Chapter 407 Little Oriental Giant
The fans in the Rockefeller Center were reluctant to leave for a long time. They looked at the Warriors players who were still somewhat sentimental on the court, and the fans silently blessed them.
After the cheers, all the players of the Lakers walked out to the Warriors players. They hugged these guys who caused them great trouble in turn, expressing their respect for the Warriors players in their own way!
"Tim, come back next year, I'm waiting for your challenge!" O'Neal looked at Duncan seriously, hugged him vigorously, then rubbed his head, and strode towards the seat where Bruce was sitting. !
Seeing O'Neill approaching him step by step, a smile suddenly appeared on Bruce's face!
"Bruce, you are an amazing guy, you are one of the best owners in this league!" O'Neill stood under the stands, talking while holding Bruce in his arms!
"Why don't you use this season's championship to comfort me?" Bruce jokingly pushed O'Neal away and said playfully.
"Hahaha, why not?" After speaking, O'Neill turned around very coolly and walked towards his teammates!
With the messages expressed after the hugs between the Lakers players and the Warriors players, there was a burst of applause in the Rockefeller Center, and some fans even cheered loudly for the friendship between the two teams!
"The Warriors' journey is over. Although they failed to continue to create miracles, their future is full of sunshine!" Rick Barry said in conclusion, and then hugged Kenny Thomas with a look of expectation looked towards the field!
The next day, a large number of media around the world reported the classic matchup between the Warriors and the Lakers!
Especially for the Warriors, they used a lot of space to report!
"The journey of the Warriors is over. They have brought us classic games after surprise performances. With their tenacity and amazing talents, we have clearly seen the rise of this team. If Instead of meeting the defending champion Lakers, their upper limit will be the Finals!!"
"A series of games allowed us to see the Warriors' strong talent and desire for victory. They used game after game to perfectly interpret their toughness. There is no doubt that they will become strong contenders for the championship, let us wait and see!"
After a night of thinking, Bruce finally recovered from the previous defeat.
As these media said, the Warriors played a series that surprised everyone. After experiencing this season's tempering, I believe that the Warriors will quickly become the top in the league. No one can beat them. Have no doubts!
After the series, the Warriors will face the complex problem of returning a large number of players to free agency!
The team's back line is the position with the most free agents!
Cassel has already issued a statement to the team during the mid-season trade, if he can't get a contract with an average salary of more than 500 million US dollars, he will not complete his contract renewal intention with the Warriors!
Cassel's statement has already expressed his opinion very clearly!
Although the Warriors have a group of people who will become free agents, the released salary space is still not enough to make them waste space casually!
In the 02-03 season, with Nowitzki's [-]-million-level contract coming into effect, the Warriors will have two [-]-million-level annual salary contracts and one nearly [-]-million-level annual salary contract!
Even though the league has not yet announced the salary amount for next season, with the current personnel composition of the Warriors, after their free agent contract expires, they only have a maximum operating space of $500 million.
Now the first thing Bruce wants to start is the investigation and research on this year's rookies!
Regarding the matter of free agency, Bruce planned to deal with it after the finals. He has great confidence in renewing the contract with Dell Curry!
Among this year's rookies, even if they haven't got a complete list yet, Bruce already has a list of the people he needs!
If you want to talk about the biggest trump card in this year's draft, I'm afraid you have to mention Jay Williams, Drew Gooden, Mike Dunleavy and others!
While these people have gained a lot of attention, some rookies with lottery strength should not be underestimated!
Nene Hilario from Brazil, Chris Wilcox, Stoudemire Jr., and some other top big men poured into the draft like a blowout in this year's draft!
While American players are getting a lot of attention, a young man from the other side of the ocean is doing his final struggle for his difficult road to election!
chicago.
Yao Ming was sweating profusely and kept doing various basketball moves. From time to time, he could hear the whispers of a large number of scouts and managers around him!
Since he was approved by the Shanghai Sharks in April to allow him to participate in this year's draft, the appearance of this decision instantly attracted a large number of scouts and managers from the NBA to Shanghai, so as to observe Yao Ming up close. Outstanding talent!
After several days of investigation, all the scouts and managers who watched Yao Ming's game gave great affirmation to the performance of this little giant.
Including the Warriors, even though Bruce knew very well that they would not get the top three picks or the No. [-] pick, they still sent out a strong lineup dominated by Chris Mullin and Rick Barry!
After several days of observation, Bruce still clearly remembered how excited Mullin's tone was on the phone!
However, after Yao Ming led the Sharks to win the championship this season by defeating the Bayi Men's Basketball Team, all the staff in the NBA are extremely interested in this big man!
Although Yao Ming expressed his interest in the Warriors in previous interviews, the sincerity shown by the Rockets is really irresistible to him. Besides, the Warriors already have Duncan and Wallace at the center position. His thoughts are also regarded by outsiders as the intimacy with Bruce as a Chinese!
Now, because he was preparing for the game with the national team, Yao Ming did not try out for each team one after another like other rookies. Instead, he specially accepted a grand "personal show!" in Chicago.
In this medium-sized training hall, Yao Ming shocked all the scouts and managers who came to watch with his all-around skills and soft touch!
With a height of 2 meters, Yao Ming not only does not have the slightest sluggishness brought about by such a height, but is extraordinarily flexible!
Hook shots, stable mid-range shots, coupled with his extremely flexible footwork, everyone recorded all the information with bright eyes!
Carol Dawson and Rockets head coach Tomjanovich were almost shouting with joy for Yao Ming's performance!
On the previous official website, in order to reach an agreement with the Chinese side as soon as possible, the Rockets directly published a promotional picture of Yao Ming wearing a Rockets team uniform and promised to sign Yao Ming with the No. [-] pick!
What the Rockets did made all the teams in the NBA see their sincerity. Before, because of Yao Ming’s difficult problems in China, even the teams that were interested in him had a little hesitation. If it wasn’t for this individual training Xiu, I'm afraid they would never have thought that Yao Ming's talent was so powerful!
It was also Yao Ming's super performance that made a lot of teams eager to get the No. [-] pick in the hands of the Rockets!
According to the final list of the previous lottery meeting on May 5, Francis shockingly won the No. 19 lottery with a very low probability, which gave the Rockets great hope!
In the Olajuwon trade that year, the Rockets directly entered the rebuilding process.
However, as the rebuilding began, Carol Dawson and boss Alexander were losing patience with the slow approach!
Just as they were about to use a series of actions to make a big fight this summer, Francis suddenly won the No. [-] lottery for them, which made the two shout excitedly!
Now, even though Yao Ming's Chinese problem is still difficult and difficult, the Rockets, who have already made up their minds, finally chose to bring Yao Ming to Houston at all costs after experiencing some tempting bargaining chips about the No. [-] pick. Decide!
With the perfect end of Yao Ming's personal show, on the same day that the Warriors ended the game, the mayor of Houston, USA, Brown, who went to China to participate in economic and trade activities, made a special trip to meet with the Secretary-General of the Chinese Basketball Association, Xin Cheng, on the Rockets' selection of Yao Ming. Conduct a series of lobbying.
Brown's sincerity has left an excellent impression on the Chinese side. Anyway, the Basketball Association has already made the decision for Yao Ming to participate in the NBA draft, so they have no reason to interfere!
Of course, it is one thing to decide to release someone, and it is only natural to ask for rewards and compensation!
Thinking of the series of astonishing negotiating oppression Yao Ming received in his previous life, if Bruce hadn't been in his current status, he would have slapped those guys' mouths hard!
How much of the income goes to the Basketball Association and the Sharks. If Houston wants to get Yao Ming, it has to pay 35 US dollars and a series of "cooperation" conditions, etc. All of these have caused Yao Ming and the Chinese Basketball Association to give the outside world a very bad situation. image of!
There is nothing wrong with national training and team training, but excessive demands seem a bit disgusting and unacceptable!
Afterwards, when the Lakers defeated the Kings 106:99 at home, the information about Yao Ming suddenly entered everyone's eyes like overwhelming!
"These guys are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Bruce looked at the newspaper in his hand with some emotion. Although he knew the value of Yao Ming very well, the reports of the major media now really made him feel the madness of these guys!
"A giant from the East, once he enters the NBA, he will bring a shocking effect like a tsunami!"
"Even if some professionals dismiss him for his thin body, his talent is undisputed!"
"Now the only thing that prevents the Eastern Giants from joining the NBA is the headaches for the Rockets and even all the teams that love him!"
This kind of information was known to all NBA fans like a snowflake. The discussion about Yao Ming suddenly blew up a terrifying whirlwind all over the United States!
