    The past three months, from Zhang Hao's perspective, have been a very relaxing three months.

    He doesn¡¯t have to worry about the game, he can be with his wife, he can have enough time to watch the two boys every day, and he can do what he wants to do every dayexcept he can¡¯t play the game.

    But in the basketball world, a lot has happened in these three months.

    The reason why these things did not cause too much heated discussion before is because the ratings of Zhang Hao's soap opera were so good.

    The dust has settled on Zhang Hao¡¯s departure and the time for his comeback has been clarified. Before this matter was confirmed, the popularity continued. After it was confirmed, it entered the hottest stage of discussion.

    O¡¯Neal has always complained that Zhang Hao is too stingy and not generous enough.

    Now after the transaction is completed, under the deliberate guidance of the media, O'Neal said in an interview: "I don't even want to mention his name, he is a traitor, he is a softie who only knows how to shoot"

    Remy Martin has just won two consecutive championships, and now they have become mortal enemies. This has a lot to do with the guidance of the media.

    After arriving, public opinion turned to the topic of whether the duo of Payton + O'Neal can continue to defend the title and complete three consecutive championships.

    The Lakers were once in a state of collapse. They tentatively signed free agent Dennis Rodman, and the already unstable internal situation was still messed up. In April, they returned to the top four in the Western Conference, and now they have acquired Payton.  , the situation is definitely better than forcing Zhang Hao to stay but Zhang Hao goes on strike.

    Although Payton is not as good as Zhang Hao in people's minds, he has been a second-team point guard for the past four years.

    Payton was traded to the Lakers. In people's eyes, Payton's life is too good!

    According to media reports, when Payton learned that he was traded, he was so excited that he jumped and cried.

    At this time, some things about the Sonics that had been ignored before were noticed - Vin Baker, who had just signed a five-year, $60 million contract, was overweight due to drug and alcohol abuse during the lockout.  The best team, averaging 19.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game, versatile offensive and defensive, 13.8 points and 6.2 rebounds this season, can only play 30 minutes per game

    Since Vin Baker is currently only 27 years old, not many people think that Vin Baker is going to be useless now. Instead, they regard Vin Baker as Zhang Hao's strongest helper after joining the SuperSonics in the new season. They feel that Vin Baker will be replaced this summer.  It can definitely be adjusted, after all, Vin Baker has been a second-team player for the past four years.

    But this time the season was shortened, Vin Baker really affected Payton.

    Originally, when they heard that Zhang Hao was on strike, Payton thought they had a chance to win the championship. Then he saw Vin Baker, who had only returned to the team at the end of January, dragging a figure like Oliver Miller

    Before being traded to the Lakers, Payton worked hard, but the Sonics still only had a record of 17 wins and 19 losses, with 14 games left, and it seemed that they would not even make the playoffs.

    Now that Payton has been traded to the Lakers, although it is a pity that he failed to take away Jose Hawkins and Schrempf, two powerful teammates, it has already made Payton extremely excited!

    Even if Vin Baker's condition has not collapsed, compared with O'Neal, he is still a player from two different worlds!

    The Lakers delayed for a few months and lost Zhang Hao, but they finally got back a second-team superstar. The current lineup is not very suitable, but at least they have recovered some losses and will not be defeated by the Celtics.  The team has empty gloves and a white wolf.

    After the results of this kind of thing appeared, people's discussion about Zhang Hao turned into how Zhang Hao will return next season and what kind of record he will achieve; and how far the Lakers can go this season after experiencing this disaster.  Far away, is the dynasty still possible? Can the inside and outside combination of O'Neal and Payton work together in the future

    Zhang Hao has confirmed the time for his comeback and will definitely come back with the SuperSonics. The league has avoided the disaster of losing the first player in the league and the first player in the future at the same time. Finally, from the perspective of fans' attention, the league operations have truly begun to return to normal.  More people are discussing what happened to other teams this season.

    The Jazz became the favorite to win the championship. Malone continued his incredible performance and played 35 games. He led the Jazz to a record of 26 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the league and becoming the top favorite for MVP. This year  In July, Malone will turn 36 years old. If it weren't for Jordan and Malone who entered the NBA in 1985, no one would dare to believe that a player at the age of 35 can still become the number one favorite for MVP.

    The Suns, Trail Blazers, and Timberwolves, the three high-profile youth teams in the Western Conference, have also undergone great changes after the lockout.

    The Trail Blazers are getting better and better. The pick-and-roll combination of Nash and Rasheed Wallace is playing very well under the leadership of Sabonis. The Trail Blazers have changed owners during the lockout. Paul Allen doesn't care about the NBA.A member of the team, but his ability was outstanding, so he continued to stay.

    In terms of players, there are not many players who are still under contract. The contracts of veterans such as Jose Hawkins, Sam Perkins, Schrempf, and Alden Polynice will all expire after the end of this season.  It's expired, and Aaron Williams' contract has expired.

    Originally, the contracts of Billy Owens and Dale Ellis expired in 2001. However, due to the lockout, the status of the two veterans declined seriously, and they were sent away by Howard Schultz when he matched the salary gap between Payton and Zhang Hao.  gone.

    Now, the Sonics still have players under contract:

    Jelani McCoy, the fourth pick in the second round of 1998, is 22 years old, center, 208 cm, 118 kg. In his rookie year, he averaged 5.1 points and 3 rebounds per game.

    Ratliff, a center in the same class as Zhang Hao, played 30 games in the shortened season, averaging 31 minutes per game, scoring 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

    The team¡¯s best asset, a seven-year, $63 million contract is a bit long, but at 26 years old, a little longer is just right.

    Vladimir Stepanya, the 26th pick in the first round of the 1998 class, 23 years old, center, 213 cm, 126 kg, averaged 4.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in his rookie year.

    In addition to these three brothers, there are two other power forwards who have contracts.

    ??Vin Baker, 27 years old, 208 cm, 136 kg 5-year, $60 million contract starts next season.

    There is one bright spot, but Zhang Hao guessed that Howard Schultz didn't care about it - Rashard Lewis, the fifth pick in the second round of the 1998 class, didn't play much due to injury in his rookie year, and played a total of 140 minutes. It was cheap.  The salary is $340,000 this season and $380,000 the next season.

    "Mr. Howard, the current situation is that we have nothing but a bunch of centers?"

    When it was time to get down to business, Howard Schultz became serious: "The two heavy centers selected in 1998 were both designed to deal with you and O'Neal, but the effect was not good."

    Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes, the current Mr. O'Neal, except for Malone + Ostertag, Duncan + Campbell, Brown + Mourning, Wallace + Sabonis, it is difficult for other inside combinations to restrict him.  .¡±

    Howard Schultz was a little surprised: "You think so highly of O'Neal? I don't think he performed well this season without your help! He didn't even control his weight. If Payton and Fox hadn't performed well, the Lakers would have lost  The team may be defeated by the Rockets in the first round."

    "That's because he is still in the adaptation stage. After he adapts to his new style of play next season, it will become very scary with Payton passing the ball!"

    "Zhang Hao doesn't say polite words, he just talks about everything. Howard Schultz is worried.

    "By the way, Mr. Howard, why do you want to renew the contract with Baker?"

    "What?"

    "Why should you renew your contract with Baker!"

    "I thought I heard wrong. It's normal to renew the contract with Baker! He is 27 years old. He has been on the best team level in the past few years. It is just because of the lockout that he has not controlled his weight well. This offseason, I urge him to train well and lose weight.  After losing weight, he will be 28 years old in the new season, a golden age, and will definitely be your best helper!"

    "Mr. Howard, is this your true opinion?"

    "certainly."

    ¡°Do the media and experts think so too?¡±

    "Yes! What's wrong? When Baker and I completed the contract extension, the media and experts said that we took advantage and renewed the contract when Baker was at his worst. The price was very low. If the contract had been renewed last season,  He can get 100 million in 7 years."

    "That's good, Mr. Howard, our first operation let's put Baker on the shelves for sale! Let's just say that my position overlaps with his."

    "ah?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
