the others were just watching the show, because as soon as the Q\u0026A session started, all the questions were directed towards Sun Hao.
Problems in every aspect.
Why did you choose to return to Los Angeles? What do you think of the Lakers' current lineup? Do you have the confidence to lead the Lakers to win the championship again?
Sun Hao had basically anticipated these questions in advance and answered them fluently.
"As I said on social media, this is not only Jerry's last wish, but also because of the promise I made to the Los Angeles fans."
"The Lakers are very young now but have great potential, just like the Warriors I just went to two years ago."
"I said I came back to fulfill my promise. Maybe it will be a big challenge, but that's what attracted me."
…
Sun Hao's answers always make people feel comfortable, satisfied and gain something.
The overall atmosphere of the press conference was the same as before, and it can be described as harmonious.
But there are always some people or media who are special.
For example, the FOX Sports reporter’s questions seemed a bit sharp after he stood up.
"Do you regret leaving the Warriors, or do you blame yourself? Because you had the opportunity to lead them to the first dynasty in franchise history, and even more championships."
As soon as this question came up, there was a commotion on the scene.
Sun Hao was also a little surprised, but he didn't appear unhappy or anything.
There is certainly no escaping this question, the difference lies only in when and where it is asked.
"No, the young people on the Warriors are better than we imagined. Without me, they still have a great chance to hit the dynasty."
Sun Hao's answer was very serious at first.
But the next sentence he said was very naughty.
"Of course, if they can beat the Lakers."
The sentence added at the end made the press conference burst into laughter again.
This sentence is neither humble nor arrogant, and the key is that Sun Hao is the number one player in the league. The improvement he can bring to the Lakers, even such a Lakers team, will be extremely huge.
So this is a humorous statement, but it also has a kingly atmosphere.
What best echoes this sentence is that after Sun Hao returned to the Lakers, in ESPN's strength list, the Lakers immediately entered the top five, ranking only behind the Warriors, Knicks, Bulls and Grizzlies. Higher than the Clippers next door.
You know, the Lakers didn't even make the playoffs last season!
After signing Sun Hao, the Lakers now have the core members of the lineup: Sun Hao, Carter, Knight, Butler, Millsap, and Hibbert.
The lower limit of this lineup is actually not low, but because there are many young players, if you want to further improve your strength, you have to make some reinforcements in the free market, especially signing some experienced players back.
But this will be a very challenging job for Kupchak.
Because there are not many free agents this year, and a group of players were suspended and went to play overseas.
Like Deron Williams, who has an "NBA" opt-out clause, he came back after the lockout ended.
But there are some people like JR Smith, Wilson Chandler and others who went to China. Without this clause, they will not be able to come back at this time.
And despite the fact that there are not many players in the Lakers, Sun Hao is 35% of the "super top prospects", Carter is in his last year of maximum salary, and Millsap, although not a maximum salary, still has an annual salary of around 10 million.
The Lakers' room for reinforcement is not as big as expected.
But one thing to note is that in a fish tank, there will be a following phenomenon.
Wherever the big fish goes, there will be many medium-sized or small fish following.
In other words, now that Sun Hao has arrived with the Lakers, many of the few free agents will definitely have ideas to follow him.
So the next period is going to be very interesting.
Let’s first take a look at the bigger fish in the free market.
In addition to Yi Jianlian, Gasol, Jeff Green and others who have already renewed their contracts, and Ray Allen who has executed his contract, the remaining players include:
Oden and Landry of the Warriors, Tyson Chandler of the Mavericks, Shane Battier of the Trail Blazers, Jamal Crawford of the Hawks, Afflalo of the Nuggets (influenced by Restricted), the 76ers' Nene and Thaddeus Young (restricted), the Grizzlies' DeAndre Jordan (restricted), the Bucks' Reid, the Jazz's Kirilenko...
But before these players could start swimming, a wave of bombs suddenly hit the free market.
The person who made this bomb is "Warcraft" Howard, who has been rumored to be at odds with the team before!
