Duncan's data could have been better. After Raheem joined, Duncan's playing time increased and his scoring data declined.
Originally Coleman could still serve as a substitute for the center position, but now
The same situation exists for Iverson, whose data has also dropped quite a bit, reaching a new low since the lockout.
'There are more Van Horn and Raheem. This is a normal situation. It is not only a normal situation, but also a situation worthy of vigilance. They have the conditions to strengthen in the summer. 58. The monkeys are giving way to Raheem and Van Horn. Quan, they are all willing to fight for the championship'
Zhang Hao is thinking about what kind of obstacles the 76ers will bring to him in the future. The big stars on the 76ers are looking at the SuperSonics lineup and thinking of the second-generation basketball player who is about to join the SuperSonics
¡®Why are all the rookies chosen by the opponent so talented? ¡¯
This is the most difficult thing for the stars of the major teams to understand about the Sonics after the start of this season.
The Sonics have won the championship in the past two seasons, but no one has noticed this, because the Sonics have been dominated by veterans in the past two seasons, and they can't wait to have the rhythm of all veterans in the entire lineup.
This year is different. All the veterans are cleared, and players over 30 years old are not available.
The views of the media and fans are different.
The Sonics are the two consecutive defending champions. No matter what, the media regard the Sonics as even stronger than the previous two years - this is what must be done to create buzz and increase ratings.
Most fans think that the championship is very powerful. There are some people who know the game and know that every time they win the championship, the new season will not be easy. But after all, there are only a few people who know the game. Most people still think what the media says.
Players are different. The SuperSonics' championship opponents know very well that the swarming veterans who have embraced the SuperSonics have played a big role in the SuperSonics' ability to win the championship in the past two seasons.
Experience, willingness to give up data and performance opportunities for the championship
This season the SuperSonics do not want veterans and are fully committed to cultivating young players. Not to mention experience, determination, etc. Strength alone is a big problem.
But the four first- and second-year players Parker, Ginobili, Chandler, and Kirilenko played very well! Parker was also favored by the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies used subsequent trades to help the SuperSonics acquire Odom in the Parker trade!
Looking at Chandler, Kirilenko, Artest, Odom, Ben Wallace, and Zhang Hao standing together on the opposite side, the rotation of the three frontcourt positions composed of these six people
The three substitutes, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, and Jason Williams, are also very distinctive functional players.
Iverson really wants to ask the opponent - you still have a rookie, Matt Barnes, who can't use it, right? Can you send it to us next year?
In recent years, the rookies selected by the SuperSonics seem to be able to play now!
In the past two seasons, I haven't seen it too much, and I have made it clear that Abf is made. This season, it has proved the draft strength of the supersonic speed team.
This also illustrates a situation-if the SuperSonics did not choose to fully develop new players this season, they may not be able to trade for Odom.
Looking at the previous teams that wanted to get young players from the Sonics, the Bucks offered Ray Allen who did not want to stay with the team and was unwilling to trade later; the Pistons wanted to give Stackhouse; the SuperSonics Eddie Jones, Finley, Reed, Hamilton none of them got the serious rewards the team wanted.
But now, after Parker showed his talent in scoring more than ten points per game in his second year while also getting four or five assists, the Grizzlies decided to help the Sonics win Odom
Iverson, Duncan, Raheem and others discussed this matter privately and came to the conclusion that the Sonics have a lot to gain by not looking for veterans!
Zhang Hao has entered his peak period and can help the team train young people and lead them to progress like O'Neal of the Lakers and Cassell and Jordan of the SuperSonics in previous years.
? Then, you can show your talent and show your draft skills.
And then through this series of methods, we will create lineup continuity for many years to come!
This will definitely be difficult, and it is very risky to do it in the year of two consecutive championships. The Sonics still have to defend the title. When other teams need young talent, they have to give it away
But at this time, the horrific personal performances of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, who led the team to an opening 23-game winning streak, made many problems no longer a problem.
The SuperSonics don¡¯t need to worry about the record or fight for the ranking After 23 consecutive victories, the SuperSonics¡°I can only sigh that if people¡¯s circumstances are different, everything may be different.
¡¡
On March 30, 2003, the SuperSonics came to Los Angeles.
Today, the SuperSonics officially submitted their 15-man roster for the playoffs.
Cassell, Arroyo, Brent Barry, Ginobili, Wesley Person, Artest, Odom, Kirilenko, Matt Barnes, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, Ben Wallace, Chandler.
Arriving in Los Angeles, the SuperSonics held a training session in the afternoon and announced tomorrow's activated list. Matt Barnes, Jason Williams, and Chris Anderson were placed on the inactive list.
The SuperSonics are in good health this season. Chandler, Cassell, and Ginobili have missed at least 10 times due to injuries. Everyone else is fine.
Due to the emphasis on cultivating new players, Jason Williams and Matt Barnes played very few games this season. The former played a total of 33 games and the latter 35 games. The former is indeed old and the latter It ranks very low in the team's priority for developing young players.
With the last 9 regular season games left this season, the official roster for the playoffs must be determined, and possible injuries must also be taken into consideration With these, the SuperSonics coaching staff has to be very busy, and the players must work hard to play better. Just fine.
Tomorrow, the last day of March, the last game of the month, the Sonics really want to win.
In terms of direct head-to-head results, the SuperSonics and Lakers are tied 1-2 this season, falling behind. This has a high probability of affecting the final ranking.
Moreover, if they play directly against each other, if the Sonics lose, the lead will be reduced by one game, and they will fall behind 1 to 3 in the regular season. If they win, it will be too much for the Sonics. Okay, let's continue to increase the advantage of 1 victory, and the result will be a draw in a direct confrontation!
At 6:40 in the evening on March 31, the SuperSonics players entered the Staples Center stadium first.
Looking at Pierce, Ray Allen, and O'Neal walking out from the opposite side Zhang Hao felt that these days, any team can produce a three- or four-person star combination!
Some teams may not be as strong as the giants, but they also have their own characteristics.
And such a situation will not lead to an excessive concentration of stars and damage to the excitement of the game, because these days, there are really many stars with strength and characteristics emerging.
The Lakers are naturally not a ¡®randomly pulled¡¯ team, but a representative of a giant combination!
After so long, the Sonics also know the multiple reasons for not getting Ray Allen.
First of all, the Bucks¡¯ vice president of player operations is a former SuperSonics general manager, and he is not willing to trade with the Sonics.
??Also, Ray Allen is unwilling to try his luck by joining the Sonics when the team has won two consecutive championships and is facing the retirement of one of its core players, Jordan.
Ray Allen himself was unwilling to come. The Bucks' new management didn't want to assist the Sonics, so they took advantage of the situation and sent him to the Lakers.
But now, the Bucks are said to have regretted it.
Because the Sonics were originally willing to send Parker + Kirilenko + draft picks, or Parker + Chandler + draft picks.
Payton is still regarded as a super giant. Referring to the future union president, even if he is almost 35 years old, Payton's transaction value is still very high. After all, he is a point guard who does not rely on physical fitness. At that time, Payton's value was not Less than two second-year players + a draft pick from the Sonics, and at best, a small loss in draft picks.
But now it¡¯s different Parker, Kirilenko, Chandler, their talents are gradually turning into strength!
"The matter has long been a foregone conclusion. The fans are very excited about the details that are revealed later, and the players also like to pay attention to these gossips related to themselves But these are just for fun and discussing legendary stories.
Now, the SuperSonics and Ray Allen, the shooting guard who was originally the most suitable for them, are already opponents!
"Shaquille O'Neal, 31 years old, 216 cm, 148 kg, ability evaluation 99"
Big Fatty came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder, and communicated with the referee to choose a ball with more air, and talked faster when it bounced or struck the iron.
Suddenly, Big Fatty saw a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure appear in front of him!
Open your mouth!
This bastard finally took the initiative to speak, and O'Neal had already started brainstorming how to respond
"Mr. O'Neill, you are getting old too"
