NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 343 Rookie

The game is about to start.

As head coach of the Jazz.

Jerry Sloan looked at his players, quite complacent.

Summer 2003.

Stockton retired, and Karl Malone went to Los Angeles for the championship.

Losing this black and white pair, the Jazz quickly fell to the bottom.

Did not make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

So far this season, the Jazz are 25-31.

However, anyone will say that this year's Jazz is a strong team in the playoffs.

Even, if there is a chance, they can compete for the championship.

And all of this stems from a series of operations by the management.

……

For two consecutive seasons, Kirilenko has performed well.

Although he has been unable to lead the team to the playoffs.

But the more important thing is the lack of other helpers, not that Kirilenko is not strong enough.

Originally, Kirilenko had the opportunity to fight for a big contract worth more than [-] million yuan.

Kirilenko's agent also jumped up and down.

If the Jazz refuses to bleed, Kirilenko will join other teams at any time.

As a result, in the final game of the regular season, Kirilenko was injured.

The Jazz management has never officially renewed the contract.

As a result, the 24-year-old AK47 suddenly changed from hot to no one cares about it.

The Jazz gave a three-year contract of 3 million.

Kirilenko was even more grateful.

Of course, after the start of the season, Kirilenko felt that he had lost a lot.

But the contract has been signed.

We can only wait for the next big contract to be signed.

This is the first main force handled by the Jazz management.

……

Last season was a mess, and it wasn't without its benefits.

At least, it brought the Jazz the third pick in the first round.

Coach Sloan needs a point guard.

Or, more accurately, the next Stockton.

Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Raymond Felton.

Those are the three best point guards in this year's rookie class.

Moreover, they all went to the Bobcats for trial training.

All three are said to have been appreciated by Jordan.

Today's NBA rumors are very evil.

As an owner, Jordan's draft vision is more sought after than he was as a player.

Of course, there is also Zhou Yao.

This summer, he is a free agent without a contract.

Of course, Sloan would not waste even a second on Zhou Yao.

Although Sloan, like other coaches, believes that Zhou Yao is the number one point guard in the league today.

But so what.

He wasn't the only one who knew about it, Jerry Sloan.

Salt Lake City is not attractive for such a star.

Besides, from Jordan's point of view, how could he not keep Zhou Yao.

As for the three rookies.

Sloan ultimately chose the taller and stronger Deron Williams.

4 million in 1635 years.

season so far.

Sloan felt more and more that his choice this time was right.

Especially after Deron double-killed Paul.

And Deron has become the second to secure the main position.

……

The July trading window is open.

The Jazz made a deal with the Pistons.

Got the Pistons backup center Mehmet Okur.

The guy was with the Pistons for 3 seasons.

never got enough attention.

I also want to change the environment.

After the Jazz came.

Playing time increased by a third.

The data is directly doubled.

Quickly secured the Jazz's starting center position.

Importantly, Okur just signed a 4-year 1900 million contract with the Pistons last season.

In other words.

The Jazz only need to pay 1450 million to use Okur for 3 years.

Absolutely great value for money.

……

Also this offseason, the Jazz got another guy.

Sprewell.

The guy had a complete falling out with the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves are unwilling to offer him another tens of millions of annual salary.

No other team is willing to satisfy him.

Sprewell once wanted to join the Bobcats with a basic salary.

But it didn't work out.

At the age of 35, he asked himself that there was still fuel in the tank.

Although not reconciled.

In the end, he accepted the Jazz's offer of 2 million for 500 years.

But, even he himself didn't think of it.

after Christmas.

Sprewell secured the Jazz's starting shooting guard.

……

The last main force of the Jazz.

It must be regarded as going out to meet noble people.

At the end of July.

The Wizards' Boozer was injured.

It can only be said that the management of the Wizards has shown off a show.

Back then they let the injured Zhou Yao go.

Now, they actually agreed to trade Boozer.

It finally allowed Jerry Sloan to get together the starting five.

The Jazz had a losing streak at the beginning of the season.

And now, they are working towards the playoffs.

Really made them do it.

At least in the West, no team wants to meet the Jazz in the playoffs.

Even, someone is already talking about it.

The Jazz already have the strength to contend for the championship.

……

The game begins.

Deron completed a beautiful pick-and-roll with Boozer.

2: 0.

Bobcats attack.

Zhou Yao broke through and gave the ball to JR.

The result was a hot pot sent by Kirilenko.

Deron breaks through with the ball.

Layup.

Also caused Ariza foul.

The only good news is that Deron made a free throw.

4: 0.

Zhou Yao dribbled the ball across the half.

Maybe it was a bit careless.

Stealed by Deron.

Pass to Sprewell.

Three point hit.

7: 0.

The Jazz scored three goals in a row.

The shooting percentage is 100%.

"It's time for a new dynasty in the NBA!"

"Everyone is leading the coquettish for a few years at most!"

"You've already won 3 championships!"

"It's time to be content!"

Delong originally wanted to say that Zhou Yao was old.

But think about it wrong.

The fact is that although Zhou Yao won the championship.

Won scoring champion, sad MVP, FMVP.

However, Zhou Yao is actually younger than Delong by more than a month.

But just saying that, it seems too imposing.

Zhou Yao received the ball and dribbled it across the half.

A sudden change of direction.

Deron's reaction speed is very fast.

"Is that all?"

"It might be okay to deal with others."

"To deal with me, it's still a little bit worse."

Zhou Yao's strategy has been seen through by herself.

Deron had a smile on his face.

And the smile froze on his face in an instant.

Zhou Yao didn't make any extra moves.

Direct pull-up jumper.

Delong has also seen the so-called dry pull.

The best player in the league is McGrady of the Rockets.

Of course, if it's McGrady, Deron is basically unstoppable.

In his opinion, Zhou Yao's dry pull is even more incomprehensible than McGrady's.

To put it bluntly, he is using his height and jumping, as well as his strong waist and abdomen to bully others.

Zhou Yao is taller than Mai Di.

The bounce is better.

Stronger core muscles.

The point is.

Before Delong could even react, Zhou Yao had already made a move.

Three point hit.

7: 3.

"Rookie!"

"Soon you will know that the NBA is not the same as your college!"

Zhou Yao spread his hands at Delong provocatively.

It wasn't the phrase "Welcome to the NBA."

Deron only felt that his face was hot...
