The Fifth Point Guard

　　 Maybe this offseason is too busy.

　　 Athens Olympics, Adi’s trip to Drew, various advertising endorsements... plus an internal training camp held in my own home.

　　 Shentong really has no time to get distracted, so when he came to Cleveland to report on the team's date, he was surprised to find that the entire league has undergone tremendous changes.

　　 is consistent with the last time and space, and some is different from the last time and space.

　　 After all, parallel time and space, the development of things may not be exactly the same.

　　......

　　 On June 25, the 2004 NBA Draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, USA.

　　 High school student center player Dwight Howard became the No. 1 pick this year.

　　 Fortunately, he was selected by the Orlando Magic, not the Washington Wizards.

　　 Otherwise Howard will become a World of Warcraft or Erha, it is uncertain.

　　 As for Howard's character, if it falls into Jordan's hands, it will be useless in minutes.

　　 However, it’s hard to say.

　　 After all, Howard is called the "son of miracle".

　　 You know, before Howard's mother Xie Li gave birth to him, seven children had been aborted.

　　 So when Howard was lucky enough to survive, his parents called him the "son of miracle".

　　 Moreover, Howard’s idol is Michael Jordan.

　　 He has collected Jordan's sneakers and jerseys since he was a child, and imitated his stay in the air.

　　 So, maybe when Jordan coaches Howard, he will completely change a character, maybe?

　　 It was just like a foolish smile. After being punished by Crawford for a foul, he never smiled again.

　　 There is something, no one can tell...

　　......

　　The Charlotte Bobcats with the second pick selected UConn junior Emeka Okafor.

　　As the team's starting center, he led the team to the NCAA National Finals.

　　 In the finals, they defeated Georgia Tech 82-73 to win the cup.

　　 In that game, Okafor scored 24 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, and won the MOP of the Final Four NCAA in the 2003-04 season.

　　......

　　 The Chicago Bulls selected the 1.91-meter shooting guard Ben Gordon with a pick.

　　 Gordon is Okafor’s teammate.

　　 It was the two of them who joined forces to send Kang Da to the throne of champions.

　　 Given the Bulls' desire for shooting guards, they skipped Sean Livingston, who was known as a genius point guard, and chose Gordon.

　　......

　　 This year is a recognized draft year.

　　 But there are still many outstanding players appearing in this draft list.

　　 Devin Harris, Roll Deng, Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Delonte West, etc...

　　 The Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the 26th overall pick in the first round, selected an inside player from Brazil who can play Anderson Varejao in the fourth and fifth position.

　　 This player was a Brazilian professional basketball player before participating in the draft and played for the Spanish basketball giants Barcelona.

　　 may be because of the relationship between playing for the team, although it is playing basketball, but diving is also proficient in practice...

　　 Shentong's trip to Brazil made the knight look towards South America and found Varejao.

　　 They decided to take a bet with the 26th overall pick, and soon after the draft they signed a three-year rookie contract with Varejao worth $2.06 million.

　　......

　　The Charlotte Bobcats, the second pick, have never appeared in the league before.

　　 In fact, he is a newcomer to the NBA this season.

　　 After the Charlotte Hornets left Charlotte and moved to New Orleans to become the New Orleans Hornets, the NBA promised that Charlotte will get the right to form a new team and participate in the 2004-05 NBA season.

　　The new team is named the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Bobcats carried out the expansion draft on June 22, 2004. They selected a veteran such as Peja Drobniak who has played in the league for many years and a talented young man such as Sacramento Kings forward Gerald Wallace. people. They also completed a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, won the 2004 first-round draft pick, and selected center Emeka Okafor, who led the University of Connecticut to the NCAA championship.

　　 Due to the addition of the Bobcats, the total number of league teams has increased to 30, so the league divided all teams into 6 divisions, with three divisions each in the East and the West.

　　 Since then, the New Orleans Hornets have been reclassified from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference.

　　 New Orleans Hornets: I'm too difficult...

　　 This also indirectly caused a certain guard to not touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals for a long time in the future...

　　......

　　 After the draft, the teams in the league began trading and signing.

　　 On the first day the transfer market opened on July 15, the Cavaliers lost a general.

　　 Carlos Boozer did not accept the 6-year $40 million contract with the Cavaliers. He turned around and signed a six-year $68 million contract with the Utah Jazz.

　　 In the face of doubts and disputes, Boozer did not choose to remain silent, and took the initiative to stand up and accept the media interview.

"I called the Cavaliers management and said my thoughts,'There are four teams that are willing to give me a $70 million contract.' I'm just a second-round pick, earning only $500,000 a year. . This will change my whole life. I don’t just sit around and say something like “I want bread, but I’d like to get the money from the knight.” So I told them, “In order to stay Stay with me, can you guys make a big move.'"

　　In the end, the Cavaliers failed to keep Boozer.

　　......

　　 As Boozer’s “rebellion” intensified, Shaquille O’Neal “saved” him.

　　 A heavier transaction immediately diverted everyone's attention.

　　 The Los Angeles Lakers traded center O'Neal with the Miami Heat.

　　 They traded a shark for three players and a draft pick.

Almighty forward Lamar Odom, immediate wing Caron Butler, center Grant and a future first-round pick ~www.ltnovel.com~ In fact, in F4 last season, the inside of the Lakers locker room was already torn apart. .

　　 Malone and Payton were unwilling to wade in this muddy water and chose to retire immediately after the end of the season.

　　 While the Lakers faced Kobe and O'Neal choosing one, they placed their bet on the younger Kobe.

　　According to some experts, Kobe has been training this offseason and joined Shentong’s training camp, while O’Neal has been having fun throughout the holiday. In this case, anyone will tend to work harder Kobe.

　　 The Eastward Journey of Shark is also considered by many to change the pattern of the entire alliance.

　　 The combination of O'Neal and Wade is highly anticipated by Heat fans.

　　 The day after the news of the Sharks leaving the team, the Lakers signed a seven-year, $136 million contract with Kobe.

　　 On the third day, they signed the Kings free agent, and center Divac was making up for O'Neal.

　　 The Cleveland Cavaliers also subsequently made a deal.

　　 They made a deal with the Orlando Magic for Tony Barty who did not play as expected and a future second-round pick in exchange for Drew Gooden and Stephen Hunter.
