Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 188: Another shock in the free market
Although he had expected this, when it really happened, Su Wan couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder there are only three teams that have won three consecutive championships so far. Apart from the small number of teams in the "ancient times", only two teams have achieved this achievement in modern NBA.

There are so many surprises!
You never know when a "super team" will emerge!
Regarding the "duo" of the Los Angeles Lakers, is there anything wrong with you saying that they are "OK copies"?

Although Yao Ming is not as good as Shaq in his absolute prime, how can the current Kobe be compared to the Kobe of those days?
At the same time, Kobe, who had just finished his crazy outburst on Facebook, officially announced that starting next season, he will wear No. 24 jersey and will no longer use No. 8.

This caused discussions in the media. Some said Kobe thought he was three times stronger than before because 3 is 24; others said Kobe wanted to surpass Jordan because No. 23 is just one size bigger than No. .

Kobe's explanation for this is that he hopes to be able to devote himself to training 24 hours a day.

Su Wan saw his latest update on Facebook, left three letters, and then left without taking a cloud with him.

——zbn?

Kobe looked at these three letters and fell into deep thought.

Just guess, you can’t even guess that you’ll give birth to a son!

How big is the impact of "L.A. Storm"?
Let's put it this way, usually mid-July is the time when Artest pursues his dream of becoming a singer in the recording studio, but as soon as this deal was reached, he called Su Wan: "Su, we are in big trouble in the new season!"

He was deeply impressed by Kobe's condition last season, and it took the combined efforts of him, Suwan and O'Neal Jr. to defend him.

Now BYD has another center who was selected in last season's "Best Second Team" next to him. What the hell is this?

"We have to get into training soon, Sue!"

O'Neal Jr. had the same idea.

Originally he wouldn't be so positive.

But now the Pacers have won two consecutive championships, and are only one step away from the three consecutive championships, which also means that he is only one step away from the Hall of Fame...

This is the Hall of Fame!
No matter how difficult this step is, he must take it!
Su Wan heard O'Neal's determination and replied, "I've already started training before you started training!"

This year's World Championships will not start until mid-August, so Su Wan cannot wait until he has harvested the zone points in the World Championships before starting training. He put all the remaining 8 zone points from the playoffs into strength.

The potential values ​​of upper limb strength, lower limb strength and core strength have all been raised to 93 points.

When facing the Lakers next season, he will need to consume Kobe's physical energy even more frantically.

If you want to consume Kobe's physical energy, you can't be too weak in the confrontation.

Strength is the prerequisite for confrontation.

In addition, three-point shooting is also one of Suwan's additional training projects. Not only did he practice three-point shooting himself, he also suggested to Rick Carlisle that he supervise everyone to practice three-point shooting this summer.

These words touched Carlisle's heart.

He thought so too.

As the "small lineup" got better and better, he increasingly felt the importance of three-pointers to this team.

However, the current trend in the league is still to force the ball to the basket, and he is not sure whether the three-pointer will ruin the Pacers in the new season. If it were in the past, he would not have so many concerns, and he has the "stubbornness" of a veteran head coach.

But now the Pacers have the potential to establish a dynasty, and he will become a top head coach who coaches the team to win the "three consecutive championships".

At times like this, people tend to be more or less cautious.

Su Wan's support strengthened his attitude.

Soon, Suwan received calls from other Pacers players, complaining to him that Rick Carlisle was simply a "tyrant" who supervised their training during the offseason. When they heard that Suwan had also received the notice and had already started training.

They didn't say anything more and told Su Wan that they would definitely practice three-point shooting more.

Well, buddy has become "Tim Duncan"!

But in this way, Su Wan can be sure that the Pacers' three-point shooting will definitely be more stable in the new season.

Not to mention the others, Calderon and Artest have the potential to develop a solid three-point shot, especially Artest. He originally made a key three-pointer for the Lakers and Kobe in the 2010 Finals.

That was the moment Lakers fans loved him the most.

Another person Suwan is looking forward to is O'Neal Jr.!
The "Smiling Assassin" was fired by Larry Bird when he was halfway through developing his three-point shot. After Rick Carlisle took over, he neglected to hone this scoring method. Now he is practicing the three-point shot again, but he doesn't know if he can still develop it.

If O'Neal could shoot three-pointers, there would be no need for him to be stable...

The space that the Pacers' "small lineup" can create on the court in the new season is enough to make every ball handler drool!
The person Suwan least expects from the “small lineup” is Dio.

Given his lazy personality, he may not listen to Rick Carlisle.

wrong!

Given that he had lost contact since returning to France during the offseason, Suwan doubted whether Carlisle could find him.

Moreover, he is a player who can only perform well with the ball in his hands. Shooting by catching the ball is not on his "talent tree", so there is no need to force it. He can continue to play his imaginative passing ability. For Su Wan, he is the best Dio!

The Pacers really do not need his ability to catch and shoot three-pointers in the new season.

"Sue, Rick asked me to practice three-point shooting."

"..."

"Just tell me if he's a devil or not!"

"...Jeff, it's like this, is there a possibility that he dialed the wrong number?"

On July 7, all members of the Pacers were practicing three-point shooting in full swing, and the free market was in turmoil again.

Shaquille O'Neal, who had been in trade rumors before, finally has a clear destination:

热火队送出沙克-奥尼尔从骑士队得到了“大Z”、以及2007年步行者队首轮签、2008年骑士队首轮签，以及纽约尼克斯05年首轮第30顺位秀大卫-李，还有5百万的交易特例。

The New York Knicks sent David Lee, Channing Frye and Quentin Richardson to the Cavaliers in exchange for Larry Hughes, the Cavaliers' 2009 second-round pick and the 2010 second-round pick.

The Cavaliers sent "Big Z", Larry Hughes, two first-round picks and two second-round picks in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal, Quentin Richardson and Channing Frye.

This deal also caused a huge stir in the league.

Everyone knows that Pat Riley's move was to send Shaquille O'Neal away. Judging from the "Big Z" and the $5 million trade exception he received in the deal, it is clear that the Heat will make big moves next.

The media gave him an A for the time being for this operation. Whether it can be upgraded to A+ or above will depend on his subsequent operations.

Since Thomas came to the New York Knicks, he has been doing all kinds of things that have caused fans to have brain hemorrhages, so now no matter what kind of trades the New York media makes about him, it will not be new to them.

At least this time, they knew what Thomas's purpose was:
I want the defense line formed by Stephen Marbury and Crawford to look less shabby.

Although Larry Hughes suffered an injury in Cleveland, he was on the "Best Defensive First Team" two years ago. He also has experience working with "two-way guards" like Stephen Marbury.

Considering these aspects, many media, especially those in New York, gave this operation a D- grade.

Ok……

Unless Thomas trades Suwan to the New York Knicks now, no matter what Thomas does, they just want him to get out of here as soon as possible!

To make matters worse, a female executive working for the New York Knicks revealed that Thomas had sexually harassed her in the workplace. The name "Smiling Assassin" became even more infamous.

As for the Cavaliers...

Called "the biggest winner of this deal" by all media!
Not only did they get a high-end version of "Big Z", they also got two shooters, Channing Frye and "Ah Q". ——Danny Ferry has been targeting shooters in the free market this summer, and everyone can see this.

But there has been no movement, but I didn’t expect it!
A deal involving Shaquille O'Neal actually gave him two of his favorite shooters.

Most media outlets gave it an S- rating.

The main reason why it didn’t reach S or even S+ is that this transaction is not completely without hidden dangers.

The biggest hidden danger is Shaquille O'Neal's condition.

Everyone has seen Shaquille O'Neal's decline in form over the past two years.

He is one year older in the new season, and who knows how much his condition will decline this time.

If his performance declines significantly this season, his 2 million contract will become a huge burden for the Cavaliers.

What's more deadly is...

His contract still has three full years left before it expires!
If he doesn't perform well in the new season and fails to develop good chemistry with LeBron, then by then, not to mention "Big Z", even David Lee won't be able to be traded.

It can be said to be an extremely risky transaction.

If they succeed, the Cavaliers will become one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. If they lose, the Cavaliers may not have a chance to compete for the championship in the next three to four seasons.

However, Cleveland media and fans believe that Danny Ferry will become the "General Manager of the Season" in the new season with this deal!
Especially Cleveland fans, they really want to line up to apologize to Danny Ferry.

You should have said it earlier, brother!

If you had told me earlier that you were going to make such a big move, then none of those things would have happened before!

The Cleveland Plain Dealer even directly put out the headline: "After all the hard work, LeBron has his first All-NBA teammate in his career! The Cavaliers in the new season are worth every expectation!"

Ok……

What others saw was Shaquille O'Neal's declining form and his ugly performance when he was beaten by the Pacers in the playoffs.

But Cleveland people really want to say:
No matter how bad Shaq is, wasn't he still on the "Best First Team" last season?

In their opinion, these people are just jealous that the Cavaliers made such a good deal, and LeBron James finally has a strong reinforcement!

Su Wan, just wait, wait for LeBron to come and settle the score with you. It’s time to return the humiliation he has brought to us in the past two years!

LeBron James was also very excited when he heard the news, but he called Wade first:
"Man, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen, I hope this doesn't change anything about our relationship!"

Wade said generously: "This is not something we can decide, so there is no need to take it to heart, man, it won't affect anything."

"That couldn't be better, Dwyane, good luck in the new season!"

After making this call, he immediately called Shaq.

"Welcome to Cleveland, Shaq, I'm looking forward to playing with you in the new season!"

Shaq's hoarse voice came out from the microphone:
"King, prepare to ascend the throne. I will be your most loyal sword-bearing guard!"

seriously.

This is definitely the most beautiful sentence LeBron has ever heard.

Shaq didn't give him any alcohol, but he got drunk as a dog.

"Shark" plus "King", he really wants to post a status on Facebook, just three words:

Who else!
Just when he was excited, Danny Ferry called him and said, "Hey, man, I've done what I promised you. So, are you also going to do what you promised me..."

"No problem, Danny, I've thought about it, let's sign a 4-year contract, you just need to give me the player option for the last year!"

LeBron was very happy, so happy that Danny Ferry almost thought he had heard it wrong.

He thought LeBron would regret it, at least wait until the end of the new season to see if the Cavaliers really rose before signing him. After all, there were voices from the outside world that were not optimistic about this deal. The main reason was that Shaquille O'Neal really became a burden in the game against the Pacers. But he didn't expect LeBron to be so happy this time.

So much so that he didn't even think about why LeBron said the contract extension was "3 plus 1"!
On July 7, news that LeBron had signed a contract extension also spread throughout the league.

When Su Wan saw the news, he quickly looked up the progress of Wade and Chris Bosh's contract renewal.

I found out that they were all announced on the same day, and they were all 3+1 contracts.

The foreshadowing was really laid at this moment.

It's just that no one noticed this.

The main thing is that no one expected that these three people would want to form a group together.

In any previous "draft year", the idea of ​​the same class of geniuses was to kill each other to prove that they were the best of that class. Who would have thought that the "03 generation" would play a "brotherhood" game.

Suwan took another look at Carmelo Anthony's contract.

4 plus 1…

No problem, Anthony only cares about money!

This is the ultimate "money slave" who would rather hand over his money than have a gun pointed at him when he was a child.

Therefore, his achievement in the NBA is the smallest among the superstars of the "03 Generation".

His first purpose of playing basketball was to make money, and then use the money he earned to join the gang.

His path is beyond the court.

After confirming that the "03 Generation" had not changed their mind about sticking together, Su Wan no longer paid any attention to Cleveland's movements.

Although most people outside are optimistic about the combination of Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron.

But Su Wan knew very well that the problems between the two of them could not be solved just because Shaq was three years younger.

First, a very important question:
LeBron needs pick-and-roll when he attacks with the ball and needs to create space under the basket. Shaquille O'Neal is the center position that the league is most reluctant to move.

How to solve this problem?

But Danny Ferry was able to trick Channing Frye and "Ah Q" from the New York Knicks, which was quite impressive.

This deal actually improves LeBron more than Shaquille O'Neal's joining.

In view of the disintegration of the "Pistons Five", Suwan believes that the Heat should have no problem reaching the top four in the Eastern Conference in the new season.

“上肢力量：79→85（93）；下肢力量：80→86（93）；核心力量：84→87（93）；协调性：80→81（84）；速度：76→77（78）；横移脚步：77→78（80）；爆发力：85→87（90）；弹跳：85（85）；体能：82→85（88）；伤病抗性：100（100）；”8月1日，经过一个多月的训练，苏万的力量再度上涨，来到了“巨星地板”级别。

At the same time, physical fitness also increased to 87 points.

With such physical fitness and his skills, even if he doesn't open "The zone", he is a genuine All-Star player, and he is not even at the All-Star threshold.

He didn't delay any further and flew from Polis to Japan to join up with the Chinese men's basketball team.

Yao Ming arrived a week earlier than him.

It can be seen that Yao Ming is living a good life after being traded to Los Angeles.

How can it be bad!

Yao Ming has been in the media headlines these days.

Although Houston is also a big city, its media exposure is not at the same level as Los Angeles.

There, Yao Ming finally felt like a "superstar". Even the members of "Team Yao" kept sighing: "We are too late. We are too late. If we had known that the atmosphere in Los Angeles is so much better than that in Houston, we should have come to Los Angeles a long time ago!"

In fact, Houston is about the same level of development as Los Angeles.

But Los Angeles is a place where the media industry is concentrated, and the city's pillar industries are various culture-related industries.

Especially near Hollywood, a sign injured ten people, eight of whom were actors and two were directors.

Therefore, all the exposure lies on entertainment stars and sports stars.

Exposure is directly proportional to commercial contracts, and Team Yao has been accepting many endorsements during this period. Yao Ming came to Japan from Los Angeles only after dealing with these matters.

The World Championships was later called the Basketball World Cup.

It brought together the strongest teams from each state. The Asian Championships that the Chinese men's basketball team usually played in were not at the same level as this.

Moreover, this time the Chinese men's basketball team is in the same group as the American men's basketball team. The other four teams are Puerto Rico, Slovenia, Italy and Senegal, all of which are tough opponents.

The original Chinese men's basketball team only achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses in the group stage this time, and it was only thanks to Wang Shipeng's three-pointer to defeat Slovenia that they narrowly advanced to the group stage.

Of course, that was originally.

Now with Suwan, they defeated Italy, Senegal, Puerto Rico and Slovenia along the way, and stood in front of the "Dream Team 7" with a complete victory.

The "Dream Team 7" lineup is Carmelo Anthony, Shawn Battier, Chris Bosh, Elton Brand, Hinrich, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Antawn Jamison, Joe Johnson, Brad Miller, Chris Paul, and Dwayne Wade.

Looking at a group of elite soldiers.

But in the end, the original "Dream Team 7" fell in the semi-finals and only won the bronze medal.

This shows that they are not one of the top teams in this year's World Championships.

The main problem lies in the interior.

The inside line of Brand, Howard, Bosh and Jamison cannot play by the rules of international basketball at all.

There is no "three-second zone" here. Even if a center like Yao Ming stays in the paint until death, the referee will not blow the whistle.

This makes players like LeBron feel constrained.

The whistle of the International Basketball Federation is not like that of the NBA, which will give too much consideration to "super giants".

Wade was also affected.

At the end of the day…

The "Dream Team 7" still did not learn the lesson from their defeat in Athens, and still found a group of breakthrough players to play in international competitions. They did not bring any shooters like Ray Allen.

Facing such a "Dream 7", Su Wan had only one thing to say:

My sword is not at all disadvantageous.

He is not the only one who is motivated. When Zhu Fangyu saw LeBron James, he immediately thought of the humiliation he suffered during his time with the Cavaliers. Before the game even started, he kept saying in front of everyone:
"LeBron, leave it to me. LeBron, you must leave it to me. I will play against him!"

When the game started, Howard jumped to the first attack right for the team. LeBron was eager to show his status in this "Dream Team 7" and asked for the ball.

Then he met Zhu Fangyu's angry little eyes and rough confrontation.

LeBron subconsciously wanted to complain to the referee on the sidelines.

However, the International Basketball Federation had not yet implemented the No Handcheck policy at that time. They did not start to implement this policy until 2012. Before that, they allowed defenders to attack the ball handler outside the three-point line.

This is also an important reason why the "Dream Team 7" group of rookies failed in the semi-finals.

They were used to playing in a no-handcheck environment, and they felt really uncomfortable when they suddenly went back to the time before 04.

LeBron could only pass the ball. Wade received the ball, took a look at the crowded inside, and felt his scalp tingling, but he still forced his way to the basket.

"Snapped!"

As expected, Yi Jianlian taught him a lesson with a big hat trick.

Su Wan held the ball, but did not advance quickly. Instead, he slowly waited for Yao Ming to cross half court, get into position in the interior, and then passed the ball to him.

The alliance has two natural enemies.

Deron Williams restrains Chris Paul.

But to be honest, Yao Ming's dominance over Howard is even greater than Deron Williams' dominance over Chris Paul.

Two or three years later, the following phrase became popular in the league:

"Howard dominates other inside players in the league, Yao Ming dominates Howard!"

When dealing with "jumping guys" like Howard and Chandler, Yao Ming is really accurate in every shot.

"Shh!"

Yao Ming scored with an easy turn-around hook shot.

Howard was stunned by this shot.

No, you are so tall, and you still want to play hook shot?

Is there any justice left!
But soon, Howard discovered that his nightmare had just begun.

After a successful shot, the Chinese men's basketball team continued to feed the ball to Yao Ming in the following time.

Yao Ming also used various scoring methods one after another to beat Howard.

In the first quarter alone, he scored 12 points!
what?
When did Yao Ming become so dominant in international competitions?

This is not a fight with Howard!

When Yao Ming meets Howard in the NBA, if he doesn't get 20 plus 10 in any game, it will be considered that he did not perform well.

Moreover, most importantly, Yao Ming failed to become the "Shaq" in international competitions. There is another very important point:
The Chinese men's basketball team lacks a guard who can pass the ball to him.

Liu Wei's ilk even have difficulty dribbling across half court.

It’s different now. Although Suwan is not a very good passer, it is not difficult for him to dribble the ball across half court. Moreover, he has played for the Pacers for two years, so he still has some basic skills in spot passing.

With people constantly feeding him the ball, Yao Ming can naturally exert his dominance under the basket.

It was also thanks to his performance that the Chinese men's basketball team entered the second quarter with a 28-point lead of 23 to 5.

Los Angeles fans watched Yao Ming's performance and couldn't help but want to open the champagne, not caring whether the American "Dream Team" was behind or not. They had already imagined Yao Ming wearing the No. 11 Lakers jersey and scoring goals on the court.

After taking the lead in the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team reduced the entire lineup in the second quarter, giving the American Dream Team no chance to attack the basket. They also paid great attention to protecting the defensive rebounds and completely gave up the chance for defensive counterattacks. There were often three or four people crowded under the basket just to protect the rebounds.

The "Dream Team 7" could not break through and had no chance for a "second attack".

Players like Wade and LeBron don't even dare to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Carmelo Anthony dares to shoot and is a "killer weapon in international basketball", but his touch was not very good tonight.

more importantly……

"Another three-pointer!"

"OMG!"

"Su Wan's three-point shooting improvement this summer is too obvious, isn't it?"

"He has already made 5 three-pointers in this game!"

The FIBA ​​three-point line is actually the NBA's long two-point line, so if you have to say, it should be that Su Wan's mid-range ability is stronger. Of course, his three-point ability is indeed stronger. In the past month, it has improved to 3 points. 74 points is the upper-middle level of the main players.

His response allowed the Chinese men's basketball team to stay under the basket with more confidence and prevent the "Dream Team 7" from rushing forward.

In fact, due to various reasons of running-in, the playing style of the previous "Dream Teams" is a very simple defensive counterattack, with continuous breakthroughs and defensive counterattacks to play a fast-paced "wave".

This is true from the "Dream Team 7" to the "Dream Team ".

It’s just that the lineups of the previous “Dream Teams” were more reasonable, and they were all stars who were at their peak and had seen the world.

All the members of this year's "Dream Team 7" combined cannot even put together an NBA championship trophy.

Not to mention that the ball is still in the hands of LeBron, the "superstar" who can make all his star teammates mediocre.

Fans who have watched the 2024 Olympics know that if that "Dream Team" was missing two people and activating two of the DNP players, they would definitely be able to play with more dominance.

Some people really are like this. No matter what the abilities of their teammates are, they can turn them into fixed roles.

Su Wan felt relieved with the ball in his hands.

In the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowed the gap and the score difference came to about 10 points. LeBron probably saw his data and turned on his "adversity" mode at that time. He kept holding the ball and killing, allowing his score to break double digits. The game time came to the last 3 minutes.

The Chinese men's basketball team is just one step away from victory. As long as they can hold on to the final 8 points, they will become another team in the history of FIBA ​​to defeat the "Dream Team".

The “Emperor” takes turns to sit at my house, and this year it’s my turn!

It’s time for our Chinese men’s basketball team to experience what it feels like to defeat the “Dream Team”.

However, this is a very difficult thing to do.

The "Dream Team" has another characteristic. Like some mutated BOSSes, when their health is low, they will "explode" and become "invincible".

This "Dream Team 7" is no exception.

After all, each person is basically the core of a team. They are not good at cooperation, and they are not adapted to the rules of the International Basketball Federation. But when the game becomes a round-based game and they are required to stand up and solve the problem with their singles ability, they immediately find their own rhythm.

First, "One-on-One Joe" made a steady mid-range shot against Wang Shipeng, then Anthony made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. At this time, Wade also attacked the basket and successfully completed a layup.

In just one minute, the score difference returned to 1 point.

Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team also has players who can open the "Unparalleled" skill.

Yao Ming completed a mid-range jump shot from a high position, and then Suwan made a fake shot from outside the three-point line, shook off Wade, and rushed straight to the basket, causing Brand to foul.

After making both free throws, the Chinese men's basketball team finally defeated the "Dream Team 98" by 96 points, 2 to 7.

Another team that defeated the "Dream Team" in the international league was born.

That is the Chinese men's basketball team!
"Gan!"

After fighting with LeBron for the entire game, Zhu Fangyu, his heart almost jumping out, threw a fierce punch.

LeBron, who was standing next to him, suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and quickly hid far away with a look of fear on his face.

Zhu Fangyu no longer had any eyes for him at this time, and rushed towards the Chinese men's basketball team centered on Su Wan.

"Dream Team 7"?
Huh~
We are targeting you, the "Dream Team 7"!
The fans in China who were watching this game were extremely excited.

Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese men's basketball team to perform well this year, but they really didn't expect that this Chinese men's basketball team could actually beat the "Dream Team 7" and qualify as the first in the group.

Su Qun was still analyzing rationally: "This has a lot to do with the fact that the Dream Team 7 has no veterans, and their condition tonight was too low, to a rare degree. If..."

But the commentator doesn't care whether he is rational or not.

Yu Jia trembled and shouted, "This is a historic moment for the Chinese men's basketball team. This is the moment that all Chinese basketball players have dreamed of. We defeated the basketball powerhouse America. We did it. The efforts of generations of basketball players finally took root and sprouted on this day and bore fruit. Let us congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team for entering the knockout stage with the first place in the group. The names of each of them will be remembered in history!"

Afterwards, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully made it to the semi-finals, but in the semi-finals they met the Greek "muscle sticks" who had defeated the United States, and they also lost the game.

The Chinese men's basketball team is not afraid of "talented teams" like the "Dream Team" and their NBA-style play, but they are afraid of these "muscle sticks" in Europe that consume them like a meat grinder.

Physical fitness will always be a pain for the Chinese men's basketball team.

Su Wan encountered some accidents in this game.

In order to save the ball, he rushed out of the court and was about to hit a female fan who was watching the game on the sidelines. Seeing her frightened look, he knew that he was in trouble and she would probably go straight to the ICU, so he put his hand on the back of the chair and used the force to roll from her side to the back row.

He hit his forehead and started bleeding.

After simply stopping the bleeding, he continued to participate in the game. Unfortunately, by the fourth quarter, except for him, all other players in the Chinese men's basketball team had no physical strength left.

After the game, the female fan found an interpreter from somewhere and asked him if he felt dizzy and whether he wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Then he also knew the name of the female fan:
Yui Aragaki.
