NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal
Chapter 507: About the teacher reported that the Union Earthquake
According to senior scouts, Nowitzki's choice to stay with the Dallas Mavericks may have cost him 20 million less, and the Mavericks will definitely give him a big contract if he asks.
Regardless of Cuban's love for Nowitzki, just say that the 2013-2014 season just passed, the 36-year-old German tank was still selected as an All-Star, and played the most efficient year since the 2007-2008 season.
Of course, Nowitzki, the reason why he chose a new contract to take a substantial salary reduction should be that the Mavericks management also did the same after winning a championship and entering the offseason.
Portland.
The location of the summer camp has been set. From July 5th to the beginning of August, they will train in Hawaii for a month.
The biggest reason for choosing the location in Hawaii is that it is a world-renowned tourist attraction, especially Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, the capital of the state. After training, you can swim and surf there.
But Wang Zelin hasn't planned to leave yet, and he won't leave Portland for the next few days.
First of all, after the draft, Wang Zelin attached great importance to the rookies selected this year. As a "come here", he is very aware of the potential of Nikola Jokic, so he came to the training hall today to observe the rookie Jokic who came to the Blazers to report. strange.
Although Jokic still has contracts with overseas teams, this season may not come, but in any case, the future of joining the Blazers with Jokic is even more worth looking forward to!
Secondly, with the expansion of influence, Wang Zilin's business activities will definitely be more intensive and more frequent. How to balance training, business activities and rest time is not an easy task. He needs to formulate this with his team. Summer plans.
When he got up in the morning, after having a good meal, he went out happily. When he drove to the outside of the Rose Garden Arena, he also saw many tourists from all over the world gathered in the square.
Today, the Rose Garden Arena is one of Portland's most popular tourist attractions.
Thinking of the first year I joined, before the game day, how deserted the arena would be.
But now what?
Even if it's not a match day, the square is full of people!
The Rose Garden Arena is still the same arena, not much has changed. But the Portland Trail Blazers are not the team they once were.
A team is the soul of an arena. After winning the championship, its huge influence has brought high exposure, which makes more and more people fall in love with Rose Garden Arena.
Just like the Staples Center and the North Shore Garden Plaza, which are known as the temples of basketball, without the rich heritage laid by countless predecessors of the Lakers and Celtics, they would never have been favored by so many fans.
Don't you see, after Jordan lost the United Center, wouldn't the grand occasion of the year be lost?
Of course, compared with the above two arenas, Madison Square Garden is particularly special.
The reason why he is known as the holy land of basketball is firstly because it is located in New York City, one of the most prosperous cities in the world, and secondly, since the establishment of the NBA, there are too many NBA stars who have left the imprint of their own times there. Various factors Created the uniqueness of Madison Square Garden.
Now, when the Rose Garden Arena has been baptized by the spiritual championship, the soul has been sublimated, and it has instantly gained a high popularity.
All this made Wang Zelin laugh later. He really hoped to turn this into another basketball holy land.
After parking the car, Wang Zelin walked into the training hall impatiently.
When he pushed open the door of the training hall, he found that there were twenty or thirty people gathered on the training ground of the Trail Blazers.
"Here? Nikola Jokic has arrived, and he is undergoing a physical test. You can see him later."
Seeing Wang Zelin appearing on the training ground, the general manager of the team, Nell Olsey, greeted him warmly.
Wang Zelin glanced at the training, and head coach Terry Stotts and assistant coach David Vanderpool also waved at him.
In addition, he also saw a few new faces, and it was only after Coach Gentry said that he learned that these people are the more prominent players in the G League team this year.
After deciding to add Artest, Alexander Pavlovich, Mike Muscala and Mo Williams, the Blazers urgently need to increase the thickness of the bench.
The 3D players of the front and back will be the first choice.
In this year's free agency, Hayward, Roald Deng, Ariza, and Bradley will all be in the selection range.
As for the two biggest fishes in the free market, James and Anthony, the Blazers management will basically not consider them. They have Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge with unlimited potential, and they are better than young.
The stars cultivated by oneself are always better than those who are airborne.
In addition to the pursuit of 3D players at the front and back, the team's contract renewals for several players that expired last season should also be considered according to the actual situation.
Connet Lee and Beverley don't have to worry about it. After being traded to the Blazers, the two of them still have two years of contracts with the Blazers, especially Beverley, who will be paid the minimum salary for the next two years.
Speaking of which, thanks again to a wave of Houston Mosaic management! Thanks for the three-year base salary contract they signed with Beverley on January 7, 2013.
Garnett is left, and the contract expires in one season. Considering that the Blazers are still a strong contender in the league next season, the locker room really needs a veteran like Garnett. Even with Jokic, Garnett is very useful as a third big man and a mentor.
As for, is Garnett willing to stay with the Blazers?
Isn't that obvious?
If possible, no one should refuse the temptation to win the championship ring.
"Wang, Terry, Orsi, this is Nikola Jokic's physical test data."
At this moment, the trainer's loud shout made everyone's eyes gather. To be precise, it was the chubby young guy behind him.
In fact, before the draft, Nikola Jokic had been to several teams for trial training. After the trial training, he returned to Serbia, waiting for the draft information, but no matter which time he came to the Rose Garden like today The arena is so tense.
Because he knows that the Blazers are this year's champion team.
It has the best team atmosphere here, and it is also the team where the league's current No. 1 center is located. Therefore, he not only hopes that he will be favored by the Trailblazers, but also worried that after joining the Trailblazers, due to the existence of Wang Zelin, he will get a mediocre training opportunity.
"That's... Wang Zelin!"
And when Jokic followed the trainer to complete the physical test, and saw Wang Zelin standing between the general manager and the head coach, he was instantly nervous!
Having gone to so many teams before, as an unknown international player, he has never met the leading star of any team.
After all, those stars have just finished a long season, and now they are eager to enter the offseason quickly. Who wants to waste time on the draft, or the second round pick.
Although I had long heard that the reason why he was selected by the team was entirely because of Wang Zelin's appointment, he actually didn't take it too seriously.
As the winner of this year's MVP and FMVP awards, Wang Zelin is unlikely to know himself.
He prefers to believe that the Blazers team was keenly aware of their potential, so they cut him before the Nuggets.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin, who held the O'Brien Cup on TV some time ago, is now standing in front of him alive!
Looking at Wang Zelin, who was laughing with the team's head coach and general manager, Jokic's mind went blank. Thanks to a shout from the trainer, his thoughts were pulled back.
"Child, how much do you weigh now?"
Putting down the physical test report, Terry Stotts looked at Jokic, who was covered in fat, and couldn't help but want to reconfirm.
"Uh... 274 pounds."
Jokic hesitated for a moment. He just said that he was finished, so he couldn't kill the lie. He gritted his teeth and reported his weight again.
"Oh, my God," Nell Orsey patted his forehead helplessly, then turned his head and complained to Wang Zelin:
"Wang, what you told me at the time was 255 pounds, but now... he is 19 pounds heavier than you said."
"..."
Wang Zelin sighed inwardly when he heard this.
Although he knew for a long time that after being selected by the Nuggets, Jokic was not able to compete in the NBA for the first time due to weight problems, but when he witnessed Jokic's physical test report, he was still a little helpless.
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely lose weight in the shortest possible time."
Hearing what the two of them said, Jokic began to fear that he would be brushed off by the Blazers because he was too fat, so that his NBA dream was shattered, and he added quickly.
"Man, if you really want to have a good time in the NBA, I sincerely suggest that you must lose weight!"
Although Teacher Yue was too mellow in front of him, Wang Zelin comforted the former with a smile.
"That's right, let's start the skill test first."
The trainer smiled and came out to round the field. He had long known that the fat man in front of him was indeed hand-picked by Wang Zelin, so he tried every means to make the atmosphere more cheerful.
"Well, after the skill test is over, there will be another 5-on-5 group battle."
Neil Orsey Road.
5-on-5 trial training is the project that can best reflect a player's true strength.
In the scouting report, Jokic's greatest strength is his basketball IQ.
Although it is impossible to judge whether a player is good or not based on a game, combining on-the-spot performance and people's previous understanding of a player can at least allow people to see a player more thoroughly.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.
Wang Zelin came to the sidelines and sat on the bench. As soon as he looked up, he found that Jokic was staring at him on the court.
After realizing that he was also looking at him, the more active he became, the more he turned his face away. With his chubby figure and his look looking around, it was as if the student who was distracted found out, the head teacher standing at the window.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Aware of Jokic's predicament, Wang Zelin laughed out loud on the spot.
"Well... this kid is quite interesting."
Next to him, Terry Stotts was also amused by Jokic's actions.
Soon, Jokic's skills were tested, but Nel Orsey didn't rush to see it, but let Jokic take a break and prepare for a 5-on-5 practice training for a while.
Fortunately, in addition to Jokic and the G League players today, there are also some free agents who came to the Trail Blazers for trial training at their own expense. The number of people on the court can be combined with 10 people for a group match.
Does this kid really have such a high IQ as Wang said?
Neil Olsey thought.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to Jokic, who was jumping in the middle circle, with doubts and expectations in his eyes.
He understands that Wang Zelin has never been a person without a target.
But Jokic's figure, after all, is too weird to convince him.
……
……
……
After half an hour.
The 20-minute contest is over.
Jokic didn't score much, only 6 points were recorded, but he sent 4 assists.
In the end, he asked Wang Zelin for an autograph, and then he reluctantly left the Rose Garden Arena.
"I have to say, King, the Serb you appointed... is really interesting."
After everyone left, Nel Orsi said this to Wang Zelin.
Before leaving that night, he copied a bunch of videotapes of Jokic playing in Europe from assistant coach David Vanderpool's computer.
In his heart, he has initially recognized Jokic as a rookie.
Of course, before that, Jokic must work hard and cooperate with the trainer's arrangement to lose that **** fat.
……
……
……
As more and more players test the water in the free market, the six-eyed flying fish are also flying all over the sky.
Stoudemire stayed with the Knicks;
Lowry and the Raptors reached a four-year, $48 million extension;
Pau Gasol wants to leave the Lakers;
……
Everything, there is a feeling that the mountains and the rain are about to come and the building is full of wind.
There are endless speculations about the rumors. Although the NBA off-season suffered from the World Cup stealing the spotlight, the popularity continued unabated.
until July 12.
According to ESPN reports, LeBron James has finally decided to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The world's regular MVP has returned to the first team in his career~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is also his hometown team.
After the Heat were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the finals, they continued to sing "Where is James" for a long time, and the curtain came to an end.
At noon local time, James informed Sports Illustrated that he would return to the Cavaliers.
Immediately, Sports Illustrated published an article written by James in the first person:
"I have more feelings for Northeast Ohio than I have for basketball, and I would have realized it 10 years ago, and I realize it now."
For the alliance, it is another major event!
For James, it's also a big reversal from his 2010 decision. During his 4 years for the Heat, he, Wade and Bosh formed the Big Three to win 2 championships in 4 years, which is not a failure.
Before that, the Heat also tried their best to keep James, and the Godfather of the Heat, Pat Riley, flew to Las Vegas in person on Wednesday, hoping to show up that James would stay in the team.
But in the end, James still said "NO!" to Riley and the Heat.
He chose to return to the Cavaliers, the team that drafted him in 2003, and his hometown team.
Since then, the news of LeBron James' return to the Cavaliers has spread, and the entire NBA has ushered in a huge earthquake.
