NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 507 Reported by the teacher about the earthquake in the alliance

According to reports from senior scouts, Nowitzki's choice to stay with the Dallas Mavericks may have cost him 20 million less. If he asks, the Mavericks will definitely give him a big contract.

Regardless of Cuban's love for Nowitzki, let's just talk about the 2013-2014 season that just passed, the 36-year-old German chariot 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 cut his salary significantly, should be most concerned about winning a championship, and after entering the offseason, the Mavericks management did the same.

portland.

The location of the summer hard training brothers camp has been decided. From July 5th to the beginning of August, several of them will conduct a one-month training in Hawaii.

The biggest reason for choosing Hawaii as the location is that it is a world-renowned tourist attraction, especially Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, the capital of the state. After training, you can go there to swim and surf.

But Wang Zelin has no plans to leave yet, and he will not leave Portland for the next few days.

First of all, after the draft, Wang Zelin attaches great importance to the rookies selected this year. As a "comer", 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 Trail Blazers to report strange.

Although Jokic still has contracts with overseas teams and may not be able to come this season, in any case, the future of joining the Trail Blazers with Jokic is even more worth looking forward to!

Secondly, with the expansion of influence, Wang Zilin's business activities will definitely become more intensive and frequent. How to balance training, business activities and rest time is not an easy task. He needs to formulate this plan with his team. Summer plans.

After waking up in the morning and having a delicious 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 has become one of Portland's most popular tourist attractions.

Thinking of the first year I just joined, how deserted the arena was before the game day.

But now?

Even if it's not a game day, the square is full of people!

The Rose Garden 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. The huge influence after winning the championship brings super high exposure, which makes more and more people fall in love with the Rose Garden Arena.

Just like the Staples Center and the North Shore Garden Plaza, which are known as the temple of basketball, without the rich background laid down by countless predecessors of the Lakers and Celtics, they would never be favored by so many fans.

Don't you see, after the United Center lost Jordan, didn't the grand occasion of the year disappear?

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 have been too many NBA stars who have left their imprints of their own times there. Various factors Created the uniqueness of Madison Square Garden.

Now, after the baptism of the energy champion of this rose garden arena, the soul is sublimated, and instantly has a super high popularity.

All this in front of him made Wang Zelin laugh afterwards. He really hoped to turn this into another holy place for basketball.

After parking the car, Wang Zelin couldn't wait to walk into the training hall.

When he pushed open the door of the training hall, he found twenty or thirty people gathered on the Trail Blazers training ground.

"Coming? Nikola Jokic has arrived and is undergoing a physical test now. You can see him later."

Seeing Wang Zelin appear on the training ground, the general manager of the team, Neil Orsi, greeted him warmly.

Wang Zelin glanced at the practice, and head coach Terry Stotts and assistant coach David van der Poel waved at him too.

In addition, he also saw a few new faces. After coach Gentry talked about it, he found out that these people are all outstanding players in the Development League team this year.

After deciding to add Artest, Alexander Pavlovich, Mike Muscala, and Mo William, the Trail Blazers urgently need to increase the thickness of the bench.

The 3D players at the front and back will become the first choice.

In this year's free market, Hayward, Luol Deng, Ariza, and Bradley will all be within the selection range.

As for the two biggest big fish in the free market, James and Anthony, the Blazers management will basically not consider it. They have Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Aldridge with unlimited potential, and they are better than young.

The stars cultivated by themselves have always been better than the airborne ones.

In addition to pursuing 3D forwards and guards, the renewal of several rotation players who expired last season should also be considered according to the actual situation.

Don't worry about Connit Lee and Beverly. After being traded to the Trail Blazers, the two of them still have two-year contracts in the Trail Blazers, especially Beverly, who will be paid a basic salary for the next two years.

Having said that, thank you again for a wave of Houston Mosaic management! Thanks for the three-year minimum salary contract they signed with Beverly on January 7, 2013.

Garnett is left, and the contract expires in one more season. Considering that the Trail Blazers will still be a strong contender for the league's championship next season, the locker room really needs a veteran like Garnett to control the field. Even with Jokic, Garnett is very useful as a third insider and mentor.

As for, would Garnett himself want to stay in the Trail Blazers?

Isn't that obvious?

If possible, no one should refuse the temptation to win a championship ring.

"Wang, Terry, Orsi, these are the physical data of Nikola Jokic."

At this moment, the trainer's shout brought everyone's attention to him. To be precise, it was the chubby young guy behind him.

In fact, before the draft, Nikola Jokic has been to several teams to participate in 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 championship team.

This has the best team atmosphere, and it is also the team where the league's No. 1 center is currently in service. Therefore, he not only hopes that he will be favored by the Blazers, but also worries that after joining the Blazers, due to the existence of Wang Zelin, the training opportunities he will get are mediocre.

"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 extremely nervous!

He has been to so many teams before, and as an unknown international player, he has never met the head star of any team.

After all, those stars have just finished a long season with great difficulty, and now they can't wait for their bodies to enter the offseason as soon as possible. Who wants to waste time on the draft, or the second-round pick.

Although he had heard that the reason why he was selected by the team was entirely because of Wang Zelin's appointment, he didn't take it seriously.

As the winner of this year's MVP and FMVP double awards, it is unlikely that Wang Zelin will know himself specifically.

He would rather believe that it was the Trail Blazers who were keenly aware of his potential, so they intercepted him before the Nuggets.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zelin, who won the O'Brien Cup on TV some time ago, is now standing in front of him alive!

Looking at Wang Zelin, who was talking and laughing with the team's head coach and general manager, Jokic's mind went blank. Thanks to the trainer's shout, he pulled his thoughts back.

"Son, how much do you weigh now?"

Putting down the physical test report, Terry Stotts looked at the fat Jokic, and couldn't help but want to reconfirm.

"Uh... 274 pounds."

Jokic hesitated for a moment. He just said he was done and couldn't tell a lie. He gritted his teeth and reported his weight again.

"Oh, my God," Neil Orsi on the side patted his forehead helplessly, then turned his head and complained to Wang Zelin:

"Wang, you told me that it was 255 pounds, but now...he is 19 pounds heavier than what you said."

"..."

Wang Zelin sighed when he heard this.

Although he had known for a long time that Jokic was not able to play in the NBA due to weight problems after he was selected by the Nuggets, but when he witnessed Jokic's physical test report, he was still a little helpless.

"Sir, don't worry, I will lose weight in the shortest possible time."

Hearing what the two said, Jokic began to fear that he would be brushed off by the Trail Blazers because he was too fat, so that his NBA dream would be broken, and he quickly added.

"Man, if you really want to make it in the NBA, I sincerely suggest that you have to lose weight!"

Although Teacher Yue in front of him was too mellow, Wang Zelin still comforted the former with a smile.

"That's right, let's start the skill test first."

The trainer smiled and came out to smooth things over. He had known for a long time 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 confrontation."

Nell Olsey Road.

The 5-on-5 trial training is the project that best reflects the true strength of a player.

In the scouting report, Jokic's biggest asset is his basketball IQ.

Although it is not possible to judge whether a player is good or not based on one game, but combining on-the-spot performance and people's previous understanding of a player can at least allow people to see a player more thoroughly.

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 Jokic on the court staring at him.

After realizing that he was also looking at him, the more active he was, he immediately turned his face away. Combined with his chubby figure and looking around, it was as if a student who was distracted found the head teacher standing at the window.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Aware of Jokic's predicament, Wang Zelin laughed on the spot.

"Well... this kid is quite interesting."

Terry Stotts next to him was also amused by Jokic's actions.

Soon, Jokic's technical test came out, but Neil Orsi did not rush to see it, but let Jokic take a break and prepare for a 5-on-5 training for a while.

Fortunately, today, in addition to Jokic and the players from the Development League, there are also some free agents who came to participate in the Trail Blazers trial training at their own expense. The number of people on the field can casually gather 10 people for a group match.

Does this kid really have such a high golf quotient as Wang said?

Neil Orsi thought so.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to Jokic, who jumped the ball in the middle circle, with doubts in his eyes and expectations at the same time.

He understands that Wang Zelin has never been a person who is aimless.

But Jokic's figure is too weird after all, it is difficult to convince him.

…

…

…

half an hour later.

The 20-minute confrontation is over.

Jokic didn't score much, only 6 points were recorded, but he sent 4 assists.

Finally, he asked Wang Zelin for an autograph, and then reluctantly left the Rose Garden Arena.

"I have to say, Wang, the Serb you appointed...is really interesting."

After everyone left, Neil Orsi said this to Wang Zelin.

Before leaving that night, he deliberately copied a bunch of Jokic's European game tapes from assistant coach David Van der Poel's computer.

In his heart, Jokic, a rookie, has been initially recognized.

Of course, before that, Jokic had to work hard and cooperate with the trainer's arrangement to lose that **** fat.

…

…

…

As more and more players test the waters 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 mountain and the rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building.

There are endless speculations about rumors. Although the NBA off-season suffered from the World Cup stealing the spotlight, the enthusiasm continues unabated.

Until July 12.

According to ESPN reports, LeBron James finally decided to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The world routine is that the MVP returned to the first team in his career and his hometown team.

After the Heat were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the finals, the drama of "Where did James go" continued 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 ~www.mtlnovel.com~Sports Illustrated published an article written by James in the first person:

"I have more affection for Northeast Ohio than I do basketball, and I would have realized that 10 years ago, and I realize it now."

For the alliance, it is another major event!

For James, it's also a reversal from his 2010 decision. During the 4 years of playing for the Heat, the Big Three formed by him, Wade and Bosh won the championship twice in 4 years, which is not unsuccessful.

Before that, the Heat also tried their best to keep and play James. Pat Riley, the godfather of the Heat, flew to Las Vegas in person on Wednesday, hoping to say that James would stay on the team.

But in the end, James still said "NO!" to Riley and the Heat.

He chose to return to the Cavaliers, to the team that drafted him in 2003 and also to his hometown team.

Since then, after the news of LeBron James' return to the Cavaliers, the number one active player, has spread, the entire NBA has ushered in a huge earthquake.
