Chapter 252: The Mavericks got...

　　 Sun Hao did not engage in personal training camps like last year.
　　Because there is a World Championship in August, he will return to China at the end of June to participate in joint training with the men's basketball team.
　　 This year in history, the famous incident of Wang Zhizhi's non-return occurred.
　　 Because the new contract has not been finalized, Wang Zhizhi hopes to return to China after playing the summer league.
　　 But the summer league was in July and the World Championship was in August. There was not enough time between him and the national team, and finally the two sides fell out.
　　 But because he successfully entered the rotation last season and performed well, Wang Zhizhi has a high probability of renewing his contract with the Mavericks. This historical event has never happened again.
　　 He will report back to China with Sun Hao.
　　 It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian will also go back with them.
　　 In the past high school year, Yi Jianlian averaged 19.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game in the NSAA.
　　 He has been invited by many NCAA teams, and similarly, he has also been drafted into the training list by the national team.
　　 Yi Jianlian, who was in the same period in history, only entered the youth team because of his age change, but now he skips this stage.
　　 Before returning home, the four of them were training together in Dallas.
　　 The 2002 draft is coming soon.
　　 In April of this year, before the deadline for the NBA draft registration, Yi Jianlian and Sun Hao discussed whether to participate this year.
　　 The final result is like now, Yi Jianlian did not run for the election.
　　 On the one hand, Yi Jianlian needs to go to an American university to improve his strength;
　　 On the other hand, and more importantly, Yi Jianlian has not received enough attention from NBA teams.
　　 In NBA history, most of the rookies who participated as high school students were actually promised by NBA teams.
　　 Take Garnett as an example. His original plan was to finish college before entering the election, but after high school, he has already received the Timberwolves draft promise.
　　 A similar situation can be seen in people such as Kobe, James, Howard and others.
　　 So for Yi Jianlian, playing NCAA is obviously a better choice.
　　 Also while they were training, the 2002 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York as scheduled.
　　 This year's draft was well-known to the Chinese people because of Yao Ming.
　　 Now that Yao Ming has entered the election in advance, the overall quality of this draft is also average, and the attention is predictably low.
　　 But because of Yi Jianlian, he and Yi Jianlian watched the draft live broadcast together.
　　 At the end of April, the draft lottery was over. The Houston team, as in history, was very, very lucky to win the No. 1 pick.
　　 Yao Ming is gone, who they will choose is also a matter of concern.
　　 In addition to Yao Ming, there are some good rookies in this class.
　　 Well, there are also the most popular big rookies of this era.
　　 Drew Gooden, Yao Ming is absent, he became the top pick.
　　 Good physical talent. In his junior year, he averaged 19.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.8 steals, and led the team to a historic NCAA semi-final, breaking a bit of Duncan's taste.
Stoudemire, Stoudemire did not play NCAA and decided to run after graduating from high school. His physical condition is outstanding, but like Eddie Griffin, who was previously selected by the Houston team, he also looks "headless" Types of.
　　Nene, although Nene did not go to high school in the United States and did not play NCAA, but he showed a beast-like physical fitness in the Chicago joint trial of the previous draft pick, which is also the love of all teams in this era.
　　……
　　 Before the draft began, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian were also analyzing possible options for the Houston team.
　　 Yi Jianlian is more optimistic about Stoudemire, who is both a high school student, and the two have played against each other. He knows Stoudemire's talent and strength.
　　 Sun Hao prefers Jay Williams, a point guard.
　　In history, Jay Williams was the second best pick. In history, he was also selected to the Dream Five team.
　　 If it were not for the loss of athletic ability due to a subsequent car accident, he would also have a chance to become an All-Star guard.
　　And more importantly, the Houston team already has Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown two big insiders.
　　 Although this dull and unhappy combination is not particularly good, it has just finished a season after all.
　　 Houston, the possibility of re-election inside is not very high.
　　 However, after the Houston team really made a choice, the two of them found out...no one guessed right!
　　 The Houston team, with the No. 1 pick, chose Nick Lotz Skitisvili!
　　 Uh, well, Sun Hao admitted that he had never heard the name.
　　 After learning about it, he knew that this was Georgian Nowitzki.
　　 2.13 meters tall, has excellent shooting talent, and also has the excellent quotient of European players.
　　 This seems to be a good choice indeed.
　　 And it can be seen that the Houston team still wants to train big men.
　　 The twin towers are not good, then one inside and one outside.
　　 Kwame Blanca Nicolodz Skitisvili, the Houston Twin Towers turn to O'Neill Ga Nowitzki.
　　 This also looks great.
　　 It’s just that, for this insider who Sun Hao has never heard of, the Houston team is afraid it’s going to be cold again.
After 　　, the few rookies that followed are roughly the same as in history.
　　Nene went to the Nuggets, Stoudemire went to the Suns, Caron Butler went to the Heat, Prince went to the Pistons...
　　 The Timberwolves were revoked from the draft, and Garnett could only wait for his new helper in the free market.
　　 Then, the Mavericks' selection in the first round surprised Sun Hao again.
　　 They picked Juan Carlos Navarro with the 27th overall pick.
　　 They chose Navarro, the "bomb" that Sun Hao had played against in La Liga!
　　 Whether this choice has anything to do with Sun Hao is unknown.
　　 But Navarro was the second round in history, and he didn't make it to the NBA until a long time later.
　　 The Mavericks' selection is really surprising.
　　 And the point is, the team chose a guard!
　　 The current configuration of the Mavericks does not lack guards.
　　 Instead, Sabonis has not confirmed his return, and the contracts of Kukoc, Wang Zhizhi and Battelle have all expired.
　　 How can you choose an insider?
　　 Sun Hao didn't understand this kind of operation, but he really couldn't talk about management's affairs.
　　The draft is over, after Sun Hao and Scarlett bid farewell, the four of them and Yi Jianlian returned to the national team to report.
　　 Yao Ming arrived in the national team earlier, plus the four of them, for a total of five.
　　 Four insiders and four NBA players, although their strengths are different, this is enough to make fans look forward to the Chinese team in the World Championships.
　　 And because of the previous experience of winning the Asian Championships together, many players of that team are also on the training list, and the team's tacit understanding is not a problem at all.
　　 Originally, Sun Hao had to spend a long offseason in order to make a breakthrough and get next season.
　　 But the atmosphere of the national team made him look forward to the World Championships.
　　 And he knows that this year's US team is the weakest team in history, and the men's basketball team might really make a difference.
　　 Just when Sun Hao was training for the national team, the time came to July, and the NBA's new year's free market door opened.
　　 Don't compare the free market at this time with the free market in the future.
　　 Limited by the background of the times, most players in this era signed very long contracts, the kind of six or seven years guaranteed.
　　 It is also destined that the free market of this era will not be as hot as the future.
　　 Lewis of the Sonics, Bunge Wells of the Trail Blazers, LaFrenz of the Mavericks... These are basically the big fishes that have received the most attention.
　　 For the Mavericks, old Nelson began to encounter challenges.
　　 As he himself said, he is really not very good at being a general manager.
　　 After giving Finley a big contract, Nowitzki's big contract for the new season will also begin.
　　 There are also Van Exel's ten million contract, and the potential pressure from Jonas and Sun Hao after two years, which makes it difficult for them to renew LaFrenz.
　　 Does LaFrenz matter?
Definitely.
　　 Although both Duncan and O'Neal are at an absolute disadvantage in the playoffs, facing these two bugs in this era, there is no inferior insider.
　　 His spatial ability and defensive ability against other players are still indispensable to the Mavericks.
　　 The problem is that because of the accumulation of too many big contracts, the Mavericks won't make any gains in the free market.
　　 So it seems that there is only one way left for them to take, renewing LaFrenz, and then signing some basic salary back.
　　 It looks like this, but in fact... it's not like this at all!
　　 Just before the draft, Nelson and Cuban actually had another fierce quarrel.
　　 The object of the quarrel, yes, it was about Nash.
　　 Kuban’s idea is the same as before, and he is ready to trade Nash for high-quality insiders.
　　 Old Nelson’s idea is the same as before, to keep Nash and find other ways.
　　 This time, Cuban clearly had the upper hand.
　　Because last year’s playoff experience told them that if they set the goal as a championship, without a good enough inside line, they would never even think about the Lakers level.
　　 As for Nash, he really helped the team when he played the Timberwolves and the positional attack and defense.
　　 However, the goal of the Mavericks is not only to defeat the Timberwolves.
　　 Their goal is the Lakers, they are the championship, and it doesn’t make much sense to win the Timberwolves by 58 points.
　　 And, when playing against the Lakers, Nelson even put Nash on the bench for a while.
　　 "Don, you want to prove to that guy Greg that you can win the championship in your way, don't you?"
　　The last words of Cuban made old Nelson lost his thoughts.
　　Old Nelson and Popovich are in the same position now, and Kuban's words hit the spot.
　　 And his next sentence finally made old Nelson compromise.
　　 "As for Steve, staying in Dallas may not necessarily be a good thing. Wouldn't it be good for him to let him be the core guard of another team?"
　　Old Nelson, finally compromised.
　　 This is also the fundamental reason why the Mavericks will pick Navarro in the first round in the draft.
　　 They are already preparing for Nash's departure.
　　 Soon after the gate of the free market was opened, news soon came from the NBA.
　　 Mavericks, made a deal with the Warriors.
　　 The Mavericks sent Steve Nash and Wang Zhizhi (sign first and then change) to get Eric Dampier from the Warriors!
　　 Dampier, the No. 10 pick in 1996, averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in the second year of his rookie season.
　　 His performance with the Warriors declined slightly last season, but he played his best defensive performance on the defensive end, averaging 2.3 blocks per game in 23 minutes.
　　 With a height of 2.11 meters and a weight of 120 kilograms, the league is one of only a few inside players who can compete with O'Neal.
　　 Well, that guy in history who calls himself "the second center in the West".
　　 That is a sham, but he is really capable.
　　 Sun Hao was still training in the national team when the deal was concluded.
　　 After the training, he saw Wang Zhizhi going out and answering a phone call, which was from Nelson.
　　 then learned the news from Wang Zhizhi's mouth.
　　 He also understood the actions of the Mavericks during the draft for the first time.
　　 Looking back, there was a sign at that time, but he didn't expect it.
　　Although he didn't want Nash and Wang Zhizhi to leave, the transaction had already happened and he couldn't change it.
　　 And Nash’s trade rumors lasted for a whole season.
　　 This transaction finally happened, and it can only be said that it should come in the end.
　　 "They said it was me the Warriors insisted on."
　　 But Wang Zhizhi's mood looks pretty good.
　　In the Mavericks, Nowitzki and Dampier are in front of him, and he can't even start.
　　 But on the Warriors side, after Dampier was sent to the Mavericks, the team's center suddenly became vacant.
　　 He will compete with Troy Murphy, who had similar technical characteristics as the team's substitute inside last season, for the starting center.
　　 And taking a step back, even if he has not competed against Murphy, the team’s boss, Jamison, is also a striker swingman and can swing to play small forwards.
　　 He still has the opportunity to compete for the starting power forward.
　　 Take a step back, how can he get more chances than when he was in the Mavericks.
　　 Sun Hao originally wanted to comfort Wang Zhizhi, but found that it was not used at all.
　　 And it is true.
　　 This is also what Wang Zhizhi got after his hard work last season.
　　 After talking with Wang Zhizhi, Sun Hao called Nash.
　　 "Did you know? I am participating in a football match in Canada, I won, and then I received a call from Don."
　　 Unlike Wang Zhizhi, Sun Hao could feel Nash's depression from the tone of the phone.
　　 In the past two seasons, his progress was visible, and he sacrificed a lot for the team, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of being traded.
　　This kind of experience really complied with the famous NBA saying: Business is just business.
　　 "The Warriors will use Dampier to trade you. A very clear signal. They want to fight more thoroughly. That's a chance for you."
　　 The wood is done, and Sun Hao cannot change it. What he can do is comfort and enlighten.
　　 And what he said is not a lie.
　　 Warriors, Arenas, Richardson, Jamison~EbookFREE.me~ They really have no shortage of scorers.
　　 But they are really short of dominating the ball.
　　 Nash went, just like Zhuge Liang went to the Liu Bei camp, like a fish in water.
　　 This and the Wizards of last season are also things that have never happened in history.
　　 Although the Wizards did not make it to the Finals last season, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals, which is much better than in history.
　　 Warriors, in history, these years have been super belly, before the splash brothers played in the small ball era, the standard younger brother and younger brother.
　　 If Nash goes, there is a good chance to change this situation.
　　 So this is not necessarily a bad thing for Nash.
　　 After listening to Sun Hao's advice, Nash couldn't help sighing.
　　 What he wants to hear is not that.
　　 What he wanted to hear was that Sun Hao told him those unwillingnesses.
　　They, but the three friends of Dallas Grass.
　　 After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao also felt his heart.
　　 Although I know that this trade is a win-win for Nash and the Mavericks.
　　 But in the locker room next season, there will be no jealous Steve.
